Chapter 165: MP3 and the Future of Mobile Phones
Lin Feng's mobile phone rang, and he took it out and looked at Xiong Xiaoge's phone.
"Mr. Xiong, I just broke up, do you regret it now?" Lin Feng quipped. The contract has been signed, and Lin Feng is not afraid that Xiong Xiaoge will regret it now.
"Hehe, Lin Dong said with a smile, but when I saw the fax from Baidu about the increase in shares, I really had a little regret. Xiong Xiaoge sighed, with a very regretful expression, but turned to praise and said, "Lin Dong, the means are good, I just won 12.5% of Baidu's shares, and I turned around and won 4% of the shares in the hands of our IDG, it seems that Lin Dong's ambition is not small!"
Lin Feng chuckled lightly and didn't answer.
"Lin Dong, I think we can still make a deal. Xiong Xiaoge's words aroused Lin Feng's curiosity, but he didn't know how he and IDG could trade now.
"Lin Dong, I can help you press today's share transfer news for 15 days, and when you will remit the money to our company's account and complete this transaction, I will notify Baidu Li Dong. Xiong Xiaoge's words revealed a temptation that Lin Feng couldn't refuse.
Lin Feng was stunned.
"I don't know why Mr. Xiong helped me so much?" Lin Feng asked curiously. If Xiong Xiaoge weighs on the matter for 15 days, it will be much easier for him to acquire the 28.33% stake in Baidu held by DFJ Venture Capital Fund. Of course, now DFJ only has 24.78% of Baidu shares left.
"I'm curious about what Lin Dong's intentions are, so as long as Lin Dongken tells me your true intentions, I'll be happy to help you with this. Xiong Xiaoge didn't tell the truth. This time he was beaten by Lin Feng for a time difference, and "stole" 4% of the shares in his hand, although IDG did not suffer, but he always felt a little unhappy, but Xiong Xiaoge himself did not regret it, do their job, once they decide, don't regret it. Even if it's wrong, stay the course.
However, Lin Feng first raised 12.5% of Baidu's shares, and then acquired 4% of Baidu's shares in his own hands, obviously his ambitions are not small, and the Baidu shares in DFJ's hands must also be in Lin Fengjihua. DFJ and IDG are both well-known venture capital funds, and although there is no direct conflict, there is always competition. Xiong Xiaoge's move, although he is helping Lin Feng, actually wants to take the opportunity to suppress DFJ and prevent DFJ from taking too much of the sweetness in Lin Feng's acquisition of jihua. Otherwise, DFJ takes a big advantage, and it will appear that he is a little incompetent.
After Lin Feng pondered for a while, he weighed the pros and cons, and felt that these 15 days were very critical to him, and this deal was good.
"Mr. Xiong, I made it clear, I want to control Baidu, not make money from it, Baidu is very important to my company's future, so thank you very much Mr. Xiong for your help. Lin Feng briefly stated his intentions.
Although Lin Feng's answer was not very satisfactory to Xiong Xiaoge, through Lin Feng's series of actions, Xiong Xiaoge could already guess Lin Feng's general intentions. Baidu's future is indeed optimistic about the future of many venture capital funds, but Lin Feng is so sure and spends such a large price on the acquisition, this courage and vision is indeed surprising. But no matter what, Xiong Xiaoge remembered the name Lin Feng, and Baidu's future trend has also become the target of his future focus.
Lin Feng looked at his watch, it was close to 5 o'clock, thought about it, and was about to call the president of DFJ (DFJ Venture Capital Fund) Beijing Branch, but at this time the Hong Kong side called.
"Lin Dong, the general details have been discussed, but there are still some details that you need to deal with personally. The caller was the team that Lin Feng had sent to Hong Kong to negotiate a financing contract with Li Zekai, and Lin Feng's only request before departure was to get as much cash as possible.
After Lin Feng inquired in detail, he stepped on a flight to Hong Kong.
The acquisition of 24.75% of Baidu's shares in the hands of DFJ is not too urgent, and there are still 15 days to go, but this time the financing with Li Zekai can not be delayed. This financing fund is the guarantee of Lin Feng's series of jihua, and "Counter-Strike Online" Asian Internet Jihua can no longer be delayed, and it must be launched as soon as possible. After the financing, Lin Feng plans to use Li Zekai's background and identity to create a "second shijie" branch in Taiwan, first conduct internal testing of the feasibility of this "Asian interconnection" Jihua, and then set foot in the South Korean and Japanese markets when Jishu matures, and start a real Asian interconnection.
On the plane, Lin Feng booked a business class, and now there is no shortage of money, so he naturally sits better, of course, looking at the beautiful flight attendant is also a very eye-catching thing.
"Nasty, it's out of battery again!" a fashionably dressed girl next to her angrily tapped on something resembling a CD in her hand.
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and curiously glanced at the thing in the girl's hand, this thing looked like it should be a high-tech product, a little bigger than a CD, but it was definitely not a CD, otherwise it would not be possible to knock it like this, and Lin Feng didn't see the disc compartment that popped out the CD.
