Chapter 165 Want to get married
On August 1st, two weeks had passed since the strategic equity investment negotiations.
After the three institutions completed the financial audit of Tengda Group, they formally signed the equity investment agreement and announced it to the public.
The four parties finally negotiated and decided that the pre-investment valuation of Tengda Group was US$9 billion, with ICBC Capital leading the investment with US$270 million, followed by BOC Capital and Peking University Investment Fund with US$108 million and US$72 million respectively, for a total investment of US$450 million.
The first round of financing accounted for 5% of the total share capital. After the completion of this round of financing, the equity of Tengda Group changed to:
Song Dynasty: 28.5%
Shanhai Capital: 28.5%
China New Investment: 23.75%
Zhang Yong: 2.85%
Wang Jing: 1.9%
ICBC Capital: 3%
BOC Capital: 1.2%
Peking University Investment Fund: 0.8%
Employee option pool: 9.5%
At the same time, the board of directors of Tengda Group was established, with Song Ci as the chairman of the group, Zhang Yong as the CEO, and Wang Jing as the COO.
There are a total of 7 seats on the board of directors, 5 of which are group management. ICBC Capital and BOC Capital each hold one seat and send representatives to serve as group directors.
After the board of directors was established, although Song Ci had not yet implemented AB shares in this financing, he still held 90% of the voting rights of the group and had absolute control over the company. With the cooperation of Zhang Yong and Wang Jing, he kept Tengda firmly in his hands.
"It's finally over. I've been so busy lately that I didn't even have time to see Shishi off to the airport today!"
In the office, Song Ci slumped on the sofa, looking exhausted.
Although Zhang Yong and Wang Jing on the side also looked tired, their eyes were bright and they were in high spirits. After all, after completing the first round of financing, the shares in their hands were already worth more than ten billion yuan. Anyone who became a billionaire would be excited.
It was rare to see the chairman in such a lazy state. Zhang Zhao couldn't help but smile, and then asked:
"Of this 450 million US dollars, 30% of the down payment will be received before the end of the year. How do you plan to spend this money, Mr. Song?"
Song Ci replied without hesitation: "Just follow the original plan. One part will be used for the online promotion of Weibo next year, and the other part will be used to build a cloud computing and artificial intelligence research center."
With money in the account, the three research centers that he had been dreaming of could finally be officially established.
"Then please decide on the person in charge of Weibo Company as soon as possible, Mr. Song." Wang Jing took the opportunity to ask for instructions. She was in charge of personnel, and the person in charge of the group's fifth subsidiary had not yet been decided.
"Sister Jing, do you have any recommendations?"
"If we do not recruit from outside and select the best candidates from within the group, there are two main candidates: Liu Yan, director of the office, and Jiang Yuwei, vice president of Toutiao."
"Liu Yan, is she okay?" Song Ci asked doubtfully.
Weibo is the next most important project of Tengda Group. Jiang Yuwei is Yang Junfeng's deputy and has been actually responsible for the operation of Toutiao.com. He has rich experience in handling information sharing and communication on the Internet.
As the director of the group office, Liu Yan had never worked in a front-line business department, and he was very skeptical about Liu Yan's business capabilities.
Wang Jing introduced impartially: "Although Director Liu is a female comrade, she is still very capable.
She graduated from the Department of Journalism at Aurora University and later went to the United States to pursue a master's degree in media studies at the University of Pennsylvania. Her major is absolutely suitable for her. "
"This!" Song Ci hesitated a little, and in his heart he still preferred the more experienced Jiang Yuwei, but he could not arbitrarily deny Liu Yan's ability.
"How about this, within a week, have them both submit a Weibo development plan. I'll read it and then make a decision."
"OK."
"Mr. Zhang, notify all departments to get ready. A week later, on August 7, the beginning of autumn, we will hold the group's first half work meeting. I will review the development results of each business department's products on the mobile terminal and review them one by one."
Originally, the half-year work summary meeting should have been held in July, but it was delayed until now due to the investment of three institutions.
"I'll have the office set up right away."
"Let's arrange a few things like this for now. Lao Zhang, Sister Jing, you should also give yourselves a break. You have been busy for so long, you should relax and combine work with rest.
Especially you, Zhang, you are traveling with your children during the summer vacation, and you will be back for a meeting in a week. Although work is important, family cannot be neglected. I plan to go to Hengdian to see Shishi after this busy period. "
Zhang Yong smiled and said, "My family is fine. My child is taking extra classes these days. I was planning to take my annual leave in the second half of the month to take him to Sanya to see the sea.
But Mr. Wang has been very busy lately, staying in the company almost every day, and her boyfriend is very worried. "
The chairman may not have been very clear about the situation when he was in school, but he and Wang Jing met almost every other day and knew that his good partner had a boyfriend.
