Chapter 1523 [On the other hand, if Ah Mei is going to kill you, you might as well go to the stars]
Tik-Tok company headquarters.
The news that Qunxing Group also wanted to acquire Tik-Tok also quickly spread to the company. After all, many media outside are reporting on this news, and Tik-Tok has frequently occupied the hot news pages in recent days.
At this moment, in the office of a vice president within the company, two company executives were discussing this matter privately.
"In the past, Facebook, Microsoft, and Oracle all participated in the competition for Tik-Tok, and now even the Star Group wants to get involved." The vice president sitting on the single sofa in the office shook his head, sighed and said:
"To put it nicely, Tik-Tok is super delicious food, but to put it badly, Tik-Tok is the meat on the chopping board in the eyes of super giants and predators, and everyone wants to eat it in one bite."
The senior director sitting opposite him said: "With our own strength, there is a high probability that our company will not be able to pass this hurdle. We do not have the foundation of Qunxing. To be honest, Lao Zhang does not have the power and courage of Fang Hong.
Anyway, I can’t imagine how Tik-Tok can cope with this crisis on its own. The Grasshoppers are determined to defeat us.”
The vice president shook his head again and laughed, and said helplessly: "My opinion is the same as yours."
Obviously, from the conversation between these two executives, it has been shown that Tik-Tok’s internal team is pessimistic. Although they have not expressed such sentiments to the outside world, the internal discussions are self-evident.
Amalika’s recent attacks on Tik-Tok can be described as overwhelming. One after another, it can’t be said that it is not ruthless, and the Tik-Tok team is in a mess. We haven’t figured out a strategy to deal with this problem yet. New
The troubles came again, and they were overwhelmed. The whole team was exhausted trying to deal with them, and they felt increasingly powerless.
At this time, the senior director said: "Among these super predators, who do you think Tik-Tok would choose better?"
After hearing this, the vice president thought about it and said: "It's hard to say, actually it's not very good."
The senior director spread his hands and said: "The problem is that now Tik-Tok can't help itself, not at all. There are only two ways, either it closes down or it chooses to defect to a predator. There is no third option."
This is indeed the dilemma Tik-Tok is currently facing.
After a while, the vice president said in a deep voice: "If it were my choice, I would rather choose to merge with Toutiao. You and I also came from Toutiao before. You and I are very clear about the complementarity of the two companies if they merge.
It’s very strong.”
The senior director immediately said: "I agree with what you said, but the problem is that merging with Toutiao, Tik-Tok will also bring new troubles. Toutiao is one of the star-level subsidiaries of Qunxing, and Qunxing is with
You and I also know about Lao Mei’s grievances and grievances.”
Obviously, if Tik-Tok chooses to fall into the arms of Qunxin Group, it will be completely at odds with Amalika from now on. Amalika will definitely be more determined to kill Tik-Tok than it is now.
There will be no more hesitation.
It is for this reason that some people in the capital market are not optimistic. They believe that given this level of factors, the possibility of Qunxing Group acquiring Tik-Tok is the lowest, and Amalika will never agree.
Will definitely take action.
No one will doubt the financial strength of Qunxing Group. Even if it acquires Tik-Tok wholly and in cash, it will be more than enough for Qunxing Group.
But the resistance is obviously not a financial issue, but a political issue, and the Tik-Tok matter is obviously not as simple as a general commercial merger.
At this moment, the vice president present said harshly: "If you want me to say, if you have to sell yourself, then sell it to Qunxing Group."
Then he looked at the senior director and said: "The situation now is obvious. The people have begun to destroy Tik-Tok. From the recent series of combinations of the people against Tik-Tok,
Judging from the punches, I feel that no matter whether we defect to the Star Group or not, Tik-Tok will be killed if the Magus Man cannot defeat it."
The senior director sitting opposite him nodded silently.
The vice president continued: "We have had several internal meetings and discussions, and although we have not faced the core of the problem directly, we both know in our hearts that Tik-Tok alone cannot withstand such extreme pressure. In this case,
Anyway, being forced into this situation by the Grasshopper, it is better to go straight to the dark side and join the Qunxing Group. Holding Fang Hong's lap may bring about a new turning point."
The senior director who heard these words couldn't help but nodded, and analyzed to himself: "What you said is not unreasonable. Judging from the news that broke today, since the stars have taken the initiative to express their interest in Tik-Tok, if
If they are really merged into the group of galaxies, Fang Hong will definitely protect Tik-Tok and Magnesium Grasshopper."
Although defecting to Qunxing Group will completely anger Amlica, Qunxing Group is a super tough nut that even Amlica can't crack. From the time when Xingyu Technology's S680 chip became the swan song in 2014 until today, Amlica has been
The galaxy hunted for five full years.
But what was the result? Instead of succeeding in hunting, the Star Group has grown bigger and bigger over the years, and now it has accumulated an unparalleled terrifying foundation. After five years of hunting, the Star Group's enterprises have grown in various fields, especially in the field of technology.
Achieve a breakthrough.
At the end, the vice president said slowly: "Having said that, objectively from the perspective of company development, perhaps it is the most appropriate choice for Tik-Tok to merge into Qunxingxing, but I think Lao Zhang is the one who least wants to
Seeing that Tik-Tok has been acquired by Qunxing, assuming that Tik-Tok really merges with Toutiao, he will definitely take out the money like last time. Even if Fang Hong wants to retain him and continue to be in charge of the merged Toutiao company, he
I won’t agree to it either.”
After hearing this, the senior director sighed, shrugged and said: "You and I can't decide who Tik-Tok chooses. Even Lao Zhang, as the leader, can't make the final decision. He can.
There is only the largest shareholder, and although it has never interfered with the company's operations, don't forget that the largest shareholder has the only one-vote veto power in Tik-Tok."
It's one thing not to interfere with Tik-Tok's operations, but it's another thing to have the ability to interfere. It's obvious that the largest shareholder has the ability to interfere.
No matter which super giant it is sold to, whether it is Qunxing, Microsoft or Facebook, it must first deal with the largest shareholder who has the veto power of Tik-Tok. If the largest shareholder does not nod, no matter who it is sold to,
It can't be pushed forward.
Obviously, these two executives did not know that Tik-Tok’s largest shareholder was taking orders from Fang Hong.
However, in the capital market at this moment, at around 13:07 in the afternoon, Toutiao’s time-sharing price of 59.47 yuan continued to hit a record high, with an intraday increase of 10.00%, and finally hit the price limit.
The transaction volume at the time of the closure had soared to a huge 23.7 billion, and the market value had also soared to 743.463 billion yuan.
There is actually a lot of suspense whether Qunxing can successfully acquire Tik-Tok, but after the news broke, Toutiao's stock price rose to the limit. This is the choice of the capital market.
In fact, in the eyes of many investors, the worst-case scenario is acceptable, and it is nothing more than failing to win Tik-Tok. Even so, Toutiao's own valuation is still an emerging Internet giant with a market capitalization potential of trillions.
This year's revenue is expected to exceed the 100 billion mark, and the net profit is also expected to exceed 17 billion. The corresponding price-earnings ratio is 43 times. In addition, the listed companies of Qunxing are already priced at a premium, and a price-earnings ratio of 50 times is not that big.
bubble, not to mention that the profitability of Toutiao’s most important product, Douyin short video platform, has not yet been fully stimulated.
