My Age of Investment

Chapter 790 Helping others

The kite passed the information to Xia Jingxing immediately.

After learning of Chen Yizhou's predicament, Xia Jingxing, in the spirit of helping others, entrusted Lin Xinhe to be a lobbyist and asked him to bring a message to Chen Yizhou.

Lin Xinhe and Chen Yizhou used to have a good relationship, but since DCM withdrew its investment in Thousand Oaks, the two have completely become enemies and have never been in touch with each other.

However, there is no such thing as shame in the capital circle.

After Lin Xinhe found out that Chen Yizhou had blocked his phone, he ran directly to Thousand Oaks.

He nervously told the front desk about his intentions, but what happened next was something he never expected.

Chen Yizhou came to the front desk in person, welcomed Lin Xinhe into his office politely, and made Kung Fu tea for the latter. The courtesy was very thoughtful.

When Lin Xinhe told Chen Yizhou what Xia Jingxing had said, the latter agreed to meet without any hesitation.

Xia Jingxing originally wanted to put the meeting place in the four major clubs, but Chen Yizhou insisted on going to Haineiwang to meet, and Xia Jingxing agreed to him.

When he arrived at Hainei.com, Chen Yizhou was not in a hurry to negotiate. He made a request, asking Xia Jingxing to lead him to the Hainei.com office area.

Xia Jingxing did not refuse, and graciously led Chen Yizhou around every corner of the Hainei website.

Many employees of Hainei.com recognized Chen Yizhou with astonished expressions.

After Xia Jingxing, Chen Yizhou and his group passed by, the employees started chatting and discussing.

"That's Chen Yizhou, right? Why did he come to our company, and the boss still leads him around?"

"If expectations are not bad, Thousand Oaks will be acquired by us."

"Hiss, this can't be true, can it? I'm defeated, what's the acquisition value?"

"That's wrong, a tiger won't fall when it dies, and its prestige is still there!

Although the SNS business of Thousand Oaks is not good, the communities and forums such as Mopu, Donews, and Warcraft China are still doing very well, and I often browse them. "

"It makes sense. The acquisition of these game communities and forums will help us form a stronger media matrix and help promote games."

...

After visiting along the way, the employees of Hainei.com gave Chen Yizhou the greatest feeling of self-confidence. Everyone has a spirit of striving for progress.

But Thousand Oaks seems to be getting old, and the employees are full of old age.

Chen Yizhou understands that this problem is not only caused by the employees themselves, but also by the company.

If Thousand Oaks can also achieve success like Hainei.com,

He believes that his employees can burst into a stronger passion for work.

But the reality is that what he brought to the employees was one defeat after another.

Hey, the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable it gets.

Chen Yizhou simply discarded the distracting thoughts in his mind, and began to observe seriously.

Hainei.com is not very big at present, with only more than 300 employees. I rented a two-story office building and finished the tour in a while.

"Mr. Xia, the visit along the way gave me a lot of feelings!"

Chen Yizhou didn't ask him to call "Jing Xing" or "Dai Lun", but Mr. Xia.

He looked at Xia Jingxing with emotion, as if he had realized something.

"Oh, how do you feel?" Xia Jingxing asked with a smile.

"I saw a kind of upward force from their faces, and only a team with this kind of strength can win one success after another."

Chen Yizhou sighed, "Hey, times have changed."

Xia Jingxing didn't speak, and led Chen Yizhou to his office.

Chen Yizhou checked his words and demeanor, and did not read any useful information from Xia Jingxing's face. He knew that this was an old lady, and he must not be underestimated because of his age.

Last year, he smiled and sold UUme to him as a treasure. This year, he bought Xiaonei.com, upgraded it to Hainei.com, and defeated Thousand Oaks steadily.

It is impossible to say that he has no grudge against Xia Jingxing.

The reason why he went to the Hainei website with great fanfare today and suggested that Xia Jingxing lead him around was just to show the shareholders.

Of course, if Xia Jingxing can give him a satisfactory price, Thousand Oaks is not impossible to sell.

He is now waiting for the price to bring in Xia Jingxing's power to put pressure on the shareholders.

Xiong Xiaoge and Zhang Fan really thought that he didn't dare to sell the company, it was a joke!

In his mind, the purpose of running a company is to make money.

Except ChinaRen was founded by himself back then, Maopu, World of Warcraft China, and even Renren are all acquired by Thousand Oaks.

His purpose is to piece together a listed company to fulfill his long-term wish.

