1526, Hongmen Feast
Wang Bo "spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain", and felt that this trip to Shenzhen would be a "Hongmen banquet" aimed at him, so before leaving, he urgently called Li Kai to inquire about inside information from the other party. After so many years of communication and cooperation, in addition to the friendship that the two have formed by investing together, Li Kai also invested two million dollars in his "Blog China", and Wang Bo also asked Li Kai to help a lot, such as applying for permanent residence status in Xiangjiang for his godsister.
Therefore, whether it is a bus or a personal relationship, the relationship between the two people with common interests has always been quite good, at least much closer than the relationship between the other party and the five tigers.
On the phone, Li Kai told Wang Bo that Ma Pain had indeed approached him and wanted to buy back some of the shares in his hands, and there was also MIH, and he also wanted the shares in his hands, but through the development of Pain Xun year by year in the past few years, especially unlike other Internet companies that only burn money and do not make profits, but profits are growing rapidly year by year, he felt that Pain Xun is definitely a golden doll, once the boss, the stock price may soar, so he did not agree to the requirements of the two parties.
Wang Bo immediately told Li Kai that he had encountered the same situation.
"Oh, yes?" Li Kai pondered for a while, then smiled and said, "In the venture capital industry, before going public, most founders tried every means to find investors to ask for money, and few founders took the initiative to buy back the shares in the hands of investors at a high price. It seems that Pony has a lot of confidence in the future of Pain Xun. Then, I have to hold on to my shares even more.
"By the way, Victor, two days ago, Pony proposed that the company prepare to increase its capital before the IPO to make the company's financial data look pretty, so that the company can boost the stock price after the IPO, I don't know if Pony said to you?"
"What, increase the capital?" Wang Bo was taken aback, his face immediately changed greatly, he had not been doing business for a day or two, and he immediately saw the conspiracy behind Ma Pain's capital increase -- what boosted the stock price was fake, and it was true that he wanted to dilute his shares! If most of them increased their capital in the same proportion, and he did not follow up, then his stock would be reduced accordingly, and the number of people who followed up would increase. The dog said, the bright one does not come to the dark, it is really a Hongmen feast!
Wang Bo immediately became angry, and immediately said angrily at Li Kai: "Conspiracy, this is Chi Luoluo's conspiracy! Pain Xun's current financial situation is so good, where does it need to increase capital? Even if the money is poor, the money will come as soon as it is listed, and there is a need to increase the capital, but it is just to dilute the investor's shares."
"Okay, since Pony wants to cross the river and tear down the bridge, he turns his face and doesn't recognize people, he is not kind, and I am not righteous! Lao Tzu immediately held a press conference to expose to the outside world that he was ungrateful and ungrateful, and the nature and evil face of the villain who crossed the river and demolished the bridge! Investors do not trust the founder, the company is not in harmony, and contradictions are everywhere, Lao Tzu sees how the stock price of his company will rise after it is listed!"
Li Kai didn't expect Wang Bo's little brother's temper to be so strong, he didn't agree with a word, he directly lifted the table, and started the idea of ending up together and ruining everything, he was startled, and immediately dissuaded on the phone:
"Don't be impulsive, Victor, don't be impulsive! Pony only said that he proposed a capital increase, this shareholders' meeting is just to discuss this matter, everything has not been decided yet, don't be so anxious. I actually don't agree with the capital increase, because it's really unnecessary. I will also make it clear that I am against this matter when the time comes.
However, the purpose of Pony's capital increase, you and I both know, he just wants to let a few founders have absolute control and firmly grasp the control of the company before going public. This, from his standpoint, is not difficult to understand. ”
"I understand a fart! What kind of control? It's like his control over the past few years, and a few of our investors have interfered with his operation—have I interfered with him? Lao Tzu didn't even send a financial officer to supervise the use of his funds, how he managed Pain, how he operated Pain, how to spend money, I didn't interject a word, for the five of them, it was 100% unconditional trust, and what did he want?
