Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 711 Dongsheng Group!
The process of group formation is indeed cumbersome, but every profession has its own expertise. For Zhang Xiaoguang, who has been in charge of a listed company before, setting up articles of association is naturally a piece of cake.
In this process, there are two major factors that cannot be ignored. The so-called groupization is naturally to take a parent company as the core, bringing a number of subsidiaries under its control to complete the process of incorporation.
Thanks to Zhou Dongsheng's absolute controlling rights over a number of companies, the incorporation process was a natural outcome.
However, this process involves another major factor, which is that it is necessary to convene a shareholders' meeting to establish the board of directors, an important decision-making body.
Although Zhou Dongsheng has absolute , it does not mean that he can ignore the interests of other shareholders.
After all, on Zhou Dongsheng's boat of interests, those shareholders are almost all extraordinary people, and they are also the most solid network base in Zhou Dongsheng's hands.
Driven by common interests, this network of contacts has been firmly consolidated, which is of great help both to Zhou Dongsheng personally and to the development of the company.
To put it bluntly, humans are social animals after all. It is impossible for them to be independent individuals separated from social relations. This is true even for so-called hermits who have retired to the mountains, let alone ordinary people.
If we count the companies owned by Zhou Dongsheng, except for Dongsheng Investment, which is a wholly-owned investment company, the other companies have many shareholders.
Starting from the early days of Little People Media, the reason why Little People Media developed so rapidly was certainly due to Zhou Dongsheng's "foresight", who successfully accumulated a large number of extremely solid anchor resources for Little People Media.
But it is also because of this that, as the live broadcast economy rapidly takes off, small-time media is more likely to become the hot commodity at the center of attention.
As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind. If it hadn’t been for Principal Wang’s financing, and the connections of Huang Haoze and Chen Yuhang in Guangzhou, they would have been able to protect them from the wind and rain…
Then the development of Little People Media might not be so smooth. After all, money can move people. Without the emergence of these two second-generation people, there might be people like Bai Haoze and Lan Haoze emerging.
These factors are naturally unavoidable links in the early stage of primitive accumulation. Before Zhou Dongsheng grew up, the strong winds brought about by these factors could have knocked him to the ground.
However, as the roots of Zhou Dongsheng's big tree have become increasingly deep-rooted, it has become like "No matter how strong the wind blows from the east, west, south or north, I will remain unmoved."
In particular, the momentum gradually accumulated in the public opinion field has become a layer of protective color that cannot be ignored, which is enough to affect the hunter's judgment and make him dare not act rashly.
After all, who knows whether there is a tough guy under this protective color, or a soft persimmon that is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
In addition to Xiaorenwu Media, Yinian Media has also successfully completed its first round of financing not long ago. The scale of the first round of financing alone has reached 150 million US dollars, and has received participation from many well-known investment institutions.
As long as nothing unexpected happens, Yinian Media will undoubtedly have a promising future and bright financial prospects. And with Zhou Dongsheng around, this unexpected factor is enough to approach zero infinitely within a certain range.
Of course, this does not include natural disasters and man-made disasters that are beyond Zhou Dongsheng’s control.
After all, the lessons of history tell us that there is always someone stronger than you. Even someone like Zhou Dongsheng has his biggest nemesis.
No matter how good your kung fu is, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife. In front of the meteorite-falling technique of the Son of the Plane, all time travel and rebirth are nothing but illusions (funny).
After Yinian Media successfully completed its first round of financing, Xiaorenwu Media, a young girl "waiting to be married", has shown signs of getting married again.
After all, although the two major media companies under Zhou Dongsheng's control both focus on online media business, their emphasis and directions are completely different, and they focus on two emerging tracks that are currently rising.
Whether it is an internet anchor or an internet expert, although there are some differences between the two, they both lead to the same goal.
To a certain extent, they are all creators who use the Internet platform to create content, the only difference is the tools and content they use.
If we use the word "Internet celebrity" to sum it up, it can be said that it is pretty much the same.
