Reborn multinational giant

Speaking of it, Liu Jiande has been very concerned about this company called Huizhong recently.

As early as last year, a web game platform called Zhongle emerged in the industry as a dark horse, and soon broke the industry record and became the industry leader. He became interested in this company.

Some time ago, his classmates in the United States called him to chat and said that they were playing a game called "Happy FarmVille", which made Liu Jiande quite novel. His classmate, like himself, is nearly forty years old and has never been before. He has never touched the game much. In a word he said to himself before, games are all poisons. Higher creatures should seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and stay away from this poison!

Unexpectedly, he was also poisoned today!

The curious Liu Jiande naturally investigated this game, and then he discovered that this game was also produced by the company called Huizhong. It is hard to imagine the popular poison social game "HappyFarmVille" in European and American countries. "It turned out to be a Chinese company, and the founder of this company was so young.

Now this company is proactively contacting itself and expressing its intention to acquire 91 Assistant, a humble product of their company. This makes Liu Jiande feel very interesting, it is difficult, this product that has been ignored by himself, what is it? Baby isn't it?

If Fang Zhe knew what Liu Jiande was thinking now, he would definitely regret contacting NetDragon directly in the name of Huizhong. Huizhong today is no longer the little-known company in the past, although most ordinary netizens in China are not. Know that Huizhong, Huizhong's domestic reputation, does not have its platform Zhonglego.

But in the eyes of other companies in the same industry, Huizhong is already a company worth paying attention to, especially after the February flow data of the international version of "Happy Farm" was known to the peers, Huizhong's every move has attracted attention.

After Huizhong contacted NetDragon, Liu Jiande asked his staff to conduct further investigations on the company. Only then did he discover that, in addition to the web games and mobile game fields, this company has already started to move, like himself and NetDragon. Internet industry.

This kind of thing is basically difficult to hide. Just search the company's recent recruitment information on a recruitment website and you can infer what this company is going to do.

Talent points to business, which is the most effective way to judge a company's strategic intentions.

And because of this, the 91 assistants who had not been taken seriously by him suddenly lost weight in his heart. He believed that the vision of the young man in front of him was absolutely not bad, otherwise it would not be possible in just half a year. In China, it is a miracle to make a company with a monthly revenue of five or six billion yuan, even in the Internet industry that creates legends and myths.

"President Fang, it is inconvenient for you to disclose why you want to acquire our company's 91 assistant and its R&D team. Are you very optimistic about this market?"

Although Liu Jiande's remarks were a bit presumptuous and taboo, he was a seller after all, and asking such a question would not be considered abrupt.

When Fang Zhe heard him say this, he wondered a little bit in his heart. Liu Jiande didn’t reply for a long time. He seemed to be speculating on Huizhong’s intention to buy 91 assistants. Although this situation is normal, it also shows that the acquisition is difficult. If he wants to show a strong intention to acquire, he is likely to be slaughtered by Liu Jiande's lion's mouth, or he may be too determined. He understands that Assistant 91 is a treasure and refuses his purchase.

"Liu Dong, you should know about the iPhone, Apple's mobile phone?" Fang Zhe did not answer the question.

"Alright!" Liu Jiande nodded. If it were not for the appearance of the iPhone, he would not have been able to pay attention to the mobile Internet, and if it were not for the mobile Internet, he would not be able to acquire 91 Assistant, and NetDragon would not be able to form a wireless business unit.

"Then you should also be able to see that this is an opportunity. Regardless of the industry's prospects, Huizhong, as a young Internet company, should pay attention to it. And Huizhong, like NetDragon, is a game company. The most lack of business is stability, I believe Dong Liu, you should have a deep understanding of this." Fang Zhe answered vaguely, saying that he didn't say it.

Liu Jiande did not speak. He agrees with Fang Zhe’s point of view. If an Internet company wants to survive well, it must be sufficiently sensitive to the development of the industry. Otherwise, the times will change, and the founder may not have retired yet. This industry It became a sunset industry.

Games, this traditional and ancient entertainment activity, has a history of several thousand years, but online games have only been around for more than ten years. One of the great features of online game companies is that their income is unstable. The average investor is not optimistic about this. In the industry, sometimes when a game comes out, the company that develops it may make a lot of money, and sometimes it loses all the panties it may lose.

This kind of ups and downs roller coaster business situation is also the reason why it is difficult for many game companies to go public, and the stock prices and P/E ratios are very low after listing.

Since NetDragon went public in Hong Kong last year, its roller-coaster stock price has gone through several times. When a certain game of their company enters a fatigue period, the profit decline can be clearly reflected in the financial report, and all games have a life cycle. Games that last a short year or two, five or six years long, and can live for more than 10 years are basically classic games and a company's cash cow.

Their company’s 2006 public beta online game "Magic Domain" has made a lot of money for the company in the past two years. It is also with the performance of this game that NetDragon was able to be listed on the Hong Kong main board. But now, this game is no matter the income or the income. There has been a downward trend in all aspects. NetDragon now urgently needs to find new profit pillars and businesses. Otherwise, Liu Jiande can't imagine how much NetDragon's stock price will fall in the future.

Liu Jiande could not imagine, but Fang Zhe, who was reborn in the world, knew that in a very short time, at the end of this year, NetDragon’s stock price will fall to less than 3 yuan. Now, NetDragon’s stock price is still more than 17 yuan. It has fallen to less than one-fifth of the current year. One can imagine how miserable NetDragon will be for some time in the future. In other words, the Hong Kong stock market can also be shorted. Do you want to short NetDragon?

Forget it, this kind of thing is not worth mentioning. "Small companies" like NetDragon are not worthy of Fang Zhe's shorting. Can the shareholders of their company hold back the market? If you don’t make much money, if you want to be short, you have to short a few large foreign companies. Only when you make dollars, you can really bully the Chinese.

It stands to reason that Fang Zhe’s share price of NetDragon will fall to the bottom in the future, and it will be easy and easy to buy Assistant 91 when the financial situation is tightening. I believe that at that time, let alone Assistant 91, but if Fang Zhe is interested, Liu Jiande should Will be willing to sell.

In his previous life, when NetDragon’s stock price fell to the bottom, Xiong Jun, the current head of Assistant 91, left NetDragon to start a business. The reason was that NetDragon had a large number of layoffs at that time, and many of Xiong Jun’s younger brothers were laid off. , The company has more and more restrictions on 91 assistants. As the product manager, he had a lot of conflicts with the above, so he left to start a business.
