Chapter 314 Chen Yansen: Mr. Ma, he is playing tricks on you! The second drinking game!
Yanjing, Marco Polo Hotel, in the magnificent top-floor banquet hall.
A dozen well-dressed men and women were drinking, clinking glasses and getting red in the face.
After finalizing the cooperation, the smile on Pony Ma's face became even bigger. In one year, Pinbei's valuation increased eleven times.
In other words, the 300 million he invested has now turned into 3.3 billion US dollars.
Chen Yansen put down his glass and leaned over to Ma Ge's ear to ask, "What stage have the financing cooperation between Penguin and Yidong reached?"
Which step? Ma Wenteng's face froze, he sighed slightly, and cursed in a bad tone: "Liu Qiangdong just raised 400 million US dollars, and immediately played a delaying tactic, neither accepting nor rejecting."
You force the handsome guy to pick up trash, of course he won’t be willing to do that!
A month ago, if Liu Qiangdong had not been left with no other options, he probably would not have agreed to Liu Zhiping's request.
After all, the three products QQ group buying, PaiPai and Yixun were pure scams, and Dong bought them with gritted teeth, resulting in a loss of at least over 1 billion US dollars.
Ma Wenteng wanted to clean up Penguin's negative asset projects, while Liu Qiangdong set his sights on the first-level traffic entrances of QQ and WeChat. At first, the two hit it off, but when Liu Qiangdong got the financing, his mentality changed.
Hearing this, Chen Yansen smiled lightly, raised his glass and clinked it with Ma Wenteng's, and said, "Liu Qiangdong believes that the valuation of Dongfang is seriously underestimated. If it doesn't take a year or two, I'm afraid the negotiation process won't be initiated. Mr. Ma, he is playing tricks on you!"
"Underestimate? Hong Kong Island and Lighthouse Securities offered him 6 billion US dollars, and I offered 6.5 billion US dollars. Is he still not satisfied?"
Ma Wenteng's face flushed and he was slightly tipsy. He reached out to light a cigarette for himself and started puffing away.
"There is no problem with the quotation, but Mr. Ma wants to pay with the equity of QQ Group Buying, PaiPai.com and Yixun.com, and is only willing to give 10% in cash. Liu Qiangdong is already short of money. When OTPP appeared, Liu Qiangdong had one more choice, so naturally he didn't want to deal with Penguin anymore." Chen Yansen said with a smile.
"Mr. Chen, last time you said that Pinbei is also willing to take over QQ Group Buying, Paipai.com and Yixun.com, does that still count?"
Ma Wenteng turned his head and stared at Chen Yansen and asked.
"Last time? I was just kidding, Mr. Ma, don't take it seriously." Chen Yansen took a sip of wine and said lightly.
Ma Wenteng wanted to play a balancing strategy and treat Pinbei and Yidong as a cricket fight. How could Chen Yansen not be angry?
After saying this, he glanced at the embarrassment on Xiao Ma's face and couldn't help feeling secretly happy.
Ma Wenteng opened his mouth and wanted to curse, but he forced himself to hold it back. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "When we sign the contract tomorrow, let's change the entry cooperation period of QQ and WeChat to five years."
The original plan was for three years.
But Ma Wenteng was afraid that after Pinbei became too big, it would kick Penguin off the road, so he took the initiative to propose it.
"Okay." Chen Yansen agreed readily.
No matter whether it is three years or five years, you don’t have to spend a penny anyway.
Logically speaking, if you occupy the resources of QQ and WeChat, you should pay some advertising fees.
But Chen Yansen is usually unreasonable!
Penguin provided Pinbei with free first-level traffic entrances to QQ and WeChat in order to obtain Pinbei's B round of financing rights. This requirement was clearly stated in the contract as early as the A round of financing.
After three rounds of drinks, it was already ten o'clock.
Cai Yongjin looked at his watch and stood up to say goodbye. He was the spokesperson for the financial session of this Internet Conference and had to rush to the International Conference Center early tomorrow. As he was old, he naturally could not match the energy of young people.
Yu Heng and Gao Huiyi left soon after.
After just three minutes, only people from Sunlink Capital and Penguin were left in the room.
"Mr. Ma, shall we go home too?" Chen Yansen said.
"Okay, let's talk tomorrow." Ma Wenteng drank three or four glasses of white wine in the evening. Even though he had a good alcohol tolerance, he felt groggy at the moment.
"Boss, the car is ready." At this time, Gao Weilin came over and reminded.
"Is there another game?" Ma Wenteng asked.
"Zhang Chaoyang asked me to go to the bar." Chen Yansen explained simply.
"Let's go together. I also want to meet Charles." Ma Wenteng took the coat handed to him by Liu Zhiping, put it on his arm, and said.
