"Guys, I'm sorry, but I have something to do first. ”

Sina's chairman, Cao Guowei, left the table in a hurry. Later, the proprietress of the Jinyi Inn also informed the bigwigs present of the news she heard from the reporters outside. For a while, the big guys in the room were a little quiet.

The main thing is that I don't know what to say.

As one of China's three major web portals, Sina's change of control is sure to attract attention in the media. The group of reporters waiting outside just now were shocked by the news coming from the other side of the Pacific.

On November 4, Sina just held the 2016 annual general meeting of shareholders. The main event was the distribution of modest shares to Sina's shareholders. The plan is: for every 10 shares of Sina shares, 1 meager share will be distributed.

As a result, Sina's meager shareholding in Sina fell to 50.2 and its voting rights to 75.

As it prepares to release its third-quarter earnings report, the industry generally believes that Sina's share price will rise. At this time, Sina's market capitalization was about $4.32 billion.

In other words, Jing Gao spent about $2.2 billion to pocket Sina. Of course, the homeopathic control of Sina is meager. This amount of funds is only a small meaning for the Phoenix Fund that is playing the "free month".

The night is getting darker, and the cold wind of mid-November is blowing through the town. The restaurant of Jinyi Inn is a little quiet, quite a bit of "the core of the food is exhausted, the cups and plates are messy".

Yang Zhiyuan, the founder of Yahoo, was puzzled and said: "Is there any misunderstanding here? Charles offended Jing Gao?"

Yang Zhiyuan used to be a big man in the Internet rivers and lakes. Yahoo was the largest Internet company in the United States by market capitalization back then! When he came to China, Ma Yun worked as a translator to accompany him on the Great Wall. Of course, in 2016, the aura on Big Brother Yang gradually faded.

"Charles" is Cao Guowei's English name.

Lei Jun got up and poured himself tea, took a sip, and said, "It may not be a misunderstanding. Mr. Yang, you will find out by checking the Internet now. ”

The rest of the bigwigs who knew the inside story shook their heads and sighed.

Sina, as a web portal, was abandoned by netizens in 2016, and its access traffic was not very high. At present, the market share of news clients is: Toutiao 42.8, Tencent News 32.6, NetEase News, and Sohu News.

But Sina controls one important social media: Sina Slim. Basically, important information dissemination, in addition to news websites, short video websites, and the official websites of major media, has to look at Sina's meager situation.

Some time ago, and even recently, Sina Meager rejected the Phoenix Fund's request to control the comments. The reason is simple, Ali has a meager stake in Sina. To put it more bluntly, Sina is in the wrong team.

Shen Nanpeng sighed speechlessly. Some time ago, there was a rumor about Ren Zhi in the magic capital: the prince was angry and turned over the river and the sea. It's a joke. He's a piece of! Mr. Jing is the real Thunder Fury!

Judging from the limited contact he had with Mr. Jing, Cao Guowei and his core team had to get out of Sina.

That's the price!

They don't know what to do with the well. I have to save myself, find someone to ask Mr. Jing for intercession, I can't sit still. Fortunately, they are funds, not listed companies. Otherwise, the end will definitely be the same as Mr. Cao.

Lenovo's Yang Yuanqing shook his head and said, "Barbarians knock on the door!" I think after we go back tonight, we will all see if the controlling stake in our company is secure. ”

The rest of the bigwigs sighed.

Wang Xing, the boss of Meituan, who had just merged with Dianping, groaned and did not speak. He had a hunch that the Phoenix Fund could be a formidable opponent.

Ying Shuling, CEO of Hero Mutual Entertainment, was a little worried. I heard that Mr. Jing bought a King Glory Club. It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Wang Dashao wants to make an alliance with Jing. Hero Mutual Entertainment cooperated with Tencent to kick out Wang Dashao's China E-sports Club Alliance.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the wine bureau is no longer there, everyone's mind is not chatting, and it is estimated that there are two words in everyone's minds: Jing Gao. Ding Sanshi proposed: "Otherwise, let's withdraw." See you again next year. ”

"Okay. ”

The bigwigs left one after another. With a good temper and a good mood, he waved to the media reporters who were still waiting at the door.

The smoke is gone, and the wine game is over. This is the first time that the bigwigs in the Internet have recognized the general manager of the Phoenix Fund. Moreover, Mr. Jing has directly jumped from a newcomer to the position of a big man! Obviously, he is qualified to come and have a glass of wine at next year's "Wuzhen Liquor Bureau." Cao Guowei is estimated to disappear into the rivers and lakes.

The well is always not in the rivers and lakes, and his legend has already begun.

...

...

Ding Sanshi was the last to leave as the master, but he didn't have to worry about checkout and other matters, there was an assistant.

Ding Sanshi was chubby and walked all the way back to the hotel. Looking at the time, he sat in front of the window and dialed Duan Yongping, the big brother in California, "Ah Duan, do you know the news of Sina's change of ownership?"

Ding Sanshi is a native of Zhejiang Province, but NetEase's headquarters is in Yangcheng. He stayed in Yangcheng all year round. Basically, people who have stayed in the south such as Yangcheng, Guancheng and other places know that they like to call people "Ah X".

