On the stage.
Liu Hong said passionately, "Mr. Li Dong once said that the mobile internet will become the mainstream trend in the future!
We have never doubted Mr. Li Dong's words!
Weibo is short and easy to use. It is very suitable for mobile devices.
Our customer base is different from other social networking sites. They are all limited.
Far away from Weibo, even if you are illiterate, we can let you have fun and have fun.
We have already reached many collaborations with the top universities, high-end research institutes, and cutting-edge companies in the country.
In the next one to two years, Weibo will support voice operation. Full voice and unobstructed translation!
In addition, our Weibo activities have been a huge success!
Now, it is not only in China. Weibo's international version and Weibo are also extremely popular.
In the future, we will develop more functions and open up more functions!
Soon, we will be able to share our lives anytime, anywhere, in the form of short videos!
Currently, we have launched new functions in many countries around the world. We have reached agreements with Apple, HTC, and many other mobile phone manufacturers to add video sharing functions and share your life with one click!
In China, we have also reached agreements with OPPO and many other manufacturers to design targeted mobile phones for the internet industry Far away …
In terms of profits, Weibo has entered many companies and achieved great success on Weibo.
Profit from advertising is only a negligible part of our long-distance plan.
We will soon facilitate the integration of Weibo and e-commerce. You can continue to enjoy the convenience of life while sharing your life.
And we have invested in the IDC Center, the cloud computing center. Soon, we will also provide a better user experience for Weibo users.
We will use big data to get rid of the weeds and retain the essence. We will let you get the information you want anytime, anywhere … "
On the stage, Liu Hong was still giving his passionate speech.
Offstage, Li Dong curled his lips and muttered, "You can really brag!"
Yuan Chengdao and the rest had a conflicted look on their faces. They learned it from you!
Big data integration, e-commerce integration, voice system, short video sharing …
They were all prefixed with "future", "soon", and "our plan".
None of them could be realized!
Li Dong was naturally aware of this. When Liu Hong said it, he was a little embarrassed. This boast might not be realized in five years.
Unbeknownst to them, Liu Hong was also helpless.
How could he not boast?
You've already said that if it's less than 2.5 billion USD, you'll play with your head like a ball. I won't boast a few words to strengthen everyone's confidence. If it really doesn't reach 2.5 billion USD, are you really going to play with your head like a ball?
He had clearly planned that the pre-financing valuation of US $2 billion would be enough.
In the end, Li Dong turned around and said, "2.5 billion USD, a few billion more in one go. Does he really think money is worthless?"
If you don't give everyone something to look forward to, who would be stupid enough to believe you?
The internet industry had always been about painting a big picture, and financing was all about painting a big picture.
Ninety-nine percent of internet companies that were not listed, including those that were listed, were in a loss-making state.
At this time, it all depended on who could draw a bigger and rounder pie.
If you finished drawing, and everyone was satisfied with it, and even salivated just listening to it, then it meant that you had succeeded. Who cared if it could be realized or not, just do it first.
Anyway, there was no rule that said it had to be realized within three years or five years.
Hence, the eyes of the group of MDs and the heads of some organizations started to shine.
Liu Hong's boasting was not nonsense.
At least, Old Cao, who was in the audience, felt that he had learned a lot. So, it could be played this way!
In Old Cao's opinion, what Liu Hong said had a chance of being realized. At least, it was not empty talk.
Sina Weibo was much worse than So far away. Actually, Old Cao was also a little confused and did not know what the future was.
But at this time, he was intoxicated by Liu Hong's series of future arrangements and long-distance planning.
Even Old Cao was fooled, let alone the others.
If it was really as Liu Hong said, then the future of Weibo would be a little exciting.
Even if it could not be realized, no one would care.
The purpose of the investment organizations was to make money. As long as they could perfect the pie that Li Dong and Liu Hong had drawn, and no one could see any loopholes, then it would be more practical.
As for whether it could be realized or not, what did it have to do with them?
In three to five years, Weibo would have been listed, and they would have left early. They would have made money, and no one would care if it was really successful.
If it was successful, everyone would be happy.
If it failed, So far away and the shareholders would pay the bill. What did it have to do with them?
…
The atmosphere of the financing reception was very good.
Not long after Liu Hong finished boasting, Wang Xin found an opportunity to approach Li Dong and whispered, "General Manager Li, Mr. Zhang of Bank of China just gave an intended offer of 2.2 billion US dollars. This is just a verbal offer. We are likely to reach 2.5 billion US dollars!"
