I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 549 Opportunity to buy bottom!

Ding Lei arrived at the Eternal Network on time the next day.

Before he came, Lin Xiao, Brother Xiao Ma and others were watching the NBA text live broadcast on Gengu.com.

Although it was a text live broadcast, according to Lin Xiao's suggestion, some GIF pictures were occasionally inserted.

Therefore, it is much more vivid than the text live broadcast in the early days of the previous life, so the effect is also very good.

After two days of going online, Gengu.com has attracted a group of users. Coupled with the preheating of Gengu.com's main promotion, the game between the Raptors and the 76ers was already very popular, so the number of viewers today is very good.

In the comments below, apart from saying that the game was wonderful, they just praised Genuwang.com.

I not only praise Gengu.com for its innovation, but also thank Gengu.com for providing such a good platform.

"In the past few days, we can arrange more reports on the game between the 76ers and the Raptors, focusing on the match between Effison and Carter."

Lin Xiao walked out and said to Xu Chenye.

Xu Chenye nodded. He had just listened to Lin Xiao's words and paid attention to the comment area, and found that the focus of discussion was indeed on the two major players.

Talking while walking, several people soon arrived at the reception room.

Seeing Ding Lei, Lin Xiao greeted him, "Mr. Ding, long time no see."

Lin Xiao didn't have any hatred for Ding Lei because the other party had used instant messaging software before.

It's all for the business expansion of their own company, and Eternal Network is also working on a portal website.

Although peers are enemies, normal competition will not affect the relationship between them.

"Boss Lin is blaming me for not coming to visit earlier?" Ding Lei responded with a smile.

At this time, two old acquaintances, Ma Ge and Ding Lei, also said hello.

Several people entered the reception room together. After sitting down, Ding Lei took the initiative to say to Lin Xiao: "Boss Lin, you are really good at making products. Only a few days after the launch of the ancient Internet, the popularity has picked up."

Before Lin Xiao could speak, Ding Lei added: "The key is that the positioning is also very accurate, which matches your own QQ users very well."

Hearing that Ding Lei came up was a burst of praise, Lin Xiao was surprised.

Even if at this stage, Gengu.com does not have a positive competition with NetEase in terms of users, but both are portal websites after all.

Although Ding Lei didn't say belittle NetEase himself, but now he keeps saying that Gengu.com is good, which is too confusing for Lin Xiao.

Just when Lin Xiao was thinking this way, Ding Lei continued: "Mr. Lin, since Gengu.com has entered the field of portal websites, it should not be content to just face the current QQ users."

Lin Xiao smiled slightly, but did not answer.

Gengu.com is positioned as a portal website for young people, but as soon as it scales up, of course the content will be more substantial and the users will be wider.

Even if the main positioning remains unchanged, other sections will be gradually refined, and then the user base will be expanded.

Seeing that Lin Xiao didn't answer, Ding Lei suddenly asked:
"Mr. Lin, are you interested in acquiring NetEase?"

"..."

Lin Xiao looked at Ding Lei inexplicably in surprise. He never expected that Ding Lei's purpose was here after he circled around.

But when Ding Lei said this, Lin Xiao remembered that in his previous life in 2001, Ding Lei had indeed thought about selling NetEase. It seemed that the price had been negotiated, but in the end he failed to make a deal.

After that, NetEase was exposed to financial problems when its stock price continued to fall, and was directly suspended by Nasdaq.

When Lin Xiao was thinking here, Brother Ma asked in surprise, "Ding Lei, do you want to sell NetEase?"

"To be precise, it is the NetEase shares in my hand." Ding Lei explained at this time.

"I still hold 53% of NetEase shares in my hand."

Lin Xiao was not too surprised after hearing this data. Among the several major portal websites, Ding Lei holds the most shares in the company.

In fact, it is not just a portal website. Among the major domestic Internet companies in the previous life, Ding Lei was the founder with the largest shareholding.

Even after more than ten years, Ding Lei still holds more than [-]% of NetEase's shares, while people like Lao Ma and Xiao Ma only hold more than [-] to [-]% of the shares in the company.

"Why did you think of finding Gengu Network to sell NetEase?" Lin Xiao couldn't help asking curiously.

After listening, Ding Lei adjusted his glasses, and said: "On this occasion today, I don't talk so much nonsense, let's say something from the bottom of my heart."

