My 1999

After Jiang Weiguo left, as the protagonist of today's banquet, Xu Liang was quickly surrounded by people.

"Mr. Xu, congratulations. Hongmeng is now the world's number one Internet technology company."

Son Zhengyi's eyes were filled with wonder.

He knew that Hongmeng Company was developing rapidly, but when he actually saw Hongmeng's revenue data, he realized that he had underestimated the young people in front of him.

In his hands, Hongmeng has surpassed Yahoo Japan, which he is proud of, and all Internet companies in the world.

He is all too aware of the difficulty of developing a world-class Internet company based on China and overcoming the heroes of Silicon Valley.

"Mr. Sun is overly praised. Hongmeng still needs SoftBank's help for its future development."

Xu Liang made a pun.

Sun Zhengyi smiled and nodded, "As Hongmeng's shareholders, it is our obligation to contribute to the company's future development."

Although it failed to get the position of the main investor in Hongmeng’s Series B financing, 2% of the shares is not bad.

He couldn't eat any more.

After all, 2% of the shares requires nearly US$1.1 billion. The Nasdaq crisis has just passed, and SoftBank’s capital is far less substantial than Hanhua.

"Mr. Sun is indeed a sincere gentleman, so I would like to say thank you in advance. In addition, now that Hongmeng has sufficient funds, the acquisition of Bandai needs to be accelerated." Xu Liang said with a smile.

"SoftBank now holds 7% of Bandai's shares and has entered the company's board of directors. We will increase our shareholding to 15% before the end of the year. After that, it will be difficult to acquire shares from the secondary market."

Xu Liang smiled and nodded, "Mr. Sun, is it possible for SoftBank to directly acquire Bandai and then sell the company to Hongmeng?"

Sun Zhengyi was stunned for a moment and thought for a moment.

"Bandai's market value is US$3.2 billion. If it is acquired, it will probably exceed US$3.7 billion. SoftBank does not have that much money."

"I can take care of the money thing."

After raising US$10.7 billion, plus US$5 billion in corporate bonds, Hongmeng now has US$15.7 billion in liquidity.

After deducting the US$5.35 billion in development funds handed over to major subsidiaries, there are still more than 10 billion US dollars left in hand. This money is enough to acquire MGM and Bandai.

Looking at the deep eyes of the young man in front of him, Sun Zhengyi thought for a moment.

"I can agree to this condition, but what if the acquisition doesn't succeed?"

"If it fails, Hongmeng will be responsible for all SoftBank's initial expenses. I will still acquire the Bandai shares in your hands according to the previously negotiated terms."

Son Zhengyi showed a smile on his face.

"As a shareholder of Hongmeng, I am very happy to contribute to Hongmeng's development."

Feeling relieved, Xu Liang handed over the wine glass. After the two touched each other, he smiled and said: "I have always believed that Mr. Sun is Hongmeng's best partner. If Hongmeng's companies refinance in the future, SoftBank's name will definitely be there." .”

Xu Liang skillfully dangled a carrot in front of SoftBank’s donkey.

Son Zhengyi still does this.

His attitude instantly became much more enthusiastic.

"I'm really looking forward to this."

Hongmeng Company doesn't seem to have many attractive businesses at present, but he is optimistic about Xu Liang.

Being able to achieve such a big career at such a young age will only make the future better.

If you invest in such a person, he will definitely make a profit without losing anything.

"By the way, in order to communicate in a timely manner on the acquisition of Bandai, Hongmeng will send a few people to join SoftBank's acquisition team. I hope Mr. Sun won't mind."

Son Zhengyi felt something in his heart. This was obviously because he was afraid that he would exaggerate the amount of the acquisition and wanted to keep a close eye on him.

"no problem."

Son Zhengyi agreed immediately.

If it really comes to core issues, he has plenty of means to marginalize a few people.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of twists and turns, just one word.

treacherous!

"You two had a great time chatting. Can you join me?"

Hyde Price walked over with a smile and a wine glass.

"Of course. But I've almost finished chatting with Mr. Xu."

Sun Zhengyi was very sensible and left after apologizing.

Soon John Klein and Tijie Lauder, who were watching not far away, followed.

"Mr. Xu, MGM has replied that they are happy to trade with Hongmeng." Hyde Price said directly.

"What about the price?"

Xu Liang asked after sipping the red wine in his glass.

“In terms of price, the other party’s bottom line is US$2.1 billion in cash and is responsible for all MGM’s debt. However, there are currently Comcast, Sony, Providence, and TPG Investments competing for MGM.

The final purchase price may be higher than we originally expected. "Hyde Price said.

"My bottom line is that cash plus debt does not exceed US$5 billion. If it exceeds, Hongmeng will give up this acquisition." After a pause, "Gentlemen, although Hongmeng really wants to make a difference in the film and television industry, it has also raised a lot of funds. , but please remember, we are not taken advantage of!"

Preuss, Klein, and Tij Lauder exchanged glances.

