In the following period, unfavorable news for Tik-Tok followed one after another.
On December 25, Dongwei posted on his social media account that he planned to use the Z command or other means to force Tik-Tok to stop all business in BeiMei.
In the past day alone, Bai G said at the press conference that Tik-Tok must be sold to Beijing Magnesium Company, otherwise it will be forced to close down.
In addition, Zhiwei also proposed that a considerable "commission" should be handed over to the Beijing Magnesium Treasury in this Tik-Tok transaction.
The Tik-Tok controversy has caused a stir on domestic and foreign Internet platforms, and the hot spots at the end of the month are almost all news related to Tik-Tok.
Immediately afterwards, various gossips spread. There were rumors that Oracle would acquire Tik-Tok, and there were also rumors that Microsoft was also considering acquiring Tik-Tok for its use.
Supplemental Business to LinkedIn.
Suddenly, Tik-Tok seemed to have become a piece of fish on the chopping board, attracting predators from all walks of life to compete for it.
The news spread back to the Mainland Internet, and the majority of netizens were furious after reading it, calling Lao Mei a robber. This was almost an obvious robbery.
But what has to be said is that the technology giants of Bei Magnesium, especially the Internet giants, all covet Tik-Tok. This platform will surely become another super platform with 1 billion users in a short time.
…
Saturday, November 30, morning.
At this moment, Fang Hong is having a secret video connection with a mysterious person. This person is suddenly Bole in Mr. Zhang’s eyes, an angel investor, Tik-Tok’s current largest shareholder, and the only one who owns a person in Tik-Tok.
Shareholders with veto rights.
"In the past few days, Mr. Zhang has been internally discussing the acquisition of Tik-Tok with several major shareholders, including us, General Atlantic Investment, Sequoia Capital and other investment institutions, and regulatory agencies such as Beijing Magnesium Finance Z Department."
The man in the video reported to Fang Hong.
The pressure on Tik-Tok during this period is extremely huge. Lao Mei’s actions in a short period of time have made the Tik-Tok team tired of dealing with it. The entire team has been panicked, and many people have even become pessimistic.
Because Lao Mei’s series of swift actions against Tik-Tok are constant, and the intensity is almost comparable to that of attacking the galaxy companies, but Tik-Tok’s ability to withstand pressure is definitely not comparable to that of the stars, and the stars can withstand it
Tik-Tok may not be able to withstand the pressure.
It can even be concluded directly that Tik-Tok can never withstand the pressure of Lao Mei by relying solely on itself.
At this time, Fang Hongyan asked briefly and comprehensively: "What do Tik-Tok's operations management team think?"
The man in the video replied in a deep voice: "I feel like he can't stand it anymore. During the discussion the day before yesterday, he meant that he hoped to retain a small amount of equity in Tik-Tok after it is acquired in the future."
In the Greater China market, because Qunxing acquired Toutiao and launched Douyin, it is now also the dominant player in the short video field on the mainland Internet. Mr. Zhang went overseas to start a business again because he couldn't survive in China.
Tik-Tok has achieved great success overseas, and it is also the most glorious moment of Mr. Zhang’s career so far. None of the products launched by his previous ventures have achieved such amazing results as Tik-Tok.
Faced with the continuous attacks of Bei Magnesium this time, Mr. Zhang felt that it would be difficult for Tik-Tok to survive, because Tik-Tok’s core business is all in overseas markets. Once it is blocked by Bei Magnesium, it will basically be over. The reason why Qunxing can withstand it is
The continuous blows suffered by Zhulaomei over the years are due to the huge market in Greater China as the backing of the basic market, at least this is what Zhang always thinks.
Fang Hong immediately said: "If he wants to sell it to the people of Magnesia, he might as well sell it to me directly. He quits again."
Once Beijing Magnesium Enterprise acquires Tik-Tok, the veto power in the hands of the current largest shareholder will definitely not be tolerated. The core issue of the game here is not how much the company is worth. Of course, this is also an important reason, but no matter how important it is, it is secondary.
reason.
The fundamental reason is that Tik-Tok is a platform with huge influence in the global public opinion field. The West cannot tolerate such a platform being controlled by people from the University of Tokyo. To put it bluntly, the control of Tik-Tok is the core of this game.
question.
If the one-vote veto power is not abolished, even if North American companies hold more than 90% of the shares of Tik-Tok, they still have no say.
However, Fang Hong suddenly felt that this matter was not entirely a bad thing. If Mr. Zhang did not give in at this time and chose to accept the acquisition of Tik-Tok by Bei Magnesium Enterprises, then the first person he would apologize to would be his angel investors.
Unless Magnesium Western Enterprises can accept that the current largest shareholder will continue to have a veto power over Tik-Tok, this is obviously impossible and irreconcilable.
After a while, Fang Hong said unhurriedly: "At this time, it is time to use the veto power. If Zhang Dare not be strong, you can be strong and ask him to step aside and cool off. If he really wants to sell
If you own Tik-Tok, just tell him directly, you might as well acquire all his equity, give him a valuation, and let him take the money to exit again."
Since we want to sell, who is not selling?
When this matter came to light, Mr. Zhang must have been naturally a little smaller in front of his angel investors. Even if they spat at him and yelled at him, he still couldn't talk back.
Because Beijing Magnesium Enterprise acquired Tik-Tok, the people who suffered the most were its angel investors. They were so supportive of you before, but you ended up treating your own boss like this? How could this be the actions of a villain?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, in Fang Hong’s eyes, these things on Tik-Tok this time were hit hard by Lao Mei. Not only did Fang Hong not
I think this is a bad thing, but it's actually a good thing.
Because of this, Mr. Zhang’s voice in Tik-Tok will be severely weakened, and the voice of the largest shareholder will be strengthened as never before, and Mr. Zhang himself will be unable to say anything.
If Lao Mei doesn't clean up Tik-Tok, it's really hard for Fang Hong to intervene through the largest shareholder. After all, the persona he established at the beginning is Bole, an angel investor, and he won't interfere too much with Tik-Tok's operations.
.
But things are different now. After such a rectification by Lao Mei, the largest shareholder, as the one who contributes the most, contributes the most money, and bears the greatest risks, will become the biggest victim. Now he intervenes strongly. Mr. Zhang said a word
Can't even tell.
And because we have a veto power in hand, we have real intervention ability, and we can definitely do what we say.
It can be seen that Lao Mei has made such a move at this time. Even though Mr. Zhang is the founder of Tik-Tok, he is not the key person in this game and is not that important.
The man in the video said: "If Mr. Zhang really quits, he will definitely not be able to stay in Tik-Tok and it is unlikely that he will leave again. It is almost inevitable that he will leave Tik-Tok. Who will be in charge of Tik-Tok once he leaves?"
?The people on my side do not have the ability to operate and manage a multinational Internet giant."
Obviously, he feels that Mr. Zhang is probably going to take the money and leave again this time. Judging from the current situation, this possibility is getting bigger and bigger, so he must consider what will happen to Tik-Tok after Mr. Zhang is out.
Who should take charge and lead this company forward?
