On March 9, less than two weeks after Zhuo Ziyuan invited Tong Xue to dinner, Zhuo Ziyuan received good news from Youdao Capital, which was about Penguin's equity. Zhuo Ziyuan did not expect it at all.

Within a month, Xu Ziqiang brought explosive good news. Someone actually wanted to sell his shares in Penguin, and the proportion was as high as 20%.

When Zhuo Ziyuan heard the news at first, he was simply ecstatic. He really didn't expect that someone would be stupid enough to think of selling even though he held such a high proportion of equity. This would have to be a very deceptive decision to make.

Ah. But then I thought about it, no one knew the development prospects of Penguin as well as he did. When people looked at the crisis, they naturally thought of stopping losses.

Zhuo Ziyuan had not paid attention to the development history of Penguin in his previous life. He had no idea how many times it had been financed, how many times its equity had been changed, who the major shareholder was or which capital company it was. His original plan was just

I want Xu Ziqiang not to miss any Penguin financing opportunity, no matter how high the cost or what proportion, he must win it.

However, what I never expected was that a pie would fall from the sky, with a full 20% stake. You must know that Penguin is a super giant with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars in later generations, so this 20% is equivalent to 20 billion U.S. dollars.

Just these equity stakes can allow anyone to directly enter the global rich list, let alone the Chinese rich list. But as for ranking, except for being number one, nothing else is important, right?

After calming down a little, Zhuo Ziyuan learned the specific details from Xu Ziqiang. It turned out that Penguin had a financing in 1999. The amount was not large, but the proportion of equity transfer was very large. The two companies only

With 2.2 million

They acquired 40% of Penguin's equity at the price of US dollars. This is unimaginable to Zhuo Ziyuan. If they hold it for more than 15 years, it will be a 10,000-fold return. By then, the stock god Buffett will follow this

An investment is nothing compared to it.

One of them, Yingdong Capital, is said to be an investment company established by the son of the richest man in the country. They hold 20% of Penguin's equity. Yingdong Capital's investment direction is mainly in real estate, and Penguin is the first company they invested in.

It is also the only Internet company. Unexpectedly, it appeared last year

The large-scale Internet crisis has made the son of the richest man feel pressure. An investment institution like theirs cannot be solely owned by one person. On the one hand, they need to find many people for financing, and on the other hand, they need to find more people to bear the risks. At the same time, they are facing difficulties.

In times of crisis, each shareholder can find a way out of their respective networks.

At the end of last year, they took the initiative to approach Yahu.com and wanted to sell their 20% Penguin shares for US$8.5 million. However, they unexpectedly encountered a ruthless rejection.

Yahu is currently the largest Internet company. Even now when the Internet crisis breaks out, it is still a super large company with a market value of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars. Apple and Microsoft combined are not as valuable as Yahu.

As the leader of the industry, Yahu is very arrogant. They are so arrogant that they can't even look down on Penguin, a company that has not shown any prominence. Penguin is now just a simple chat tool. Yahu has its own merger and acquisition plan, and the goals of the merger and acquisition are all

The unit is in billions, and there is no interest at all in the Penguin shares that Yingdong proactively sold.

After being rejected by Yahu, Yingdong did not give up selling Penguin's shares. Instead, it actively looked for major well-known investment companies, eager to cash out its shares, but was rejected by the major investment companies.

Yingdong's approach caused a commotion in the investment community. Everyone knew that Penguin's equity had reached the point where no one cared about it. This situation also caused another capital IDG that owned Penguin's equity to waver in disguise.

Is it necessary to sell part of the equity appropriately to ensure profits? If this adverse effect continues and Penguin goes bankrupt, all the money will be lost. Of course, Xu Ziqiang does not know this.

This is a good opportunity, and Zhuo Ziyuan definitely does not want to miss it. Under the current situation, Zhuo Ziyuan does not have to sacrifice equity rights to obtain Penguin shares. Zhuo Ziyuan did not ask Xu Ziqiang to contact Yingdong Capital immediately, but asked Xu Ziyuan to contact Yingdong Capital immediately.

He directly contacted Penguin's senior management. He believed that Penguin's senior management was very happy to see someone willing to take over this part of the equity. With such a friendship of providing help in times of need, he believed that the future relationship would be more harmonious.

Sure enough, when Xu Ziqiang contacted Penguin's senior management and expressed Youdao Capital's interest in investing in Penguin, the call was directly transferred to Xiao Ma.

Brother Xiao Ma is now helpless. The Internet crisis is not their fault. They have also suffered from the disaster. However, Yingdong's actions have made Penguin's senior management very passive and very angry.

In such a period, the market is already in turmoil, and crisis theories are spreading within the company. Yingdong's failure to sell Penguin equity is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.

Under such circumstances, Penguin's senior management is also actively looking for capital, hoping to bring in new capital as soon as possible to get rid of the current unfavorable public opinion environment, and at least to cheer up the hearts of the company's employees.

Under such a premise, Zhuo Ziyuan's opportunity came. Following the instructions from Zhuo Ziyuan, the communication between Xu Ziqiang and Xiao Ma went very smoothly. Xu Ziqiang only made two requests in total. The first was to ask the Penguin management to help deal with Yingdong.

Putting pressure on the company, the price was lowered to US$8 million. Second, it required signing a supplementary agreement with Penguin. Youdao Capital would have priority in Penguin’s subsequent financing process.