In terms of wealth, Zhang Chaoyang is far inferior to him.
But in terms of industry status in the Internet, Zhang Chaoyang is no worse than him. After all, the other party is known as the first-generation Internet godfather.
Zhang Chaoyang can be regarded as Ma Wenteng's guide. Although times have changed and the big brother has become the younger brother, the two still have a good relationship in private.
Chen Yansen nodded and sent a text message to Lao Zhang to say hello to him in advance.
"OK." Zhang Chaoyang replied quickly.
Afterwards, the group came to the first floor, got into four luxury cars, and sped towards the direction of VICS CLUB.
at the same time.
In the private room on the second floor of VICS CLUB, Zhang Chaoyang, Lei Yijun, Ding Lei and He Xiaopeng had just sat down.
"Take a few bottles of the good wine I have in stock. The labels on the bottles have the words Chen Yansen on them."
Zhang Chaoyang said to the bar manager.
Chen Yansen sent him several boxes of whiskey and red wine. Zhang Chaoyang couldn't finish them all by himself, so he simply stored them in the bar and used them to entertain friends.
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, please wait a moment." The bar manager replied respectfully with a smile.
Although Zhang Chaoyang is not one of the most prominent wealthy people in Yanjing, he is worth at least tens of billions, so the bar manager is naturally particularly attentive to him.
"Ma Wenteng is coming too?" Lei Yijun asked.
"Yes, and Liu Zhiping." Zhang Chaoyang replied casually without caring.
"These three people are probably discussing financing cooperation for KuaiPao or Kuaidi Taxi when they get together. The recent dispute between Qiandu and Senlian Capital over online car-hailing services is giving me a headache!"
Ding Lei leaned back on the sofa, pushed up his glasses, and said with a smile.
"There's no way. Qiandu and Senlian Capital both want to combine travel, group buying, food delivery and electronic navigation maps. The market is huge, but Chen Yansen and Li Yanhong both want to be the boss, so it's difficult to do it."
He Xiaopeng picked up a cup of herbal tea, took a sip and said.
He had dinner with Zhang Chaoyang, Lei Yijun and Ding Lei, and then chatted for more than an hour in the hotel before coming to the bar. From his red cheeks, it can be seen that they drank a lot during the past few nights.
"I don't understand Chen Yansen's operation. It is obvious that the gaming industry is more profitable, but he chose the group buying and online car-hailing markets." Ding Lei shook his head and looked puzzled.
"If Chen Yansen really makes games, Ding Lei will be unhappy again." Lei Yijun joked.
"Haha, that's true. Chen Yansen's project management skills are definitely outstanding among young people. If Senlian Capital enters the game industry, it will be a strong rival to NetEase, Penguin, and Perfect World."
Ding Lei smiled and admitted it frankly.
"How many units of NetEase's Ruiying G1 have been sold?" Lei Yijun suddenly asked.
"2.1 million units." Ding Lei answered truthfully, with a smug look in his eyes.
In less than fifty days after its launch, the average daily sales volume was over 40,000 units, a remarkable sales performance, even surpassing the new models launched by most domestic mobile phone manufacturers.
"Aurora OS is indeed more powerful than MIUI. Xiaomi Mi 1S now has two versions with similar configurations and prices. However, the Xiaomi Mi 1S with Aurora OS has an average daily sales of more than 3,000 units."
Lei Yijun spread his hands and said helplessly.
"It is said that the sales data of Orange mobile phones in the African market has exploded, with total sales exceeding 5 million units." He Xiaopeng interjected.
"So high?" Ding Lei was surprised, and suddenly felt that the sales volume of NetEase mobile phone of 2 million units was not so impressive.
"Chen Yansen started planning for the African market last year. Although Nigeria and Abyssinia are a bit poor, they have a population of 200 to 300 million. Even in the poorest places, there are rich people. 5 million units is nothing. If we can fully tap the market potential, it won't be difficult to sell 30 million units a year."
Zhang Chaoyang said lightly.
After hearing this, Lei Yijun was immediately interested. If Xiaomi mobile phone can successfully open up overseas markets, its revenue and valuation will have an opportunity to grow.
However, the barriers to entry in the European and American mobile phone markets are high, and Orange Technology is eyeing the African market. So where should Xiaomi go? There are not many regions with huge market potential and large population.
Lei Yijun pondered secretly and soon set his sights on India, which had a population of over one billion and amazing potential.
Thinking of this, he decided to send a group of market researchers to Tianzhu to comprehensively collect local market conditions and development data.
"Mr. Zhang, I heard that Orange mobile phones will be launched in Eastern Europe?" Ding Lei asked following Zhang Chaoyang's topic.
Just as Zhang Chaoyang was about to answer, he saw the frosted glass door being pushed open from the outside.
