Chapter 301 Lin Feng Becomes Penguin's First Shareholder
At this time, Lin Feng, after solving the Sun family's counterattack, was still thinking about whether the Sun family would have a second wave of counterattack, and Penguin's boss Ma called him.

"Mr. Lin, it seems that everything is as you predicted. Is it time for you to come forward?"

Hearing Boss Ma's words on the phone, Lin Feng knew immediately. It seems that the game with Boss Ma had come to fruition.

When Boss Ma of Penguin came to see Lin Feng last time, Lin Feng told Boss Ma directly that it was not a very wise choice for Penguin to easily get involved in the e-commerce business, but how could Boss Ma listen to Lin Feng at that time.

So Lin Feng made a bet with Boss Ma that Lin Feng can give Penguin a loan to develop e-commerce. If Penguin succeeds, Boss Ma only needs to repay the principal and interest.

But if Penguin's e-commerce business fails, Lin Feng will be asked to become a shareholder of Penguin.

Even if Boss Ma was short of money, he would not agree to Lin Feng's request, but when Lin Feng said the following words, Boss Ma finally agreed to Lin Feng's request.

It turned out that Lin Feng said that if Boss Ma failed this time, some shareholders of Penguin would jump out. Of course, Boss Ma would be unhappy when he heard this. Lin Feng, you are looking down on me, Ma.

Now Penguin's shareholders are all financing before Penguin's listing, and Boss Ma carefully selects them, and they are not short-sighted people.

After all, in the early years, a lot of capital was thinking about how to make quick money.

Just like IDG and Sequoia Capital, for many projects, they enter the market during the first round of financing and the second round of financing, and then continue to increase the company's valuation, and then in the second round of financing or listing. Cash out on the super market and leave.

Although there is nothing wrong with capital's approach, it is not very good for the development of a company, so when Boss Ma raised funds, he inspected every investor.

So in this regard, Boss Ma is quite at ease with his company's shareholders.

Take MIH as an example. When this South African company approached Ma Boss, they not only promised them to give up decision-making and management rights, but only the right to pay dividends. They also promised that even after Penguin went public, they would not quit within three years. .

Therefore, among the many shareholders of Penguin Company, Boss Ma is most at ease with MIH, but this time, the choice of MIH made Boss Ma unexpected.

"Mr. Lin, you won't cheat on what you said before, right?"

The words of Boss Ma on the phone brought Lin Feng back from the past.

Lin Feng said with a smile: "Boss Ma, don't worry, I told you before that I am very interested in your company."

"I will ask Su De to go to Pengcheng to meet with you later to discuss the acquisition of stocks."

Pengcheng Penguin Company, Boss Ma breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Lin Feng's answer on the phone.

The reason why he can calmly face the aggressiveness of many shareholders this time is because Lin Feng promised at the beginning that if those shareholders really threatened Boss Ma because of Penguin's failure in e-commerce, then Lin Feng could give all Shares for sale next.

Boss Ma held the mobile phone in one hand, picked up the coffee on the table with the other hand, and put it to his mouth to take a sip, bitterly.

When Zhang Dong disagreed with Lin Feng's shareholding in Penguin before, Boss Ma also wanted to explain to him that he didn't really want Lin Feng to take a share in Penguin, but he didn't say it.

This time Boss Ma admitted that he was a little careless and overestimated himself. He originally thought that Penguin had such a huge number of users that it would not be easy to do e-commerce, but the society taught him a lesson.

If Boss Ma had money in his hands or Penguin Company still had liquid funds, he would rather take over those shares by himself than give them to Lin Feng, but he has no money.

Although Boss Ma has a net worth of tens of billions on the Forbes rich list, it is all the shares of Penguin in his hand, but when it comes to working capital, his card is only a few million, which is still his salary in the past few years Plus bonuses, as for the stock dividends, have not yet received.

"Mr. Lin, can I ask you a question?" Boss Ma put down the coffee in his hand and walked slowly to the window.

"of course can."

After hearing Lin Feng's words, Boss Ma said, "How did you know Penguin would fail in e-commerce?"

Although Boss Ma is unwilling to admit that Penguin's e-commerce has failed, judging from the current e-commerce sales revenue, it has indeed failed.

Lin Feng didn't expect that Boss Ma was still struggling with this problem, and said with a smile: "Boss Ma, you should know that Boss Ma in Hangzhou has no less ambition than you, right?"

"Did you guess it from this point?" Boss Ma asked suspiciously.

Lin Feng said: "Of course not, the main thing is that I received news that Ali Company was in continuous operation a few days before the opening of your e-commerce store, so I suspect that they will make a big move, and the main target is your investment at that time. E-commerce developed with a lot of money.”

Boss Ma felt that Lin Feng's reason was not convincing enough, and Lin Feng also knew it, but he didn't care whether Boss Ma believed it or not, anyway, no one could prove that his reason was false.

Lin Feng can't always tell Boss Ma that I knew in my previous life that your Penguin company can't compete with Ali Company or JD.com in e-commerce.

After finishing the call with Boss Ma, Lin Feng asked Su De to come to his office.

