Chapter 187 Acquisition of Shares
After the Yanjing matter was handled, Lin Zhimo immediately set off with Huo Xiwen to the south. There were two purposes: one was to investigate the situation of Tencent, and the other was to discuss the share acquisition with Li Zekai.
"Hello, Mr. Li, we're meeting again." Lin Zhimo and Huo Xiwen met Li Zekai, the little superman.
Li Zekai was extremely surprised that Lin Zhimo had found his purpose today. He never expected that Lin Zhimo would have the ability to acquire his shares in just one year, but he soon thought of the role played by Liu Yamin.
"I really regret why I didn't insist on hiring Mr. Liu Yamin." Li Zekai said with emotion, "Is it his intention to acquire Tencent shares today?"
Lin Zhimo smiled and said, "Mr. Li, don't mess with me. I can tell you responsibly that the acquisition of Tencent shares has nothing to do with Liu Yamin. With his eyes, he would not take this mere million-dollar business to heart."
Li Zekai nodded in agreement, without being embarrassed by Lin Zhimo's thoughts at all. He continued to ask, "Oh, then I said that this decision was made today entirely because of Brother Lin, what do you mean?"
Li Zekai suddenly remembered the conversation with Lin Zhimo at that party. Lin Zhimo was very optimistic about the prospects for the development of the Internet. As a result, the Nasdaq collapsed shortly after a while. As soon as all Internet companies around the world fell into a trough, even now it has only improved slightly.
Now, at this moment, Lin Zhimo immediately started to acquire shares in an Internet company. Li Zekai had no choice but to be interested in why Lin Zhimo made this decision.
Lin Zhimo nodded calmly at this. After all, sitting opposite Li Zekai now means that he intends to acquire a part of Tencent's equity. If he covers it up, he will be looked down upon: "Yes, I think Tencent has great development potential and is worth my investment."
Huo Xiwen quietly pulled Lin Zhimo's sleeve when he heard this, meaning that she would not say such things. After all, her side is the buyer now, so how can she say that the seller's goods are good?
Lin Zhimo also quietly pinched Huo Xiwen's soft and boneless jade hand and signaled the other party not to be nervous. If Li Zekai was unwilling to sell his shares because he said a few good words, then he would not be the little Superman of Xiangjiang.
As Lin Zhimo expected, Li Zekai was not at all turbulent about Lin Zhimo's words. He held the glasses frame on the bridge of the nose and asked curiously: "I'll ask you a risk, what made you fall in love with this company?"
Lin Zhimo blinked and smiled and said, "It's the same reason as when Mr. Li bought their shares. I decided to buy their shares."
Li Zekai laughed: "It's not bad. What I was interested in at that time was their development potential, but to be honest, after a year, I can't see their potential now. That's why I decided to sell it..." He looked at Lin Zhimo with deep meaning.
Huo Xiwen was a little confused by Li Zekai's words. What happened to these two people today? Why did the buyer keep saying good things? The seller instead criticized his own fault.
Lin Zhimo didn't care about the other party's scrutiny and smiled faintly: "We look at different directions. Mr. Li, you are thinking about recovering funds and earning the difference, but I treat him as a long-term investment."
Li Zekai laughed and said, "Isn't your company VC? Will VC still hold stocks for a long time?"
Lin Zhimo shook his head: "We are not vc. To be more precise, I want to be a cvc, a company angel investor."
"cvc?" Li Zekai heard of this term for the first time, "Company Angel Investment? This term is very interesting."
The so-called angel investors play more the role of funders and leaders in the process of corporate development. They either provide strong funds, provide a platform for corporate development, or bring in urgent contacts that small companies need. However, no matter which type they are, they eventually withdraw their investments quickly after the investment company is about to go public or go public, and then they will make a fortune. Of course, if that company has extremely huge development potential, it is another matter.
The cvc mentioned by Lin Zhimo now is different from the previous investors. Their investment is investment, and they need to see returns. Lin Zhimo treats investment as a entrepreneurship, and every investment is planned to hold shares for a long time.
After that, the two parties had some negotiations on the specific details of the equity acquisition. After the intention to acquire was reached, Li Zekai smiled and said, "In this way, let's go to Pengcheng together tomorrow to let both of you get to know each other."
"Okay, then I'll wait for news from President Li." Lin Zhimo agreed naturally.
