Chapter 1956: Consider yourself the winner

As the richest Chinese man in the world for many years, Li Chaoren is also quite famous in the entire wealthy circle.

Xiao Li Superman, this guy is also a very great investor. Yingke is one of the most powerful communications companies in Hong Kong. It is basically difficult for people in Hong Kong to escape the companies invested by the Li family.

Li Chaoren’s real estate, Xiao Li Chao’s high-tech industries, etc.

Anyway, father and son are quite active people in Xiangjiang. But in fact, few people know that in the Li family, Li Chao is actually the most capable person.

Later, Big Li Chao will inherit Li Chaoren's mantle. From this point, it can be seen that Little Li Chao is still not as powerful as his older brother Big Li Chao.

A large enterprise worth hundreds of billions cannot be controlled by just one person.

As for Big Li Chao, he was able to inherit Li Chaoren's business quietly, which meant that Li Chao recognized that Big Li Chao could lead the company to glory.

However, little Li Chao is still very active and well-known to everyone, while big Li Chao usually works in his father's company and seems to be inconspicuous.

Until the end when Li Chao split up, everyone guessed that it turned out that at this time, Li Chao was the recognized pillar of the Li family.

But now, Xiao Li Chao is in the limelight, so at this time, whether it is ordinary people or some people in the wealthy circle, they are quite polite to Xiao Li Chao.

For example, when Fourth Uncle Li's family married their daughter-in-law this time, they invited Li Chaoren to come over. Of course, it was impossible for Li Chaoren to come over.

If Fourth Uncle Li marries himself, it is possible that Li Chaoren will be alarmed, but there is no way that his daughter-in-law will alarm Li Chaoren.

At this moment, Fourth Uncle Li actually knew very well that it was quite polite for one of his daughter-in-laws, Xiao Li Chao, to come by himself.

If Xiao Li Chao gets married, Fourth Uncle Li will not go there in person. After all, their identities are different.

After Xiao Li Chao came in, he also said very politely: "Fourth uncle, I'm sorry, my father has something to do with the company, so he can't come in person. Let me apologize to you and treat you to tea later."

This is actually a step forward for Uncle Li.

Although Li Chaoren did not come in person, he still sent the gift, and little Li Chao came in person to congratulate me on my behalf. This is indeed a bit of a face-saving gesture.

Fourth Uncle Li had already expected it and knew that it was impossible for Li Chaoren to come over. If Li Chaoren came over, Fourth Uncle Li would actually feel uneasy.

Because Li Chaoren's arrival was unreasonable, there was a possibility that there might be some conspiracy or something like that.

Therefore, everyone is happy that Xiao Li Chao is here.

Fourth Uncle Li also smiled like a Maitreya Buddha and said: "Xiao Li, I am very happy that you can come. Come, come, come, we are all business friends, I will introduce you to a few people."

Why do such gatherings attract rich people in the circle? In fact, it is to expand contacts and facilitate business. Otherwise, these rich people can make thousands or tens of thousands every minute. Time is limited. Who would not? It's just a matter of attending a wedding.

Uncle Li first introduced several foreign businessmen.

One of the foreigners needs no introduction. This guy Stephen is an investment company in South Africa and is also a business partner with Xiao Li Chao.

A few years ago, Xiao Li Chao also sold 20% of his shares in Penguin Company to Gongsuo, where Stephen worked, and made almost ten times the profit from the sale. This was also a very brilliant record for Xiao Li Chao that year.

Therefore, after introducing everyone, Xiao Li Chao also exchanged a few words with Ye Ming.

After all, when Ye Ming and James Murdoch were working hard in Xiangjiang, they also knew Xiao Li Chao. Therefore, they are considered half acquaintances.

Later, after the friendship, it was business, but Xiao Li Chao said to Stephen very enthusiastically: "Mr. Stephen, I didn't expect to meet you again. If you don't come, I'm still thinking about how to find him." And you.

No, I still have 12% of Penguin's shares in my hand. Why don't you just take them all? "

At that time, Xiao Li Chao invested 5.5 million in Penguin Company, and later sold 20% of Penguin Company's shares to Stephen.

The price was 40 million, which was almost ten times the profit. It also caused a great sensation in Xiangjiang at that time.

Perhaps Li Chao felt that Penguin Company really had no investment value.

Mainly due to the Internet technology bubble in the last two years, Penguin's performance did not meet market expectations. Xiao Li Chao believed that leaving 2% of the shares in his hands was of no use.

It is even said that the current price of 2% is only 1.5 million US dollars. It is better to sell it all to Stephen. In fact, it is still losing money now.

Stephen is not a fool. Those who invest will naturally think of returns.

It's not that Penguin's performance is not good enough, but that the Hong Kong stock market is not performing well enough. The little penguin performed very ferociously, but the economy at that time was not performing well.

Therefore, the Hong Kong stock market fell directly from 17,000 to 15,000 within three months. It is still time for mid-market consolidation.

Penguin was listed in Hong Kong, so the stock price was naturally affected. In addition, the Internet bubble had not passed for a few years at that time. Therefore, everyone began to have a little doubt about the concept of the Internet.

At this time, Stephen also felt that he should take advantage of the current recovery in the stock market to sell his shares directly.

And Zian actually said that he still had 2% of the shares in Xiao Li Chao, which made people feel a little bit cheated.

Why didn't you sell it to us at that time?

Now Stephen immediately followed up and said: "Li, I'm very sorry. In fact, seeing the performance of the Hong Kong stock market in the past six months, I don't think Penguin will improve much. Coupled with being cautious about the Internet, the company's board of directors also decided Look for opportunities to sell out of Penguin stock.

