Chapter 23 Penguin Financing

When the number of penguin registrations was reported by major media, Lin Sen asked Ma Teng to wait

No, in less than three days, two more NF.MIH and Hong Kong Win Tech both sent vice president-level managers to Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When Ma Teng said the names of these two investors, 10,000 grass and mud horses slipped through Lin Sen's mind. It seems that in the previous life, it was also these companies, although Winco withdrew later, but this time Lin Sen is ready to keep him, after all, Hong Kong also belongs to China, Lin Sen means to introduce two, as for who, the key depends on who has more concessions and who has more money.

For this negotiation, Lin Sen still did a lot of homework. IDG is the first U.S. technology information services company to enter China. In 93, it began to enter the Chinese market on a large scale, set up its own venture capital management companies in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Tianjin, Shenzhen and other places, and invested in many Internet websites in China. The normal operation and management of the target company is generally not too concerned. Such investors Ma Teng and Lin Sen both like it.

As for NF.MIH, Lin Sen has not collected much information, only knowing that he invests in a wide range of media, platforms, and the Internet.

As for Winco, Lin Sen, a Hong Kong native, still understands it. I didn't do much to collect information.

Lin Sen participated in the negotiation as a shareholder, Lin Sen said at the beginning that he was just a bystander, Lin Sen had made a deal with Ma Teng before the negotiation, and his shares could not be less than 20%, if it was not enough, he was paying to make up for it. The other Lin Sen suggested that the purchase price was more than 1,500 US dollars for 10 percent of the shares, and it was best to be able to raise the road to 22 million US dollars, and Lin Sen also explained that it would be an important bargaining chip to bring the model of the newly made penguin show over.

The first to negotiate was MGIDG, with Marten offering 10 percent of the shares, $20 million, and 8 percent of the voting rights. Of course they didn't agree, the two sides went back and forth, did not back down from each other, and the first negotiation ended without a hitch, but they still showed sincerity, and Ma Teng did not take out the penguin show, the later this thing is taken out, the more it can play a key role.

The next day, he started negotiations with NF.MIH, but the price difference between the two sides was too large, and NF.MIH was completely insincere, less than 400W US dollars, and Ma Teng shirked the next negotiation. LIN SEN SUGGESTED THAT MATTEN CRYPTICALLY DISCLOSE THE NEWS OF THE NEGOTIATIONS WITH NF.MIH TO MG.IDG, AND MATTEN COMPLIED.

The vice president of MG.IDG only found out about NF.MIH when he returned to the hotel that night

"Oh, ****, this group of ****, there are their shadows everywhere, it looks like it will cost millions more, ****."

As for the communication with Wincore, it is much smoother, because of the existence of Lin Sen, a Hong Kong person, so many things can be communicated very well.

"Li Sheng, hello, I am Lin Zhiwen's third son, and I am very happy to meet you." Lin Sen stretched out his hand and shook hands with Li Kai.

"Oh? Oh, hello, it's nice to meet you" Maybe Lin Sen's father can't get into the eyes of the Li family, so Li Kai doesn't know Lin Zhiwen.

"My father is the chairman of Lin's Real Estate Group," Lin Sen explained, and Li Kai knew

"Oh, I know, hello hello, I'm sorry, I don't pay much attention to real estate." Li Kai knows Lin's real estate, but he doesn't know Lin Zhiwen, just like many times the embarrassment of singers is that the singers are not popular, and even no one knows who the singing person is.

So Lin Sen was also quite embarrassed, but fortunately, Li Kai's apology made Lin Sen feel much better.

"I am a shareholder of Penguin, and I was invited to participate in this negotiation, Li Sheng, I will not give in because we are all Hong Kongers."

Lin Sen jokingly said to Li Kai.

"Business is business, we are friends in private, but there is no father and son in the mall, and I have never given in to my father" Li Kai generously expressed his understanding.

In this way, the two sides will give their own conditions, but there is a gap between the equity ratio and the stock price, so it is naturally impossible to negotiate.

However, after it was over, Li Kai invited Lin Sen to the banquet, and Lin Sen gladly accepted, after all, there are really not many opportunities like this, and not everyone has a chance to catch the line of the Li family.

"Lin Sheng, I can't imagine that you will invest in penguins before me, the development of the mainland in recent years is really dazzling, I am very optimistic about the value-added value of penguins, but your price is a little high, I am a little hesitant."

"Li Sheng, this price is set by me, I think it's worth this price, let me tell you a data, since the beginning of this year, Penguin's new registered users have directly exceeded 9 million, and it is growing at a rate of nearly 500,000 per day, just yesterday, the number of registered users has exceeded 12 million, and it will only get faster and faster, you can imagine, in a few years, what kind of base will it be, with users, what is not easy to do? Li Sheng, to be honest, the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for you, you should know ICQ, which has a market value of at least $400 million now. Think about the number of registrations he has, and with such a large population base in the country, it shouldn't be difficult to surpass the ICQ. And the penguins already have a profit point. As for what profit points, I can't say. ”

Lin Sen didn't hide it, so maybe he would lose a little money, but it would be more beneficial to the future development, and the friendship of the Li family was not something anyone could have.

