NOVEL NEXT Chapter 22
In the south, Pengcheng.
Penguin Group was also in a meeting, and the chairman was Xiao Ma Ge.
The topic was about Oasis Capital taking over Vivendi’s stake in Activision Blizzard.
However, compared to Wangyi’s worries, Penguin was beaming with joy, because they saw an opportunity to cut off Wangyi and become the agent of World of Warcraft.
“Who is going to the United States to meet Su Chengyang?”
Xiao Ma asked.
At this time, they didn’t know that Su Chengyang had returned to China.
They thought that Su Chengyang was in the United States.
After all, the news had just been released.
Xiao Ma wanted to go there in person to meet the rising star.
But he is not good at speaking and is not good at negotiating with people.
If you ask him to talk about the company’s grand strategy and technical matters, he is very talkative, but when it comes to external communication, he is introverted and sometimes speaks too directly, which backfires.
Moreover, for such things as arranging the front, it is better to send someone to talk first. When the two sides have almost finished talking, he can come out to talk. This way, he can avoid making a special trip and being directly rejected.
That would be embarrassing.
“If no one goes, then I will go!”
“It’s just right, to meet this legendary figure.”
Chen Yidan raised his glasses and said with a smile.
Xiao Ma looked over and saw that it was Chen Yidan, nodded, and said with a smile:”Okay, I’ll feel relieved if you go over.”
“As long as the conditions are not too harsh, I can agree to it.”
“Um~~”
Chen Yidan put away the smile on his face and nodded solemnly.
“Okay, meeting adjourned!”
“Yidan, come to my office.”
Xiao Ma Ge stood up and said.
Chen Yidan picked up the documents in front of him and followed him out.
At the same time, similar scenes happened in many domestic game companies, such as Perfect World, Shanda, Giant and many other game companies also made changes.
Few people are willing to give up the fat piece of meat of World of Warcraft….
The next day.
It was drizzling.
It was raining continuously.
Kairun Hotel.
Seeing Su Chengyang getting out of a Mercedes-Benz S600, Lin Haishen, who had arrived in advance, hurried to greet him.
“Chairman”
“Um~~”
Su Chengyang gently patted his wrinkled clothes and glanced casually at the hotel lobby.
“Which floor?”
“Seventh Floor”
“Let’s go in and take a look.”
“Chairman, please.”
Su Chengyang took the lead and walked towards the hotel lobby. Lin Haishen followed behind him. Behind him was a tall, fashionable young woman holding a briefcase, who seemed to be a secretary.
Liao Haidong also followed behind.
Under the guidance of the hotel waiter, they soon arrived at the multi-functional conference room on the seventh floor.
Lin Haishen handed the invitation to the etiquette staff.
“Oasis Capital, Mr. Lin Haishen is here.”
After reading it, just as the etiquette staff signaled Lin Haishen to come in,
Lin Haishen stepped aside to make room.
He respectfully gestured to Su Chengyang.
Su Chengyang smiled slightly and walked in.
At this time, there were already seven or eight people sitting in the conference room.
They could naturally hear the etiquette staff calling out their names.
Suddenly, the conference room became a hot topic.
Before this, although Oasis Capital was doing well abroad, few people in China knew about it. It was not until yesterday’s news report that people in China knew about Oasis Capital.
“Mr. Xu, why did you invite Oasis Capital to Jingdong’s financing this time?”
Liang Botao looked at the elegant young woman in her thirties beside him.
The woman was none other than Xu Xin, the founder of Today Capital.
Xu Xin shook his head and smiled bitterly:”Mr. Liang, I don’t know about this matter either.”
“oh?”
“Mr. Xu doesn’t know either?”
Liang Botao was a little surprised.
Xu Xin is different from them.
He invested in Jingdong Company as early as August last year.
Logically speaking, he should know which capital was involved in the financing. Now Xu Xin doesn’t know, so it can only be said that Daqiangzi invited him privately.
Photographed by the reputation of Oasis Capital.
The investment institutions present also sat up straight.
Although Today Capital and other participating venture capital companies seem to be high and mighty in China, they are insignificant in the world.
Take Today Capital for example, the scale of funds is only 280 million US dollars.
Most of the invested companies are start-ups with a valuation of less than 100 million US dollars, unlike Oasis Capital, which invested 3.1 billion US dollars to acquire Activision Blizzard.
Simply put, it is the difference between children and adults.
“”Hmm?”
When everyone saw Su Chengyang, who walked in first, his expression was slightly stunned.
Young.
Too young.
Could this be the person in charge of Oasis Capital in Longguo?
But, isn’t this a little too young? Maybe he hasn’t even grown all his hair yet?
Many people were murmured in their hearts.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Su Chengyang nodded slightly, then found a seat and sat down. Seeing this, Lin Haishen pulled out a stool and sat down next to Su Chengyang.
Su Chengyang, who was sitting down, noticed that someone had been looking at him. He couldn’t help but look over and saw that it was a woman with exquisite dress and strong aura. He couldn’t help but be stunned.
Then he thought of something and nodded slightly.
His eyes were retracted. Come back and sit there patiently.
Xu Xin’s eyes moved slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his graceful and slightly wealthy face. He didn’t look at Su Chengyang again.
Su Chengyang looked around the scene.
Not counting him, there were seven groups of people present.
The young woman who just looked at him should be Xu Xin, who is known as the”Queen of Venture Capital” at Today Capital. The other person sitting next to Xu Xin, speaking with a thick Hong Kong accent, should be Liang Botao, a famous banker in Hong Kong.
The two people next to Liang Botao should be from Xiongniu Capital. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Huang Guanqiu.
He should be from the same generation as Liang Botao. Both of them are from Hong Kong and have worked in Bai They worked with Fuqin, and as for these two people, they were probably the ones brought in by Xu Xin.
The rest should be representatives from Sequoia, Tiger Fund and other parties.
But judging from the expressions of the crowd, it is estimated that many people came to watch the show and go through the motions.
After all, the transaction volume of Jingdong Mall (called Jingdong Multimedia before 2008) was only more than 80 million yuan the year before last.
Last year, that is, in 2007, the sales volume was 360 million.
With such a transaction scale, it can be said that it is a small e-commerce company.
Moreover, 3C products face competition from offline rivals, such as Guomei and Suning Electric Appliances. The annual transaction volume of Guomei alone is as high as 100 billion.
Such a big gap has been caused. The main reason is that netizens at that time were still skeptical about buying electrical appliances online, especially expensive home appliances, unlike later when they would buy appliances worth tens of thousands of dollars without blinking an eye.
Simply put, many people are not optimistic about Jingdong’s operating model and future.
At this moment, three more people came in, led by Da Qiangzi.
He was dressed in a suit, his back was straight, and his eyes were bright.
Da Qiangzi walked to the stage, picked up the microphone, and looked around at everyone in the venue. When he saw Su Chengyang, he paused obviously, and a flash of doubt flashed in his eyes, but Su Chengyang saw it.
Su Chengyang raised the corner of his mouth slightly. It is estimated that Da Qiangzi was doubting his identity.
“Welcome everyone to attend the Jingdong Mall Investor Conference. I am the founder Daqiangzi….”
Watching Da Qiangzi speaking on the stage with high spirits, explaining the current situation and future prospects of Jingdong Mall, Su Chengyang discovered that Da Qiangzi was also a powerful figure in terms of eloquence. In the Internet circle, he was probably second only to Jack Ma in Hangzhou.
