Chapter 325 A 5000 Million Company (for more updates)

Penguin's Boss Ma stared at Zhang Dong and didn't say anything, but in his heart, he had already begun to calculate what benefits Penguin would bring to Penguin if he cooperated with JD.com.

In fact, what Zhang Dong said is correct. JD.com’s logistics system is very attractive to Penguin. At the same time, cooperating with JD.com can also increase the number of products on Penguin’s e-commerce.

Of course, the most important thing is that although Penguin has the number of users next to it, it has not found a good way to convert it into revenue.

Originally, the reason why Boss Ma has always wanted to engage in e-commerce is that his company has a huge user base. Once these users can be introduced into e-commerce, it will definitely bring huge benefits.

But Boss Ma has calculated thousands of times, just underestimated that "Jack Ma" could be so ruthless, and directly gave a big profit "red envelope rain", killing Penguin's e-commerce business that has not yet started to develop.

Boss Ma looked at Zhang Dong and said with a smile, "Actually, we are all sensible people."

"But if we work together, there is a problem we have to face."

Zhang Dong said: "Boss Ma is talking about how Lin Feng will explain."

Boss Ma said: "Since you know it too, let me tell you what you think."

Zhang Dong said: "I don't have any opinions."

Zhang Dong saw that Boss Ma's face was a little gloomy after listening to his words, and he quickly said: "I think Mr. Ma should also understand that the cooperation between our two companies will only benefit and not harm each company."

"Although Lin Feng is a shareholder of our two companies, he can't say anything."

"The most important thing is that our two companies have made money, doesn't it mean that Lin Feng has also made money."

Boss Ma's expression became much calmer when he heard Zhang Dong's words.

"But our company's e-commerce business is still cooperating with Gome Suning on Lin Feng's side. Is it unreasonable to cooperate with you here?"

"And our company's current e-commerce is using the express service provided by Star Logistics. If it is replaced by your Jingdong Express at that time, how will Lin Feng explain it?"

Boss Ma immediately thought of the various impacts that would be brought about once the two parties cooperate.

In fact, for Boss Ma, he is the real decision maker of Penguin Company, and he decides who Penguin Company cooperates with.

But Lin Feng is a shareholder of the company after all, and he also has the same business as Penguin Company. If Lin Feng is really angered, Boss Ma is really afraid that Lin Feng's Star Group will directly cooperate with Penguin Company.

Boss Ma is a businessman who just wants to make money with peace. After all, businessmen open their doors to do business because they want to make money.

After listening to Boss Ma's words, Zhang Dong thought for a while and said, "While Penguin can cooperate with Lin Feng, it can also cooperate with our Jingdong."

"After all, in the business field, who doesn't have a few partners?"

"But it is said to be a joint cooperation, but when the time comes for specific implementation, Mr. Ma will focus on our JD.com's resources, isn't that all right?"

Boss Ma looked at Zhang Dong, thinking about the feasibility of what he just said.

"Then wish us a happy cooperation."

After thinking for ten minutes, Boss Ma stood up and held hands with Zhang Dong tightly.

Zhang Dong held Boss Ma's hand with a bright smile on his face.

Although before Zhang Dong came, he had thought that Penguin would definitely not refuse to cooperate with JD.com.

But when Boss Ma didn't personally agree, Zhang Dong was always a little uneasy.

In fact, before Zhang Dong came, he had already thought about what kind of benefits would it bring to Penguin if JD.com wanted to cooperate with Penguin?
Zhang Dong thought for a long time, and finally figured it out.

If JD.com only brings a convenient logistics system and a variety of e-commerce products to Penguin, these are not the most attractive reasons for Penguin.

The main reason is to come out of Lin Feng and "Jack Ma".

Everyone in the Internet industry knows that the entanglement between "Pengcheng Ma" and "Jack Ma" started a long time ago.

It's like before Penguin vigorously developed e-commerce. As a result, when it opened, "Jack Horse" directly put out a big move to disable Penguin's e-commerce.

So Zhang Dong felt that if he wanted to persuade "Pengchengma" to cooperate with JD.com, he had to tell him what impact the JD.com and Penguin could have on Alibaba.

After all, Penguin and JD.com can build an ecological chain on O2O and attack Alibaba.

Another aspect is that Lin Feng's Star Group has not only entered the e-commerce sector through Gome Suning, but also invested a lot of money to develop logistics. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lin Feng is very optimistic about the e-commerce sector.

If enough time is given to Xingkong Group, I believe Xingkong Group will become another "Ali Company" e-commerce giant.

Although Xingkong Group is a shareholder of Penguin, Boss Ma doesn't want to see Lin Feng's side continue to grow bigger. Otherwise, once Lin Feng's side becomes bigger and stronger in the e-commerce sector, then the chat and communication industry of Weichat will also become bigger and bigger. If it is stronger, the penguin will have no advantage.

So when Xingkong Group launched Xingkong Weibo before, Boss Ma immediately asked the people below to develop the same product.

Penguin has developed similar social products a few years ago, but they didn't have much response, so they didn't pay much attention to them.

But when Lin Feng launched Weibo, Boss Ma began to invest money in researching this product again.

why?
Because Boss Ma was afraid of Lin Feng in his heart, and was afraid that Lin Feng would make another super powerful product.

What's more, this Weibo is mainly for social networking, which is similar to Penguin's chat communication. If Boss Ma is not vigilant, he is really afraid that one day, Lin Feng will directly annex Penguin.

