Chapter 575 There is still a long way to go
Although Shang Zhuang wanted to convince himself not to be too anxious and too excited not long ago. He
should remain calm about the Future S1 phone and the manufacturer behind it, Youmei Technology...
But.
The premise of all this is... Linmu Studio eats alone.
When Linmu Studio really showed that it wanted to raise equity financing from outside.
He really couldn't keep calm.
It is estimated that it is difficult for all investors to keep calm.
After all, they have already got the Future S1 phone.
And the leader behind this phone is the legendary Lin Yao!
Although this young girl, in terms of age, can definitely be the daughter of most investors.
But her record is really dazzling.
Linmu Network Technology, which is commonly known as Linmu Studio by players, is now the most profitable game company in China and even in the world.
Switch is now one of the four major console brands, and it is also the console with the highest shipments.
Linmu Financial Holdings was about to go bankrupt, but in the end it was because of the relationship between Switch and Linmu Studio.
It survived.
And it became a rare real estate transformation without collapse.
And all of this is related to Lin Yao.
Although the current Youmei was once glorious, it was a complete mess when it was sold. Zhang Qianxi, the former helmsman of Youmei, said to everyone
after the sale that it was really saved, and Linmu Studio was really a savior. But now, Zhang Qianxi beat his chest and said he regretted it to everyone he met... He looked like he wanted to go back to the past. Yes. It was such a mess that Zhang Qianxi said was saved at the beginning, but it suddenly got a new life in Lin Yao's hands. And in a short time, it started again and released a groundbreaking mobile phone, Future S1. The girl named Lin Yao seemed to have magic... As soon as the press conference ended, Shang Zhuang knew that Lin Yao had succeeded again. This is an epoch-making product. It's hard to say how far it can go. But they will definitely not be unknown! And... If it can be listed, he dare not even think about the huge returns it can bring in the end. So, now facing the huge profits in front of him, how can he stay calm? What? You said shortcomings? What shortcomings? The possibility of imitation by Jiaming Alliance? Supplier problem? High probability of failure? Bullshit! If it is so easy to imitate and it will fail, why does Jiaming Alliance react so strongly? That's right, Shang Zhuang's idea changed completely the moment he heard that Linmu Studio submitted a business plan and planned to raise funds... While waiting for the secretary to print out the business plan, he saw that Linmu Studio announced the sales of Future S1. Two and a half million units, compared with the huge mobile phone market, it is not a lot, or even a little. But this is their first mobile phone, and it is only one model. At this time, how many days have passed since the press conference? Moreover, after the reputation is really spread this time, as long as the production scale is expanded, how fast will their development speed be next? What will happen in the future? If they can get a share of the pie, how much huge returns can they bring when they go public? Shang Zhuang became more and more excited as he thought about it, and he couldn't help but clench his fist lightly. At a certain moment, he was even bold enough to want to invest in his own name. However, this idea disappeared quickly because the secretary brought the business plan. Shang Zhuang carefully read the entire 37-page business plan. When he saw the valuation of Youmei Technology given by Linmu Studio at the end, as well as the purpose and amount of financing, he took a deep breath! ——Selling 15% of the equity financing, the planned financing is 6.2 billion...nearly 1 billion US dollars! According to this number. This is only the first round, and Youmei Technology has a valuation of over 40 billion! Wow. Really wow! How much higher is this than the largest first round of financing in the mobile phone industry so far? And in the financing plan, there is a part about the regulatory and management rights that investors can enjoy. Linmu Studio also specifically stated that it will adopt a dual-class share structure, and the voting rights of the same shares in this financing are different. In other words. The shareholders participating in the investment cannot influence the development of the company to the maximum extent. Wow!! For a moment. Shang Zhuang felt that this was not like asking for money. Instead, it was to notify them to give money... but.
He changed his mind.
Thinking of the industry's estimate of Linmu Studio's revenue capacity, he soon felt relieved.
You don't say.
They really don't have to beg people for money...
and continued to read on.
