Sprinkle coins every day

Wednesday, April 7.

At the end of the month, Qiandu was finally forced to disclose its financial report for the second quarter.

It sure was bad.

In the second quarter, Qiandu’s revenue increased by 8.5% year-on-year, but its net profit fell by 36.5% year-on-year. This is the largest single-quarter decline in Lilan since Qiandu went public.

In the previous first quarter, Qiandu's net profit had already fallen by 18% year-on-year.

It can be seen that the situation in Qiandu is getting worse.

Reflected in the stock market of Beautiful Country, the stock price of Qiandu ushered in another big dive. After the opening of the market, the stock price fell by 24.5% all the way, and by the end of the market, it finally fell by 19.8%.

It is equivalent to losing one-fifth of the market value in one day, which is terrifying!
In the face of poor financial reports, Qiandu is undoubtedly facing unprecedented pressure. What's worse, so far, Qiandu's management does not seem to have found any countermeasures to reverse the decline.

"Qiandu has no future!"

Someone has already shouted the slogan, and the last one to receive this title was Tengda.

It can be said that they are brothers and sisters.

.........

"It's worse than expected!"

Zhang Shuo was also the first to pay attention to the financial report released by Qiandu and the stock price fluctuations, which seemed to be more serious than the original space-time, whether it was the decline in net profit or stock price decline.

This is also normal.

In this life, with the full rise of Germination, three Internet giants, Qinghe Group, Qingcheng Group, and Pinxixi Group, were hatched in one go, which itself greatly compressed Qiandu's living space.

For example, the advertising business revenue that Qiandu relies on most has been hit hard.

Another example is Qiandu’s local life service track. After several twists and turns, it finally became one of the shareholders of Arnold Group, which can basically be judged as a failure.

Coupled with the tightening of some policies, which has compressed Qiandu's room for maneuver, life is of course even more difficult.

under these circumstances.

Whether Qiandu can continue to transfuse Qiyi's video is a big question mark.

.........

With Qiandu's "out of the circle", July has also come to an end.What people didn't expect was that Ali, who had been very active all the time, just entered August, and made another big news.

On August 8, U Cool Tudou Group changed its name to Heyi Group.

The next day.

Ari announced that it plans to acquire the remaining 45% of Heyi Group’s equity at a price of US$83.5 billion.

This is another big move by Ari in the entertainment sector after the announcement of the establishment of Ari Music Group last month.This acquisition even set a new record for the acquisition of Huaxia's Internet industry in one fell swoop.

In this round of acquisitions, Ahri valued Heyi Group at as high as US$53.9 billion.

It can be described as rich and powerful.

You know, when Qinghe Group participated in the financing of Qiyi Video in April, the latter’s valuation was only US$35 billion.

The valuation of Tenda Video is also not bad.

It is reported that the founding team of Heyi Group has always been reluctant to be fully acquired by Ari, lest it be completely swallowed by Ari.In order to resolutely win Heyi Group, Ari did not hesitate to raise the purchase price.

Simply put, it's money! ! !

The reason why Ari is so anxious is of course that it is necessary to say that Qinghe Group has always maintained contact with Heyi Group, hoping to invest in Heyi Group.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Ari can only cut the mess with a sharp knife.

seem.

The defeat of 618 last time did not affect Ahri's determination to diversify.

.........

On August 8th, Tenda headquarters.

Ahri's actions in the entertainment field undoubtedly made Tengda feel a huge threat.

Seeing Ah Li so arrogant, Er Ye felt even more uncomfortable.

Once upon a time, Tengda and Ari were on the same starting line. In fact, Tengda actually surpassed Ari in many aspects, ranking first among the Big Three.

Now it is facing the embarrassing situation of weak revenue and weak expansion.

"Boss, I have also received news that Qiandu has been in contact with Qinghe Group recently. It seems that they want Qiyi Video to have a deeper bond with Qinghe Group." Lu Jian reminded.

"..."

This is another bad news for Tengda.

Once Qiyi Video is supported by Qinghe Group, it will not only improve its financial strength, but also receive traffic support from Qinghe Group.

It will definitely be a big rival of Tenda Video.

In contrast, among the three major video sites, it seems that Tenda Video has no new moves.

"The field of long video is about to change."

Second Master frowned, and couldn't help thinking about the future of Tenda Video.

.........

Monday, May 8.

At the regular meeting, Lu Qi, the senior vice president, really mentioned the matter of participating in Qiyi's video again.

"After the release of the financial report, Qiandu is facing unprecedented pressure internally. In addition, Ahli has increased its long-term video business at this time, which has led to intensified involution in the long-form video industry, and Qiandu is naturally under great pressure."

The most obvious change is——

With Ahri's wholly-owned acquisition of Heyi Group, the online copyright prices of film and television dramas will be raised again, and some popular dramas will even directly increase the price by 50%, without counter-offering.

This also directly led to the soaring operating costs of major video websites.

