Chapter 68: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow Follows
"That, in fact, Gu Cheng restricts me from selling the shares of Legendary Entertainment that I hold on behalf of me, mainly using a premium VAM agreement. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info He originally attached an over-limit repurchase clause, if the company's stock price falls below a certain threshold, I have the right to force Gu Cheng to buy back. If it is higher than a certain threshold, he has the right to take the initiative to request a buyback.
In the contract, he can't stop me from selling to a third party after the equity ban is lifted, but if I do sell and the company's outstanding stock price is higher than the buyback threshold when I sell, I need to double the difference in the price I earned......"
Quan Shunyu struggled again and again, revealing the secrets and discernments of his original cooperation with Gu Cheng.
Sun Zhengyi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Although Quan Shunyu did not explicitly agree to cooperate with him, as long as Quan Shunyu was willing to ask him for advice on "how to operate technically if it is possible to cooperate", there will be a drama in this matter.
"What's so hard about that? As long as you are willing to sell, double the compensation for this part of the price difference, I will help you carry it! Sun Zhengyi is good at persuasion, but he is very arrogant.
For him, an extra premium of 10 to 20 percent is not a big deal at all, as long as it can achieve the goal.
"That'...... I'm just asking casually, and we'll talk about it then. Quan Shunyu was a little flustered, as if it would take a lot of determination for him to betray Gu Cheng, and finally chose to retreat.
Sun Zhengyi didn't push too much, he chose to capture the old man.
If Quan Shunyu behaved too directly, Sun Zhengyi would have to wonder if there was a conspiracy in it.
Three days later, Sun Zhengyi seized another opportunity to bring up the old story again. This time, Quan Shunyu is very thoughtful, and it seems that he has been thinking about this issue when he goes back in the past few days.
Quan Shunyu did not answer directly, but asked Sun Zhengyi's motives: What is the ultimate goal of you to buy my shares?
What is the ultimate goal? Of course, it is Legendary Entertainment that holds more than 51% of the shares and thus controls the company!
However, can this purpose be bluntly stated?
Sun Zhengyi thought twice and decided to speak straight.
In this way, it seems that he is more sincere, does not deceive potential partners, and his character is more reliable than Gu Cheng.
Sun Zhengyi's original words are as follows: "My purpose in absorbing shares is, of course, to seize the company's management rights, and not to allow Gu Cheng to use the benefits of related party transactions to convey and harm the interests of other shareholders and retail investors." ā
After hearing this, Quan Shunyu looked embarrassed: "Then do you want to kick Ah Cheng out of the company's management?" ā
"How come, the daily operation of the company is normal, I will still trust Gu Cheng, but this kind of founder is too much of a thing, and it is always the interests of black shareholders, so I want to teach him how to do business legally and control the channels for his external interests. If Gu Cheng can make money from the company, I won't embarrass him. ā
When Sun Zhengyi said this, he tried his best to put on a harmless appearance, as if he was really forced by Gu Cheng to defend himself.
Quan Shunyu didn't squeak, as if he was trying to figure out the truth of Sun Zhengyi's words. Sun Zhengyi was secretly happy in his heart, and persuaded while the iron was hot:
"Xiaoquan, in fact, if you think about it, I did this for Gu Cheng's good. He is so clever, even if he succeeds and makes a little money now, this bad reputation will spread in the future, who else will play with him on the NASDAQ? Do his other companies want to IPO in the future?
Today, we are grabbing more management rights of the company in order to help him do a good job in financial standards, punish the past and the future, and cure the disease and save people. As long as he doesn't do financial irregularities and develops good habits, he will be used for the rest of his life......"
If Gu Cheng was present at the moment, I am afraid he should still thank Sun Zhengyi for his kindness.
It turned out that Sun Zheng wanted to "help him".
Quan Shunyu seemed to have made up his mind, and finally questioned a little: "But you only have about 22% of the equity at present, and if you want to get 51%, you still have to absorb nearly 30%, what is the use of relying on me alone?" For this plan, you're afraid you'll have to prepare 2 billion ...... No, even $2.5 billion, right? ā
"You don't have to worry about this, SoftBank has money." Sun Zhengyi lightly signaled that Quan Shunyu didn't have to worry too much.
In fact, Sun Zhengyi has already been secretly happy in his heart, and the cash he still needs to prepare is only half of what Quan Shunyu said.
Because as early as April, after Sun Zhengyi was dissatisfied with Gu Cheng, Sun Zhengyi had already absorbed chips in the NASDAQ market. Now, after slowly absorbing for three months, repeatedly making graphics, he has absorbed enough outstanding shares of more than 10% of the company's total share capital. And in this operation, he spent only a measly six or seven billion dollars.
