Chapter 1065: What's the Conspiracy?
readx;
Really!
After listening to the recording, Lin Zheng sneered in his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Some people just don't know what contentment is, just eat the bowl and look at the pot, and want to smash the pot after their bowl is full, so that others can't eat it?
Dude, don't you know how many pounds and taels you have before smashing the pot?
"Boss......" Pony asked quietly.
Knowing what the pony wanted to say, Lin Zheng waved his hand, looking indifferent: "It's okay, let him be happy for a few days first." ”
How about a few days of joy? After a few days of happiness, of course, it was when he was unlucky.
Is it too smart or stupid for a company to ignore the attitude of the top management and try to benefit itself by selling the interests of its own industry?
"Okay," made a note on the notepad, and the pony looked through it twice, and reminded Lin Zheng in a low voice: "Boss, it's time for you to go to the airport, the plane will take off in less than 30 minutes." ”
"Don't worry, wait until I finish reading these two documents." While speaking, Lin Zheng opened the last two documents on the table, quickly browsed them, and made sure that there was nothing wrong with them, so he signed his name on the two documents.
After more than a month of repeated testing and modification, the ICQ network mall will be officially launched in three days, as a pillar project of ICQ in the future, Lin Zheng must be present in person.
In addition, as the chairman of ICQ, he has to sign investment agreements with Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch, and sign an acquisition agreement with East West Bank.
To say that during this period of time in the US IT industry, the hottest thing is the ICQ network mall, since the ICQ announced the news at the Consumer Electronics Show in the United States in January, several famous venture capital companies and investment banks have desperately wanted to lobby ICQ. The ever-updated cooperation conditions of the great venture capital companies and investment banks led by Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, Sequoia Capital, etc., have made countless Americans open their mouths in surprise, and at the same time, countless entrepreneurs who want to get the limelight are almost crazy with jealousy: such good conditions. Why don't you give it to me?!
The glittering nature of this battle for ICQ shares has really scared a lot of people: the price has jumped from $18 million to $28 million in 1% shares. In the end, ICQ sold 25% of the shares at a price of $33.25 million per 1% of the shares, which means that ICQ just drew a concept, and finally relied on this concept to circle 830 million US dollars from several major investment banks, which also means that the ICQ online mall has not yet been officially launched, and the market value has been as high as 3.325 billion US dollars.
This simply subverts everyone's imagination of the IT world!
After this incident, countless funds poured into the IT field, and everyone was convinced. The IT field is a gold rush, and as long as you enter this market, fools can make money.
Even the entire market has been rising because of this good news, and the stock prices of several IT companies have soared, with the stock prices of Yahoo and ICQ breaking through $300 one after another, and the degree of madness is staggering...... But Lin Zheng will never tell these fools that the Internet bubble is coming.
……………………
"Hey, boss," seeing Lin Zheng, Benier excitedly gave Lin Zheng a powerful hug: "I miss me." ”
"Lao Bei. You look good," Lin Zheng slapped Benier's back twice, and said with a smile: "Don't tell me it's because your wife is pregnant again." ”
Speaking of Benier's wife. This woman is shelved in the republic before the implementation of family planning, and she is definitely a "heroic mother"-level existence: after being with Benier, she became pregnant three times and had 7 children, one triplets and two twins, and all three births were natural births, which made Lin Zheng admire a mess.
Hearing Lin Zheng talk about this, Benier smiled more and more happily: "That's not true." But in my eyes, the ICQ online store is my child. Now that this child has come into the world, do you think I should be happy? ”
Benier said that the ICQ online store is his own child. Lin Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong with this, to be honest, Benier definitely used more thoughts on the ICQ online mall than Lin Zheng, nodded with a smile, and beat Benier's chest hard, Lin Zheng smiled: "As long as this child is healthy, in addition to what I promised you before, I will give you a big red envelope!" ”
"Ha ......" Benilden laughed and gave a thumbs up: "You are really a generous boss." ”
In the ICQ online mall project, Lin Zheng took out a total of 35% of the shares, in addition to 25% for financing from several major investment banks, and 10% is for the company's employees and executives equity incentives, of which Benier, the CEO of ICQ, took 0.7%, other executives collectively took 2.8%, and the company's employees collectively shared the remaining 6.5%.
