In the largest reception room of Hantang Media, Tang An personally received Tang Song, vice president of strategic investment of Baidui Group.

Previously, Baidu had launched an acquisition with UC, and I didn't know how many times I talked to Yu Yongfu.

But Baidu, who intends to control absolutely, has been rejected many times by Yu Yongfu, and he has no choice but to hit Tang An with his idea, after all, he has 29.6% in his hand.

With this 29.6% stake, it is already the second largest shareholder of UC, and it will be easier to operate in the future.

As the vice president of strategic investment of Baidu, Tang Song is fully responsible for this acquisition.

Originally, several negotiations between Ah Li, Teng Xun and Han Tang about shareholding, as well as Han and Tang literature and potatoes, collapsed one after another, so that Tang Song was also ready for a tug-of-war.

Tang An also had the intention of selling, but when Tang An said the number, it made Tang Song feel like he had been tricked.

29.6% of the shares, Tang An is willing to sell them all, but the opening is a sky-high price of 6 billion yuan.

Tang Song was choked and couldn't bargain, so he held back the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Tang Dong, our Baidu is very sincere, if you don't want to make a move, forget it!"

Tang An shook his head secretly in his heart, knowing that he would react this way when he heard his offer.

But after three or four months, the 29.6% of the shares can be sold so much, and you can't sell them at a loss.

This also gave Tang Song room for a bargain, and Tang An didn't mind making a move in advance if he had two or three hundred million less, and it was not impossible to exchange money for time.

Tang An said with a smile, "Mr. Tang, the price of 6 billion is definitely not high, Baidu already has the largest traffic in China, from the perspective of business fit, browser and search are definitely a natural pair, once the world's powerful Internet companies go deep into one of them, then they will inevitably be involved in the other, such as Google and Microsoft, once you win UC, the valuation of the entire UC will at least double, and Baidu's stock price will also usher in a wave of rise." ”

That's right, in 2008, Pingguo and Google set off the mobile Internet revolution only showed signs, they began to inquire about the UC, which had become the absolute boss of mobile browsers in China at that time, hoping to extend Baidu's huge advantages on the PC side to the mobile phone side as soon as possible.

Because some data show that almost all of Baidu's traffic on the mobile terminal at that time came from UC, which is absolutely unacceptable to Baidu, which has the largest traffic in China, and it is easy to fall into the situation of inefficient traffic utilization and being controlled by others.

But the high price of 6 billion is definitely unacceptable to Tang Song.

Not to mention him, the top management of Baidu will definitely not allow it.

Previously, Baidu's highest valuation of UC was only 2 billion US dollars, and the highest authority he could control the 29.6% of the shares was only 3.9 billion yuan.

But Tang An opened 6 billion at once, which is half higher.

Seeing that Tang An's expression didn't look like a joke, Tang Song remembered Tang An's famous soft and hard not to eat.

I don't know how many institutions have wanted to buy shares since Tang An established Hantang Media Group, and now there have been at least fifty or sixty inquiries from domestic and foreign institutions in the past few years.

There are also Han and Tang Dynasty literature, Tudou.com, and many requests for capital injection have also been rejected.

Faced with such a negotiation object who did not enter the oil and salt, Tang Song was also speechless.

It's just that as Tang An said, the browser and the search engine are definitely an excellent match, and they can definitely play the role of 1+1>3.

What's more, he understands the economic situation of Hantang Media, and owes a total of 3.5 billion loans to the bank, which can not be repaid in a few movies.

He persuaded, "Tang Dong, as far as we know, you took the 16.6% stake from Xiaomi's Mr. Lei at a valuation of nearly 8 billion yuan, and now it has only been two or three months, or you look at 3.5 billion, compared to the investment, you have earned at least 1 billion yuan." ”

3.5 billion...

It is impossible for Tang An to make a move.

He shook his head and said, "Mr. Tang, let's not beat around the bush, I'm a more direct person, at present, except for Tengxun, who has a QQ browser, is not interested in UC, Ah Li is also launching the acquisition of UC, compared to you, Ah Li is more eager, after all, Di Bao has just blocked WeChat, and it is the time to be extremely thirsty for mobile traffic. ”

"Ah Li can buy Cultural China at a premium of double the premium, and I believe that they will not be stingy in acquiring UC. ”

There is nothing to talk about at all, the bottom line between the two sides is too different, Tang An can only dispel their thoughts, even if they think they are insatiable or "crazy".

Indeed, Tang Song thought Tang An was crazy.

How can a mere culture China compare with UC, the two are not at the same level at all, and for Internet companies, none of the 10 cultural China is important to a UC.

Moreover, the market value of Cultural China is only a little, and the premium can be recovered by doubling the stock.

If UC doubles the premium, it will be tens of billions of cash, and unless Ma Yun is stupid, he will spend tens of billions more.

He finally understood that Tang An didn't want to talk about it at all, so he was expelled at a sky-high price.

There was no need to talk about it, Tang Song chatted for a while and was ready to leave.

"Tang Dong, then I will leave first, if you change your mind and want to make a move, please feel free to contact me. ”

Tang Song said politely before leaving.

Tang An smiled, "Certainly, Mr. Tang also asked me to go back and tell Chairman Li my plan." ”

Tang Song smiled and said, "I will tell you the truth." ”

Tell you to be paralyzed, 6 billion to buy nearly 30% of the shares, a fool is talented, see how long you can cover.

Send Yu Song away.

Tang An shook his head helplessly, if it were him, he would think he was crazy without foresight.

Let's hold these shares in our hands for three or four months, and then talk about it then.

Before the Spring Festival, Tang An invited the whole group to get together and held a grand annual meeting, and then continued to devote himself to the work of the Spring Festival stalls.

In order to face the competition of "Journey to the West", Nuomi Movie smashed 60 million in one go.

50 million were used on "Hong Kong", and the pre-sale data was a big step ahead of "Journey to the West".

And as the release time approaches, the daily advance ticket office is also rising.

It is foreseeable that on the 29th of the year, the day before the official release, the advance ticket office will reach a rare peak.

Everything is developing on a good side, and the high box office in the early stage is enough for the theater to give a higher film schedule, and it is not a problem to suppress "Journey to the West".

For Tang An, the situation is very good, but for his opponent Hua Yi, the situation is not so good.

......

Huayi Brothers Group, large conference room.

In the past two days, it has been difficult to suppress the negative news about the box office of "Zodiac", but the popularity of "Hong Kong" on the Internet is even higher than that of "Journey to the West".

It's all because of the 60 million ticket supplement!

The power of ticket supplement, Wang Zhongjun, has also seen that he can push up "Zodiac", which has been released for a month, by nearly 100 million, so that he doesn't need to use the box office.

However, now 90% of the 60 million votes are used for "Hong Kong", and the ticket supplement for "Journey to the West" has long been used up.

In just one month, the ticket supplement for several movies has dropped by more than 80 million, which has also made the installation of glutinous rice movies higher and higher day by day.

Every installer is a potential audience.

And the popularity of "Hong Kong Embarrassment" on the glutinous rice movie is much higher than that of "Journey to the West".

Wang Zhongjun looked around and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have any ideas, the pre-sale box office of "Hong Kong" has exceeded 50 million, and it is expected to reach 80 million pre-sales before the release, which can easily affect the theater schedule." ”