Almost exactly the same as the original time and space.

In such a capital farce that broke out due to the involution of the Big Three, the platform and the audience are all victims, including the destruction of the ecology of film and television dramas.

Those who really benefit are those stars, especially traffic stars.

It's really ironic.

"In view of this, Qiandu contacted Qinghe Group again and offered more favorable conditions, even willing to give up the dominance of Qiyi's video." Lu Qi reported with a smile.

In order to save himself, Qiandu also embarked on a road of cutting flesh similar to Tengda.

You must know that although Qiandu only holds less than [-]% of the equity of Qiyi Video, it has more than [-]% of the voting rights, and it is the absolute behind-the-scenes helm of Qiyi Video.

Qiyi Video is also a subsidiary of Qiandu, and it is one of the relatively high-quality assets.

Therefore, unless it is a last resort, Qiandu is really unwilling to give up the dominance of Qiyi's video, just like Yuanshikong, no matter how tight the funds are, it is still struggling to support it.

"Chairman, what do you mean?" Lu Qi asked for instructions.

"For Qiyi Video, Qinghe Group either doesn't get involved, or if it wants to get involved, it's a big deal." With Germination's current strength, there is really no need to make small fuss.

"big?"

Lu Qi was a little surprised by the appetite of the big boss.

"You may wish to join forces with Jiawei Culture and the founder team of Qiyi Video to make a privatization offer for Qiyi Video. Of course, if Qiandu is willing, it can also expose no more than 10% of the equity."

Zhang Shuo meant to completely take down Qiyi Video.

Only after obtaining the absolute control of Qiyi Video will Zhang Shuo consider saying that he will allocate resources to the field of long-form video in order to complete the goal of reshaping the ecology of the film and television industry.

"Introducing Jiawei culture? It is indeed a good way."

Lu Qi's eyes also brightened. He has recently been making up for a video business class. Naturally, he knows how well Jiawei Culture is one of the top film and television drama companies in China.

Especially in the field of TV dramas, in the past two or three years, Jiawei Culture has almost become a hit production machine.

It is also the existence that the three major video sites want to cooperate with.

"Then let's have a good talk with Qiandu and try to reach a good result." Zhang Shuo said.

presumably.

Inside Qiandu, I am afraid that they will not be able to accept the proposal proposed by Qinghe Group for a while.

"understand!"

Lu Qi also looked solemn, knowing that it was difficult.

.........

Two days later, Qiandu headquarters.

"Boss, Qinghe Group's appetite is too big, right?" Qiandu President Gong Juren was a little angry when he received the acquisition offer from Qinghe Group.

I always feel that Qinghe Group is taking advantage of the fire.

It's very unreasonable!
"We thought Qinghe had a big appetite, but we didn't know that from Qinghe's point of view, our previous proposal was too trivial, and it couldn't arouse Qinghe's interest at all."

The third master understands very well.

Among other things, the current valuation of Qinghe Group is close to two trillion yuan, which is six or seven times that of Qiandu.

Naturally, he has the confidence to say this.

"Then, boss, what do you mean, agree to Qinghe Group's offer?" Gong Juren was obviously unwilling.

"if not?"

The third master frowned slightly, obviously unwilling to give up, but Qiandu's current situation no longer allowed him to hesitate, and he had to give the chairman a reasonable explanation as soon as possible.

"Actually, that's fine."

The third master seems to have let go, "With Ahri's wholly-owned acquisition of Heyi Group, I have a hunch that the game in the long video field will be extremely tragic in the future, and there may not even be a real winner."

At such a time, it might not be a wise move for Qiandu to retreat in time.

What's more, Qinghe Group did not do everything right, and still reserved 10% of the equity for Qiandu. After privatization, Qiandu will still be the third largest, or even the second largest shareholder of Qiyi Video.

Can continue to participate in this game, and has not been completely kicked out.

"OK then!"

Gong Juren thought so, so he stopped objecting.

The most important thing is that Qinghe Group's privatization proposal has been highly recognized by the founder team of Qiyi Video. If Qiandu interferes with it, it may alienate their relationship.

It's better to sell it.

.........

Lu Qi acted very quickly. After receiving an affirmative reply from Qiandu, he immediately took the lead to set up a four-party negotiating team consisting of Qinghe Group, Qiandu, Jiawei Culture and Qiyi Video.

Responsible for discussing specific privatization details.

On the night when the negotiation team was established, Xu Jia, CEO of Jiawei Culture, specifically hung up the phone to Zhang Shuo: "Didn't you always have no interest in video sites before? Why did you think of buying Qiyi Video again?"

"Qiandu took the initiative to come to the door. Anyway, it's not worth a lot of money, so I agreed." Zhang Shuo said lightly.

"..."

Xu Jia on the other side of the phone was a little depressed, she shouldn't have asked.

.........

Although Lu Qi moved quickly, after all, it involves a multi-party interest game, and the negotiation cannot be concluded so quickly.

