Reboot 2003

Chapter 92 091: Principle of Common Interest (Two in One)

Gu Wenjie, CEO of Kuaikan Media, personally arrived in Longshan City, a small inland city, so that the accident caused by a child quickly entered the boring framework controlled by adults.

This is obviously doing something bad... Lao Xu's family members, with a little anxiety and guilt, finally stood on the side of the child Xu Lingling. Of course, breaking the law is not good, but Duan Wenxuan is so irresponsible, reporting directly does not necessarily cure her. Is this the way to go?
At the beginning, the disgusting couple seemed very upset, and they argued to the police that they had been wronged, and the one surnamed Hao said harshly that you dare to do such a thing.

Afterwards, Lao Xu accepted this great opportunity that his good daughter won for her without hindrance——

For him, revenge is a luxury that he can't even think about, but now he has this opportunity, even if this opportunity seems a bit inconsistent, it is an opportunity after all.

He didn't want to forgive, he would be released after a few days at most, but if the crime of kidnapping was confirmed, it would be impossible for Duan Wenxuan not to lose her skin, even if it was just abduction or illegal detention, it would be enough for her to drink a pot.

As for Hao Lianhai, he finally put on a smiling face. He judged the situation, did not insist on accusing blackmail, and expressed his willingness to go private through other people's relationship. However, this matter has obviously exceeded the scope of his small boss. At the same time, he also smelled something special. Nothing can be said about it...

Under such circumstances, Hao Lianhai also began to make plans for his own future. He couldn't involve himself in such an inexplicable accident. Although he had no intention of betraying his friends in advance, women are more important than friends.

So Hao Lianhai secretly went to see the boss of Kuaikan Media, but when he went the next day, the boss of Kuaikan Media had already left. He went out to buy a newspaper, but saw a big headline with keywords he was familiar with on the front page——
-
Look at the media official announcement - it only took them half a year to start from scratch to reach a valuation of 2 million!
The tide of the times rushes in, sweeping everyone down to the next stop. Below the tide, one or two children can do very little. Adults like Lao Xu and Boss Hao can hardly get in touch with those core things. Even Gu Wenjie, who is a wave of the times, can only drift with the tide and move forward with a heavy load.

A few days later, the last round of sunset in 2003 fell, and the world went through the old year amidst wars and plagues.

On the last night of the year, the conference room of the Lin’an Hotel was lit all night long. Kuaikan Media, Alibaba and several groups of investors had been negotiating all night. The next morning, the dawn of the era came as scheduled.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Gu? Coincidentally, we have a document for you..."

At the entrance of the Industrial Building, an Alibaba clerk came in and met Gu Wenjie, who happily took out a document from his bag.

Feeling that the atmosphere was not right, Gu Wenjie looked up, and with a cold face, he said angrily, "Where is Ma Yun? Why didn't he come?"

On weekdays, Gu Wenjie was gentle and gentle, but today he looked like an angry lion. The clerk was inexplicably sprayed by him: "Jack is still in Yanjing, I'm here to deliver the new version of the board of directors documents..."

"Let him come by himself, or don't talk about it!"

Gu Wenjie walked away, and the two executives of Kuaikan Media who followed him also left two free eyes; Ali's clerk felt a little puzzled, but he had vaguely heard the rumor, and now he didn't dare to be troublesome, shrank his neck and left quickly.

Gu Wenjie came to the entrance of the elevator, with his hands behind his back, facing the blurred figure in a suit reflected by the iron door of the elevator, he let out a long sigh.

"Mr. Gu, even though Ali did not behave properly this time..."

Manager Liu behind him seemed to have something to say, and Gu Wenjie waved his hand to tell him to shut up. At this moment, the number on the display board dropped to 1. After the elevator door opened, Zhang Tong, the person in charge of Google Tianchao, came out with two subordinates.

"Teacher Zhang……"

Gu Wenjie shook hands with him sincerely, and sighed: "I'm really sorry this time, our company is also very willing to cooperate with Google, but the plan can't keep up with the changes."

Manager Liu, who followed behind, said with emotion: "We are really optimistic about Google's conditions. A large international company like yours has shown such sincerity in negotiating with us. We really have no reason to refuse."

