Reboot 2003

Chapter 261 040: Disagreement (two in one)

It happened so fast that other people didn't even have time to stop, and a large group of people left in a hurry.

For a class reunion, this was probably a very embarrassing accident. A group of people from the organizer chased him out to try to save him. Others stood up and looked at the door, a little confused, especially Boss Niu, who was giving a speech on the stage, with a dark complexion. Neither up nor down for a while.

"Don't be impulsive, everyone. Xiao Sun is young after all, and he just likes to act impulsively..."

Several respected seniors got up to ask everyone to calm down, and they finally calmed down. At this time, someone asked: "Why don't you let Mr. Lei go and persuade him? Mr. Lei is quite familiar with Xingxing, right?" ."

However, Lei Jun smiled awkwardly but did not go out. However, the host Liu Chengzhi got up and went to help Lao Niu, saying that we are all Chinese entrepreneurs, and now is the time to work together to tide over the difficulties. Later, he said that everyone will not see you when you look up, for It's not worth hurting harmony by something like this...

At this time, even A Yue came back to her senses.

This seems to make it clear that they are taking sides.

Although he didn't criticize Sun Xiaomei directly, he did seem to care more about other people. The boss of the mid-tier dairy company who made rude remarks was still at the scene and was still shouting bad things to several people around him, as if he was the one who was offended. .

"Chen Qin, I don't want to stay here anymore..."

Ah Yue was a little out of energy, but she had been whispering before. This time she seemed to be heard by Uncle Ma next to her: "A Yue, are you hungry?"

A Yue said politely: "No, Uncle Ma, I'm fine."

Ma Yun smiled and said to her: "When you are in a shopping mall, you can't help yourself. Although the recent milk powder incident is not decent, it also shoulders the work and livelihood of many people. There will always be a day when everyone needs help from others. By the way, later After dinner, I also contacted a few seniors to solve our problems."

A Yue then cheered up. She probably did come here for this purpose: "What do you need me to do?"

"You don't have to do anything, just watch. Look, this company was started by Wenjie after all. I don't want to watch it sink. After today is over, we should be able to get it back on track."

With that said, Ma Yun patted Ah Yue on the head. Ah Yue nodded obediently and said thank you to Uncle Ma, as polite and cute as usual.

But then he seemed a little indifferent. He drank the tea in the cup and had no intention of continuing the conversation with Ma Yun...

After all, if it were A Yue from last year, she would probably be very happy, maybe even very excited.

But now that we know Uncle Ma's own unsafe situation and his motives for trying so hard to interfere with Kuaikan Media, when looking at the problem, it is inevitable that he will feel a little like, "That's it?" 'Immodest thought...

Of course, this is the most elite circle today. In this country that has just opened up, although these people are not very particular about what they do and what they say. In the past, they were all the sons of farmers and workers. It is difficult to say that they have any upper-class demeanor, but after all, they are businessmen. The real helmsman of the wave, even if what he did this time may indeed be unseemly, from the perspective of ordinary people, there is really nothing wrong with it——

Liu Chengzhi came on stage to endorse, and Lao Niu burst into tears with gratitude, and everyone quickly returned to this topic. Now Liu Chengzhi's Lenovo is in great glory. After acquiring IBM's personal computer business, Lenovo is now the second largest company in China after Huawei. Big technology companies, with annual revenue of 150 billion, have become the top underwriters of this year's Olympic Games. It is indeed an exaggeration to say that they are the business godfathers of China.

But when he came back with Lao Niu and sat down with Lao Niu's shoulders, Lao Niu was still a little excited, but Liu Chengzhi smiled at the table and said, "This Sun Xiaomei really can't speak!"

Lao Niu quickly said: "This is also our fault..."

Liu Chengzhi said: "It's okay. In business, you need to unite your efforts to do big things. The galaxy has been too smooth in the past few years, and it has always been relatively independent. Sooner or later, it will suffer losses."

Others tacitly agreed.

"That's right, Mr. Liu still sees clearly."

"Look at our little Yue."

"At such a young age, I can accomplish things by myself, and I can also run a listed company at home. In the future, I will definitely be better than..."

