At the beginning of June, the news of LEIT Group's intention to acquire the 'Fila' sports brand in the hands of Bank of Bahrain was 'leaked', and then the trading of LEIT Group's shares began to be suspended.

At the same time, LEIT Group also officially announced that LEIT Group intends to complete the acquisition of the world's third largest sports brand 'Fila' with $4 billion in shares and a small amount of cash. The relevant decision will be formally carried out after the approval of the general meeting of shareholders.

As soon as the announcement came out, public opinion was overwhelming.

"The value of Fila in the millennium was only 500 million US dollars, how can it have increased eightfold now, this is too fast!"

"You don't know this, Adidas just bought Reebok for $3.2 billion; Today, the Fila market is 25% higher than Reebok, which is naturally worth $4 billion. ”

"This ...... Fila is really in the hands of Mr. Lin Zuhui, turning decay into magic! ”

"No, someone else is the god of management."

Investors are very supportive of this merger, after all, as LEIT Group explained, after this merger, LEIT Group will form a world-class competitiveness in the sports brand series in one fell swoop, and Fila and Xtep will have a good synergy effect.

The only consideration is whether the price is too high, so everything needs to wait for the shareholders' meeting to make a specific vote.

Since Fila is a subsidiary of Lin Zuhui, although he is the majority shareholder of the LEIT Group, he does not have the right to vote.

As for the result, it is not so certain.

However, in terms of the overall public opinion of Xiangjiang, I still think that Fila is definitely worth 4 billion US dollars, not to mention that almost all of this acquisition is stocks, and LEIT Group is equivalent to spending a small amount of money to expand the entire group.

........

Day by day.

Lin Zuhui was on vacation with his family, and everyone was also very concerned about the merger of Leit Group with Fila.

Because, Guan Jiahui, Qiu Shuzhen, Li Jiaxin, and Li Zi hold 3% of the shares of LEIT Group; Lin Zuhui himself holds 43% of the shares of LEIT Group.

He and his family own 55% of the shares of the LEIT Group.

Guan Jiahui said with a 'loyal' expression: "On the day of the shareholders' meeting, I will definitely vote in favor!" ”

"Me too!" The other three girls chimed in.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "I'm not worried, if it doesn't pass, it will be the loss of the shareholders, and I have great confidence in Fila." ”

With Fila alone's mainland business, it will cost more than $4 billion in the future, and $40 billion is about the same.

As for the development of Fila in the mainland, Lin Zuhui is also more confident, that is, he firmly takes the high-end route, which is more expensive than Nike and Adi. After all, there is already a domestic brand called Xtep, so to implement differentiated development, this difference has to be separated from Nike and Adi.

Of course, Lin Zuhui also thinks that Fila is more fashionable, especially the red, blue and white LEGO collocation, which can be called a classic; And the design of this LEGO turned out to be from the Japanese.

Guan Jiahui asked curiously: "In this way, how much has our share dilution become?" ”

Lin Zuhui couldn't help but snap his fingers on her forehead and said: "After doing it for a long time, you are worried that your shares will be diluted, and it seems that your support is insincere!" After speaking, he looked at her playfully,

Guan Jiahui said 'ah', then covered her head, and said pitifully: "What's the matter, I'll ask casually!" ”

"Haha" Lin Zuhui smiled happily, because Guan Jiahui's expression was so cute, like a girl.

This made him happy, who would have thought that Guan Jiahui was 43 years old this year and could still have this state.

Seeing Lin Zuhui so happy, Guan Jiahui was naturally happy, holding Lin Zuhui's arm, it was close.

Then, Lin Zuhui directly calculated: "Your shares have probably become about 1.76%, and I almost directly and indirectly control 62% (plus 200 million US dollars in cash)." Got it? ”

"Wow, that's amazing, it's easy to increase your holdings to 62%!" Guan Jiahui looked at Lin Zuhui with adoring eyes and said.

"What is called relaxation, I have invested almost 600 million US dollars in Fila, and it took five years of energy to achieve what I am today."

.......

A week later, the General Meeting of Shareholders officially approved the resolution of LEIT Group's acquisition of 'Fila'.

After that, the stock of Leit Group was favored by this and continued to climb upward, approaching the market value of 100 billion yuan (after the merger and acquisition).

in the conference room.

Lin Zuhui personally held a meeting with the senior management of Fila and Xtep to lay out the merger of the two brands.

"The success of Fila Korea has shown me the importance of localization, and Fila is very important in the Greater China market, so it is important to localize. The merger of Fila with Xtep is better to say that Xtep has won the operation and management rights of Fila in Greater China. ”

Thomas had been persuaded by Lin Zuhui in advance, so he said at this time: "Fila and Xtep can indeed create synergies in the Greater China region, Fila can drive Xtep's grade, and Xtep can drive Fila channels." ”

Thinking of the success of Anta and Fila in his previous life, Lin Zuhui has firmly followed the development strategy of Fila in China.

