Vol 2 Chapter 889: Tencent is out of the sheath!

Chapter VIII

Tencent is out of the sheath!

Lin Feng looked at Wu Zhaopu with a look of anxious expression, and was slightly taken aback. I'm in trouble, what's the trouble?

"Boss, something went wrong. Tencent is going to launch two online games, one called Dungeon and Warrior, which is similar to our strongest style on the ground, and another one that is similar to our Counter-Strike online. It is also said that Tencent will launch it at the same time. Paipai.com (c2c trading platform), and qq network TV." Wu Zhaopu looked anxious.

Lin Feng frowned. This is not good news. Now the "Second World" and Tencent are in the honeymoon period. At this time, Tencent suddenly launched two games and two new projects, but it was quite intriguing.

"Are you sure?" Lin Feng's tone fell unconsciously.

"Boss, I'm sure, this is news from inside Tencent." Wu Zhaopu nodded.

Wu Zhaopu is 100% sure of the accuracy of this news. This is why he rushed over when he received this call when he was sleeping.

Lin Feng's expression turned cold. Tencent quietly launched two games of the same genre as "Second World", and also launched "PaiPai.com" and "QQ Network TV". This is obviously not good for the people who are targeting their own company. No, it should be said. It's against yourself. Of course, Lin Feng didn't say that he had done these projects, so others were not allowed to do it. Lin Feng is not so overbearing, nor is he afraid of competition. The problem is that the other party launches at the same time without any warning. This is a problem. Moreover, he is also the second largest individual shareholder of Tencent anyhow, and he should have the right to know about this matter. But now, Lin Feng has not received any wind. This is even more abnormal!

Subconsciously, Lin Feng picked up the phone and called Tencent Chairman Ma Huateng. However, Ma Huateng's call was still transferred to the voice mail box, and no connection was made. Lin Feng suddenly felt a burst of clarity in his mind. No wonder Ma Huateng suddenly asked for leave at this time. It seemed that there was a problem.

"By the way, Mr. Wu, do you know who is in charge of Tencent now?" Lin Feng grasped the most critical point. The cooperation between the two parties has been very happy before, and there has never been such a thing. Now this kind of tit-for-tat situation has suddenly appeared, which is obviously related to the temporary head after Ma Huateng left.

"Boss, I only know that this person's surname is Liu, she is a representative of the South African mih group." Wu Zhaopu's information is also extremely limited, and he doesn't know much about this strange interim female president.

woman? Lin Feng frowned.

"Well, when will they hold a press conference?" Lin Feng thought for a while and asked.

"Boss, 3 o'clock this afternoon." Wu Zhaopu said, looking at his watch.

"Okay, Mr. Wu, you will also help arrange a press conference, and the time will be set at 4 o'clock." Lin Feng ordered.

Wu Zhaopu nodded, knowing that Lin Feng was about to fight back. But also, if you don't fight back at this time, if you wait for these Tencent games and Paipai.com to grow, then things will be tricky. After all, the other party has the absolute domestic hegemon of "qq", and it is absolutely impossible to sit back and watch its growth.

After waiting for Wu Zhaopu to arrange the press conference, Lin Feng fell into deep thought.

Lin Feng didn't know whether Ma Huateng meant this matter. However, now that Ma Huateng is not in China and is vacationing abroad, Lin Feng can't tell what Ma Huateng's idea is. But no matter what Ma Huateng's idea is, it is certain that Ma Huateng should be aware of this matter, and perhaps going on vacation abroad is also related to this matter. However, regardless of whether Ma Huateng knew about this matter, since it was already the case, there was only one result.

No matter what Ma Huateng thinks, knowing it or not, since he went on vacation, he took the opportunity to acquire Tencent. ——Lin Feng decided in his heart. Lin Feng has always had a strong desire for Tencent. If it wasn't for Ma Huateng's face, and the two parties have been cooperating more happily, Lin Feng had already initiated the acquisition of Tencent. It was only because of his affection that Lin Feng had been unable to do anything. After all, people live in the world and can't be too self-conscious. Now, it's like saying that God gave Lin Feng a chance.

