Chapter 187: Bidding (Still Missing)
After returning to the hotel, Li Guanghua didn't care about resting and immediately called the team for a meeting.
Although he only brought four people over during the negotiation, there were more than a dozen people in the team that actually arrived in Pengcheng.
This is a big business of tens of billions, and the support team must be extremely large, and if the dozen or so people brought in are too busy, there will be people flying over to help at any time.
The first task is to make copies of the materials that have been brought back and distribute them to everyone, and the first task is to verify whether the contents of the materials have really been put on the ground.
There is a big difference between the planned investment and the implementation of the plan, although Li Guanghua has actually believed what LISA said in his heart, but it is still necessary to strictly verify it.
The Temasek team is getting busy, while the team at another hotel, SoftBank International, has been notified of the formal interview tomorrow.
The news of today's meeting between Wang Ye and Temasek representatives is already known to SoftBank, and everyone has been waiting for the final notice.
I'm afraid that the notice I received is that the two sides have already negotiated, please be early next time. If that's the case, it will be too demoralizing, and this is the second time that SoftBank wants to take a stake in the United States.
For the first time, because the offer failed to satisfy Wang Ye, he was cut off by Sequoia Capital and IDG.
This time, I have to fight for everything.
However, SoftBank International will not be so hot-headed as to quote an outrageous price. In fact, their estimated market value of the U.S. online after listing is similar to Temasek's valuation, with a minimum of 25 billion and a cap of 30 billion.
Even Temasek's offer, SoftBank has also obtained a specific amount through its own channels.
Therefore, the valuation stated on the quotation submitted by SoftBank International at that time was also 20 billion US dollars.
Now that Temasek has returned to nothing, Son immediately convened a team meeting to discuss tomorrow's meeting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Temasek's $20 billion offer was rejected, and now we're going to discuss whether there's room for an upward increase in that amount. If it is not raised, I can't think of a reason why this price will be accepted by Wang Ye. Son said solemnly.
"However, if we raise the price again, we will be very risky, whether the stock price of Meigou can continue to rise after a period of listing...... the assistant said hesitantly.
Son set his sights on an analyst who specializes in researching and analyzing Internet companies in Asia, especially in China, and most importantly on companies listed in the United States.
He was also a little hesitant, and thought for a while before saying: "Since 08, the Internet economy has entered a harsh winter, and it has not begun to recover until the end of 10, and the situation has been improving in the past two years."
According to my follow-up research, the valuation growth rate of Internet companies in mainland China has generally exceeded that of similar companies in Europe and the United States. This also depends on the mainland's overall rapid economic development and the increasing level of national consumption.
Moreover, unlike other companies, this company is currently in a completely monopoly position in the mainland! According to what we learned at IBM and DELL, a month ago, Meigou placed a large order for these two companies and purchased a considerable number of servers.
I speculate that Meigou may be building its own data center, or even a cloud computing data center like Amazon!"
After saying this in one breath, the analyst also let out a sigh of relief, secretly proud in his heart. It has to be said that SoftBank's information collection work is better than Temasek's. This is also because SoftBank has invested in too many companies in the Internet and computer software and hardware companies, and a lot of information can be obtained in a timely manner.
Temasek, on the other hand, has a biased investment center towards traditional companies, and in terms of Internet-related information, it is naturally not as well-informed as SoftBank International.
"Mr. Liu, you are the person who is most familiar with the situation in the mainland, the company commissioned you to investigate the use of the 20 billion capital increase of Meigou.com, can you give an accurate answer now?" Son turned to a middle-aged man.
"Mr. Sun, I also just received the news not long ago, because Meigo.com buys land in various places and talks directly with the local government, the news is difficult to hear, and my people have also spent a lot of effort to confirm. This Mr. Liu first complained bitterly.
"So what the hell?" Son ignored his complaints, and just asked about the result.
"The land acquired by Meigou.com is indicated in the agreement signed with the local government to establish transit warehouses, logistics bases and cloud computing data centers, which are three major purposes!" Mr. Liu gave the final answer.
Sure enough, buying land on the U.S. shopping network is not that simple! Son's eyes narrowed.
Those who are familiar with him will know that this is Son thinking about important issues.
The whole room was silent, waiting for Son's final decision.
After more than ten minutes, Son opened his eyes and said word by word: "Our offer this time is valued at $30 billion!"
The increase of 50% also means that the acquisition of 100 million shares in Wang Ye's hands will cost a full 30 billion yuan! This is not a big deal, and it is 10 billion more than the first offer!
