Chapter 187: Capturing a Unicorn
"When Ahri was start-up, Jack Ma was very short of money, and he met countless investors in China, but no one was willing to invest. Later, he met SoftBank's Masayoshi Son through a referral from others, and Jack Ma and Son only talked for 10 minutes before getting a $20 million investment. ”
Son later said in an interview with reporters that unlike other entrepreneurs, when Jack met him, he did not talk about the business model or ask for money, but talked about Ahri's vision, and he could feel Jackma's determination and passion. ”
In order to find a reasonable explanation for his unscientific behavior, Ding Le turned his mind and thought of the meeting between Jack Ma and Son, which is regarded as a classic by the investment community.
"Listening to your introduction just now, I also feel this way, your persistence and enthusiasm touched me, one of the visions of our Galaxy Investment is to move forward together with those who want to change the world!"
Ding Le's words made Wang Tao listen to it with passion, and he had a feeling of hating each other.
"Our company is committed to bringing new perspectives to the world with technology and innovation, and the future is full of possibilities!"
Knowing the attitude of investors, Wang Tao is no longer so restrained, and he even shouted out the ambition that has been buried in his heart for many years.
In his previous life, when Ding Le was still the president of the branch, he was very obsessed with aerial photography for a while.
When he paid attention to this company, Dajiang had occupied 70% of the market share in the field of drones, firmly occupying the hegemony of the drone market. But how the master master rose before, he didn't know the process.
Now, through Kong Yang's more than 30-page report, Wang Tao's past and the development trajectory of the master craftsman in the past few years are clearly presented in front of Ding Le, and Kong Yang's due diligence is written in great detail.
Through his report, Ding Le knew that the master was facing the biggest dilemma since its establishment at the moment, and Wang Tao wanted to solve the difficulties faced by the company, and it would definitely not work without money, so there was a meeting between the two sides.
"Back then, Masayoshi Son used $20 million to buy a 30% stake in Ahri, and I want to follow suit today!"
Ding Le offered his own price with sincerity, and this result far exceeded Wang Tao's expectations.
When the master was established, Wang Tao raised 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and later the company suffered a financial crisis, family friends sold houses to help, and then when the company's funds were tight, his mentor successively invested some money, which did not add up to Ding Le's bid.
However, Wang Tao was not stunned by the price offered by Ding Le, after calming down his mood, he said: "Dajiang Company doesn't need so much money at the moment, 5 million US dollars is enough, and I will only give you 10% of the shares at most!"
The price offered by Ding Le surprised everyone, and Wang Tao's answer surprised everyone even more.
Kong Yang sat again, he listened to the conversation between the two, and he wanted to cry without tears, his boss was too tyrant. I knew that the boss was so generous, why did I bother so much, he really spent a lot of effort for dozens of pages of pre-investment reports.
Wang Tao's answer made him even more anxious, there are still entrepreneurs who think that investors are bidding too high, you really treat you as a Jack!
Wang Tao's answer also surprised Ding Le, Ding Le looked at him seriously, it seems that this person is really the same as described in the reports of later generations, he is a very assertive person.
The price has been reduced by three-quarters, and the shareholding has been reduced by one-half, so Ding Le is still advantageous.
In fact, Ding Le does not have the luxury of taking many shares of the master with his first investment, what he wants more is to catch Wang Tao's line.
Most of those reborn boys in the last step to the nineties of the last century, the era when the Internet was in the ascendant, the male protagonists relied on many halo blessings, and they casually hooked their hands like two horses as little brothers. And he was born at the wrong time, and he didn't even have a chance to pick up the leaks.
Now, he finally got a chance. The duck that flew into the bowl, Duan had no chance of letting it fly away.
Ding Le looked up at the window, the sky blue seemed to have been rendered with dye. He didn't seem to care on the surface, but in his heart he was already cheering.
Shakespeare wrote in the play "The Tempest": "All the past is prologue", which is equally appropriate to describe the development of enterprises.
With this investment, the master craftsman will get through the current difficulties, but as the business grows, there will be more places where money will be needed in the future, so he is not in a hurry now.
A person's vision and pattern largely determine the beginning and end, upper and lower limit of his life. People who really have a pattern care about more meaningful things and longer-term goals. People with a small pattern will be confined to one acre and three points of land under their feet, greedy for the small bargain in front of them.
"You're the first person I've ever met who took the initiative to reduce the amount of investment, and I don't think my decision was wrong, let's sign a contract!"
In business negotiations, sometimes, it is necessary to take the lead by surprise, and sometimes, it is necessary to strike while the iron is hot and do it in one go. Ding Le is at ease with these basic negotiation strategies.
From the moment Wang Tao stepped into the conference room, Ding Le has been guiding the negotiations in the direction of success.
After the negotiation, Liu Wen, the general manager of the legal department, and his staff quickly put the intention reached by the two parties on paper and drafted a contract.
Wang Tao took the contract, skimmed it roughly, and then picked up a brush and signed his name. Xia Xiao signed the contract as a representative of Galaxy Investment.
After Xia Xiao became the owner of Galaxy Investment, Ding Le deliberately changed the company's legal representative in order to facilitate her work.
The moment he put down the pen, Wang Tao finally unloaded the big stone in his heart, in order to raise funds, he often woke up in the middle of the night, so that at a young age, he had hairline troubles.
After the contract was signed, Ding Le was also relieved, he picked up the champagne that the staff had prepared a long time ago, and said to Wang Tao: "After signing this cooperation agreement, we will be a family in the future, and I sincerely hope that the master craftsman will get better and better!"
Wang Tao responded with a smile: "I will definitely not let Mr. Ding down, our product XP3.1 flight control system, next month will go to the snowy plateau with the scientific research team of Harbin Institute of Technology Pengcheng Graduate School to conduct field research, our products will make up for the gap in the field of domestic helicopter autonomous hovering technology, which is also a historic breakthrough of the master!"
Ding Le didn't expect that after the contract was signed, he got the good news, he was overjoyed and said: "It turns out that the master's technology is already so good? I know that no model can always stay ahead, only by continuous iterative evolution can we continue and be reborn in Nirvana, it seems that the master craftsman is just around the corner from taking off!"
"Just around the corner!"
Wang Tao echoed that the master craftsman was about to put on his wings to take off, which he never doubted, only God knew how he persevered in this matter before this and survived this lonely and long night.
Looking at Wang Tao's ambitious appearance, Ding Le seems to have more expectations for the future, what will the master who uses capital to mature look like?
