Chapter 13 Buying Penguins (Ask for Recommendations!) Collect! )
Li Xuan took a plane from the United States and planned to go to Hong Kong first, and then transfer from Hong Kong to Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
In 1999, IDG (米国国际数集团) and Hong Kong Yingke were interested in investing in Tencent, and the five main founders of Tencent established Tencent Holdings as the holding company of Tencent's companies at the end of that year.
The two venture capital investments totaling US$2.2 million were introduced, with IDG and Yingke each holding 20% of Tencent Holdings' total share capital, and Ma Huateng and his team holding 60%.
It was this $2.2 million venture capital that laid the foundation for Tencent's rapid growth in the future.
In June 2001, Hong Kong Yingke sold its 20% stake in Tencent Holdings to MIH Millard International Holding Group at a price of US$12.6 million, and with an investment of US$1.1 million, it was a miracle to obtain a return of more than US$10 million in less than a year, but it turned out that Yingke still underestimated Tencent's growth potential.
The reason why Li Xuan came to Hong Kong is because Hong Kong Yingke has 20% of the shares in Tencent.
After all, it is only 2000, and it has not yet reached 2001, and Hong Kong Pacific Century has not yet sold Tencent's shares to South African Standard.
Li Xuan may be ahead of the South African standard and hold the 20 percent of the shares in his hands. That's why Li Xuan wants to switch to Hong Kong.
Regarding IDG Group's stake in Tencent.
When he was in the United States, Li Xuan had already bought 20% of Tencent's shares in the hands of the United States IDG through the Li Fund.
Now Li Xuan owns 40% of the shares of Shenzhen-Hong Kong Tencent.
Sitting in a private car to Shenzhen, Liu Qiang bought it temporarily as a driver when he was in Hong Kong.
Li Xuan sat in the back seat of the car, holding a Hong Kong newspaper in his hand.
Although Hong Kong uses traditional Chinese characters, Li Xuan can still understand it if you look at it slowly.
"Poof"
Li Xuan looked at the newspaper and let out a strange laugh.
"What's wrong, Xuan Shao? Have something fun? Liu Qiang, who was driving in front, looked at the road in front of him, heard the laughter coming from Li Xuan who was sitting in the back seat, and looked up and saw Li Xuan smiling in the rearview mirror, Liu Qiang knew that there must be some news that amused Li Xuan.
"Haha, it's okay, I just bought 20% of Tencent's shares from Hong Kong Yingke yesterday, and Yingke can't wait to blow things out. He said that he invested more than one million US dollars in Tencent in the mainland, which has increased tenfold in less than a year. ”
"The newspapers in Hong Kong are boasting that Yingke is a wise move to sell Tencent shares, saying that I, the person who bought Tencent's shares, is a short-sighted person."
Liu Qiang also smiled when he heard Li Xuan's explanation, but although Liu Qiang had blind confidence in Li Xuan's judgment, Liu Qiang still felt a little incomprehensible about the acquisition of an Internet company located in Shenzhen-Hong Kong City from Yingke.
After all, Yingke Company had only invested for less than a year, and Li Xuan bought it at ten times the price. Liu Qiang felt that it was still a bit of a loss, and it was not worth it.
"Xuan Shao, shouldn't Hong Kong Yingke sell it?" Liu Qiang really wanted to know why Li Xuan valued this company called Tencent so much.
Because Liu Qiang accompanied Li Xuan to Yingke for the acquisition of Tencent's shares, the two sides did not have much conversation with Ben.
To be precise, Li Xuan didn't bargain at all, and Yingke said a price, and Li Xuan made a decision on the spot and signed the contract.
The whole process took two hours, not even two hours. The senior executives of Yingke who were present were Li Ka-shing's second son, Li Zekai, once thought that he had lost money.
Hearing Liu Qiang's curiosity, Li Xuan explained with a smile: "Am I so short-sighted? If Hong Kong Pacific Century had a long-term vision, he would not have sold 20% of Tencent's shares, but if he didn't sell, where would I pick up such a big bargain? ”
"Besides, even if I don't buy Tencent's 20% shares, those short-sighted people in Hong Kong Yingke will sell it next year."
"They don't know that in the near future, the value of these 20 percent of Tencent's shares in their hands will be another Yingke company, and the total value of Tencent will reach 100 billion in ten years."
"That is to say, as long as Yingke does not sell its shares, it will be able to make its small life comfortable just by holding 20% of Tencent's shares in its hands in the future."
When Liu Qiang heard Li Xuan's explanation, he realized that the gap between himself and Xuan Shao might be the insurmountable distance between geniuses and ordinary people.
Liu Qiang shook his head, thinking that he was going to take over the Blackwater Company of the Mi Guo Company, and thinking that this company was the same as his own job.
Liu Qiang felt more relaxed, Liu Qiang knew that Li Xuan, who was sitting in the back seat, let him emigrate, and taking over the Blackwater Company was intentionally cultivating himself.
