[In the future, I still take out the time code word during the day, and I am too rushed at night! ] 】
A peek at a leopard to know the whole picture, which explains why Song Chen's revenge on Ma Yun looks like thunder and rain, and he simply intends to use this opportunity to defeat his competitors in one fell swoop!
Coupled with the previous financing, Tmall's cash flow is also very healthy after receiving eBay investment, but what about Tmall's shareholders? Will they withdraw when the Nasdaq crash comes? Will they ask Tmall to transform or make a profit immediately, repeating the mistakes of 8848's "history"?
No one could have predicted! If Song Chen uses the weapon of capital to invest in Tmall and obtain enough equity, it will definitely be an unbearable disaster for Tmall and Ma Yun!
In addition to the first time, Tsai Chongxin also wants to know what kind of reaction will be to SoftBank Group, which focuses on Internet companies.
"It is conceivable that SoftBank Group, which once reached the highest market value of 8 in the global stock market, will inevitably increase its market value by half!" Song Chen muttered, "Masayoshi Son once invited me to join the board of directors of SoftBank Group, but I refused because the time had not yet come!" Once the Nasdaq index is frustrated and the market value of SoftBank Group plummets, the most valuable thing in Son's hands is the Japanese business that can bring him cash income, and overseas investment must shrink according to the actual situation! ”
There are no esoteric economic terms, no professional analytical models, Song Chen's strategic basis is based on his own personal foundation, even so, Tsai Chongxin is still full of confidence in his boss's forward-looking analysis!
As Song Chen said, in the past two years, he has used his vision to see through the future to bring opportunities to the group again and again! Song Chen prepared more than 400 million US dollars of capital weapons for the group, and the rest was ...... It depends on the means and abilities of professional managers!
"If that happens, with Son's vision and a deeper understanding of the internal operations of the group on the board of directors appointed by SoftBank Group, the Japanese headquarters may not sell the shares of Baidu, Alibaba Group's subsidiaries and Chenxing Network!" Tsai Chongxin pondered slowly, "Even if the NASDAQ index suffers a large setback, judging from the nature of this economic crisis, the biggest impact is the financing window of Internet companies!" It is conceivable that whether it is venture capital, equity investment institution PE, or industrial fund, it is obvious that the scale of investment will be comprehensively reduced! Although the market value of SoftBank Group may be steamed, if Masayoshi Son has great determination, the chairman will still not be able to achieve the goal of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf! Especially googLe and Baidu, the importance of search engines, Masayoshi Son will not fail to see! ”
"It doesn't matter, if Masayoshi Son is unwilling to sell his rights and ......interests at the market price," Song Chen said in a slightly deep voice, "then I am willing to intervene in the operation of SoftBank Group in a more active way!" ”
Tsai Chongxin was taken aback, but after thinking about it, this is not a fantasy, the difference is that in the process of the NASDAQ stock market crash, the value of SoftBank Group was reshaped geometrically!
Song Chen sighed: "Chongxin, since I took a break from school to start a business, there are two noble people who have decisively helped my career!" One is Zhao Lin, and the other is Son Masayoshi! If it weren't for Zhao Lin, with the situation at that time in '97, I would have to delay at least until the middle or second half of '98 to get a bank loan! If I don't get a loan, it's unimaginable how long it will take me to get the original funds to open a computer lab! ”
Cai Chongxin nodded silently.
If it weren't for the first person to follow Song Chen, it would be difficult to understand the relationship between Song Chen and Zhao Lin. Even Cai Chongxin himself learned about Song Chen's entrepreneurship from Xu Xiaoying at the annual meeting in 98, Zhao Lin helped Song Chen solve the problem of entrepreneurial funds, and he is Song Chen's indisputable nobleman!
