Chapter 539 Don’t Scare People Away

"Mr. Fan and Mr. Ma have such demeanor that ordinary people can't fake it. Is this the aura of rich people? Especially Mr. Fan, who is surrounded by people. It always makes me feel like Chow Yun-fat in God of Gamblers. I even hear music in my head."

The person who spoke was the financial director of Dongjing Multimedia Network.

Looking at the convoy consisting of a Bentley Arnage R, two Continental GTCs, and several luxury cars merging into the main road and driving away, her eyes were full of envy.

next to.

A marketing manager smiled and said:
"What is aura?"

"If you have a net worth of nearly 10 billion Hong Kong dollars and manage a large company with a total market value of more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, then others will also be radiant with gold when they see you, just like a living god of wealth."

"People always say that whether you have money or not, you still have to eat three meals a day, grow old, get sick and die. But how can it really be the same? Everyone works so hard to climb up the social ladder, isn't it just to live a more comfortable life? You work hard and save money for decades, while others live in luxury houses and ride yachts all day long. When you compare the two, the difference is immediately apparent."

Da Qiangzi stood by the roadside and did not take his hand away until the convoy disappeared. He could vaguely hear the conversation of the executives behind him, which made him feel deeply moved.

There was no need to guess, he already knew that faced with the double temptation of "50% salary increase + option bonus", the people under him began to waver, or immediately turned to Fan Wumian and Xiao Ma Ge.

Even the vice president beside him suddenly said complacently:

"Our company is doing quite well. We were lucky enough to be chosen by Penguin Group, which offered us such a high price! Unfortunately, after selling the company, we still have to pay a large amount of personal income tax. It should be 20%, right?"

"."

Da Qiangzi said helplessly:

"I haven't even considered whether to accept the acquisition, but you're already calculating the taxes after selling the company? The fact that Mr. Fan and Mr. Ma are interested in our company shows that it still has great potential. I'm worried that I might suffer a loss if I'm too impulsive."

The other party replied:

"But Dongjing Multimedia Network is in the hands of Penguin Group and in our hands, which is completely different. Mr. Fan and Mr. Ma have a lot of money and hundreds of millions of social platform users to attract. If we can't get financing, it will be difficult for us to grow further. The money burned by Taobao every month is higher than our profit in a few years."

"Tenpay of Penguin Group also has the opportunity to become the second Jifubao. By then, the cost of acquiring customers will be low and the company will have sufficient cash, which will enable Dongjing Multimedia Network to grow stronger."

"Honestly, I feel that Mr. Fan and Mr. Ma are just trying to save trouble. They are attracted by our ready-made management team and the technology of Dongjing Shopping Platform. I am afraid that we can help them shorten their development time by a few months."

"If we don't agree quickly, other startups will probably sell to them. If our company is sandwiched between Taobao, Penguin, eBay, Dangdang, and Jinghuhui, no financing party will dare to invest, and the transaction amount will probably shrink."

After coming back to his senses from his excited state, Da Qiangzi felt that what he heard made a lot of sense.

Since the Penguin Group has already set its sights on the online shopping platform and plans to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in it, it is certainly impossible for it to completely scrap the entire plan simply because it cannot acquire Dongjing Multimedia Network.

Clearly sensing a depressing atmosphere of "storm on the horizon", Da Qiangzi continued:
"Please help me find out which shopping website Penguin Group is in contact with. I also need to take the time to think it over. I wonder if they will allow me to retain part of the shares."

Looking at Da Qiangzi with a look that said, "What sweet dreams are you having?", the vice president surnamed Wang organized his words, shook his head decisively and said:

"I'm afraid it's difficult. If we keep three or five points, we can still negotiate a little, but if the number is too large, the Penguin Group will definitely suffer."

"Let's not talk about anything else. When they raise 2 million yuan in one go, 5% is 1000 million yuan. What do you think, Mr. Liu?"

"If we don't follow, our equity will be diluted immediately. I think it's better to discuss other conditions, such as giving us some options as rewards after we reach a certain scale. Even if we can't keep up with the pace and are marginalized in the end, at least we can get the money and leave."

