Rebirth 09: Buying a house with a baby UP owner

Zhang Yilin met with "Zhong Meihui" again. It was not known whether he had a prejudice against her or he was angry about her actions and brought up the foreign case to defend her. In short, he was full of sarcasm during the whole process of discussing cooperation.

Yaoyao also witnessed the entire negotiation process, and she was trying so hard to hold back her laughter that she almost burst out laughing.

ByteDance's market value has now reached tens of billions, and it has already been successfully listed. However, the fact that the US company invested 5 billion also caused quite a stir in Beijing.

Although no one knows how Zhang Yilin managed to get so much investment after only being abroad for more than a day, everyone understands that ByteDance may be about to usher in a new wave of momentum.

Zhong Meihui in Beijing doesn't care how much the market value of ByteDance will increase after the move, or how much of a stir it will cause in the stock market. She wants to cash out now.

When discussing the cooperation, Zhang Yilin also told her that the acquisition money could be converted into ByteDance's shares.

But her attitude was very firm, she had to cash out. If she wanted to hold shares, she had to hold them in a way that was easy to cash out. Moreover, the initiative of investment had to be in her own hands, so that she could feel at ease.

Her asking price of 2 billion US dollars was not low. Zhang Yilin refused a few days ago, and her eyes revealed her wishful thinking. But she didn't expect that she would agree so quickly.

She just wants money and has no interest in any shares.

'Zhong Meihui' and Yaoyao each hold 40% of the company's shares. Now that the company has been acquired, the shares they originally agreed upon will still be diluted and become ByteDance's shares.

As for the rest of the company, they were all sent to ByteDance. Yun Shanshan also agreed to go with them after being persuaded by Yaoyao.

If it weren't for this old company, Yun Shanshan would have already decided to leave. Although she knew that Zhong Meihui had already made the move to sell the company, after all, this company was also her hard work.

Even if I change my employer, I may not be as motivated as I am now.

In the past two years, she has been feeling exhausted physically and mentally. It seems that Zhong Meihui is still in charge of the overall situation, but in fact, some of her ideas cannot be scrutinized at all.

Fortunately, with the support of Yaoyao, the second boss, she was able to continue to persevere in some things.

After hearing that Zhong Meihui had already discussed with Zhang Yilin what the future of Love at First Sight would be, Yun Shanshan also wrote a letter of resignation, intending to leave the company on the day of the acquisition.

As for other employees, it is actually a good thing to follow ByteDance.

Unexpectedly, Yaoyao insisted on letting her stay and promised her that when the big boss Zhong Meihui came back, she would not want her to be away from the company.

Yun Shanshan couldn't understand why the boss was reluctant to let go of her as an employee after he had just sold the company and she had tried to persuade him in vain.

"Only if you stay, she and I can feel at ease." Yaoyao looked at Yun Shanshan, their eyes met, and the latter seemed to have caught something. Then her pupils were shocked, and she opened her mouth, but didn't say a word.

Her chest was filled with the feeling of her heart beating, and her head was dizzy. Her thoughts were also in a mess, and she couldn't believe it. She had never thought in that direction.

Several internet celebrities who had been planning to leave with Yun Shanshan were suddenly summoned to the conference room, along with other middle-level employees.

When everyone heard that the company was going to be acquired by ByteDance, most of them felt a little regretful. This also proves that the era of love at first sight will eventually end.

Among them, more than half have been here since the company was founded. Most of them feel a little lonely. Now, it has nothing to do with money, but they are reluctant to leave the place where they have worked hard for many years.

After Yun Shanshan said this, some people finally felt relieved. They had heard that the big boss was going to sell the company, but they all believed that as long as Yun didn't officially announce the news, it was all groundless.

I didn't expect that this day would come so soon. The atmosphere in the entire conference room was dull and depressing, and no one spoke. I didn't know what to say, or maybe I didn't want to say it.

Yun Shanshan could tell from their looks that they were expecting something. What were they expecting? They were expecting this to be a joke.

"However, I will go to ByteDance with everyone. Of course, no one will be forced to go together. As for the issue of share distribution after going to ByteDance..." Yun Shanshan gave everyone a brief explanation based on the contract content provided by Zhang Yilin.

Take the shares held by the middle-level managers and several anchors in Love at First Sight as an example. If they follow the company to ByteDance, their shares can be exchanged for 0.54% of ByteDance's shares.

It seems that the proportion has been diluted, but in fact, those shares are worth 1.2 million US dollars based on the current stock price.

In other words, if they leave ByteDance's company and do not engage in competing industries as agreed, they can get a considerable amount of funds.

Of course, from a longer-term perspective, this money can still appreciate in value.

"How much? How much did you say?" Upon hearing this, a lively internet celebrity wondered if he was having an illusion.

1.2 billion dollars?

Yun Shanshan nodded. This money is still used as a fund to encourage everyone to continue to work in the company. After becoming ByteDance's shares, they will continue to follow the company's development in the future and enhance their monetization capabilities.

Whether to go or stay is entirely up to them.

Apart from them, the shares of other people in the company will be converted into ByteDance shares in accordance with the original agreement.

Under Yaoyao's insistence, everyone else also agreed to the acquisition plan.

The decision was made by Zhong Meihui alone, but in the end everyone benefited. Zhong Meihui selfishly wanted to seek benefits for herself, which indirectly did good things for other employees.

Yaoyao’s shares were converted into 3.6% of ByteDance’s shares, worth 8 million US dollars.

Yun Shanshan's 3% was exchanged for 0.27% of ByteDance's shares, worth 6 million US dollars.

Chen Xiaoli and Kim Hyun-bin's shares in Love at First Sight were exchanged for 0.45% of ByteDance's shares. These shares were also exchanged for shares by Yaoyao himself, rather than cashed out.

Zhong Meihui had suggested that her sister and brother-in-law's shares should also be cashed in. She said that the Jin and Chen families could not rely on these two people for their retirement, and this money could allow their families to live a better life.

Yaoyao said frankly that since the money was left by the couple in the company, they should let it continue to appreciate. When Chen Xiaoli wakes up, she will make her own decision.

'Zhong Meihui' didn't dare to say anything more and could only let it go.

As soon as the news of Love at First Sight being acquired by ByteDance was released, even people in the industry were envious.
