Chapter 278: Holding Jinshan
"Mr. Raymond, how many shares of Kingsoft are now acquired and acquired?"
It was already dark after eating with Lei Jun again, but it was daytime in the United States, so Li Haoyu directly called Raymond, the angel investor recommended by Roman.
Lei Meng said on the phone: "Li, now I have acquired most of the shares of Kingsoft in circulation, and the rest are in the hands of some retail investors or investment institutions. I happen to know the owner of an investment company that owns 5% Kingsoft in his hands, and I have made an appointment with him to meet him. If nothing else, the 5% stake should be able to be sold at a slightly higher price than the market price. ”
Li Haoyu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Raymond, after the acquisition of this 5% share, there is no need to acquire the shares of Kingsoft for the time being, and I will do my best to acquire the shares of Huanju Times." ”
Mythical Group originally owned 5% of Kingsoft Software, and now Lei Meng has won 20 shares, plus Lei Jun intends to let Li Haoyu increase his holdings of Jinshan by 25%, Li Haoyu will add up to 50% of the shares, and when the time comes to negotiate with Lei Jun, he will need 1% more shares to complete the absolute control of Kingsoft.
Raymond hesitated for a moment and said, "Li, it's a bit difficult to temporarily acquire the shares of Huanju Times, and my acquisition has already attracted the attention of this company. They are already paying attention to this matter, and they are monitoring the situation of the outstanding shares in real time, and it is very difficult to buy the shares of Huanju Times without attracting their attention. ”
Li Haoyu frowned, he entrusted Lei Meng to secretly acquire the shares of Huanju Times because he heard that his fellow Li Xueling had a very strong desire to control the company, if it weren't for YY to expand his market share a few years ago, he would not have let Lei Jun become a shareholder, and before he became a shareholder, he explained that Lei Jun was not allowed to participate in the operation of Huanju Times.
Two years ago, Li Haoyu had just bought the shares of Huanju Times from Lei Jun, and he had also gone to Yangcheng to meet with the senior management of Huanju Times.
Li Haoyu now owns 20.7% of the shares of Huanju Times, and Lehman has now acquired 7% of the shares, which is already the largest shareholder of Huanju Times, and it is customary to convene a board of directors to request the re-election of the chairman and president. It's just that Li Xueling, the founder of the Huanju era, single-handedly brought the Huanju era to the leading position of today's voice communication software, he has a very high prestige in the Huanju era, and it is more difficult to let him stay in the Huanju era to work in the Huanju era.
"Mr. Raymond, if you buy another 3% of the shares of Huanju Times, you can stop for the time being, if there is any good opportunity, you can make your own decisions, and you can take as many shares as you can." Li Haoyu thought about it for a while, but decided to suspend the secret acquisition of Huanju Era, lest Li Xueling and them make any trouble.
Raymond smiled and said: "No problem, the customer's demand is the rest assured of our actions, Li You can rest assured, I will definitely give you these two companies to become your bag." ”
After chatting with Raymond for a few more words, Li Haoyu felt very comfortable when he hung up the phone, and he was really happy when he thought that Kingsoft and Huanju Times were going to become their own subsidiaries.
In the next two days, Li Haoyu delayed time with various excuses, wearing down Lei Jun's patience, and Lei Jun could only stay in Shancheng and wait for Li Haoyu's answer to increase his holdings of Jinshan shares.
Seeing that Lei Jun's patience was almost exhausted, Li Haoyu invited Lei Jun to start the second negotiation.
"Dong Li, how did you think about it?" Lei Jun asked directly and straight to the point.
Li Haoyu smiled and said: "Lei Dong, after discussion, the senior management of our company unanimously agreed to increase the stake in Kingsoft Software, but we require that the additional stake be increased to 26% this time, instead of 25% as you said." ”
"No problem, 26% is 26%, when will we start signing the contract?"
Lei Jun wondered in his heart how Li Haoyu thought of asking for an extra 1% of the shares, but he didn't think much about it, no matter how he thought about it, he didn't think that Li Haoyu could absolutely control Kingsoft with more than 1% of the shares.
Li Haoyu said: "You can sign a contract at any time, as long as you draw up a contract, you can sign it." ”
Lei Jun was overjoyed when he heard this: "Then I'll go and print out the contract." As he spoke, he instructed a staff member of Kingsoft that he had brought with him to print the contract.
After a short time, the staff member came back with three document bags, Li Haoyu took a contract and looked at it carefully, and then asked Xiaoyu to help see if there were any loopholes. After watching for half an hour, Li Haoyu stopped, raised his head, and said: "Lei Dong, do you think this will work, you also know that the funds of our Mythical Group are relatively tight at present, can we pay these payments in two installments?" ”
The corners of Lei Jun's mouth twitched, he couldn't help but have the urge to squash Li Haoyu madly, can't this guy make it clear at one time?
