Chapter 163: Increase in Shareholdings

At this time, Europe, Milan, Italy.

"Allegra, I'm warning you, don't act hot again, or I'll put you in confinement and forbid you to go out again." Donatella, the current president of Versace, was shaking with anger, but she chose to take advantage of her own daughter and Versace's future power.

There was nothing that Allegra Versace Baker could do.

In human rights countries like the West, parents are prohibited from beating or scolding minors, otherwise they will wait for the police to come to their door.

Allegra has changed since she came back from Hong Kong. Although she used to be more rebellious, she was still obedient, but now, she has become more cheerful, but more paranoid, and does not listen to others' advice at all. Especially this time Versace

Donatella and Allegra had quarreled countless times about the Asian spokesperson matter, but Allegra refused to let go, and the relationship between mother and daughter deteriorated extremely.

"Allegra, do you understand that the Chinese mainland market is an extremely unfamiliar market. Versace has been in a state of loss since your uncle was unfortunately killed. Your announcement to enter the Chinese mainland market now is a risk. Do you know! If once

If it fails, Versace will fall into a desperate situation. I can't let Versace collapse, otherwise I won't have the face to see your uncle." After all, Allegra is the real person in charge of Versace in the future, and Donatella had to explain patiently.

Since the unfortunate death of Versace, Donatella has tried her best to maintain Versace's reputation and status. But maybe it is because she cares so much about Versace's previous glory that she often restrains herself and does not dare to take any risks. And this is now

In today's diversified world, risks equal opportunities. With Versace's current predicament, Donatella really needs to reflect on her own style.

After Allegra put a large piece of steak into his mouth, he said nonchalantly, "If it succeeds, Versace will be able to turn around. The Chinese mainland market will be the global economic hotspot in the future. I believe Versace will be a great success in China."

Donatella banged her head with a headache. She didn't know why her daughter became so disobedient.

"Okay, even if you want to enter the mainland Chinese market, how can you choose the spokesperson named Li Zhiyou?" Donatella took out a stack of information and put it in front of Allegra, "She is Korean.

You are entering the mainland market, but you choose Koreans to speak for you. This is simply nonsense!"

Allegra was also stunned after hearing this. After reading the information on Li Zhiyou in front of her in detail several times, she frowned. Obviously, Allegra did not expect that Li Zhiyou, who was so fluent in Chinese, was actually Korean.

"What are you afraid of? Just let sister Zhiyou become a Chinese citizen." Allegra then thought of a way.

Donatella had another headache. She didn't know what evil possessed Allegra to force this Li Zhiyou to be the spokesperson of Versace in Asia. In the past, Versace's spokespersons were all the world's top supermodels or Hollywood superstars. How could she choose such a "

An unknown person.

Donatella frowned and looked at her daughter, not knowing how to persuade her.

Fortunately, Europe is not China. If she were in China, with Allegra's temperament, I'm afraid she would have been beaten up long ago. Why would you want such a disobedient child?

Allegra put another large piece of steak into his mouth, which was sizzling and flavorful, but the steak was cut too big. When he took a bite, the juice inside spurted out, and a few drops even splashed on the dinner plate.

Donatella frowned as she looked at it. After Allegra returned from Hong Kong, the image of the noble Versace little princess was completely gone. She looked like a common citizen, which made Donatella particularly disgusted.

"Allegra, pay attention to your image. Look at how well you look now!" Donatella shouted fiercely.

Allegra reluctantly responded and immediately returned to the elegant little Versace princess before. However, the tiny steak was tasteless in Allegra's mouth. After taking a few bites, Allegra stood up.

, "Mom, I'm full. Please take your time. I'm going upstairs first."

After saying that, Allegra left. However, when passing by the maid Monica, she secretly gave her a wink and asked her to bring the remaining steak and dessert to her room.

Allegra returned to her room, her brows filled with a haze. How could she not know the current situation of Versace? Since her uncle Versace was unfortunately killed, because she had not specially trained a successor before, and the brand "Versace"

, was founded by her uncle Versace, but the soul figure was unfortunately killed, which put the entire company in trouble, and the company's management became increasingly chaotic. In recent years, Versace has been deteriorating, although her mother Donatella has also launched cheaper Verses and Isfanteo fashions.

series, and developed a unique blonde perfume, but it was not enough to save Versace, which was sliding into the abyss.

