The story of the grand novel kingdom: Three Men a play

"Is there any interest in meeting?"

March 2008, a low and slightly hoarse voice from the head of the phone, the caller is Chen, answering the phone is still in the ideal international Building office Hou Qiang.

Previously, Chen has been looking for a role: the person should be familiar with online content, but also have the ability to integrate, preferably in a large company, rather than to sell their own literary sites like the birth of Robin.

Chen Tianqiao phase Hou Qiang long. March 2005, after 45 days of planning and arrangements, Chen presided over the grand Board of directors, openly in the open market to acquire 19.5% of Sina's stake in the industry is a tough wind. At that time, Sina blog, the rise of the Tube Sina blog is the then Vice editor-in-chief of Sina Hou.

Chen Tianqiao has been looking for Hou three times altogether. The third meeting place, during the Chen to attend the Beijing "two sessions" during the hotel. He opened the door, looking out of the window rolling traffic feeling: If China's culture can also be like in this elevated overpass on the same way, it would be good.

And Chen overpass three meeting, let Hou chest up waves: one is in Sina so stay, in the stock rights dispersed Sina system, it is also difficult to go up; the other was, then, the Chen overpass on the Hurun list to create a new field.

Hou Xiao Qiang echocardiography.

Hou three cards

and Chen overpass short farewell, Hou and Sina CEO Cao Chao also saw three times, expressed to Italy. July 2008, and Chen overpass that departure 4 months later, Hou and Chen overpass hand. Chen also for the arrival of Hou came to Beijing to open a grand conference. The scale is no less than the same in this hotel to greet Tang June.

Chen said that, unlike 5 years ago, Tang June, 5 years ago, he is a guest, I am the owner, and 5 years after the Hou Qiang, he is the owner, I am a shareholder.

An insider said, Hou Sina in charge of the blog, is the business model of pioneering hands, and in Hou and Chen overpass communication, Hou philosophy and philosophy let Chen eyes bright.

Hou came to the grand literature to play three cards, one is a lawsuit, for copyright protection; The second is the design of charging mode, so that the content of the copyright to become present; the third is business integration, so that Shanda literature more stories and concepts, to prepare for listing.

Chen to hou small strength of time is 3-4 years, but later proved that Chen Tianqiao overestimate the Hou integration ability. 2010, the beginning of some large grassroots writers to flee, leaving the starting point, Chen Tianqiao to Hou Xiao Qiang patted the table.

Hou in culture indeed and the beginning of the grand acquisition of the network novel Web site is not a genre. and Hou into the grand after too radical play also let Hou into the passive, both sides embattled.

In order to protect copyright and for the grand literary influence, Hou Xiao Qiang "dozen" Google and Baidu, which is external enemies. In order to speed up the revenue, do the listing, Hou offended a large number of coexistence with the beginning of the grassroots writers, this is ecological destruction. And more serious is, in order to be able to speed up integration, Hou Xiao Qiang encountered the founder of the Royal Literature website Resistance, this is internal worry.

2009, has gone some founders. But Chen Tianqiao and Hou are unaware of the underlying problems. Business integration, some people go, this is not surprising. But the domestic network literature culture comes from the grassroots, and the network literature business model is also based on the grassroots writer. It can be said that grassroots writers are ecological. Under the effect of grassroots culture, the founder's influence is enormous.

Wu Wenhui good operation?

Unlike other founders, Wu Wenhui was born in Zhejiang Business family, from an early age to hold the "laugh proud" of his character in a martial arts, but also because of reading martial arts, let Wu Wenhui after graduating from Peking University to embark on the network novel Entrepreneurial Road. At the beginning, Wu Wenhui is very good at starting with the grassroots writers gather together, often eating and drinking, and cultural circles tied tighter.

But some other grand voice said, Wu Wenhui lacks the big picture, is the business expert, but is not the strategy master, good "the technique" is bad "slightly", this is also Chen Tianqiao and did not employ Wu Wenhui to do the grand literature leader's reason. In addition, Chen Flyover is more willing to believe their intuition, outsiders more suitable for integration of the original warlords of the situation.

In fact, Chen has not wanted to be in the integration of grand literature and Wu Wenhui such a strong personality of the founder has too fierce contradictions. Cool six has been made once, but cool six assets are tangible assets, and the starting point of the assets mainly in the human and writer ecology. This time, Chen flyover can not be more attention.

Wu Wenhui did not explain the reasons for leaving the media. According to an insider said, Chen flyover to Wu Wenhui sent a letter, hope to properly resolve, do not talk to the media casually. At present, Wu Wenhui also owns the options given by Chen Tianqiao. This is also the "gift" that Chen Tianqiao uses as the aftermath.

But Hou apparently did not stabilize Wu Wenhui. March 1, Wu Wenhui took some starting point of the directory contact Chen Flyover, said to go. But has not waited for Chen flyover out of the cards, Hou on the solo held Grand Literature board, said agreed to Wu Wenhui leave. Hou will be Chen Flyover army.

One is holding the chips of the general, one is his own please yin good phase. Hou Qiang is more loyal and safe than Wu Wenhui, and will not exert drastic means to himself. Chen there is no reason not to tilt to hou. Even if there is a risk of a short-term start to turbulence.

The ideal of Chen Tianqiao is going away

4 years ago, the integration of Chen flyover calm, and "big" tang June broke up peacefully, and nearly two years, Chen Tianqiao integration encountered frequent resistance. Perhaps, this is the problem that Chen Tianqiao should think about.

This is also the 4 years, Shanda from the drastic merger route, into shrinking business to build a holding platform, which is Chen to the "Disney strategy" self-denial. And Chen Tianqiao, more should reflect on the impact of their own personality on the enterprise.

1999, in Shanghai Pudong New Area Academy of Sciences, a three-bedroom room, Chen couple and brother Danian, Tan, Guanghei began a grand road. Now, Guanghei and Tan have left.

Bo, a well-known internet user, described Chen Tianqiao as a pragmatic idealist. Because of the ideal, began to start a business, build online Disney, and has acquired Sina, but also because of pragmatic, stubborn, tough character, so that a member of the family with him away from the grand.

"If you let Chen believe in your direction, you have to compromise him 1.1 points and move slowly, eventually letting him change consciousness and think it's his own decision," said a former grand officer. However, in the domestic Internet rapid competition and continuous product change, this obviously takes time.

So, leave Chen and grand time still long?
