"Thunder is always angry."

Li Donglai said with a smile, "We are sincerely seeking cooperation, how can we tease Mr. Lei." Listen to what we say? Trust me, it's going to be the best of both worlds. ”

Lei Jun is not really angry, but he has invested too much in Xiaomi, even if he wants to resell it, he must sell it at a price that suits his investment, otherwise he will not let go even if it is rotten in his hands. Hearing Messiah say the price of $300 million was a little out of control.

Hearing Li Donglai say this, he frowned, and sat down again.

Maisiha took out a letter of intent to buy, spread it out on the table one by one, and spoke.

……

Of course, 300 million wants to buy a company that is improving, which is indeed the style of a businessman. According to the evaluation survey of the professional appraisal unit, Xiaomi's current total output value is 350 million US dollars, and 300 million can make him a major shareholder at most.

If a businessman has no money to make, the ghost will sell you shares.

However, Xiaomi also has reasons why it has to accept the entry of new capital.

Because the company urgently needs to develop new products, it urgently needs a huge amount of capital to enter to accelerate the development of this product.

In the mobile phone market, the competition is the efficiency of upgrading. To be new, to have excellent technology, to have a gorgeous appearance, to be more fashionable and fresh.

And Xiaomi mobile phones with sales "fashionability" as their marketing strategy are even more stressful, and they must be ahead of others and constantly innovate in order to seize more markets.

After some bargaining, Lei Jun is still reluctant to sell all the 25.8 shares in his hand, after all, Xiaomi is his hard work. In the end, the price was negotiated to a high price of 125 million US dollars, and he reluctantly acquired 22 shares in his hand. It's hard to get started. The hardest level has been overcome. With this beginning, the rest of the things are much easier. Another director, Li Xuelin, also completed the acquisition at the same price.

In this way, Li Donglai has spent 250 million US dollars to acquire 44 Xiaomi shares, which is very different from the 300 million US dollars he expected.

On the contrary, it is easier to acquire the shares of other directors, after all, they occupy fewer shares, and their voice in the company is not as good as others, and their loyalty to the company is not as good as that of Lei and Li.

Liu Qin, managing director and board member of Morningside Ventures, and Barrett Hartigan, partner and board member of Siwei Investments, each have 2.2 percent of the shares, and Li Donglai finally completed the acquisition for $160 million.

For another $40 million, the acquisition of 9 shares in the hands of Li Hongwei, a partner and member of the board of directors of Source Capital, has achieved absolute control of Xiaomi Technology, with a total cost of $450 million, occupying up to 85 shares.

"Congratulations, Mr. Li, you are now the boss of Xiaomi Technology."

After the full agreement was signed, Li Xuelin shook hands with Li Donglai with emotion.

Lei Jun is also very satisfied, he has accepted Kingsoft's invitation in July, went back to take charge of online games and drug tyrants, and went one step further from the previous vice chairman, and officially served as the chairman of Kingsoft on July 11.

Compared with Xiaomi Technology, which has not yet made a fortune, it is obvious that the behemoth of Kingsoft is more worthy of his full dedication.

These two old foxes also kept a hand, and the future described by Li Donglai is indeed very attractive, so they also left 3.8 shares as a means of guaranteeing the bottom. If Li Donglai really lets Xiaomi take off in the future, they will not regret it too much, once Li Donglai can't support it, they will definitely be the first to retreat.

"Thank you." Li Donglai thanked him and asked, "What are the plans of Mr. Lei and Mr. Li in the future?" ”

Lei Jun and Li Xuelin looked at each other and smiled, shopping mall veterans like them, naturally saw Li Donglai's wishful thinking at a glance.

Making movies is so profitable, Li Donglai's current focus must still be on the entertainment industry. And an international star, who runs a film company and a casino, naturally does not have so much energy to enter an unfamiliar field.

The water in the telecommunications industry is deep, and there is no doubt about the competitive pressure. is as smart as Li Donglai, so naturally he will not rush in rashly and then make bold moves and point out the country.

The wisest choice is to stay put, or keep Lei Jun and Li Xuelin. With their extensive experience and extensive contacts in the industry, they are able to get the new company on the right track.

Both of them are veterans, so naturally you can understand what he means with a few words.

Lei Jun smiled: "Put down Xiaomi, I can also let go of a piece of my heart." In the future, of course, I will return to Jinshan and concentrate on promoting Jinshan to the world. ”

Li Donglai said disappointedly: "That's really a pity, I originally wanted to stay with Mr. Lei to create the glory of Xiaomi, it seems that we have no chance to work together." ”

He had no choice but to turn his target to Li Xuelin, Li Xuelin naturally refused, and would rather be a phoenix than a phoenix, which is a common problem of arrogant people.

Mr. Li ...... Please don't be in a hurry to refuse, okay? If you're not busy, don't let us hear about our next plans. Li Donglai took the first step.

"Oh?"