His current share capital on hand has long exceeded 30%, not the 20% estimated by Kwon Shunyu. When the time comes, Quan Shunyu will be done, and then Zhu Jun, the actual operator of the company, will be pulled over, plus the outstanding shares, and it will properly exceed 51%āā
Sun Zhengyi believes that Zhu Jun can also be pulled, because after Zhu Jun's Nine Cities was absorbed by Gu Cheng's Legendary Entertainment, all of Zhu Jun's interests were within Legendary Entertainment. As for Gu Cheng's other businesses, such as Alipay and YY Network Technology, Zhu Jun has no shares at all. Gu Cheng used Legend Entertainment's money to post Alipay, which was harming Zhu Jun's interests.
When all this layout is completed, it will be time to see how Gu Cheng will be connected to the transaction! All the business decisions that damage Legend Entertainment and fatten Alipay, Sun Zhengyi will veto them all through the board of directors!
After a lot of soft grinding and hard bubbles, Quan Shunyu acquiesced to the PY deal with Sun Zhengyi.
However, it is still July, and the ban has not yet been lifted.
Even after the ban is lifted, such a large-scale equity transaction should not be too violent, so Sun Zhengyi's plan will not be completely completed until the end of September, and then he will officially meet Gu Chengtu.
At the moment, all this still needs to be "confidential", and more details of the transaction need to be negotiated by the two sides.
ā¦ā¦
Seoul and Qiantang are actually operated in two lines.
When Sun Zhengyi thought that his plan had succeeded, it had only been half a month since Gu Cheng left the group after filming "Sunset at Three Chomes".
During this period after returning to China, Gu Cheng's main focus shifted back to the new round of promotion of Renren and Alipay, as well as the confrontation with Tengyun.
Because since the beginning of the summer vacation, the auditions for each division of "Girls' Generation" and "Super Girl" have been completed and entered the semi-finals.
The remaining contestants in each competition area were reduced to 20, and then all the singers in each round of the show came to the stage to sing one round, and after the judges' scoring, the audience's scoring, and Renren/QQ Space users' likes, flowers, and other four parts of the score, it was decided which three girls were eliminated in this round.
After five weeks of elimination, with only 5 people left in each division, all the people from the four major regions of the country will be gathered together for the final finals. The 20 people who entered the finals will no longer be eliminated, but will be ranked directly after the finals, to determine the champions, runners-up and third runners-up, and to arrange the rankings of the follow-up players, and everyone will be distinguished.
YY Network Technology and Tengyun have also entered a white-hot competition by helping the talent show vote online and at the same time pulling people from the draft audience to feed back the software user group.
Gu Cheng and Ma Teng both came up with a lot of short serial tricks and played fiercely.
At present, the achievements of YY network technology and "Girls' Generation" have steadily suppressed the combination of QQ and "Super Girl".
The main gap lies in the credibility of the two software.
The competition systems of "Girls' Generation" and "Super Girl" are similar, one is nothing more than taking into account the "comprehensive quality" such as appearance, and the other purely depends on the singing. It is said that the Super Girl show looks more neighborly and makes ordinary girls with a popular heart more immersive, but since July, there have been repeated scandals in major media about Super Girl's likes and votes.
"There are many people who have registered dozens or even hundreds of QQ numbers to like their favorite girls! It's so shameless. What is this called, it is simply the world of brushes! ā
Such remarks, if it were the state of the Tengyun family in parallel time and space, would naturally not be so noisy. But now that there is a ruthless character like Gu Cheng eyeing him by the side, how can he let go of all the opportunities to stab Ma Teng fiercely?
Even if there is no public relations draft on the market, or the public does not pay attention to this issue, Gu Cheng will spend money to buy articles from major portals to pay attention to this issue.
Ma Teng wanted to spend money to buy a public relations draft to block public opinion and dilute the influence, but he couldn't compare to Gu Cheng than burning money, so he could only bring humiliation on himself.
By the middle of July, Tengyun couldn't bear it anymore and began to avoid the real and wash the ground: "Tengyun Company has repeatedly publicly stated that all newly registered QQ accounts within the last three months cannot participate in the activities of liking and voting, and our Tengyun technical department will strictly implement it and will not tolerate vote swiping!" ā
The original intention of this trick is to win back the credibility of Tengyun's acquaintances, and prove that the brush can't use QQ to brush likes.
However, this has led to many normal QQ users who were newly registered after the second quarter of this year being injured by mistake.
People are not brushes at all, but they have just become users of social software this year. QQ deprived these people of the right to like, which immediately made these users very angry.
Although among the nearly 15 million newly registered QQ users in the second and third quarters of this year, only 20% may be interested in talent shows; Of these two percent, perhaps only a small half is firm to the extent that "if you don't like QQ, I'll abandon Q".
