Chapter six hundred and eighty fourth businessman is also deceitful
"Why doesn't it matter?"
Zhang Yida said with a smile, "Ruixiang has invested in NetEase Cloud Music. Aren't we just a family?"
Ding Sanshi laughed, his chubby face squeezed into a pile. It was exactly as he expected. Ruixiang had the idea of investing in NetEase Cloud Music.
In Ruixiang's large entertainment layout, the two most lacking areas are online literature and music.
These two major areas are precisely the areas where the Penguin family dominates. All other opponents combined are not enough for the Penguin family.
Thinking of this, Ding Sanshi's mind started racing rapidly.
Ruixiang wants to acquire NetEase Kaola and take a stake in Cloud Music as a bonus to increase the weight of success.
“How many shares of Cloud Music does Ruixiang want?”
Zhang Yida quickly replied, "Five points are enough, mainly for the purpose of forming an alliance, rather than for any other intention."
Ding Sanshi nodded. If it was just five points, it wouldn't be unacceptable.
Since its establishment, NetEase Cloud Music has completed two rounds of financing, and there is also a lonely giant Qiandu among its investors.
After two rounds of dilution of shares, NetEase, as the parent company and executives of Cloud Music, still hold 75.6% of the shares.
Even if it completes two or three more rounds of financing, NetEase will still remain the majority shareholder.
If Ruixiang is introduced as a strategic investor, we can also use the other party's resources to alleviate the embarrassing situation between one and two.
As for Zhang Yida's talk about investing in the three major records, he doesn't think it's just talk.
Through Ruixiang’s prospectus, we can see how important short video and major entertainment businesses are to Ruixiang.
If the sharp direction wants to rise, the penguin must be suppressed.
Then, if both companies invest in the three major records and jointly divide the mainland music copyrights, NetEase can also follow Ruixiang and gain benefits.
Penguin really wants to strangle NetEase Cloud Music and often gets stuck on NetEase's copyright issues.
As Ruixiang has not yet officially launched music streaming media in China, there should be a honeymoon period with NetEase Cloud Music.
As for Rui Xiang turning into Penguin Music in the future, I don’t know how long it will take.
Who can tell what will happen in the future? Take care of the present first.
"Does Ruixiang have any ideas about launching music applications in the country?"
After asking this question, looking at Zhang Yida looking at him with a smile, Ding Sanshi knew that this was a bit redundant.
If we spend billions of dollars to invest in record companies, the mainland copyright problem facing Ruixiang will be solved.
How could Zhang Yida be willing to only promote the music streaming media Resso abroad? He will definitely enter the country.
"Don't worry, the biggest enemy of our two families now is the penguin.
In the face of a common enemy, enemies can also become friends. What's more, we are friends to begin with, right?"
In order to dispel Ding Sanshi's concerns, Zhang Yida explained again with a smile.
Ding Sanshi laughed and said, "Yes, we are friends."
Zhang Yida smiled and looked at Ding Sanshi, who was laughing innocently, and continued, "Brother Sanshi, since we are friends, shouldn't the price of your NetEase Kaola transaction be more friendly?"
Ding Sanshi cursed in his heart, it turned out that there was still a trap waiting for him.
"Hey, Yida, you know that NetEase is also a listed company, not a sole proprietorship of mine.
There is a board of directors and an audit committee, and I would like to make a friendly offer, but reality does not allow it, so we can only discuss business."
As a shrewd Zhejiang businessman, Ding Sanshi started Tai Chi with Zhang Yida again.
Zhang Yida had known that Ding Sanshi would not agree so easily, so he was not too surprised.
A former disciple of Lao Duan was in charge of Pinduoduo and had a friendship with Ding Sanshi for nearly twenty years.
Lao Duan was also a shareholder of NetEase and invested heavily when NetEase was facing delisting.
Even with these friendships, NetEase Kaola was eventually sold to Ahri.
As a businessman, profit comes first!
After chatting with Ding Sanshi for a while and testing a few words, the other party still refused to let go, so Zhang Yida was ready to say goodbye and leave.
