"Everyone, I'm sorry, I have something to leave first."

Cao Guowei, the chairman of Sina, hurriedly left.Later, the proprietress of Jinyi Inn will also inform the big men present from the news that the reporters outside.For a time, the big guys in the house were a little quiet.

Mainly I don't know what to say.

As one of China's three major portals, Sina's change of control rights must certainly attract media attention.The reporters who were waiting outside just learned that the news from the other side of the Pacific caused shock.

On November 4th, Sina just held its 2016 shareholders meeting.The main thing is to distribute meager shares to Sina shareholders.The plan is to distribute 1 meager share for every 10 Sina shares held.

As a result, Sina's meager shareholding in Sina has dropped to 50.2%, and voting rights have dropped to 75%.

And is preparing to announce the third quarter financial report, the industry generally believes that Sina's stock price will rise.At this time, Sina's market value was approximately US$4.32 billion.

In other words, Jing Gao spent approximately US$2.2 billion to get Sina in his pocket.Of course, take control of Sina meager.This amount of funds is just a trivial matter to the Phoenix Fund, which is playing the "free month".

The night was getting darker, and the cold wind was blowing in the town in mid-November.The restaurant of Jinyi Inn is a bit quiet, which means "the food core is exhausted, and the dishes are messy".

Yang Zhiyuan, the founder of Yahoo, said in a puzzled way: "Is there any misunderstanding here? Charles has offended Jing Gao?" This is an obvious hostile takeover by Phoenix Fund.

Yang Zhiyuan was once a bigwig in the Internet arena.Yahoo was the number one Internet company in the United States by market value at the time!When he came to China, Ma Yun was an interpreter and accompanied him to climb the Great Wall.Of course, as the time goes to 2016, the aura on Yang's body gradually fades.

"Charles" is Cao Guowei's English name.

Lei Jun got up to pour himself tea, took a sip, and said, "It's not necessarily a misunderstanding. Mr. Yang, you can check it online now."

The others who knew the inside story shook their heads and sighed.

As a portal site, Sina was abandoned by netizens in 2016, and its traffic is not very high.The current market share of news clients are: Toutiao (42.8%), Tencent News (32.6%), Netease News, Sohu News.

But Sina controls a very important social media: Sina Weibo.Basically important information dissemination, apart from news websites, short video websites, and the official websites of major media, you have to look at Sina Weibo.

Some time ago and even recently, Sina Weibo rejected Phoenix Fund’s request to control comments.The reason is simple, Ali has a meager stake in Sina.To be more blunt, Sina meagerly has the wrong team.

Shen Nanpeng sighed silently.Some time ago, there was a rumor in the magic city about Ren Zhi: the prince was angry and turned the tide.This is a joke.He's a fart!Mr. Jing, this is the real Thunder Fury!

Judging from his limited contacts with Mr. Jing, Cao Guowei and his core team have to get out of Sina.

This is the price!

Their gang of venture capitalists don't know what Jing will always do.You have to save yourself, ask someone to ask Mr. Jing for mercy, and you can't just wait and die.Fortunately, they are funds, not listed companies.Otherwise, the end will be the same as President Cao.

Lenovo’s Yang Yuanqing shook his head and said, “The barbarian knocked! I think after we go back tonight, we will all see if our company’s controlling rights are secure.”

The others sighed.

Meituan CEO Wang Xing, who had just merged with Dianping, groaned and said nothing.He had a foreboding that the Phoenix Fund might be a formidable opponent.

Ying Shuling, CEO of Hero Interactive Entertainment, is a little worried.I heard that Mr. Jing bought a King Glory Club.There are rumors that Wang Dashao wants to conclude the alliance with Jing.Hero Mutual Entertainment cooperated with Tencent to kick Wang Dashao's China E-sports Club League.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the wine board is gone, everyone is not chatting. It is estimated that there are only two words in everyone's mind: Jing Gao.Ding Sanshi suggested: "Or let's withdraw. We will meet again next year."

"Row."

All the bigwigs left one after another.Good-tempered and in a good mood, they waved to the reporters who were still waiting at the door.

The smoke disappeared, and the wine game was over.This is the first time that the bigwigs of the Internet are aware of the Phoenix Fund’s head.Moreover, Mr. Jing jumped directly from a rookie to the position of a boss!Obviously, next year's "Wuzhen Liquor Bureau" he is qualified to have a drink.Cao Guowei is estimated to disappear in the arena.

Mr. Jing is not in the arena, and his legend has begun.

Ding Sanshi left as the host last, but he didn't have to worry about checkout and other matters, there was an assistant.

Ding Sanshi was fat and walked back to the hotel.Looking at the time, sitting at the window, he called Duan Yongping, his big brother in California, and said, "A Duan, do you know the news of Sina's change of ownership?"

Ding Sanshi is a native of Zhejiang Province, but NetEase is headquartered in Yangcheng.He stayed in Yangcheng all year round.Basically, people who have stayed in the south such as Yangcheng, Guancheng and other places know that their name for people is "A X".

