Chapter 429 It's Awesome!

Not long after the press conference between Fengrui and Google ended, the name "Li Feng" once again "splashed the entire Chinese land with lightning speed.

From first-level authoritative media such as People's Daily and Xinhua Daily, to provincial newspapers and magazines such as Yanjing Daily and Pengcheng Daily, there are basically reports of this press conference, and it is basically accompanied by Li Feng's reports.

On the Internet, about Fengrui and Li Feng, 2.5 billion US dollars, these keywords have also become hot words for Baidu. For a time, as long as there is an Internet place, they have been dominated by "Li Feng".

Even CCTV's "News Broadcast" gave 30 seconds to report on the acquisition. After all, the amount of US$2.5 billion is really too large, which definitely created the history of overseas investment and acquisitions of private enterprises in China!

If Li Feng had a certain age advantage in the past and was jokingly called "Bill Gates of China" by many people, then now he is the veritable "Bill Gates of China". Many media have even begun to stop using this title and directly use "Li Feng of China"!

A legendary company with an annual operating income of nearly 15 billion US dollars and a valuation of more than 99.99% of domestic companies. In addition, a founder who is only 23 years old, it would be a bit too much to use the title "Bill Gates of China".

Li Feng seemed to have become the core figure of domestic news all of a sudden, basically he was able to open a newspaper and report on the website. Even Forbes, the Chinese Rich List, took advantage of Li Feng's popularity and said that Li Feng's net worth can top the throne of the richest man in China this year!

23 years old?! Starting from scratch?! The richest man in China?! The net worth is nearly 10 billion US dollars?!!

One of these is not crazy. Li Feng’s influence in China is also increasing day by day. Even Li Feng’s old opponents have to admit a fact: Li Feng is very awesome!

As the most concerned about Li Feng's "mortal enemy", Ma Huateng is also very concerned about Fengrui's sale of youtube this time. He also sighed at Zeng Liqing next to him:

"It seems that Fengrui has made a big move. Even high-quality assets like youtube have been sold. It is estimated that it has reached some strategic agreements with Google!"

Zeng Liqing also replied directly: "Well, it should be that, given the popularity of youtube, you can wait a little longer. I also heard that the director behind this global ice bucket challenge is Li Feng, with the purpose of putting pressure on Google."

"With Li Feng's personality of 'never suffers', since he dares to make such a big sacrifice now, he will definitely make greater plans in the future. What does he want?" Ma Huateng asked.

At this time, Ma Huateng suddenly remembered something, and said with lingering fear: "By the way, when I met Sheng Tianqiao last time, I heard Sheng Tianqiao say that Li Feng wanted to enter the operating system.

And he also acquired a mobile operating system company in the United States. Thinking of Fengrui's 'three super plans', one of them is the operating system! It seems that Li Feng really has a big plan!"

No matter how prosperous the Internet in China is now, it is all like a flower in the water and a moon in the mirror, all of which are falsely prosperous. China's infrastructure is too backward, and the key is that there is no core technology. The lowest-level operating system and chips are all from abroad.

Therefore, if Li Feng dares to enter the operating system, if he is excluding the hostile relationship between the two, no matter whether Li Feng can succeed, Ma Huateng is very impressed by Li Feng's plan to challenge Microsoft's position and enter the operating system!

However, "heroes" are not easy to be, and many of them eventually become "martyrs". Ma Huateng is actually not optimistic about Li Feng's plan, and the probability of failure is still very high, because China has never succeeded.

Not only Ma Huateng is not optimistic, Zeng Liqing is not optimistic either. As long as people with a little IQ are not optimistic!

Zeng Liqing also said bluntly: "To be honest, if it is really like you said, this Li Feng is indeed amazing. He still wants to build the first domestic operating system. Whether he succeeds or not, I admire him very much at this point, but I feel that the possibility of his failure is greater.

And this may be our Tengxun’s opportunity. With Fengrui’s current strategic center of gravity shifting, so many resources have been invested in. Once it fails, even if Fengrui can survive, it will probably be severely damaged. This may be our opportunity!"

"Yes, this is how it is to work in a business. It's okay to succeed, but once a policy and strategic mistake occurs, it is the most fatal. However, Li Qing, Li Feng has no flaws in his work. We should still be patient, be more patient, and wait for the best time!" Ma Huateng also instructed.

"Pony, don't worry, no matter whether Fengrui succeeds or not, we will still do our job well at this stage, just make money, and I will first do the operation of "Zhengtu" to the extreme!" Zeng Liqing said.