Although he really wanted to take Kaola under his command, Zhang Yida still didn't want to be manipulated by the other party.
Everything that should be opened and the conditions that can be opened have been met, it just depends on Lao Ding’s choice.
…
"Ruixiang must not be allowed to acquire Kaola. Whether it is to defend the cross-border e-commerce market share or to curb the growth of Ruixiang's e-commerce business, we should acquire Kaola."
Ali, who lives in the same city as Koala, soon received the news that Koala was about to be sold to Pinduoduo. Jack Ma held a small meeting with several of his generals.
At this time, Xiaoyaozi Zhang Yong was instructing Jack Ma on the importance of koalas in an attempt to disrupt Huang Ruixiang's acquisition.
As Ahri's successor, he also felt deeply pressured by Ruixiang who had grown fangs.
As long as it can cause trouble for Rui Xiang, he is not willing to miss it.
"I think Xiaoyaozi is right, we should launch defensive acquisitions of Kaola."
Pang Lei also agreed very much with Zhang Yong's proposal and said with a serious expression.
Jack Ma is not particularly nervous. He is just a koala and cannot make a big difference.
"I heard that someone from NetEase took the initiative to reveal this information?"
Jack Ma glanced at everyone and asked.
"It should be!"
Zhang Yong said with a smile, "Zhang Yida just met Ding Sanshi, and then this information came out. NetEase didn't take the initiative to reveal it, so I don't believe it."
Pang Lei guessed, "Is it possible that Ding Sanshi is not satisfied with Ruixiang's quotation?"
"When selling something, you must do some comparison shopping."
Jack Ma smiled and said, "I know Ding Sanshi, he is extremely shrewd.
Taking the initiative to spread this news is to attract us to quote.
Regardless of whether we, Goudong, or Suning succeed in the end, he can use our quotation to negotiate with Zhang Yida and get a more ideal price."
"Then we weren't taken advantage of by Ding Sanshi?"
Jack Maxun glanced at Pang Lei and said, "Let him take advantage of it. The deal hasn't been concluded yet, so it's not certain who it will be sold to."
Zhang Yong adjusted his black-rimmed glasses and said, "Of course, I will sell it to whoever offers the highest price."
“So where is our bottom price?”
Zhang Yong asked Jack Ma that the latter has not officially retired yet, so Jack Ma still has to make decisions on these major matters.
"Go and talk first, then tell me when you're done."
Jack Ma's lips curled up, "Zhang Yida wants to snatch the koalas right under our noses in Lin'an, so he has to ask us if we are willing.
Even if the acquisition is unsuccessful in the end, the acquisition price must be raised by one or two for Ruixiang."
Pang Lei said with a smile, "That's what we have to do. That guy has made us stumble a few times, the most typical one being Laizanda."
Speaking of Zanda, several people became a little silent.
"Then what's going on with Laizanda? Billions of dollars have been poured into it, but it just can't settle the e-commerce war in Southeast Asia."
Facing Jackma's accusation, Pang Lei sighed, "In addition to Shopee, which is owned by Sea, Grab has integrated several major e-commerce platforms to take advantage of traffic and users, which has caused considerable resistance to us increasing our market share.
Currently, Indonesia is the largest e-commerce market due to its large population. Our and Shoppe’s combined market share cannot match that of “Buy Together”.
However, we are number one in Singapore, the Philippines and Thailand. Shoppe’s advantageous markets are Malaysia and Vietnam.”
Jack Ma said earnestly, "Whoever takes over Indonesia will take over Southeast Asia. This country occupies 40% of Southeast Asia's e-commerce and even the Internet economy.
Think of a way, whether you spend money on promotion or initiate mergers and acquisitions, we must open up the situation in Indonesia."
After chatting about the Southeast Asian market, Jack Ma gave Zhang Yong a few more instructions, all about acquiring koalas and spying on military intelligence.
The conversation ended quickly and he was going to practice Tai Chi. As he got older, he had to keep up with his health.
