My Age of Investment

"I personally have no objection at all to the overseas holding group's offer to acquire Kangsheng Chuangxiang!"

The next day, Zhou Hongyi, wearing a red polo shirt, appeared in the conference room of Kangsheng Chuangxiang Company. When Dai Zhikang asked shareholders for their opinions on selling the company, Zhou Hongyi was the first to take the lead in expressing support.

Xia Jingxing also attended the shareholders' meeting on behalf of Vision Capital. When he glanced at Zhou Hongyi, the other party was also looking at him.

“Mr.

Hearing this, Dai Zhikang lowered his head in embarrassment. Yesterday, Xia Jingxing quoted a purchase price of US$50 million. He basically agreed with this valuation and did not have much objection, because Kangsheng Chuangxiang really does not make money, and it is unlikely to go public. Not much hope.

Now that Zhou Hongyi has directly doubled the purchase price, it will inevitably make Xia Jingxing feel uncomfortable.

However, Xia Jingxing was not that stingy or angry. Instead, he smiled and started arguing with Zhou Hongyi: "If it were a private acquisition by me, it would be enough to make up the whole deal, but Domestic Holdings has so many shareholders, as long as the acquisition price is slightly higher, If I raise it a little higher, some people will think that I am trying to convey benefits."

Zhou Hongyi smiled and said nothing. In fact, he just said it casually. If Mr. Xia was brave enough to agree, he would make a lot of money.

But Mr. Xia is obviously still the same Mr. Xia, he is so stingy that no one can take advantage of him.

"Let's see, if we add US$10 million, US$60 million sounds more auspicious."

Zhou Hongyi's eyes lit up. Did the sun come out in the west today? The iron rooster has also started to shed its feathers?

Xia Jingxing smiled slightly and took in the expressions of Zhou Hongyi, Dai Zhikang and others. Fifty million US dollars was originally just his first round offer, but now it has been raised a little, exceeding everyone's psychological expectations. All shareholders should feel that Satisfied.

Liu Qin, a partner of Morningside Capital, smiled and said: "Morningside has no objection, but we have a small suggestion. We hope that Mr. Xia can change the acquisition method to "cash + stock"."

Seeing Xia Jingxing's eyes towards her, Liu Qin explained: "Morningside Capital has just entered the mainland market and hopes to have a benchmark case."

Xia Jingxing instantly understood that the other party wanted to become a shareholder of Overseas Holdings, and then Morningside Capital could openly claim that it was a "well-known VC" that invested in Overseas Holdings, and could use it to deceive others in subsequent fundraising and investment activities. lp and entrepreneur.

Speaking of Morningside Capital, it should actually be regarded as one of the earliest investment institutions in China. It was established as early as the 1980s. However, it was not founded by mainlanders, but by the Chen brothers of Hong Kong Hang Lung Group. An investment company is somewhat similar to a family office.

However, these two brothers are much stronger than other Hong Kong tycoons who only focus on real estate business. Not only have they made their main businesses such as plazas and theme parks prosperous, they have also invested in Morningside, which is established in the mainland, as the largest LP. Capital, and the name Morningside is also used as their family company brand.

In its previous life, Morningside Capital invested in many unicorn companies such as Kuaishou, Dami, and Lianjia. It can be regarded as a well-known first-line venture capital in the industry, holding several investment cases with returns of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of yuan.

As the largest LP of the organization, the Chen family of Hang Lung Group may earn as much money from investing in mainland technology companies as other real estate giants in Hong Kong have built houses for decades. They are definitely a hidden wealthy family.

After Xia Jingxing pondered for a moment, he said with a smile: "Let's do it this way. The shareholders of Kangsheng Chuangxiang can freely choose between cash or stocks. After discussing it, they can just submit the plan to Overseas Holdings."

All shareholders were very satisfied with the purchase price and transaction method reported by Xia Jingxing, so they quickly voted to approve the sale of the company.

