Chapter 443: Depressed Mr. Ding

Best partners, Asia star capital, Goo venture investment, how can these shareholders gather so many shares?"

With the list of new shareholders that have been announced recently, Ding Shi is a little confused, there are no such companies among the top ten shareholders in the last period, and now the announcement suddenly pops up, obviously someone behind the completion of the reintegration of the network poly shares, otherwise it would not be so centralized announcement.

Is this the Aurora Department going to seize power over the network gathering behind the scenes? Looking at these announcements, Ding Shi, who was originally in high spirits, was suddenly blinded.

The combined shares of the three major shareholders of the new announcement are more than 60% of the shares, and if the Aurora Department is not involved in this matter, Ding Shi will definitely not believe it.

It's just that what he can't understand is that it is clear that the Aurora Department only got less than 29 percent of the shares it transferred, how could it become a majority controlling in a blink of an eye, how many shares did it acquire in the market, and who did they reach the majority controlling after transferring their shares to them?

Although these things don't seem to be important now, they are very important for judging the other party's intentions, after Ding Shi sold his shares, there are less than 30% left, if these three join forces to get the dominance of the network gathering, Ding Shi has no way at all.

Thinking of this, Ding Shi couldn't sit still any longer, and directly contacted Zhao Shaodong to ask to meet and talk about the change in Wangju's shares. Regarding Ding Shi's question, Zhao Shaodong simply admitted that he was acquiring shares behind the scenes, and agreed to meet and talk.

A meeting room at the Hong Kong Marriott.

When Ding Shi, who was in the dust, saw Zhao Shaodong, he felt completely uncomfortable.

"Richard, you really hide this hand deep enough, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect to fall before dawn at all. ”

"William, I can't say that, after all, you are the largest shareholder, and the future network party will be even stronger, so we still have to look forward. Listening to Ding Shi's somewhat dissatisfied and even more complaining words, Zhao Shaodong smiled and said.

"It just so happens that we have some ideas that can take the network to the next level, so today we will talk privately and communicate. ”

Is this a poor dagger? Ding Shi felt even more bitter in his heart. At this point, he can't even say no.

"Are these three companies in your name?" Ding Shi asked with some reluctance. As long as there is one that is not, he still has a greater right to speak, after all, everyone can work together according to their own ability.

"William, this matter is not important," Zhao Shaodong waved his hand, he knew the other party's thoughts very well, "Although I only own one of them, the other two are my partner Mr. Chu Luo and Miss Annie respectively. ”

Since the conversation has been spread out today, Zhao Shaodong will not hide it and go straight to the point.

"Best partners is under my name, Asia star capital is a company owned by Mr. Chu Luo, and Goo venture investment is a sole proprietorship of Miss Annie. The three of us split these shares only for the sake of the new development of the future network gathering. In terms of future actions, the three of us agreed to act in concert. ”

"That's the case," Ding Shi's only disillusionment in his heart was shattered, and he said with bitterness, "You have decided to reorganize the network gathering?"

surfaced, if there were no major changes, Ding Shi couldn't think of Zhao Shaodong that they would do this.

"No, no, William, we don't have any idea of restructuring the company, to be honest, no one has been better done by you, and we have a lot of trust in the management of Wangju. Zhao Shaodong shook his head and said.

Ding Shi was stunned for a moment, if you don't reshuffle the management of Wangju, why are you doing this?

However, as soon as Zhao Shaodong said this, Ding Shi suddenly had a glimmer of hope in his heart, after the development of Wangju took a turn for the better, Ding Shi actually had a very good idea in his heart, and he secretly began to re-acquire the shares of Wangju, but whether it was the management or the shares circulating in the market, Ding Shi found that there was nothing to start.

Originally, when Ding Shi saw last year's annual report, the top ten shareholders still had no change, and there was still an illusion in his heart that the Aurora Department had only taken about 29% of the shares, which had little impact on the overall situation.

Who knew that today, the Aurora Department is really dark enough, the three have added up to more than 60 percent, 17 percent of Baister, 17 percent of Yaxing Capital, and 28.5 percent of Gaowei Venture Capital!

