Chapter 121 Hello! President Ma
Just when Li Feng and others were discussing the launch of the "YY three-piece suit", Liu Zhiping and Ma Huateng also had a formal meeting.
In fact, when Liu Zhiping acquired 7.2% of Tencent shares from IDG, Ma Huateng already knew about it, and after Fengrui acquired the Tencent shares from IDG, it was also preparing to continue to acquire 46.5% of Tencent shares from MIH.
Ma Huateng also knows about stocks.
But Ma Huateng still did not stop Liu Zhiping's plan, and chose to observe. Ma Huateng also wanted to see MIH's opinion.
The reason why Ma Huateng dared to do this was because when he signed the agreement with MIH, it was made clear that MIH only had dividend rights and no voting rights.
Moreover, if MIH really transfers its shares, Tencent will have the right of first refusal. Ma Huateng is even ready to acquire part of the funds from MIH's Tencent shares to maintain Tencent's control over the company.
As for the final negotiation result between Fengrui and MIH, Ma Huateng was very satisfied. Even the always proud Kus Baker called to express his support for Tencent.
It's just that IDG invested early and there were no regulations in this regard, which allowed Fengrui to take advantage of the opportunity and acquire the Tencent shares from IDG so smoothly.
However, when Liu Zhiping and Ma Huateng met for the first time, Ma Huateng had the grace to reach out in advance and said to Liu Zhiping: "Hello! Martin! I've heard of you for a long time!"
Although this is the first time the two have met, Ma Huateng has really known Liu Zhiping for a long time.
After all, Liu Zhiping has operated such a large project as the "Reorganization of Guangdong Group". As a local, Ma Huateng is more aware of the difficulties involved.
Moreover, Goldman Sachs was the one undertaking the Tencent IPO plan. At that time, Liu Zhiping also happened to resign to join Fengrui. Many people at Goldman Sachs also talked about it.
This also aroused Ma Huateng's curiosity. Through contacts with people at Goldman Sachs, many people at Goldman Sachs spoke very highly of Liu Zhiping.
They all also wondered why Liu Zhiping resigned to join an Internet company called "Fengrui" for no reason, and expressed their incomprehension.
Liu Zhiping on the other side also quickly shook hands with Ma Huateng and said: "Hello! Mr. Ma! I have heard of him for a long time!"
Liu Zhiping did not lie, and he really "heard Ma Huateng's name for a long time, and it was like thunder in his ears". This was all because this name was often mentioned by Li Feng, and he was the person who really made Li Feng "restless".
Li Feng also has a very high opinion of Ma Huateng. He once said in many internal meetings that "Ma Huateng is the most powerful product manager on the Internet in China, bar none."
Ma Huateng smiled and said: "Martin! You can call me pony!"
Liu Zhiping also responded with a smile: "pony! You can call me Zhiping!"
As soon as the two met, they secretly got into each other's arms. Although Ma Huateng is usually quite gentle and gentle, now that his "enemies" have come to attack him, how can he still have a good face?
Although Liu Zhiping is half-Cantonese, it is still very convenient for him to chat with Ma Huateng. After all, Ma Huateng's "Guangpu" is not very standard yet.
At the beginning, everyone just talked about polite words and "made mistakes", but Liu Zhiping's first impression of Ma Huateng was that "he doesn't like to use polite words, and his words are very logical. At the same time, he is also someone who will not show his trump cards easily."
people".
Through a simple exchange, Liu Zhiping found that he and Ma Huateng had the same views on many things, and there was a feeling of "meeting each other too late". If it hadn't been for the acquisition, maybe the two of them could have become friends.
Moreover, Liu Zhiping learned from the exchanges between the two and his previous understanding of Tengxun and Ma Huateng.
I feel that Ma Huateng and Li Feng are the same type of people. They have a strong desire to control, have a strong strategic layout, and are people who never give up easily.
