On May 11th, the Hong Kong stock market closed. Tencent's share price stopped falling at 28 HKD and showed signs of rebounding.
But in a short period of time, no matter how much it rebounded, the possibility of it breaking the 30 HKD mark was not high.
At this moment, countless people in the outside world were paying attention to Tencent's next move and direction.
Would it continue to fight with Far away or would it choose to admit defeat and give up some industries that had more conflicts with Far away?
Currently, the biggest conflict between the two companies was in the field of instant messaging.
Other industries such as browsers, videos, entertainment … These industries were actually derivative industries. Even if Tencent continued to do these industries, Far Away would not target them.
There were many companies in the market that were doing these products, and Far Away did not specifically target anyone.
Far Away's web portals and Weibo did not have much of a target.
The key was the terrifying number of users of social media, and this was the root of the conflict between the two companies.
Tencent had hundreds of millions of users, and the key was QQ. Without QQ, the other party's derivative industries would not be able to grow, and they would not be able to pose a threat to the giants Far Away.
But as long as QQ did not die and its market share did not continue to fall, it might be able to make a comeback one day.
If Tencent insisted on doing QQ, this battle might be the fiercest. But Far Away would continue to keep an eye on them. If the other party made any progress, they might face a blow from Far Away.
Giving up on QQ meant that Tencent had given up on its core business, and they might not have any hope of returning to the frontline.
Give up?
Or persist?
Countless people were waiting for Tencent's decision!
… …
May 12th, Shenzhen City.
At around 10 o 'clock in the morning, Li Dong personally led a team to Shenzhen City.
Liu Hong, Liu Hongmei, Tan Haiying, Zhang Xiaolong, Wang Junyu, Wang Xin, Zhao Ting, Bai Su …
Including some legal, finance, negotiators, security personnel, and so on, a large group of people came from afar.
Li Dong's private jet couldn't fit all of them. Far away, he chartered another plane to take them to Shenzhen.
Li Dong personally led the team. The group's vice president and CFO, the chairman of the subsidiary group, the president of the business group, the president of the subsidiary company … This time, Li Dong brought almost the entire team of Far Away Technology.
Far away, almost everyone had received the news as soon as they left the airport!
Li Dong had arrived!
It would have been fine if this guy hadn't come, but his arrival had instantly attracted the attention of countless people.
Far away technology leaders had been brought here, including a large number of staff. This guy's purpose was obvious. He was here for the Tencent.
Moreover, Li Dong was very confident. If he wasn't confident, he wouldn't have personally appeared at this time and brought so many people to Shenzhen.
…
A coffee shop near Shenzhen University.
Ma Yun chuckled and said, "This attitude is quite like a tiger swallowing the world. Compared to him, we are really a little poor."
Private jet, team chartered plane. Once they alighted, they were greeted by a luxury convoy. There were seven or eight security vehicles alone.
Compared to Ma Yun and the others, the current Li Dong could not be mentioned in the same breath.
Although Ma Yun and the others had some money now, compared to Li Dong, the gap was really big.
Moreover, Li Dong's reputation was out there. His position as the world's richest man had not fallen yet. Instead, his personal wealth had increased again today. Obviously, it had something to do with the Tencent's defeat.
It would be strange if Li Dong did not have some attitude when he came out at this time.
After Ma Yun finished speaking, Li Yanhong, who was holding a cup of coffee, smiled faintly and said, "Li Dong is rich, there's nothing to be envious of. Moreover, this time he came with the momentum of a great victory. Even if he came alone, you would still feel pressure. Old Ma, this time it's Pony, I'm afraid the next time will be you. "
Ma Yun said faintly, "This can't be without your credit. If Baidu didn't hit them while they were down, Tencent wouldn't have come this far!
Although Far Away and a few anti-virus software manufacturers can defeat Tencent, it's not to this extent.
This time, you are helping the tyrant!
Far Away's ambition is beyond all of our imagination!
I know that he must have given you a lot of promises in private, but so what?
When he really absorbs all of our companies, even if Baidu has the absolute market share in the search field, what can it do?
Companies still have to grow in competition. Once we are collectively absorbed by Li Dong, Hua Xia's Internet industry will end here. "
Li Yanhong sneered and said, "Alarmist talk! It's not helping the tyrant, it's just taking what we need. Of course, I don't want to explain anything. Don't say these words. If it were you, you would have made the same choice as me. If you really can't stand it, why didn't you help this time? "
Ma Yun shook his head and said, "The time isn't right."
"The time isn't right? When you see the time, Far Away would have grown to an unbeatable level. "
Li Yanhong said and looked at the rest. "Be it cooperation or hostility, in fact, there is only one reason for everyone to come to Shenzhen. Tencent cannot be swallowed by Li Dong! Once Tencent is swallowed, Far Away will have made up for their biggest shortcoming! "
Does Far Away have any shortcoming?
