Vol 2 Chapter 35: Funding gap

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

Lin Feng was shocked by Ma Huateng's arrival, especially Ma Huateng's serious face made Lin Feng even more dazed. Tengx.com is now developing rapidly, with more than 100 million registered users and more than 100,000 members. Although it has not yet reached the balance of payments, its potential and prospects are indisputable facts.

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

"Ma Dong, let's talk inside." Lin Feng knew that Ma Huateng must have gone to the Three Treasures Hall, and ordered people to pour two cups of coffee and sit in the office alone with Ma Huateng.

Ma Huateng sipped the coffee lightly, with a look of thought, after a long time, he let out a light sigh.

"Mr. Lin, first of all congratulations to you. Your 520 novel fast food restaurant has become the first fast food restaurant among netizens in the poll." Ma Huateng said congratulations to Lin Feng.

"Hehe, it all relies on Ma Dong's care. Without Ma Dong's push on the homepage of Tengx.com, my 520 novel fast food restaurant is not so famous soon." Lin Feng said modestly.

"Mutual benefit, your several news has brought huge hits to Tengx.com." Ma Huateng smiled slightly.

After speaking, the two of them stopped speaking for a long time.

"Mr. Lin, based on the relationship between our two companies, I'm not polite." After a long time of brewing, Ma Huateng stated the purpose of this trip, "Now Tengx.com is having some trouble with funds and is in great need of financing. I want to sell to Mr. Lin 5% of Tengx.com's original shares at a price of RMB 50 million. I don't know what Mr. Lin wants."

Lin Feng was shocked when he heard it. 50 million yuan to acquire 5% of Tengx.com's shares is absolutely cost-effective. At most 3 years, Tengx.com will definitely be listed in Hong Kong. By then, the 5% of the shares will have a market value of more than 3 billion at the peak of the stock price. This investment is absolutely cost-effective.

But Lin Feng gave a wry smile at this moment. No reason, no money on hand. The day before, Lin Feng looked at the 1.3 million circulating funds in his account and felt that he was rich. Only now did he realize that he was really poor and poor. Lin Feng had the urge to pull himself because he couldn't seize such a profitable business.

Ma Huateng's expression changed when he saw that Lin Feng's expression was wrong.

"Mr. Lin, don't you even have 50 million yuan in your hands?" Ma Huateng didn't speak the vernacular, he had done an investigation before coming. Lin Feng's 520 novel fast food restaurant is now in the limelight. The number of businesses that want to join far exceeds those applying to join McDonald's or KFC. With this franchise, Lin Feng can acquire Ma Huateng's 5% of the shares.

Ma Huateng knows that McDonald's franchise fee is the popularity and popularity of 25 fast food restaurants, and the initial fee of 500,000 is not an exaggeration. According to Ma Huateng's understanding, at least one hundred merchants have recently applied for franchising.

Lin Feng shook his head helplessly, and briefly told Ma Huateng about his franchise contract. After listening, Ma Huateng didn't know whether he should admire Lin Feng's moral values ​​or mock Lin Feng's pedantic.

Merchants are chasing profits and abandoning such a big piece of market pie in exchange for a reputation. Ma Huateng doesn't know if 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 oil frying incident should not be a problem.

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

"Why, Dong Ma, is there such a shortage of funds these days?" Lin Feng asked with concern.

auzw.com

"It's not that your DingDang.com has developed too fast." Ma Huateng glared at Lin Feng, who was "standing and talking." The reason for the recent shortage of funds in Tengx.com is that in addition to the server unit of Dingdang.com, the most important thing is that the development of Tengx.com is too rapid, especially after the launch of a series of services such as membership, qq farm, and Tencent portal. The crew is very tight, coupled with the recruitment of many outstanding talents, this is the real reason for the shortage of funds.

"Could you not find other financiers?" Lin Feng didn't believe the current development momentum of Etengx.com, and no investors could see its prospects.

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

Lin Feng shook his head helplessly. This is the case with the shopping mall. Who told you that you are now aware of the shortage of funds? It's strange that people don't take the opportunity to lower the price at this time.

"There is also a consortium willing to buy at a high price, but I don't want to sell him the company's shares." 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 buy 10% of my shares, and 5 million US dollars to buy 5% of my shares." Ma Huateng said.

Lin Feng calculated that the price is still relatively suitable, but if 10% of the shares are acquired, according to the existing equity 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.

"Huh, did the imh consortium think I didn’t see their wolf ambitions? They bought 20% of the shares of Yingke Digital in Hong Kong, and they are negotiating with idg about the acquisition plan. This time they want to buy 10% of my shares, and they clearly want to swallow up. Wang, hum, when I am so stupid!" Ma Huateng said disdainfully.

Lin Feng was surprised when he heard it. He didn't think that a consortium had already targeted Tengx.com, and it was an acquisition. Obviously, this imh consortium had a great appetite and was extremely optimistic about the prospects of Tengx.com.

"By the way, President Lin, is there any company negotiating with you to acquire 5% of Tengx.com shares in your hand?" Ma Huateng stared at Lin Feng tightly, and asked nervously.

Lin Feng shook his head, which made Ma Huateng feel relieved. However, Ma Huateng didn't know that imh had already taken action, but was destroyed by Xia Qianhe's self-esteem. Xia Qianhe wanted to catch Lin Feng from the dead, and then appeared as the savior to purchase. However, even if Xia Qianhe stated his identity from the beginning, Lin Feng would not sell his 5% of Tengx.com shares. Lin Feng was very clear about the value of these 5% shares.

"President Lin, I have a request. If you want to sell 5% of Tengx.com's shares due to other problems, if you want to sell it to me first, I will buy it at a reasonable market price." To make a contract, this is his second purpose today: to ensure that Lin Feng's 5% of the shares are not acquired by others. Although Ma Huateng currently does not have the funds to acquire Lin Feng's shares, Ma Huateng cannot tolerate the annexation of the Tengx network that he has worked so hard to create.

If Lin Feng really wants to sell his shares when he arrives, Ma Huateng will also buy it. Of course, Ma Huateng does not believe that Lin Feng is short of funds. 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, who was absolutely short of funds before the company went public.

Lin Feng took a look and signed it cheerfully. He has no plans to sell the 5% shares now, so why not sell Ma Huateng as a favor now. For people who have reached the status of Ma Huateng, this favor is definitely not light. When Lin Feng has something to ask for in the future, Ma Huateng will not be so evasive.

"Haha, thank you Mr. Lin. But I hope Mr. Lin will not sell this 5% of the shares. I believe it will definitely bring Mr. Lin a good return." Seeing Lin Feng's signature, Ma Huateng breathed a sigh of relief, although this time The first task of the trip to Chu City was not completed, but to ensure that the 5% of the shares were not acquired by imh, it was a big hidden danger in my heart.

"Hehe, rest assured, I am extremely optimistic about the market prospects of Tengx. However, I also hope that Ma Dong will not sell 5% of Dingdang shares. I believe its future value will definitely surprise Ma Dong." Lin Feng said with a smile.

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

Now that Lin Feng has not raised any funds, should I sell the 5% of Dingdang shares in my hand? ――Ma Huateng has many thoughts at the moment. He is also very optimistic about the potential and future prospects of Dingdang.com. The 5% of Dingdang.com shares in his hand will definitely be worthless in the future. But after all, Tengx.com was founded by himself. If there is really no way, Ma Huateng will only sell 5% of Dingdang.com's shares to temporarily ease the company's financial situation.