"Li Dong, you can pay off the money in two installments, the first payment shall not be less than 300 million yuan, and the remaining funds will have to be paid off at one time in half a year at most, if Li Dong feels that there is no problem, then we will sign." Lei Jun finally endured the impulse in his heart.
Li Haoyu saw that there were no loopholes in the contract, so he signed three contracts very happily, one of these three contracts, one for Mythical Group and Kingsoft Software, and the other had to be handed over to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau for archiving.
Lei Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and this year, Jinshan and 360, Ruixing and other security manufacturers competed with each other for the share of the security market.
"Lei Dong, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not." Li Haoyu said after the signing was completed.
Lei Jun smiled and said: "Dong Li, now that we are not outsiders, if we have anything to say, just say it, as long as it is right, I will definitely adopt it." ”
Li Haoyu said: "Lei Dong, what do you think the share of Kingsoft security market will fall again and again in the past two years?" ”
Lei Jun's face was solemn, and after a while, he said: "We Jinshan did it too late in terms of free, so that 360 took the lead, 3 and there is a lack of funds to make the version update of our Kingsoft Guardian and Kingsoft Poison Tyrant slow, and the collection of virus databases is also more difficult than other security companies." ”
Speaking of 360, Lei Jun is angry, Zhou Hongyi does not forget to compete with despicable means at all times, like what is blocking the information of competitors in the 360 browser, saying that competitors maliciously obtain users' private information......
The most annoying thing is that 360 has been sued by many companies more than 20 times in recent years, and each time it has lost the lawsuit, which is a typical example of "repeated defeats and repeated battles". It's just that 360 lost the lawsuit, not only did not reflect on what he did, but intensified it more and more, and after a long time, he was controlled by other companies or accused of bidding farewell to the company, but Jinshan has already sued 360 five or six times.
When encountering such an almost rogue company, Lei Jun was of course very angry when he thought about it.
Li Haoyu nodded and said: "Lei Dong, you are indeed reasonable, in my opinion, if a security software wants to gain a foothold in the market, in addition to its own basic skills, in addition to its own basic skills, what will ultimately leave users with is nothing more than the low resource occupancy rate of security software, the appearance of colorful skin, the most important thing is that it is simple and easy to use, if it can be operated foolishly, it would be the best." ”
Lei Jun was thoughtful.
Li Haoyu continued: "A few days ago, I also deliberately downloaded Kingsoft Safety and Health and Kingsoft Poison Bully, and found that the strength of Kingsoft's security products is not worse than that of other companies, but it is the worst among several companies in terms of user experience. For example, the skin of Jinshan Guard, after so many years, there are still so many skins, and players have to download what tools to make custom skins, which makes many beauty lovers make up their minds to give up Jinshan Guard. If it's me, you can put more than a dozen templates, and players can freely choose these templates, and the skins can upload pictures themselves. There is also a lot of overlap between Kingsoft Guardian and Kingsoft Poison, the best way is to simplify these functions, what players want is nothing more than antivirus, garbage cleaning and other functions, integrating these functions together, can greatly improve the user's experience, so that they can stay. ”
Lei Jun said after a while: "Li Dong is right, we are indeed ignoring the user experience of the software. ”
In fact, it is not surprising that since the time of Qiu Bojun, all the software of Kingsoft seems to be made behind closed doors. Although a special area for users to submit suggestions has been opened in the forum, Kingsoft rarely accepts these opinions, which also makes many users have no sense of belonging to Kingsoft.
At this time, Li Haoyu's mobile phone rang, he said sorry to Lei Jun and walked outside the door of the hotel room to connect the phone.
"Li, I have good news for you, I have signed a contract with the owner of that investment company for the transfer of shares, and now I have completed the acquisition of 20% of the shares for you." Raymond said excitedly.
"Mr. Raymond, thank you very much, I will give you a lot of commission."
After chatting with Lei Meng for a while, Li Haoyu hung up the phone and returned to the room, and said to Lei Jun: "Lei Dong, I just received the news that our Mythical Group has reached an agreement with an investment company in the United States to transfer 20% of the shares of Jinshan in their hands to the Mythical Group. Today, Shinhwa Group already owns 51% of Jinshan's shares, and it also has an absolute controlling stake in Jinshan! ”
Lei Jun was stunned for a while before he understood Li Haoyu's words, and then he understood why Li Haoyu wanted so much more than 1% of Jinshan shares, and dared to love Li Haoyu who had plans to buy Jinshan early on, and let him increase his shareholdings This is tantamount to putting Jinshan into the tiger's mouth!
"Dong Li, good means, Lei Jun, I have lived for so long, and you are still the first person who can make me feel admired at such a young age." Lei Jun didn't think that Li Haoyu would lie to deceive him, and now that the wood was in the boat, Lei Jun had no choice but to accept his fate, waiting for Li Haoyu's verdict on the uncertain future of Jinshan.
