This Western-style buffet-style cocktail party has an advantage, that is, it can move around, facilitate communication between guests, pay more attention to social functions, eating and drinking, etc., but it is just an embellishment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wang Bo was led by Li Kai, and his friends in the Shuangqing business community "Hello, hello, everyone", exchanged a few polite words with each other, and after exchanging business cards, the two walked to the central food area, each took some food, and then walked to a no-man's corner, sitting opposite each other.
After sitting down, Li Kai briefly introduced the background of those business friends just now - the scale of the other party's company, its status in the industry, everyone's personality, personality, etc., such as a number of treasures, which not only gave him a reference, but also showed that this playboy is not flowery, and under that graceful face, is a meticulous observation, clear and exquisite heart. After that, Li Kai changed the topic and turned to the Internet industry.
Li Kai said that in view of the current recovery and recovery of the global Internet industry, especially the continuous improvement of the profitability of many companies, at the end of last month, the company's board of directors decided to prepare a premium to redeem 12.67% of the shares of the company that was once held by him.
"We are prepared to double the premium and redeem the portion of the shares you held on behalf of you for $8 million at $16 million. Good boy, it's only been a year, and I've swallowed up the millions I made in pain. A year ago, when you unexpectedly used your full net worth to increase your stake in Pain Xun, in my eyes, you were a gambler, and now, a year later, it turns out that Victor, you are right. Li Kai sighed, and there was appreciation in his tone.
Li Kai wants to redeem Pain Xun's shares? Wang Bo was stunned for a moment, but then thought about Pain Xun's current situation, and felt that it was almost time.
In July last year, Pain Xun ended the vicious circle of burning money for most Internet companies and achieved positive cash flow. At the end of 2001, Pain Xun made a net profit of 10.22 million.
In 2002, with the launch of some new businesses such as Q//Q line and Q//Q show, especially the learning (plagiarism) of peers, such as copying the text messages and ringtones of the new wolf, plagiarizing the dating of the first network to launch their own Q//Q men and women, and learning to Shanda to start getting involved in the game, the profitability of the pain, just like the growth of registered users, is completely a triumphant. According to the internal information obtained by Li Kai, as of May this year, the net profit of Pain Xun has reached more than 40 million, and according to the current profit curve, there is no suspense at all if the net profit exceeds 100 million this year.
Whether a company, especially an Internet company, can be profitable and whether it can continue to be profitable in the eyes of investors are completely different things. The continuous and high-speed growth of the profitability of Pain Xun proves the short-sightedness and misestimation of IDG and Yingke Digital, two Series A investors who were eager to get rid of Pain Xun stocks last year. Since the end of last year, the senior management of IDG has lobbied Wang Bo to buy the shares of Yingke Digital that he has increased holdings, saying that the price is negotiable, but he refused on the grounds that Yingke Digital also wants to buy back and the other party has the right of first refusal.
In addition to IDG, South Africa's MIH Millard Group, which is now the largest shareholder of PainXun, is also lobbying Wang Bo to buy the shares in his hands at a high price, even if he doesn't buy all of them, it is okay to buy some of them. In addition to him, Ma Teng, Zhang Dong, Li Xiaobo, Li Tang, and Chen Bin, the five founding teams are also the targets of MIH's lobbying, and according to Wang Bo's private understanding, many people have reached the intention of partial equity transfer.
Wang Bo was indifferent to the acquisition offer of MIH at that time, saying that there was no possibility of transferring the shares of Painxun for the time being, and he was very optimistic about the future development of Painxun.
Wang Bo pondered for a moment, directly stretched out two fingers, shook Li Kai firmly and powerfully, and said: "Twice, Richard, 24 million, I will return all the 12.67% shares held on behalf of you." ”
Li Kai immediately smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Victor, I knew that double the premium would not satisfy your appetite. Maybe my offer is too late, and if I had made a repurchase offer to you at the end of last year, I wouldn't have been raised by you now. ”
In the repurchase agreement signed between Wang Bo and Li Kai last year, Yingke Digital has the first right of first refusal, but it needs to be repurchased at the market price instead of the original price. What is the market price? If there are no competitors, it is a complete buyer's market, and the price that you are willing to pay to buy a house is the market price. But the current situation is that Li Kai has learned that the two current shareholders of Pain Xun, IDG and MIH, are in contact and actively lobbying Wang Bo. After the emergence of competitors, the market price is whoever has the highest price represents the market price. If things really come to the point where they need to be redeemed by bidding, even if Pacific Century Digital has the right of first refusal, IDG and MIH don't mind raising one or two more signs to make his Pacific Century Digital more bloody.
At this point, Li Kai completely saw the "insidiousness" of the little guy in front of him, dug a pit for him, and he had to jump into it.
However, a businessman, in business, in the case of business, it is understandable to try to expand his own interests if you want to, otherwise this is the exception, and he is not a qualified businessman.
And Wang Bo in front of him in the eyes of Li Kai, is undoubtedly a very good businessman, not only has a unique vision, after identifying the direction, he dares to make a heavy bet to make a ruthless fight, and after seeing the benefits, he knows that it is enough to stop, and he will accept the truth when he sees it, and he did not open his mouth to the lion, and asked for a three-fold, five-fold premium, and only twice as much.
At the moment when Pain Xun basically dominated the mainland instant messaging market, and quickly found a profit model, and triumphantly played on the road to profitability, the double premium was a very loyal and honest act of generosity.
"Hehe, then Richard, do you agree with the price I proposed?Or do you want to wait a little longer, and wait for two years when it is on the market?" Wang Bo looked at Li Kai, who had a wry smile on his face, shaking his head, knowing that the other party would not disagree with the seemingly unreasonable and mean friendship price he proposed, but it was actually kind and sincere.
In fact, IDG is privately willing to pay $30 million for his 12.67% stake in Pacific Century Digital. Wang Bo believed that with Li Kai's vast supernatural powers, he would definitely know the news, as well as the actual losses he suffered and the goodwill he spread to him.
"Don't taunt me. Li Kai glanced at him and said, "Where do I dare to wait? Wait for you to triple or five times in a year or two? This is also the self-inflicted consequences of the old guys on the board. When I resold the shares of Pain Xun a year ago, these people, including me, were complacent and celebrated because I had made millions of dollars in less than two years. When you flew to Hong Kong and persuaded me not to sell my shares, and to wait a little longer, a bunch of old guys on the board of directors still thought that you were too young and too gambling, and you didn't fall behind. Although I didn't say anything at the time, I was still a little unimpressed, and I was not very optimistic about your choice, and now I know that it is not you who can't see the direction clearly, but us old guys. "Just like Mayor Liu said, it's really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves!" Li Kai continued to shake his head and sigh, with a lot of remorse on his face.
"Stop complimenting me, Richard, I'll be proud. Besides, I don't have any long-term vision, but I'm a little more gambling, and I'm a little luckier. This time, if you put all your net worth on the pressure and gamble on the pain, it can be regarded as a ruin, and if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent, and it will never be as light as you see. Wang Bo modestly said, since you have a bargain, then don't be a good man.
The big decision has been negotiated by the two bosses, and the specific transactional operation naturally does not need to worry about the two of them. Li Kai made a phone call to his assistant Li Qing and asked him to immediately start preparing the relevant documents for the transfer of shares. Wang Bo also called his godsister and arranged the same thing.
