After half a year, the Bathing Network has continued to flood into the Chinese Internet industry.

Recently, there are rumors that the US IT professional website CNET will acquire Zhongguancun Online (http://www.zol.com.cn/), and the latter will then take the current e-commerce in Zhongguancun online. The new brand is unveiled.
According to internal insiders, the CNET's acquisition has already entered the designated account of Zhongguancun online. For this rumor, Zhongguancun online founding people Zhao Lei did not deny it, but did not disclose specific acquisition details, he said: "The specific situation will be disclosed after 11."
A high-level high-level CNET Chinese company revealed that this acquisition has been basically completed, and the details will be seen after eleventh. According to the reporter, it is currently spreading some related news in the industry, true and false, virtuality, and does not rule out the business operation behavior of the acquisition of both parties.
CNET is based on the Internet-based media company. After mergers and acquisition of ZDNET, the CNET in silence for two years, and recently launched a series of crazy M & A, including the acquisition of American famous website MP3.com and so on. In China, CNET's M & A action is also quite positive, soon, it even acquires a website that is a card information in Guangdong. It is reported that in addition to being negotiating Zhongguancun online, there is another IT product website is also in the CNET's acquisition perspective.
Zhongguancun self-proclaimed is "IT professional website" in Greater China, "is founded by Zhao Lei, Chairman of Beijing 800 billion Temetting Computer Technology Co., Ltd.. According to informed people, the main business is not very satisfactory for the main business of the PC, and the cash flow trend of Zhongguancun online is better. Zhao Lei sells this business, and does not exclude two possibilities: improve eight Billion-time cash flow status, or, completely set, escape from the network rivers and lakes.
Although there are also people who know Zhao Lei currently don't believe in the authenticity of this matter, but as a well-known and influence is not in the domestic website of the First Group Army, Zhongguancun can talk about 15 million US dollars in the line, it is really unexpected. .
However, contacting events that have been acquired by domestic well-known websites in the most frequently occurred have not been unexpected.
"Hot Money" floods into the domestic internet
On June 15, domestic famous search engine Baidu Company announced that 8 investment institutions, including Google, DFJ (three of the three major venture capitalists), and venture capital companies have completed Baidu's strategic financing, Google acts as One of the investors invested 10 million US dollars to Baidu.
On June 16, Shenzhen Tencent, who was listed in Hong Kong, was subscribed by overseas 158 times. Almost at the same time, the Ctrip.com released the announcement: Rakuten, the Japanese network retailer, and the public market acquired 20.4% of the shares in $ 110 million to become the second largest shareholder of the company.
At the beginning of August, InteractiveCorp, operating online travel services claimed that it would spend $ 60 million to acquire China's second largest tourism service network Elong.
Just when the reporter is ready to publish, there are rumors that Baidu is ready to acquire the hao123.com website, the latter is among the top of the browsing in the Chinese website.
Recently, there are even rumors that Yahoo wants to merge with Sina. Wang Yan and Yahoo China, China Zhou Hongyi subsequently denied this rumor, but interesting is that they are not willing to make further interviews. Yahoo China's public relations personnel even interesting reporters: this topic is "not suitable" for Zhou Hongyi. Zhou Hongyi is one of the entrepreneurs who have been successfully set in China when the Internet is in the Internet. The first time he sold the shares to IDG and other investors. The second time I sold it to Yahoo.
Although many people think that Yahoo and Sina merge rumors are not credible, there are also many people believe that they have a variety of reasons: one of the reasons: Sina's large shareholder Section Yongji has recently fascinated the biotechnology, maybe Set of shares in the IT technology field, transfer to the field of biotechnology, and this may become a catalyst for Sina and Yahoo.
III: Sina and Yahoo have a lot of places that can make up for it, Yahoo is not very good in mainland China and Taiwan's business, and in these two places, Sina's business is very strong.
