My 1999

"Still in Hongyan?"

Xu Liang nodded, "From now on, Hongyan will be my private investment institution, similar to Bill Gates' waterfall investment, Walton Enterprise Co., Ltd."

"Family office?"

"That's right."

"Who are you going to let manage?" Jiang Xiaoyang couldn't help but ask.

Xu Liang glanced at her and smiled.

"I am responsible for the investment direction myself, and there is currently no suitable candidate for daily management."

To manage Hongyan Fund, one does not need to have high abilities, the most important thing is loyalty.

The most loyal person around him is Huo Gang. As brothers who grew up wearing crotchless pants together, there is no need to doubt Huo Gang's loyalty.

But it is a pity that he lacks management experience and does not understand financial investment.

Cousin Guo Hong can also do it, but she is too young and lacks management experience and necessary financial knowledge.

If it were his sister Xu Meng ten years later, he would definitely give her this position without hesitation.

Jiang Xiaoyang looked at Xu Liang, who was a little confused, and wisely didn't ask any more questions, as long as it wasn't a certain woman.

She hesitated and finally gave up.

Based on her understanding of Xu Liang, he would not let herself be responsible for Hongyan.

Xu Liang quickly recovered his thoughts.

"You go back, sort out the information, and start integrating the two parties. In ten days, come with me to Xiangjiang."

Jiang Xiaoyang nodded.

——

"Mr. Xu, I just received a fax that you were selected as one of the top ten economic figures in 2001."

He took the fax handed over by Lu Hui, looked at it briefly and then threw it aside.

"Tell them I'm busy and can't go."

"Mr. Xu, this is a major selection. If you refuse, you will offend the other party, which may be detrimental to the development of your company in the future." Lu Hui said quickly.

Xu Liang nodded, "You are right. You can use more tactful words in a moment. Just say that I feel young. Although I have achieved some achievements, I dare not compare with the seniors in the business world, let alone feel ashamed. Receive the honor of 'Top Ten Economic Figures' and let them choose virtuous people.

So be it. "

Looking at Xu Liang who left without looking back, Lu Hui sighed helplessly.

There was nothing she could do when she encountered such a stubborn boss.

Drive all the way to the Ideal Building.

Arrive at the Sina office area with ease.

"Mr. Xu."

The front desk saw him coming in and greeted him quickly.

Contrary to Xu Liang's expectation, the front desk rushed over.

"Mr. Xu, let me take you to the office."

When Xu Liang came to the Sina office area for the first time, he really didn't know where the office arranged for him by Wang Zhidong was.

He glanced at the nameplate on her chest.

Xie Xiaona.

"Lead the way."

"yes."

Xie Xiaona showed joy on her face and quickly led the way.

This scene instantly made other receptionists envious.

Along the way, Sina employees all looked at us in awe.

The impact of the battle for Sina still pervades the Internet and even the entire business world. Sina employees who are involved in this experience feel it particularly clearly.

Now that the dust has settled, Xu Liang stepped into Sina like a king in a victorious manner, which of course made them feel complicated and intimidated.

Sina's office area is very large.

More than 500 people occupy three floors and nearly 6,000 square meters.

Except for the 12th floor where servers are stored, the remaining two floors are office buildings.

Xu Liang's office is located on the middle floor.

"Mr. Xu, this is it."

Xu Liang pushed the door open and went in.

The space is very large, about 120 square meters, with a reception area on the outside, an office area inside, and an additional bedroom where you can take a lunch break.

Xu Liang walked around the office and said, "It's nice here."

Xie Xiaona said quickly: "This was originally Mr. Duan Yongji's office, and it was also Sina's largest office. Mr. Wang specifically asked us to clean it up for you to work in."

Xu Liang nodded, "Sorry to trouble you, go back to work."

After Xie Xiaona responded respectfully, she turned around and walked out with some disappointment.

"What do you think of her?"

Lu Hui said: "I do have good eyesight, but I don't know what my ability is?"

"Let's check it out, and if it's suitable, go to the president's office."

Xu Liang will place one or two secretaries in each of his companies, as a channel for subsidiary personnel to contact him, and of course as an informant.

Although you may not be able to collect much useful key information in the end, having it there is a kind of shock.

"yes."

Lu Hui nodded.

"Lao Zhang?"

Zhang Hongwei responded quickly.

"Recruit more people and replace all Sina's security."

"yes."

Although Xu Liang does not care about the daily management of each of his subsidiaries, he will also deploy his own informants.

The president's office is only one, security force is the second, and the most critical one is finance.

Whether it is domestic subsidiaries or foreign subsidiaries, he arranges these three things personally and will never do anything to others.

After the explanation, Xu Liang walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the busy Zhongguancun below.

"After planning for such a long time, we finally took control of Sina. The next step is to delist it."

