Chapter 1: Zuckerberg's Wrath
The snow has fallen in the north, but the sun is still shining on Qiongzhou Island in the South China Sea, and the warm sea breeze blows through the Pacific Ocean, which makes people feel extremely comfortable.
"What are you waiting for?" In a five-star luxury holiday house, the smell of cigars filled the whole room, and there were two men sitting in the spacious and soft sofa, one of whom was not tall and a young man patted the newspaper on the coffee table in disgust and said, "This kid is about to become the second Bill Gates, and a broken software has sold for more than 10 billion US dollars, which is 80 billion yuan!" Don't you have any ideas? ”
Another man about 30 years old sitting across from him frowned and took a puff on his cigar and took a small puff of whiskey on the rocks, a little impatient. ”
"Cut, I didn't expect you to be so timid now." The young man pursed his lips and said disdainfully, "You planned the car accident in the first place, why didn't you see you so soft-hearted?" The Tubert people are useless, I didn't expect you to be so useless, it is true that the older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous you are. ”
"Fart, I'm planning and then moving." The man roared under his neck with a stiff stalk.
"Make a fart, just now. How many years can you make tens of billions of dollars? Just count on your level to pull it down! The young man continued to sneer, "Only by letting him get out can we get a greater good." ”
"How? The two mayors of Pengcheng and Shanghai endorsed him, and there was Huatou Company behind him, so you don't know what it means, right? ”
"Is that okay? Come here with your ears! The young man smiled mysteriously, and after a moment of whispering, the man looked surprised.
"You and I join forces, and there will be one in the world!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
The two of them looked at the surging waves outside the window, looking even more heroic, and only left after discussing secretly.
04 years are fleeting, and it seems to be particularly lively in all walks of life, especially the comeback of the Internet industry.
With the first landing of Maidong Music Network on the NASDAQ, a small peak of secondary listing was launched, and then Internet companies such as Shanda, Jiucheng, and Ctrip have entered the other side of the ocean, and the rise is gratifying.
Chen Tianqiao even entered the industry with games and topped the Forbes mainland rich list, and it took only 3 years to start from scratch.
Another eye-catching player surnamed Chen, although it is difficult to find his name on the Forbes list, is constantly active in the platforms of major media.
$9.8 billion sale of Fox live, $1.6 billion Java settlement, and net proceeds of $11.4 billion from both transactions.
Acquired TeleAtlas, the largest map manufacturer, and partnered with Oracle to spin off Sun, and took a strong stake in ARM, casting a wide net for data centers around the world.
led his ant army, roaring around the world, successfully squeezed out the king Yahoo in the portal at the beginning of 05 years, and has firmly ranked second in the search engine market. One-third of the world's Internet users use Ant Search, processing a staggering 700 million search requests per day, while Google processes data 1.3 billion times a day.
Microsoft took advantage of the successful acquisition of Fox live and launched their search engine embedded in the MSN panel at the end of the year, MSN search live, which is tongue-twisting to read and even more bland to use, and received more than a bad review.
After more than half a year of negotiations, eBay, the ancestor of C2C, finally obtained Skype, the world's most popular communication software, from B&P private equity funds for $3.7 billion and $1.4 billion in company shares.
So far, the instant messaging industry has undergone a complete reshuffle, although most people in the industry are not optimistic about these two large acquisitions. In addition to these two, only the declining ICQ survives. However, Tengxun QQ, which is in a safe corner, is now thriving and leading the way in Hong Kong stocks.
Everything is rushing towards a better future, and no one expects danger to come quietly.
Chen Bo, the foreman of the ant search, has been on the road, and it is almost difficult to have leisure time to stop and rest, and he attended the unveiling ceremony of the 9/11 Memorial Park in New York before the end of the year, and met Zuckerberg by the way.
"You're going to drop out of school?" Chen Bo was surprised.
"Well, I've decided. Instead of wasting time in school, I can do Facebook as a business right now, and I'm sure it can be more profitable. Zuckerberg still doesn't change his introverted personality, but his tone is full of determination.
"Now that you've decided, I can't say anything, but remember not to regret your choice." Chen Bo didn't stop him, college is not the only way out, since there are better options, why not work hard?
"I'd like to ask you for another favor."
"Just say it."
"I'm going to kick Saverin out of the company!" Zuckerberg read the name with a hint of resentment and impatience.
"Saverin? It's like that partner of yours. Chen Bo asked, "Tell me your reasons." ”
"At first I thought he needed to be more business-minded and he had a lot of money to spare, so I invited him to join him. But after paying $15,000, he never contributed anything to the company, and put the patent applied for by the company in his name. A few days ago, he even used Facebook to advertise the job search website he created for free, knowing that this may be the business we are involved in in the future, which is simply unforgivable. ”
Zuckerberg suddenly became like a small steel cannon, speaking extremely fast, and completely lacking the introverted feeling he used to have.
