Chapter 1070: Crazy Planning and Fusion

readx;

Zhang Ke noticed that Lin Bing seemed to be quite close to Zhuo Yu's horsepower all night, and when Ling Xiaoyan came over, Zhang Ke pouted at Lin Bing and Ma Li and asked her, "When did they hook up?" ”

"It's so hard to hear what words come into your mouth," Ling Xiaoyan said with a smile, "I don't know anything about it, I just know that Lin Bing plans to go to Zhuo Yu after graduating from graduate school, and he is close to Zhuo Yu's boss for work, so it shouldn't be as dirty as you think, right?" ”

"The key is who is ......close to whom" Zhang Ke laughed, Wei Dongqiang left a desperate love letter and went away from a different place, it was too unfair to Lin Bing, Lin Bing was able to come out of Wei Dongqiang's shadow and open his heart to other men, which was also a good thing.

Lin Bing saw Zhang Ke smiling at her with bad intentions when he was talking to Ling Xiaoyan, he was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't leave Ma Gan there, but leaned over slightly, pretending to watch others order songs in front of the computer jukebox.

Ma Li felt that Lin Bing's demeanor was a little strange, and turned his head sideways to see Zhang Ke sitting there looking at this side laughing, so he sat down and spoke.

Zhang Ke is a legend in Tunghai University, quite mysterious, Ma Long has long heard of it, or after Chuangyu decided to invest in the e-commerce website they founded, he had the opportunity to contact Zhang Ke, a period of contact, in his impression, Zhang Ke's legend has not weakened, and the mystery has become stronger.

Chuangyu insiders are still relatively clear about Du Fei's family background, his mother is an ordinary middle school teacher, and his father is the deputy secretary of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee. Du Fei and Meng Le were originally able to get 10 million start-up funds from the Oak Park Venture Capital Fund, and many people were naturally associated with his family background, but the accounts were clearly scored, and some people could only complain that they could use social resources more smoothly if they didn't like it.

Oak Park Ventures' investment in the project of Du Fei and Meng Le has proved to be a very successful investment, in addition to recovering the initial investment principal, it also holds an additional 15% stake in Chuangyu, which is definitely not profitable.

Du Fei's entrepreneurial process, many people in this box today have participated in the sale of the Internet café business, Du Fei, who owns 60% of the equity of Chuangyu, even if he only counts his net worth, is really stepping into the ranks of billionaires.

At Tunghai University, Xie Jiannan, the president of Kewang, and Wang Haisu, the president of Haisu Technology, are alumni with high prestige and whose deeds are often praised orally by Donghai students. Ma Li is not very familiar with Xie Jiannan, but is more familiar with Wang Haisu, when Wang Haisu was engaged in a leather bag company before, he had contact with him a few times, plus Haisu Technology is currently the largest investor in Zhuoyu's biggest competitor in e-commerce, 8818 online mall, he is still relatively clear about Wang Haisu's details.

Wang Haisu holds 6% of the corporate shares of Haisu Technology, a listed company, and in terms of market value, it can be regarded as having a net worth of hundreds of millions; However, there is a huge gap between the market value of the corporate stock market of the company that is prohibited from public trading and the real money, and in the eyes of Ma Li, the real value of the non-tradable corporate shares with a market value of 100 million yuan is far less than 350 million cash, and Meng Le, who holds at least 15% of the equity of Chuangyu, is more confident than Wang Haisu.

In Ma Li's view, Xie Jiannan and Wang Haisu, who are praised by everyone, even Du Fei and Meng Fei, who are the largest investors, are far inferior to Zhang Ke.

Whether it was Zhang Ke's participation in the planning of Zhuoyu e-commerce, or the temporary and substantial increase in the negotiation price three days ago and forced Haisu Technology to accept the conditions, these two performances are enough to give people a sense of amazement. Ma Li also noticed the fact that Zhang Ke did not hold any shares of Chuangyu Company, and suddenly made a very mindless decision for Du Fei at that time, and Du Fei did not have any intention of objecting, at least in Du Fei's eyes, he had long agreed with Zhang Ke's judgment in business - even if Zhang Ke's judgment was very different from Du Fei's own judgment, Du Fei still chose to listen to Zhang Ke's opinion, and did not feel that Zhang Ke's temporary intention was so abrupt.