Son Zhengyi saw that Wang Ye's Meigou website was improved on the basis of the Amazon model. This young man's picture is not small.
Establish your own warehousing transit warehouse, which is the core asset of large-scale direct e-commerce, and Amazon has done just that.
In the mainland, the largest e-commerce platform, Moubao, did not engage in its own transit warehouse, that is because it does not do direct sales, but only provides a platform, on which thousands of small sellers operate their own stores and deliver goods by themselves.
However, Meigou avoided direct competition with a certain treasure and started a direct sales model, which is also the model adopted by JD.com.
However, the self-built warehousing and transit warehouse of Meigo.com is what JD.com did first and has not yet done. According to what Son knows, JD.com is also planning another round of large-scale financing, this time for which it will also build its own transit warehouse.
On the basis of the transit warehouse, Meigou.com has taken another step forward, and even its own logistics system has to be built, which Amazon has not yet fully achieved!
Masayoshi Son's SoftBank, whose investment targets are basically Internet companies, certainly knows what this means.
User experience!
This is the difference between life and death of Internet e-commerce enterprises in the next few years!
In the case of homogenization of goods and fierce price competition, e-commerce companies that can make users feel good shopping experience and are willing to shop here will survive, and the better they live, the larger the scale!
And those e-commerce companies that can't bring users a good shopping experience will be eliminated!
At this point, Meigou has been ahead of all e-commerce companies, and it is worth raising the valuation by 50% on this point!
As for the cloud computing data center, it can be regarded as an extra joy, and it may become one of the profit engines of Meigou in the future.
After all, a single cosmetics category is still too single for e-commerce platforms, and the upper limit of market share is limited......
……
Wang Ye is engaged in fierce negotiations on the one hand, and on the other side, in the stock market, Huashang International has once again become the most dazzling star.
Financing mergers and acquisitions, 38 stores of THE TOP SHOP in the mainland are about to open, and a series of good news have been continuously released.
This has also pushed Huashang International's share price to rise.
This is a very strange scene, it is clear that Huashang International stocks do not have any big money to make a bank. But the stock price is stubbornly sealed on the price limit board and has not been opened.
When Wang Ye occasionally paid attention to this scene, he was also a little surprised, thinking that there was really some money that he didn't know about quietly entering.
But when he thought about it, he understood what was going on.
That's what people want!
In the stock market, retail investors are often described as leeks, the target of big money.
But sometimes, the power of the small scattered people should not be underestimated.
Most commonly, when a small-cap stock is first listed, due to the winning system of the mainland stock market, a large number of outstanding shares are held in the hands of Xiaosan when the new stock is first listed.
At this time, it is the time when the power of retail investors is the greatest, and if there are stockholders, they should know that the stock of this new stock is also the most lively at this time.
Those who won the lottery, watched the excitement, and those with bad intentions, people from all walks of life gathered in the stock bar to express their opinions.
Usually, there will be a lottery winner who will post a call for all those who have won the lottery.
"Everyone holds the ticket in their hand, don't sell it, as long as we don't sell, the stock will never open the board! 20 boards just started, 30 boards are so-so, and 50 boards are not a dream!"
Theoretically, this is true.
The stock has just been listed, the shares in the hands of the original shareholders are restricted, and the tradable shares on the market are basically in the hands of retail investors.
But this situation, I'm afraid no one dares to think about it in my dreams.
One or two hundred boards in a row, what kind of concept is that, it is estimated that the market value of any company has been pushed to the first place in the world!
Moreover, how can ordinary people have such a big heart, many people win the lottery, and they are very happy to double it and earn one or two hundred thousand.
Therefore, when the stock price is pushed up, many retail investors can't sit still, for fear that they will suddenly open the board, and they will not be able to run out and make less money.
Especially when someone starts selling and there is a sudden increase in sell orders, it will immediately cause a chain reaction, like an avalanche. A moment ago, everyone was united in sealing the board, but now I'm afraid that I won't run fast enough!
……
Now this situation also appears in Huashang International stocks. It is said that Huashang International has been on the market for a year, and it should not be like this. However, Wang Ye has just swept away the outstanding shares on the market in the previous period.
That is to say, in the secondary market, the number of shares in circulation of Huashang International is very small, even less than when the stock was first listed!
In addition, the connection of Huashang International broke out to be very good, which made retail investors who still hold Huashang International shares in their hands reluctantly sell.
Everyone doesn't sell it, and they all think it's going to rise, so in this case, how can it be opened.