"OK, I see." Chen Bo nodded.
"I think he deceived himself, I wanted him to set up a company, get financing, create a business model, and he didn't do all three, and now I don't have to go back to Harvard, and I don't have to worry about being threatened by Brazilian villains." Zuckerberg's anger is really not small, and he is still chattering.
"Yes, it's all a minor issue." Chen Bo didn't think there was anything inappropriate, a stable and harmonious founding team could take the company to a higher position, and now it is obvious that this rocket has failed and has to be solved. "Leave it to me, pack up your team and go to Ant City. There is an office space there, I will not charge you rent for the time being, and I will contact the private equity to invest another $10 million, and the shares will be as good as last time. ”
Generally, the proportion of angel investors is basically between 8% and 20%, and if it exceeds this number, it will not be able to do so. If you ask for too much at one time, what will you do to continue financing in the future? Isn't this drinking blood?
Just like Allyes that Ant Search once acquired, it was taken away by IDG 85% at one time, and it didn't take into account the future development at all, which has no commercial reason.
Chen Bo symbolically invested some money for the initial development last time, but he only took 8% of the shares, and the fine water can flow for a long time, and the company was crippled in one fell swoop. Whoever is motivated to continue working will not become a senior wage earner.
Now that he wants to come out and carry out independent corporatization operations, he has to start a round of financing, and sooner or later investing in a private name is a big burden, or indirect shareholding, anyway, he is used to this mode of operation.
Zuckerberg's partner Saverin still has 30% of the shares in his hands, and it is easy to get out of the game, either by issuing a large number of additional shares to dilute his shares, or by buying, anyway, he is not short of this money, and it is reliable to hold Facebook firmly in his hands.
The Spring Festival is approaching, Chen Bo also wants to take this opportunity to take a break, and before he stepped on the plane, he received a call from Depp.
"What? Shanda wants to buy shares in West Wave? ”
"Yes, a 40% premium acquisition, and it's in a hurry, I guess they must have made a big move, because it involves the Internet landscape of Huaxia, so it's ......"
"Sell, why not." Chen Bo didn't wait for him to finish, and said directly, "Playing with the crippled one is one." ”
Chen Tianqiao is very shrewd, knowing that just having a game has no right to speak, and he still has to seize an online entrance to be the most reliable. This idea is not a day or two, especially Tang Jun, who has a Microsoft resume, became the CEO of Shanda, and after the successful operation of the listing, the ambition of the family surnamed Chen has greatly increased.
And judging from the current major portals, Xilang.com is indeed the most convenient to acquire.
Why?
Speed Fox is firmly in Zhang Chaoyang's control, and after the last sharp shrinkage of the stock, it has just eased up, but it has also been surpassed by several other companies, and now it is only the bottom level.
Net E is the confinement of the Ding family, and they are not so active, and their stock price is also the highest, and it is not a little bit of money to complete the acquisition.
Teng Xun doesn't have to think about it, unless Ma Teng is stupid, he will sell it, and there is Chen Bo's mountain pressing, and it will be even more difficult to climb over. The human heart is not enough to swallow an elephant, but no matter how powerful this giant python is, it can't swallow this little penguin with hundreds of millions of users.
Not to mention Tom.com, the private property of Brother Jiacheng, the richest man in China, making money is really secondary to him.
Then the only thing left is Xilang, one of which is quite scattered, and the other is that the internal management is full of factions and is quite complex. No one is a single family, and if you want to be a CEO at the beginning, you can be put in prison by the little-known Chen Bo, and you almost squatted to know that the so-called founder and president are not afraid in Xilang.
If the acquisition is successful, then Shanda will definitely be like a tiger with wings, and it will be a big game with a small one.
If it is the other way around, it will not be of any benefit to anyone, and it may accelerate towards decline, after all, to resist this kind of hostile takeover from the stock market, it is necessary to fight a capital war, and the fight is who has the most money.
In case Xilang comes up with another poison pill plan or a white knight or something, Shanda is really hard to deal with.
But the ultimate beneficiary will be the Pangu Group led by him, and the remnants will be crippled, anyway, the dead friends will not die and the poor will not die.
Under his instruction, Depp actively participated and also helped the other party to plan, and also generously told Shanda: Remember to come to me if you are short of money, dear! The call rate market is the lowest, only 25%!!
Later, Chen Bo asked Nicholas to prepare to continue to collect wool, although the profit this time is not much, but it can also make a small profit, which is better than at least being able to make a wool scarf.
