China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 28 28. Investing in Penguin
In the steaming private room, Lu Huateng looked at the tumbling copper pot, feeling like he was suffering like the mutton inside.

How much is a QQ domain name worth?

If measured by [-] million users, it can be said to be worth a lot.

The young man in front of him who looked like he was only 20 years old asked this question, obviously he was determined by himself.

To say less, it means that he is not good at QQ, and he doesn't want to admit this.

Say too much, distressed.

Too little money right now.

When he was in a dilemma, Cao Yu personally licked some hot tea for himself this time, and said with a smile: "Actually, Mr. Lu, compared to domain names, I think I have some ideas that can turn Penguins into profits, which are more valuable."

"what?"

At this moment, Lu Huateng's face changed, his eyes widened, and he felt that his ability to think was affected, and only humming sound remained in his ears.

The words of turning losses into profits completely hit Lu Huateng's weakness and completely broke his defense.

"Mr. Lu, actually, I don't want to sell the domain name, but I want to cooperate with you."

"Cooperation?"

Lu Huateng never expected that the young man in front of him was not doing it for money.

"Yes, cooperate!"

Cao Yu spoke seriously, but what he said next shocked Lu Huateng even more.

"If we cooperate, we can work together to bring penguins to the market, and maybe in the future, we can create a penguin empire!"

"Listed! Penguin Empire!"

These two words immediately made Lu Huateng see an untouchable bright future.

Is this really possible in Empire of the Penguins?

"Mr. Lu doesn't believe my words?"

"No, it's too far away to go public, I really haven't thought about it."

Lu Huateng is not lying, what he is thinking about now is to turn losses into profits as soon as possible.

But Cao Yu knows that Penguin went public in 04, and the current difficulties are only temporary.

He is very fortunate that he was reborn in 02. If it was a few years later, he would probably have to hug the rich woman, crying and crying that he was hungry.

"Mr. Lu, I actually like you very much."

Cao Yu made a joke, and then continued: "I heard that you used your 13.6% shares last year to raise 200 million U.S. dollars? This business is a loss."

"deficit?"

Lu Huateng didn't understand. Penguin was already facing life and death at that time, and he could only use the money to stick to the QQ show project if he could raise 200 million US dollars. If he didn't have the money, he might have sold the QQ project.

"Hehe, to be honest, I plan to exchange the QQ domain name, plus an investment of 100 million US dollars, together with my ideas, for 10% of your shares. How does Mr. Lu feel?"

Cao Yu's proposal made Lu Huateng put his hands on the glasses immediately.

This is a subconscious action that he needs to meditate on.

The domain name, according to the value, is at least around 100 million US dollars, plus 100 million investment, in exchange for 10% of the shares, I really don't lose money.

Moreover, this young man's thoughts cannot be measured by money.

But the highest shareholding ratio of my other four partners is only 7.9%, so he wants 10%?

In this way, this young man is the second shareholder of the company, and when the time comes to dictate to the company, what will other people think?
Cao Yu saw Lu Huateng's worry, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I just want to be a shareholder. I don't want to participate in the operation of Penguin Company, and my entertainment company is too busy."

"Not involved in the business?"

"Never participate, we are friends, I can give you some advice at most, what do you think?"

"Hehe, Mr. Cao, I feel a little embarrassed when you say that."

Lu Huateng's hand on the glasses finally let go.

100 million US dollars, plus a domain name, this is simply a gift in the snow.

"What's the matter with embarrassment, I just said, I am very optimistic about you."

Cao Yu picked up a piece of mutton, put it on Lu Huateng's plate, and continued: "I can assure you that next year, we will be able to repurchase all the shares held by IDG and take back part of the shares of MIH. Then distribute these shares to everyone, and I believe that other people will not have any objections if they hold 10% of my shares."

"Can you really take back the shares of IDG?"

"Mr. Lu has no confidence in himself like this?"