"Thank you, thank you Lin Sheng, I'll personally ask Ma Dong to talk about it tomorrow"

After speaking, the two of them did not talk about this aspect, but talked about the development of the Internet, Lin Sen boldly predicted that the Internet abroad has been very bubble, but the domestic is different, and there will be a geometric growth here. The development of computers has become faster and cheaper, and the era of a computer for everyone should not be far away. The two of them talked for nearly three hours, and they were still unsatisfied, Lin Sen admired Li Kai's vision, and Li Kai also sighed at Lin Sen's bold prediction.

The next day, the second negotiation between Penguin and Winco went quite smoothly, and the price was still higher than Linsen's high. However, there are more voting rights, 33 million US dollars into Tencent, accounting for 15% of the shares, 15% of the voting rights, and other details are not listed one by one. At this point, the market value of penguins soared to $220 million. Lin Sen's shareholding ratio became 22, and Ma Teng and his team accounted for 63, and Ma Teng immediately became a billionaire. The 5 million yuan invested by Linsen has appreciated nearly 80 times in half a year.

The next day, major newspapers in Shenzhen and Hong Kong reported that Winco invested in Penguin, and the market value of Penguin skyrocketed, reaching 220 million US dollars, which is an astronomical amount in this era, so various media reprinted each other, and such an overnight case of getting rich did not know how many people who worked hard in Shenzhen and Hong Kong were stimulated. It also deeply stimulated MG.IDG. At the moment he was going crazy in his room

"****, why is it so fast, is Winco a pig? , There are nearly 500,000 new users every day, this is crazy, hey, I should have thought of it a long time ago, such a large population base in China, this number is also said in the past, ICQ can be successful, I am afraid that the penguin will be above him, after all, there is one-fifth of the world's population. Miscalculated, hey, Win Ke is really damned, I'm afraid the prize money will be gone this time"

On the same day, he contacted Ma Teng, hoping to negotiate again, but Ma Teng refused, someone had just invested, and now he was not short of money, so he was less mindful.

After hanging up the phone, the vice president was stunned, no one wanted to send money, what's wrong with this society, since you don't want it, then I can only send it to the door in person, he rushed to the penguin headquarters in the afternoon, but unfortunately at noon, Ma Teng and Lin Sen went to Hong Kong, at the invitation of Li Kai to visit the Hong Kong headquarters of Win Link, this time Lin Sen was lucky to meet the richest man in Hong Kong, a very kind person, you can often hear his hearty laughter, for his son's friend, the richest man is very willing to talk to young people, in his words, I love talking to you guys, so that I can keep a young heart at all times, and his life is not luxurious, just like he invited Lin Sen to dinner is a very ordinary family dinner.

After playing in Hong Kong for a few days, Lin Sen took Ma Teng to his home, met his father, and heard that Lin Sen's investment increased eighty times in half a year, laughed, and said that it was good, when he heard that Lin Sen went to the richest man's house and stayed for dinner, Lin Zhiwen was speechless, he had never had this honor, he told Lin Sen that he hoped to find him directly if there were any difficulties in the future, and he could still speak in Hong Kong's one-third of an acre of land, Lin Sen smiled and nodded.

In the past few days, Tom, the vice president of MG.IDG, has been in a hurry, looking at the soaring data, and feeling that the investment money will only increase again. He reported the penguin to the headquarters, and the headquarters replied that they would take at least 20 points of stake at all costs.

As soon as Lin Sen and the others returned, Tom rushed to the Penguin headquarters and asked to negotiate the shareholding, and under Lin Sen's control, Ma Teng agreed to continue the negotiations, but the standards became different again.

"Why are the conditions so much worse than before, this is almost twice as good as last time," Tom looked at Ma Teng in amazement. He didn't understand where Ma Teng's confidence came from.

"Mr. Tom, you came to invest in our penguins, presumably to see the success of ICQ, then you should also know that the number of registered ICQ is less than 100 million, and the growth is quite slow, almost a few thousand to tens of thousands a day, but the market value is more than 500 million US dollars, although our penguin registered users are only 12 million, but penguins are just beginning to develop, you have to see our country's population of more than 1.3 billion, then it is a sure thing that penguins will exceed ICQ, more importantly, Our predecessor ICQ has not yet found a profit point, but, but, but our Penguin will soon be on a profitable project. And it's a very promising project."

"Can you tell me about your profit-making projects?" Tom asked curiously, he actually didn't believe Ma Teng, it should be because ICQ has not found a profit point for so many years, why can you plagiarize ICQ find it. That's why I'm curious if they lied to him.
