Chapter 184: Partners
Wang Ye looked at the information submitted by LISA and smiled slightly.
Now he is transferring part of the shares of Meigou.com this time, not only to appropriately reduce his shareholding ratio and cash out some cash in advance. A more important reason is to establish relationships with some influential investment banks in the Asia-Pacific region.
In the first round of financing on Meigou Online, the two investment banks that entered the market, Sequoia Capital and IDG, are all funds with an American background, which is to pave the way for going public in the United States.
In this round of financing, Wang Ye plans to introduce an investment bank with an Asia-Pacific background to pave the way for his future career development in the Asia-Pacific region.
Newly created companies are sometimes under pressure to survive and have no choice of funding sources. At that time, it would be good to survive, who is qualified to pick and choose.
However, a company that has developed to a certain scale and even has stable profits will definitely take into account more factors than just the amount of funds for investment banks.
Just like Wang Ye, choosing whose money to take is not to take, and a little more or less is no longer relevant to him. However, which investment bank can bring more benefits to his future development is the key factor.
Therefore, although SoftBank Masayoshi Son is known as the "Godfather of the Internet" and has indeed supported a large number of Internet companies, Meigou does not need his funds, because when Meigou was first established, there was no shortage of funds.
When it comes to the American background, SoftBank is certainly not as good as Sequoia Capital and IDG. When it comes to background forces in the Asia-Pacific region, SoftBank can't be compared with Temasek!
"Let's get in touch with Temasek and make an appointment to meet and talk. Wang Ye instructed Liu Ruomei.
Liu Ruomei led the way and went back to her small office to make a call.
Now Liu Tao has come to report, and he is also working in the chairman's office on the top floor. Of course, he is not qualified to have an independent office, so he can only temporarily set up a desk in Liu Ruomei's semi-open office, which can be regarded as following the study.
The first time he went to Wang Ye's office, which occupied an entire floor, Liu Tao really felt that his eyes were not enough like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Before this, he had never imagined that one person's office could occupy more than a thousand square meters!
The entire headquarters of Huashang International is not much larger than this area, but there are six or seven hundred people over there.
Because of this entire floor, there are three people working every day, Wang Ye, Liu Ruomei, and now there is another Liu Tao. So it was very quiet and solemn, with an invisible pressure, and even Liu Tao, a self-proclaimed bold, felt constrained.
Sitting behind his desk, his eyes were fixed on the 27-inch IMAC in front of him, but his ears were propped up to listen to Liu Ruomei on the phone.
"Mr. Li, hello, I am Liu Ruomei, the secretary of Wang Dong of Meigou.com. …… Yes, Mr. Wang preliminarily agreed to meet with you, and you can see when it is more appropriate for us to make an appointment. …… You can ?...... at any time Okay, then we will make an appointment tomorrow afternoon, at 3 p.m., at the No. 1 office building of Mingguang Science and Technology Park. Okay, Mr. Li, see you tomorrow. ”
After making the call, Liu Ruomei thought for a while and handed Liu Tao a large folder in his hand: "Tomorrow, Wang Dong will meet with Temasek to discuss the transfer of shares in Meigou.com, you should first take a look at these materials to understand Temasek's background and investment style." ”
Liu Tao nervously took it, what Temasek? How did he know about investment banking before?
In the past year of investment promotion in Huashang International, he has been in contact with small bosses in various cities every day. Although Liu Tao often bragged to his old classmates, he was talking about big business every day, and a business was hundreds of thousands, or even millions.
But he knows that what Wang Dong is going to talk about tomorrow is the real big business!
Maybe Huashang International's total sales in a year are not as good as the amount that Wang Ye talked about in the hour or two tomorrow afternoon.
The fingers that looked at the information trembled slightly, this Temasek is a bit powerful, several large state-owned banks in China have their investments, and they are billions or even tens of billions of investments at every turn.
Looking at the total assets controlled by Temasek as written on the data, and here it is written in RMB, Liu Tao counted it several times and still couldn't believe his eyes. That's 1.5 trillion yuan! Is there still such a bullish company?!
However, these astronomical figures also inspired Liu Tao's ambition. Isn't this the reason why I gave up the million-dollar jackpot at my fingertips in exchange for an opportunity to learn by Wang Ye's side!
I couldn't think of a big business before, but now I can ...... it myself This is a qualitative leap from talking about hundreds of thousands of small businesses to now being able to audit billions or tens of billions of big businesses.
So, after a year of real training and study, can I be qualified to participate in such negotiations?
Taking a step back, even if you are still not qualified to participate in a big business of this magnitude, then it should be enough to talk about a business of tens of millions and hundreds of millions!