When Lin Feng saw the news that Penguin and Jingdong jointly released the cooperation, his face sank, and he picked up his mobile phone and called Boss Ma.

"Brother Lin, why do you have time to call me today? I thought you were busy with Gome's renaming and re-branding."

When Boss Ma saw Lin Feng's name displayed on the phone screen, he guessed why Lin Feng was calling him.

So he didn't give Lin Feng a chance to speak first, and started chatting for a while.

Originally, Lin Feng planned to directly ask Boss Ma why he wanted to cooperate with JD.com, but when he heard Boss Ma's words, he swallowed the words that were on his lips.

"I don't need to worry about Gome's affairs. Hou Long will take care of everything in Xiangjiang."

Boss Ma said with a smile: "It seems that brother Lin is very lucky to find such a capable helper like Hou Long, which makes me a little jealous."

Lin Feng said: "My brother's words are really right, Hou Long can help me very much."

"Tomorrow is the day when Gome officially changed its name and resumed trading. He also asked me to go to Xiangjiang to witness together, but I rejected it. With him here, I don't have to go there at all."

Boss Ma said: "It seems that this time the company resumes trading, my brother will make a lot of money again. It seems that my brother is really the king of investment just like the rumors outside."

Lin Feng said with a smile: "Brother was joking, I'm just lucky."

"By the way, I have an important meeting here, so I won't chat with my brother. I asked someone to bring you the tea that I promised you before. I hope you like it."

Boss Ma found a reason, and then hung up the phone directly.

Lin Feng listened to the electronic busy tone from the other end of the phone, and many question marks appeared in his head.

"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"

Lin Feng realized that he originally wanted to question Boss Ma, but why did it turn out like this?

Originally, Lin Feng planned to call back, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

Thinking that the name Gome would become a thing of the past tomorrow, Lin Feng felt a little excited, and he didn't know how much the stock would rise after the resumption of trading tomorrow.

The people who were also excited with Lin Feng were those investors who had not sold Gome shares before.

The merger between Gome and Suning has finally been settled. The new company is called Xingkong Electric, and the name of Gome's stock will be changed to Xingkong Electronics tomorrow.

Those investors are not interested in Gome's name change. What they are most concerned about now is how much the stock price will rise this time when trading resumes.

Gome has disclosed the announcement before that the company will issue 50 billion additional shares to purchase [-]% of Suning's equity.

If calculated according to the market value of Gome before the suspension, after the additional issuance, the market value of Gome will reach 1000 billion.

When Gome suspended trading at the beginning, the market value was only more than 300 billion yuan, so in this merger, Gome's valuation of Suning reached more than 700 billion yuan.

March 2008, 3, Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Gome's stock name was officially changed to Xingkong Electric.

Before the stock market opened, the pre-market share price of Xingkong Electric had risen from 11 yuan to 30 yuan, and depending on the momentum, it would continue to rise sharply in the future.

At 09:30, the stock price of Xingkong Electric opened at 40 yuan, and then began to rise continuously.

Those who had held stocks for a long time before saw the stock price kept rising, and they were all reluctant to sell it, while those who had no stock price before kept buying it.

As for the shareholding structure of Star Electric, the distribution is not very good.

When Gome collapsed, Lin Feng had already sold most of his shares, so except for Alice and Ms. Du who held a large number of shares in the market, the others were almost retail investors.

Later, Gome suspended trading, and the Xiangjiang government came forward and asked Lin Feng to buy retail shares in the market for 30 yuan. In addition, Zeng Quan asked the Securities Regulatory Commission to sell the confiscated shares of Alice and Ms. Du to Lin Feng.

This led to Lin Feng later holding 80.00% of Gome's shares.

This is also the reason why Lin Feng wants to promote the merger of Gome and Suning. If it is not because most of Gome is in his hands, he will not do good deeds and save Gome.

On Suning's side, Lin Feng also holds 60.00% of the shares.

Later, in the process of mergers and acquisitions, Lin Feng took part of the shares as an equity incentive for the company's senior management, so Lin Feng now holds 60.00% of the shares of Xingkong Electric.

As the founder of Suning, Hou Long cashed out some shares when Lin Feng became a shareholder of Suning.

Later, when Gome and Suning merged, they cashed out part of it.

But even so, Hou Long still holds [-]% of Xingkong Electric's shares.

Lin Feng and Hou Long alone hold more than 70.00% of Xingkong Electric's shares.

In addition to the shares held by some old people in Suning, the shares of the entire Star Company are actually highly concentrated, with only a small amount of shares circulating in the market.

At the close of early trading, Xingkong Electric reported 50.3 yuan, and its market value exceeded 5000 billion.

At noon, the entire Internet was full of news about Xingkong Electric.

"Shocked, the richest man made hundreds of billions again."

"This year's most powerful behind-the-scenes boss of the company is actually him."

As soon as the news came out, Lin Feng rushed to the trending searches again.

Before, Lin Feng's net worth was calculated by Forbes and Hurun. Lin Feng's net worth was calculated according to their respective sources. Ordinary people just listen to what they say.

But now Xingkong Electric is a listed company and needs to announce its financial report, so everyone knows that Lin Feng holds 60.00% of Xingkong Electric's shares.

Based on the closing price of Xingkong Electric in early trading, the market value once exceeded 5000 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Converted, Lin Feng's shares in Xingkong Electric alone are worth 3000 billion Hong Kong dollars.