Duan Yongping continued the phone call in his villa. After he arrived in the United States, his life was relatively simple, saying: "I didn't pay much attention to the Internet." His speaking style was relatively simple.Look at the problem very thoroughly.

Duan Yongping invested in NetEase that year because NetEase is not only a portal, but also a game company.Now the only two game giants in China are Tencent and NetEase.And he is very knowledgeable about games.

Ding Sanshi smiled and said: "Hey, we have a ruthless man in China. The name is Jing Gao. It is said to be an agent for foreign investment. He invested about 2.2 billion US dollars to acquire Sina. The reason is that Sina is meager and does not give him face. Do not delete posts."

Duan Yongping: "..."

Ding Sanshi said: "A Duan, he has entered the mobile phone industry now. I think that with his level and strength, he will contact you sooner or later. He made a very violent incident two days ago: he wants to thank the city. Huang brought a message to Ma Yun...

I plan to contact him."

He and Ma Yun didn't deal with it.The enemy's enemy may not be a friend, but it is not necessary to make contact first.

Duan Yongping listened calmly and said, "I see."

The night gradually faded, and the dawn of dawn shone dimly on the horizon.The small river in Wuzhen flows quietly.

People in the ancient houses with white walls and black tiles on both sides went out one after another.The Internet conference is still going on.The meeting time is from 16th to 18th.And last night's situation, news, and news spread in the town and on the Internet.

Jing Gao did not return to Wuzhen last night, but lived in a villa in "Tongxiang Longhu".In the early morning, they hugged and chatted with Cao Danqing in the bed.Winter really tests people's ability to get up, especially when there is a big beauty in her arms.

The 1.72 meter Cao Danqing is not only exquisite and charming, she is tall, slender, and slim, with proportions like a supermodel.The skin is like jade.

The two talked, but after all they overcame difficulties, after washing.After having breakfast in the car, Jiang Zi took his assistant Dong Youwei and Jiang Zi to the meeting place today.Qiao Shuang and Liu Zhen were resting in Wuzhen yesterday.

Yesterday's party's dinner party ended around 8:30.Jing Gao didn't bother to take care of the communication. For the two of them, this was an opportunity to expand their contacts.The chairman and president of Uber are not bad.

It was about 8:40, and there were already many guests in the venue.Various media outlets have various machines in the back row.This kind of conference was meant to promote China's governance plans and ideas on the Internet.The more media, the better.

You know, in 2013, the West, led by the United States, set off a siege of public opinion against China, accusing China of using hackers to steal secrets.As a result, a "prism gate" broke out at that time.

Many people think this is an accident.Wrong, this is a necessity.Because the United States has more than one "Prism Gate" project.This kind of mess happens often.It was only because the world's public opinion was besieging China at that time and was hyping about network security, which caused such a sensation.

Who doesn't know the double standard of Western media?He didn't see the news that was bad for him.Moreover, the pace of the entire Western media is very consistent.

Jing Gao wears very old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses and a plain suit, which is very different from his usual image.It is impossible for him to send someone to tell the media on this occasion: I don't want to take pictures.That's looking for smoke!There were big media such as Yang Ma, Xin X News Agency, Renren Daily and so on.Therefore, he can only simply "disguise" it.

Cao Danqing was also very plain, wearing glasses, and followed Jing Gao to sit in the back area of ​​the venue.

The arrangement of the venue is very spaced between a row and a row of seats.People who sit down while walking do not need to get up.But when Jing Gao and Cao Qing passed by a seat, a middle-aged man suddenly stood up, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Jing, hello. I am Ying Shuling of heroes."

Jing Gao was startled, didn't it happen in the venue yesterday?But still shook hands with him politely, "Hello."

The people around you heard what Ying Shuling said.On the way Jing Gao went to his seat, one by one stood up and shook hands with Jing Gao, acting like a leader.The movement here was quickly captured by the media in the venue.

Click, click.

For the media people, after Ali's popularization of public opinion, everyone knows that Jiuge Capital is still Jinggao's industry.So, with such a big news as the new owner of Sina, who doesn't want to eat hot soup?Caught Jing Gao for a while.

Several reporters chatted in the back.

"Tsk tusk, Mr. Jing's style...comparable to a leader."

"Pharaoh, I should say this treatment. I think Mr. Jing is quite low-key. Look at his clothes. I can't bear others' enthusiasm for him. Including us.

"Haha."

"By the way, this is the first time I have seen Mr. Jing. This is a fresh face."

"You were not in the main venue yesterday?"

"At that time, so many Internet giants were present, as well as leaders and foreign guests. Who would pay attention to the actual controller of the Phoenix Fund?"

"As a result, there was a big news."

After Jing Gao and Cao Danqing took their seats, the guest speakers, Gan Baldeira, chairman of the China-Europe Digital Association, have arrived.

Cao Danqing knew that the media behind him were all staring. Instead of whispering to Jing Gao, he took out his mobile phone and sent Jing Gao a WeChat message.

"Jing, how does it feel to be famous?"
