Chapter 373: 260 Billion
Seeing Li Daoban’s suicide note, Guo Tian seemed to be stupid.
A few months ago, I was chatting and laughing with Li Daoban. A few days ago, I even spoke to Li Daoban on the phone, but I didn’t hear him mentioning cancer. I even said it was gone!
Li Daoban was exhausted! In order for his search engine to earn more black-hearted money, he bids to promote the black-hearted hospital, kills a large number of patients and also engages in online piracy, leaving the genuine author without any income. He made a lot of money, but he was exhausted! Or he was cursed to death by the victims, it was really not worth it!
Suddenly, Guo Tian felt that he was very tired from living and had no time to spend with his family. He almost spent his life in his company.
Will he be the same as Li Daoban, one day, and he will be gone if he says nothing?
He still has many things, such as having to accompany his family yet!
Now that I am not young, if I don’t act quickly, I will have no chance in the future!
"Mr. Guo, look... Blizzard Company's acquisition of WeXun Company..." Shan Yao saw that five minutes had passed, so he asked Guo Tian again as Wang Qian's request.
"What price are you going to offer?" Guo Tian put down his phone and formally asked Shan Yao. Guo Tian didn't know why he was so angry at this time to make this decision.
Only God knows whether all this is caused by Li Daoban's suicide note or Wang Qian's "company acquisition card".
"Your company's current valuation is RMB 10 billion. Given the company's future development prospects, we are willing to give a premium of 50% and complete the acquisition of WeChat Company with RMB 15 billion." Shan Yao obviously did some homework before coming.
"Haha, 15 billion yuan? If you want to acquire Weixun Company, my psychological price will start at least 100 billion yuan." Guo Tian was obviously disdainful of Shan Yao's offer, but he did not doubt the strength of Blizzard Company.
After all, the first game produced by Blizzard Company, "Honor of the Emperor", was very successful. It is conceivable that there must be a mysterious group behind it, otherwise it would not have proposed to him the acquisition of WeChat Company. Moreover, Shan Yao had 15 billion yuan as soon as he opened his mouth, which was a typical international consortium that had made a deal.
Then the two sides began bargaining. The acquisition of a company like WeXun will definitely not be as easy as buying cabbage in the vegetable market. Negotiations will not be so easy. Under normal circumstances, the two sides will send two expert groups to discuss various issues and have to inspect each other many times.
But for some reason, it is very likely that it is the power of the "company acquisition card" or the mental shock caused by Li Daoban's death to Guo Tian. He did not arrange negotiations between the expert group and Blizzard Company, and just talked with Shan Yao in the office one by one.
Of course, Guo Tian occasionally has a faint doubt deep in his heart. Can Blizzard Company really have such a big deal?
...
"Teacher Wang, Boss Guo asked him to retain 20% of the equity, and the remaining 80% of the equity will be given to 50 billion yuan, and then he will never give up the price again. If he agreed, we can sign the acquisition contract. He only has one condition, that is, within three months after the acquisition, do not claim the acquisition to the public, and this one must also be written in the contract." Shan Yao called Wang Qian three hours later.
"Five hundred billion..." Wang Qian touched his big head.
The writer assistant can provide loans for this ‘company acquisition card’, and there is no limit on the amount. 50 billion is not a big problem. The key issue is that if the loan and interest cannot be paid in time, his health value must be deducted to compensate!
but……
WeChat companies in this life obviously did not fully exert the power of Koukou and WeChat's huge user base. You should know that Tencent, which is similar to this life in the original world, had a market value of HK$3 trillion in July 2017, which was equivalent to RMB 2600 billion.
In fact, Tencent has maintained the style that an international technology giant should have in the stock market in those years. The stock price has fluctuated and rose all the time. In the second quarter of 2017, it ranked ninth in the global market value. Although it is still half apart from Apple, the world's number one, it has already made most companies out of reach.
Of course, Tencent's development has not been smooth sailing all the way. It was also made from the quagmire of financial difficulties, and it was almost sold to Sina during this period.
Tencent was founded in 1998 in the original world. It was a magical year. Many Internet giants were born that year, such as Sohu, JD.com, Google, and of course, there are other companies that have been eliminated after time. Tencent also had a very difficult life at the beginning.
At that time, the Israelis developed a chat tool, "Who Loves" that can provide instant information on computers. Although Ma Huateng was still poor at that time, after he came into contact with "Who Loves" he felt that this thing was really great, and China should have one. So he called a few friends to open a company together, and the "Who Loves" was born from then on.