On the contrary, the good news came from Japan first.

On August 8, a consortium headed by Dream Fund formally signed an investment agreement with Dongzhi on the acquisition of Dongzhi's flash memory chip business.

According to the relevant agreement, Dream Fund, together with Inaosui Group, Vision Fund and Changjiang Storage, will wholly acquire the flash memory chip business of Dongzhi at a price of US$185 billion.

It was [-] million dollars higher than the purchase price of the original time and space.

After the acquisition is completed, Dongzhi Flash will be renamed as Simon Flash to completely get rid of the influence of Dongzhi.

But the main body of operation is still in Dongying.

Dream Fund even promised that it will promote Simon Flash to be listed in Dongying again at an appropriate time in the future, which is also one of the prerequisites for Dongying to approve the acquisition.

After the acquisition landed.

Dream Fund will hold a 37% stake in Simon Flash, the largest shareholder of Simon Flash.

After that.

Dao Sui Group holds 23% of the shares, Vision Fund holds 18.5% of the shares, and Chang Jiang Storage holds 11.5% of the shares.

The remaining 10% of the equity in Simon Flash is jointly held by three local investment institutions in EGL to ensure that EGL can still exert some influence in Simon Flash.

It will not be completely controlled by foreign capital.

Because Inaosui Group itself is the controlling shareholder of Changjiang Storage, holding 65% of the shares in Changjiang Storage, therefore, Inaosui Group actually holds 30.475% of the shares in Simon Flash Memory.

It is also the maximum value that Japan can tolerate.

Even so, ignoring the expenditure on Changjiang storage, the Inaosui Group itself will have to pay more than 270 billion for this acquisition.

If it hadn't just completed financing, I really couldn't support it.

Of course, the benefits are also obvious.

After successfully "taking down" Simon Flash, Changjiang Storage is comparable to Akane Data not only in terms of enterprise scale, but also in terms of technical reserves.

In some respects, it even exceeds Akane's data.

On the surface, the board of directors of Simon Flash Memory in the future will be a battleground for Dream Fund, Inao Group, Vision Fund, Changjiang Storage, and Dongzhi Investment.

But in fact, except for the 10% voting rights held by Dongzhi Investment, the rest are all "sprouts".

Only Zhang Shuo ordered to act.

In the future, Simon Flash memory is also destined to strengthen its strategic cooperation with Changjiang Storage in terms of business decisions. At the same time, it will follow the example of Hitachi Storage before and gradually shift its business focus to the Chinese market.

Until the foundation of Simon Flash memory in Japan was hollowed out.

In this life, Akanebe Data has missed Hitachi Storage, SanDisk, and Dongzhi Flash Memory one after another, and has not been able to carry out even one large-scale merger and acquisition, so it can only fight alone.

How can it reproduce the scenery of the original time and space? !

.........

The consortium headed by the Dream Fund completed the acquisition of Dongzhi's flash memory chip business, which undoubtedly became the largest and most sensational news in the global semiconductor industry.

The purchase price of only US$180 billion is enough to attract attention.

The Chinese Internet is even more excited about it! ! !
"Wow, the rice ear group is awesome. After taking down the Hitachi storage before, now it has taken down the even more powerful Dongzhi flash memory, which is dedicated to the autumn wind of the Dongying people, right? (dog head)"

"You can't say it was won by the Dao Sui Group, isn't it the Dream Fund that took the lead?"

"The ear of rice is also a major player, okay?"

"Don't you understand? Whether it's the Dream Fund or the Vision Fund, they are all purely financial investments. The ones that can really benefit from business are the Dao Sui Group and Chang Jiang Storage."

"Hey, the smart people are upstairs!"

"After winning Dongzhi Flash Memory, Changjiang Storage will become a real giant, enough to challenge Qianbu Data. At least in the Chinese market, I can't think of any other company that will be the opponent of Changjiang Storage."

"Chang Chang's storage is very up-to-date."

In the past few years, with the massive investment in research and development, the growth of Changjiang Storage in the field of solid-state drives has been noticed by consumers, and breakthroughs have been made almost every year.

The introduction of hard drives is also increasingly recognized by consumers.

"Compared with Ahri's previous acquisition of Heyi Group, it is more enjoyable and exciting to see the acquisition of overseas giants like Germina."

"That's right, what's the point of fighting in the light nest?"

"If you have the ability, follow the example of the Germination Department, go out, and buy, buy, buy around the world."

"Then Ari really doesn't have this ability."

"As far as I know, even if overseas investment institutions such as Dream Fund and Vision Fund participated in the acquisition of Dongzhi Flash, the process was full of twists and turns." There are also many knowledgeable netizens.

"Yeah, wanting to become bigger and stronger is easier said than done!"

There is no doubt that whether it is the Dao Sui Group or Chang Jiang Storage, this kind of attitude that is rooted in high-end manufacturing and at the same time aggressive is very able to please the Chinese people.

Attitudes are naturally worlds apart.
