Chapter 53: Tianbao's actions, a bad premonition

The idle item trading platform - Xianyu, when it was first launched, was as obscure as the original friend network.

But with the investment, coupled with the cooperation with the friend network, there has been some scale.

But compared to the huge Internet market, it is still insignificant.

The idle fish here is different from the one in the previous life.

In the previous life, Xianyu was backed by Ali and enjoyed the channels of Taobao, which developed rapidly.

But the idle fish here can only rely on their own development.

"Brother Zheng, at present, Xianyu and Friends have carried out preliminary cooperation, and the results are gratifying. I discussed with Mr. Xi and will deepen cooperation in the future. On the phone, Meng Tongfeng said.

Zheng Ge snorted and said: "The friend network has great potential, and the market of Xianyu is also very broad, and the cooperation between the two is harmless." ”

Meng Tongfeng agreed.

"By the way, what about that classmate of yours...... How's his company doing?"

Zheng Ge remembered the person who participated in the Sanli Group Idea Contest at the beginning, and he couldn't remember his name.

Driven by Jiancheng Capital, the development of his borrowing platform is also in shape. However, I am afraid that the company will soon be his. Meng Tongfeng said with a sneer in his tone.

"Oh?"

Zheng Ge blinked.

"Although there are some differences in the business models of borrowing platforms and Xianyu, they are both emerging markets. If you want to open the market, you need a huge amount of capital to open the way. The initial capital investment of several million is far from enough. Now that the completed capital has invested an additional 30 million, Mufeng's shares have also been diluted to only 10%. I heard that Jiancheng Capital was not very satisfied with Mu Feng's business philosophy, and in the name of the major shareholder, a lot of management was installed in the loan, and Mu Feng's rights would soon be hollowed out. It was only a matter of time before he was ousted from the position of general manager. Meng Tongfeng said lightly.

Speaking of which, he also only has 10% of Xianyu's shares, but Zheng Ge has never interfered in the management of Xianyu. At most, it is to make some suggestions on big decisions. Often these suggestions have a huge effect on the development of Xianyu.

In this regard, Meng Tongfeng not only did not object, but also agreed very much.

"Oh! ”

Zheng Ge shook his head and smiled.

This is the result of the fact that when the contract was signed in the first place, the consequences were not considered.

Internet companies have an AB-share model, which divides stocks into two series: A and B. Among them, the investor holds Series A ordinary shares with 1 vote. The founders hold Series B common stock, which has 10 or even N voting rights per share.

A lot of tech companies like this model.

Because in this way, the founders can prevent the power from being hollowed out by capital.

In the previous life, large Internet companies such as Google, Facebook, and Baidu were all in this model. Many founders, with less than 10% of the shares, can control the entire company.

Zheng Ge doesn't like this model very much.

Because he's an investor.

"Okay, don't care about him, just develop your own. ”

Zheng Ge said

......

After understanding all the projects it invested, Zheng Ge sat on the sofa and turned on the 100-inch big TV.

Don't say it, it's cool to watch a big TV.

"I don't know what Guo Ya is talking about. ”

Looking at the TV, Zheng Ge pondered absentmindedly.

The plan to acquire Tianbao Company, Zheng Ge gave full authority to Guo Ya.

As soon as I thought of this, as if I had a heart in my heart, Guo Ya's phone call happened to call.

"Mr. Zheng, the Xu family agreed to sell the shares at an asking price of 180 million. ”

Guo Ya said.

"Tell me about the specifics. ”

Zheng Ge said.

"Okay. Guo Ya responded and said, "Originally, I planned to talk to the Xu family first and look for a suitable opportunity to propose an acquisition plan. Unexpectedly, the Xu family, the major shareholder of Tianbao Company, took the initiative to propose to sell Tianbao's equity completely. ”

"Let's talk about the equity distribution of Tianbao Company. ”

Zheng Ge said.

At present, the Xu family occupies 62% of the equity of Tianbao Company, which is in the hands of 6 brothers and sisters of Xu Jianchang, the second generation of the Xu family. Among them, Xu Jianchang holds the largest shareholding. 25% of the outstanding shares in the market and 13% in the hands of two minority shareholders. ”

Guo Ya said.

"So, just 62 percent, 180 million? Who gave them their mouths!"

Zheng Ge sneered.

The total market value of Tianbao Company is only 200 million, and with only 62% of the equity, he wants to go 180 million, which really wrongs him!

"I'll give you a bottom line of 100 million yuan to acquire 62% of the Xu family's equity. You just go and talk, if you can make a deal for 90 million, I will reward you with 1 million, 80 million for the deal, reward 2 million, and so on. ”

Zheng Ge said.