Of course!
The biggest shortcoming was that Distance Technology had only been established for three years. Even counting from the mall, it had only been established for three years.
In three years, Far Away lacks talent, technology, patents, and everything!
The reason for this situation is that Far Away is mainly provided by Li Dong, and the rest is just executing.
The idea is provided by Li Dong, and in terms of technology, Baidu supports part of it. Far Away has also poached many technical talents from other companies.
Far Away is actually paying for some patents, so Far Away's profit margin is not high and cannot be compared to other internet companies.
Far Away has such a strong fighting power because of the capital support from other industries.
Far Away has invested a lot of money in the internet industry over the years. Just Weibo alone, how much money has been raised?
If it were other internet companies, they would not have so much money to burn.
Now, Far Away has Tencent!
As one of the overlords of the IT industry, Tencent has everything. Technology, talent, patents … they have it all!
Many people think that Tencent relied on plagiarism to rise, and the so-called patents and technologies are a joke.
But the truth is, among all the internet companies in China, Tencent has the most patents, and it can even be compared to several international internet giants.
Internet giants such as Google, Yahoo, and AOL have the same amount of patents as Tencent.
As for Ali and Baidu, just in terms of technology reserves and patents, and even in terms of talent, they are weaker than Tencent.
Tencent is located in Shenzhen. In fact, from a business point of view, its geographical advantage is a little bigger than Baidu's headquarters in Beijing. As for Ali, it is even more incomparable.
In the future, Ali and Tencent are competing, and Ali's various industries seem to be huge. It seems that Tencent has nothing but Wechat and QQ.
But the result is, in terms of stability, Tencent is much more stable than Ali.
Tencent is the type of company that makes a fortune quietly. If one of the three BAT companies survives in the end, it will definitely be Tencent.
Now, once Far Away takes over Tencent's resources, then Far Away can make up for all the shortcomings!
In the future, even if Li Dong doesn't care about it, Far Away will have a foothold.
Li Yanhong is still working with Far Away, and it is even beneficial for him if Far Away becomes stronger. But overall, no company would want another company in the same industry to become too strong.
Once Far Away is strong enough to leave them a few steps behind, then it will be troublesome.
Although Li Dong signed a contract with Baidu, he will not be in the search business.
But sometimes, the contract means everything.
Li Dong didn't promise not to support any company, right?
If Far Away really becomes a giant that everyone can't catch up to, with Far Away's resources, supporting any company in the search business will deal a heavy blow to Baidu.
Therefore, at this moment, everyone's goal is actually the same.
Tencent, after all, was defeated by Far Away. It is necessary for Far Away to receive some dividends, not to mention that other people can't take everything.
They must not let Far Away take everything!
If Far Away takes everything, then everyone will have a harder time in the future.
Ding Lei, who has been quiet all this while, said in a deep voice, "NetEase doesn't want much, but I want the gaming platform!"
Just as he finished speaking, Chen Tianqiao sneered, "You call this not a lot? I think it can't be any more! "
Tencent's gaming industry, many people feel that it relies on piracy, imitation, and QQ and WeChat to become so popular.
In reality, although Tencent's gaming industry doesn't lack these, Tencent has an extremely strong game development team!
A professional team that can transform a game into a game suitable for the country, suitable for the trend, and does not involve too many disputes over property rights. Who wouldn't want such a team!
Tencent's gaming industry has not developed to the stage it will be in the future, and because of Far Away's existence, its survival space has been suppressed.
But Far Away can still become third in the industry and surpass NetEase. This is proof of their strength.
Tencent has a lot of R&D teams, game platforms, and self-developed games.
If NetEase can take over the entire gaming industry, NetEase's gaming industry will achieve a huge breakthrough.
Ding Lei wants it, but Chen Tianqiao wants it even more!
After Shengda Box failed, he set his sights on building Hua Xia's Disney and Hua Xia's entertainment empire. The gaming industry is also an important part of it.
Shengda is preparing to split its gaming business and get listed. If they can take over Tencent's gaming business now, once it gets listed, it will create more profits and profits.
Who doesn't want a share of the profits?
Ma Yun frowned when he saw these two quarreling over this matter. "Let me say this first. If we can't settle Li Dong, everything will be for naught.
No matter how fierce the fight is now, it's all talk.
Tencent and Far Away's reactions are our biggest hurdle.
We contacted Tencent previously, but Ma Huateng and Tencent's management did not give us an accurate answer.
It's fine if they can't come to an agreement. Once they come to an agreement, we will have no chance.
As for Ma Huateng, I guess he doesn't want to split Tencent. As long as Li Dong gives us the right conditions, he won't consider us.
