Chapter 132: The Terrible Man
At this time, although the Beijing-Shanghai Sky Express has not yet opened, it is the two largest international metropolises in China. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere are more than 20 flights a day between the imperial capital and the magic capital.
Lin Feng is also a VIP customer of the airline.
I received a call from Yao Xiaoguang at ten o'clock in the morning, and before two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Feng's plane had landed at Hongqiao Airport.
Lin Feng's face was calm, and he walked out of the passage accompanied by Li Zhao.
The Demon Capital, this is a city that hides the demons of his previous life.......
"I came, your city, and walked the way you came", the determination to fly here resolutely in his previous life was crossed in his heart, which was a rare impulse and recklessness in his life, but in the end it was just a chicken feather. If the failure of entrepreneurship in his previous life was a heavy blow to his career, his determination to go to the magic capital was the biggest setback in his life.
Therefore, in the more than two years since he was reborn, Lin Feng has never set foot in this city.
From the moment he landed, his mind was already complicated.
Yao Xiaoguang, Wang Lei, general manager of Menglong Shanghai Branch, and Tian Zhengning, general manager of Fengxing Shanghai Branch, have been waiting for the exit.
Seeing that Lin Feng's face was not good, the three of them glanced at each other, and they all felt a little apprehensive.
Lin Feng has always been very kind to his subordinates, and rarely puts on such a face.
Surrounded by everyone, I walked out of the airport and sat in the Mercedes-Benz S600 that greeted me.
Wang Lei followed him for a long time, and asked boldly: "Boss, do you want to go to the hotel to rest first, and then go to the company to have a look?"
Lin Feng waved his hand: "No, go directly to Haofang Company." ”
He wanted to take advantage of the fact that there were not too many distracting thoughts in his heart at this moment, and just relied on the violence caused by the depression in his heart, and completely overwhelmed the opponent in one fell swoop and dealt with Hao Fang. ”
Turning his head and asking Yao Xiaoguang: "Old Yao, how did you talk about it with Haofang's people, tell me in detail." ”
Yao Xiaoguang nodded and reported: "Okay, boss, Steven and I came to Shanghai a few years ago, visited Haofang Company, and communicated with the founder Li Lijun. To our surprise, Li Lijun did not react much to our idea of acquisition, but did not consider this aspect for the time being. This is different from our previous research, found that because Haofang has been free operation, limited income, operating costs are relatively high, there should be a strong demand for funds at present. ”
"Steven was summoned to Hong Kong in the past two days, I made an appointment with some friends in the Shanghai circle, only to get the news, in October last year, Hao Fang has been with Shanda many times on investment, acquisition of matters communicated. Especially recently, Shanda began to prepare for the listing, Haofang is still very much looking forward to this, hoping that Shanda listing can bring a lot of money, Haofang sold at a good price. ”
Lin Feng nodded, Yao Xiaoguang's work is still very detailed, and the analysis is indeed the truth.
"Do you know who is responsible for the acquisition negotiation with Haofang on the grand side?"
"The main person in charge is Zhang Yingfeng, the vice president of Shanda, mainly responsible for legal affairs and intellectual property negotiations, he has always been the main to talk with Haofang, I heard that Chen Tianqiao has also come out to talk twice, Li Lijun They are very recognized by Chen Tianqiao. ”
Lin Feng nodded silently, Yao Xiaoguang still worked information collection.
He stopped asking, closed his eyes, and reminisced in his mind about the media reports on the acquisition in his previous life.
In 2004, Shanda was an incomparably glorious year, from the listing, to a series of acquisitions, winger, Haofang, digital red, starting point, to the last uproar of the raid Sina, and almost succeeded, but also a feast for the media, countless reports from multiple angles have analyzed the acquisition process and background of Chen Tianqiao.
Compared with several other acquisitions, the waves are magnificent, because Haofang was acquired after the gradual decline, and there are not too many details leaked.
But Lin Feng still distilled a few key points.
Shanda acquisition Hao Fang is not overnight, but in three steps: in July 2004 Shanda announced its participation in Hao Fang, in the second quarter of 2005 Shanda announced the acquisition of 82.1% of Hao Fang's shares, on February 28, 2006 Shanda and Hao Fang completed the delivery of the remaining part, March 1 to deliver the remaining cash, complete acquisition of Hao Fang, all acquisition costs of about 56 million US dollars.
Also, at this time, Shanda did not have too much spare funds in his hands, so he could only use the listing to draw cakes first, and delay until after the listing before he really had the capital to win Haofang.
This is the chance to be popular!
A group of people came directly to Haofang Online Information Technology Co., Ltd.
Li Lijun, the founder of Haofang Online, Xu Xin, the core team member (Hao Fang No. 01, later from the CEO), Cao Fangfei (responsible for the client, nicknamed Tiger), Yang Chen (head of market outreach, CGA website core), Guo Zhuo (technical leader, nicknamed Xingxing) and others all attended the meeting with Lin Feng.
At this time, Lin Feng was a man of the year in the domestic Internet industry, one of the real bigwigs.
Menglong's listing on the NASDAQ was one of the hottest events in the Internet industry at the end of 2003.
Although Menglong is not an Internet company, it has spread Lin Feng's fame all over the world, bringing Lin Feng a net worth of more than 7 billion, making him surpass Chen Tianqiao, who became famous earlier, and become the top richest man in the IT industry on a par with Ding Sanshi.