Song Ci was surprised when she heard this: "Sister Jing has a boyfriend?"
Wang Jing, who was always calm and composed, rarely showed a trace of shyness and joked, "Boss Song, what's the matter? Only you and Shishi are allowed to show affection every day, but I can't have a partner?"
"I'm so happy that you have a partner!" Song Ci calculated that Wang Jing was born in 1978, the year of the horse, and would be 29 years old this year, so it's time for her to get married.
Sitting up straight, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "How do you know each other? Where is the man from? What does he do?"
Usually, it is the subordinates who gossip about himself and Miss Liu, but today Song Ci rarely gossips.
Zhang Yong laughed after hearing these three questions: "Boss Song, are you checking my household registration?"
Wang Jing rolled her eyes, but still introduced calmly: "I met him through a relative during the Chinese New Year. He is a native of Peking. He is a surgeon and works at Peking University First Hospital."
"He's in the same business as my dad!"
"It's still far behind Director Song!"
Wang Jing knew that Song Ci's father was a Yangtze River Scholar and a famous expert in Union Hospital. Compared with him, her boyfriend was just a young and inexperienced person.
"The future is promising! Doctors become more popular as they get older. Sister Jing, please ask the man to come out and meet me some other day. I'll treat you two to a meal."
"Let's skip the meal. I don't want to hurt my boyfriend's self-confidence. I'd rather not see your face."
Wang Jing stared at Song Ci carefully for a few seconds. The boss's face was extremely lethal not only to women, but also to men. Any man who stood with him and had a weak will would be devastated.
"Sister Jing, why are you looking at me like that?" Song Ci felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Wang Jing.
Wang Jing smiled and said, "Nothing, I just found that you are more handsome than a few years ago. Among the people I know, I feel that only the male lead of Titanic, Leonardo DiCaprio, can compare with you in appearance.
But your face is full of oriental charm, which is completely different from Leo's style. It is a perfect match with Shishi's gentle and intellectual personality."
When she first met Song Ci, the boss was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Although he was handsome, he was still a little immature.
Now, several years have passed, Boss Song has graduated from university, is in the prime of his life, his face has fully grown, and he has a gentle bookish air with a hint of maturity, making him more attractive than he was a few years ago.
Zhang Yong nodded at the side. In fact, he was reluctant to sit with Song Ci during meetings. If he got close to the elegant and handsome chairman, he would look old and ugly.
Seeing Wang Jing praising him for being handsome, Song Ci narcissistically joked: "Don't think of hitting on me, I'm already taken!"
"Bah, so conceited!" Wang Jing turned her slightly rosy cheek to the side and took a sip.
"It's just a joke. If you don't want to meet, then forget it. Anyway, I have prepared the gift money and am waiting for you to send out the wedding invitations."
"Of course I will. You are Boss Song, worth hundreds of billions. I won't accept a small red envelope."
"I will definitely give you a generous gift!" Song Ci nodded and promised.
As the first veteran to follow him in starting a business, Wang Jing must give him a generous gift for such an important event in life as marriage.
The three of them chatted for a while, and Song Ci raised his hand to look at the Longines watch on his wrist. It was the one that Liu Shishi gave him on his first Valentine's Day. It was already past ten in the morning, so he guessed that Miss Liu had already arrived at Tangren Film and Television.
He took out his phone and prepared to call his girlfriend, saying, "Lao Zhang, Sister Jing, you guys go and do your work first. We will discuss other matters at the meeting next week."
When the two saw the chairman take out his cell phone, they tactfully stood up and left.
"Hey, Shishi, have you arrived at Tangren Company?"
Zhang Yong closed the door casually, and heard Song Ci's caring words to Liu Shishi. He smiled at Wang Jing beside him and said:
"When will Mr. Wang get married? I can prepare gifts in advance!"
Wang Jing was slightly stunned, then smiled and replied: "It's too early, we are still getting along, how can we be so hasty in such a big matter of marriage."
"Then Mr. Wang, you better hurry up and don't fall behind Mr. Song."
Wang Jing subconsciously glanced at the closed door and said uncertainly, "How old is Mr. Song? He shouldn't get married so early."
She felt that even if Song Ci and Liu Shishi had a good relationship, they would not get married so early. After all, the boss was only 20 years old, which was not even the legal age for marriage.
Zhang Yong smiled mysteriously: "How about we make a bet on when Mr. Song will get married?"
Wang Jing looked at Zhang Yong in confusion and shook her head: "I won't bet with you. You must have some inside information and want to fool me! Did Mr. Song tell you that he was going to get married?"
Zhang Yong did not hide it and said frankly: "He didn't tell me that. It was just that when we were raising funds a few days ago, Mr. Song revealed his idea of transferring a few points of shares to Liu Shishi as a gift. Since the chairman started to consider the issue of the gift, I knew he wanted to get married."
