This year's Mid-Autumn Festival holiday lasts for three days, from September 9th to 15th.Work as usual on Sunday.For the two teams of Phoenix Fund and LeEco, which are in the process of "negotiating", they did not have a holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival but continued to work overtime. By the 17st, the two parties finally negotiated the details of the acquisition and formed a contract text.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, in the conference room of LeTV Building, Cao Danqing and LeTV CEO Liu Hong each signed their own names on each contract and stamped their respective companies' official seals.
There was a burst of applause in the conference room.
It comes from the heart.From the 12th to the present, I personally feel exhausted, and it should end quickly.
Liu Hong handed over the contract to his assistant, and said with relief: "Mr. Cao, congratulations on reaching an agreement. Tonight, LeEco is preparing a celebration reception at the Wanda Hotel. I hereby invite friends from the Phoenix Fund to attend."
The two sides sat across the oval conference table.On the opposite side, Cao Danqing was dressed in a delicate light blue professional body, with a slender and tall figure.With an elegant and charming young woman style, she nodded and said: "Thank you, Mr. Cao for the arrangement. We will attend on time."
Liu Hong said with a smile: "The press conference for the media will be scheduled at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. I will ask my assistant to notify Mr. Cao."
Cao Danqing said: "No problem."
The entourage of both sides got up one after another, shook hands and said goodbye.
此次凤凰基金出资60亿收购乐视影业和花儿影视。其中乐视影业的估值是45亿元。花儿影视的估值为15亿元。凤凰基金还将出资1亿美元跟投乐视超级汽车项目,并还将分两次总计投入4亿美元。
In addition, the Coolpad mobile phone shares acquired by the Phoenix Fund for US$3.96 million.
It was announced that the Phoenix Fund spent a total of 126.43 billion yuan on LeEco's asset package.LeEco holds 200 press conferences a year to maintain its popularity.This acquisition is undoubtedly extremely eye-catching.
At about 6 o'clock that night, the news on the Internet spread out half-covered.The circle of friends of the employees of LeTV’s publicity department, as well as the few words leaked to the media on WeChat.The momentum of public opinion was stirred up.
LeEco has been surrounded by negative news about lack of money during this period. If the financing is successful, this will be big news.
Sure enough, at the press conference held on Thursday afternoon, the exact figures were given out, and the domestic financial media was full of excitement.The news spread quickly across the country.
...
...
In the evening of CCTV's financial channel, which is CCTV 2's flagship program "Half an Hour of Economics" at [-]:[-] p.m., the host broadcast the news.
"LeTV, which is deeply involved in various negative rumors about the capital chain, sold its assets to Phoenix Fund at a price of 126.43 billion yuan today. Please read the report sent back by the reporter ahead."
The screen on the TV changed to the scene of the press conference of LeTV and Phoenix Fund in the afternoon.
A reporter from CCTV's financial channel asked, "My question is for Phoenix Fund. Hello, President Cao. May I ask why Phoenix Fund spent a huge amount of money to acquire LeTV's asset portfolio?"
Anyone who has followed the financial news these days has an impression of Cao Danqing's delicate and pretty face.It's just that she is not so glamorous on camera today, but has a very plain style, and she also wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses that are sloppy, which immediately pulls her age to over 30 years old.
Cao Danqing said calmly: "We are optimistic about the development of China's film and television industry and the field of electric vehicles. LeTV Pictures and Huaer Film and Television are both excellent film and television production companies. The LeTV super car project is favored by domestic capital. We are also very optimistic I am interested in investing in such a good project.”
The screen turned again and returned to the live broadcast room.The host said: "Next, let's contact the commentator of this station, the famous economist Mr. Ma Daoruan. Hello, commentator."
"Hello, host."
"LeEco and Phoenix Fund jointly held a press conference this afternoon to announce a major asset sale. What do you think of this news?"
Ma Daoruan said: "I also saw related information on the Internet this afternoon. To be honest, I was quite surprised. Why do you say that? First, LeEco is a star Internet company in China. I have done some research on them. Their business logic It is anti-ecological.
So, what is the internal logic of selling content production companies such as LeTV Pictures and Huaer Film and Television?
Second, Phoenix Fund is a capital that has recently gained fame in China. The US$8 billion acquisition of Uber (China) in August was astonishing.Now it has spent 82 billion to acquire LeTV's asset package.It can be described as ambitious.
I have done research, and the Phoenix Fund is registered in the capital.But its shareholders are: Jiuge Capital, Dayou Bank, and Zhaoshi Group.These are Hong Kong-funded and foreign-funded enterprises.Therefore, he is essentially a foreign-funded enterprise.This is a place worth noting.
In addition, I think the field of electric vehicles, which has always been favored by capital, is about to usher in a very powerful player.Other car manufacturers should be vigilant, the wolf is coming. "
The host said: "Okay, commentator. Let's look at the next news."
...

