Chapter 313: Future Third Generation Search
As soon as Ru Lynch heard Li Feiteng's words, she was a little anxious.
When ITQ bought Soxin for $100 million, it acquired a 60% stake, but the total valuation was $200 million, which is another premium acquisition.
If these shareholders withdraw their shares, ITQ, as the actual holding company of Soxin, will either choose to find another shareholder or take over their shares by itself.
In any case, it is very disadvantageous for the search itself, because 40% of them are worth $100 million.
"Boss, if they withdraw their shares, we will lose a lot of money, and we will be in great trouble. ”
Li Feiteng heard Ru Linqi speak in Chinese, and he quickly asked her why.
After listening to the reason she said, he smiled and waved his hand, looked back at the shareholders, and said: "You want to withdraw your shares, right, come to the company tomorrow with the contract, and we will accept the shares in your hands according to the previous agreement." ”
"Boss, this costs 100 million US dollars, we don't need to control all the shares!" Ru Linqi couldn't help but said, she was really worried that Li Feiteng would invest all the funds of ITQ if he continued like this, and once this happened, this venture capital company would not be called venture capital, but directly called the holding company.
"I know what you think, Mr. Ru, you don't have to worry, spend 100 million US dollars, I will find you another 100 million US dollars back, besides, I just see that they are unhappy, after half a year, you can transfer the shares of Soxin, and it is a high-price transfer, let them see what they have done!" Li Feiteng hurriedly said to her to understand, otherwise Ru Linqi would feel uncomfortable, and he would have a headache to find another good venture capital housekeeper in the future.
"That's what you said. Don't talk and don't count!" Ru Lynch stared at him earnestly. She temporarily believed Li Feiteng's words.
"Oops. I'm lying to you, really. ”
Several shareholders waited for Li Feiteng and Ru Linqi to finish the Chinese dialogue, and they all came up with smiles on their faces, and they were very enthusiastic to shake hands with Li Feiteng.
But Li Feiteng didn't give a good face directly, and said coldly: "You vampires, please come on, my hand is not something you can hold casually." ”
"Proud hairy boy. You don't know how to lift up Asian, we will definitely unite our friends to stop investing in search of letters, and you will wait for bankruptcy!"
"Get out, hurry up!" Li Feiteng angrily pointed to the door, he added: "Disappear in front of me immediately, or let the security guard ask you out!"
Four or five shareholders shook their heads and scolded and left the conference room, although they were very angry on the surface, but they were happy in their hearts, because of the withdrawal of shares. For them only to earn and not to lose.
They have long wanted to withdraw their shares, but the contract has not expired. Now it's okay, ITQ actually agreed.
"What a teenager with IQ problems, hum, Dirk, you have 10% of the shares, you will make the most money this time, you must invite us to the bar for a few drinks!"
"That's right, Dirk, you only used $8 million for 10%, and after five years, you made a net profit of $12 million!"
"Well, after the transfer of shares tomorrow, I'll invite you to drink. A very fat white-haired man smirked sly, he would not invite this group of people to drink, it would cost hundreds of dollars to drink, as a successful capitalist, thrift is his virtue.
In the conference room, after Li Feiteng sent away this group of stupid pigs, he looked at the rest of the senior management coldly, and said: "Everyone has also seen that I am a capitalist who likes dictatorship, and I don't like others to point fingers...... Now, the people I read, you can roll up and get out!"
"Mr. Norton, Vice President and Head of Administration, you can look for your next job. ”
When Norton heard this, he stood up from his seat as if he had been pricked with a needle, and asked incomprehensibly, "Mr. Li, why?
President Alder also frowned, and he also stood up and said: "Mr. Li, Mr. Norton is a very good manager, he is my right-hand man. ”
"Okay, Mr. Alder, after you have finished working for this month, you can follow your deputy and go to find work together. Li Feiteng said lightly.
In an instant, there was a noisy discussion in the conference room, and some of the executives who were doing it, everyone was in a commotion, and the president and vice president were going to be kicked away, could they stay?
Li Yanhong, who was sitting in the last row of the conference room, touched his nose, he felt that Li Feiteng was a little impulsive, after all, the company had just been acquired not long ago, and people from many departments had not been placed in it, so if the president and vice president were killed now, who would be in charge of the company?
"Quiet, everyone, be quiet!" Li Feiteng squinted his eyes, and everyone's discussions and commotion were all expected by him.
