Chapter 57 Wholly Owned Acquisition Impossible

Because Yang Yu played a blockbuster card this time, so that when the advertising promotion of WeChat was launched and there were already millions of downloads, Tencent realized that this was a huge threat to their dominance. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Because Yang Yu's confidentiality work was done very well during the development, and after deciding the release date and promotion, it was not a small fuss, but contacted all Internet portals and platforms other than Tencent, as well as a large number of Internet water armies, and carried out comprehensive advertising promotion.

After all, the investment of 200 million yuan is not in vain, and at this time, people's curiosity has not been immunized by the bombardment of various online advertisements in later generations, so many netizens chose to download and register curiously after seeing the advertisement, after seeing the functions and related introductions of WeChat.

After registration, WeChat will automatically prompt users to add new friends to their mobile phone address book, as well as WeChat's drifting bottle function.

This drifting bottle function, at the beginning of the use of it must not be used by many people, but Yang Yu asked Liu Hong and them to write a large number of drifting bottle content, many of which are written in a female voice, this is also to make people who have just used this function curious, let them know that this is a new way to make friends.

Of course, the most important function of WeChat, the voice intercom function, is the focus, and this function is definitely a novelty at present.

And just when WeChat's promotional advertisements spread all over the Internet, Tencent's senior management immediately gathered together to discuss relevant countermeasures.

"Mr. Ma, this WeChat is a huge threat to us, and it is fierce, and the company behind it has invested a lot in it, and we must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, I have seen the function of this WeChat, and I have to say that its R&D staff is definitely a great talent, and the other party did not disclose any news at the beginning, and now it is only released, and such a huge amount of money has been invested in promotion. ”

"Their purpose in doing this is definitely to be able to quickly occupy the market before we detect and come up with countermeasures, and now I have two plans, the first is that we immediately contact this company and propose to acquire them. The second option is for us to immediately assemble a team, develop a similar software, and then use our strengths to compete with it. ”

In fact, this method is also the consistent practice of penguins.

It's just that they have met small companies that have just developed before, although the things they developed are popular, but they have been on fire for a long time, and then at this time, Penguin has not been able to acquire, and has developed corresponding products during this time period.

In this way, they used their own user advantages to quickly defeat the opponent's genuine.

However, Yang Yu, who had been prepared, naturally did not want to repeat the mistakes of those small companies.

Although his company is not large at the moment, it can still get the money.

After Penguin knew that the company that developed WeChat was actually in Shenzhen, they contacted Yang Yu's Huanyu Network Technology Company on the same day.

And Yang Yu himself soon got the news, he did not let people refuse the acquisition request of the penguin, saying that they could negotiate in person.

So the next day, Penguin sent a vice president to the company to meet and discuss with Li Yuxin.

"Mr. Li, our intention this time, compared to you, I will not say much, our company intends to invest 2 billion to complete the wholly-owned acquisition of your company and related products WeChat. ”

At this time, Penguin is already the super predator of the domestic Internet, and the market value of the entire company has reached more than 30 billion US dollars, which is also among the top 20 Internet companies in the world, which is much better than Alibaba at this time, and is also several times stronger than Baidu, and the market value of Baidu at this time is only more than 10 billion US dollars.

"Mr. Wu, Mr. Yang said that our company will not accept any wholly-owned acquisition, but it can accept financing. So we can only apologize for your request. ”

"Oh, that's a pity, but since your company is willing to accept financing, I don't know how many shares you are willing to sell?"

"At present, our company only plans to take out 20% of the shares for financing, and these 20% of the shares will be sold at a price of 2 billion. ”

When the penguin boss heard this, he shook his head gently, "It seems that your company has no sincerity at all, since this is the case, then I will leave." ”

According to the price Li Yuxin said, 20% will cost 2 billion, which means that now this WeChat is worth 10 billion?

In his view, this is simply a lion's mouth, and he has no intention of selling shares at all.

However, the value of WeChat accounted for half of the market value of Penguin in later generations, which is dozens of times that of 10 billion now.

In this way, Yang Yu is still losing money by selling 20% of his shares at a price of 2 billion.

However, Yang Yu's positioning of WeChat's company is very clear, that is, he cannot occupy 100% of the shares alone, and at most he can be a major shareholder.

After all, such a big interest is not something that he can monopolize alone, and he must pull an ally.

So, financing is definitely going to be done, and the key is when to do it and at what price.

And now is obviously not the best time to raise money, so the 2 billion, 20 percent is also an excuse.

Only after WeChat occupies the market will he have more right to speak.

And because his promotion work came very quickly, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money on advertising, which is much more ferocious than the small companies that Penguin has killed before.

In addition, Yang Yu also knows how to upgrade WeChat and how to make it more sticky, so he is not afraid that Penguin will use copycats to kill his genuine version.

Because when the penguin side copies a software with the same function as WeChat comes out, then at this time, Yang Yu will launch an upgraded version and add some new functions to WeChat.

For example, Weibo in the previous life is a good example, Weibo was the first to be launched by Sina, and then Penguin made a Weibo itself not long after Sina Weibo was launched, but in the end it still failed to successfully kill Sina Weibo.

This is because Renjia is not a small company, and although it is inferior to you in terms of capital and other aspects, it does not mean that you can do it if you want to.

At this time, Sina Weibo has begun to launch an internal beta version.

Yang Yu feels that the reason why WeChat can become popular has a lot to do with its name, because after the launch of WeChat, there are also a lot of software popping up, even if the original WeChat does not have a penguin as a background.

With the same resources, WeChat can also beat other similar software.

Because its name WeChat, two words, and Weibo are very similar. In other words, as long as Weibo becomes popular, it will bring corresponding advertising effects to WeChat.

After all, the difference between the two is just one word, and they are also tools for Internet communication.

Therefore, now Yang Yu is not afraid that the penguins will copy him and then use his own resources to defeat him.