"The second one is undoubtedly Masayoshi Son! If he hadn't spent a lot of money to solve the problem of group exhibition funds in the early days, my idea would not have been rolled out quickly! I am grateful for both public and private! Song Chen took a deep breath, "However, the mall is ruthless! I need to consider the issue of group exhibition more pragmatically, SoftBank Group holds the equity of Baidu 2O, owns the equity of Alibaba E-commerce 15.6 and 8848 1O.2, and has the key voting rights of 4O in the board of directors of Chenxing Network, and is a major shareholder! Baidu and Alibaba subsidiaries are just that, the number of shares held by SoftBank on Chenxing Network makes me sleep, and I have to redeem the relevant shares from SoftBank Group to consider profitability! After joining SoftBank Group, I was able to communicate with Masayoshi Son more efficiently, and the global Internet companies held by SoftBank Group were also my key acquisition targets! ”
Song Chen's intentions, Cai Chongxin already understood, and he was in good spirits: "For example, Wu Jiong once mentioned that if he wants to acquire the French Compass e-commerce company, SoftBank Group has a very high number of shares!" There are also domestic portals Sina and Sohu, and before going public, Masayoshi Son also participated in the financing in different ways! If we can get the support of SoftBank Group, it will be of great help to our plan! ”
Song Chen said with a smile: "Although I think that the NASDAQ will definitely fall sharply this year, I think this process of economic self-repair will definitely not be achieved overnight, it will be a problem that lasts for several months or even a year or two, during this time, the operation of the subsidiary is still based on products to occupy the market!" ”
"You're saying you're not going to enter right away!" Tsai Chongxin frowned slightly.
"Not bad!" Song Chen nodded, "But the funds can't be put in the bank, on the Chinese side, the headquarters and the server center are one thing!" Not to mention the headquarters, the server center involves the processing of all subsidiaries of China Chenxing Holdings, so it must be considered comprehensive at the beginning, and has a certain capacity expansion, so the larger the scale, the better! Don't be afraid to spend money, according to China's current monetary policy, financing from banks is the best capital operation! In addition to the construction of the headquarters and the digital center, I will ask Baidu, Chenxing Software, Alipay, googLe, Chenxing Technology, and paypaL to gather forces to develop some technologies that need to be paid attention to in the future, such as artificial intelligence, mobile chip solutions, system software, security protection, etc.! ”
Cai Chongxin muttered: "How much research budget does the chairman plan to come up with?" ”
"In batches, the total scale is at least over 500 million US dollars!" Song Chen said categorically.
Half a billion dollars? At a time when the group has not yet started to make a profit? Tsai Chongxin raised his eyebrows in surprise!
Compared with the annual research funds of software giants such as Microsoft Oracle, the budget proposed by Song Chen is insignificant, but it is better to be targeted, and it is aimed at the future industry explosion!
Artificial intelligence, this technology has a relatively high foundation in the United States and Japan, but this is the key technology for Baidu and googLe to gain a firm foothold in the next generation of search technology in the future.
Mobile chip solutions, this naturally needless to say, is the key component of Chenxing Technology's future exhibition of consumer electronics, including smart phones!
System software, because this technology involves the layout of Chenxing Technology in the global smartphone market in the future, its importance can only be understood by Song Chen, who has crossed it!
Security protection, Song Chen's career is built on the virtual world of the Internet, once any hacker attack is successful, it will have a terrible impact on Song Chen's Internet empire! Because of this, the security engineers of paypaL in the United States have been constantly expanding, and no one can understand the importance of this part better than Song Chen!
Even, Song Chen can proudly say that paypaL itself has the world's most advanced security protection research force! The reason why Song Chen allocated so much money is nothing more than hoping to lay a solid foundation for patent competition with giants in the future!
