Chapter 77 Tea From Above

Mergers and acquisitions are different. As the acquirer, TT Technology is still there, but once the merger is completed, TT Technology will be gone.

As a listed company, the merger process is naturally very complicated. Although MC was very shocked when he received this task, he could only do it. After all, he was just a senior employee.

TT was founded by Zhang Da and it was his hard work. After the merger, the name of TT Technology will become history.

The company merged with Tongcao Technology will have a new name, a new legal person, and a new organizational structure...

This decision is undoubtedly very difficult for Zhang Da. But instead of watching TT Technology decline bit by bit, why not get a new life in another way?

TT now has 600 million monthly active users, and PC monthly active users usually give a value of 30 to 40 US dollars per head. In other words, the market value of TT is between 18 billion US dollars and 24 billion US dollars based on the head.

But because TT Technology's terminal game business is not bad and has high net profit, the market gave it a higher market value earlier.

However, the battle with the giant lion has brought down the share price of TT Technology to 25 billion US dollars, and because the number of users of WeChat has not been as expected. So the current market value has been hovering between 21 billion and 22 billion US dollars.

Youxin now has 340 million users. The proportion of monthly active users of mobile Internet is higher than that of PC. It is conservatively estimated that 340 million users can have about 250 million monthly active users.

And because mobile phones are different from PCs, they can interact with users anytime and anywhere. Therefore, the value given by mobile users is higher than that of PC users, and each monthly active user is given 50 US dollars.

In this way, Youxin's valuation is about 12.5 billion US dollars. This is only based on the current 340 million users. According to the social network effect, Youxin's users will reach 500 million in less than two months.

In a few days, although Tongcao has not been listed, not counting its other businesses, the market value of Youxin alone will be able to surpass TT Technology this year.

By then, it will not be a merger, but TT Technology acquired by Tongcao. At that time, whether Tongcao would be interested in TT was still a question.

After Zhang Da thought about it clearly, he made this decision without hesitation.

While TT still has the largest number of PC users, while TT can still attract mainstream game developers with user traffic, while TT still has a large number of mature product managers and excellent talents, while it still has a little appeal and bargaining chips.

Selling yourself should be done when you still have value. Otherwise, no one will want it even if it is discounted.

On August 3, the stock market opened. As expected, TT Technology plummeted.

Within five trading days, the market value of TT Technology fell from 21 billion US dollars to 17 billion US dollars, and there was no sign of stopping the decline. Investors from all sides sold off and ran away.

Everyone believed that TT Technology was no longer worth looking forward to in the mobile Internet. As the saying goes, the general trend has gone.

Investors who wanted to invest in Tongcao Technology simply swarmed in. Not only were the landlines in the system about to be blown up, but Cao Shen's mobile phone was muted and the screen was always on.

Mr. Cao could only entrust the system and send a group text message, which said: Thank you for your kindness, but we will not accept investment for the time being.

The problem of the data center has been solved, but Mr. Cao is facing another serious problem at the moment.

People!

He doesn't have any R&D, while his peer TT Technology has tens of thousands of people. Even if he compares it with the team when WeChat was first founded, he has to find 11 people.

There is also a data center, which at least has to have a dozen people. But this is not a data center at all. When people come, they will know that he is not doing his job at all, but mining!

There is also APP outsourcing production, which is a job that requires a lot of people. Fortunately, the business volume in this area is not large now, so it should not be too eye-catching.

It is not difficult to find people. You can't hire people even if you have money. The key is, when these people come, how can you arrange work for them so as not to expose the existence of the system?

The reason why Cao Shen responded to the doubts of his competitors in a high-profile manner, took people to visit the data center with great fanfare, and even pulled Zhang Fei to speak was not to show off, and he was not a person who was good at showing off.

The purpose was to deter those who questioned him and potential doubters. Let them be quiet first and give themselves enough time to solve the problems that are not convenient to see the light.

Worry, the worry of having a golden finger, it is really something that ordinary people can't understand, alas!

Mr. Cao was worrying when he received a call from MC. When he heard that TT Technology wanted to merge, he almost threw his phone away.

Merge! Is he the person who can merge!

Decisive rejection! Rejection without leaving any room for maneuver!

MC was simply confused. Think of me, TT Technology, an industry giant, the boss of PC instant messaging, and the leader of the game industry. You rejected it in seconds without even thinking about it. Where can I put my face! Where can I put the plan I worked on for so many days! More importantly, how can I explain it to my boss!

When you refuse, can you at least give a reason!

So MC couldn't bear it anymore, and like a lovelorn person who had just been dumped, he made a series of desperate calls to Cao Shen, insisting on an answer.

Cao Shen was already annoyed, so he decisively blocked this entangled maniac!

MC, who had been a senior executive of several multinational companies, CEO of TT Company, and a top white-collar worker, was blocked for the first time in his life! Blocked! MC closed his eyes tightly, it was unbelievable! How could he tolerate this? Absolutely not!

I, MC, came to you humbly and offered you this good condition that fell from the sky, but you refused it without even listening. I am not MC if I don't kill you! Oh, no, if I could kill you, I would have killed you long ago. How can I let you jump around so happily now!

If I can't kill you, I can always make things difficult for you, put a stumbling block on you, and suppress you, so that we can still have the upper hand in the merger negotiations!

Hahaha, I am so smart. When I get things done, Mr. Zhang will definitely praise me!

Two days later, Cao Shen received a call from Director Zhang. Oh, I can't call him Director Zhang anymore. Zhang Fei had just been promoted and went to a certain department, a key department.

This time, Zhang Fei's tone on the phone was very serious, and asked Cao Shen to come to the department for a cup of tea.

Cao Shen felt something was wrong when he heard it. But there were some things that Zhang Fei couldn't say clearly on the phone. He just hinted that Cao Shen had been reported, and the other party was very powerful.

"TT Technology?" He rejected MC's merger invitation the day before yesterday. Was he furious?

"No, it's more important than this." Zhang Fei lowered his voice.

Well, this is touching someone else's cake and being liquidated.

Cao Shen decisively prepared to go to the appointment immediately. Today, he went to an official occasion. Even though he was used to T-shirts, shorts and slippers on weekdays, he specially changed into a white shirt and black trousers. Cao Shen was still clear about this.

And it was the same outfit he wore when he went to Guangda for an interview. This was his only outfit...

Although he was not short of money, Cao Shen was short of time, so he never went shopping to buy clothes.

As for Taotao, which is similar to Taobao, it is not at the same level as Taobao. Not only does it depend on luck to buy things, but the logistics time is also four or five days.

Moreover, Cao Shen is not the kind of person who wants to dress brightly, and he has completely forgotten about the need to make equipment. As for clothes, it is enough to wear comfortable and in line with your taste. Formal clothes are like a box that traps people inside, which does not fit Cao Shen's style.

While changing clothes, I was thinking about how to deal with it later. I'm not sure about this matter.
