"Okay, don't be angry. The first overseas capital has passed bank review and entered the country. It is about 500 million US dollars. So we have enough funds to keep our 20% shares." Yang Dongxu comforted.
"But that's not..."
"I know this is making a wedding dress for Ma Fengyun, so let's let him be proud for a while." A meaningful smile appeared on Yang Dongxu's face.
Although Ma Fengyun's flirting move was a bit unexpected, it was also reasonable. After all, this is a person who, after Alibaba became stronger, could use various tricks to get rid of Yahu Yang and SoftBank who were firmly attached to him.
The sudden display of this move is certainly surprising, but it fits Ma Fengyun's coquettish position.
However, Yang Dongxu is obviously not a master who will not fight back when he suffers a loss. Originally, he thought that the stall in his hand was too big and he couldn't dig a hole anymore.
Since you can't change the habit of being greedy when you see profitable projects, then you can set up an investment department to invest money in those promising projects and do nothing but audit the accounts.
But since I was amazed by Ma Fengyun's cool moves, some plans undoubtedly need to be adjusted. For example, other investment projects still only invest money and audit accounts, but Jingdong's investment project not only invests money, but also gives more resources.
Since he can use the resources in his hands to surround Ali, there is no doubt that these resources can also be used on Jingdong. That *face-blind Ignorant Wife Mei*dong* is already very strong personally, and with so many resources as the foundation, he still has enough money in hand, so the fight with Ma Fengyun will definitely be more exciting.
And no matter how coquettish Ma Fengyun moves, as long as Yang Dongxu still controls the aircraft carrier Alipay. In the end, he had no choice but to resort to the enemy.
Ma Fengyun also saw this very clearly. But the problem now is that without Alipay, the aircraft carrier itself will collapse, so we can only remove some of the battleship gangsters arranged by Yang Dongxu from the periphery. For Alipay, we can only take one step at a time.
If Chen Daqiao took away 60 million US dollars in financing from Yang Dongxu, this was the beginning, and then Ma Fengyun dropped a nuclear bomb.
Then the subsequent various financing values of the Internet are as spectacular as the great migration of animals. In just a few months, various companies with technology titles have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
"You want to invest in Baidu?" Chen Xin looked at Yang Dongxu in surprise.
If she knew about Xuri Technology's investment in Jingdong, after all, Ma Fengyun's approach was indeed disgusting. I can understand investing in Suning, even though they are all supermarket chains.
However, Millennium is taking the path of large-scale comprehensive supermarkets, while Suning seems to be planning to follow the path of electronic appliances. Gome is so powerful now that even if you give it money, people won't accept it, so if you are optimistic about the electrical appliance industry, investing in Suning is indeed a good idea.
But she really couldn't figure out how to invest a hundred degrees. You must know that after following Yang Dongxu for so long, the two of them sometimes chatted with each other about the advantages and disadvantages of companies in various industries currently on the market. It seems that Baidu Yang Dongxu has always been disdainful, and even a little repelled and disgusted.
And while Baidu has been building its own search engine in the past two years, it has not only imitated 361’s Tieba. And it seems that they are also planning to develop web games. Someone even contacted Qiu Bosong of 361 some time ago. What he meant was that he wanted to acquire 361.
At the same time, when 361 was expanding rapidly, the two companies were still competitors when they acquired 123 Browser. So no matter what aspect of analysis, Yang Dongxu seems to have no reason to invest in Baidu.
"What does the Rising Sun Technology Investment Department do?" Yang Dongxu asked with a smile.
"I'm an investor!" Chen Xin replied.
"From an investment perspective, do you think Baidu has investment value?" Yang Dongxu continued to ask.
"This..." Chen Xin was stunned for a moment.
Then I realized that investment is a business, and the criterion for measuring whether to invest is whether you can make a profit on the investment. Not whether you like the investment.
Of course, if you have money and are willful, others can't say anything, but then you won't be a qualified businessman.
Baidu is undoubtedly a very good investment target now, after all, as the largest search engine in China. It has developed very rapidly in the past two years.
No matter how others scold you for your ad's bidding ranking, there is one thing you have to admit. They are indeed developing very well. At its peak, the market value exceeded 80 billion and was in US dollars. Even if the market value dropped later, it was still above 60 billion. This is definitely a very profitable investment.
And at this time, Baidu can only be at the level where large amounts of financing are needed to pave the way for listing. This is undoubtedly a good time to enter the market, because everyone knows that as long as it can be listed, the return on investment will be doubled.
So now it’s not a question of whether Xuri Investment likes to invest in Baidu, but why they should choose you when competing with other companies.
"Offer the highest price and try to get as many shares as possible. And we only need dividend rights, not voting rights, and we only need five years to keep the shares.
