Chapter 314: Knock Your Jaw Off
He has obtained the price code offered by the origin from Zhou Wenyang, and obtained 10% of the equity of the merged company at the cost of the merger of Tianlong Literature Network into the origin.
This price code is actually not satisfactory to the arrogant Li Tianlong, the price code he hopes in his heart is about 30%, even if it is reduced a little, it must be more than 25%.
But Zhou Wenyang directly offered a 10% price code, which surprised Li Tianlong. Because Zhou Wenyang has always been gentle and elegant, he is not strong in business negotiations, which Li Tianlong understands very well, so it is absolutely impossible for Zhou Wenyang to open a 10% price this time.
Although Zhou Wenyang is now the president of the original point, and he has the final say in all matters and small matters, but in the major decision-making of commercial mergers and acquisitions, I am afraid that Li Feng's opinion is the dominant one.
So Li Tianlong decided to talk to Li Feng directly to see if there was room for further price increases.
"Mr. Li, in terms of the severe environment your company is currently facing, I think 10% is already our biggest discount, if after a period of time, maybe the total value of your company will shrink again, and I am afraid that I will not even be able to get 5% of the equity at that time. Li Feng said lightly, "From the current point of view, the only value of Tianlong Literature Network lies in the group of sticky users you have on hand, in addition, the website of Tianlong Literature Network alone has no value, plus your personnel redundancy is serious, and it is even a burden." At this point, Mr. Li must also be very clear, so there is no need for us to go further. ”
Li Feng's meaning is very clear, the current Tianlong Literature Network has no value, if you can't accept the 10% equity plan, I'm afraid this merger and acquisition will be yellow.
This is nothing for the origin, but for Tianlong Literature Network, it is a matter of life and death.
"Okay. Li Tianlong could only knock out his teeth and swallow in his stomach, "According to your plan, the Tianlong Literature Network will be completely merged into the origin, and as for the personnel arrangements of our company, we will also listen to you." ”
"The redundancy of personnel on your website is very serious, according to my thoughts, the Tianlong Literature Network only needs to leave three to five core members, and the rest of the personnel will be dismissed immediately. Li Feng said, "However, judging from the current situation of your company, there should be a lot of employees who resign, and there is no need to even take the initiative to dismiss, so you should choose a suitable time to announce the news of mergers and acquisitions to the company's core employees." What we need is your best assets, not liabilities. Therefore, Tianlong Literature Network will become the Jiangzhou branch of the origin, and the company must also move out of your current luxury office building, choose an affordable small office location, and accept our merger. ”
Li Feng has assigned specific tasks to Li Tianlong, which are based on reality to minimize operating costs and improve operational efficiency.
For Li Tianlong, this merger and acquisition, when the website is about to dissolve, is a key transaction made with the loyal users of the website as the largest asset, at least for him to retain 10% of the shares of the future joint company, although the total amount is very small, but it is better than nothing.
"Well, just do as you want. Li Tianlong said.
"For specific operation details, please contact Zhou Wenyang, you are old colleagues, and communication must be smoother. Li Feng said.
Li Feng sent Li Tianlong away in a few words, and set the main tone of the future merger and acquisition plan, Li Tianlong was helpless about it, after all, the situation was stronger than people, and at this point, he had to bow his head.
This time, with only 10% of the equity, in exchange for the No. 1 literary website in China, Li Feng can be said to have fought a bloodless battle and won a big victory.
And this merger and acquisition of Tianlong Literature Network, in the entire industry has a symbolic significance, since then, the origin has naturally become the boss of the industry, no need to prove themselves, the high-quality resources of the entire industry will also converge more to the origin, in this sense, this merger and acquisition, Li Feng only used a small price, in exchange for the origin of a one-year time window.
In other words, in 2002, when this literary website was competing for the best, Origin had already won the goal of the whole year by virtue of this merger and acquisition, and it did not even need to participate in the competition with other websites.
Therefore, all the energy of the origin can be invested in the launch of the VIP fee model in the second half of the year, without having to bother to take care of its competitors in the industry.
This advantage is crushing, making the origin from the industry leader to the industry leader, and even eventually the industry king.
At the end of April, the news of the origin merger and acquisition of Tianlong Literature Network was finally announced through official channels, although there have been some gossip from well-informed people in the industry before, but everyone seems to be not very convinced, knowing that after the official announcement of the news at the origin, the entire online literature industry has simply exploded.
For other literary websites, such a situation is simply incredible, a literary website ranked No. 1 in the industry, was actually acquired by a website that hovered between the second and third places, which simply broke the basic common sense of the business world, and it was simply writing fantasy.
They don't know the deep crisis that Tianlong Literature Network is facing, and only with the origin of Zhou Wenyang can they know the real predicament of Tianlong Literature Network.
When the news was announced, all kinds of discussions appeared, and everyone worshiped the emerging website of Origin.
You know, half a year ago, Origin was just established, and it was a little-known small website, but I didn't expect it to emerge after the National Internet Literature Conference and gradually enter the ranks of the top three in the country, which is already a miracle.
What's even more incredible is that it was able to swallow the country's No. 1 Tianlong Literature Network and become the largest literary website in China in one fell swoop, which made the jaws of veterans in the industry drop their jaws.
If this development trend is followed, the origin point will quickly become a well-deserved hegemon in China, dominating the entire online literature circle.
On the occasion of the announcement of the merger and acquisition at the origin, a new plan was also launched on the homepage of the website - the "Great God Cultivation Plan", and the first ten god-level authors who have made outstanding contributions to the origin will also continue to pay the water, and for a time, all the hot spots in the industry have focused on the origin of vigorous development.
