Chapter 353

"How is Jin Shan now?"

Li Dongling pulled a chair and sat beside Lei Jun.

Upon hearing this, Lei Jun's face showed helplessness and depression again. The days at Jin Shan are estimated to be even harder than when he was doing new energy vehicles and was besieged by several major sects.

After all, even if the car business failed, he was the cash king of Yanjing, lying on the account with 140 billion cold RMB, and also invested in hundreds of companies such as ByteDance, NIO, Huolala, Kuaishou, iQIYI, YY, Zhihu, etc. If all were cashed out, it is estimated that he could add a few more 100 billion cold on the account.

Not to mention these cold hundreds of billions, even if the 140 billion cold cash flow on the account, theoretically, according to the market value, can buy two Geely cars that besieged Xiaomi cars, and can buy the entire SAIC Group.

It can also acquire three Xiaopengs, two NIOs, or buy 80% of the equity of Changan Automobile, or buy one and a half Seres, 4.5 Jianghuai Automobile factories, 3.5 Yutong Automobiles, 12 Zotye, 56 Evergrande Automobiles, 4 Yadea, 4.5 Leapmotor, two Zeekr, etc., a group of companies related to cars.

As for whether these companies will sell themselves, when more than 100 billion cold cash is placed in front of the presidents of major car companies, who is not confused? These listed car companies have to cash out in various ways for many years to earn this money.

Except for BYD, as well as state-owned car companies, no other car company can withstand such a gold-dollar offensive.

But now Jin Shan, if it falls, then Lei Shen and Qiu Bojun and all the hard work of everyone in Jin Shan will be in vain. Jin Shan did not go public, and his equity could not be cashed out.

It is impossible for him to leave Jin Shan "confused and downcast" after Jin Shan goes public, with only 40 billion cash cashed out from selling Excellence Net, Jin Shan stocks, etc. to comfort himself...

Everyone present today, except Yu Minhong, are people in the circle, and Jin Shan's current situation, everyone can guess roughly. After all, Jin Shan's running around for investment cannot be hidden at all.

"Not very good!"

"Jin Shan office software, we are re-developing, but it takes time and R&D funds. Now Boss Zhang is looking for new investors for Jin Shan!" Lei Jun said to Li Dongling.

Everyone present today, except Yu Minhong, were invited by Li Dongling. The person surnamed Zhang in his mouth is Zhang Xuanlong, known as the "Godfather of Zhongguancun".

From Sitong to Lenovo, to the listing of Founder, they were all operated by Zhang Xuanlong. He is also the founder of Jin Shan. Although Zhang Xuanlong is from Hong Kong, the storms in the Zhongguancun Jianghu are all related to him. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a figure who can influence the Zhongguancun pattern now.

Now Zhang Xuanlong is looking for new investors for Jin Shan, but to be honest, Zhang Xuanlong's relationship network is all in Zhongguancun.

And Zhongguancun has the strength to pull Jin Shan, left and right, it is just Sitong, Lenovo, and Founder, and they all have inextricable relations with Zhang Xuanlong. Without accidents, Zhang Xuanlong will definitely use his relationship network to pull one of them to save Jin Shan.

In the previous life, Lenovo, due to Zhang Xuanlong's relationship, invested 4.5 million US dollars in Jin Shan and took away 30% of Jin Shan's equity.

If the timeline is lengthened, put it ten or twenty years later, Lenovo is definitely profitable. After Jin Shan went public, as the number one domestic general software company, Jin Shan's stock price soared all the way, but in the few years after the investment, Jin Shan was still trapped in losses.

Even if it launched a new generation of WPS office software and regained market share, because of rampant piracy, Jin Shan was still losing a mess.

In order to make money, in order to let Jin Shan survive, Jin Shan has done everything, but it failed four times to impact the listing. Even if it could finally go public, it was not relying on the software business, but on games. The game revenue brought by the Xishanju game studio made Jin Shan successful in listing.

And at that time, the outside world did not treat Jin Shan as a software giant, but as a game company. At the beginning of the listing, Jin Shan's market value was only about 5 billion Hong Kong dollars.

After Lei Shen finished speaking, his heart also had some speculation about why Li Dongling invited him here this time.

Li Dongling looked at Lei Shen, "Inviting you over today, there are some things I want to discuss with Jin Shan!"

