Chapter 695 Same shares have different rights

"Mr. Tang, what do you mean..."

"Are you interested in selling the original shares of Wahuang Technology?"

Such temptation made Sequoia Chen couldn't help but ask Tang Yuan.

"Yes."

Tang Yuan nodded and answered in the affirmative: "Currently, I alone hold 86% of the shares in Wahuang Technology. I plan to take out 45% of the shares, distribute them according to 5:4:3:2:1, and sell them to the bosses."

Normally, Tang Yuan should hold 80% of the shares in Wahuang Technology, and core technicians such as Wan Xinming hold a total of 20%. However, some time ago, Tang Yuan spent huge sums of money to build a large supercomputing center for Wahuang Technology. As a result, the equity changed again.

Today, Tang Yuan alone holds 86% of the shares, and Wan Xinming and others hold 14%.

As Tang Yuan finished speaking, Penguin Ma pondered for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Tang, everyone knows that you are the cash king of China Overseas. It shouldn’t be as simple as exchanging money for cash, right?”

"Mr. Ma, you guessed right."

“It’s simple, barter for barter.”

Jingdong Qiang asked Tang Yuan on behalf of everyone.

Tang Yuan smiled and nodded, not denying Penguin Ma's guess.

No wonder Tang Yuan, knowing that Wahuang Technology has unlimited future prospects, is still willing to take out such precious original stocks at such a juncture. It turns out that he is also eyeing the original stocks in the hands of everyone here.

If it were a monetary transaction, then it would be easy to say anything, but now that it involves the original equity of the own group, everyone has to be cautious.

"Mr. Tang, what do you want?"

Upon hearing this, many bosses at the scene suddenly showed a look of surprise.

Tang Yuan looked calm and slowly stated his needs: "I hope to exchange the original shares of Wahuang Technology in my hands for the original shares of the bosses."

"If I just want to exchange money for cash, then I can wait until [Wahuang] is released and then take out these shares. The price of these shares will definitely be higher than now, not to mention that I am not short of money at all."

Penguin Group, Alibaba Group, Warwick Group, Jingdong Group, Xiaomi Group, Byte Group, etc., these are all top domestic Internet groups with huge business territories. The original stocks of these groups are also extremely precious, and they are not available at all. Money can buy whatever you want.

"Mr. Tang, what is your psychological valuation of Wahuang Technology? How do you plan to exchange it?"

After the box was quiet for a moment, Arima asked again.

"Mr. Ma, you are all experts in the investment field. I think you all have a strong understanding of the value of Wahuang Technology." "As for how to exchange, I will give you two days to At that time, I will find another place, and all the bosses can come with your group’s technical consultants and let their professionals evaluate [Wahuang] again.”

"Finally, you can write the price you are willing to offer on paper, then put it in an envelope and give it to me. Afterwards, I will contact the bosses by phone based on the price you offer and after comprehensive consideration."

As for the transaction method mentioned by Tang Yuan, many bosses quickly understood that it was nothing more than a variant of hidden bid competition. No one knew what the other party's base price was. Competitors were playing psychological games with each other, and the final price might be higher than the obvious price. The elevation may also be lower than the marked elevation, both possibilities are possible.

"In addition, I will explain to all the bosses in advance that the equity design of our Wahuang Technology is that the same shares have different rights. The voting rights of A shares and B shares are 7:1. If the bosses are concerned, then there is no need to bid in two days. ”

"After I sell all 45% of my shares, I plan to increase the capital of Wahuang Technology by approximately US$50 billion. I will truthfully inform all the bosses about this matter. I hope that all bosses who are interested in bidding will be mentally prepared in advance. ”

Facing the attention of many bosses at the scene, Tang Yuan spoke again. His words and deeds were candid, and he put everything on the table, making many bosses at the scene truly feel Tang Yuan's sincerity.

The same share has different rights. Many CEOs at the scene were not too surprised when they heard this, because this kind of equity design is so common at home and abroad. It can not only obtain the funds needed for the company's development, but also ensure that the founding team has the right to the company. Have absolute control.

Tang Yuan sold 45% of the shares of Wahuang Technology this time, and the remaining shares in his hands are only 41%. Although he is still the largest shareholder in name, if there is no shareholding structure design of different rights for the same shares, then others will join forces and It is not impossible to sideline Tang Yuan or even to kick him out.

Nowadays, according to the setting of 7:1 voting rights between A shares and B shares, even if Tang Yuan only has 15% of the shares left in his hands, he still has absolute control over Wahuang Technology and no one can shake it. his status.

Many bosses at the scene can understand this, because they also have similar control methods in their respective companies.

Take Penguin Group for example. Penguin Horse itself only owns 9.1% of the equity, but it can still firmly hold the position of chairman. Penguin Group's largest shareholder, South Africa's MIH, still has difficulty shaking Penguin Horse's position even though it owns several times more equity than Penguin Horse. Penguin Group's supreme status relies on its firm control of the board of directors, ensuring that the number of directors belonging to its own camp is far greater than that of other shareholders.

It is understandable and humane for Tang Yuan to do this.

Because the same is true for them. Even if they participate in the bidding two days later and choose to exchange the original shares with Tang Yuan, the original shares they give must come with various restrictions, and it is impossible for Tang Yuan to have a chance. Interfering with the management of the group.

As for Tang Yuan's final request for a capital increase of US$50 billion, this was nothing to the many bosses present. US$50 billion seemed like a lot, but after it was divided equally according to the equity, it would not be distributed to everyone. How much.

What's more, Wahuang Technology really needs this capital to continue to develop, so as to ensure that Wahuang Technology's artificial intelligence technology always maintains its leading position in the world.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and Alima asked again: "Mr. Tang, if we become shareholders of Wahuang Technology, can both parties share technology?"

Many bosses on the scene were not interested in management rights, or even if they were interested, it was of no use. Tang Yuan could not give them the slightest chance to take advantage of it, so they paid more attention to actual benefits, and asset appreciation was one aspect.

The more important aspect is whether they have the opportunity to ride on the fast ship of Wahuang Technology. After all, they only behaved because they took a fancy to the advanced technology of Wahuang Technology, which would be of great help to their group. Be so eager.

In response to the expectant looks of many CEOs at the scene, Tang Yuan smiled and nodded: "Mr. Ma, if you become a shareholder of Wahuang Technology, then we are a family. The most advanced technology of Wahuang Technology will naturally be provided to our company first. People, for example, directly embed [Wahuang] into many application software of Alibaba Group, so that all users of Alibaba Group can enjoy the convenience brought by artificial intelligence for the first time..."
