Chapter 945: Rite of Passage
"Not for sale!"
Two words popped out of Li Xueling's mouth categorically, with burning eyes and a resolute expression. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"In my early years, I was a reporter for China Youth Daily, and I interviewed many Internet bigwigs, including Ding Sanshi, Zhou Hongwei, Ma Huateng, and Chairman Lei next to me. This experience allowed me to see the early days of China's Internet, and also witnessed how Ma Huateng and Ding Sanshi turned a small company with only a dozen people from a small company to its current huge scale step by step. ”
"Since then, I have been thinking about it, and I have a dream of '100 million dollars' in my heart! I hope that one day, I can also make a company worth more than 100 million dollars. Later, with the help of Chairman Lei, I obtained a valuable start-up capital, and with your strong support, I have come to this point step by step. Today, Tencent is willing to pay 150 million US dollars to acquire our company, and my '100 million US dollar dream' can be declared complete!"
"But is this the end?"
Li Xueling's eyes widened, waved his hands, and said impassionedly.
"Obviously, this is not a dream, but a dream is a career that I am willing to fight for all my life!"
"I know very well that once I accept Tencent's offer. So all of you, at least five of us can become billionaires, and I'm one of the five! The rest of us are multimillionaires, enough to put all of us in the upper echelons of society, but can that be called 'success'?"
"Success is about opportunity, and this opportunity is not something you can buy with money. And the era of more play, YY voice, and the overall reunion that includes them is the opportunity we have now, and are you willing to sell this opportunity for 150 million dollars?"
Li Xueling took a deep breath and looked around at everyone, "My decision is not to sell, so what about everyone? Raise your hand to vote, raise your hand if you don't sell, and sit and don't move if you agree to sell!"
Everyone in the audience looked at each other, and even though their heads were not moving, their eyes were constantly moving.
They all know in their hearts that some of the people present feel that the era of joy can go further, and some feel that when they get the money, their lives will be easy, and those who are tempted and those who are not tempted are there.
In particular, once the dust settles on the matter, those who disagree with each other will inevitably be excluded and purged.
Therefore, everyone is waiting and watching.
However, it is more shareholders who are judging by profits, and it is precisely this group of people who are reluctant to sell.
Therefore, most of everyone's attention still falls on the group of technical backbone teams that started a business with Li Xueling.
Someone moved, hesitated, and raised their hands in apprehension.
"Not for sale!"
It was as if it was a signal, a spark that instantly ignited the entire peaceful grassland.
One voice after another came out, more and more passionate and loud.
"Not for sale!"
"Not for sale!"
"Not for sale!"
.......
In the blink of an eye, in the bright conference room, only the three most influential people were left before they raised their hands.
The representative of GGV, Lu Heng, and Chairman Lei Jun!
The representative of GGV is a blonde and blue-eyed white man with a non-standard but fluent Mandarin language, so he was sent to China by GGV to specialize in investment matters.
I have to say that he is very optimistic about the company, which only invested 23 million US dollars in April.
But he never imagined that after only three months of investment, someone directly wanted to buy the company, and it was menacing.
Xu Chenhua talked to him, and in addition to the conditions he should have, there were even some conditions that were different from others.
Once GGV is willing to sell its shares, Xu Chenhua is willing to represent Tencent and carry out two-way cooperation with GGV in the international market and the mainland market, and the benefits will not be less than those that the Huanju era may bring to them.
After all, the cooperation with Tengxun is a thing that many venture capitalists are eager to do.
However, this white man was still a little hesitant, and only then invested in a potential enterprise, and immediately withdrew, and his evaluation of the headquarters was not very good.
So at this time, he was also caught in the battle between heaven and man, and then handed over the final judgment to the other two people.
Lu Heng and Lei Jun, these two people can be said to have the greatest say in the era of happy gathering, except for Li Xueling.
Once they are willing to sell, then there is no need for them to insist.
As if he had figured out the intentions of the GGV representative, the corners of Lu Heng's mouth curled, and he glanced at Lei Jun beside him.
"Not for sale!"
"Not for sale!"
The two words of "not for sale" in unison, coupled with the hands raised at the same time, made the GGV representative breathe a long sigh.
"I also agree not to sell!"
For a while, in the conference room, everyone's hands were held high, and they didn't need to count them to know the result.
Li Xueling's agitated void pressed down, and his tone was slightly choked.
"Thank you!"
"Thank you for your support and trust in me, then about the acquisition letter sent by Tencent, I think I can send it back with confidence, this is what I mean, and what everyone means, everyone expects it, presumably Tengxun will not move our minds again in the future!"
"Of course, we all know very well what we will face after refusal. After all, the instant messaging market is a no-fly zone for penguins, and anyone who dares to dabble in it will be mercilessly sniped by the other party. But we raccoons are not afraid of challenges, and we have been developing in a low-key manner for so long, and we have accumulated enough technology now! It's time to start meeting the crushing of giants and fighting bigger storms!"
"I, Li Xueling, swear here, that I will definitely bring this company to a place that no one else dreams of reaching, and live up to the expectations of anyone here!"
.......
Under the temptation of huge money, you can keep your heart and remain unmoved.
This is not something that ordinary people can do!
Lu Heng shook hands with Li Xueling and encouraged, "I believe you can do it!"
Li Xueling hummed, with a faint sense of loss in his heart for the more than 100 million net worth that had left him, but more of an expectation of the next challenge, he had already put it to death, and there would never be a stronger determination than now!
"I'm sorry to delay you for so many days. ”
Lu Heng smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, after all, I can understand the time you need to think about." But are you mentally prepared for Tencent's next move?"
Li Xueling replied with a solemn gaze: "There must be psychological preparation, but it depends on the other party's shot, so I can deal with it." ”
Lu Heng began to think back to the series of products released by Tengxun later, and his demeanor began to be solemn.
"Although you are also in the instant messaging market, it is not a text chat tool like QQ, but more voice and video communication, and it involves the field of games. If Tengxun starts, it will definitely be in these two directions, you pay a little attention. ”
Li Xueling felt the same way, but he still said confidently: "Tengxun also did Q-talk business back then, but they failed. This comeback, although there is a user advantage of QQ, but the entire market is shrouded in YY voice, my layout has been completed, and I am not afraid. On the contrary, I just had a little feeling that the acquisition of Tengxun was precisely a coming-of-age ceremony for our happy gathering era. ”
A rite of passage?
Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, it seemed that there was really such a meaning in it.
"Okay, since you're ready, then I won't say much, wait for the company to go public when the time comes, and I'll enjoy the results. Let's go!"
"Walk slowly, the next time we meet, you will definitely be surprised!"
Lu Heng smiled and waved goodbye to Li Xueling, but when he walked to the revolving door, he stopped again.
In Li Xueling's surprised eyes, Lu Heng pointed to the building next to him.
"Is there any office space available for rent over there?"
