Ning Xiang nodded: "My sons are four years old, and I plan to find him a kindergarten in Dongou next year!" ”
"No need!" Song Chen said lightly, "Communicate with your wife, pack your bags, and after attending the top manager meeting next month, you can leave for the United States!" As for the address, the house I bought has not been sold yet, and you will live there in the future! The company will arrange the visa, as for Pufan Design, I will say hello to Mr. Liu Ye! ”
Perhaps knowing in his heart, Song Chen's order Ning Xiang did not refuse, but just nodded cautiously.
"Chenxing Technology is a hardware company with design as the core, I believe you will be successful, just like Steve Jobs who returned to Apple three years ago, paranoia and taste are your biggest capital, trust your instincts!"
Patting Ning Xiang's shoulder hard, Song Chen smiled and said, "Go home and get ready!" ”
Standing up, Ning Xiang respectfully bowed deeply to Song Chen: "Yes, chairman!" ”
As Ning Xiang left, Song Chen picked up the landline and pressed the speakerphone: "Ah Qian, Willy?" Has Mr. Kate arrived? ”
"He's waiting at the door!"
"Let him in!"
It didn't take long for kpcB Kleiner Perkins to become a non-executive director of Alibaba Group, Willy? Kate walked in: "Hey! Dear Song, are you looking for me? ”
Song Chen smiled slightly, his eyes were extraordinarily deep: "I want to meet the partner of Kleiner Perkins China, you can arrange it for me!" ”
"Hmm...... "Willy?" Kate was stunned for a moment, and he asked in surprise, "Song, the purpose of this meeting?" ”
Song Chen said lightly: "I heard that the NASDAQ stock market crash caused Kleiner Perkins Huaying to suffer deeply? I'm here to help you out! ”
……
Mountain View, USA.
By Tony? Founded by Fadel, formerly known as Fuse, Chenxing Technology has been established for half a year, under the care of Song Chen, regardless of investment: it is criticized, after countless overthrows, three times after the finalization of the design was re-modified, a total of two years, costing 30 million US dollars The iPod project was finally finalized. Fadell, engineering designer Matthew? The product created by Bakovia and dozens of engineers is exactly the perfect product that Song Chen has been looking for - Ipod!
At this time, the Ipod setting machine that entrusts Song Chen to "dominate the consumer electronics market" and "build a first-class technology brand" is being placed in Tony? Fadell's slightly messy desk, Tony? Fadell nervously and carefully assessed the product with his hands for possible blemishes, occasionally pressing the mechanical keyboard with his thumb or hard or gently.
Wearing a black headphone, Fadell listened intently to the music, and after a while, he took off the headphones and said to Matthew, who was sitting in front of him? Bakovya, head of software engineering, Kim? Cord and marketing manager Pierre? Mcrow said: "After the product is finalized, our firmware development team needs to keep up because it has been established for a relatively short time and has to avoid the patent mine pool of large companies!" Perhaps this headset is a low-end product, the sound quality is not satisfactory, and the software engineering department needs to optimize the sound quality more deeply! ”
Gold? Cord nodded.
Matthew on the side? Bacvia asked, "So, can EPM and G** follow up?" [Note: EPM, Project Manager; G**, Purchasing Manager! 】
Tony? Instead of answering right away, Fadell asked the marketing manager, "Macro, how are the negotiations going with these big malls like Best Buy?" What about the site design drawings and display drawings? ”
Pierre? "After four months of hard work, the locations for the direct stores of large supermarkets such as Best Buy have basically been negotiated, and the sales staff are currently planning training to be ready for the Ipod to be launched after it is launched," McCrop said. But ......"
Seeing McLeo fall silent, Tony? "But what?" Faudl asked. ”
"The decoration and display design samples were rejected by the boss!" McCloe hesitated slightly.
"Why?" Design artwork, Tony? Fadel has also seen it, and he will wear it to Song Chen if he feels good.
"The design is not up to standard!" Macroke continued to complain, "The boss commented in the fax that our draft design was too popular: one, it didn't reflect the fashion temperament of the Ipod; Second, it does not reflect the unique market position of potential consumers! Third, Chenxing Technology lacks a unique design culture, and now it must be established! ”
Tony? Faddell smiled: "This is indeed the tone of the boss, his requirements for design are always more than the quality of the product itself!" Right, Bakovia, when it comes to product details, you are the one who is questioned the most by the boss! ”
"Without the attention of the boss, how could we have come up with such a perfect product!" Matthew? Bakovia smiled slightly and sighed with emotion, "I have no doubt that the products we have worked so hard to create will be able to conquer the hearts of consumers!" ”
Fadel nodded and smiled at McCrow: "The boss cares about the design department the most, and the tone of the annotation this time is heavier, in this case, if the design department can't get a qualified sample, it is bound to change a batch of blood!" ”
At this time, Fadel's secretary quietly walked in, with a fax in his hand!
