Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

A good day ends with making money.

Today, Pei Qian wanted to have a good night's sleep, then go to review, and reward himself with something delicious. The arrangement was perfect.

However, the ten million dollars that made no sense fell from the sky, ruining his good mood.

Pei Qian was silent for a long time, and asked, "This ten million dollars...Is it possible to sponsor it back?"

Based on the principle of whoever makes money and spends it, since the money is made by sponsoring the club, it is of course better to sponsor it back.

He Desheng said, "President Pei, you mean we will kill a carbine, and then continue to sponsor the club and continue to earn?"

"I'm afraid not."

"The Finger Company is not that stupid, and it is impossible to allow this to happen a second time. Before we sponsored the club and asked them to mark GOG on the team uniforms, it was a loophole with imperfect rules. Now the Finger Company has asked for it. Sponsorship of other games cannot appear on the uniforms of all clubs participating in official ioi events."

"Of course, the clubs we previously sponsored are still in a gray area, and the finger company is reluctant to pay them liquidated damages. The results of these teams are not good, so... just hang up like this."

"But no more sponsorship, this loophole has been blocked by the finger company."

Before Pei Qian sponsored a total of ten clubs, now five have to compensate for the termination of the contract, while the other five continue to sponsor.

Obviously, Zhitou has selected five more powerful clubs that are more likely to enter the quarter-finals to terminate their contracts. As for the other five, they really can't bear the money.

After all, it would cost another 10 million dollars to cancel all contracts, even Dayak Group would feel extremely painful.

Pei Qian was very melancholy.

For the benefit, at least the other five companies did not forcefully terminate the contract, otherwise I would have to earn another 10 million dollars, and the pressure would be even greater...

He Desheng said, "President Pei, what do you think of this money... how to spend it?"

Pei Qian was silent.

Yeah, how do you spend it?

Seeing that the settlement is about to be completed in one month, it costs 10 million dollars to make a surprise attack. Isn't this a silly mentality?

Of course, there are still ways to spend, such as investing in the "Mission and Choice" project, or continuing to advertise, sponsor, or engage in some promotional activities for GOG.

But after all, this amount of money is a bit too much. How to spend the money fastest and have the least negative impact still needs to be considered.

Thinking of this, Pei Qian said: "Don't worry, I will think about it again."

Of course He Desheng would not have any opinions: "Good President Pei."

After hanging up the phone, Pei Qian felt melancholy, and the good mood of the day disappeared.

I couldn't sleep anymore, got up to wash, and went to Moyu Internet Cafe for breakfast.

Then, Pei Qian was drinking coffee while reading the news on the Internet.

The news of the e-sports and gaming circles in the past two days has basically been screened by ioi’s World Finals. After all, the GPL spring competition has not officially started recently, and this is the only major event, plus Longyu Group’s help. So the news is overwhelming.

However, in addition to the results of each team in the group stage, there are also many FV club news, such as the excellent training conditions that broke out on the FV club's Weibo, and those lively Weibo.

And it occupies a lot of space, and the popularity is also very high.

Because today is the second day of the match, the domestic teams did not play today, and yesterday’s match was very ugly. Neither the media nor the audience wanted to mention it.

As the No. 1 seed in China, FV club has done some good work, which is very suitable for news reports.

Therefore, even if Longyu Group does not like the FV club, the game media still speaks of integrity and give a lot of news pages to the FV club for higher clicks.

Pei Qian didn't care too much either. Since he wanted to pull out hatred, it would definitely create a certain degree of heat.But these heats are also unlikely to be converted into income, and even after the FV team loses the game, it will have a negative impact, so there is nothing to worry about.

Pei Qian looked at the news in other sections again, and suddenly, a piece of news caught his attention.

"The rumors of the girl with cold face collapsed, Meng Chang clarified: rumors"!

Although the cold-faced girl has nothing to do with Yuanmeng Ventures, Pei Qian is still paying attention to the cold-faced girl's news.

If the cold-faced girl explodes and the valuation expands, then Pei Qian can rest assured that he ran right and avoided making more money;

If the cold noodle girl gets cold and determines that this is a rubbish project that burns money and cannot burn out the future, then Pei Qian can consider going to waste assets to burn money.

Pei Qian hurriedly clicked on this news to check and found that the cause of the incident was that a certain media broke the news that the cold-faced girl had failed in financing and had a tight capital chain. She had already defaulted on the supplier's payment, and she was afraid that she would close down soon.

