My Age of Investment

family?

The social king of the East and the West?

Xia Jingxing heard what Yuri was saying and his mind was spinning rapidly.

He guessed that Yuri might have received instructions from some capital and came to work as a lobbyist.

“If the social networks of China, the United States and Russia are connected, it can be said to be a global village in the true sense.”

Yuri twitched the corner of his mouth and started to act crazy again. Didn't he make it clear enough?

“Darren, I’m mainly talking about the Chinese social network market.

If the domestic holding group and Penguin holding group continue to fight like this, it will not make much sense and will only harm the interests of shareholders of both parties.

As far as I know, Vision Capital was also a shareholder of Penguin before, right? "

Xia Jingxing said with a straight face: "Yes, we were Penguin shareholders before! But now we are at odds with them!

Penguin has repeatedly provoked us, opposed us, poached our people, plagiarized us, sued us, and recruited allies to besiege us...

They have done too many bad things to count.

Between Hai Nei Holdings and Penguin, one must fall before this matter can come to an end. "

Yuri frowned. He didn't expect that there was such a deep grudge between Xia Jingxing and Penguin, which was difficult to resolve.

"Dylan, can't we reconcile?"

Xia Jingxing glanced at Yuri, "Reconciliation? Tell me how to reconcile?

They caused me to lose billions. Can you make up for this money? "

Yuri was confused. How did he hear that it was Xia Jingxing who caused Penguin shareholders to lose billions?

Version reversed?

Xia Jingxing calculated the accounts for Yuri on his fingers. The Film and Television Industry Investment Fund invested 2 billion, the acquisition of Pixel Software cost 300 million, and Weibo advertising and marketing invested 500 million...

Yuri smiled and said: "Dylan, this is also an investment. How can it be considered a loss?"

"If there were no penguins causing trouble, we wouldn't have to spend all this money."

Yuri immediately shook his head and laughed. He knew that Xia Jingxing was negotiating terms with him, or rather with the force he represented.

If the other party really hated Penguin so much, he wouldn't listen to him at all.

“Darren, let me get this straight, I am speaking to you on behalf of the South African newspaper industry.

The South African newspaper industry said that everyone can cooperate and there is no need to fight for life or death. "

Xia Jingxing asked, "How to cooperate?"

"How about selling you the penguin?"

After saying that, Yuri began to observe the subtle expressions on Xia Jingxing's face calmly.

Xia Jingxing's reaction was very dull. He said "Oh" and said nothing more.

Yuri felt that Xia Jingxing was deliberately manipulating things, and added: "This way we will become a family and there will be no disputes."

"Can the South African newspaper industry be the owner of Penguin? Their shareholding ratio is only more than 30%, right?"

"The shareholding ratio is not important, the key is your attitude, Darren. If you are willing to talk, we can work together to find a solution."

Xia Jingxing leaned back, changed into a comfortable position and lay on the chair, smiled lightly, "What does the South African newspaper industry want?"

"Equity exchange!"

Yuri put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "The deal that Vision Capital, Facebook, Microsoft, Yahoo, and Ali made last year was very good! It can be called a textbook-level capital operation case."

Xia Jingxing understood completely and asked with a smile: "The South African newspaper industry wants to exchange Penguin shares with me for Facebook shares?"

Yuri nodded slightly, "Yes, Facebook only needs to issue a small amount of additional equity to acquire Penguin Group.

Then Facebook injected Penguin Group as an asset into the domestic holding group, which not only helped the domestic holding group realize the unification of China's social network market, but also increased its shareholding ratio in the domestic holding group. "

Xia Jingxing shrugged and said, "The plan is good, but it lacks some feasibility.

If the South African newspaper industry can really convince Bonima to sell the company, so what if I give them a few points of Facebook equity. "

"Dylan, are you sure?"

Yuri's face was full of excitement. He didn't expect that his lobbying mission would be successful so easily.

Xia Jingxing smiled and nodded, "If the South African newspaper industry wants to take action, it must hurry up.

By the time Facebook goes public, its valuation will no longer be what it is now. "

Yuri said seriously: "I will convey it to them."

Xia Jingxing sneered in his heart. He was sure that the South African newspaper industry would be in trouble.

If the South African newspaper industry can really convince Ponema or other Penguin shareholders to sell the company, then the social war in the Chinese market can easily end.

He had no hope of success.

Because according to what he knew about Ponyma, Xiaoma would never sell the company until the end of the road.

But now that there is a good opportunity to create dissension and divide Penguin, he doesn't mind taking advantage of it.

He has made relevant plans before and will not miss any opportunity to weaken or mess up Penguin.

Business competition is inherently all-consuming, not to mention that Penguin also has QQ, a killer weapon, which makes him very afraid.

Having said that, he was somewhat surprised that the South African newspaper industry secretly courted him through Yuri Milner.

