Chapter 557: Be Cautious

As soon as he got to work early in the morning, Li Wenbo was shocked by Wen Xiaoguang's phone call, and he didn't expect to make something happen when he went to Japan.

"Call me for a while, Mr. Li, right now. ”

It is not a simple matter for the company to merge, Line is fortunate that it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Weituo, but kakaotalk is not so simple, it involves multiple investors and creditors, according to the process, after the merger agreement is signed, they will immediately prepare their balance sheets and property lists. To put it bluntly, it's how much money you owe and how much valuable things you have, because it involves law, finance, and cross-border issues......

Wen Xiaoguang said it was trouble, but it was really troublesome.

Li Yidan used to work on Wall Street, an active volcano of capital flows that staged various mergers and acquisitions or mergers every day.

Bang Bang!

"Mr. Li. ”

"Come, come, come. Li Wenbo asked her to sit opposite, "This morning's news, Xiaoguang somehow contacted a mobile social application company in South Korea, something happened, you'd better fly to Japan." ”

"So suddenly?" Li Yidan asked, "What's wrong?"

"The company merger, although the agreement has not yet been signed, Xiaoguang and the person in charge on the other side have begun preliminary contact, and he needs your help. ”

Because they are in this business, South Korea and Japan are close to each other, and they are not like ordinary people who don't care, and they have long known in their hearts that the Korean market has been given a head start by the local kakaotalk, otherwise how could Weituo ignore the canary of this world economy.

As soon as Li Yidan said it, he understood, "Line merged with kakaotalk, and that company is not strong, so why not buy it directly?"

Li Wenbo waved his hand, "Acquisition is not just about the scale, I know a little bit about Jin Fanxiu, he started his second business, he is not a person who wants to sell the company and get a sum of money and leave, and he has been famous for more than ten years, he is not short of money, he should want to bring out a company." ”

His eyes narrowed, so he explained the doubts in his heart, no wonder he agreed to the merger, because he was unwilling to be a company of two or three billion dollars on such a small stage, so Xiaoguang's invitation would work.

Li Yidan said: "Since it's decided, then I'll go to Japan." ”

"Well, I heard what Xiaoguang meant, the new company after the merger should put Jin Fanxiu in charge, and correspondingly, that person should give up some in other aspects, you are experienced, you should know how to talk. ”

"Understand, you can't have both power and money, it would be too greedy. ”

Kakaotalk's shareholders are mainly Jin Fanxiu and several early angel investors, the company is still new, and the shareholding structure has not yet reached the point where outsiders can't figure it out.

Line's representative is not Wen Xiaoguang but Weituo, and how to determine the new shareholding structure between the two sides is the top priority of this merger.

And Jin Fanxiu is willing to agree, one of the important factors is that he considers that Wen Xiaoguang mentioned that the new company after the merger will be managed by him, if he can't communicate directly with Wen Xiaoguang, and there is another leader in the middle, then he will definitely retreat.

"The merger by absorption and the merger by the new establishment are only different methods, the former is that two companies enter another company, and the latter is that both companies are deregistered and a new company is registered. Wen Xiaoguang said to the visiting Jin Fanxiu: "I personally can accept both methods, no matter what the form, the new company has two things that are certain, Weituo Technology is the major shareholder, and Chairman Jin is the CEO." ”

This is actually the determination of the daily management power and ultimate ownership, to put it in layman's terms, Wen Xiaoguang wants to be the chairman, and the professional manager can be Jin Fanxiu.

Of course, this professional manager also has a lot of shares, after all, if he brings a company over, he must have at least 30% of the equity.

Kim Beom-so should agree with this, he is smart enough to know that this pattern is indestructible, because it is the basis on which the two sides can reach a consensus, or to describe it in four words: each takes what he needs.

Wen Xiaoguang didn't want to make it feel like an annexation, he really just wanted to merge.

"Let's merge with a new one. Kim Beom-so made a choice, "A new company needs to be registered for a new merger, so how about we register the new company as Linekakao?"

It's a bit earthy, but Wen Xiaoguang still agreed, "Yes, and for the sake of unification and better promotion in the future, I think that in addition to the comprehensive docking of kakaotalk with Line in terms of technology and content, it is best to change the name to Line, and integrate with each other to form one, so as not to confuse users." ”

Let's meet one condition for each other, at least in terms of the company's name, they also keep a little bit of the original.

Li Yidan arrived in Sapporo within three hours.

