Chapter 930: 3 letters of intent

Just when the outside world paid attention to the battle between distant places and Carrefour. . The fastest update
On April 18th, Distant Technology, which has been silent this year except for the announcement of financing, finally made a noise.
On April 18th, Yuanfang Mall, pp, Weibo, and Wantong finally broke through the barriers, and the four businesses can be used on the 1st.
GM No. 1, this is what Li Dong has long requested.
However, with the increase of remote services and the increase of users, the original data center is not enough to provide such services for remote locations.
Before the new data center is built, the far end can only choose to rent the telecommunications id service.
With the id service support from the telecommunications side, the distant place finally has enough ability to break through the barriers.
For the first time, the four major business accounts were interconnected.
As if fearing that everyone wasn't surprised enough yet, Faraway Technology announced that Faraway Video officially won the right to broadcast the Olympic Games.
Of course, it is only the right to broadcast, and the right to monocast is definitely impossible.
In addition, Yuanfang Mall will merge with Wanjia.com to formally open the o2o market and further expand its online and offline businesses.
Not all of the above.
Distant Technology has held back for several months, except for one battle with Taobao at the end of last year.
In the past few months, Yuanyuan has been investing in Yuanyuan Technology. Naturally, there is no such thing.
At the same time, Yuanfang Technology also announced that from May 1st, the mobile terminals of pp and Weibo will be officially launched.
As for the mall, the current mobile phones and networks are not supported.
The mobile terminal went online, the remote mall merged with Wanjia.com, the four major business accounts are common, and won the Olympic broadcast rights ...
Far-off technology is nothing but a blockbuster.
Of course, laymen watch lively, laymen watch the doorway.
During the period when Yuanfang Technology announced the financing, there was so much noise that Li Dong was clearly dissatisfied.
He was telling major investment banks that he was impatient.
If it drags on further, it is unlikely that the far side will continue to choose financing, just like last year.
Last year, the overall valuation of Distant Technology was only in the early US $ 2 billion, which directly doubled in half a year.
If you drag on again, Li Dong may not be willing to double.
...
Li Dong is indeed dissatisfied.
These investment banks are too cautious, and he is a little irritable and impatient.
From the announcement of financing in early March, more than a month has passed.
In mid-March, he gave a limit of 30 billion yuan.
By mid-April, these institutions were still wandering and waiting.
Li Dong knows what they are waiting for, when the distant place has no money, and when the distant place bows its head to ask for help, then they can obtain greater benefits.
Is it more than RMB 30 billion?
Not much at all, it is only 4.2 billion U.S. dollars when converted into US dollars, and the quotation of Weibo alone exceeds 1 billion U.S. dollars.
The two major businesses of Yuanfang Mall and pp offer quotations that can exceed US $ 3 billion.
You should know that the mall and pp are not in the incubation period or the seed period, and are now in the mature stage.
Even if you do n’t backdoor listing, the mall and pp launched on May 1, 2006, and you will be able to go public in another year.
A company that is not close to going public at this time chooses financing at this time, it is reasonable that it should be robbed.
Even if the two major businesses in the distance failed to be the first, the potential is not low. After the mall merged with Wanjia, it may even overtake Taobao.
In this case, is $ 3 billion really appropriate?
Li Dong is too lazy to spend time with them. He now understands that catching up is not a business.
The remote financing was not successful this time, on the one hand, because of the poor market environment, and on the other hand, Li Dong ’s signs of lack of money from the outside world were too obvious.
Far away spend money like running water, just borrowed 10 billion last year, and chose financing for half a year. Obviously, I told others that I was short of money and very short of money.
At this time, the investment bank naturally has to squeeze.
But they don't understand Li Dong. In Li Dong's view, time is money.
If these people feel happier and happier, at this time the financing is completed quickly, let them get a little cheap Li Dong admitted.
But these people have repeatedly delayed the time, let Li Dong missed many opportunities, even Li Dong has gone out to borrow money, these people are still squeezing, he stopped!
As soon as the front foot announced the news, Li Dong asked Sun Tao to announce new financing plans to major investment banks.
The three major businesses of malls, pp, and Weibo do not accept unified quotations nor unified financing.
The meaning is, three major businesses, this time Li Dong will open a talk!
