Chapter 611: The Dove Occupies the Magpie's Nest
At a bar in North Carolina, Lee wants to find Jimmy Green, who is drinking and partying through his friends.
Jimmy Green's luck is good, relying on his family's connections to open a real estate company, and he made a lot of money in the early stage.
Later, he accidentally invested in Tim Sweeni, who was in urgent need of money, although the shares are not much, but they have diluted 11.3% of the shares over the years.
At first, Jimmy Green only invested 20 million dollars, and now it is worth at least more than 100 million dollars.
Jimmy Green's investment was in trouble, the bank was reluctant to take out a mortgage, and if it weren't for the fact that EPIC shares would be worth more, Jimmy Green would have sold them long ago.
Jimmy Green, who usually loves to play, likes to squander and get drunk, and Li wants to see more people like this who get rich quickly and go bankrupt faster.
Jimmy Green was hugging a hot girl, already piston on the couch without caring about the strange eyes of others.
Li Xiang frowned when he saw it, in addition to the hot body, the appearance of the hot girl in other places is really too ordinary, purely relying on heavy makeup.
Jimmy Green recognized Li Xiang, Li wanted to make a gesture, and Jimmy Green understood that Li Xiang wanted to talk to him.
It didn't take Jimmy Greenson a few minutes to follow Lee out of the bar, and it was much quieter outside the bar.
"Li, you're looking for me on purpose?"
Jimmy Green can earn hundreds of millions of net worth, and naturally has a keen sense of smell, Li Xiang can find himself, and he must have something to ask for himself.
"I heard you're planning to borrow money?" Li Xiang asked directly.
Jimmy Green's face was a little ugly: "Who told you, I didn't borrow money, I just asked how much the shares in my hands are worth." ”
"I heard from my friend that you're going to borrow $100 million against EPIC shares? ”
Jimmy Green lit a cigarette and motioned to Li Xiang, who waved his hand and refused.
"You're going to buy my shares?"
Jimmy Green didn't bother to care where Lee wanted to get the news.
"$1.5 billion valuation, do you agree?"
Li wants to make a direct offer, as long as he can buy the shares in Jimmy Green's hands, then Shen Lang will directly control EPIC.
"1.5 billion dollars? Lee, that's a thing of the past, and since you're optimistic about EPIC, I'm optimistic about it too. Jimmy Green's eyes narrowed, and he shook his head in refusal.
"Do you have the money to continue to inject EPIC into it? It's not that I'm talking badly, Jimmy, it's the best option for you to quit in time now, and you can still make a profit, right?"
When the board of directors was held before, Jimmy Green's face changed as soon as he heard that Tim Sweeney was still planning to inject capital into him.
The real estate company is already in a hurry, and Jimmy Green even has to borrow money in order to keep his real estate company, and he still wants to inject capital into EPIC?
Dream on!
But Jimmy Green's face didn't show anything, he was still so calm: "Li, you can't help but underestimate my connections, I still have a lot of high-quality properties in my name that can be mortgaged, but I don't want to do it." ”
"1.6 billion dollars. ”
Jimmy Green's eyes lit up, "I'm sorry, but EPIC is the ...... I put a lot of effort into"
"Valued at $1.7 billion, this is my last offer. ”
Jimmy Green hesitated, and seeing Li Xiang's resolute eyes, Jimmy Green smiled and stretched out his hand: "I agreed, happy cooperation." ”
After signing the contract with Jimmy Green, Li Xiang directly remitted $192 million to Jimmy Green at a valuation of $1.7 billion.
Jimmy Green was content to sign his name, and his initial investment in EPIC was only $20 million, and now it has almost multiplied tenfold.
After also acquiring the shares in the hands of Jimmy Green, Shen Lang's shares became 59.7%.
The holding has been reached, and it can be said that Shen Lang has surpassed Timsweeney in the right to speak on EPIC.
Lee wanted to take the same approach and buy a 10.3 percent stake from John Waltson, who had originally backed Tim Sweeney.
The so-called support became worthless in the face of Li Xiang's constant high purchase price.
In just two days, Li wanted to achieve absolute control of EPIC for Shen Lang.
When Lee Xiang proposed to convene the board of directors again, Lee Xiang sat in the position of Tim Sweeni last time.
Tim Sweeney has been busy renegotiating a new R&D plan with the team for the past two days, and he has no idea that Jimmy Green and John Walson have sold their respective shares.
"Lee, you may be sitting in the wrong place. ”
Tim Sweeney tried to express his displeasure in a tactful tone.
"That's right, Tim, I'm officially informing you that I'm going to be the CEO of EPIC, and you'll be the head of the Fortnite project in the future, and I hope you'll be working well with me. Li Xiang said with a smile.
"What? Lee, you're not kidding, are you?"
Lee wanted to look at Jimmy Green, who immediately smiled knowingly and said to Tim Sweeney: "I'm sorry, Tim, I've sold my shares to Lee, you know my company is very cash-tight, I need this money that Lee paid me." ”
Tim Sweeney looked at Jimmy Green in disbelief as if he had been struck by lightning: "What did you say? Farke, you sold your shares to this Huaxia man?"
Jimmy Green nodded, then got up and said, "I'm here today to inform you, now there's nothing to do with me, I'll leave first, I hope we can see each other again in the future." ”
Jimmy Green walked in style, leaving Tim Sweeney stunned.
Tim Sweeney calculated quickly in his brain that now the shares owned by Li Xiang have reached a controlling position, and it can be said that the advantage is already on Li Xiang's side.
John Waltson also got up and patted Tim Sweeney on the shoulder: "Old man, I'm sorry, I also sold my shares, I hope you can understand me." ”
"Shet, John, why don't you support me either?"
Tim Sweeney has almost lost control of his emotions, and it only took two days to go from firmly controlling to now losing control.
Tim Sweeney almost single-handedly founded EPIC, but now he is almost giving EPIC to Li Xiang's rhythm.
John Wallson was also very guilty, sighed and said: "Lee gave me an unacceptable offer, I think Jimmy Green is the same, we don't want to continue to invest, even Huaxia's Penguin Group has withdrawn its shares, I also think there is no point in continuing to invest." ”
Tim Sweeney looked at the once indestructible partner who walked out on the front and back feet, and then looked at Li Xiang, who was still calm and calm.
"Li, what do you want to do now, you have the final say in this company. ”
Now Li Xiang replaces Shen Lang to hold 70% of the shares, which has exceeded the standard of absolute control.
Li Xiang smiled and said: "It's very simple, I just want to complete the privatization of EPIC, you can disagree, but I will inject capital to dilute your shares." ”
Tim Sweeney was already a little disheartened and had lost control of his own company, which was too big a blow for Tim Sweeney.
Timsweeney had heard of such examples before, but they had just scoffed.
Now that he is himself, Timsweeney knows the desperation of being controlled by capital.
"Forget it, I'm willing to quit, according to their valuation, I hope you run EPIC well, Fortnite is my child, I want to see him amaze the whole world!"
Li Xiang didn't care about Tim Sweeney's sadness at all, such things were commonplace for Li Xiang.
They are more ruthless in the venture capital circle than Li Xiang, and Tim Sweeney has gained a lot of money.
"Well, then I'll transfer the money to your account, and I promise you that Fortnite will satisfy you. Li Xiang said with a smile.
After completing the task assigned by Shen Lang, Li Xiang was also very happy, and the negotiation standard promised by Shen Lang, Li Xiang completed it very well.
All of them will be acquired at a valuation of $1.7 billion, and Li Xiang will also receive a reward of $10 million from Shen Lang.