If you want to take over, then we can transfer our company's shares to you. "

Xiao Li Chao actually came here to sell his shares in Penguin Company. In fact, it was also because of the problems in the stock market. Good guy, it has dropped from 17,000 to 15,000, a drop of more than 2,000 points. Excluding all previous times in Xiangjiang The stock market crash is the most serious this time.

Therefore, it can be said that the stock market is now green. At this point, Xiao Li Chao also wanted to get out early.

Therefore, Xiao Li Chao immediately said: "It's like this, that's really a pity. I also want to sell these shares."

At this time, Ye Ming said from the side: "If the price of your Penguin Company shares is reasonable, then I will consider taking over."

At this time, both Stephen and Xiao Li Chao were very surprised.

They originally thought that their shares could not be sold, but they were not very disappointed. Anyway, Penguin's performance was very good. Although the market prospects were not good due to the general environment, it was not a negative asset and could be sold. , but can also be held.

But if someone really takes over, then something like this will become more appropriate.

Therefore, when asked a question like this, Xiao Li Chao immediately glanced at Ye Ming and said, "Mr. Ye, are you interested?"

Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said: "Of course, I have been looking for a few projects to invest in recently, so I just looked at which projects are more suitable, and it is not impossible for me to start.

Of course, the current stock market situation is not very clear, and the decline is too great.

Therefore, the price needs to be discussed a little bit.

I can purchase the 2% of Mr. Li’s money for three million, and Mr. Stephen’s for almost the same price. If you are willing to agree to such a price, then we can buy the rest. Then talk about the specific contract. "

This is the price given by Ye Ming. Of course, such a price is actually much lower than the market price.

But the stock market is not performing very well now. Therefore, on such an issue, Ye Ming has a reason to lower the price.

Xiao Li Chao immediately said: "What Mr. Ye said is wrong. Penguin is still performing very well. It is China's number one instant messaging company. If it goes global in the future, it will have a bright future. The price you gave A little bit lower.”

Stephen also said: "Yes, we are still very optimistic about Penguin's future. The price you gave is indeed relatively low.

If we go by the current stock market prices, it is still possible to talk about it. "

Ye Ming immediately shook his head and said: "This matter is impossible. After all, on this issue, you have also seen that Penguin wants to enter the international market, and the copyright issue is a big problem.

It is not easy for foreign instant messaging companies to enter China. It is not easy for Twitter and Facebook to enter the Chinese market, but it is not easy for instant messaging companies in the Chinese market to enter the world market.

The copyright lawsuit alone is enough to keep Penguin busy.

Therefore, you should also see at this time that the Chinese market is the real foundation of Penguin. An instant messaging company that cannot go global also has certain risks.

I am a shareholder of Facebook, and I am actually very sensitive to some of the restrictions imposed by such a high-tech company.

Therefore, at this time, the price I gave is actually a quite reasonable price.

This will not make you lose money. I am also betting to see if the Chinese market can allow high-tech companies of this type to perform better.

If you are willing to agree to this condition, we can continue to talk. Otherwise, I will go to Mark directly and ask him to give me some Facebook stocks. What are you doing here with ink? "

What Ye Ming said actually made Xiao Li Chao and Stephen speechless.

What Ye Ming said is correct. It's hard to say what the current market prospects of high-tech companies are.

Therefore, based on market expectations, it is not easy for the stock market to believe in these high-tech companies.

This is why Stephen wanted to sell his Penguin shares, and Li Chao also thought that someone could take over the little Penguin shares he had.

Ye Ming's very tough attitude made the two of them think about this issue again. Ye Ming is indeed one of the shareholders of Facebook, so his words can make Stephen return to Xiao Li Chao hesitant.

Stephen thought for a while and finally said: "Okay, we can start negotiating. I hope we can cooperate happily."

In fact, Stephen is more inclined to sell Penguin Company. After all, it is a Chinese company, and Chinese companies are relatively sensitive to the stock market.

As a foreigner, I basically have no understanding of the Chinese stock market.

Therefore, although Penguin Company performed well, God knows what new policies China came up with, and the stock market plummeted three thousand feet. In the end, it was itself the one who suffered the loss.

Therefore, although the price Ye Ming gave was not very high, it was still in line with the conditions given to him by the board of directors.

In this case, I will have an explanation to the board of directors when I go back. Xiao Li Chao also agreed to the price, and then it was actually a matter of negotiating the specific details.

Regarding this matter, both Xiao Li Chao and Stephen felt that they had made money, so they were quite satisfied with the result.

As for Ye Ming, he was actually more satisfied with this result. That's Penguin Company, a giant-level existence in China in the future.

Even in the world, it is a big company with a high reputation.

This is definitely a way to make a lot of money. Ye Ming himself did not expect that South Africa actually wanted to sell Penguin Company directly because of the Hong Kong stock market crash.

This is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Ye Ming. Therefore, everyone actually feels that they are the winner.

Especially Xiao Li Chao, he thinks his choice is very wise.

However, on a matter like this, when Xiao Li Chao thought it was time to talk about a contract, Ye Ming said very seriously: "Since this matter is over, at this time, we can talk about it." Let’s talk about the video patent issue.

Regarding this issue, I am actually very open-minded. It is only natural to use my patent to slander me.

Of course, if you are willing to bear the consequences of such a thing, then just pretend that I didn't say anything at this time. "

At this time, Stephen was actually a little uneasy. I don’t care, I don’t care about your sister. If I didn’t care about this kind of thing, would I follow you here?

Several other people, in fact, felt that talking to Ye Ming was the best way to introduce him.

After all, the half year given by Ye Ming basically passed in the blink of an eye.

ps:

In 2006, the Hang Seng Index plummeted by more than 2,000 points, which is well documented.
