Volume 2 The Commodity Society Chapter 101 Charcoal in the Snow
The return of Chen Feng, the class leader, especially the comfort of the two big meals, all the students in the third and third classes of junior high school once again radiated their infinite love for their class. Needless to say, the discipline in the classroom has become better again, which makes those teachers in charge of the class amazed.
The return of Chen Feng, the school grass, is not only a great joy for the third class of junior high school, but also a great joy for the junior high school of the city's No. 1 middle school in a sense. For more than a month, the flag-raising ceremony held by the school every week has obviously lost a lot of color without Chen Feng, the flag bearer, which is the same feeling of all teachers and students. For Chen Feng's return, the school leaders also personally found Chen Feng to talk to him for the first time, especially the principal Jiang Zhongping, who had high hopes for Chen Feng, and cordially inquired about his "condition", Chen Feng had to answer embarrassedly that he was no longer in trouble, so that he was very relieved, so he proposed to Chen Feng to add a burden to him and appoint him as the president of the junior high school student union. Chen Feng wanted to refuse, but seeing the principal's eyes full of encouragement and appreciation, Chen Feng really couldn't refuse, so he had to nod helplessly and agree.
A few days later, Chen Feng was asked to participate in the student union president election held by the school, and soon after, at the school assembly, the principal Jiang Zhongping announced that Chen Feng had successfully elected as the president of the student union of the school's junior high school for ×× term.
For the specific list of student union cadres, he had to preside over the presidium meeting twice a day to prepare for the new student union team. What he hates the most is that when the school leaders want to go to the district, the city or other places to hold a certain meeting, they will bring him as a follower, which makes Chen Feng hate it, and then he simply used his busy studies as an excuse to talk to the principal, and in the future, he will go to the outside school to hold a meeting unless he repeats the meeting. It is better not to let him participate, so as not to delay his studies. The principal thought about this and agreed, and Chen Feng then asked the principal for permission to add a vice chairman, in the previous school's student union did not have the position of vice president, obviously the school did not particularly care about this, but some other schools generally have this deputy position, the principal obviously attached great importance to him, and agreed to his request. He was also asked to nominate specific candidates. "Virtuous people do not avoid relatives" or "fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders", Chen Feng immediately nominated Ling Xiao, the deputy head of the class, to serve as the vice chairman of the junior high school student union. Ling Xiao has several years of experience as a cadre, especially the deputy squad leader in the past two years. The principal waved his hand and immediately agreed. As a result, Ling Xiao, who "works more for the capable", once again became Chen Feng's substitute, but he was very willing, and he was grateful to Chen Feng for mentioning him so specially.
With Ling Xiao, the vice chairman, he, the chairman, once again became the shopkeeper. Unless it's something important to make decisions in school. He didn't even want to go to the regular weekly student council meeting. And Ling Xiao did not disappoint him, and took care of the student union in an orderly manner, and those student union cadres knew that Chen Feng was the big backer behind him, so they all listened to him and didn't have any moths. The students throughout the middle school will appear to be very cooperative. Compared with the previous session, the work efficiency has improved a lot, so that the school leaders are very satisfied, and praise Chen Feng, the president of the student union, is really not wrong.
