Fight To the Third Generation

First, cash out 40 million US dollars from the options market and transfer it to the other party's company account as soon as possible.

According to the stipulations in the agreement, the buyer and the seller need to pay double compensation if they breach the contract. In this way, as the ICQ shareholders receive the money, the transaction has basically stabilized, unless there is a big tycoon who is willing to help and bear the additional 40 million US dollars. compensation.

After dealing with this matter, Su Yehao took Xiao Nizi to San Francisco for a walk, watching art exhibitions, listening to symphony music, and going to Chinatown to find something to eat.

Two more days passed.

A group of reporters were officially called, and a contract for a comprehensive acquisition was signed in public.

On the day the contract was signed, the funds from Bank of China and McKinsey arrived one after the other.

The 300 million RMB from the Midea Group has been credited to the account. After Su Yehao said hello to his father, the accountant from Cosmopolitan International also began to connect with him, and would transfer another 600 million Hong Kong dollars to him through the bank.

In addition, the funds of the First Quanye Bank have already begun to go through the process, and only the final approval of the head office is needed. It is said that there will be no more problems.

A large amount of money raised everywhere was transferred out in batches like this.

Considering that in just over a week of preparation time, Su Yehao earned more than 100 million US dollars by playing options and stock futures with leverage. In fact, he still has a lot of money left, which can just be used for the next development. It will be invested in batches depending on the situation. In the company, it will not be forced to death by cash flow.

For the time being, there is no need to worry about how to repay the money. The management of the two companies has already begun to contact, and it has been confirmed that TVT advertisements will be placed in the ICQ instant chat software, and the plan to re-rectify ICQ and increase social functions.

In Su Yehao's vision, TVT is like QQ, while ICQ, which focuses on chat functions, is obviously more like WeChat.

[To tell the truth, recently I have been using Mimi to read and read books to keep up with updates, switch sources, and read aloud tones, which can be used by Android and Apple. 】

The two can develop independently, focusing on different user groups, and at the same time forming competitiveness in the field of chat and social networking, which is equivalent to two subsidiaries of a parent company, and will expand in depth in finance, marketing, etc. Cooperation. .

The specific approach needs to be pondered again, and McKinsey Consulting will still be responsible for the subsequent merger and rectification work.

On May 20, 1998.

In the early morning, Su Yehao, who had just completed the notarization of his driver's license, drove his newly bought silver Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR and blasted the streets all the way.

The car is definitely a good car, with strong performance and a particularly handsome appearance.

It's a pity that the chassis is too low. If it weren't for the new roads in Silicon Valley, it would be troublesome to get on the road, and passersby may think it is handsome. Only Su Yehao knows the tension.

After finally driving to the ICQ headquarters, Su Yehao parked his car at the door and beckoned to the bodyguards to take the suitcase out of the trunk of the following Big G.

When a new boss meets an employee, he will definitely not be able to buy people's hearts without putting in a little effort.

So he brought some small gifts, a total of more than 3 million US dollars in cash. After going upstairs, he called the employees and opened the boxes in public. He just said that it was a mid-year reward issued in advance. As long as they are regular employees, each person will receive 10,000 US dollars. , Even external cleaners, security guards, etc., can also get five thousand cash.

The employees, of course, loved this kind of unexpected joy. Combined with the salary increase that the union applied for for them, many people accepted Su Yehao easily, and in a blink of an eye, they forgot their old employer.

Before the transaction, the representatives of the employee union had obtained benefits from Su Yehao, such as salary increases, no layoffs, and stock options. These employees really had nothing to worry about.

Some of them even hoped that Su Yehao would lay off them, so that they would directly receive compensation equivalent to two years' wages. Wouldn't it be better to rest at home.

As for the equity, the company has not improved recently, and these employees also understand that a total of 2% of the shares, after being allocated to each person, is not worth a lot of money, so some people don't care too much.

The only real worries today are those middle and senior management who have not made any money in the acquisition process and are confused about the future.

Ordinary employees don't have to worry about anything, but they, the management, may lose their current positions at any time because of the company's acquisition. It is normal for companies to start a major cleaning after the acquisition. After finally climbing to the current position, no one is willing to kicked off...

At this moment.

Su Yehao, who was in a suit and leather shoes, asked the company accountant to distribute the money, and the extra money could be organized to invite everyone to dinner.

There is nothing to communicate with ordinary employees, and the more contacts, the more troublesome things will be, so he only calls more than ten middle and senior managers to the conference room according to the list drawn up in advance.

After taking their seats, Su Yehao sat upright, took a sip of tea and said:

"I paid a lot of money for the acquisition of this company, you should be able to feel that I came with sincerity. There will be some minor changes next, mainly in the customer target group of the product. , there will be no major problems in the short term, and you will continue to maintain the current state of work. I will make money in the future, and everyone will be able to make a fortune together."

Don't talk about ideals, don't talk about feelings, open your mouth is to make money and make a fortune.

Although a bit vulgar, but very down to earth.

A young white man raised his hand and asked tentatively, "New boss, what do you mean by change... what exactly do you mean?"

"I asked John Zhou to contact you two days ago. He should have mentioned that I want to add new elements to ICQ's chat software. UU reading www.uukanshu.com Some plans are still in preparation, but I hope you will next , everyone downloaded a TVT instant chat program and tried its group chat and social features seriously."

Su Yehao lacked confidence in his English. He spoke very slowly, trying not to make mistakes, and then added:

"Actually, I think TVT is more promising than the current ICQ. It was smooth when there was no competition in the past, but there are more and more products in the chat market. If there is no change, ICQ will soon decline."

He simply came by himself, then beckoned, and asked Linda Yun, who acted as a translator, to help explain the plan for the cash reward.

Specifically, according to the working years, work performance appraisal, etc., learning TVT adopts the employee level division system, and each time the number of active users reaches a new height, the bonus pool will be unlocked.

Starting from the current 7 million monthly active users, when it reaches 10 million, you can get a reward of 5 million US dollars, and when it reaches 15 million monthly active users, you can divide another 10 million.

Different levels can receive different bonus amounts. Everyone here is a management team, and there will definitely be advantages at the level. In the future, another option reward plan will be formulated.

This is mainly to spend a small amount of money to prevent employees from starting to slack off after several existing executives have left.

In addition, there are new regulations for year-end bonuses, which have been increased from one month's salary to three months' salary.

This treatment is indeed a lot higher than before.

While the management present here was happy, they did not forget the plan of blood transfusion and drainage to TVT, saying that it may affect the follow-up development of ICQ.

In this regard, Su Yehao only said that the weak eat the weak. If the user is really taken away by TVT, it only means that ICQ is not good enough...
