Chapter 758: Tom Operates Independently
Hua Cheng's heart was uneven, he didn't expect this day to come at all.
Tom Group has a strong background and shareholder status, such as Li Jiacheng's Cheung Kong Group, which was also a major shareholder with more than 20% of the shares when Tom was first established.
It's just that after Tom Online was listed on the Nardas and Xiangjiang Stock Exchanges, last year and this year, Cheung Kong Asset Group sold almost all its shares, leaving only about 8% of the market stocks in its hands.
However, from the fact that Li Jiacheng still holds 8% of the shares, it can be seen that the development potential of this Tom Group cannot be underestimated.
Tom Group, in fact, has always been a competitor of Google Group, and it is also one of the more powerful competitors in Asia.
Tom Internet Company, which is mainly based on Tom online portal, is involved in Internet business, which occupies a lot of portal user market quota in Xiangjiang, Baodao, Australia and magnesium country.
Tom's online portal now has more than 5 million registered users, and its daily traffic is also stable at around one million, which is definitely among the top 10 portals in Asia.
Tom Outdoor Media Group, a company that does outdoor advertising, and Tengda Media Company has a lot of business competition conflicts, Li Feiteng's many advertising ideas made, Tom Outdoor Media Group quickly imitated to keep up, using its own advantages, has been able to compete for some market users from Tengda Media's competition, and in the industry to be the leader, the leader.
It can be said that the Tom Group is like another Tengxun copycat empire. Although it is not a direct imitation product. But Tom has had a lot of success. All traces of imitation can be found out.
In addition to internet and media, Tom also works in sports, publishing, television and entertainment.
However, in fact, the Tom Group is far from the scale of its previous life.
Many of Philip Lee's companies have plundered the businesses that originally belonged to the Tom Group.
For example, China Entertainment Satellite TV, itself is a TV business jointly held by Tom Group and Li Jiacheng, but it was taken by Li Feiteng last year. Acquired out.
Tom's City-State Publishing Holding Group originally had a total of more than 40 publishing houses, but after Li Feiteng's Feiteng Literary Group and Chen Tianqiao's Shanda Entertainment Technology Group were involved in the publishing industry, Tom's publishing houses were either poached from their talents or directly forced to sell their publishing houses.
Speaking of Chen Tianqiao, he started to make two adapted legendary games "Legend of Blood" and "Legend World" two years ago, and made a joint venture with Feiteng Literature Group, using the money he earned to establish Shanda Entertainment Technology Group. It also includes complex business investments.
Today, Shanda Entertainment Technology Group includes nine subsidiaries.
First. Shanda Junlong E-commerce Company, this company, is the Junlong Card Company invested and established by Li Feiteng, and merged into Shanda Group in the form of shares.
Previously, Junlong All-in-One Card Company was operated alone, including companies such as Qingmu, Longteng, Yunteng, etc., which were not involved in the business of point cards, so Li Feiteng's 100% holding company made an astonishing net profit of nearly 200 million yuan for him in just two years!
However, with the popularity of online banking and Alipay platforms, as well as his other companies, all began to make point cards, the business sales of Junlong Card continued to decline, and it was difficult to make a lot of money for Li Feiteng.
So, Li Feiteng simply packaged and sold the company, and at the same time liberated the business restrictions that other companies could not do point cards.
But, in any case, the Junlong point card platform has formed a brand benefit, and players recognize Junlong, just like South Telecom and North Netcom, and the broadband that pulls the wire when playing games.
At this stage, in addition to acting as an agent for the operation of games, Shanda has not been deeply involved in the game development industry, because of the monopoly position and formation of Yunteng Game Company, even if there is still a lot of market volume, but it has been carved up by the original four major network companies. Now it is the four major network subsidiaries of Google Group: Qingmu, NetEase, Longteng, and Soarc, which carve up the blank market outside the occupation of Yunteng Games.
Shanda's third company is Shanda Culture Publishing Company, which acquires overseas publishing houses, including audio-visual companies, as well as the Three Kingdoms Killing Culture Board Game Company, which was formerly owned by Feiteng Group.
The reason why Li Feiteng separated the board game culture company from the Feiteng Group is that the brand of the Feiteng Group is too big, and the board game culture company can form another big brand, and Shanda has the potential in this regard.
In his previous life, Shanda was mainly famous in games, but in this life, Li Feiteng made Yunteng Games stronger, and if he wanted Shanda to become stronger, he needed to find another business to replace it, and the board game culture could give Shanda a lot of support.
