Especially in the Internet industry, if you want to gain popularity, the most effective and only way is to be free, and you have to give them the most convenient and considerate services, so that they will be willing to become your users.
Only after accumulating a large number of users can you make profits in this group. This profit is not about cutting leeks or charging others. Once that happens, the reputation will completely collapse, and then the users will turn against each other. After all, your competitors are always staring at you.
Of course, when you become the absolute overlord of a certain industry, you can do this, at most you will be scolded, and you will not be able to get any hair on your face. At that time, users were already inseparable from it.
Just like your mobile phone number, young people who are not well-educated can change it at will, but how dare middle-aged people? Many contacts do not mention it, but all kinds of registered items are all this number. If you change it, changing these things will exhaust you. This is the monopoly of the industry.
In fact, at this time, Brother Ma could have cut some leeks appropriately, but he refused because he promised from the beginning that this social software was free and would be free. He was a trustworthy person, so he had to do it.
So after hearing Ye Feng’s question, he was confused, one billion US dollars! According to the exchange rate at this time, it was more than eight billion RMB, and it could be burned for a long time. How could Brother Ma not be moved?
However, after hesitating for a while, he quickly calmed down. Although money is a good thing, if he loses his original intention for money, what should he do? So he answered firmly:
"I can give you another %20 shares, but I must not give you decision-making and management rights, otherwise there will be no way to discuss this matter."
Ye Feng smiled and then gave a thumbs up: "Brother Xiao Ma is Brother Xiao Ma, the deal is completed! But I have one only condition, that is, the veto. Because we are the largest shareholders of the company, I have to be responsible to my shareholders. I can't spend so much money and don't even have the right to speak. Of course, we will definitely not exercise this right easily."
"Okay, that's it!" Brother Ma slapped his thighs excitedly. Is it necessary for people to be reasonable?
The board of directors was announced and the matter was decided today. Brother Xiao Ma had already been waiting for the rice to be put into the pot.
The shareholder structure of Tencent is relatively simple. Brother Xiao Ma basically said that the reason for holding the board of directors is because everyone needs to get to know the new shareholders.
Because Ye Feng and the others invested in the company's reputation, Ye Feng could actually participate by himself. However, he did not have time to stay in China for a long time, so he could only let Yang Wei and the others stay here.
Brother Xiao Ma announced the results of the negotiations with Ye Feng just now. Everyone had no objection to the vote. Although they had divided the shares of %20 and the shares under their personal name decreased, the share value increased and the money was too much!
Internet entrepreneurs are relatively young, and young means they have a strong ability to accept. Therefore, no one is worried about the shares. As we go along, I don’t know how many rounds of financing we have to go through. Naturally, there will be fewer and fewer shares. However, when the company develops into a behemoth, even if we only invest in %1 shares, the amount will be in billions.
I introduced the people of both sides. When everyone knew that these young people actually spent money to acquire all the two foreign companies, they were naturally happy and accepted them very happily. Especially when Xiao Ma Ge announced that Ye Feng said he would take out another eleven US dollars to purchase %20 shares, everyone applauded together.
In recent years, they have been selling shares, and their shares have been 100% to now 44. Although the shares have been decreasing, the company's market value has been rising as a result of the Rockets.
You know, they only invested hundreds of thousands of yuan to build this company. As the number of users increased, the company's scale and market value continued to rise. Until Ye Feng's bid today, the company's market value reached a terrible height. Everyone's heart was trembling, that was joy!
At this time, Ye Feng stood up, reached out to stop everyone's applause, and then said softly:
"Although I was born and raised in the United States, I know that I am a genuine Chinese and a child of the military rectified. I know the exploitation and suppression of us by the West. I have always hoped to do something worth boasting for the motherland like my father. So, in addition to this one billion, I decided to give out another four billion. These four billion will not hold shares, but there is a condition."
When Xiao Ma Ge heard the word "condition", he felt nervous again. Although he had a good impression of this young man now, he had no basic understanding of his abilities, so he still resisted his participation in company management.
But he hadn't said what the conditions were? He could only wait and then make a statement after Ye Feng finished speaking.
"My condition is that if the company needs to continue financing at this time next year, then my 4 billion will have to convert it into %20 shares. If not, just return the money to me."
"Okay!" Brother Ma was the first to slam the table and stood up. He didn't expect that for a long time, he gave him a bonus question. How could he ask for shares? This is a disguised loan to the company! Four billion US dollars are enough for him to burn for a long time.
Everyone started to applaud again, for these young people and for the company, with this money, the company could make another leap.
You should know that QQ users are calculated based on the number of people, and they don’t have to go abroad. Just by the domestic population base, they can far surpass companies like Europe and the United States.
And everyone understands that although they have been burning money, this thing will sooner or later become profitable. Every software company understands this truth very well, otherwise who would be stupid?
After discussing the future development plan, the first shareholders' meeting that Ye Feng and his friends attended finally ended successfully. The meeting elected Ye Feng as the company's chairman, but Ye Feng politely declined. Instead, Yang Wei was called on the chairman. Xiao Ma Ge is still the president and executive director, and directly led the company's business.
At the meeting, Ye Feng did not put forward any opinions or suggestions. Now the company is developing well and he doesn't need to point fingers.
Brother Ma was obviously very satisfied with this, and kept sending them out of the gate and repeatedly told them to come back to see them often if they were fine.
In fact, Ye Feng understood that it would be this time next year when he came back. Because at that time he could determine whether he should increase his shares or get back his investment. In fact, he did not measure the gains and losses of these two points, because it was not important, and the company was the most important to develop.
Chapter completed!
