Chapter 871: Ultimatum?
After Lu Kun entered, Gu Mei became a pot of porridge.
Some people hope that he will be able to come out, and some people hope that he will not come out.
After all, the position of chairman of Gumei Electric Appliances has been coveted by many people for a long time.
As the second largest shareholder of Gumei, Sun Ziyi, his standing in line is particularly important.
With the support of Sun Ziyi, Chen Xiao, president of Gumei Electric Appliances, sat in the position of chairman of the board of directors and began to lead Gumei's "de-landing", and joined forces with SoftBank to try to dilute Lu Kun's equity in Gumei, and sued Lu Kun.
No one expected that Lu Kun, who held the title of the richest man in China, would end up with such an ending, and the trees fell and scattered, which was very miserable.
For a while, rumors spread in the market, mainly including these three mainstream views.
One is that in order to compete for the position of the leader in the home appliance industry, Su Bo Electric designed to send Lu Kun to prison.
One is the revenge of the e-commerce, because Liu Jiang was instigated by Lu Kun to defect.
One is that Lu Kun offended people who shouldn't be offended.
There are many people who believe in each statement, and there are many discussions on the Internet, and the people are idle and happy.
"I didn't expect to carry the black pot to General Liu, it's really interesting. Liu Chen browsed a forum, and someone wrote a long post, which dialectically discussed in detail the cause of the revenge of Lu Kun, and analyzed various evidence.
"Although Su Bo is behind us together, but people are at least the beneficiaries of this incident, not to mention anything else, since Lu Kun was taken away by the police for investigation, Gumei Electric's stock has been plummeting, on the other hand, Su Bo Electric has no good news, but it is red all the way. Cao Rong said helplessly.
Liu Chen said: "If Su Bo grasps this opportunity, it is not impossible to surpass Gu Mei in one fell swoop, of course, the premise is that Gu Mei's internal disputes cannot be resolved in a short period of time." ”
In his previous life, Lu Kun entered because of economic problems, and the same is true in this life, but the time is three years earlier.
But this also shows a problem - Lu Kun is indeed suspected of economic crimes, not the so-called framing of others.
If it weren't for someone who caught the handle, it would still be too difficult to send a richest man to prison.
Liu Chen said with a smile: "If Lu Kun knows that it was General Liu who reported him, I don't know if he will be half angry, after all, this is the person he personally dug up." ”
"Lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot, I guess I even have the heart to die. Cao Rong sighed.
"But even if there is no Liu Jiang, Lu Kun will have an accident sooner or later, he has the quality of a successful entrepreneur, but there is also a problem, that is, he is too bold, so big that he dares to play side ball and challenge the bottom line of the law, which is his own death. ”
"In order to seek short-term economic benefits and take risks, Lu Kun was planted here. Liu Chen said while tapping his fingers on the table.
Cao Rong asked curiously, "Then do you think Lu Kun still has a chance to make a comeback?"
"Of course!" replied Liu Chen, almost without thinking.
"Even if he is in prison, he can still remotely control Gumei's huge machine, but after he comes out, he is no longer the richest man in the shopping mall. ”
Cao Rong sighed: "Yes, the world is changing too fast, even if you stop for a moment, you may be left behind." ”
"Sun Ziyi's phone?" Liu Chen lowered his head and glanced at his phone, a little surprised.
After Liu Chen hung up the phone, Cao Rong asked, "What is he looking for you?"
"It's strange that they said they wanted to talk to me, but the person was already downstairs. Liu Chen waved his hand.
Cao Rong frowned when she heard this, she didn't know why, at this time, Sun Ziyi came to the door, which always gave people a feeling of unease.
Five minutes later, Sun Ziyi appeared in Cao Rong's office.
"I don't know what Mr. Sun asked me to talk about?" Liu Chen went straight to the point.
"A billion billion, invest in your e-commerce and geekbar. This time, Sun Ziyi didn't go around and around.
"Of course, it's still dollars. After finishing speaking, Sun Ziyi did not forget to add such a sentence.
Liu Chen was quite calm after listening to this, but Cao Rong's jaw was about to fall in shock.
She had seen the Forbes 2004 China Rich List before, and one billion dollars was enough to rank in the top 20.
"Last time it was 100 million, this time it is 1 billion, Mr. Sun is really rich. Liu Chen said with a smile.
"My sincerity is already here, as for how to choose, it's up to you. Sun Ziyi's attitude this time is obviously a little different from the past, although it is still quite polite, but there is a hint of condescension.
Liu Chen didn't like this feeling very much: "One billion dollars, I don't think Mr. Sun can take it out all at once." ”
was told the truth by Liu Chen, Sun Ziyi's face was slightly unsightly: "The amount of one billion US dollars is indeed quite large, so we plan to complete the capital injection within five years." ”
Hearing this, Liu Chen smiled in his heart, in 2005, it is estimated that no company in the whole of Asia can get a billion dollars of liquidity. But if you put it in 2015 or 2017, let alone a billion dollars, tens of billions of dollars of investment and mergers and acquisitions will also occur from time to time.
"Mr. Sun spent so much money, it should be more than just a capital injection, or it is more appropriate to say that it is an acquisition. Liu Chen looked at Sun Ziyi and said.