After tapping the "CD" in her hand a few more times, the girl angrily put it into the bag she was carrying.
"Hello, may I ask what you just listened to?" Lin Feng asked curiously.
"Uh, hello, that's an MP3 player, launched by the innovative company last year, with a 6.4G capacity, can store more than 100 CDs of MP3 music, but it consumes a lot of power, and now it's useless to have such a large capacity, and the battery can't last long. The girl said angrily.
When Lin Feng heard this, his mind exploded.
MP3!MP3!MP3!
MP3 is definitely the hot spot of the future. In particular, Apple's "iPod" not only brought huge profits to Apple, but also made "iPod" a culture, and even a symbol, so that "iPod" has been sold out from one generation to four generations.
Lin Feng only felt that the blood was boiling in his chest, although he didn't know when the "iPod" was produced in his memory, but obviously it had not come out yet, otherwise with the financial resources of the girl next to him who could take business class, although the "iPod" was expensive, but the fashionable appearance and humanized creation would definitely make the girl flock to it.
It seems that it can also produce MP3 itself, and make the "iPod" in advance, so that Apple becomes a pirate. ――Thinking of this, Lin Feng smiled evilly.
However, the MP3 walkman market is definitely an extremely profitable industry. My current industry is focused on the network, although I make money, and the future prospects are extremely bright, but in the end the industry is the right way. Reborn into this shijie, there have been many unpredictable butterfly effects, although everything is still under their control, but the unpredictability of the network industry is as famous as its overnight riches, and now there is such a good opportunity to get involved in the industry, I should not give up.
Especially if you are developing MP3 now and can upgrade to MP4 in the future, this road will be extremely brilliant in the next ten years. Another point is that since the beginning of this year, the price of mobile phones has dropped and gradually begun to become popular, and major web portals have also launched SMS service services, Lin Feng feels that he also has the ability to produce mobile phones. It makes no sense that China's mobile phone market allows Nokia to occupy half of the country, while domestic mobile phones are struggling to survive in the joint slaughter of the remaining foreign brands.
I should be able to change this dilemma, especially if I know the future development direction of mobile phones - large screen, external speakers, Internet access, color screen, etc.
In Lin Feng's planning and vision for the future, the plane arrived in Hong Kong.
This time, Li Zekai personally came to pick up the plane, but there were also a large number of reporters accompanying him. As soon as Lin Feng got off the plane, a large number of reporters came up to him and asked Lin Feng what he thought of Hong Kong's handling of the last flying car* and a series of absurd questions such as whether he was engaged to Miss Allegra.
Escorted by Lin Feng's 2 bodyguards and Li Zekai's bodyguards, Lin Feng entered Li Zekai's Rolls-Royce with difficulty.
"Richard, you've got a lot of cars, and it's different every time you come. Lin Feng sighed.
"Hehe, men, they all love cars, although I can't drive my own car now, but I still have a hobby of collecting cars. Li Zekai smiled and took out a newspaper, "Look, this is the result of the trial of the * Biaoche case that was arrested last time." ”
Lin Feng took a look, and the Hong Kong Supreme Court prosecuted 13 sons and brothers on charges of flying cars and intimidation, and finally each was sentenced to 5 years in prison and fined 1 million, but the sentence was suspended. Lin Feng shook his head secretly, he couldn't imagine that even Hong Kong, a place like Hong Kong, would have this kind of thing, and the most important crime of attacking the Flying Tigers police officers was gone, and the 5-year sentence was also suspended, the same as nothing, as for the 1 million fine, it was simply not a matter for these sons.
Lin Feng's anger, Li Zekai saw it in his eyes, and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder, "Don't think that a legal society is necessarily fair, this society will always be a rich man's shijie." This time, the 13 children of rich families can be fined 1 million yuan and sentenced to five years in prison with a suspended sentence, which is already the limit of what the Hong Kong judiciary can do. After all, the shili behind them is too huge. ”
Lin Feng listened, sighed, and thought that this was indeed the case. In today's legal society, it is true that rich people may not be able to cover the sky, but a group of rich people joining forces is enough to play with society and the legal system.
"By the way, during your stay in Hong Kong, don't go out privately, at least take your two bodyguards with you. Now you have the nicknames of 'Plague God' and 'Evil Star' in Hong Kong's wealthy world. Li Zekai advised. This time, he came to pick up Lin Feng's flight in such a high-profile manner, just to take the opportunity to tell those rich people who were offended by Lin Feng - Lin Feng was a guest of their Li family, don't touch him.
However, Lin Feng offended 13 wealthy people at one time, and it is difficult to guarantee that someone will not sell the Li family's account, so I specially reminded Lin Feng.
Lin Feng nodded, indicating that he would pay attention. This time I came to negotiate a financing contract, and I didn't want to cause trouble in Hong Kong again. However, if these people really want to bump into them, Lin Feng will not be polite. You must know that the two bodyguards brought this time are former senior instructors of the Hong Kong Garrison, and it is not a problem to transfer a company of people without permission.
At that time, it is impossible to say who will suffer!