When he returned to the hotel, Huo Xiwen asked with some concern: "Zhimo, do you think of Tencent seeing you as an artist?"
Lin Zhimo held Huo Xiwen's hand and comforted: "It's okay, Sister Wen, they are businessmen after all, and they value who can provide them with the funds needed for development, not what profession the person providing the funds is, don't worry."
Huo Xiwen was still a little worried. After all, his status as a domestic artist is not very high. Perhaps the stars he likes in the minds of young people are the best in the world, but the founders of these companies think that celebrities are really inferior to those of the top professions.
"Okay, Sister Wen, there are already many actors abroad who are angel investors. It's nothing if I'm going to do this first in China, and I have a plan that can impress them... Let's not talk about this, Sister Wen, we have not been together for a long time, right?" When Lin Zhimo said the last sentence, his hands had already started wandering around Huo Xiwen's plump body.
"Well, Zhimo, be gentle..."
Since Lin Zhimo went to Yunnan to film, the two have not had a bed in the same bed for nearly two months. After returning to Yanjing, Lin Zhimo also had no energy to caress Huo Xiwen because he had to attend one dinner after another. Therefore, when Lin Zhimo teased Huo Xiwen's body fell down.
Huo Xiwen was the time when he was most greedy for this matter, and Lin Zhimo was angry, so after a few strokes, they took off smoothly without even taking a shower, and then they couldn't wait to start the most primitive activities in the corridor of the room.
The next day, under the arrangement of Li Zekai, Lin Zhimo and his two met with Tencent's Mahua Teng and several other founders.
"Mr. Lin, although it is a bit inappropriate for me to ask, I still want to ask, what good impact can you bring to us after entering our company?" Mahuateng looked a bit elegant, but the questions were very direct.
Lin Zhimo also expected the other party to ask this question, so he said: "I think my arrival can bring these benefits to the company: first, it goes without saying that it is naturally the funds urgently needed for the company's development; secondly, I am a star and there is no negative news. If I occasionally reveal in some interviews and activities that I often use QQ to chat, then I think it will be a very good advertisement; thirdly, it is an advertisement. In the TV series or movies I filmed later, I can put the QQ logo in a conspicuous position; finally..."
Lin Zhimo smiled slightly: "I have a plan in my hand, and I think it should be of some help to the company now."
Huo Xiwen took out a document at the right time and handed it to the people in front of him.
Ma Huateng and others looked at each other, then took the document in confusion, wondering what medicine was sold in Lin Zhimo's gourd.
When Mahuateng opened the file, he saw four bold words written in "wireless value-added". He couldn't help but frown when he saw this. They actually knew about this business, but because this business had just been launched, there was not much development potential at present. But as they looked down, they became more shocked, because according to Lin Zhimo's analysis, this wireless value-added will definitely become a huge profit growth point for the company in the future.
Of course, what made Mahuateng and others most excited was that Lin Zhimo decided to package his songs as ringtones and put them on Tencent’s wireless business. That is to say, if users want to set their ringtones to those popular songs of Lin Zhimo, they must only order Tencent’s wireless capital increase business, which is equivalent to a monopoly.
If other stars made such a promise, they might not be very moved, but those songs by Lin Zhimo are really too popular. So far, the songs in the three records can almost be said to be the first one, and each of them is regarded as a pop golden card by fans.
According to the two yuan per song for ringtone service fee, Lin Zhimo has released nearly 30 songs so far, and the average download volume of each song is probably not less than 100,000. This will bring millions of revenue to the company, and this is the most conservative estimate. I believe that some of Lin Zhimo's songs can definitely exceed the million-level download volume, which will bring higher profits to the company.
Thinking of this, the eyes of the others looking at Lin Zhimo again were different. Now they have completely treated Lin Zhimo as their partner. After all, this is a big financial supporter.
Since everyone agrees, this matter is done.
Two days later, Lin Zhimo spent $12 million to purchase 20% of Tencent's shares from Li Zekai, and officially became one of the major shareholders of Tencent.
Li Zekai was also very happy about this. You should know that when he bought these shares last year, he only spent one million US dollars, and earned 10 million in less than a year. The return rate is already very good. Of course, whenever he thinks of Lin Zhimo's increase of Liu Yamin to hundreds of millions of US dollars by just two million US dollars, Li Zekai feels that he really has nothing to show off.
