No one will refuse the high returns brought by investment. When the boss of any industry reaches a certain level, he will be more or less involved in stocks and futures.
The real economy is gradually not as good as before. The bosses who are accustomed to being the masters are inevitably a little disappointed. They have also begun to take new directions in the utilization and planning of assets. In recent years, investing in the Internet has gradually become a popular direction. .
Xiao Ma's own ambition may not be that big. The people and capital around him are constantly pushing him to move forward in big steps. He doesn't think there is anything wrong with this, nor is it a desperate move. Play with this thing.
Li Hui, for example, is quite obsessed with the stock market now, and he seems to want to open a second battlefield to replace the main battlefield.
As for Xiao Ma, he knows exactly what he wants, so if Wei Tao doesn't have a proposal that interests him, he won't reach any agreement with him, especially in the League of Legends, which he is very optimistic about. 'On the project.
Wei Tao is not the kind of person who digs holes for others. If he wants to be a wealthy and idle man, have a successful career and a full social status, a good partner is definitely indispensable. The business partners who have cooperated with him so far can We parted ways, but no one would say anything wrong about him, which is indeed quite interesting. When it comes to losing money or risky things, I take the lead, and when we make money, we all enjoy delicious food and drink together. Occasionally, when there is a problem of uneven distribution, He will also take the initiative to give in and let himself suffer a little loss.
With such a person's reputation, people who don't understand him will say that he is stupid and rich, but people who know his stuff have no preset deep defenses or obstacles in terms of psychological barriers to cooperate with him.
I talked with Xiao Ma for a few days, and his friends and team members also participated respectively. Everyone agreed on the future investment environment. The general direction was established, and the Internet was the main battlefield. The consensus is that Wei Tao's willingness to spend billions to invest is indeed enough to qualify him to become a 'friend' around Xiao Ma.
Everyone is rowing and sailing the big boat, and they all understand the advantages of collective strength, and Mr. Wei's reputation is also well-known in the circle. Everyone has no intention of being tied together, but can echo each other when necessary, and can advance and retreat together.
The so-called cooperation has no priority, it is simply a wish. There is no need for any agreement. At their level, what they say verbally has corresponding effect, and they will not easily break their verbal promises.
The arrival of Wei Tao also gave Ma Ge more confidence in investment. The projects he was optimistic about were fully recognized by Wei Tao, which also caused his impression of Wei Tao to continue to change.
"Nonsense, can you deny it? I'll give you my opinion based on your successful cases."
They also talked about Xiaomi. The arrival of the smartphone era has already begun. The information level of these people is enough to give them a more unique perspective than ordinary people. They are also super talents. It is difficult to see five steps, but three steps. The strength of Bu is generally available.
Xiaomi was very interested in starting a new round of financing soon, but there was a lack of a bridge between the two parties. He also tactfully expressed his hope that Wei Tao could be the bridge.
"I save the game. I don't care about other things. You can talk about it among yourselves. We are all friends. I can't bear this responsibility if there are more or less people in the future."
I still tell the truth with a clear attitude. I want to become long-term friends with you. Some things, a sense of boundaries and distance, are necessary and are the basis for maintaining our relationship.
Rebus is not short of investment, and he also has connections with big investment banks outside, but this does not prevent him from talking more and being involved in this big market. There will inevitably be cooperation of this kind in the future, and it is very necessary to make arrangements in advance. , if cooperation fails at one time, at their level, there is a high probability of hostility. On the contrary, forming a good relationship is the wise choice.
Wei Tao simply did not participate in the game over there. Both parties invited him, but he did not go. Instead, he became very serious and went with Guan Jinyue to negotiate with the people under Penguin about whether the two parties could play the agency game. In-depth cooperation has also made some progress.
Wei Tao was sitting in the corner holding a tea cup. Although others kept peeking at him, he himself did not say a word. He watched and listened calmly, and the expression between his brows did not change at all, making it impossible to judge. express his true inner thoughts.
Guan Jinyue seems to have reached the point where she should take a stand. Negotiations can be complicated, but when it comes to really taking a stand, some things don't allow her to hesitate at all, and her style is not like that.
