On the 15th of May, Far away and Tencent announced their restructuring.
The trading of Hong Kong Stock Exchange will also be suspended from the 16th.
The stock market was shaken by the news!
Far Away will be divested of its assets and merged into Tencent. This series of news shocked everyone.
Fast! Too fast!
Hong Kong Stock Exchange's suspension of trading was not unconditional. Since Tencent had agreed to suspend trading, it means both parties had met the conditions. The restructuring will start on the 16th.
How many days had it been?
On the 14th, both companies will officially end the war. On the 15th, the restructuring will be announced. On the 16th, the trading will be suspended … …
This speed and efficiency was unbelievable!
After the disbelief, all the Tencent shareholders who were still sad a moment ago were overjoyed!
If it was any other company's restructuring, it was hard to tell if it would be better or worse.
Also, the timing was also a problem. It was hard to tell when the trading will resume. Some companies in Hong Kong Stock Exchange had been suspended for a few years. But in the A shares market, there were many companies that had been suspended for more than three years.
Far Away and Tencent were different!
Far Away and Li Dong were known for his quick decisions. Unless the company was delisted, Tencent would not be able to resume trading for a long time.
Tencent is also very efficient. Looking at their efficiency in following the trend and the efficiency of this negotiation, one can tell that Tencent is a fast negotiator.
Both companies had chosen to restructure. Will Tencent be suspended for a long time?
It could be as long as half a year, or as short as one or two months.
Now, how much was Tencent's share price?
The war on the 14th had ended, and Tencent's users had returned. The share price had increased slightly and was currently at 30 HKD.
Once the restructuring was over, no matter what happened to the company's share price, Tencent's share price will skyrocket.
It should not be a problem to exceed Tencent's previous share price.
That means Tencent's share price will still be above 80 HKD, and they will not suffer any losses.
Considering all these, a large number of investors and institutions started to enter the market.
But how many fools were there in this world?
Other than some investors who could not withdraw their orders in time, the rest of the investors did not make a move!
Tencent's share prices also started to skyrocket!
Today is the last day, and the trading will be suspended tomorrow. In fact, even if the trading is not suspended tomorrow, the Hong Kong stock market will be closed. Anyway, today is the last chance to buy Tencent shares in the secondary market!
35 HKD … 38 HKD … 40 HKD …
When the market closed for the morning, Tencent's share price soared to 50 HKD!
However, the turnover rate was frighteningly low. Almost no one chose to give up.
So far, according to the plan, after the restructuring, the total share capital will be 5 billion shares. If the company gets listed, the total share capital will be 6 billion shares, or HK $50. The market value will be 300 billion HKD.
300 billion HKD is approaching the 40 billion USD mark.
Is 50 HKD worth a good deal or not? That's not certain.
However, at this time, who would still think about these things? Far away to make money, this was almost everyone's unanimous thought.
In the stock market, there were still countless people entering the market, but only a few people were selling.
As for the shareholders who had sold their shares at a low price a few days ago, they all looked as if they had lost their parents!
Big loss!
Who would have thought that Tencent and Far away will start their restructuring plan so soon? It had only been a few days.
Under normal circumstances, these things will be spread around. But this time, it was too fast. Even if people knew that Li Dong had gone to Shenzhen to negotiate with Tencent, no one expected both parties to announce the restructuring on the 15th.
… …
Not long after the restructuring plan was announced, Far Away once again announced the new financing plan to the capital institutions.
Of course, this time, it was an internal matter and was not announced to the public.
After all, the previous restructuring plan had caused quite a commotion. Even if Far Away had a reason to do so, there was no need for them to slap themselves in the face.
When they saw the new plan, many people started cursing.
Liu Qing, who was currently the Executive Director of Goldman Sachs in the Asia Pacific region, called Liu Chuanzhi and complained. "Dad, Li Dapao is crazy! He used 300 million shares to raise 2 billion USD and then used it to buy back Tencent's 700 million shares. He is too good at doing business! "
These two were equivalent, and the value of both parties' shares was actually the same.
But Far Away was doing this. They used 300 million shares to raise funds to exchange for Tencent's 700 million shares.
Anyone who saw this plan would definitely curse out loud.