As he said that, Ding Lei's tone changed to a little helpless: "The biggest point is that I don't know how to go next."

"The cold winter of the Internet is still going on, Mr. Lin should be able to see that all Internet companies in China are having a very difficult time, and NetEase is the same."

"Our current advertising expenses are not enough to support the company's operations, but we can't find other channels for the time being, so the company has been losing money and cannot make a profit."

Ding Lei said, looking at Lin Xiao, "But Mr. Lin is different. Mr. Lin, you are the most profitable person in China's Internet industry. I believe that if the portal is in your hands, you will definitely be able to make money."

"Netease was founded by me alone, and I have devoted a lot of effort to it. If someone can take it to a better future, it will be regarded as fulfilling my wish."

After hearing this, Lin Xiao shook his head slightly and said, "Boss Ding, these are just your perceptual thoughts."

"Why should I acquire NetEase? What are the benefits of acquiring NetEase for me?"

"Of course!" Ding Lei replied immediately.

"I just said that since Gengu.com has chosen to enter the field of portal websites, I think Mr. Lin is definitely not satisfied with only targeting young people. It will be a matter of time before the user group of Gengu.com needs to expand."

"And NetEase now has a group of such fixed user groups. If Eternal Networks can acquire NetEase, then the two parties will be able to complement each other."

"When the development reaches a certain stage, the merger of the two websites or the compatibility of other modes, I think it will not be difficult for Mr. Lin.

At that time, the top spot of domestic portal websites will be from Eternal Network. "

Ding Lei spoke very bewitchingly, but Lin Xiao was not moved, but said lightly:
"The portal website is not the main product of Eternal Networks, and we have no interest in whether we will sit on the top of the domestic portal website or not."

"You several portal websites are fighting over who is the number one. Now it seems that each of you is suffering more and more."

"..." Hearing this, Ding Lei's mouth twitched slightly, but he was speechless.

I'm so worried!

In terms of living well, it is true that none of the major portals can compare with Eternal Network.

After a few seconds of silence, Ding Lei continued: "But this is only temporary, as I just said, if the portal website is in your hands, Mr. Lin, and there are good ways to make money, it will be completely different. "

"NetEase is now a listed company. Once it turns losses into profits and the Internet comes out of the cold winter, the company's stock price and market value are entirely likely to rise back, or even far exceed before."

Ding Lei took a look and found that Lin Xiao didn't show much signs of moving, so he continued:

"Mr. Lin, if the time comes, if Eternal Network is willing to inject some more business into NetEase, the stock price will usher in a sharp rise, so that you can directly own a company with a market value of over 10 billion yuan."

Lin Xiao asked directly at this time, "What was the highest market value of NetEase before?"

"4.5 million yuan." Ding Lei replied.

After hearing this, Lin Xiao asked again with interest: "Mr. Ding, you should have found other buyers before, right? What's the price like?"

Ding Lei did not hide anything, and quickly replied: "8500 million yuan transfers all NetEase shares in my hand."

Lin Xiao did some calculations in his mind, and this is equivalent to a price of 1.6 million yuan.

"Equivalent to one-third of the market value at the time of listing, but your NetEase stock price has fallen to one-tenth."

Ding Lei listened, and was silent for a few seconds again.

He suddenly wondered whether it was the right choice to come to Lin Xiao today.

Whether to buy Netease, Ding Lei can't tell now, but he can see it, Lin Xiao hit him today very hard.

With a strong smile, Ding Lei continued: "Mr. Lin, you know, you can't calculate it like this. Now is the period when the stock price is at its lowest. NetEase's market value is seriously underestimated..."

Hearing that Ding Lei wanted to explain, Lin Xiao waved his hand, and then said:

"Mr. Ding, I won't play around with you anymore. Eternal Network has no plans to acquire NetEase for the time being."

"The reason..." Lin Xiao smiled, and then said tactfully:
"At present, we still want to do a good job of our own Gengu.com, and we don't have so much energy to run Netease again."

Hearing that Lin Xiao refused so simply, Ding Lei was slightly disappointed.

He tried to talk for a while, talking about some of the advantages of Netease, but Lin Xiao never let go.

For Lin Xiao, at this stage, he really has no idea about acquiring NetEase.