Guo Ya frowned, not excited at all about the huge reward.

He sighed and said, "Mr. Zheng, I'm afraid it's difficult, they bite very hard." In addition, I don't know if you have noticed, Tianbao Company is vigorously promoting the concept of car video, and the stock price has risen slightly. ”

"Don't worry, all this is the reaction of the Xu family in a hurry. They eagerly sold Tianbao Company, and Tianbao Company was a burden in their eyes. And at present, except for us, no one is interested in Tianbao, so you can rest assured and boldly go to the lion's mouth. ”

Zheng Ge said.

"Good. Guo Ya also knows these truths, it is only the first time to invest in Changge, and operating such a large project has a lot of burden in his heart.

"Don't worry, do it. ”

Zheng Ge said.

Guo Ya answered and hung up the phone.

......

Hanging up the phone, Zheng Ge checked the recent news of Tianbao Company.

"The publicity is really strong!"

Full of advertorials, the concept of hyped car video, what: "leave memories for travel, record the beautiful scenery along the way", and other seemingly beautiful slogans, but none of them are on the idea.

While somewhat appealing, it's not a necessity.

A dash cam to record traffic accidents is a necessity.

"What is the Xu family stimulated?"

When he opened the thousand-degree hot search list that attracted the most attention on the whole network, as well as the circle topic list of the friend network. Seeing the top 10 of the two lists, the hot search topic about car video, Zheng Ge suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Looking at the history of Tianbao company, even if a new product is launched in the past, there has never been such a big movement.

This time it's bloody propaganda!

This made Zheng Ge feel irritable, and he felt that he had to hurry up and complete the acquisition as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm afraid things will change.

Thinking about it, he dialed Guo Ya's phone and asked the other party to hurry up.

Guo Ya was a little puzzled, and said that he was not in a hurry on the phone before. Why did you become so eager after a while?

Zheng Ge didn't explain anything about this.

......

Yangcheng, in the hotel.

Guo Ya hung up the phone, pondered for a while, and said to the secretary: "Help me make an appointment with Mr. Xu of Tianbao and have dinner together in the evening." ”

"Okay. ”

The secretary nodded and turned to leave.

In the evening, in a high-end restaurant, Guo Ya met Xu Jianchang.

"Mr. Guo, let's be honest. At first, Mr. Zheng only planned to finance Tianbao, and never thought about acquiring it. So, sorry ......"

Guo Ya sighed and said.

Xu Jianchang frowned, what do you mean? Changge Investment is going to give up?

"Mr. Guo, what do you mean?"

Xu Jianchang said.

"It's what we mean by Mr. Zheng, and it's also looking at Tianbao's factory and land, which is somewhat useful. Only then did the acquisition be agreed. But if the price is too high, we at Changge Investment will definitely abandon the acquisition. ”

Guo Ya said.

Xu Jianchang frowned and said, "Mr. Guo will tell me the bottom line." ”

"60 million. ”

Zheng Ge said.

"What? Xu Jianchang shook his head wildly.

Guo Ya picked up the red wine and was silent.

Xu Jianchang frowned, pondered for a while, and said, "In this way, how about we trade according to the market price?"

Guo Ya silently calculated in his heart, the Xu family holds 62% of the shares, and the current market value of Tianbao Company is 213 million, which is 132 million according to the market price, which is still higher than the bottom line given by Zheng Ge.

"No, so be it, 65 million. ”

Guo Ya said.

Zheng Ge promised an incremental bonus, he was very interested.

There is no one who does not love money.

Guo Ya is no exception.

If there is a chance to earn 1 million, he will definitely find a way to make this money.

"No, no, no. ”

Xu Jianchang still shook his head.

Guo Ya smiled and began to bargain with Xu Jianchang.

There was a large table of dishes on the table, and no one moved. Neither of them was on the food. The secretaries and assistants who accompanied them also watched the two bargain like hawkers, and they didn't dare to move their chopsticks.

This conversation is an hour. In the end, at the price of 90 million, it was tentatively set.

"To be honest, at the price of 90 million, our family estimates that it will be difficult to pass. So be it, a hundred million. Guo Yadao.

"No, 90 million is already the bottom line. Mr. Xu discussed it with his family, and said that I will go back to the magic capital the day after tomorrow, and it is estimated that I will not stay in Yangcheng for a long time. ”

Guo Ya said.

"That's fine. ”

Xu Jianchang frowned slightly, drank a glass of wine, got up and left with his assistant.

Watching Xu Jianchang leave, Guo Ya picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of beef in his mouth, and said to the accompanying secretary assistant: "It tastes good, don't waste it, sit down and eat it together." ”

(Ask for tickets, big guys...... Thank you...... )
