Chapter 362: Entering Weibo
Beijing, Tahoe Yard.
As one of the most expensive villa areas in Beijing, each villa here is composed of five floors, including two underground floors and three floors above ground, and has an independent courtyard, which is very beautiful.
The house was purchased by Su Ming before, and now it is a temporary place for him to settle down.
He rarely went to the courtyard, and he rarely went to the house he bought for Chu Mengxin, and he didn't go to the Chaoyang Mansion King that Zheng Miaoke followed him in August.
After going through so many things, Su Ming has long understood that some houses are used for living in people, and some houses are used for living in people.
Same sentence, but different meanings.
At this moment, in the hall of the villa, Ji Siyao and Lin Huizhu hurried over and were making a work report to Su Ming.
The content of the report is naturally about the progress of the acquisition of Sina's shares, and the most important thing is the shares in the hands of Tang Weiyan, the second largest shareholder.
Tang Weiyan spent less than forty-eight hours in the ICU before being sent out, not to the morgue, but to a vegetative state that was worse than the morgue.
Being in a vegetative state means that his life will be ruined, and it will drag down the whole family.
You must know that Tang Weiyan has two younger brothers, a mother who has been sick for many years, and his own wife and daughter, all of whom are supported by him.
As soon as he fell, his two younger brothers immediately came to the door to make trouble and asked for a separation.
has been making trouble about this for most of the month, and Ji Siyao and Lin Huizhu have helped Tang Weiyan's wife and daughter a lot, which can be described as busy.
When Gai discovered that the controlling stake in Weibo was in Sina's hands, Ji Siyao had already become good friends with the families of several Sina shareholders.
In terms of public relations expenses, Ji Siyao spent millions.
The hard work paid off, there was a breakthrough on Tang Weiyan's side, and Ji Siyao took action immediately.
Tang Weiyan's wife and daughter knew that they couldn't keep Sina's shares, and the best thing might be to sell them to the first shareholder.
But the first shareholder simply can't eat it, and there is not so much cash.
Ji Siyao's appearance just gave Tang Weiyan's wife a suggestion to sell it to others, and the one with the highest price will get it.
Just at this time, Lin Huizhu came to help, and just happened to act in a scene for Tang Weiyan's wife, and easily took the shares in the latter's hands.
After taking it, Ji Siyao and the two daughters were not complacent, nor did they make a big fuss, but continued to investigate.
As mentioned above, if the first shareholder, who is the founder, retains the right to veto major matters in the company's articles of association, then even if Su Ming gets the majority of Sina's shares, it will still be useless.
The dilution of the share capital is an inevitable result of the intervention of capital, and some companies set up a share capital structure with different voting rights to achieve control of the company.
Therefore, Ji Siyao and Lin Huizhu had to guard against these, which is why they were so cautious.
Thankfully, there is no supplementary clause to these threats in Sina's articles of association.
Even so, Ji Siyao and the others still did not relax their vigilance, and still secretly acquired the shares of other small shareholders on the one hand, while paying attention to the movements of the first shareholder, and on the other hand, they continued to investigate the situation of the entire Sina Company.
“.... Boss, we now control more than 53% of the shares, and we can't go any further.....
In addition, we estimate that the first shareholder should be aware of it, after all, there are not many outstanding shares on the market at present......"
Ji Siyao made the final summary, but she couldn't hide the tiredness on her face.
"Good work!"
Su Ming looked at her pretty face sincerely and sincerely thanked her.
"This is what I should do!"
Although Su Ming's eyes were very real, there was no other meaning of male and female feelings, just grateful for her efforts, but she was panicked when she saw it, and couldn't help but look away slightly, not daring to look at him.
"It's not too early, let's go back and have a good rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow!"
Shaking his head and smiling, Su Ming didn't care, nodded at Lin Huizhu next to him, and then got up and went back to the room to sleep.
"This ....." Ji Siyao wanted to speak and stopped, but Lin Huizhu grabbed her:
"Yaoyao let's go, he feels sorry for you, go back early and have a good rest!"
