Chapter 382 "Penguin Horse" Comes to Plead for Mercy

Lin Feng did not expect that Boss Ma from Penguin would come from Pengcheng to Binhai to see him.

"Brother, look at your office decoration style, it's a bit crude."

Boss Ma wandered around in Lin Feng's office before sitting on the sofa opposite Lin Feng.

"I definitely can't compare it with my brother's office. I went to the boss's office that time and looked at the famous paintings hanging in your office. I was envious."

Lin Feng gently put a freshly brewed cup of tea in front of Boss Ma, and looked at Boss Ma with a smile on his face.

Boss Ma picked up the cup of tea, closed his eyes and sniffed it, then gently put it back on the tea table.

"Good tea, but didn't I give you that century-old Pu'er before? Why didn't you come out and entertain me?"

Boss Ma put his right foot on his left leg, put his left hand on the edge of the sofa, and gently pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose with his right hand.

When Lin Feng heard Boss Ma's words, his lips moved back.

"It's really not that I'm stingy. This tea is the top Biluochun tea from decades ago. Even if you have money, you can't buy it in the market now. Brother Ding managed to get it for me. I'm so proud of it."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Boss Ma stared in surprise, pointed to the cup of tea and said, "You said that this tea was given to you by Lao Ding, Biluochun for decades?"

Lin Feng was puzzled by Boss Ma's reaction and nodded.

"Yes, what's the problem?"

Boss Ma slapped his right leg with his right hand.

"This old man, thankfully I still treat him as a brother."

"When I went to their house before, I coveted the Biluochun in his collection for a long time, but no matter how much I spent, I couldn't convince him to give it to me."

Boss Ma looked at Lin Feng with an aggrieved face, and continued: "I didn't expect that he would give it to you in the end."

Lin Feng didn't expect such a thing to happen in the middle, with a smile on his face.

"Don't talk about it, come and try it, this tea is still very good."

Lin Feng stretched out the back of his hand to test the temperature of the teacup, and felt that the temperature was suitable, so he quickly asked Boss Ma to drink tea.

"Boss Ma didn't just come here to ask for a cup of tea today, did he?"

Lin Feng put down the teacup that had been refilled for the second time, and looked into Boss Ma's eyes with a smile in his eyes.

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Boss Ma also put down the teacup in his hand, stared at Lin Feng with both eyes, and the two looked at each other for a few seconds before Boss Ma spoke.

"I came to visit this time, mainly to ask, what do you think of Dangdang's online listing?"

Lin Feng asked Boss Ma calmly: "I don't know from which angle you can see what my brother said?"

Boss Ma narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Lin Feng: "Of course it's why Dangdang.com is in such a hurry to go public."

"I already know that my brother seems to be urging Gaoling Capital to urge Dangdang.com to go public, and it will be similar to the listing time of Alibaba. I don't know if I can explain it to my brother. Now I am very confused."

Lin Feng changed the position of his hands, and then adjusted a more comfortable sitting posture.

"Is it not good for Dangdang.com to go public in advance?"

"Brother holds 100% of the shares of Dangdang.com. According to the current valuation of [-] billion U.S. dollars by Hongshan Capital, my original [-] million U.S. dollars has now become one billion U.S. dollars. In such a short time It’s just doubled, isn’t my brother satisfied?”

Boss Ma stared at Lin Feng quietly for a minute, then opened his mouth and said slowly: "I am indeed very satisfied with the current valuation of Dangdang.com, but I am also very scared."

"After all, I have been in business for so many years, and I have never seen a company whose valuation doubled several times in just a few months. I always feel a little uneasy in my heart, so this time I came to ask my brother to understand .”

"Brother, you just follow me to make money honestly, why don't you care so much?" Lin Feng looked at Boss Ma with a smile, "You have to know how popular the shares of Dangdang.com are in the capital circle now? ?”

"If you are really afraid, then I will help you find a home for the shares in your hand, so that you don't have to worry about this and that all day long."

When Boss Ma heard Lin Feng's words, he quickly waved his hands and refused.

"Brother, don't get me wrong. I don't have any other intentions. I just want to know what your plan is. My brother has a good idea."

