Reborn multinational giant

Fang Zhe smiled and nodded. Wu Xiaohui's answer without hesitation proved that he had already thought of "reliance on his own."

At this time, Wu Xiaohui also noticed that he seemed to be too anxious to answer, so Fang Zhe could see through his thoughts directly, but in a blink of an eye, he thought, even if he could see through, he came to himself, isn't it just for this purpose!

"How about it, Mr. Wu, do you have any ideas on going it alone? If so, I might consider supporting you!" Fang Zhexun guided.

Wu Xiaohui said nothing, his mind was full of excitement, struggle, contradiction and hysteria.

Fang Zhe gave him enough time to think. He turned and looked out the window. Qianfan was silhouetted by the Huangpu River. The city of Jianghai is full of vitality and opportunities, as well as cruel reality.

After a long time, Wu Xiaohui took a deep breath and slowly said: "President Fang, I hope you and my conversation today, don't let the third person know!"

Wu Xiaohui's words were a bit rude, but at the moment he couldn't worry about that much. When Fang Zhe nodded, he said again:

"Let's tell you, I actually had the idea to operate the starting point independently, but you also know that starting point was sold to Mr. Chen and Shanda wholly at the beginning. The management team of the starting point and I are just a part-time job. Yes, even if I have this mindset, there is nothing I can do."

Fang Zhe nodded. Wu Xiaohui’s words were quite true. A few years ago, Shanda was hailed as the "Whampoa Military Academy" in the domestic Internet industry. Although it has trained a large number of talents, most of them left one after another. It's that Mr. Chen is too deadly on power and shares, and executives follow him in the path of "money", so it is strange not to go.

"Since you have been thinking about it for a long time, talk about your thoughts." Fang Zhe asked.

Wu Xiaohui nodded, and then confided to Fang Zhe his thoughtful "independence plan" that had been buried in his heart for many years. Wu Xiaohui had almost no reservations, because he knew that even if his "independence plan" thought well and perfect, he could finally Execution and realization depend on whether Fang Zhe can agree with his plan.

Fang Zhe listened very carefully. Although he had the memory of his previous life, he could basically guess the same, but when the person involved was present, Fang Zhe also had a clearer and deeper understanding of many of the key and details.

The more he listened, the more Fang Zhe felt that the conflicts between Wu Xiaohui and the starting point and Shanda were hard to come back. Had it not been for Wu Xiaohui's lack of "assurance" and courage, the conflict between them would have broken out.

It turned out that as early as 2008, Shanda integrated the previously acquired starting point network, Hongxiutianxiang.com, Rongshuxia and other novel websites into Shanda Literature, and airborne foreign professional broker Hou Xiaoqiang as the CEO of Shanda Literature. The seeds of contradiction have been buried. under.

As the saying goes, starting point network has already occupied half of the domestic online literature industry. After the integration of Shanda Literature, more than 70% of the revenue and profits come from starting point network. Logically speaking, Wu Xiaohui, the president of starting point network , It should be a logical "promotion" to the president and CEO of Shanda Literature, but who would have thought that Mr. Chen and Shanda directly airborne an outside leader for him.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Hou Xiaoqiang's parachuting was due to Mr. Chen's intention to check and balance him, Mr. Wu Xiaohui, or that Mr. Chen thought that Mr. Wu could not bear the burden of Shanda Literature. The dissatisfaction and resentment in Wu Xiaohui's heart can naturally be imagined!

Later, Hou Xiaoqiang faithfully implemented Mr. Chen’s “Shanda first” development strategy, which further deepened the contradiction between the two. Whether it was Shanda Literature or its subsidiary starting point network, the first priority in formulating a development strategy was It is to consider Shanda first.

Including the starting point of the account system accessing Shanda’s G home, the recharge system, the advertising system giving priority to Shanda resources, etc. Even the copyright of Wu Xiaohui’s most valued novels should also be given priority to Shanda’s internal game adaptation rather than the higher bid Huizhong, etc. External partners.

In addition, Shanda Literature is one of the bottom of the various business modules of Shanda. The parent company does not consider investing resources in Shanda Literature and its novel websites. It also takes most of the profits and constantly squeezes the starting point. And Shanda Literature.

Wu Xiaohui’s dissatisfaction with Hou Xiaoqiang and Shanda has long been backlogged for a long time. If it weren’t for the market pie drawn by Mr. Chen and he himself did not have external resources and "assuming", I am afraid that he would have led the team away from Shanda!

And now, Fang Zhe's meeting with Wu Xiaohui began to slowly give him "empowerment", and his inner grudges and ambitions began to be released.

After listening to Wu Xiaohui's "independent plan", Fang Zhe thought about it. No wonder Mr. Chen didn't let Wu Xiaohui serve as the CEO of Shanda Literature. His courage, or pattern and ambition, is still a bit small!

In Wu Xiaohui’s "independent plan", he only wanted to use the power of external funds or venture capital to repurchase the starting point network from Mr. Chen and Shanda. In return, the fund or venture capital that helped him will also get a starting point. Part of the shares, and he and the starting point's management team will also get a part of the equity in the process, and continue to serve as the management team of starting point, planning to go public to bring returns to both parties.

Tsk, at first glance, this plan is not bad, but in Fang Zhe’s eyes, this action is really a bit stingy. Since you want to be independent, why not help the entire Shanda Literature and a large number of literary websites that have been squeezed by Shanda to separate Where is the sea of ​​bitterness?

Of course, it does not rule out that in Wu Xiaohui's view, the entire Shanda literature, except for the starting point, is rubbish and worthless!

Fang Zhe didn't know what Wu Xiaohui thought, but Fang Zhe knew that Shanda Chen always thought so!

I remember that before Wu Xiaohui left Shanda, he also received support from a private equity fund. At that time, Wu Xiaohui went to Mr. Chen to talk about starting point independence. Mr. Chen said to him: "Whether you buy Qidian or Shanda Literature, low No discussion at 800 million US dollars!"

Wu Xiaohui, who can only afford less than 500 million US dollars, was yelled at by President Chen.

From another point of view, this also shows that the starting point network plays a pivotal role in the entire Shanda literature. If the starting point network is lost, Shanda Literature will be nothing.

Fang Zhe felt that it was necessary to fight Wu Xiaohui, support his ambitions, and enhance his structure and vision. After the previous life, Wu Xiaohui could set up the Reading Group that integrates China's online literature industry with the help of Tencent. It can be seen that his ability is still very strong. The reason why he does not have this ambition and structure now is because he has not even become the top leader of Shanda Literature, let alone let him deploy the network literature industry in the country and the world.

"Mr. Wu, your plan sounds very good, but I would like to hear more from you, what do you think about the development of the domestic online literature industry in the next few years?"

Wu Xiaohui was taken aback for a moment. He suddenly felt a feeling in his heart. It seemed that in the eyes of Mr. Fang, the grievances between him and Shanda, the starting independence plan, etc., were just trivial things. In the eyes of these big guys , The smallest unit of the layout, is an industry!
