"Boss, are you here?" Tang Yan was surprised, but it seemed that he had expected it.

"Yes," Li Jianghe looked at Tang Yan, "Thank you for your hard work during this period."

"What's the matter? I've made a lot of money during this period," Tang Yan smiled and said, "How can there be a good thing that can be obtained without work."

"How is the talk?" Li Jianghe asked.

"There is no problem with the publishing house. As long as you give money, you can get anything." Tang Yan curled his lips, "It's just that I have special requirements for the published papers, so I went to talk specifically."

"What about the essay contest?" Li Jianghe and Tang Yan sat down.

"The specific statistics are here." Tang Yan was ready to open the drawer and took out a small stack of reports. "In general, it's very good. The number of registered people in the forum increased by 23% year-on-year, and the activity level has also increased significantly."

Now Li Jianghe couldn't help but look at Tang Yan a few more times.

Just as the ancients said: "When you encounter a storm, you will turn into a dragon." Tang Yan showed his ability after getting the opportunity. Well, Li Jianghe felt that this comparison even seemed unfair to Qian Hua.

"Yes," Li Jianghe nodded in approval, then put the report in his bag and said, "Let's go, Lao Tang, let's go out for some tea and talk about something."

"Are you treating me?" Tang Yan squeezed his eyes.

"Hahaha, I'll invite me. Not only will I invite you to have tea, but I will also give you a raise." Li Jianghe and Tang Yan tidied up the table slightly, and then walked out side by side.

In the tea room.

"That's all," Li Jianghe said about the reader's idea, and then sipped a sip of tea to moisten his throat. "Now, the burden on you is very heavy."

"Well", Tang Yan pondered for a while, and didn't care about the particularity of drinking tea. He picked up the teacup and drank it all, just like drinking a big green stick at a barbecue stall, and then said: "I can try it, but I have a few requirements."

"Tell me," Li Jianghe said sincerely: "But it's okay to say it."

"First of all, the team needs to expand recruitment, and I have to decide who to recruit," Tang Yan was not polite. "Secondly, the forum now needs to be changed drasticly. It is difficult to improve user stickiness by relying solely on these things. Moreover, I hope this forum can be independent from the pioneer bookstore business."

"Yes", Li Jianghe is a boss who is the boss who is the boss who believes in his subordinates, only grasps the general direction and does not play any micro-jobs.

He also saw that Tang Yan was not obedient, hardworking and able to live in a long life, and Qian Hua could not "suppress" him at all.

Even if Tang Yan doesn't say it, he will still separate the business.

"Is there any more?" Li Jianghe asked again.

He stroked the teacup and waited for Tang Yan to speak.

"Also, if possible," Tang Yan hesitated a little, and said, "Actually, I suggest to acquire the banyan tree."

"Oh?", this was something Li Jianghe didn't expect, "Why? It seems that it has nothing to do with what we are going to do?"

As mentioned earlier, under the banyan tree, it is already looking for a buyer for various reasons.

It is very close to the change of flags and flags of this once-prosperous literary portal.

In fact, after selling it to Bertelsmann, the banyan tree was getting worse every day, and it did not rejuvenate a second spring.

"Because I think that what we lack now, whether it is user stickiness or content output, is under the banyan tree. It can be said that it is a very strong level in China and is very famous. No matter whether the acquisition is successful or not, it can warm up our next actions." Tang Yan changed his comfortable posture and continued: "And to be a community, to be precise, what I want to do is socialize. Under the banyan tree is undoubtedly a gold mine, and there are many things to dig."

"You have thought of this long ago?" Li Jianghe suddenly asked.

"I thought about it, but I just got to know each other," Tang Yan explained: "After all, who does literary websites don't stare at the banyan tree? But before that, I felt that the company had no reason to acquire the banyan tree, but now it has it."

Li Jianghe had never thought about this before. Although someone had mentioned the matter under the banyan tree before, he left it behind, "But the price..."

"I have a friend who said that he was in contact with Bertelsmann under the banyan tree, and the offer was above tens of millions of US dollars," said Tang Yan.

"Do you have many friends?" Li Jianghe joked, and he spread his hands, "Millions of dollars, such a big deal, Lao Tang, you can't afford it when I look at my little arms and legs."

"Greed is not enough to swallow an elephant", Tang Yan decisively said: "But the company must be greedy."

Li Jianghe reexamined Tang Yan again, "You are so arrogant."

"After all, it's not my money," Tang Yanle said: "I've also enjoyed my mouth."

"Can you not be so honest?" Li Jianghe's mouth twitched.

"It's not just a mouth-absorbing, it's possible," Tang Yan said: "I have read the newspaper before and reported some examples of small fish eating big fish, but I'm not a finance person, so I don't know how it can be done."

In corporate mergers and acquisitions, the operation of "snake swallowing elephant" is indeed not rare. The more well-known ones are Geely's acquisition of Volvo, Lily.com's acquisition of Century Jiayuan, and HNA's series of operations.

Of course, it is quite complicated to say, but the source of funds is mostly just bank borrowing, issuing bonds, and financing, and relying on leverage to "hardly" pry.

There is no free lunch in the world. Leveraged M&A is a high-debt merger and acquisition, which is easy to get rid of.

It’s like borrowing money to throw dice. Only by making a big profit can you pay back the money.

Li Jianghe really knew this. Although he didn't know the specific operation, the teacher talked about leverage mergers and acquisitions before he changed his first year of freshman year.

If this kind of high debt is used to play, Li Jianghe must have been very cautious, but now he has decided to "lose money and make a lot of money". It seems that playing with leverage is not so challenging to be a heartbeat.

"Can your friend contact Mr. Zhu under the banyan tree?" Li Jianghe spoke.

"Boss, you have more courage than me," Tang Yan gave a thumbs up, "This is really your money. I'll go back and ask, usually, Boss Zhu is an interesting person. I think you should be able to talk to you."

Boss Zhu is a "business genius". His life is to start a business and succeed continuously, but he still can't persevere, and in the end he has not become a truly "successful enterprise".

"Then you go and ask," Li Jianghe shook his head, "I hope you can fool users and have the ability to fool me."

"I will never fool you, I will definitely learn it now." Tang Yan was in a good mood, and he was winking.

"Go and go, like anyone who has never seen a sketch," Li Jianghe waved his hand.

"Boss, just be tempted by your courage, you can accomplish great things," Tang Yan smiled.

"Go and do your business quickly. No employee or boss said that." Li Jianghe moved his body and his legs were numb.

"So you are the boss who can do big things," Tang Yan finally flattered.