The breakthrough lies with Tencent's shareholders and management.
Ma Huateng wants to sell to Far Away, but he needs the approval of the board of directors and the shareholders' meeting.
Not everyone doesn't care about money. It's true that our family's strength is not as good as Distance, but if we combine our efforts, can Distance really outbid us? "
Everyone frowned. That's the truth.
If they can't deal with Li Dong and Ma Huateng, it's useless for them to discuss for a long time.
Just as they were thinking about how to snatch food from the tiger's mouth, Ma Yun's phone rang.
Glancing at the number, Ma Yun raised his eyebrows and said, "Li Dong."
Li Yanhong immediately said, "Answer it."
Ma Yun glanced at him and threw the phone to him. "You answer it."
"Me?"
Li Yanhong was stunned. He's so polite. He's even answering the phone?
But considering that Li Dong might reveal some secrets, Li Yanhong smiled and didn't argue. He answered the phone.
When the phone was connected, he didn't say anything to prevent Li Dong from recognizing his voice.
In the end, he didn't give him a chance to say anything. Li Dong said sarcastically, "Old Ma, you're going backwards.
You want to fight with me with a group of useless soldiers?
What, you want to take advantage of me behind my back?
If I were you, I'd go home immediately, so as not to embarrass myself here.
I'm afraid you can't even enter Tencent's door. Don't embarrass yourself here.
If you leave with your group of minions now, I won't bother with you. Otherwise, when I meet you later, don't blame me for not giving you face. I'll ridicule you on the spot. When that time comes, you'll be the one embarrassed. "
The corner of Li Yanhong's mouth twitched. After a while, he put down the phone and pushed it to Ma Yun. He laughed dryly and said, "You answer it."
Ma Yun ignored him. He picked up the phone and pressed the hang up button.
Then he said with a normal expression, "Don't tell me what he said. It's not the first time he's done this kind of thing.
The more he acts like this, the more it shows that he's guilty.
The more it's like this, the more we have to work hard and not be provoked by him.
Let him talk with Tencent first. The most important thing for us now is to know his trump card and the price he offered Far away.
On this basis, we'll each contribute money and effort to contact the management and shareholders other than Ma Huateng.
We're no match for him alone. Right now, everyone understands this. If we continue to fight among ourselves, I'm afraid there will be fewer people in future gatherings. "
Today, more than half of Hua Xia's IT magnates were gathered here.
Everyone was not stupid. Naturally, they understood what Ma Yun meant. No matter what, they could not let Far Away continue to grow stronger.
Even if they grew stronger, there would be a limit to how much they could grow. They could not advance by leaps and bounds!
The IT magnates were not too old, and they were still decisive.
After Ma Yun finished speaking, everyone nodded and went their separate ways.
Ma Huateng's side was difficult to deal with. Currently, this fellow's priority was not money, but other influences. These things were not something that everyone could give him.
If they could not deal with Ma Huateng, then they had to deal with the others first.
Even if it was useless, in the end, they had to make Far Away bleed and use up all their assets. Only then would they be able to buy the most time and opportunity for everyone!
Moreover, Tencent was a big fat piece of meat. Even if there was no conflict with Far Away, they could not bear to let it go.
For some second-tier companies, the collapse of the magnates was just a piece of meat. It was enough for them to digest for a while.
…
In front of the hotel.
Li Dong held his phone and sighed. "People are getting more and more boring. In the past, these people could still talk back. Now, they don't even have the ability to talk back. Is it because I'm standing too high, or are they getting weaker? "
Bai Su ignored him and looked at the documents. "At 1: 30 pm, we've arranged to meet with Tencent at the Feiyada Building. At that time, MIH and ABSA will be there. This time, are you going to personally lead the team, or will CEO Liu bring some people over to discuss and come to an agreement first? "
"I'll go."
Bai Su frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "If you come now, if they don't come to an agreement, then …"
As the highest decision maker of the company, it would be difficult to turn the situation around if the negotiation did not come to an agreement.
Moreover, Li Dong appeared to be a little impatient at this moment.
Seeing that he was so impatient, this mentality could be easily taken advantage of.
Li Dong smiled and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter. I'm indeed impatient. Everyone knows that. I don't care about Tencent's users, their businesses, and their other resources. These things are dispensable, but there are some things that I still want. Take their research institute, a few major R&D centers, some data centers, and their talent pool. Far Away can create more benefits … "
This was nonsense, and no one said anything.
For an Internet company, these things were the biggest capital!
Of course, there were also people who said that a large user base was the biggest capital. Far Away did not lack users, but something else.
Therefore, compared to Far Away, users were actually secondary. The key was what Li Dong said.
Anyone who was not blind knew this. Tencent was not an idiot. Would they transfer these to Far Away alone?
