Shenhao started as a military training anchor

Analyzing the shareholding structure of Grab, the Southeast Asian Internet giant, we will find that although the two founders, Chen Bingyao and his wife, only hold 3.3% of the shares, their voting rights are as high as 60.3%.

It is equivalent to having one vote of decision-making power in the company.

Every entrepreneur will design the company's equity structure when starting financing to ensure that the company is controlled by them.

Therefore, although SoftBank, Grab’s largest shareholder, owns 18.6% of the shares, it cannot force or force Chen Bingyao and his wife to sell the company.
However, Grab's development has entered a bottleneck period. After dominating Southeast Asia, its market value has reached more than 300 billion. However, in the past few years, it has been internally consumed in Southeast Asia and has been unable to go out.

China, the United States...these big markets can only be coveted.

In desperation, we started to sink the market and expanded our business to Vietnam, Laos... these countries.

The market benefits brought by these countries are too small.

Unable to get out, and facing challenges again and again from Internet giants, Grab's market value has fallen below 100 billion.

The investors behind it are definitely not happy.

At this time, Holly proposed a merger and acquisition plan to transfer these capital to Yisu, which would arouse their interest.

Holly went to the North American market to make some noise, showing his determination to go global and competing with Uber in the North American and European markets, further tempting the major shareholders behind Grab to invest.

Then a price war started in the Indonesian online ride-hailing market, burning money fiercely. Grab could only hold on and consume its own cash flow.

When the money is almost gone, Grab will definitely raise funds again or from the stock market. In this way, shareholders like SoftBank will have reason to persuade Chen Bingyao and his wife to accept Holly's merger agreement.

The purpose is to protect the interests of investors and stop the endless money-burning subsidy war.

Chen Bingyao and his wife understand how fierce the subsidy war for online ride-hailing is in the Chinese market.

If the situation continues like this, the management will not be able to stand it.

In the end, they can only be forced to accept mergers and acquisitions and choose to join forces.

As long as SoftBank, the major shareholder, is dealt with, GGV Capital, Temasek, Hillhouse Capital, Toyota Motor... and other shareholders are basically a matter of one sentence.

The Shunwei Capital International Office established by Hawley in Singapore has already invested in Grab in Grab's just-completed Series H strategic financing, and has purchased some shares from the stock market for long-term holdings.

The shareholding ratio has reached 3.8%, becoming a Class B shareholder of Grab.

Once the acquisition plan is launched, Shunwei Capital will enter the game forcefully as a shareholder and kill all parties.

At that dinner in Singapore in August, Holly had already laid all the connections and was just waiting for an opportunity.

After hearing what Holly said, Zhao Dong, CEO of Easy Travel, went over it in detail in his mind, with a look of surprise on his face for a long time.

Mr. Huo, this capital player, is terrible.

He once participated in the merger of the two major platforms Didi and Kuaidi, which was completed through joint efforts when multiple capitals could not bear it. It is incomparable with Holly's method of laying out the entire chess game from the beginning.

Moreover, Yisu’s current valuation is not much higher than Grab’s market value, so it is directly aiming to acquire this listed company.

This capital game will definitely establish Holly's status as a big boss in the domestic capital circle.

He can really make outstanding achievements in every field.

Zhao Dong suddenly remembered a comment made by his colleagues to Holly: There was nothing that Mr. Huo didn't want to do, and there was nothing that Mr. Huo couldn't do.

I instantly felt that being Holly’s little brother was actually very fulfilling.

"I understand Mr. Huo. I will prepare to establish the North American Operations Department years ago. As long as you give the order, there will be more flowers." Zhao Dong said.

Holly smiled and nodded: "Go ahead."

He admires the CEO's execution ability very much.

The North American market needs to be captured, but it is not very possible to take advantage of Uber in a short period of time. After all, that is its home base.

As long as the movement is loud enough.

Indonesia is also making a false shot, and its ultimate goal is to acquire Grab, the Southeast Asian Internet giant.

Holly felt that his hands were a little itchy again, the same feeling he had when he made a strong purchase of Dior (China) last time.

Next year will definitely be the year when his career takes off again.

After finishing his instructions, Holly went to the rooftop apron. After Zhong Yiwen returned to the manor, she notified the crew members to drive a private business helicopter to pick him up in the high-tech zone.

At this point after get off work, I'm stuck in traffic when I go back.

Moreover, it takes more than an hour to drive from the High-tech Zone to the North District Manor. Holly can't wait to go back and hug his baby girl.

"Daddy is back, daughter." Zhong Yiwen gently put down Huo Xi, and the little princess ran over with crooked steps, shouting happily, "Daddy~, Daddy~"

Holly was stunned for a moment.

He rushed over and picked her up, fearing that she would fall, "My daughter is great, she can walk now."

Zhong Yiwen said: "When I went to pick her up from my parents, I saw her playing in the yard by herself, with the same expression as you. I was very surprised, but I was very excited."

Holly smiled and rubbed the little princess's cheek, "My daughter is so smart."

"It's just that he is too naughty and has caused trouble to my grandparents." Zhong Yiwen said with disdain.

"Hey~hehe~"

The little princess was happy and smiling happily.

Zhong Yiwen: "You are still smiling. If you disobey next time, your mother will criticize you."

Holly said dotingly: "Daddy is back, can you be naughty with me?"

The little princess turned over and hugged Holly's neck.

Zhong Yiwen: "Just pamper her."

There is nothing that can be done against the father and daughter.

Went into the restaurant and sat down to eat.

Holly said: "The food at home is still delicious."

Zhong Yiwen: "How about bringing the private chef with you next time?"

Holly smiled and said: "Sister Wen doesn't understand. As the old saying goes, a golden nest and a silver nest are not your own doghouses."

Zhong Yiwen said: "Have you ever seen a doghouse worth 19 billion?"

"Woof woof~ woof~"

Barton suddenly ran in and shouted twice.

Holly smiled and said, "Are you a sperm?"

The little princess waved happily, and Barton squatted in front of her to play with her.

It seems that they get along well.

……

In early December, Bai Jinpeng, Asia-Pacific head of Time magazine, sent a team to conduct a documentary interview with Holly, which was used as material to be submitted to the headquarters of Time magazine in the United States to participate in this year's annual CEO selection.

The last time Holly expressed his attitude to Bai Jinpeng in Beijing, he was only on the cover of Time magazine's annual CEO list.

Whether he can be selected or not depends on the vision of Time magazine’s senior executives.

The exclusive interview team is strong and led by the chief editor of the Asia-Pacific region.

Holly received them with high standards.

This kind of documentary interview is like an ancient historian writing an autobiography for the emperor.

Of course, Holly hopes that the chief editor can polish his pen and paint a good image for him in the international entrepreneurial circle.

While eating, we communicated about the interview process.

The team will follow Holly to shoot in his major industries, understand his industry and corporate culture, randomly interview company employees, and also go deep into the local public in Jiangcheng to listen to the public's evaluation of Holly.

"Time" magazine's annual CEO selection not only selects wealth, but also social influence and social contribution, and even considers the CEO's values... and other factors.

After all, it is a global release.

You must give global readers a comprehensive understanding of what kind of entrepreneur you are.

Finally, there was a face-to-face interview, with the chief editor of the Asia-Pacific region personally interviewing Holly.

Journalists from European and American magazines and newspapers have very tricky angles when it comes to asking questions. If you are not careful, you will fall into the pit they dug.

But for Holly, dealing with small characters like you is easy.
