when Wang Jianlin visited gree, he thought it would attract gree employees to watch, but he was surprised.
Dong Mingzhu explained that young girls in the office are concerned about whether Sicong from your family will come or not, so don't be angry.
Wang Jianlin never imagined that the day when his son was more famous than his father came so early.
1988 was the tenth year of China's reform and opening up.
In this year, Wang Jianlin volunteered to be the general manager of Xigang District Residential Development Company, and since then, he has stepped into the circle of real estate, and Dalian Wanda Group was born.
Also in this year, the only son of Wang Jianlin and Lin Ning was born in Dalian, Liaoning Province, named Wang Sicong.
a gentleman has Jiu Si: he thinks clearly, listens attentively, looks gentle, looks respectful, speaks loyally, respects things, doubts and questions, and feels resentful and difficult, which is what he sees.
At that time, although Wang Jianlin was not the richest man, he was also in charge of a large group, starting the rectification of enterprises, making drastic reforms, and was busy with everything.
Wang Sicong was put out of custody before he could remember. At the age of 2, she was in a boarding kindergarten, and at the age of 5, she went to a primary school in Singapore. She got used to living alone at an early age.
At that time, he didn't even know how much money he had at home, so he later said, "My father was really tolerant of me. Except for the old son, there was inevitably some guilt. I was a victim of my parents' entrepreneurship."
In middle school, Wang Sicong went to Winchester College, the oldest aristocratic school in Britain. But growing up independently, he obviously doesn't like the activities of various drama choirs in this boys' school, let alone actively integrate into the local circle of British gentlemen.
In the middle of the night of 24, the supervisor of Winchester College was urging students to go to bed, but a small boy with yellow skin refused to go to bed as usual. As usual, he turned on his computer and skillfully visited the overseas Chinese forum at the top of the collection column.
This little boy is Wang Sicong.
In order to relieve his loneliness, he looked for the translation of subtitle groups on the Internet. I posted a post: "I have participated in the production of FANSUB in Britain and France, and I can do any job except Japanese translation. I have good broadband and machine conditions. I am 16 years old and have plenty of online time. I am scheduled to be the first turn of "Yong Wu Negotiator". "
"I'm Wang Jianlin's son" he added at the end.
The days when I translated cartoons into English made Wang Sicong fascinated by things like the second dimension and online games and e-sports. Because he spent more time online, Wang Sicong gradually fell in love with games. In an interview, he admitted that he was like a diaosi, playing games at home.
Later, Wang Sicong got full marks in IELTS, and studied at University College London, a top British university, majoring in philosophy and minoring in Japanese. At that time, Wang Sicong was not rich, slim, with long hair, melancholy temperament, and a literary youth.
Wang Sicong certainly didn't think at that time that such a background of studying abroad brought him a very different way of thinking from China tradition.
The return from study tour is the beginning of Wang Sicong's transformation from Wen Qing to a businessman.
In 29, after studying in Britain, Wang Sicong returned to China and became a director of Wanda Group, but he was not responsible for any specific affairs.
At that time, the idle constantly chauffeured manner not only failed to make a convincing achievement, but also angered many senior executives, who went to Wang Jianlin every now and then to complain.
So Wang Jianlin thought of a way to give him 5 million yuan to start his own business and experience the hardships of life. If he fails, he will honestly go back to Wanda to work.
however, it never occurred to me that this 5 million yuan has become the key money that caused the explosion of e-sports industry in China.
On December 4th, 29, Wang Sicong established a PE fund, Pusi Investment.
He began to devote more energy to his work, so as to quadruple this 5 million yuan and give Lao Zi some color to see. The first phase of 5 million RMB fund invested in four projects: Global Digital, Yunyou Holdings, Jiuhao Group and Wuxi Hargood New Technology Co., Ltd.
Outside of work, the rest of the time is basically for entertainment, such as playing e-sports, such as socializing in Weibo.
unexpectedly, the turning point was detonated in "entertainment".
During the two busiest years in Weibo, Wang Sicong, a playboy, often showed off his wealth in Weibo: 3, computers and private jets ... but showing off his wealth alone was not enough.
The changed node is arguing with Zhang Lan and Wang Xiaofei.
In October, 211, Wang Xiaofei and Da S were married at the Wanda Hilton Sanya.
At that time, some media broke the news that the wedding was very expensive and extravagant. To this end, Wang Xiaofei's mother, Zhang Lan, specifically clarified that the whole wedding cost no more than 1 million yuan. "I am very good with Wanda's chairman. His hotel is sponsored free of charge, and South Beauty has arranged a banquet, which will definitely give preferential treatment. The wedding ring of Big S is also sponsored. It was designed by my goddaughter Wan Baobao. The wedding planning is also sponsored by the company for free, but we will still give some money because they work too hard. "
Wang Sicong is angry. Isn't this nonsense?
in the early morning of April 4th, Wang Sicong blasted Zhang Lan's remarks that "the Big S Wedding Hotel was sponsored by Wang Jianlin for free". The author claims that it is a pure rumor, and Zhang has never met his father, let alone a "good relationship". At the same time, he also vehemently scolded that there is nothing wrong with holding a high-profile wedding in Zhang Lan, but "it's no use taking advantage of others' reputation", and both Zhang Lan and Wang Xiaofei are "pretending to be X".