But in any case, according to professional estimates, at least three million users who would have been in the pit of QQ and Super Girl were forced into the camp of YY/Renren and "Girls' Generation" because of this unequal treatment.
This eliminated the other's strengths, and suddenly shortened the gap of 6 million users for the YY system, and almost vomited blood in anger.
After discovering the severity of the problem, Tengyun slightly relaxed the control of "the voting power of newly registered QQ numbers in the second and third quarters of this year", and changed it to restrict "the behavior of netizens with the same IP address voting for the same player multiple times in a day".
This trick seems to be less smuggling than the first one, but after it was implemented, there was a problem: it was very common for Internet users who surfed the Internet in Internet cafes to use the same computer as everyone else every day. The situation is similar for those who use the Internet in the electronic reading room of the university library.
According to Tengyun's new policy, if the person on the computer who went online two hours ago voted for Zhou Bising, the person who came to the Internet later logged in to his QQ space and then voted will be invalid.
This is undoubtedly a very fatal injury for users who want to like the goddess and watch.
But at the beginning, the dicks didn't notice this - Tengyun was very chicken thief, and he didn't directly display the failure of likes on the user interface, but allowed users to like, but in the end, the actual number of likes in the background was not counted.
If there is no opponent black for this move, it is naturally not so easy to find.
However, the people from the YY department were watching from the side up close, how could they not criticize? After a rigorous evaluation, I found a few super girl who had never liked the most popular street contestants to do experiments, and there were pictures and truths, and a public relations draft of justification service appeared.
Public opinion was in an uproar.
Over time, those netizens who were hurt by their sense of participation gradually decreased their attention to "Super Girl", and felt that the show "Girls' Generation" was more accessible and real.
Tengyun was anxious, and finally Ma Teng had to admit that he was soft: playing the trick of free likes for registered users, QQ, which is not a real-name stranger social background, really can't play Renren.com/YY in terms of credibility.
So Tengyun could only focus on paying for flowers.
In this regard, it is the same as the SMS voting in later generations, one dollar and one vote, and the child is not bullied. Anyway, it costs money, and I'm not afraid of cheating with software with brushes.
As for the payment channel for sending flowers, it naturally depends on Q coins.
Ma Teng is full of ambition and wholeheartedly plans to rely on this wave of Mango Satellite TV to push out the difficult account of Q coins.
However, it's only 04 years now, what is Q coin? What can I buy?
In addition to buying QQ members and filling red diamonds, yellow diamonds and black diamonds, there is no other diamond to use. The QQ game of krypton gold has not yet been seen.
After Wang Qingming jumped to YY, Ren Yuxin, who successfully sat down as the technical director of Tengyun Game Division, made a QQ game hall for Ma Teng at the end of last year. But now the games in the hall are only all kinds of chess and cards, barely grabbing the business of one shot Lianzhong.
But this thing QQ can do YY can also do, there is no technical content. YY itself is a game voice tool, and its genes in the game industry are even more than QQ.
Without the support of sufficient consumption channels, Q coin is a pit that can only be entered and not delivered. Compared with Alipay, Tengyun lost again in the paid flower delivery war.
"People have left money in Alipay, and they can buy things on Taobao at any time, buy records and songs on Dingdang, and buy books on Dengdang. What can I buy with Q coins? Purchasing power is not waiting at all.
Now there are still people on the market who fold out Q coins, and one Q coin can only top eight cents and five real money. The money in Alipay is really coming and going, and I understand that one piece is one piece. I left the balance of Q coins in the QQ account after I put pen to paper! ā
This viewpoint represents the attitude of the vast majority of Chinese people.
One is that 50 million users usually save money, and the other is that they will only rush into it when they buy diamonds. When it comes to impulse consumption, the difference in conversion rate is more than ten times worse.
Coupled with the fan value system brought by Alipay and YY's real-name system, Tengyun can't play at all.
Whether it is free likes supported by credibility or paid flower delivery supported by online payment systems, "Super Girl" has completely defeated "Girls' Generation".
The gap in the number of viewers of these two programs has widened by as much as one or two million. Even the number of users who helped YY and Renren to pull in has also snowballed, and the growth rate is estimated to be at least twice that of the growth brought by "Super Girl" to QQ.
"In the business of draft interaction, Ma Teng should not be able to make waves."
After successfully suppressing QQ, Gu Cheng's mood was indescribably happy. The tense nerves that have been rotating continuously since returning from filming can finally relax.
He closed the computer, drank a cup of tea and rested for a few minutes, when he saw a call coming in from his mobile phone from a secret number.
Less than five people have called this number, and it is currently from Quan Shunyu, and the caller number is not commonly used by Quan Shunyu.
Gu Cheng's expression froze, and he picked up: "What do you say?" ā
"Sun Zhengyi took the bait."
"Very good, you take your time at the pace, don't rush."