Ma Neng established a book sales map covering major colleges and universities in Jianye during his undergraduate years, established Kewen Company, and linked book audio-visual sales with e-commerce after graduate school, and established Zhuoyu e-commerce website, whose ability and vision are outstanding, and it is natural to see that Zhang Ke's status is far more mysterious than ordinary people imagine, and it can also be seen that Zhang Ke's identity is in addition to his father as the mayor of Xinwu, in fact, he has a very close connection with Aida Group.

Twelve youth apartments, the first four are for the researchers of Oak Park, the last two are originally compensated to Tunghai University, as a young teacher apartment, and five in the middle are for the entrepreneurial entrepreneurs in the Oak Park Pioneer Park, Zhang Ke almost occupies a building alone, and the other people who can live in that building are all people who have direct contact with Zhang Ke.

Ma Li often followed Du Fei and Shi Xuebin in and out of that building, and now Du Fei sat in Yanyuan, the few luxury cars parked in the underground garage, pick any one, Ma Li felt that this was the long-term goal of his life, even if Du Fei sold the Internet café business to Haisu Technology this time, he was reluctant to buy two cars at the same time.

During this period of time, he had a lot of contact with Lin Bing, and he also heard a lot of things about Zhang Ke from Lin Bing, he didn't expect that Zhang Ke and Lin Bing had known each other for four or five years, let alone that Jiang Dai'er, who was regarded as the eternal flower of Dongda, could succeed and had a lot to do with Zhang Ke.

Ma Li also realized that Shi Xuebin, Dong Yuehua and these guys didn't open their eyes and couldn't see these clues, but they didn't explain their intentions, and it was useless to think too much, so they should just open their eyes and see nothing, and just get along casually.

"Chuangyu has money, Zhuoyu doesn't have to worry about funds for the development of e-commerce in the near future," Zhang Ke smiled and chatted with Ma Li, "Haisu Technology can restrict Chuangyu from entering the Internet café industry in the acquisition agreement, but it can't prohibit Chuangyu from increasing investment in Zhuoyu, but in my opinion, even if there are sufficient funds, there is no need to compete with 8818 for the first or second place for the time being......."

"The ranking of e-commerce sites first means more to them." Ma Li said with a smile.

"Well," Zhang Ke nodded and said with a smile, "They want to use the e-commerce concept of 8818 to raise their equity, and they can only play whatever they want." ”

The domestic securities market and the overseas securities market are very different in the rules of the game, although the classic real estate, Horizon Investment and other stocks behind the largest share of Haisu Technology, but they are held by non-tradable corporate shares that cannot be publicly listed and traded, even if the equity is speculated up 100 times and 1,000 times, they can not directly cash out by reducing the corporate shares.

Domestic listed companies can publicly issue new shares to raise funds from the stock market, but the total number of new shares issued each time is capped, and it is impossible to issue new shares without restrictions, so as to speculate on the stock price as much as possible, and the additional issuance of new shares can make more money.

The intentions of Yan Wenjie, Lin Xue and others hidden behind the scenes of Haisu Technology have been very obvious, taking advantage of the general trend of the new wave of science and technology, only a small amount of money is needed to put the concept of e-commerce and chain Internet cafes into the bag of Haisu Technology, and the equity of Haisu Technology can increase by ten times or twenty times.

When the equity is low, the issuance of 100 million new shares can only raise 3.5 billion yuan; The equity has increased tenfold, and the issuance of 100 million new shares can raise three or five billion funds, in Zhang Ke's view, Yan Wenjie and Lin Xue's ambitions are not enough.

There is no law that fully protects small and medium-sized investors in China, and how to spend the funds in the hands of listed companies is a matter for major shareholders to say.

At present, less than 50% of the assets of the software industrial park are directly under the listed company Haisu Technology, and the rest of the shares are scattered in the hands of companies such as Jingdian Real Estate and Horizon Construction; Only 30% of the shares of 8818 online mall are directly under the listed company Haisu Technology, and the rest of the shares are scattered in the hands of companies such as Jingdian Real Estate and Horizon Investment; Even if the time is ripe, Jingdian and Horizon can sell the software industrial park, the remaining shares of 8818 and the chain Internet café business in other places can be sold to Haisu Technology at a high price, and the huge amount of money in the listed company's account will be directly set out.