Lin Feng stared at Boss Ma, thought for a while, and finally decided to explain this principle to him briefly.

"Old brother has said so, as a younger brother, I can't let my brother follow me without knowing why."

Boss Ma nodded quickly: "That's the truth."

Lin Feng said: "Actually, the reason why we have to go public shortly after Alibaba's listing is because Ali, the golden bull, has set an example in front of us, driving foreign investors to buy stocks in Chinese companies."

Boss Ma became interested when he heard Lin Feng's words, and leaned forward slightly.

"I don't know how to say this?"

Lin Feng said with a smile: "My brother also knows that although we are all against Ali Company, it is undeniable that Ali Company still has great potential in the future."

Hearing what Lin Feng said, Boss Ma, who was sitting across from him, nodded slightly. He and "Hangzhou Horse" had fought against each other for many years.

"So once Alibaba is listed in country M, many institutions will definitely buy their company's stock in a big way."

Boss Ma was a little puzzled: "Then what does this have to do with the listing of Dangdang.com?"

Lin Feng explained with a smile: "However, the shares of Ali Company are limited. So many capitals and institutions want to buy shares of Ali. Obviously, it is impossible to meet the needs of every capital institution."

"At that time, it will inevitably lead to a sharp rise in Ali's stock price."

Hearing what Lin Feng said, Boss Ma was still at a loss. He understood what Lin Feng said, but what does this have to do with Dangdang's online listing?
Lin Feng saw the doubt in Boss Ma's eyes, and said to Boss Ma: "At that time, the stock price of Ali Company will rise sharply, which will definitely attract a lot of capital to join this capital carnival."

"But Ali's shares are too small, and there is no way to meet the demand for so much capital. What should we do at this time?"

Hearing that Lin Feng stopped at the most critical moment, Boss Ma became anxious, and hurriedly urged Lin Feng to continue.

Seeing Boss Ma's anxious expression, Lin Feng covered his mouth and chuckled a few times, and then continued to explain.

"At this time, for the capital market, they need an alternative."

"Substitute?" Boss Ma frowned and repeated in doubt.

He couldn't figure it out that Dangdang.com, which was so nervous by Lin Feng, was actually just a substitute for Ali Company. Is this a joke?
Lin Feng also seemed to see the doubts in Boss Ma's heart, and without waiting for him to ask, he said, "Maybe it is difficult for you to understand why dangdang.com is a substitute for Ali Company."

Boss Ma nodded when he heard Lin Feng express his doubts.

Now he has no opinions of his own at all, being led by Lin Feng.

Now he just wants to understand why Dangdang.com is a substitute for Alibaba, and if this is the case, how should Dangdang.com go after its listing.

These are all questions that trouble Boss Ma's heart, but now, he is staring wide-eyed, waiting for Lin Feng to give him an explanation.

"You can compare the similar backgrounds of Alibaba and Dangdang."

Lin Feng raised his right hand and began to count with his fingers.

"Both companies are domestic e-commerce companies, and both occupy a good market share."

"The businesses of the two companies also have a lot of overlap. With the help of Xingkong and Penguin, Dangdang.com's current business types are not much different from those of Alibaba."

"Ali is backed by various well-known capitals, and Dangdang.com also has strong capitals behind it."

"But this doesn't make the market recognize that Dangdang.com is a substitute for Ali, right?" Boss Ma listened to Lin Feng pointing out the similarities between the two companies. At this time, he couldn't help but interject and asked the most crucial question.

That's right, how to get investors in the market to recognize that Dangdang.com is a substitute for Alibaba. After all, if market investors don't recognize it, it's useless to talk about other things.

Lin Feng laughed when he heard Boss Ma's words, which made Boss Ma puzzled.

"Brother, can't I say that I can't?"

Seeing Lin Feng laughing non-stop, Boss Ma felt his heart pounding. Could it be that the question he just asked was very funny/
But whether a company's stock can soar depends on whether investors in the market are willing to accept it?

Just like the "tulip bubble" back then, the reason why people at that time were so crazy to speculate on tulips with only ornamental value to sky-high prices was because investors in the market recognized the story that tulips can be compared to gold.

Only when investors believe in this concept and believe in this story, can the following hype be started.

