Age of Dreams

Since the beginning of the new year, the four major portals have been negotiating with Huangfu Holdings Co., Ltd. regarding the rights and interests of Weibo.

After one or two years of hard work on the four major portals, the total number of Weibo users has exceeded 600 million, of which monthly active users have exceeded 300 million.

If it is placed in the United States, the Weibo company is basically at least 10 billion US dollars in valuation. In China, even if it is a little less, it has reached 35 billion yuan.

It can be said that it is the efforts of the four major portals that make Weibo have such great achievements.

But by April 2010, their Weibo management rights will end. The four major portals originally felt that relying on their own website stickiness, they should be able to retain users.

But what I didn't expect is that Weibo has developed so rapidly that everyone has a huge stickiness on Weibo, and it can stand alone on the four major portals.

Then they panicked.

Looking at the Weibo platform that they have been working hard to grow, they were finally picked off by Huangfu Holdings Co., Ltd. They were of course unhappy and reluctant.

Therefore, they discussed together and decided to request Huangfucai whether they would buy shares in Weibo, or the two sides would cooperate, cross-holding, and cooperate together to continue Weibo's operation.

Huangfu Holding Co., Ltd. has two major products under its umbrella, one is a Weibo company that allows the promotion and operation of the four major portals, and the other is a more popular WeChat company.

At present, most of the company’s elites are working hard at WeChat and have developed it into the world’s number one instant voice communication company. Although there are still considerable losses, since the launch of the WeChat wallet, people have Seeing a broad prospect for mobile payment. As well as the huge potential for online commerce, Weixin’s valuation has soared all the way, and has exceeded 200 billion yuan.

Therefore, the senior management of the company is not so important to the Weibo company, after all, they have been separated from the main body of the company's operation for a long time. The relationship is not so deep.

But Huangfu Cai thinks differently from them. Weibo is the first idea she came up with. Naturally, she has deep feelings, so she is not willing to give up Weibo at all.

Facing the opinions of the four major portals, Huangfucai chose to cross shareholding, let go of the shackles given to them, and let the Weibo company continue to develop benignly, without losing control of its own side.

In this world, everything depends on strength to speak.

There are actually many ways to cross shareholding. There are also many results.

If Huangfu Holding Co., Ltd. is just a company that has developed the Weibo product, then the four major portals and its cross-holding must be exchanged with their own shares, and then continuously relying on the introduction of investment and additional issuance, will Huangfu Holdings Co., Ltd. is driven out of the interest circle of Weibo, and then enjoys the profit by itself.

If Huangfu Holding Co., Ltd. is strong, then everyone will cooperate on an equal footing and follow normal business rules.

however. Now Huangfu Holdings Co., Ltd. is not only strong, but also very strong. Not just because of the popularity of WeChat. It was also because behind Huangfucai, this stunning beauty, stood Xiao Qi, the world's richest man.

With Xiao Qi, if he provokes him, then it is possible for him to forcibly acquire the four major portals.

Not to mention the poison pill counterattack encountered during Shanda’s previous acquisition of Xinglang, the four major portals know it, let alone a poison pill plan. Even with the Ten Times Poison Pill Plan, Xiao Qi could buy it directly without frowning.

When a person's wealth reaches more than US$500 billion, basically there is no force in the world that can prevent his normal business acquisitions.

What's more, as a local snake in China, the people in charge of the four major portals know that most of Xiao Qi's 500 billion US dollars is the business of the fairy company. Regarding the important Xiaoyao series of the Fairy Company, whether it is Forbes or Fu Run's rankings, they are invisible with their eyes open, greatly underestimating their value.

If you calculate carefully, Xiao Qi's 500 billion US dollars will be increased by 300 billion dollars without any problem at all.

Think about it, is there any pressure to oppose such a richest man in the world?

It's just under pressure!

Therefore, when the four major portals negotiated with Huangfu Holdings Co., Ltd., they were very careful not to let themselves suffer, nor to force Huangfu Holdings Co., Ltd. excessively. It was really walking on thin ice.

After two or three months of negotiations, there has finally been a preliminary agreement result recently.

Weibo's valuation is still calculated based on the CNY 35 billion during the Spring Festival. 18% of the shares are exchanged for 22.5% of Xinglang, and 15% of the shares are exchanged for 12.2% of Penguin's shares.

Then, Wang Yi gave all his existing Weibo users and technical data to Xinglang to operate, thus occupying 7% of Weibo’s shares, while Wang Yi gave Huangfu Holding Co., Ltd. 1.2 billion yuan for the purchase of shares. . ——This is the price of 3.5% of the shares, and the remaining 3.5% is used as a fee for the transfer of their user data. This is the benefit of Xinglang, and Huangfu Holding Co., Ltd. pays the bill.