"I announce that Miss Mary, the head of the personnel department, also holds the position of head of administration. ”
"Mr. Derek, the director of the technical department, temporarily acted as the vice president, and Li Yanhong temporarily served as the director of the technical department. ”
"Miss Wang Liya, head of the marketing department, congratulations on becoming the acting president and secretary to the chairman, please familiarize yourself with Alder's business, and in the next month, I will look at your table and choose to adjust the appropriate position for you......"
One by one, promotions and layoffs came out of Li Feiteng's mouth, and in less than five minutes, the conference room became silent, and most of the people had smiles on their faces, while the remaining people were discouraged and had a hard time accepting the fact that they were fired.
Li Feiteng laughed until the end, he was a manager in his previous life, and he knows very well what the so-called management does, the most important thing in an Internet company is not the management, but the technical department.
Moreover, Soxin is a large company, and there are a lot of talent reserves, and he is now only a third of the top management, which has no impact on the company's management.
Even if the group of people in front of him are all gone, as long as he doesn't move the people below, the middle layer will come up immediately, and the bottom layer will soon become the middle level, protecting the foundation, then the high level is like a branch, let him cut it, at most it will affect it for a while, and it will definitely not cause a big difference.
Li Feiteng wants to thank that this is the magnesium country, if it is in China, then he does not dare to cut the top level so drastically, because the layers are connected, a high-level, representing a management faction of the company, if he moves a high-level, he must be fully prepared, this faction, all the people are killed, and a new group of teams can be found.
The magnesium country is different, everyone is very independent and free, even if there are one or two people who have a good relationship, but it will definitely not develop into a faction.
After the meeting, when everyone walked out of the conference room, Ru Linqi finally said with admiration: "Boss, it seems that you really understand the culture of the magnesium country, this time, as long as we post the announcement that the middle and bottom levels will not lay off employees within three years, the turmoil will soon pass." ”
"You still don't know enough about the culture of the magnesium country, just like that, the company will be fine, and there will be no turmoil that you are worried about. Li Feiteng smiled.
Ru Lynch nodded slightly, but she immediately became worried and said: "Boss, ITQ has only been established for more than half a year, and now the funds have consumed nearly 300 million US dollars, and there is only 100 million liquidity in the account. ”
Hearing her worries again and again, no matter how good Li Feiteng's temper was, he said a little speechlessly: "Don't worry about this, no matter how bad it is, use Searchin Holdings ITQ to return the funds to your hands, is there any difficulty in changing hands with one left hand?"
"That's what the boss said. Ru Linqi blushed and lowered her head, she looked down on Li Feiteng a little, I have to say that she was confused by the immature face of the young man in front of her.
"Hey, where's Li Yanhong?"
"You didn't tell him to stay. ”
"You go and call him. ”
After she went to call Li Yanhong over, Li Feiteng hurriedly smiled and said: "I took down the two masters of Google yesterday, and in the past two days, you have moved the technical department to the new building over there, and when the time is ripe, I will give you funds to let you return to China to build a first-class search engine platform that belongs to our Chinese people." ”
Li Yanhong nodded, and he asked, "Will Soxin and Google merge?"
Li Feiteng has already considered this problem, that is, it will not be merged.
Because the current daily users of search are as high as 5 million, but once Li Yanhong leaves search and stays in the technical department, unless he finds some masters, it is difficult for search to have a chance to get ahead.
As for making a portal, he had this idea before, but it was overturned, because Qingmu Portal was about to go abroad and fight directly with Yahoo, and he still needed a search to help, not compete with Qingmu.
There is a way to take back the commercial advertisements of search and the search services provided by other websites, and concentrate on making a search engine platform, like Google and Baidu.
It's just that, in this way, the value of Google's deposit is greatly reduced.
Now Li Feiteng's new idea is to continue to maintain Soxin, and after Google's brand is built, Souxin will be made into a third-generation search platform.
The third-generation search platform is the "search business concept" proposed by a domestic technical expert after searching for IQ and EQ.
This kind of search platform, after each search result comes out, it does not display hyperlink addresses and snapshots of crawled web pages, but thematic result pages, a result page similar to the news page of the portal - it is the "search" in the previous life!
Although the company is small, there is no doubt that it has survived and has a certain market share.
Li Feiteng is more optimistic about the search mode of "search", and directly typesets the content into a special results page, making it a product between a portal and a search platform, although it was not popular in China in the previous life, but now in the United States is facing a large number of netizens around the world, and he is very confident that the search will also become a big platform.
"Tonight, I'll take you over to communicate with Page and Bryn, and I have a new concept of development, and I won't follow your current development model in the future. (To be continued......)
