   Chapter 1498 Pick up cheap

   "I personally have no opinion on the acquisition of Kangsheng Creation by the domestic holding group!"

   The next day, Zhou Hongyi wearing a red polo shirt appeared in the conference room of Kangsheng Creation Company. When Dai Zhikang asked shareholders for their opinions on the sale of the company, Zhou Hongyi was the first to show support.

  Xia Jingxing also attended the shareholders meeting on behalf of Vision Capital. When he swept his gaze to Zhou Hongyi, the other party was also looking at him.

   "Mr. Xia, I'm not talking about you. We are a small family. It's rare for us to do business with you once. Are you also a bit more aggressive? Just make up the whole thing and buy Kangsheng Creation for 100 million US dollars."

Hearing this, Dai Zhikang lowered his head a little embarrassedly. Yesterday, Xia Jingxing quoted a purchase price of 50 million US dollars. He basically agreed with the valuation and did not have much objection, because Kangsheng Creative is really not making money, and it is not easy to go public. Not much hope.

   Now that Zhou Hongyi directly doubled the purchase price, it would inevitably make Xia Jingxing feel uncomfortable.

However, Xia Jingxing was not so stingy, not angry, instead he smiled and quarreled with Zhou Hongyi: "If it was my private acquisition, I would make up the whole thing, but there are so many shareholders in Haili Holdings, as long as the acquisition price is slightly higher If you lift it up a bit, some people will think that I am engaging in benefit transmission."

   Zhou Hongyi smiled without saying a word. In fact, he just said it casually. If Xia always agrees enough, then he will make a lot of money.

   But Mr. Xia is obviously still the original Mr. Xia, who is stingy, and no one wants to take advantage of him.

   "Well, $10 million, $60 million sounds auspicious."

   Zhou Hongyi's eyes lit up. Did the sun hit the west today? Iron **** also started to lose hair?

Xia Jingxing smiled slightly and saw the expressions of Zhou Hongyi, Dai Zhikang and others in his eyes. The $50 million was originally just his first round of quotations. Now it has been raised a little bit, which exceeded everyone's psychological expectations. It should be felt by all shareholders. Satisfied.

   Morningside Capital's partner Liu Qin smiled and said: "Morningside has no opinion, but we have a small suggestion. I hope Mr. Xia can change the acquisition method to "cash + stock"."

   Looking at Xia Jingxing's look at him, Liu Qin explained, "Morningside Capital has just entered the mainland market, and I hope there will be a benchmark case."

Xia Jingxing instantly understood that the other party wanted to become a shareholder of Domestic Holdings, and then Morningside Capital could declare to the outside world that it was a "well-known VC" invested in China Domestic Holdings, and it could be used in subsequent fundraising and investment actions. LPs and entrepreneurs.

Speaking of Morningside Capital, it should be regarded as one of the earliest investment institutions in China. It was established as early as the 1980s, but it was not founded by mainlanders, but a private company founded by the Chen brothers of Hong Kong Hang Lung Group. An investment company, a bit like a family office.

However, these two brothers are much stronger than other Hong Kong Island tycoons who only focus on real estate business. They not only made their main business plazas, theme parks and other businesses prosperous, but also invested in Morningside, which was established in the mainland as the largest LP. Capital, and the word Morningside is also the brand of their family company.

   Morningside Capital in the previous life has invested in many unicorn companies such as Kuaishou, Dami, Lianjia, etc. It can be regarded as a well-known first-line venture capital in the industry, and has several investment cases with returns of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of RMB.

   And the Chen family of Hang Lung Group, as the largest LP of the institution, the money earned by investing in mainland technology companies may be worth the money that other real estate giants on Hong Kong Island have built for decades. It is definitely a hidden wealthy family.

  Xia Jingxing pondered for a moment, then said with a smile: "Well, cash or stock, it is up to the shareholders of Kangsheng Creation to choose freely. After negotiating, report the plan to Domestic Holdings."

   All shareholders were satisfied with the purchase price and transaction method reported by Xia Jingxing, so they quickly voted to approve the company's sale proposal.

   After the meeting, Zhou Hongyi did not leave in a hurry, but took the initiative to invite Xia Jingxing to a private restaurant in the Hutong for a meal.