Liu Chuanzhi laughed. "If you want to enter, then agree. If you don't want to, then it's up to you. He can use 300 million shares to exchange for 700 million shares. That's him. He is the winner and the leader. You guys are not. If he wants to eat the meat, you guys can just follow him and drink the soup. It is not that easy to eat the meat with him. "
Far Away's plan was very good. Without an investment bank, it was useless.
The key was, would no one enter?
As for Tencent's shares, Li Dong wanted to buy them because this was a prerequisite for the restructuring.
But others did not have the ability to buy them.
As for the secondary market, there were small transactions, but there were no transactions of more than 100,000 shares!
Hoping to make money from the secondary market was a joke.
Currently, the only way to enter Tencent was from Far Away.
It was up to them to enter or not to enter.
Hearing his father's words, Liu Qing could not help but sigh. "I always feel that it is very easy for him to make money. He just needs to open his mouth, and someone will give him money to acquire Tencent. Far Away only contributed a little in the early stage, and they do not need to do anything in the later stage."
Liu Chuanzhi reprimanded. "You have to think before you speak! Both parties fought with hundreds of billions worth of assets, and if they lose, they will lose tens of billions. Now that they have reaped the rewards, they deserve it. "
The battle between Tencent and Distance was a gamble with over 100 billion yuan worth of assets. They were betting on the outcome of the battle.
Without this capital investment, there would be no return.
Now that the war was over, it was impossible for investment banks to enjoy the same treatment as Far Away.
Liu Qing could not hold back and said this. When his father reprimanded him, Liu Qing immediately said. "Dad, that is not what I meant. I am just a little envious. Don't scold me. Go and ask around. Who is not envious of Li Dong now? Forget it. I need to make some preparations. I am afraid that the suspension of Tencent will not last long. There will be a financing meeting on the 18th, and I need to prepare immediately. Dad, are you coming then? "
"Yes. The Association Holding also has this investment intention. We will go together. I have a good relationship with Li Dong and Ma Huateng. This time, both of them fought fiercely, and I was also in a difficult position. Now that both of them have reconciled, we don't have to be in a difficult position anymore … "
"Dad, is this reconciling? You are really good at finding words. "Liu Qing did not know whether to laugh or cry. His father was really good at bullsh * tting. This is called reconciling?
After the restructuring, although Ma Huateng did not suffer too much losses, he still lost Tencent. How can a little money make up for it?
However, this might be the best ending. Otherwise, if both parties continued to fight, Ma Huateng might end up worse than now.
…
Liu Qing and the others in the investment bank scolded Li Dong for being black-hearted, but the netizens applauded.
"That's great. Far Away and Tencent have merged. Does that mean we don't have to choose in the future?"
"QQ will not be restricted either. This is the best. Wechat, QQ, PP … all these things can be used freely in the future. After all, we are all from the same company."
"Brother Pao is still the best. He directly got it for himself."
"…"
There were applauding voices, but there were also many cursing voices. Someone said hatefully, "This is totally making fun of us users! When they fought, they let us choose one of the two. Now that they have reconciled, let us choose one of the two again if you can! "
"Capital is so disgusting! One moment they change their attitude, the next moment they change. If this happens again, I will not use all of Far Away's products anymore! "
"Don't mention it. This time, Far Away has monopolized it. You can't not use it in the future even if you want to."
"…"
Whether it was cursing or applauding, the power of netizens was sometimes strong, but sometimes it was not worth mentioning.
At least at this time, whether these netizens agreed or not, they could not change the attitude of the two parties.
…
Shenzhen City.
Far Away's negotiations with Tencent had also reached the final stage.
In the conference room, Ma Huateng stared at Li Dong and frowned. "Didn't you say you were not coming?"
Li Dong laughed. "Anyway, it has come to this, it doesn't make a difference.
Alright, let's not talk nonsense.
Whether it is a restructuring or something else, before the plan is carried out, the debts that need to be settled still have to be settled.
Tencent owed Far Away 2 billion RMB. This will not disappear after the restructuring, nor will it forget this debt. These are two different things.
However, Tencent obviously can't afford to pay back the money.
Before the restructuring, let's straighten out the accounts. You don't have the money to pay back the 2 billion RMB, use something to offset it. "
Ma Huateng gritted his teeth. "What do you want?"