The three reasons: the current Sina's senior manager is unlike the people of the entrepreneurs in the year, for them, Sina.com can sell to Yahoo, they can successfully set up, undoubtedly the best way out.
Reasons 4: Sina is no longer the original new wave, is a new wave of investors, from its marriage with the sun, you can see: What kind of capital operation is possible. Moreover, in the competitors, they will be sought after the second China Internet boom, and Ya Tiger will not remain silent.
Of course, this may also be Sina in self-hype, to get more media attention, and sell a good price. An industry insider also said that there are a lot of rumors, Google and other companies have become the focus of rumors, and they are rumored to acquire a portal in China.
No matter what the facts are, there is affirmation: use Internet companies as products, entrepreneurs and foreign capitals are doing a big sale, this kind of sale is "buying survive": buying people want a network to fight or say The people who are pulling the root, selling people must have a set or have a gold sewer. Excellence is acquired by Amazon and is a typical case.
Excellent network entrepreneur is completely set
On August 19th, Amazon.com, Nasdaq: AMZN announced that it has signed the final agreement, acquiring Excellence Limited in the British Virgin Islands, the latter operates an excellent website through its Chinese subsidiaries and related companies (Www.joyo.com and www.joyo.com.cn), Joyi.com is one of China's largest online book audio and video retailer.
Amazon is on the road to the Chinese market, through the bride of Excellence, step by step. Excellence will become the seventh global site of Amazon. Amazon bought this springboard for $ 75 million in the price, including about $ 7.2 million in cash and employee options.
The above two numbers showed two information: First, this acquisition is a virtual trick, no share option replacement; second, the entrepreneurs in Excellence is completely set, they are insisting on years I got a considerable cash.
The reporter interviewed the current executive, Lenovo investment, Amazon Chinese spokesperson, etc., but they all guarded the mouth. For reasons, Lenovo Investment Answer is: "Because the acquisition contract has not been fulfilled."
On August 31, the reporter dialed the mobile phone of the current chairman of Excellence. He is in Hong Kong, but when the reporter mentioned the intention, he said, "I don't have any opinions", but admit that "the acquisition process is not completely completed" It is the main reason for can't talk.
Lenovo Investment and Lei Jun said that "September after September can reveal transaction details" may mean: until September, many things in this transaction can be dust set. According to the public relations released by both parties: "In the case of the transaction conditions, M & A is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2004."
It can be seen that the old people of Excellence have come out to this time.
The current Excellence President Lin Shuoxing said: "Being a member of the Amazon family is a very good news for customers of Excellence."
The Lei Jun said: "This merger is the recognition of the achievements of Excellence Network for more than four years."
One of the Shareholders of Excoving Internet Shareholders, Liu Chuanzhi, chairman of Lenovo Investment Co., said: "We are very pleased that the world-class enterprise like Amazon is aware of the value and potential of Excellence Network in the Chinese market. We look forward to Excellence to the Amazon family to get more Big success."
The behavior of Excellence is only a drop of water, and we may have been able to see some essent from this case: domestic entrepreneurial people who are full of hopeful foreign investors and the reality are being played together. " The collective set is currently ", this time the first round of the Internet bubble is more gentle, but the impact is more violent.
The second round of the "Collective Covered"
There is a person who tells the reporter: Amazon negoties with Dangdang in contact with Dangdang, but when the network does not want to release all the equity at one time, and this is the first necessary conditions for Amazon's acquisition, so both parties Did not reach the final agreement, Amazon then turned the acquisition to the Excellence.
Amazon is not the only foreign company who wants to acquire Dangdang, and Betasman from Germany has also been negotiated with the Dangdang network. According to the information from Betasman: It is because it is too high for the value of the net, which hinders it to become the first domestic Internet large, but there is no doubt that when the net will sooner and sooner.
Compared with the hesitation of the network, the three entrepreneurs in the joint game are more decisive. Whether in the first round of the tide, still in the second round, Bao Yue Bridge, Simple Case, Wang Jianhua, these three white hands The programmer's behavior can be considered a typical representative of domestic Internet entrepreneurs.