  In the box, after three rounds of drinking, Zhou Hongyi, whose face was flushed, couldn't hold back any longer, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Xia, I'm ready to do it!"

  Xia Jingxing pretended not to understand, glanced at the sumptuous delicacies on the table, and said, "Do it? What hand do you use? You don't need chopsticks, do you use your hands?"

   Zhou Hongyi's momentum that had been brewing for a long time was directly broken by these words, and she laughed dumbly: "You know, Penguin! They are getting more and more excessive now, and I can't bear it any longer."

   "How excessive is it?"

  Xia Jingxing clasped his hands and made a look of listening intently.

   Zhou Hongyi sighed, raised the glass, raised his neck and drank the wine, and then began to tell a story.

   probably means that Po Nima is shameless, plagiarized 360 without admitting it or saying it, and dressed himself up as a victim.

  Xia Jingxing quietly acted as an audience member and did not express his opinion.

   "It's just plagiarism from us, anyway, in the past few battles, it's not us who lost.

   What I'm really worried about now is that Bonima doesn't give up and continues to hide in the dark and play tricks. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled lightly, "So you plan to strike first?"

   Zhou Hongyi nodded first, then shook his head, "There is a meaning in this regard, but the generalization is not comprehensive.

  My real idea is that 360 will join forces with Domestic Holdings to form a pair of business alliances to compete with Penguin. "

  Xia Jingxing was a little surprised, thinking that I didn't take the initiative to ask you to discuss how to deal with the penguins, you are in a hurry first?

   "What do you want to do?" Xia Jingxing asked calmly.

   "Penguin relies on QQ, which has a huge number of users. No matter what new products are launched, they use QQ to promote them.

   The same is true for the QQ Doctor and QQ Computer Butler they launched in the past.

  I think WeChat can do the same, and embed 360 Security Guard directly into WeChat products. As soon as the user logs in to WeChat, 360 Security Guard will be automatically activated and enter the state of network security protection. "

   "It's not good, it doesn't give users the right to choose, I'm afraid it will arouse users' disgust."

   Zhou Hongyi waved his hand, "Mr. Xia, you need to worry too much about this. The user's adaptability is quite strong! Because I have verified it countless times in the past ten years."

   The corners of Xia Jingxing's mouth twitched when he smiled, listening to your tone, he was quite proud!

   "Mr. Xia, you really don't have to worry too much. Penguin does the same. Doctor QQ was forced to install by Penguin at the beginning of the year, but what did the user say?

   If it wasn't for our timely response, and the rush of QQ doctor to launch the product, the product is not mature, maybe we would have been planted in the ditch that time. "

   Zhou Hongyi looked like he had lingering fears. It could be seen that he was really afraid of penguins.

  Xia Jingxing thought for a moment and said, "Let's slow down this matter for a while, until the number of users of WeChat officially exceeds 100 million, and we initially gain a firm foothold in the industry. Besides, the products are too immature now, and we can't take any risks."

   Zhou Hongyi nodded slightly, Xia Jingxing's refusal was not what he expected, in fact he didn't even think about it once and succeeded in the negotiation, Xia Jingxing was willing to give a letter of approval that "break through 100 million users", which has already satisfied him.

   "You have finished listening to your plan, do you want to listen to my plan now?"

   Zhou Hongyi smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'm worried that there is no expert guidance."

  Xia Jingxing laughed, "My plan is very simple, that is, our two companies will join forces to attack, so that Penguin will be exhausted, and he will not care about his head."

   "How to implement it?" Zhou Hongyi asked.

   "Next month at the latest, Penguin will definitely launch new products as a counterattack against WeChat.

The mission of   Hinai Holdings is to hit this new product hard and attract most of Penguin's attention.

   Then 360 can take the opportunity to go around behind the penguins and launch a surprise attack on their security products to avoid future troubles. "

   "Good! This plan is good!"

   Zhou Hongyi slammed the table and said excitedly: "Penguin is ambitious, and wants to get involved in any business. We want it to lose everything, and in the end, nothing can be achieved."

  Xia Jingxing chuckled, thinking that of course you think this plan is good, because WeChat is in the front to help you attract firepower, and 360 hides in the back to get a bargain.

   But is this "cheap" really that easy to pick up?
