Top of the Great Era

Chapter 255

"Mr. Liu, it seems that now is not the time to talk about profit?" Zhou Buqi said the biggest pain point of Dongfang Weidian's team at the moment, "This time, the entire anti-software industry is united to encircle Dongfang Weidian, don't you want to take revenge? ? We can't use such despicable means to retaliate like Rising, but we can beat them upright!"

"For free?"

"Can't you?"

"I'm afraid that if we can't last that long, Dongfang Weidian will go bankrupt."

Liu Yu expressed the biggest confusion in his heart.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Mr. Liu, I just said, didn't you hear? After the acquisition is completed, Ziwei Star will inject capital into Dongfang Microdian. This is not a problem at all."

"But this is not a long-term solution after all." Liu Yu shook his head, a little stubborn, "Even if we rely on the free model and seize the market of Rising and Jinshan within two or three years, so what? We can't always rely on the parent company to support it? Without income, it is not a long-term solution after all.”

Zhou Buqi slapped his forehead, very speechless.

There is really no Internet thinking at all.

In the current genuine antivirus software market, there are only about 500 million users.

There are more than 1 million netizens nationwide!
This shows that the vast majority of netizens do not have the habit of paying for antivirus software, either using pirated software, or running bare metal...

This is a huge untapped market.

Whoever snatches it first will be able to control the computer terminals of netizens across the country!
Thousand Oaks Interactive relies on rogue software bundled and forcibly installed on the user's computer, which only accounts for 30% of the installed capacity.

After all, rogue software is difficult to be elegant, and it is difficult to become a national-level product.

If there is a genuine free anti-virus software, it is not difficult for the installed capacity to exceed 90% within one or two years.

With traffic.

Are you still worried about realizing it?
Of course, Zhou Buqi would not say these words clearly.

Anyway, Daodao has been drawn now.

Hand over the company, and then everyone will go shirtless and work recklessly.

They don't want to make money, they just want to grab the jobs of their peers.

Revenge Snow Hate!

In fact, at this time, the minds of the vice presidents have been shaken.They can't see any hope of free antivirus, and the greatest value may be that they can quickly seize the market within two or three years of the first launch.

As for later...

Probably can't escape bankruptcy liquidation.

Even if some shares are retained, it is impossible to pay dividends, and maybe joint and several liabilities will be pursued in the future...

Instead of this, it is better to sell all the shares.

Only Liu Yu, who holds 80% of the company's shares, is still reluctant.

This is his own son, so it is somewhat uncomfortable to sell it like this.

Next, Ji Zian came out again, kindly persuading him.

A negotiation lasted for two hours.

Finally an agreement was reached.

Ziweixing Technology invested 2000 million yuan to acquire all the shares held by Liu Yu and other six Dongfang Micropoint shareholders.

At the same time, Dongfang Weidian Information Company will be renamed Dongfang Weidian Technology Security Co., Ltd. Ji Zian will serve as the legal person, chairman and general manager, and Liu Yu will serve as the chief technology officer.

Not only that, Dongfang Micropoint will also sign a three-year labor contract with these people, requiring them not to leave within three years, otherwise all funds, wages, and bonus income from this equity acquisition will be returned.

This ensures that the new company will not lose its talents and can develop further stably.

The name of Micropoint Antivirus is preserved, and the patent right belongs to the company.

……

The acquisition intention is reached, and a lawyer is asked to draw up the contract.

Then clear up the relationship, go to the police to eliminate the case, let Dongfang Weidian become an innocent company again, and then go to the industry and commerce to change the legal person and shareholders.

Within a week, sure.

After leaving Dongfang Weidian, Ji Zian was puzzled by the negotiation method this time, and asked, "Boss Zhou, is it appropriate for us to buy all the shares?"

"what happened?"

"They don't have any shares in their hands. Do they still have a sense of belonging to the company?"

"So you have to sign a labor contract for three years, and you are not allowed to change jobs."

Ji Zian still didn't understand, "This is not a solution after all. What if the contract expires in three years? They are all experts in the industry. It's unrealistic for them to work for us without any shares."

Zhou Buqi smiled coldly, "You are right!"

"Ok?"

Ji Zian opened his eyes wide.

Zhou Buqi narrowed his eyes, and said rather coldly: "After three years, even if they don't leave, one of these people counts as one, and I will fire them all!"

"what?"

Ji Zi'an turned pale with shock.

Fire all?
Zhou Buqi said: "It's true that these bosses are experts in the industry, but they are good at technology, they don't understand the Internet at all, and they have long been out of the era. Let them work as technicians in the technology department to do research and development, that's okay. .Letting them stay in the management post is to mislead the younger generation.”

"Everyone is fired... Will this cause turmoil?"

"Expelling a few executives will cause turmoil? In three years, you can't master the company? Can't you accept their technological heritage? Promote more young people with ideas to management positions, and let Wu Hanqing take the lead in research and development. "

Ji Zi'an took a deep breath, and slowly digested Zhou Buqi's cruel thoughts.

