My Age of Investment

  Chapter 1410: Going to Nanyang

   After receiving the call from Xia Jingxing, Li Xiaodong was overjoyed and gathered all the employees of the company to go to the door of the company to welcome the God of Fortune.

   Hearing that Xia Jingxing was coming to the company to inspect the work, the employees were all elated, with smiles on their faces, and they were all ready to take this opportunity to see the richest man in Asia up close and get rich luck by the way.

   It was said that the whole company was dispatched. In fact, there were not many people in Li Xiaodong’s company, and there were less than 20 people in total.

   Although the company is small, it is a rising star who has received investment from the richest man in Asia. Everyone feels that the company and themselves have a bright future.

  On weekdays, the CEO of the company, Li Xiaodong, also made a big cake for the employees. He told the story of Xia Jingxing’s three-minute decision to invest in Garena. Even the richest man in Asia is optimistic about the company. How can the future be bad?

   However, it has been two years since Xia Jingxing’s investment. The old employees are getting colder, and they find that the pie the boss draws is no longer delicious, and Mr. Xia obviously doesn’t care about the development of a small company.

   No matter how successful or legendary Xia Jingxing is, it has nothing to do with their company.

   Today, I suddenly heard the news that Xia Jingxing was coming, and many people's beliefs that had been extinguished were rekindled.

   It turned out that what the boss said was true, the company's backstage was really hard, and Mr. Xia didn't forget the small company he invested in.

  …

   When Xia Jingxing appeared, Li Xiaodong led more than a dozen employees to applaud in unison, giving out an overwhelming cheer.

  Xia Jingxing waved his hand in return, and looked at these enthusiastic employees.

   One can count how many people there are at a glance. Xia Jingxing feels that the development of Garena Company is still too slow, and the total number of employees is almost not as large as the entourage he brought.

   "Daren, long time no see."

  Li Xiaodong took a few steps forward with a smile on his face, and held out his hands towards Xia Jingxing.

   "Yeah, we haven't seen each other for two years, haven't we? I happened to be in Singapore in the past few days, and I came here to see you."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and shook hands with Li Xiaodong, speaking in a very kind tone.

   Seeing that Xia Jingxing didn't ask about Chen Ou, Li Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief.

   Last year, he broke up with Chen Ou completely. Chen Ou resold all the shares he held to him and quit the online game platform GGgame he founded.

After becoming the actual controller of the company, in order to completely remove the imprint of Chen Ou, Li Xiaodong first changed the name of the company to Garena, and then worried that there might be hidden dangers, so he liquidated the original company and re-registered this year. Garena, the company of the same name, gave up the game battle platform and began to transform into a game agent.

   This series of changes, Envision Capital, as a shareholder of the company, are all aware of it.

  The conflict between the two founders intensified last year. As a director of the company, Fu Jixun also personally came forward to mediate the conflict between Li Xiaodong and Chen Ou. Unfortunately, the differences between the two sides were too great and the mediation work ended in failure.

   After all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and there must be one between Li Xiaodong and Chen Ou.

  Li Xiaodong thought that he was worthy of Chen Ou, so he pieced together hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy the shares in Chen Ou's hands. He didn't go to court, and he didn't play any tricks of vacating the cage and changing the bird. Everyone had a good time.

   Infighting in the founder team is a big loss in the eyes of investors.

  If Xia Jingxing and Envision Capital feel that Li Xiaodong is unreliable, it is very normal to give up him and Garena Company.

   But Vision Capital did not do this, and after the transfer of shares to the new company Garena, it is still supporting the development of Garena.

   However, this can only represent the attitude of Vision Capital, Li Xiaodong is a little uncertain about Xia Jingxing's personal true attitude.

   After he parted ways with Chen Ou last year, Xia Jingxing, who had been in contact with him from time to time, suddenly cut off contact.

   He didn't know if Xia Jingxing was too busy with his work, or if he had any opinion on him.

   A bunch of questions were buried in Li Xiaodong's heart, but he dared not take the initiative to ask Xia Jingxing.

   Compared with two years ago, the gap between the identities of the two sides has become more disparate, so he usually deals with Fu Jixun.

   Since the other party is still willing to come to Garena to inspect the work today, he should have no bad impression of himself, right?

  Li Xiaodong didn't dare to ask any more questions, and he welcomed Xia Jingxing into the company in an uneasy mood.

   After a brief visit to various departments and a few cordial chats with the staff, Xia Jingxing followed Li Xiaodong into his personal office.

   As soon as he entered the room and sat down, Li Xiaodong began to plead guilty while testing Xia Jingxing's true attitude.

   "Daren, I'm a little disappointed in you. The company has hardly achieved any development achievements in the past two years. There are still some disagreements between Chen Ou and I. This matter..."

  Xia Jingxing suddenly waved his hand and interrupted: "Don't mention the past, GGgame has become Garena, you also decided to start a new business in the game agency field, and the previous things have been completely turned over.

   As an investor, what I want to see is a new look, an excellent startup company that is unstoppable in the game agency industry. "

   Hearing what Xia Jingxing said, Li Xiaodong completely put his heart into his stomach.

   As long as Xia Jingxing is willing to continue to support him, he is not only interested in the capital power of Vision Capital, but also in the huge game resources in the hands of domestic games.

