"Tencent is entering the market!"
As Tencent's funds entered the market, it attracted many people's attention!
Shanghai.
Li Dong did not mind at first. He knew Tencent's assets very well.
Tencent has a total of 500 million HKD cash flow. Based on his understanding of Ma Huateng, Ma Huateng will either give up on entering the market or invest 100 to 200 million HKD.
Li Dong had not thought of investing all his money into the market.
As Tencent's funds entered the market, more and more orders were being sold.
Tencent had to maintain its price of 55 HKD, and the unit price was around 55 HKD. At this price, 100 to 200 million HKD will not last long.
14 years ago, Tencent did not plan to split its shares into 5, and they did not issue new shares later. Tencent's total share capital was still around 9.5 billion shares.
Tencent's total share capital was around 1.7 billion shares.
When Tencent was listed in 2004, there were not many shares circulating in the secondary market. At that time, the share price was too low, and the major shareholders, including Tencent's executives, did not sell their shares.
But a few years later, Tencent's share price increased by more than 20 times, and Ma Huateng and other shareholders sold their shares.
Now, there were more than 400 million shares circulating in the secondary market.
At 55 HKD, the total market value was more than 22 billion HKD.
Of course, it was impossible for all these shares to be sold in one day. But Tencent was facing a crisis, and there were a lot of shareholders and institutions selling their shares on the 4th.
Even if it was only 10%, Tencent would need to prepare at least 2 billion HKD if they wanted to buy all the shares.
Buybacks were not limited to cash buybacks. There were also debt buybacks, mixed buybacks, using bonds and preferred shares to exchange for common shares … …
There were many ways to do it.
However, Tencent did not have so many choices. Bonds and preferred shares were useless now. The problem now was the entire Tencent and not just the restructuring of the shares.
Debt was also dependent on whether banks and institutions were willing to lend them money.
In addition, time was too short. There was no time for Tencent to raise funds. At this time, Tencent could only use the cash buyback plan.
Even if the major shareholders and most of the investment banks do not move, Tencent will need to use around 2 billion HKD to maintain the 55 HKD price today.
In Li Dong's opinion, this was definitely impossible.
Of course, with Tencent's large amount of funds entering the market, the investors' hearts calmed down a little. They did not need to spend so much money, but could the investors' hearts really calm down?
2 billion HKD. This was Li Dong's minimum budget.
Tencent. He does not have this much money. Rather than investing in the stock market, he might as well do something else. That's why Li Dong was confident that the share prices will fall below 50 HKD today.
However, when the Hong Kong stock market closed in the morning, Tencent's share price still remained at 55 HKD!
At this moment, Li Dong was a little puzzled and asked, "Did another organization enter the arena?"
Bai Su and a few other staff members were also constantly answering phone calls, collecting information, and summarizing it.
When Li Dong asked, Bai Su frowned and said, "General Manager Li, there were a lot of orders this morning. Just Tencent's funds should be no less than 500 million HKD! During the break, a lot of funds entered the market. According to the report from Hong Kong, the funds should be no less than 500 million HKD! "
"500 million HKD … …"
Li Dong frowned. 500 million HKD was not a lot at this time.
But it was not a lot. 500 million HKD was also not a small amount.
At this time, Feng Yu had almost reached the end of the negotiations with some institutions. Who would be stupid enough to throw money at them?
Could it be that there were still people who wanted to bet on Tencent to make a comeback in the end?
In this era, there was no lack of gamblers, and it was not impossible.
But to use more than 500 million HKD, it was obviously not an ordinary person. Although such people dared to gamble, under normal circumstances, they would not bet on probability for no reason without a 70% chance of winning.
Thinking of this, Li Dong immediately said, "Check! Find out the source of the funds!"
Bai Su nodded and said, "Our people are already checking. There will be results soon."
Tencent's share price had plummeted in the past few days. Before a lot of preparation was done, a large amount of funds could not be hidden.
Moreover, this time, the other party's funds did not enter separately. It was almost instantaneous. In this case, it was easier to check. At most, the news would be leaked in half an hour to an hour.
… …
Half an hour later.
Li Dong was eating with his family. Bai Su hurried over and greeted Li Chengyuan. Then she whispered to Li Dong, "I found out! You probably did not know where the funds came from … "
Li Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "Changjiang?"
"No, it is still from Tencent, but it is not Tencent Group. It is Ma Huateng and Zhang Zidong's personal financial management team …"
"Personal money!"
