Chapter 484: Hit Him with Money

On the way back to the magic capital from Hangzhou, Yu Wenfei and Hu Jingjing sat side by side in the back.

Although Hu Jingjing has not yet suspended her studies and is still studying, she has been working for a while, and she does not look like a young college student, but more like a beauty in the workplace.

Today she is wearing a black professional suit with gold edges, and the style should be Chanel's.

With her income, she naturally can't afford to buy such expensive clothes, and it is estimated that the family business has been good recently, and the cost of living has risen again......

The car drove smoothly, and the driver in a suit was sitting on his lap and driving intently.

Yu Wenfei sat in the back row, opened the small table, and put a laptop on it, frowning and looking at the information on the computer.

Hu Jingjing was a little bored, looking at the east and west for a long time, she couldn't help it, so she asked Yu Wenfei curiously: "Mr. Fei, there are so many people in our company, and now you are personally at the helm, why do you want to poach people from the outside and give him shares." ”

It is normal for her to have such questions, whether the company's executives should be trained internally or recruited from the outside, which is a problem faced by many companies.

Besides, an old employee like her, starting from Knorr, has been working hard with Yuwenfei. Until now, I haven't had the opportunity to get the original shares of Facebook, why can an outsider come over and be a CEO, with an annual salary of nearly 10 million, and a lot of original shares.

This made Hu Jingjing's heart a little unbalanced.

Yu Wenfei smiled and patiently explained to her: "Jingjing, you must know that some talents cannot be cultivated internally! Take people like Cai Congxin, who graduated from an Ivy League school with a doctorate in law and economics, has work experience in a big law firm, has engaged in investment banking work, is proficient in finance and law, has an international vision, and has many contacts in the venture capital circle. Tell me, how can our company cultivate such a person from within?"

Cai Congxin is not an ordinary so-called workplace elite, this is a top talent!

Such a person cannot be cultivated internally, he needs to be trained for many years, has worked experience in many large companies, and is the best among them.

In the end, it stood out.

A talent like Cai Congxin is not worthy of being owned by a small company, and it cannot be used. Yu Wenfei thinks that Alibaba's platform is too small, and a company like Facebook will be more suitable for him, and he will have his own development strategy in the future, and Cai Congxin will be able to achieve greater results if he controls the company and implements it.

Hu Jingjing nodded ignorantly, she still can't understand how rare a talent like Cai Congxin is!

Needless to say in the long run, after winning Cai Congxin, this financing, the company's valuation is not too much, and it is no problem to rise by another two or three hundred million, and VC will accept it willingly.

............

After returning to the company, there was no news from Xue Chunhe, and he should still be communicating with the SoftBank headquarters for evaluation, after all, it was a huge investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, and he must be cautious and cautious.

It's okay in this way, after Cai Congxin has dealt with Ali's affairs in a few days, after coming to report, he can directly participate in the negotiations with SoftBank.

For SoftBank, Cai Congxin is more familiar with it than Yu Wenfei, after all, the big financier on Ali's side is also SoftBank, and the two sides have dealt a lot.

Taking advantage of this gap, Yu Wenfei found the company's legal consultant, and he had to make up for some procedural loopholes first, so as to save trouble in the future.

At the behest of Yu Wenfei, the legal counsel drew up a contract, the main content of which was the agreement between Facebook and Star Technology on user resource sharing and technology exchange.

Although Star Technology is the holding company of Facebook, Facebook will go through multiple rounds of financing in the future, there will be many shareholders, and some things still need to be clarified in advance.

The contract stipulates that Facebook and Star Technology will share their user resources free of charge. In other words, Facebook's user data interface is open to Star Technology and can be directly connected. And vice versa.

At the same time, the two sides can communicate with each other in terms of technology, and cross-authorization can be carried out, which is also free of charge.

Yuwenfei is leaving a way back for the launch of WeChat in the future, and the WeChat project department is subordinate to Star Technology, but its launch must rely on the user resources of Facebook. But after WeChat is done, it can in turn feed back to Facebook.

It's okay to say that the two projects belong to the same company, but now that they are separated, Facebook will also have many shareholders in the future, and if this matter is not clarified now, then it will be a big trouble in the future.

Now both companies are in charge of Yuwenfei, and they are still 100% controlled, so there is no problem at all in signing such an agreement.

After this matter was settled, Yu Wenfei breathed a sigh of relief, and next, he waited for Cai Congxin to come over and negotiate with SoftBank's financing.

............

Just when Yu Wenfei was busy digging people, Xue Chunhe and his assistant had already flown to Tokyo, and he was going to the headquarters to report on the preliminary adjustment of Facebook and the results of negotiations with Yu Wenfei.