If nothing can be done, it is also possible to sell for cash and wait for new opportunities.

Xia Jingxing felt that he had underestimated Chen Yizhou, he was really a character who could be taken up and put down.

Just imagine how many people can chat and laugh with their life and death enemies in the market?

He caused Chen Yizhou to waste all the 1 billion advertising expenses, and ended up being hunted by capital.

Chen Yizhou was actually willing to take the initiative to meet him, and even suggested to visit the Hainei website together.

Xia Jingxing knew that for Chen Yizhou, this was an impossible matter, and it was also a chance to survive.

Chen Yizhou may not be good at business, but he is good at investing and speculating, and his face has long been cultivated to be invulnerable.

He is a ruthless man!

After taking Chen Yizhou back to his office, and calling the secretary to make tea, Xia Jingxing sat on the sofa with Chen Yizhou, and chatted cordially.

"Mr. Xia, Thousand Oaks has ended up like this. It is purely my blind arrogance. I have to blame myself. I can't blame others. Maybe this is really not my era."

Chen Yizhou said with a smile, "A few days ago, I had dinner with Charles, and I was so envious. That guy climbed Mount Everest today, bought a yacht tomorrow, and drove a group of female stars and models out to sea for a party on the yacht the day after tomorrow. , Live like an extravagant nobleman.

This is real life! Over the years, for the sake of my career, I have sacrificed too much time to spend with my family, and I have also left behind some hobbies.

Just look at my stomach, I used to be like you, a handsome young man. "

Xia Jingxing felt that Chen Yizhou's acting was a bit too much. The more Chen Yizhou looked down on fame and fortune, the less Xia Jingxing believed that he was willing to do so.

"Yes, life and career are equally important. A man may not have a life, but he must have a career."

Xia Jingxing looked into Chen Yizhou's eyes, "For people like us, not having a career is worse than dying."

Chen Yizhou felt that Xia Jingxing was testing him, so he suddenly burst out laughing, "Mr. Xia, what is life and death? Look at how chic and comfortable Charles is living. Even if he dies, he will be so happy."

Xia Jingxing smiled and said nothing.

Chen Yizhou sighed, "I've lost my vigor, Thousand Oaks has no chance, and I don't want to continue to take care of that mess.

Mr. Xia, if you like it, I will sell Thousand Oaks to you.

I believe that in your hands, this company will definitely be able to regain its brilliance. "

Xia Jingxing smiled, "You can directly make an offer. If it is suitable, I will do this business."

"Three hundred million dollars!"

After quoting the price, Chen Yizhou found that Xia Jingxing was looking at him with a half-smile, and explained: "Mr. Xia, don't think that this price is too high. Thousand Oaks' community and forum assets can complement Hainei.com. Renren.com It can greatly strengthen the dominance of Haineiwang in the SNS industry."

Xia Jingxing said indifferently: "This price, the board of directors will definitely not be able to pass it."

Chen Yizhou's expression was sincere: "I don't need an all-cash acquisition, and I can accept the additional issuance of Haineiwang equity as part of the transaction consideration."

Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "The maximum is 40 million US dollars, or you can sell the mop to me alone."

Chen Yizhou shook his head again and again, "The price is too low, and Mopu will never split it."

"So there's nothing to talk about?" Xia Jingxing smiled and spread his hands.

Chen Yizhou felt that Xia Jingxing didn't play his cards according to the routine, and would flip the table if he disagreed.

"Mr. Xia, add a little more, I can accept 250 million US dollars."

Xia Jingxing shook his head and laughed, he was not interested in breaking up with Chen Yizhou any more, so he changed the subject and talked about Charles.

Chen Yizhou knew that Xia Jingxing wanted to lower the price in this way, and he didn't want to lose his momentum, so he didn't raise the price anymore.

After drinking two more cups of tea and chatting about Charles' gossip, Chen Yizhou got up and took the initiative to leave.

The basic purpose of his trip has been achieved, and he can see that Xia Jingxing actually wants to bite off a piece of meat from Thousand Oaks.

He is now full of confidence in his heart, and then he can let the shareholders and Xia Jingxing compete with each other around Thousand Oaks, and bid for a plan that is more beneficial to him.

Both sides thought they were going to eat him, but he wanted to see who was the prey.

After seeing off Chen Yizhou, Xia Jingxing first looked thoughtful, then smiled freely, taking it as a pleasure to help others, and hoped that Chen Yizhou would not disappoint his own heart.