The initial slash indeed provided great convenience to Chinese netizens, and the number of registered users increased rapidly. By the end of 2000, there were tens of millions of users. But Ma Huateng was not happy. What's the use of more users? It's a big problem to not be able to cash out, and there are so many servers that don't have money to buy.
Of course, Tencent also attracted investment at the beginning. Idg and Li Zekai each invested 20%, bringing Tencent a first-round fund of $2.2 million, but the money was quickly burned out, and Ma Huateng still didn't think of a way to cash in. Later, Li Zekai and Idg thought Tencent's model was unreliable and no longer planned to pay for it. Tencent went to Lenovo, Sina, Sohu, Kingdee, and Yahoo, and no company was willing to take over.
Ma Huateng once wanted to sell it to Sina for $1.5 million. Wang Zhidong took a look and thought to himself that I spent 100,000 to make it. Now I am afraid that my intestines will regret it.
The only person who thought Tencent had potential at that time was South African MiH. The vice president of their Chinese business department was named NetDawei. He valued Tencent 60 million US dollars as soon as he came. He said that every Internet cafe has cleavages hanging on the desktop, which should be a great Internet company!
Ma Huateng, who was unsure in his heart, was shocked. Li Zekai and Idg, who were eager to find the takeover, immediately threw their hands. Li Zekai sold all the shares and idg sold 12.8%. However, Mih Group insisted until it was still a major shareholder of Tencent, becoming a legend in the venture capital circle.
In the end, it was still rich and easy to do things. Tencent, which had rich, immediately started cheating, and the number of users continued to soar. In 2003, it launched the Kowtou game, harvesting a large number of game users. By the time Tencent Holdings was officially listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Kowtou user number had exceeded 300 million, and Ma Huateng also became a rich man worth 1.7 billion Hong Kong dollars.
During this period, Tencent relied on its huge user traffic to cooperate with China Unicom to carry out SP business. Users spent monthly memberships to bring a lot of revenue to Tencent. At that time, the three popular squeak games squeak, squeak, and squeak speed made Tencent take a big step forward. Later, Tencent began to become a squeak computer manager, Tencent Weibo, WeChat, etc., and began to start a full-scale war in various fields.
Some people say that as long as the users are still there, Tencent will never fail. Indeed, Tencent’s user base is too large, and many businesses can obtain traffic from Koukou and WeChat, which allows Tencent to develop smoothly in all aspects.
Especially with the advent of the smartphone era and the development of the game industry, PC games and mobile games have become Tencent's aces. For more than ten years, Tencent has been unhurried in the global gaming field. It has invested and acquired about 50 game companies. In 2016, it spent US$8.6 billion to acquire the game company Superell, which was a big hit. Of course, there is also the mobile game "Glory of the Emperor", which is known to all Chinese people. After making a lot of money in the domestic market, it has also begun to enter overseas.
Tencent’s business territory has long expanded to multiple fields such as film and television, games, music, animation, cloud computing, etc., with the number of users of Koukou and WeChat as many as 900 million. Tencent Video and iQiyi are divided into two parts in the industry. The decline of LeTV Sports has given Tencent Sports the opportunity to rise. In addition, Tencent has investment and layout in many fields such as shared bicycles and e-commerce. Tencent will have a lot of room for growth in the future.
In the Internet era, whoever owns users will take the initiative. Tencent has a market value of HK$3 trillion, which is entirely due to 900 million users.
The WeChat company in this life is not developing well enough, the user stickiness is not enough, and the layout of 900 million users has not yet been completed, which is only about 300 million. In addition, the boss Guo Tian imitates foreign companies and has been working on platforms rather than games, film, music, animation and other industries, which makes WeChat in this life far worse than Tencent in the previous life, and many of its potential has not been discovered.
Compared with the original world's 2600 billion yuan market value, the acquisition price is a drop in the bucket!
This is a good opportunity. If we can take the WeChat company into our hands, after two years of development, in this life, we will use games, films, TV, animation, etc. to increase the stickiness of users and double the number of users. At that time, the market value will be 2600 billion, 100 billion, and 200 billion will be worth the ticket price!
Moreover, Wang Qian also has the support of the writer's assistant to help open the treasure chest, so it is unreasonable that Weixun Company is not good at running it.
Don't be timid, just do it!
"Sign the acquisition contract!" Wang Qian issued an order to Shan Yao.
Chapter completed!