In April this year, South Korea's Internet portal NHN Group signed a cooperation agreement with Haihong Holdings: NHN Investment of 100 million US dollars and Haihong Holdings established a joint venture company named "Ourgameassets", and both parties have 50% equity. It is reported that so far, this is the largest overseas investment in Korea Internet Corporation.
This matter is carried out in low-key and silence, and it has not caused too much attention to the media today. From the shareholding changes before and after investment, we can look at the process of three entrepreneurs such as Bao Yue Bridge.
According to multi-person data, the situation is as follows:
Lianzhong's registered capital of 2.5 million yuan, Haihong Holdings (000503) accounted for 79% of shares, founder Bao Yueqiao, Similan, Wang Jianhua, three people hold 7% shares. On April 9, Haihong Holdings signed an agreement with the cooperation between the Korea NHN Group on the joint maturity. According to the agreement, Haihong Holdings Overseas Company set up company OurgameassetsLTD. (Targetco), Haihong Holdings Overseas Company holds 79% equity in Targetco, and other shareholders hold their 21% stake. Since then, NHN has bought 29% from Haihong Holding Overseas Company with $ 58 million to buy 21% of $ 4.2 million from other shareholders, which places a 50% shares of Targetco, and become Targetco with Haihong Holdings. Common people.
Targetco has set up a foreign-owned enterprise in China ("WFOE"), and WFOE provides a full range of services to Lianzhong in an agreement and enjoys all the income of Lianzhong. That is, Targetco will become a joint actual operator and all the benefits of the joint, and the actual owner of the Lianzhong only has two legal people in Haihong Holdings and NHN. As a natural person, three entrepreneurs have no longer have a joint share, at least in nominal (they can also indirectly owns Lianzhong Shares through Haihong Holdings).
The Bao Yue Bridge did not deny the full set of presentation when he was interviewed by this reporter, but did not recognize it. However, according to the information learned from the reporter: Three entrepreneurs such as Bao Yue Bridge are completely set or most of the possible possibilities.
If the three people such as Bao Yue Bridge is completely set, they will get $ 14 million in cash, which will become one of the largest profiters in the existing tide of the second round. The Bao Yue Bridge with huge amount of cash is dominated by these money to a large extent, which affects the future of China's Internet.

China Angel Investor Collectively Rise
Sea
Where is the money of Bao Yue Bridge?
One is sure, will not lose or consume quickly. As the entrepreneur of China's first generation of knowledge, they know the hardships of entrepreneurs, and they also know the importance of cautious, of course, after investing, they have more informed investment. So, it is almost certainly definitely ...
One thing is also affirmative: they will use this money to do an angel investment.
The so-called angel investment is the investor and entrepreneurship, the preparatory investment before the so-called venture capital, can also be called seed investment.
Although the Bao Yue Bridge is already a billionaire, it is still needed to hesitate in the risk investment project of millions of dollars. After all, a project is one tenth of its own. Moreover, their investment experience is not enough, and there is no need to take such a big risk, so they generally choose some items of hundreds of thousands or even smaller.
At the same time, Bao Yue Bridge is to be favored by knowledge control, and more understanding of knowledge control, and more understanding of this understanding is difficult to move, which is a powerful binder between angel investment collaborators.
Of course, the partners of Bao Yue Bridge will not easily give up this lucky chance. They may continue to make the Bao Yue Bridge to seed, make the next success, and then sell it.
Although Hehong Holdings cannot be considered the first domestic investment in China, it is indeed the first-stream of investors in the steps of the Bao Yue Bridge. I don't know if the Bao Yue Bridge has also learned some truth.
If they can really become the first annoyer investor in the domestic economy, we don't have to worry that today's domestic Internet companies are currently present, but, it indicates that the rise of another round of investment and entrepreneurial climax.
Chinese people like entrepreneurship.