Similarly, Sohu Company also transfers its users and technical data to Penguin for operation, occupying 6% of Weibo's shares. Sohu Company has to give Huangfu Holding Co., Ltd. 1 billion as the share purchase fee, and the price is The reason is the same as that of Wang Yi.

In private, Xiao Qi also transferred the shares of Weibo Company that he had bought with RMB 2 billion to Huangfu Holding Co., Ltd. at the original price. Although it was completely equivalent to giving shares to Huangfu Cai, the little fairy was his wife, Xiao Qi. Naturally, I am willing to do so.

As a result, Weibo’s largest shareholder Huangfu Holding Co., Ltd. owns 56.8% of the shares, the second largest shareholder Xinglang owns 18% of the shares, the third largest shareholder Penguin is 12.2%, and the fourth largest shareholder is Wang. Yi's 7%, and the fifth largest shareholder is Sohu's 6%.

However, Wang Yi and Sohu completely withdrew from the operation of the Weibo company, and the entire Weibo company was converted to the two platforms of Xinglang and Penguin.

In the next ten years, if the number of active users of Weibo Company reaches a certain number, Xinglang and Penguin have the right to request another share swap from Huangfu Holding Co., Ltd., but they cannot purchase it through cash.

This transaction model is to enhance cooperation between several major companies and also to increase Huangfu Holdings' influence on the Internet.

In fact, during the transaction with the four major portals, Huangfu Holdings lost a little bit, but Huangfu Cai didn't care about it. She had a broad mind. For these meritorious officials, she was naturally willing to reward them.

The four major portals have even taken a lot of advantage. Wang Yi and Sohu are gloriously exiting the business, but they have equity in Weibo, which prevents them from being squeezed out of the market.

Xinglang and Penguin have even more benefits. They obtained the actual operating rights of Weibo Company through share swaps, and became the major shareholders of Weibo Company. They would not worry about being picked by Huangfu. The user data and technical data worth more than 1 billion are obtained by spending money, and it is both obvious and secret.

Huangfu Cai did not forget what Xiao Qi said. When the Weibo company’s transaction had just ended, she spent a total of 6.6 billion yuan backhand to buy 15% of Wang Yi and 15% of Sohu’s shares, thus becoming the four major portals. Important major shareholders have also formed a strong network influence.

Not to mention, the future development of WeChat company in China will definitely be more smooth and smooth-WeChat was originally rooted on the Internet, and now the online portal sites have Huangfucai shares in it, so it is natural to If you prefer Huangfucai a little bit, you will also take care of the WeChat company a lot.

The giants of the four major portals, when signing the agreement, all came to Rongcheng in person and visited Huangfucai.

According to the talks that the little fairy talked about after returning home, it was unexpectedly placed on the listing of Weibo.

A joint-stock company has great benefits in terms of financing. If there is a lack of funds, then expand the shares to raise funds, and further collect money for your own use.

Especially Huaguo’s joint-stock companies, many of them are unscrupulous iron cocks. They use the money of retail investors but never pay any dividends. This means that they can collect money indefinitely, but they don’t need to give anything. The return is much more convenient and comfortable than borrowing from the bank!

Compared with stock companies, Internet companies are big money-burning companies. In this case, it is even more natural to go public to earn money.

The investment of the Weibo company in the past few years has changed from little to more. For further development in the future, it is naturally impossible for Huangfucai to keep posting money alone, so it is normal to be self-financing on the right track.

Therefore, in order to allow the company to have more surplus money for development, the four major portals have long been thinking about listing the Weibo company~www.readwn.com~ This time they came together, just to inquire about Huangfucai. Of the opinions.

Huangfu Cai was not interested in these complicated things, so after coming back, she asked Xiao Qi directly.

The young man had expected such a situation a long time ago, so he was well prepared.

He certainly supports the listing of Weibo companies.

After all, Weibo has already diversified its shares and has five major shareholders. In the future, it will further dilute the equity. Whether it holds 50% or not is not the most important thing.

The most important thing for the Weibo company is to form an alliance with the four major portals. Everyone has cross-holding shares. To a certain extent, the interests are the same. This can join hands to do a lot of things.

Even if it is listed, the interests of the five companies are the same. The five of them who have a total of at least 70% of the shares are not afraid of being robbed of control by laymen. At the same time, they can also have more development funds and be under the pressure of self-financing. It will encourage them to develop more seriously.

It's just that the time to go public is not yet here! (To be continued...) u