Li Dong raised his eyebrows slightly and paused before saying, "Is 2.5 billion US dollars too low?"
"Cough, cough, cough …"
Wang Xin could not take it anymore. He looked at Li Yanhong, who was chatting with Li Dong, for help.
Li Yanhong looked helpless and said with a smile, "Li Dong, don't really treat the capital organizations as fools.
In fact, in my opinion, 2.5 billion US dollars has exceeded expectations.
Now the reason why everyone is willing to give additional value is that there are more competitors this time.
On the other hand, So far away's future planning has been done well.
In addition, everyone is also interested in some industries So far away's technology. Some prices can be regarded as friendships.
If you are not satisfied, I think it's difficult. "
Li Dong said disapprovingly, "You speak as if these financial institutions are friendly. As you said, they are not stupid. If Weibo is not worth this price, will they offer this price? Since they have offered, it is normal for us to offer a price. "
"Did you forget what you said to Liu Qin before? You offered 2.5 billion US dollars yourself." Li Yanhong laughed.
"I didn't forget, but there are too many competitors. They have offered more than this price. Naturally, my words can't be accurate."
"You are really …"
Before Li Yanhong finished complaining, Liu Qin next to her said faintly, "General Manager Li, is this really appropriate?"
Li Dong turned to look at her and laughed. "I was just joking. I was just joking. For Boss Liu's sake, I can't let my niece be embarrassed. How about this? You can offer 2.5 billion US dollars later, and I will get Weibo to reserve five million shares for you as a token of appreciation. If you want more, we can talk about it later. What do you think? "
Liu Qin gritted her teeth. Just now, he said 2.5 billion US dollars and 30 million shares for them!
Now, it seems like So far away is fine, but he changed his mind. Does he have any integrity?
2.5 billion US dollars? Did I say that much?
He even let Goldman Sachs offer first. Isn't he using Goldman Sachs to drive up the overall price? He made it sound like Goldman Sachs is letting them off easy.
Liu Qin forced a smile. "Brother Dong …"
Before she could finish, Li Dong laughed. "Business is business, private is private. Liu Qin, you can't make things difficult for me. Moreover, Weibo is not just mine. Even Yanhong has a share. Furthermore, it's Goldman Sachs' money, not your father's money. Why should I help them save money? When I'm free, I will go to Beijing and pick a good car for you as a gift. Don't stand on ceremony with me. "
Liu Qin had given up all hope. Forget it. She should not play the relationship card with this guy. It's pointless.
Offer a few hundred million US dollars for a car?
Only he can think of this!
Liu Qin forced a few laughs. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, she walked over to Liu Hong with a glass of wine in her hand. He was the more reliable one.
… …
The banquet continued.
All the major organizations looked for Liu Hong, Wang Xin, or Yuan Chengdao to negotiate.
Those who came to look for Li Dong left after a few words.
They could even memorize what this guy said.
"You can offer 2.5 billion US dollars first, and I will give you five million shares later. It's definitely worth it. This is also the biggest benefit I am seeking for everyone …"
Anyway, 2.5 billion US dollars had become Li Dong's bottom line.
It was supposed to be 2 billion US dollars, and now there's so much more. Yuan Chengdao, Xiong Xiaoge, Shen Nanpeng, and the rest were confused.
Using 2 billion US dollars as the starting point and 2.5 billion US dollars are two completely different concepts.
Even the plan had been prepared, but in the end, Li Dong did as he pleased, leaving everyone in the know extremely helpless.
Of course, if Feng Yu were to offer 2 billion US dollars now, the effect would be a hundred times stronger. Before the banquet ends, Weibo's 50 million shares would be gone.
Li Dong had already seen through all these, and he was not quoting randomly.
No matter how big the capital is, it's not much different from a market.
When discussing business, bargaining was inevitable.
Li Dong's parents were street vendors, and Li Dong grew up there. He knew that expensive is good!
Li Dong had a deep impression of some things. For example, his family and the fish vendor next door bought the same batch of fish from the same store.
In the end, Li Dong's parents offered 10 US dollars per catty, and the guy next door offered 15 US dollars. Many people felt that 15 US dollars per catty was better.
Then, the other party bragged a little and lowered the price to 12 US dollars per catty, and the customer was overjoyed.
As for Li Dong's parents, no one wanted to buy 10 US dollars per catty of fish.
Weibo is worth billions of US dollars, and fish is worth 10 US dollars per catty. The two cannot be compared, but there's not much difference.