Although the Fila brand is of the same grade as Nike and Adi, the price of Fila is a little higher, and its style is more fashionable and younger, so Fila has developed very well in China; In the previous life, Anta's market value of 500 billion yuan was half of Fila's credit.

Lin Zuhui said: "Okay, President Li, you have to implement this matter well, Fila is developing in the Greater China region, and the initial price is about the same as Nike and Adi, and it will be slightly higher in the long run." Of course, it is important that we give everyone the impression that we are more fashionable and younger. ”

Li Zhenlong said excitedly: "Boss, rest assured, I will definitely let the two brands play a synergistic effect and promote each other's development." ”

Then, Lin Zuhui said: "Fila's endorsement and investment in football are still very different from Nike and Adi, but we have signed two future superstars, and I believe there can be unexpected results." In the meantime, you can step up a little more. ”

Thomas and the others nodded in agreement.

In fact, the price of Fila's signing of Ronaldo and Messi is 'very large', just because Fila does not have the reputation of Nike and Adi, and more importantly, Nike and Adi are looking for potential new stars during the youth training period.

Messi has always been Nike's growth, as for why Nike didn't sign it, it's still Nike's mistake; Messi's parents made some requests, but Nike actually refused, so that Fila, which was originally rejected, took the opportunity to take it at a high price.

Of course, this high price is only equivalent to the price of not becoming the core of the first team, and it is still very cheap overall.

Lin Zuhui said: "Therefore, we can also cultivate potential new stars from the academy, and Fila must form a strong team in this regard. ”

"No problem!"

At this time, Lin Zuhui had decided to secretly hand over the list of Neymar and Muller, the two post-90s generations, to Thomas. Once Fila and these future stars have established a long-term investment and relationship, they can sign contracts in the future.

Fila does not seek to surpass Adi, but at least it can't be too far away from Nike and Adi.

Although it is currently the third, the actual difference is very large.

Then, Thomas also said: "In addition to providing design and other assistance from our headquarters, President Li's team also needs to develop Fila design team in China, which does not need too much, but must be elite. Master the elements of fashion, trend, and youth, and Nike and Adi are slightly different! ”

Li Zhenlong immediately nodded and said: "What the president said is very reasonable, and the success of Korean Fila is a good reference." Of course, the relationship and communication between Fila in Greater China and the headquarters will definitely be closer. ”

Almost all of South Korea's Fila is outside the Fila headquarters, of course, it actually relies on the global layout of Fila.

In the conference room, everyone discussed the detailed work of Fila's merger with Xtep. Of course, the merger of the two sides cannot be achieved overnight, but must be done slowly.

........

New Era Group Headquarters.

The 88th floor of the second phase of the IFC welcomed several guests, including Jack Ma, Cai Chongxin and Yang Zhiyuan, who visited the headquarters of New Era Group together.

The staff first entertained the three in the hall, and soon a young man walked through the door and walked towards them.

The elegance of China, the gentlemen of the West, the calmness of the middle-aged, and the spirit of the young...... It's hard to imagine that so many temperaments are gathered in one, and the three of them think of it at the same time.

The three of them thought in their hearts that it should be like this, otherwise they would have become the richest man in the world before the age of thirty, and they would have been the richest man in the world for a total of ten years.

Legends, whether in the West or the East, like to use 'legend' to describe Lin Zuhui.

"Three distinguished guests have been waiting for a long time!" Lin Zuhui preached like a spring breeze, and shook hands with the three of them one by one.

They are all old acquaintances, and they knew Yang Zhiyuan earlier.

Of course, Jingwei Capital's high-level cashing out that year also gave both parties a hint of mustard, but it didn't hurt. Afterwards, Yang Zhiyuan also understood that Lin Zuhui's vision was beyond his reach.

"Mr. Lin is polite!"

Everyone exchanged a few words, and Lin Zuhui personally took the three of them to visit the headquarters of New Era Group.

And the eyes of the three of them only have admiration, and they do not have the idea of peeping because the New Era Group is a traditional enterprise.

First of all, New Era Group is the top in many fields, such as shipping, real estate, and hotels, which is unique in the world.

Secondly, Lin Zuhui is not only a traditional business, he himself is a technology tycoon at least with Bill Gates, and his main achievements are: Insight invested in Netscape, Yahoo, Google, Amazon, etc., and developed the world's first social software ICQ, and is the founder of Xiaomi Technology, the world's first graphic online game.....