For this investment, the headquarters has been very concerned.

In the conference room of the SoftBank headquarters building, Xue Chunhe, dressed in a straight suit, stood in front of the big projection and was talking.

On both sides of the large conference table sat senior executives from the headquarters, including Chairman Masayoshi Son.

After giving a detailed introduction to the relevant situation on Facebook, Xue Chunhe talked about the last meeting between the two sides.

In the end, he said aloud: "This is the current situation, Facebook plans to sell 10 percent of the shares, and the financing expectation is 32 million! ”

After listening to him, the executives turned their heads to each other, and everyone knew about Facebook's investment project in advance, and of course they were no strangers.

At the head of the conference table sat a short, stocky man, in his early fifties, with gray hair, who didn't look amazing, but this was the man who was at the helm of the SoftBank empire and held a huge amount of money worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

Masayoshi Son is a very decisive person, as long as he has his eye on the project, he will never hesitate.

In many investments, he usually only chats with the entrepreneur for a few minutes before deciding whether to invest or not.

Moreover, as long as he personally took action, it would not be a small amount.

It's normal to start with tens of millions, and it's common to start with hundreds of millions.

This investment in Facebook is also controlled by him personally.

In China, SoftBank has also invested in several large projects in the past two years, and Alibaba's 20 million is not in the front.

Like UTStarcom, Masayoshi Son and Wu Ying only met once, chatted for five minutes, and invested 60 million US dollars!

"Mr. Xue, what do you think of Yu Wenfei?" he asked calmly.

This is his habit, investment depends on people first.

Xue Chunhe was familiar with his style of doing things, and he had been prepared for this question, so he opened his mouth to answer: "Yu Wenfei, a genius boy, became the best-selling writer in China when he was in high school. In addition, in addition to Facebook, he also controls Knorr, the largest supermarket chain in East China! This supermarket has the same model as Costco in the United States, both of which are membership-based, and in more than half a year, 12 super stores have been opened, and the sales of single stores are amazing! It can be seen that Yu Wenfei's talent for how to do business is also amazing. Facebook, not to mention my introduction, has only been online for a few months, and it has already achieved the undisputed number one website of its kind. As for those competitors, there is basically no hope of catching up.

This person, if I want to judge him. In one word, it's amazing!"

His words were a good praise for Yu Wenfei.

Obviously, this is his own junior, and he does have a lot of achievements.

Whether it is public or private, Xue Chunhe hopes to achieve this investment, so in front of Son Zhengyi, he does not hesitate to praise him.

Son Zhengyi nodded again and again, the investment of 300 million US dollars is not an unacceptable number for him, as long as Facebook and Yuwenfei have enough potential, no matter how much money he has, he will not frown.

"Then, without further ado, within two days, we will prepare for investment negotiations, and two days later, I will lead the team to the magic capital and meet Yu Wenfei again!" Son said.

His so-called preparation for investment negotiations is nothing more than an internal discussion first, how much money to come up with, how much is the upper limit, and then how many shares to take, and what is the acceptable lower limit!

These things are certainly not considered during negotiations, but need to be determined in advance.

Negotiation is nothing more than to obtain the greatest benefits.

That is, to pay as little money as possible and get as many shares as possible......

During the internal discussion, Son put forward a suggestion, that is, there is no problem with the amount of investment, and 300 million US dollars can be given!

If the other party is not satisfied, a little more is fine, with a cap of 500 million.

But......

For ten percent of the shares, he was not satisfied.

"For a company like Facebook, the number of registered users will soon exceed 100 million! With the financing of at least 300 million US dollars, it is estimated that this amount of money is enough to support their listing. Even if it's not enough, at most another round of financing will be made. By the time of the second round of financing, we should not have much chance, because at that time, we are considering the issue of listing, and it is more necessary to bring in American investment banks. If we only get ten percent of the shares this time, then after the next round of financing, it will be diluted, and then we will have too few shares in our hands!

Therefore, it is necessary to take this opportunity to take as many shares as possible. I am also very optimistic about this company, and its potential will definitely not be lower than Alibaba. ”

Most of them agree with Son's suggestion, and capital is greedy.

While Son was generous, he had a bigger appetite.

When Alibaba raised money, he actually wanted to give 50 million US dollars, why did Lao Ma and Cai Congxin directly refuse, only 20 million US dollars.

It's because he wants too many shares......

Obviously, Son Zhengyi is aiming at Facebook again this time, and is ready to use money to smash Yuwenfei.

He didn't believe it, in front of hundreds of millions of dollars, the young man who was not yet twenty years old would not be moved.
