Chapter 738
Qin Feng's TED Talks, with revisions and translations, take at least 24 hours. Qin Fengfusheng stole half a day's leisure, and the next morning, he was taken out by Guan Chaohui, saying that he wanted to go to the nearby Chinatown to see the excitement. Andrew, a white guy who picked up Qin Feng at the gate the day before yesterday, made a cameo appearance as a driver and bodyguard this time, and he actually brought a gun with him, which quite refreshed Qin Feng's outlook on life.
The low-key business Mercedes-Benz slowly drove out of the country road in Toronto, Qin Feng came for two days, and only then did he see clearly that a large area of land outside the manor was all farms.
"The land here is relatively cheap, and when your uncle and I are older, we can move here to retire. Guan Zhaohui had a faint smile on his face, and seemed to be quite yearning for the idyllic life after retirement, "The air here is much better than in China, such a large place, you can pass the time with anything, the real estate tax and property tax are low, and it is not far from the city, so it is very convenient to live." ”
Qin Feng couldn't pick up this topic, so he smiled and said casually: "It's just that it's a little colder in winter." ”
"Yes...... Guan Zhaohui sighed lightly, "We originally wanted to buy a suite by the sea in Florida and live there in the winter, but unfortunately the Americans didn't want us to go." ”
Qin Feng was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "I don't even let you buy the house, so how did you buy Facebook?"
"Who told you we bought it?" Guan Chaohui asked with a smile.
Qin Feng was puzzled: "Didn't you buy it?"
"Just swapped a little bit of equity with each other. Guan Zhaohui said, "Facebook, a company, was targeted by some investment companies last year, and now the company's internal shareholding structure is more complicated. When we went to talk at the end of last year, it was actually half a step slower, and Facebook had already received two rounds of angel investment. However, fortunately, the development speed of Weibo in China is relatively fast, we spent two months, found 4 third-party evaluation agencies and actuarial institutions on Wall Street to make a market value assessment of Weibo, and finally came to the conclusion that the global potential users of Weibo may reach 500 million, FACEBOOK may have 1.5 billion global potential users, and the total potential market value, facebook is about 6 to 8 times that of Weibo. So we proposed to take 80% of Weibo's shares, plus $200 million in cash, in exchange for 50% of Facebook's shares. In this way, on the one hand, it can speed up Facebook's listing, and on the other hand, after Weibo and Facebook complete the equity exchange, it will be easier to obtain financing from the United States in the next step, which is relatively fair for both parties. ”
Qin Feng nodded and asked, "Is the negotiation done now?"
"Basically, it's almost there. Guan Chaohui said, "We made a gambling agreement with the little boss of Facebook, the kid who is about the same age as you, as long as the number of Weibo users can exceed 30 million before the Chinese New Year this year, Facebook will agree to start this equity exchange plan." A few days ago, as soon as the Weibo entertainment festival was held, the number of registered users of Weibo exceeded 31 million that night. Within 4 months of online operation, the number of users exceeded 30 million, and this development speed made those Americans look stupid. Now there is only one question left, that is, how the two sides should buy back their respective shares in the future. Your Uncle Hou has already flown to Silicon Valley today, and it is estimated that he will be able to talk about it before the evening. ”
Qin Feng thought for a while, and then asked, "Auntie, you and your uncle don't seem to have 80% of so many shares in their hands, right?"
"It's a small thing, just buy it back from the shareholders of Outou. Guan Zhaohui said with a smile, "Weibo.com is now valued at $20 million, based on $200,000 per 1% of the shares, your uncle and I now have 40% in our hands, and the remaining 40% can be bought back for $8 million." ”
Qin Feng asked weakly, "Can I not sell it?"
Guan Chaohui turned his head and glanced at Qin Feng and said, "What do you want to do?"
Qin Feng said: "Sit and wait for appreciation." ”
Guan Zhaohui sighed softly, shook his head and said: "It's better to sell it, as soon as Weibo is listed, we will withdraw our capital immediately, and the stock price will fall very much." ”
"Divestment?" Qin Feng raised his voice suddenly.
Hou Kaijuan said disdainfully: "What are you doing? What's all the fuss, I really haven't seen the world!"
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, what kind of adult are you pretending to be?" Guan Chaohui reached out and pinched Hou Kaijuan's cheek, twisted it gently, his eyes were full of doting, and then turned his head and asked Qin Fengdao, "Do you think there is anything wrong?"