Duan Yongping answered the phone in his villa, and his life after arriving in the United States was relatively simple, saying: "I don't pay much attention to the Internet. "His style of speaking is more earthy. I see the problem very thoroughly.

Duan Yongping invested in NetEase because NetEase is not only a portal, but also a game company. Now the only two game bosses in China are Tencent and NetEase. And he's very knowledgeable about games.

Ding Sanshi said with a smile: "Hey, there is a ruthless person in our country." It's called Idaka. It is said that it is for foreign capital agents. He paid about $2.2 billion to buy Sina. The reason is that Sina meager does not give him face and does not delete posts. ”

Duan Yongping: "..."

Ding Sanshi said: "Duan, he has now entered the mobile phone industry. I think with his level and strength, sooner or later he will come into contact with you. He made a very violent incident two days ago: he asked Xie Shihuang to bring a message to Ma Yun...

I'm going to get in touch with him. ”

He and Ma Yun don't deal with each other. The enemy of the enemy may not be a friend, but it is not necessary to touch it first.

Duan Yongping listened calmly and said, "I know." ”

...

...

The night faded away, and the dawn shone dimly on the horizon. The small river in Wuzhen flows quietly.

In the old houses with white walls and black tiles on both sides, people went out one after another. The Internet Conference continues. The meeting will be held on the day. And last night's news, news, and news are spreading in the town and on the Internet.

Jing Gao did not return to Wuzhen last night, but lived in the villa of "Tongxiang Longhu". In the early morning, he and Cao Danqing hugged each other and chatted in the bed. Winter really tests people's ability to get up, especially when there is a big beauty in their arms.

Cao Danqing, who is 1.72 meters tall, slender and slender, is not only delicate and charming, but also tall, slender and slender, and her proportions are like supermodels. Skin is like jade.

The two of them talked, after all, they overcame the difficulties and washed up. After having breakfast in the car, I took my assistant Dong Youwei and Jiang Zi to today's venue. Qiao Shuang and Liu Zhen were resting in Wuzhen yesterday.

Yesterday's dinner ended around 8:30 a.m. Itaka is too lazy to take care of social matters, and for the two of them, this is an opportunity to expand their network. Uber's chairman and president are not bad.

It was close to 8:40, and there were already many guests in the venue. Various media outlets have various machines in the back row. The purpose of this kind of conference is to promote China's governance plan and ideas on the Internet. The more media, the better.

You must know that in 2013, the West, led by the United States, set off a public opinion siege on China, accusing China of stealing secrets with hackers. As a result, a "prism door" broke out at that time.

Many people think it's an accident. No, it's an inevitability. Because the United States has more than one "prismgate" project. This kind of happens all the time. It was only because world public opinion was besieging China at that time and hyping up cyber security that it caused such a big sensation.

Who doesn't know about the double standards of the Western media? He should not have seen the news that was unfavorable to him. Moreover, the pace of the entire Western media is very consistent.

Idaka wears very old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses and a plain suit, which is very different from his usual image. On such an occasion, he could not have sent someone to the media and said, "I don't want to take pictures." That's looking for a draw! There are big media such as Yang Ma, Xin X Agency, and Renren Daily at the scene. Therefore, he can only simply "disguise".

Cao Danqing was also dressed very plainly, wearing glasses, and sat down in the back area of the venue with Jing Gao.

The arrangement in the venue is wide between the rows and the rows of seats. Those who sit down while walking do not need to get up. But when Jing Gao and Cao Qing just passed by a seat, a middle-aged man suddenly stood up, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Jing, hello." I am Ying Shuling of Hero Entertainment. ”

Jing Gao was slightly stunned, there was no such thing in the venue yesterday, but he still shook hands politely, "Hello." ”

Ying Shuling's words were heard by the people around him. On the way to the seat, one by one got up and shook hands with the well-gotten, making the well-gum look like a leader. The movement was quickly picked up by the media in the venue.

Click.

For the media, after the popularization of public opinion by Ali, everyone knows that Jiuge Capital is still a well-advanced industry. So, with such a big news from Sina's new owner, who doesn't want to eat a mouthful of hot soup?

A couple of reporters were chatting in the back.

"Tsk, Mr. Jing is so good... It's like a leader. ”

"Lao Wang, I should say this treatment. I think Mr. Jing is quite low-key, you look at his clothes. I can't stand the fact that others are very enthusiastic about him. Including us. ”

"Haha. ”

"Anyway, it's the first time I've met Mr. Jing. It's a fresh face. ”

"You weren't at the main venue yesterday?"

"At that time, so many Internet bigwigs were present, as well as leaders and foreign guests, who would pay attention to the actual controller of the Phoenix Fund?"

"It turned out to be a big news. ”

...

...

After Jing Gao and Cao Danqing were seated, the guest speaker, Gan Baldeira, President of the China-Europe Digital Association, was present.

Cao Danqing knew that the media behind him were staring, so he didn't whisper to Jing Gao, but took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Jing Gao.

"Mr. Jing, how does it feel to be famous?"
