Chapter 475

Gu Yongqiang sighed deeply. He knew that if Huizhong bought Youku, he would completely lose control of the company, either retire or become a senior worker of Huizhong.

If Huizhong makes its own video website, although it seems that Youku has survived for the time being, think about the rapid reshuffle of the whole industry. Even if Tudou and Youku merge, how can they compete with the three companies with the worst money in the domestic Internet industry? In the end, they will only be eliminated and lose their money!

In contrast, if you accept Huizhong holding and hold Huizhong's thigh, although you will lose a lot of equity, you must still be the helmsman and one of the major shareholders of the whole company. With the support of Huizhong, you and Youku will have enough ammunition to fight iqiyi and Tencent video, so that they can know that you are the "Godfather" of this industry!

Gu Yongqiang's heart was wavering and his thoughts were full of thoughts. Fang zhe gave him another powerful medicine:

"Mr. Gu, I'd like to tell you that I'm planning to set up an interactive entertainment business department recently. It will include businesses in the fields of literature, film and television, music, animation and other content consumption. After these businesses become bigger and stronger in the future, it will form a closed loop with Huizhong's existing games and other businesses.

In the longer term, with the inherent advantages of Huizhong internationalization, these businesses can quickly develop to Southeast Asia, India, Brazil and other countries and regions with underdeveloped mobile Internet, and even compete directly with multinational cultural and entertainment companies such as universal, paramount and Disney in Europe and America in the future! "

At the moment, Gu Yongqiang was excited all over. He only felt that his heart, liver and lungs were severely shocked!

Although Fang Zhe's words are simple and easy, there are only a few words, but the content and information contained in them are enough to trigger a big earthquake in many industries at home and even abroad!

Literature, film and television, music, animation, one word represents an industry, one word represents thousands of companies at home and abroad, and tens of thousands of people in these industries will be affected and affected to varying degrees!

Gu Yongqiang's heart turned upside down. It seems that he still underestimated Fang Zhe's and Huizhong's ambition. Fang zhe wants to be not only a shuffler in the video industry, but a shuffler in all industries related to culture and entertainment, which accounts for almost half of the Internet!

Gu Yongqiang knows that with the strength of Huizhong now, he can really support this ambition!

However, Gu Yongqiang remembered Tencent two or three years ago. At that time, Tencent's tentacles also extended to all fields of the Internet, causing all walks of life to complain about restlessness. Until the 3Q war broke out, Huizhong and 360 United hundreds of Companies in the industry to denounce Tencent, and finally forced Tencent to converge and change, from closure to opening, from arrogance to win-win cooperation, Now listen to the meaning of Fang Zhe's words, it seems that he has embarked on the old road of Tencent?

At that time, Huizhong was the vanguard against Tencent. Isn't Huizhong beating himself in the face by doing so now?

Gu Yongqiang thought Fang Zhe and Huizhong in the direction of "villains", but he didn't dare to say it directly. He couldn't afford to offend Fang Zhe and Huizhong!

Fang zhe looked at Gu Yongqiang with a subtle look and seemed to have guessed something. He didn't bother to explain to Gu Yongqiang at first, but then he thought that Gu Yongqiang was the first general recruited after he established the interactive entertainment business department. His video industry is a very important part of his pan entertainment strategy. If both sides can't establish enough trust, That will inevitably affect his deployment and development. Therefore, Fang zhe asked patiently:

"Gu always doesn't think that we are following the old path of Tencent?"

Gu Yongqiang was surprised. President Fang was really an iron mouth diviner. He could guess his inner thoughts. As soon as he wanted to deny, Fang zhe interrupted:

"In fact, President Gu, you can compare the differences between Huizhong and Tencent. I mean, it mainly refers to investment and business layout!"

Hearing Fang Zhe's reminder, Gu Yongqiang thought carefully. Since the establishment of Huizhong, although Huizhong has made a lot of investment and layout outside its core games, social networking and other businesses, it is rarely seen that Huizhong has completely acquired or occupied some businesses and start-ups that seem to have great potential.

Whether it's the e-commerce industry in which Jingdong Miya is located, the mobile phone industry in which Xiaomi Huichuang is located, or the o2o industry proposed by Fang zhe himself, Fang Zhe and Huizhong have always invested in relevant businesses and companies with the mentality of support, help and win-win cooperation, which is better than what industry Tencent saw popular in those years, Relying on their own resource advantages and the means to crush competitors, I don't know how many times to be "kind" and "kind"!

"Mr. Gu, I always believe that win-win cooperation between the two companies can produce greater benefits than M & A or competition. It is not a simple thing to integrate one company into another. In many cases, 1 + 1 is less than 2. Therefore, I always advocate the investment cooperation concept of seeking common ground while reserving differences and common development.

No matter Youku or other entertainment companies we invest in in the future, we will try our best to maintain its independence and autonomy, but keep consistent with Huizhong's development strategy in the overall situation.

On the contrary, Huizhong will also take out a lot of resources to cultivate and develop your companies. I don't have to say that you know the investment achievements of Huizhong in the past few years. I dare say that at least up to now, each of their companies has made great success and progress with the investment and help of Huizhong. I believe that Youku in the future is the same. What do you think? "

Fang Zhe's last sentence made Gu Yongqiang completely firm his idea of accepting Huizhong investment. Yes, look at the companies that Huizhong has invested in. Now which company has not made full brilliant achievements and can't come to Youku. Let's make an exception!

Compared with accepting investment and taking money, Gu Yongqiang hopes to see Youku, which he founded, achieve greater achievements in the future.

Gu Yongqiang, who had planned to promise Fang Zhe, began to think about Fang Zhe. He said, "president Fang, if you don't insist on controlling the company, even 49% of the shares, I believe it will be easy to pass at the board of directors and pay a much lower price.

As you know, I and other shareholders of the management now only hold more than 50% of the shares. If you insist on holding shares, you have to be prepared for a premium! "

Fang zhe smiled and nodded. Gu Yongqiang said these things. He had long discussed with Huizhong's senior management. Generally, the price per share of holding or acquiring a listed company will be basically higher than the current share price. The greater the potential of the controlled or acquired company, the higher the premium will be.

Alibaba acquired Youku at a premium of more than 30% in the previous life. If Huizhong wants to control Youku, it must also spend a lot of wronged money. However, Fang zhe doesn't mind this. Compared with the profits and future market value growth brought by the whole pan entertainment strategy to Huizhong, this money is not worth mentioning!

When Gu Yongqiang left the club, he had reached preliminary holding conditions with Fang Zhe. Huizhong will acquire 51% shares of Youku Tudou company in the future with no less than half of the current combined market value of Youku and Tudou, that is, cash and resources worth more than US $1.5 billion. At that time, Youku Tudou will become the first subsidiary controlled by Huizhong's newly established interactive entertainment division.

Gu Yongqiang is ready to go back to persuade Youku's board of directors with Fang Zhe's conditions. Of course, before that, he has a more important thing to promote the merger of Youku and Tudou as soon as possible!

Two days later, Fang zhe came to Jianghai under the pretext of inspecting the branch. Secretly, he met Wu Xiaohui, the person in charge of the starting point of the grand online literature website, in a hotel by the Pudong river!