If you can acquire Tencent, you will own "qq", an instant messaging tool with more than 120 million registered users, and in the future, almost all street sweepers in China will have "qq". If you can own "qq", you will have no A place of defeat.

Then Lin Feng called Abby Cohen.

"Abby, how much cash do I still have?" Lin Feng asked.

"Boss, in the past two days, while Li Guobao was busy with the Dow Jones bribery incident, we had no time to take care of the Bank of East Asia. A total of 5% of the shares of Bank of East Asia were secretly acquired. We spent 320 million U.S. dollars in total and still had $4.06 billion in cash in our hands. The US$3 billion in cash that the'Second Game' can draw at any time, then the amount available for deployment is US$7.06 billion. Of course, in another month, when Pete integrates the “Second Bank” and puts its business on track, he will be able to Through the "Second Bank" borrowing funds. It is conservatively estimated that at least about 20 billion US dollars of funds can be used." Abby Cohen analyzed carefully.

Lin Feng nodded. There are still US$7.06 billion in funds in hand, which is enough for my own use.

"Abby, help me buy Tencent's outstanding shares, how many purchases there are." Lin Feng ordered.

Abby Cohen was taken aback. Tencent’s chairman Ma Huateng and Lin Feng have always had a good relationship, and their cooperation is extremely harmonious. I don’t know what Lin Feng’s move meant.

Immediately, Lin Feng briefed Abby Cohen about the matter, and Abby Cohen nodded repeatedly.

"Boss, this is a good thing in my opinion." Abby Cohen looked excited when he heard it.

auzw.com Although ‘Second World’ currently occupies most of the domestic game industry, I have always felt that these games lack a ‘root’. Tencent’s ‘qq’ is this root. After all, games are absolutely not necessary for anyone. Players can play or not. But as a person, you have to contact friends, family, colleagues..., if the "Second World" controls Tencent, then for the "Second World", it is like having a root and a firm foundation. Grab the "root" of all players.

Even if the future "Second World" game loses new ideas for a while, these players will not easily defect. After all, when you turn on the computer and log in to "qq", what you see is the "Second World" game. From the mentality of a normal person, you will subconsciously look at it.

"Boss, the current shares of'Tencent Holdings' on the market are 30%, and the stock price is HK$62. To acquire Tencent, it is a bit troublesome at the moment, and we must use some means." Abby Cohen adjusted Tencent's stock and analyzed it slightly. , Said with a flying look.

"What way?" Lin Feng asked directly.

"Boss, due to the cooperation with the'Second World', Tencent's performance is booming, and'qq' has also started to go abroad with the'Second World' games, and its future is optimistic by all walks of life. Therefore, currently, most of them are in pursuit, very few Willing to sell. If you want to buy the circulating stocks on the market, you must let those retail investors throw them out. Then you must publish some news. But just in time Tencent is preparing to hold a press conference, boss, you just take the opportunity to announce the suspension of cooperation with Tencent Relationship. Later, when Tencent fell, it began to acquire. However, Tencent currently has four major shareholders, Ma Huateng’s 11.34%, Boss You 10%, Zhang Zhidong’s 5.26%, and South Africa’s Mih Group’s 35.4%, among others. A total of 8% of the shares in the hands of 10 minority shareholders." Abby Cohen analyzed.

To acquire Tencent, Zhang Zhidong’s 5.26% of the shares and a total of 8% of the shares in the hands of 10 minority shareholders are the key. If we can acquire a total of 13.26% of the shares in both, plus Lin Feng’s 10% of the shares, there will be 23.26% of the shares. Only 12.15% of the market can be acquired to surpass the 35.4% of the South African mih group and become Tencent’s largest shareholder. If you want to be on the safe side, Lin Feng's acquisition of 26.75% in the market can fully control Tencent.

Therefore, if you want to take control of Tencent, Zhang Zhidong and the total of 13.26% of the shares in the 10 minority shareholders are the key. And if you want to acquire the original shares from them, you must create a harbinger of the market prospects, otherwise no one will sell the shares on the premise of knowing that the stocks are making money.