Manager Lin also sighed: "It's a pity that Yahoo and Alibaba..."

"Understood, I can understand." Zhang Tong also sighed, and forced a smile on his tired face after staying up all night, "This failure is not the responsibility of Kuaikan Media. If Kuaikan continues to operate independently in the future, then we can continue to carry out other business cooperation."

"my pleasure."

Zhang Tong shook hands with several people, and then left with his briefcase under his arm.

After parting, the two groups of people left separately. Gu Wenjie entered the floor number of the office, and the air became quiet. Only the LCD advertising screen installed in the elevator recently was playing exaggerated telecommunications company advertisements.After a while, the elevator door opened, and Gu Wenjie walked out with the two managers and returned to his company's office area.

It's only past six o'clock now, but most of the company's people have arrived. Everyone sat at their workstations, but waited absent-mindedly. Seeing Mr. Gu coming, they all stood up from their seats.

Gu Wenjie controlled his facial muscles, imitating Zhang Tong just now, squeezed out a reassuring smile, and then announced loudly: "Success!"

"yeah!"

"I'm rich!"

"The company is worth [-] million!"

"The year-end bonus has tripled!"

"Hahahahaha!"

The employees of Kuaikan Media started booing happily, throwing papers into the air, and the two executives following Gu Wenjie also laughed and applauded, and followed to maintain order: "Okay, okay, if you want to make a fuss when the team is built, go back to work by yourself. The three of us haven't slept all day, and you will have a nervous breakdown if you keep arguing!"

The happy company employees quickly gave way, and Gu Wenjie went back to his office, took two steps and said to the other two: "You two should go to rest too!"

Manager Liu hesitated for a second, then nodded: "Then Mr. Gu, you should go to bed earlier."

Then he left with Manager Lin.

Gu Wenjie returned to his office, and secretary Xiao Yang followed in: "Mr. Gu, that woman from Longshan has agreed to admit that they were instructed by Xinhui."

"understood."

Gu Wenjie lay back on the chair. Xiao Yang had other things to report. Seeing Gu Wenjie's tired face, he could only pick up the important ones and said, "Mr. Gu, what happened this time is actually quite a coincidence. The woman actually just didn't do anything on her own and sued her own child to the court. It's a good thing that they are willing to back down. It can avoid some follow-up troubles for the family. Xinhui.com has already apologized to us in the media and promised to take their counterfeit platform offline."

Gu Wenjie nodded, and Xiao Yang said again: "I think we have been lucky recently. Although we encountered something like today, we didn't suffer any losses. We will learn from this lesson in the future, and the company will definitely get better and better!"

"It's okay, you go and watch some companies with Yongping, I'm going to take a break."

Xiao Yang went out in response, the morning sun shone through the window, Gu Wenjie looked up at the gray ceiling in the morning light.

The dawn of time is coming.

Today’s Kuaikan Media is undoubtedly on the fast track of development. Not only has it just defeated a competitor by chance in a public opinion war, but now all businesses at hand are developing rapidly. In December last year, the year-end single-month turnover reached 12 million for the first time.

If we can talk about investment again, we can have a good year.

However, at this moment, Ali turned his back.

Maybe it's because they think it's more promising to cooperate with Yahoo, maybe it's because Yahoo has exchanged some interests with them, or maybe it's just because they are all Softbank companies...

All in all, just before the final financing plan with Google was about to be finalized, Gu Wenjie was still on a business trip. Ali suddenly violated the negotiating alliance formed by Chen Aotian and forcibly drove Google out of the negotiating table, making Yahoo the final winner of this investment.

Thinking of this, Gu Wenjie took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Chen Aotian: "Aotian, I am really sorry this time."

After sending the text message, Gu Wenjie was also a little bit emotional. After all, no matter what, the financing was successful. Yahoo gave Kuaikan Media a share price of 1.8 million in the end, and bought a 5000% stake and ad.net from Kuaikan Media with 20 million.

In terms of losses, the company certainly didn't lose money, and Gu Wenjie didn't lose money either.

It seems that Chen Aotian is the only one who has lost money... Everyone knows that in this negotiation, Chen Aotian seems to be hoping to sell the few intellectual property rights in his hand with ad.net, and Google is also willing to buy them.

