Chapter 509 Investing in the Ark Company (Chapter 508 in the previous chapter, made a mistake) (Page 1/1)

Li Feng, who returned to Jiangzhou City, did not know that in the United States, far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, a joint strangulation against him was secretly unfolding. Old rivals Xu Jinlin and Leoper are back.

The weather in Jiangzhou has been rainy for days, and the wet and cold air makes the taste of cold winter even more unpleasant. At this time, many migrant workers are ready to return to their hometowns for the Spring Festival, so the streets of Jiangzhou City are much deserted, and there is no longer the crowded scene of the past.

After New Year's Day, the school entered the final exam stage, leaving many days of review and exam period, but there was no need to go to class, so Xue Yingying has also come to Jiangzhou City, this time the purpose of her coming to Jiangzhou City is to prepare for investing in real estate in Jiangzhou City, so after coming to Jiangzhou City, she bought a map of Jiangzhou City and rushed to various real estate projects non-stop.

Before the final exam, she had to find out the main real estate situation in Jiangzhou City and prepare for the investment after the Spring Festival.

Li Feng now has some money on hand, and it is time to buy a house in Jiangzhou City, so I also asked Xue Yingying to help him take a look by the way, and choose a house with convenient transportation and a quiet environment.

At present, the housing prices in Jiangzhou City have not taken off, and the price of most houses is at the price of 3,000 to 4,000 yuan per square meter, in Li Feng's eyes, this is simply the price of cabbage, so now is the best time to start, otherwise once the housing prices take off, with Li Feng's current value, I am afraid it will be difficult to afford a decent house.

However, he also does not want to spend too much energy on property speculation, although this is a good profit point, but compared to the Internet economy, it is still much worse.

At the beginning of the new year, at the beginning of everything, Li Feng was sorting out the main work in Jiangzhou City, and Lin Yuting called from the United States: "Hey, Li Feng, I have good news for you." ”

"Oh, I have only been away from the United States for a few days, and there is good news, and it is very efficient. Li Feng said.

"Listening to your tone, I don't seem to believe it. "This is really good news, we have contacted the founders of Ark, and they are really hoping to raise a sum of money and are willing to sell up to 49% of the shares to us at a price of 800,000 US dollars." ”

$800,000 is not worth mentioning for the Internet investment market, but for a start-up Internet company like Ark that has just been founded for a short time and may fail at any time, the asking price is actually quite high.

Basically, it is difficult for an Internet start-up project to be valued at more than $400,000, after all, these projects have not been tested by the market, and the probability of failure is very high, so no one will be willing to pour a lot of money into a project.

Even if the project of Ark Company is generally relatively high-quality and the founder is relatively good, it can only bring a certain percentage of points to the project, and any mature investment manager will not agree to such a high financing requirement.

"Wow, it's unreasonable for them to ask for such a high price. Li Feng was slightly angry when he heard this, "According to their quotation, isn't the overall valuation of the company more than 1.6 million, which is equal to 10 million yuan, and I think this quotation is a little higher." The overall valuation of the Ark Company cannot exceed one million dollars. ”

"Jin Wenyan and I think the same way, they are indeed asking a little higher. However, if they want to take more shares, their offer will increase. If we only occupy less than 20% of the shares, I believe that the overall valuation will be lowered a lot, and they will be very good at understanding our investment psychology. Lin Yuting said.

"Haha, sure enough, they are engaged in investment themselves, and they are also quite particular about their valuation. Li Feng said, "Although $800,000 is acceptable, we still have to negotiate some conditions, don't let a small start-up company bluff." Well, tell them that if you give us 50% of the shares, I'll agree to an offer of $800,000. ”

Li Feng knows that no matter how successful the Ark Company is in the future, the current Ark Company is worthless, nothing more than a few people, a few computers, and a website with little content, if you want to talk about core competitiveness, I am afraid that it is their new Internet investment concept, but this has not been confirmed by the market, if Li Feng did not know that it would grow up after many years, he would never spend this money to invest.

Start-up companies rarely have a say in the financing process, and if they want to raise funds, they must beg their grandfather to tell their grandmother, and even if someone is willing to contribute to them, it is impossible to accept such a high offer.

Now that the Pioneer Fund Company has come to the door first, they have to get up, which is very bad, and they can't be allowed to open this head, so it is necessary to suppress it appropriately.

Although Li Feng's condition does not seem to be much, it is essentially equivalent to depriving them of a controlling stake, so this is quite powerful. Since they are asking for a high price, of course they have to pay a little price, and it is impossible to give them 800,000 US dollars casually.

After obtaining half of the equity, neither the founding team of Vanguard Fund Company nor Ark Company can achieve control, and everything must be discussed and done, so that in decision-making, although Li Feng cannot occupy a dominant position, he at least has enough right to speak, and the founder cannot act at will.

Now that Li Feng is the financier, of course he is qualified to negotiate conditions, especially for this kind of start-up, it is impossible to be led by their nose.

"Okay, $800,000 for 50% of their shares. Lin Yuting thought for a while and said, "This price is reasonable, but it is equivalent to breaking their controlling stake, which is very critical, what if they don't agree?"

"Unless they're stupid, they're going to smile crookedly, and they're going to say yes? If they really don't, hang them for a few days and see how they react. Li Feng said.

For any founder, just a few months of hard work, using a few computers, to create a small website with no content, can make 800,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to a windfall, not to mention whether it is a controlling or not controlling, even if the entire company is sold.

"Got it. Lin Yuting said, "When this is done, I will almost return to China." ”

"Okay, I talked to your dad two days ago, but I didn't expect to talk about a new project, and you will help come up with ideas at that time. Li Feng said.

"What projects can you talk to my dad about, your career is not on the same channel at all. Lin Yuting didn't believe it.

"You'll find out when you get back, it's still a big project. ”

"Okay, sell it all day. ”

After hanging up the phone, Li Feng continued to sort out the work at hand. On New Year's Day, he had promised Xue Guoqiang that he would use the resources of Letong Company to promote the work of Galaxy Software.
