Chapter 16 Acquisition of Chopsticks
The person in front of him surprised the two founders a little.
One man and one woman. The man is only 20 years old, and they didn't expect to be so young. The investors they have contacted before, which is not the old fritters who have been up and down in the mall for decades.
This is the first time I have seen such a young investor.
Needless to say, women. Both are programmers and spend their days with computers. I had never seen such a beautiful woman, and I didn't know what to say for a while.
Yang Di took the lead in breaking the deadlock and said, "You guys." My name is Yang Di and I am an independent investor. I'd love to shake your hand, but as you can see, my hand hurts. So, let's not be polite. Let's get started. ”
Since it is a commercial negotiation, it can no longer be the same as usual. Malls are bloodless battlefields, so they have to be tough.
Yang Di was preconceived and seemed to be resolute. The two founders are also, after all, they are doing technology, and they don't like intrigue. instantly had a good impression of Yang Di.
"Independent investor?" Ning Xuan looked at Yang Di in confusion.
Four people sat down on the couch.
Suhua took the lead in asking, "Mr. Yang, do you know what we do?"
"Of course, it used to be a GIF creation and sharing tool, and now it is transforming into a short video community. I never fight unprepared battles. Yang Di said directly.
That's right,Chopsticks was not originally positioned as community software.,It's just a tool application.,The general principle is to use pictures to make dynamic video effects.,Mainly rely on Weibo to survive.。
From the perspective of Yang Di's previous life, the transformation time of chopsticks was almost just before the arrival of the mobile 4G network.
As he spoke, he handed over a copy of the purchase book.
Cheng Yixiao took the book and said in surprise: "We thought you were here to invest." If it's an acquisition, I'm sorry, we can't accept it. ”
Yang Di knew that he would answer like this, and he didn't think about acquiring it. It's just a deliberate acquisition contract to put pressure on the other party.
"Don't worry, take a good look at the contract first. Everything can be discussed, isn't it?" Yang Di said toughly.
Ning Xuan looked at her students and felt dark. It's like never knowing him. Where is this still a student, it is clearly an old fritter who has been in the workplace for many years.
Tough men are the most attractive to women. Yang Di at this moment is charming.
Cheng Yixiao lowered his head and flipped up the contract. Suddenly shouted: "100 million yuan?"
Except for Yang Di on the field, their jaws dropped in shock.
To be honest, even the two founders don't know the bottom in their hearts, and sometimes they wonder if they have taken the wrong path. If it's not chopsticks, you can't go on at all.
As the core of technology, Suhua swallowed and spat, "Mr. Yang, are you really willing to spend so much money to acquire our company?"
Yang Di smiled: "Of course." I'm never kidding. ”
"Mr. Yang, let's be honest. We don't even know the bottom of our own hearts. 100 million is not a bit much. ”
Yang Di smiled: "Not much, not much at all." ”
You must know that in the previous life, the annual revenue of chopsticks was as high as 30 billion.
"I firmly believe that the direction of development of chopsticks is our future. It is a software that can change the lives of countless people. Yang Di said, and suddenly remembered the propaganda slogan of the chopsticks in the previous life.
So he stared at the two of them and said with a straight face: "I believe that you two can make every life be seen." ”
As soon as these words came out, they hit the hearts of the two of them. Isn't that what they've been meditating on day and night? Isn't that what they're developing this software for?
What they have been fantasizing about in their hearts, but they can't express precisely. actually said it so lightly from Yang Di's mouth.
Is this a confidant?
Unexpectedly, the two who were not understood by everyone and were stubborn were stabbed in the heart by a twenty-year-old young man.
To be honest, they thought that this Yang Di was a rich second generation who was sent down to practice. I stumbled on my own company.
But now it seems that this Yang Di is not just as simple as it seems.
His unique insights into the market and bold judgments. This kind of ability cannot even be achieved by investors with more than ten years of experience.
The two looked at each other, and both saw hope in each other's eyes. This young man is the noble man they are destined to be.
Suhua, as the core of technology, nodded to Cheng Yixiao. Indicates that he gave his approval.
Then, the next thing is Cheng Yixiao's room to play.
Even if the person opposite is their confidant, it's still a business negotiation. You can't push out your life's work as soon as your brain is hot.
"Mr. Yang Di, your proposal is very tempting. We're also sure you understand what our chopsticks are all about. But sorry, we don't accept acquisitions. ”
This is the bottom line of the two. If it is acquired, the two will become two technicians, wage earners. All the initiative was handed over to Yang Di.
They are lambs to the slaughter. If Yang Di wanted to kick them out of the company, it would be easy.
They will never trust a stranger easily.
Yang Di smiled, he expected it when he left. The acquisition letter is nothing more than an expression of one's determination and paving the way for the next step.
"Okay, so let's take a step back. I'll give you 80 million, and only a part of the shares. Nominally, the company is still yours. ”
"May I ask Mr. Yang, how many shares do you want to buy with 80 million?" asked Cheng Yixiao.
Yang Di smiled and said, "34%. ”
This figure is a very sensitive figure in the joint-stock system.
To put it simply, 51% want to be the power of life and death. And 34% is equivalent to a veto, and I can't decide what you're going to do, but as long as I don't agree, you don't want to do it.
This figure also reflects Yang Di's professionalism.
"34%!" Cheng Yixiao said in surprise.
"What's wrong? Yang Di asked confidently.
"No, no, that's not what I meant. Cheng Yixiao hurriedly explained.
"Mr. Yang, you spent 100 million to buy the entire company before, and now 80 million is only asking for 34% of the shares? ”
I thought it would be easy.
Yang Di continued: "I know. But I have something else. I hope both of you agree. ”
It turned out that there were other plans, so only such a bottom of the shares would be requested. This made the two of them have a very bad premonition in their hearts.
Cheng Yixiao cautiously probed: "May I ask Mr. Yang, what are your additional requirements?"