"Mr. Song wants to give shares to Liu Shishi!" Wang Jing was shocked, and then felt jealous. The boss was too good to his childhood sweetheart. Now the Tengda Group is valued at 9 billion US dollars, and 1% of the shares is 90 million US dollars, nearly 700 million yuan.
"Shishi Liu is so lucky to have met a man like Mr. Song since she was a child." Wang Jing sighed. She didn't have such a fate, so she should just work honestly for Boss Song!
Zhang Yong also nodded in agreement. He also thought that this was the case. If it weren't for their childhood sweethearts, Liu Shishi and the chairman would be people from two different worlds. But love is so illogical. It has nothing to do with identity, status, or wealth. It just depends on mutual consent.
While Zhang Yong and Wang Jing were filled with emotion, in the office of the president of Donghai Tangren Film and Television, Liu Shishi's cell phone suddenly rang. She looked at the caller ID and answered it immediately.
She said very gently: "Dear! I have arrived at the company and am having a meeting with Sister K and the others! OK, I'll contact you in the evening."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Shishi saw Cai Yinong, Hu Ge, and Yuan Hong all staring at her, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Yuan Hong gave a thumbs up and said jokingly, "This is still the Liu Shishi I know. You were so gentle in your words just now!"
Liu Shishi always looks heroic when filming on the set, especially when she laughs, she always laughs loudly with great heroism. The gentle feeling just now is rare to see.
Cai Yinong sighed helplessly. She had already seen that the third eldest sister of Tangren was a love-brained person.
The gentle and happy look on Liu Shishi's face when she received the call just now was no different from that of a silly girl who has fallen in love and is willing to risk everything for love.
"Is this your boyfriend calling?"
Liu Shishi nodded: "Yes, Sister K!"
Since everyone in front of her knew that she had a boyfriend, she had nothing to hide and answered the phone calmly.
"Is it the one who said, among the three thousand people in this world, I have three loves?" Hu Ge was very curious.
Hasn’t it been said that Liu Shishi’s boyfriend is a second-generation rich man who spends money like water? He doesn’t seem like the kind of person who can say such meaningful words. Could it be that there was someone else on the other end of the phone just now?
"Yes!" Thinking of this seductive love word, Liu Shishi couldn't help but smile happily.
Cai Yinong held his forehead and sighed, it was hopeless. His own top sister not only changed her QQ signature to this sentence in the past few days, but also promoted it widely in the forum and fan group.
This made fans speculate whether Miss Liu was in love, but we have to admit that these words were really a killer for a young girl like Liu Shishi!
Hu Ge tilted his head slightly and sighed, "I really want to meet him! See what kind of person is the one who captured the heart of our Tangren No. 1 sister."
"Let's wait for a chance." Liu Shishi smiled. She had wanted to introduce Mr. Song to Sister K, Lao Hu and the others before, but now she thinks this is quite interesting and let them dig out the truth themselves.
Cai Yinong had already let his love affair with Liu Shishi run wild, so he coughed and said, “Okay, let’s get down to business.
Lin Yichen's schedule has been coordinated. She will go to Hengdian the day after tomorrow. The filming of The Legend of the Condor Heroes has been delayed for a year, so we must work overtime to catch up. You may have a hard time during this period, so be mentally prepared."
"Don't worry, Sister K. I am the one who is holding everyone back."
Yuan Hong patted his good brother on the shoulder and comforted him: "It's all in the past. Let's look forward."
He found that although Hu Ge had recovered from his injuries, his whole mentality had changed. The high-spirited star he used to be was gone, and he had become timid and very unconfident.
Cai Yinong also knew that Hu Ge had psychological problems, but time was pressing and Tangren could not afford to delay. They had to finish "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" as soon as possible. They could only rely on Hu Ge to adjust his mentality during the filming process.
"Sister K!" Liu Shishi called softly.
"What's wrong?"
"Can you arrange to shoot my drama first? Tengda Culture has a movie coming out at the end of the year, a movie with a female lead, and I want to try to get it, so the schedules can't conflict."
"A movie, especially a movie with a female lead!"
Cai Yinong's eyes were shining. The big brother was in trouble in his career and needed the big sister to step forward. If she didn't want to fall asleep, someone would give her a pillow. In her opinion, with Liu Shishi's connections in Tengda, there was a good chance that she would win the female lead.
"When is Tengda Culture planning to hold open auditions?"
"Mid-October."
"Then the official start of filming will not start until November at least. Three months is enough time for you to finish filming Mu Nianci's scenes."
Cai Yinong calculated the time and found that there would be no problem with the schedule. If Liu Shishi could get this movie, she would have 4 works released next year, which means she would be on the verge of taking off.
Cai Yinong said firmly, "You must get this movie. I'll accompany you to the interview. Shishi, you should also make some connections in advance to be on the safe side!"