Now that WeChat has more than 100 million users in mainland China, the large-scale friend chain makes WeChat's expansion only limited by the popularity of smartphones. The battle of the Chinese New Year's red envelopes was fought very beautifully, and I don't know how many companies will follow suit when the next Spring Festival comes.

Therefore, when everyone thinks that 2012 is a year of steady but rapid growth of WeChat, but they didn't expect to suddenly jump out of a new growth pole - Line, Wen Xiaoguang is still Wen Xiaoguang, which is always surprising. Because it is a wholly-owned subsidiary, Line has good news, which is also crucial for the B round of financing of Weituo Technology.

This means that the eyes of Micro Tuo Technology are not only on the mainland, but also include hundreds of millions of people in the surrounding areas, not to mention rushing out of Asia, but there is no problem in occupying Asia.

This is also the first time Li Yidan has seen Wen Liushu, there is a strange fund with 1% of the shares among the shareholders of the company, which is directly transferred from the name of Mr. Wen, and the owner of the fund is indeed called Wen Liushu.

Wen Liushu's elegant intellect left a deep impression on her, and before she had time to say a lot of greetings, the girl pointed her in the direction, "Xiaoguang is at the entrance of the park downstairs, we should be able to see it when we stand here." ”

Li Yidan looked in the direction of his finger, "Is that Jin Fanxiu next to him?"

"Yes, he has just arrived, so he should have thought about it for a long time in the hotel before deciding to come to Xiaoguang. Wen Liushu was going to take her over, "Xiaoguang said that if you arrive, you will go directly." ”

Li Yidan smiled at her, "Thank you." You are ......"

"His girlfriend. ”

"Hello, Miss Wen, I am Li Yidan, the manager of the investment department. ”

"Hello. ”

......

......

Only halfway through, Wen Xiaoguang came back by himself, because Jin Fanxiu had already left.

Li Yidan walked up in three steps and two steps, "Mr. Wen, I'm late." How's it going?"

"Mutual testing is slow. Wen Xiaoguang shook his head, "I just discussed the name." ”

"It's normal. Small companies are particularly worried about being eaten up when doing this kind of action with large companies, so they will be very cautious, and confirm again and again that if I am in his position, I will also beat the drum in my heart, after all, our strength is much stronger than theirs. ”

Listening to her explain like this makes some sense, Jin Fanxiu should also have this kind of worry.

"Let's go back and rest first, and talk about it next time, I estimate that at this rate, we will have to talk about it more than a dozen times. ”

Li Yidan said: "Take your time, this is a meticulous job, just the merger announcement will be published on the 45th, and it will not be complete without half a year." But does Mr. Zhang know about it?"

"You know, I've already told her. ”

That's much better, the most unhappy thing about this matter may be Zhang Lin, but Li Yidan feels that Mr. Wen didn't do this kind of thing because he was dissatisfied with her, if it was just because he was dissatisfied with a person, no leader would choose such a troublesome way, just replace it directly, so it must be from a higher level to make a decision.

She hopes that Zhang Lin can understand, and she must understand.

Li Yidan came back to his senses and asked, "Did you talk about equity distribution?"

"No, I don't have his balance sheet, he doesn't have mine, equity is not negotiable, Line has no foreign debt, who knows if kakaotalk has debt?"

"It's good if you don't talk about it......," Li Yidan breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Xiaoguang: "......"

He asked Li Wenbo to get an expert over, but does that mean that I don't understand it at all? These people don't feel at ease with themselves at all.

Li Yidan really thinks so, the boss has too many whimsical ideas, and they are really tired of working to death.

"If you lose money, don't just care about how many shares Weituo can get. ”

If Wen Xiaoguang is sometimes big-hearted or generous, then Li Yidan is very concerned about how much economic interest the company has, and she, the manager of the investment department, can make those start-up companies feel painful.

"Yes, yes, I accept Mr. Wen's criticism. Li Yidan replied with a smile.

From a woman's point of view, a good-looking boss is like a capable and eye-catching little brother, just like a man will take special care of a beautiful woman, and a woman will be more tolerant of good-looking boys.

Wen Liushu said with a little envy: "My company doesn't have an atmosphere like yours." ”

"Internet companies, there is no such dead management, and there are many people who usually call me Xiaoguang and handsome guys. Wen Xiaoguang doesn't care, their kind of work requires brainstorming, and too rigid and oppressive management and atmosphere will limit the creativity of employees.

Li Yidan didn't think so, "In fact, because the work intensity and pressure are too great, we can only loosen and loosen in this regard, otherwise we will all be out of breath." I can't stand working overtime every day without making some jokes. ”
