Chapter 214 Help Lei Jun solve the problem
This time Ren Pingsheng flew directly to Yanjing City, and there are two main things to do.
The first thing is to implement the funds of the "Shunwei Fengkou" fund. This time, Ren Pingsheng invested 10 million yuan in Jingxi Mall, and the subscribed capital was 50 million yuan, accounting for 50%; Lei Jun subscribed capital of 10 million yuan, accounting for 10%; Cai Wensheng subscribed capital of 8 million yuan, accounting for 8%; the brothers of the "Second Class 2" invested 10 million yuan, accounting for 10%; the remaining 22 million yuan was invested by an anonymous investor, accounting for 22%.
This anonymous investor was introduced by Lei Jun, but he insisted on not showing up. Everything was handled by Lei Jun. Although everyone was curious about this person, Lei Jun has always been cautious. Since it was introduced by him, it was definitely reliable, so I won't ask more questions.
However, after the investment matters of Shunwei Fund were settled, Lei Jun took Ren Pingsheng aside alone and had to discuss something.
The three of them have always cooperated properly, got along well, and talked about everything. Lei Jun is not a person who can hide his own personal relationship. Today, there should be something else to do if he wants to talk to himself.
Sure enough, Lei Jun’s incident was indeed a bit tricky. He told Ren Pingsheng with a puzzled look:
Since Ren Pingsheng acquired YY Voice Company (formerly IS Voice Company), Lei Jun has become a minor shareholder of YY Voice.
Under the guidance of Ren Pingsheng, YY Voice has been launched by embedding the built-in voice function of "Ideal World". Then it launched a cooperation plan with major domestic online game developers to apply YY Voice technology to the currently operating online games, and has also achieved rapid development. Up to now, YY Voice has been embedded in 60% of online games on the market, and online game voice has become a new trend in the development of online games.
The emergence of YY Voice has also attracted many imitators and followers. Among them, the fastest move and fastest reaction is the Happy Era under Li Xuelin. In his previous life, although YY Voice, which was originally launched by the Happy Era, was taken over by Ren Pingsheng, but the development ability of the Happy Era is still very strong. They launched their own online voice software - Duole Voice a little later than YY Voice.
Although it appeared late, thanks to the platform advantages of Duole Games, Duole Voice also occupied a certain market share. Especially for the players of "World of Warcraft", most of them habitually use Duole Voice due to path dependence.
But in this market, YY Voice did not give up and used various discount methods to grab users with Duole Voice. The two were having a lot of fun in the competition between World of Warcraft players, which was quite a bit of close fighting.
The problem lies here. Although the YY pronunciation under Ren Pingsheng has essentially formed a competitive relationship with the Duole pronunciation of Happy Age, Ren Pingsheng does not hold many shares in Happy Age, and is just a third-ranked small shareholder, which has little impact on the decision-making and development of Happy Age.
Lei Jun is different. As an angel investor and major shareholder in the Happy Age, he is also a small shareholder of YY Voice under Ren Pingsheng, which constitutes a competitive relationship between the two.
Although Lei Jun is a very professional investor and has a good reputation in the investment and IT circles, because he is a shareholder of two competing companies in the same industry, it will inevitably cause bad speculation and doubt.
Among them, Li Xuelin's attitude is the best. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Ren Pingsheng's behavior of rushing to lead YY voice, the two's companies were originally just a cooperative relationship of interests, and Ren Pingsheng basically did not participate in the board of directors and decisions in the happy era. The competition between the two was purely the norm of the market economy.
But Li Xuelin had a great opinion on Lei Jun. Although Lei Jun was his angel investor, as friends and partners for many years, the two were closer to Ren Pingsheng in their personal relationships and official business relationships. In Li Xuelin's opinion, it was difficult for Lei Jun to invest in YY Voice and serve as a shareholder.
So during this period, Li Xuelin complained to Lei Jun many times, complaining about his investment in YY Voice, which made it difficult for him to be equal between the two companies, which harmed the interests of the happy era.
Lei Jun is a honest person. He doesn't want Li Xuelin to misunderstand whether in public or private, so this matter will eventually be resolved. This is the motivation for him to talk to Ren Pingsheng in private.
Ren Pingsheng saw Lei Jun’s embarrassment.
Before investing in YY Voice, Ren Pingsheng had already expected this situation to happen, but at that time he was only considering the competition problems of his peers as a shareholder of the Happy Era, and also made corresponding plans.
Although Ren Pingsheng is optimistic about Happy Times, he also has the patience to hold shares in the company until it goes public and then cashes in.
However, compared with investment, Ren Pingsheng pays more attention to the development of his career under his name. YY Voice, as an important part of building his own network ecosystem and an account system tool for intervening in social networks in the future, has extremely important strategic value at present and is also the target of focusing on investment and maturity in the near future.
Therefore, it is impossible for YY voice to give up. Even if you want to compete head-on with Li Xuelin, you will be willing to kill yourself.
There are no eternal friends or eternal enemies in the mall, only eternal interests.
When doing business, Ren Pingsheng is not a rude person, and he believes that Li Xuelin is not either.
However, Ren Pingsheng is a person who cares about things. He doesn't want Lei Jun to be stuck between the two. Lei Jun has the grace of supporting him, and there is still a lot of room for cooperation between the two in the future.
In this matter, Ren Pingsheng can take a step back.
Therefore, Ren Pingsheng proposed a solution, and he personally invested in buying all the shares of Lei Jun in YY Voice, turning the company into his own. At the same time, Ren Pingsheng will withdraw from the board of directors of Happy Age and entrust the voting rights he held in Happy Age to Lei Jun as Lei Jun's joint actor.
In this way, Lei Jun got rid of the trouble of being a shareholder of the two companies and was able to better and more focus on fulfilling the duties of the major shareholder of the Happy Age; and after Ren retired from the Happy Age board of directors in his lifetime, he was unable to understand and participate in the development and operation of the Happy Age, and in fact he had lost the right to speak in the Happy Age, and he only existed as a financial investor.
After this operation was completed, Li Xuelin's previous suspicion and dissatisfaction had no basis, and all three parties could be freed from this capital dilemma and return to their main business.
Lei Jun was overjoyed and accepted Ren Pingsheng's suggestion.
Although he has always been optimistic about the potential of YY Voice, after all, he invested more in the company in Happy Age, placed more bargaining chips, and had better personal relationships with Li Xuelin. Now he can withdraw from YY Voice and focus on being a major shareholder in Happy Age, which is a good result.
Ren Pingsheng's suggestions not only took into account Lei Jun's personality, but also maximized his interests. The matter was handled so thoughtfully and appropriately, which made him look at this young man with admiration again.
Therefore, Lei Jun did not make too many requests to withdraw from the valuation of YY Voice's shares. He sold it to Ren Pingsheng at the time at a fair price, with a consideration of RMB 5 million.
After the transaction is completed, YY Voice becomes a sole proprietorship owned by Ren Pingsheng. After that, it will continue to play the role of a chess piece on the Internet ecological platform and charge forward for Ren Pingsheng's Internet career.
From then on, Ren Pingsheng and Li Xuelin also completely tore off the veil of their past cooperative relationship and will compete on multiple fronts such as online voice, game platforms and media publicity in the future.
A new war will begin again.