Li Dong was indeed a little surprised this time. Then he said in disbelief, "These guys are crazy! Or do they still have a trump card and think that they can come back from the dead and reverse the situation! "
Think about it from another perspective. Why did Li Dong and the others distinguish between the group and the individual?
Li Dong had been leaving a way out for himself. Last time, he even let Far away pay off billions of debts, just to let himself have a small treasury.
This money had nothing to do with the group.
Even if the group went bankrupt, unless someone specifically looked for Li Dong to liquidate, the general business bankruptcy would not affect Li Dong himself.
It was his personal money, and he did not need to bear the group's debts.
It was the same for Ma Huateng and the others. Even if Tencent really went bankrupt, the money they had cashed out previously was still their own money. It had nothing to do with Tencent.
But now, the other party used their own funds. This was somewhat beyond Li Dong's expectations.
The current situation of Tencent was not good. If they used their own money at this time, what if Tencent collapsed?
Tencent had been listed for many years. In the past few years, because the share price was too low, Ma Huateng and the others did not sell much. Even if they sold out, they did not have much money.
As far as Ma Huateng was concerned, Li Dong knew that in 2005, he sold out about 100 million HKD. In 2008, Ma Huateng also sold out on a large scale, about 700 million HKD.
In addition to the other miscellaneous sales, Ma Huateng's personal net worth was only about 800 million HKD over the years.
Zhang Zidong and the other senior executives did not own as many shares as Ma Huateng, and they did not sell out as much. Zhang Zidong only sold out about 200 million HKD.
These senior executives might have invested in other areas over the years. With their status and foresight, their investments rarely failed. No matter how much they earned, they would still make some profits.
Even if Li Dong overestimated them, some of the senior executives of Tencent would not hold more than 2 billion HKD.
Also, a few days ago, Brother Ma had his eyes on a mansion in Hong Kong, which was worth nearly 500 million HKD.
Although the deal had not been made yet, it would happen in a few days.
If they spent their money now, would they still be able to buy the house?
Tencent might collapse, but the house was still there. With this house, Brother Ma could be a tycoon for the rest of his life.
If they invested their money into the stock market now, it would be hard to say if they would still have money in the future.
Tencent executives had worked hard for so many years, and they were willing to invest all their money into the stock market?
Li Dong thought for a while and could not help but ask. "Are they confident, or are they really muddled and crazy?"
Bai Su shook her head. How would she know?
Li Dong stopped eating and greeted his parents and Shen Qian. He then stood up and said, "They do not look confident. If they really have a trick to turn the tables, they will not be the ones who will invest in the stock market now. It will be MIH and other institutions. Of course, we do not rule out that Ma Huateng and the rest want to buy back some shares to expand their influence and make a fortune. But unless they have a 100% chance of winning, everyone is a cunning rabbit with three burrows. Who would take out their own trump cards? "
"You!"
Bai Su replied subconsciously. Li Dong said angrily, "How can I be the same? I am confident that I can win, that's why I invested all my capital! If I have a high chance of losing, I would be stupid to invest all my capital. "
Bai Su said that he would do this kind of thing, and it was the truth.
Li Dong had used his capital many times. When Baidu went public, he invested all his capital.
During the acquisition era, he almost spent all his capital to raise money.
Later, when he fought with Su Guo, he bought some supermarkets and spent all his capital again.
This kind of thing kept happening in the future.
Li Dong said that he was confident that he could win, but he was not confident.
However, he was indeed confident. Perhaps it was because the money came too quickly. Although Li Dong liked to increase his wealth, if he lost it, he would not care too much.
Qin Yuhan said that Li Dong was playing a game, and this was probably the truth.
Li Dong treated his career as a game, a more exciting numbers game.
But did Ma Huateng and the rest also treat wealth as a game?
Li Dong could not help but take out his phone and call Ma Huateng.
…
Shenzhen.
At this moment, Ma Huateng had calmed down. He had spent nearly 700 million HKD in the morning.
The group's money was spent, and he had used about 200 million HKD from his private funds.
As for Zhang Zidong, it was not time to use his money yet. Ma Huateng also told Zhang Zidong in advance that before he finished spending his money, Zhang Zidong was not allowed to use it.
While he was eating lunch, his phone rang.
Ma Huateng picked up the phone and glanced at it. He suddenly laughed and said, "There are also times when you can't sit still!"
Several executives at the side put down their bowls and chopsticks. Ma Huateng smiled faintly and said, "Li Dong called."