No matter what Wei Tao's side is, her idea is to implement it. After talking for a while, they have almost reached a consensus. There are still some details and things that the other party cannot give in to, and she does not plan to go back. It's a waste of time.
After clearing his throat, he sat upright in his chair, looked around, and made a gesture of wanting to make the final decision directly. His eyes were full of perseverance: "The copyright of the designated live broadcast platform, the cooperation between the two parties to hold the competition." Intention, please don’t talk about these two things anymore. If you can accept it now, let’s continue talking. Let’s stop here today.”
Guan Jinyue's retreat has reached her bottom line. It's not that she doesn't know negotiation skills. These days, many things have been made clear through back and forth testing. That's why she is like this today, confident that she will make the final decision. After all, the conditions she proposed are It was acceptable to both parties, and there was no reason to refuse. If both parties still couldn't defeat such a simple cooperation, then in her opinion, there was little point in continuing.
It's not that we can't cooperate, but it's bound to make the other party's lion speak loudly, so there is no point in continuing to cooperate. She is optimistic about the future of this game, but she is not like Wei Tao who knows its final achievements, so in her heart The expected value is far less high than Wei Tao.
Guan Jinyue's main purpose is to run Maoya, and she has an exclusive rightfully so. As for the competition, that is the bait she throws out. If the negotiation has to take a step back in the end, this is what she will give up.
I can live broadcast, I can build a website, I can recruit more anchors, and attract more tourists. This is the fundamental purpose of cooperation.
Wei Tao never interfered. It would be better if he could make money by playing games. If he couldn't, it wouldn't make him unwilling. Now that he is in the circle of friends of Xiao Ma and Rebus, he has already It made him very satisfied with himself.
After a few years, we have established an Anshun Group, so we should be satisfied.
In reality, Anshun Group is just a small starting point. It has not planned the development of Anshun Group for a long time, and it does not plan to expand. It will return to a commercial and residential project in about two years to consolidate the existing industrial foundation. , completely consolidating the weak foundation that Anshun Group has always been criticized for.
According to most people's understanding, wealth freedom has long been achieved. Wei Tao once thought about how high he must reach to be considered wealth freedom. This standard has been soaring. Until now, he still has the ambition he should have, but his mentality is much calmer.
Xiaomi successfully received angel investment.
The same goes for Ele.me.
Meituan also received a share of angel investment that far exceeded its ideal share.
Even if you can't participate in the subsequent financing, and your shares are diluted along the way, you can still get heart-pounding profits in the end. No matter how rich you are, you will still get heart-pounding figures.
Among the goals recorded in the small notebook before, Zhang Yiming's project was the only one left. It was a big goal, but it was no longer a necessary goal.
With the addition of MiHoYo, the value in the next ten years, even if he invests several hundred million now, and even if the industry is single in the future, this valuation will be enough to make him a hundred times a thousand times if he casually lets go.
Buddha.
Only now is Wei Tao truly aware of what Buddhism is.
This time when I came to meet Brother Xiao Ma, I felt a little excited in my heart, but I didn't feel much after seeing him. He was not so utilitarian in the subsequent negotiations, and it didn't matter whether he succeeded or not.
Feeling like this, he left a very special impression and sense to Xiao Ma and others.
Rebus left. Wei Tao was not interested at all in the outcome of their discussion, let alone inquired.
"Mr. Ma, I've been here to play for a few days. I still have the same attitude, straight to the point..."
Brother Xiao Ma interrupted Wei Tao for the first time. Once the other party said something but he couldn't do it, it would be bad. This is completely opposite to the effect of negotiating who will show his trump card first. In his heart, Brother Xiao Ma I am also willing to have more contact with Wei Tao, instead of just negotiating a business deal.
"Regarding all live broadcast permissions and related matters, giving it to Maoya is obviously not conducive to the promotion of the game. Let's do this, Mr. Wei, if you are interested, everyone can play together, 20% of the dividend cooperation share without decision-making power, Maoya The cooperation between Ya and Penguin will not only be on one game, but they can cooperate in many aspects in the future."
Raising his glass, Wei Tao smiled slightly and clinked his glass with Brother Ma: "Hurry up and clink your glasses, otherwise I'm afraid you'll regret it later."