Although their businesses are different, the relationship between the two major media has always been one of mutual complementation and sharing, so it is a natural thing for them to become a group.
In Zhang Xiaoguang's group structure, the two major media will together form the group's media department, further deepening their synergy and giving full play to the synergy effect of 1+1 greater than 2.
Although the process of groupization is undoubtedly beneficial to , the necessary procedures are still necessary.
Among them, the convening of the shareholders' meeting and the establishment of the board of directors are undoubtedly important factors in determining the future management structure of the group, and are also the final step in the entire group process.
After receiving Zhou Dongsheng's instructions, Zhang Xiaoguang, as the executor, naturally spread the news as soon as possible and conveyed it to all shareholders.
In this regard, the reactions of shareholders were naturally varied. Among them, the three major individual shareholders of Xiaorenmin Media were the first passengers to board Zhou Dongsheng's profit boat.
There is no doubt that the dividends are reaping the benefits, both for Xiaorenren Media itself and for those who have witnessed Zhou Dongsheng's miraculous operations in the stock market.
Or maybe later on, in a "confusion", he owned the money printing machine "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" that is now printing money continuously.
Even if we put aside the fact that they have a close personal relationship, the motivation for profit alone is enough to make them Zhou Dongsheng's absolute supporters.
These three young masters not only own shares in Xiaorenren Media, but also own shares in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Therefore, the three of them naturally have an unquestionable seat at the shareholders' meeting.
Even his seat ranking is second only to Zhou Dongsheng, so he can be considered a veteran figure, and everything is based on the principle of first come first served.
Although a number of established investment institutions are more famous, they are slightly inferior in terms of shareholding ratio and voice.
Even so, they had no reason to object. It was naturally understandable that they just selected a few representatives to participate in the shareholders' meeting to protect their own interests.
In addition, among the shareholders of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, there is also a behemoth called Pig Factory.
Compared with Zhou Dongsheng, who has just taken the step of groupization, the Zhuchang Group has undoubtedly stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking this young latecomer.
As one of the Fortune 500 companies in China and a giant in the Internet industry, the scale of Zhuchang Group is obviously unattainable. There is no comparison between the two.
It's just that the friendship with Ding Sanshi, which is of great value, makes the relationship between the two of them feel like "friendship regardless of age".
Ding Sanshi, who has always had a great appreciation for Zhou Dongsheng, does not mind continuing to increase his holdings in this potential stock.
Therefore, in order to support Zhou Dongsheng, Zhang Yi, the president of Zhuchang Games, was directly sent as a shareholder representative to attend the shareholders' meeting.
With the strong support of Zhuchang Group, the standards of the shareholders' meeting will undoubtedly be raised to more than one level, and other investment institutions will have to pay attention.
Since then, before the shareholders' meeting was even held, the group had been clearly divided into three factions.
The largest faction is naturally headed by Zhou Dongsheng, who includes three staunch supporters: Principal Wang, Huang Haoze and Chen Yuhang, as well as Xu Kaidao, Xu Ruoan, Lu Sifang, Zhang Xiaoguang and other capable assistants.
This faction is the most staunch "royalist" faction of the group, and its core is centered around Zhou Dongsheng.
In addition, there are naturally investors composed of a number of external investment institutions. Compared with the power within the group, investors are undoubtedly more concerned about their own interests.
As long as their interests are protected, everything will be fine. But once their core interests are touched, it will be another matter.
As for the third faction, the word "pig factory" alone is enough to make it a faction of its own. It is also a relatively neutral faction, ambiguous between the two.
They may be staunch "royalists" the moment before, but when it comes to safeguarding their own interests, the pig farm will certainly be unambiguous.
Although building a media group with two major media as the main body is no problem, in order to fully integrate the resources in hand and better play to one 's own advantages.
Zhou Dongsheng did not choose to drag his feet in this regard. After all, he was determined to be a hands-off boss. Therefore, groupization and the establishment of a mature management team were already urgent matters.
Therefore, in addition , the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds company was integrated with its own e-sports club to form an e-sports department.