After the meeting, Zhou Hongyi did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she took the initiative to invite Xia Jingxing to have a meal with her at a private restaurant in the alley.

In the private room, after three drinks, Zhou Hongyi, whose face was flushed with alcohol, could no longer hold back and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xia, I'm ready to take action!"

Xia Jingxing pretended not to understand, glanced at the sumptuous delicacies on the table, and said, "Do it? Why do you do it? I have chopsticks, so why don't you use your hands?"

Zhou Hongyi's momentum, which had been brewing for a long time, was immediately shattered by these words. She laughed dumbly and said: "You know, Penguin! They are getting more and more excessive now, and I can't bear it anymore."

"How excessive?"

Xia Jingxing folded his hands and looked like he was all ears.

Zhou Hongyi sighed, raised the cup, raised his neck, drank the wine in one gulp, and began to tell a story.

The general meaning is that Bonima is shameless. He plagiarized 360 without admitting it or saying anything, and he also dressed himself as a victim.

Xia Jingxing quietly acted as a listener and did not express any opinions.

"It's just a matter of copying us. Anyway, in the past few matches, we were not the losers.

What I'm really worried about right now is that Bonima won't give up and continues to play dirty tricks in the dark. "

Xia Jingxing smiled faintly, "So you plan to strike first?"

Zhou Hongyi nodded first, then shook her head, "It has this meaning, but the summary is not comprehensive.

What I really want is for 360 to join forces with Overseas Holdings to form a business alliance to compete with Penguin. "

Xia Jingxing was a little surprised and thought to himself that I didn't even take the initiative to discuss with you how to deal with the penguins, but you were anxious first?

"What do you want to do?" Xia Jingxing asked calmly.

“Penguin only relies on QQ, which has a huge number of users. No matter what new products are launched, QQ is used to promote them.

This was the case with the QQ Doctor and QQ Computer Manager they launched in the past.

I think WeChat can do the same and embed 360 Security Guard directly into WeChat products. As soon as the user logs in to WeChat, 360 Security Guard will automatically start and enter the network security protection state. "

"This is not good. It does not give users the right to choose. I am afraid it will cause resentment among users."

Zhou Hongyi waved her hand, "Mr.

The corners of Xia Jingxing's mouth twitched when he smiled. Hearing your tone, you are quite proud!

“Mr.

If we hadn’t responded in a timely manner, and if QQ Doctor was launched in a hurry and the product was immature, we might have fallen into a ditch that time. "

Zhou Hongyi looked frightened, and it could be seen that he was really afraid of Penguin.

Xia Jingxing thought for a moment and then said: "Let's wait for a while and wait until the number of WeChat users officially exceeds 100 million and we have initially established a firm foothold in the industry. The current product is too immature and we cannot take any risks."

Zhou Hongyi nodded slightly. Xia Jingxing's refusal was not surprising to him. In fact, he didn't even think about success at the first attempt. Xia Jingxing was willing to give a guarantee of "breaking through 100 million users", which already satisfied him.

"I've heard your plan, now do you want to hear my plan?"

Zhou Hongyi smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'm worried that I don't have the guidance of an expert."

Xia Jingxing laughed and said, "My plan is very simple. It is for our two companies to jointly attack and make the penguin run for its life and worry about its head and body."

"How to implement it specifically?" Zhou Hongyi asked.

“Next month at the latest, Penguin will definitely launch new products as a counterattack against WeChat.

The mission of Overseas Holdings is to give this new product a heavy blow and attract most of Penguin's attention.

Then 360 can take the opportunity to get behind Penguin and launch a surprise attack on their security products to avoid future troubles. "

"Okay! This plan is good!"

Zhou Hongyi slammed the table and said excitedly: "Penguin is very ambitious and wants to get involved in every business. We want it to lose everything and achieve nothing in the end."

Xia Jingxing chuckled and thought to himself, of course you think this plan is good, because WeChat is in the front to help you attract firepower, while 360 ​​is hiding behind to take advantage.

But is this "cheap" really that easy to pick up?