The words he said after getting down to business were naturally not meant to be taken seriously, and were mainly spoken in a relaxed manner, and Xiao Ma also laughed accordingly.
Cooperation also means sharing risks. As long as our absolute control is not affected and a small share is given, even if we really lose money in the long run, Xiao Ma and the team around him will not feel sad and regret it. Without this pattern, we would not be able to survive now.
As for setting a precedent, no one cares about it. Isn't there something like the first time for everything? The cooperation with Wei Tao is not so much a business cooperation as a cooperation between people.
The future Internet industry has reached a stage where it is difficult to succeed alone. More and more capital bosses are entering the market. Large investment banks, relying on their sufficient capital chains, are beginning to demand more and more. They are no longer the kind of people I used to be. It’s just an investment, just a stage where you’re on the board of directors.
Brother Xiao Ma is also interested in making some other changes. Compared with the possible goal, giving up part of his interests and cooperating with Wei Tao seems insignificant.
Knowing that Wei Tao would not refuse the lack of decision-making power, I did not expect him to be so decisive. Brother Ma is not so stupid as to think that someone is really showing his feelings when he toasts with a cup directly, and he can't wait to feel that he has taken advantage of him.
"Mr. Wei is indeed as good at judgment and resolute as the outside world reports. Being able to make judgments so quickly proves that he has already had expectations in his heart. The expectations of not being greedy will never be greedy or greedy once it is achieved. It seems like some people, who have clearly achieved their expectations, find it too easy, and have greedy thoughts in their hearts, wanting to eat more and occupy more." Brother Xiao Ma explained his true thoughts and good impressions to the people around him. Good looks and feelings are accumulated bit by bit.
The people around him have similar ideas to him. Regardless of whether they agree with Wei Tao as a person, everyone feels comfortable with his style and attitude. They do not resist cooperating more with such people, and they also look forward to the people they meet in the future. , it is best to have this style, so that both parties are comfortable.
………………
"Did Brother Ma say this himself?"
Guan Jinyue was dumbfounded when she got the result. She really didn't expect it. She just wanted to achieve something on the 'front line', but Wei Tao directly took out a 'piece', which really shocked her. She couldn't believe it was so good. Achievements, then all the previous negotiations have become results.
We were obviously talking about a business worth 100,000 yuan. Everyone was struggling to negotiate for a profit of 10,000 yuan. As a result, you directly raised the price of this business to 10 million yuan. Then the details of the previous negotiation...
The sad little eyes were replaced by Wei Tao laughing loudly, hugging the other person, and suddenly said urgently: "Tonight, I need a big one."
Wei Tao left the next day and flew to Yanjing.
Everything was fully negotiated with Guan Jinyue. When the contract was signed, big news in the industry also came out. Xiaomi launched a formal B-round financing. The valuation soared directly to US$1 billion. With US$100 million in financing, major investment institutions officially entered field.
Penguin did not enter, so Rebus told Wei Tao that next time, only heavy capital would be eligible to enter.
The confidence that belongs to Rebus has been fully reflected in Xiaomi. It can be seen that he puts all his focus on Xiaomi. He feels that he holds Wang Zha in his hand and will not easily let others join him. Follow me. One group is guaranteed to win, and admission tickets are not cheap.
Wei Tao understood that this was also telling him that next time, he would have no chance to follow suit, and even if he had, he would not be able to afford it.
Once again ensuring his 20% shareholding ratio, he could feel that even Rebus had lost some of his past friendliness, and the interests were touching. The people next to him looked at Wei Tao without concealing it. Envy, jealousy and hatred.
Xiaomi projects are hot now. Why does this guy only have 20% of the share? Those big investment institutions are not as good as him now. Look at the project that Rebus has been holding on to. Don't give more profits to others. Why? It was Wei Tao who took more and gained more, once again standing on the top of the turbulent waves. This was even more enviable than his previous shareholding in Xiaonei.com.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel room, looking at the night view of Yanjing outside the window, Wei Tao sighed and whispered to himself: "The little friendship with Rebus before has been consumed this time. ."
Immediately, his expression turned slightly ferocious. Through the light and the angle of the floor-to-ceiling windows, he could see a part of himself reflected on the floor-to-ceiling windows: "Made, I am making money in an upright and dignified way. I feel so stupid."
