Rebirth of the Evil Life

Chapter 35 Funding Gap

(There are only two chapters today, sorry! Thank you for your support)

Ma Huateng's arrival made Lin Feng feel astonished, especially Ma Huateng's serious face made Lin Feng even more at a loss. Tencent X.com is now developing rapidly, with more than 100 million registered users and more than 100,000 members. Although it has not yet reached a balance of payments, its potential and prospects are already indisputable facts.

Others, including Liu Yingying, saw Ma Huateng, the giant who created the myth of China's instant messaging, appear in their company, and their faces were shocked and excited, no less than the excitement of star fans when they see a star.

"Chairman Ma, talk inside." Lin Feng knew that Ma Huateng must go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so he ordered someone to pour two cups of coffee, and sat alone in the office with Ma Huateng.

Ma Huateng sipped the coffee lightly, with a look of thought on his face, and after a long time, he sighed softly.

"Mr. Lin, first of all congratulations, your starting point fast food restaurant has become the first fast food restaurant among netizens in the public opinion survey." Ma Huateng said congratulating Lin Feng.

"Hehe, it all depends on Mr. Ma's care. Without Mr. Ma's strong promotion on the homepage of Teng X.com, my Qidian fast food restaurant would not be famous so quickly." Lin Feng said modestly.

"Mutual benefit, several news reports of yours have brought a huge amount of hits to TengX.com." Ma Huateng smiled slightly.

After finishing speaking, the two did not speak for a long time.

"Mr. Lin, given the relationship between our two companies, I won't be too polite." After a long time of deliberation, Ma Huateng explained the purpose of his trip, "Now TengX.com has some troubles with its funds and desperately needs financing. I want to sell 5% of the original shares of TengX.com to Mr. Lin at a price of 50 million yuan. I don’t know what Mr. Lin wants.”

When Lin Feng heard it, his heart skipped a beat. It is absolutely cost-effective to acquire 5% of the shares of Tencent X.com for RMB 50 million. At most 3 years, Tencent X.com will definitely be listed in Hong Kong. At that time, the 5% shares will have a market value of more than 3 billion at the peak of the stock price. This investment is absolutely worthwhile.

But Lin Feng smiled wryly at this moment. There is no other reason, no money in hand. The day before, Lin Feng looked at the liquid funds of more than 1.3 million in his account and thought he was rich, but now he realized that he was really poor. He couldn't grasp such a huge profit business delivered to his door, Lin Feng had the urge to smoke himself.

Seeing that Lin Feng's expression was wrong, Ma Huateng's expression also changed.

"Mr. Lin, don't you even have 50 million yuan in your hand?" Ma Huateng was not just talking, he had done research before coming here. Lin Feng's Qidian fast food restaurant is now in the limelight. The merchants who want to join far exceed the merchants who apply to join McDonald's or KFC. Only this joining Fei Linfeng can buy Ma Huateng's 5% of the shares.

Ma Huateng knows that the franchise fee of McDonald's is 2.5 million yuan. Given the popularity and popularity of Qidian fast food restaurants today, the franchise fee of 500,000 yuan is not an exaggeration. According to Ma Huateng's understanding, there are at least a hundred merchants that have recently applied for franchise.

Lin Feng shook his head helplessly, and briefly told Ma Huateng about his franchise contract. After listening, Ma Huateng didn't know whether to admire Lin Feng's morality, or to ridicule Lin Feng's pedantry.

A businessman seeks profit and gives up such a large piece of market pie just to gain a reputation. Ma Huateng doesn't know whether this is right or wrong. However, in Ma Huateng's mind, since McDonald's and KFC have been in business for so many years, the fried oil incident should not be a problem.

"Ah~~~" Ma Huateng, who had come here with hope, was disappointed when he learned that the financing failed.

"Why, Mr. Ma, is there such a shortage of funds recently?" Lin Feng asked with concern.

"It's not because your Dingdang website is developing too fast." Ma Huateng glared at Lin Feng who "doesn't hurt his back while standing and talking". The reason for the recent shortage of funds on Tencent X.com is that, in addition to undertaking the server unit of Dingdang.com, the most important thing is that Tencent X.com has developed too rapidly, especially after launching a series of services such as membership, QQ Farm, and Tencent Portal. The crew is very tight, and many excellent talents have been hired,

This is the real reason for the shortage of funds.

"Can't you find other financing providers?" Lin Feng didn't believe that with the current development momentum of Yiteng X.com, there would be no investors who could see its prospects.

Ma Huateng shook his head, and said bitterly, "Many investors have seen that we have a problem with funds and have lowered the price. How could I agree. This is an insult to TengX.com."