The next day, Su Ming took Ji Siyao, Lin Huizhu and others to Sina Company, and at the same time, people from relevant parties also came.
Previously, Ji Siyao entrusted three financial institutions to assist in the acquisition of Weibo, but because Sina took the controlling stake, she could only continue to acquire Sina.
Therefore, among the people who came this time, there are also these three financial agencies.
"Su Dong, this is Mr. Jiang of Yangtze River Caizhi, Mr. Ni of Legend Holdings, and Mr. Zhao of Jingwei Huaguo......"
As soon as they met, Ji Siyao made an introduction, and then introduced Su Ming to the three opposite.
When they saw Su Ming, Mr. Jiang's faces changed greatly, and they suddenly thought of something, and suddenly smiled bitterly:
"It turned out that it was Su Dong of Happy Capital who bought Sina and Weibo, no wonder he was such a tyrant!"
Su Ming didn't care, but the attitude of the three people on the other side was much more enthusiastic.
After some greetings, Su Ming said with a smile:
"It's been a really hard time for everyone, and when this matter is over, I will treat everyone to a meal at the Huaguo Hotel.....
I'm going to ask you all today, I hope to be victorious, let's go! ”
The next thing is to do the final showdown, and it depends on how Sina's first shareholder responds.
In the office building on the eighteenth floor, the chairman's office, the assistant knocked on the door and walked in, looking at Wu Zhongming, who was sitting in the large class chair, and said:
"Chairman, Zhang Dong and they came over and asked for a general meeting of shareholders...."
Wu Zhongming's sharp eyes flashed with light, raised his head, and nodded, indicating that he understood.
When the assistant left, he sneered, thinking that this group of people was really white-eyed wolves that couldn't be raised.
He has always known that others want to buy Sina, but they are simply doing useless work.
With the shares and controlling stake controlled by Wu Zhongming, he is not afraid of challenges from others.
It's just that he is still a little worried in his heart, Tang Weiyan's wife is still unwilling to let go, what is going on?
Because although Tang Weiyan's shares and controlling stake are not much, if they are taken away by outsiders, plus those of other small shareholders, it is enough to shake his power.
But he firmly believes that as long as he scrapes together enough funds, he believes that Tang Weiyan's wife will definitely not hold on to the shares.
Soon, he also walked out of the office and into the conference room.
At this moment, it was already full of people, except for Tang Weiyan, who had not arrived, and all the other shareholders of all sizes had come.
Soon Wu Zhongming frowned, because there were a few strangers also sitting here, which was very intriguing.
Sitting in the chairman's position, Wu Zhongming looked at everyone and wanted to see how they performed.
Who knows, everyone is quiet, but the third shareholder, Zhang Dong, suddenly opened his mouth and said that he would re-elect the chairman.
This can be described as a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone in the conference room couldn't help but make a loud noise.
Wu Zhongming was still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and looked at the scene in front of him with a sneer.
But then, Zhang Dong listed a lot of data, and everyone looked at each other and couldn't speak.
In the past, the three portals of Wangyi, Sina and Sohu opened the era of Internet famine in China.
Later, the emergence of BAT put an end to the era of portals, and in today's era when traffic is king, the survival of portals is even more difficult.
Over the past year or six, financial statements have shown that Sina has become significantly more reliant on advertising to generate revenue.
But in general, they are creating content from games, videos, music, e-commerce, etc., to attract traffic and advertisers in an all-round way.
But the effect is very poor, if it is not for the microblog company, it is impossible to make a profit simply by relying on finance, web portals, games and music.
The third shareholder's sudden frenzy, the other shareholders, large and small, were a little confused, of course, half of them knew it, but they didn't speak.
Wu Zhongming, who was watching coldly, looked at the third shareholder who was like a clown jumping beam, and sneered:
"According to Zhang Dong, it seems that I, Wu Zhongming, are not qualified to continue to serve as the chairman, so who do you think can do it?"
"Anyone can do it anyway, as long as it's not you!"
Now that he has torn his face, Zhang Dong is also desperate for the extra money.
It's just that if he is as cunning as he is, he will naturally not be exposed early.
