Rewrite the Technological Landscape

After Meng Qian arrived in Yanjing, Xiao Boshi was already waiting for him at the hotel. This time his first target in Yanjing was Sohu.

Sohu's 2001 was a mess in the management. Sohu, like Sina, encountered shareholders wanting to kick out the CEO during this trough period, but Sina's Wang Zhidong was kicked out, and Sohu's Zhang Chaoyang carried it out.

There are two main reasons here. One of the reasons is Zhang Chaoyang’s own personal foundation. Postdoctoral fellow of Provincial Polytechnic.

When he was under siege, Zhang Chaoyang used his personal resources to the extreme.

In September 2001, Zhang Chaoyang was at a critical moment of turning around, and he was looking for an influential "partner" everywhere. At this time, Meng Qian came.

What Zhang Chaoyang needs is someone who is influential in the industry and can help Zhang Chaoyang squeeze out other shareholders, but who doesn't care about things.

And Meng Qian, who only wants shares, doesn't want to take care of things at all

In addition, there is something Zhang Chaoyang likes about Meng Qian, which is cleanliness. Meng Qian is a young entrepreneur who popped up out of nowhere.

In the eyes of many people in the industry, his success lies in his betting on the product of the game, and others have not seen the huge space of the game.

But Meng Qian has almost no influence behind him now, and he is very clean, which is very rare in this industry.

The capital forces behind other Internet companies are all in the same rivers and lakes.

Xiao Boshi still used the most effective negotiating skills to affirm Zhang Chaoyang's thoughts, and the two sides talked very comfortably.

With Xiao Bozhi's foreshadowing for a while, today's acquisition went very smoothly. Zhang Chaoyang helped Meng Qian collect almost 23% of the shares for transfer. They are all people who are not optimistic about Sohu now. 50 million, Meng Qian won the 23% shares.

Of course, Meng Qian also bought 10 million shares of Sohu in the US market, and Sohu is now only 0.8 yuan per share.

Originally, there should be no big disturbances in Sohu today, but when Meng Qian was about to leave Sohu, he saw a familiar face in the open lounge.

"Who is this?" Meng Qian asked Zhang Chaoyang pretending not to know him.

"Oh, let me introduce to Meng Qian." Seeing that Meng Qian had asked all the questions, Zhang Chaoyang stepped forward to introduce, "This is Mr. Lei from Jinshan, Mr. Lei, and this is Mr. Meng from Dafeng Science and Technology Innovation. "

"President Meng?" Lei Xiaomi seemed to be very interested in Meng Qian, and when he heard that it was Meng Qian, he showed a warm smile.

"So it's Mr. Lei from Jinshan, I've heard about it for a long time." Meng Qian also showed a long-admired expression.

But what Meng Qian couldn't understand was that Lei Xiaomi was just appointed as the president of Kingsoft at the end of last year. Why did he appear on Sohu at this time?

Does Lei Xiaomi also have shares in Sohu?

Or.

Meng Qian really didn't know about this period of history. In 2001, Zhang Chaoyang did dig Lei Xiaomi and almost succeeded.

Although Meng Qian had a rough guess at the moment, he couldn't say anything, so he took out his business card, "When Mr. Lei is free, I will visit Jinshan."

"Okay." Lei Xiaomi took the business card with both hands and took out his own business card, "As long as Mr. Meng speaks, we are always waiting for you."

Meng Qian put away his business card, and it's not easy to chat much on Sohu's site, so let's have a private chat with Lei Xiaomi another day.

"There is only one Sina left." Leaving Sohu, Meng Qian said to himself.

"I've already made the list, how about we discuss it separately to save some time?" Xiao Boshi took out a piece of paper and gave it to Meng Qian.

Meng Qian saw more than 20 names on the paper, including the names of people and organizations.

Sina's acquisition is actually the easiest, because there is no need to talk to the CEO. After all, Sina's shareholding distribution is the most outrageous among the Big Three.

The second reason why Zhang Chaoyang was able to stabilize the situation mentioned earlier is that:

Ding Sanshi owns almost 60% of NetEase, Zhang Chaoyang owns almost 40% of Sohu, and Wang Zhidong only owns 6% of Sina.

If others say kick it, they will kick it.

This also created a grand occasion for Sina to change 5 CEOs in 7 years.

No CEO has a lot of shares

For the next period of time, Meng Qian and Xiao Boshi visited shareholders like Sina who were interested in selling their shares, and slowly sucked in chips from them.

As of September 25, Meng Qian acquired a 25% stake in Sina with more than 40 million yuan.

So far, Meng Qian has obtained 39% of NetEase shares, 25% of Sina shares and 23% of Sohu shares with the company's revenue of almost 200 million yuan in more than two months.

This is not counting the shares that Meng Qian obtained from the stock market.

According to the original historical development, by 2019, these shares will be worth almost 200 billion.

On the afternoon of September 25, Meng Qian came to Yinghaiwei in a good mood.

"Why are you so happy today?" Zhang Shuxin couldn't help asking seeing Meng Qian's rare expression of happiness directly.

"10 million, how many shares can I buy in Yinghaiwei?" Meng Qian joked.

Zhang Shuxin immediately understood why Meng Qian was in such a good mood. Although Meng Qian's acquisition was as low-key as possible this time, some things would leak out no matter how low-key they were. The Huaxia Internet circle in 2001 was only so big.

"Do you only want Ying Haiwei's 10 million shares?" Zhang Shuxin suddenly looked at Meng Qian meaningfully.

Meng Qian felt the change in Zhang Shuxin's expression, and his face gradually became serious, "Mr. Zhang is looking for me today. Is there something important?"

Zhang Shuxin nodded, "The final test of the search engine has been completed, and there is one thing that must be done before the search engine goes online.

I have already negotiated the listing of the company, and the time will be next month.

I have already negotiated with Yanjing Trust and Investment Company. "

Meng Qian's eyes moved slightly, Zhang Shuxin was really good at handling Yanjing Trust and Investment Company. Ying Haiwei's major shareholder is Xingfa, and then Yanjing Trust and Investment Company.

For Zhang Shuxin, the biggest significance of this listing is not to collect money, but to dilute the shares.

Meng Qian remained silent, motioning for Zhang Shuxin to continue.

"Although I came back this time, I have lost all my previous shares. Up to now, I only have 15% of the shares in my hand. Now I add Yanjing Trust, and you are still close, so I want to let Mr. Meng Do me a favor."

"Tongjian?" Meng Qian asked speculatively, Tongjian owns 7% of Ying Haiwei's shares.

"That's right. Something happened to Tongjian now, and he doesn't seem very satisfied with Ying Haiwei, so I want Mr. Meng to come out and talk to Tongjian, and buy his shares. Of course, After the negotiation, the shares will be yours."

"After that? How to kick Xingfa away?"

Zhang Shuxin shook his head, "I don't really plan to kick Xingfa away. Xingfa is a state-owned asset after all, and Xingfa has helped me before. I just don't want to be restricted by shares again after the search engine goes online."

Looking at Zhang Shuxin's resolute expression, Meng Qian knew that she was planning to do a good job on the search engine, but Meng Qian suddenly asked hypocritically for some reason, "Mr. Zhang trusts me so much?"

"Who made your company run well." Zhang Shuxin responded in a teasing way, "If you cheat me, I will go downstairs to your company every day to complain!"

"Hahaha." Meng Qian couldn't help but smile, "Okay, I'll talk to Tongjian."

This September, Meng Qian completed what will be talked about by countless people in the future, the acquisition of Legendary