Although everyone only has the right to dividends, and the shares will be automatically returned to the company after resignation, even after resignation, you can get dividends for another 5 years.
Of course, such a good condition, a restriction clause is that you cannot engage in similar work for 2 years after leaving the company.
Benier's situation is different, as the 0.7% stake automatically goes to him as long as he has worked at ICQ for 15 years.
Now the market value of the ICQ network mall is 3.325 billion US dollars, and his 0.7% stake is worth 10,000 US dollars, and God knows how much the 0.7% stake in his hand will be worth in 15 years, at least hundreds of millions of dollars is not a problem.
It was so quickly thought of that that that Benier was in such a happy mood.
"It doesn't matter if I'm generous, the important thing is that you can run the ICQ online mall well," Lin Zheng's expression was much more serious: "Lao Bei, how many sellers have registered for the ICQ online mall now?" ”
Knowing that this was the boss reviewing his work results, Benielle suddenly became serious and said: "As of 00:00 today, a total of 15,231 sellers have completed the registration and product entry on the merchant registration page of our ICQ online mall, of which 5,378 sellers have registered as individuals, and the rest have completed registration as merchants. Registered merchants operate in every category......"
Nearly twice as many sellers registered as merchants than individually registered sellers? This result made Lin Zheng a little surprised, this situation and the situation of the largest shopping website in China seems to be diametrically opposed, but it is reasonable to think about it carefully, when the largest shopping website in China began to develop, our domestic business is in a period of rapid development, everyone has a lot of opportunities, and the situation in the United States is diametrically opposite, as a highly developed and highly mature market, it is difficult for ordinary people to contact those special purchase channels, but these merchants have more opportunitiesThis means why eBay, which mainly sells personal second-hand goods, has been able to develop so quickly in the United States.
Lin Zheng is very satisfied with this result, and what makes him even more satisfied is that UPS, USPS and FedEx, the three largest express companies in the United States, attach importance to the ICQ online mall: they give a preferential price that only A-level customers will give on the basis of a super preferential price of 85%.
Lin Zheng was a little curious: "Are our registered merchants still satisfied with this price?" ”
"Satisfied, so satisfied that I couldn't be more satisfied," Benier smiled from ear to ear: "Many merchants have asked us again if the products they sell offline can also go to our ICQ online mall." ”
Lin Zheng also smiled and shook his head when he heard this: Who said that foreigners don't take advantage of others?
"Now the whole of America ...... No! It's the whole world that is talking about us, boss, can you believe it, because of the stimulation of this news, our registered users have exceeded 350 million, and Goldman Sachs suggested that we increase the issuance of ......"
"Goldman Sachs suggests you issue more?" After being stunned for a moment, Lin Zheng's expression suddenly became serious: "Why don't I know?" When was this? ”
Seeing that ICQ's prospects and money are wonderful, Goldman Sachs suggested that ICQ issue additional shares, which is not surprising at all, and there is nothing surprising about it, but as the chairman of ICQ, Goldman Sachs did not take the initiative to contact him, but directly contacted Benier...... Lin Zheng felt that there was a strong smell of conspiracy in it.
"5 days ago," Lin Zheng was surprised, Benier was even more surprised than Lin Zheng, he looked at his boss in surprise, and said strangely: "I asked the people at Goldman Sachs at that time, and they said that they would contact you...... So they didn't contact you? ”
Lin Zheng said with certainty: "No." ”
Benier's face suddenly became quite unsightly! Goldman Sachs suggested that ICQ issue additional shares, and told himself that of course it was no problem, and that he was the CEO of ICQ, but while talking to himself, he did not tell the boss of ICQ, the nature of this matter is too serious, what does Goldman Sachs want to do here?
As a veteran investment bank with a history of more than 100 years and various conspiracies and tricks, Goldman Sachs has never lacked conspiracy and trickery in its development process.
Benier looked at Lin Zheng with a heavy expression and asked, "Boss, ...... then?"
Lin Zheng did not hesitate at all, and immediately said: "Tell Goldman Sachs to postpone the signing with them, I need them to explain this matter, unless the explanation satisfies me, ICQ will cancel the cooperation with Goldman Sachs." ”
"But their conditions are the best......"
Unceremoniously interrupting Benier's words, Lin Zheng said irrefutably: That's it. (To be continued)
