Chapter 527: The worst that can happen is that they will be acquired.
He thought for a moment, stroking his chin, \'Then let\'s do two things at once. You make that stock option incentive plan even more attractive!
Make him feel like he\'ll get even more benefits if he helps make the website better. Besides, heh heh, there are websites that want to play dirty with me, just you wait and see what I\'ll do to them.\'
Feng Yiping wasn\'t bragging when he said that. With the large sum of US dollars he had deposited with UBS, he could do a lot during these two years when this Internet company was on edge.
If he were determined to raise funds from the bank, with so many profitable companies under his wing and so much real estate, and the group\'s debt ratio still infinitely close to zero, CFO Li Lin would have told him long ago that in order to win the big client Jiasheng, several banks have offered the group a credit line of 300 million yuan, and it would not be difficult to raise 400 to 500 million yuan from the bank.
In contrast, domestic Internet companies are really miserable.
The title of Principal Tan\'s song \'Flowers in the Water\' is very close to the current Internet companies, and the lyrics are even more relevant. \'In the cold wind and rain, how many dreams of prosperity have faded, once in full bloom, now falling with the wind,\' is a perfect portrayal of their current situation.
Since the onset of the cold wave in March, the three major portals, NetEase, which has not yet gone public, has been the subject of merger and acquisition rumours from time to time, while the other two, which are already listed, are expected to lose more than 400% this year according to their financial statements for the first two quarters.
One of the executives even publicly said that if the stock price continues to fall below five dollars, the best option would be to sell the company and become Yahoo!
China or AOL China. However, what is even sadder than planning to sell the company is that you have a sign stuck on your head, sad and crying, kneeling on the side of the road, and what makes you feel cold is that no one cares to even look at you.
Their stock price had already fallen below five dollars at this point, and the two companies he was willing to commit to were also in trouble due to the general trend. It was also a time when Internet companies seemed to be declining, so they were not interested in it. It was really hard to find a buyer if you really wanted to sell yourself.
Before this year, Feng Yiping was rich, and even if he wanted to take such a bargain, he couldn\'t.
Why? It\'s simple: even if parents want to sell their children, they have to pretend to find someone with a good reputation and a good life. It\'s not just about having money.
For example, in order to raise funds, starting from October last year, Alibaba first went to Silicon Valley to visit various bigwigs, but to no avail. It had to turn back to Asia, and then the legend spread around that Sun Zhengyi only met Jack Ma for five minutes and then decided to give him an investment of 20 million US dollars.
Why did Ali first go to Silicon Valley and then go to Softbank, and not try to find other investors, such as those in the steel and cement industries or those involved in trading? 20 million US dollars is actually not a lot of money, and many wealthy people and companies in China can afford it.
Silicon Valley is the birthplace of high-tech enterprises, including internet companies, and Softbank, whose full name is Software Bank, has always favoured high-tech enterprises.
A company with ideas and aspirations is not just looking for money when it seeks investment, but also for like-minded partners who can understand and support it and share its values.
Just as a person looking for a partner would be very careful and consider a wide range of factors, it is necessary to be wealthy, but wealth alone is not enough.
At the beginning of the year, Feng Yiping approached Alibaba with a cheque for 40 million US dollars, agreeing to the same terms as Softbank, but Alibaba probably wouldn\'t have accepted.
But now it\'s different. By next month at the latest, Feng Yiping will have an additional hat to wear: that of China\'s youngest internationally renowned expert and scholar in the field of business management.
All companies welcome such partners: experts and scholars with money and ideas.
Then, if Feng Yiping wants to, and if Feng Yiping is willing to do it, he will be qualified to take over the company. By next year, when the stock price is even lower, it will not be impossible to acquire a web portal. What is there to fear about a newly formed website similar to Hujia Sheng Automobile?
In minutes, he can wave his money around and take it over, and then, he can do whatever he wants with those people who play tricks and concoct a hundred and eight different looks.
\'Are you sure?\' Jin Ling asked.
\'Absolutely! His plans will definitely fall through. Just think about the look on his face then. You don\'t need to spread the word about this. Just you and I know. Let\'s go, let\'s go eat,\'
\'I still feel a bit bad about just leaving it like that,\'
\'Don\'t think about it. It\'s not your fault. From my interactions with him, he seems like a capable person with a clear understanding and plan for the car website. You just can\'t tell about people. Who would have thought he was like that?\'
When Huang, the richest man, and Mr Chen first started working together, they were still in the spotlight of the media. Just like when Boya met Ziqi, they shook hands and said to each other with mutual admiration, \'This is my most trustworthy brother!\'
Feng Yiping, on the other hand, did not have such a high opinion of Cui Yunling at first.
This was also related to their previous demands. They wanted to confirm the matter of options. Although Feng Yiping also expressed his understanding, it still did not quite fit with the current traditions in China.
For example, Hong Haoran has never mentioned the option, but he definitely knows that as long as Zhitong goes public, Feng Yiping will definitely not forget his share.
The same goes for Xu Bin from the hotel. He and Hong Haoran both have experience studying and working abroad, but they handled it better. They didn\'t start with all these demands, and their top priority was to get results first.
As he thought about these things, on the way downstairs, Feng Yiping muttered the once-popular Internet saying, \'You can\'t be too Chen Xiao in life, and you can\'t use Chen Xiao when employing people.\'
\'What are you muttering about?\' Jin Ling asked from behind.
\'Nothing, ah, I smell something delicious, Jingping, what\'s for dinner?\'
\'It\'s delicious,\' Huang Jingping beamed as she set the table with Liu Dandan.
In the short time it took, Huang Jingping and Liu Dandan had become very close. After all, they were from the same place, and being so far from home in the capital city, they naturally felt close to each other.
\'Sister Jin, is it my cooking that\'s bad, or is it that you don\'t have an appetite?\' Huang Jingping asked, looking at Jin Ling, who didn\'t seem to have much of an appetite.
\'Oh, no, it tastes great, I\'m just not very hungry,\' Jin Ling said.
Tonight, she was distracted even while eating.
Feng Yiping understood that she was still carrying a grudge. When he saw her off to the bus stop, he specifically told her, \'Just follow the plan we set today. First, keep him stable and squeeze as much surplus value as you can out of him.
Get a good night\'s sleep, and when you wake up, nothing will have happened.\'
When Huang Jingping went upstairs, Liu Dandan, who was watching TV with Feng Yiping in the living room, asked, \'Yiping, is everything going to be okay?\'
\'No, nothing will happen. I want to thank you today, but in the future, you don\'t need to find out about this kind of news, so as to avoid trouble. Don\'t worry, they are all daydreaming.\'
"That\'s good, I believe you, if you say it\'s fine, then it will definitely be fine,\'
