Chapter 1715 Becoming a Father's Heart
Yuanfang's expansion didn't stop with Li Dong's decision to quit.
When Yuanfang Retail is preparing to go public, other industries are also making progress.
In March, after Teng Xun and Yuanfang Retail jointly invested in the acquisition of 10% shares of Yahoo Japan, it made another move.
In late March, Teng Xun spent $120 million to acquire Riot Games.
This is also Teng Xun's first acquisition of a game company in the United States.
In fact, many people in Teng Xun are somewhat incomprehensible to Yuanfang headquarters' decision to acquire Riot Games.
Founded in 2006; Games, so far, is similar to CF's owner, and has only developed one game.
Of course, this refers to the famous part.
The US server version of LOL has been launched, and it is operating fairly well in Europe and the United States. It has not yet officially entered China, and only a small number of people can participate in the internal test.
A long time ago, Li Dong thought that CF and Dungeon could support Teng Xun Games for five years, and in the next five years, Teng Xun Games would have to find another standard-bearer to carry it.
At that time, Li Dong thought about LOL.
Unfortunately, he doesn't remember which company developed the game.
It wasn't until 2008, when Laomei had an internal beta version and was looking for cooperation with domestic companies, that Li Dong knew about Riot.
It's no wonder that Li Dong didn't think about it. In fact, even if he did, the fist was just established back then, and the game development was not perfect.
Li Dong didn't remember this until after 2008.
At that time, the other party had already found Teng Xun to cooperate, which was one of the few cooperations that Li Dong failed to intercept Hu.
When Yuanfang played against Teng Xun, he used CF as his trump card to contain Teng Xun.
It's not that Brother Ma and the others have never thought about finding a substitute, but unfortunately, even in 2009, Teng Xun never thought about it, and they can use LOL instead.
After all, everyone is human and not gods. In the first half of 2009, the US server version was in internal beta testing. Xiao Ma and the others naturally would not have thought that this game would be popular in half the sky in China.
Since taking down Teng Xun,
Li Dong actually mentioned the acquisition of the other party once.
However, the other party asked for a high price, at least at this time, in the eyes of everyone, the price was too high.
A game company that has only developed one game has just started operating in Laomei, and it is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Is it really not worth the money?
Such small game development companies are everywhere in the world.
Even when Yuanfang bought CF's parent company, Yuanfang didn't spend so much money, and the negotiation on the price stalled for a while.
Not long ago, when Li Dongxian was bored, he remembered this matter and reminded him that Teng Xun negotiated again and completed the acquisition of the other party at a price that seemed extremely high at this time.
120 million US dollars, the price is extremely high when it has just entered 10 years.
The other party has not yet officially operated in China, nor has it become popular. At this time, it costs such a big price, at least from Teng Xun's point of view, it is not worth the candle.
But Teng Xun, including Yuanfang, many people also believed in Li Dong's vision.
At least before this, some companies acquired by Yuanfang will make a lot of money in the later stage.
Now, Teng Xun has started to revise the version and let LOL officially go online in China.
As for Li Dong, he simply reminded him that after knowing that the other party had bought it, he didn't care anymore.
At present, with the three heavyweight games of CF, Dungeon, and LOL, at least in the next three to five years, Teng Xun's games will have great competitiveness.
As for the future, that will be in the future, with a foundation and a huge user base in the distance.
In fact, as long as the foundation is solid, Teng Xun can operate even a garbage game.
With QQ, PP, and WeChat in the field of instant messaging, Li Dong believes that he will always maintain a strong competitiveness.
For other things, he can't cover everything. A company with a market value approaching 100 billion US dollars can't be driven by one or two profitable games or products at this time.
What is needed at this time is to enhance the competitiveness of the entire enterprise.
Of course, seeing something that can make money, Li Dong will not let it go. Now that I think of it, let me remind you by the way, it is only a word, and he doesn't mind saying it.
...
While Yuanfang is developing, other companies have not stopped.
After Brother Xiaoma took down Huanju, his target was really on Shanda.
Li Dong had noticed this before.
Before that, Li Dong thought about whether Xiao Ma would want to make a comeback and enter the instant messaging field through YY.
Looking at it now, Brother Xiaoma probably felt that he really couldn't fight Yuanfang, so he chose to give up.
This guy has not only been eyeing Shanda recently, but also acquired some offline entertainment companies.
I heard that a few days ago, Xiao Ma led a group of celebrities to start a great live broadcasting business, YY live broadcasting, and now it has also become very popular.
Of course, Brother Xiaoma's goal is not to live broadcast, but to build China's entertainment empire just like Chen Tianqiao.