Lin Feng shook his head helplessly. This is how shopping malls are. Who told others to know about your current shortage of funds?

"There is also a consortium willing to buy at a high price, but I am not willing to sell the company's shares to him." Ma Huateng said suddenly.

"Why? Which consortium is it?" Lin Feng was taken aback.

"The domestic IMH consortium is active in the entire Southeast Asian market. It bid 12 million US dollars to acquire 10% of my shares, and 5 million US dollars to acquire 5% of my shares." Ma Huateng said.

After Lin Feng calculated, the price is quite reasonable, but if he buys 10% of the shares, according to the current shareholding structure of TengX.com, Ma Huateng and the creative team only own 45% of the shares, which is by no means a good signal for the company.

"Hmph, did the IMH consortium think I didn't see their wolfish ambitions? They bought 20% of Hong Kong Yingke Digital, and are negotiating with IDG about the acquisition plan. This time, they want to buy 10% of my shares. It's clear that they want to swallow Tencent X Wang, hmph, think I'm that stupid!" Ma Huateng said disdainfully.

Lin Feng was surprised when he heard this. Unexpectedly, a consortium had already set their minds on Teng X.com, and it was an acquisition. Obviously, this IMH consortium had a huge appetite and was extremely optimistic about the prospect of Teng X.com.

"By the way, Mr. Lin, is there any company negotiating with you to acquire 5% of Tencent X shares in your hand?" Ma Huateng asked nervously, staring at Lin Feng tightly.

Lin Feng shook his head, which made Ma Huateng feel relieved. But Ma Huateng didn't know that IMH had already made a move, but it was destroyed by Xia Qianhe's self-esteem. Xia Qianhe wanted to drive Lin Feng to a dead end, and then appeared as a savior to buy him. However, even if Xia Qianhe revealed his identity from the beginning, Lin Feng would not sell the 5% of Teng X shares in his hand. Lin Feng knew the value of the 5% shares very well.

"Mr. Lin, I have a request. If you want to sell 5% of Tencent X.com shares in your hand due to other issues before the listing of Tencent X.com, can you sell it to me first, and I will buy it at a reasonable market price." Ma Huateng took To make a contract, this is the second purpose of his visit today: to ensure that Lin Feng's 5% shares will not be acquired by others. Although Ma Huateng has no funds in his hands to acquire Lin Feng's shares, but in any case Ma Huateng cannot tolerate the TengX.com that he worked so hard to establish to be swallowed up by others.

If Lin Feng really wants to sell the shares at that time, Ma Huateng will also buy them. Of course, Ma Huateng does not believe that Lin Feng is short of funds now. Lin Feng's industry is different from Ma Huateng's Internet company. Lin Feng is a business and can provide profits every month, unlike Ma Huateng's company before the company's listing, where funds were absolutely in short supply.

Lin Feng saw it and signed it readily. He has no plans to sell the 5% shares now, so why not sell Ma Huateng as a favor now. For a person who has reached Ma Huateng's status, this kind of favor is definitely not light. In the future, when Lin Feng asks for something, Ma Huateng will not be able to shirk like that.

"Hehe, thank you, Mr. Lin. However, I hope that Mr. Lin will not sell the 5% shares. I believe it will definitely bring rich returns to Mr. Lin." Seeing Lin Feng's signature, Ma Huateng breathed a sigh of relief. The first task of the trip to Chu City was not completed, but to ensure that the 5% shares will not be acquired by IMH, forget it, but there is a big hidden danger in my heart.

"Hehe, don't worry, I am very optimistic about the market prospect of Tencent X. However, I also hope that Chairman Ma will not sell 5% of Dingdang's shares. I believe that its future value will definitely surprise Chairman Ma." Lin Feng said with a laugh.

After hearing this, Ma Huateng's heart skipped a beat. To be honest, in order to raise funds recently, he did have the idea of ​​selling 5% of Dingdang shares. With the current popularity and development potential of Dingdang.com, although this 5% share cannot be compared with the 5% share of Tencent.com, the value is still around 5 million RMB. Although not much, it is enough to alleviate Tencent's current funding problems.

Right now, Lin Feng has not raised any funds. Should I sell the 5% stake in Dingdang.com? —— Ma Huateng is full of thoughts at the moment. He is also very optimistic about the potential and future prospects of Dingdang.com, and the 5% of Dingdang.com shares in his hand will definitely be worth a lot in the future. However, Teng X.com was founded by himself after all. If there is really no other way, Ma Huateng can only sell 5% of Dingdang.com's shares to temporarily ease the company's financial situation.
