A good day ends with making money.
Pei Qian originally wanted to take a good nap today, then review, and then reward himself with something delicious. The arrangement was perfect.
However, this nonsensical ten million dollars falling from the sky ruined all his good mood.
Pei Qian was silent for a long time and asked: "Is it okay to sponsor these ten million dollars back?"
In line with the principle of whoever makes the money, who spends it, since This money is earned by sponsoring the club, and of course it would be better to sponsor it back.
He Desheng said: "Mr. Pei, are you telling us that we can kill someone and continue to sponsor the club and continue to make money?"
"I'm afraid not."
"Zhidou Company is not that stupid and cannot allow this to happen a second time. Before, we sponsored the club and required them to put the GOG logo on their team uniforms, which was a loophole in the imperfect rules. Now Zhitou Company has All clubs participating in ioi official competitions are required not to have sponsorships from other games on their uniforms.”
“Of course, the clubs we sponsored before are still in a gray area, and the company is reluctant to pay them liquidated damages. , the results of these teams are not very good, so... let's leave it like this for now."
"But it won't work anymore, this loophole has been plugged by Zhidou Company."
p>
Before, Pei Qian sponsored a total of ten clubs, but now five of them have to terminate their contracts with compensation, while the other five will continue to sponsor.
Obviously, Zhitou Company selected five clubs that were relatively strong and more likely to enter the quarterfinals to terminate their contracts. As for the other five, they really couldn't bear the money.
After all, if all contracts are terminated, another 10 million dollars will be charged, and even the Dayak Group will feel extremely painful.
Pei Qian was very melancholy.
Looking on the bright side, at least the other five companies did not force the contract to be terminated, otherwise I would have to earn another 10 million dollars, which would be even more stressful...
He Desheng said : "Mr. Pei, how will you spend this money...?"
Pei Qian was silent.
Yes, how to spend it?
Seeing that the settlement is about to be settled in a month, it is necessary to spend 10 million dollars on a sudden. Isn’t this a funny mentality?
Of course, there are still ways to spend money, such as investing in the "Mission and Choice" project, or continuing to advertise, sponsor, or engage in some promotional activities for GOG.
But this is a lot of money after all. How to spend it the fastest and with the least negative impact needs to be considered again.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian said: "Don't worry, I'll think about it again."
Of course He Desheng didn't have any objections: "Okay, Mr. Pei."< /p>
After hanging up the phone, Pei Qian felt melancholy, and the good mood of the day was gone.
I couldn’t sleep anymore, so I got up, washed up, and went to Moyu Internet Cafe to have breakfast.
Then, Pei QianWhile drinking coffee, I read news on the Internet.
In the past two days, the news in the e-sports and gaming circles has basically been dominated by the ioi World Finals. After all, the GPL Spring Split has not officially started yet, and this is the only major event. In addition, Shanglongyu Group is adding fuel to the fire, so the news is overwhelming.
However, in addition to the results of each team in the group stage, there is also a lot of FV club news, such as the excellent training conditions revealed on the FV club’s Weibo, as well as those lively Weibo posts etc.
It also takes up a lot of space and is very popular.
Because today is already the second match day, domestic teams did not play today, and yesterday’s match was quite ugly. Neither the media nor the audience wanted to mention it anymore.
As the number one seed in the country, FV Club has done some good things and is very suitable for news reports.
So, even if Longyu Group doesn’t like FV Club, various game media still think it’s upright and give a lot of news space to FV Club in order to get higher clicks.
Pei Qian didn't care too much. Since he wanted to attract hatred, it would definitely create a certain amount of heat. But this popularity is unlikely to be converted into profits, and it will even have a negative impact after the FV team loses the game, so there is nothing to worry about.
Pei Qian looked at the news in other sections. Suddenly, a piece of news caught his attention.
"The rumor that the cold-faced girl is in bankruptcy, Meng Chang clarifies: it is a rumor"!
Although the cold-faced girl has nothing to do with Yuanmeng Venture Capital, Pei Qian is still paying attention to the news about the cold-faced girl.
If the cold-faced girl becomes popular and the valuation inflates, then Pei Qian can rest assured that he made the right move to avoid making more money;
If the cold-faced girl becomes popular After confirming that this is a rubbish project that will not burn out the future even if it costs money, Pei Qian can consider buying junk assets at the bottom to burn money.
Pei Qian hurriedly clicked on the news and found that the cause of the matter was that a certain media broke the news that Cold Noodle Girl had failed in financing and had a tight capital chain. It had defaulted on payments to suppliers and was afraid that it would go bankrupt in the near future.