Online games, live broadcasts, offline entertainment companies, and physical playgrounds are all part of his plan.
Compared with Dongxing, which mainly deals in traditional media and offline entertainment, Xiao Ma is building a combination of online and offline entertainment empire.
This plan is also Shanda's long-standing plan.
It's a pity, compared to Chen Tianqiao, an idealist, Xiao Ma obviously has more strength and confidence.
Most of the time, Chen Tianqiao planned it out, and then left it alone.
Brother Xiaoma, on the other hand, does it first and then talks. Once the plan is made, he will act immediately.
It can be seen from his live broadcast with a lot of celebrities and frantic advertisements that this guy is more reliable.
And recently, this guy has even suppressed Shanda in the game business, and Li Dong knew at a glance that he had Shanda's idea.
...
And Lao Ma, after driving away Yahoo, is now silently accumulating strength.
Li Dong didn't ask in detail who supported him. In fact, he had already guessed it before.
Some people support it, and Lao Ma also has a lot of confidence. Recently, he is negotiating acquisitions with some companies at home and abroad, mainly with Internet service companies.
Including One Touch, Auctiva...
This guy even came up with the idea of Yuanfang, preparing to provide Internet services for Yuanfang Mall, including AliExpress, which was just acquired by Yuanfang.
According to Lao Ma's words, Yuanfang's strength in these Internet services is still relatively weak. With Ali's support, it can save more energy and funds to develop e-commerce business.
Regarding Lao Ma's request for cooperation, Li Dong didn't even bother to answer him except for the word "hehe".
This guy has a good idea, Yuanfang is not strong in these businesses, but at this moment Ali may not be much stronger than Yuanfang.
At this time, for the sake of convenience, if you really want to let the other party enter the distant place, with Lao Ma's cunning nature, it will not take many years for Ali to become the father of the distant place.
...
No one is idle, everyone is in action.
Even Xu Shengzhe is struggling with his dream.
The competition among Longhua, Vanke, and Baoneng has intensified.
Xu Shengzhe almost sold out everything he could, ruining his entire family and desperately trying his best.
Since the Vanke battle that started last year, the shareholding has become more concentrated.
Today, China Resources and Vanke, with a slight lead, barely maintain their status as major shareholders, holding about 28% of the shares.
The Baoneng Department originally wanted to pick up a bargain, but suddenly killed Longhua, but fell behind in the later stage, and currently holds 22% of the shares.
On the contrary, it is Longhua, who currently holds 24% of the shares under the condition that Xu Shengzhe does not care about the price.
At this time, the secondary market is indisputable.
Today, the three parties are constantly testing and contacting.
At this time, any two companies will be able to win the position of major shareholder by joining forces. The dominant power is no longer in the hands of the secondary market and other small shareholders. The key lies in these three companies.
Longhua and Huarun are now fighting for the support of the Baoneng Department.
The biggest purpose of the Baoneng Department is to make money, and the other party is currently unable to control a number one real estate company.
The only one who really wants to seize the controlling stake in Vanke is Longhua.
So even though Lao Wang was extremely dissatisfied with Baoneng before, he kept negotiating with the Baoneng department at this time, hoping to gain the support of the other party and drive away Longhua.
Compared with the Baoneng series, Long Huacai seriously wants to take control of the opponent, including driving away the original team.
...
East Park.
Li Dong hasn't seen Xu Shengzhe for a while.
When I saw him again, this guy's footsteps were sloppy, his eye circles were black, and those who didn't know thought he was on drugs.
In fact, this guy hasn't had a good night's sleep for many days!
The acquisition of 24% of Vanke's shares cost Longhua nearly 35 billion yuan!
For this reason, Longhua increased its debt by nearly 30 billion in a very short period of time.
And these debts are short-term.
A short period of half a year, a long period of one year.
Once the deadline is reached, Longhua has not yet won Vanke, and what awaits Longhua may be a fatal blow.
Seeing his appearance, Li Dong couldn't help shaking his head, beckoning him to sit on the lawn outside the door, and said helplessly: "I told you a long time ago, you can't become fat in one sitting.
If you insist on it, it will be fine now, it will cost tens of billions, and the result is not over yet.
And it seems that the other party is very likely to fight you to the death.
Or just enter the arena with the momentum of thunder from the beginning, scaring them directly.
Now this kind of refueling tactic, until now, it is impossible for the opponent not to fight to the death.
35 billion yuan, half of Longhua was thrown into it.
Now, how are you going to end it? "
Xu Shengzhe's face was exhausted, and he let out a sigh of relief: "Now, the only hope is to get the support of the Baoneng Department.
