Text 098 Investing in Penguin QQ (Part 2)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After the first day of contact, formal negotiations finally started.

    Although Gu Yunkai was not optimistic about Penguin's future, he couldn't stand Cao Xuan's insistence. He was a part-time worker, so naturally he would do what his boss said.

    The content of the negotiation was very simple. It was nothing more than that Cao Xuan wanted to pay less money and get more shares, and Ma and the others wanted to pay less shares and get more money.

    After nearly two days of discussions, the two sides basically reached an agreement.

    Brother Xiao Ma and others gave up 40% of the shares. This is the largest share they can take out after several discussions. If there is more, the controlling stake of their founding team will be unstable.

    And Brother Ma and his 40% stake hope to raise 2.2 million US dollars.

    This price is not set randomly, but the result of repeated calculations by the Xiao Ma team based on future needs.

    In 1999, the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the renminbi was 10,000 U.S. dollars equivalent to more than 18 million yuan, which is by no means a small amount now.

    Even though Cao Xuan was mentally prepared, his eyelids twitched. The Internet is really not for ordinary people.

    Taking down an infant penguin will directly consume more than half of the cash in his hand, which is too much money.

    However, Cao Xuan did not push down the price. After all, the penguins were short of money, and the penguins could not develop. He wasted money for nothing. Cao Xuan was clear about the importance of this point.

    And in the original time and space, Penguin also sold 40% of the shares at this price, which shows that the cost calculation of Xiao Ma did not cheat him.

    Besides, this is 40% of Penguin's shares, not to mention 18 million, even if it is multiplied ten times, it is also a blood profit.

    However, Cao Xuan still tried to work hard. He invested 20 million, but the shares must account for 45%. At the same time, he is willing to entrust Penguin's daily business to the Pony team.

    Brother Xiaoma and the others hesitated. At the critical moment, Cao Xuan issued a repeated code. He endorsed QQ for three years for free to cooperate with the promotion of QQ.

    Cao Xuan's condition made Xiao Ma and others' eyes shine.

    They had the intention of letting qq bind Cao Xuan's fame before. With Cao Xuan's current popularity, they can greatly spread the influence of qq in a short period of time.

    It's just that Brother Ma and the others have never been ashamed to mention this matter.

    After all, in business, even if Cao Xuan is the major shareholder of Penguin, Penguin is not his own after all, and the cost of endorsement for QQ must be calculated separately.

    With Cao Xuan's current reputation, the annual endorsement fee is at least several million, which is simply not something Penguin can afford.

    But now, Cao Xuan exchanged three years of endorsements + cash for 5% of the shares. I have to say that he scratched the itch of the pony brothers.

    40% is also for sale, and 45% is also for sale. Anyway, there is still a controlling interest. Brother Xiao Ma discussed with Cao Xuan and finally agreed to Cao Xuan's request.

    So far, Cao Xuan (Sunshine Venture Capital) has won 45% of Penguin's shares with 20 million + three-year commercial endorsement, becoming the largest shareholder of Penguin.

    Even if the second round of financing and listing continue to dilute in the future, the remaining shares will still be enough to make Cao Xuan proud.

    Cooperation reached.

    Cao Xuan was very happy, Brother Xiao Ma and others were also happy, and even the employees who brought the penguins were very happy, and their jobs were saved.

    That night, Cao Xuan, the new major shareholder, contributed capital and invited all the employees to dinner in the name of the company.

    In this gathering, Cao Xuan not only showed his face, but also gave all the opportunities to show off to Brother Xiao Ma's team. While making everyone grateful to Brother Xiao Ma, he also let go of his suspense.

    Holding 45% of the first shareholder, he is still a big star with both fame and connections.

    Brother Xiao Ma and the others were also afraid of being turned by Cao Xuan, but now it seems that Cao Xuan has no such intentions.

    Several people really want to have a good relationship with Cao Xuan. With his full support as a major shareholder, everyone can wholeheartedly grow the penguin.