Song Chen's hand dotted in the air for a moment, and said: "In addition, the United States also needs to plan googLe's digital center project, googLe is not a listed company after all, and can only be funded by shareholders!" If you add a series of mergers and acquisitions and buybacks, in fact, this $4o is not much, so I plan to sell some more shares of 8848, Chenxing Network and Ctrip in the middle of this month to make up $3O! Together with 6o billion yuan and 4 billion yuan that has not yet been paid, it should be enough for us to calmly face this economic crisis where danger and opportunity coexist! ”
"Hong Kong has $2.3 billion in book capital, 8848 and Ctrip's stock prices are inflated, but Ctrip's total share capital is not much, so to sell more shares to raise funds is mainly 8848! We can also sell another 1ooo shares, which will raise about $700 million, but our 8848 stake will be reduced to less than 28! Whether it's 23.7 or 8848 of Chenxing Network, we are all threatened with losing our controlling stake! ”
"If you talk about the people in the world who can understand my strategic intentions, except for Mr. Zhai and you, ......" Song Chen took a deep breath and sighed, "That should be Son Zhengyi who has been aware of it for a long time, but with his means, he should not use the method of secretly absorbing our company's shares to control relevant listed companies!" As long as I survive this time, Son will be overwhelmed and should not hinder my plans! ”
Cai Chongxin said with a little hesitation: "If the stock market crash can really happen, it is true!" ”
Standing up, Song Chen came behind Cai Chongxin and was afraid to pat him on the shoulder, and said, "Chongxin, except for Mr. Zhai, you are the first professional manager who knows my true intentions!" As you know, although I have a certain vision and vision, I have never had the ability to manage the company! There are also managers in the U.S. holding company, but because of the cultural barrier, it is difficult for me to make the feeling of being in the right direction! So in the future, I have to transfer Mr. Zhai to the United States, on the Chinese side...... With a strong background in finance and law, you are the right person to take over! ”
Cai Chongxin's spirits perked up, Zhai Yan had mentioned Song Chen's plan, but Cai Chongxin thought that Zhai Yue or Wang Xiaoxue would take over in the future, but he didn't think that Song Chen would be willing to be taken over by him, so he was flattered and said: "Song Dong ......"
Patting the shoulder of the right-hand man again, Song Chen said with a smile: "After this hurdle, the business of the subsidiary is on the right track, the future task of the parent company is mainly investment-oriented, Zhai Yan is not suitable, Zhai Yue is inexperienced, although Wang Xiaoxue's wrist ability is good, but there are already suitable candidates, I don't want to be nepotistic!" ”
The key reason is mainly that Wang Xiaoxue, whose ambition is not inferior to Zhai Yan, cannot completely reassure Song Chen, and it is Song Chen's deliberate choice to let Cai Chongxin serve as the president as a financial officer! However, in this case, Cai Chongxin's authority is too great, so it should be a good choice to let Zhu Tiejun, Yao Hua and He Yuntao serve as senior vice presidents of the parent company on the basis of their original powers and take charge of the company's business.
During the Nasdaq crash, Song Chen will also consider consolidating the interconnected businesses between the companies, but that will be in the second half of the year or next year.
"Don't mention what I'm talking to you about today, don't mention it to anyone!" With his hand pressed on the shoulder of his right-hand man, Song Chen told Cai Chongxin very cautiously.
Cai Chongxin hesitated for a moment and nodded.
It's a pity! I don't know how many people will lose this best opportunity to exercise their options!
"This stock market crash is a process of reshaping the value of the Internet economy, and the same is true for our company, the salary of employees has risen again and again in the past two years, and it is as inflated as the NASDAQ index, it is time to reflect! Therefore, whether it is the company's management or employees, everyone must grit their teeth! ”
Under the palm of Song Chen's hand, Cai Chongxin's body shook and fell into deep contemplation!
……
Dongou was colder than usual in March this year, and when Song Chen, who was wearing a high-end suit, walked out of the Chenxing Building, he could still feel the biting cold penetrating the fabric of the suit and penetrating into the skin.
After a long fuss, Song Chen got into the black car and prepared to go home.
In Song Chen's eyes, Dongou is still Dongou again, but compared with the city in his memory that is quite backward in terms of economic and environmental construction, the current Dongou has more of a touch of humanity and greenery than in history - China Chenxing Holdings occupies at least seven points of credit.
The car was driving on the road in Dongou, Song Chen put his elbows on the car window, and his eyes gradually fell into contemplation as the street scene retreated.
