Chapter 251 Annual profits and taxes of billion

"I support Mr. Luo's idea!"

A representative from the Long Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission stood up to join in the fun: "If Mr. Ma has the idea of ​​selling shares, we are willing to accept all WeChat shares from Penguin Group."

"honestly."

“Before investing in WeChat, we were mentally prepared that we would not be able to achieve profitability within five years, and we were not mentally prepared to participate in profit dividends.”

"Unexpectedly, WeChat has rapidly grown into one of the international Internet giants in just 17 months since its establishment."

"It's a miracle."

"Such achievements have far exceeded our investment expectations, and we are willing to increase our holdings of more WeChat shares."

Long Province is a direct beneficiary of the rapid rise of Bytedance Group.

Annual profits and taxes are 52.5 billion.

Among them, WeChat contributed 12.7 billion.

At this critical moment, if you don't stand up to support your own children, you will be sorry for such a generous tax.

grandma's.

Just this one enterprise is enough to bring Long Province's annual fiscal revenue out of poverty, and it will no longer have to worry about the province's faculty and staff being unable to pay their salaries.

Moreover, this enterprise still has a bright future.

How long will it take if we don’t take action now?

"Okay! Don't forget I didn't tell you!"

Xiao Ma was scolded twice and could only sit back in his seat with an embarrassed look.

Selling shares?

Don't even think about it!

This is a business where you can make money on your own, so why sell it?

But Ben Saini took it seriously. He put his hands on the table and looked at Brother Ma with stern eyes: "Mr. Ma, if your group really has the idea of ​​selling shares, please contact me."

"I'll give you a good price."

“Since we did not participate in WeChat’s first round of financing, we hold too few shares on hand and will never miss the opportunity to increase our holdings.”

"Please believe in my sincerity!"

What the hell!

Why are you all coming for me?

Brother Ma was dumbfounded.

But he had to respond seriously: "Dear His Highness Ben Saini, I really have no plans to sell WeChat shares. I just hope that Mr. Chairman will consider the interests of shareholders and not excessively improve the treatment of employees."

"Is the salary of WeChat employees high? It's only 4,000 euros. I think there is a need for improvement!"

Ben Seney shrugged and sat down.

He curled his lips in confusion.

From the prince's point of view, an income of four thousand euros is indeed not considered a high salary.

It’s shameless to tell anyone.

Employees of companies that own shares only receive 4,000 euros, which is simply unreasonable.

It should be raised to 10,000 euros to be enough!

The number of employees is not large.

The total number of WeChat employees worldwide, including cleaning, driver and other service positions, is less than 20,000.

What's there to be anxious about?

Fortunately, the prince knew that he was not a major shareholder and could not speak his mind on behalf of other shareholders.

He could only show his disdain on the corners of his mouth and refuse to continue speaking.

"Dear shareholders!"

Seeing that the dispute had subsided for the time being, Luo Hui spoke up and revealed the theme of the shareholders' meeting: "I invite you all to attend the meeting today. In addition to participating in profit distribution, there is another important matter to discuss - is WeChat considering going public?"

Going public is a big deal.

Especially for those shareholders who are not very firm in their stance, it is an excellent opportunity to exit and arbitrage.

For business managers, going public actually makes management more difficult.

There are many cool operations that cannot be put on the table and you will no longer be able to do them.

For example, spend money on surprise.

Luo Hui dared to do this this time, mainly because the company has not yet been listed, so he does not have to face market supervision and can spend whatever he wants.

Once successfully listed, if you want to suppress the company's profit margin, you will face many doubts.

If not, you might even have to sit down.

However, WeChat has many shareholders, and such a major decision cannot be made by him alone.

It can only be raised at the shareholders' meeting to see the specific opinions of shareholders.

"Listing, must be listed!"

Xiao Ma was the first to jump out and express his opinion: "After the company is listed, the supervision will be more transparent, which will be conducive to WeChat's future development plan. I firmly support the listing plan."

Of course you want to go public!

After WeChat goes public, the huge financial income will shock everyone's attention.

It exposed the nature of WeChat as a financial company, thus causing users to resent it.

QQ will have the opportunity to increase the number of registrations.

Luo Hui was well aware of Brother Xiao Ma's inner plan, but he did not rush to express his position. He sat in the chair and waited for other shareholders to express their positions.

"I also support listing!"

Ben Seni tapped his fingers on the table and frowned slightly: "Expanding the shareholding ratio through market transactions seems to be the only opportunity for me to increase my shareholding. Of course I cannot give up."

The prince took the lead.

Wangye shareholders from other GCC countries expressed their support one after another, with extremely fiery eyes: We also want to increase our holdings of WeChat shares.

Must be listed!

“Supporting listing and transparent management can indeed give us more expectations for WeChat’s future.”

"Hey, we only have 1% of the shares. It doesn't matter whether we support it or not."

“Let’s go public!”

"We at Yinxiang Group also support the listing plan."

"..."

