Chapter 543 Red Shark turns on the money printing machine mode



Wei Yang spoke shamelessly, then drank a glass of warm milk and rubbed his waist. He suffered a lot last night when Xiao Zhao came back to settle the score with him.

Don't get me wrong, it's not because I'm tired. A Xiao Zhao can't defeat Boss Wei.

The reason for the waist pain was mainly due to posture problems. Zhao Liying has a strong personality and this time she meant to punish, so Boss Wei was a little passive. Even though Zhao Liying is petite, she weighs nearly 100 pounds, and the continuous and violent falls inevitably caused some strain.

"How are you? Your wife didn't cause you any trouble."

"Don't worry, I'm not like you. My wife believes in me and can handle it easily."

Li Jiahang patted his chest so loudly, but Wei Yang didn't bother to pay any attention to him. If this grandson wanted to have such a status in the family, his name would be written backwards.

What's more, even if Li Sheng usually trusted him, Wei Yang dared to guarantee that Zhao Liying would definitely exaggerate the matter out of revenge this time, and Li Jiahang might be the mastermind in her words.

This cannot be said to be that Zhao Liying cannot distinguish right from wrong. Li Jiahang did take too much blame, and it is possible that she really believed that it was he who led Wei Yang astray.

How could my man be a scumbag? It must be the fault of those bad friends!

For the sake of his friend's face, Wei Yang did not expose the truth. He said a few words casually, hung up the phone, and continued to eat breakfast.

After taking a day off yesterday, Zhao Liying and Li Jiahang went back to work, and Wei Yang was not idle either.

We have just entered 2016, the end of the year and the beginning of the next. There are a lot of big and small things to do, and Boss Wei is picky and lazy in various ways. There are still so many schedule announcements that it gives him a stomachache.

Look, before I finished my breakfast, the driver was already waiting downstairs, and the relevant person in charge also sent me a greeting on WeChat.

Boss Wei had lost his appetite and ate something in a hurry. The aunt on duty cleaned up the place for him, and he went downstairs and got in his car to start today's work.

The first stop was Red Shark Company! Last year, many of Wei Yang's private companies developed well, and Blue Whale made a lot of money, with the cumulative box office of its produced movies exceeding 10 billion.

PPTV also rose strongly, ranking among the top three in the industry, with a market value that once exceeded 25 billion yuan.

Jade Shrimp has participated in the investment of a large number of film and television projects, with more than 75% of the projects profitable, and the annual profit is estimated to be over ten digits.

The Blue Crab made a fortune quietly, and there were many surprises in the projects, company shares, stocks and other related investments he held.

For example, with a new round of financing and related cooperation with Blue Whale and PPTV, Bilibili’s valuation is more than one-third higher than the previous life, and is currently close to 2.6 billion yuan.

Wei Yang had a huge advantage in the angel round, so he invested a little money and still maintained more than 20% of the shares.

There is also ByteDance, which is also developing well now. It is expected to complete a new round of financing before the summer, and its valuation is expected to reach 3.5 to 5 billion RMB by then.

Wei Yang of ByteDance did not invest much money, but instead provided more resource support. He is currently one of the three largest shareholders outside the founding team.

There is no need to say much about the other miscellaneous companies, these two treasure chests alone say it all.

Wei Yang even wants to get involved in Pinduoduo, but the threshold there is a bit high, so he is still in the process of contacting them.

Both Mr. Huang of Pinduoduo and Mr. Zhang of ByteDance are not unknown persons. Before this, they have both started many businesses and are favored by many bigwigs in the industry.

If you want to invest in them, you not only need money, but also resources. If you don’t have big capital and related bigwigs, you can’t get a share of the pie.

Fortunately, Wei Yang is not only rich, but also a big shot in the media and entertainment circles.

Just like Principal Wang tried to get Wei Yang to cooperate with him before, with China's largest entertainment company + popular video website, as well as other extended platform channels, the resources that Boss Wei can mobilize at this time are terrifying.

Pinduoduo was able to succeed in its previous life. In addition to accurately positioning itself in the middle and lower-level markets, its crazy early publicity was very important.

“Pinduoduo, Pinduoduo, the more you work, the more you save… Pinduoduo is a money-saving app used by 100 million people.”

This magical advertising song bombarded all major TV platforms and video websites, as well as various popular variety shows and TV shows, and forcibly drove these three words into the ears of audiences across the country.

As for viral spread and then a cut, it is already the next stage of routine after accumulating user groups.