Okay, you guys are n’t looking down, I will not talk about the mall and pp, let ’s talk about Weibo first!
There are more than 100 million registered users on Weibo, as many as 20 million daily active users, more than 25 million Weibo posts per day, and 50 million advertising revenue in the first quarter of 2008.
50 million does not seem to be much, and monthly revenue is less than 20 million.
Don't forget, how long did Weibo go online and how long was it established?
In such a short period of time, the remote Weibo has found an entry point and realized profit, what is this concept!
No one will refute a well-deserved boss in China.
The second child is dismissed, can the boss take it?
And apart, everyone has the strength to enter.
The previous three items are added together, and the value is too high. Some small and medium-sized institutions have no chance of quotation, and they are completely monopolized by several major investment banks.
Now Li Dong gives others the opportunity, the more competitors, the greater the benefit for the enterprise.
Li Dong didn't think about this before, but at that time he wanted a quick battle, a one-time fix, and a one-time payment to the account to help him.
But now the time has been delayed, Li Dong is not willing to cheap those guys.
...
Yuanfang Building.
The new financing plan was released, which means that major institutions should restart quotation and start competition.
I talked about more than a month before, almost all of them are wasting time.
Sun Tao was tired and choked these days, tired and said: "Several major investment banks are very dissatisfied, thinking that we are deceiving them, we need to give them an explanation.
Li Dong coldly hummed: "Explain what? It's a good thing I didn't ask them to explain!"
I knew that financing was not going well. Why should I waste time with them and how much I was delayed.
You tell them that this financing is the last chance, even if they do n’t want to enter, even if there is financing in the future, they will be blacklisted from afar!
This year, investment banks are not the only ones.
When the financial crisis comes, the market environment is not good, but this is also an opportunity.
How many financial oligarchs who dare not invest in it can't spend it on their hands.
Besides, the market environment is good, 30 billion people want to enter distant technology, almost dreaming. "
Sun Tao smiled wryly, this time the financing is getting more and more complicated.
While the two were chatting, Bai Su knocked on the door.
Seeing Li Dong, Bai Su whispered: "Mr. Li, I just received several letters of intent from the financing project team."
Li Dong glanced at Sun Tao. Sun Tao shook his head and said: "The plan has just been announced to the outside world. I don't know who cast it."
However, both of them understood that the speed was so fast, and that Bai Su had to report quickly. It was definitely not a general organization.
Li Dong asked: "Who cast the letter of intent?"
Bai Su did not speak, but handed over several letters of intent to Li Dong.
Li Dong picked up the top copy and looked at it, and then he seemed a little acquainted: "horizonsventure investment fund?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Tao was a bit strange: "Mr. Li's private fund?"
Mr. Li in his mouth, of course, does not mean Li Dong.
But Li Dong immediately understood and was a little surprised: "Victoria Investment?"
"Well, I didn't expect a golden phoenix just after the business split," Sun Tao smiled and said: "It seems that Weibo is still more popular."
Of course, Sun Tao was not too strange and shocked.
Victoria Harbour Fund has been spreading on the Internet for several years. Lao Li's confidante helped him invest all over the world.
At the end of last year, the Victoria Harbour Fund also invested $ 60 million in aebook.
Now I'm fancy with domestic Weibo, it doesn't seem too strange.
Not surprisingly, it is not surprising that Sun Tao was still somewhat curious: "What price did Mr. Li give over there?"
He is the richest man in China and rich ... "
Li Dongbai gave him a glance, and Sun Tao was joking with himself.
Wealth is rich, but rich people are not fools, but their money is in vain.
As expected by Li Dong, the price given by Victoria Harbour is not too high, at US $ 1 billion.
In fact, this quotation has been exceeded in the following negotiations.
The current offer of 1 billion US dollars from Victoria Harbour is not worth exclaiming.
Li Dong tapped the table lightly and thought for a while: "General Sun, do you think you can talk?"
The quotation given by Victoria Harbour is not high, but who made Lao Li famous.
This time the money is not the main one, but the fame.
Borrowing the name of Lao Li to advertise, the effect should not be too bad.
Sun Tao and he thought the same, and nodded: "You can talk about it, but you can't sell too many shares. Just show the meaning and show that the other party is involved.