"Dongling High-Tech has just reached a new cooperation project with Engineer Wang to develop domestic printers!"

"I hope that Jin Shan can join this project and develop printer driver software for Lingyun printers. Of course, I know that Jin Shan is at an important node of developing a new generation of office software, and the manpower is very tight, but Lingyun printers are willing to pay a considerable R&D reward for this."

"In addition, Dongling High-Tech is willing to invest 3 million US dollars in Jin Shan in exchange for 30% of Jin Shan's equity. I hope that in the future, Jin Shan can have more cooperation projects with Dongling High-Tech!"

Li Dongling said to Lei Shen. After hearing this, Lei Shen's throat moved violently, and his face showed joy. He wanted to agree immediately, but Jin Shan's current head is Qiu Bojun, and the major shareholder is Zhang Xuanlong. He has to wait for their consent.

"I need to report this matter to the headquarters!" Lei Shen said, suppressing his joy, and went directly outside to make a phone call.

Li Dongling looked at Lei Shen's figure. Dongling High-Tech's investment in Jin Shan is not for the revenue after Jin Shan goes public more than ten years later.

It is to borrow Jin Shan's software development ability to develop office, industrial software, mobile operating systems, etc. for companies under Dongling High-Tech.

If you want to talk about the domestic software industry, there are a few companies that dare to fight hard against Microsoft and other overseas software giants. It is estimated that there are only a few companies like Jin Shan.

Not only developing operating software for printers, but also EDA software platforms for the chip industry. Designing chips cannot be separated from EDA software, including chip design, simulation, verification, and other large and small processes and links, all of which need to use EDA software.

Different links correspond to different EDA software. Without these EDA software platforms, even if there is a lithography machine, chips cannot be produced.

Like in the future, designing a 14nm chip costs 200 million US dollars. A 7nm chip, the process has doubled, but the cost has tripled, reaching 600 million US dollars. This is still R&D with the help of EDA software. If there is no such software, you need to use human sea tactics to complete the work originally run by software, and the R&D cost will increase by more than 200 times!

And now even office software is controlled by companies like Microsoft, let alone industrial software. It is almost a desert in the country. Now overseas companies that develop EDA software are willing to authorize domestic use, but what about the future? What if one day, overseas EDA software companies prohibit Dongxin Semiconductor from using it?!

Li Dongling has to plan ahead and must make preparations in advance. Dongxin Semiconductor needs to have its own EDA software. It can be not advanced, and the efficiency can be not high, but it must have it.

And looking at the entire domestic software industry, who can be pulled to help develop EDA, and who dares to fight hard against overseas software giants, besides the head-iron Jin Shan, who else can there be?!

Besides these, the mobile operating system under Dongling High-Tech also needs an R&D team. If Jin Shan can be pulled to join, the R&D ability can be increased by a large margin.

"The Jin Shan board of directors agreed to Mr. Li's investment, but the specific cooperation still needs to be discussed in detail after meeting!"

Lei Shen soon returned from outside and said to Li Dongling with a smile. The whole person seemed to be relieved. With this investment from Dongling High-Tech, Jin Shan doesn't have to worry about the risk of running out of food for a year or two.

"The domestic software industry is probably not going to have a good time in the future. Even if Jin Shan develops a new generation of WPS office software that can surpass Microsoft's Office, it is estimated that it will be good but not popular. It can get market share and be accepted by users, but because of the existence of pirated software, it may not make money!"

Li Dongling's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Lei Shen, who was still in the excitement. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he also knew that Li Dongling was probably telling the truth.

In the current genuine software environment in the country, even if Jin Shan defeats Microsoft office software, how many paid genuine office software can be sold? At most, hundreds of thousands of sets, and then there is piracy everywhere.

"In addition, in order to deal with competitors, Microsoft has always been unscrupulous. If Jin Shan really defeats Microsoft in office software, then even if Microsoft doesn't make money, I am afraid it won't let Jin Shan have a good time!" Li Dongling said.

The excitement that Jin Shan had temporarily survived the difficulty just now disappeared, and Lei Shen's face was full of helplessness, and even a little despair.

Lei Shen knew that if he really lost in office software, Microsoft would definitely be able to smash the pot in the country. It would rather let the office software piracy be rampant, and not let Jin Shan earn this money.
