651. A piece of scenery on the dangerous peak?

When going to the United States to go public for financing, first of all, not to mention the US Monetary Administration, it will first remove a few layers of skin for you, and then the group of financial vultures on Wall Street will definitely not make you feel better. If they don’t lose all their money and eat their mouths full of oil, they will not be willing to do so.

Listing in Xiangjiang is no matter what, this is our own territory, and at least we will take some care of it, but it is not that simple to list in Xiangjiang.

First of all, the Financial Administration of Xiangjiang does not allow it. Wang Teng's management of the company in terms of A-shares is to put it bluntly, which is a management model similar to Google.

Common stocks are sold to the outside world, while the company's current senior management masters are decision-making stocks that can determine the future direction of the company. Such a dual-track system can be played smoothly in Americans, but in Xiangjiang, managers who are used to licking Americans and British assholes, how could they agree with Wang Teng's proposal?

After all, there are countless people now carrying money bags and preparing to enter the board of directors of the Forty Thieves. As long as you spend enough money and get enough stocks, won’t you easily enter the board of directors of the company and participate in the future company’s operations?

If you, Wang Teng, are disobedient, the representatives of these Wall Street tycoons can easily connect them together and do a few dilution financings, and then drive you, the founder, out of the company.

This is exactly what Wang Teng is most worried about and reluctant to see. Although he also hopes that the company will go public, he does not want to lose his ability to control the company because of the dilution of shares.

After all, this company was developed by him one by one. To be honest, those guys would just hold some useless waste paper and squeeze into the company's decision-making level and point fingers at the company's future development. This is definitely not what he hopes to see.

But the situation at that time was no longer what he could master. There were financial vultures from all over the world outside, constantly putting pressure on their forty thieves, and there was Yahoo, a shit-stick inside, constantly stirring up the wind and rain. At that time, Wang Teng was in a dilemma for a long time.

But Wang Teng doesn't know what will happen ten years later, and Li Yifan knows quite well about these things.

So now Yahoo looks very beautiful, with a financing of 500 million US dollars, it is a dessert, but if you really eat it, the seemingly beautiful dessert will turn into a dose of poison in ten years!

Moreover, the current top 40 thieves are different from the top 40 thieves in their previous life. They have only been in the past one year, and Alipay is not part of this company, so Americans are willing to spend 500 million US dollars, and it seems that the cash is only 360 million US dollars. Their bullshit Yahoo China is going to cost 140 million US dollars!

This is a big pit, a big pit that you must never jump into!

Li Yifan felt a headache. He knew that Yahoo's proposal looked very beautiful, but now only he, the one who has experienced it, would know that this is a bait. If it swallowed, it would be fine in the next ten years, but once the company waits for the day of its listing, it would be hard to say.

And the most important point is that the current president of Yahoo Company is still Yang Zhiyuan, but after a few years, it will be replaced by another American devil. He still remembers it very clearly. When he was reading Wang Teng's biography in his previous life, he once said that after Yahoo Company changed its president, Wang Teng went to the United States to meet the new Yahoo CEO in person, hoping to provide some new ideas for the cooperation between the two parties.

Unfortunately, the American who was used to being arrogant did not give Wang Teng a good look and even regarded him as a small character. This made Wang Teng furious. Since then, the relationship between him and Yahoo has quickly deteriorated.

Later, during the global financial crisis caused by Americans, he took several moves and redeemed a lot of Alipay shares controlled by Americans, which was considered a breath.

But Americans also saw the benefits of the Forty Thieves. They kept keeping a close eye on the shares of the Forty Thieves website, but they didn't let go.

This also led to an internal strife in the later issue of the forty thieves going public.

"These Americans have a lot of appetite for 500 million US dollars!"

Li Yifan sneered, then turned his head and asked Wang Teng again: "What do the other party want?"

"Thirty-five percent of the voting equity and forty percent of the economic interest distribution rights."

Wang Teng did not hide it. After all, Li Yifan is his good friend and a good business partner.

"That's all?"

"Oh, by the way, they also demanded to occupy four seats on the board."

"Haha, my appetite is indeed quite good!"

Li Yifan sneered again, and when Wang Teng saw Li Yifan's attitude, his heart suddenly stumbled. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he still hoped to obtain Yahoo's financing.