"I think that at the beginning, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's life-saving money, he would have been able to survive to this day?
"It's good now, the company has started to make money, and when it is going to be listed, it will start to cross the river and tear down the bridge, turning its face and not recognizing people. He still thought that this society was still a feudal era in which 'all the birds were flying, the good bows were hidden, the cunning rabbits died, and the lackeys cooked'? I told him, no way! Our party had already overthrown feudalism and moved toward the rule of law!
"Richard, I don't care what you and MIH think, I won't eat him anyway. It's a big deal!
"He doesn't want to engage in any conspiracy to increase capital and try to dilute Lao Tzu's shares, this conspiracy, he can't succeed, and he can't see the light, he wants to play, Lao Tzu accompanies him, that is, he fries the pot and sells iron, and he also plays with him to the end!
"Also, from now on, Lao Tzu will install his own people, finance, technology, and operation in pain. I think I, as the third largest shareholder of PainXun, have this right. Since Pony doesn't play cards according to the rules and wants to mess around, let's around.
"Richard, you can tell Pony word for word that no matter how he wants to play, bright and dark, yin and yang, Lao Tzu will accompany him to the end!" Wang Bo said angrily and awe-inspiringly.
Naturally, whether it is angry or awe-inspiring, most of it is just a strategy of struggle that he pretended. He believed that Li Kai would not be brain-dead to tell Pony a few words that would definitely intensify the contradictions. The purpose of saying these words is just to let Li Kai and MIH understand their uncompromising determination, and then tell this meaning clearly and unmistakably to the "Five Tigers of Pain" led by Ma Pain, so that the Five Tigers know that cooperation is beneficial to both sides, and fighting is a defeat for both sides, so don't do any small tricks, small actions, everyone according to the rules, according to the agreement, hello, I am good, everyone, it is best to make money honestly, otherwise, then the chicken and the egg will be beaten, and it will be a loss.
Li Kai is an old fox, of course, he also understands Wang Bo's anger, it is very likely that he is pretending, but if he sees through it or not, he still has to work hard to comfort and persuade him, the little brother who is "out of anger".
Li Kai said to Wang Bo in a heartfelt manner, Ma hurt a few, this time he did something inauthentic, now his interests are the same as him, Ma Pain wants to increase the capital, in order to maintain the proportion of shares, he also has to pay money, he is not bad for this money, but this practice is disgusting. The shares in his hand were all won by Wang Bo, the little brother, for him at the beginning, and he always remembered his kindness, so no matter what, he would stand in the same trench with him and be in unison with the outside world. He guessed that it was estimated that Ma Pain and MIH had already discussed it secretly. But no matter how they discuss and collude, he will oppose this proposal at that time. Half of the shareholders oppose a proposal, even if the other shareholders can hold a controlling stake in the total, they do not dare to force it at this juncture when they are about to go public, so as to avoid causing discord between investors and founders to the outside world. If the shareholders knew about it, where would they dare to buy the shares of such a company? Besides, even if the capital increase, if the two of them followed up together, this conspiracy would be useless.
“…… So, man, don't be angry. In business, everything is negotiable. ”
Wang Bo's anger was a gesture, and after Li Kai's painstaking persuasion, he also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey.
Wang Bo told Li Kai that he is a person, others respect him by an inch, he respects others by an inch; if others want to disregard the morality of the rivers and lakes, he is not afraid of making things bigger, it is a big deal, two good, after playing together, anyway, he has many companies, one has fallen and there is another, he is also young, and he is a little talented, and it is easy to make a comeback. But for some people, he sees if the other party dares to join him in the reckless stud!
Pony is a businessman, businessmen value harmony and make money first, if you know that you are so opposed, for the sake of the overall situation, you will definitely not do it.
"Don't worry, I'll tell Pony well and make it clear to him what you mean. Just wait for the good news. Li Kai laughed and assured Wang Bo.
"Thanks, Richard, I'm waiting for your good news. I'm actually a good talker, as long as others don't come to me. ”