For Yan Wenjie and Lin Xue, this time is to do everything possible to speculate on the stock price of Haisu Technology, even if there is the concept of e-commerce, but the 8818 online mall will never be profitable in the short term, and the software industrial park has no profitability, like the chain Internet café business under Chuangyu, which has both the conceptual aura of new technology and strong profitability, which is definitely a weapon to speculate on the stock price.

As long as Lin Xue and Yan Wenjie are greedy, Zhang Ke is not afraid that they will not swallow this bait.

Of course, the listed company Haisu Technology itself does not have 300 million funds to implement the acquisition, and there is no public issuance of new shares, so it can only issue new shares to specific objects to raise 300 million acquisition funds, even if Haisu Technology has not issued an announcement, it is not difficult for Zhang Ke to think that the so-called specific objects are Horizon Real Estate, Jingclassic Real Estate.

This is their own game, others in order to avoid giving them no bones left, will not easily participate, and at this time the private placement of new shares, is to restrict circulation, but not to prohibit circulation, after a certain time limit (generally 12 months to 24 months in China) can be publicly listed and traded. If they still want to continue to speculate on the stock price of Haisu Technology, they can participate in the private placement at this time, and after the time limit has passed, they can also sell this part of the stock for profit.

This is their greedy plan, Zhang Ke thought to himself, there is no reason not to push them behind their backs, making them more greedy and crazy; Xie Jiannan was honest this time and did not participate.

Kumho is prosperous, Yan Wenjie came to Jianye, he was somewhat reluctant, and after rushing to Jianye, he still met with Xiao Mingjian and Hu Zongqing first, and then went to the software industrial park to discuss with Lin Xue and Wang Haisu.

Zhang Ke suddenly intervened in the negotiations between Haisu Technology and Chuangyu three days ago, raised the price to 300 million, and asked Wang Haisu to bring a message to them, Yan Wenjie subconsciously thought that Zhang Ke had already peeked into their intentions, of course, everyone is using the rules to play games, and Yan Wenjie is not afraid that Zhang Ke will dare to pit himself.

Behind Kumho stand the Ye family and the Gu family, and Xu Xueping and the local officials of the East China Sea stand, and the backers behind Hongxin are not necessarily worse than Kumho, even in Jianye, with Hu Zongqing and Xiao Mingjian helping Hongxin to keep an eye on, they are not afraid of Kumho playing any small actions.

gave a glimpse of the intention, in Yan Wenjie's opinion, the only disadvantage is that he has to accept Zhang Ke's somewhat ridiculously high offer, in his eyes, 300 million can still be tolerated - Zhang Ke is sure that he can endure this offer......

The Jianye Internet café industry is developing rapidly, with the number of switchboards reaching 40,000 units, and Chuangyu's directly operated Internet cafes and franchise chains account for 30% of the market share.

At present, the average price-earnings ratio of the stock prices of listed companies with new technology themes in Shanghai and Shenzhen is about 40 times, and the market value of the securitization of the Internet café business can reach one billion. As long as the Chuangyu Internet café business is placed in Haisu Technology, the market value of Haisu Technology can increase by one billion on the basis of the current 1.8 billion, and it is not unbearable to pay 300 million yuan for the acquisition of Chuangyu.

Of course, it is not enough to directly use funds to enter the stock market operation and speculate the stock price of Haisu Technology by 50%, and it is certainly not necessary to have 300 million, or even one-third of the funds, but there is no basis for speculating on the stock price purely in the form of funds sitting in the bank, and it is impossible to maintain a high stock price for a long time.

The acquisition of Chuangyu's Internet café business is mainly to lay a firmer foundation for Haisu Technology, and his goal is far more than just speculating on the stock price of Haisu Technology by another 50%.

Although the number of switchboards in Jianye City's Internet café industry has reached 40,000 units, it is still far from meeting its needs for this central city with a population of 5 million, and the research institutions under Horizon believe that Jianye City's economic, cultural and economic structure is more advantageous than Wenzhou, and the number of switchboards in Jianye City's Internet café industry can only be saturated when it reaches 200,000 units, that is to say, there is still room for the development of 160,000 machines.

Chuangyu's Internet café assets have developed to today's scale, and only 30 million funds have been used before and after, forming a stable profit with an annual income of 25 million.

