It was as expected by Zhou Ming to reach a consensus with these Hong Kong businessmen represented by Li Yunde. After all, they were almost in the Nanjiang River with Zhou Ming. In addition, when they were in the Hong Kong City, Li Cheng once asked Zhou Ming for information about Penguin, so the purpose should not be too obvious.

However, it is simple to reach an investment consensus, but it does not mean that everything will be fine. After all, investment companies are not simply treating guests to dinner, and that is an investment of five million, which is completely the same as the investments of Zhou Ming and Cao Jianning.

Zhou Ming has a good relationship with Li Cheng, but in business, since they are investing in penguins and are shareholders of penguins, it is inevitable that they will affect penguins’ decisions, and they may even stuff their own people into the company.

This is not to say that these Hong Kong businessmen want to take over the nest, but to make sure that their investments can bring profits to themselves.

Zhou Ming trusted Ma Weixun and knew that he would definitely make Penguin the country's leading Internet company in the future, and he was the richest man in the throne of penguins, so he could raise Ma Weixun and Penguin. Later, Cao Jianning invested in and thought about sending people to the penguin, but later, after Zhou Ming's strong persuasion, he gave up and strictly supervised the penguin's finances.

So now if you add the Hong Kong Merchants Group, which has no fewer shares than them, it will be even more troublesome.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhou Ming needs to make good countermeasures first, so after repeatedly communicating with Cao Jianning, Ma Weixun and Li Yunde, he finally decided to sign the agreement. Unless Penguin Company encounters a major crisis, no one can interfere with Penguin's strategic planning with any excuses.

After the agreement, Zhou Ming patted Ma Weixun on the shoulder and asked him to do it well: "Give me the penguin results, I can only help you here."

"Thank you, thank you very much Mr. Zhou Ming!" Ma Weixun choked up.

Ma Weixun was really touched. He was not a person without experience. He knew very well that any joint-stock company had to face conflicts between entrepreneurs and shareholders. Shareholders only wanted profits, but sometimes companies would have no profits or even lost money when making layouts, and the conflicts would arise.

You should know that even a few people can open a restaurant together and be dirty, let alone such a large enterprise with tens of millions of dollars.

Especially in Internet companies, some shareholders have never even thought about any development, and just want to quickly raise the company's valuation and sell the company at a good price.

But Zhou Ming did not do this, and even helped him eliminate the constraints of shareholders on him, allowing him to let go of development, which made Ma Weixun have the urge to die for his confidant.

Zhou Ming does trust Ma Weixun. After all, Ma Weixun has proved his ability in his previous life, and it is absolutely fine to let Penguin go and develop for him. However, Zhou Ming actually still kept his last move, such as agreeing to Cao Jianning and Hong Kong businessmen to supervise Penguin's financial situation, and retaining regular shareholder meetings, etc., all of which are the final insurance for Penguin to avoid overcorrection of shareholder withdrawal and power imbalance.

Simply put, Zhou Ming needs to make sure that the penguin will not take detours, or that he and other shareholders can correct him and get him back as soon as the penguin takes detours.

When determining Penguin's equity structure, Zhou Ming did not let go of his communication with Li Yijia. Even because of Li Yijia's fear of Zhou Ming, the merger plan between Penguin and iu company was even completed before the adjustment of Penguin's equity structure. After Penguin's own adjustment was completed, the merger with iu company began.

The signing ceremony was also held at the Nanhu Hotel.

This signing ceremony glared away the entire Nanjiang glasses. Not only did the mayor invite the ceremony to congratulate him, but more importantly, the signing has been less than half a month since the last time iu company acquired QC and QY companies.

The most embarrassing thing on the scene was the presidents of QC and QY companies. They thought they were acquired by iu because they were surrounded by a big tree, but they didn't expect that they would be sold after replacing the store. They were still dealt with at a low price. How could they accept this?

"I just know that such despicable means are used behind the scenes, and such a garbage company will go bankrupt sooner or later!"

The two presidents cursed fiercely, and asked their Jiyan that iu company did go bankrupt less than three months after the merger.

This is not surprising. The core technology and channels and other departments gave Penguin, and iu company only had a lot of mess left. Three months of bankruptcy was indeed a little faster. This is also related to the lack of intention to develop again and their own level is not enough. However, if you can't come up with a plan that makes people shine, iu company will only last for another year at most.

As for Penguin, after obtaining the technology and channels of QC and QY companies, Penguin's development immediately drove onto the fast lane. In just one month, the registered users of Penguin exceeded 100,000. In less than half a year, the registered users of Penguin exceeded 1 million. It was also at this time that the number of Penguin's online users exceeded 100,000.

Compared with the registered users who have a lot of moisture, the number of online users is the most important indicator that can best measure the development of penguins.

However, when the number of Penguin users is growing rapidly, there are still certain problems within it. At the regular Penguin shareholders' meeting, Ma Weixun estimated that according to the current growth, he is very confident that the number of Penguin's registered users will exceed 10 million in a year, and the number of online users will exceed one million.