Otherwise, we will help them work. "
"This is the reason." Li Dong laughed: "It is indeed possible to talk, and the rhythm of the beginning is good.
Money is not the main one, I can accept 1 billion dollars, but it depends on the other party ’s appetite.
If they want too much, I will not agree. If there is less, I can talk about it. I need his name. He needs benefits. This is the best way to cooperate. "
Sun Tao nodded: "Then I will contact Victoria Harbour next."
"Huh." Li Dong smiled and said: "The first part gave me a surprise, then I want to see who the second part is."
With that said, Li Dong picked up the second document.
After a glance, Li Dong smiled and said: "It is indeed a surprise, guess who it is?"
Sun Tao smiled bitterly: "How to guess this, give some hints."
"Internet companies."
"Internet companies ..." Sun Tao thought for a while and his eyes lit up: "Baidu?"
"bingo!"
Li Dong didn't ask him how he guessed, but it's not difficult to guess.
There are only a few well-known Internet companies. Ali is unlikely to invest in distant places. Tencent is preparing to develop Weibo itself and will not invest in distant places.
Others may invest in a distant place, probably Baidu.
Last year, Far-Earth actually talked to Baidu, but then it fell apart.
Now that Baidu is actually interested in Weibo, Li Dong is not too surprised, but still somewhat happy: "Yes, a good gimmick for advertising.
Victoria Harbour and Baidu are both optimistic about Weibo, which is enough to publicize it.
Similarly, Baidu is not about money, but technical support. Baidu can talk more about it. "
Sun Tao nodded his understanding, and the distance always hoped to get Baidu's technical support and project cooperation.
As the largest search engine in China, Baidu's users far surpass Yuanyuan and Ali.
If you can really get technical support and drainage from Baidu, it does n’t matter if you do n’t make money on Weibo.
After reading the above two, Li Dong looked forward to the third one.
Bai Su gave three letters of intent in total, and the last one was certainly not worse than the first two.
After Li Dong opened the document and glanced at it, he shook his head and laughed: "Come on, this is interesting. I didn't expect Weibo to attract so many people.
From SoftBank, our three businesses are packaged, and they will not support the development of our mall.
But Weibo, there is no business conflict with the mall, and now after the split, Softbank actually came. "
In the past, the three remote businesses were packaged. In order not to affect Ali, Softbank did not make a move despite some perks.
Now Li Dong is going to break up the talk, and Softbank immediately thought about it.
Li Dong felt a little proud in his heart, but soon he heard Sun Tao shaking his head: "Softbank is not easy to talk about here."
"How to say?"
"Mr. Li, don't forget our purpose, the money raised is to be diverted to other projects.
What SoftBank wants is only Weibo, how can we agree to us to embezzle.
If we use the money in the mall or supermarket, the result is the same, the mall in the distance will only get stronger.
Even if it is replaced by other small investment institutions of Ali, both sides will make the same profit or loss.
Different from SoftBank, they have invested too much in Ali and are too involved.
They are reluctant to see our store up, so the money from the financing will only be used on Weibo. "
At this time, Li Dong was also sober and nodded, "It is indeed so, so, Softbank has no talk here?"
Sun Tao smiled and said: "It's still possible to talk, just tell you, even if the talk is not successful, you can make an advertisement.
Ali's largest investor ~ EbookFREE.me ~ has taken a fancy to us in the distance, you said, what will you think of this news?
Of course, let's not talk about Weibo. If the words are a little vague, others will think of the mall themselves. "
Li Dong smiled with his thumbs up: "Unexpectedly, you actually learn this set now, you can!"
Sun Tao couldn't help laughing, and Bai Su beside him also laughed.
After reading three letters of intent one after another, Li Dong is still in a good mood. No matter whether it succeeds or not, at least Weibo's fame will be completely ignited.
Victoria Harbour, Baidu, and Softbank are not fools, and their popularity is high. They are all optimistic about Weibo, does it mean that Weibo has a bright future.
Li Dong laughed for a while, and finally said: "Quick battle and quick decision, can't be delayed any longer, Carrefour is still waiting for money."
Sun Tao nodded hurriedly and resumed his true colors.
This time, I really can't delay it any longer. Li Dong will probably question his execution ability.
