Chapter 174: The New Year's Day

Earlier, I thought about not putting all my eggs in one basket.

However, after a long time, it was found that in addition to stock speculation, private equity investment, and venture capital, the real estate industry has the best prospects, and it is better than the former.

?? At present, Fan Liancheng holds a large number of real estate and real estate industry stocks,?? The assets in the securities exchange market have become a small amount, and the money owed to the bank is not in a hurry to be repaid, and there is still money to be taken out and invested.

Sitting on his sofa at the moment, Fan Liancheng is holding a small teapot in his hand, and the floor heating has never stopped since entering the winter, and he is wearing a round-neck black sweater.

He crossed Erlang's legs, and after a brief greeting, he said:

"Earlier I did think about investing in your company, in my opinion, it is similar to the Chinese version of the Amazon online store, and it is more in line with the needs of our users, I have bought some things from it, and the delivery speed is okay.

It's just that a little bit of the shares is difficult for me to be satisfied, and I discussed it with the people at Today's Capital, and the lady surnamed Xu quoted 30 million US dollars, which I think is too high, what do you think?"

Talking about business, not getting along with friends, with a bit of sharpness in tone,?? The purple sand pot in his hand is used to cover his hands, and he has caught a cold recently.

Jingdong, the boss of Niu Dongcheng, since the establishment of the company, has successively met many potential investors with money in their hands, and their brains are smart enough, and no one wants to offend, so he replied:

"My company may not be worth that much now, Ms. Xu should also include the long-term value,?? She, like me, is very confident about the future of Jingdong, and the business volume has been rising.

30 million sales in 05 years, 80 million sales in 06 years, and sales reached 360 million last year, a year-on-year increase of 35 percent,?? We have also built a super-large logistics system with an area of more than 50,000 square meters in several first-tier cities, and the delivery speed is faster than that of our peers, and I am confident that we will expand our sales to at least one billion yuan this year.

As long as Boss Xiao Fan is willing to raise money, I dare to pat my chest and guarantee that it will definitely bring you rich returns in the future. To tell you the truth, I used to be weak when I told investors, but now it's different, since it can be expanded to more than 300 million sales, I am sure to break through one billion, two billion, because it has cultivated a user group, and word of mouth has gradually hit out, and the national Internet base is so large, the market is not smaller than the United States. ”

Fan Liancheng nodded after hearing this, and told: "I learned about the specific situation before talking to that woman, I know the data, and I also know that you want to build a logistics system by yourself." How to say it, spending too much money, but it is difficult to guarantee profits, Amazon is doing so well outside, isn't it also sluggish after entering the mainland market, eBay is not much better, Dibao has proven that it works, you are now relying on advertising and subsidies to attract users, why do you want to snatch the market from it?"

"This one...... Those two American companies had money, but they couldn't figure out the environment on our side, and they didn't have the right managers. Dibao is now much larger, and there are a variety of goods inside,?? It is often cheaper than in physical stores, even if the cost of freight is included, and the quality and after-sales are difficult to guarantee.

We are different, direct bulk procurement to reduce prices, unified management to ensure quality and service, and when the transportation channel is built and perfected, the transportation cost will inevitably be reduced, which is equivalent to a comprehensive supermarket on the network, rather than a group of small traders gathered together to form a farmers' market. I admit that in the early days of some low-end goods, it is difficult to compete with Dibao, but especially in the sales of home appliances, I am very confident to do them, now build a logistics system first, the next step will be home appliances delivery, door-to-door pickup and maintenance, so that people can rely on Jingdong to meet all shopping needs without leaving home. ”

Niu Dong admitted that he really introduced.

The reason why I am serious is because I am about to be forced to death by loans and expansion fees.

There is little profit, and unlike real estate developers, who spend money to buy land, they can also use land loans to develop and continue to acquire land.

The banks have tightened recently, which has made it even worse to borrow money, and there is no perfect financing channel, and most of the Internet venture capital institutions that are currently active are foreign companies.

It's not that there are no rich people on the mainland, it's just that they don't have the habit of investing in the Internet, and they can't trust these companies that will only lose money but can't make money.

In addition to money, outside venture capital companies also have the resources to provide more financing and listing resources, which leads entrepreneurs to prefer to take money from well-known international venture capital institutions, avoiding the embarrassment of being forcibly interfered with by laymen in corporate decision-making.

Now look at it, the major shareholder of Dibao is the United States and the company, and the major shareholder of Tengxun is also a foreigner, and he is looking for people everywhere to seek investment, no one can look at it, how can there be so many beautiful things in the world that just want to pick peaches, but do not want to spend energy planting peach trees.

As early as when Fan Liancheng first took over the assets, he had the idea of investing in some Internet companies, and he was full of thoughts about making more money, and he couldn't even look down on the more stable casino shares, because the rate of return was too low.

Now there is an opportunity in front of him, in fact, he is more excited than Niu Dongcheng's boss guessed, and asked tentatively: "Next, you plan to shift the focus of development to the home appliance market?"