"Really? Do you think you're in control of the big picture if you vote? ”
Hearing Wu Zhongming's words, Zhang Dong also sneered, saying Aren't you just relying on Tang Weiyan's shares? It's a pity he can't come.
"Even if there is no Tang Weiyan, Zhang Dong, do you think you, a two-five boy, will definitely be able to beat me?"
In the conference room, everyone watched the conversation between Wu Zhongming and Zhang Dong and said nothing.
Immortals fight!
"It's just a matter of becoming a king or losing a villain, don't here, the company's articles of association have been stipulated, you better retire honestly, save no lining, and lose face, it's difficult for everyone to do!"
With Zhang Dong's fearless appearance, Wu Zhongming finally changed his face, stared at the other party's expression, and said word by word:
"You took Tang Weiyan's shares?"
When he asked this sentence, Wu Zhongming already had the answer in his heart, and the sentence he asked was not a question sentence, but an affirmative sentence.
Otherwise, the people behind this would never have sent Zhang Dong to come forward.
With the shares of Zhang Dong's third shareholder and Tang Weiyan, as well as the shares of several other small shareholders, the shares will be more than half, and the controlling stake will definitely reach more than 50 percent.
Since then, the tide has turned.
After seeing Zhang Dong nodding, Wu Zhongming suddenly slumped in his chair, and his face became extremely pale.
The Internet that was founded single-handedly was just handed over to each other, and the fruits were picked up?
If there was a regret pill, he would definitely not trust Tang Weiyan so much and give half of the controlling stake to the latter.
At this time, the CEOs of Changjiang Caizhi, Legend Holdings, and Jingwei Huaguo stood up and showed the documents to Wu Zhongming.
The latter looked through it and knew that the current shares and controlling stakes in Sina were indeed in a company that he had never heard of.
For a while, there was no more luck in his heart, and his hair soon turned a lot whiter.
Nearly 20 years of hard work have been wasted in one fell swoop.
"Can I meet the owner of this company?"
Suddenly, he said a word, but his voice was extremely hoarse and desolate, which startled the CEOs of several financial companies such as Changjiang Caizhi.
"I'm sorry, Wu Dong, he didn't come over today, if you have a chance, I'll introduce you to you next time...."
Mr. Jiang of Yangtze River Caizhi rejected Wu Zhongming's proposal, and the latter smiled miserably and said:
"Your purpose should be Weibo, right? ..... I should have guessed it a long time ago, but unfortunately, I was still too confident, and I didn't expect that Old Tang would do such a thing....."
Everyone in the conference room was silent, silently watching the scene in front of them.
Many minority shareholders looked at each other, while others had a happy look on their faces, and the big picture was decided.
"Wu Dong, Sina and Weibo will be delisted and reorganized next, if you don't want the shares in your hands to be infinitely diluted, I suggest you sell them....."
"Delisted?"
Wu Zhongming was suddenly shocked, raised his strength, stood up and said eagerly:
"After delisting, will it be listed again?"
"I don't know, but there is a high probability that it will not be listed again, because there is no shortage of money!"
When talking about the three words "no shortage of money", Mr. Jiang himself felt a little funny, but the other two took it for granted.
Because the acquirer this time is Happy Capital, the emerging capital of the magic capital, there is really no shortage of money.
Boom!
Not listed?
Fully privatized?
In an instant, Wu Zhongming figured out that the strength behind this company was very strong.
After all, in this era, there are not many companies that are not listed.
The four major private enterprise giants that are not listed in China, Warwick, Lao Gan Ma, Wahaha and Zhengwei International, are huge in size, but they are not listed.
And these giants all have one thing in common: not bad money!
For example, the brand Wahaha is no stranger to everyone, and it has accompanied many people's childhood lives.
Chairman Zong of Wahaha is also known as the "richest man in cash", and once said in an interview that Chairman Zong has nearly 10 billion deposits in his bank account.
Not bad for money!
The next thing became much simpler, and a financial company called the Innovation Investment Fund took over Sina and Weibo.
The two listed companies submitted delisting applications to the regulatory authorities, which caused a thousand waves with one stone, and the entire domestic capital market was very shocked.
