Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Not long ago, he entrusted Goldman Sachs to look for a receiver, but he openly announced to the media that this move was to introduce new investors, and there were many interested people, and they were all investment institutions with deep backgrounds, such as South Africa's Millard International Holding Group [Note: mIh, the largest profiteer of the Tencent empire], Hong Kong-listed companies Wharf's subsidiaries i-CABLE Broadband Communications, China Unicom, and AOL...... Even Yao Hua, the executive officer of Chenxing Network, also sent representatives to consult.
Ding Lei's attitude towards selling NetEase is serious, but his offer of 900 million and still US dollars makes potential acquisition targets scoff.
If it was in 98 or 99, this price would not be outrageous at all, but now in 2oo1, most of the stocks of Internet listed companies have been reduced to waste paper, and Ding Lei's move is inevitably suspected of being a lion's mouth.
In fact, although Ding Lei's attitude towards selling NetEase is serious, he is still hesitant because he still has a card in hand that has not yet been played, and that is an online game.
Last year, "Legend of Blood" became popular all over the country, and the battle horn sounded in almost every corner of the country! The success of Chenxing Entertainment made Ding Lei, who suffered from the lack of online advertising revenue, quickly took action, and almost did not think about buying a game startup company in the south, which is now close to completion.
Once successful, NetEase will quickly get out of the predicament, and he himself will not need to be anxious about the future direction!
However, as a successful businessman who has become one of the top three in China's wealth in the first year of his establishment, Ding Lei of course also has to consider the question of failure: once it fails, will NetEase not be able to sink? Once it fails, will his main book wealth: NetEase's 58.5% equity assets be completely steamed?
Do you want to continue to gamble? Or do you choose to cash out when the shape is not clear? This made him very entangled.
Just when Ding Lei was suffering from gains and losses, in order to show his sincerity. He has been in close contact with potential acquisition targets one by one. Of course, in view of the fact that his offer was too high, Chenxing Network had already shaken his head and left, and mIh euphemistically said that this price was unacceptable, and only Hong Kong i-CABLE Communications wanted to check the financial statements before making a decision.
Ding Lei thought about it. I have to agree with Hong Kong i-Cable and Goldman Sachs.
The problem is that Hong Kong Cable Broadband Communications has found a huge amount of money in its financial documents in contact with NetEase, which has led to a scandal in which its operating income and financial report are inconsistent with the financial report in 2ooo, and NetEase's already fragile and sensitive stock price in the Nakto market has fallen into the abyss of less than one dollar, which has led to a series of reactions.
When the brunt of NetEase's stock price fell to the bottom, there was even a situation where NetEase's market value was lower than the company's cash flow; Secondly. NetEase's personnel has once again experienced violent turmoil, with several core executives such as Xi operating officer resigning, and Ding Lei's chairmanship has also been questioned; Finally, NetEase may have the bad consequences of being delisted from the Nasdaq exchange.
The role played by i-CABLE in the financial turmoil of NetEase has made the industry doubt its intentions, and public opinion has speculated with suspicion that Hong Kong i-Cable Broadband seems to be staging the hostile acquisition of Sohu by Peking University Jade Bird, but the latter gave up because Zhang Chaoyang decisively implemented the "poison pill" plan.
Ding Lei was anxious. The idea of cashing out is getting stronger!
Like the outside world, he has reason to suspect that i-CABLE has played a very dishonorable role in this matter, but he has nothing to resent it! The means that can be used in business competition have always been to do everything, not to mention that the price he quoted is indeed too "outrageous" -- as long as the price is sincere, even if he is disgusted by Hong Kong's cable broadband communications, he is still willing to sell NetEase to the other party.
Just as Ding Lei was about to ask Goldman Sachs to continue looking for a suitable buyer, he had just met with a large private equity fund manager at a high-end restaurant in the second ring road of Beiping. I didn't expect to meet someone I have admired for a long time here! Although he had a heterosexual partner by his side, Ding Lei hesitated for a long time, and finally tidied up the suit on his body and walked over.
Ding Lei is the earliest Internet elite in China, if it is described as a stage, he, Zhang Chaoyang, Wang Zhidong and the three of them are the first generation of Chinese Internet veterans. The person who can make him admire, in addition to Zhang Wang and his peers, who are competitors of the same generation, is Song Chen.
At this time, Song Chen was sitting in a semi-open box with chic decoration.
He wears a gray casual long-sleeved shirt. In the palm of one hand he carries a baby carved in pink, and in the other hand he holds a bottle to feed the child. Sitting across from him was a young and beautiful young woman, her appearance was sweet and cute, and she was eating a Western-style meal while burying each other without hesitation. Shows the relationship between the two.
There are not a few people who can recognize Song Chen's identity, at least the waiters in the restaurant, regardless of men and women, sneaked a few glances with their eyes, as if they wanted to see what this young man, who may be the richest Chinese in the world but is becoming more and more low-key after 99 years, looks like.