"Hehe, no, I still have confidence."

"I hope the cooperation will be pleasant. Would you like some wine?"

"Come on, I hope we can cooperate happily in the future!"

Lu Huateng actually likes to drink very much, and he is in a good mood at this time, so he wants to drink a little.

He really didn't expect that not only did he get the QQ domain name without spending a penny, but this young man would also invest 100 million US dollars in it, which just relieved the financial pressure.

This time I came to Yanjing, and I was right.

If he knew what 10% of Penguin shares would represent in the future, he would rather spend money to just buy the domain name, even if he sold the pot.

At this moment, Yang Mi on the side was dumbfounded.

It's 100 million at every turn, or US dollars, boss, you are really rich.

"Mr. Lu, you are older than me. From now on, I will call you Brother Lu."

"That's so embarrassing, I'm just a few years older."

"Brother Lu, you are welcome, for Penguin to have a better tomorrow, cheers!"

"Dry!"

When the two wine glasses collided, there was a crisp sound. The mutton, which was tasteless just now, tasted so sweet again.

After finishing the penguin, Cao Yu was also in a good mood. He sent Lu Huateng to the hotel first, and made an appointment to go to Pengcheng together the next day, so he planned to send Yang Mi home.

"By the way, boss, can you help me ask Mr. Lu for a good QQ number?"

In the car, Yang Mi was a little embarrassed to say something that she couldn't forget.

"I've already thought about it for you, how about getting a 1986912 for you?"

Cao Yu had already thought about this kind of guarding and stealing. Not only did he want to get a good name for Yang Mi, but he also wanted to get one for himself and Yang Shuxue.

emm, and sister Liu Tianxian.

"Huh? Really?"

Yang Mi was both delighted and surprised. She didn't expect the boss to be so nice. This is a number made up of her birthday. With this QQ number, she is among her classmates, which is very honorable.

"I don't lie,"

"mua~"

"I was so happy last time, you can't do this again, do you hear me?" Cao Yu touched the cheek that was suddenly attacked, and reprimanded with a straight face.

"I was also happy just now. Besides, I'm your little secretary."

Yang Mi smiled and said, her eyes were filled with admiration and excitement: "Tomorrow, if you go to Pengcheng, can you take me with you?"

"Why are you going? No!"

"How can the boss not bring a secretary? Besides, I haven't been on a plane yet, so just take me."

Although Yang Mi had acted in plays, she was mostly in Yanjing area, and she had never been on a plane. The main reason is that the air tickets at this time are still quite expensive.

"I'll let you sit until you vomit!"

"Just take me this time, okay? I'm your little secretary."

"If you don't take it, don't take it!"

"Stingy boss, I hate you!"

"Hate me? The QQ number is gone."

"Don't hate it, don't hate it."

……

Perhaps because of their growth experience, Yang Mi and Liu Yifei have completely different personalities, one is more cheerful and mischievous, while the other is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.

In Cao Yu's view, she is really a little dragon girl, a Guo Xiang.

In the hotel, Lu Huateng did not take a break. He logged into the QQ group chat and was having a remote meeting with several elders.

"Mr. Lu, 10% of the shares, isn't that too much?"

"Not much. The value of this domain name and his investment are worth at least 200 million US dollars. Is it only 10% more? Moreover, his idea will allow us to go public earlier, and he also promises not to participate in the company's management."

These words made the other four elders fall into deep thought.

go public?

If they are going to be listed, the value of the shares in their hands will be calculated in hundreds of millions.

For a moment, some excited flushes appeared on the faces of everyone.

Why start a business?It's not just for money. With money, dreams can be realized.

"I've already figured it out. I personally contribute 5%, each of you contributes 1%, and then collects 1% from other people. It is enough. When the company has money, it will take back some shares and compensate you. "

After Lu Huateng finished speaking, everyone felt that the loss was not too great, and they all expressed their opinions: "Agree!"