When CCTV's financial channel made a report, the three major domestic portals: Sina, Sohu, and Netease had already posted relevant web news.
The comments below are actually not hot.This is normal.Ordinary netizens pay little attention to financial news.
But the spread of this information is terrifying.How many netizens did the country have in 2016?
Baidu Tieba, a popular post in a certain stock trading bar was highly liked.
"The headline needs to be long - the stock price of LeTV is about to rise sharply. If it doesn't rise to 170 yuan, I will live broadcast and eat. Please monitor."
Tonight, among the webpage news refreshed by the browsers of various mobile phones, basically every time a set of news is refreshed, there is a piece of news related to the acquisition.These are articles written by the media.
The well-known domestic financial portal "Phoenix Finance" also launched a review article at night: On the layout of Phoenix Fund!
"Phoenix Fund has foreign capital behind it, and it is aggressively expanding its territory in China. It has successively set foot in real estate, travel, film and television, electric vehicles, and mobile phones. They are trying to create a closed loop of users."
At about nine o'clock, just after returning home, Lu Yu received a call from her assistant on Phoenix TV, telling her about the information, "Lu Yu, I just found out that the actual controller of Phoenix Fund is named Jing Gao. He is currently in Live in the capital."
"Help me contact the Phoenix Fund. I want to interview Xia Jinggao." Lu Yu walked into the room with his mobile phone and kicked off his shoes.
"Ok."

Compared with the analysis of financial professionals on the Internet and the heated discussions in the media, Zhang Zhao, the CEO of LeTV Pictures, is a bit overwhelmed.
LeTV holds about 51% of the shares of LeTV Pictures, and the rest of the shares are scattered in the hands of various star shareholders.LeTV suddenly announced that it would sell its shares in LeTV Pictures. Who wouldn't ask about it?
Zhang Zhao answered the phone calls from all kinds of ghosts and snakes in the office, "Yes, yes. The price of LeTV Pictures is 45 billion yuan."
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Jia's price is too unkind. The shares in our hands have shrunk significantly. Wasn't it still valued at 98 billion yuan in May? If you do this, you will offend people."
Zhang Zhaodao: "Hey, we, Mr. Jia, mean that LeTV Films sells 50 billion, and Huaer Films sells 10 billion. You know Mr. Jia! He doesn't value money. However, the people of Phoenix Fund insist on only giving 45 billion. It is estimated that It’s also to better recover the equity in everyone’s hands.”
"Oh?"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Zhao's cell phone rang again.He will be very busy today.There are so many shareholders in LeTV Pictures!
He started a new round of "explanations", or rumors.In short, he needs to seize control of LeTV Pictures.

China's electric vehicle industry began to rise last year.A lot of capital is pouring in.In addition to traditional car companies manufacturing electric vehicles, such as BYD, BAIC and so on.There are also a number of Internet car manufacturers emerging.The main players are "LeTV", "Nio", "Lixiang", "Xiaopeng" and so on.
According to the name in the media, "new car-making forces".The target is "Tesla" in the United States.
In 2016, LeTV is still at its peak.Of course it's starting to slide down a little bit.It broke out in mid-September that it was in arrears with mobile phone suppliers.But there is no doubt that LeTV Super Car is the darling of capital.
In the early morning of September 9th, the day before yesterday, LeEco founder James Jobs announced at the LeEco Video 20 party that the first round of financing for LeEco Super Cars had been completed.The amount is $919 billion.
Participating capital includes: State Grid's Yingda Capital, Shenzhen Venture Capital, Legend Holdings, Minsheng Trust, Macrolink, Hongzhao Fund and other well-known institutions.
Not to mention the Phoenix Fund announced today that it has invested US$5 million in the A+ round.It's really "crying wolf".
The Wechat group of "Car Making Circle" is very lively tonight.
"President Li, what do you think?"
"I'm not Yuan Fang."
"President Wang has given you a meal. Everyone, hurry up and read it. I will reprint the essence of the passage. It is as follows: Phoenix Fund has no operating experience in the auto industry, so they just make strategic investments. Why are you calling yourself a wolf? Scared yourself Myself. LeEco has big problems.”