If Baidu is not willing to do so within five years, I will not sell any of my shares. And if they agree to my move, Baidu will have the first right to purchase at the same price.
But within five years, if they can’t come up with a suitable increase to buy back my shares. Then the shares in my hand will have voting rights, and I am free to do what I do with them. "Yang Dongxu told Chen Xin the general requirements for investing in Baidu.
Of course, these are the bottom line. When the time comes, we will definitely try our best to gain benefits for ourselves on the premise of holding on to hundreds of original shares. It is impossible to throw out all these trump cards as soon as they come up.
"Are you very optimistic about Baidu's development in the next five years?" Chen Xin asked a little strangely.
Because once these trump cards were laid out, Yang Dongxu's purpose became obvious. It is because Baidu will develop very well in the next five years and then let the shares in hand appreciate. Rather than rush to replace it after becoming a shareholder.
"It's not that I'm only optimistic about Baidu's development in the next five years, but I feel that I have made enough in five years, so there is no need to be too greedy." Yang Dongxu shrugged.
It will definitely not be possible to maximize this investment in five years, but Yang Dongxu feels that it is already worth it. You have your own Internet company, and it is developing well and has a good reputation. There is no need to keep following it.
"I will ask people to collect information as soon as possible and contact Baidu. How many shares do we want to get?" Chen Xin asked.
She knew that she had to adjust her mentality as soon as possible, as Yang Dongxu's lover. Everything must be centered on Yang Dongxu, who hates what he hates and likes what he likes.
But as the head of the investment department, she must have the necessary professional qualities. When considering issues, the starting point should be investment profits, not that Yang Dongxu likes this or doesn't like that.
If Yang Dongxu really hates something and doesn't want to invest in it, then as the big boss, he has veto power. But as the head of the investment department, valuable investment projects must be screened and even planned. Whether or not to vote in the end is another matter.
"The more the merrier. And as long as the investment is successful, no matter how Baidu raises money in the next three years, we will follow up to ensure that the shares in our hands will not be diluted. In other words, the Baidu shares in our hands will be the best in the next three years. Keep increasing and try not to reduce unless there are special circumstances.
Of course, this is just a general strategy, and it will depend on the situation at that time. Maybe Baidu doesn’t want others to share the cake, and we don’t know where we got the money before going public, so we want to take back our shares. As long as the price he asks is high enough, we will sell it. "
Five years is actually a rough concept, and the message conveyed is that Xuri Investment only wants to invest and make money and has no interest in Baidu’s controlling rights or share voting rights.
This is an advantage in subsequent investment negotiations. After all, as entrepreneurs, many people like to eat alone, and Boss Li is no exception. Therefore, with this advantage point, Rising Sun Investment can take the lead in competing with other investments.
As for whether to really hold shares for five years, that is a question that can be considered flexibly. Although Baidu's consent is required when the shares are sold, this is another advantage and must be written into the contract.
But if you don’t sell it, you can mortgage it! In short, there are many little tricks here, and it does not mean that there is no room for manipulation because the contract is rigid.
"I understand." Chen Xin nodded. This was undoubtedly the first investment project after the establishment of her investment department.
And it is a big project, with an investment amount of hundreds of millions. After all, as one of the largest search engines in China, it is still at a disadvantage in the fierce competition with Yahuyang. But if you want to invest in Baidu, it is obviously not possible to pay a price. After all, where is the current base volume?
"Don't put too much pressure on me. I said hello to Ye Rongrong. He will take some elite soldiers from Dongxu Technology and come over to serve as your assistants.
At that time, you only need to control the people and project review and funds. Let the professionals do the rest. We are at a huge disadvantage if we don't let them work with such a high salary. "Looking at Chen Xin's very serious face, Yang Dongxu comforted him.
"Then I'll go down and get busy."
Looking at Chen Xin leaving, Yang Dongxu retracted his outstretched hand and touched his nose in embarrassment. I originally wanted to give her a loving hug.
But Chen Xin, who seemed to know what his problem was, apparently made initial adjustments to resolutely implement the working relationship between superiors and subordinates in the company and did not want to have any close contact with him. This made Yang Dongxu feel that he had shot himself in the foot.
"Go home and take care of you." Yang Dongxu couldn't help but muttered.
Then he sat down behind his desk and pulled out a document.
Google, Oracle, Amazon... Domestic investments are now being smoothed out by Chen Xin bit by bit and then fully taken over. But these foreign investments still require his own hands.
In particular, many of the shares here are facing the same problem as when they withdrew from SoftBank - the United States will never allow a large shareholder of a large company that has even begun to enter the ranks of quasi-giants to be a Chinese.
So even if you are unwilling to do so, these shares still have to be disposed of.