Yan Wenjie plans to invest another 200 million yuan, which is enough to increase the number of directly operated Internet cafes to 20,000 and the number of franchised Internet cafes to 40,000, and the annual revenue will reach 150 million or more.

According to the 40 times P/E ratio plan, the market value of asset securitization with an annual net income of 150 million yuan can reach 6 billion or even higher, and it can easily push the stock price of Haisu Technology up more than five times on the current basis.

At that time, new shares will be issued in accordance with the proportion of 30%, which can easily bring more than 3 billion yuan of capital income.

Horizon and Jingdian now only need to participate in the private placement of Haisu Technology, to provide 500 million (300 million acquisition funds, 200 million development funds) for this plan, maybe not a year, they can control at least 3 billion cash through Haisu Technology, and also have a market value of about 2.5 billion stocks, when the shares will be cashed out, before and after almost four or five billion funds can be cashed out.

Of course, if the popularity of new technology themes continues to heat up, and the price-to-earnings ratio of new technology concept asset securitization can be higher, reaching 60 times, 80 times or even 100 times, it is not an amazing thing, then the amount of funds that can be withdrawn from the securities market by implementing this plan will be even larger, so huge that it is shocking.

Yan Wenjie has always felt that the stock market is really a good hunting ground, the key is to be qualified and have the strength to manipulate the rules of the game, he stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the Jinhai Hotel in front of the villa.

The four-star Jinhai Hotel is a supporting commercial project of the software industrial park, and the villa building where Yan Wenjie is now is developed by the software industrial park in the name of developing a comprehensive conference and office space in the software park, but dozens of villas near the lake are bought by private companies in the name of software companies for private residence, and the layout of the villa area is completely a private residential layout, and Yan Wenjie's villa here occupies an area of more than one acre.

The main business of the software industrial park is to develop the software industry, which is really not very good, but selling dog meat with a sheep's head, and selling high-end villas at a high price in the name of developing comprehensive conferences and office spaces, it is a hard profit, after all, the municipal government allocated this large piece of high-quality land to Haisu Science and Technology Development Software Industrial Park almost free of charge; The same is true for Jinhai Hotel, which is a supporting project of the software industrial park and is completely operated as a commercial hotel at this time.

Haisu Technology's software industrial parks in Jinshan and Wenzhou are almost all in the form of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, although it has also attracted some software companies to fill the park, but the number and scale are extremely limited.

Yan Wenjie turned around and said to Lin Xue, who was sitting on the sofa with her legs folded: "Although the scale of this private placement financing is only 500 million, but to really implement this plan, the actual funds used are far more than 500 million, and the actual excess operating funds are all provided by us, and you will take out 200 million to account for 40%, I can't explain it when I go back......

"What's so hard to explain," Lin Xue swapped her overlapping legs up and down, and the skirt swam to the knees for more than ten centimeters, and when she changed her legs, her snow-white thighs would be exposed more, but Lin Xue didn't expect her beauty to confuse Yan Wenjie, at most, everyone fought a friendship cannon, "You also started the Internet café industry in Wenzhou, at that time, you can let Haisu Technology buy your Internet café assets in Wenzhou at a high price, and I can still talk to your Yan family?" Besides, your funds are driving up the stock price in the stock market, and I don't believe there is no additional income......"

On September 8, Haisu Technology, a listed company, announced that it would convene an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to deliberate and approve the private placement of new shares to major shareholders Horizon Investment and Jingdian Real Estate to raise 500 million funds to acquire and develop Chuangyu's Internet café business.

Haisu Technology will not re-trade until the extraordinary shareholders' meeting is held, but this announcement has made the media and the public focus on Chuangyu, and the biggest sensation is within Tunghai University.

Due to the vague information of Haisu Technology's announcement, most people thought that Haisu Technology would acquire the Internet café assets of Chuangyu at a price of 500 million, and there were also discussions within Tunghai University, ordinary students did not pay much attention to the securities and stock market, and the faculty and staff basically spread it all over, especially the faculty and staff of the National Academy of Commerce, many people remembered Du Fei and Meng Le studying in his class, they couldn't find Du Fei and Meng Le, and when they met Qin Gang, they were able to arrest Qin Gang and ask for details.

