Chapter 324: Jingdong and Penguin
Lin Feng did not expect that Zhang Shi actually raised the valuation of Dangdang.com to one billion US dollars. When Lin Feng heard the news, Gaoling Capital had already signed a share transfer agreement with the shareholders of Dangdang.com.
Originally, Lin Feng thought that with Ding Wei helping to watch Gaoling Capital, Zhang Shi should not dare to do anything randomly.
But Zhang Shi did not do anything randomly, but what he did disappointed Lin Feng.
Although Lin Feng said that he would take over all the shares of Dangdang.com's third round of financing, he never said that he would have to be valued at one billion US dollars.
If Lin Feng remembers correctly, when Dangdang.com was listed in M Country, its valuation was only more than one billion US dollars. Even if it rose by 50% on the day of its listing, it would only be more than two billion US dollars.
Now Zhang Shi is now valuing Dangdang.com with one billion US dollars. Two years later, when Dangdang.com was successfully listed in M Country, would it be priced at 5 billion US dollars?
But if it is not as high as the valuation and only earns several times the profit in two years, why did Lin Feng invest in this company?
Especially when Lin Feng heard that the institutions that left Dangdang.com cashed out and made hundreds of times the profits, Lin Feng wanted to pull Zhang Shi to beat him. Why did the future private equity bosses have no judgment?
But now that the situation is complete, Lin Feng can only think of a way to make Dangdang.com an IPO worth tens of billions of yuan in the past two years. Otherwise, Lin Feng would feel sorry for his title as the King of Investment.
The reason why Lin Feng only knows the result now is that he has been busy with Starry Sky Logistics for the past half month.
Although Lin Feng has handed over all the Starry Sky Logistics to Hou Long, Hou Long still has to manage Gome and Suning, and he has not spent much energy on Starry Sky Logistics.
Fortunately, as Gome and Suning's merger and acquisition have entered the final stage, the handover should be officially completed in the next few days, and the name Gome can finally become a past tense.
Fortunately, Lin Feng had already greeted BYD before, otherwise he would not be able to get so many cars for Lin Feng in such a short time.
There is no difference in appearance between the express delivery cars provided by BYD and the express delivery cars that went down the wind in later generations.
Currently, 500 cars have been handed over, while Lin Feng needs 5,000 cars, so for a long time in the future, BYD's factories will work hard to produce this express car.
At the same time, Lin Feng also asked BYD to assemble an electric tricycle that was often used by couriers in later generations. At this time, the lithium battery that BYD has been researching can finally come in handy.
The powerful battery life of lithium batteries can satisfy the couriers rushing around the streets and alleys in the city.
In addition to using express delivery vehicles, Starry Sky Logistics also adds air transport.
Lin Feng has already negotiated with the company boss of Yangzi Express in Binhai in the past few days and has long been renting the Boeing 747 passenger plane that their company just bought from Country M to transport the cargo.
When Lin Feng visited the Boeing 747, he suddenly thought that when the Starry Sky Logistics became bigger, he would also buy his own aircraft, so that he would meet the high standards of Starry Sky Logistics.
When Starry Sky Logistics officially started, many users who bought electrical appliances at Gome and Suning immediately reported that logistics was very fast and shopping felt good.
Mr. Huang, who was on the wind, immediately received some information about Starry Sky Logistics on the first day of Starry Sky Logistics operation.
Although Mr. Huang could not find some core things about Starry Sky Logistics, it was still easy to find some ordinary information.
Looking at the data in his hand, Mr. Huang's face slowly appeared solemn.
He had thought that even if Lin Feng was engaged in logistics, he was just a fancy, and would have no impact or threat to him at all.
However, he found that Starry Sky Logistics had gained a good reputation on the first day of operation, most of which were fast logistics speed and good courier service.
Mr. Huang felt that what Starry Sky Logistics did was what he wanted in his heart. He had been thinking about how Shunfeng would develop in the future. Today, after seeing the evaluation of Starry Sky Logistics, he suddenly had an idea in his heart.
Mr. Huang also decided to be a courier company with fast delivery speed and good service attitude.
At the same time, JD.com's Zhang Dong also obtained information about users' evaluation of Starry Sky Logistics.
Zhang Dong did not expect that after Lin Feng had already invested in JD.com, he would still have to develop his own logistics company.
And he also had the same idea as him, establishing partition warehouses and urban distribution systems across the country. Seeing this, Brother Dong's heart suddenly became angry.
He felt that Lin Feng was plagiarizing his creativity nakedly, and there was no evidence.
But the big sword in his heart could no longer bear it, and he was already hungry and thirsty, and he was about to draw it out.
But thinking of Lin Feng's strength, Brother Dong could only suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart.
Now he can only compete with Lin Feng for speed, and seize more market share in front of Lin Feng.
After all, Starry Sky Logistics relies on Gome and Suning, while JD Logistics relies on JD Mall. On the surface, both sides are evenly matched and tied.
But Dong Ge knew that once the merger and acquisition of Gome and Suning were completed, it would definitely surpass JD.com.