Lin Feng stopped laughing slowly and looked at Boss Ma.

"Brother, have you forgotten the two of us?"

Boss Ma was taken aback, and muttered, "What does this have to do with us?"

Lin Feng said: "We are the ones who put the finishing touches on this story."

Speaking of this, Lin Feng stared at Boss Ma's eyes with a dazzling light, which made Boss Ma afraid to look at Lin Feng, and quickly shifted his gaze elsewhere.

After listening to Lin Feng's explanation, Boss Ma sat on the sofa in a daze for a while, and finally felt deep admiration for Lin Feng's plan.

With Lin Feng's thoroughness this time, he also knows what to do in the future. Anyway, it is right to fully support Dangdang's online listing now.

"Brother, in fact, my brother came to see you today, apart from the matter about Dangdang.com, there is one more thing."

After Lin Feng finally explained the plan of the whole matter to Boss Ma, he was sipping tea. After all, after talking for so long, Lin Feng felt thirsty.

Hearing that Boss Ma had other times besides Dangdang.com, he put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Boss Ma suspiciously.

"Brother, let's listen. If I can help, I will."

With Lin Feng's words, a smile appeared on Boss Ma's face.

"I know that my brother and Shunfeng's Huang Wei have some conflicts, so Huang Wei asked me to be a lobbyist for a while, to see if everyone can shake hands and make peace, so that peace will make money in the future."

Lin Feng didn't expect that Huang Wei of Shunfeng invited Boss Ma to come to lobby, but how did they know each other?
However, Lin Feng soon realized that Shunfeng's base camp and Penguin's headquarters are both in Lingnan, and both of them are big businessmen, so it shouldn't be strange for them to know each other.

"Brother, I really can't blame all of this matter on me." Lin Feng spread his hands, and said helplessly: "At the beginning, I sincerely came to him to cooperate with him, but the result? I was rejected."

"Since he doesn't give me any face, then I can't blame me for not giving him Huang Wei face."

Hearing what Lin Feng said, Boss Ma opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by Lin Feng raising his hand.

"Brother, don't say any more."

"If it's other things, I can promise you, but in this matter, I can't promise you."

"And the most important thing is that logistics is an industry that I value more, and Shunfeng holds such a large share of the logistics market, it must be the target I want to annex."

When Boss Ma heard Lin Feng's words, the corners of his mouth were flattened, showing a wry smile.

I have said here that I want to intercede for Shunfeng, but you, Lin Feng, keep saying here that you want to annex Shunfeng, can we still have fun?

But just like this, Boss Ma also saw Lin Feng's determination to annex Shunfeng. Thinking of this, Boss Ma could only mourn for Huang Wei in his heart for a few seconds. Whoever let him mess with anyone was not good, but it happened that Lin Feng's petty mind was offended. guy.

Lin Feng didn't know that he had become a narrow-minded person in Boss Ma's heart.

But if Lin Feng really knew what Boss Ma was thinking, he would definitely laugh out loud, then hold Boss Ma's hands tightly, look at him with watery eyes and said: Brother is really my confidant.

Boss Ma also knew that his pleading was destined to be fruitless, so he said goodbye to Lin Feng and prepared to leave.

Seeing that Boss Ma was about to leave, Lin Feng hurriedly told him to stop, then squatted down, and took out the special grade Biluochun that Boss Ding gave him from under the coffee table.

Boss Ma just stood beside him blankly, watching Lin Feng pull out a paper package from under the coffee table, and saw that Lin Feng opened the package, only to find out that it was tea.

When Lin Feng wrapped a tea bag in the package with a piece of newspaper and put it in his hand, he realized that this tea bag should be Lao Ding's special grade Biluochun.

"Brother, this can't be done."

Boss Ma quickly waved his hand and declined.

"If my brother really treats me as a friend, don't reject my offer."

Boss Ma looked at the tea leaves that were forcefully stuffed by Lin Feng in his hand, and then at Lin Feng. The two looked at each other quietly for a few minutes.

"Then I'll take it."

Hearing Boss Ma's words, a smile appeared on Lin Feng's face, and a smile appeared on Boss Ma's face as well.