But at the last minute, Alibaba used the intellectual property clause in a previous cooperation contract as an excuse to limit the transfer period of Chen Qin's intellectual property rights, otherwise he would claim sky-high liquidated damages from Kuaikan Media, and put pressure on Gu Wenjie to veto the transaction with Google as a director...

Helpless, Gu Wenjie could only agree.

In many cases, the decision-making of a company cannot be based solely on who has the loudest voice. Although Ali and Kuaikan are brothers in a pair of pants, Kuaikan Media’s business is highly dependent on Ali.

The only one who is sorry is Chen Aotian. Although the financial market is like a battlefield, everyone is a decision-making machine with only interests in their eyes, but after all, running a business is not purely to follow the wind, and it is clearly agreed to advance and retreat together. It is really wrong for Ali to back out now.

Moreover, Chen Aotian suggested that the three parties sign a concerted action agreement with Gu Wenjie as the main body. Gu Wenjie felt that this was unfair to the other two parties, so he didn't sign it in the end. As a result, Chen Aotian's interests were damaged. In fact, he was really sorry for him.

In addition, it is Yahoo's real purpose-they want to completely acquire Kuaikan Media. Although they failed this time, Ali supports this matter, and Yahoo has not given up on this purpose.

During this negotiation, they did not hide their purpose at all. On the one hand, they bought the shares of Kuaikan Media, and on the other hand, they wanted to reduce the controlling stake of other shareholders through contracts. They directly bought 5% of the shares of Chen Qin and Gu Wenjie.

Thinking of this, Gu Wenjie felt a little worried, but at this moment, a text message came back.

Although he didn't come to participate in the negotiation, Chen Aotian didn't sleep all night. He replied quickly: "Wenjie, you have worked hard. Now we are still in the majority. As long as we can keep the company stable, it will not be a problem to keep the company from Yahoo. You are not to blame for this incident. I will continue to fully support you."

Gu Wenjie was a little moved. Of course, anyone can say beautiful words verbally, but in this negotiation, he and Chen Qin urgently negotiated a corresponding clause——

That is, the voting rights transferred between him and Chen Aotian can only be implemented by Gu Wenjie himself, or the CEO candidates that both of them agree on. Once the company elects a new CEO in a way outside the rules, they will have the right to get back this part of the voting rights.

It's just that he didn't expect that in the end, the original partner would stand with him.

Gu Wenjie was feeling so emotional, but remembered something again, quickly took out the computer, and pressed it carefully.

Although Ali did such a bad thing, life still had to go on.

And if considering the future operation of the company's board of directors, Ali will definitely stand on the same side as Yahoo in the future.

So……

Before this financing, Chen Aotian held about 33% of the shares. He cashed out part of the shares and held 35% of the shares. The option pool plus Chen Qin's shareholding of voting rights was 14%, and Ali accounted for about 14%.

After this negotiation, Chen Aotian's equity was diluted and transferred to Yahoo for about 1000% at a price of 5 million, leaving only 24.7% in the end.

His equity has also been diluted and cashed out, reducing it to 26.5%, but Yahoo has only 20%, and Ali has less than 13%.

It seems that within the board of directors of Kuaikan Media, there is no longer a controlling party with a clear advantage.

but……

If his 26.5% is combined with Chen Qin's 24.7%, he still has a 51% advantage in voting rights.

Coupled with the option voting rights of those small shareholders and CEO representatives, it can just reach 67% of the absolute voting rights, just enough to overwhelm Ali and Yahoo...

Is it by chance?

Gu Wenjie looked at the computer and laughed, of course it was accidental, Yahoo certainly did not expect that Chen Aotian would stand with him in the end, and neither he nor Chen Aotian expected that Ali would turn against him in the end.

It's just... Sure enough, compared to these big companies, it's really the partners who are our own people. Everyone has common interests, so that we can run a good company together.

Thinking of this, Gu Wenjie felt better for some reason, and finally replied a text message to Chen Aotian, and also replied to his wife that he will not go home today.

Then he lay on his own sofa, pulled the blanket next to him, and went to sleep directly in the office.