Wangye shareholders took the lead, and other provincial SASAC shareholders expressed support for the listing plan.

Everyone is not stupid. Although the operation management of WeChat can give a reasonable explanation for the unexpected spending in the second half of the year, it has always been a thorn in the hearts of shareholders.

Although listing will not prevent the management team from continuing to make such operations, it will need to face greater resistance.

A good thing for shareholders.

After all, who doesn’t want to get more dividends?

Every year, like this year, if all the dividends that should be distributed to shareholders are suddenly spent, when will the capital be recovered?

not to mention.

The shares in your hands will definitely be more valuable after listing.

When you need money urgently, you can turn it into huge cash flow through stock market operations at any time.

"Then go public!"

Luo Hui is a bachelor. Seeing that most shareholders support listing, he immediately made a decision: "Then, WeChat has only one main task this year - listing!"

"Next, the entire management team will work hard to achieve the goal of going public."

"I have plans for going public."

"We are currently preparing to be listed simultaneously on the three major stock markets of Shanghai, Hong Kong and Riyadh to ensure that the interests of shareholders are protected to the maximum extent."

"Based on the experience of past listed companies, the biggest obstacle to such a listing plan comes from Shanghai."

"Because there is no precedent."

"So far, no company has made such a choice."

"We will be the first to take advantage of this."

"To face difficulties in this regard, the company needs the cooperation of shareholders of the provincial-level State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and hopes to successfully obtain listing access qualifications in the Magic City Market."

"Other than this, I can't think of any other obstacles."

"After all, our WeChat company's continuously rising registration volume and increasingly huge financial services profits will not lie to anyone."

"I believe."

"Whether it is the Shanghai stock market, Hong Kong stock market or Riyadh stock market, we all welcome a high-quality quasi-blue chip company like WeChat to settle in."

Well, he's been planning this for a long time.

The original plan was to list on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Xiangcheng Stock Market, absorbing domestic capital while not forgetting to absorb international capital.

Later, when I saw the income potential of financial services in the Middle East market, I had to consider it for the princes.

joke.

The prince, who has a lot of money in his hands, has never been short of investment projects?

However, no international company has ever gone to the Riyadh stock market to seek financing.

The Riyadh stock market has turned into a small market where princes form groups to enjoy themselves.

just now.

As long as WeChat enters the Riyadh market, it will definitely set off a boom in stock market investment.

While it will help expand the influence of the Middle East financial market, it can also push WeChat's stock price to the sky.

This deal must be a good deal.

Especially for shareholders who want to sell their shares, it is the most beneficial way to go public.

"I object!"

Brother Ma raised his hand to object: "Why don't we list on Nasdaq, which has more funds?"

“That’s where we can push WeChat’s stock price to the highest point.”

"Nasdaq also has enough funds to absorb all the increased shares of WeChat. It does not need to be divided into three parts and listed on three different markets as it is now."

"How troublesome."

“After all, each market’s regulatory rules are nuanced.”

"According to the current listing method, the management team has to prepare three teams familiar with different regulatory rules to handle listing matters."

"Isn't this a waste of manpower?"

Ok?

Are you questioning the size of the capital in the Riyadh stock market?

Ben Seni's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he stared at Brother Ma: "Mr. Ma, I think Mr. Chairman's listing plan is very good. There are enough funds in the Riyadh stock market to support WeChat's stock price!"

If you can do it, stop making noise!

Looking at Ben Seni's gloomy face, Luo Hui hid aside leisurely and gloated.

pity.

The prince seemed to have no intention of continuing the argument. He could only explain: "Mr. Ma, you have to recognize the reality. WeChat's payment system is actually a challenge to the hegemony of the United States."

"Sooner or later it will be sanctioned."

"I went to Nasdaq to list because I thought WeChat wasn't dying fast enough?"

"Only listed separately."

"Dispersing the shares to the three major stock markets of Shanghai, Hong Kong and Riyadh can avoid the freezing of funds when sanctions are imposed."

"Our shareholders' money will still be in their own hands."

“The money in the WeChat payment system can also be in your own hands without fear of being confiscated by the colonizers.”

"Safety first!"

“My first consideration in my listing plan is capital security, ensuring the interests of shareholders and the financial security of the capital pool.”

"No need to take any risks."

Financial security?

hiss!

Is there any risk in going public in Beacon?

Are you serious?

The shareholders turned to look at Luo Hui, with clear stupidity in their eyes: Would Yingjiang be so shameless and directly freeze WeChat's shares?

The same is true of the eyes of some princes.

There was a smile in the corner of Ben Seni's eyes, and he nodded slightly in agreement: "Please believe in Mr. Chairman's decision-making, which involves monetary hegemony. There is nothing in this world that a lighthouse cannot do."

"and."

“WeChat’s capital pool is too large and it is not suitable to be operated under the supervision of a hegemon.”

"Faced with the temptation of hundreds of billions of dollars, I believe those stupid political thugs in Beacon will definitely take action to rob us."

"No exaggeration at all!"
