Chapter 201: Surfacing
Sometimes, Lin Fan really wants to be a person he wants to be. Do what he loves and live the life he wants, but can he really let it go?
If he didn't have today's status, would he be able to meet the governor of the central bank? Would he be able to mingle with a big man like Robin Li? Can he be respected and respected by many people? People are a process of constantly seeking self-satisfaction, and maybe in the future, Lin Fan will be indifferent to these clouds, but Lin Fan believes that it is because even if he doesn't care about this, others will no longer despise him.
Everyone is a fish, Lin Fan is also a fish, and now he wants to eat Wang Xiaochuan's fish, Wang Xiaochuan's ability does not need to be denied, leading Sogou into a billion-dollar company, and is praised by the media as one of the new generation of Internet tycoons.
In fact, as long as Wang Xiaochuan agreed to Lin Fa's gambling contract, no matter whether Lin Fan won or lost, he won, because this means that Wang Xiaochuan is not a piece of iron in his heart, and a mortal who is more promising than Sohu beckons to him, and he is moved. Wang Xiaochuan has always believed that only on a big platform can he make a career, so many Sohu executives left to start a business, but he has never left, but mortals' plates are much bigger than Sohu.
Lin Fan doesn't have much ambition, in fact, he has very little time to be casual now, maybe only in front of Chu Chu will he look like a child, but he is also a bad boy. However, the next thing to do was to lift Lin Fan's spirits.
In the big city of Yanjing, it is prosperous enough and dirty enough. The existence of the clubhouse blocks a lot of sunlight and provides a private enough place for many people.
Lin Fan leaned on the sofa but thought about whether he should also build a club, not only to find a place for himself to talk, but also to pull up a group of like-minded people, it is best to make it as well-known as the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong, and the dignitaries love to have morning tea here, but this idea just rose and fell, and now he is not qualified enough.
When Lin Fan was pondering, the door opened softly, and the visitors first looked around the environment in the room, the sofa, the coffee table, and the dining table not far away. At this time, the people who came here set their eyes on Lin Fan, who was very young, and this was the first time the two had met.
"Mr. Lin?"
"Mr. Ren. ”
Ren Feng is forty-five years old this year, graduated from Fudan and studied in the United States, and now serves as a partner of Walden International in Huaxia.
"I heard that Ren is always from the magic capital, this club just happens to make better dishes, and Ren may as well have a good taste later. ”
The wine table has always been a good place to close the distance, a piece of sauce duck entrance, and then a sip of wine, everything is available, Ren Feng is very satisfied, "Mr. Lin is really a clever person, I have been in Yanjing for so long, but I have never found such an authentic local restaurant." ”
"The key is to be attentive, as long as you put your heart into it, there is nothing that cannot be done. Lin Fan poured himself a glass of wine with a wine dispenser, poured himself a drink, to be honest, Lin Fan didn't like this way of drinking very much, but whoever let the other party be a Modu person, the Modu people have to drink beer according to two counts, which is like the northern beer on the basket, the liquor on the catty.
Lin Fan's words obviously implied something, Ren Feng wiped his mouth with a cloth, and his face was full of agreement, "I'm afraid of anything with a heart or not, as long as I work hard, I believe it will be successful." ”
Walden International is a strange investment bank, headquartered in San Francisco, USA, which is not only engaged in the investment field but also provides funds for leveraged buyouts, which means that Walden International even supports hostile takeovers in order to make money, and Lin Fan is here for Walden International's second business.
"We're going to be successful for sure, I never lie to my partner, it's a good business to make money. ”
Ren Feng was noncommittal, "But Dangdang, as the largest B2C platform in China, I don't think that the acquisition will be far more beneficial now than waiting for listing." ”
Lin Fan didn't refute immediately, he knew that Ren Feng was bargaining. But when this news spreads outside, it will definitely cause an uproar, what is the status of Dangdang.com? Maybe there will be some decline in the future, but now Dangdang.com is just so successful in selling books! In the third round of financing last year, it was valued at 220 million US dollars! This is the largest B2C e-commerce platform in China, and Lin Fan actually wants to buy it!
He wants to transform, wants to become a shopping mall for comprehensive sales, and now he has tossed out department stores, clothing and other fields, but now what does the first thing users think of when they think of Dangdang? This means that the transformation of Dangdang has been very unsuccessful. ”
"But now the potential of Dangdang still exists, and I am very optimistic about the prospect of its listing. ”
Lin Fan knows that this is the opinion of many people, but only Lin Fan knows that the transformation of Dangdang will fail in the future, and the inherent book sales field will still be carved up by e-commerce companies such as Jingdong, and Dangdang has declined from mainstream e-commerce, so Lin Fan can only change another reason, "I think Mr. Ren also has a psychological estimate of Dangdang's listing, is it five years or six years? Who can guarantee what will happen in these years? What is held in his hand is real, I think Mr. Ren will not fail to understand this truth." ”
Ren Feng smiled, "Mr. Lin is a suitable lobbyist, in fact, Mr. Lin, you also understand that when I sit here, it shows that I am very interested in your proposal, but the number of eight percent is still too low, and the headquarters will not agree." ”
"Since I called Mr. Ren to discuss, I am sincere enough, if Mr. Ren's acquisition of shares in the hands of other shareholders does not exceed 20% of the third round of financing, the premium for my acquisition of Mr. Ren's shares will be increased to 10%. If Mr. Ren's acquisition of shares in the hands of other shareholders does not exceed 10% of the third round of financing, I am willing to pay a premium of 15% on this basis. ”
Ren Feng was stunned for a moment, Lin Fan's sincerity was very sufficient, he subconsciously wanted to increase the price again, but seeing Lin Fan's serious look, he retracted what he wanted to say, the person in front of him was not an entrepreneur at his disposal, this was a billionaire with a net worth of more than a billion dollars.
"I wish us a happy cooperation. ”
Lin Fan's face was instantly full of smiles, "Mr. Ren is bold, I'll do it first as respect." ”
"Mr. Lin has a good amount of alcohol!"
Lin Fan is really happy, he is one step closer to Dangdang.com, after wanting to start an e-commerce, he denied his idea of starting from scratch, you don't have to be a fool if you have money. What's more, Dangdang now supports same-day door-to-door delivery in hundreds of cities across the country, and also has its own logistics centers in Yanjing and other places.
This is simply a copy of Jingdong, operating by itself, self-operated logistics, running a Liu Qiangdong, but it is better to start with it!
