117 Lu Fei: Ding Sanshi, do you want to raise pigs?
September 6th, there are 2 days left for the leave note.
While waiting for Ding Sanshi to come to Pengcheng, Lu Fei took a break from his busy schedule and got up early to have morning tea in Chunman Garden.
At this time, many elderly grandparents came to the teahouse early to occupy a seat. Their posture was like that of the Diaoyutiao Air Force Brigade, as if it was a ritual of life.
Order seafood noodles, a cage of soy sauce-flavored golden tripe, a cage of dry steamed siomai, and a cage of beef balls, paired with dahongpao, which will warm your stomach and relieve greasiness.
Enjoy half an hour, and then take a leisurely trip to SEG Technology Park.
Zhang Xiaolong rarely made it to the appointment on time. He stayed in the conference room with Lu Huateng and others, talking and laughing, with more or less joy on their faces.
As soon as QQ mailbox was launched, its user base soared from the original 4 million to 8 million registered users in one month, ranking second only to the established Microsoft, NetEase, Sohu, and New Wolf, ranking fifth in China's email mailboxes.
Not only the traffic brought by QQ, but also the publicity bonus of West Lake Sword Theory.
"QQ mailboxes should not only be permanently free, but also have free capacity and large file transfer capacity, which is twice as high as that of competitors, so as to consolidate its share in office scenarios." Lu Fei said with a big wave of his hand.
"Mr. Lu, if other mailboxes follow suit, this differential advantage will soon disappear."
Zhang Xiaolong reminds me that after all, the threshold for burning money to earn traffic is not high. It’s just that several NetArt companies are losing money and cannot afford to incur losses.
Zeng Liqingdao: "There is also traffic monetization. It is difficult to break even by relying solely on advertising, but too many ads will affect the user experience."
"So we need a new profit point."
Lu Fei smiled and offered the "drift bottle". This was his trump card, the ultimate move that put QQ Mailbox on the Iron Throne.
QQ is a social network with 80% to 90% acquaintances and 10% to 20% strangers. This makes up for the shortcomings of socializing with strangers, just like WeChat Shake, Momo, soul app, etc.
Zhang Xiaolong's eyes are bright. This thing eats up the user's thoughts. Once upon a time, it was inevitable to feel empty, lonely and cold, so he needed a tree hole to vent his suppressed loneliness.
Lu Feidao: "Profits can be made from value-added services, envelopes, greeting cards, gifts, flowers, drinks, and small gifts between pen pals. Isn't it reasonable?"
"It's reasonable." Everyone opened their mouths, and their three views were baptized again. Everything can be charged with money. It's so high, Mr. Lu is so good!
Lu Huateng adjusted his glasses and smelled the slightest smell of gunpowder smoke. If QQ mailbox does this, can Sohu mailbox, which is also free, live comfortably?
………
After finalizing the plan for the QQ mailbox, Zhang Xiaolong left with satisfaction. Lu Fei then walked around, visiting the Q Show Red Diamond project team, looking through employee resumes, and mysteriously looking for talents.
It was approaching meal time, and Ding Sanshi arrived early and late, and when he arrived at noon, he saw that his eyeballs were bloodshot, his face was swollen, and he looked like he had given up on himself.
Yo, looks familiar!
Lu Huateng raised his eyebrows, his expression was exactly the same as before Penguin was acquired. This moment was exactly like that moment.
Lu Fei tried not to laugh, controlled his facial expression, and like a big brother, he greeted his younger brother who was a little shy.
"Mr. Lu is really willing to buy NetArt?"
Ding Sanshi was very kind this time, and revealed the consequences of not being able to resume trading. After all, if the trading could not be resumed, it would be delisted, which was a waste of investment.
Lu Fei patted him on the shoulder and said, "I have consulted many people and NetEase will resume trading sooner or later, either at the end of this year or at the beginning of next year."
"Mr. Lu, how much are you prepared to pay?" Ding Sanshi couldn't help but get excited when he saw a glimmer of hope.
"$22 million——"
Lu Fei drawled a long tone, and when he saw him stretching his neck and his eyes gleaming, he suddenly changed the topic: "Mr. Ding's previous offer must be useless. You also know that the situation inside and outside NetArt is worrying. Acquiring NetArt is
Extreme risk."
Ding Sanshi's emotions aroused suddenly became heavy, and he looked at it eagerly, as if to say, whatever Master Lu gives me, that is a gift to me!
"Let's round up the figure, $18 million."
Lu Fei asked Guo Yihong to introduce a professional team, and he carefully calculated and repeatedly estimated that NetEase was actually seriously undervalued, with a net asset value of about US$2 per share, which is almost three times the current stock price.
If the transfer price is based on net assets, it would cost at least US$45 million to acquire the shares of two companies.
However, NetEase's suspension was like the first domino to fall. The stock prices of Chinese concept stocks such as New Wolf and Sohu subsequently fell below $1, and they also received a "1 yuan delisting" warning. The Nasdaq market is now
Seriously bearish on mid-term concept stocks.