"Forget it, don't talk about that."

"By the way, has the matter with Xiaoyue and her company finally been resolved?"

"Zhou Dapao was also such a person before, but today he is quite calm."

"Not yet, but I'm just planning to meet and talk after this is over."

"Zhou Hongyi is here too."

"Yes, here we come."

"Since I'm here, let's have a good talk today..."

"It's time to talk, and by the way, we can also resolve the affairs of A Yue's family."

"Yes, let's solve it...Lao Zhou used to be from Sitong."

"Let's ask Mr. Yang from Sitong to be the intermediary. If we have a good talk, the problem should be solved."

"yes……"

The adults pretended to talk about that matter. At this moment, Ah Yue seemed to feel that the mood was clearer, but she still didn't say anything and acted obediently as her junior.

In this way, the class reunion has stabilized after these two episodes.

Sun Xiaomei and the group of Shanghai Internet companies did not come back after all, but the class reunion continued, and everyone stayed peacefully until the end. There were some follow-up activities afterwards, such as everyone going to visit the Lenovo headquarters tomorrow, and there were some social gatherings in the evening Small activities to get to know each other...

Of course, these activities are also an important part of the class reunion. Although A Yue is not interested anymore, but this time she came all the way to Yanjing to participate in the activities, it is really time to get down to business——

It wasn't complicated, and she didn't need to worry about it.

The shareholder meeting of Kuaikan Media is coming soon. Yahoo and the Gu family are confronting each other. Ma Yun specially called A Yue to attend this event. Although he did not explain the reason, it seems that it is just for this - a few seniors who are the middlemen. After arranging the place, they took the people on both sides to both sides of the table in a corner. Zhou Hongyi and several of his seniors sat down first, and then Ayue and her uncle Ma sat on the other side.

People on both sides were chatting. A-Yue's grandfather was sitting at the top. He was a little panicked. He was making an overseas phone call with her mother. A-Yue was sitting in the middle. She looked very important, but she really didn't need to do anything special. Something.

As a negotiator, Zhou Hongyi seemed to smile when he saw the little girl sitting opposite, but when his eyes fell on Ma Yun, he seemed to finally become cold.

As friends and colleagues for nearly five years, these two people have little to say, but they are indeed the two most important participants in this conversation.

Ma Yun seemed to be more confident, and he was the first to raise the topic.

"Lao Zhou, we work together here at Yahoo. It can be considered a happy cooperation." Ma Yun said, "But look, after all, it is the family business that my brother Gu Wenjie has worked hard for half his life. I am very affectionate to it."

Zhou Hongyi crossed her legs: "Just tell me the key points." Ma Yun said seriously: "This impeachment is my intention. I know it is not done properly, but first of all, this has nothing to do with A Yue. If you want to find it, just ask Find me."

Zhou Hongyi didn't interrupt, he continued: "Secondly, I did this just to see if the media can continue to operate. I don't ask you to support this decision. I just hope that we can speak clearly. If you have any opinions, we can Let’s talk, no matter what, let’s not take the matter outside the venue or vent it on A Yue, a teenage child, what do you think?”

"I understand." Zhou Hongyi said, "Of course I won't blame Miss Gu. Now look at the large board of directors of the media. She is probably the only one who thinks about the company wholeheartedly. Of course I won't blame her."

Ma Yun smiled and said, "You can't say that. I think you did a good job."

"That's true in my heart, but I am a Yahoo employee first, not a Kuaikan person." Zhou Hongyi said calmly, "I can only do what I do in any position."

"I understand that in order for a company to operate normally, it must of course balance the interests of all parties. This time we impeach you, not to drive Yahoo out of Kuaikan completely. In fact, I am a Yahoo employee, and I will not harm it. It’s my old club, don’t you think so? Haha. In the future, I hope that the advertising department will still be in charge of 3721, and then the new CEO will be..."

Before Ma Yun finished speaking, Zhou Hongyi interrupted him: "Wait a minute, I haven't said that I want to surrender yet. There is a preparation period for the shareholders' meeting, and it will be officially held until the 4th of next month. I can guarantee that. I won’t take the opportunity to suppress the impeachment party after the shareholders’ meeting, but this is not over yet, and I don’t recognize what you are saying.”