After listening to Lin Feng's words, Su De, who was standing in front of Lin Feng, asked in surprise: "Boss, you mean that you want to take over most of the shares of Penguin Company?"

Lin Feng looked at Su De and said: "That's right, there have been some disputes among the shareholders of Penguin recently, and some shareholders want to leave, so I want you to go to Pengcheng and help me with the shares that are going to be sold. Then you can go directly to Boss Ma."

Su De looked at Lin Feng and found that he didn't seem to be joking, and asked, "Boss, are you so optimistic about the future development of Penguin Company?"

Su De knows that Lin Feng is not the kind of person who makes small troubles, just like the Chinese ships before, no matter what investment he makes, he always pursues the rate of return that is several times.

It was just like this that Su De was surprised by Lin Feng's acquisition of Penguin's stock.

In the past three years since Penguin's listing, the stock price has continued to rise. Now it is obviously overvalued, and it is not a good time to buy. But he doesn't understand why Lin Feng still spends a lot of money to enter the market. Could it be that the boss and ordinary people Thinking differently?
Lin Feng looked at Su De who was full of doubts, and explained with a smile: "I won't tell you the specific reason, but I can tell you that if you have money, you can use it to buy some Penguin stocks. Years later, you will definitely not regret it."

Lin Feng didn't expect that it was his words today that would add another story of becoming a billionaire because of Penguin's stock price surge.

Looking at the back of Su De leaving, Lin Feng didn't know whether Su De would listen to him and buy stocks, but he would not say much, after all, others would become suspicious if he said too much.

This time, Lin Feng did not use the name of Star Group to acquire the shares of Penguin Company. Instead, he asked Su De to re-register the company with an investment of [-] yuan, and then used this company to hold the shares of Penguin Company purchased this time.

Lin Feng knew that if the company develops according to the normal situation, there will be no risk of bankruptcy even if Penguin's market value reaches HK$[-] trillion in more than ten years.

But this time, because of the existence of Lin Feng as an anomaly, he is not too sure, so it is better to reserve some backups in advance.If the Penguin company did not break through the [-] trillion market value as before, but instead went bankrupt, then Lin Feng would lose the money to buy the shares at most.

After Su De arrived in Pengcheng, he put his luggage in the hotel and took a car to the Penguin Company Building to discuss the shares with Boss Ma.

Boss Ma was stunned when he knew that Lin Feng did not invest in Penguin under the name of Star Group.

Why Boss Ma didn't want Lin Feng to take a share in Penguin, but finally agreed, because he planned to use the news of Lin Feng's share in Penguin to stir up the reputation of Penguin.

But Boss Ma did not expect that Lin Feng would actually register another company to hold shares, which would greatly reduce the publicity behind him. After all, everyone knows that Starry Sky Group is owned by Lin Feng, but for this newly established company, there are not many people. I personally know that it belongs to Lin Feng.

It seems that one of the shareholders in Ant Group is Yunfeng Company, but how many people know that this company is actually owned by "Hangzhou Horse"?
"Boss Ma, is there any problem with this?" Su De asked suspiciously when he saw Boss Ma who was a little dazed.

Pulled back to reality by Su De's words, Boss Ma looked at Su De and said with a smile: "There is no problem, then I will let those shareholders come over to discuss it tomorrow. I wonder if Mr. Lin has explained to you, these shares are... "

Su De said with a smile: "Boss Ma, don't worry, my boss gave me special instructions before I came."

"Although our boss holds shares in Penguin, he will give up decision-making and voting rights, and only retain the right to pay dividends."

"All the shares are held by Boss Ma on his behalf. We can sign the 'Concert Acting Person Agreement' and the 'Voting Rights Entrustment Agreement' later."

Hearing Su De's words, Boss Ma finally let go of his worries.

Before, he was a little worried that Lin Feng's shareholding in Penguin Company would seize his control over Penguin Company, just like what Zhang Dong said, but now it seems that he was thinking too much, and Lin Feng had no interest in managing Penguin Company.

After Su De left, Zhang Dong came to Boss Ma's office and was surprised to hear that Lin Feng had no interest in the management of Penguin Company.

"Old horse, is this a scam?"

Zhang Dong approached Boss Ma and said in a low voice.

Boss Ma could feel Zhang Dong's exhaled breath on his face, stretched out his hand to push Zhang Dong away, and said, "Old Zhang, I don't think you should do technology, you should do intelligence."

"Did you watch too much TV and be suspicious?"

Zhang Dong didn't mind Boss Ma's words, and said, "Then what do you think Lin Feng is planning to buy so many Penguin shares?"

"You know better than I do. Do you think Lin Feng, the richest man in China with a net worth of 2000 billion, is worthy of our company's current profit?"

"If that's the case, then why does Lin Feng spend tens of billions of real money to buy shares in our company? Is it because he has too much money and no place to spend it?"

"Old horse, do you believe such a reason?"

Hearing Zhang Dong's words, Boss Ma was also thinking about why Lin Feng could so readily spend tens of billions to buy shares in their company. After all, Lin Feng's ability to sit on the richest man's seat at such a young age shows that he is not an idiot. What exactly did Lin Feng see in Penguin?
