Rebirth of Hong Kong's tycoons, shorting Eagle Sauce

After having this idea, the idea of ​​making a chat software could no longer be shaken off.

Seeing Xiao Ma Ge's heart was moved.

Wang Lei continued to give his own suggestions:

"I will give you a seed round investment of 5 million, you will set up your own team, and invest 50% in technology and management!"

Most people would be unable to walk when they heard 5 million, and would agree without thinking.

But the other party was Xiao Ma Ge.

A person destined to be rich and powerful.

At this time, he made hundreds of thousands of dollars by speculating in stocks, and later he started a business with this money.

In 1998, 700,000 was still very valuable, more than enough to start a small company.

Moreover, Xiao Ma Ge himself had a good family background, his parents had business experience, and his vision was not comparable to that of ordinary people. He was very sensitive to shares, and immediately realized that Xiao Wang, who was a big shot in the world, was coming for him from the beginning.

Could it be that my hand in the stock market surprised the other party.

The other party also thought that I was a golden scale talent?

Xiao Ma Ge decisively refused:

"Mr. Wang, I'm sorry, 50% of the shares is too much, I can't agree to it."

Wang Lei immediately misunderstood and thought that Xiao Ma Ge was being modest, and laughed:

"50% is already too little for your founding team, and I'm not a vampire capitalist..."

Xiao Ma Ge scratched his head and said bluntly:

"What I mean is, I think it's a bit too much for you to take away 50% of the shares at once. I lost the ownership of the company at the beginning."

Wang Lei was stunned and suddenly found that Xiao Ma Ge was more difficult to deal with than he thought.

How could he not guess Xiao Ma Ge's mentality at this time:

I have a start-up capital of 700,000 yuan, and a project. I can find a group of classmates and friends to start a business at any time. It will take less than two months to make a product. By then, with my parents' background, it will not be easy to get a few million in financing.

Internet companies are all going to go public.

50% of the shares? You are dreaming.

In response, Wang Lei smiled calmly:

"Do you think I get a lot?"

"Then I tell you, I can find more than ten entrepreneurs who are better than you at any time to hold an entrepreneurial competition. The content is instant messaging. No matter whether you can make it to the end or not, you can get a dream fund of one million. Those who make it to the end will get full support from Bailong and Wang..."

The big chaebol left a mental blow to Xiao Ma Ge, who had not yet started his business.

This is the brutal capital. They don't care who you are, who your team members are, or what you did before. With a lot of money thrown in, there will always be someone who can run away.

As long as Wang Lei wants to intervene, the track of instant messaging software will become a deadly track.

What capital do you have to bargain with the other party?

Giving you 50% of the shares is giving you face.

Wang Lei did not interrupt Xiao Ma Ge's psychological construction. He did have the idea of ​​finding someone else to do it.

Penguin has been born for so many years, and their set has been studied thoroughly by everyone.

As long as the person you find is not too stupid and has the right time, place and people, it is possible to surpass Penguin.

But doing so will add a lot of uncertainty. Wang Lei prefers to go with the flow. Who knows whether a son of the plane like Xiao Ma Ge will explode.

Sure enough, after thinking about it, Xiao Ma Ge took a step back wisely:

"Mr. Xiao Wang, how about you invest 5 million and hold 49% of the shares?"

This is the last stubbornness of the son of the Internet version.

"Okay, deal!"

Xiao Ma Ge was also very happy. He really wanted to start a business. Now that he has Mr. Xiao Wang's thigh, the road ahead will definitely be less bumpy.

Wang Lei's mood is also complicated.

In the original history, Penguin encountered a financial crisis in the early stage of its entrepreneurship. When borrowing from the bank, it frequently hit a wall. The other party kept asking how many computers the company had, which made Xiao Ma Ge very speechless.

The most valuable thing for Internet companies is still users. Banks don't understand what mortgage value a company with no net assets has.

There was no way to make money. With the rapid increase in users, the maintenance of additional servers and equipment was a huge expense, which made the entrepreneurial team breathless.

So much so that Pony Ma wanted to sell Penguin directly, and wavered with Sohu and local state-owned enterprises on the price.

Once the price had been agreed, when the other party came to receive the assets, Pony Ma again refused to sell.

Finally, he met Yingke Digital, owned by Li Ershao.

You say Li Ershao has vision, he actually invested in Penguin among many projects, and exchanged 20% of the shares for 200 US dollars.

You say he has no vision, he sold the shares of Penguin for 20 million US dollars halfway.

Although he seemed to have made ten times the profit, he actually lost 100 Yingkes, and Li Ershao also missed the only chance to surpass his father in wealth.The huge Penguin Empire will have a peak market value of 4 trillion Hong Kong dollars in the future. If Li Ershao had not been in a hurry to sell his shares, his net worth would have far exceeded that of his father.

Wang Lei's mood at this time was also very subtle. With him, it was almost impossible for IDG and South African Newspaper Group to become major shareholders.

But with Xiao Ma Ge's smart mind, he would definitely not let him dominate the board of directors. Sooner or later, he would continue to attract new capital parties through financing, or it is also possible to use the same shares with different rights.

Wang Lei thought about it. If Penguin really wants to raise funds, it would be a good choice to bring Li Ershao in. At least everyone is still friends.

I hope that Li Ershao will not make a fool of himself this time and sell Penguin's shares halfway.

If it really doesn't work, let his white glove Cayman Capital also get involved. It's better to save money for himself than for South African Newspaper Group.

...

Half a month later, Sitong Lifang announced a big news that shocked the entire Dragon Internet.

Well, at this time, the Internet in Longguo had just started, and the only three portal websites with a certain scale were Wangyi, Sitong Lifang, and Sohu.

The news released by Sitong immediately attracted the attention of competitors.

Ding Sanshi looked at the newspaper handed over by his friend Zhou Zhuolin, frowning.

A corner of Shenzhen Business Daily read:

[Sitong Lifang successfully obtained an investment of 20 million US dollars from the White Dragon Consortium, accounting for 30% of the shares. At the same time, Sitong Lifang acquired the largest dragon social networking website in North America... and officially changed its name to Qianlang.com! ]

This news brought Ding Sanshi a great sense of crisis.

The businesses of the three major websites overlapped a lot, and everyone positioned themselves as comprehensive portals. Now Qianlang.com has obtained the largest amount of financing in the Internet, up to 20 million US dollars!

Having a large amount of funds is secondary, Wangyi can also look for overseas investment.

The key is that the investor is still the well-known White Dragon Consortium overseas, which has single-handedly managed the listing of Internet giants such as Yahoo and eBay.

This means that Qianlang.com is one step closer to an overseas listing.

The Internet wants to develop and grab users, and it spends real money. Listing on the US stock market will not only bring a star effect to the company, but also raise a large amount of money for the company's development.

Ding Sanshi received a dangerous signal from this news.