Only after delisting can Sina be able to integrate with Hongmeng's many businesses as it pleases, without having to worry about the insistence of shareholders.

Moreover, he has completely mastered the controlling stake. Under the Nasdaq crisis and the general environment where Chinese concept stocks are generally not optimistic, it does not cost much to acquire the remaining shares.

Dong Dong…….

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Wang Zhidong opened the door and walked in.

"Mr. Xu, are you here?"

"Old Wang, come and sit."

When the two sat down, Xu Liang said: "What do the shareholders say?"

When Hongmeng holds more than 30% of the shares, the general tender offer clause has been triggered, so Hongmeng also took advantage of the situation and issued a general tender offer document to sec.

Sina terminated its listing and entered the negotiation stage.

As Vice President of Hongmeng and COO of Sina, Wang Zhidong is fully responsible for negotiations with the remaining shareholders of Sina.

"Most of them accepted our offer of US$4.5, and only Sitong Lifang rejected it. They felt that they should negotiate on the basis of the US$17 listed on Sina."

"Duan Yongji is going to be disgusting and disgusting to us. But it doesn't matter. If he doesn't agree, he won't agree. When we acquire the equity of other shareholders and the outstanding shares are less than 15%, we will still have to delist.

We will take good care of him then. "

Wang Zhidong nodded.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Wang, it's almost time." Lu Hui came over to remind.

Xu Liang nodded and stood up.

"Let's go to the meeting."

A group of people came to the largest conference room in Sina.

The room, which was about 100 square feet in size, was filled with Sina’s middle and high-level executives.

Wang Zhidong walked to the center of the stage and sat down slightly to the left. Xu Liang stood on the podium alone.

Through the bright light, Xu Liang could clearly see the scrutiny, curiosity, and even the hostility that had not dissipated on the faces of the people below.

"I believe everyone here knows me. Regardless of the labels placed on me by the outside world, such as the richest man in the mainland, the youngest entrepreneur, etc., I am essentially the founder of an Internet company."

Xu Liang's voice, clear and loud, echoed in the huge conference room, and his young and confident figure seemed to radiate light, attracting everyone's attention.

“Hongmeng is the third company I founded.

It has been a total of one year and eight months since its establishment.

In this year and eight months, I built Hongmeng into the world's top multinational Internet company. Hongmeng currently has nine subsidiaries including China Headquarters, South Korea, Japan, Xiangjiang, Zhongnan, Nanyang, and Europe.

Its business covers 42 countries and regions in Asia, Europe and America.

But we have more than scale.

On the business side.

Games such as "Legend", the most popular game in China, "Miracle MU", the most popular game in South Korea, and "King of Fighters" with many fans around the world are all under our umbrella.

Although the Chinese New Year is still more than a month away, based on past development trends, our Hongmeng Games revenue will exceed US$400 million for the whole of 2001. "

Those categorical words caused some commotion in the audience.

$400 million?

Sina's current annual revenue is only about US$100 million.

“Our music business has more than 70 million registered users and is currently the largest online music website in the world.

Our other core business, Bing Search, currently has more than 83 million registered users around the world. We have a 1.5 billion search database and more than 180 million daily users.

Even for non-core portals, Naver, owned by Hongmeng, is the largest portal in South Korea, Xiangjiang, Wanwan, and the entire Southeast Asia region.

It currently has 56 million registered users and more than 21 million daily users.

The Pangu browser developed by Hongmeng itself currently has over 100 million daily users and more than 130 million registered users.

The Internet cafe management software developed by Hongmeng currently occupies more than 90% of the market in China and more than 70% of the market in Southeast Asia, and is developing rapidly in South Korea, Japan and other places.

There are many similar examples. "

After pausing for everyone to digest, Xu Liang continued.

“In comparison, Sina, which was established earlier than us, has a market value of no more than 200 million U.S. dollars and is still unable to balance its revenue and expenditure.

So, the topic of our meeting today. "

Xu Liang turned around and wrote four big characters on the blackboard behind him.

"Death to Sina!"

As soon as the theme came out, the audience inevitably became noisy, but it soon subsided.

"Some people may ask, since I am so unfavorable to Sina, why do I still want to acquire it?"

Xu Liang walked to the edge of the rostrum, holding the rostrum with one hand and putting the other hand in his trouser pocket. Under the white light, wearing a bright blue V-neck T-shirt and loose sweatpants, he looked very handsome overall. random.

He has a completely different temperament from those company bosses in suits and ties. His whole person exudes sunshine and vitality.

"Actually, it's very simple. If Sina continues to develop according to your previous strategy, then I am sure that it is not far from death. But if it comes into my hands, its value will explode tenfold and a hundredfold."

After a pause, Xu Liang smiled.

"I know everyone thinks I'm bragging. But it doesn't matter. I will open my heart and talk to you today."
