Chapter 889 Tencent Unsheathed!
Chapter 889 Tencent out of its sheath!
Lin Feng looked at the anxious Wu Zhaopu, and was slightly taken aback. There's trouble, what's the trouble?
"Boss, something has happened. Tencent is going to launch two online games, one called "Dungeon and Warriors", which is similar in style to our "The Strongest on Earth", and "Cross Fire" which is similar to our "Counter-Strike ne". , and I heard that Tencent will launch 'Paipai.com' (trading platform) and 'qq Internet TV' at the same time." Wu Zhaopu looked anxious.
Lin Feng frowned. This is not good news. Now "Second World" and Tencent are in the honeymoon period. At this time, Tencent launched two games and two new projects unexpectedly, but it is quite intriguing.
"Are you sure?" Lin Feng's tone became cold unconsciously.
"Boss, I'm sure this is news from within Tencent." Wu Zhaopu nodded.
Wu Zhaopu is 100% sure of the accuracy of this news. That's why he rushed over immediately after receiving the call while he was sleeping.
Lin Feng's face turned cold. Tencent quietly launched two games of the same type as "Second World", and also launched "Paipaiwang" and "Qq Internet TV". It is against oneself. Of course, Lin Feng didn't mean that if he did these projects himself, he would not allow others to do them. Lin Feng is not that overbearing yet, nor is he afraid of competition. The problem is that the other party launched at the same time without any warning, which is a problem. Moreover, I am the second largest individual shareholder of Tencent anyway, so I should have the right to know about this matter. But now, Lin Feng has not received any rumors. This is even more abnormal!
Subconsciously, Lin Feng picked up the phone and called Ma Huateng, chairman of Tencent. However, Ma Huateng's call was still forwarded to the voice mail mailbox, and he couldn't get through. Lin Feng suddenly felt clear in his mind. No wonder Ma Huateng suddenly asked for leave at this time, it seems that there is something wrong.
"By the way, Mr. Wu, do you know who the person in charge of Tencent is now?" Lin Feng grasped the most critical point. The cooperation between the two parties has been very pleasant before, and there has never been such a thing. The sudden appearance of this tit-for-tat situation is obviously related to the temporary person in charge after Ma Huateng left.
"Boss, I only know that this person's surname is Liu, and she is a woman, a representative of the H Group in South Africa." Wu Zhaopu also had very limited information, and he didn't know much about this strange temporary female president.
woman? Lin Feng frowned.
"Well, when will they hold a press conference?" Lin Feng asked after thinking about it.
"boss,
3pm today. "Wu Zhaopu looked at his watch and said.
"Okay, Mr. Wu, you can also help arrange a press conference, and the time will be set at 4 o'clock." Lin Feng ordered.
Wu Zhaopu nodded, knowing that Lin Feng was going to fight back. But yes, if you don’t fight back at this time, if you wait for Tencent’s games and “Paipai.com” to grow, then things will be tricky. After all, the other party has the absolute domestic overlord of "qq", and absolutely cannot sit back and watch it grow.
After waiting for Wu Zhaopu to arrange a press conference, Lin Feng fell into deep thought.
Lin Feng didn't know if Ma Huateng meant this matter. But now that Ma Huateng is not in China and is on vacation abroad, Lin Feng is not sure what Ma Huateng's intentions are for a while. But no matter what Ma Huateng's idea is, what is certain is that Ma Huateng should know about this matter, and maybe his vacation abroad is also related to this matter. However, regardless of whether Ma Huateng knew about this matter or not, since it has been the case, there is only one result.
No matter what Ma Huateng thinks, whether he knows it or not, since he is going on vacation, he will take the opportunity to buy Tencent. —— Lin Feng secretly decided in his heart. For a long time, Lin Feng had a strong desire for Tencent. If it wasn't for Ma Huateng's face and the fact that the two parties have been working happily together, Lin Feng would have launched the acquisition of Tencent long ago. It's just because of affection, Lin Feng has been unable to do it for a long time. After all, people live in this world, and they can't be too ungrateful for profit. Now, it's like saying that God gave Lin Feng a chance.
