Fortunately, President Ma Huateng does not seem to intend to dwell too much on this issue. She quickly said to the female assistant of the VC department who had just raised her hand:

"Now it's up to you to make the introduction."

Maybe it's because of the storm just after the storm, the other female assistant in the VC department, the tone of her voice at this time is actually a little timid.

"Noah's overall game structure is very novel, and it is extremely sticky to college students. The gameplay inside their games, such as the city battle system and equipment system, is similar to the usual games on the market. Their biggest uniqueness lies in their difficult escalation system. The system is very fair, regardless of whether you have money or not, everyone is on the same level. ”

"Our VC department noticed the difference in this company early on. They quickly entered our acquisition horizons. After a comprehensive evaluation, we soon had an interest in acquiring them. ”

"Noah has almost 400 employees, but the annual income is not high. It is estimated that their annual net profit will not exceed 10 million yuan. ”

"However, the scale of their players is gradually growing, and the growth rate has soared in the last half year. But we've also seen that there's a ceiling on their total player base. After all, the total number of college students in the country is about the same every year, and the maximum ceiling is about 35 million. ”

"After comprehensive calculation, the VC department of our company believes that Noah's annual profitability is too poor, so it only gives them the highest market commercial appraisal price of 2 billion. However, our company has not been able to negotiate the acquisition directly with them for a long time. They reject any angel investment, any wholesale offer or partial shareholding. No Angel Foundation has direct access to their top executives. At present, it is not only our VC department that is interested in them. ”

"It is said that some angel funds, a rumor in the circle is that whoever can be the middleman and meet directly with the president of the company will be able to get at least 1 million intermediary fees."

When the female assistant was introduced here, Ma Huateng interrupted her:

"Noah can't directly negotiate the acquisition, why doesn't it report to the president's office later?"

The female assistant said: "Back to the president, according to the company's regulations, the VC department has the right to make independent decisions on a single acquisition project with an amount of less than 3 billion. It needs to be reported only if it is exceeded. This is what you personally prescribe. ”

Ma Huateng was slightly embarrassed and quietly changed the topic: "What is the composition of their shareholders?" ”

The female assistant said: "The president may hold 35% of the shares, other executives 5%, the employee stock ownership management center 15%, LNST and the Water Grace Foundation each hold 10%, and the other 25% are individual shareholders." ”

"25% of individual shareholders are a group of middle-aged and elderly people born in the 60s. Among them, the largest individual shareholder holding 10% is called Liu Zifu, a well-known billionaire in the real estate circle. All the individual shareholders are his classmates, and most of them are either rich or expensive. ”

"We think this president step is possible, maybe on behalf of others. He is only 25 years old this year, from Xiannan University of Technology, and has just graduated from college for more than two years. It's not known at all, and I don't have any personal background. ”

"There is a mysterious force behind it, secretly supporting the development of Noah. For example, more than half a year ago, this step may have been inexplicably on the cover of the day of America. This one is weird. It stands to reason that the company is weak, has a single business, and has very poor profitability, and there is no reason to be favored. ”

For another example, in the past few months, Noah Company has inexplicably taken turns to usher in multiple batches of inspections by pure academicians. At least 30 academicians of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering have gathered to visit their companies. ”

For another example, the Organizing Committee of the G12 Summit in Hanzhou specially revised the original rules this year, and directly invited Noah to attend the meeting in the name of encouraging original industrial innovation. According to the ranking of the comprehensive strength of the domestic Internet circle, they had no chance of entering the TOP12. ”

Ma Huateng turned around and asked one of his female assistants, "Noah also participated in G12, why didn't you notify me earlier of the new list of G12 attendees this year?"

The female assistant reported: "The list of companies and the specific information of each company have already been presented on your desk. You have only been required to report 10 days in advance of the B-level standard. There are now just over two weeks and one day to go. But I've got it all sorted out in advance. ”

Ma Huateng was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly asked the female assistant in the VC department: "Do you confirm that among their shareholders, there are no foreign-funded institutions?" There are no foreigners among the individual shareholders? ”

Ma Huateng's tone seemed to be a little eager, and his eyebrows were tightly locked. The female assistant paused slightly, and said in confirmation:

"According to the public industrial and commercial registration information, this is what I just said. It is not clear whether there is a proxy or not. ”

Ma Huateng thought for a moment, then asked again:

"How come I've never heard of this company? They haven't done any big business promotions? ”

The female assistant said: "They have always kept a low profile, they have never participated in any game industry exhibitions at home and abroad, and they have never advertised in any commercial media. They seem to have a bad relationship with any media in the country, and the media almost never report on them, so the market awareness has always been low. I don't know why their player base is growing so fast. It's hard to explain. ”

"Very cunning and insidious Taoguang obscure strategy! What is the total size of their players? Ma Huateng continued to ask. Her face had changed slightly.

The female assistant said: "Noah's game has broken the record of a single game in China many times, and the highest total number of people online at the same time. They never disclose data, but our data monitoring department estimates that they may already have nearly 20 million college students. ”

Ma Huateng's face was gloomy when he heard this, and he asked a senior executive vice president of the GM department with a little anger:

"How come it is that the internal financial statements submitted by the GM department never mention that there is such a detailed filing information of a competitor in the same industry?"