Finally, Lin Zuhui is also a businessman in all fields, creating a culture of Hong Kong Harbor Flow.....

After the visit, everyone came to Lin Zuhui's office, including Lu Bingwen of Jingwei Capital.

The three of them came to meet Lin Zuhui this time, which was nothing more than Yahoo wanting to invest in Taobao.

But this life is not the other.

First of all, Lin Zuhui is currently the majority shareholder of Taobao (with a quarter of the voting rights), and secondly, Taobao has developed better and more competitive than in his previous life.

In particular, Taobao has developed a year ahead of the previous life, coupled with the Alibaba Cloud business, it is impossible for Yang Zhiyuan to use 1 billion US dollars plus Huaxia Yahoo business to exchange for 40% of the shares.

As for why Yang Zhiyuan is only investing now, in fact, it is related to the development of Yahoo itself, and only when the internal development is not optimistic, will he come to seek new opportunities.

Tsai Chongxin said: "Mr. Lin, Yahoo intends to use $1 billion plus Yahoo's Huaxia business in exchange for 40% of Alibaba's equity. ”

When Lin Zuhui heard this, he asked directly: "Do you think this price is appropriate?" ”

Cai Chongxin immediately said: "It's not suitable! Of course, this is only Mr. Yang's preliminary opinion, after our mutual communication and exchanges, in these two months, Mr. Yang's team feels that 35% of the shares are enough! ”

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Yahoo Huaxia is actually not valuable, whether it is Google, Yahoo, or Amazon, it will not adapt to Huaxia." Regardless of other factors, the rise of only one country's own Internet software will inevitably form a strong suppression of foreign investment in the Internet. Of course, I have communicated with President Lu, what I mean is that we have to maintain 30% of the shares, the founding team and Yahoo can also hold 30% each, and the remaining 10% will be held by SoftBank, and the other shareholders will withdraw. ”

Yang Zhiyuan frowned, and then said: "Mr. Lin, Yahoo can be of great help to Taobao!" ”

Lin Zuhui looked at Jack Ma with a smile, who meant that he was more helpful?

Jackma instantly understood that although he and Yang Zhiyuan met late, Taobao can have today, and Jingwei Capital is definitely a great hero.

Therefore, he quickly said: "This distribution is very reasonable, and Jingwei Capital has also helped Ali a lot." ”

Lu Bingwen added at this time: "Not only that, if the price of Yahoo wants to invest remains the same, 1 billion US dollars plus Yahoo Huaxia." ”

Cai Chongxin originally wanted to favor Yang Zhiyuan, but looking at this situation, if Jingwei Capital is unwilling, 40% of the shares cannot be changed.

This financing is very complicated, it is not a single financing, and the $1 billion is not all given to Alibaba, and most of the funds are to be paid to the exit of part of the shares.

In other words, Jingwei Capital also needs to receive a sum of money, which can get back the initial investment and make money.

"Mr. Yang, since Mr. Lin has finalized it, this really needs to be reconsidered." Tsai Chongxin said.

The expression on Yang Zhiyuan's face changed for a moment, and then he said, "I accept this preliminary plan. To be honest, I have a lot of confidence in Alibaba Cloud. ”

Soon the people stopped talking about business, but started chatting.

........

In late June, Sina.com publicly proposed the complete concept of 'cloud computing' for the first time, which is the first time in the history of cloud computing development that this concept has been formally proposed, which has great historical significance.

Soon, the global media began to pay attention to the remarks put forward by Sina.com, and as the background of Sina.com came out, it immediately attracted the entire Internet audience.

People have begun to discuss cloud computing, and 'cloud computing' has become one of the most concerned topics in the computer field, and it is also an important direction for large enterprises and Internet construction.

This time, Sina.com suddenly put it forward publicly because it has mastered the complete concept of cloud computing and some key technologies, so it was officially disclosed.

The advantage of openness is that Sina.com will become a pioneer of 'cloud computing' and gain great popularity.

Sina.com has been in the limelight a lot in recent years, and its 'Sina Video' has taken out millions of dollars in bonuses around the world for two consecutive years and engaged in a 'recommendation algorithm' calculation.

Now the complete concept of 'cloud computing' has been proposed, which has attracted countless attention.

In fact, Lin Zuhui himself knows that there are only three maximum potentials for the development of Sina.com: Sina webtoon, Sina video, and now cloud computing.

As for portals, outdoor advertising, publishing, etc., although they are currently developing very well, they will decline.

Sina webtoon and Sina Video can go to sea and develop globally. Among them, Sina webtoon can rely on the development of the comic industry in Xiangjiang, and Sina Video can also rely on the development of 'Hong Kong Stream'.