"Tencent's Weibo and Tenpay."
"What a big appetite!"
Weibo was still fine. Since it had been merged, Tencent's Weibo was not doing well to begin with. If it was handed over to Far Away and merged with Far Away's Weibo, it would not be a problem.
But Tenpay, Li Dong actually wanted to take it away?
Even though they were about to start the restructuring and the plan had been settled, using Tenpay to offset the debt was actually not a loss to Ma Huateng.
But to Tencent, losing the internet payment business was definitely an unbearable loss!
Ma Huateng said firmly. "This is impossible. If you really take it away, Tencent's value will be greatly reduced. This is irresponsible to the shareholders and all the investors!
Also, do you really want to put all your eggs in one basket?
There are a lot of people eyeing Tencent now. If you put Tenpay under Tencent, it will be big trouble in the future if there is a problem.
It is better to separate it now and establish two systems. This way, it will not attract attention and fear.
Even if Tencent holds 49% of the market share and Tenpay holds 49%, it sounds better than Tencent holding 98%.
Even if everyone knows that they are from the same company, it will not be as glaring as 98%.
It was not easy to get the license. Are you really going to waste it? "
Li Dong chuckled. "That makes sense. Alright, Tenpay can stay, but Tencent's Weibo is not worth 2 billion. I don't ask for much. I just want to transfer some technology and patents, including some talents. Just treat it as offsetting the debt. Is that alright? "
Ma Huateng snorted. Although Tencent will also be Far away in the future, as a listed company, it is financially independent. It was not something that Li Dong said could be settled just by sharing some things with Tencent for free with Far away Technology.
When the time comes, those who should pay will pay, and those who should earn will earn.
As for Tencent's listing, although Li Dong holds more shares, it is not 100%.
How could it be more cost-effective than transferring the goods to Distance Technology? On Distance Technology's side, other than Weibo's financing, Wan Tong had not received financing yet. Li Dong also owned 90% of the shares in the Mall. Of course, it was more cost-effective to transfer the goods to Wan Tong.
Ma Huateng understood all this. But owing money is a fact. It is impossible to renege on the debt.
Li Dong's left hand is right hand, so there is no need for him to take it seriously.
Ma Huateng sighed. "Do whatever you want. As long as the value is equal, I have no objections. But it is impossible to underestimate the value of Tencent's business. As for the detailed proposal, let them discuss it. I will not bother about it. Also, my resignation letter has been submitted to the board of directors. Quickly complete the handover. I want to go out and relax. "
Li Dong chuckled. "What's the rush? I did not say I am stopping you. But as the leader of Tencent, you have to figure out the situation before you leave.
Also, I thought about it a few days ago. I think the smartphone market will continue to flourish in the future.
No matter how the mobile internet changes, it cannot be separated from the terminal, right?
Go and get a terminal too. Now, people are not playing with products but with concepts. Even a layman like Lei Jun is doing it. It should not be a problem for you to do it.
I have already thought of a name for it. Call it Rice. Who doesn't eat rice? Don't you agree?
We will still have opportunities to work together in the future. We can work together on your sales channels and binding contracts. This is a trillion-dollar business … "
Ma Huateng glared at him. Rice my ass!
Do you think I don't know Lei Jun is making Xiaomi?
You want me to make Rice? F * * k, it sounds like you are deliberately disgusting me. This bastard. Don't you want things to blow up?
Ma Huateng could not be bothered with him. He got up and said, "This matter ends here. I will not be going to the reception on the 18th. Do whatever you want. It has nothing to do with me. Also, I want to tell you that there are a lot of technical staff who have submitted their resignation letters. I was too busy the past few days and did not manage it. Be careful. "
Li Dong chuckled. "It's fine. Let's go. Actually … I still find it hard to make arrangements for some people.
After all, these are two complete teams. Although they complement each other, there is still a lot of wastage.
It's good that Ali and the rest are helping us solve the pressure.
As for those who hold shares, don't forget to leave their shares behind. Strictly follow the contract. Don't talk to me about old friendships. This is their own choice. I did not force them.
If someone is willing to poach some of the management, that will be for the best. It will leave some empty spots for me.
