Chapter 716: Where there is money, there is technology

"Old Ma, how much did you just say to invest 200 million? This is a lot more than the 20 million US dollars we expected to need, how did you convince the other party?" Mr. Cai was a little curious, did Ma Yun impress the other party by depicting the company's prospects?

In fact, it is a bit interesting to say that Mr. Cai was originally in charge of the Asian business of a private equity fund, and before Ali Bar raised 5 million US dollars, there was this fund he was responsible for.

But Ma Yun not only got the funds, but also persuaded Mr. Cai, who joined the company with his own funds, served as the company's CEO at this time, and was also responsible for the establishment of a branch in Xiangjiang.

Because at this time, Ali Bar is an international trade platform, in Xiangjiang, it must have more advantages than in the mainland, Xiangjiang is the top economic center in Asia and even the world, after returning to the mainland, the role is more important, is an important window for China to communicate with the world.

Mr. Cai is not only the CEO of the company, but also supervises the company's finances, there are too few of them, although there are eighteen founders, known as eighteen Arhats, but most of them are responsible for technology, and some of them are family members of technical personnel, some study hotel management, some learn education, some learn marketing.

Some people are quite close in their majors, but what does it have to do with the operation of the website when you say that you study education and hotel management? It's not that they don't want to be responsible, but they can't afford it.

Fortunately, everyone has a common goal, and they are all working hard at this time, plus the last financing of five million dollars, they still hired a lot of people, and now the number of people in the entire company has exceeded 100.

But the company's management system, in fact, still has a lot of problems, such as a meeting, eighteen arhats have to be present.

"I didn't say much, just talked about the company's business ideas, as well as the development vision, that boss Wang said that he was willing to invest 200 million RMB, at first asked for 49% of the voting rights, and then I didn't agree, and took the initiative to reduce the voting rights to 40%. ”

"Lao Cai, you know these things better than us, you tell everyone, can we agree? By the way, he also said that he will delegate power, can you believe this?"

After listening to Ma Yun's words, Mr. Cai calculated in his heart: "Forty percent of the voting rights, this proportion is too high, and two hundred million RMB, according to the market value estimate, he will hold seventy percent of the company's equity." ”

"But we went to him for financing, so some of the company's technology, and talents, can be valued, and I will talk to the other party, give him 50 percent of the equity and 35 percent of the voting rights, and if necessary, change some plans, such as turning this money into a loan. ”

"As for his decentralization, we have to talk about it again. Actually, I personally prefer to cooperate with SoftBank, this company has a lot of technology that we urgently need, and if this company becomes a shareholder partner of our company, then the exchange of many technologies will be simpler, and our development will be faster. ”

"Old Ma, if it's convenient, I'll go to the capital with you and meet that Boss Wang again. ”

The others looked at each other and didn't have a dam. In fact, after the capital injection of 200 million, although their equity has been diluted a lot, the value of their shares has also appreciated a lot, and they have made money...... In theory, yes.

But this is not enough to satisfy them, their dream has not yet been realized, now they sell the company's shares, what can they do? They get together, they have the same dream, and even many people have taken out all their net worth, and some have borrowed money from relatives and friends.

At this time, the company has a new capital injection, which will inevitably develop faster, and perhaps their dreams can be realized faster.

"Mr. Cai, there is one more thing. Boss Wang said that he is still a shareholder of the Amazon in the United States, and he said that our company's model is not impossible to replicate. ”

Mr. Cai sighed in his heart, the shareholder of Amazonas, that is really knowledgeable. In this way, I am afraid that the condition he said will not be able to exchange for 200 million investment, and it seems that the conditions must be raised.

……

"Boss Wang, this is our company's partner and the company's CEO Cai Chongxin, Mr. Cai, about your company's capital injection into our company, come and talk together. ”

"Mr. Cai, please be seated. Wang Haoan looked at Cai Chongxin, who is also one of the most important in Ali Bar, and has led many major events in Ali Bar.

"Mr. Wang, listen to Mr. Ma, you plan to inject 200 million RMB into our company, right?"

"That's right, isn't it enough? I can increase it. ”

Wang Haoan's words made Mr. Cai's eyes squint, what is the reason why Mr. Wang is so optimistic about their company, and even has the intention of acquiring?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, we have no plan to sell the company, we just want to make an investment and make money together. ”

"I understand, so now you're here to tell me that I can fund you?"

Wang Haoan's strength made Mr. Cai unable to say a lot of words. What conditions haven't been discussed yet, why do you have to inject capital?

"Mr. Wang, our psychological price is to give you 35% of the voting rights and 50% of the equity ......"

"Is Cai always joking with me? Do you really think that your Ali bar company is worth so much money now? How many people do you have, how many businesses do you have, how much turnover did you have last year? Are you profitable? How many registered users are there? Will registered customers definitely use your products?"

Wang Haoan's series of rhetorical questions made Mr. Cai speechless. They have a lot of registered users, but in fact their turnover is very low, so it can be said that they are completely in the stage of accumulation.

"Mr. Wang, it's not that we don't want to give you more, but we still need to accept capital injections from other companies, such as SoftBank in the island country, this has been discussed for a long time, and it has basically been negotiated, just a little bit of detail. ”

"SoftBank is a company that focuses on investing in the IT Internet, and they have a wide range of software industries, and there are many technologies that we urgently need, and we can even enter the island country market, so that our Chinese companies can trade with the island countries through our platform. ”

Wang Haoan interrupted Mr. Cai's words again: "So what do you mean, your technology is not good enough, and you need other people's technology, right? I will invest 200 million in you, you can spend 100 million to buy technology, and the rest will be used for website upgrades and promotion, is there a problem with this?"

"If there's any technology you can't buy, I can buy it from the United States. By the way, I have also invested in many IT and Internet companies in the mainland, and I also have many talents in software, and I can also let them develop according to your company's requirements. ”

Wang Haoan's words can be summed up very simply, if there is money, there is technology!