The reason why Pinduoduo is building up momentum so crazily is largely to race against time with Taobao and JD.com.

Before they react, accumulate advantages in the middle and lower-level e-commerce markets to the greatest extent possible.

Compared with the fledgling Pinduoduo, although Taobao and JD.com are big ships that are difficult to turn around, they are huge in size. If they really frantically block the opponent at all costs, Pinduoduo will be in big trouble.

Therefore, Wei Yang, who has the benefit of publicity, has a great advantage in this regard.

Once he becomes a shareholder, everyone becomes a family, and promoting Pinduoduo becomes his own business. If he is given enough shares, he can take the lead in criticizing Jack Ma and JD.com's Liu.

This is not Boss Wei being arrogant. With his popularity and fame, if he really went against these two people, it would probably cause a nationwide outcry.

I can’t say anything about other things, but in terms of influence and popularity, Wei Yang can make Pinduoduo one of the top three e-commerce companies in the shortest time.

Of course, if Boss Huang agrees to the price that can make Boss Wei lose face and make enemies with the two bosses, it is estimated that it is almost equivalent to working for Wei Yang...

In terms of huge potential, of course, it is the shares held by Blue Crab Venture Capital.

But for now, Bilibili and ByteDance have only just emerged and have not officially started to exert their efforts. There are achievements, but the data on the surface is not excellent.

Throughout 2015, the most dazzling business of Wei Yang’s company was actually Red Shark.

A few data will tell it all.

Since its launch, Honor of Kings has broken numerous records. At the end of last year, it set a mobile game legend with more than 1 million online users at the same time. The number of daily active users is approaching 40 million, making it the most popular mobile game at present.

NetEase's "Fantasy Westward Journey" and "Westward Journey Online" were also extremely popular mobile games last year. It is rumored online that the total revenue of the two games exceeded 5 billion+.

"Honor of Kings" topped the mobile game list last year, so you can imagine how much money it made.

Coupled with the fact that there are also many outstanding performances in other games, adding up all the scattered data, Red Shark has accidentally made it into the top ten in the total revenue ranking of game companies, and is even approaching the top five.

Boss Wei did some calculations in private. Among all the companies under his umbrella, Red Shark made the most money in terms of actual cash.

What’s more important is that all this money belongs to Boss Wei alone, which is really cool.

Wei Yang originally spent hundreds of millions to buy a private jet, and he was more or less a little worried, occasionally reflecting on whether he was being too extravagant and wasteful.

But after looking at Red Shark's financial statements, Boss Wei felt that his vision was still too narrow.

A few hundred million is nothing!

When I’m happy one day, I’ll order a few more planes and they’ll all take off together, sometimes flying in a straight line, sometimes in a V-shape.

This old guy studies Mars, and I study Jupiter. Maybe one day when the Earth is in need, I can help out and be credited with a great achievement...

So Wei Yang's purpose of coming to Red Shark today was very simple. In addition to some necessary work, the main purpose was to reward people based on their merits.

Wei Yang can usually be a hands-off boss, but he cannot delegate matters like distributing money to others.

Throw money around!

Throwing money around! At this time, Wei Yang never felt bad about money. After all, the money was earned by everyone. He took the lion's share, and he was reluctant to give a small share. He really deserved to be hanged on the street lamp.

Red Shark has been established for several years, and it has rewarded people for their contributions more than once or twice.

But since the profit this year is the highest, the scale of reward will naturally be larger.

In order to win people's hearts and boost morale, Wei Yang contacted the bank directly and transferred 10 million cash to the company's conference room, forming a huge mountain of banknotes.

This money is not distributed, but taken out for viewing. After all, no matter how large the amount on the check or bank card is, it is not as shocking as a pile of actual cash.

When Wei Yang handed huge checks worth tens, hundreds or even tens of millions to individuals or team leaders, with red banknotes behind them, the sense of ceremony was maximized.

After the money was distributed, Wei Yang, a boss who rarely showed up a few times a year, gained a great reputation among his employees.

Boss Wei did not miss this good opportunity.

In addition to winning people's hearts, spending money is also a good opportunity to make big promises. In such occasions, even if the boss is talking nonsense, with so many examples and money in front of them, everyone will choose to believe it.

Although Boss Wei made some promises, he did not beat around the bush. To sum it up, there are only two points.

First, Wei has a clear reward system. If someone earns more this year, he will be paid more. If he earns more next year, he will be paid even more.

