Chapter 202: Success

Guessing dumb riddles is not a pleasant thing, especially for smart people, who have long been accustomed to being on top, and naturally feel unhappy when they encounter it.

This is the case with Lee Seung-chien, as a partner of venture capital IDG, he is always treated as a guest of honor at any start-up company he goes to, although he needs to keep a clear head as a vc, it does not affect the sense of superiority brought by enjoying status.

But Li Chengqian's mood is not too high recently, just because Lin Fan gave him a dumb riddle a few days ago, and he couldn't figure out Lin Fan's routine, looking for his own investment. Lin Fan has money on hand is a thing that everyone in the circle knows. Then it can only be put on the e-commerce that Lin Fan only mentioned.

These days, Li Chengqian has checked the information about e-commerce, to be honest, he is usually no stranger to e-commerce, after all, this is also a new technology field, but these days he feels that he is about to become an e-commerce expert. In fact, Li Chengqian is also very simple, Lin Fan is different from the past, and every word he says will be taken seriously.

These days, Li Chengqian has been focusing on the environment of e-commerce, the body of domestic e-commerce companies, but he forgot that he has an e-commerce share in his hand, to be precise, IDG, and the shares he holds are now the shares of the domestic B2C giant Dangdang.com.

Contacting Lin Fan's indistinct appearance when he said this, Li Chengqian was sure that Lin Fan was definitely interested in Dangdang.com. A person with a large amount of money is interested in Dangdang.com, and you don't need to think about it to know that Lin Fan wants to acquire Dangdang.com.

Li Chengqian even understood why Lin Fan came to him, when Dangdang.com carried out the second round of financing, but all the IDG, SoftBank and other venture capitalists in the first round of financing were all pitted. When Li Guoqing, CEO of Dang.com, insisted on introducing the Tiger Fund, the company led by IDG naturally disagreed, but Li Guoqing actually threatened to resign and re-innovate the company, IDG and other institutions could only retreat, and had no choice but to hand over the shares in their hands and choose to cash out, accepting the end of the dilution of the shares, this farce was quite famous at the end of 2003.

If it is said that there is no right or wrong in capital, it is also true, but people will be angry, and Li Guoqing's hand has made IDG and other institutions lose face. Li Chengqian figured out the cause and effect, and he dialed Lin Fan's phone.

Kung Fu tea, which is the favorite of Chaoshan people, but with the satisfaction of material life, people began to pursue enjoyment and spiritual needs, and gradually spread throughout the country.

Lin Fan was setting up kung fu tea, and he was getting the last step of Han Xin's order, and he was welcoming Li Guoqing's arrival. Li Guoqing's initiative made Lin Fanbu's bureau finally improve, Dangdang has operated a total of three rounds of financing, IDG will help Lin Fan settle the previous part of the venture capital, let him exit, Walden International will also help Lin Fan to settle some of the venture capital and even some of the executives of Dangdang.

Li Guoqing and Yu Yu are quite stingy about equity, far worse than Ma Yun and Li Robin, none of the other executives have more than one percent of the shares, but the total number of shares held by the executives is also nine percent, which may surprise Lin Fan.

"Mr. Li, you came just right, the tea has just been brewed. ”

It was Li Chengqian who pushed the door in, "It's not that I came by chance, but that Mr. Lin grasped the right timing." ”

Lin Fan was noncommittal, "I prefer to use the word fate." ”

"It's vulgar, Mr. Lin's tea is as elegant as people. ”

Lin Fan laughed, "I won't play dumb riddles with Mr. Li anymore, so as not to complain that I am selling off." I have two options, the first is to be led by Mr. Li, and I will sit down with many venture capitalists who are willing to cooperate. Second, IDG will buy the shares that others are willing to sell, as long as it does not exceed 20% of the latest valuation of Dangdang, I will buy it at a premium of 10%, and if it does not exceed 10% of the latest valuation, I will pay a premium of 15%. ”

This is to put everything on the table, but Li Chengqian likes this kind of straightforwardness, the things that the two of them are planning are originally kept secret, if the two are not honest, the deal will simply be broken up.

"I have a strategy in my mind, so I shouldn't be satisfied with just eating a little bit of shares, right?"

Lin Fan didn't hide it, "Walden International is also helping me acquire shares, the two of you have the same conditions, if you can, you two can also sit down and talk." "It is also beneficial for Lin Fan to explain in advance, otherwise the two will find a venture capital at the same time, wouldn't this be infighting?

However, Li Chengqian's face changed greatly, and he instantly figured out the trick, IDG and Walden International were the leaders in the two rounds of financing, and the two came forward, I am afraid that the situation will be easily opened, "Even if you can win all the equity of venture capital, I am afraid that there is a problem, when the management control reaches 52%." ”

This has to be said to be the credit of Yu Yu, who has worked on Wall Street for more than ten years, but Yu Yu has quite a lot of experience in controlling the company.

"It also depends on whether Mr. Li can tear a hole in the management, in fact, even if he can't achieve absolute control, it doesn't matter. ”

"Oh?" Li Chengqian was very puzzled by Lin Fan's inconsistent words.

Lin Fan has been making tea for so long, and for the first time he picked up the teacup, "As long as the chessboard is destroyed, it will be good to start again." ”

If Li Chengqian was struck by lightning, he didn't believe that Lin Fan would spend hundreds of millions of dollars to mess around, but looking at Lin Fan's expression, he was a little convinced that as long as Lin Fan entered the board of directors, interfering in the main affairs would make a mess of the proper business, and it would not be a good means to break it and stand up.

In fact, Lin Fan is a little eager why Dangdang.com is not listed now, once listed, Lin Fan can initiate a mandatory acquisition as long as he holds 30% of the shares, of course, this is to think about it, if Dangdang is listed, Lin Fan's more than 400 million US dollars in his hands is not enough at all, but no matter what, this bureau has become, and everything is waiting for changes.

The time has unconsciously arrived in February, if it weren't for Chu Chu's reminder, Lin Fan wouldn't have known that he had been on vacation for a month and a half, and his days to go to school this time were even shorter, I don't know if Fan Gang and Zhang Weiying said hello, Peking University was extremely tolerant of Lin Fan who skipped class. Historically, Harvard has had two very good dropouts, one is Bill Gates, who founded the world-famous computer empire Microsoft. One is Zuckerberg, who created the social kingdom Facebook.

But Lin Fan doesn't want to become the most famous dropout in the history of Peking University, because Huaxia is not a very good reputation, no matter what, he will finish these four years.

The students' holiday marks the arrival of the winter vacation, and also marks the arrival of the Spring Festival. Lin Fan has already begun to help buy New Year's goods for the family, and the friction between him and his mother that is not a friction has disappeared when both of them deliberately retreated, and how can parents and children have an overnight feud.

And Lin Fan also made a decision, to bring Chu Chu home to meet his parents during this spring break, urging me to find a girlfriend all day long, just kidding, your son seems to be someone who can't find a girlfriend?