"Well, I see, Abby, you have to buy the stocks in the circulation market. As for the stocks in Zhang Zhidong's hands, I will solve them." Lin Feng thought for a while and ordered.

Abby Cohen nodded. Only Lin Feng had the means to acquire the original shares in these people's hands. She could only provide reference opinions. Actually, she was far worse than Lin Feng.

Later, when Lin Feng ordered people to investigate Tencent's current acting president, Tencent held a press conference. Announced the launch of two games, Dungeon and Warriors and Cross Fire, and launched "PaiPai.com" and "QQ Network TV" at the same time.

When Tencent announced the news, all reporters at the conference were surprised. Tencent quietly launched two main games in a row, and they are so similar to the "Second World" games, which is really intriguing. In addition, "Papai.com" and "QQ Network TV" are directly competing with Lin Feng's "Dingdong.com" and "Tomato.com" under "Second World".

"Agent Liu, may I ask Tencent's sudden launch of the dungeon and warrior, and Crossfire, which are the strongest on the ground and similar to the counter-strike online under the'Second World', does this mean that the cooperation between the two parties has been interrupted? Also, I wonder where Chairman Ma is at this moment Does he agree to do this?" a reporter asked.

Ms. Liu smiled faintly.

"This is just our company's normal business actions. As for the similarity with the game under the'Second World', I can only say that it is a coincidence. Also, although our two companies have been happily working together, they are after all two companies, not one company. . For the development of Tencent, I naturally have to make a choice that is beneficial to Tencent. If the'Second World' is not happy, I can’t help it. But the two sides can compete! As for Chairman Ma, he is currently on vacation, and this It is the decision of the company's board of directors. It doesn't matter whether Chairman Ma is present or not." Ms. Liu said.

At the end, Ms. Liu added, "If Mr. Lin feels that our two games are infringing, he can sue us."

Many reporters were surprised that this was a naked provocation. It takes a lot of courage to challenge the legend of the game industry, the creator of the Chinese dream, and the richest man in the world. However, with the current position of Tencent in China, it does have the strength to challenge Lin Feng. Only Tencent has the strength to challenge Lin Feng. If you change to any other it company, you can only bow down to Lin Feng.

A big battle will be inevitable! However, what many reporters are looking forward to is how Lin Feng will fight? Faced with such a dominant overlord as Tencent in the instant messaging market, how will Lin Feng fight?

At this time, Lin Feng just got Ms. Liu's information. After reading it, I sneered in my heart, it turned out to be her-Xia Qianhe's mother! No wonder they suddenly made these actions, provoking themselves so openly.

"Mr. Wu, let's go, ready to hold a press conference!" Lin Feng got up.

Since the other party has called out publicly, then he will not back down.

If you want to fight, then fight!

At four o'clock in the afternoon, many reporters rushed to the Shanghai "Second World" press conference hall. Before four o'clock, the press conference hall was already overcrowded. Although the air-conditioning in the hall was blowing vigorously, sweat was still flowing on the faces of many reporters. This has the effect of temperature and the excitement of everyone.

An hour ago, Tencent announced the launch of two games in Shenzhen, a new video website, a trading website, and a public declaration of war against Lin Feng. One hour later, Lin Feng held a press conference, the content of which can be imagined, and it must be related to this press conference of Tencent.

According to Lin Feng's personality, this press conference is definitely not simple. But what will Lin Feng do? Everyone is looking forward to it!

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Feng and Wu Zhaopu attended the press conference on time.

There was a commotion in the audience.

"Everyone, I think everyone should have guessed what the content of today's press conference is!" Lin Feng went uncharacteristically today and did not sit down at the press conference site.

Many reporters nodded subconsciously.

“About Tencent’s launch of Dungeons and Warriors, and CrossFire’s two games, although it is similar to our company’s online game and Counter Strike online, I believe Tencent will not do such things as piracy and infringement. Tencent is also welcome to join the big family of the online game market. As for'PaiPai.com' and'QQ Network TV', although they conflict with my own'Dingdong.com' and'Tomato.com', I also welcome it. Welcome to competition!" Lin Feng applauded.

Many reporters were slightly surprised, wondering what Lin Feng meant. What does Lin Feng want to say!