Liu Qiang looked at Li Xuan, who was sitting in the back, through the rearview mirror, and the smile that appeared from time to time because of reading the newspaper. Secretly decided......
Shenzhen-Hong Kong Tencent Company.
Ma Huateng, who received the call, got up and hurriedly called Zhang Zhidong in the technical department.
Because Ma Huateng has just received a call from the shareholders of the United States, requesting to convene a general meeting of shareholders, as the shareholder representative of the United States, he has already set off for China.
The reason is that there has been a change in the shareholders of the United States, and the new shareholders have requested a general meeting of shareholders.
"Lao Zhang, don't get it, hurry up and come out for a meeting." Ma Huateng came to the technical department and saw Zhang Zhidong working inside, and quickly beckoned him and called him out.
"I don't know what's wrong, the shareholders of this rice country said they would change it? I think it must be a bad thing that the new shareholder will hold a general meeting of shareholders as soon as he takes over. Ma Huateng, who saw Zhang Zhidong coming out, complained that he felt that today's shareholders' meeting must be nothing good.
"That." Zhang Zhidong, who came out, held a newspaper in his hand and handed the newspaper in his hand to Ma Huateng.
Ma Huateng, who took the newspaper, took a look: "Hong Kong newspaper? ”
Puzzled, Ma Huateng opened the newspaper and looked at it, only to see a capital title in front of him.
Yingke has invested ten times the return in a year, and the investment of Hong Kong superman Li Zekai has made a sharp rise in Yingke stocks!
The following reads that Li Zekai invested more than $1 million in Tencent within a year, and the return was tenfold......
"Wouldn't it? Li Zekai also sold his shares in Tencent? Ma Huateng was very surprised when he saw the news.
"I think so, there is an official statement from Yingke on this." Although Zhang Zhidong is a technical problem in the management technology department, it is not because Zhang Zhidong does not believe in the company's management ability.
On the contrary, Zhang Zhidong, who has a high emotional intelligence, knows when to delegate power, just like now when Tencent has two founders, there must always be a right to exit management.
In addition, Ma Huateng is not as strong as himself in terms of technology, so Zhang Zhidong consciously gave up his management of Tencent to Ma Huateng and managed the technical department himself.
In order to avoid unnecessary troubles in the management of the company when there are two leaders with different opinions.
"Looks like this new shareholder is not doing well?" Zhang Zhidong said worriedly.
"I hope it's not one person or a company that buys all the 40 percent of the shares?" Ma Huateng seemed to think of something and said worriedly.
The two looked at each other. I got up and went downstairs to the company, ready to wait for the new shareholders.
Liu Qiang parked his car under the commercial building rented by Tencent for office according to the address.
Liu Qiang, who got out of the car, quickly glanced at Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong, who were standing not far away, because Liu Qiang had done his homework when Li Xuan was about to acquire Tencent.
I also saw photos of the two from the United States, and I saw photos of the two in Yingke when I was in Hong Kong. So Liu Qiang recognized Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong at a glance,
Liu Qiang, who came out of the back door, opened the car door, bent down and said softly: "Xuan Shao, Mr. Ma and Mr. Zhang of Tencent are waiting below." ”
Li Xuan, who was sitting in the car, had already seen Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong through the window, with a remarkably young and youthful appearance.
"Hmm." Li Xuan got out of the car, straightened his suit and walked in the direction where Ma Huateng was standing, after all, he was an IT boss who saw the future, for Li Xuan in later generations, Ma Huateng was a legend, it was a god-like existence, and it was for people to look up to.
Now that he is going to be his little brother, Li Xuan is still a little excited when he thinks about it.
Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong, who were standing not far away, had actually seen Li Xuan's car a long time ago, but they were not sure if they were the new shareholders who came today.
Knowing that he saw the person coming from the car in his direction, Ma Huateng confirmed.
It's just that when I saw Li Xuan and Ma Huateng coming over, I was puzzled again
"You are?"
Li Xuan, who was approaching, looked at Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong and said with a smile: "Mr. Ma, Mr. Zhang, hello, I think you should have received a call from the United States, I am the shareholder representative sent by the United States to hold a general meeting of shareholders this time." ”
"Oh yes, hello." Ma Huateng hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Li Xuan's hand, looking at Li Xuan in front of him, Ma Huateng felt a little dizzy.
Because the shareholder representative of the United States standing in front of him is too young, is this a minor? Even if you're wearing a suit, it's the same.
Ma Huateng looked at Liu Qiang, who was even taller behind Li Xuan, if he hadn't seen that this tall man was a driver, and opened the door for Li Xuan, Ma Huateng would not have believed that the shareholder representative he was going to pick up was a child.
Ma Huateng looked at his old friend Zhang Zhidong, who was also a little stunned, and made a look, "What's the situation?" He said that he did not know much about this situation.
"I don't know?" Zhang Zhidong also gave a look back.
Although the helpless Ma Huateng is still in the circle, he at least knows that this is a shareholder representative sent by the United States, and he has to receive it well, regardless of whether the family looks like a child.
