Chapter 64: Pie in the Sky vs. Luring the Wolf into the House
“Aren’t we successful enough?”
“Why don’t you believe in someone who has already succeeded?”
“ Li Dongling will regret today’s choice for the rest of his life!”
Li Wenjun’s angry words at the entrance of Dongling High-tech Office Building were quickly reported by major media, and then the reason why Li Wenjun was so angry was also exposed by the media. out.
In other words, there was no need for the media to pick up the matter. Someone within the Stone Group broke the news to the media about the purpose of Li Wenjun's visit to Tanglin Hi-tech Capital this time.
Subsequently, more shocking news was revealed, such as Stone Group spending as much as 300 million to acquire Dongling Hi-tech and help Dongling Hi-tech complete its listing, etc., each piece of breaking news was revealed by the media. Caused an uproar.
In addition, Stone Group was the reason why the Hong Kong stock market was listed, and news media reports caused the stock price of Stone Group to fluctuate.
News reports from Hong Kong media use headlines that are even more eye-catching: “Sitong Group intends to acquire the Mouse King for HK$280 million”, “Mouse King Li Dongling will enter the mainland’s richest list” ” and so on, the headlines started to appear.
Sitong Group’s high-priced acquisition of Donglin Hi-Tech was already very interesting. As soon as the news came out, many people thought that Stone Group was too risky. The acquisition price of 300 million Although it is somewhat famous, a technology company that has been established for less than a year is really too risky.
Of course, some people say that this is Duan Yongji’s keen eye. If it can acquire Dongling Hi-tech, Stone Group will have a banner of domestic technology brands in its hands. This banner will bring huge benefits to Stone Group. , will far exceed the 300 million spent.
If it were just the news above, although it can be called big news in the technology industry, it is not enough to completely detonate public opinion in China, Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia.
But Li Dongling refused the acquisition by Stone Group and even refused investment. This is so eye-catching!
That’s 300 million. How many people go their whole lives without eating or drinking, and they can’t earn even a fraction of this money. If you put it in the bank and charge interest, it’s enough to feed several generations. However, Li Dongling directly rejected it. .
Just rejecting the acquisition, not even accepting the investment, was still the case when Stone Group proposed that it could help Dongling Hi-Tech to complete the listing. This made many people feel incredible, and even thought that Li Dongling was the one The feeling of being on the wrong side!
Listing, not to mention listing on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq, whether it is listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange or Big A, how many domestic companies want to get in at all costs, and now a company may define the criteria for a person's success. What is it, then completing the listing is one of the hard-core standards, or even one of them!
“Li Dongling did miss an opportunity. I admit that Dongling Hi-Tech may be one of the most dynamic technology companies in China at present, but if it cannot be listed, there will be no support from a large company like Stone Group. How long can it sustain the impact of foreign brands?
This is not only a missed opportunity for Donglin Hi-Tech, but also a missed opportunity for the domestic technology brand Silver Sable Mouse! ”
On the financial channel of Central Media Channel 2, the invited guests were discussing today's hottest news. A professor from the School of Finance and Economics of a local university in Yanjing was criticizing Li Dongling fiercely. Although he did not say it explicitly, his words The meaning is very clear, that is, rejecting Stone Group's acquisition and investment was definitely a wrong choice made by Li Dongling.
“I often tell my employees that character determines destiny!”
As an invited guest in the TV station studio, he was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and wore gold-rimmed glasses. The sign on the front showed that Qian Wanshan was the owner of an investment consulting company. The label on his body was also a well-known investment consultant in China, which meant paid advice. The kind of person who makes money.
“I have not had any contact with Mr. Li Dongling, but we can also see Mr. Li’s character from the lawsuit between Dongling Hi-Tech and Microsoft and the rejection of Stone Group’s acquisition this time. I want to say, Just after being easy to break, impulsiveness, arrogance, and arrogance will make people fall off the cliff like an out-of-control car."
Compared to that professor, Qian Wanshan is much more straightforward. , which means that Li Dongling was blinded by the previous lawsuit with Microsoft, so much so that even giants like Stone Group looked down upon it.
Now is an era where success is the only thing. This phenomenon will last for more than ten or even decades. As long as a person is successful and his net worth is high enough, no matter what he says or how weird his views are, he will be criticized. People interpret and then become popular.
Now, between the two companies, Dongling Hi-Tech and Stone, the result is obvious, which one is more successful. Li Wenjun’s words, Stone Group has been so successful, why don’t you still believe Stone’s words? In this era, there is really nothing wrong with it, it is even the mainstream view,
We can tell from the direction of public opinion at this moment. After the news was reported, from the media to outside public opinion, most people thought that Li Dongling refused Sitong, which was too pretentious and did not even realize that the sky was high.
"Mr. Duan, this time I..."
Li Wenjun, who returned to Yanjing, had a look of shame on his face when he met Duan Yongji. He thought that when he went to Pingyang to discuss acquisitions and investments with Li Li Dongling, he would basically have everything he needed and would come back with a credit, but who knew that he actually hit a snag.