The shock brought by the valuation and the planned financing amount gradually faded.
He even thought it was quite reasonable.
The subsequent use of the financing amount.
Youmei, or the driving force behind it, Linmu Studio, is also very clear.
Technology research and development, marketing investment, and expanded production.
There is no need to mention these.
Shang Zhuang can also understand.
But he doesn't understand some of the following uses.
For example... establishing a product ecosystem, realizing an ecological closed loop, developing smart wearable devices, and developing smart devices between mobile phones and computers.
These points.
Because the business plan did not write in detail, there was only a simple mention.
For example, product ecosystem.
There is only one sentence on the business plan-a series of hardware and software services derived from hardware and software.
So Shang Zhuang has a lot of things that he doesn't understand.
But.
He can see that
Linmu Studio, the driving force behind Youmei, really has a very clear plan for the development of this company.
And.
They are really confident.
Even when reading the business plan, you can see their overflowing confidence.
Shang Zhuang flipped through the business plan again and began to look at it in a targeted manner.
The company's short-term and long-term goals.
The comparison between the product and similar products.
What is the market prospect.
The current annual production capacity.
The means of raw material quality control.
The product pricing method.
The composition of sales costs.
And so on and so forth.
Shang Zhuang read it carefully twice.
Then, he stopped at the basic financial data and looked at the data on it.
He couldn't help but smacked his tongue.
"Tsk tsk..."
When the business plan was made, the mobile phone was not on sale yet.
But the pre-sale has been opened.
So there is the revenue situation during this period on it.
The total business is nearly 9 billion, and the net profit is nearly 20%.
This data
is really terrifying!
The net profit of most mobile phone manufacturers in Jiaming Alliance that mainly make high-end mobile phones is simply a younger brother.
At this moment.
Shang Zhuang.
Doesn't think that Youmei Technology's valuation of itself is outrageous.
In fact, he thinks they are quite conscientious and authentic...
No matter from which aspect.
It feels worthwhile to be able to join the game!
Of course.
There are still risks.
The dual-class share structure is not like the same-share-equal-rights structure. It violates the shareholder governance structure of modern companies, is not conducive to the protection of shareholder interests, and easily leads to the possibility of dictatorship in management.
In addition,
Youmei Technology.
No matter how beautiful the data is, no matter how tempting the business plan is.
The leaders are always Lin Yao and her Linmu Studio.
Youmei is also highly dependent on them.
The company that raised funds this time is limited to Youmei Technology.
Linmu Studio is completely out of control, which means that
if Lin Yao really overturns the table,
no one can stop it...
and the blow to Youmei Technology will be devastating.
The future and risk coexist.
Shang Zhuang closed the business plan and gently pinched his finger bones.
He fell into deep thought.
But in fact, he didn't think for long.
Because there is no risk without investment.
And Linmu Studio, the helmsman Lin Yao.
There is no defeat yet.
Future S1.
It is not in the incubation stage now.
They have even made products!
So, do you really miss the opportunity to enter the game because of these?
The answer is definitely impossible.
So it will be soon.
Shang Zhuang raised his head, picked up the phone next to him, and said directly: "Please contact the headquarters to make an appointment for me. I want to talk to Damon. The appointment is about the financing of Future S1 manufacturer Youmei Technology. I believe they will give you a reply soon."
...
April 29.
The second day after Future S1 was released.
Youmei's A round of financing was officially launched.
After the project was launched, it attracted the attention of more than one hundred market-oriented investment institutions.
Moreover, not long after the business plan was submitted,
there were many heads of investment institutions with similar reactions to Shang Zhuang.
Soon,
there were nearly thirty investment institutions that wanted to continue the in-depth discussion and contacted Youmei Technology.
Zhang Youjie's phone was blown up.
The popularity of Future S1 is still rising wildly.
As more and more people get the phone and praise it crazily,
more and more people want to buy it.
However,
users who want to buy it on the day of the release soon found out that
the delivery date is almost scheduled for July!
