After completing the B round of financing, Zheng Wentong met Zhao Jianwei in Weike Xinke. With a total share capital of one billion shares, Weke is valued at $4.8 billion, or $4.8 per share.

Zhao Jianwei received 500,000 shares this time, worth 2.4 million US dollars, equivalent to 16.2 million yuan. Zhao Jianwei thought that Zheng Wentong had something to talk about with him, but he asked his boss Wang Zhiliang, and Wang Zhiliang didn't know, so Zhao Jianwei had to come to Zheng Wentong's office nervously.

Cheng Liyuan saw Zhao Jianwei's appearance and comforted him softly, "Don't worry, it's a good thing, not a bad thing", so that Zhao Jianwei's heart finally landed.

Zheng Wentong asked Zhao Jianwei, "How did you feel about the luxury cruise tour that your Weishu team participated in this time?" ”

"In fact, the cruise tour is quite interesting, visiting the attractions of different countries during the day, and entertaining and resting on the cruise ship at night, which is more fulfilling." Zhao Jianwei said.

Zheng Wentong asked Zhao Jianwei, "Who came up with the idea that your tour group refused to get off the cruise ship on Jeju Island?" I didn't know about this at first, but it was only when the city informed me that the employees of Weike Information Technology had taken into account the overall situation in their foreign affairs activities and had done a good job of safeguarding the dignity of the country. ”

At the annual meeting of Weike Xinke last year, the Weishu team led by Zhao Jianwei was selected as the best team of the year and was rewarded for overseas group tours.

On March 11, Zhao Jianwei and his family took a cruise ship passing through Jeju Island, and all employees of Weike Xinke refused to get off the cruise for sightseeing or shopping.

At that time, Jeju's immigration and customs officials were ready to receive tourists, and they were incredulous about the Chinese tourists' move. This time, the passengers were all from Weike Xinke and another large state-owned enterprise in Puhai.

This is the first time in more than 20 years that an international cruise ship has refused to disembark since it docked in Jeju in the late 1990s. This is also a silent protest from Chinese tourists after South Korea deployed THAAD.

Zhao Jianwei scratched his head, "Actually, we originally wanted to communicate with the cruise ship and cancel the cruise ship's docking on Jeju Island, but the cruise ship said that they signed a cooperation agreement with Jeju Island, if it were not for the artificial cancellation of the docking due to force majeure factors such as earthquakes and typhoons, the cruise company would need to compensate Jeju Island at that time." ”

"Because there are only two companies on our ship, the heads of our two companies communicated with each other and then decided to stop disembarking." Zhao Jianwei said.

"Have any other employees of Weke Xinke expressed their dissatisfaction? After all, Jeju Island is also a duty-free port, and you can enjoy a lot of discounts when shopping in it. Zheng Wentong asked.

"No, everyone is very supportive, some girls in our Weishu team have begun to give up using Korean makeup brands and switch to other brands. We are personally resisting, and it has nothing to do with the company's position, so it shouldn't affect our company's business in South Korea, right? Zhao Jianwei said.

"South Korea is an extremely xenophobic market, their consumers are scolding the chaebol monopoly, but the first choice when buying mobile phones is Samsung, even if the Samsung mobile phone battery exploded last year, they are not willing to use other brands of mobile phones, our business scale in South Korea is not large, do not worry about the impact." Zheng Wentong said.

Ramp has only two businesses in South Korea, one is the games "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and "PUBG: Mobile" produced by Bluestar Games, and the other is the TikTok tok app. "Ordinary Glory" was broadcast on TVN's midnight slot, but it didn't make any splashes, and the South Korean people are more interested in Jung Wentong, a billionaire, than "Ordinary Glory".

If the South Korean side knows that Weke Xinke's employees are boycotting travel to South Korea, it may be detrimental to the promotion of Tik Tok in the South Korean market.

At present, Tik Tok is still operated independently, and user data is also stored separately in overseas data centers, and the employees of Micro Ke Information Technology refused to get off the ship to shop after arriving in Jeju Island, and Tik Tok was not affected for the time being.

Zheng Wentong explained to Zhao Jianwei, "From my personal point of view, I support your refusal to get off the ship, and I am proud that the company has your employees." ”

"Later, the administration department will send an email to the employees of this tour group, and during the 618 promotion in the first half of the year, the company will provide a shopping subsidy of 2,000 yuan, and you can shop on the shopping website to make up for the loss that they can't shop in Jeju Island."

"In addition, this matter ends here, everyone should keep a low profile and do not accept interviews with reporters, so as not to encounter the trap of the topic and make our company passive." Zheng Wentong said.

"Okay, Mr. Zheng, I will definitely explain it clearly to them, so that they can make a fortune in silence." Zhao Jianwei got up and left the office.

After dealing with the work of Weike Xinke, Zheng Wentong returned to the slope investment office. Zheng Wentong now feels that it is a little inconvenient for Slope Investment and Weike Xinke not to work in the same building.