Although the e-sports projects of IM e-sports club are not limited to the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, so far, the performance of the IM team in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds competitions is the most eye-catching.
Whether in terms of topicality or strength, in the newly established PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds competition, it can be said that it is invincible and is undoubtedly the only one in its class.
After all, the fact that Mo Zi is the only active female player in many domestic e-sports events is already very popular.
Not to mention the player Wei Shen, who has already demonstrated his outstanding talent in e-sports in the League of Legends project, and has left countless famous scenes in the Summoner's Rift.
It's just that he became famous at a young age and was easily defeated due to his excessive strength. If he succeeded, he would be Wei Shen, and if he failed, he would be Wei Jiang. He ended up being hated in the e-sports arena where winners are kings and losers are villains, and became the target of public criticism.
After making the decision to bring his e-sports talent to the Jedi Island, even the fans who had always firmly supported him were a little disappointed. They couldn't believe that Wei Shen actually chose to be a "deserter."
With such a talented young man who has been hotly discussed in the domestic e-sports field, and the added color of the beautiful player Mo Zi, this combination can be called the "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick" of e-sports.
Of course, this "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick" is definitely a compliment.
As the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has become popular all over the world and has a vast player base, the popularity of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds events is natural.
At the same time, the IM team, which was already full of topics, naturally attracted the attention of countless fans in an instant as Wei Shen's e-sports talent gradually revealed its edge.
And it's not just in China. With the popularity of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds overseas, it's natural for the IM team to gain fans overseas as well.
Especially since the story is quite legendary, Wei Shen, who was disappointed in League of Legends and wanted to prove himself again in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, has won the support of many fans.
Although he lost some fans of League of Legends, he gained more fans of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. As a result, the ID "IM, GODV" has begun to shine on the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds island.
Not to mention, there is also the existence of Mo Zi, a main female player. After all, even if we look at the world, outstanding female players in e-sports have always been rare.
The appearance of every female player can attract the attention of a large number of e-sports fans in a short period of time. If she is also good-looking, she will be a well-deserved e-sports goddess.
What's more, Mo Zi is a main player with both strength and good looks. The combination of the two makes her a crazy chicken-eating goddess in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
Her popularity around the world is even higher than that of Wei Shen. After all, there are talented players every year, but a main female player with such strength as Mo Zi is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Under the influence of Zhou Dongsheng, the butterfly, Mo Zi's career, which was originally heading for an end, has undoubtedly successfully opened a new beginning.
At the same time, as a game anchor under Xiaorenwu Media, the traffic brought by Mo Zi's super high popularity has undoubtedly made her another popular anchor under Xiaorenwu Media.
At the same time, the improvement in commercial value has made a qualitative leap, and its outstanding performance in the e-sports arena has won the favor of some gaming equipment manufacturers.
Therefore, whether it is the sponsorship of the IM team or the personal endorsements of the players, these problems were easily solved, and at the same time, it also allowed the IM chicken-eating team to come from behind and directly surpass the League of Legends division.
After all, in the e-sports arena where success or failure determines success, the law that strength is king = results are king is almost unshakable.
Compared to the high-spirited Chicken Division, the League of Legends Division's performance undoubtedly ended in the first round of the playoffs again.
This is also thanks to the presence of the main mid-lane player who was robbed from Principal Wang. Otherwise, we might have to go to the relegation zone to fight with other weak players.
After all, up to now, there are still two main players in the League of Legends division's deck who are still warming up and are in the stage of getting ready.
Therefore, with poor results, they naturally won't get much attention. After all, for the League of Legends project at this moment, only by stepping onto the world stage can they be called a strong team and gain the favor of more fans.
Of course, according to this law, as long as you achieve results, all difficulties can be overcome.
If they could turn the tide in the darkest moment of the Bird's Nest... then there is no doubt that IM will directly become the savior and become the top team in Chinese e-sports.
However, whether this beautiful vision can be realized depends on many factors, including the right time, right place, and right people...