If the company's portal website has not yet been launched, Lin Xiao may really consider it in consideration of the rich product ecology.

But now, Gengu.com has been launched and its positioning has been clarified. It really doesn't make much sense to acquire NetEase at this time.

Netizens will grow up, and now it only attracts young people, but in three or four years, this group of young people will mature, and Gengu.com naturally has a group of such users.

Lin Xiao never thought that Gengu.com would become a popular product immediately, so he was not in a hurry to cultivate users.

Putting aside the expansion of the user base, purely from the perspective of investment, among several major portal websites, NetEase is indeed the most valuable investment.

However, this does not mean that Lin Xiao has to take NetEase into his pocket.

Compared with several other portal websites, NetEase has investment value because NetEase later began to transform and start games.

If it is acquired into the system of Eternal Ancient Network, its advantage will be lost.

Is it possible that Eternal Network is making games by itself, but also wants NetEase to make games?
So judging from these, Netease at this time is really tasteless to Lin Xiao, and there is no point in buying it at all.

With these 8500 million yuan, nearly 7 million Huaxia coins, Lin Xiao could do something wrong.

However, Lin Xiao is somewhat interested in investing in Netease.

After all, NetEase's growth in the future is still very good.

Of course, if it is an investment, what Lin Xiao wants is to buy the bottom, but now is obviously not the best time to buy the bottom.

Netease's current stock price is still more than 1 million yuan, so where is it?

When the other party falls below 1 million yuan, it is not too late to invest in the bottom.

However, Lin Xiao pondered, he could give Ding Lei some confidence.

Therefore, Ding Lei said a lot, and after Lin Xiao refused again, he immediately said to Ding Lei:

"Mr. Ding, in fact, there is no need to be so pessimistic. I still believe in the development of the entire Internet industry, and I also believe in the future development prospects of NetEase."

"If, I mean, if one day, NetEase is really very difficult, I'm still willing to give some support, such as making some investments."

After hearing Lin Xiao's words, Ding Lei, who was already very disappointed, regained his energy immediately, and looked at Lin Xiao with hope in his eyes.

"Is what President Lin said true?"

Lin Xiao nodded and said: "If one day, Mr. Ding really feels that Netease can't survive, you can come to me. At that time, whether it is in the name of myself or in the name of Eternal Group, I am willing to invest and support it. .”

"Of course, Mr. Ding, don't give up looking for a way out just because I said this. No one is willing to invest in a rotten company."

After Ding Lei heard it, he quickly said: "Of course not. NetEase has gathered so much effort of mine. Of course I hope it can get better and better."

Lin Xiao smiled and said nothing.

And Ding Lei didn't continue to talk about this topic at this time.

For him, this time he came to the ancient network, although he did not achieve the expected purpose before he came.

But with such a verbal promise from Lin Xiao, at least in the future when there is no way out, there is still a thigh to hug, Ding Lei can be regarded as relieved.

As the stock price is getting lower and lower, and in the past two days, he has vaguely discovered some financial irregularities in the company, realizing that this may cause serious damage to NetEase again, which also makes him feel extremely pressured.

If these things really ferment, Ding Lei feels that his NetEase will face a great crisis.

Of course he doesn't want this day to come, but at this moment, it makes him feel that even if this day does come, if Lin Xiao is willing to support it, it should not be a catastrophe.

Ding Lei felt much more relaxed, and Lin Xiao was also in a good mood at the moment.

If Netease really follows the development track of the previous life, it won't take long for the other party to face great trouble, and the stock price will really fall to the floor.

According to the current situation, Ding Lei is very likely to find him.

That being the case, Lin Xiao certainly didn't mind making a fortune while helping the other party.

Lin Xiao is not interested in acquiring or controlling NetEase, but Lin Xiao is still interested in making money by delivering it to your door.

Moreover, Ding Lei's incident was a reminder to himself.

In fact, from the second half of this year to the beginning of next year, whether it is the United States or China, the stock prices of many Internet companies have really fallen and cannot fall anymore.

This is a good opportunity to buy the bottom. It seems that Lan Yumo should also be reminded not to patronize short selling. You can still buy some bottoms when the time is right.

If you hold it for a long time, it will increase hundreds of times or even one or two thousand times, then there is no problem at all.
