Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

"Yes, the instant messaging software we developed is called oicq, and it has been launched in China..." Chen Yidan said.

"It has nothing to do with icq, right?" Yang Mo asked casually.

"It doesn't matter! Although part of the inspiration comes from icq, we have our own mature technical architecture!" Chen Yidan explained.

Yang Mo pondered for a moment and then said: "I won't hide it from you. Zhiyuan Group is preparing to acquire an instant messaging software and build a virtual social platform. I also heard from people in the circle that you have just launched an instant messaging software. How do you think? Are you interested in collaborating?"

"How to cooperate?" several young people said in unison.

"What is your current equity structure? Have you started raising funds from the capital market?" Yang Mo asked casually.

"We haven't found an investor yet, otherwise we wouldn't be crowded into a unit..." Zhang Zhidong said.

"I have a proposal. I wonder if you are interested? Sell Tencent Technology to Zhiyuan Group as a whole. We will provide enough funds to Tencent Technology, and you will still be responsible for operating the company!" Yang Mo said.

"How much capital is sufficient?" Zeng Liqing, who is most interested in capital operations, asked first.

"There are enough funds, even if your team wants to acquire icq now..." Yang Mo said with a smile.

Zeng Liqing was obviously stunned and asked incoherently: "Then why don't you just acquire icq directly from Microsoft?"

"Because I want to create a social software that is popular all over the world. The core team is all our own. Starting from a rental house in SEG Technology Park, it will eventually become the world's largest instant messaging software!" This is what Yang Mo wants. , immediately replied in an understatement.

"The world's largest instant messaging software?" Several young people showed excitement on their faces.

"Everything is possible! The Internet world is still in the staking stage. As long as we invest enough funds, we can quickly seize the market!" Yang Mo said with a smile.

Several young people looked at each other...

Yang Mo continued: "I can provide you with several options. The first option is: Zhiyuan Group invests US$1000 million to acquire Tencent Technology as a whole. The US$1000 will be distributed by you according to the equity ratio. After the acquisition, Zhiyuan Group will be fully owned. By controlling Tencent Technology, you will still be responsible for the operation and management of the company. Zhiyuan Group will not participate in any decision-making of the company, and will retain 10% of the option incentives for the five of you!"

"What about the second option?" Zeng Liqing wanted to agree to such a friendly acquisition plan immediately, but he still asked curiously.

"The second option is equity financing. Zhiyuan Group invested US$510 million to obtain 51% of Tencent Technology's equity! At the same time, Zhiyuan Group will automatically obtain the right to lead the investment in every subsequent round of financing from Tencent Technology!" Yang Mo continued.

Looking at the world, only Yang Mo can give a valuation of US$1000 million to a start-up company...

"I may stay in Pengcheng for a day, how about you discuss it first? Contact me after you have the results?" Yang Mo took out a few business cards from his pocket, handed them to several young people, and then turned and left. go……

"Old Ma, pinch me quickly. Am I dreaming? Is he really Yang Mo?" Zeng Liqing said excitedly.

"You are just dreaming. Where did Yang Mo come from? You have watched too many pornographic movies and you are hallucinating!" Chen Yidan joked.

"Stop making trouble, tell us your opinions! Do we really want to sell the company to Zhiyuan Group?" Zhang Zhidong asked.

"Does this still need to be discussed? Of course we sell it! That's 1000 million US dollars, and we don't have to squeeze into this rental house anymore!" Zeng Liqing was the first to express his position.

"Yang Mo is talking about dividing the US$1000 million privately? And then investing additional money in the operation of Tencent Technology?" Chen Yidan said.

"Of course! In addition, we will be given a 10% option incentive!" Zeng Liqing said.

"With this money, I will buy an apartment first and then a car..."

"Lao Ma! I don't agree to sell the entire company to Zhiyuan Group!" Zhang Zhidong, who had been silent, suddenly said.

"Tell me your reason?"

"I've always heard that Yang Mo has a Midas touch when it comes to investment. He didn't even look at the background data and financial statements of our instant messaging software, but he was willing to spend $1000 million to acquire it. What does that mean?" Zhang Zhidong asked.

"What does it mean?" Several young people asked in unison.

"It shows that he is very optimistic about instant messaging software! And we developed the instant messaging software first, and he spent money to buy out potential competitors..." Zhang Zhidong said.

"Lao Zhang, you don't have a fever, do you? Don't you think the five of us are the future competitors of Zhiyuan Group?" Chen Yidan said in surprise.

"Lao Zhang, what you said may be true. We are on the right path! But once Zhiyuan Group also gets involved in instant messaging software, who will invest in us?" Zeng Liqing said worriedly.

"Even if someone is willing to invest in us, who will give such a good investment plan?" Chen Yidan also said.

"Old Xu, what do you think?"

"After joining Zhiyuan Group, we no longer have to worry about funds. We may really have the opportunity to develop overseas in the future. Amazon has already occupied most of the markets in developed countries. What other e-commerce companies can compete with them? "Xu Chenye said after thinking for a while.

"Since everyone has different opinions, let's vote now! Raise your hands if you agree to cooperate with Zhiyuan Group!"

Chen Yidan, Xu Chenye, and Zeng Liqing all raised their hands!

"3:2 passed! Which cooperation plan to choose, everyone continues to vote! Those who agree with the first plan raise their hands!"

Chen Yidan and Zeng Liqing raised their hands.

"Raise your hands if you agree to the second option!"

Zhang Zhidong, Xu Chenye, and Lao Ma all raised their hands...

"Passed 3:2, the second cooperation plan!"

"Lao Ma, should we strive for greater rights in the second cooperation plan?" Zhang Zhidong said.

"It's very difficult and almost impossible. Rumor has it that this Yang Mo has always had a strong personality!" Xu Chenye said.

"Let's fight for it! Negotiations always come and go. If we can't win, it won't be too late to compromise!" Zhang Zhidong insisted.

"What do you think we should talk about?"

"In terms of equity, since Yang Mo has proposed 51% of the equity, he may not make any concessions! We can propose different rights for the same shares, so that our founder team will not lose control of the company!" Zhang Zhidong said after thinking for a while.