Ma Yun smiled and shook his head.

"How about this, let's hold a board meeting now." Ma Yun waved and put a laptop on his hand, "Although this matter must be approved by the shareholders' meeting in the end, let's take a look at the stock price of the media now. It’s relatively concentrated, actually it’s mainly these people.”

With that said, Ma Yun opened Skype, and within a short while, he was connected to several small shareholders of the company.

"Recently, Alibaba has increased its holdings in Kuaikan stocks, and our shareholding ratio has reached 16.4%." Ma Yun said without hesitation, "Our increase in holdings is completely reasonable and legal, and it has not reached the warning line, so There was no prior notice, and we are the official sponsor of the decision to remove the CEO, so we support the replacement of the CEO."

Ma Yun downplayed the illegal increase in holdings, and the seniors responsible for mediation could not help but feel that there was some meaning in it. This method sounded a bit dangerous, almost like a hostile takeover, but think about it, although Alibaba is a small shareholder, but look at it, it is half dead now. It cannot be said that Alibaba is an ant that can be crushed to death with one slap, but as long as you want to intervene, you can always get in; now everyone feels cold in the vest, and the reason is also It’s not the financial strength shown by Alibaba, but he seems to be determined to win this matter. Businessmen all cherish feathers. If they are not forced to do so, who would say such things at a peaceful class reunion...

However, Zhou Hongyi was not afraid of his half-threatening words. After hearing this, he sneered: "What next?"

"Boss Liu, Teacher Wu, Ms. Wang..." Ma Yun called out to a group of people as if they were naming dishes, and asked them to express their opinions through the Internet phone. "They are small shareholders of Kuaikan Media, and they don't hold a lot of shares. They hold a total of 7.3%. But I have already talked with them, and they all absolutely support the replacement of the CEO, which means that they are consistent with Alibaba’s position in the negotiations.”

Zhou Hongyi said: "That's less than 24%, and Yahoo now holds more than 40% of Kuaikan Media's shares."

Ma Yun smiled: "In addition, there is the Gu family. The Gu family has also recently increased its holdings of Kuaikan Media stocks. The total holdings of the two companies are now close to 20%."

The small shareholder on the other side of the Internet phone also shouted from a distance: "Zhou Hongyi, please step down immediately! The company has been in such a terrible state recently, do you think there are other investors supporting you? And you are only the acting CEO now, you have no power at all." Who doesn’t know that Yahoo is also reducing its holdings of stocks held by subsidiaries? How dare you brag about 40%?”

Ma Yun concluded: "We are not saying this to force the palace, but now that Kuaikan Media is not doing well, I think the top priority is to cheer up Kuaikan Media as soon as possible. Instead of everyone getting dizzy over such a small matter, why not Starting future construction early will be responsible for both the company and Yahoo. What do you think?"

"Haha, Mr. Ma, you still know Yahoo!" Zhou Hongyi sneered, "Now you know that we are all colleagues of Yahoo! When Yahoo first acquired Alibaba, you made a condition in the contract that Yahoo Most of the business is left to you to run. Have you ever thought about telling me in advance? This time you keep saying that it is for the benefit of investors, so in order to do a good job in Yahoo’s business, I propose to spin off Yahoo’s cloud business. Do you think it’s okay? ?”

Ma Yun was a little embarrassed: "Of course this can be discussed. When the management team returns to power in the future, these issues can be slowly continued to be optimized."

"So who considers it? You consider it, or does the person you choose consider it?" Zhou Hongyi asked, "Anyway, it's not Yahoo that considers it, right? After all, you just want to see the media and the surname is Ma?"

……

The two exchanged words, and the atmosphere of the discussion became more and more serious.There was little room for others to interrupt. Although Ah Yue, a junior high school student, was the nominal negotiator, of course she could only listen to it like a vase. As expected, the conversation between Zhou and Ma was not very opportunistic, but Fortunately, although both sides seemed to be very angry, they were still at the negotiating table, and both parties were willing to continue the negotiation.

