"Dong Cao, if Sina Weibo has greater investment value in the future, then I will not sit in front of you today, and the small shareholders of your company will not choose to flee collectively when someone buys a large number of shares of Sina Weibo at a high price."

Tang Yuan looked at Cao Weiguo and responded with a chuckle.

When Cao Weiguo heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and asked with a wry smile: "Tang Dong, since you think that Sina Weibo will not have great investment value in the future, why do you still spend billions of dollars to acquire a large number of shares in our company?" Even at a premium of 50% to acquire, how can our company let you treat it so solemnly. ”

Faced with Cao Weiguo's question, Tang Yuan did not answer immediately, but picked up the wine cup in front of him and took the initiative to toast Cao Weiguo.

"Cao Dong, it's not interesting to go around the bends, let's just open the skylight and say something."

"I can tell you clearly here that I have no idea about the control of Sina Weibo, and I will not easily join forces with Alibaba Group to challenge your authority on Sina Weibo, but the premise is that you must protect my rights as the third largest shareholder of Sina Weibo."

Tang Yuan crossed his hands, the smile on his face retracted, and said with a slightly solemn expression.

When Cao Weiguo listened to what Tang Yuan said, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was not afraid that the other party would ask for something, he was afraid that the other party would have no desire and no desire.

If that were the case, Cao Weiguo would be even more worried.

Spending billions of dollars and having no desires?

What about playing?

Got money to burn?

Do charity?

This doesn't make sense!

Now Tang Yuan has clearly expressed that he has something to ask for, but Cao Weiguo is relieved, because what he is most afraid of is that Tang Yuan does not make a request, and behind the desire and desire is often bigger.

Cao Weiguo did not hesitate at all, as soon as Tang Yuan's voice fell, he immediately opened his mouth and promised: "Tang Dong, you now hold 25% of the equity of Sina Weibo, you are the third largest shareholder of Sina Weibo, according to the articles of association, as long as you want, you can become a director of Sina Weibo at any time, and enjoy all the rights that directors should enjoy." ”

Tang Yuan bowed slightly, but he didn't say anything, but turned his head to look at Xiao Yayue beside him, and took a document prepared in advance from the other party's hand.

"Dong Cao, what you just said is a little too general."

"This list of rights is prepared in advance according to my own needs, Cao Dong can take a look, as long as Cao Dong can ensure that my rights are not violated, then I will never interfere in any management and operation affairs of Sina Weibo, and even if Cao Dong you are not at ease with me, it is not impossible for us to sign a concerted action person agreement."

Tang Yuan handed over the document prepared in advance to Cao Weiguo, and said with a smile on his face.

Cao Weiguo took the document handed by Tang Yuan, and his face was a little dignified, because in his opinion, the rights required by Tang Yuan, which had been prepared in advance in this document, would definitely not be simple, and it was even likely that most of them would touch the bottom line, otherwise why would it be worth Tang Yuan to spend billions of dollars to acquire the equity of their company.

However, when Cao Weiguo opened the document in front of him with a slightly heavy heart, he was directly stunned.

That's it?

Cao Weiguo's eyes swept quickly, and his eyes faintly revealed a little shock, although many of the rights that Tang Yuan took the initiative to ask for were beyond the scope of rights that directors could normally enjoy, but compared to the results that Cao Weiguo initially expected, it was undoubtedly much better.

The vast majority of them are rights that he can accept, and the remaining few rights that touch the bottom line a little, thinking that if Tang Yuan defects to the Ali Group, which will have an impact on the company as a whole, the lesser of the two, he gritted his teeth and is not unacceptable.

"Dong Cao, I spent so much money, just these rights should not be too much, right?" Tang Yuan looked at Cao Weiguo's changing expression: "I just promised Cao Dong that as long as Cao Dong can ensure that my rights are not violated, I will never interfere in any management and operation affairs of Sina Weibo, but if Cao Dong can't guarantee my rights, on the premise that I have already paid so many sunk costs, then I can only find someone else to talk to." ”

Tang Yuan's faint voice came into Cao Weiguo's ears, making Cao Weiguo, who was still a little hesitant, instantly calm down when he heard Tang Yuan's last vague warning.

Power has always been in the hands of powerful people.

Who is Tang Yuan?

is a person who can take billions of dollars and smash him to the point of losing his temper.

Don't look at Tang Yuan's harmony now, he looks harmless to humans and animals, if he really makes him unhappy, so he will switch to Ali Group, with the other party's vast cash flow like an ocean, with Ali Group's super dominance in the Internet field, the two sides will unite, and the Sina behind him will have no room for resistance at all.

Cao Weiguo quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and finally took a deep breath, looked at Tang Yuan and said solemnly: "Tang Dong, I agreed to your request, as long as you can always remain neutral and do not interfere in the management and operation of Sina Weibo, I assure you that as long as I am still the chairman of Sina Weibo for one day, the rights and interests you can enjoy on Sina Weibo will not change." ”

"Just right away?"

"No need to sign a concert agreement?"

Cao Weiguo's answer was a little unexpected for Tang Yuan.

"I believe that if the Tang Board of Directors keeps its promise, there will be no need for a concerted actor agreement."

Cao Weiguo waved his hand and said with a smile.

When Tang Yuan heard this, he immediately bowed slightly: "Cao Dong, since this is the case, then today's agreement should be regarded as our gentleman's agreement." ”

"Tang Dong, please ......"

Cao Weiguo picked up the wine cup in front of him and took the initiative to signal.

"Dong Cao, happy cooperation."

Tang Yuan picked up the wine bottle, poured himself a new glass of wine, and then picked up the wine cup and touched a glass with Cao Weiguo.

With the crisp sound of clinking glasses, both sides drank the wine in their glasses.

After the business was settled, the relationship between the two sides was invisibly brought closer a lot, and finally the whole meal lasted for nearly three hours before it could be over.

During this period, Cao Weiguo introduced Tang Yuan to many Sina Weibo executives, and then in front of all the executives, announced that Tang Yuan was the third largest shareholder of Sina Weibo and was about to become a director of the company's board of directors.

Soon, the news spread throughout the company......