"Our purpose in consolidating these shares is to privatize Wangju in the NASDAQ market and then re-list it in Hong Kong. Zhao Shaodong didn't go around in circles, and directly said his plans here.

"Why?" Ding Shi heard that the other party actually thought like this, "I think the NASDAQ is very good, and now our stock price can also rise, and it is about to quadruple." ”

"That's because we're sweeping the stock and basically eating up all the outstanding shares, and the transaction price is not the real price. Zhao Shaodong said with some embarrassment, after all, doing this kind of thing behind people's backs, although there is no problem from the legal level, it still seems a little unauthentic.

Ding Shi then understood why the other party held so many shares in his hands, transferred by himself, and tradable shares, and believed that those institutional shareholders who disappeared were also eaten by the other party.

"Frankly speaking, even with the current development of NetJu, it is still very difficult to refinance and get money on the NASDAQ. Zhao Shaodong continued, "According to our plan, the next round of development of network gathering still needs a relatively large amount of money to drive." ”

"Your plan?" Ding Shi heard this, his heart was full of congestion, and he felt that his company had already become someone else's plan.

"Don't care about these details," Zhao Shaodong was full of sourness when he heard this, "William, it's our plan together, and the network gathering is our common cause, but this matter has just been straightened out, and I haven't had time to communicate with you yet." ”

You haven't had time to inform me yet, have you?" Ding Shi thought to himself, but this time he didn't interrupt the other party's speech.

"Now the game business of the network gathering has been on the right track, and the network gathering post bar is also developing very well, but we found that in the portal, the network is far from the first in the industry, we are very optimistic about the development of the mainland network, and think that in the future, people will use the Internet as the main channel for obtaining news and other information, even more than TV!"

In Liu Ruoyi's all-media plan, network gathering is a crucial part, and Liu Ruoyi has made plans and arrangements in this link, so she will take an extreme acquisition method in the process of starting with network gathering.

And this time to re-divide the shares, Liu Ruoyi also paid a considerable cash consideration to get a larger part of these shares. If it weren't for Zhao Shaodong and Chu Luo's feelings, Liu Ruoyi would even want to take all these shares of Wangju.

It could even be considered for shares in other companies, including the now extremely hot Aurora Media.

It's just that this idea flashed in Liu Ruoyi's mind, although Zhao Shaodong and Chu Luo will not have too many opinions on the current arrangement, but considering the huge prospect of network gathering in the future, this kind of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, Liu Ruoyi does not want to be criticized for a lifetime.

As long as the future can control these companies to follow the route they are familiar with, it is enough to continue to grow and develop, Liu Ruoyi does not want to, and it is impossible to catch all these high-quality assets.

"You guys actually look at it like this, Richard, isn't this a little too radical," Ding Shi was a little stunned, to be honest, he did this business, but now he is not as confident as Zhao Shaodong said, what is the TV audience now? How many netizens are there, it is still an order of magnitude difference, Zhao Shaodong They have already seen a time when they are more powerful than TV.

Will this happen in 10 years, 20 years, or 30 years?

"It's not radical at all, think about the speed of the increase in the number of netizens in the past two years, if the number of mainland netizens will quadruple to more than 200 million in the next five years, William, do you think it's possible?" Zhao Shaodong repeated Liu Ruoyi's judgment.

"Will it really develop so fast?" Ding Shi was a little confused by Zhao Shaodong, quadrupling in 5 years, and the annual growth rate must exceed 30 percent, can it really maintain such a growth rate in the future?

"That's what we expected, and we think it's very likely, but in any case, the pace of development in this industry is certainly unimaginably high, and we must now be prepared for these extraordinary developments. Zhao Shaodong continued.

"Therefore, we hope that online gathering can become the first platform of choice for netizens after the explosion of netizens," Zhao Shaodong still trusts Liu Ruoyi's plan very much.

