Chapter 427 The Evil Penguin Empire

"Official Wang, listing on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange is too difficult. What Penguin wants to raise this time is not a few hundred million RMB, but at least US$10 billion. Countless retail investors and large groups may sell their stocks and attack with all their strength. Penguin, the pumping effect formed at that time will dry up the liquidity of many companies."

Lu Fei took the trouble to reply.

These days, lobbyists from all walks of life are besieged by mobile phones. One wave speaks for the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, another wave speaks for the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and another wave urges the US stock market to go public. It's so annoying!

At this time, the room was quiet.

The selected partners sat around the round table, CEO Lu Huateng, COO Zeng Liqing, CHO Chen Yidan, CMO Xu Chenye, CTO Zhang Zhidong, CIO Zhang Xiaolong, CFO Liu Chiping...

"Mr. Lu, we have no choice but US stocks."

As the frontline commander, Liu Chiping adjusted his glasses.

"Those in favor of listing on the NYSE, raise your hand."

Lu Fei looked around, 7 votes for NYSE and 2 votes for NASDAQ, which coincided with his own thoughts, so he did not activate the crucial veto and announced the voting results loudly.

"Mr. Lu, next we should choose a sponsor."

Liu Chiping winked, and the staff distributed the collected information of more than a dozen investment banks to all the partners one by one.

Lu Fei read it carefully, and the paper was densely written with the history, methods, suggestions of investment bank underwriting, as well as the performance of the stocks underwritten in the past...

After some careful cross-examination, I finally selected Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse First Boston Bank, and Sequoia as candidates for a concubine, and chose one of them.

"Mr. Lu, let's start with Goldman Sachs, which has the most positive attitude towards Penguin. Do you have any requirements for listing details? For example, timing and IPO pricing."

Liu Chiping picked up a pen and was ready to take notes at any time.

"My request is not high, just one."

Lu Fei stretched out a finger and strictly followed the Google model, that is, in the selection of underwriters, roadshows, pricing, etc., the control of all links was firmly in his own hands.

Avoid Goldman Sachs and the gang of Wall Street wolves who deliberately depreciate and suppress the price of Penguin's stock.

Liu Chiping said: "This is not easy to handle. No investment bank will agree to weaken its own initiative."

"It's not easy to do, don't do it, some people do it!"

Lu Fei crossed his arms, full of confidence.

Everyone was infected by this momentum, and they all agreed.Amid the echoes, Lu Huateng frowned and said:

"Isn't it a little too much for us to raise US$10.4 billion this time? How should the money be spent?"

As soon as these words came out, it touched the hearts of Zeng Liqing and others.

One by one, more or less, showed a look of bewilderment, a total of more than 80 billion RMB, which has already touched their blind spot of knowledge.

"Most of this money should be tilted towards the strategic development business group. We have to invest and make our own strength stronger by continuously investing in new economic enterprises at home and abroad."

Lu Fei stretched out two fingers: "For example, invest in Kugou Music Network and make it a music player, such as a Thunder downloader..."

Zeng Liqing cleared his throat: "Ahem, Mr. Lu, not long ago I approved a small project of 'QQ whirlwind', which is to compete with Xunlei. If we invest money, we will become enemies?"

"If you don't invest in Xunlei, can QQ Hurricane win?"

Lu Fei turned his head and glanced around, and then said: "Even if you win or die, there will still be an express train, there will always be people who will rise up to resist, and it is impossible to kill them all."

"You mean, let's invest in whoever we think is good, so we don't need to make a similar thing and incorporate it into the QQ system."

Lu Huateng is like enlightenment, and he faintly understands that he is one step closer to the willful "buy, buy, buy" Pony Lu in later generations.

"That's right! We can't be the overlord of Western Chu, and there's no need for that. Penguin itself is the biggest traffic. Holding shares in those companies is to include them in the penguin's ecology."

Lu Fei showed a smiling face.

"Goodbye Mr. Lu!"

Zeng Liqing seems to have opened a new door. Indeed, imitation and plagiarism are too bad for character and reputation, and the investment looks much better. The euphemistic name is: help.