Da Qiangzi felt a little frustrated after hearing this, mainly because even the executives around him lacked confidence in him, making him feel that none of them could be trusted. As a self-made man from a poor family, he was sometimes more idealistic, thinking that everyone should work together to start a business, so he usually treated his employees very well, providing them with a lot of benefits and protection.

However, as a boss, his interests are often not aligned with those of his employees.

For example, when discussing the acquisition this time, Daqiangzi will give priority to the development prospects of Dongjing Multimedia Network, but the employees are only concerned about whether they can get a salary increase, become employees of Penguin Group, and receive option rewards.

Just like some students can only get into a second-tier university, but the school itself works hard during their studies and is promoted to a first-tier or key university, and all the students in the school also benefit from it.

This time, Penguin Group's attempt to acquire Dongjing Multimedia Network as a whole gave most employees the same feeling.

now.

Da Qiangzi looked around at the crowd. They were staring at him eagerly. He understood something and said with emotion:
"Don't make decisions rashly when you are impulsive. Penguin Group can give you a raise. If the company develops well, I can also do the same. Let's go home first and don't delay the important work."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was obviously disappointed, and the light in their eyes seemed to dim a little, thinking that Da Qiangzi did not want to sell the company.

After returning to the office.

Da Qiangzi closed his eyes and thought for a while, then looked through the company's recent data reports. He was worried about selling the good company at a low price, and he was also worried that if he didn't cash out in time, he would miss this opportunity.

The constant struggle between ideals and reality made Da Qiangzi very upset. He subconsciously thought of a "safe haven" and picked up his mobile phone to call his mother. He talked about a company that wanted to spend 5000 million yuan to acquire his company and continue to provide him with a job.

His mother was quite simple. She didn't believe it at first and said nervously:

"There are so many scammers nowadays. How could your company be worth so much money? Could it be that you were scammed?"

Da Qiangzi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and replied:

"Do you know Fan Wumian, the wealthy Hong Kong star? He came here with Ma Huateng, the founder of Penguin Group. Both of them are well-known wealthy people in the country. Did they team up just to cheat me? Impossible. They really want to spend 5000 million to acquire my company. I guess after deducting taxes, I will only have more than million left."

".I have some impression of Fan Wumian, the one who lives in a house worth hundreds of millions? Ouch, my blood pressure is high! Daqiangzi, don't talk for now, I'm going to take a pill! Wait a minute, your dad wants to talk to you too!"

His father snatched the phone away and yelled:

"Winning once in the lottery is only 500 million, which means you have won several times in a row!? They said they have offered you a job? How much is the annual salary?"

Although he respected his parents, Da Qiangzi felt that with his parents' perspective, he could not help much with such a big matter, so he said happily:
"We didn't discuss the salary, but I estimate it will be around 150 million or 200 million. They are an Internet giant listed in Hong Kong, so the treatment of senior executives is not bad. If you continue to manage the company well, you can also get some other rewards."

After hearing this, Father Liu's blood pressure also soared, and he said:
"Have you sold the company? That's great. Last time you came back, you said the company could make three or four million a year. This salary is equivalent to half a year's income of the company. Don't scare people away. It's enough to take five or six hundred thousand. Be content with what you have, or else they will think you are too expensive and fire you."

Da Qiangzi smiled helplessly and explained:
"Once the company appreciates in value, and its value rises by hundreds of millions, who will care about my salary? They just came to discuss it with me, and I haven't given a reply yet. I want to think it over first."

Hearing this, his father got anxious and helped to calculate the accounts:

"With over 3000 million yuan lying in the bank and earning interest, you can earn over 150 million yuan a year! If you lend the money to our grain station, we can give you 10 points per year, which is equivalent to over 300 million yuan in interest! Your salary is enough for you to spend, so you can put this money in a fixed deposit, how comfortable is that, isn't it?"

He didn't consider other aspects, but he was very smart when it came to figuring out where to deposit the money to earn interest.

Indeed, he had forgotten about the interest. Da Qiangzi's mind was shaken again, and he leaned a little more towards accepting the acquisition. (End of this chapter)