"The media of the future world is the era of all media, and we hope that Wangju and Aurora Media can form a very good strategic cooperative relationship and become a common winner in the future era of all media. ”

Hearing this, Ding Shi understood a little, and dared to feel that he had become a cornerstone in the other party's grand plan, although Ding Shi didn't know much about the other party's plan now, and he was not interested in this grand blueprint.

But the other party has already completed the layout because of this blueprint, and this huge difference in strategy still makes Ding Shi full of frustration.

"So, if you want to reintegrate the network and go public in Xiangjiang, just to raise funds to create this all-media concept?" Ding Shi said tentatively.

"It's not just about online gathering, Aurora CultureNow that we have restructured into Aurora Media, we have completed the introduction of strategic investors, and we will also consider listing and financing in Xiangjiang to go all out to develop our content production end. Zhao Shaodong nodded and said.

According to the vision of our chief strategy officer, most of people's lives, entertainment, and information acquisition in the future will be completed through the Internet, and traditional media such as newspapers, television stations, and radio will be greatly weakened in the future. ”

"Although this day may be far away, if you think about it, if there is really such a day, Wangju plus Aurora Media, it will definitely be the brightest star in the new era. ”

The blueprint drawn by Liu Ruoyi has been deeply accepted by the high-level of the Aurora Department, so in the face of Ding Shi, Zhao Shaodong has begun to bewitch like a pyramid scheme.

"How dare you think about it. Ding Shi shook his head, still not believing all this that Zhao Shaodong described, "If the financing in Xiangjiang is successful, what are the main aspects you plan to invest in?"

He couldn't stop the other party's actions, so he had to see if there was any remedy in the direction, if he could negotiate in advance not to engage in a big and aggressive expansion, the network gathering finally achieved self-profit development, if the other party messed up the good situation because of the other party's blind command, Ding Shi would rather cash out now and leave, out of sight and out of mind!

"Mainly invested in three areas, the first is to continue to strengthen the game business in the entertainment sector, now this market has just started, the future space is very large, our investment to ensure that it becomes the first in the mainland!"

The first cake thrown by Zhao Shaodong made Ding Shi feel better, and now it is not easy to make money, not relying on this game. Since the other party has thought of this, it doesn't seem to be bad.

"The second investment is the network to get posted bar, although this piece of profit is not easy, but in the future people will not only play games and leisure, but also have a lot of needs to exchange their views, as well as ask for help, the development of the network community post bar should be further strengthened to ensure the largest community in China. ”

"The third piece is the portal, our news side to become the same as the mainland CNN, to become the leader of the news of online channels, this investment will be relatively large, the current income realization channels are not many, but the future influence is huge, we have to lose money to do it. ”

As soon as Ding Shi heard the other party's plan, except for the portal, the other two points were what he wanted to do, although the portal is now living in the three families, but the original leading boss has a bit of a deep-rooted taste, if you want to surpass the opponent, this investment is not a little bit of a star.

The collection of news content is very resource-intensive, and it is not easy to monetize, and the price of online advertising may not even cover half of the investment, and I don't know how long to wait if I want to make money.

From Ding Shi's heart, it's good that the portal can be maintained, as long as the paste bar is done well, and the popularity does not fall, there is no big problem with the traffic.

Now the post bar is the foundation of network gathering, and the portal has taken a back seat.

But now does he have a choice?

Forget it, as long as the place where the money is made is controlled, it can still make money, and the rest is up to them, Ding Shi quickly weighed the pros and cons in his heart, nodded at Zhao Shaodong's ideas, and said that he would not object.

This time confirmed the other party's shares and intentions, for Ding Shi, it is a good thing and a bad thing, on the one hand, there is no need to worry about the other party occupying the magpie's nest in the short term, and the bad side is that the dominance of the network gathering has really changed hands, and whether you want to continue to work hard in this area in the future is really worth pondering.

worked hard to make wedding dresses for others, this depression and unwillingness in his heart, Ding Shi can't say if he is bitter.

But who is to blame for all this?

When last year was stormy, everyone wanted to abandon the ship, but now they want to get it back, which is not easy to say.