Therefore, the total share capital is 30 million shares, and the average price per share at the time of acquisition is about 1.2 to 1.4 US dollars. 72.5% of the shares will cost at least 21.06 million US dollars.
"What!"
Ding Sanshi couldn't sit still immediately, his round eyes widened, why was he so small?
"Why, Mr. Ding thinks I gave you too much?" Lu Fei continued teasing.
Ding Sanshi suppressed his depression and smiled, "Ahem, Mr. Lu, 18 million is a bit short. How about 20 million? Of course, we can continue talking."
Lu Fei probed: "Mr. Ding, have you thought about it? Do you really want to buy NetArt?"
Ding Sanshi hesitated for a moment, then patted the armrest of the chair and said: "Sell, as long as the price is right, and as long as the trading can be resumed, we will sign the contract immediately. You believe me, I believe you!"
"What are you going to do after you sell your online business?" Lu Fei asked abruptly.
"I plan to open a new company." Ding Sanshi was stunned and blurted out.
"What does the new company plan to do?"
"I haven't decided yet. As long as I make money, I can do anything. Anyway, I want to get a start-up capital first."
"Mr. Ding, have you ever thought about raising pigs?" Lu Fei raised his eyebrows.
At the beginning of the new millennium, Lu Buxuan, a legendary student of Peking University, was not a doctor but a butcher. When he was exposed by the media, he instantly became a typical example of the "uselessness of reading" theory. He was known as "the shame of Peking University" and "a talented pig farmer".
In the end, Carp turned around and became a billionaire.
Why don't we pair them up and open a pig factory together, and the brand name is Dingheizhu?
"Raising pigs?"
Ding Sanshi stood up in panic, gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Lu, the joke is over. Although there is no high or low profession, I am not going to raise pigs. You can laugh at my failure, but you can't insult my dignity. Let's go!"
"You know, I thought you had lost your blood!"
Lu Fei's sudden roar shocked Ding Sanshi and froze him in place.
"Do you think NetArt has failed and is hopeless?"
"it's over."
Ding Sanshi realized that this was deliberately irritating him, and was deeply moved by Lu Fei's expression of pity for his misfortune and anger, and his nose felt sore, "It's over, it's a complete failure."
"Everything must be reversed when it reaches its extreme. It has failed to this extent, how can it fail further."
Lu Fei encouraged: "Why don't you think of a way to do it well?"
Ding Sanshi drooped his head and sighed repeatedly, "How to do it well? What should I do? I don't know what I should do."
"First of all, you have to stand up for yourself!"
When Lu Fei saw how cowardly and incompetent he was, he suddenly became furious and beat his chest hard.
"I can't stand up anymore."
Ding Sanshi felt a pain in his chest and cried because of the pain, but the pain did not make him get rid of his depression.
"Mr. Lu, although we have only known each other for a few days, I feel that we are already good friends. Thank you, but I have to say, are you unwilling to buy NetArt?"
"I really don't plan to buy it."
Lu Huateng watched the first half of the game and finally came out to harvest.
"We plan to invest and are willing to pay US$5.2 million to acquire 15% of Mr. Ding's shares and establish a strategic partnership with NetEase."
What the hell, I’m here to sell the company?
Ding Sanshi was confused, but he had to say that he was very moved. Tears rolled in his eyes and he choked, "Mr. Lu, are you really willing to help me?"
"General Manager Lu and I will fully support you." Lu Fei said earnestly.
In fact, it is not that he and Lu Huateng have not thought about it, but more than 20 million US dollars is too much, which is equivalent to taking out all the assets of Penguin and Feigou. Penguin and Feigou are making great progress, but they also need to burn a lot of money.
money.
If you can't take advantage of NetArt and lack the manpower to take over, you might as well settle for the next best thing and let yourself and Penguin become the second or third largest shareholder.
Just invest and make a fortune.
What's more important is to support online arts, which can help you gain fame, gain fame, establish your personality, and attract followers.
Liu Qing’s Didi is engaged in a money-burning war with Uber, and a lot of capital is rushing to support it, but behind it is Liu Chuanzhi. He has a knack for forming gangs. He helps his brothers when they are in trouble and is elected by them as the leader.
.
"The top priority now is to resolve the internal strife and deal with Li Jinghui, who is seizing power from you." Lu Huateng said.
Ding Sanshi wondered: "I can deal with him myself. If it is difficult, it will be difficult. He has the capital of Baring Asia behind him."
"Since the major shareholder and the second shareholder don't want to deal with each other, then just change it to a second shareholder."
Lu Fei raised his lips. He personally purchased the shares of Baring Asia and deposed Prince Ding Sanshi as the person in charge.
"Lu, Mr. Lu, I, I really don't know what to say..."
Ding Sanshi was moved to tears and shed tears in despair. It is easy to add flowers to a cake, but it is difficult to offer help in times of trouble.
You don't even want to call me godfather...
Lu Fei patted him on the shoulder, his face full of justice, and his whole body was full of Yanjing master's tactics, and he was secretly calculating in his heart.
The younger brothers under him, Liu Yidong, Lu Huateng, and Ding Sanshi, just three of them are not enough.
