Early in the morning, after Li Rui woke up, he found that there were more than a dozen missed calls on his mobile phone.

The caller is Ma Wenxuan.

Sister Ma came to ask for help again?

Thinking of the public opinion caused on the V blog two days ago, Li Rui guessed Ma Wenxuan's purpose of coming, while gently moving away the body of Dalula who was still sleeping, and walked to the living room outside with his mobile phone before returning with a yawn.

Got the phone call.

Ma Wenxuan's voice came from the phone: "Why did you call me back!"

"Sister, I'm in Eagle Country. I didn't hear anything in the middle of the night. What happened?" Li Rui wouldn't say that he was afraid that someone would disturb the tender love between him and Dalula, so he specifically muted his cell phone.

Ma Wenxuan said: "Yesterday, Lao Cao held an internal executive meeting and announced that he would exchange 18% of his equity for Ahri's investment of 580 million yuan, and would also give Ahri an option, which would allow Ahri to increase its holdings in VBo at most in the future.

The equity reaches 30%. It may be submitted to the board of directors for a vote in the next few days.”

Li Rui was stunned for a moment.

The fact that Ah Li is interested in V-Bo has long been known to everyone in Sima Zhao's mind, and it has been widely spread in the Hua country's Internet arena.

When Li Rui first joined Xinlang's board of directors, this issue was discussed at the first meeting he attended. Six of the seven board members agreed with one person abstaining, and the abstaining person was Li Rui.

The reason given by Li Rui was that there was a conflict of interest in the social networking businesses of Credit Suisse and Ali, so he used abstention to express his attitude. In fact, Li Rui was not optimistic about the combination of Ali and VBo.

VBo approached Ahri because it had no choice but to sell itself in the absence of a clear source of income. It didn’t matter who it sold to, but what mattered was that it could make the financial statements look better so as to promote overseas listing.

For Ali, investing in VBo is just like investing in AutoNavi 91, in that it is looking for a traffic entrance to the mobile Internet.

The two of them were like a man and a woman who couldn't find a suitable partner, so they finally met someone who was a bit pleasing to their liking and willing to take a bride price, and they hit it off immediately.

As far as capital markets are concerned, this is certainly a good marriage.

V Blog has passed its most prosperous period, and the growth in performance and user numbers has reached a bottleneck period. Before finding an effective business model, V Blog first found Ali as its financial backer.

Ali brings not only investment, but also a strategic cooperation contract worth US$380 million. In the future, the two parties will cooperate in depth in account interoperability, data exchange, online payment, advertising and marketing, etc., which can bring great benefits to investors.

imagination space.

VBo will bring social e-commerce factors to Ali, import VBo user behavior data into Ali user purchase data, improve advertising accuracy and increase purchasing behavior.

This cooperation model does make sense logically, but only Li Rui knows how it actually works, which is a complete mess.

They were a chaotic couple with no relationship foundation. After they were forcibly paired together, they neither showed the wife's ability to manage the household nor increased the husband's income. Their lives were getting worse day by day, and in the end they couldn't live well.

If you go down, you can only shoot and break up.

"What do you think of this?" Ma Wenxuan asked.

Li Rui smiled and said: "How can I see? I'll see with my eyes. Lao Cao has already announced it internally and probably greeted other people on the board of directors. My vote for or against it doesn't matter.

.”

Ma Wenxuan said: "Well, that's indeed what happened. I see that Lao Cao is so confident that he must have settled the board of directors in advance. I estimate that he will call you today and ask you for face-related matters.

Views."

"I don't have any objections. I don't agree, but I don't object either. I abstain." Li Ruidao said, "Besides, since Ahli has invested in VBo, I'd better withdraw from the Xinlang board of directors."

"Why quit? Are you still not optimistic about the future of V-Bo?" Ma Wenxuan asked puzzledly.

Li Rui sighed and said: "Sister, this is not a question of whether I am optimistic about V Bo or not. In fact, Ah Li is not optimistic about it either."

Ma Wenxuan said doubtfully: "Why would Ahli invest in V-bet if he is not optimistic about it? Isn't it unreasonable for you to say so?"

Li Rui asked back: "Then can you explain why Ahli only wants 18% of the shares and not more?"

Ma Wenxuan couldn't answer.

Li Ruidao: "It's very simple. From an accounting perspective, once Ahri controls more than 20% of VBo, VBo's financial results will be reflected in Ahri's financial statements. Ahri is seeking to go public. If it has full confidence in VBo

, I think there will be good returns from investing in V Expo, so why not hold 20% of it to make its own financial report look better?"

Ma Wenxuan murmured: "What you mean is that Ahli does not think that V Expo will turn a profit in a short period of time."

Li Ruidao: "Hundreds of millions of dollars are not much for Ahri. Their acquisition of 91 Mobile Assistant can bring out a full 1.86 billion dollars! For Ahri, this is just an attempt. Success is better, failure is better."

It doesn’t matter. But it’s different for Xinlang. It can be said that V Bo has placed all Xinlang’s hopes on it, and there is no room for failure!”

Ma Wenxuan said: "I actually have some doubts. After hearing what you said, it was an enlightenment...then what do you think I should do next?"

"Stay constant to cope with all changes. Lao Cao has actually set up a good framework for V Bo's business. This time Ali's investment can give investors greater confidence and will be of great help to V Bo's next step in seeking to go public.

I suggest you stay and put Vbo on the market first. Whether you stay at Vbo or go elsewhere in the future, it will be a particularly valuable qualification," Li Ruidao.

"At least in the next few years, Vblog will be a very important public opinion position on the Internet, with irreplaceable attributes. Don't worry, I have finally accumulated so many fans, and I will definitely not give up easily. Besides, I will not give up easily."

With you as the CEO of Vbo, I will definitely do it every now and then."

"Then you still want to withdraw from the board of directors?" Ma Wenxuan asked, "Do you want to think about it again?"

"I do this out of business considerations. On the one hand, Xingrui and Ahri are direct competitors, and it is easy for them to fail to handle some interests on the board of directors. Ahri has 18% of the shares, and I only have less than 2%.

Isn't it easy to judge who will exit?" Li Rui said, "On the other hand, I am conceiving an acquisition plan. If it succeeds, I will not be able to stay on the Xinlang board of directors."

"What else do you want to acquire?" Ma Wenxuan asked in surprise.

Li Rui said calmly: "Twitter."

Ma Wenxuan understood.

If Twitter is the original version, then Vblog is the replica.

If Twitter is the star, then Vblog is the imitation show.
