How Should I Choose?

Mingyang's words can be said to be both a gun and a stick.

Secretly mocking Lao Ma's rejection some time ago.

As a smart man, Lao Ma naturally knew the reason why Mingyang targeted him.

"Director Ming, after the two of us talked some time ago, I went back and thought about it carefully. Just like the Penguin Group's Penguin Video, our Ahri's Kuyou is also a drag on the development of the group. If you are interested, why not Make a new bid?"

Mingyang pursed his lips, "Dong Ma, you have to know that the first person to eat crab will appreciate the sweet taste. If you want a high price, I won't agree to it!"

Lao Ma sighed helplessly in his heart, having to bow his head under the eaves.

If this cool game is not sold, it will cause a major blow to his authority within Ahri!

"Okay, I'll sell it!"

After thinking about it for a few minutes, Lao Ma nodded heavily and said.

"Then let's talk about the price!"

Lao Ma took a deep breath and said:

“In 2016, we at Ali acquired Kuyou, which was already listed, and became the first shareholder. We obtained 100% control of Kuyou through various means. In that year, we at Ali spent a total of nearly 20 billion U.S. dollars. !”

“Today’s cool games are no longer what they used to be. Doubling the price is not an exaggeration!”

Mingyang didn't speak, but waited for Lao Ma's next words. He would definitely not agree to this price. The reason why Penguin Video was originally sold at a low price was naturally because Penguin had not been listed on the market and had been losing money. However, Kuyou was different. It had already found its profit points, and its annual financial reports were also impressive. It's comfortable to watch.

"Director Ming, people in the Ming Dynasty don't tell secrets. Take the 30 billion US dollars!"

Mingyang sneered, stood up and said to Xiao Ruoyan:

"Butler Xiao, see the guests off!"

Xiao Ruoyan walked to Lao Ma, stretched out his hand and said:

"Mr. Ma, please!"

Lao Ma's face changed wildly, "Dr. Ming, we are in business, if you are not satisfied with the price, we can negotiate!"

"The price you gave me, Director Ma, is really too high. Even if we, Tianyao Capital, have abundant cash flow, we can't afford it. It seems we should let Tianyao Capital take control of Ahri and play with the property divestiture." !”

Lao Ma swallowed.

Lao Ma, who has been in business for decades and has faced numerous dangers, has never been so panicked.

"Then Director Ming, tell me the number! As long as the price is announced, I will go back and persuade the shareholders to agree!"

Mingyang stretched out a finger, "100 billion dragon country coins!"

Lao Ma quickly calculated in his mind. According to the exchange rate, 100 billion dragon national currency is more than 10 billion U.S. dollars. This bargaining price is almost cut in half!

But Lao Ma had no choice but to bow his head.

"Okay, Director Ming is waiting for my good news!"

"good!"

Mingyang got up to see the guests off in person this time, and walked all the way outside the main building, watching the old horse drive away.

Xiao Ruoyan asked from the side:

"Master, do you think this old horse can agree?"

Mingyang smiled confidently, "Haha, if he doesn't agree, then the next chairman of the board of directors will definitely agree!"

Xiao Ruoyan nodded thoughtfully.

at the same time.

The amateur guests who were filming a variety show also noticed this.

"Is the person that Director Ming sent to Ah Li's old horse?"

"It looks like hey to me!"

The male amateur Zhou Zhou nodded seriously.

"I am Ahri's, and that is our Ahri's Director Ma. I just don't know what the secret behind coming to see Director Ming is!"

Ma Ao smiled on the side, "Of course there is an inside story. What is the name of the variety show we are filming now?"

The people around immediately spoke out;

"Of course it's a sign of attraction!"

"Which company is that from?"

"Of course Penguin Video belongs to Penguin Group!!"

Li Ling said aloud.

"Haha, how old is that? Although it is still called Penguin Video, it has been acquired by Tianyao Capital. Now Penguin Group only holds 20% of the shares. The person who calls the shots is Tianyao. capital!"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Zhou Zhou said from the side:

"Then you mean that our Director Ma came to see Tianyao's Director Ming to discuss cooperation?"

"With such cooperation, I think your Kuyou franchise may not be able to survive!"

Although Ma Ao is crazy, he still has business vision.

Zhou Zhou frowned and said:

"Isn't this naive? Kuyou was once listed on the market. At that time, the market value reached 20 billion. Now it has to be worth tens of billions or US dollars, right?"

Ma Ao shook his head.

"I really don't know how you became Ahri's department manager. You have such bad taste!"

Ma Ao's words made Zhou Zhou feel a little uncomfortable, and then he asked unhappily;

"Then please explain!"

Ma Ao smiled disdainfully, "Don't forget, your Ahri's current major shareholder is SoftBank, but SoftBank just announced that it was fully acquired by Tianyao Capital!"

"By the way, it's not too much for you to call Mingyang Yicheng the director. He is indeed the director of your Ahri!"

"Wha...what??"

Zhou Zhou was no longer in the mood to record the variety show, so he hurriedly took out his mobile phone and looked at the group.

really.

Ahri's internal group was already in a quarrel.

There is everything in the group.

But the discussion was almost all about Tianyao Capital becoming Ahri’s largest shareholder!

Ali quickly returned to Xingzhou by car. This is the headquarters of Ali Group. In recent years, under the leadership of Ali, it has become the number one e-commerce city.

The development of this city is inseparable from Alima!

Without the help of Alima, this city seems to be stronger in terms of tourism!

After returning to the group, Ah Li immediately held a staff meeting.

The investment from Yahoo, the second largest shareholder, represents the last entry.

"Ma. Are we summoned this time because the first shareholder has been changed?"

Lao Ma nodded.

"Joris, you are right!"

“Oh, I really don’t know if Tianyao Capital is a good thing or a bad thing working with us!”

Lao Ma's ability to secure his position as chairman of the board of directors is inseparable from the support of SoftBank's Masayoshi Son.

As the earliest angel investor, Son not only has the most shares, but also the most voting rights.

The two of them combined even exceeded 80%!

Even though Yahoo holds more than 20% of the shares, it has almost no voting rights!

In other words, now that Tianyao Capital has taken over the power from SoftBank, it can completely influence Ahri’s internal decisions!

Lao Ma sighed and told him about selling Kuyou.

Yahoo's management representatives were uncharacteristically supportive.

When Lao Ma mentioned the valuation of 100 billion, Yahoo representatives still did not object.

This is very strange.

Don’t these foreigners value profit the most?

"Dear Ma. We at Yahoo support all your decisions!"

Lao Ma nodded without looking at the other small shareholders.

"In this case, let's proceed with the sale process immediately! The subordinate culture and entertainment group will fully cooperate!"

"The meeting is dismissed!"