"Yes, I have been in contact with many companies, some in order to take care of dealers, unwilling to put the products on the Internet to sell, but more companies agree, after all, whether it is dealers or us, as long as they take the goods they have money to earn, can not touch the interests of those manufacturers, once the scale up, batch goods will definitely be able to continue to push the cost price down. ”

"In this way, I won't delay your time for the New Year, give me a number, how much do you want to take from me, and how many shares are you willing to give me?"

After Fan Liancheng asked, he continued quietly: "I have investigated, the strength of today's capital...... In fact, it's just like that, I have money on hand, and I know a lot of rich people, so it's better to help me squeeze them out, partner with me, and count tens of millions of dollars in business, I can give you more support, I dare not say more, it is not difficult for me to raise hundreds of millions of dollars. ”

These words of "showing off muscles" fell on Niu Dongcheng's ears, but they were all big truths.

With a subtle expression, Niu Dongcheng replied: "Boss Xiaofan's strength, my company is not as expensive as your ship, if I can cooperate, of course I am 10,000 willing." As for Ms. Xu's side, if you have an idea, just continue to talk to her directly, I can't help with this, but there is a premise, the right to speak must be in my hands. ”

“...... Of course, venture capital is not only to pressure the company, but also to invest in the founding team, I understand this reason, busy real estate has made me anxious, as long as there is no problem in the business, I promise not to intervene, at most just to discuss with you. ”

Hearing Fan Liancheng say this, Niu Dongcheng replied: "They are all shareholders, it is necessary to discuss and communicate, and the financing is ...... For $60 million, I hope to get $20 million, and a $10 million interest-free loan, and I and the other shareholders will dilute the shares proportionally, that is, you will have 25% of the shares after financing. ”

Based on the current market value of $60 million, the 40% of the shares on hand today are worth about $24 million.

The quotation is not as high as the Ms. Xu who was hung by Fan Liancheng at the dinner, but judging from the current assets and performance, it is not low, and the interest-free loan of 10 million US dollars is equivalent to making Fan Liancheng pay more.

Even the stock market is difficult to reflect the true value of a company, let alone the valuation of Internet companies.

He said to Niu Dongcheng:

"I can borrow $20 million, and I can lend $10 million to the company for about a year.

However, your offer is a bit high, and the shares given to me are too small, and today's capital invested in August last year, accounting for 40 percent, and I will double it this time, at least 40 percent.

The $10 million, I can get ten points of interest in the bank, which is one million dollars a year, and if I take it out to invest, I will have the opportunity to earn more, you can't bully me just because I'm young. ”

The price is sky-high, and the money is paid back on the ground.

Is Jingdong worth $60 million now? Niu Dongcheng himself is not confident, and if he doesn't mention how the future development will be, he will definitely be a little worse from the current point of view.

In the second half of last year, money was used to smash advertising, bringing a group of new users, which led to a crazy increase in sales, and since January, advertising efforts have declined, and sales have also declined,?? It is equivalent to spending money to buy prosperity, and if you calculate the accounts carefully, you will definitely lose money.

Millions of dollars were spent, not to mention millions of dollars in profits, and even 500,000 dollars were not brought back, and every order was at a loss, and the more you sold, the more you lost.

In other industries, this kind of business is obviously very unreasonable, and most Internet companies are like this.

I am actually quite satisfied with Fan Liancheng's offer, compared to more money and less money, it is more important to ensure that the company survives,?? Once the $30 million is in hand, if you don't look at it in the long run, you won't have to worry about it again at least this year.

What Niu Dongcheng thought in his heart was different from what he said, he tried to bargain and told Fan Liancheng: "I will give you 30% at most, don't say I don't agree, the capital will be the first to disagree today." ”

There was a precedent, Fan Liancheng got up decisively again at this time, and said: "At least forty percent of the shares, if it is less, I will go to negotiate the acquisition with Excellent Amazon, and I will play with my own buyer company and compete with you." If you think about it, you will give me an answer, if you can accept it, you can accept it, and if you can't accept it, you can only say that you regret it. ”

Some time ago, today's capital quoted Fan Liancheng for 30 million US dollars to transfer 40% of the shares as a whole, and now he is trying to take 40% for 20 million US dollars, which seems to be about the same, but investing 20 million US dollars in cash means that the possibility of Jingdong's survival and growth is also higher.

There are too many projects to invest in, as long as the public announcement is looking for projects, within a week, at least there will be thousands of start-up Internet companies interested, compared to creativity and strength, what is really lacking is investors and financial support.

So Fan Liancheng really doesn't matter, no matter what the long-term holds, he will suffer a big loss now, and he will definitely not meet the standards of businessmen.

Niu Dongcheng saw this posture of serving tea to the guests, and then thought of Ms. Xu, who was directly hanging at the dinner table and was in an extremely unhappy mood for a long time, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.

didn't say anything, got up and said: "That's it, I'll go back and discuss it first, and I'll give you an accurate answer in the next year......"