Youmei started again, and problems began to emerge, that is, it is impossible to meet the needs of users.
This is a happy trouble.
The main reason is that there are too many people who want to buy it. After
all, after the release of Future S1, the related hot searches have been ranked first on social media for three days.
And the postponement of the release date
has also caused the price of mobile phones in the scalper market to rise.
Now the starting price of mobile phones is 4399, and it has risen to 6000!
But there is still an endless stream of users who choose to buy from scalpers.
Even though Youmei has repeatedly issued announcements, stating that production will increase during this period and will meet the needs of the majority of users as soon as possible, it has not been able to curb this situation.
Those dealers who refused to sell Future S1.
Now they are regretting it.
Fuck!
Jiaming Alliance has misled me! ! !
And Jiaming Alliance is so angry about this situation!
And they also heard about the official launch of Youmei's financing.
When they heard that Linmu Studio was not going to eat alone this time and started looking for capital.
At that moment.
They knew what panic and anxiety were...
But they really have no way out now.
Capital doesn't care about Jiaming Alliance.
On the one hand, Future S1 is popular in the domestic market, becoming the best-selling mobile phone in China this month, and even stirring up the scalper market.
On the other hand, the investment market is surging, and major investment institutions are crazy about Youmei's business plan and have begun to frequently contact Zhang Youjie, the current head of Youmei.
April just came to an end.
Early May.
Although the supply and scalper problems of Future S1 still exist,
soon,
as a piece of news was released,
this situation was effectively alleviated...
On May 2,
Changlian Group, the fourth largest professional manufacturer of 3C products in China, issued an announcement.
It officially agreed to the acquisition offer proposed by Linmu Financial Holdings, accepted the capital injection, and became a subsidiary of Linmu Financial Holdings!
At the same time,
Linmu Financial Holdings and Linmu Studio also jointly issued an announcement, announcing that starting from mid-May, Changlian Group will expand after producing existing orders, and then fully produce Future S1.
And promised that next,
the supply situation of Future S1 will be effectively alleviated.
Many investment institutions took a breath again after seeing this announcement.
Linmu Studio is really serious about making mobile phones.
This can be seen from the joint announcement.
This acquisition was not completed by Linmu Financial Holdings alone. Linmu Investment, the newly established Linmu Studio, also participated, and the investment was not small.
The two sisters Lin Yao and Lin Xi spent so much to acquire Changlian... Of course, it is impossible for them to play.
They really have great confidence in the future of mobile phones.
So as soon as this announcement was issued.
This directly made Youmei's financing project even more popular.
Now if you want to have a deep chat with Zhang Youjie, you have to queue up.
And in the first few days of May, a small thing happened.
Since the beginning of Switch, the local express company in Pengcheng, Suda Express, has been cooperating with Linmu Studio and Linmu Financial Holdings, and announced a new financial report.
This quarter, their revenue curve has doubled compared with the fourth quarter of last year.
Considering that Future S1 is hard to find a new machine recently, the shipment volume of Switch is rushing towards 70 million.
It goes without saying where this extra revenue comes from.
On the same day.
At the same time as the financial report was released, Suda Express also announced that it had reached a deeper cooperation with Youmei and Linmu Financial Holdings, and would expand recruitment and expand the scale of operations.
Just such a simple sentence.
Directly let their stock price rise to a record high.
Seeing this scene.
The capital market was shocked again.
Linmu Studio, Linmu Financial Holdings, plus Youmei... Now it's like a whale.
Just a flick of the tail can create a huge wave.
It has really become a trend...
and with the completion of Changlian's acquisition.
This also marks that
Linmu Financial Holdings has completely completed its transformation and completely removed the hat of real estate, becoming the third largest 3C product manufacturing group in China and an excellent enterprise that can provide a large number of jobs.
On May 8,
the person ranked first in Pengcheng went to inspect Changlian, which had just been acquired, and confirmed this.
It is difficult to say clearly.