"Mr. Xu, please rest assured that we are all Hongmeng's investment institutions. Hongmeng's development is in our interests, so we will do our best to help you in the acquisition of MGM." John Klein said sincerely.

"I have always been convinced by the credibility of Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan DA and Citigroup. As you said, we are all shareholders of Hongmeng and we are one family."

Xu Liang smiled.

"Mr. Xu, happy to cooperate."

“A pleasure to work with.”

Ding…….

As the wine glasses clashed, the four of them each took a sip, with friendly smiles on their faces, but there was a lot of calculation behind this smile.

Time passed little by little and the luncheon ended soon.

Xu Liang, who drank a lot, did not go to the company in the afternoon.

When I got home, I drank the hangover soup prepared by my mother and felt much better after a good sleep.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, I came down and saw some noise in the living room.

Jiang Xiaoyang, wearing a white floral tunic dress and long hair shawl, was sitting on the sofa next to her, chatting with her mother.

Xu Meng, who was wearing hot pants next to him, was sitting cross-legged on the sofa with an apple in his hand. He occasionally interjected a few words, making the two of them burst into laughter.

Hearing footsteps, the three of them looked over.

"woke up?"

Wang Lingxiang said with concern.

"You came?"

"I heard from aunt that you are drunk. Come and have a look. ...Are you okay?" Jiang Xiaoyang said.

"You see how virtuous Xiaoyang is. As soon as he heard that you brat was so drunk, he put down his work and ran over." Wang Lingxiang said quickly.

Xu Liang shook his head at Jiang Xiaoyang and sat down on the sofa next to her.

"Your son has such high standards, how can he choose a bad wife?"

"You brat, just have fun. Also, wine is not a good thing, so don't drink it in the future."

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing her son's laziness, Wang Lingxiang felt angry, but she couldn't say much in front of her future daughter-in-law.

After giving the brat a hard look.

"Xiaomeng, I need to see you for something, come with me."

"My brother and Sister Xiaoyang are already an old couple, so there is no need to create space for them to get along."

Wang Lingxiang's face was a little confused when her worries were revealed, "You little girl, you've turned the world upside down, haven't you? Come here."

Seeing the unkind eyes of his old mother, Xu Mengma jumped down from the sofa and handed over the apple in his hand with a smile on his face.

"Dear mom, try this apple. It's so sweet."

Wang Lingxiang, who was so annoyed by her daughter's dog-legged behavior, grabbed her and walked upstairs.

Without his family by his side, Xu Liang had no worries.

His right hand quickly climbed up Jiang Xiaoyang's slender waist.

When he wanted to measure the beauty's bust boldly, the latter hurriedly held him down.

"You're crazy. Auntie and Xiaomeng are still here."

Looking at the pretty face that was barely angry, Xu Liang smiled.

"Didn't you just leave?"

"That won't work either. If my aunt sees me, I will die."

Xu Liang knew that she was thin-skinned, so he did not continue.

"Then let's go to my room?"

Jiang Xiaoyang reached out and pinched him.

"I think about these dirty things all day long."

"Who made my wife so beautiful?"

"Glib tongue."

Although he said this, the smile in his eyes could not be hidden.

"By the way, my dad asked me to tell you that he has a meeting tonight, so you don't have to go today."

"What a pity. I was planning to have a few drinks with my father-in-law and brag about it."

Glancing at him, he said, "A valuation of just over 50 billion US dollars makes you so proud?"

"It's 53.5 billion U.S. dollars, and don't you look at how many companies in the world can surpass Hongmeng in terms of market value?"

Although he was happy for him, Jiang Xiaoyang couldn't see how complacent he looked.

"You, you should be proud when Hongmeng becomes one of the world's top 500 companies."

"In two years at most, Hongmeng will definitely become a Fortune 500 company." Xu Liangxin said.

In 2003, Kawasaki Heavy Industries ranked 500th in the Fortune Global 500, with total revenue of US$10.173 billion, net profit of US$1.06 billion, total assets of US$9.691 billion, and shareholder equity of US$1.472 billion. All indicators were above Hongmeng.

However, Kawasaki Heavy Industries has little room for development, while Hongmeng is thriving.

"Xu Liang, Hongmeng has developed to its current level in just four years. You have indeed created a remarkable achievement. However, the world's Internet industry is turbulent. Thousands of new companies are registered every day, and competition is becoming increasingly fierce.

Behind Hongmeng, there are competitions from Google, Yahoo, Alibaba, Amazon and other companies. Not only should you not be complacent, but you should also calm down and spend the money received from Hongmeng’s financing in a reasonable way to make Hongmeng’s performance better. Previous. "

Jiang Xiaoyang persuaded seriously.

Seeing her serious look, Xu Liang was moved and smiled.

"Don't worry. In my eyes, Hongmeng is just on the right track now, far from sleeping on its merits."

Seeing that he didn't look fake, Jiang Xiaoyang also breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that Xu Liang had heard too many praises these days and would become complacent and get lost in it.

After all, in China's five thousand years of history, many geniuses have been like this.

Things that hurt Zhongyong have never stopped since ancient times.
