Chapter 1079 Confidentiality(1/2)
The company has been operating for hundreds of years and has accumulated too much experience. When necessary, just make appropriate modifications based on past experience.
Soon, He Yang came up with the rules and regulations regarding the confidentiality of Ziweixing's business.
There were two items that surprised Zhou Buqi.
The first one is about executive meetings.
When meetings involving major decisions and strategies of the company are held, no one participating in the meeting is allowed to bring their mobile phones into the meeting.
Obviously, this is to prevent someone from eavesdropping.
Zhou Buqi was a little surprised, "Is it necessary?"
He Yang said: "This is Meng Houkun's suggestion."
Then, explain it.
It is very easy to eavesdrop on mobile phones. You do not need to install any software. As long as you install a mobile phone card, you can monitor in real time through satellite signals. Ordinary people definitely cannot do this, but I am afraid that some businessmen have connections and can use public power to
Private use.
The second article is about investors and small shareholders.
Generally speaking, investors are the parents of startup companies and the people who spend money. They have reason to know where every money is spent and what it is used for.
This is very necessary.
There are many start-up companies that are unruly. Some entrepreneurs were so proud after raising funds that they took the investors' money and first bought themselves a Mercedes-Benz.
There are many behaviors that randomly waste investors' money.
Therefore, in many investment agreements, it is clearly marked that investors must be notified in a timely manner of every capital movement of the startup company.
Some investors will even tightly control finances and restrict the entrepreneurial team from spending money at the source.
When Ziweixing launched its A round, it was already a large company and had full confidence.
Naturally, there are no such harsh conditions.
However, out of respect for investors, Ziweixing has informed investors of most of its capital movements in the past year as soon as possible.
This is the norm in the industry.
However, there is a big problem here!
There are loopholes to exploit!
It is true that the investors are parents, but they have many children and will invest in many companies. After raising so many children, there will inevitably be some close relatives.
The higher the share you hold, the closer you are!
For example, a venture capital institution's share in company A is 3%, and its share in company B is 30%. There is a difference between closeness and distance.
If the two companies have certain business overlap, it would be dangerous.
Investors have grasped the development trend of Company A and found that there is a new business that is very promising. For the sake of their own interests, they may remind Company B and tell them that this direction is very marketable and ask them to follow up quickly.
This is a traitor!
Why was it so easy for Ziweixing to sell its shares in Kuliu? It only took half a month for Shanda to spend 200 million to acquire all the shares.
Shanda's desire to control Kuliu is only part of the story.
On the other hand, Ziweixing holds 20% of Youku's shares and only holds 10% of Kuliu's shares. This is a big difference. What if Shanda designs an amazing business model for Kuliu and Ziweixing
MSI secretly told Youku, wouldn’t it be a huge loss?
There are no secrets on the Internet.
In addition to the frequent turnover of employees and the fact that they all know each other, another very important point is that there are hundreds of Internet companies and a dozen venture capital institutions overhead.
The centralization of information is too high.
Is there any secret left?
It has been a full year since Ziweixing introduced capital and obtained financing. In the past year, Zhou Buqi did not care too much and explained clearly to investors where their money was spent in accordance with industry regulations.
Because this is the PC era.
At present, Ziweixing is already an unshakable giant. The launch of Ziweixing's new products relies on its own ecosystem and is driven by the traffic of Friends Network, Weidian, and Xiaonei Network.
"First impression" is no longer important.
However, mobile Internet does not work.
A big difference between PC Internet and mobile Internet is that on PC, users can jump to any web page without any obstacles.
Jump from helo to friends network, from school network to encyclopedia of embarrassing things, from micro point to rice ball network... there will be no obstacles in these processes.
But the mobile Internet era is different. Each app is an independent app, and it is difficult to jump between different apps.
In other words, in the mobile Internet era, independent apps will be allowed to exist.
Whoever gets into the trap first will have the advantage.
The cost of entering the pit first is very low, just jump in and occupy the pit. If you wait for someone else to occupy the pit and then want to grab it, the cost will be high.
Ziweixing was born a few years later than BAT.
Therefore, in the PC Internet era, even if Zhou Buqi had the foresight, Ziweixing did not have any outstanding advantages compared to bat.
Weidian cannot beat Baidu, and Helo cannot beat QQ.
The real rise is in the era of mobile Internet!
Now, iphone3g has been launched.
The world's first Android phone Aster will also be released at the end of October.
The wave of mobile Internet is about to begin!
This time, Zhou Buqi was not polite.
It’s time to roll up your sleeves and let go!
The first thing to solve is the internal problem.
Keep it secret!
Don't worry, I came up with a lot of good ideas by relying on foresight, but then someone tipped me off and told others...
Investors and small shareholders must keep business operations confidential!
The benefits of the right to know have been cancelled!
Even if they are accountable to the board of directors, they will only provide financial documents of large business departments, how much they spent and how much they earned, and that is enough.
As for the development and growth rate of the business, how many new users have been added, what new projects have been launched, including personnel transfers in some important positions, they cannot be disclosed.
For example, Zhou Buqi values Fu Hongliang very much.
If one day Zhou Buqi assigns Fu Hongliang to work on the video business... it will be too obvious. This must mean that Ziweixing will operate the video website as the most important strategic direction.
In short, keep it as secret as possible.
Ziweixing is only responsible to the decision-making committee.
The board of directors only needs to look at the financial report and approve some aspects such as income, expenses, employee benefits, etc.
"Okay, just do it!"
Zhou Buqi waved his hand and made the decision.
As a result, investors will definitely be unhappy.
It doesn't matter anymore.
Zhou Buqi no longer plans to launch C-round financing for Ziweixing.
This wave of secret investments in the United States is a big deal!
If this is done, we can get enough development funds for Ziweixing in the next few years. In a few years, when the mobile Internet becomes popular and money will be burned everywhere, we can directly go public and raise funds.
That’s it!
He Yang said with a smile: "We must leave some room. If investors want to know something, they can apply. Only after approval can they obtain permission to read relevant materials."
Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, I think it will work!"
…
During the recent period, Zhou Buqi has to stay in the capital.
I want to help Xu Baihui do something big.
Ease the conflict between Huayi and Chengtian.
Xu Baihui wants to be the queen of the entertainment industry, but this industry is really unfriendly to women. Many times, people only respect her on the surface and make irresponsible remarks behind her back.
She still needs to rely on men to help her control the situation.
Huayi's Wang brothers are nice and loyal, and they take good care of her on many occasions.
If another giant, Cheng Tian, can also have such respect for her, then her status will be established.
To be continued...