When Lin Xi heard about the inspection and heard the other party say "to adhere to the investment strategy of deep cultivation of technology", how did she feel?
I can only say that
it was mixed...
...
Of course,
all of the above
has little to do with Lin Yao for the time being.
After the Future S1 was released and the Changlian acquisition was completed,
she put her energy back to Linmu Studio.
This is the starting point of everything.
Next,
there are many things to do in Linmu Studio.
Of course, she can't really abandon Linmu Studio and run to focus on mobile phones and related industries.
After returning to Linmu Studio,
in addition to game affairs, Lin Yao also did one thing,
which was to start the equity incentive plan.
"So... I will become a rich woman in the future!?"
Console Product Department.
After the discussion of "Tracking" came to an end, Zhu Nianqiao looked at Lin Yao with sparkling eyes, somewhat excited.
The core members of Linmu Studio all knew about this.
"Very likely."
Seeing her expression, Lin Yao couldn't help but nodded: "If it goes on the market smoothly, will you be happy?"
"Happy... Then do I have money to buy you?"
Zhu Nianqiao nodded, then looked at Lin Yao, who was wearing jeans and a white T-shirt, refreshing, clean and elegant, and suddenly asked.
"..."
Lin Yao was silent for a moment, raised her hand, and directly hit her head with a knife.
"Ouch..."
Zhu Nianqiao covered her head.
"Who do you think the stocks came from?"
Lin Yao put her hands on her hips, gently raised her chest, and joked: "You are a rich woman, then I am a very rich woman! Do you understand? You buy me? I buy you more or less!"
"I know..."
Zhu Nianqiao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I know you are older..."
"Are you mocking me?" Lin Yao's eyes condensed.
"I don't have any."
"If I don't have any, where are you looking?"
"Senior, you are looking for trouble, anyone would look, right?"
"You just called me senior, right? Is this a school? You have lost your salary this month!"
"Eh!?"
"..."
Lin Yao teased Zhu Nianqiao for a while, half relaxing and half joking.
Then she went back downstairs happily and walked into her office.
And pushed the door open.
Sure enough.
Mu Wanqing was waiting in the morning.
"What? Do you want to buy me too?"
Lin Yao looked at the black silk glasses girl in a professional suit, who seemed to be more and more attractive as time went by, and said jokingly.
"Buy you?"
Mu Wanqing tilted her head.
Lin Yao repeated what Zhu Nianqiao had just said to her.
"I would like to... How about I take out all the shares you gave me?" Mu Wanqing smiled lightly, and then said, "I will buy you."
"I can't afford it." Lin Yao shook her head.
"There are so many, and I can't afford them..."
Mu Wanqing hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "I feel uneasy."
"Okay, this is what you deserve."
Lin Yao shook her head helplessly, and then smiled at her brightly: "There's nothing wrong with making more money, you can buy more black stockings..."
In fact, after seeing Mu Wanqing.
Lin Yao knew her purpose in finding her.
This time Mu Wanqing was the main person in charge of the incentive plan, of course she knew the inside story... She got the most shares.
Hearing this, Mu Wanqing was a little amused and said angrily: "You have never worn black stockings! You don't know the price at all! And you buy black stockings... Do you know how much you can buy?"
"How much?" Lin Yao asked curiously.
"That's not the point at all!"
Mu Wanqing couldn't help but take a step forward and rubbed Lin Yao's soft face hard.
Lin Yao 'hmm' and said vaguely: "Then consider it a dowry."
"...What if that person is richer than me?" Mu Wanqing hesitated for a moment, looking at Lin Yao's round and pretty oval face.
"Then consider it as a betrothal gift."
Lin Yao continued vaguely, "If you really want to thank me, then let's dance..."
Mu Wanqing pursed her lips lightly and rubbed her face much more gently, "Then let's go to my house."
"Will you wear black stockings?" Lin Yao asked with a smile.
"Yes."
Mu Wanqing let go of Lin Yao's face, and her arms, which were as white as snow, were placed on Lin Yao's shoulders, gently wrapping around her neck: "I can wear whatever you want me to wear!"