Just when he was silent, Zhou Buqi spoke again and said: "Actually, during the negotiation just now, if they insisted on retaining part of the shares, I would definitely give in. I even prepared 20% of the shares for their team But it is a pity that they have lost their faith and are mercenary. Such people cannot be kept."

"Probably lack of confidence in the free model." Ji Zian sighed.

Zhou Buqi sneered: "If employees lack confidence in their company, then what's the point of working? Isn't that a waste of life? Especially executives! Even executives can't firmly believe that what they do is correct Yeah, how to infect everyone? How to assume a leadership role?"

After a pause, he continued: "Zian, remember, when employing people in the future, you must grasp a principle. Employees who want money but not shares, no matter how good they are, must be carefully promoted; They are true ones who have full confidence in the company and are willing to grow up with the company, so we should focus on cultivating them.”

Ji Zian's eyes lit up: "Is there going to be an option incentive?"

Zhou Buqi shook his head, sighed and said, "Our current company structure is still relatively chaotic, and we need professional senior financial talents to sort it out. We don't have such people here."

Ji Zi'an said, "Do you want to find PricewaterhouseCoopers?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Forget it, we should keep a low profile now. Once the option incentives are actually exercised, it will be tantamount to half-disclosing our family background. Anyway, most of our team are college students, so we don't need this."

"When will it be done?"

"Let's talk about it in the A round, and solve it all at once."

Option incentives, without affecting the normal operation and cohesion of the company, of course, the later the implementation, the better.

Usually only giant Internet companies do this.

Small companies don't like this.

After leaving Dongfang Weidian, Zhou Buqi went to Youyou.com.

Zhang Yiming is very dissatisfied with Microsoft.

Zhou Buqi was surprised, "Isn't MSN working well with us?"

The cooperation with MSN has only been launched for more than a month, and it has already brought more than 1200 million new users to Friends.com.

This prompted Friends.com to exceed 2000 million users in a very short period of time.

It has become a well-known emerging website.

Zhang Yiming sighed, "The sincerity of MSN is quite strong, and it has an immediate effect. However, the total number of MSN users is less than 5000 million, and the number of active users is only [-] to [-] million."

"You mean saturated?"

"It's not saturated, it's almost there, the growth rate in the future is limited, and..."

At this point, Zhang Yiming paused, mocking a bit, "The American giants are nothing special, maybe you don't know it yet? Tencent has scared Microsoft to the ground."

Zhou Buqi laughed, "Is that an exaggeration?"

Zhang Yiming said: "Basically, what kind of anti-QQ alliance is coveted by Microsoft? In the end, it uses the remaining tricks played by QQ. It is nothing more than cooperating with China Telecom to provide MSN users with a 10 yuan monthly SMS service. Don't think about it. What is MSN’s user base? It’s the white-collar class! In that class, who cares about the text message fee of ten or twenty yuan? Even if they care, who has time to send text messages? Isn’t it good to make a phone call?”

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "It's not surprising. President Chen of Microsoft China is from telecommunications, and he is good at this direction."

"Well, anyway, Tencent's second quarter financial report came out. It's too scary to talk about the data instead of the revenue. QQ has 4.4 million registered accounts, and the monthly active accounts exceed 1.7 million. Moreover, with Tencent and Google Cooperation, and the acquisition of Foxmail, once the counterattack horn sounded, I felt that Microsoft had no power to parry. After the integration of QQ mailbox and Foxmail, the use effect has been greatly improved. Backed by the huge user resources of QQ, the number of users has surpassed that of Microsoft. hotmail."

Zhang Yiming's words were indeed scary enough, and there was an unconcealable sadness on his face.

At this moment, he really felt the strength of Penguin Company.

Zhou Buqi said before that the ultimate enemy of Youyou.com is Tencent, but he still doesn't quite understand it.

It's only now apparent.

Under the super drainage of super products like QQ, Tencent can really create a hot product in a very short period of time like a magic trick.

He really didn't expect that QQ mailbox would be built overnight.

Can Microsoft not sit on pins and needles?
Zhou Buqi is relatively calm.

He already knew.

Giant companies like Ali and Tencent, which will each occupy half of China's Internet in the future, must have their own uniqueness.

"No matter what, Microsoft has a strong family background and can always last for a year or two. Let's hide under Microsoft's wings and develop our strength quickly." Zhou Buqi was calm and calm, "How is the cooperation with Baidu? "

"It's almost the same, 36 yuan per month, and 400 million yuan per year if you sign a long-term contract."

"400 million? Not much."

Zhou Buqi smiled, quite satisfied with the result.

Now Baidu is not the only one.There are dozens of search companies in China, and there are two international giants, Microsoft and Google, fighting with each other.

Therefore, the cost of the PPC that Baidu asks for is not high.

For example, Friends.com has bought more than a dozen keywords such as "friends", "making friends", "making friends", "finding friends", "talking about friends", "classmates", "finding classmates", "classmates" and so on. The first column of search... After a few years, a keyword will cost 100 million yuan.

This is a good thing to take advantage of.

Sign for a few more years.
