Chapter 89 Penguin who wants to buy a fox

There are very few people who are willing to give up high-quality potential stocks. Those Ye Dongqing has recently come into contact with are all slightly larger fish in a fishing net.

For example, Google, Yahoo executives have even had the idea of ​​spending $5 billion to acquire it this year. The valuation is higher than Amazon, which has been listed. With the increasing performance and users, it is still growing at an almost crazy rate.

In this case, unless there is really no money, who would be willing to sell its shares early and develop according to this trend, they don’t know how much money they can make in the future, but the probability of profit is relatively high. Many top Wall Street investment banks and fund companies have set their sights on it. There are more wolves and fewer meats, and Ye Dongqing can’t compete with them.

The reason why I couldn't go to Seattle was because MIH Group and Boni Ma unexpectedly came to him and wanted to talk to him about financing.

With a valuation of $220 million, he hopes to raise a total of $50 million from him. If he loses it, he is not very happy to accept it. With this number, Boni personally called to discuss the matter. He is preparing to initiate an acquisition to use the funds to merge a small company called "Sohu" and start entering the portal field.

According to Boni Ma, the company is currently listed on Nasdaq with a market value of more than US$110 million. It is recently interested in selling a large number of shares and can even complete the delisting work. Boni hopes to complete the acquisition by stake and cash.

Flying Ye Dongqing's "butterfly wings", history began to change. Considering that the number of QQ users exceeded 100 million, the portal can of course be done, but it still needs to be considered. After all, it involves 50 million US dollars, which is definitely not a small number.

After the call, he immediately turned on his computer and searched for content about Sohu. As a company listed on Nasdaq, the English version of the financial report must be included.

After watching for a long time, I finally got a clear understanding of Sohu's company. For example, on the first day of listing in July 2000, the stock price reached a high of over 13 US dollars, and soon plummeted again. It is currently only hovering around 2.6 US dollars, and has almost been given up by investors.

It was baptized by the collapse of the Internet bubble as soon as it was listed. Now, Sina, Sohu and NetEase, which are listed on Nasdaq, have become brothers in distress, and their capital flows are in trouble. Sina has begun to rise slightly recently, and the other two are still the same.

Tencent's current valuation is not as high as US$220 million, but as long as it can get a large share, this number is not unacceptable. What really makes Ye Dongqing anxious is that he does not know whether Tencent will become the Tencent he knows after acquiring this company. The early stage of development is a critical stage, and a little change may affect the future trend.

After all, I still don’t know the Internet companies on the other side of the Pacific. If it were Google, Facebook, Netflix and other things, Ye Dongqing knew their development history and where their profits were.

Although Boni didn't say it, he might have guessed that he wanted to take the reverse acquisition (backdoor listing). This flexible listing method existed decades ago. I guess he encountered some trouble on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. When he participated in the roadshow, I heard people mention the fact that he would not be able to go public in the near future.

In addition, after financing, Ye Dongqing can only own passive equity, which is also a problem that has to be considered.

Passive equity means that no matter how many shares are occupied, even 99% of them cannot forcefully interfere with the company's decision-making and operations. Other shareholders can decide how to develop and enjoy the benefits and losses brought by just equity.

As for the 50 million US dollars, Ye Dongqing had some money on hand. With the money-making ability of the Tamsui Fund Company, the rest would definitely be able to get it in ten days and half a month. The only question to consider is whether to agree to the other party.

Judging from the performance of MIH Group, this company is probably worried and is only willing to spend 20 million US dollars. Last time he came into contact with Ye Dongqing, he was tough and changed his mind a little quickly.

As a businessman, there are too many startups that have good prospects but have died in the middle. No one wants to put all the eggs in the same basket. Even though Ye Dongqing knows that Amazon will be popular, she has invested in Netflix and Apple's stocks to hedge risks...

************************

No matter how good Tencent is, it is all someone else's company, and Facebook is the "own son" created by Ye Dongqing.

He has no ability to interfere in specific development work, and he has so much knowledge in his mind. He knows nothing about programming and development, and is only responsible for product positioning, company management and other aspects. After nearly two months of development work, more than 20 programmers from FB company finally recognized this beta version and prepared to open a new round of testing to the public.

Originally, it would be enough for a month, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. During this period, the employees often came up with new ideas. Ye Dongqing also discussed with Mr. Alfred House every now and then, adding some new things to it to make the product more complete, at the cost of more than ten thousand dollars in cash, and soon spent more than two million dollars.

Zhao Liuli will remove the stitch tomorrow, which will affect whether the girl can see things again. Ye Dongqing is a little nervous. The two have been "reunited" for more than a month, and their relationship has only improved a little. Apart from the days when they ran to Xiangjiang, they actually didn't spend much time together.

After staying in the orphanage for a long time, this had some impact on Zhao Liuli, and it was difficult to accept him easily. In addition, due to his young age, it was not surprising that there was a barrier.

After going to the hospital to deliver the meal, Ye Dongqing drove to the new building next to the park. He unexpectedly saw Paul Kutcher also, and said in surprise: "Will you actually come to work in the company?"

"The students from Harvard and Stanford just attacked the website and tried to change the beauty pageant rankings. It seems that those little guys have a lot of opinions. I will improve the firewall and leave immediately." Paul has no good feelings for Ye Dongqing, who has threatened him, and is willing to help for the sake of money.

Last week, he placed the information of more than 40 college students stolen, together with his names and photos, and began to let students from these schools vote spontaneously. The beauty pageant was named "Who is the Queen of the School?" and only photos of women were placed. Men were excluded, and the information ranked low every day was deleted. Recently, the competition has become increasingly fierce.

According to Ye Dongqing's idea, there is a melee on campus now, and the three most beautiful girls in each school will compete for the "Queen of the United States" together.