Maybe the expectations are too high, but at first glance, I was a little disappointed, because the other party seemed to be just a recent college graduate, and he was pleasing "Qingren"!
“…… You also say, if it weren't for you, I could have a lower abdomen? Speaking of this, Zhao Lin felt very unfair.
Ever since she gave birth to Zhao Ji, her belly has obviously grown fat, and although her mother babbled that as long as she recovers after giving birth, her lower abdomen will disappear soon, but she is still angry. "I don't care, I threw away all the previous clothes, wait a minute, you have to accompany me to Xidan to buy clothes!"
Song Chen rolled his eyes, ignored Zhao Lin, who was suspected of postpartum depression, lowered his head and kissed the tender face of Zhao Ji, who was full of milk, and teased: "Third child, look at your mother, there is nothing to do all morning, I look at her, menopause is coming!" ”
"I see that you are desperate in your heart, maybe you are thinking about the vixen who lives in Wudaokou now!" Glancing at Song Chen, Zhao Lin said hatefully, "Do you want to ask her to come over and wait for you with me?" ”
"Hey, hey, hey!" Song Chen sighed with a sad face, "People didn't mess with you, so you can use the topic to her?" I'm coming back from Hawaii, and I'm always with you! ”
Zhao Lin picked up the knife and fork and warned Song Chen: "If it weren't for the fact that the two of you are keeping to yourself, I would have made you look good!" Let's say okay first, I'll recuperate here for a while, and by the way, I will accompany my grandparents more, and then go to Xiakou City with my mother to live for a few days. ”
Song Chen said with a smile: "Which of the two of you is a fox, and who is more clingy!" ”
Zhao Lin snorted and said, "I'll just take you as a promise!" ”
"Okay, okay, you are the boss in Beiping, everything depends on you!" Song Chen shook his head angrily.
Zhao Lin's originally stinky face suddenly bloomed like a flower, and her bright eyes added to the style of a young woman, and she said happily: "This is my good man!" ”
"Uh-huh!"
Just when the two of them were joking, suddenly Song Chen saw a slightly chubby man walking towards him. This man, Song Chen is by no means a stranger, in his previous life he was like thunder, and in this life it can be regarded as "living in the same era", but since Song Chen gradually moved his power down, he has never attended formal places such as science and technology salons and industry reviews, so there is no formal meeting face-to-face.
Although Song Chen is a low-key person, sometimes his specifications are not inferior to some high-level dignitaries, and he is accompanied by bodyguards when he goes in and out. Although it was a semi-open box here, the half-human-high ring-shaped sand mouth still stood with Song Chen's inseparable humming general, so the other party was decisively stopped outside by Zhuang Murong with his hand.
Song Chen gave Zhao Lin a color, and then said loudly: "Mu Rong, please come in!" ”
Zhao Lin pouted, reluctantly sat down beside Song Chen, and gave up his position to the guest.
Unintentionally being a guest, Ding Lei's expression was somewhat sarcastic, and he smiled: "Mr. Song, take the liberty to come, I hope you will spare a moment!" ”
Song Chen handed the child to Zhao Lin, then stood up and smiled and handed out his hand to hold the hand handed by the other party, and teased: "In terms of age, you are seven or eight years older than me; In terms of qualifications, you are also my senior! Mr. Ding, you are too polite! ”
After a little greeting between the two, Song Chen introduced Zhao Lin's identity: "The surname Zhao Shan next to me is my son-in-law and son Zhao Ji!" ”
Zhao Lin, who was holding her son, smiled very strongly, and seemed to be very satisfied with Song Chen's statement. And Ding Lei smiled secretly in his heart, although he didn't know Zhao Lin's appearance before, but he already knew about her identity in many ways.
And he also knows that the women around Song Chen not only represent beauty, but may even represent prominent family backgrounds: such as Zhao Lin, such as Jiang Yan, such as Idei Ayaka, such as Hayakawa Kaori......
can introduce his mistress as his inner son in front of outsiders, Ding Lei has to sigh Song Chen's boldness and thoughtfulness, Zhang Ruoxi's generosity and grace, and the envy and jealousy shared by men.
Anyway, she is also one of the proprietors of Chenxing Group, Zhao Lin's appearance is very decent, she holds Zhao Ji with her left hand, hands out her other hand and says: "Mr. Ding, please give me more advice!" ”
"Miss Zhao is polite!" shook hands with the other party, Ding Lei looked very cautious, but he was a little curious about Song Chen and Zhao Lin's son.
This baby is surnamed Zhao? What's the story?
After the three of them sat down separately, Song Chen asked the waiter to add a cup of tea with chopsticks and teacups, and took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Ding Lei, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ding, NetEase has been in frequent news recently!" ”
Ding Lei laughed at himself: "It's all bad news, it makes you laugh!" ”
