On October 21, 2001, Saying came to Shanghai as scheduled.
Today, the 9th APEC Leaders' Informal Meeting was held at the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum in China. This meeting left a deep impression on ordinary Chinese people, not for the leaders from various countries, but for the Tang suits they wore.
Like others, this is the hottest and most fashionable outfit in China and even the world in October. Sa Ying also chose a red Tang suit and stood together with Heinwei in a blue Tang suit. The two beauties, each
It's charming.
Peng Bo put aside his work and accompanied Sa Ying to visit Shanghai. He clearly remembered that at the APEC meeting in his previous life, the last gift was a teapot with traditional craftsmanship and Western colors called "Famille Consecration Shanghai Landscape Magnolia Teapot"
”.
There are four consecrated landscape scenes on the body of the pot, namely "Ten Miles Foreign Market", "Old Scenery of the Bund", "Spring Scenery of Yu Garden", and "New Look of East Shanghai", which can be said to condense the development history of Shanghai and Shanghai cities for more than a hundred years.
In the past few days, Sa Ying had experienced all four landscapes one by one. The city and its people left a deep impression on her. After the meeting, she stayed.
"Have you ever been to Hangzhou?" Peng Bo walked with her in Yu Garden. "In the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, there are all kinds of customs. When I recall the south of the Yangtze River, I remember Hangzhou the most. Looking for cinnamon seeds in the mountain temple in the middle of the month, and looking at the tide on the pillow in the county pavilion. When will I visit again?
!”
"Then I must go and have a look." Sa Ying, who had the most touching smile among all the women Peng Bo knew, "will you go with me?"
certainly!
Peng Bo also agreed to do a third thing for Ma Feng, which was to lead an honored guest to participate in the West Lake Sword Discussion hosted by him.
"That sword has passed, and no one who has seen it can forget the charm of that sword...In October, the eagle flies, and the sword is discussed in the West Lake..."
This is a promotional video for this year's West Lake Sword Forum, also produced by Pengbo Media, but these two sentences were written by Ma Feng, full of a strong air of pretending to be thirteen!
It is late autumn in Hangzhou at this time.
Although the West Lake Sword Discussion was held in autumn, the participants seemed to have already entered the cold winter, with strong cold winds and mixed feelings.
This year, Wang Juntao of 8848 resigned sadly. A few months before the listing of Nasdaq, Wang Zhidong of Sina was also kicked out and reluctantly left Sina, which he founded. This year, many people still dreamed of leaving this company.
A place where people shudder!
Many people are dreaming that someone will buy my company!
This group of dreamers also includes Xiao Ma, who is looking for a buyer. Although the company later reached a market value of US$10 billion, Xiao Ma only offered US$1 million this year, but no one took it.
Pengbo Media is also an investor in this company. Peng Bo did not want to take over, but he asked Bao Bufan to inform Brother Ma to come to the edge of the West Lake.
…
In a five-star hotel by the West Lake, all the Internet tycoons have gathered. Zhang Chaoyang, Ding Sanshi, and Mao Daolin, the three major domestic portals, have gathered. However, amidst the laughter and laughter, the big wigs who came to participate were worried.
Zhang Chaoyang still looks smart in his casual suit and white shirt, while Ding Sanshi wears a very pink and pink shirt, just like a little fresh meat.
"Have you noticed that there is a strange phenomenon?" Ma Feng was not the boss among this group of people. Zhang Chaoyang was the most famous at this time. Later, when Alibaba rose, the sword discussion in West Lake stopped, because Ma Feng
There is no need to use other people's reputation to promote yourself.
"What's the phenomenon?" The hair on Wang Juntao's head was obviously thinning. The old Rong who wrote "Dalian Jinzhou Does Not Believe in Tears" was in a very calm mood at this time.
"I wonder if you have noticed that although Mr. Peng's Pengbo.com ranks fourth, Mr. Peng is the strongest." Ma Feng said with a smile.
Everyone's energy seemed to have dissipated. Many people knew that they just had a website, but Pengbo Media's website, TV, and print media went hand in hand.
"Who doesn't know this?" Zhang Chaoyang looked at Ma Feng dissatisfied.
"Oh, that's not what I'm talking about," Ma Feng quickly corrected without getting annoyed, "I'm talking about Internet companies like ours, almost all of which are related to Pengbo Media."
Oh, this is a new topic. Many people are starting to think about it. Only Wang Juntao is more detached now.
"Look, let's talk about our investment in Alibaba and Pengbo Media first, right?" Ma Feng asked with a smile, and everyone nodded, "NetEase, what I know is that Duan Yiping invested, and everyone knows the relationship between Duan Yiping and Mr. Peng.
Duan Yiping is now in the United States and has little interest in worldly affairs, but as long as Mr. Peng makes a call, he still flies back from the United States to eat Xiao Long Bao."
Ding Sanshi thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. He nodded and signaled Ma Feng to continue.
"And Sina, Mr. Mao, and now Mr. Peng is also your Sina's major shareholder, right?"
In September this year, Wangcai Xiaoqiang Capital Company, a subsidiary of Pengbo Media, under the operation of Bao Bufan, Pengbo Media sold all 2 billion shares of Pengbo TV, 6.6% of which it held, to Sina. Sina paid Pengbo
Bo Media received US$7.9 million in cash and 4.6 million Sina stocks.
Pengbo was very lucky. The bubble in the technology and Internet stocks burst, and he took advantage of it. Based on Sina's stock price on the Nasdaq market of US$1.32 per share on the trading day before the agreement was signed, Pengbo held Pengbo TV.
The sale price of the shares is close to US$14 million, which is approximately more than HK$100 million.
In just over a year, Peng Bo made profits that were twice the amount of his investment. This does not include the profits that Peng Bo will make if he achieves the indicators stipulated in the agreement in the next 18 months.
A maximum of 3.28 million shares of Sina stock can be obtained. Calculated at US$1.32 per share, this can increase Peng Bo's net worth by more than US$4.3 million, or more than HK$33 million.
From Peng Bo's perspective, the deal was a success. He became Sina's largest shareholder. Cui Yan was appointed co-chairman of the board of directors by Sina and entered Sina's highest level of power.
Mao Daolin looked a little lonely, "Mr. Peng is a master of capital, and we at Sina...but we are a family now."
"Also," Ma Feng smiled happily, "Mr. Zhang, you are the first person to enter the 100 Rich List. If Mr. Peng makes a request, will you consider it?"
Zhang Chaoyang nodded, saying nothing.
"Well, now, of the three major portals, Sina is controlled by Mr. Peng. NetEase and Sohu are also closely related to Mr. Peng. We have Alibaba, I heard that there is also Tencent in the south, Mr. Peng has invested in it, and Dangdang
Internet, these are not counted," Ma Feng shook his hand, "Pengbo.com, owned by Mr. Peng, is the fourth largest portal website, but he also has websites such as Liancong, Under the Banyan Tree..."
After his analysis, many people suddenly realized that Pengbo Media had already begun to make plans in the Internet world without making any noise.
"Then Mr. Peng..."
"He is the leader of our Internet world!" Ma Feng clapped his hands and laughed.