If you can acquire Tencent, you will own "qq", an instant messaging tool with more than 120 million registered users, and in the future, almost even street sweepers in China will have "qq". defeated.
Then Lin Feng called Abby Cohen.
"Abby, how much cash do I have?" Lin Feng asked.
"Boss, in the past two days, we took advantage of the fact that Li Guobao was busy with the Dow Jones bribery incident and had no time to take care of the Bank of East Asia. We secretly acquired a total of 5% of the shares of the Bank of East Asia. We spent a total of 320 million U.S. dollars, and we still have 4.06 billion U.S. dollars in cash. If you count The 'Second Game' can draw 3 billion US dollars of cash at any time, so the amount available for deployment is 7.06 billion US dollars. Of course, in another month, after Peter integrates the 'Second Bank' and puts its business on track, it will be able to Lending funds through the 'Second Bank'. Conservatively estimated, at least about 20 billion US dollars of funds can be used." Abby Cohen analyzed carefully.
Lin Feng nodded. There are still 7.06 billion US dollars in funds in hand, which is enough for my own use.
"Abby, help me buy the tradable shares of Tencent, buy as much as you want." Lin Feng ordered.
Abby Cohen was taken aback. Tencent's chairman Ma Huateng and Lin Feng have always had a good relationship, and the cooperation between the two parties is also extremely harmonious. I don't know what Lin Feng's move is.
Immediately, Lin Feng briefly told Abby Cohen about the matter, and Abby Cohen nodded repeatedly.
"Boss, this is a good thing in my opinion." Abby Cohen was excited when he heard that.
Although "Second World" currently occupies more than half of the domestic game industry, I have always felt that these games lack a "root". Tencent's 'qq' is the root. After all, games are absolutely not necessary for anyone. Players may or may not play. But as a person, he has to keep in touch with friends, family members, colleagues... If the "Second World" controls Tencent, then for the "Second World", it is like having a root, a firm Grab the "root" of all players.
Even if the "Second World" game loses its novelty for a while in the future, these players will not defect easily. After all, when you turn on the computer and log in to "QQ", what you see is the game of "Second World". From the perspective of a normal person's psychology, he would subconsciously watch it.
"Boss, currently 'Tencent Holdings' has 30% of the outstanding shares in the market, and the stock price is 62 Hong Kong dollars. It is a bit troublesome to acquire Tencent at present, and we must use some means." Abby Cohen transferred Tencent's stock and analyzed it briefly , said with a flying look.
"What way?" Lin Feng asked directly.
"Boss, because of the cooperation with 'Second World', Tencent's performance is booming, and 'qq' has also started to go abroad with the games of 'Second World', and its future is optimistic by all walks of life. Therefore, at present, most of them are sought after, and few Willing to sell. If you want to buy tradable shares in the market, you must let those retail investors sell them. Then you have to release some news. But just as Tencent is preparing to hold a press conference, boss, you just took the opportunity to announce the suspension of cooperation with Tencent Relationship. Later, when Tencent fell, it started to acquire again. But at present, Tencent mainly has four major shareholders, Ma Huateng 11.34%, Boss You 10%, Zhang Zhidong 5.26%, South Africa H Group 35.4%, and others A total of 8% of the shares are in the hands of 10 small shareholders." Abby Cohen analyzed.
To acquire Tencent, 5.26% of the shares held by Zhang Zhidong and a total of 8% of the shares held by 10 small shareholders are the key. If they can acquire a total of 13.26% of the shares of the two, plus 10% of Lin Feng’s shares, they will have 23.26% of the shares. The market only needs to acquire 12.15% to surpass the 35.4% of the shares held by South Africa’s H Group and become Tencent’s largest shareholder. If you want to be on the safe side, Lin Feng can fully control Tencent if he buys 26.75% of the market.
Therefore, Zhang Zhidong and those 10 small shareholders hold a total of 13.26% of the shares in Tencent if they want to control Tencent. And if you want to buy the original shares from them, you must create a harbinger of bleak market prospects, otherwise no one will sell the stocks on the premise that they know that the stocks in their hands are making money.
"Well, I got it, Abby, you are the one to buy the stocks in the market. As for the stocks in Zhang Zhidong's hands, I will take care of it." Lin Feng thought for a while and ordered.