Facing Li Wenjun, the vice chairman of Sitong and his confidant on the board of directors, Duan Yongji behaved very magnanimously without any intention of getting angry. Instead, he persuaded Li Wenjun, "Wenjun, this time Thank you for your hard work. I can’t blame you for this. Who would have thought that I would meet such a stupid person?”
"Young people, if you haven't been beaten a few times, how can you know that the sky is high and the earth is high? When you hit your head and bleed, you will know who is the one who is really good for you!"
Duan Yongji He picked up the tea set, made a cup of tea for Li Wenjun, and said calmly, as if this matter was not important at all.
“However, young people should sometimes learn a lesson. In the future, our domestic companies and agents of Stone, including the companies we cooperate with, will still be You have to be more careful!”
When Duan Yongji said this, he was ordinary, but in Li Wenjun’s ears, he knew that this was Stone Group’s plan to target Dongling Hi-Tech, not just Stone. The group, the companies, dealers, agents, etc. that cooperate with Sitong must refuse to cooperate with Donglin Hi-Tech and refuse to sell Donglin Hi-Tech's products.
With Sitong’s size and influence in the country, if we really say that we are going to target Dongling Hi-tech, then we have to consider whether other companies will cooperate with Dongling Hi-tech, and even the distribution in computer cities in various places. Merchants have to think about whether they will risk offending Sitong by selling Donglin Hi-Tech's products. Even the banks are probably a bit wary of it.
Duan Yongji needs to respond. If he doesn't establish his authority, in the future, anyone will dare to contradict him and use him as a stepping stone to become famous. How unbecoming!
In Pingyang, Luo Junwu, who saw the news reports in the newspaper, could not help but feel regretful when he saw that Li Dongling rejected Sitong's cooperation. If Dongling Hi-Tech could complete the listing with Sitong, it would be really great. It can be regarded as the largest technology company in Binh Duong City. During his tenure, a listed private technology company appeared, which is definitely a highlight for Luo Junwu's resume!
Picked up the phone at hand and wanted to call Dongling Hi-Tech Company, but when Luo Junwu pressed the number, he took back his hand.
Sitong Group has been rejected by Li Dongling. Calling Li Dongling at this time will no longer help. If there is still a gap with Li Dongling, or even Dongling Hi-Tech moves away, then it will be called a loss outweighing the gains. Luo Junwu In the end, all he could do was slap his thigh and sigh.
Yao Zhengru also saw the news reports, but unlike Luo Junwu’s sigh, Yao Zhengru looked at the news reports. Not only did he not sigh and be disappointed that Li Dongling rejected Stone Group, but he was a little surprised by Li Dongling’s courage. He felt that Li Dongling might have some back-up plan to refuse the olive branch offered by Sitong.
Yao Zhengru has been in contact with Li Dongling several times, and he often hears Yao Luoying mention Li Dongling. He knows what kind of character Li Dongling is. He will not fight an uncertain battle and dares to refuse the huge acquisition proposed by Stone Group. He must be confident. Dongling firmly believes that in the future The value of high-tech may be far more than the 300 million yuan...
The outside world is still talking about it, but for the insiders of Donglin High-tech, the shock is even greater.
Li Dongling is the absolute majority shareholder of Dongling Hi-tech. No one within Tangling Hi-tech can object to what he decides. There is not much discussion about Li Dongling's rejection of Dongling Hi-tech Stone's acquisition. On the contrary There has been constant discussion about the valuation of Tanglin Hi-Tech.
From the top management, such as Hu Xian, Yao Luoying, Zhang Ao, Peng, Chen Tao, to supervisors and employees, they will inevitably speculate that the valuation of Dongling Hi-Tech has reached this point. Will it be improved in the future?
One day, Dongling Hi-Tech will really go public, can they get equity rewards and become 100,000 or even millionaires, like Stone and others that just listed on the Hong Kong stock market this year? At Lenovo, the value of management has more than doubled, and ordinary employees have received bonuses.
Li Dongling didn't pay attention to all the comments, but entered the laboratory again to develop the electronic pet machine as soon as possible.
As for rejecting Stone Group’s acquisition and investment, whether it is a loss or a setback, only time will prove. At this time, whether it is regret or refutation of Stone Group in the media, it will only be criticized. What's the point of wasting your saliva if you treat it as incompetent and furious, and be ridiculed by others?
But now accepting investment from Stone Group is not necessarily a good thing. Let’s not say that Tanglin Hi-Tech is not yet completely short of money. It is short of money. Stone Group’s money is so easy to get. of?
There is no pie-in-the-sky thing in this world. If you are asking for interest, what they want is your principal!
Although Li Wenjun said that the Stone Group is willing to agree to so many conditions, after the investment, it will not participate in the management of Tanglin Hi-Tech, and will not interfere in personnel, finance, etc., but it may not be possible if it really invests, especially When the gap in strength between the two sides is large, it is likely to attract not investors but a hungry wolf!