Li Xuelin hesitated slightly.

Li Donglai will definitely not sit idly by at such a huge price to take Xiaomi, and he is also very interested in Li Donglai's plan to increase Xiaomi's turnover by another 20% before the Chinese New Year.

He is not like Lei Jun, who has Jin Shan as his backing.

Xiaomi threw away his hand, although he only earned more than ten times the profit in only one and a half years, which can be regarded as a model of successful investment. But people are habitual animals, and after such a long period of struggle, they are deeply affectionate, and it is really reluctant for him to leave all at once.

After thinking about it, he asked a question that he was most concerned about at present, "Will Xiaomi change its name in the future?" ”

Li Donglai was silent for a moment, but still didn't want to hide it, and said: "Although the name Xiaomi is very close to life, it has gradually become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in China. But when it comes to popularity, whether it is domestic fame or overseas fame, it is always inferior to the Phantom...... Maybe I'll consider switching to 'Phantom'. ”

Li Xuelin's face suddenly darkened, and he sighed and said: "I thought of this earlier, but when the time finally came, it still made people feel reluctant." It's a pity that the 300,000 users who have already bought Redmi phones have to find a way to make up for their losses. ”

Li Donglai's eyes flickered, he naturally did an investigation, the name Xiaomi is said to have been discussed by the founders, and his opinion in it is naturally very important. said: "Mr. Li, things are not non-negotiable. If Mr. Li is willing to stay in the company and create the future of domestic mobile phones together, I am willing to keep the company name of 'Xiaomi'. ”

Between the names Xiaomi and Phantom, Li Donglai has indeed thought about it for a long time. The establishment of a good brand does not happen overnight. The Phantom has been able to become a strong film company brand in a few years, which is the credit of one fine movie after another. But when it comes to the end, the Phantom doesn't have anything to praise when it comes to the tech industry.

On the contrary, the Redmi mobile phone produced by Xiaomi has been accepted by many customers because of the popularity of the name, and the iconic "Mi" LOGO has gradually become popular in the hearts of the people for more than a year.

And Xiaomi is only his private investment, and it has little to do with Phantom Film and Television.

Just like the "Chinatown" hotel in Las Vegas, he did not choose to use the name "Phantom Hotel" - of course he has the right to use the "Phantom" name, but in his heart, he is still unwilling to lead the Phantom "astray".

As a result, this small discussion has decided that Xiaomi will occupy an increasingly important influence in the future in the forest of domestic mobile phones and even the world's mobile phone brands.

After several busy days, I finally decided on a plan for industrial investment.

This is Li Donglai's third industrial investment since his debut, which is less fortunate than the Clippers, and nearly half less than Las Vegas's investment in casino hotels, but it is more significant for China.

There is no such thing as an impermeable wall.

The news that Donglai brother suddenly returned to the capital and went straight to the Silver Valley Building as soon as he got off the plane has already spread.

Li Donglai's "fashionable" military coat made headlines on the entertainment page the next day.

When the fashion industry is still repeatedly praising Donglai Ge for daring to wear a military coat and tasting his unique fashion, other speculations have quietly spread.

"What made Li Donglai come back in such a hurry, not only stopped the filming of the movie, but also gave up sitting in the headquarters when the phantom was listed?"

"Could it be that Li Donglai is good friends with Lei Jun, chairman of Xiaomi, and came back to visit? But there's been no news about Xiaomi lately. Except for the fact that Redmi is taking advantage of its low price to seize the domestic mobile phone market, there is no gossip ......"

Nine out of ten people can see that there is something in it, and how can a reporter who is known for gossip know it later. Under their pervasive infiltration investigation, news soon surfaced.

According to an internal shareholder, Li Donglai has made another industrial investment after spending a huge amount of money to invest in a luxury casino hotel in Las Vegas Chinatown, this time aiming at the emerging smartphone market.

Li Donglai, who is known as the gold spot on Wall Street, has taken a fancy to Xiaomi, a Xiaomi company that just launched a Redmi mobile phone last year. And it was completed at a sky-high price of nearly $500 million.

"Xiaomi boss Lei Jun and Li Xuelin have made a fortune!"

This is the first reaction of many people.

Everyone in the industry knows that Xiaomi was just a studio a year ago, and there was no factory or franchise store in China, and the investment was no more than 100 million.

In the past year and a half, it has sold nearly 500 million US dollars, a sky-high price of more than 3 billion yuan, which can be called a model of investment in the industry.

"Brother Donglai has been wronged this time!" This is the first reaction of many fans.

The only impression given by Xiaomi is that it is just a Redmi phone with Chinese characteristics. The use of red, a festive color, and the use of the word "rice", a more down-to-earth square word.

At a time when Apple is all the rage, it is completely impossible to make waves in China......

With such an obvious disadvantage, can't Brother Donglai see these situations?

So people turn to the question, what exactly is this Xiaomi company worthy of? (To be continued)