Once I get the support of Baoneng, I can quickly enter Vanke and reorganize the board of directors.
At this time, even Vanke's additional issuance and suspension of trading are of little use.
Baoneng and I currently hold 46% of the shares together, nearly half of the shares.
But……"
As Xu Shengzhe said, he looked at Li Dongdao with some sadness: "But in order to help you gain momentum, we bullied each other very badly. Dongzi, this matter is rooted for you. You can't ignore it, right?"
When Yuanfang acquired Guomei, Chaoshan businessmen came to support Guomei, and Baoneng was the leader.
At that time, Xu Shengzhe was in high spirits, supported by Li Dong in front, and supported by Jiangbei business circles in the back, with a big wave of his hand, fuck it!
That feeling, needless to say at the time, just one word, cool!
As soon as Baoneng made a move, he was humiliated by the Jiangbei business community. Under pressure, he quickly chose to retreat.
That was also the first time that Baoneng had emerged. As soon as he emerged, he was shunned by the Jiangbei business community, making him ashamed.
It's all right now, the opponent who hit him didn't dare to say a word, but now Longhua desperately hopes that the opponent will support him.
But businessmen are also human beings, although it is normal to be shameless for the sake of profit.
However, being shameless does not mean that there is no bias.
On the one hand, he is a fellow villager, and on the other hand, the guy who bullied him at the beginning. If the price is right, there is no doubt about who to choose.
As for the higher price tag, Xu Shengzhe really can't afford it now.
Up to now, he is also at the end of his life. If he drags on, Longhua himself will be in big trouble.
Li Dong rolled his eyes and said, "When you bully others, don't you feel good about yourself?
Who knew that you were going to cooperate with the other party now, and now you are blaming me. "
"Dongzi, you can't just leave him alone, can you?" Xu Shengzhe's face was full of resentment, and at this point, he had no choice.
Li Dong said helplessly: "Then tell me, how can I help you at this time? I've said it all, I don't get involved in the real estate business.
You didn't see that even Dongyu was abolished. "
"It is precisely because Dongyu was abolished that I made this statement." Xu Shengzhe said hastily: "Yuanfang also expressed his position, and everyone has seen it.
At this time, you don’t need to support me from afar, you support your friends personally, everyone has nothing to say, right? "
Li Dong tapped on the chair lightly, and after a while he said, "What do you want me to do?"
"Ahem... Shen Qian's investment company, I heard that there is still a lot of funds, so I will borrow some money first, and then I will buy some shares.
In addition, how about you come forward and help me make an appointment with the other party?
Ma De, I can't help it. Lao Yao doesn't give face. I approached him a few times, but he excused me.
You are different, if you come forward, he dare not refuse.
In the Huaxia business world, who doesn't give you face now? "
Li Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it enough to be a middleman?"
Xu Shengzhe said coyly: "Help people to the end, and help me suppress the battle by the way, the condition is that I am confident that there is not much difference between Huarun's offer.
The key is that the other party feels that Longhua is not as confident as Huarun.
Of course, this is also true.
It is undeniable that Hua Run is stronger than Long Hua.
It is obviously different to help Huarun or Longhua.
But if you are willing to come forward to help me suppress the battle, it will be completely different.
Really, the main thing is to bridge the gap between me and Huarun. If the background is similar, I will talk about other things by myself, and you can be the background wall. "
Li Dong rolled his eyes and said, "In this way, didn't I offend Huarun and Vanke to death?"
What Xu Shengzhe said was simple, but when he came forward, he obviously offended those two families.
Xu Shengzhe said with a dry smile: "Do you still care about this? Besides, who do you have to be afraid of, Li Dong, in Huaxia?
You have already given them face if you don't confront them directly, and now they hold grudges as a background wall, that is not giving you face.
Dongzi, this matter is a piece of cake for you..."
Li Dong knew that this guy was going to run out of water, so he didn't care what method he used, so he used it first.
But this matter, Li Dong is really difficult to agree.
However, if Longhua refused to help, I'm afraid it's really not good, and the next competition may not be the opponent's opponent.
He has known Xu Shengzhe for many years, and he is also one of the few friends. Longhua even has 20% of his shares.
After thinking about it for a while, when Xu Shengzhe was a little anxious, Li Dong suddenly said: "I really want to eat Vanke, but the money is not the key.
In fact, you yourself understand this point, and you have to gain something to lose.
You want Longhua to grow and become the number one in the field, how can it be possible without paying a little?
Even if I come forward to help you, I can only say that it is possible and hopeful, and it may not be possible to win.
