Chapter 176: The Listing Failed, The Valuation Plummeted, And Xiao Ma Regretted It
"pony, it's bad!"
Xu Chengye hurriedly came to Brother Ma's office. Before anyone arrived, the voice reached Brother Ma's ears.
Xiao Ma’s face is full of despair!
He knew what Xu Chengye was talking about.
"pony, I just received the news that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has issued an announcement to form an investigation team to conduct a detailed investigation into our company's interception of user data." Xu Chengye said with a panicked face.
"I already know." Xiao Ma said weakly.
Before Xu Chengye arrived, he received the relevant news.
"pony, what should we do now? When the news spread, everyone in the company panicked. Once we are investigated, we can't hide what we did, and our listing plan will be shelved." Xu Chengye said painfully.
The goose factory that he had worked hard for for several years was originally prosperous and bright, but it ended up where it is now.
"what to do?"
"There's nothing I can do!"
"It is a certainty that the investigation team will be stationed in the company. What we can do now is to wait for the investigation team's arrival and then cooperate with their investigation.
"As for listing..."
Having said this, Brother Xiao Ma looked up at Xu Chengye.
"Chengye, do you think it is possible for us to go public?"
The words just fell. 07
His cell phone rang.
It was Stokes, the head of MIH Longguo District, calling.
In 2000, when Goose Factory was in the most difficult situation and had to sell the company, it was an investment of 2.2 million yuan from IDG and Yingke Digital that kept Goose Factory alive.
certainly.
Xiao Ma also paid 40% of the equity.
However, in 2001, Yingke Digital and IDG sold 20% of their respective shares to South Africa's MIH Holdings.
Xiao Ma Ge sold 13.5% of his shares to MIH in June 2002.
Now the largest shareholder of Goose Factory is not Xiao Ma, but MIH.
Now that such a big thing has happened in the goose factory, even official agencies are stationed to investigate. As the largest shareholder of the goose factory, how could MIH not call and ask.
after all.
This is about their own interests.
Originally, Goose Factory was going to be listed in Xiangjiang in June, but MIH was still very happy.
I also support Xiao Ma to suppress future technology in order to increase his own valuation.
As a result, the development of things now is completely out of their control.
Although it has had a considerable impact on future technology, now he is stuck in a quagmire and unable to extricate himself, and has even been exposed to a shocking thunder.
The person in charge of MIH Longguo District was also panicked.
Looking at this posture, Goose Factory is about to be destroyed.
If the goose factory is destroyed, all their investment in the goose factory will be in vain.
This is something the MIH Group cannot tolerate.
"pony"What is going on now? Why are the relevant agencies involved in the investigation!"
When the call was connected, the angry roar of the person in charge of MIH came from the other end.
When the other party finished his rant, Xiao Ma said expressionlessly: "Mr. Stokes, you should have seen the relevant situation on the Internet. Because a large number of netizens poured into the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology had to intervene in the investigation, but you don't have to Too worried, I'm confident I can handle it.
He can't let MIH lose confidence in him now.
If the other party withdraws its capital, then he is really doomed.
As for MIH wanting to support the new person in charge, that is impossible.
Although MIH is the largest shareholder of Goose Factory, Xiao Ma also has absolute say in the company.
"pony, you don't need to say these words, just tell me how you can cope with the current situation?"
"Now on the Internet, Goose Factory has been denounced by the whole people. Can it still stand up in the future?"
"If you cannot give me a satisfactory answer, MIH will withdraw its funding."
Stokes said.
Obviously he is not fooled so easily by Brother Ma.
He even reminded Xiao Ma that if this matter is not handled well, MIH will divest.
Brother Ma said with a broken look: "Mr. Stokes, you know very well that if MIH wants to divest its capital, I won't be able to come up with enough money to buy back your shares now."
"pony, are you threatening me?"
"No, no, no, this is just a friendly reminder!"
hang up the phone.
Brother Ma rubbed his brow tiredly.
It seems that MIH is very dissatisfied with him now and wants to withdraw investment.
However, MIH cannot withdraw its capital now even if it wants to.
Because Brother Ma doesn't have the money to repurchase those shares.
Again.
Given the current situation of the Goose Factory, other outsiders do not dare to acquire MIH’s shares in the Goose Factory.
"MIH wants to divest its investment?"
"Yes! Now the company has become a rat that everyone shouts about and has been boycotted by countless netizens. It is normal for them to want to divest. But the current situation is not that they can withdraw if they want.
Jingle bell bell~
At this time, Xiao Ma's phone rang again.
"This is from Goldman Sachs."
Brother Xiao Ma shook his phone, said something to Xu Chengye, and then connected.
"Hey, Mr. Meng." Xiao Ma said with a smile.
After all, the company needs help from Goldman Sachs to go public, so Xiao Ma doesn't dare to speak so forcefully to Meng Qiu of Goldman Sachs like he did to Stokes, and he has to be humble and flattering.
Although the current situation of the goose factory means that the listing plan is likely to be ruined, he still has to work hard.
Meng Qiu said: "Director Ma, I just received a notice from the headquarters that the plan to help the goose factory go public in Xiangjiang has been canceled by the headquarters. The reason is that the current situation of the goose factory cannot meet the requirements for listing. "
"Mr. Meng, how could our goose factory fail to meet the requirements for listing? We have already negotiated the terms before. How can you go back on your promise?"
"Dr. Ma, this matter is not decided by me. I am only acting as a microphone. I hope you can understand.
"I understand, 053 Lao Meng, considering our friendship over the years, can you help me try to win over the Goldman Sachs headquarters? I know that we have some internal problems now.
But we can handle it.
"Lao Ma, because of our years of friendship, let me tell you the truth. The headquarters of Goldman Sachs are very unfavorable to the goose factory. The valuation they gave you for the goose factory has dropped to less than 100 million meters of gold. , and has downgraded your rating to 'poor, huge risk'. Now that such a big thing has happened to Goose Factory, even if it goes public, it is impossible to find investors, and no one dares to invest in you."
"Lao Meng, you are trying to help me fight for it. We can still discuss the conditions!"
The two talked for half an hour.
After repeated pleas from Xiao Ma, Meng Qiu agreed to help him fight for it again.
As for whether it will work, I can't guarantee it.
"Goldman Sachs has decided not to guarantee us anymore?" Xu Chengye said.
Brother Xiao Ma nodded: "Not only that, but also lowered our valuation to less than 100 million meters of gold, and the rating was downgraded to 'poor, huge risk'.
"pony, if we hadn't used dirty tricks on future technology, we wouldn't be in such a passive situation now. I regret it a little." Xu Chengye said with emotion.
He felt very regretful now.
Brother Ma also sighed.
In his heart, he felt the same regret.
If we had only focused on fishing boats instead of secretly attacking future technologies, the following things would not have happened. .