Zheng Wentong said to Xu Ru: "You pay attention in the first half of the year, see if there is a whole office building for sale in Lujiazui or Pujiang District opposite, if there is a suitable one, we will buy one, this year Weike Xinke will recruit a lot of people, it is better to buy it than to rent." ”

Xu Ru knew in his heart that since Zheng Wentong planned to buy a house, it was obvious that Microsoft had made progress in acquiring Blue Star Games, and the two sides had basically reached an agreement on the purchase price, payment method and transaction time, and now the two sides were waiting for a suitable time to announce it.

As Microsoft insisted on a 100% acquisition of Bluestar Games, Zheng Wentong's attitude was somewhat relented, and he offered Microsoft two payment options, first, Microsoft provided a one-time cash of $5.4 billion to complete the deal, or Microsoft offered $3 billion and $3 billion in Microsoft shares.

Microsoft's current market value is around $500 billion, and Microsoft's market value will continue to break through new highs in the next few years.

However, Microsoft is obviously also optimistic about its company's stock industry in the next few years, and is reluctant to provide so many shares, preferring to pay in cash.

After lengthy negotiations, the two sides set the deal at $5.4 billion, with Microsoft offering $1.35 billion in shares and $4.05 billion.

Before May 1, 17, Microsoft paid $2.25 billion in cash plus $1.35 billion in Microsoft stock to buy 66.67% of the equity of Blue Star Games, and next year Microsoft paid $1.8 billion at one time to buy the remaining 33.33% of the equity.

Tonglu Investment Fund chooses to hold Microsoft shares, Slope Investment chooses cash, and Tonglu Investment Fund holds about 0.27% of Microsoft shares. This transaction does not include the "Peace Elite" national server and the "Peace Elite" mobile game version.

Xu Ru didn't know the specific transaction agreement between Slope Investment and Bluestar Games, this was not something she needed to worry about, "Mr. Zheng, there is no suitable office building for sale in Lujiazui for the time being, but there is an entire office building in Pujiang District ready to be sold, and Shanghai Pudong Development Bank is ready to transfer Dongyin Building." ”

"Dongyin Building? Isn't that the corporate headquarters of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank? How could they possibly sell the headquarters building, you said that they were ready to sell our Pudong Development Building, I don't believe it. Zheng Wentong said.

"Shanghai Pudong Development Bank is now building a new headquarters, and they have no need for their own use of Dongyin Building, so they seek to transfer Dongyin Building as a whole, but it has not yet been listed on the market for trading, so Puhai United Equity Exchange has not disclosed this information." Xu Ru introduced.

Dongyin Tower is located in the center of Pujiang District, at the intersection of Yanjing East Road and Zhejiang Middle Road, adjacent to Nanjing East Road Pedestrian Street, and stands side by side with First Department Store and New World Commercial Building.

The building has 30 floors, 270 parking spaces, 3 floors of underground parking lots, shopping malls, conference centers, and 7 to 30 floors are all office buildings.

Zheng Wentong thought for a while and said to Xu Ru: "If the Shanghai Pudong Development Bank plans to sell the Dongyin Building, there is no reason for them to continue to hold the Pudong Development Building. ”

Xu Ru was a little stunned all of a sudden, "Mr. Zheng, although the Pudong Development Building is named after the Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, the property rights of this building are not in the hands of the Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, the owner is actually Qionghang Group, Qionghang Group is wealthy, and now it is estimated that there is no need for transfer." ”

When Zheng Wentong heard this, he knew that sooner or later, the owner of Pudong Development Building would have to sell the building to pay off his debts, and there was no need to rush for a while, at present, he could contact Pudong Development Bank first and buy Dongyin Building first. Later, Qionghang sold Pudong Development Tower to Singapore's CapitaLand Group for 2.75 billion.

When Slope Investment revealed its willingness to buy a house, the feedback from Shanghai Pudong Development Bank was very positive, and they proposed to transfer Dongyin Building as a whole at a transaction price of 2.2 billion, but after the transaction was completed, Slope Investment needed to lease the building back to Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, and Shanghai Pudong Development Bank paid 99.37 million yuan in rent to Slope Investment every year, with a total lease period of two years.

Because the overall tax rate of office transactions is relatively high, Zheng Wentong feels that the transaction price of 2.2 billion is a bit high, and intends to grind the price again, anyway, Microsoft's cash has not yet arrived, and there is no need to rush to complete the transaction.

The news that Slope Investment is ready to buy office buildings in Lujiazui area or Pujiang District has spread, and the real estate agents of Pudong Development want to get this big order for Slope Investment.

Even Xu Fen, who helped Zheng Wentong buy Building 7 of the Upper Garden, couldn't help but ask Zheng Wentong about the situation, Zheng Wentong broke Xu Fen's dream, "We plan to buy the house in full, so we don't need to go through an intermediary." ”

Xu Fen still didn't give up, "Now that the real estate industry of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank knows that Slope Investment intends to buy Dongyin Building, what is the price offered to you by Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, why don't I find a way to help you negotiate the price?" I only need to get 5 pips of the difference. ”

"5 points, you will open your mouth, you don't even have a chance to see the other party, why should you help me pay back?" Zheng Wentong said.

"Brother Zheng, you don't have to worry about this, snakes have snake roads, rats have rat roads, I must have a way to meet the key people of Pudong Development, you just need to tell me the previous negotiation reserve price." Xu Fen is confident.