If you can reach that step, you will not be in vain in the learning opportunity you have exchanged for a million prize money.
……
Let Liu Ruomei take Liu Tao appropriately, this is also Wang Ye's order, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. Therefore, at this year's annual meeting, the special prize given by Wang Ye added another choice in addition to the usual one million cash.
And this choice, for some, is an opportunity to truly change their fate. For these people, this opportunity is far more precious than a million prize money!
Liu Tao thinks so, he also chooses so, I hope that a year later, he will be worthy of this choice and the opportunity sent by Wang Ye.
Of course, this opportunity is not for everyone, such as assembly line workers or shop guides. The opportunity to study for a year by Wang Ye's side may not be as real as the million cash.
It's not that those employees are belittled, but their starting point is too low, and their comprehensive quality is relatively weak.
So for them, a million cash may be the opportunity to really change their life destiny.
This is also the deep meaning of Wang Ye's setting of the special award to be arbitrarily chosen.
……
At this time, in a suite of the Sheraton Pengcheng Hotel, Li Guanghua waved his fist excitedly after putting down the phone.
This time, he is representing Temasek Capital to compete for a new round of financing on U.S.com.
It is impossible for anyone living in Singapore not to have access to the products or services of Temasek's companies, as this vast capital empire controls almost all of Singapore's important sectors.
The output value accounts for l3% of Singapore's GDP and the market capitalization accounts for 47% of the stock market.
In the early 80s, Singapore's GDP growth averaged 6%, and between 1986 and 1998, Singapore's economy entered a miraculous stage of development, with an average GDP growth of 8.5% and an average return on Temasek's investment of 18%, making it one of the largest sovereign wealth funds in Asia.
Temasek has 21 large direct subsidiaries (or Tier 1 companies) and Temasek has a presence in seven of the 10 largest companies in Singapore. The output value of these enterprises accounts for l3% of Singapore's GDP.
According to foreign media estimates, the market value of shares held by Temasek Holdings accounts for 47% of the entire Singapore stock market, almost dominating the lifeblood of Singapore's economy.
As part of Temasek's domestic capital portfolio, it focuses on the following companies:
Port Group: 100% shareholding, the world's second largest port operator;
Singapore Power: 100% shareholding, Singapore's largest power company;
Singapore Technology: 100% equity, Singapore's largest electronic engineering services company;
Singapore Telecom: 65% stake, Singapore's largest telecommunications company;
CapitaLand: 61% stake, one of Asia's largest real estate companies;
Singapore Airlines: 57% stake, the world's second-largest airline by market capitalization;
DBS Bank: 28% stake, the leading banking industry in Southeast Asia.
……
It can be said that Temasek represents Singapore, and the background of this company is very deeply related to the "Lee family" in Singapore.
The Li family in Singapore and the major Chinese families around the world also have a very close relationship, and as far as Wang Ye knows, the Li family, the richest man in Hong Kong, has a close relationship with the Li family in Singapore.
That's why Wang Ye chose Temasek.
Connecting with this company means that it has a relationship with Chinese families in various countries around the world, and it will give you a lot of help when you expand your business externally in the future.
If you want to develop your career abroad, it has never been a simple thing, and you need to do a lot of foreshadowing. If you only rely on your enthusiasm and rely on your head iron to go to other people's territory to grab business, the cruel reality will teach you how to behave.
In this regard, mainland enterprises have suffered too many losses!
Therefore, Wang Ye's business has been limited to China for the past two years, and now Flower Story Cosmetics has begun to move towards the Asia-Pacific region. But that is also with the help of Watson's mature channels, and it cannot be regarded as going out completely on its own strength.
Why did the Danish Royal Fund not hesitate to give away part of the shares of Meigou to Frederick, and also give away part of the profits that were like a dream.
Of course, it is not that Wang Ye is obsessed with Isabella's beauty, nor is it just that the influence of the Danish royal family can add luster to his brand. The deeper reason is that Wang Ye wants to lay the groundwork for the expansion of the European market in the future.
And this time, Meigou once again opened the door to financing, just to welcome Temasek's entry.
Soon, Meigou.com will be successfully listed, and now the shares are changing hands, which is to cut out a large piece of their cake and welcome others to eat.
Is Wang Ye stupid? He shares his own interests with others for no reason.
Of course it can't be, but he understands a truth.
In this world, when your strength is not enough to monopolize all the profits, instead of passively waiting for others to snatch it, and then crying out for grievances.
It is better to take the initiative to choose a strong partner, when the partner shares a part of your profits, it will also bring you a strong boost and make your career development smoother.
