After listening to Mu Chenhao's words, Li Weimin became even more confused. He asked in a trembling voice, "Since the operation has been losing money for so long, why can the market value continue to rise so much?"
"This is the charm of capital." Mu Chenhao smiled mysteriously.
The charm of capital, Li Weimin kept chewing on Mu Chenhao's words in his heart.
He felt as if a door to a new world had been opened by Mu Chenhao, and he was very excited, but Mu Chenhao poured cold water on him, "However, if the Information News wants to successfully build a portal website, it is very difficult. Difficult, at least at this stage it’s unlikely.”
Li Weimin blurted out, "Why is this?" Mu Chenhao shook his head regretfully: "First of all, the transformation will go through a difficult period, and the Information News may not be able to persist. Secondly, the current decision-making mechanism of the Information News is too slow, involving To make any important decision, ten days and a half are considered fast. In print media, this kind of decision-making mechanism is not available.
What a problem, but if you are in the Internet industry, haha..."
Li Weimin said unconvinced, "Our information newspaper currently has a very short decision-making cycle among all print media, and the leaders above are relatively decentralized. Take Mr. Zhang Yao's financing, it only took us more than half a month. After completing the decision, is this speed still slow? "
Mu Chenhao looked at Li Weimin with pity, "If the Information News treats the Internet wave with this concept, I really have to doubt whether Mr. Zhang Yao's investment can recover the cost." Before Li Weimin could refute, Mu Chenhao said Asked again, "For example, you suddenly find that your competitor has launched a new column. This column is something you have never seen before, but it is very attractive to users. At this time, the management of the Information News Decisions need to be made based on competitors
Make adjustments on your own to changes, but adjustments involve capital investment. How long do you think it will take to make a decision based on the current information reporting system? "
Li Weimin mused, "If the capital investment is not large, we need to report it to the Association for Science and Technology. The Association for Science and Technology will hold a meeting and negotiate with the Shancheng Propaganda Department. After reaching a conclusion, it will be reported to the leaders of both sides for approval. If it is quick, it will take about half a month. If it is slow, it will take about half a month." It will take about a month.”
Mu Chenhao suddenly laughed, "Do you know how long Xinlang.com's decision-making cycle is for this type of business process?"
Seeing Li Weimin shaking his head stupidly, Mu Chenhao immediately raised a finger.
Li Weimin hesitated and said, "A week?"
Mu Chenhao spit out two words from between his teeth, "One day!"
Li Weimin opened his mouth in shock, "This is impossible!" Mu Chenhao spread his hands, "This is a fact. The world of the Internet is so cruel. Once you can't keep up with your opponent, you will be strangled quickly. So. In the Internet industry, efficiency is the most important thing. In the future, the decision-making cycle in competition will be measured in hours and minutes.
computational. Do you think it is possible with the current system of information newspapers? "
At this point, Li Weimin was finally speechless.
After a moment, Mu Chenhao's voice came again, "Actually, there is no solution."
Mu Chenhao motioned to Xia Qingkong next to him with his eyes. Xia Qingkong immediately walked to the broadcast room and reached out to press the stop button of the equipment. Li Weimin was about to stop him when he saw Mu Chenhao showing a smile, like a devil's temptation. "If the current management of the Information News can transfer 5% of its shares to me, then I will be able to gain control and have the decision-making power of the entire company. By then, we will delegate most of the decision-making power to the management, and at the same time The management will be promised far more than 5% options.
Some problems have been solved. "
Li Weimin was shocked and couldn't believe his ears.
Looking at the directing room that had stopped working, Li Weimin said solemnly, "Mr. Mu, you are asking me to betray the Information News!"
Mu Chenhao shrugged, "On the contrary, I just want you to be loyal to capital."
Li Weimin smiled bitterly and said, "But that's not the same thing? As the management of the Information Newspaper and the Association for Science and Technology, if I turn my gun and face my old employer, what is it if it's not betrayal?"
Mu Chenhao smiled nonchalantly and said, "As a professional manager, the greatest professional ethics is to be responsible to shareholders, and I will soon become the largest shareholder, with the Propaganda Department accounting for 20% of the shares, and the Association for Science and Technology 26%, I think it’s self-evident who the management should be responsible for.”
Seeing that Li Weimin was still silent, Mu Chenhao smiled mysteriously and said, "Actually, I am giving the management of the Information News a chance."
"What opportunity?" Li Weimin asked.
"You know, even if I don't have the 5% equity of the management, it's not that difficult for me to get a controlling stake. After all, the Science and Technology Association and the Propaganda Department are not monolithic, and it was difficult to talk about it before, but once I enter, It may not be difficult to talk about it, after all, you can talk about relationships without talking about business!”
It was only now that Li Weimin realized that he had underestimated the young man in front of him again and again. He originally had an idea in his mind that Mu Chenhao was able to be where he is today because of luck. If it were him, Mu Chen would have Hao's circumstances may not be worse than what he did.
But now it seems that Mu Chenhao's understanding of capital may not be comparable to even ten of his own.
Li Weimin is not that kind of fool who is ignorant of the world. He already understands the meaning of Mu Chenhao's words.
It has to be said that Mu Chenhao’s understanding of the current economy and general environment, as well as his coping strategies, are very down-to-earth. If Zhang Yao had adopted Mu Chenhao’s negotiation methods before, it is estimated that the Association for Science and Technology and the Propaganda Department would have Defeated by each one.
Mu Chenhao looked at the hesitant Li Weimin, "If you can persuade the management to agree to transfer 5% of the equity to me, I promise to give you 1% of the options." Li Weimin suddenly raised his head, Mu Chen Hao said leisurely and contentedly, "Even if our market value is only one-tenth of Xinlang's by then, even if there are more investments to dilute the shares in the future, after the listing, you will still be able to get at least 30 to 40 million. Think about it. , this is how many times your current salary
"
Hearing this, Li Weimin's eyes turned red, "How can you be sure that I can go public? If I promise you, what's the difference between it and a big gamble?"
Mu Chenhao smiled and said, "Yes, this is indeed a big gamble, but I am an investor, not a speculator. I must try to reduce the risk of every penny. I have rich experience in listing operations. If I don't have certain experience, Sure, why would you want an investment information report?" Seeing that Li Weimin was still hesitant, Mu Chenhao did not force him, but smiled and said, "Well, you go back and think about it first, and you can also discuss it with the management. After all, it is For big things, I’m not afraid of the news leaking. The most I can do is find another team to take care of it. Even if the Information Press also competes with me, with the response speed I just mentioned, the Information Press can’t win!”