At this time, there is no need to hide the news from the outside world, Qin Gang explained that the purchase price is 300 million, and the additional 200 million raised by Haisu Technology is for the development of Internet café business after the acquisition.

Even if it is only 300 million, it is enough to make the young teachers of the State Academy of Commerce stunned, think about their salary this year, the monthly salary plus the post allowance is 1,000 yuan, although it is much better than the previous two years, but now look at others, I am really greedy to bite my tongue off, think about Qin Gang's broken appearance two years ago, now it is simply soaring.

Although Qin Gang is still famous in the National Chamber of Commerce, he no longer cares about anything in the courtyard, his energy and time are limited, and he doesn't care about the sour tone of his former colleagues, if you want to talk about opportunities, Wei Dongqiang should have better opportunities than himself at the beginning, and now no one knows Wei Dongqiang's whereabouts after leaving, and they don't know whether he is good or bad.

Qin Gang has been running very diligently to the school these days.

According to the agreement with Haisu Technology, some intangible assets, including the "Chuangyu" trademark, will also be separated, and the senior management here will be banned from entering the Internet café industry for two years; In addition, the name of the investment company can no longer use the word "Chuangyu" and needs to be renamed.

Everyone thinks that it is good to use "Dongda Chuangyu" as the name of the investment company, but "Dongda Chuangyu" was originally used to establish a computer network training school in the name of Dongda, and Dongda also holds 30% of the shares in Dongda Chuangyu, and the investment company needs to communicate with the school if it wants to use "Dongda Chuangyu" as the company name.

After the sale of the Internet café assets, there are abundant funds, and if you want to expand the training business, the space provided by the Dongda Resource Building is not enough, and these things also need to be communicated with the school.

Qin Gang is almost in charge of these things now, there are a lot of things, and he has to ask questions to the teachers in the school, Qin Gang is really helpless in his heart, and he can't show any impatience, otherwise he will wait to poke someone in the back.

The mobile phone rang, and Qin Gang took out the mobile phone from his trouser pocket, which was Du Fei's phone.

"You come to the World Championship Building at the south gate of the school, and I will discuss with you if you have something......

The World Kimho Building is the headquarters building of the Century Kumho Real Estate Group located in the east of the Pioneer Park, and the Kumho Economic Research Center, where President Cui Guoheng is also the director, is also in the Shijin Building, but Qin Gang still does not know why the Kumho Economic Research Center, funded by the Century Kumho Real Estate Group, was established, and does the real estate group need to set up a professional high-standard industrial research center?

Qin Gang didn't know where Du Fei was going to discuss something, so he rode his bicycle to the south gate of the school without saying a word.

There are two sedans in Dongda Chuangyu, a new imported Passat and a domestic Santana, but it is convenient to ride a bicycle to run errands in school.

Qin Gang rushed to the World Championship Building, took the elevator to the conference room on the twelfth floor, and found that Ling Xiaoyan, Xi Ruolin, Shi Xuebin, Shi Xinfei, Dong Yuehua and others were there, Du Fei and Meng Le were nowhere to be found, and asked Ling Xiaoyan: "What about Du Feiren, what is he looking for us to do here?" We don't have a place where we don't have meetings. ”

Even if Ling Xiaoyan could guess something, she could only spread her hands and ask Qin Gang to wait patiently.

After a while, Du Fei and Meng Le didn't know where they came from, each holding a bunch of folders, Ye Xiaotong walked in with a big belly, talking to Zhang Ke, she sat down with her stomach up, took the stack of documents in Zhang Ke's hand and put it on the table and flipped it, and handed the top stack of papers to Du Fei: "You let them sign the confidentiality agreement first, and other things will be talked about later......"

Qin Gang looked at the confidentiality agreement, he needed to keep the documents disclosed today, the file names were listed on the agreement, Qin Gang was a little frightened when he saw the long file names.

Summary of the Financial Structure of Assets and Equity of Shin Kong Paper Group Corporation and its Subsidiaries

Summary of the Financial Structure of Assets and Equity of Shin Kong Forestry Group Corporation and its Subsidiaries

AIDA Group & AIDA Electronics ......

Shengxin Electric ......

Shengxin Telecom ......

"Century Kumho Dining & Entertainment ......"

"Century Kumho Real Estate Group ......"