    Everyone thought about building a good relationship with Cao Xuan, but they didn't know that Cao Xuan thought so too.

    qq is not such a great software, at least for now, you can find some teams to make it.

    This is also the reason why many people dismissed Brother Ma looking for investment.

    Therefore, the real value of Penguin is not QQ, but the founding team of Xiao Ma. It is precisely because of the optimization, innovation, and upgrade of Xiao Ma and others that there will be a huge penguin empire in the future.

    If Cao Xuan can establish a deep personal relationship with these penguin cores, it will definitely benefit him endlessly.

    Therefore, Cao Xuan specially stayed in Shenzhen for a few days, while handling various financing contracts and procedures, while actively cultivating a relationship with Xiao Ma.

    Brother Ma and the others thought the same way, and the two hit it off immediately, and the relationship developed by leaps and bounds. Soon, "Brother Ma" and "Old Cao" began to call each other.

      Even Xiao Ma took the initiative to invite Cao Xuan to his house as a guest, but Cao Xuan didn't give in. He inquired about his family situation and came to the door with a gift.

    At this time, the house that Brother Xiao Ma lives in is a residential area. From the perspective of Cao Xuan, who owns several properties, it is indeed an ordinary family

    At Brother Xiao Ma's house, Cao Xuan met Sister-in-law Xiao Ma, but he didn't know if it was the later one. After all, Brother Xiao Ma hid it too tightly, and Cao Xuan couldn't match her name.

    As for the Penguin Princess Ma Manlin, it was a complete rumor.

    According to the online information, the girl was born in 1992. Brother Xiao Ma hadn¡¯t graduated from college at the time, so he had no time to have a daughter. He even posted on Weibo that he wanted to fall in love with Young Master Wang. Even if Brother Xiao Ma had this daughter, he would have to be kicked out  house door.

    That night, the host and guest had a great time.

    Brother Ma, who was a bit over the top after drinking too much, expressed his gratitude to Cao Xuan emotionally, thanking him for saving the penguin and himself.

    Cao Xuan deserved it. After all, without him, there were other people investing behind him. He didn't know what to say, so he simply broke his precept and met Brother Xiao Ma.

    It's all in the wine

    After the ordinary family reunion, Cao Xuan was about to leave Shenzhen City, but Gu Yunkai did not leave, helping to deal with the follow-up investment matters.

    Cao Xuan is only responsible for signing and cooperating with the subsequent endorsement promotion plan formulated by Penguin.

    On September 4th, when Cao Xuan returned to the capital, the money in his pocket shrank by more than half, but his wealth soared countless times.

    If calculated according to the peak market value of Penguin, Cao Xuan's shares can easily make him the richest man in the world.

    Unfortunately, that's not the case.

    Not only is Cao Daguan's "richest man's dream" very far away, but he also has to work hard to make money to regenerate his small coffers.

    The last time I was in Shanghai, and I was in Shenzhen a few days ago, I was so greedy to see the houses all over the place, I had to stock up on a few, and when I go next time, there is also a place to stay.

    Returning to Beijing in September, Cao Xuan is going to participate in the rehearsal of this year's National Day Gala.

    This year marks the 50th anniversary, and the higher-ups attach great importance to it, and have specially organized several evening parties. Cao Xuan, a pop star in the mainland, was hand-picked to attend.

    For Cao Xuan, this is a great honor, and at the same time, it is also the official recognition given to him.

    According to Cao Xuan's knowledge, most of the people participating in this year's gala are members of the national team, and pop singers can be counted on one hand, and all of them are top mainland singers.

    From the late 1990s to the early 2000s, many singers were dubbed gala singers, but in the industry, as many people as they wanted could not make it to the gala.

    Especially for major evening parties, if you can perform on stage, it proves that you are recognized by the authorities, and you are very popular.

    No matter how high your commercial achievements are, even the king of Asia is just a singer, but if you are officially recognized, you are a singing artist, and the level is completely different.  </div&gt
