"You have made progress, Guangran, you have made progress. Being able to propose such ideas and ask such questions means that you are no longer just a senior programmer, but a product manager with product thinking."

"Hehe, thank you, boss, it's all well-trained by the boss." Liu Guangran laughed.

Because of his round hairline with a somewhat high hairline and a fat body, he looks a little cute.

Cao Yang was a little urge to reach out to pinch Liu Guangran's face.

"It's like this, some things have to be done." Cao Yang put down his wine glass, put his hands behind his head, and looked at the starry sky with some sigh.

At this time, the air was cold and the stars were shining.

It seems that the situation is unpredictable but full of broad prospects in the Internet industry.

Liu Guangran stopped smiling, looked at him seriously, and listened to what Cao Yang was going to say behind him.

"I did this for my own reasons." Cao Yang said, "The situation was quite complicated at that time. You also know that when I first went to Shenzhen City to negotiate, I only got the equity of Xiao Ma Ge's team, and Penguin was still 40% outside."

"Yeah." Liu Guangran nodded.

As Cao Yang's confidant, he didn't know much about Penguin's development, but he still knew this history.

"Do you remember when I asked you to develop a game platform?" Cao Yang asked.

"It's July." Liu Guangran said, "I still remember this very clearly."

At that time, Liu Guangran was suddenly called to the office by Cao Yang and took over the project. Liu Guangran was actually confused.

Because he felt that the risk from doing galgame to making a chess and card hall was a bit high.

From a technical perspective, making galgame is a stand-alone game, without considering the network environment, server interaction, player information storage, or how to connect to the currency system and how to complete bank transfers...

There is no need to consider how to connect with the QQ platform later.

Building a chess and card hall is equivalent to entering another track. From a technical perspective, what they had to face at that time was a lot of unknown things that needed to be newly developed.

Fortunately, all this has been overcome.

From July to December, this speed is relatively fast.

Fortunately, the technical requirements of the chess and card games themselves are not very high, and the difficulties are mainly on the Internet.

"I just finished discussing the equity acquisition with Brother Xiao Ma at that time." Cao Yang recalled the situation at that time and was still a little emotional. "But I have no idea when I can take it back, maybe it is possible that I can't take it back in my life."

Liu Guangran didn't say anything, just lowered his head to drink and thought quietly.

"And this is quite possible," Cao Yang continued, "especially once QQ starts to make money, for example, as you said, if I hand over the game platform to Penguin for development, then this matter will not have much to do with Bomi.

At least when the game starts to make a profit, QQ will definitely take the big shot."

Now, because Cao Yang is the absolute controlling shareholder of the two companies, he signed a contract with his left hand and his right hand. As the developer of the game hall, Bomi will share the big head after making a profit, and Penguin can get a small part.

But all of this was calculated by Cao Yang a long time ago.

"Think about it, as the other two major shareholders of Penguin, Yingke and IDG, what would they think if they saw that Penguin could make money?" Cao Yang smiled sly, making Liu Guangran feel scared.

"Once the game platform is made, the penguin is no longer a thin penguin, it will become a penguin that can lay golden eggs. Although I own 60% of the shares, by that time, they will definitely urge the shareholders' meeting to demand capital increase.

Compared with these old investors, Bomi's assets are still too thin.

Moreover, if Penguin goes public, if I can’t afford enough money, I may be kicked out due to equity dilution.”

"Um..." Liu Guangran's eyes trembled, and he was frightened by Cao Yang's words.

He, a programmer, never thought that the water here was so deep.

"Even if my equity has not been diluted, then think about it, when the penguins make money, they will have to share the accounts." Cao Yang took a sip of beer and slapped the wine glass on the table, "Why should I share the shares?"

"Well...this..." Liu Guangran lowered his head, not knowing how to answer.

If you want to do a program, there will definitely be no problem in technology. If you want to play finance, Liu Guangran feels that he is not the material.

He even felt that it was not appropriate for someone to pay for the shares and get some dividends?

But Cao Yang doesn't think so.

He doesn't like the Li family and his son, nor does he like American investors.

In the bones, Cao Yang always feels that these people have no good intentions.

So Cao Yang would rather learn from Huawei's boss and give his equity to his employees than give them to these people.

Moreover, there is another advantage to let Bomi carry out game development-

When Cao Yang was not sure whether he could reclaim his equity, he could make Bomi profit, while Penguin was not profitable or even lose money.

This situation is easy to understand:

Game development is Bomi development, and then contracts are signed between the two sides. After the game is launched, Bomi takes the lead.

The penguin gets less money.

Continuous losses can continue to reduce Penguin's valuation and become less valuable.

Finally, IDG and Yingke were forced to sell their equity.

To put it bluntly, this move is a killer move. No matter what, IDG and Yingke cannot make money from Penguin.

It was only a matter of time before they sold the equity to Cao Yang.

...

Cao Yang smiled calmly, and did not tell Liu Guangran this killer move, but planned to bury it all the way as his secret.

Although Liu Guangran doesn't understand very much, there is one thing he still understands-

If the game hall is left to Penguin to do it, then there will be nothing Bomi has to do.

Moreover, Liu Guangran could not have any meat to eat, and he could not even drink soup.

So he has to thank Cao Yang.

"Boss, I'm so moved." Liu Guangran raised his wine glass, "Thank you for your hard work for your brothers."

Seeing his expression of drunkenness and even tears rolling in his eyes, Cao Yang felt a little funny.

Guangran is really cute.

"No, thank you for your hard work." Cao Yang picked up the cup, the two of them touched each other, and drank it all in one go.

After a while, Cao Yang was half lying on the chair in the bitter cold wind, feeling a little headache.

In fact, there was one thing he didn't tell Liu Guangran.

After reclaiming the equity, Cao Yang can now operate to merge the two companies.

I control the two companies myself and have not merged, but actually have my own considerations.

In the future, Penguin can be listed independently and then cut American leeks.

As the main money-producing machine, Bomi must stay in China and never raise funds to benefit the people.

When Cao Yang thought of this, he couldn't help but laugh.

...

"Boss, you're really amazing."

Liu Guangran admired Cao Yang so much that he was overwhelmed.

He knocked on the table and happily recalled the journey along the way, feeling the joy of guarding the clouds and seeing the moon bright.

etc.

Liu Guangran's eyes were stunned, and suddenly he thought of a terrible question-

The boss's layout is so deep that he had already thought about it before acquiring Penguin.

But at that time, Penguin was still a small company, and all the boss's behavior revealed strangeness, as if he knew that it would happen from the beginning.

Liu Guangran raised his red cheeks.

"Boss, you shouldn't have the ability to predict the future, right?"