Back then, he wanted to acquire all the Penguin shares held by South African Newspapers, but South African Newspapers refused without hesitation.

Even if he paid a premium of 50% or 100%, the other party was still unwilling to sell Penguin shares and his attitude was very determined.

The reason why they have changed their minds now must have been affected by the strong rise of overseas holding groups. They saw Penguin being defeated by overseas holding groups, and their confidence was hit hard.

You know, in the past, Penguin was invincible. With the blessing of QQ traffic, it basically succeeded in whatever it did, and even imitators beat the original creator to death.

Now that Penguin is competing with overseas holdings, many of its past strategies have failed.

In addition, as a super rich man, he can spend large sums of money to support domestic holding groups at any time. The South African newspaper industry should not want to engage in such a meaningless money-burning war.

Facebook is going to IPO soon. From the outside, the capital strength of the founder will definitely be improved to a higher level.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why the South African newspaper industry, which had been loyal to Penguin for twenty years in his previous life, had the idea of ​​​​jumping ship.

Xia Jingxing thinks this is a good sign, indicating that Penguin's shareholders are gradually losing confidence in the company, and it is unlikely that they will have conflicts with the founding management team in the future.

Xia Jingxing thought in his mind that he could try to have more contact with the South African newspaper industry and keep in touch.

It may not necessarily have any effect in the short term, but in the long term, it may be of some use.

Thinking of this, he felt that he should maintain a good relationship with Yuri Milner, the middleman.

This guy has a bald head and his pimping skills should be pretty good.

In the investment industry, pimping ability is inversely proportional to the thickness of hair. People like Blankfein, Bao Bufan, and Yuri Milna in front of me are all bald.

Before Xia Jingxing could take the initiative to speak, Yuri Milner started to show his kindness again.

"Darren, are you interested in investing in Mao Xiong's Internet? I can help introduce you."

Xia Jingxing's eyes lit up and he looked very happy, "Really? That's great!"

Yuri Milner laughed, "No problem, it's all covered by me."

Xia Jingxing actually had little interest in the Mao Xiong Internet market, but he just deliberately owed Yuri Milner a favor.

Making friends starts with owing favors.

"Does DST have any plans to enter China?" Xia Jingxing began to return the favor.

Upon hearing this, a flash of light flashed in Yuri Milner's eyes.

Chinese market!

He has been coveting it for a long time, and his next plan is to go in and capture those high-quality companies.

DST is not short of money at all now. It has the support of several oligarchs behind it. It can even buy as many shares as it wants of Facebook, the world's most expensive unlisted company, but only if Xia Jingxing agrees.

As for the Chinese market, the brilliant success of the three BAT companies allowed Yuri Milner to see the booming development of the Internet in that economic hotspot. Internet companies with a market value of tens of billions of dollars were born one after another. In the future, there will even be a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars. Internet companies are possible.

Although his motherland, Mao Xiong, is also one of the top three countries and is the only two big countries in the world that have not been massively occupied by the American Internet, its economy is not as good as that of the United States and its population is not as good as that of China. Therefore, it is destined to be unable to grow as fast as China and the United States. Such a dazzling flower of the Internet.

He sighed slightly in his heart, but when he thought about China's economic potential and demographic dividend, he quickly became excited again.

A song couldn't help but resound in his mind, and he was listening to this song at that time. From the Red Empire, which had entered the countdown to disintegration, he embarked on the road of studying abroad in the Western world.

Together We will go our way

Together We will leave someday

…

This song is called "Go West". Chinese people like to call it "Go to the west entrance, ride on the crane to the west", or "All the way to the west".

Yuri Milner looked out the window, his eyes seemed to span the entire Pacific Ocean, and he saw the hot land of the Internet to the west.

"Dylan, thank you! I owe you a favor."

Xia Jingxing looked at Yuri's hand and stretched out his hand to shake it, "We help each other, you help me enter the bear market, and I'll help you enter the Chinese market.

Oh, by the way, I owe you another favor.

You were a former particle physics researcher at the National Academy of Sciences, right? "

Yuri was stunned for a moment, wondering why Xia Jingxing mentioned this, and nodded subconsciously.

"Then you should know many furry bear scientists? Are there any who are engaged in aerospace technology or computers?"

Yuri smiled and said: "I resigned before the empire was disintegrated, so I don't know any scientists.

But if you want to find someone in our furry bear country, then if you find me, you have found the right person. "

Yuri, who has the support of several oligarchs behind him, speaks very confidently, because with the energy of the forces behind him, finding a few scientists in Mao Xiong is as easy as eating and drinking.

Xia Jingxing smiled. With the help of local snakes, the poaching should be settled. Let's see if we can get two rocket engines back.

Mao Xiong is still very powerful when it comes to big projects.