In order to save the current Versace, in addition to launching newly designed fashions and reorganizing Versace's chaotic management structure, we also need to raise a large amount of financing. Newly designed fashions and reorganizing Versace's current chaotic management structure,

Not to mention Allegra's current worries, the only thing she can do to help now is to get a "fire-fighting" fund for Versace to help Versace get out of its current predicament of insufficient liquidity.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng appeared in Allegra's mind. I heard that he is a tycoon in China's online gaming industry. Since he is called a tycoon, he must be rich...

Back in Beijing's Houhai Yindingqiao Bar, Robin Li pondered for a moment and gave his answer.

"Director Lin, I can accept your proposal. I believe that our cooperation will be very pleasant. But I can only give you 5% of the shares at most." Robin Li has made up his mind. This cooperation is an opportunity for Baidu and an advance.

Opportunities for take-off. Google is becoming more and more sharp. Yahoo is in its prime, but Baidu is still a baby waiting to be fed. Since Baidu can have the opportunity to take off early, why refuse it? And Lin Feng is coming menacingly. If he doesn't agree, he may really fight with

This is definitely not what Robin Li wants to see when his own Baidu is working against him.

Youth is capital, this sentence is indeed true. Especially when a young man has enviable assets in his hands, it is even more scary.

Of course, Robin Li knew that with Lin Feng's appetite, he would definitely not be satisfied with this 5% share, but this is just a means of business negotiation. Bargaining in business negotiations is definitely no worse than those in the market, and even some

Nothing less.

...

After lengthy bargaining, Lin Feng finally purchased 12.5% ​​of Baidu's equity for 70 million yuan. However, in the equity transfer, Robin Li did not sell the shares in his and Xu Yong's hands, but increased his shareholding. Because he and Xu Yong

They own 65% of Baidu's shares. Their agreement represents the approval of Baidu's board of directors. This shareholding increase plan was passed without the knowledge of fdj and idg venture capital funds. Of course, a formal notice will be issued later.

Lin Feng was slightly taken aback by Robin Li's decision, but he suddenly understood it later.

Robin Li's move is to maintain his absolute controlling interest, and secondly, to take the opportunity to weaken the equity of fdj venture capital fund, and to disperse fdj and idg, as well as his own equity, which will help Robin Li's absolute controlling interest in Baidu. This

It is indeed a good game, but Lin Feng had prepared a backup plan, not to mention he was very satisfied with being able to directly obtain 12.5% ​​of Baidu's equity. Moreover, Robin Li increased the investment without the knowledge of the two venture capital funds fdj and idg.

Lin Feng believes that these two investment funds will be very dissatisfied.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate, Director Li and Mr. Xu." Lin Feng was very satisfied with today's negotiation.

"Happy cooperation!" Robin Li is also very satisfied with today's negotiation, which not only solved the company's current slow development funding problem, but also took the opportunity to weaken the share of Baidu equity held by fdj investment fund. After the share increase, now Baidu's three non-founders

The holding company does not have a decisive controlling interest, which will be of great help to him in controlling Baidu in the future.

After reaching the cooperation intention and signing the financing draft, Lin Feng rushed to the Chinese headquarters of IDG (International Data Group) in Beijing without stopping. Looking at his watch, it was 3 p.m., which was still 30 minutes away from the better time.

, the time is just right.

The 5% of Baidu shares held by idg is also the target of Lam Feng's acquisition and is within Lam Feng's plan. Of course, after Robin Li's shareholding increase plan, idg actually only has 4% of Baidu shares left in its hands.

Purchase at least 10% of the shares from Robin Li, then acquire the equity of Baidu from two venture capital funds, IDG and FDJ, and then see if it is possible to acquire the equity of Baidu employees. This is all Lin Feng's plan.

Of course, even after the acquisition is successful, Lin Feng's equity is not enough to threaten Robin Li, but it is very close. As long as Baidu raises another round of financing, Lin Feng will be able to complete the absolute control of Baidu. However, Robin Li's shareholding increase plan
Chapter completed!