For these two conditions, Xiao Ma didn't have to think about it and agreed without hesitation. As long as they have confidence in the company, investment companies will basically make such a request for the second request. There is no problem with the first request.

Yingdong's approach has angered the Penguin management, and it is natural for them to pay a price. And even if it is transferred at a price of 8 million, Yingdong's investment has expanded seven times in just one and a half years, which is considered

It is a very successful investment and a good account for both parties.

The speed of the three-party negotiation is very fast. One is willing to sell, the other is willing to buy, and the other is trying his best to promote it in the middle. If such a relationship cannot be reached, then there is probably no business in the world that can be reached.

Therefore, all the terms were negotiated in just three days. Lu Tao was also very happy. As soon as their Dongdu Law Firm was registered, they received a large equity transfer contract, which was a good start.

In order to boost the company's morale and relieve the pressure of external public opinion, Xiao Ma proposed to make this equity transfer more public. He hoped that this equity transfer could be made public and hold an equity transfer press conference.

At that time, please ask some familiar journalist friends to promote it in the media.

This is also understandable, and it is more conducive to the development of the company. It is conducive to the company's development, which is beneficial to Zhuo Ziyuan's benefits. Of course, Zhuo Ziyuan has no reason to oppose it.

Zhuo Ziyuan is also preparing to participate in the signing ceremony of this equity transfer. The purpose is to know the little brother and get familiar. As for the press conference, Xu Ziqiang has come forward. He is not ready to go to the stage.

, Too high -profile, easy to absorb hatred value.

In order to make up Zhuo Ziyuan, the press conference was set on March 17, and 10 am on Saturday.

On Friday night, as soon as she got out of school, Zhuo Ziyuan took Li Xinyuan to rush the plane. They had to fly directly from Longcheng Airport to the deep city. At 9:30, they were 8 o'clock when they arrived at the airport.

After entering the waiting hall, Li Xinyuan couldn't sit still and walked around everywhere. This is Li Xinyuan's first plane. He is curious about everything. After all, he is still a child.

"Brother, you see, there is an airplane over there, and there is an airplane over there." Li Xinyuan lay on the railing, excitedly.

Looking at Li Xinyuan's happiness, Zhuo Ziyuan used to take out his mobile phone and prepare to help her take a few photos. As a result, I found out that it is not compared to one of the basic functions of the mobile phone in the future.

And no one goes out with the camera on the body.

Zhuo Ziyuan regretted Li Xinyuan. For the first time, he took a plane and had no chance to leave an image.

"Yuan'er, okay, you also ran around, come and sit down." Zhuo Ziyuan looked at Li Xinyuan, who was still walking around, and couldn't help calling her.

"Oh." Li Xinyuan hadn't passed yet, sitting in the position, and watching everywhere.

"Brother, I didn't expect that the plane was so big. How can you say that such a large aircraft can fly to the sky?"

"Fly the principle of flying with the bird." Zhuo Ziyuan was not sure if there were more theories for flight flight.

"Oh, then you said, will the birds hit the bird during the flight?"

"Uh, there should be this probability ... Who knows." Zhuo Ziyuan was speechless again, we will get on the plane right away, you tell me if it will collide with the bird.

"What would happen when you hit the bird? The plane should fly quickly, will the plane hit a hole?"

"Uh, it should be theoretically, but birds generally avoid the plane, but it's not a silly bird."

"How dangerous the plane is." After excitement, Li Xinyuan began to worry.

"Rest assured. According to relevant data statistics, flying plane is the safest way of transportation, which is safer than car train. Well, we will take off right away.

Ok? "Zhuo Ziyuan decided to interrupt this topic, and she was shaking a bit.

"Okay." Li Xinyuan was honest and didn't speak anymore.

After sitting for a while, both of them were boring. Now it is not like later generations. Smartphones are almost one, and the notebooks are very popular. They can take out to watch movies, play games, and now stay at the airport.

The flight is notorious, and I don’t know how long it will take.

Since rebirth, he has rarely done anything for such a long time. He has some uncomfortable. Zhuo Ziyuan was really boring. He ordered two cups of coffee at the airport cafe, sat in it to rest, and took some magazines to pass the time.

It was hard to wait until boarding. It was already 10 o'clock. This should be regarded as a standard red-eye flight, Zhuo Ziyuan couldn't help but think.

They bought business class. Zhuo Ziyuan could feel wronged to himself, but he didn’t want to feel wronged to Li Xinyuan, and since he was rich, he still had the right to enjoy this. Today’s business class is not as luxurious as later generations, and the economy class has three seats connected together.

, there are only two business class cabins, not only the left and right spaces are large, but also the front and rear spaces are much larger, so you can sleep down there, that's all.

Li Xinyuan sat by the window. During the flight of the plane, she did not look at the scenery outside the window. Since it was night, most of the time she saw nothing but darkness. However, the stars were much clearer. Sometimes she could see when she looked down.

You can enjoy the bright lights of the city, but now the domestic nightlife is not that rich.

As soon as Zhuo Ziyuan got on the plane, he began to close his eyes and meditate. This was a habit he had had in his previous life. Domestic flights were not allowed to open electronic devices at all. Unlike overseas, they could use airplane mode and open laptops to watch movies and so on.