"One billion dollars for 60% of the shares. Sun Ziyi finally said what he wanted. "Although we at SoftBank are the largest shareholders, we will not interfere with your management of the company, and you still enjoy autonomy. ”
"The control of the company is in the hands of others, so what kind of autonomy can we talk about?" Liu Chen asked rhetorically.
Sun Ziyi shook his head and said: "Our focus is on Internet investment, managing companies or something, and we are not keen on it. ”
"It seems that today is going to disappoint Mr. Sun again, as I said last time, I still have enough money on hand. Liu Chen said lightly, a fool will believe in autonomy or something, Ma Yun and Sun Ziyi are still in the honeymoon period, and there will be many contradictions in a few years, and the VIE incident in 2011 is a big explosion of contradictions: the founder and management team of Alibao headed by Ma Yun feel that this company is what we did and cannot have nothing to do with us; Sun Ziyi and Yahoo America feel that we are funders, bosses, you are part-time workers, and you are at most a housekeeper.
Sun Ziyi frowned, although he didn't know how many times he had been rejected by Liu Chen, but he was still unwilling to give up: "As far as I know, you have invested a lot of money in order to build a super logistics center, although you still have some investment in the United States, but the money is stocks, not liquid, in order to lay out a super logistics center in China as soon as possible, you should need funds very much now." ”
Liu Chen's heart sank slightly, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything. Sun Ziyi obviously came prepared today, and he has a clear understanding of his current financial situation.
"As soon as you sign the contract, there will be 300 million calls immediately, and I think 300 million dollars is enough to build five super logistics centers. Sun Ziyi swore that it was not his arrogance, but his invincibility in the field of Internet investment, and his belief that he could not buy a company without money.
"I admit that 300 million US dollars will allow me to build a super logistics center in the eastern coastal cities as quickly as possible, so that the market of e-commerce can expand rapidly. After finishing speaking, Liu Chen's words changed: "But didn't Mr. Sun invest in Alibao, and he is still the largest shareholder, why should he invest in me at this time." ”
"I think Mr. Sun shouldn't know about Mr. Sun's visit today. ”
Liu Chen looked at Sun Ziyi with a smile, as if he wanted to see him through, there must be a demon when things go wrong, and the east will be merged into Alibao, and the e-commerce can now be said to be Alibao's biggest competitor.
Sun Tzu said unhurriedly: "I think you should have heard the truth that your eggs should not be put in the same basket." ”
"Hehe, Mr. Sun is really a shrewd investor. Liu Chenpi didn't smile.
For Sun Ziyi, he certainly has some admiration in his heart, but it is because of his investment talent.
Judging from his character, Liu Chen is not very willing to deal with such a person.
In Ma Yun's words, Sun Ziyi is an iron rooster, and he only has three things in his head, SoftBank!
So no matter from which point of view, Sun Ziyi is not the object that Liu Chen wants to work with.
Invest in Ba E-commerce and Geekabr to become the largest shareholder, and the worst outcome is nothing more than being acquired by Alibao.
And if Ba E-commerce and Geekbar develop better than Alibao, under his manipulation, the final outcome is that Ba E-commerce acquires Alibao.
No matter what, Sun Ziyi can be invincible and maximize his benefits.
"Now there is a huge opportunity in front of you, accepting our investment from SoftBank, Ba E-commerce will be able to keep pace with Alibao in the future and become a world-class large enterprise. Sun Ziyi's tone inevitably revealed a hint of condescension.
Cao Rong stood aside and looked a little nervous, after all, this was a huge acquisition involving a billion US dollars, as long as Liu Chen agreed, he could instantly become the richest young man in China, and even the richest young man in the world.
Liu Chen took a sip and said, "Mr. Sun, in fact, even without your SoftBank's investment, our e-commerce company can become a giant in the Chinese e-commerce industry, among the world's top 500 companies and dominate the top, as for geekabr, his potential is not weaker than that of e-commerce." ”
Sun Ziyi's face was a little unpleasant, he had already wasted a lot of tongue in this matter, but Liu Chen didn't buy it, which really made him a little annoyed.
"Brother Liu, young people are inevitably a little young and vigorous, and I can understand it, because I was also young. The smile on Sun Ziyi's face suddenly became a little weird: "Lao Tzu's "Good as Water" wrote: The rigid is easy to break, and the good is like water. ”
Liu Chen felt the taste of threat from Sun Ziyi's words, a trace of displeasure crossed his eyes, he hated others threatening him: "This is not a matter of Mr. Sun's bother, I think there are still many companies waiting for your investment in this world, but it is not unfortunate that we don't need e-commerce and geekbar." ”
The words were all said and done, Sun Ziyi knew that it was useless to say more, so he left after saying goodbye.
After Sun Ziyi left, Cao Rong asked: "Liu Chen, why do I think that Sun Ziyi came to the door today, revealing something weird." ”
Liu Chen's eyes rolled, and he also noticed that something was wrong: "If I'm not mistaken, Alibao should be about to launch an offensive against us, and today's Sun Ziyi's arrival is equivalent to an ultimatum." ”