Liu Zhiping even felt that when talking to Ma Huateng, he felt like facing Li Feng:
In terms of personality, both of them are relatively introverted people, low-key and introverted, not good at publicity and conversation. They are far inferior to the other "well-spoken" Teacher Ma;
The difference is that Ma Huateng is more shy and quiet, while Li Feng is more domineering (with a temper). He will point out bad things and mistakes directly and mercilessly, and even lose his temper.
Although they are both founders of the company, they both position themselves as product managers, who are dedicated to products and pay attention to user physical examinations.
The difference is that Ma Huateng has a technical background and knows how to do it himself. He is known as the "email maniac". Before marriage, he often sends emails before 12 o'clock in the evening.
After the marriage, everyone thought that Ma Huateng would stop and spend time with his family, but it turned out that he stopped sending emails before 12 o'clock. He often sent emails after 12 o'clock in the evening, which tortured the people of Tengxun to ecstasy;
Li Feng, on the other hand, is more about novel ideas, strategic layout, and forward-looking thinking (drinking tea in a daze).
Without Li Feng, the two would be the best partners!
If it weren't for Li Feng, Liu Zhiping would still be at Goldman Sachs now, and he happened to be responsible for Tencent's IPO. It was precisely because of this IPO experience that Liu Zhiping fell in love with the Tencent team.
Liu Zhiping's intelligence, perseverance and quick learning ability have also been unanimously recognized by Tencent's founder team. He can be described as "the love of a man and the love of a concubine".
Therefore, after Tencent was successfully listed, Liu Zhiping also successfully joined Tencent. The chemical effect produced by the combination of "turtles and turtles" is worth looking forward to.
And soon Liu Zhiping became the second boss of Tencent, and formulated a crazy investment strategy of "capital flow" for Tencent.
Even later, Tencent became China's largest Internet investment company, and its investment scale in one year was equivalent to Sequoia Capital's 11 years of investment in China.
It's a pity that without what, now the "golden partner in the previous life" has become the "life and death enemy in this life"!
Through simple contacts, Liu Zhiping also knew that founders like Ma Huateng would not give in even if they were pressed to the ground and "rubbed"!
But Liu Zhiping still had some illusions and said to Ma Huateng: "pony! Let's just open the doors and windows and tell the truth. Fengrui wants to acquire Tencent. I wonder if Tencent is willing?"
Cooperation will benefit both sides, while competition will be thought to be dead, and now Fengrui already owns 7.2% of Tencent's shares,"
Ma Huateng felt that he was humiliated, as if a rough man said to a beautiful woman, "I want to ***** you, are you willing?" You are already planning to do this, and you still ask me if I am willing.
Do you still want me to "take off my clothes"?
Although Ma Huateng was very angry, he still had a gentle temperament and said politely: "Martin! You are insulting Tencent! This is your sharp style of doing things. Do you want to force acquisitions based on your wealth?
We at Tengxun are not afraid of competition, and we will also 'treat our comrades as warmly as spring, and treat our enemies as cruelly and ruthlessly as the harsh winter!'
And it is impossible for Tengxun to surrender without a fight! This is impossible! Li Feng wants to acquire Tengxun, unless I die!"
At the end of the story, Ma Huateng became a little excited. There was too much pressure on Ma Huateng during this period.
First came MSN’s “anti-QQ alliance”, then the government’s “rectification of the SMS market”, and then Fengrui’s “forced acquisition”.
Moreover, Tencent itself has launched a listing plan, one thing after another, making people unable to relax for a moment, as if the tight thread can be broken at any time!
Liu Zhiping also felt that this method was indeed humiliating to entrepreneurs like Ma Huateng. Fortunately, it was Ma Huateng. If it had been Li Feng, Li Feng might have scolded him or even "punched" him.
Hit and kick".
"To respect him means to defeat him severely!"
So, Liu Zhiping stood up, bowed deeply to Ma Huateng, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, pony! This is not our Fengrui's original intention, and we Fengrui will never bully the weak.
But entering into instant messaging is a strategic plan we have already formulated at Fengrui, so we ask Tencent to be prepared!"
Ma Huateng also stabilized and said calmly: "If you want to fight, then fight! Then let's meet on the 'battlefield'!"
Chapter completed!