This probably means that both parties are not satisfied with the plan provided by the other party. Now it seems that Ma Yun has the advantage. He directly brought out his legal increase in stock holdings, and relying on Zhou Hongyi's inability to deal with him, he has begun to pass The 'fait accompli' puts pressure on the other side.

However, Zhou Hongyi seems to be very dissatisfied with Alibaba's forced impeachment of the CEO. Not only does he sneer at Ma Yun's excuse of "helping Kuaikan Media get out of trouble," but he also doesn't seem to recognize this "fait accompli."

At this moment, Ma Yun was full of ambition. He felt that the other party was obviously being tough. However, halfway through the words, Ma Yun's cell phone suddenly started to ring.

At first, Ma Yun hung up without even looking, but the calls continued to come. Soon a young man brought by Ma Yun hurried over and whispered to him, and seemed to have encountered a very important problem. Ma Yun Then he called back on his own phone: "Sorry, pick up the phone."

At this time, Zhou Hongyi suddenly laughed: "It's a call from the headquarters. In fact, there is no information that needs to be avoided. Just answer it here."

"What do you know……"

Ma Yun muttered vaguely, but the bad news on the phone came in no uncertain terms: "What? Yahoo and SoftBank are officially putting pressure on our Alibaba board of directors today?"

Zhou Hongyi, who was on the opposite side, explained: "You have illegally manipulated the company's assets, and I suggested that Yahoo intervene."

Ma Yun's expression changed. He seemed not to care about this matter: "What do you want to do?"

"Of course we must restrict the activities of our allies." Zhou Hongyi said, "Since we are all Yahoo's own people, then of course we should listen to Yahoo. I heard before that Kuaikan has 2% of Alibaba's stock, so I asked Yahoo to protect it. We intervened on the grounds of assets, so that we are all owned by Yahoo. I wonder what you think of this?"

Ma Yun was completely stunned this time.

Looking back now, Zhou Hongyi clearly came prepared.

Although Alibaba incited a group of small and medium-sized shareholders and contacted the Gu family to deal with him.

However, when a company implements shareholder rights, it is often based on the entire company. Although Alibaba is his company, more than 60% of Alibaba's shares are jointly held by SoftBank and Yahoo. Of course he can support impeachment here. But shareholders actually have the right to intervene.

He didn't tell Yahoo before, but Zhou Hongyi informed Yahoo for him. Now that he has been in the game for most of the day, he has to switch sides to his opponent due to the requirements of shareholders.

Ma Yun was a little panicked, so he got up and went to the side to make a call to his subordinates. When several senior mediators heard that the situation was not good, they followed him and asked about the situation in whispers.

Zhou Hongyi was not in a hurry. After a few words, she sat down and waited for him. In the chaos, no one cared about A Yue's position. She was still sitting at the table like a small vase. No one else could do anything about her. This is all a junior high school student can do...

It should be so.

However, A-Yue frowned when she heard this. The boy next to her seemed to say something quietly to her. A-Yue suddenly plucked up the courage to ask him: "Uncle Zhou, if this impeachment fails, what are your plans next?" What to do with us?”

"I follow all the decisions of the board of directors, and I personally will not suppress other shareholders because of this matter." This seemed to be a ridiculous question, and Zhou Hongyi was not in the mood to answer it, so he ignored it for the time being.

A Yue asked again: "Then what are I going to do with my game?"

Zhou Hongyi shook her head, but answered anyway: "I personally don't hope it will make any changes, but no matter what, we do hope that "Super Smash Bros." will be added to our own SNS service..."

"It's impossible." A Yue suddenly said among a group of adults: "I don't agree."

Zhou Hongyi sighed: "Miss Gu, I don't care about all your previous actions, but if you really care about your father's industry, we are your friends. Although Alibaba's boss Ma is rich, he is close to you Just to use you to achieve my own goals..."

"I know, but I can't accept the company's strategy anyway." At this time, A Yue said, "I have seen the company's SNS, and I really hope to contribute to it, but I also have to consider the company and my As for the future of gaming, the current relationship between Yahoo and Yahoo is basically dead, and I can’t let you bury it with other mature products!”
