Chapter 715: I Invest 200 Million
Ma Yun, a man who was jokingly called Ma's father by many netizens in his previous life, a man who claimed not to love money, and a man who said that he regretted founding Ali Bar.
In the future, he has many labels, but at this time he is an entrepreneur and an entrepreneur who is very short of money.
“…… We have raised $5 million from several investment institutions. But now the company needs to build a bigger platform, needs more funds, just to buy servers, product architecture research and development, it needs more than 100 million RMB, not counting the cost of other aspects. ”
"Sir, our company really has potential and meets your company's investment requirements, and I hope to get your company's investment, even if it is a little less. He was afraid that he would frighten the other party by saying too much money.
Wang Haoan smiled: "I voted for you, according to what you said, 100 million is probably not enough, I will invest 200 million for you." By the way, my name is Wang Haoan. ”
Ma Yun was shocked by Wang Haoan's investment of 200 million, and he still had a lot of words before he had time to say, so the other party agreed?
And how does the name Wang Haoan sound familiar, it seems that where have you heard it, where is it?
Wait, it can't be that Wang Haoan, right?!
"You, are you the boss of Anjie Holdings, the richest man in China?"
"I'm not the richest man in China, but the richest man in the mainland, but there are still many people in Xiangjiang whose assets are above me. Now do you believe that I can invest so much in you?" asked Wang Haoan with a smile.
"Boss Wang, why don't you take a closer look at the information I brought, it's so simple to decide?"
"yes, isn't that good? I've heard you describe it very interestingly, and since you are so confident, I have confidence in you. 200 million RMB, after we sign the contract, it will arrive the next day, so how many shares can I get?"
This is what Wang Haoan cares about, what is it to spend a little more money. At this time in his previous life, Ma Yun should have raised $20 million from SoftBank and other companies, and in the future, the boss of SoftBank became the richest man in Asia.
SoftBank is the kind of company that invests frantically in IT Internet companies, and it is also the company that owns the largest number of IT Internet companies in the world.
In the past life, many people said that SoftBank was an example of casting a wide net and fishing more, investing in several giant companies including Yahoo and Ali Bar, and finally making a profit that made many investors blush.
In the previous life, Ali Bar obtained all the assets of Yahoo Huaxia through equity exchange, including technology, which was also completed under the introduction of SoftBank, and it is precisely because of this that Yahoo has survived several difficulties, and the transformation is not a success, but it is not too a failure.
But in this life, maybe some things will change, and some of the technologies needed for the development of Ali Bar can be bought from other companies, or invest more money in research and development, so that when Ali Bar makes a lot of money in the future, you don't have to give too much money to those outsiders.
Ma Yun looked at Wang Haoan with some embarrassment: "Boss Wang, you have invested so much money, I really don't know how to give you shares." At present, the asset appraisal of Ali Bar is probably less than 200 million, but we believe that the valuation of many of these technical values is low. ”
"It's okay, then give me 49 percent of the voting rights, as for how much equity should be, just find some professional people to weigh it. ”
Ma Yun still did not directly agree, 49% of the voting rights, is already the largest shareholder, Ali Bar is not only their entrepreneurial Eighteen Arhats, there are other people who have voting rights, if they are united, Ali Bar, who has the final say?
"Boss Wang, shall we go back and discuss?"
"Yes, don't you think my voting power is too much? It's okay to lower it a little, but it can't be less than 40 percent, right? But the equity ratio can't be reduced, you can understand this, right?"
"You are the founders and want to be in control of the direction of the company, and I fully agree with that, and I don't want to leave the company behind. ”
"But to be honest, your model is not complicated, there is a company called Amazon in the United States, which has a lot of similarities with your business, and I happen to be the second largest shareholder of that company. ”
"If the company still needs funds for future development, I can continue to invest, which I believe other investors can't do. And you can find out that many of my companies, I basically don't take care of things, and I'm very willing to delegate power. ”
"So even if I'm the largest shareholder and have the most voting rights, the company can be handed over to you to take care of, and we're partners. With this funding, you can also realize your dreams faster. ”
In the previous life, Ali had a partnership system, and those former founders were all executives of the company, and they all had the opportunity to sit on the board of directors, and even the position of chairman.
Including the core of Ma Yun, he also chose to step down as chairman and semi-retire.
Many large companies have two management models, one is that the majority shareholder becomes the chairman of the board of directors, the decision-maker, and then hires professional managers to help the company operate, and the power is in their own hands, and it will be handed over to their families in the future.
The other is that the majority shareholder will hand over the position of chairman to a capable person, giving the other party the greatest power and the greatest trust, anyway, the ultimate power of the joint-stock company is in the hands of the shareholders, and the major shareholders have the highest power.
The chairman of the board of directors is nothing more than the management elected by the general meeting of shareholders.
For example, in the fruit company, Jobs only has a little equity, but he has become the chairman and CEO, and he has great power, and he has indeed led the company to develop rapidly, helping other shareholders make a lot of money, which other shareholders can't do.
Wang Haoan likes this system very much, he doesn't need to worry too much, the board of directors arranges one or two cronies, and the financial side arranges one or two cronies, when the company has major decisions, he just knows it, and when necessary, he can exercise the power of major shareholders and abolish those members of the board of directors, including the chairman.
You can have more time to enjoy life, and others can help you earn more money, so why not?
……
"Lao Ma, what are you calling everyone together for, what is the result of this trip to attract investment? Let me tell you, I have contacted several investment institutions, and they promised to give more investment this time, especially an investment institution in an island country, they also specialize in investing in the IT Internet industry, and they have a great say in the software industry of the island country, and may be able to help us break through several technical problems. ”
Ma Yun raised two fingers: "You don't need to go to anyone else, I talked to Wang Haoan, the richest man in China, and he promised to invest 200 million, 40% of the voting rights and the equity he deserves, let's discuss this matter." ”