Because there was no rumor at all before this incident happened, it was impossible for Mr. Jiang and others of Changjiang Caizhi, who had signed a confidentiality agreement, to leak information in advance, so many people were kept in the dark.
It wasn't until it was on the news that everyone realized it.
When Boss Ma, who was far away in Pengcheng in the south, saw this news, he was stunned for a moment, and then frowned and said nothing.
Half an hour later, the person in charge of Feixin's short video knocked on the door and walked into Boss Ma's office.
After staying for more than an hour, the heads of various departments of the short video project were called to the conference room and began to work overtime for the meeting.
There is no way, the development of short videos is too far away from Douyin.
The number of users is not large, and the stickiness is low.
You know, Fetion has a huge number of users, and users only need to click on it and associate it slightly.
Compared with Douyin, it is necessary to waste traffic to download APP, and it takes time to register, which is too convenient.
But even so, there is still a big gap between Feixin's short video and Douyin.
After all, many users have very intuitive data on the stay time, likes, retweets and comments of short videos.
Judging from the algorithm, they seem to be inferior to Douyin Company.
On the other hand, although users do not need to register, they seem to prefer the circle of friends and payment functions, but they have little time to watch short videos.
As the saying goes, success is also Feixin, and defeat is also Feixin.
Therefore, the person in charge of short video must break through this restriction and keep users in Fetion.
When the short video department was in a meeting, Boss Ma stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, looking at the bustling city outside, without a trace of pride in his heart.
"Hey, I didn't expect that kid Su Ming to be so shrewd, he actually understands the truth of cultivating the plank road in the open and Chen Cang in the dark, this trick is wonderful.
However, do you think that with Weibo, you can compete with Feixin?
Immature!
There is still a long way to go, I think you can hold on to it for as long as you can last? ”
The so-called innovation investment fund is just a disguise, which can hide from others, but not from Boss Ma.
Last time I went to Su Ming's daughter Su Yu'er's full moon restaurant, Boss Ma was not on a whim, but had been planning for a long time.
He knew Su Ming quite well, so he would come to the door in person.
But he didn't expect Su Ming to be so cunning, he didn't know his way at all, and he didn't mean to cooperate with him.
If you can't become a partner, then become an enemy.
In this round, Boss Ma failed again, which has attracted his extreme attention.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so late just now, and the person in charge of the short video was called over.
What happened here in Pengcheng, Su Ming didn't know at all.
He stayed in the capital for two days, and after successfully taking Sina and Weibo, he returned to the magic capital.
Of course, before leaving, he still went to see Chu Mengxin, but the latter told him that her eldest aunt had not come for ten days.
Hit again!
In this regard, Su Ming wanted to scold his mother very much, why did all these women have babies so suddenly?
Li Qingqing was an accident, and Zheng Miaoke was also an accident, but Chu Mengxin was definitely planning for a long time.
Unlike Li Qingqing, Chu Mengxin didn't eat any Chinese medicinal materials, and Su Ming didn't take any precautions every time.
But it's been more than half a year, but I didn't expect to be surprised by her in the last few days of the year.
"So at the end of last month, we were in the magic capital?"
At the end of November, Su Ming had just returned from the beautiful country, and at that time, because of the opening of the Huarui Hotel, he entertained Labu Su and others at the Peace Hotel.
"Well, that day was my ovulation ....."
Chu Mengxin's face was red, and her expression was a little unnatural, as if she was afraid that Su Ming would be angry.
"Okay, wait for the hospital to confirm, if it's true, then you should pay attention to yourself in the next period of time....."
Hearing Su Ming's words, Chu Mengxin nodded happily and said that she understood.
In fact, there is no need to go to the hospital for this matter, Su Ming herself has a rough guess, after all, she is so 'hearty'.
It took a little half a day to confirm in the hospital that there was one.
"Now that it's confirmed, then for most of the next six months, you have to rest well, and you can't work hard anymore, do you hear?"
Although he was a little strong, Chu Mengxin didn't feel that it was wrong, but nodded happily.
