Chapter 42: You don't have to lick the cap of the bottle when you drink yogurt

Remember [Martial Arts ♂ ÷ in a second? Text☆网.], update fast, no pop-ups, free to read!

Zhang Xiaolong nodded, there was no objection, in this cold winter of the Internet, it is enough to give such a condition to those brothers.

"What do you need me to do after that?"

"The Foxmail project can exist as an independent studio of Pangu Search, or it can be registered as a separate company, and you can get your own idea. The group platform will give you more room to show. First of all, I hope you can assist Tencent QQ to develop a mailbox product, which is easy for you. The second is your challenge, MSN, you should be familiar with it, right? ”

“MSN? Isn't there already a Tencent QQ now? Zhang Xiaolong's mind didn't turn a corner.

"The positioning is different, QQ is too entertaining. We need a more high-end corporate communication tool, just like the difference between your Foxmail and 163 mailbox. ”

"I get it, it's a good challenge, but I have to be autonomous and don't want to be interfered with too much."

Zhang Xiaolong understood everything at all, and quickly understood Chen Bo's thoughts, he was like a lonely martial arts master, who needed to constantly find stronger opponents to challenge in order to be more exciting.

"This can be there, the future Internet will be wonderful because of your existence, this is just the beginning!"

Chen Bo has no doubt that the platform of Pangu can elevate Zhang Xiaolong to a new height, and 7 million yuan to buy Foxmail, which has three or four million users, is definitely profitable.

You must know that Microsoft spent $400 million to buy Hotmail, and the total number of registered users at that time was only about 8 million.

Of course, the two national conditions are different, and the quality of users in the domestic market is not so high. But this is already very worthy of Chen Bo's pride!

If both parties are satisfied with each other, they will sign a letter of agreement before proceeding with the transaction with Boda Network. Chen Yishan is still waiting for news here in Rongcheng to officially sign the contract, after the payment arrives. Then lead the Foxmail team along. Both the Human Resources Department and the Administration Department are ready to receive them accordingly.

Zhang Xiaolong did not choose to go back to Rongcheng, but went directly to Tengxun's side, and talked to Brother Xiaoma and Zhang Zidong to discuss the problem of QQ mailbox framework.

The three-person team of Pangu Component has also been successfully stationed in the Pangu Search team, and renamed Pangu Ork, which will re-design the window on the original basis, which is also one of the main elements of the Pangu Component that failed at the beginning.

Although the operating system of indos is a big bug, there are endless vulnerabilities everywhere, but it can't support many users, and the operation is more convenient and faster.

Therefore, Pangu ORK must adapt to the platform, conform to the user's operating habits to succeed, and be compatible with Microsoft Office document format, and the most important feature is that the document can be saved online, written and stored at any time, and there is no need to worry about data power failure and packet loss.

It doesn't sound like a very complicated function, but to implement, it's not that simple, now it's not to copy the original client model, but to move this component to the online system, directly online editing, online saving, online viewing.

If you want to continue to do the client, it is difficult to improve, now there are so many office software on the market that do not use, why do you have to choose this one? The competition is too fierce, so it's better to find another way and change the model.

Almost all the work in the first half of the year is laying the foundation, and in the second half of the year, the entire group's product line will start a blowout mode.

Pangu Search is now unmoved, grain and grass first, and the five data centers alone have almost emptied the first batch of start-up capital of 10 million US dollars. This does not include the budget cost of publicity and promotion, and now the money that can be made is a meager traffic fee of Pangu Browser, most of which are still right-handed, from the sky network, beautiful music network to contribute to the past.

After the official launch of the Pangu search engine, at least hundreds of millions of funds are needed to promote, and if there is no other input, it can only start the A round of financing.

Before there is no user volume and formal products, the financing amount will not be too high, but the shares will have to be ceded a lot.

However, when drowsiness comes, someone will always hand over the pillow, and Wang Dawei, the agent of MIH, has been in contact and communication with Ma Teng, and successfully persuaded the group headquarters to obtain the corresponding authorization to start a new round of negotiations.

Wang Dawei not only came by himself, but also brought his negotiation team, legal, accounting, and risk assessment professionals, as well as representatives of ICBC to be in charge of financial advisors, as if it was a normal corporate M&A business process.

The owner behind the MIH Group is Standard Bank of South Africa, and the first shareholder of Standard Bank of South Africa is Huaxia Industrial and Commercial Bank, which is self-evident.

Banks will also be hired as financial advisors to provide information and acquisition plans, which can provide more financial help and provide financial support for the acquisition.

Chen Bo naturally can't be ambiguous, in addition to him and Ma Teng, plus Chen Yidan, who came back from Rongcheng, the external PwC accountant can also make do with a small team.

