Chapter 172: Not optimistic
When Chen Haipeng called just now, it was hands-free, and all the people in the conference room heard the quote given by Sun Zhengyi, and for a while, everyone's eyes were fixed on the faces of Li Zhengqing and the other three, even their own staff. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Brother Chen, if the price is not suitable, we can negotiate. This meeting is also a good start, and you don't need to decide right away," Li Zhengqing was embarrassed in his heart, still pretending to be nothing, and said with a smile.
"I don't know what the price in your heart is, Mr. Chen?" Tan Haifeng coughed lightly, knocked on the table, and asked.
Chen Haipeng looked at Wang Qiang, and Wang Qiang said: "Mr. Chen is very optimistic about the future development of Tencent, and he originally did not plan to sell his shares. However, since we plan to acquire it for reasons of national security, we will not forcibly refuse, as long as the price you give is higher than that of SoftBank Group, the initial offer given by SoftBank will cost $1 billion, and you will have to give $1.5 billion anyway."
Knowing that he couldn't do anything, Wang Qiang would not continue to be reluctant, blaming himself for not having a strong strength and background to keep these shares. If there is strength and background, Wang Qiang will not make a move at all.
"From 800 million to more than 1.5 billion, this span is a bit large. We have to go back to this matter and communicate with the above," Tan Haifeng said.
Later, the two sides exchanged views again and basically reached a consensus. The two parties agreed to the equity transfer, but the specific price needs to be communicated again.
At this time, Wang Qiang suddenly said to Li Zhengqing: "Mr. Li, Mr. Chen still has some shares of Alibaba in his hands, I wonder if your MIH Group is interested in taking over?"
When Li Zhengqing heard this, he looked at Chen Haipeng, only to see that Chen Haipeng also looked at Wang Qiang in surprise, obviously not knowing that Wang Qiang would suddenly say this.
Li Zhengqing was a little curious about Wang Qiang and asking himself this question without communicating with his employer Chen Haipeng. But seeing that Chen Haipeng didn't blame, he thought about it and said, "Not yet."
Chen Haipeng knew that Wang Qiang asked Li Zhengqing this question, and there must be a reason, so he didn't speak. Chen Haipeng plans to ask Wang Qiang again after returning to the hotel.
"Oh, I don't know what the reason is?" Wang Qiang asked, still ignoring the thoughts of others.
Li Zhengqing glanced at Chen Haipeng and said: "The e-commerce industry is a new field for our country. There are many existing e-commerce platforms, and the competition is fierce, and many of them are not profitable. The situation is still unclear, and our group does not plan to invest until it has formed a scale and found a profit model."
Speaking of investment, Li Zhengqing's eyes were determined, and his expression was calm and the image just now was like two people.
Hearing what he wanted to know, Wang Qiang didn't ask any other questions.
The deal was not reached, but there was a direction after all, and the two sides broke up after a few more talks, and the whole meeting seemed a bit anticlimactic.
When leaving the Sheraton Hotel, because Xu Jiahao and they were also leaving, they planned to leave with Chen Haipeng.
In the corridor to the elevator, Xu Jiahao asked Chen Haipeng: "Mr. Chen, why didn't you bring Wang Qiang when you came over today?"
"Wang Qiang, he played his own game. Besides, on this occasion today, it is a little inappropriate for him to come."
Tan Haifeng, Li Zhengqing and Xu Jijin sent Chen Haipeng downstairs together.
Hearing the 'Wang Qiang' in Xu Jiahao's mouth, Tan Haifeng's expression moved, and he stepped forward and said, "Mr. Chen, who is Wang Qiang that Xu Dong said?"
In today's negotiations, Chen Haipeng had different views on the other side. Xu Jinji looked smiling, but he was a smiling tiger, and he wanted to threaten himself to accept their offer. Li Zhengqing only thinks about getting the shares in his hands at the lowest price, and he has no ethics of an international investor at all. Only Tan Haifeng doesn't talk much, but he can say the key point every time, and he is bright and bright, and he never hides his intentions.
Therefore, although Chen Haipeng does not have a good impression of Tan Haifeng, he has a much better impression than the other two.
