Just when Zhang Tao and Ma Youtian signed the equity transfer agreement, Hao Yun, who went to Shenzhen City, was warmly received by Liu Zhidong, the CEO of Sea Lion Group.
The restaurant on the 70th floor of One Shenzhen Bay.
Liu Zhiyuan smiled and clinked glasses with Hao Yun, his eyes full of approval.
"Mr. Hao is really young and promising. He has created such a big family business at such a young age. It is really admirable!"
"Mr. Liu, you deserve the award. Compared to you, we are just a small company... By the way, when are we going to sign the equity transfer agreement?"
"No hurry, no hurry, let's add a WeChat friend first, and then we can discuss the details of the contract after dinner... You swipe me or should I swipe you?"
"Let me scan you!"
Unlike the taciturn image in the news media, Liu Zhiyuan talked a lot during meals, talking about the ecology of the Internet to when he was in college.
However, Hao Yun listened absently.
His thoughts are all about the 700 million. As for what kind of ecosystem the Internet is, he doesn't care. Originally, Yunmeng Group's core business is just making games, and investing in modern bicycles is a side job at best.
It’s just that no one expected that just in time to catch up with the trend, this thing could actually make so much money...
After a meal, it was finally time to sign the contract.
A staff member in formal attire walked into the box and handed over a contract in duplicate.
Mr. Liu was very cheerful and signed his name on the agreement without any delay.
The same goes for Hao Yun.
From this moment on, Modern Bicycle and Yunmeng Group have no connection at all, and 700 million yuan will be deposited into Yunmeng Group’s public account within three days.
"Can I ask a question?"
After the agreement was signed, Hao Yun heard Mr. Liu turn the topic to him, finished his thoughts about how to spend the 700 million, and responded with a smile.
"…What kind of problem is it?"
"Are you really planning to quit the bike-sharing industry?" Mr. Liu looked at Hao Yun with a smile, but his eyes were a little more tentative.
Like everyone else.
Mr. Liu is probably also speculating in his mind whether Yunmeng Group will use this 700 million yuan to make a comeback in the field of shared bicycles, such as building Yunmeng Bicycle or something.
This probability is very small.
But if it happens, it will undoubtedly be a problem.
"certainly."
"Don't you think it's a pity? The Financial Daily commented that the market potential here is at least 100 billion, but the current scale of the entire industry is less than 40 billion, which is far from the bottleneck." Liu Zhidong said with a smile.
"Whether it reaches the bottleneck or not, I think the risks are all there," Hao Yun shrugged and said in a casual tone, "700 million is already a good price."
"Okay, the deal is over anyway," Liu Zhidong smiled, with a bit of pride in his expression, "Maybe you are right, I hope you don't blame us when modern bicycles are launched in the future."
"Why would I blame you?" Hao Yun took Mr. Liu's extended right hand and said with a smile, "I hope we are both right."
The agreement between Yunmeng Group and Hiace Group has been officially reached, and Modern Bicycle has officially joined the Hiace series, ushering in a new stage of development.
After completing its controlling stake in Modern Bicycle, the first thing Hiashi Group did was to move Modern Bicycle's financial system from Jiangcheng to Shenzhen City, and reopen an account at a bank that had cooperative business with Hiashi Group for use. Receive deposits from users across the country.
Faced with this situation, Jiangcheng Bank is undoubtedly the most uncomfortable one.
Nearly five billion in deposits were taken away, almost affecting Jiangcheng Bank's loan business.
Also thankfully this was at the beginning of the year.
If it were at the end of the year, the loss of so much deposit funds would probably make the president faint in tears in the toilet.
In fact, although Luo Weijian didn't faint from crying in the toilet, it was almost the same.
President's Office.
Luo Weijian, who was slumped in his office chair, looked at the information handed over by his senior executives and couldn't help but curse.
"These Shenzhen city guys really don't have martial ethics! Is this something human beings did!"
When you see something valuable, you throw money at it and grab it. What the hell is the difference between this and a robber
It is difficult for a traditional industrial city like Jiangcheng, with light and heavy industries as its pillar industries, to incubate such high-quality Internet companies.
Now a modern bicycle has finally been born, and the entire Jiangcheng city, from the municipal administration to the financial system, has tried its best to protect it. However, it was stopped by the Sea Lion Group before it was warm enough to be held in the hand. It is really a lie. Too many people!
Also in this office, Ding Shihui, who was sitting on the sofa not far away, also had a bitter expression on his face.
But compared to Mr. Luo, who still had the energy to get angry, he didn't even have the energy to curse.
Just a few days ago, Jiang'an Capital was responsible for managing the more than 4 billion in funds. In order to leave a reliable impression on his customers, he can be said to have been walking on thin ice during this period. Not only did he personally manage all investment plans involving this fund, but he also mobilized all the elites in the team to work for these more than 40 people. Billions of funds are protected.
They are very lucky, because their main focus is on the bicycle and smart lock industry chain, and they have benefited from the orders created by shared bicycles. This funding has so far created nearly more than 200 million in profits for them and their partners.
However, just when he was confident about the future, the "bad news" about the acquisition of Modern Bicycle by Sea Lion Group suddenly came from the financial world.
Although it was expected, when the executives of Modern Bicycle called him and asked him to liquidate all the positions in his hands, he couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart.
Sure enough, when Hiace Group acquired Modern Bicycle, the first thing it did was to integrate the “little yellow bike” into its financial business. This extra-staff irregular soldier was kicked out of the game in a matter of minutes.
"What did the city bureau say? Are they just watching our stars from Jiangcheng City being poached to the Pearl River Delta?"
"It's no use. I've talked to the founder, but it's no use at all," Luo Weijian waved his hand and sighed. "The city bureau finally tried to see if the headquarters of Modern Bicycle can be kept in Jiangcheng."
"What did the other party say?"
"Now the headquarters has been changed into a branch, and the core management and the headquarters have moved to Shenzhen City," Luo Weijian shook his head and said, "It's useless. Hiace Group is determined to integrate the entire business under WeChat."
Ding Shihui was silent for a while, and then suddenly spoke out of curiosity.
"You said that if we find Hao Yun...can we ask him to get another modern bicycle?"
Luo Weijian sighed and said, "Do you think I haven't called him? I even found his prospective father-in-law."
"Lin Wuyan?"
"Otherwise? Who else could it be?"
This seems to be no secret in the entire Jiangcheng business community.
Ding Shihui fell completely silent this time, and after a long time he sighed and said.
"Why do you think he bothers? Even if there is no Sea Lion Group... for a high-quality enterprise like Modern Bicycle, IPO will be a matter of time. It will not be more than 700 million."
Luo Weijian said with a wry smile.
"Then you have to ask him, who knows what he thinks."
The two looked at each other and fell into silence.
However, at this moment, the landline phone on the desk suddenly rang.
Luo Weijian reached out and picked up the phone. After saying a friendly hello, he held the phone and listened there without saying a word.
Although he couldn't hear the content on the phone, Ding Shihui couldn't help but start to murmur in his heart when he saw the increasingly serious look on his old friend's face.
After about ten minutes, the call was completed.
Luo Weijian hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. Before Ding Shihui could ask what was going on, he looked at him and asked seriously.
"Do any of your funds under Jiang'an Capital provide financial services to shared bicycles?"
Ding Shihui was slightly startled and said hesitantly.
"No, our biggest customer is modern bicycles... What's wrong?"
Luo Weijian looked at the Yangtze River outside the window with a complicated expression.
After being silent for a while, he said in an intriguing tone.
"The call just now was from the China Banking Regulatory Commission."