Chen Feng, who is finally idle, finally has the time and mood to care about the outside world. First of all, on the Indonesian side, when East Timor held a referendum in July this year, almost 80 percent of the people voted in favor of independence and declared independence from Indonesia. With this good news, Aceh and Papua, as well as local independent separatist organizations, have become active as if they were doping. Appeals have been made to the Indonesian government and the international community to replicate the model of Timor-Leste and to achieve referendums in their respective regions. The Indonesian government, of course, disagrees. As a result, the confrontation between all sides, which had been slightly eased, escalated again. The whole country of Indonesia is full of smoke, and the government army is exhausted. And with the strong financial support of an unknown consortium and the precedent of East Timor, the militants of the separatist groups in various places have hope and high morale, and compared with the Indonesian government army, the country's economy is rotten, the treasury is empty, and the inflation rate is so high that it has reached a terrifying level, and the people have to carry a sack of rupiah if they want to eat a meal on the street。 Even in the army, many soldiers have not been paid for several months, and of course their enthusiasm* and morale are not very high for such a desperate thing as encircling and suppressing separatist armed groups. In some areas, especially in Aceh and Papua, government forces have been defeated by separatist forces, causing a headache for the Indonesian government. Coupled with the pressure of international public opinion and the pressure of various governments, the Indonesian government, which was anxious, had no choice but to accept the mediation of the United Nations again in September and start a new round of negotiations with separatist organizations in various places. Now, a month has passed, and they are still negotiating, but this time the outside world has predicted that the Indonesian government is more likely to make concessions. Because judging from the current situation, the Indonesian government has lost control of the situation, and if it does not give in, it will only make things worse.
SECONDLY, MESSER, ON ITS PART, FINALLY COMPLETED FENGSAI'S PLAN TO TAKE A STAKE IN GOLDMAN SACHS AND MORGAN STANLEY IN THE UNITED STATES IN EARLY SEPTEMBER, INVESTING NEARLY $20 BILLION AND HOLDING 12.8% AND 9.6% OF THE SHARES OF THE TWO COMPANIES RESPECTIVELY.
He has fulfilled his long-cherished wish to invest in the U.S. financial and investment industries.
And Chen Feng also found out from his memory the projects that are worth investing in at this time. Anyway, being idle in the classroom is also idle, in 1999, the most worthy of Chen Feng's investment in this year's project, of course, belongs to the future domestic Internet industry overlord Tengxun, Chen Feng recalled in detail the development history of Tengxun that he had seen on the Internet in his previous life: "In November 1998, Tengxun Company was formally established and launched a wireless Internet paging solution; February 10, 1999. Tengxun company's instant messaging service was opened, and the official launch of QQ99b0210, and wireless paging, G** short message, IP telephone network interconnection, from that day, QQ began to change the way of communication of Chinese people. In November of the same year, the number of registered QQ users exceeded 1 million, and in 2000......"
Chen Feng read its development history out of his mind as if he was reading a book, Chen Feng didn't realize it at first, but after he even thought of the long history of the next few years. Chen Feng couldn't help but be surprised by his inhuman memory. You know, when he first read the history of Tengxun's development on the Internet. didn't memorize it like an ancient poem, which was too ** after all. But now he is a little inexplicably memorizing the entire history of its development. It's a little weird, too.
Chen Feng then recalled some major events in the next few years in his mind, especially some specific numbers and dates, but he remembered them just as accurately.
Chen Feng then thought of the fact that in the past few days, he suddenly had some unforgettable skills, reading financial magazines and newspapers when he was bored, and when he tried to recall some of them afterwards, he could recall them.
Chen Feng thought about the reason for his sudden change. Naturally, I thought of the "Arhat Guide". In the past two months, Chen Feng has been insisting on the above posture every day, and just a few days ago he successfully achieved the sixth posture, and it seems that just a few days after the sixth posture, he suddenly became more deaf and clear-headed, and after that, his memory suddenly became powerful. Could it be that this "Arhat Miracle" is really because of this?
Chen Feng can't be 100% sure, but he is not far from ten. I can't help but cherish this "Arhat Miracle" even more. The first time I decided to treat that piece of silk cloth as a family heirloom in the future. However, he thought of the truth of his guilt, and after hesitating for a while, he made the opposite decision, and after he succeeded in all the eighteen postures on the silk cloth, he destroyed it. After all. What you want to keep secret is the most secure and secure thing to keep in your mind.