In the capital, the night gradually darkened.
In the office of a real estate sales company, the lights were still brightly lit at ten o'clock at night.Liu Sumei sat in the booth, concentrating on the email on the computer.From time to time, ask the progress of the team members in the work group.
She is rushing a contract text.It will be used in the negotiation with Party A tomorrow.
At this time, Shen Ran came in from outside with a bunch of supper, milk tea, and coffee, "Come here and get them." Then, he took a cup of coffee and put it in Liu Sumei's hand, and whispered: "Master, Boss Jing is famous .”
Liu Sumei's figure is convex and concave, with slender curves.Her palm-sized face was exquisite and flawless, and her big eyes were as dark as jewels.She gently pushed down her seat, turned to face Shen Ran, drank coffee, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Shen Ran showed Liu Sumei the news on his mobile phone, "The companies under his name have all been hacked. It is estimated that his net worth is no less than 120 billion US dollars."
Liu Sumei glanced at the phone, slightly surprised, "Ah, I really didn't expect that!" She didn't expect Jing Gao to be so rich.
Shen Ran said: "Master, the takeaway jade tofu he gave you a few days ago is really delicious. I called just now, and the hotel over there said they don't deliver takeaway."
Liu Sumei couldn't help laughing, and said, "Shen Ran, you've been a little flustered since you bought a house in the capital. What do you compare with him? He's an authentic rich man. We are all ordinary people. Go to work!"
Sending away the apprentice who was shy and flattering her, how could she not see his little thoughtfulness?Shen Ran is not an honest person, she doesn't want to fall in love with him.Moreover, this is the apprentice brought out by her.Thinking about that scene, it was simply too inconsistent.
Liu Sumei smiled and shook her head, thought for a while, and sent a message to Jing Gao with her mobile phone.

At the same time, when there was a pot of boiling water in various domestic circles, Liu Qing, Didi's president, had just stepped off the plane that landed in Beijing.Hurriedly dragging the suitcase.She just came back from talking about financing in Silicon Valley.
Since mid-August, Uber (China) has launched a full-scale subsidy war, burning US$8 million in funds every day.She is full of confidence in front of her colleagues in the company at all times, but the pressure on her shoulders is very heavy.
Just as he was thinking, Liu Qing's cell phone rang, and it was Cheng Wei who called, "Liu Qing, have you arrived in the capital? The company's car is already waiting at the airport, so you go home and rest first. We will talk about work tomorrow."
Liu Qing handed the suitcase in her hand to the assistant, walked towards the exit with her mobile phone, sighed, and said, "Mr. Cheng, how can we wait until tomorrow? I just learned about domestic news. The Phoenix Fund acquired the assets of LeTV , and became famous in one fell swoop! I guess our investors will all be fluctuating."
Phoenix Fund's entry into other industries and fields has nothing to do with her.She didn't bother to pay attention.But the Phoenix Fund will make another 100 billion-level acquisition a month later, which will have a great impact on people's hearts!
On the same day, Ren Heyi suggested that Jing Gao acquire LeTV's asset package, and the effect is now showing.As an elite in shopping malls, Liu Qing is already aware of this problem.The financial analysis on the Internet simply misses the point.
This acquisition brought inestimable "fame" to Phoenix Fund!
Cheng Wei also sighed, and said again: "There will always be a way. The funds on the Didi account can last for half a month."
Liu Qing said: "I'll go back to the company and have a meeting with you." Then she hung up the phone.After thinking about it, I called my friend Guo Lingyu in Goldman Sachs Asia, "Lily (Lily), I want to entrust you to talk to Jing Gao from Phoenix Fund."
Guo Lingyu's English name is Lily.
After ten o'clock in the evening, Guo Lingyu was drinking tea leisurely outside, looking at the night view of Victoria Harbor, said with a smile: "Jean, I have already contacted Jing Gao, and we have agreed to meet and talk in Shanghai the day after tomorrow. I am waiting for your call , give me a confession."
Liu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, Guo Lingyu was still very reliable in her work.She greeted Guo Lingyu before.The current Jing Gao is not something anyone can see if he wants to.So far, no media has been able to obtain his photo.
If you contact the Phoenix Fund now, it will be too late after ten days and half a month.She wants to know what Jing Gao thinks?Can they coexist peacefully?
"Okay, I'll send you an email later. Lily, I'll wait for your news."