And Lin Feng's Fengxing is an emerging predator in the game circle.
"Dancing Diagram" created a new large-scale dance game, "Fantasy Journey to the West" and NetEase's "Journey to the West" and "Journey" netted Lin Tsunami, which was highly anticipated.
After the revision of the game network, the home page has begun to provide game information like 17173, and the major game companies have taken a fancy to its users, traffic and the synergistic effect of hao123, and have strengthened their cooperation with the game network, and there is a vague trend of more than 17173 becoming the first game portal.
Coupled with the domineering acquisition of Hao123 and foxmail last year.
To say that Lin Feng's current status in the circle is above Chen Tianqiao, no one should object.
Such a character, who came to the door in person, had to pay attention.
On the other hand, it also makes Hao Fang people quite touched, from the point of view of the importance of the acquisition of Hao Fang, Lin Feng can be more sincere than Chen Tianqiao.
Simply took Lin Feng and others to visit the company, and everyone came to the conference room to sit down.
Lin Feng adjusted his mentality, smiled, and looked at Li Lijun and the others, this group of people are all talents!
He opened his mouth and said: "Come to the presumptuous, thank you Mr. Li and everyone, I like to get straight to the point, let me say my thoughts first, for your reference." ”
"First of all, Fengxing company is very sincere in the acquisition of Haofang company. ”
"Secondly, I know that Shanda also has the intention of acquiring Haofang, and may have a more mature plan with you. It doesn't matter, there is one more choice, and you can choose the right partner more freely, which is not a bad thing. ”
"Third, let me talk about my plan. ”
As soon as Lin Feng came up, it was one, two, three o'clock, which made the indoor air solemn.
For Hao Fang, it was originally a concubine with Shanda, and it was close to the best time.
Suddenly came out of the wind and became "a girl and two men chasing", although it is a bit of a sideways feeling, but Lin Feng's words are not bad, there is more room for selection, and you can even take advantage of the addition of Fengxing to force Shanda to increase the price, which is beneficial to Haofang.
Since it was Lin Feng who came forward in person, of course they were willing to listen to what this legendary figure in the circle had to say.
"I guess, Shanda should be short of funds now, I guess I have negotiated a phased acquisition plan with you, right?
"Fengxing can invest money all at once. I think this point for the current Haofang platform is developing rapidly stage, the demand for funds will be relatively large, I hope to be able to provide a power for Haofang to take off. ”
Lin Feng said casually: "In addition, don't hide it from everyone, for the Haofang platform, I think that you are the most valuable wealth of Haofang." I don't know how I talked to you after the grand acquisition, but it's nothing more than a VAM agreement and a non-compete clause. But...... It should be your wish to raise the children you created with your own hands. ”
Lin Feng said solemnly: "There will be a requirement in the terms of the acquisition of Fengxing: if the acquisition is successful, there will be no income requirements and VAM agreements for Haofang, but I hope that the founding team can continue to stay! Fengxing only guides in strategy, and the specific operation of the company is still responsible for you, and will set aside a certain amount of management shares for you. ”
Lin Feng looked at Haofang and everyone showed a look of great surprise, and smiled: "In other words, we acquire Haofang, the core is actually the acquisition of everyone." You don't have to worry about the re-assignment of the management team to take over the company, and you will only make some adjustments in financial and business integration. I appreciate your ability very much, and sincerely hope that you can continue to stay in Haofang, and work together to make Haofang the largest e-sports platform in China and even in the world!"
Without waiting for the Hao Fang people to react, Lin Feng continued to throw out the last chip that shocked them: "Don't hide it from you, after the acquisition of Hao Fang, Feng Xing will develop voice software based on the battle, as well as based on the Hao Fang platform, research and development completely belong to Hao Fang's own game, I believe this is the long-term foundation for Hao Fang to really go, in addition, Feng Xing also plans to act as an agent of Blizzard's "World of Warcraft" online game in the future, I believe that when the time comes, it will be able to do some synergy with Hao Fang platform in some aspects, such as arena ranking. From the business level, the blessing of Haofang. ”
Lin Feng spread his hands and said with a smile: "You see, I'm not here to negotiate, I'm just here to express myself and Fengxing's sincerity, and open all my thoughts to everyone." Haofang is a very good e-sports platform, you are also very good talents, I very much hope to have the opportunity to work with you to realize the dream of a game boom. ”
As soon as he sat down, he didn't have any politeness, and just threw dry goods.
Capital investment, team retention, business integration three aspects, each of which is smashed in the hearts of Haofang people are most concerned about the place.
Shanda can only pay slowly in three years, all the founding team will leave, there is no clear plan for the next development of Haofang's business...... These are the aspects of Shanda's acquisition plan that make them a little dissatisfied and worried. Originally, I wanted to take the money and leave, and it was only right. But now Lin Feng said, I hope everyone stays, take the money, Haofang or you will get it!
As for other aspects that they value in grand terms, such as point card sales, recharge channels, etc.
Fengxing also has it, and the strong push team of Fengxing has been well-known in the industry for a long time!
This Nima ...... , Lin Feng's words are like three bullets, and the bullets hit the heart!
Instantly shattered the hearts of all Haofang.
They looked at the young man in front of them smiling harmlessly.
I sighed in my heart.
It's worthy of Lin Feng...... , what a scary man!
