Chapter 296: Go to Hengdian
"If there are no accidents, of course I will be there. After all, as a major shareholder, I am also looking forward to iFlytek's listing."
After hearing what Mr. Pony wanted to do today, Kaos thought for a moment and then agreed. Judging from the current development progress of Weibo, it will be about that time when it will be officially launched. Kaos will definitely be there by then.
You must come in person and take charge of planning software promotion and other matters.
At that time, he will naturally have time to participate in iFlytek's listing event, and as one of the companies that Kaos attaches great importance to, he should naturally support the other party. After all, the rising stock price is also part of his wealth. Kaos naturally
There is no reason to refuse.
However, what makes Kaos somewhat regretful is that with the listing process, the Xiangjiang stock market does not allow the same stock to have different rights.
In order to prevent the loss of the company's power after the listing, Mr. Ma's founding team must also buy back part of the shares to ensure as much as possible the equity in their hands.
All of these have caused Kaos's share of iFlytek to drop a lot, and now only maintains 46.5% of the share. The remaining 6% was sold to Lin Yifei, and was repurchased by Mr. Ma and his team.
17.5%.'
As a result, the Xiaoma team has become the company's largest shareholder on the surface, with 1% more equity than Kaos. However, with Lin Yifei's shares in hand, Kaos and Lin Yifei have joined forces.
, once again firmly suppressed the pony founding team.
The reason why the current shareholding structure emerged is the result of several consultations between the two parties and the exchange of interests behind the scenes.
Kaos naturally trusts Mr. Pony's team capabilities, but Kaos also needs to have influence on iFlytek to ensure that the company develops in accordance with its own goals in the future, and can get the other party's support for some of its own plans in the future.
Support and limit each other's abilities.
Just like Weibo, it is not so easy to achieve cooperation among several parties without the equity interests of several parties in the name of Kaos.
However, although a lot of shares were lost, because both Lin Yifei and Mr. Pony's team spent real money to purchase shares, Kaos can be regarded as using the funds invested in previous years.
It was all recycled back at once.
The remaining 46.5% of iFlytek's shares can be said to have been the profits from Kaos's original investment in iFlytek.
"Then I'll be waiting for your arrival then."
Seeing Kaos agreeing so happily, Pony always chuckled and breathed a sigh of relief.
But right after that, Mr. Ma mentioned another thing to Kaos, which was iFlytek’s next strategy, which would be to enter and invest in the game market more comprehensively.
iFlytek itself is an instant messaging software company. Although its projects are very good, it also has the biggest problem, which is where the profits come from. After all, paid instant messaging software is not feasible as long as you are not stupid.
.
Today is not yet the mobile Internet era of later generations. Although it is called instant messaging software, it is only used on computers, and communication is not as convenient as imagined.
If there is a need to pay, then why don't users just use mobile phones or telephones, which are obviously more convenient and faster.
Precisely because they understand this truth, no company is willing to take this path unless forced to do so.
And because there was no prospect of the company's profits, no one paid attention to iFlytek in the early stage. Many people in later generations ridiculed those who gave up investing in iFlytek, but in fact this was reality, and it even seemed very real at the time.
The right choice.
Therefore, Mr. Ma has been looking for profit points from the early days of his business. It was not until he combined communications with casual games that he started iFlytek's take-off.
It's just that this path now has been guided by Kaos in advance, which has allowed iFlytek to enter the profit period ahead of schedule. It is also the main reason why iFlytek can go public one year earlier than in its previous life.
However, Mr. Ma, who obviously has a huge appetite, is no longer satisfied with the market for developing casual games. In addition, NetEase is now making huge profits through online games, and Ding Lei's glorious appearance this year, Mr. Ma is also completely disappointed.
He saw it and had a more ambitious plan.
However, as a result, there is a conflict of interest between iFlytek and NetEase, and Kaos is the major shareholder of both companies. This is why Mr. Ma has brought this matter up with Kaos now.
"Don't worry, I am just an investor in both companies, just to make money. I will not interfere in commercial competition, nor will I favor any party."
Kaos has long been mentally prepared for the situation where the two companies will face each other in the game market sooner or later. However, under the competition, no matter who wins or loses, the two companies have achieved the number one position in the market. It seems that they are both interested.
The biggest one.
Under such circumstances, Kaos had no need to participate, so he expressed his attitude directly to Mr. Pony.
"Thank you very much. When iFlytek acquires NetEase, I will definitely give you a high price as compensation for your shares in the other company."
Although Kaos seems to be indifferent, as the major shareholder of iFlytek, if the two parties cannot reach an agreement in advance, he and Mr. Ma will reach a unanimous action.
So after iFlytek starts planning, if the other party does something to stumble or delay iFlytek behind its back, it will be enough for Xiaoma to give them a headache.
Now that he had received Kaos's guarantee, Mr. Pony couldn't be more satisfied, and at the same time he happily made a promise to Kaos.
As if he was about to knock down NetEase, his confident look made Kaos laugh.
"It seems that Mr. Pony is really confident."
Kaos chuckled at this and shook his head. Although iFlytek's future game market is very big, the domestic game market is obviously even bigger. Even iFlytek has not completely eaten it.
ability.
As for the acquisition of NetEase, it seems to Kaos that it still takes a long time. However, Kaos did not dampen the enthusiasm of the other party, but it just felt a little funny.
The two chatted for a long time, and then they separated after having lunch together.
Kaos also accompanied Lin Yifei to Pengcheng Airport, preparing to fly to Xiaoshan Airport by private plane, and then drive to Hengdian.
Chapter completed!