Temporarily putting aside the matter of "divine skills", Chen Feng continued to recall the history of Tengxun in his mind. As the founder of Tengxun, Ma Huateng never imagined that in the next few years, hundreds of millions of people would use it and bring him incomparably huge wealth when he founded the famous domestic communication software QQ. It was also last year that Ma Huateng almost sold the later famous QQ to others at a price of only one million, but people thought it was expensive and only bid 600,000 yuan. And in the next few years. The person who thought it was a million expensive at the beginning may regret it. Tencent in the first half of 1999. Because QQ was not sold, and the number of free users grew rapidly, the company's operating costs are getting bigger and bigger, like a bottomless pit, making the whole company enter a harsh winter, Ma Huateng tried to raise money everywhere, he whimsically wanted to use the "number of registered users" as collateral to obtain bank loans, the result was of course turned away, and he negotiated with domestic investors, but the other party was concerned about his company's fixed assets, obviously not enough understanding of the nascent Internet industry. In the second half of 1999, the Internet industry began to "feverish" from the United States to China Seeing this, Ma Huateng took the change of six versions, more than 20 pages of business plans began to look for foreign venture capital, but things were much more difficult than he imagined, round after round of negotiations made him dry, burning his eyebrows, and became more and more worried about the development of his company, in the original history, in November this year, the funds on the books of Tengxun Company were only more than 10,000 yuan. It can be said that at this time, Tencent and Ma Huateng are at the lowest ebb, if someone waives a check at this time and gives him a huge amount of venture capital, it is undoubtedly a relief in the snow, saving him and his company in danger.
Therefore, in case there are many dreams at night, in mid-October, Chen Feng contacted the contact information on Tencent's website, and after transferring a few phone calls as an investor, he contacted Ma Huateng himself. As soon as he heard that Chen Feng was willing to invest $3 million in their company, Ma Huateng's first reaction was, of course, that this person's prank was to deliberately entertain him, but then Chen Feng chatted with him about his views on QQ, and the direction it should develop in the future, and faintly mentioned its future profitability. This couldn't help but make Ma Huateng look at Chen Feng with admiration. With an attitude that it is better to believe what is true. Ma Huateng agreed to meet with him and discuss in person.
So, taking advantage of the two-day rest day on Saturday and Sunday, I took my father, brought red leaves, Huang Yong and Li Qiangguo, and flew to Shenzhen together and began to send charcoal to Comrade Ma Huateng.
Ma Huateng met them in the company's conference room. When I saw that they were also carrying two junior high school students, it seemed that there was more tourism than investment and negotiation. Ma Huateng was suddenly disappointed in his heart. However, since people have come from afar, we must listen to what they have to say.
Ma Huateng thought that Chen Dayong, who was at the head, was the investor who contacted him by phone, but Chen Feng's first words made his originally cold heart fall to the bottom.
"Hello, Brother Ma, I am Chen Feng who contacted you on the phone yesterday. ”
Chen Feng introduced himself to him. He took the initiative to stretch out his hand. But Ma Huateng was still in shock at this time. This handsome young man in front of him is the investor who vowed to invest three million dollars in him yesterday?
Ma Huateng suddenly had a feeling of being deceived and humiliated, so he didn't shake Chen Feng's hand, these days, his mood was already irritable enough, and now there is a teenager to entertain him, and he still believes him, his anger can be imagined.
"You are Chen Feng, you told me yesterday that you would invest three million dollars in our company?" Ma Huateng deliberately accentuated the tone of the word dollar.
Chen Feng certainly understood Ma Huateng's mood at this time. He smiled disapprovingly, withdrew his outstretched hand, nodded and said, "Yes, you may think I'm joking, but I'm serious." You don't have to doubt that I have this ability, even though I am still a minor, my father is here. He was fully supportive of my investment plan. Forgot to introduce. He is my father, Chen Dayong. The general manager of Xingwang Group and Mall Group in Xiuzhou City, Donghai Province, and one of the directors of Guangzhou Fengmao Group, you don't have to doubt the sincerity of our visit this time. ”
Ma Huateng was stunned by a series of titles introduced by Chen Feng, he had not heard of the first two group companies in Donghai Province, but Guangzhou Fengmao Group, a large multinational trading group that started as an electronic trade, he was like thunder, after all, Shenzhen and Guangzhou are not far apart.