"Everest Construction Group ......"

Kumho Shoji ......

"Fragrant Snow Sea ......"

……

The companies mentioned in the list of file names are all heart-wrenching, and the most heart-wrenching thing is undoubtedly to write these company names together.

Qin Gang looked at Zhang Ke and Du Fei sitting in front of him in surprise, and saw Meng Le also stilting Erlang's legs calmly, presumably he had already read these documents, Xi Ruolin and Ling Xiaoyan were seriously looking at the confidentiality agreement, their expressions were quite calm, they must have known some things, they were not so surprised, Shi Xuebin, Dong Yuehua, and Shi Xinfei's expressions were even more exaggerated.

Shi Xuebin asked, "These columns of documents can't all be true, right?" Even if you fool me today, it won't make any sense. ”

"You kid talks a lot of nonsense, can you still be sold if you sign it?" Du Fei took out a folder and was about to smash it at Shi Xuebin, "The documents you see today are all core trade secrets......

"Why do you want to give these trade secrets to us, I'm afraid that after reading something that shouldn't be seen, I will be killed." Shi Xuebin nagged, and when he saw that Du Fei was really about to smash the folder, he quickly lowered his head and signed it.

"Zhao Zilin can't take the time to come over, I'll explain some situations," Ye Xiaotong said with a big belly, "Oak Park Venture Capital Fund is set up by Aida Group, and now it still holds 15% of your equity in Chuangyu, according to the rules of Oak Park Venture Capital, you should consider completely withdrawing from Chuangyu - 15% of the equity is not to be bought back by yourself, but by Aida Group and its subsidiaries and affiliates...... ”

"It changes hands, we don't seem to need to know this?" Shi Xuebin asked hesitantly.

"The little friend is really impatient," Ye Xiaotong raised his eyebrows and said, "I haven't finished my words yet, let you read these documents, is it agreed that Chuangyu will hold shares in the opposite direction of Aida Group and affiliated enterprises, and Chuangyu will not have 260 million cash left after tax deduction?" Does Chuangyu want to keep this cash in the bank for interest? ”

"After reading these documents, can I know that the boss of Aida Group is Zhang Ke or someone from the Zhang family?" Shi Xuebin couldn't help but ask, "You know, I've been tormented by this question for a long time." ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, these documents are not classified enough, whether they can answer your questions depends on whether someone is happy or not." Ye Xiaotong said.

Zhang Ke stood aside, smiling silently.

"After reading these documents, you can at least have a general understanding of the scale of Kumho, the largest private enterprise in the East China Sea, and I have also discussed with Meng Le, we will also completely integrate into the Kumho system this time and become a member of the Kumho system, because you are all equity holders of Chuangyu, so you all have the right to choose......" Du Fei stood up and handed these folders to everyone to circulate to each other.

Zhang Ke sat there yawning on Erlang's feet, he didn't want to come over, so he pulled Du Fei over, Meng Le and Xi Ruolin are going back to the United States tomorrow, and they still have to eat together in the evening.

In addition to the cross-shareholding of Chuangyu and other members of the Kumho System, Du Fei and Meng Le's direct shareholding in Chuangyu will also decrease, but they can choose to hold the same value of equity of other members of the Kumho System for exchange.

Qin Gang held a summary of Xinguang Forestry's assets and equity structure in his hand, he didn't think that Xinguang Forestry had anything to do with Oak Garden, and saw that Xinguang Forestry's nuclear assets summary wrote that Xinguang Forestry had built eight to eleven years of fast-growing forests in the East China Sea and Jiangnan, with an area of up to 4.6 million mu, with a total investment of up to 2.1 billion, and these fast-growing forests still needed to continue to invest about 1.2 billion yuan before the rotation period...... He was anxious to see what was in the other folders.

Before, he, like many people, was eager to know who the asset scale and wealth behind the Aida Group were, the folder was in Dong Yuehua's hand, and Shi Xuebin and Ling Xiaoyan, who were sitting next to him, both leaned their heads over to look at the document, Shi Xuebin looked at it, and let out a soft cry in his mouth: "This is simply robbery, and there is no such way to make money, it's too unreasonable...... Can I exchange all the shares of Chuangyu for AIDA's? If I go to work for AIDA, can I get an option for AIDA? ”