What a pity. Everyone knows that the future Far away Tencent is a golden signboard, but no one is willing to leave … "
"Far away Tencent?"
Ma Huateng, who was about to get up, suddenly sat down and said with a dark face, "You want to change your name?"
Li Dong smiled. "Tencent hasn't changed. Do you believe that adding Far away to it will add a few billion? There's no need to care too much about it. Everyone is used to it. Shortening it to Tencent is the same. "
"You …"
Ma Huateng gritted his teeth in anger. He got up and pushed his chair. "Do whatever you want. I have something to do. I won't entertain you anymore!"
After saying that, Ma Huateng walked out of the meeting room.
Li Dong, this bastard! He went back on his words!
Previously, he said that he would retain as much Tencent as possible. Now, it became Far away Tencent. Damn it. I must be crazy to believe him!
At this time, the restructuring had already entered the process. If I don't agree to it because of a name, not only the shareholders and netizens, even the Tencent side will rebel.
Moreover, Far away is not changing its name directly. Adding a prefix to it is understandable.
After all, Far away's assets will also be merged. He has to take care of the feelings of the people Far away. Ma Huateng was angry, but he could not reject it.
…
The matter of changing the name seemed insignificant in the midst of the reorganization.
Even if the Tencent name is changed, Ma Huateng can't do anything to Li Dong.
After the restructuring announcement, Li Dong did not leave Shenzhen immediately.
He also chose to hold the financing talks in Shenzhen. After all, Tencent is here.
On the afternoon of the 15th, Hong Kong stocks closed at 55 HKD. Tencent closed at 55 HKD.
55 HKD is not a low price. Far Away used 300 million shares to raise 2 billion USD. In fact, the unit price per share is more than 50 HKD.
Even the financing is at this price. Hong Kong stocks closed at 55 HKD. In everyone's opinion, there is still a lot of room for appreciation.
On the 16th, Hong Kong stocks closed, and Tencent is officially suspended. It will no longer be traded next Monday.
On the weekend, others are busy discussing the details with Tencent and preparing for the financing talks. On the other hand, Li Dong has nothing to do.
As the frontier of reform and opening up, Shenzhen's economy is much more developed than Pingchuan. There are also many man-made tourist attractions.
Since Li Dong has nothing to do, and his hotel is very close to the Window of the World, he spent the next two days wandering around.
…
While Li Dong is wandering around, someone is not relaxed.
Far Away defeated Tencent and reaped the biggest war bonus.
After the financing, Li Dong's personal wealth will increase again. This is not even after the listing.
Forbes, who just launched the real-time rich list, is really busy this time. They have to calculate Li Dong's wealth.
Now that Li Dong's wealth is relatively clear, if it is not clear and he has a little more USD than the world's richest man, people will definitely be unhappy. No matter how happy Forbes and Li Dong's cooperation is, they can't really joke around with their credibility.
Therefore, before the financing starts, Forbes began to make preparations.
After Far Away's financing ends, they will update the rich list as soon as possible.
As for whether it will rise or fall, it depends on the situation.
If it really falls, Li Dong will lose the throne of the world's richest man, and no one can be blamed. Moreover, after Li Dong defeated Tencent, the impact of losing this position is not that big.
Forbes' people began to get busy and began to do detailed statistics.
As for Li Dong, he received a call from the other party while wandering around, but he did not say much.
Actually, he did not want to resort to trickery.
But he needed such a big reputation to support him previously. Compared to losing to Tencent, fraud is nothing.
When the big-nosed man on the other side of the phone said that the lawsuit should be over, Li Dong was a little surprised and said, "The previous lawsuit can be ended, but the problem of the name is a matter of principle. This matter can't be ended with it. You have registered the wrong name. How careless is that? You should at least show some form of apology, right? "
"…"
Steve Forbes on the other side of the phone had the urge to curse, but he did not know how to curse. Otherwise, he would really curse a few times!
After casually saying a few words to Li Dong, Steve, who hung up the phone, said hatefully, "This time, we must do detailed and real statistics, let this damn guy fall from the top ten, and let the whole world know that he is the biggest liar!"
Although he said that, Steve also knew that the possibility of Li Dong falling from the top ten was very low.
According to some previous detailed statistics, even if Li Dong lost first place, he should not fall from the top three.