And this revelation ignited all the negative news about the cold girl before.

In fact, since the beginning of the cold noodle girl, there have been many doubts on the Internet, including questioning that its food is not tasty, expensive, excessive marketing hype, and its reputation is far greater than the substance.

But before, the cold noodle girl was very popular, the stores were very popular, the online popularity was very high, and the taste was also decent, the price was subsidized, and it was not particularly expensive, so this voice did not arouse many responses.

But now the marketing craze of the cold noodle girl on the Internet has gradually receded, and coupled with this revelation, the cold noodle girl's previous negative voices have naturally been dug out.

This revelation didn't have too many stone hammers, it just turned a chat record, which was the content of the so-called "industry" conversation.

As we all know, chat history is not a real hammer, but it is better than no picture.

The news also aroused many people's desire for discussion. Someone wrote an article analyzing the cold-faced girl's business model, which was openly bad news.

The title of this article is "The so-called Internet thinking of the cold-faced girl is nothing more than pretending," and the paragraph at the end of the article can be called murderous.

"It must be admitted that Meng Chang has strong cross-border thinking, extremely high IQ, top execution ability, and super eloquence. From any angle, he seems to be a perfect entrepreneur."

"However, common sense tells us that no matter in any era, no one is any more stupid than anyone else. No matter how smart a genius is, it can only lie to consumers for a while, not for the rest of their lives. What's more, there are smarter geniuses above them. Perhaps in the eyes of other geniuses, such as Mr. Pei, Meng Chang's thinking is as simple as a piece of white paper."

"Meng Chang has been emphasizing Internet thinking and conforming to the trend of the times. However, he is like a child sitting in the co-pilot of a car, posing as a driver, thinking that he is in control of the direction of the car and acts as a driver. Collect money from passengers; but in fact, neither the car nor the road is in his own control."

This article is a perfect make-up.

The chat records that broke out are not authentic. The cold-faced girl can completely say that this is a smear of the competitor. However, this article is written with heart, especially the cold-faced girl's several fatal problems.

And the most terrible sentence is this sentence: Maybe in the eyes of other geniuses, such as Mr. Pei, Meng Chang's thinking is as simple as white paper.

This was obviously a matter of Mr. Pei selling the cold-faced girl's shares twice before making it clear!

As we all know, the success rate of Mr. Pei’s investment is extremely high. Mr. Pei has sold shares twice in a row. This must be because in Mr. Pei’s view, the model of the cold girl has a huge problem!

Therefore, the suspicion is very loud.

The cold-faced girl also dismissed the rumors for the first time, saying that the company's capital chain is healthy, financing is smooth, and there is no problem with daily operations. Please don't believe in rumors.

But the controversy about the cold-faced girl's business model has begun again.

Many news websites that reprinted this news, as well as in major forums, have heated discussions among netizens.

Some people think that the cold-faced girl was blowing up, and it is not surprising that she went bankrupt;

Some people think that the cold-faced girl is in great condition. This is the media's grandstanding and cheating of clicks;

Some people think that Meng Chang likes marketing so much. This is probably a self-defeating and cooperating with the media.

In short, there are different opinions, but there are indeed more and more questions about the cold girl.

Looking at these arguments on the Internet, Pei Qian was speechless and contradictory.

Obviously, many people know about the fact that Yuanmeng Ventures sold the shares of the cold-faced girl, and think this is a clear signal: the cold-faced girl is not favored by Mr. Pei, and sooner or later will be cold.

However, Pei Qian himself knew exactly why he wanted to sell his shares.

The contradiction lies in whether the cold noodle girl can do it or not?Looking at the news that broke out now, it seems that he has encountered some difficulties, but if Pei Qian makes a move now, what if he saves it directly?

This is very tangled.

After considering for a long time, Pei Qian decided to respond to all changes with the same, saying that he could no longer be fooled.

This time, you must wait until the cold-faced girl is completely dead, and there is no possibility of rescue at all, and you must not make a profit again!

...

At the same time, Fuhui Capital.

Li Shi and Xue Zhebin stared wide-eyed and looked blank.

Xue Zhebin tentatively said, "Mr. Li, your judgment of Mr. Pei... seems to have some deviations?"

"If Mr. Pei runs away... what shall we do!"

Li Shi took a sip of tea in silence, without replying.