Second, in order to better stimulate potential and enhance cohesion, the company will prepare to launch an employee stock ownership and dividend plan next year, and eligible employees will receive dry stock rewards.

One stone can cause a thousand ripples!

As soon as Boss Wei finished speaking, the place suddenly became noisy, and even many executives couldn't help but whisper to each other.

Although from what Boss Wei meant, it was just a reward of dry shares, not actual equity, and the company has not yet disclosed its listing plan.

But even so, it is enough to excite everyone. After all, bonuses are bonuses, and shares are shares. Who wouldn't want to get two kinds of money?

Moreover, bonuses vary depending on performance, while stocks are distributed according to the company's revenue, which is undoubtedly much more stable.

More radical people have begun to imagine that since Boss Wei is willing to offer dry shares this time, he may not necessarily offer actual equity in the future and then manipulate the listing.

For executives and some core technical personnel, this is the biggest temptation.

Looking at the excited Red Shark employees, Boss Wei nodded with satisfaction.

If possible, he would also like to eat alone, but experience tells him that eating alone often leads to bad consequences.

In the past two years, Red Shark was still in its rising stage and was not particularly well-known overall. With companies such as Penguin, NetEase, Perfect World, and Youzu listed on it, its presence was not particularly strong.

Now that "Honor of Kings" has broken out of the circle on a large scale, Red Shark has become a super upstart in the gaming industry.

The increased attention has both advantages and disadvantages, the most important of which is that many companies have come to poach employees.

As far as Wei Yang knows, Red Shark had six or seven key game professionals last year, and two executives were also poached by Penguin.

This situation is very normal. Employees of large Internet companies have always jumped from one company to another. Currently, one of the core executives of Red Shark was hired by Penguin.

But this situation is common, but it does not mean that Red Shark should just sit back and watch without taking action. Otherwise, if the core team is really poached, it will be in big trouble.

Therefore, Boss Wei not only rewards employees based on their merits, spends a large amount of money, but also prepares to launch an employee stock ownership and dividend plan in order to retain talent.

"Honor of Kings" performed well last year, but it will also face huge challenges in the next two years.

According to Boss Wei, Penguin has already started copying, and even NetEase has made some unusual movements. It is estimated that they will launch a mobile game of the same type soon.

It is crucial whether Red Shark can ensure the healthy development of "Honor of Kings" under the pressure of two major gaming giants.

Boss Wei has made demands on both the executives and the "Honor of Kings" team. Bonuses and shares are not given out for free. Boss Wei is willing to spend money, so he naturally has the courage to lay off people.

At the same time, Wei Yang did not put all his hopes on "Honor of Kings".

Red Shark was previously researching a competitive survival shooting game and has made good progress. Now that it has massive amounts of funding, it will also increase funding for technology and research and development.

If all goes well, this game called "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" may be launched in mid-2016, and the mobile game will be launched shortly thereafter.

In addition, Wei Yang has always paid great attention to the miHoYo studio that was originally acquired by the company.

This studio previously launched "Honkai Gakuen 2", which had good revenue. It is considered the backbone team of Red Shark and is currently preparing for "Honkai Gakuen 3".

The Red Shark executives had high expectations for the miHoYo team, but they were still no match for Boss Wei.

If he remembered correctly, "Breaking News 3" was a key project for miHoYo to make a lot of money. If it was done well, even if it was not as good as "Honor of Kings", it would still be a cash cow that made a lot of money.

The most important thing is that after the experience of "Honkai Gakuen 3", the "Genshin Impact" that he has been longing for is about to be launched.

Therefore, although MiHoYo Studio does not have the highest status in Red Shark at present, Wei Yang still always gives it the highest treatment within the normal range, and even attracts a lot of core team members, for fear that these people will run away halfway.

So far, Boss Wei has done a pretty good job and the morale of MiHoYo employees is still stable.

Even if some individuals want to start a business, I am afraid that most people are unwilling to give up the generous treatment of large companies and instead gamble on an uncertain future.

Moreover, Wei Yang also had a trick up his sleeve. There were many restrictive clauses in the contract. If someone really wanted to leave, they could leave, but "Genshin Impact" would still belong to Red Shark.

Unconsciously, Boss Wei has become more and more proficient in many inhumane capital tactics.

The only thing Wei Yang insisted on was not crossing the bottom line. Even if he was hanged under a street light, at least he would only be called a damn capitalist, without any other bad reputation...