When they heard the name "Li Dong," everyone frowned and became angry.
Someone immediately said, "What does this guy mean? Are you taking pleasure in my misfortune? Pony, don't answer it … "
Ma Huateng waved his hand and smiled, "It's okay. He is probably guessing if I have any tricks or not. Be quiet for a while. I'll talk to him. "
As he said this, Ma Huateng picked up the phone and laughed, "General Manager Li, are you calling me at this time to make a fool out of me?"
Li Dong, who was opposite him, also laughed heartily. He quickly said, "Brother Ma, what are you saying? Am I, Li Dong, that kind of person?
Who are we? It can be said that ever since I came into contact with the Internet, your Brother Ma has been my number one idol!
Tencent and I are like fire and water now, and I'm a little embarrassed.
I really didn't know about this morning's announcement. You also know that I'm not in the company now. It's all their own fault.
They even brought up CF. How embarrassing!
Brother Ma helped me earn money, and they used this to attack you. This is too much. When I go back, I'll definitely teach them a lesson … "
"Hehe!"
Ma Huateng put on a fake smile and said, "Li Dong, we've known each other for some time. Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are? Why are you being so hypocritical at this time? It's your ability to have the upper hand. I didn't even mention it, and you still brought it up. What's the point? Just say it. What do you want to know? "
Li Dong paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother Ma is still a straightforward person.
I don't mean anything by it, really. I just want you to think twice before you act.
It's not easy for you to save money all these years. Even if you're willing, Zhang Zidong and the others have worked hard with you. Are you willing to let their money go to waste?
They're not young anymore. If they go bankrupt at this time, do you want them to starve?
Don't throw money at the stock market. It's meaningless.
So what if you throw in all your belongings?
Even if it stabilizes today, it will plummet tomorrow.
If you can come up with more than 10 billion, then I believe that you will be able to maintain the current share price for a period of time. Unless there is a major change, it should not be a problem to maintain the current share price.
But you can't even come up with so much money now. What's the point?
Think about Old Ma. Ali's share prices had plummeted, and did he even make a move?
He can't wait for the share prices to fall further and get delisted.
As for you, I don't think you will do anything stupid. Considering you are not depending on Tencent's salary, I don't have any scruples.
But now, you've spent all your money on this. If you go bankrupt, I'll feel really bad … "
"Li Dong, there's no need to cry.
Furthermore, who says I am losing money?
55 HKD to buy back the shares. This price is not high. One month ago, we didn't expect to have such an opportunity.
Even if there's an opportunity, others will be eyeing it.
It's fine now, and I should thank you for giving me this opportunity.
Oh … "
Ma Huateng scared Li Dong and laughed. "I forgot to say. Congratulations to Far Away Mall and Wanjia Web for creating a legend again!
We will make money for you, and you will make money for us. Everyone can work together for a win-win situation.
But it's hard to say how long this cooperation will last.
Li Dong, I think I can still maintain the share prices. If I can't, our cooperation will come to an end.
Do you want to buy back the shares yourself, or give up the opportunity and let me find someone else to take over?
Far Away Mall's valuation has been rising because of you. 10% of the shares is worth 10 billion RMB, right? "
Li Dong laughed. "You can do whatever you want. It's only 10%. There are no voting rights or management rights.
This year is the time to burn money. If someone is willing to take over, I will be happy.
You can sell as much as you can, and you can pour all the money into the stock market. I like this situation.
With Far Away Mall's shares in hand, you won't be able to break the bottom line.
Without these shares, Brother Ma, it's not that I look down on you. Even if you raise 10 billion RMB today, Tencent's share price will fall by more than 10 billion tomorrow. How much money do you have to burn?
If you don't believe me, you can try to gamble.
With Far Away Mall's shares in hand, Tencent's share price will fall below 40 HKD. That's probably the limit.
No, 3.7 HKD is not impossible! "
Ma Huateng's face changed slightly when he heard this.
This was also one of the reasons why he did not mention Far Away Mall. Li Dong's words were not just to scare him.
With Far Away Mall's shares in hand, Tencent still has some confidence. No matter how much the share price falls, Tencent still has value.
But if they sell their shares, even if they get tens of billions, the money will be fixed. Fixed money will be gone after they finish spending it.
When Ma Huateng kept quiet, Li Dong continued. "According to our initial agreement, you will receive the balance payment in June!
Also, there is a large investment proposal for Far Away Mall.
