Chapter 231: First of all, the Chinese
Du Jing sat in the reception room on the top floor, looking at the mung bean cake, sesame slices and the bursts of fragrance brewed by Tieguanyin on the table in front of him, picked up a piece of mung bean cake and chewed it lightly in his mouth a few times, the sweetness that melted in his mouth made him feel familiar.
"This is Vietnam's Huanglong mung bean cake, I heard that you like to use it for breakfast in Lan Giang."
Du Jing looked at Yu Jun, who was wearing a white hospital gown and his face was slightly pale, and walked over slowly, Wu Yu followed quietly not far behind him, his eyes were fixed, and he smiled: "Even my preferences are clear, Jun Shao, what do you want to talk to me about?" ”
Yu Jun sat opposite Du Jing with a smile, looking at the second son of the Du family, who still felt unattainable last year, and had a confrontation in the Internet café and website business, but he had only seen two faces, but he didn't feel unfamiliar at all, so he naturally couldn't get close.
"SoftBank wants to help Lotus Network be listed on the NASDAQ, and the IPO prospectus has been handed over to the relevant institutions, right?"
Du Jing was slightly stunned, but did not hide it: "Lotus Network does have a listing plan, but it has not submitted a prospectus yet. ”
In just one or two sentences, Du Jing guessed that behind the setback of the listing of Yinhe.com, Yu Jun must have stabbed the financial fraud to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and he was only suspicious before, but there was no evidence.
"According to SoftBank's current shareholding, after the IPO, if SoftBank does not reduce its holdings, will it form a situation of relative control?"
Yu Jun's question made Du Jing's heart sink down, SoftBank now holds 45% of the shares of Lotus Network and has two executive director seats, while Qinglian Group owns the remaining 55% of the shares, and the shares of the two will definitely be reduced after the public offering to the public.
The IPO plan recommended to Du Jing by SoftBank stated that SoftBank and Qinglian Group would each take out 20% of the shares for the IPO, and other investment institutions would subscribe for a part of it. As a result, after the listing of Lotus Network, the shares will become 25% for SoftBank, 35% for Qinglian Group, 12% for investment institutions, and 28% for public tradable shares.
It seems that Qinglian Group still holds a relatively controlling stake of more than one-third of 35% and has relatively high power in the board of directors and shareholders' meetings, but Du Jing still has some doubts.
"Mr. Du has been meeting with some Japanese and American institutional investors recently, right?" Yu Jun asked lightly.
A thunderbolt crossed Du Jing's mind, and his face suddenly became extremely gloomy: "Most of them are Japanese investment institutions. ”
After Yu Jun's temptation, SoftBank's plan was revealed, which was slightly different from Yu Jun's previous speculation. SoftBank does not want to go public on Lotus Network to find an exit depression for Galaxy, but wants to lay out the entire Chinese Internet industry.
Galaxy no longer useful, after all, it is the top five domestic portals, the number of users and the number of daily login IPs are not small, when the door of the domestic media industry to foreign countries is closed, investing in the website is a curve of the way to cut in.
Even if the website is an emerging new media and its influence in a short period of time is far less than that of TV and print media, as long as we are optimistic about China's development prospects and compare it with the United States, the influence of the website will be highlighted in three, five, or even ten years.
The vision of foreign investment institutions is not limited to one time and one place.
For now, the Internet can still be regarded as a consumer product for the middle and upper income classes, which means that if you can use the website as a breakthrough, you can not only have a chess piece in the news media, but also use the platform of the Internet to affect the growth of the so-called elite, which is indeed extremely dangerous in the long run.
The current equity of Yinhe has been dispersed to 35% of SoftBank, 18% of Tiger Fund, and 47% of Qinglian Group.
At that time, Du Feng was still the president of the network department of Qinglian Group, and Du Jing was not involved, let alone in-depth consideration.
Now the IPO plan made by SoftBank for Lotus Network, as long as it is implemented, will undoubtedly become the same result.
As long as the IPO plan is followed, SoftBank and Japanese investment banks will have a total of more than 37% of the shares after listing, becoming the actual major shareholders of Lotus Network, and Qinglian Group will lose this piece of land with good hematopoietic ability.
This is not what Yu Jun has to worry about, what Yu Jun is worried about is the layout of foreign investment banks in the entire network industry, and the three major portals of Sina, NetEase, and Sohu have invested in venture capital from Japanese and American investment banks.
Fortunately, the share is still small, but the deep layout of foreign investment banks still makes Yu Jun feel a headache.
At present, the capital strength of Xiling Holdings is far from enough to compete with foreign investment banks, not to mention, these Internet companies would rather accept the injection of foreign capital than accept the help of direct competitors.
What would happen if the two companies of the Qinglian system, Lotus Network and Galaxy Network, were controlled by SoftBank?