Wang Dawei originally wanted to get about 45% of the shares, which is far beyond Chen Bo's psychological tolerance, 20% is already good, and you still want 45%?

So the main point of disagreement between the two sides is mainly here, Wang Dawei showed his excellent communication, business ability, and even made a plan for the future development of Tencent, which also coincides with their current thinking, that is, to go abroad.

Tengxun is successful in the domestic user market, but it still needs to prove itself in the international market, but this is certainly not a short term to achieve, iron still needs its own hard, now it can only be said to do some testing, and the domestic situation tends to stabilize before officially entering the international market.

After two days of closed-door meetings, the final cooperation plan was finally finalized.

MIH Group invested 40 million US dollars to acquire 30% of the shares of Tencent Company, only stationed financial personnel, no management rights, only the right to suggest, and the original founding team continued to be responsible for the company's internal operations.

Of this amount, $10 million will be directly injected into Tencent's account for future development, while the other $30 million will be attributed to the profits from the transfer of equity in Pangu Group.

Two months ago, BP Fund spent $10 million to acquire 25% of Tengxun shares, and now it has directly multiplied several times, and Chen Bo is equal to an empty glove white wolf, replacing 15% with 5% of Sky Net shares, which has only been worth $20 million in half a year.

This transaction is a big profit, but Chen Bo doesn't care, this is far from the market value of Tencent trillions of yuan in the future.

With money, Tengxun is naturally more confident, and now he no longer has to tie his hands and feet.

With this large amount of money, Chen Bo doesn't have to worry about the Pangu search, at least there is no shortage of funds in the short term. The $20 million was then transferred to the account of Pangu Search, otherwise the group would have to pay corporate income tax if it remained in the group's account, and now spending money has become the main task.

The remaining 10 million went to various taxes plus the original funds, and after the acquisition of Pangu Components and Foxmail, the total total amount was more than 10 million US dollars.

Later, Chen Bo issued a million-dollar reward plan at the board of directors' resolution to encourage all the people of Tencent to be sold, and now that the shares are sold, you can't cover it yourself, and let all the people who have worked hard to bring out Tengxun enjoy the benefits it brings.

As for the specific distribution, it will be handed over to Ma Teng to be responsible for formulating the plan, and the group's finance will only pay for it.

The big head must also be their five founders, after they invested in Pangu Group at the price of Tengxun shares, they cut off the possibility of relying on Tengxun to cash out.

Unless Tencent goes public, they will privately obtain a quota of original shares, and that is also time-limited, not that they can be sold immediately after listing, then it is really a fraud money.

So Chen Bo specially took out 1 million US dollars as their bonus to improve their lives. If you want to buy a car or a house, it's no problem. More than 8 million yuan, even if you give 2 million to employees, there are still more than 6 million yuan left to the management.

Of course, several managers are very happy, the days of suffocating their belts are finally gone, and who can not be happy. Last year, I was so poor that I couldn't eat, but now I don't need to lick the bottle cap when I drink yogurt.

Chen Bo also explained in the group's internal email, this is the result of the concerted efforts of Tengxun Company, you also want to get this treatment, then work hard.

The role of buying horse bones is obvious, not to mention the temptation of huge prizes, which inspires the competitive psychology of other companies!

The employees of Tencent were still a little uncomfortable in front of the employees of Sky.com last year, and now they can also hold their heads up to meet a brighter future.

"What do you think of Wang Dawei's ability?" Brother Xiao Ma came to Chen Bo's office and asked directly.

"Brother Ma has a heart for talent, he has good ability, quite outstanding, it shouldn't be a problem to do some foreign coordination work."

"Well, I also think so, in the future, there will definitely be more and more work in Tencent, and senior management talents are in urgent need, so I have this idea."

"It's good for you to make up your mind, the administrative appointments and dismissals within Tencent Company are all up to you, and I will give an opinion at most. I have to work hard for you as a founder! ”

Chen Bo said with a smile, whether this is a temptation or not, he did not interfere with the idea of Tengxun's internal management, the most taboo thing in the company's development is that there are multiple people giving orders at the same time, who do you say?

Therefore, Chen Bo rarely has contact with other employees of Tengxun in private, and basically nods and smiles politely to say hello.

Communicate with Ma Teng about everything, even if the grassroots employees make mistakes, he has to solve this problem through the management, otherwise the company's power will not be guaranteed, so what prestige does he have at all, and how can he manage the entire company.

Chen Bo still pays a lot of attention to these details, although he has the most shares in the whole group and is still the chairman of the board of directors, it does not mean that he can do whatever he wants.

Just like the king of a country, you can't kill whoever you want, then you have to have the following powerful ministers to support you and do things within the rules, rather than just relying on your own likes and dislikes as the basis for acting, otherwise the country will not be a country.