At present, Shanda is still mainly engaged in the three major businesses of point cards, games, and board games, and the other six subsidiaries are basically website platforms, such as group buying network, 4341 game information portal, and Kaixin.com, which are all some website platforms that Li Feiteng has assigned to Shanda to do, which are innovative but do not have much impact on the news portal.
In 2001, domestic entertainment information was still very scarce, and people were not so concerned about gossip, including not many gamers, so Shanda's development in this area did not see any advantages.
Only Li Feiteng knows that not only will he not make a profit now, but it will also be difficult to make a profit in the future, mainly relying on the platform of the website to attract users and improve Shanda's brand awareness.
Tom Group, a comprehensive Internet media company established early and with more funds, is now worth more than Chen Tianqiao's Shanda Group.
However, there is nothing to compare between the two, as early as when Tom was established, Li Jiacheng gave a lot of resources and help, and when Li Jiacheng went public in Tom, including Li Feiteng's acquisition of China Entertainment Satellite TV last year, Li Jiacheng made a lot of money.
If this is not the case, Li Feiteng's acquisition of Tom Group now will definitely not be about 200 million Hong Kong dollars, I am afraid it will take more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars to take it.
However, Shanda Group was just established this year, and it is also a new brand that has been merged by the reorganization of several old companies of Li Feiteng, whether it is resource support or background background, in fact, it is not much worse than Tom, what is missing is just a development stealing machine and time.
Hua Cheng and Li Feiteng knew the current situation of Tom Group at a glance, so basically there was no too in-depth communication, and Hua Cheng had no power to resist, and he asked helplessly: "I don't know when Mr. Li is going to hold a board meeting?"
When Li Feiteng heard this, he smiled and asked, "Why do you have to hold a board meeting?"
Hua Cheng was stunned for a moment, and he immediately thought of a possibility, that is, the young man in front of him was ready to get the shares from everyone, including 27% in his own hands.
Li Feiteng didn't let him think about it, he said very directly: "Mr. Hua, I came to see you in person this time, just to ask you, do you hold 27% of the Tom Group, can you sell it?"
Hua Cheng chuckled in his heart, but he didn't expect him to guess correctly!
To be honest, Hua Cheng heard such a question, and felt extremely humiliated in his heart.
He thought, why, why did this young man buy his own company when he said that he would buy his own company?
Why should he say yes!
Plutocratic!
Is it great to be powerful?
I'm not going to buy it yet! I ......
Hua Cheng was extremely angry in his heart, but he turned his head to look at Li Feiteng with a calm face, but he said without temper at all: "Mr. Li, do I have a choice?"
"You have, I am not sure at all about the 8% shares held by Li Jiacheng, and I can't get the other 3% of the shares circulating in the market, you have 27% of the shares in your hands, a total of 38% of the shares, I can't get it.
Although there are other 62% shares, it is inevitable that some people want to sit on the ground and start the price, and if you don't want to, then I really can't take the Tom Group......"
After Li Feiteng said this, he continued: "You also know that once I really regard a certain company as an enemy, it is basically the end of your life and death. ”
The threat of Chi Guoguo, this is the next battle book!
Huacheng really wants to slap the table and sue him Li Feiteng, the Tom Group I founded will not be packaged and sold and become someone else's subsidiary!
But reality and reason told him that it was inappropriate to do so, and Li Feiteng was not wrong at all, from these years, it can be seen from the history of his rise that the companies that he values are either hollowed out of talents, or swallowed up, or directly bankrupt by competition.
In the middle, it can be seen that Li Feiteng has used a lot of means in it, bright, insidious, legitimate, despicable, it can be said that this man is doing everything in the mall, doing everything!
As an opponent with a businessman like Li Feiteng, Huacheng really has no confidence at all.
"Mr. Li, tell me, how much are you going to bid to buy my shares?" Hua Cheng asked pretending to be very calm.
Li Feiteng finally relented when he heard the seniors in front of him, and a victorious smile appeared on his face, for him, what he was afraid of was to meet the kind of seniors who refused to compromise if they wanted to save face in life or death.
Hua Cheng is a smart man, and if he completes Tom's acquisition, he will definitely continue to serve as president.
Of course, if he disobeys and prevents Tom from joining the Google Group, the consequence will be ruined.
However, Li Feiteng believes that he will choose the former, because the price he offers to Huacheng is higher than that of other shareholders, the reason is very simple, this Huacheng is a talent!
"Mr. Hua, if you are really willing to sell, I am ready to use 50 million yuan to acquire 20% of the shares in your hands, and the other 7% of the shares, I will let you continue to hold them, what do you think?" (To be continued......)
