Reborn multinational giant

Chapter 256 Net Dragon Crisis

The meeting between Fang Zhe and Mr. Zhou lasted just one morning. However, this meeting destined Fang Zhe as a rebirth, moved the compass of destiny, and changed the development trajectory of many people and companies. Among them, there are Mr. Li, Mr. Zhou, Baidu and 360, there are also many people and companies who have inextricably linked with the two companies.

Fang Zhe believes that as the energy of himself and Huizhong grows, the greater the degree of change he has made to the original history, but Fang Zhe is not worried that this change will make him lose too much foresight or other advantages.

Because while he is changing more and more history, he is also becoming more and more from a chess piece controlled by fate to become a chess player. Perhaps one day, when he and Huizhong are in China and grow up in the world After being unique, one of his own thoughts, in a word, is the fate of many people!

The fate of many people and companies has changed because of Fang Zhe, and the fate of many people and companies is still advancing along the historical track. For example, NetDragon, which has a cooperative relationship with Huizhong.

The current NetDragon company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Affected by many unfavorable factors such as the economic crisis, the stock market downturn and the decline in company performance, the stock price of NetDragon, which was listed on the Hong Kong stock market last year, is the same as in the previous world. After falling to just over 2 yuan, the total market value of the entire company is less than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Liu Jiande, the once high-spirited chairman of NetDragon, is now so anxious that he has gray hair. Even though he has been in the business world for more than ten years, even though he is a sophisticated man, no money is no money!

Money is like the blood of a company, like the internal skills of a martial arts master. No matter how many routines and tricks he masters, he is not a martial arts master without internal skills!

After losing money for more than half a year, Liu Jiande finally couldn't sit still, hoping that the company's performance would improve or the stockholders would lose their heads to buy their stocks. It would be better to expect him to borrow some money from the circle of friends to survive this difficult winter.

In the previous life, NetDragon also encountered the same crisis at this time. In order to keep the company alive, NetDragon did not hesitate to introduce 360 ​​funds and cooperate with 360 to provide application distribution assistants.

As a result, 360 withdrew and withdrew soon afterwards. The news that came out online was that Liu Jiande and Mr. Zhou were both people with strong desires to control, and they had disagreements. Some NetDragon employees complained that 360 was a weasel giving New Year greetings to the chicken. After reaching a lot of the source code of 91 assistants, I withdrew, and finally started my own 360 assistant.

In the previous life, Liu Jiande and NetDragon, when their game performance did not improve, put Bao on mobile Internet products such as 91 Assistant and Android Net. At that time, the concept of mobile Internet was hot in China, and the data of 91 Assistant was also hot. The performance is very good, so it is very optimistic and expected by Liu Jiande.

Later, the situation was indeed as expected. A few years later, anxious Baidu bought a series of 91 wireless products including 91 assistants at a price of 1.9 billion U.S. dollars. This shocked the entire domestic Internet industry and also made NetDragon and Liu Jiande. Fame!

However, when Fang Zhe, the rebirth, intercepted Hu and bought Assistant 91 in advance, NetDragon and Liu Jiande were doomed, and there would be no chance of a comeback like the previous life.

Because of this, NetDragon and Liu Jiande in this life are even more anxious. Seeing that the company is almost unable to survive, Liu Jiande can only look for investment in relationships. However, NetDragon is already a listed company, and the performance is not good. , Venture capital or something, no fund can see NetDragon, Liu Jiande can only focus on NetDragon, the company or person that has some relationship with him.

Fang Zhe and Huizhong are Liu Jiande’s third goal. The first two goals are a company that has very close business dealings with NetDragon, and the other is a company owner who has a good personal relationship with him.

Unfortunately, when you are frustrated, you only know who your true friends are. When NetDragon has a good performance, these companies and friends who have a good relationship with him, it is only a sentence to borrow money.

Now that NetDragon's performance is not good, everyone has more concerns. The company is afraid that NetDragon will not be able to repay the money and it will become a bad debt. Friends are afraid that Liu Jiande will not be able to repay the money. The loaned money will be lost. As for NetDragon’s fixed assets, It has long been targeted by banks with loans.

At this time, Liu Jiande discovered that he was shrewd in his past life and always wanted to take advantage of others, but in the end he did not make half a sincere friend. In desperation, Liu Jiande had to use the last solution, selling shares for money!

Although NetDragon’s shares fell to a little over 2 yuan, there was still a price. When the Internet bubble in 2000, companies like NetEase Sina, their stock prices fell even worse than this, but in the end, these companies did not slow down. Is the energy coming?

Liu Jiande firmly believes that as long as he can turn around to tide over the difficulties, NetDragon will surely have a comeback and another glorious day. As for what it depends on to recreate glories, it is after borrowing money!

On December 13, Liu Jiande and his cousin Liu Lu, who is the CEO of NetDragon, rushed to Yanjing by plane. They went to Yanjing this time to find a strong investor or company to sell shares in exchange for money to alleviate their urgent needs, including Well-known companies such as Huizhong, Baidu, 360, and Perfect World are all within their consideration.

The reason why Liu Jiande ranked Huizhong as the first goal to go to Yanjing is because Huizhong currently has a cooperative relationship with NetDragon. Huizhong is adapted from the web game version of NetDragon’s terminal game IP "Magic Domain" and has entered After the closed beta phase, it will be online in at most two months.

The terminal game IP masterpiece "Panlong" jointly developed by the two companies, the current research and development progress has exceeded one-half, and it is expected that next summer, it should be able to enter the packaging and testing stage.

It is also because the investment in the research and development of these two games has dragged down NetDragon’s declining financial performance. Now that NetDragon and Liu Jiande are going to give up their investment, he is absolutely unwilling to let NetDragon and Liu Jiande give up when the "Devil" web game is about to be harvested of.

Because according to the cooperation agreement between NetDragon and Huizhong, if one party’s R&D investment before the game goes live does not meet the contractual agreement, the other party has the right to double the proportion of the investment to be invested. In other words, NetDragon is now If the capital investment for these two games is cut off, the proportion of the share allocated in the future may be so small that even the cost cannot be recovered.

Liu Jiande felt more and more that the young boss of Huizhong might have expected NetDragon to have today's crisis. This was the beginning of the acquisition of 91 assistants and step by step digging for himself.

It’s just that these thoughts are also turning in Liu Jiande’s heart. Now he dare not to ask Fang Zhe these things face to face, let alone say that he and NetDragon want him now, just talk about the status of Fang Zhe and Huizhong today. , It's not that he can arrange it casually.

In the middle of the night on December 13, Liu Jiande and Liu Lu rushed to Yanjing. After staying anxiously for the night in the hotel where they were staying, early the next morning, they rushed to the time they had agreed with Fang Zhe’s secretary Li Wen. Huizhong Company.

At 9:13 in the morning, Fang Zhe, who had just arrived from the underground garage, was informed by Secretary Li Wen that NetDragon Chairman Liu Jiande and CEO Liu Lu had been waiting in the VIP guest room on the 5th floor for a long time.

Fang Zhe looked at Li Wen with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, you just pretend that I haven't come, wait until 10 o'clock to see them, and first bring me the documents that need to be processed by me to the office!"
