Time flies in the world of film and television

After Han Tao and Andy entered the venue, Lao Tan, who was socializing inside, saw the two finally appear, smiled and said sorry to the friends around him, and walked towards them with a smile.

Han Tao and Andy naturally also saw Lao Tan coming out, but before Han Tao could speak, Tan Zongming said:

"Han Tao, Andy, you guys are here. As the protagonist, it's inappropriate for you two to be late!"

Hearing this, Han Tao responded with a smile: "Old Tan, today's protagonists are not me and Andy, but President Liang and Vice President Lin. Professional matters are left to professional people. We are here to support the scene and make soy sauce! "

"You, Lawyer Han, don't be humble. Now you are the protagonist wherever you go, but I won't argue with you about making soy sauce. You are more of a shopkeeper than me. In the past few days, because of shaking things over there, The threshold of my house has been crushed!"

While talking, Tan Zongming guided Han Tao and Andy to a few people not far away, and introduced while walking:
"It just so happens that you are here. Come with me to meet some friends. There is a tricky matter over there, and you, the big boss, need to participate in it."

"Hahaha, and when you, Old Tan, are in trouble, I'd like to see who is holy."

Han Tao nodded, and followed Tan Zongming. During this period, Tan Zongming briefly introduced the visitor to prepare Han Tao. In fact, Tan Zongming did not expect this person's arrival.

Hearing that the person who came was Mr. Ma from Penguin, Han Tao's heart moved, and he probably guessed the purpose of the person's visit. There are two purposes, one is to give money and share the cake, and the other is to grab the cake and pick fruits.

But Han Tao is not worried, no matter what the purpose is, Han Tao is not afraid, if other people may be worried, but he doesn't care about the strength and background of the other party, so the way to deal with it is also simple, that is, friends come and have good wine, The enemy is coming on the shotgun.

If you want to cooperate, you can talk about it. After all, Penguin is one of the big brothers of the contemporary Internet, especially in the social and gaming fields, and it is almost a monopoly.

Moreover, Penguin has discovered very quickly in the past few years, and its tentacles have involved all walks of life. In the past two years, it has made great efforts in investment. It can be said that there are some sunrise companies in the market, large and small. very big.

This time it was a vice president who was mainly in charge of this aspect of the business, but the results did not meet expectations, and Jijiu's sudden rise to his own model made him and the group very optimistic.

So after many considerations, this Vice President Zhang came. However, while he was implementing the company's plan, Vice President Zhang also had some calculations of his own, so Vice President Zhang planned to use his power to suppress others first. See if you can reach a merger and acquisition, if not, we are talking about cooperation and investment.

How did he know that for a pure businessman like Lao Tan, Penguin and Mr. Ma are a mountain that cannot be overcome for the time being. It has not reached the level of the two bosses of Malaysia and Pony.

But there is no advantage for Han Tao. Even though Mr. Ma's father is a well-known economist in China, he once worked in the Qiongzhou Ministry of Communications, and was the manager of Shencheng Shipping Corporation, but compared to Han Tao's background, it is still almost interesting. .

"Mr. Zhang, let me introduce you. This is the biggest investor in Douji, the director of Mingtang Law Firm, Han Tao, a legendary young talent."

After a few people came to the small conference room on the side, Lao Tan introduced Han Tao to the other party first, and then introduced to Han Tao:

"This is Penguin's Vice President Zhang, President Ma's right-hand man, very powerful."

"Hello, Director Han, I have known you for a long time, today we take the liberty to disturb you, I hope you will not blame me!"

President Zhang of Penguin shook hands with Han Tao politely, and looked at the young man. As soon as he met him, he felt subjectively that Han Tao relied on his family to get what he is today.

Han Tao knew the other party's intentions, and Lao Tan must have something difficult, otherwise he would not let himself come forward. After all, he has never participated in the management, and there will be no results on this occasion, so he just needs to show an attitude, and the rest will be fine. Just leave it to Andy and Lao Tan.

Seeing that Han Tao understood his thoughts, Tan Zongming smiled and introduced Andy to the other party, and then several people discussed the basic cooperation intention.

"Mr. Zhang, although the initial investment of Doujiu is relatively large and there is no profit, you and Mr. Ma should be able to see the development prospects and momentum, and we are not short of funds.

Whether it's me or Director Han, there will be no breakage of the capital chain in a short period of time, so we are not interested in your M&A plan. If Penguin is really sincere, then we will participate in the AB round of financing. "

Hearing Tan Zongming's refusal, Mr. Zhang knew that this was Han Tao's intention. After all, Han Tao holds 55% of the shares in the company, and he is the absolute controlling shareholder of the company. The remaining 45% of the shares are Tan Zongming's 20%. Shares, He Han and Han Tao Fund have a total of 15% of the shares, Andy 5% of the shares, and the rest are held by other investors.

So after thinking for a while, Vice President Zhang tried to fight again: "President Tan, as far as I know, your company invested about one billion as of yesterday.

On our Penguin side, we are willing to pay one billion US dollars to acquire 60.00% of the shares. You will not suffer a loss, and you can still continue to hold shares and pay dividends. "

"Impossible, Mr. Zhang should not think about mergers and acquisitions. Our A-round financing is conservatively estimated at 30 to [-] billion U.S. dollars, and at most [-] to [-] percent will be used. Don't even think about your so-called billion U.S. dollars.

Another point is that Jijiu is not unprofitable, it’s just that the investment in the initial stage is high, and our live broadcast section is already in a state of explosion as soon as it goes online, plus the later delivery of goods, etc., this is not yet a star and Internet celebrity advertising revenue.

If there is sincerity, Penguin will take out 10 dollars plus music copyright, and we can acquire a certain percentage of your shares, so as to obtain 8% to 10% of the shares in the A round of financing. The specific proportion is discussed in detail. As for Don't think about holding shares. "

"Mr. Tan, I think your side is a little too aggressive. Although Jijiu is indeed a dark horse, you should know the situation in the domestic market, and you should also know the weight of the words Penguin and Mr. Ma!"

"Mr. Zhang, you probably didn't do a detailed investigation before you came here. I think what Mr. Ma and Penguin's board of directors decided was not the plan you said, so I will talk about it here today. You can also convey my meaning and want to cooperate. You can only participate in financing, holding and M&A are out of the question.”

After finishing speaking, Han Tao and Andy walked out of the private room without looking back, he really didn't want ink marks.

In fact, in the previous life, Douji was indeed the first to cooperate with Penguin. At that time, Penguin invested 20 billion US dollars in Douji in the form of cash and shares. This transaction also made Penguin one of the shareholders. .

Of course, Dodo and Penguin have also completed a cooperation here. The two parties have cooperated in content, traffic, users, etc., realizing complementary resources and improving user stickiness and retention rate.

Including the launch of a new function of Douji, all users can log in to Douji through Penguin accounts. This kind of partnership does allow Douji users to cover more people and increase user stickiness and activity.

It is this cooperation that gave Penguin a new understanding of Douji, and the relationship between the two parties has also risen to a strategic level. After all, Douji has a shallow foundation and really needs Penguin's technology to improve stability and performance.

However, there is also a certain competitive relationship between Jiji and Penguin. Specifically, the rise of Jiji has had a huge impact on Penguin’s business.

Especially in the field of short video, Douji has become the absolute leader, while the short video application under Penguin is facing huge challenges.

It is precisely because of these reasons that it is inevitable for Penguin to participate in the financing and become one of the shareholders of Douyin, and Han Tao also needs multiple capital interventions to expand the market.