You all might not have the money to keep up, and I can only choose to dilute your shares. This is what we agreed on.
You better pray that I can defeat Taobao. If not, Far Away Mall will lose all its money, and Tencent will lose all its assets.
You still want to cooperate with Ali and suppress Far Away Mall. You even want to weaken Far Away Mall's marketing. You are making things difficult for yourself.
I can't be bothered to argue with you. During this period, your mind must be muddled.
As for whether you have a plan or not, I know what you are up to.
He made this call because he wanted to say that sometimes, it was useless to just have feelings.
I can understand that you can't bear to part with Tencent.
But since you are in the business world, you must let go of these feelings.
Did Old Huang bear to part with Gome?
His feelings are deeper than yours, and he can't bear to part with Tencent!
But in the end, what did Old Huang do? He sold a portion of his shares and gave up competing in the secondary market. In the end, he got the most benefits.
With more than 20 billion HKD in his hands, he can do anything he wants.
With this money, he can do whatever he wants, and he doesn't need to beg anyone.
You only have this little amount of funds, and if you spend it now, and you are not willing to be under others, you will not have a chance to start your own business.
Even if you start your own business, you still need to raise funds and be controlled by others. You will be back to square one, and 11 years of hard work will be wasted.
As a friend, although we are business rivals now, I still need to give you some advice. Of course, it is up to you whether you want to listen to me.
Also, I had told you that I will let you own the mall's shares, but you refused. You brought along a few other financial institutions to share the shares with you. Now, they will not share with you.
But no matter what, I will not force you to a dead end.
In the end, if you can't hold on any longer, you don't need to rely on me. You can use your remaining assets to exchange for a sum of money and everything you want. You can choose to retire or start a new business.
I'll leave you with these words. This path will always be reserved for you. "
Li Dong is sincere, and Ma Huateng believes in his sincerity.
However, Ma Huateng had a mocking smile on his face. Once a person had a path of retreat, once they had a path of retreat, they wouldn't be able to muster up the heart to fight to the death.
Tencent will suffer another blow, and if he fights to the death, he might bite Far Away.
Both Li Dong and Li Dong understand this, but Li Dong does not want Ma Huateng to continue tormenting himself.
So, he said that he will leave a way out for Ma Huateng. He will use his remaining assets to look for Li Dong to exchange for the capital to make a comeback, or a wealth that he will not be able to spend in his lifetime.
This is not a lie.
Based on Li Dong's personality and status, if he says this, Ma Huateng will give up in the end and let Far Away win smoothly. Li Dong will not mind asking for more than three to five hundred million.
But this promise, Ma Huateng does not need it.
If he wanted to leave a way out for himself, he would have done so long ago!
If he wanted to surrender, even at this moment, he could look for Li Dong to surrender, and he might be able to exchange for three to five billion. He could even bring Tencent and rely on Li Dong to exchange for a large number of Far Away shares.
If he were to admit defeat so willingly, he would not have used his own funds in the morning!
All of this stems from unwillingness and reluctance. He does not need the pity and charity from his opponent!
Ma Huateng chuckled and said, "Li Dong, I will leave these words to you. But I am worried that I will not be able to wait until then. Don't get beaten up by others before you lose to me. So, at this time, it is better to provoke less opponents, lest you suffer a big loss. "
"Then, let's wait and see."
"…"
The two of them did not continue chatting and hung up.
After Ma Huateng hung up, he saw everyone looking at him and said with a smile on his face, "Li Dapao also has times when he is nervous. He is testing us on purpose. But it does not matter, he is testing us. As long as we know what we are doing, it is fine. Far Away does not have a trump card. "
These words have a profound meaning, and everyone raised their eyebrows and felt strange.
Could it be that there really is a trump card?
Of course, technical interference must be ruled out.
Ma Huateng and Zhang Zidong had used their own funds to enter the market today. Actually, everyone was a little puzzled. Now that they heard Ma Huateng say this, everyone was even more curious and doubtful.
But looking at Ma Huateng, it seemed that he did not want to say much. Everyone wanted to ask, but in the end, they did not.
Moreover, the possibility of it being a bluff was higher.
Tencent's situation was not clear to outsiders, but how could those present not be clear?
If there really was a trump card, Ma Huateng would have used it long ago. He would not need to wait until now.
It was just to warn some of the executives and appease some of them.
At this juncture, if a few more executives wavered, it might really be like what Li Dong said. Tencent would collapse internally.