Sitting next to him, Zeng Qian was sorting out the documents, and several jiàn clips were placed on her fat and bare thighs outside her skirt. Suddenly, she heard Song Chen's question from her side: "Ah Qian, when will Ah Xue come back?" ”
"The day after tomorrow, she's already booked her plane ticket!"
Song Chen nodded, turned sideways and smiled at Zeng Qian: "You are alone in the secretary's room, you are very busy, right?" ”
Zeng Qian grinned toothily and nodded.
"I'm going to Jiangcheng and Qiantang City on a business trip in the next two days, and there's nothing too big to do, do you want to give you a few days off and let you spend a few more days with your parents?"
Zeng Qian shook her head and smiled very playfully: "Since it's not too big, it must be trivial!" I can't help you deal with the big things, and the trivial things still need me! As for the holidays...... I heard that you left a lot of paid holidays for Ah Xue, so keep them for me! ”
Song Chen smiled dumbly, reached out and pinched Zeng Qian's nose, and did not speak again.
Let Zhuang Murong send Zeng Qian home first, Song Chen returned to the community of Binjiang Flower Garden, took a second look at the villa buildings of Kaori Hayakawa and Dominica, and then returned to his home.
After entering the door, Song Chen realized where Zhang Ruoxi was already waiting.
The heating in the villa was turned on and it was as warm as spring.
Song Chen took off his suit jacket and asked casually, "What about Ah Can?" ”
"Take it to your mother and learn to walk in your room!" Zhang Ruoxi smiled, took her fiancé's coat and hung it on her wrist.
"Huh!"
Pinching Zhang Ruoxi's pink cheeks, Song Chen untied his tie and walked towards the sand in the living room, and at the same time did not forget to complain: "I still can't get used to wearing a suit, unless there is a meeting or other formal occasions, let's be more casual in the future!" ”
Zhang Ruoxi, who followed behind, smiled: "Got it!" ”
"Do you have something to tell me?" Song Chen leaned on the sand and looked at Zhang Ruoxi with a sideways face.
"You know?" Zhang Ruoxi smiled in surprise.
"You know me, I don't know you yet!" Song Chen smiled slightly and said, "Say, what's the matter?" ”
"Just now, the Dongou Red Cross Society sent me an invitation to participate in this Sunday night charity banquet!" Zhang Ruoxi said very hesitantly.
Red Cross Society?
This charitable organization is notorious because of the "Guo Meimei" incident, and Song Chen owes no favor at all! But when a person reaches his status, it doesn't mean that he can't ignore it, whether it is for the purpose of "raising hope" or personal kindness, Song Chen can't refuse the invitation of this charitable organization. So he pursed his lips and said, "Very good! You can go for me! ”
"But aren't you going on a business trip to Jiangcheng?" Zhang Ruoxi asked with a slight hesitation.
"Huh? Does it matter? Song Chen was stunned for a moment, "Are you also going to Jiangcheng?" Why? ”
Zhang Ruoxi thought for a while and asked, "Do you know that Linlin was brought back to Jiangcheng by Uncle Zhao?" ”
Song Chen leaned forward, his hands interlaced with his elbows on his thighs, and he nodded: "Someone sued me today, what's wrong?" ”
"Linlin called me in the afternoon, hoping that I would go to Jiangcheng to see her!" Zhang Ruoxi sighed, "After the runaway incident last year, Linlin was watched very closely by her father, and her voice was also very low and depressed, and she may not be in a good mood!" I want to take Song Chan with me! ”
Rubbing his face, Song Chen leaned on the sand and muttered, "You take the child with you...... It's not impossible, who will go to the charity dinner? Mom wouldn't be happy! Ah Yue and Xiaoxue have also been working overtime recently, I'm afraid they don't have the time to go! ”
Seeing her fiancé's consent, Zhang Ruoxi said very happily: "Let Xiaoying go!" Although her status is very lofty, the relationship with you is there after all, if she can take on more social responsibilities on behalf of the Song family, it will be good for you and her! (To be continued...)