To be honest, although Yahoo has begun to show its decline in the United States, it has been challenged by many emerging electronic portals, especially the newly emerged Google, which has had a particularly serious impact on Yahoo. Now Yahoo has had to invite its original founder Yang Zhiyuan back, hoping to regain its strength and fight against Google under his leadership.

Although Yahoo has faced challenges and performed poorly in the United States, its business performance is still quite good internationally, especially in the English-speaking countries circle. They are still well-deserved no.1 portals in many countries, such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and other places. They make a lot of money every year.

However, in the Asian market, Yahoo's performance can only be described as average. In Japan, their performance is a bit unacceptable. If it weren't for the cooperation with SoftBank, they would have been defeated by ebay.

After entering the Chinese market in 1999, it has been suppressed by three local websites in China. It can be said that in recent years, it has been losing money and gaining publicity. If it weren't for their great business at the US headquarters, this website would have announced its collapse long ago.

However, even though it performs poorly in the Chinese market, Yahoo's current position in the Internet industry is still a giant that cannot be easily shaken. Compared with Yahoo, the top 40 thieves companies are just a small lotus seedling that has only exposed its sharp corners.

Others’ annual gross profit can reach billions or even tens of billions of dollars, but their own side has been less than 100 million dollars in total.

So in the face of the invitation to financing cooperation proposed by Yahoo, which is in full swing, it is absolutely impossible to say that Wang Teng is not moved, let alone now, how can the conditions proposed by Yahoo be cost-effective no matter how you look at it?

Thirty-five percent of the voting equity and forty percent of the economic benefits, according to the current size of one's own company, if they are willing to spend 500 million US dollars, they will definitely take a big advantage.

What's more, they are willing to attach their Yahoo China. Although Americans cannot run this website well, it wouldn't be easy for Wang Teng, who grew up locally, to play with such a website?

The most important thing is that he had long wanted to get involved in the business of this portal website, not for anything else, but for the fuel tank and the search function.

These two items are the tools to promote his 40 thieves, bargaining companies, and Alipay!

So when you say that this deal is placed in front of him, Wang Teng, can he be moved?

However, now his best partner, Li Yifan, Xiao Li, seems to not agree with this cooperation, which makes Wang Teng feel heartbroken.

"Xiao Li, do you don't agree with this deal?"

Wang Teng's tone was a little anxious, and he was afraid that Li Yifan would refuse the American's proposal in a blunt manner.

In fact, the reason why Yahoo was able to give such generous conditions this time was because he had a passionate relationship with Yahoo's current president Yang Zhiyuan.

In 1998, Yang Zhiyuan, who stepped down as Yahoo president, came to China like a wild crane. At that time, Wang Teng was the tour guide for him. The two had traveled to famous mountains and rivers in China together and formed a deep friendship. It is said that Yang Zhiyuan wanted Wang Teng to take on the important position of Yahoo China president at that time.

But later, considering that I had already stepped down and if I were involved in the company's operations, it would cause gossip, and the matter was not taken off in the end.

But now in a bad situation, he has come out again. Because of his understanding of Wang Teng, he knows this guy's ability, and his long-term competition with eBay in e-commerce, he has a very good understanding of e-commerce, so he is very optimistic about the largest e-commerce website in China that Wang Teng is now running. Moreover, he values ​​not only the development of e-commerce in China, but also the potential for China's future economic development, so he made a quick decision and gave Wang Teng such generous conditions.

Now Wang Teng is very moved by the olive branch that Yang Zhiyuan extends, but he is a little worried that Li Yifan will disagree because Li Yifan has a strong position in his heart.

"Brother Wang, is the company short of money now?"

Li Yifan's question made Wang Teng feel sad. It seemed that this was a prelude to disagreement. So how could we convince this kid? Forget it, let's just tell him the truth.

"Yes, the company is short of money now, and it can even be said that it has reached a point where it is not the usual lack of money."

Wang Teng's words surprised Li Yifan. How could this happen? Some time ago, Wang Teng told himself on the phone that the daily transaction volume of the forty thieves websites has exceeded one million yuan. It is said that it has developed well, so why is it short of money?