Qin Feng said with a little excitement: "The development potential of Weibo is still very sufficient, if you hold it for a long time, when it goes public in the future, I predict that the market value can reach at least several billion dollars." ”
Guan Chaohui's eyes flashed, and he asked rhetorically: "Then how long do you think this will take?"
Qin Feng replied uncertainly: "Ten years or so, ten years at most......"
"Ten years, the cycle is too long, we have never done such a long cycle of business, and there are too many variables, and there are uncontrollable risks at every moment. Guan Chaohui said softly, "The money of me and your Uncle Hou is piled up with our lives, and we can't afford to lose it, so let's take it when we see it." If you don't want to sell your Weibo shares, then keep it, we don't lack this anyway. However, when a new round of capital injection comes in, the little shares in your hand should be diluted to less than 0.1%, and it will not play a role in your hands......"
"Let's look at the situation again......" Qin Feng was a little melancholy, "So you don't plan to buy back the shares of Weibo next?"
"Hmm. Guan Chaohui said, "There are too many places to use money next, last year 2, the group's stalls were too big, and if it continues like this, the funds are very dangerous." Now the Dongou Municipal Government is forcing us to take the lead in carrying out local financial reforms, and if we are not careful, our blood and sweat in the past few decades will be wasted. ”
"It's not easy...... Qin Feng sighed.
Guan Zhaohui said: "There are no easy things in this world, everyone who makes a lot of money, which one is not stepping on the blade to live." ”
Qin Feng was quiet for a moment and asked, "When Weibo is closed, what will Outou do next?"
Guan Zhaohui replied slowly: "Your uncle and I have been thinking about this question for a long time, and we have also found many university scholars like Jiang Wen to be staff officers. We have discussed it many times, and each time we feel that it is still your vision that is the most right. The development of informatization has become a global trend, and the industries that will be needed in the future must be linked to intelligence and digitalization. However, some professors feel that there is still a potential danger of unstable foundation in the pure platform-based and channel-based service industry, so your uncle hopes to do some projects that combine traditional manufacturing and intelligent industries. Last month, we met a guy in Silicon Valley who suggested we put our money into their company to make smartphones. As soon as I heard him speak, I immediately remembered you. ”
Qin Feng couldn't help but say: "The direction of smartphones must be right, maybe it will become popular in two or three years." ”
"Do you think so too?" Guan Chaohui looked at Qin Fengdao with a smile, "That person also told us the same, he said that now the technical conditions for making smart phones are mature, and what is missing is just a product concept and lifestyle, as long as the design direction is correct, smart phones may become popular all over the world in a very short time, and even squeeze out all traditional mobile phones from the market." ”
Why is the blowing so loudly?
Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, and asked weakly, "Auntie, what is that person's name?"
Guan Chaohui said: "His name is Steve." ”
Qin Feng nodded, and said in his heart that it was not Jobs.
Guan Zhaohui then said: "The name of that company is also very interesting, the English name is Apple. ”
"What?" Qin Feng's eyes were round, and his face was full of horror.
Guan Zhaohui couldn't help laughing and said, "What are you doing?
"No ......" Qin Feng quickly put away his expression and said with a haha, "I just think Americans are really uneducated ......"
Guan Chaohui laughed.
Qin Feng held back for more than ten seconds, and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, can I ...... Do you want to get into a share?"
"What shares?" asked Guan Chaohui.
Qin Feng was beating a drum in his heart: "It's that Apple mobile phone ......"
Guan Zhaohui laughed and said, "Do you still have money to buy shares?"
Qin Feng cheekily said, "Advance my salary in the future......"
"Again?" Guan Chaohui said, "Didn't you still want to advance your salary to make a movie yesterday?"
"Do you want to make a movie?" Hou Kaijuan shouted, "Say! Do you want to sleep with a female star!"
Guan Zhaohui directly slapped Hou Kaijuan back with a palm.
Qin Feng was quite embarrassed and said, "Yesterday was a hot brain......
"I think you're thinking too much. Guan Chaohui poked lightly at Qin Feng's head, as if he was treating him as a nephew, "I want to do this, I want to do that, fortunately you don't have any money in your hand, if you have money, I'm afraid that your funds will be cut off one day, and the gods won't be able to save you." Zhou Jue is now helping you set up such a big stall in Dongou City, don't you think it's enough?"
Qin Feng was a little speechless.
Guan Zhaohui suddenly smiled and said, "It's not impossible to let you participate in a share, but you have to promise me one thing." ”
Qin Feng asked, "What's the matter?"