Abby Cohen nodded. Only Lin Feng has the means to acquire the original shares in these people's hands. She can only provide reference opinions. In actual operation, it is far worse for her to come forward than Lin Feng.
Later, when Lin Feng ordered someone to investigate Tencent's current acting president, Tencent held a press conference. Announced the launch of two games, "Dungeon and Warriors" and "Cross Fire", and launched "Paipaiwang" and "qq Internet TV" at the same time.
When Tencent announced the news, all the participating reporters were surprised. Tencent has quietly launched two main games in a row, and it is so similar to the "Second World" game, which is really intriguing. Also, "Paipai.com" and "QQ Internet TV" are even more competitive with "Dingdang.com" under Lin Feng and "Tomato.com" under "Second World".
"Agent Liu, may I ask that Tencent suddenly launched "Dungeon and Fighter" and "Cross Fire", which are similar to "Second World"'s "The Strongest on Earth" and "Counter-Strike ne", does this mean that the cooperation between the two parties has been terminated? I don't know where Chairman Ma is at the moment? Does he agree to do this?" A reporter asked.
Ms. Liu smiled lightly.
"This is just a normal business move of our company. As for the similarity with the games under 'Second World', I can only say that it is a coincidence. Also, although our two companies have always cooperated happily, they are two companies after all, not the same company .For the development of Tencent, I naturally have to make a choice that is beneficial to Tencent. If the "Second World" is not happy, I can't help it. But the two sides can compete! As for Chairman Ma, he is currently on vacation, and this It is the decision of the company's board of directors, and it doesn't matter whether Chairman Ma is here or not." Ms. Liu said.
At the end, Ms. Liu added, "If Mr. Lin thinks that our two games are infringing, he can sue us."
Many reporters were surprised, this was a naked provocation. It takes a lot of courage to challenge a legend in the game industry, the creator of the Chinese dream, and the richest man in the world. However, with Tencent's current status in China, it does have the strength to challenge Lin Feng. Only Tencent has the strength to challenge Lin Feng. If it were any other IT company, they could only bow down to Lin Feng.
A big battle is inevitable! But what many reporters are looking forward to is, how will Lin Feng face the challenge? Facing Tencent, which occupies an absolute dominant position in the instant messaging market, how will Lin Feng fight?
At this time, Lin Feng had just obtained Ms. Liu's information. After reading it, I sneered in my heart, it turned out to be her—Xia Qianhe's mother! No wonder he made these moves out of the blue, so openly provoking himself.
"Mr. Wu, let's go, we are ready to hold a press conference!" Lin Feng stood up.
Since the other party has called out publicly, then he will not back down.
If you want to fight, then fight!
At four o'clock in the afternoon, many reporters rushed to the press conference hall of the "Second World" in Shanghai. Before four o'clock, the press conference hall was already overcrowded. Although the air conditioner in the hall was blowing vigorously, sweat was still running down the faces of many reporters.
An hour ago, Tencent announced the launch of two games in Shenzhen, a new video website, and a trading website, publicly declaring war on Lin Feng. An hour later, Lin Feng held a press conference, the content of which can be imagined, and it must be related to Tencent's press conference.
According to Lin Feng's personality, this press conference is definitely not easy. But what would Lin Feng do? Everyone is looking forward to it!
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Feng and Wu Zhaopu attended the press conference on time.
There was a sudden commotion in the audience.
"Everyone, I think everyone should have guessed the content of today's press conference!" Lin Feng was uncharacteristically today, and did not sit down when he arrived at the press conference.
Many reporters nodded subconsciously.
"About Tencent's launch of "Dungeon and Fighter" and "Cross Fire", although they are similar to our company's "Earth's Strongest" and "Counter-Strike ne", I believe Tencent should not make any Piracy and copyright infringement. I also welcome Tencent to join the big family of the online game market. As for 'Paipai.com' and 'QQ Internet TV', although they conflict with my 'Dingdang.com' and 'Tomato.com', I Welcome too. Welcome to compete!" Lin Feng said with applause.
Many reporters were slightly surprised, not knowing what Lin Feng meant by these words. What exactly did Lin Feng want to say!