The vice president smiled slightly awkwardly and said in a low voice: "The general rules of our company's financial statements stipulate that potential counterparties need at least an annual income of more than 20 million, or a monthly turnover of more than 1.5 million, to log in to the remarks on the statement. Noah is far from reaching this hard indicator warning line. ”

The vice president has been following Ma Huateng for many years, and he already vaguely knows that he may have made some major mistakes in his work. Ma Huateng's immediate attitude reaction at this time was obviously somewhat abnormal.

Ma Huateng said angrily again: "There are so many industry risk assessors in the company, and no one has written a comprehensive report on Noah's risk assessment?? ”

The female assistant in the VC department raised her hand again and said:

"Yes. Nine months ago, there was a rookie appraiser named Yao Wang, who wrote more than 10,000 words. He believes that Noah's peculiar online game business model will be seriously disrupted in the future, and the original fishing model of the domestic online game market will bring a greater threat to our company in the long term. He suggested that our company must buy them as soon as possible, or suppress them as soon as possible, so as not to raise tigers and cause endless troubles. ”

Ma Huateng said: "Why have I never read this wind review report on the intranet? ”

The female assistant said: "Qiu Laiming, Yao Wang's direct department head, thinks that he is deliberately unconventional, and the newcomer is eager to make meritorious contributions and steal the limelight. This report was considered alarmist by Qiu Laiming to be groundless, and only gave the worst D rating, so it was not qualified to be on the company's intranet. ”

"Yao Wang, an alumnus of my alma mater, once complained to me about it. So I know there has been such a thing. The female assistant added.

Ma Huateng did not continue to speak. But anyone could see that the expression on her face was already very gloomy and terrifying, and the dark clouds were thick, which was a bad omen that the storm was about to strike again.

No one spoke in the conference room, and the atmosphere was quiet, but the smell in the air, almost suffocating, was obviously not quite right.

A few minutes later, Ma Huateng, who looked unkind, turned around and looked at one of the female assistants behind him. She got up knowingly.

"Let the president's office issue a notice, Yao Wang and his department head Qiu Laiming's positions are reversed, and their salaries are also reversed. I immediately went downstairs to find Yao Wang, printed out his earlier wind assessment report, and delivered it to my desk as soon as possible. Ma Huateng commanded sternly. The assistant took the order and left.

Ma Huateng then changed his gaze and stayed on the body of the other female assistant, who also stood up immediately.

Ma Huateng didn't speak immediately, but just raised a document bag in his hand and raised his hand to signal. There is a conspicuous red 3S confidentiality mark on this document bag, which is the document sealed bag sent by the subsidiary Xiwen Group.

The male and female assistants who were present in the outer circle seats got up and left the conference room one after another after seeing this. The five female assistants to the president behind Ma Huateng also left two.

According to their internal administrative level, this 3S confidentiality mark means that the content of the next meeting is highly confidential, and they cannot attend it.

After seeing them all leaving, Ma Huateng commanded his female assistant with a stern face:

"According to the highest alert level of 5S, an emergency summoning order will be issued immediately. Let all the executive presidents and vice presidents who are out of the field immediately put down any matters at hand and rush back to the company immediately. Then let Yao Wang continue to carry out the risk assessment report of Noah, and come to the 84th floor of the company at 7 o'clock tonight to attend the president-level emergency consultation meeting. ”

The few people left in the venue were a little dumbfounded when they heard the words. Their eyes widened in surprise and disbelief.

It was 10 years ago that the last 5S-level Maximum Alert Temporary Emergency Meeting was convened. That time, the Arctic Goose Empire Company scolded the Zhou Sect Master of the 359 Company. The two sides fought each other with bayonets, which caused a sensation in the entire domestic Internet circle and left behind the legendary story of "difficult decisions".

Is the situation so serious?!

When the female assistant heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, and she quickly trotted all the way out of the conference room.

There was a loud "pop".

Ma Huateng vigorously slammed the 3S-level document bag in his hand on the conference table angrily. Everyone didn't dare to gasp, I don't know why she was so angry, but they all knew that something was wrong.

"I have been working hard to develop overseas markets for most of the year, and I just learned yesterday that a foreign force led by fbook has united several large foreign consortia to operate and short our company's shares in the collective. All of them are long-term short contracts of more than five years, at least they have been cumulatively superimposed, and as many as 10 billion US dollars have been invested. ”

"Our operating figures have been good for many years, and they are still growing slowly year after year. I wondered where they got this extreme confidence. How dare they be so fearless, unscrupulous, and secretly short a large number of our company's stocks. ”

"Today, I finally got it. It turned out that they had been planning for a long time, and all this was not groundless. ”

"There are more than 50,000 employees in the company, all of whom are senior experts, and the result is that they are all a bunch of waste! I didn't even know that the enemy had quietly touched my base camp and secretly planted a super large time bomb!! ”

Ma Huateng finally yelled a few times out loud in a bit of a gaffe. Then, she looked back at one of her female assistants. The latter reacted quickly, immediately got up and stepped closer, took out a soft handkerchief from his small handbag, and presented it.

Ma Huateng took the handkerchief and began to wipe his sweat.

This large conference has a large air-conditioning system and a comfortable temperature. But Ma Huateng was trembling a little with one hand at this time, and he kept wiping his sweat.

Because, on the bangs in front of her forehead at this time, there are clearly some small beads of sweat that are quietly falling.

It must have been a cold sweat.