In fact, if you don’t eat a toast, it’s not too late to eat a fine wine, and use the "learning" method, relying on the triple firepower of technology, capital, and traffic to kill, the real "those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish."

Hey, so evil!

"So I propose that on the basis of the overseas and domestic investment departments of the strategic development business group, several large regions such as the Asia-Pacific region, the European region, and the Americas region will be established. Do you have any opinions?"

Lu Fei looked left and right, and cast a questioning look.

"no!"

"Absolutely not!!"

Lu Huateng was extremely excited. If this development continues, Penguin will become the big brother of Huaxia Internet, and everyone will become younger brothers.

And Master Lu is the only big brother!

…………

After the partner meeting ended, Lu Fei mysteriously left Chen Yidan and Zhang Xiaolong alone, even Lu Huateng avoided.

In the huge conference room, there were only three people left.

"Mobile QQ and Super QQ, how about now?"

Lu Fei looked at Chen Yidan. The platform ecological business group he was in charge of included wireless services such as Monternet.

"The situation is very good. Mobile QQ occupies 84% ​​of the market, and almost eight out of 10 mobile phones have QQ installed."

Chen Yidan truthfully reported that wireless value-added services accounted for 32.7% of Penguin's total business revenue, which is simply a big leg.

"I want your two departments to work together to develop a new type of communication service product that integrates multiple communication methods such as voice, GPRS, and SMS, and can realize seamless communication between the Internet, mobile Internet, and mobile network..."

Lu Fei looked at Zhang Xiaolong again: "Can it be done?"

He changed his lazy state and said seriously: "Technically, it is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in the cooperation of telecom operators, because it involves voice, SMS, and WAP."

"Don't worry about this, I'll figure out a way."

Lu Fei patted his chest. Given his solid relationship with the three major operators of China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom, is it easy to grasp?

Chen Yidan asked in confusion, "Mr. Lu, let me ask one more question, why do you want to make this product, which sounds like a QQ competitor?"

"Wrong, it's complementary. I want this product to be interconnected with mobile QQ. For example, people who don't have a QQ account can also use text messages to find QQ users and then chat."

The corner of Lu Fei's mouth turned upwards, yes, he was talking about "Fetion".

Nowadays, the entire mobile phone industry is still in 2G, and surfing the Internet is a very expensive thing. At that time, the traffic was still 5 yuan for 30M, and the traffic was pitifully small. If you exceed 1M, you will be charged 10 yuan more, which is outrageously expensive.

However, the rigid demand for social communication in these years only needs to rely on text messages, and the charges are not cheap. Since WeChat cannot be created, we simply create a castrated version of "WeChat" in the 2G era.

"Mr. Lu, will the operator agree?"

Chen Yidan frowned and said, "Isn't this product stealing the operator's SMS business?"

"I don't know about other companies. China Mobile and China Unicom are definitely willing to give it a try."

Lu Fei looks confident, no surprises, China Mobile will launch "Fetion" next year.

However, the mobile version is very cheating. It deliberately sets restrictions and only allows mobile users to use it internally. China Unicom and China Telecom cannot accept Fetion's information at all.

And his "Fetion" is to break the barriers of the three companies.

"Mr. Lu, as long as the operator cooperates, I'm fine."

Zhang Xiaolong pondered for a moment, showing a calm smile, regarded "Fetion" as a big challenge, eager to try.

"This project is tentatively called 'Fetion', and the confidentiality level is set at 'Top Secret'. Don't let too many people know about it. In terms of human, material and financial resources, Mr. Chen, you are responsible for supporting Mr. Zhang."

Lu Fei patted the two of them on the shoulders, "Is there any problem?"

Chen Yidan and Zhang Xiaolong looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

"Mr. Zhang, how long do you expect to see the initial results?"

"It's hard to say, if you only connect to one operator, maybe half a year at the earliest."

"Half a year..."

Lu Fei smacked his lips, and the corners of his mouth kept rising.

In another half a year, logicX should also have a sample machine. The combination of the two is not a combination of two swords.