What you're really looking for shouldn't be me..."
Xu Shengzhe struggled a little, he knew what Li Dong meant.
Li Dong patted him on the shoulder, shook his head and said, "Why don't you just give up now, give up at this time, in order to let you go, Huarun and Vanke may not treat you badly.
Otherwise, you weigh the pros and cons and decide whether to continue. "
Xu Shengzhe took a deep breath and said after a while, "Then who do you think is more suitable?"
Li Dong smiled and said: "There are not many companies with the strength to compete with Huarun, and the local ones are naturally more suitable, but there are not too many central and state-owned enterprises with strong local strength in Jiangbei, and the choices are too narrow.
Of course, it doesn't matter if he is slightly weaker than Huarun, the main thing is to let Longhua's name be justified and reduce Vanke's rejection.
Who to choose as Longhua's strategic partner is up to you, not me.
What's more, it doesn't have to be limited to Jiangbei. Longhua wants to open up the national market. In fact, it is better to find a strong enterprise with a national foundation to cooperate with.
Now that real estate is picking up, many large state-owned enterprises and central enterprises want to enter the real estate field, but the difficulty is not small.
Now that Longhua has taken the initiative to hand over the ladder, someone will be willing to cooperate with you.
As long as the other party can get rid of Hua Run's threat, I can come forward to help you suppress it from Baoneng! "
At this time, Li Dong was still extremely confident, and he said brightly: "For state-owned enterprises, it is not convenient for me and it is not suitable for me to come forward to oppress them.
But Bao Neng, to put it bluntly, I really didn't pay attention to it!
The main business of the other party is still concentrated in the Shenzhen market, and the other party is doing logistics, real estate, and e-commerce.
Don't say anything else, don't sell my face, and fuck him next!
At the beginning, he put a horizontal bar on Guomei, I can remember this account.
I didn't care about him at the time, but it doesn't mean I forgot about it, and almost ruined my plan to buy Guomei.
As long as you block Huarun, I will help you convince Baoneng.
He, Lao Yao, doesn't give me face. Anyway, he is idle anyway. Brother Dong will help you get rid of him! "
When Li Dong said this, Xu Shengzhe was extremely satisfied.
But when "Brother Dong" came out later, he felt awkward again.
Uncle, this guy is rampant now, whoever is older and who is younger, don't you have any points in your heart?
But now that people are under the roof, Xu Shengzhe has nothing but helplessness.
Li Dong has crazy capital, if he really wants to threaten Baoneng, the other party will not be able to do it unless they get angry.
If Xu Shengzhe said this, others might think that he has lost his mind.
Comparing people to people makes people mad.
I didn't have time to compete with Li Dong, and finally persuaded Li Dong to help, Xu Shengzhe quickly gritted his teeth and said: "I have no other way to go now, and the matter of finding state-owned enterprises to invest in shares is left to me.
For Baoneng, it depends on you! "
With the participation of state-owned enterprises, the oppression and advantages brought by Huarun's state-owned enterprises will disappear.
If Li Dong convinces Baoneng again, then Vanke will have no choice but to admit it or not.
Although it was a little different from his original plan, Xu Shengzhe couldn't care less at this time.
If it drags on any longer, Longhua will really be dragged down.
...
Xu Shengzhe left quickly, Li Dong watched him leave in a hurry and couldn't help shaking his head.
This guy may succeed in the future, but the restrictions will be great after he can.
This time the introduction of state-owned enterprises to join, the other party lion is certain.
In the next few years, in the golden period of real estate enterprises, Longhua was originally very independent, and the gap with Vanke will not be too big in the future.
But Xu Shengzhe insisted on making such a choice, and Li Dong couldn't help it.
Of course, not necessarily a bad thing.
From Li Dong's point of view, Xu Shengzhe has always been unreliable. Now it may be a good thing to find a mother-in-law on top of him.
At least in terms of stability and security, it is much better than it is now.
This guy probably knew it himself, so he probably didn't want to find a backer at this time.
That's good, Li Dong is actually much more relaxed.
Otherwise, one day Longhua really collapsed, Li Dong might not be able to sit back and watch Longhua collapse.
Although he kept saying that Xu Shengzhe's life and death had nothing to do with him, but over the years, he didn't have many allies in his career, and Hu Xiaorui was just playing tricks.
This guy was the one who had been on his side all these years.
Instead of watching him die in the future, Li Dong doesn't have to worry too much about finding a parent to take care of him now.
Thinking of this, Li Dong sighed again, wondering if that guy Old Xu understood his painstaking efforts, he didn't become his father, but he made him want to be a father, is it easy?