After Li Shi and Xue Zhebin invested 8 million in the cold noodle girl, Mr. Pei immediately sold all the cold noodle girl shares that he had previously spent 2 million to buy, and once again completely separated the line with the cold noodle girl.

As a result, this move immediately had a chain reaction, and investors were even less optimistic about the cold girl model!

According to Meng Chang’s plan, after getting the investment of President Li, he will make the last effort to push up the valuation of the cold noodle girl and talk to more investors. As a result, President Pei’s engagement is equivalent to Taking salary from the bottom of the tank directly cut off Meng Chang's back road!

Meng Chang couldn't make the investment, and the cold noodle girl continued to burn money. These 8 million seem to be a lot, but in fact, it can't last long. The cold noodle girl's capital chain is already very tight.

It was revealed on the Internet that the cold-faced girl was about to go bankrupt. Although it was a bit exaggerated and an exaggeration, it was indeed not groundless.Investors have generally disliked this project, and it is inevitable that there will be rumors.

After the unscrupulous media added fuel and vinegar, it became what it is now.

Obviously, the cold-faced girl has reached a critical moment of life and death. Most of the companies that have closed down have problems with the capital chain very suddenly, or they will die in a short period of time.

This makes the investment of Li Shi and Xue Zhebin very stupid...

Of course, other investors have more or less shares of cold-faced girls, and Li Shi is not the biggest victim.

Now everyone is in a more contradictory state of mind.

I want to sell, but if everyone sells, the valuation of the cold-faced girl will collapse in an instant, then all the shares in everyone’s hands are worthless, and don’t want to run any of them; but if someone sells someone else, sell it first. People who can get out of it will be locked up.

Xue Zhebin followed Li Shi all the way, but he saw Li Shi both on-site investigation and repeated analysis. He learned very carefully, but in the end it seemed that he failed to vote. This is quite a negative teaching material.

Li Shi coughed twice, alleviating the embarrassment on the scene.

"Don't panic, although the cold-faced girl's matter has ushered in a turning point, it is obviously not over yet."

"The reason is President Pei's operation!"

"President Pei first invested 2 million, and then immediately sold it. Others may interpret it as a problem that President Pei saw the cold girl and got out in time, but I don't think so much."

"If Mr. Pei thinks that there is a problem with the cold noodle girl, he must have noticed it at the beginning, otherwise he would not sell all the shares. After the sale, he invested another 2 million, why?"

"Mr Pei is so idle, playing with Meng Chang?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Obviously, this 2 million operation has another profound meaning. In my opinion, it is possible that Pei always deliberately sent a signal, waiting for the cold girl's valuation to collapse!"

"And President Pei’s move is definitely not purely to teach Meng Chang. As I said before, President Pei only talks about interests and not emotions in business. Even if President Pei hates Meng Chang and imposes a slight punishment, this can only be the first The second purpose, the first purpose is definitely to make money through the cold girl!"

"The first President Pei has made a lot of money by selling the shares of the cold-faced girl. If only this is the case, the next 2 million is completely unnecessary."

"So I judge, President Pei will definitely do something afterwards!"

"I will choose a suitable time to buy some cold-faced girls' shares at a low price."

"This time, I want to predict Mr. Pei's plan and walk ahead of Mr. Pei!"

...

2012, January 1, New Year's Day.

8 am domestic time, 4 pm Los Angeles time on December 31, 2011.

Pei Qian got up as usual, and did not have any special feelings for the New Year's Day holiday, nor did he have the habit of staying up all night until midnight.

This year is a special year in 2012, so there are endless discussions about this year on the Internet.

As early as 2009, a global disaster film called "2012" was released, and the fable of the Maya has already been widely known.

However, Pei Qian knows very well that in 2012, there is nothing particularly worthy of attention. The so-called end of the world on December 21 is just nonsense. In addition, the Olympic Games and the US presidential election are actually related to most people. Daily life doesn’t matter much.

Therefore, Pei Qian is not in the mood to care about the discussions about the special year of 2012, and still focus on his own affairs.

Examination week has to continue to review, and the group match results of the two domestic teams in the ioi global finals have also come out.

One team was eliminated, and one team insisted on the same point playoff, but still lost after the fierce battle, and eventually lost the qualification for the quarterfinals.

And just now, the second team's game has just ended, and the entire live broadcast room is filled with all kinds of abuse. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the end of domestic ioi!