After this remark, dude Wang Sicong
became popular overnight, and his fans soared from more than 5, to nearly 27, at present.
Wang Jianlin is a versatile man, but Wang Sicong is very angry. His profile is "outspoken, young and frivolous".
The reporter asked him, "Didn't your father tell you to be careful what you say and do?" Wang Sicong laughed. "My father said no matter what I said, he just didn't scold his friends." But after a while, Wang Jianlin couldn't help him. "You can scold my friends, but don't name them."
As a victim of his parents' pioneering work, Wang Sicong seems to be a little rebellious. He was willful and outspoken in Weibo, and won the support of many diaosi who hated the rich.
the rich second generation is not easy to be, but he has set a style for himself: arrogance.
Wang Jianlin loves football. In 1998, the darkness of the stadium made the Wanda dynasty, which had just started, chilling. He once resigned from China football.
twenty years later, Wang Sicong won the top spot in sports, and his battlefield was not football, but e-sports.
the destinies of the two generations meet in the dark.
in August, 211, Wang Sicong announced "strong entry and integration of e-sports" at the Weibo.
He acquired the e-sports club CCM, which was on the verge of dissolution at that time, changed its name to IG, and appointed Sun Liwei as CEO, focusing on three projects, StarCraft II, DOTA and League of Legends, to open up the field of e-sports.
At that time, the e-sports industry in China had not been recognized by the society. Especially after 24, e-sports programs were banned, and the "no Internet addiction" campaign prevailed, and e-sports in China ushered in a cold winter.
Professional e-sports players usually eat their last meal without a next meal. The "training base" is just a rented house of tens of square meters. Without sponsorship, the monthly basic salary is only 1,5, and the salary of top players will not exceed 3,. However, almost everyone has to keep intensive training for more than 1 hours a day, and their living expenses basically depend on the bonus from participating in the competition. If the competition fails, the hard work for several months will be wasted.
In that dark age when there was no light and hope, some people gritted their teeth and persisted, but more talented teenagers with dreams fell into the cruel reality.
Wang Sicong was full of blood and plunged into it, saying, "I want to increase the income of the players and make this circle a little more benign. Otherwise, the players have no money to take, and the club has no money to take, so the industry can only die slowly. But no one wanted to come into this circle at that time, so I came. "
Many e-sports organizations are facing the risk of dissolution due to lack of funds. Wang Sicong saved IG and changed the e-sports industry. He bid for money on a large scale, and IG Club took the lead in introducing a marketing team in China, taking charge of the endorsements of the players and Shang Yan, which accelerated the commercial realization of the domestic e-sports industry.
"Wang Sicong called us all over at that time, saying that as long as we won the championship, each person would get a prize of 2,. I was shocked at that time. Later, we successfully won the championship, and his people carried a black sack full of money. "
The scene described by the former IG captain with a smile is reminiscent of Wang Jianlin who walked into the locker room of Dalian team with a big bag of money in the 192s.
both the richest man and his son believe that only real money is the best way to activate the enthusiasm of the players and the vitality of the team.
214-215 can be said to be two years when Wang Sicong made full efforts.
In 214, Wang Sicong talked with Chen Xiangyu, the boss and entrepreneurial youth of Le Dou Game Company, for a whole day. Before the last round of financing, he obtained 1.3% equity from Chen Xiangyu for $5.9 million, and got on the last express train of this company's Nasdaq listing.
Chen Xiangyu was not short of money at that time. His major shareholders included Lenovo and Tencent. His mobile game industry was just taking shape in China, and hot money kept coming.
The same story happened to Wang Dongfeng, a web game giant, and it was the Pre-IPO stage before listing. Apart from the execution of Pusi team, his agent said frankly: "Our chairman had an in-depth exchange with Yunyou management team, and Wang Dong and General Manager Wang were very vocal about the industry situation and future development direction, so we soon had a breakthrough point."
these two investments are small in amount, but they both belong to the tiger's mouth. Why can it succeed? Much of the reason lies in Wang Sicong's personal influence and personal color.
I have to say that Wang Sicong's vision is prescient. After several years of layout, the business empire has begun to take shape.
the investment company has covered product producers, event organizers and hardware product providers, and has also established Shanghai Banana Plan Culture Development Co., Ltd. and Panda TV, a live broadcast platform, so that e-sports and games can span entertainment, film and television, sports, music and other industries, trying to get through pan-entertainment.