"It's a deal."
Lin Yao put her arms around Mu Wanqing's slender waist in return, and replied: "When I have time... I'll go! Don't regret it."
"... Stupid."
Mu Wanqing leaned forward and gently bumped Lin Yao's smooth forehead.
...
Working, playing, thinking about the next plan...
It was a little after seven in the evening.
Lin Yao finished a day's work and drove back home.
The games of the past few days were almost sorted out.
The next plan of Youmei was put on the agenda again.
Lin Yao actually had a plan in mind.
It could be implemented immediately without waiting for the financing to be completed.
However.
If it is put on paper, it needs to be thought about carefully.
I wonder how the current financing situation is being discussed?
Lin Yao parked the car and walked towards the door, thinking.
This time Youmei Technology raised funds.
She did not participate in person, but just drew a red line.
Otherwise, she really couldn't rest for a moment.
She expected that the financing problem should not be a big problem.
Because Future S1 is so popular now.
Open the door, enter the house, change shoes.
Lin Yao found that the lights in the house were still on. She
quickened her pace a little.
Then, she saw Lin Xi holding clothes in the living room and was about to ask about financing.
But before she could speak
, Lin Xi walked towards her quickly, grabbed her wrist and took her to the bathroom.
"...What are you doing?"
Lin Yao was confused.
Then before she could react, she was pulled into the bathroom.
Twenty minutes later.
"...Don't hold it, I'm ticklish, hold my waist!"
Lin Yao lay in the bathtub and twisted her body uncomfortably. Her snow-white and flawless skin was looming in the mist.
And Lin Xi also obeyed and turned to hug her waist, but his little face was still on her slender neck, rubbing hard.
"So what are you doing? Today."
Lin Yao was a little helpless.
Just came back.
Forced to take a bath.
But Lin Xi was unwilling to tell the reason.
"It's mainly because I'm too excited."
Lin Xi raised her head and said softly, "Do you know what happened today?"
"What?"
Lin Xi explained the inspection to her.
"Linmu Financial Holdings would never have had the chance to do this before."
Lin Xi hugged her sister tightly, smelling the faint fragrance coming from her body, and whispered, "Linmu Financial Holdings has really changed now..."
"I thought it was something else."
After hearing this, Lin Yao was a little amused and said, "What's the connection... Isn't this normal? Linmu Financial Holdings has actually completed its transformation some time ago."
"And this time, it should not only be because of Linmu Financial Holdings, but also related to the achievements made by Linmu Studio and Youmei during this period, so sister, don't be too happy too soon..."
"I know... but sister is happy."
Lin Xi's white jade-like calves kicked lightly, splashing a large amount of water.
"..."
Lin Yao thought about the significance of Linmu Financial Holdings to her, and probably understood her feelings.
Just like Linmu Studio to her.
"I know, but we really can't be happy too soon... There are advantages to Youmei introducing external capital, but there are also disadvantages."
Lin Yao held Lin Xi's small hand on her waist, leaned back, and looked at the ceiling of the bathroom: "Capital is profit-seeking. For them, making money is not only about more, but also about faster."
"Take game companies as an example... Capitalists own company shares, and therefore own the fruits of the labor of game developers, but they are not responsible for the games, let alone the players."
"For them, both players and developers are just lambs to be slaughtered, money-making tools that can be used and thrown away at will, and can be disposed of at will."
"In other words, the same goes for mobile phones."
"So next, Youmei still has a long way to go, and Linmu Financial Holdings, as a foundry, also has a long way to go."
"I understand..."
Lin Xi rubbed Lin Yao's snow-white neck and said with a smile: "Sister is not floating, just a little excited... I also want to ask you about your next plan for Youmei."
"Youmei's plan..."
Lin Yao wanted to reply.
But just opened her mouth.
Suddenly.
Ding——
[Congratulations! Successfully launched a console, with global sales exceeding 70 million units - mission accomplished! 】