"Hello!" Chen Dayong stepped forward with a very casual attitude and took the initiative to shake Ma Huateng's hand, and said with a smile: "Just like my son said, he really came to invest this time." You don't know, my son likes to invest in your Internet companies. Like that Ding Lei in Guangzhou. and Zhang Chaoyang in Beijing, they all received investment from my son. ”
As an industry insider. Ma Huateng still heard a little about the news that there is a co-investor behind the scenes of Wangyi and Sohu, and when he heard Chen Dayong say this, he couldn't help but believe it, and his attitude couldn't help but ease a lot. Hurriedly instructed his subordinates, poured tea for a few people, and invited them to take a seat. However, Huang Yong and Li Qiangguo served as bodyguards, of course they refused to take their seats, and stood behind Chen Dayong and his son silently.
"By the way, Brother Ma, I forgot to introduce, this is my fiancée, Momiji. Red leaves, call Brother Ma quickly. Chen Feng introduced it very casually.
"Brother Ma is good!" Momiji called sweetly.
Ma Huateng began to notice the beauty of the girl Hongye, and was very useful to her when she shouted like this, although she was a little curious that the two were engaged at such a young age, but of course they didn't ask more, and hurriedly nodded and smiled at Hongye.
"Brother Ma, let's get to the point, I can only stay in Shenzhen for one day at most, and I have to rush back before tomorrow, because I have to go to school on Monday. ”
Hearing Chen Feng say this, countless black lines suddenly appeared on Ma Huateng's forehead. He used to negotiate for several months in order to obtain venture capital, but he couldn't negotiate it for months, and the young man in front of him actually wanted to negotiate it in one day, which really made him laugh and cry.
I only heard Chen Feng continue: "Let's make a long story short, my conditions are actually very simple, I will contribute 3 million US dollars, accounting for 60% of the shares of your company, but I promise that I will never interfere with the specific operation of the company, and guarantee your leadership of the company, unless there is a serious mistake that leads to a huge loss of the company, I will definitely not dismiss you as a major shareholder." What do you think? Okay, let's talk to a lawyer today to discuss the details of the contract. ”
Ma Huateng was stunned when he heard this, and thought: It's that simple?
"You're not here to make me happy, are you? It's as simple as that?" Ma Huateng said unconvinced.
Chen Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes and said: "Brother Ma, I won't take a plane from Donghai Province to find happiness! ”
"Mr. Ma, don't worry, my son has no intention of joking with you. My son and I are both straightforward people, and my son said that this share ratio is already the lowest price in his heart, if you think it is appropriate, we will find a lawyer today, and guarantee that the money will arrive within the specified time. If not, we'll leave right away. "If Chen Dayong hadn't had his son come over this time, he would have resolutely not wanted to come, and he hadn't been busy with a lot of things in his company these days? Of course, he wanted to solve the problem quickly.
Seeing that Chen Dayong also said this, Ma Huateng began to believe that Chen Feng was not talking nonsense. In fact, according to his negotiations with foreign venture capitalists, his price is obviously much higher than that of foreign countries in proportion to shares, thinking of the difficult faces of foreign venture capitalists, as well as Chen Feng's sincere eyes in front of him, Ma Huateng drank several sips of water in a row, made up his mind, and said: "Okay." We will find a lawyer now, and the main content of the contract will be as you just said, and the details will be discussed after the arrival of the lawyers of both parties. ”
"Okay! Brother Ma is really happy. Seeing this, Chen Feng immediately asked his father to contact Xu Guodong and asked him to find a good lawyer for him in Shenzhen.
Half an hour later, Zhang Zhendong, a lawyer with a high reputation in the city, arrived, earlier than the lawyer on Tengxun's side.