The corners of Guan Zhaohui's mouth curled, "Before you are 40 years old, you are not allowed to change jobs." ”
Qin Feng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Auntie, why do you have to worry about this?"
"Can I not be entangled?" Guan Zhaohui said, "Look at our group, the current market layout is based on your paper, the development direction of the group, you know better than us who are the bosses!"
Qin Feng knew that he was pounding, and said busily: "Auntie, with my little vision, at most, I can only see ten years later, and no matter how far away, it will not be useful." I want to retire at 30 right now and eat, drink and be merry until I die. So my life plan is to earn all the money I can make in this life before the age of 30, and the next thing is to ...... It is to take Ami to travel around the world, and then go all the way, live all the way, play for 10 years, and then return to China for retirement. ”
Hou Kaijuan blurted out: "Damn, I want to live like this!"
Guan Chaohui rewarded his son with a violent shudder, and bargained with Qin Feng: "Twenty years is too long, how about fifteen years?"
Qin Feng said: "Ten years at most." ”
I didn't want Guan Zhaohui to agree: "It's okay, then ten years, and when we go back, we will sign a contract in black and white." ”
Qin Feng looked at Guan Chaohui with painful eyes, feeling as if he had fallen into a pit.
Guan Zhaohui continued: "We will do the smart phone project sooner or later, and then we plan to integrate the industrial chain of the project." In terms of hardware technology, Nokia has agreed to support it, and in terms of software technology, as soon as Weibo and Facebook go public, we will inject funds into Apple after we complete the cash-out. And within this year, Ouyi's optical materials research center will be completed, the screen and camera technology of the mobile phone that you have been talking about before will slowly be able to achieve independence, and the Jialan Technology in Shenzhen, we intend to acquire another 5% of the shares and become the second largest shareholder of Jialan Technology, the company's sales channels in China, as well as the import of raw materials and technical research of special glass, can also complement us......"
Guan Chaohui said in a calm tone, as if he was saying how much pork in the vegetable market cost a pound yesterday.
Qin Feng became more and more frightened the more he listened, and for the first time, he felt that this world was really terrifyingly small.
Apple and Nokia will not mention, just talk about the birth of the richest woman in Chinese mainland in the future, this company will be listed in the future, the stock price will also soar! Speaking of which, Qin Feng has always been easy to forget, he himself now holds 1% of the shares of Jialan Technology, which is the first bonus given to him by Hou Juyi.
"I can get you 1% of Apple's shares. Guan Zhaohui said suddenly.
Qin Feng was very contented and immediately replied: "It's enough!"
Guan Zhaohui said: "Wait a few days, when we complete the equity exchange agreement with Facebook, Outou will announce the removal of you as CEO of Weibo.com, and then Weibo.com will also be split from Qinchao Technology and become a direct subsidiary of Outou." What about you...... I'll give you the title of senior advisor and independent director of Weibo.com. ”
"Okay. "Qin Feng is very simple, he has earned so many shares with his mouth, and he has almost no regrets in this life. It's just that when he said this, he suddenly remembered the matter of Kuliu.com, and quickly took this opportunity to talk to Guan Chaohui about Zheng Yuehu's investment intentions.
After listening to this, Guan Chaohui thought for a while, and asked Qin Fengdao: "What do you think?"
Qin Feng said honestly: "From the perspective of the media industry, as long as Kuliu.com does not go down the wrong path in the future, it will definitely be able to achieve the top of the industry, but this profit cycle is estimated to be more than ten years, and it is absolutely impossible to work slowly and carefully, and it is absolutely impossible to cash out in a short period of time." And the money made from making video websites, compared with Outou's current major projects, such as real estate, social software and the next mobile phone manufacturing industry, the profits are certainly not so exaggerated, but overall, it is still profitable. ”
"That's it. Guan Zhaohui directly slapped the board and said, "When the Weibo network is split from Qinchao Technology, Outou will no longer interfere in the operation of Qinchao Technology, and I will let you be independent." But I want to personally control 15% of the shares of Kuliu.com, which can be regarded as a return for my early investment. ”
As soon as Qin Feng heard that Guan Chaohui opened his mouth to ask for 15% so much, he originally wanted to lower the price again, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it back, and said in his heart that he still had to repay his kindness, and said in a deep voice: "Auntie, when Mr. Zheng's funds come in, Kuliu.com is not my final say, I don't think I can be the master of this 15% share." Otherwise, before he injects capital, we will sit down again and simply do a three-way negotiation, and no matter how we talk at that time, I will definitely be on your side. ”