And this revelation exploded all the previous negative news about the cold-faced girl.
In fact, since the establishment of Cold Noodle Girl, there have been many voices of doubt on the Internet, including questioning that its food is not delicious, expensive, excessive marketing and hype, reputation is far greater than substance, etc.
But the cold noodle girl was very popular before. The stores were popular and the Internet popularity was very high. In addition, the taste was decent, the price was subsidized and not particularly expensive, so this kind of voice was not It didn't trigger a lot of reaction.
But now the online marketing craze for Cold Noodle Girl has gradually receded. Coupled with this revelation, the previous negative voices of Cold Noodle Girl have naturally been dug out.
This revelation does not have too much criticism, it just forwards a chat record, which is the so-called "industry news""People"'s conversation content.
As we all know, chat records are not solid, but they are better than no pictures.
And this news also stimulated many people's desire to discuss, and also Someone wrote a special article analyzing the cold-faced girl’s business model and blatantly pessimistically speaking.
The title of this article is "The so-called Internet thinking of the cold-faced girl is nothing more than pretense", and the paragraph at the end of the article is. The words are heart-wrenching.
“It must be admitted that Meng Chang has extremely strong cross-border thinking, extremely high IQ, top-notch execution ability, and superb eloquence. From any angle, he seems to They are all perfect entrepreneurs. "
"However, common sense tells us that no matter in any era, no one is more stupid than anyone else. No matter how smart a genius is, he can only deceive consumers for a while, but not for a lifetime. What's more, there are even smarter geniuses above geniuses. Perhaps in the eyes of other geniuses, such as Mr. Pei, Meng Chang's thinking is as simple as a blank sheet of paper. ”
“Meng Chang has always emphasized Internet thinking and conforming to the trend of the times. However, he is like a child sitting in the passenger seat of a car, posing as if he is driving, thinking that he is in control of the car. Direction and collect money from passengers as a driver; but in fact, neither the car nor the road is under his control. ”
This article can be called a perfect follow-up.
The exposed chat records have no authenticity. The cold-faced girl can definitely say that this is a smear campaign by a competitor, but this The article was written with great care, especially when it pointed out several fatal problems of the cold-faced girl.
The most fatal thing is this sentence: Perhaps in the eyes of other geniuses, such as Mr. Pei, Meng Chang's thinking is as simple as a blank slate.
This is obviously because Mr. Pei sold the shares of Lengmian Girl twice before making it clear!
As we all know, Mr. Pei invested. The success rate is extremely high. Mr. Pei sold his shares twice in a row. This must be because in Mr. Pei's view, there is a huge problem with the cold-faced girl's model!
So, doubts are rampant
The cold noodles girl also refuted the rumors immediately, saying that the company's current capital chain is healthy, financing is smooth, and there are no problems in daily operations. Please don't believe the rumors.
But about cold noodles. The debate over the girl's business model has begun again.
Netizens are having heated discussions on many news websites and major forums that have reproduced this news.
Some people think that Cold Noodle Girl has always been popular, so it’s not surprising that it closed down;
Some people think that Cold Noodle Girl is in a good situation, but this is the media’s sensationalism to deceive clicks;
Also Some people think that Meng Chang is so fond of marketing that this is probably a self-deprecation and cooperation with the media to create publicity.
In short, there are different opinions, but there are indeed more and more doubts about the cold-faced girl. < /p>
Looking at these arguments on the Internet, Pei Qian was speechless and conflicted.
Obviously.Many people know about Yuanmeng Venture Capital's sale of Cold Noodle Girl's shares, and think this is a clear signal: Leng Nian Girl is not favored by Mr. Pei, and sooner or later she will be in trouble.
However, Pei Qian himself knew very well why he wanted to sell his shares.
The paradox is, can the cold-faced girl do it or not? Judging from the news that is breaking out now, it seems that he has encountered some difficulties, but if Pei Qian takes action now, what if he directly saves it?
This is very confusing.
Pei Qian thought for a long time and decided to remain unchanged in the face of all changes, saying that he would not be fooled again.
This time, we must wait until the cold-faced girl is completely dead and there is no possibility of rescue before we take action. We must not turn losses into profits again!
……
At the same time, Fuhui Capital.
Li Shi and Xue Zhebin stared blankly with big eyes and small eyes.
Xue Zhebin said tentatively: "Mr. Li, your judgment about Mr. Pei... seems to have some deviations?"
"If Mr. Pei runs away... what should we do? !”