Except for the five major portals in the country, which focuses on news originality and is supplemented by media cooperation across the country, the rest of the portals are still in a very early stage, and most of the news is based on **.
It is not uncommon for major portals to change their titles and publish them on their own websites with a slight deletion of content, so if SoftBank uses the platforms of Lotus Network and Galaxy Network to guide the public opinion of Korean and Japanese companies, the whole result will be the public opinion of the entire domestic portal website.
If it is only to render the promotion of enterprises with a certain degree of authenticity, it is better to say, if it distorts the facts, or even reverses black and white, it will be unimaginable in the early stage of network development.
It's not like Koreans and Japanese can't do such things.
The national flag of the Koreans was originally given by the Qing court when the late flag of the nineteenth century North Korea visited Japan, and it was written on the top of the "Flag of Goryeo, a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty", but more than ten years later, Korea implemented de-sinicization, vigorously tampered with the history books, deleted the four characters of the subject country of the Qing Dynasty, and changed the history that should have been the establishment of Korea by Jizi to the legendary Danjun.
As for the fact that the Japanese have tampered with history, there is no need to say more.
In the Internet age, life is too high-minded and knows the dangers involved, but Du Jing does not have such a deep feeling, and does not realize how far-reaching the impact this will have on culture and other aspects.
What he was worried about was the issue of control and power that Yu Jun said, which was related to the vital interests of the Du family.
"The IPO prospectus was filed with the Nasdaq exchange yesterday."
Yu Jun looked at Du Jing, who was about to be helpless, frowned slightly, tapped his fingers on the table, and said, "Can't you get it back?" ”
Du Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Qinglian Group, as the major shareholder of Lotus Network and Galaxy Network, after the scandal of Galaxy Network Hong Kong Stock Exchange was exposed, Nasdaq has received relevant materials, and this time the review will be more strict. ”
As he spoke, Du Jing paused slightly and looked at Yu Jun: "Preventing the listing of Lotus Network, is this your intention?" ”
Yu Jun smiled: "Will the listing of Lotus Network have an impact on Fengyun Network?" ”
Du Jing felt the strong confidence in Yu Jun's words, and couldn't help but say for a while.
It's just that the front and back feet of the Fengyun, Lotus two national Internet café chain enterprises, today's gap can only be described by a world of difference, counting the franchise stores, the Lotus network can reach two hundred within the year to burn high incense.
The number of existing stores of Fengyun Network has reached 3,000, and the layout is extremely exquisite, with a flagship store with 1,000 seats, a core store with 500 seats, a regional store with 200 seats, and a community store with 40 seats, with flexible layout and scientific distribution.
The expansion rate has been two to three times, and the Lotus network will never be able to catch up.
Counting the tables of Yunfeng Electronics, Thunder Online and Kingsoft in the network market, the entire Qinglian system is struggling.
What Yu Jun said was not a big word, but a fact, which made Du Jing feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
"It's not impossible not to lose the control of the Lotus Network." After groaning for a while, Yu Jun said slowly.
Du Jing's heart was shocked, and he looked up at Yu Jun: "Please speak." ”
"There is a content called the founder's protection clause for foreign enterprises, that is, after the company is listed, no matter how diluted the shares are, the founder or founding institution has the absolute veto power and corresponding seats of the board of directors and the general meeting of shareholders, so as to protect the rights and interests of the founders to the greatest extent."
Yu Jun said with a smile: "You only need to submit a supplementary document to the NASDAQ exchange, and write the corresponding content on it, it is enough, and there is no need to withdraw the prospectus, of course, you have to find a way to convince SoftBank." ”
It will not be difficult to convince SoftBank, but this is not due to Jun's worry, Du Jing is a smart person, he will definitely come up with a way.
Du Jing lowered his head and pondered for a while before raising his head and asking, "Why are you helping me?" ”
"I just don't want the Japanese to be too rampant, and the Japanese of Korean descent are especially annoying."
Yu Jun does not hide his extreme distaste for these two arrogant countries that have committed heinous crimes in China, which is an open secret in a very small circle.
Even in business, Yu Jun will pass on this kind of information, and he can influence a person.
"I am Chinese first and then a businessman."
After Du Jing said goodbye, Yu Jun said to him that he smiled with satisfaction when he saw Du Jing's hand pulling the door slightly.
"The listing of Lotus Network really has no impact on us?" Wu Yu looked at Yu Jun with a sideways face.
"Not completely nothing, as a listed company, the relevant financial statements must be announced, the high profits of the Internet café industry will attract a large amount of capital influx, with the bad habits of the Chinese, the price war is in the blink of an eye." Yu Jun sighed lightly, grabbed a piece of sesame seed and threw it into his mouth: "I like to eat this." ”
"Have you figured out how to deal with it?" Wu Yu hugged Wen Jiàn and asked.
Yu Jun smiled, picked up the sesame slices and handed them to Wu Yu's round lips: "You eat a piece?" ”