Overall, this is a marketing strategy.
Li Dong had been marketing Weibo before, and it was quite effective. In fact, if it was not effective, he could still accept 2 billion US dollars.
…
The banquet lasted for a long time, but Li Dong did not stay until the end.
In the end, no one talked to him anymore. What's the point of staying?
After bidding farewell to Yuan Chengdao and the others, Li Dong left early.
After leaving the hotel, Li Dong stood at the door and took a deep breath. It was the end of October, and the weather in Pingchuan was getting colder.
At night, the air was much colder.
Li Dong took a few breaths and was completely awake.
At this moment, someone beside him yawned and said, "Hey, can you not make that expression of enjoyment? It's disgusting."
When Li Dong heard the voice, he knew who was speaking. He immediately cursed, "Are you pretending to be a ghost to scare your Brother Dong? Old Tan, how do you do things? The next time you meet someone who suddenly appears, just knock him down! "
Hsu Shengzhe sneered, "If you knock me down, the medical fees will be calculated at a billion US dollars. Are you sure?"
"Get lost!"
Li Dong cursed and said, "Why did you come out?"
"How boring!"
As Hsu Shengzhe said that, he could not help but curse, "Motherf * cker, these financial institutions are blind! Just brag a little, and they'll beg their grandfathers to give you money. I talked to a few of them, but they all f * cking said that real estate companies are not in their consideration. They're deliberately disgusting me! "
Li Dong immediately laughed and said gloatingly, "Serves you right. Besides, is that considered bragging? My name, Li Dong, is a guarantee. Even if I'm bragging, it's also a reflection of foresight and strategy! How can a real estate businessman like you compare to me? Kid, learn a little. This is the difference between the first and second generation. "
"You're so thick-skinned now. No wonder you don't have a beard. I can't stab you!"
"You're the one who doesn't have a beard. You're blind. Can't you see my stubble?"
"That's a blackhead. You're blind."
"Get lost!"
"…"
The two of them exchanged a few words before Hsu Shengzhe exhaled and said, "Alright, I'll stop talking nonsense with you. Seriously, what are you planning to do now? "
"What do you mean?" Li Dong was puzzled.
Although Hsu Shengzhe did not want to admit it, he still said, "I think you're almost at the peak now. All your industries are developing smoothly. But you don't seem to be satisfied. Do you really want to rush out of the country and compete with the world's giants? "
"Peak my ass. You're really shallow!"
Li Dong sneered. "You call this the peak? The peak in your eyes is really worthless. You can't even be the first in the country. What kind of peak is that? Of course, in your eyes, I'm an existence that you can't surpass. As for rushing out of the country, that's inevitable. But from now on, my focus will probably not be on my career. It's been five years. I should also enjoy life and solve some problems along the way. "
Hsu Shengzhe glanced at him and said after a while, "The first half of your words can be treated as fart, but the second half has some substance. I think I understand what you mean. To be honest, you should settle down, kid. If you continue to drag on like this, you'll really fall out with me. Learn from me. If the red flag at home doesn't fall, the colorful flags flutter outside. That's life. As for enjoying life, learn from me. I'll make some interesting things for you later. I guarantee you'll like it. "
Li Dong curled his lips. Am I such a vulgar person?
Do you think I'm interested in those things you're playing with?
Li Dong could not be bothered to talk to him. While Shen Xuehua and Hu Ming were still inside, he said, "Let's go first. There's nothing urgent in Longhua. After this year, the real estate market will definitely pick up. There's no need to let others take advantage of it. You're already decades old, and you can't escape greed, anger, and obsession. Jealousy is the original sin. Don't be jealous of me. Whatever I do, you're destined to have no future. Those who learn from me will die. Those who resemble me will die. Those who learn from me will also die. You have to accept your fate. "
After saying this, Li Dong disappeared from Hsu Shengzhe's sight.
Hsu Shengzhe was stunned for a while. After a long time, he cursed, "This bastard is getting more and more arrogant. Every time, he's angered to death!"
When chatting with Li Dong, you can only listen to half of what he says.
If you listen too much, you'll feel uncomfortable. When he attacks someone, his tongue is vicious.
After scolding for a while, Hsu Shengzhe gloated, "At least I have a wife and children to worry about. What's there to be proud of?!"
After comforting himself, Hsu Shengzhe also walked away. It's better not to think about the financing.
Just like what Li Dong said, even if the financing was successful now, it would benefit others.