   Today’s domestic games have mastered several popular games in the Chinese market. Just introducing one or two of them to Southeast Asia is enough for Garena to survive the most difficult initial stage of business.

Xia Jingxing really didn't want to care about the matter between Li Xiaodong and Chen Ou anymore. The duo said that the public was right, and the mother said that the mother was right. It was difficult for investors to be caught in the middle. what's going on.

   And after the separation, both of them will become famous in the future. Maybe they are the opposite of Mo Jin's captain, and they belong to "death if they are together, and life if they are divided."

  The two of them develop their own careers, and there is no disagreement or dispute between them. Everyone is a person who speaks for one-third of an acre of land. Only in this way can the company work hard, avoid internal friction, and continue to move to a higher level.

   After some gossip, Xia Jingxing asked, "Garena has now transformed into a game agent, what are you going to do next?"

  Li Xiaodong gritted his teeth and asked boldly: "Daren, we want to introduce online games under the domestic game to operate in Southeast Asia.

   It’s just that we are short of funds and can’t afford the agency fee. Can we distribute the account after the agency? "

  Xia Jingxing said with a smile: "This is somewhat unethical!"

   Hearing this, Li Xiaodong's eyes dimmed a lot.

"but……"

   Xia Jing's words turned and said: "It's not that this precedent can't be set!"

   Li Xiaodong looked at Xia Jingxing expectantly, and said without exaggeration that a word from the other party could decide the life and death of a company.

   "Each of the online games under the domestic game is a high-quality product, and it kills the Quartet in China. Now the online game going overseas has been officially put on the agenda by the domestic game.

  There are two ways to go to sea, to issue by yourself or to find a partner to issue it.

   At present, the executives of domestic games are divided into two factions over these two plans. If Garena wants to successfully obtain the game agency, she needs to come up with something convincing. "

  Li Xiaodong said excitedly: "Daren, although Garena is a new company, it has inherited the user resources and fame of GGgame.

   If domestic games entrust us with the Southeast Asia agency rights of their online games, you can rest assured that we will never humiliate these games. "

  Xia Jingxing thought for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "Okay, since you are so confident, let's give you a game to try.

   However, you still need to go back to China and show your agency plan to domestic games. "

  Li Xiaodong smiled and said, "Daren, thank you for your support and trust!"

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "Besides the agency game, do you have any other ideas?"

   "Not yet, we can't chew too much, my team and I want to do a good job in the game business wholeheartedly now.

   Will not consider entering other fields until the game business has a firm foothold.

   We don’t have much money now, the only thing we have is our focus and devotion to the game. "

  Xia Jingxing nodded, the future Southeast Asian Internet overlord Sea Donghai Group is as fragile as a newborn at this time. Shopee.com and mobile payment are all things after the game business has been fully established.

  In the past life, this company can rise in Southeast Asia and become a complex of Penguin + Alipay + Alipay in Southeast Asia, which is completely inseparable from the strong support of Penguin.

   Just being the exclusive agent of all the popular games of Penguin can eat up other game companies in Southeast Asia.

  When the game business makes money, Donghai Group has the capital to test the water e-commerce and digital financial business.

   As a result, the Donghai Group in the previous life was the penguin's number one horse in Southeast Asia, learning from the penguin everywhere. Penguin's shareholding in this company is as high as 40%, which is higher than that of founder Li Xiaodong.

   However, although Donghai Group has copied countless successful Internet business models in China, it lacks the key link of instant messaging.

   This has a lot to do with Garena's rise too late, even if you want to copy all the penguins, you can't do it.

  When Garena was firmly in the game dominance and turned his attention to other Internet segments, he found that the instant messaging market in Southeast Asia had been carved up by Facebook and an Internet company from a great country.

   Thinking of this, Xia Jingxing hesitated for a while, should WeChat go to sea earlier?

   Even if they can’t compete in the European and American markets, at least they will occupy the Southeast Asian and Japanese markets.

  Xia Jingxing glanced at Li Xiaodong, if WeChat wants to enter the Southeast Asian market, the leading party is essential.

  Do you want to let Haihai Holdings transfer a group of key employees to open up a base in Southeast Asia in the name of assisting Garena?

  The coverage of smartphones is not enough in this area for the time being, but you can learn from the Chinese market and promote MOMO voice first, which is just right with the online games promoted by Garena.

  Which country the game represented by Garena is promoted to, the MOMO voice will go to which country.

   The more Xia Jingxing thought about it, the more he felt that this was feasible, and he deeply implemented the spirit of "entering the village quietly, and don't want to shoot."

   And the customs and humanities of Southeast Asian countries are not the same, and some things will be related to religion.

   In short, going to sea is quite troublesome, and it is definitely not wrong to prepare more in advance.

  A small Internet company in Bangzi country can staking a horse in Southeast Asia. It makes no sense that a Chinese company cannot.

  What the pony can't do, doesn't mean I can't do it, and it's better to go to sea sooner rather than later, there is more time to tolerate mistakes and learn to correct.

  Thinking of this, Xia Jingxing made up his mind completely and sent his teacher to Nanyang.

   "Forrest, I just thought about it, and I think your pace of development is still a little slow. I have an acceleration plan now, would you like to hear it?"

   "Of course you have to listen, Daeron, give us some advice."

  …

   I'm too sleepy, so I'll have an update today and make up for it during the day.