In mid-September, in 15 years, Wang Sicong invested 1 million yuan in the New Third Board Company with the concept of mobile e-sports. One month later, the China Mobile E-sports Alliance, led by heroes' mutual entertainment, composed of ***12 upstream game manufacturers and 4 middle and downstream e-sports companies, was formally established. Most companies in Wang Sicong's e-sports empire entered the alliance, realizing the ecological closed loop, and he himself served as the first rotating chairman of the alliance.
But at that time, it was not the title of "investor" that made Wang Sicong famous, but the label of "overbearing rich second generation".
He is more frequent, and he is never afraid of the world.
For example, ridiculing Zhao Benshan as a "peasant who plays high", satirizing Weibo as a "chicken thief" after the derailment, satirizing Cao Ge's emotional intelligence as "touching", spraying Tao Jingying's plain face and making a fool of herself, criticizing Michelle Chen's version of the little dragon girl as a silly aunt, laughing at Fan Bingbing Viann as a "carpet star", criticizing Faye Wong as "ignorant", denouncing "I am a singer 3" as grandiose and ugly, and calling Huang Zitao "brain-damaged".
In 215, when Lei Jun held a press conference in India, Wang Sicong vomited his English on Weibo, and wrote: Actually, I really suggest that entrepreneurs with poor English should stop embarrassing themselves when they go abroad. The next morning, Wang Sicong came out to apologize again: After all, the previous generation of entrepreneurs did not have the conditions of our generation.
Wang Sicong, who lives in the air, has offended many people invisibly. However, as online celebrity, he humiliated himself and teased each other with netizens, which made him very grounded, so he also gained countless traffic.
how popular is it? Wang Sicong can go to Weibo for a hot search if he likes it.
between his gestures, there was a small earthquake in Weibo.
in 217, Wang Sicong disappeared for 1 days.
Apart from the Sino-Indian border conflict, the great event that happened in Weibo in the past 1 days is the box office miracle of Wolf Warriors 2.
at that time, Wanda was in crisis. The People's Daily criticized Wanda by name, not taking tools as its purpose.
under the guidance of the central bank, Wanda gave up the follow-up development of the Spanish building, and the plan to acquire DCP company in the United States was aborted. Since July, all Wanda's overseas projects have been braked completely.
the wind is blowing over the building.
Wang Sicong asked Wang Jianlin, who was sitting on the sofa reading the report, "Dad, is there anything wrong at home?"
"it's nothing, it's almost done. By the way, keep a low profile recently, and Weibo had better not send it. "Wang Jianlin brushed it off.
If this had been put in the past, Wang Sicong would not have listened.
But with more communication with his father in recent years, he gradually realized that his father's business is not that simple.
On the day of ChinaJoy exhibition, Wang Sicong came to the booth of Shanda Games and told the director that he wanted to see Show Girl. The director immediately arranged for all the people to appear together and let him have a good time.
We can see Wang Sicong's movements in all other places, except Weibo, the once overbearing individual.
Finally, Wang Sicong, who is famous for swearing, stopped sending Weibo.
Later, Wang Sicong's career also had problems.
with the intervention of Tencent, e-sports in China is developing in a standardized way. However, Wang Sicong's e-sports empire is in a shaky state.
It has been revealed that Panda Live is short of funds and will even be sold at a low price: Panda Live is looking for a buyer, with a value of about 3 billion RMB, some in cash and some in the form of equity exchange.
At that time, the live broadcast industry was already a world of fighting fish and tiger teeth, and the panda live broadcast was quite weak. Behind fighting fish and tiger teeth, there are big companies such as Tencent as gold owners.
After the ACE (China E-sports Clubs Alliance) organized by Wang Sicong started to operate, there was no control over the core game products, and the clubs and players still went their own way. With the gradual expansion of LPL (League of Legends Professional League), the alliance role of ACE has also gradually weakened and withdrawn from the stage.
in the eighth year of entering the e-sports industry, Wang Sicong's aura gradually began to fade, while Wang Sicong was taken over by capital and big companies.
This kind of defeat has not dampened Wang Sicong's enthusiasm for e-sports. He is more like a child, playing with a heavy heart. As long as he is free, he won't be absent from the major League of Legends star exhibition games, and he will play every game with his heart.
On August 19th, 218, in the match between IG and VG, Wang Sicong put on his team uniform and officially participated in the professional competition. Many people criticize this and think that Wang Sicong does not respect e-sports.
But unexpectedly, the participation of the IG boss made the game full of entertainment. The traffic of the major live broadcast platforms on that day broke through 1 million, and Zhengda Square was packed.
In an interview before the game, Wang Sicong said that he was very tight standing here for the first time as a player.