"Wang Qiang is my nephew, and he came to the SAR with me this time during the National Day holiday. It's just that this kid knows how to play, and every day he carries a backpack to travel to various scenic spots in the Special Economic Zone," Chen Haipeng said.
Hearing Chen Haipeng's introduction, Tan Haifeng felt that Chen Haipeng's nephew should be the person he was looking for, and asked casually: "Mr. Chen's nephew should still be a student, I don't know if you have been to Happy Valley to play in the past few days?"
Although he didn't know why Tan Haifeng was interested in Wang Qiang, Chen Haipeng still replied truthfully: "I'm in high school, and I just went there two days ago." When I came back, I told me that there were too many people, and I would never join in this kind of excitement again."
Knowing what he wanted to know, Tan Haifeng didn't say anything more.
Wang Qiang listened to his uncle Chen Haipeng talking about himself with others, and he always felt a little weird. Regarding Tan Haifeng's questioning, Wang Qiang didn't think much about it.
Out of the hotel, Wang Qiang stepped forward and said to Chen Haipeng: "Mr. Chen, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Chen Haipeng knew that Wang Qiang wanted to go separately from him, so as not to be recognized, nodded and said, "You go first, if there is anything, we will contact you."
Wang Qiang nodded, said hello to the others, and turned around and left.
Wang Qiang drove away, first went to the car rental company to return the car, and then found a restaurant on the side of the road to solve his stomach problem.
By the time I returned to the Charlton Hotel, my uncle Chen Haipeng had already returned, sitting on the sofa watching TV.
"Uncle, there is no dinner today?" Wang Qiang stepped forward and sat on the sofa not far away and asked.
"How could it not be" Chen Haipeng said: "I just finished having dinner with Ma Huateng, and he suggested that we accept the acquisition of MIH Group"
Wang Qiang picked up an apple from the fruit bowl on the coffee table and threw it: "Expected"
"How do you say that?" Chen Haipeng asked.
"Compared to us, MIH Group is backed by the state and has a lot of connections with the government. It can be seen from Tan Haifeng and Xu Jijin who came here today that they have a lot of relationships with the relevant departments of the state and the Internet. If I were Ma Huateng, I would also choose such a person with a background as a partner, which would be more convenient for Tencent. Not to mention, MIH Group is also wealthy, as long as this acquisition is successful, it can virtually raise the market value of Tencent, and it can make more money after listing," Wang Qiang said.
"Tencent's shares can't be saved?" Chen Haipeng looked at Wang Qiang with some unwillingness and asked.
"It is estimated that this time it is suspended, there is still no strong strength, otherwise it would be good to wait until Tencent's stock is listed and the market value is trillions," Wang Qiang sighed.
Once again, he was depressed that he didn't have great strength.
"Are you so optimistic about Tencent's prospects?" Chen asked.
For Chen Haipeng, 1.5 billion US dollars has long exceeded his expectations. If you don't know that you have always believed in Wang Qiang, as early as a few years ago, Chen Haipeng had already cashed out his shares.
Now hearing that Wang Qiang's future valuation of Tencent is over one trillion yuan, although Chen Haipeng still believes in Wang Qiang's judgment, he can't convince himself.
"Well, with the growth of our generation and the popularization of computers, there will be more and more netizens in China, and if everyone has a QQ number, how big a market it should be. When the time comes, Tencent will be able to promote a message on QQ for hundreds of millions of people to see. Uncle, can you imagine that situation?" said Wang Qiang.
Chen Haipeng thought for a while, nodded and said: "If Tencent can really reach this level, it is more likely that the market value will exceed one trillion yuan."
"Forget it, since you can't keep Tencent's shares, don't worry about it anymore. Let's see if we can buy some of their shares after Tencent goes public," Chen Haipeng comforted Wang Qiang. Of course, there is also an element of self-soothing in this.
"That's all it can be," Wang Qiang sighed and said.
"By the way, Wang Qiang, what do you mean today when you suddenly asked Li Zhengqing if you want to buy Ali's shares?" Chen Haipeng asked.
"I want to see what these international consortia think of Ali's prospects," Wang Qiang said with a smile, "I didn't expect them to be optimistic about Ali's prospects." In that way, we can do a lot of things."