Zeng Liqing said it well and did it well. Now Teng Xun has successfully turned around with the online game "Zhengtu". "Zhengtu" alone can generate 100 million yuan in net income every month. "Zhengtu" also relies on the "permanent free" nature, the highest number of online users exceeded that of "Warcraft", which reached 2 million, and then broke through to 3 million.

However, facing Fengrui's super high selling price of 2.5 billion US dollars, Ma Huateng said with mixed feelings: "Li Qing, you are right! But you should still look a little bigger and don't just stare at the country.

Since Fengrui can earn 2.5 billion US dollars a year, it will also make the best of the US market, so in the future, if you think there is a suitable project in Silicon Valley, you can just invest without saying hello to me.”

"Well, pony, you're right. The center of the Internet world is still Silicon Valley now, and I will pay attention to it often in the future..." Zeng Liqing nodded and said.

*******

Ma Yun from Hangzhou also thought so. He also said to Cai Chongxin next to him: "I heard that Li Feng only had only $2 million when he acquired this youtube. Even if the subsequent investment was included, it would definitely not exceed $10 million. As a result, it only took a year to sell 2.5 billion US dollars. It was indeed the power of capital!"

Cai Chongxin also sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Yes, I feel that this Li Feng makes money like playing. He can make a lot of money by taking out an investment project at will. In addition to this youtube, the Facebook and Twitter he invested in in the United States... are all very popular projects now!"

Then Ma Yun said: "Fengrui will probably be stronger with this money. Judging from Li Feng's behavior, it will increase its penetration into the entire Chinese Internet. Although Fengrui's focus is not on e-commerce, but on social games and other fields.

However, Li Feng is a man with a strong desire to control and does not allow threats to appear. Even if he does not enter the field, he will support several puppets to deal with our Alibaba, such as the current "Jingdog" (JD's trademark happens to be a robot dog)!

Our layout in e-commerce has not yet been completed, not to mention that there is still the "Jinggou" supported by Fengrui, who is chasing him relentlessly. Although the e-commerce field is still an incremental market, we must continue to increase investment in the e-commerce field. At least this field can no longer let Fengrui dominate the world!"

Finally, Ma Yun also said with emotion: "Chongxin, it seems that our listing is also ahead of schedule. How are you preparing there?"

"Well, I have communicated with Shi Meilun, Chairman of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Board of Directors. You can start Alibaba's b2b business and list it on the Hong Kong main board!" Cai Chongxin replied.

"Okay, very good, Chongxin, I'm sure you do things... By the way! Chongxin, do you think we can use this listing opportunity to transfer Fengrui's shares in the entire Alibaba to Alibaba's b2b business, and then dilute its shares through listing, thereby kicking Fengrui out of Alibaba's board of directors?" Ma Yun said.

Cai Chongxin thought for a while and said, "The possibility is not high. Fengrui is not short of money, and Li Feng has a accurate vision, so it is impossible to submit... But Fengrui is not good, I think Yahoo can do it,

Yahoo is obviously in a slump now. It is short of money now. I think if we operate properly, we can kick Yahoo out, at least dilute part of its shares. We can completely take back control of the board of directors and not be controlled by others!”

When Yahoo was at its peak, it came to China with 1 billion US dollars to invest. First, it found Fengrui with the most potential, but was directly bombarded by Li Feng, and then rejected by Shengda. Finally, it spent on Alibaba, which was very short of money at the time!

The final equity structure of Alibaba is: 40% of the largest shareholder Yahoo, Ma Yun and Alibaba's team are 28.4%, SoftBank's 26.6%, and Fengrui is still 5% of the shares. The price of this transaction is that Ma Yun and the founding team give up Alibaba's position as the largest shareholder.

However, according to the contract provisions at that time, in the next five years, Yahoo entrusted the 5% voting rights held to Ma Yun's team, so that Ma Yun's team would have 38.4% of the voting rights (of which 28.4% are Ma Yun's team's own, the other 5% are Yahoo, and 5% are Fengrui), which also ensures that in the next five years, the control of Ma Yun's team will basically not be challenged.

However, this is also a "time bomb". If one day Yahoo takes back control of Alibaba, Ma Yun's team will be a little restrained.

As a result, three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Alibaba has completely risen. Instead, Yahoo has become a little sunset. Whether in the search field or other service fields, it has been crushed by Google. Yahoo has lost its former style, so Ma Yun plans to buy back the equity and regain control of Alibaba.

So in the end, Ma Yun said to Cai Chongxin: "Well, you must first settle the country when fighting foreign countries. Don't worry about sharp things first, and get Yahoo done..."