"Our goal is to make using penguin chat a fashion. No matter whether you have a computer or not, at least when you use a computer, you will want to register a penguin account." Ma Weixun made his bold statement at the shareholders' meeting.

Zhou Ming and Cao Jianning and Zheng Jiancheng, who are representatives of Hong Kong businessmen, attended the shareholders' meeting. Zhou Ming and Cao Jianning had no feelings about Ma Weixun's words because they expected this, but Zheng Jiancheng couldn't help it.

"I admit that Penguin's expansion is indeed unexpected. It has a million users so quickly and 100,000 online users at the same time, which is even faster than n**. I am very happy, so should we discuss about Penguin's profit now?"

Zheng Jiancheng continued: "I looked through the financial report of Penguin Company since its establishment, and it was all in losses. Although now there are membership services, the company's main income is to establish online paging systems for the Telecommunications Bureau and other companies and create short messages and Internet IP phones. These incomes are obviously completely incompatible with Penguin's current expenditures. We must create more profit points for Penguin, such as selling advertisements and charging fees for numbers..."

Zheng Jiancheng just proposed such a plan, but immediately opposed it from Ma Weixun: "There is no charge. Now is the period of Penguin's rapid growth. Once the charges will not only slow down the pace of promotion, but may even lose the original users. This is absolutely not possible!"

Zhou Ming also disagrees with the charges: "The nature of instant messaging software is not suitable for charges. The plan I made for Penguin at the beginning was permanently free, and now it is also placed in advertisements. If the charges are charged, wouldn't it be a fraud? As for selling advertisements, it is also not advisable, because Penguin is different from others.

The only thing about Time Communication Software is its conciseness and clarity. If the advertisements are added, it will become bloated and messy, which will be bad."

Zheng Jiancheng was very upset when he said his plan and was criticized by two people: "So in your mainland words, are you learning from Lei Feng to do good things? I lost tens of millions, just to make a tool that facilitates everyone's chat?"

This time, Cao Jianning said: "Mr. Zheng Jiancheng, can't you see that Penguin Company is growing rapidly now? I think it will take less than 100 million in five years. This is the market. Will you talk about it when the market layout is completed?"

"Five years? Mr. Cao Jianning, do you mean we need to prepare at least 40 million?" Zheng Jiancheng's focus is obviously different from others. "And even after five years, we may still be on the edge of losses. This is too funny. I won't play such a boring money-burning game with you!"

Zhou Ming and Cao Jianning and Ma Weixun looked at each other, but they didn't expect that Zheng Jiancheng would say such words, because they saw this huge user base, and this is the market! But Zheng Jiancheng only saw continuous investment and could not bring any profit to himself in a short period of time.

This is not the first time Zhou Ming has dealt with Zheng Jiancheng, but before, Sir Zheng Haolong looked at him. Zheng Jiancheng's performance is not so obvious. Now, as Sir is lying in the hospital, he has his last breath. As the eldest son, Zheng Jiancheng takes over all the industries at home. After Sir Zheng's eyes are not seen, his extremely short-sighted vision becomes more and more obvious.

No wonder the Zheng family declined rapidly after the death of the old Jazz. I'm afraid the reason is that there is no such thing as the layout just now, and I'm rushing to get profits. Can't you see the possibility that the number of users will be expanded?

Shaking his head, Zhou Ming had no time to care about the affairs of the Zheng family, Zhou Ming just asked him: "Is this Zheng Jiancheng your own idea, or does it represent all your Hong Kong businessmen?"

Zheng Jiancheng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Zhou Ming said first: "I advise you not to rush to answer. It is better to go back and discuss with others first. Of course, if you really feel dissatisfied, then you can withdraw your shares individually. Tell you this way, when will you sell and when will I want it."

Zheng Jiancheng sneered: "What you say is better than what you sing. Do you want it if I sell it for three million?"

Ma Weixun was unhappy at the time: "Mr. Zheng Jiancheng, as far as I know, your investment is only 800,000, so how can you get three million?"

Although the Hong Kong business delegation was mainly Li Yunde, everyone invested in Penguin. The most was that the Li family invested two million yuan, and the remaining money was shared by other families. At that time, the representative of the Zheng family invested 800,000 yuan.

Zheng Jiancheng waved his hand and said, "Why are there no three million? Didn't you say it just now? Penguin's user base has exceeded one million users. There are so many users, so the company's valuation should be increased. I didn't call for five million or eight million, so I'm very conscientious, okay?"

There is no doubt that Zheng Jiancheng is making a big fuss. The company's valuation should be a rigorous calculation process. How can you calculate this based on registered users? Isn't this a rogue?

However, Zhou Ming smiled and said, "If Zheng Jiancheng, you are sure, I will want three million."

Cao Jianning then said, "Three million is my share."