Now Brother Dong needs to find an ally, Brother Dong quickly noticed Penguin Company.
Previously, Penguin Company cooperated with Gome and Suning after its failure in e-commerce, but Dong Ge found that the relationship between Penguin Company and Lin Feng was not as harmonious as it appears.
Brother Dong felt that with the chips in his hands, he should be able to find "Penguin Horse" to have a good chat about life and ideals.
So Dongge immediately asked the Penguin's boss Ma to have a meal and golf together.
Lin Feng was not clear about Brother Dong’s actions at all. After all, Starry Sky Logistics has just started operating, and Lin Feng still has many problems to deal with.
After solving the problem of vehicles and couriers in the early stages of Starry Sky Logistics, Lin Feng’s next step is to solve the problem of Gome and Suning establishing warehouses across the country.
If you want to quickly deliver the items placed by users to customers, in addition to the fast delivery speed, the closer the warehouse is to the customer, the better.
Lin Feng has already thought about establishing five major regional warehouses across the country, so that no matter where the customer is, Xingkong Logistics can deliver the goods to the customer in the shortest time.
And this matter is about Hou Long again. Lin Feng asked Hou Long to start laying out the warehouse after the handover between Gome and Suning.
Hou Long was shocked when he heard that Lin Feng was going to build five large warehouses in China. He also heard that Lin Feng had to build more than two thousand starry sky logistics outlets in more than two hundred prefecture-level cities in addition to five warehouses, and was completely shocked.
"Boss, if Starry Sky Logistics is directly fully deployed, it will require a lot of funds."
"Or can our outlets join the franchise method?"
Lin Feng frowned and said, "Can you guarantee that those franchise outlets will treat every express delivery well?"
"If a customer receives a broken courier, what do you think is his mind?"
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Hou Long said with a wry smile: "But, more than two thousand outlets have been established at once, it really requires a lot of money."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about money anymore. Just do it as I said."
Seeing that Lin Feng's attitude was so firm, Hou Long had to make arrangements according to Lin Feng's wishes.
After Hou Long left, Lin Feng immediately called Feng Nuo.
"Fonno, transfer me $2 billion to Starry Sky Logistics account immediately."
Feng Nuo said with a wry smile: "Boss, if you transfer $2 billion, your account will be almost out of money."
When Lin Feng heard that his account had no money, he was stunned.
"Didn't there be five billion dollars before?"
Feng Nuo said: "There was indeed five billion US dollars before, but the boss transferred one billion US dollars to Gaoling Capital."
"I transferred a billion US dollars to Starry Sky Logistics."
"I also transferred 5 billion yuan to Binhai University."
"After counting, there are only more than 2 billion US dollars left. Now if you transfer $2 billion, you will really have several hundred million US dollars left."
After listening to Feng Nuo's report, Lin Feng's brows suddenly collapsed. Unexpectedly, he, the richest man in China, did not have much money.
No one believes it if you say it out.
"Transfer $2 billion first. By the way, has my 50 billion loan been received?"
Feng Nuo said: "That 50 billion international loan will take some time. The procedures are a bit troublesome, but it is soon."
Lin Feng said: "You can follow this loan. By then, the money will be in place, and our financial pressure will not be so urgent."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng stood up and walked to the window.
Looking at the clear sky outside the window, Lin Feng's originally depressed mood suddenly improved a lot.
I saw that the office building not far away was already capped, and I knew it would be open soon.
"I don't know if Ye Shanshan asked if the office building is sold."
Lin Feng said to himself, but just after he finished speaking, he realized that there was not much money in his account, so Lin Feng suddenly smiled bitterly.
I have no money anymore and am still thinking about the office building built by others that is more than one billion dollars.
Looking at the towering office buildings, Lin Feng finally understood why so many people like to build so many high-rise buildings, because humans are full of yearning for such high-rise buildings from the bottom of their hearts.
At Pengcheng Penguin Company Building, Penguin Horse boss looked at Zhang Dong sitting opposite him with an unimaginable smile on his face.
"Mr. Zhang, don't know what you are asking me for?"
Boss Ma picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Zhang Dong, then put down the teapot and looked at Zhang Dong with a calm face.
Zhang Dong picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked at Boss Ma.
"I know Mr. Ma has a persistence in e-commerce. If we can join forces, we will definitely be able to make a big career in e-commerce."
Boss Ma pushed his glasses and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, we are not children anymore, so don't say such empty words."
"If you are really sincere, just talk about your conditions."
Zhang Dong smiled and said, "Our JD.com company already accounts for 20% of the market and has also established a complete logistics and distribution system. The supply market established by your Penguin company can just complement us."
"And we also need your Penguin's huge users."
Boss Ma looked at Zhang Dong and asked, "According to Mr. Zhang, our cooperation is indeed very beneficial to you, JD.com, but what exact benefits can our Penguin Company get?"
"Mr. Zhang, you should know that our Penguin Company has invested heavily in e-commerce before, but the results are not very good."
"Does Zhang always want to tell me that our Penguin Company and your JD Company can change the previous situation by cooperating with you?"
