Chapter 261: Countdown: Ten Months
It's another night of upside down, and it's no problem.
On the other side, after the sky was dark, Cai Zhaoxi dressed up to meet Marcus and Page, he still had a light beard, elegant manners, and looked much better than Chen Zier's ruthless and unreasonable 'barbarian'.
That's what Marcus thought.
However, in fact, Cai Zhaoxi behaved more toughly because of Chen Zier's 'strict order'. After sitting down, Marcus said the first sentence, Cai Zhaoxi shook his head and said, "I don't understand." ”
Although Marcus knew Chinese, he was still surprised, what does it mean? Send someone who doesn't understand English?
Forget it, and when it came time for the formal negotiations, Marcus reviewed his position the night before — that is, no higher than 5 percent — in broken Mandarin.
Cai Zhaoxi immediately stood up and left.
Marcus vomited blood, I just looked back!
Page couldn't understand it, and was in a hurry to wait for Marcus to translate.
The German big bald head originally wanted to be pressed below 5%, but he was uncomfortable by his hand directly off the table, to be honest, if Moretz allowed to say that he could give up, he would definitely spit on the face of the Chinese opposite, and then scold 'this business grandpa does not do'!
It's a pity he can't.
This may be the ...... I just like to see you grit your teeth at me and I can't help it.
Cai Zhaoxi's condition is 10%, this number Marcus does not agree with, his authority may be between 5-8%, the big bald head said after making a cross-ocean call, 10% is too high, no.
This is how the negotiations are carried out without any skill...... In the end, it is only possible to quarrel between 8 and 9.
Marcus also completely forgot about the 5% and 3% figures, and when Chen Zier was completely tough, he couldn't do anything at all.
He will probably never forget the second round of negotiations, when he said: '8 per cent no, let's talk about it to 6 per cent.' At that time, he had already raised his bottom line, but the other person on the other side didn't think about it at all, "Then you can go back to the United States." ”
!!!
Why do you Chinese send people back at every turn?!
in the company.
Cai Zhaoxi returned triumphantly, although he failed to win 10%, but he still managed to keep the bottom line of 8%, the final result was 8.6%, Moretz really took a fancy to Google, this kind of confident person will not easily change once he makes a decision, and Google is now operating very well, all kinds of data explosive growth, it is worth betting.
Google is indeed awesome, the Internet bubble burst in 2000, and in 2001, the whole industry curled up for the winter, freezing and starving, but can you believe that this company can make a profit?
The final agreement was that Chen Zier gave up his refusal to dilute the clause and instead had a limited amount of preemptive stock options, which was finally negotiated to be no more than 12%, which was relatively low, because Chen Zier's shares in China.com were too ruthless, and Sequoia Capital naturally chose to restrict Chen Zier in order to expand his stake in Google, which was also their purpose.
Now, in this round of financing, if Chen Zier does not spend money to buy Google's equity, then his share of shares will be diluted, and the specific dilution depends on how many shares Sequoia has, and then the three of them, Page, Sergey, and Chen Zier will give their shares in proportion, and of course a small part will be retained as an option incentive for employees.
Of course, if Chen Zier, as an investor, is still optimistic about Google, he can still make additional investments in the future, as long as it does not exceed 12%.
NOW CHEN ZIER IS NO LONGER A FOOLISH IDEA, WHETHER IT IS GOOGLE, BAT, FACEBOOK, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU HAVE A MARKET VALUE OF 60000000 OR 800 BILLION DOLLARS, YOU WAIT FOR THESE COMPANIES TO SUCCEED, YOU HAVE TO WAIT 5-8 YEARS FOR LESS, AND 10-15 YEARS FOR MORE.
Looking at those numbers, it is still very far away from looking at next year today, let alone 10 years and 8 years? When I first entered my freshman year, I still felt that my senior year was far away, and I felt this way in just four years.
Of course, these companies should still invest, Chen Zier has decided to set up a special Internet investment division, which is a profitable business, a business that can be bought and sold.
If you lack development resources, you should decisively give up a little in exchange for development resources and create wealth with your own hands.
Even if he Chen Zier fails, as long as he ensures that he is not kicked out, the remaining equity of the last few companies will still be enough for his family and children to live safely.
No worries, still cowering?
In fact, Chen Zier still values the stocks of China.com, this property can be cashed out immediately, with a large amount of funds, his real estate business can be expanded, pudding will have sufficient stamina, the project of the economy hotel can be more sure instead of only counting on Qin Ye, and the idea of electronic music players can also be realized more securely, all of which brings him a sense of accomplishment, far more than the equity certificate that is locked in the safe and waited for five or eight years to be valuable.
And the original shares of China.com...... 6+8.6 plus Ningya's trading there...... Not a lot.
Although millions of shares will be released in the capital market when he is listed, Chen Zier will definitely contribute a little as a shareholder, but more than 10% of China.com's shares have come into his hands, which is indeed a lot.
It's early May now, and it's early March next year...... In less than a year, this asset can cash out $600 million to $800 million, which is unimaginably large cash flow.
In 2000, Forbes ranked the richest people in the mainland, the richest people were the Rong family, with assets of $1.9 billion, and the second was the Liu brothers, with $1 billion.
At this time, there is no Ma Dad with a net worth of 30 billion, Wang Gonggong, and hundreds of millions of dollars are the mainland's huge rich, very, very large sums of money.
Chen Zier knows these 'histories', so he also knows that from the regional small rich to the national huge rich, this gap only gives him 10 months to prepare......
Thinking about it, he seems to feel a little unprepared... Just kidding, how can he have the kung fu to be hypocritical.
And there is another point, in the previous life, China.com did not acquire any portals, but now they are different, they have Home Credit, the first portal in the mainland, and the capital market is definitely more optimistic, and the portal era is not a blind call.
$5 billion may not be the apex of China.com's market capitalization.
Thinking of this, Chen Zier felt that the decision to sell Home Credit to China.com and the past year or two was too genius!
Two days later, lawyer Yan of the company's legal department was sent by Chen Zier to sign a formal contract with Ning Ya, Yang Runling of the United States has cashed out Apple's shares, and now they are all rising markets, what Microsoft, Yahoo, Apple, Cisco stocks, buy more, sell less, how many people can't buy with dollars in their hands, because everyone is not stupid, no one wants to sell, unless there is a special reason.
For example, the 30,000 shares that Chen Zier bought before, such a small amount, the capital market ate it all at once, and it was not enough to plug the teeth, so it didn't take much trouble at all.
The stock price was fixed at $79.8 that day, with $2.39 million in cash out and $1.5 million needed to trade with Ningya.
More than enough.
At Pudong International Airport, Page and Marcus took off, and a few days later, Yang Runling and Han Qian landed, and the next thing Chen Zier had to do was wait, and the ten-month countdown had begun.
Ten months later, his life will change again.