Li Shi took a sip of tea silently and did not reply.
After Li Shi and Xue Zhebin invested 8 million in Cold Noodle Girl, Mr. Pei immediately sold all the shares in Cold Noodle Girl that he had previously spent 2 million to buy, once again completely drawing a clear line with Cold Noodle Girl.
As a result, this move immediately had a chain reaction, and investors were even less optimistic about the cold-faced girl model!
According to Meng Chang’s plan, after receiving this investment from Mr. Li, he will make a final effort to push up the valuation of Cold Noodle Girl and negotiate with more investors. As a result, What Mr. Pei did was equivalent to draining the firepower and directly cutting off Meng Chang's escape path!
Meng Chang couldn’t get investment, and the cold-faced girl continued to burn money. The eight million seemed like a lot, but in fact it couldn’t last long. The cold-faced girl’s capital chain was already very tight.
It was revealed on the Internet that Cold Noodle Girl was about to close down. Although it was a bit exaggerated and an exaggerated statement, it was indeed not groundless. Investors are generally not optimistic about this project, and it is inevitable that rumors will leak out.
After the unscrupulous media added fuel to the fire, it became what it is now.
Obviously, the cold-faced girl has reached a critical moment of life and death. Most of the companies that have gone bankrupt have sudden problems with their capital chains, and they may die suddenly in a very short period of time.
This makes Li Shi and Xue Zhebin’s investment very stupid...
Of course, other investors also have more or less shares in the cold-faced girl, Li Shi was not the biggest victim.
Now everyone is in a rather contradictory state of mind.
I want to sell, but if everyone sells, the valuation of Lengmian Girl will collapse instantly, then all the shares in everyone’s hands will be worthless, and no one can escape; but if someone sells If someone refuses to sell, the person who sells first will be able to escape, and the person who sells later will be able to escape.People will be trapped.
meaning.
Li Shi coughed twice, which relieved the awkwardness of the scene.
"Don't panic, although the cold-faced girl's matter has reached a turning point, it is obviously not over yet."
"The reason is Mr. Pei's operation!"
"Mr. Pei first invested 2 million and then sold it immediately. Others may interpret it as Mr. Pei saw the problem with the cold-faced girl and got out in time, but I don't think so."
" If Mr. Pei thought there was something wrong with the cold-faced girl, he must have noticed it from the beginning, otherwise he would not have sold all the shares and invested another 2 million. Why?"
"Pei? Are you always playing tricks on Meng Chang?"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"Obviously, in my opinion, Mr. Pei has a deeper meaning. It may be that he is deliberately sending a signal to wait for the cold-faced girl's valuation to collapse!"
"Mr. Pei's move is definitely not just to teach Meng Chang a lesson. I have said before that Mr. Pei is in business. They only talk about interests and not feelings. Even if Mr. Pei hates Meng Chang and imposes a slight punishment, this can only be the second purpose. The first purpose is definitely to make money through the cold-faced girl!"
" Mr. Pei had already made a fortune by selling the shares of Lengmian Girl at the beginning. If it only ends here, the next 2 million will be completely unnecessary."
"So I judge that after Mr. Pei. There will definitely be some action!"
"I will choose a suitable time to acquire some cold-faced girls' shares at a low price."
"This time, I will make a reservation. Judge Mr. Pei’s plan and stay ahead of Mr. Pei!”
……
……
2012, January 1, New Year’s Day.
8:00 am domestic time, 4:00 pm Los Angeles time on December 31, 2011.
Pei Qian got up as usual. He had no special feelings about the New Year's Day holiday, and he had no habit of staying up until midnight to celebrate New Year's Eve.
This year is the special year of 2012, so there are endless discussions about this year on the Internet.
As early as 2009, a global disaster movie called "2012" was released, and the fables of the Mayans have long been widely known.
However, Pei Qian is very clear that there is nothing particularly worthy of attention in 2012. The so-called doomsday on December 21 is just nonsense. In addition, there are other things such as the Olympic Games and the US presidential election. , in fact, it has little to do with most people’s daily lives.
Therefore, Pei Qian was not in the mood to care about the discussions about the special year of 2012, and instead focused on his own affairs.
We have to continue reviewing during the exam week, and the group stage results of the two domestic teams in the ioi global finals have also come out.
One team was eliminated, and the other team persisted until the playoffs with the same score, but they still lost after a fierce battle and ultimately lost the qualification for the quarterfinals.
Just now, the second team's game has just ended, and the entire live broadcast room is filled with all kinds of abuse. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the end of domestic ioi!
