Ma Teng's face changed again and again, and his heart sank.

Could it be the rumors leaked from within the company?

Could it be that Zhibei revealed it to him?

He couldn't think of the reason, so he had to ask directly: "The recent financing is not smooth, there is a problem, but, brother Yi, how did you know?"

Yi Feng smiled mysteriously, and said: "Your version update has been slow recently, and the product has no cashability, and it's not a problem to keep burning money."

"So... this is my guess, I didn't expect it to be right."

There was a bit of embarrassment on Ma Teng's face, but he didn't expect the company's predicament to be seen.

But whether he could see it or not, someone told him. Ma Teng didn't know what to do, but he couldn't make more suspicions.

"Fengshen, you said just now that you can cooperate with us, so what can you do?" Zhang Zhibei was straightforward, and asked Yi Feng for a solution.

He was really worried.

Koukou is the painstaking effort of him and his team to develop it together, and he doesn't want it to end without a problem.

Ma Teng shook his head secretly in his heart, he didn't expect Zhang Zhibei to be so impatient, in this way, the delicate balance between himself and Yi Feng was broken!

In the later chats, I lacked confidence, so I must have been at a disadvantage.

But Zhang Zhibei spoke out all his requests, so he had no choice but to say: "Zhibei is still too impatient, brother Yi, don't mind."

Yi Feng smiled: "I can understand Brother Zhibei's mood."

"Just now I did say that there is room for cooperation, and... there is indeed a way for Penguin to overcome the current difficulties."

Zhang Zhibei looked excited, and hurriedly asked: "What way?!"

Ma Teng was also greatly moved and listened attentively.

He came here to meet Yi Feng at the beginning because the 361 project could be realized, and then he made blood for Penguin Company, transfused blood, and tided over the difficulties.

Now that Yi Feng has a solution, he naturally wants to hear it.

Yi Feng stretched out a finger and said calmly: "First, financing. First of all, financing continues to expand the server, maintain the operation of the enterprise, and develop products."

Zhang Zhibei and Ma Teng were taken aback for a moment, then looked at each other in blank dismay.

What kind of solution is this?

If he could really get funds, he wouldn't come here.

"Uh, brother Yi, we are indeed looking for financing, but you also know that there is an Internet bubble crisis in the U.S. stock market. The news is jittery, and the Asian financial crisis has only been more than a year. It is too difficult for Internet companies to raise funds. Capital is also very cautious."

"It's not easy to raise money in the current environment, where else can I go to raise money?" Ma Teng sighed.

For several nights he had thought about selling Penguin and starting all over again.

Yi Feng smiled and said: "Mr. Ma, the reason why I say that is naturally for my reason."

Ma Teng was taken aback for a moment, savoring his words carefully, and suddenly said in amazement: "Could it be... Brother Yi, you, can you raise money for us?!"

Yi Feng nodded, "I can invest 100 million in your Penguin company."

"Uh... 100 million? But..." Ma Teng was a little disappointed, feeling that 100 million would not solve the problem at all.

But his words were directly interrupted by Yi Feng.

"President Ma, don't worry, listen to me." Yi Feng's tone became stronger and stronger.

Because he is now the active party.

"Uh, well, I'm the one who is in a hurry, brother Yi, please tell me." Mr. Ma said with a wry smile, feeling that Yi Feng was in control now.

"I not only invested 100 million in Penguin, but also, I can help Penguin achieve more than 1000 million in revenue within one year!" Yi Feng said confidently.

Ma Teng and Zhang Zhibei still don't understand the profit model of Penguin Koukou, but he does.

There are many ways to earn tens of millions of dollars a year. Now Koukou is the largest social software in China, with 500 million registered users and 10 real-time online users!

But this year is also the most difficult year for Penguin, and there is a risk of bankruptcy at any time.

"What?! Thousands, tens of millions of revenue?!" Zhang Zhibei and Ma Teng said in unison, equally astonished.

They don't know where Yi Feng's confidence comes from, but looking at Yi Feng's appearance, it doesn't look like he is joking.

There is no need to joke about this.

Ma Teng took a deep breath and calmed down a little.

Such conditions are extremely attractive. Although the investment of 100 million is not much, the revenue of [-] million makes him even more tempted.

He doesn't even doubt that Yi Feng has such ability to independently develop 361 software, and he is definitely not a fool to start a business at a young age.

But to be able to make such a condition, he must have something he wants!

Ma Teng looked at Yi Feng, and asked calmly: "Brother Yi, you must have asked for this condition, right?"

Yi Feng poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Indeed, as I said just now, I am very interested in Penguin Buttons, and I agree with its prospects, after all, I am also using Buttons myself."

"My investment of 100 million is just a stepping stone. It is my original intention to participate in the operation of Penguin Company and help Penguin Company to do it."

"Indeed, I have a request. Ming people don't say dark words. For a cash investment of 100 million, I want 10% of the equity."

"If I can achieve more than 1000 million in revenue within a year, I want an absolute controlling stake of 51%."

Ma Teng and Zhang Zhibei were silent when they heard the words, each had their own thoughts.

Zhang Zhibei originally had little equity, so he didn't care. What he cared about was whether Koukou could survive, and then successfully make tens of millions of dollars and develop.

But Ma Teng is different. He has the most equity, currently accounting for 40% of the shares. IDG and Telecom invested 220 million US dollars last year, each accounting for 20%. The three parties add up to 80% of the equity, and the remaining 20% ​​of the equity is Zhang Zhibei and three other co-founders share it.

Ma Teng drank the tea poured by Yi Feng, and did not speak in a hurry, but was thinking carefully.

Investing 100 million to get 10% of the equity is not much. For Penguin, which is short of money, this money can be said to be a life-saving spring.

But...if you achieve tens of millions of revenue, you need to take an absolute controlling stake...

He can't make independent decisions on this point, because he doesn't have absolute control.

But he is also very excited about Yi Feng's tens of millions of revenue. If it can achieve that level, Penguin can be said to be revitalized.

Only by living can we go to victory, this is the truth he understands.

If refused... whether Penguin can survive this year is still unknown.

"Brother Yi, are you really sure you can achieve tens of millions of revenue within a year? Really?" Ma Teng asked solemnly.

"What if, I mean if, you can't do it?"

"Do you dare to make a betting agreement?"

Yi Feng naturally understands what a VAM agreement is, it is an agreement between the two parties to bet on a certain matter, which is often attached to the investment and financing.

For Yi Feng, making a VAM agreement couldn't be better!

"Of course, Mr. Ma, we can make a VAM agreement. If I can't achieve tens of millions of revenue within a year, I can add an additional investment of 500 million without additional equity."

"If I can achieve tens of millions of revenue within one year as promised, then I will get a 51% absolute controlling stake."

"I can sign this gambling agreement with all the shareholders of Penguin Company." Yi Feng smiled, with a calm expression and a confident tone.

Ma Teng was even more moved when he heard that he would invest an additional 500 million yuan if the bet failed, instead of increasing the equity.

If Yi Feng is really allowed to achieve tens of millions of revenue within a year, then it is not a bad idea to give him an absolute controlling stake of 51%.

Because of the annual revenue of tens of millions, the company's market value will reach hundreds of millions. At that time, the value of each person's equity will increase by more than ten times.

Zhang Zhibei was very excited when he heard this, and wished he could agree to Yi Feng immediately, but was interrupted by Ma Teng raising his hand when he was about to speak.

Ma Teng narrowed his eyes, stared at Yi Feng, and said with a smile: "Brother Yi's proposal is really good, but this matter is of great importance, and I still need to discuss it with other shareholders."

"How about I give you an answer to Brother Yi in a few days?"