Fadell glanced at it, then said to himself, "The boss is ready to install people so soon?" I thought it was paypaL, but I didn't expect that the first one was our Chenxing Technology! ”
"What's wrong, Fadel?"
"Nothing, we'll have a colleague from China soon! And ......" Fadel groaned slightly, and said:
"We're going to Hong Kong!"
……
The NASDAQ stock market crash came so unexpectedly, China's science and technology concept stocks were greatly implicated, coupled with the general black-box operation of domestic listed companies, lying about operating income, etc., the Chinese technology concept stocks came more rapidly than the NASDAQ stock market crash, and the Internet companies that went public on the coat of "point com" on their bodies since 97 years rushed to report scandals, and finally in the next two years, a large number of Internet companies were delisted or closed down. Once again, millions of retail investors have played the role of the wrongdoer, and continue to play this role more than a decade later.
Tmall.com is not a listed company, and with the strategic investment from eBay, a U.S. shareholder, before the NASDAQ stock market crash, the capital book is quite healthy, but Ma Yun, who has just reached an out-of-court settlement with Baidu, is definitely not at ease!
Since meeting with Song Chen, Song Chen's sharp sense of finance has shocked Ma Yun, and before he can recall his worries, the board of directors, which was once firmly in control, has quietly become treacherous.
Qiantang City, Tmall Network Head Office.
"Mr. Ma, there have been rumors in the Hong Kong headquarters recently......" Standing in front of Ma Yun, Wei Wu's face had both hesitation and an unspeakable sadness.
"What's wrong?" Ma Yun was slightly stunned.
"In the equity M&A market, the headquarters seeks to divest the vast majority of the equity of Internet companies invested by Wanda's funds...... Including Tmall! Wei Wu said in a low voice.
Ma Yun's face changed drastically, he stood up abruptly, and then sat back in his chair gloomily.
Benefiting from the frenzy of global technology concept stocks and the pearl of 8848, Tmall has received a total of three rounds of financing since its establishment one and a half years ago:
In the A round, Wanda Fund is an angel investor of Tmall.com, and Jack Ma and 18 Arhats sold 2O shares and received a capital injection of 5 million US dollars;
In the B round, in order to cope with Taobao's first-come, at the request of Jack Ma, a venture capital group led by Wanda Fund and kpcB (Kleiner Perkins Perkins) provided up to $50 million in financing;
In the C round, eBay made a strong stake in Tmall as a strategic investor, injecting $100 million.
From the capital level, the earlier the investment income, the higher the return, Wanda Fund has participated in the A round B of Tmall.com, owning 34.11 equity of Tmall.com, plus the equity restructuring after the merger of Tencent, more than eBay and Ma Yun and the equity held by the senior management, is the major shareholder of Tmall.com! [Note: Wanda Fund is also the main investor of Tencent, and after the merger of the two, Wanda Fund has become the major shareholder of Tmall.com!] 】
Once Wanda Fund seeks to sell it entirely, and considering the attitude of other venture capital, Tmall will immediately fall into a huge capital risk!
There was silence for a long time before he hissed and asked, "Have you found a successor?" ”
Wei Wu muttered: "Considering the global financial environment, I am afraid it will not be an easy thing in a short period of time! ”
Once again, Jack Ma fell silent.
Seeing that Ma Yun was worried, Wei Wu sighed lightly: "Mr. Ma, you must prepare for the worst!" ”
"What do you mean?" Jack Ma asked softly.
Wei Wu suddenly sighed: "Mr. Ma, in front of you, there is a behemoth with a capital flow of five or six billion US dollars!" ”
Ma Yun's face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
"Last year, 8848 'small body' raised 600 million US dollars, even after half a year of attrition, it is at least 400 million US dollars in hand, and it is easy to acquire Tmall!"
Closing his eyes, Ma Yun said in a dumb voice: "I know!" Both 8848 and Chenxing Network have enough funds to annex Tmall.com, and the key is the attitude of shareholders...... Mr. Wei, what do you think the Hong Kong head office of Wanda Fund ......"
"The newly appointed young owner is an out-and-out interest animal!" Wei Wu shook his head and said, "As long as the price is right, he will definitely seek to cash out!" After all, the global technology concept stock shape is swinging, and he needs to give a satisfactory explanation to the fund investors! ”
Ma Yun calmed down from his fright, and he asked in a deep voice: "That's the case, Mr. Wei, what do you have to do!" ”
Mr. Wei was silent for a long time before he said: "Considering that Mr. Ma and others themselves do not have the financial resources to repurchase shares, the best way is to introduce PE with strong capital!" [Note, PE, price-earnings ratio, here refers to "private equity investment institutions"]
"It's hard!" Jack Ma was silent. (To be continued...!)
