Chapter 385: Asking Price
This is the lucky person in the real sense of the word, although the person who had lunch with Chen Zier is also lucky to make people blush, but it will not be better than this...... No, it's the ugly ones who are luckier.
He talked about e-commerce, about the competition with Silicon Valley enterprises, about Ahri being an international site, and about how difficult it is for domestic small and medium-sized enterprises to do business... There are quite a few of them, some of which sound novel, and most of them are things that people can order their own products on the Internet.
Amazon is already doing it, 8848 is doing it, and people who don't understand it don't really understand the difference.
But no matter what, Chen Zier did come to listen to him, and he listened to the whole process, and invited him to leave after he finished speaking.
Dad Ma was in the second branch venue, when he bowed to thank him and then went off the stage to shake hands with Chen Zier politely, he did not return to his seat, but followed Chen Zier and left here directly.
In the venue, the white walls, exquisite European strokes, and elegant green curtains filled the hall with silence as soon as the autumn breeze passed.
Not to mention the horse painting vine, this is the lucky one in the real sense, the first.
……
"What does that mean, and do we have a chance next?"
"I saw this person go to Mr. Chen in the morning, and I don't know what he negotiated......
……
VIP lounge.
Chen Zier is ready, this is not the first time they have met and negotiated, he is too lazy to ask Ahri about the details, current situation, and vision, these Ma Dad have all said, obviously there is no doubt, do you have to pick two questions? He should not talk awkwardly anymore, and do not drag it out any longer, the previous plan was like this, wait for him to participate in the forum, and then talk to him about investment.
Because Ma's father is well-known in later generations, he actually has a little understanding of Ahri's financing history, at least many people know about Tsai Chongxin, who gave up his annual salary of five million US dollars, and it is also through this high-achieving student that Ma Yun came into contact with the managers of Goldman Sachs in the United States and received millions of dollars in investment.
Chen Zier can't remember how much it is, but there must be, and the time is in the second half of 99, not for long.
He also believes that through a series of contacts with himself, the other party must understand his willingness to pay money.
There are no major doubts on both sides, and even when he greeted him in the morning, he said that he was going to visit Hangzhou, which is not polite, if there is a chance, it would be good for the early Ahri Baba to take a look.
So after inviting Ma Yun to sit down, he crossed Erlang's legs and asked directly: "We have talked many times, this time I will go straight to the topic once: How much money does Ahri need?"
China's Yellow Pages sales are doing well, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation is also doing well, and Ma Yun himself has been to Silicon Valley many times to draw nourishment from the Americans, but when he founded Ahri, no one paid attention to it.
In Silicon Valley, he found 37 companies, and all of them were rejected, in China, the Liu brothers couldn't understand what he was talking about, Rebus thought he was a liar who engaged in pyramid schemes, and there were many entrepreneurs who had a bad first impression of him because of his thin body and ugly appearance.
If you don't want money at all, that's what he's experienced in the past six months.
Ahri is really about to lose her salary.
At noon, he was preparing for the final negotiation with Chen Zier, and before entering the room, he was still thinking about how to make Ahri's vision more convincing.
So Chen Zier's words...... In fact, he was a little caught off guard.
He glanced up at the young man, who was looking at him with a calm smile.
"I ......"
As soon as he said a word, he smiled, his face was full of folds, and he was about to shake his head and nod again, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for believing in me." ”
"In the past few years, I have found a lot of people, and I have traveled to Yanjing and Silicon Valley and finally ended up in Hangzhou...... After many failures and rejections, I still believe that Ahri has a future. ”
Chen Zier still smiled, "Give me a price, Mr. Ma." ”
Ma Yun was convinced, sure enough, he was still a young man with courage, and he was comfortable talking straightforwardly!
"$5 million, 20 percent of the shares......"
Chen Zier was stunned, sure enough, it was a lion who opened his mouth, how many members does Ahri have now, 5 million US dollars, and only 8 million netizens in the country!
People who have firm confidence in their careers are really different, not only do they think it's valuable, but they are not happy to sell themselves.
Ma Yun immediately caught Chen Zier's expression and added: "Mr. Chen, I have been to Silicon Valley many times, and I know that for a company, capital is very important, but some non-capital factors are equally important. ”
What he means is that Shengshi Investment is currently lacking in other places except for some dollars.
Li Zhonghong next to him was a little hesitant in his eyes, the price ...... It's a little expensive, what he said is not particularly reliable, the speech is good, but it makes him feel a little impetuous, although the financing of Internet companies is often tens of millions of dollars, but Ahri is only a small company, and 20 points of equity, or too little, what can be left of this to finance a few more rounds?
Both of them were waiting for Chen Zier's answer.
Chen Zier talked about other things, "Some time ago, I read a fragment of Mr. Fei Xiaotong's "Rural China" and I was very touched, it was the situation in the forties of the last century, when people in the city laughed at the countryside and were overwhelmed after being urged by the car horn. He commented that the rural people are not stupid, but the difference between them and the urban people is in knowledge or what they have seen. ”
"They haven't seen a car, they don't know what it is, they naturally don't know how to deal with it, it's like people in the city can't even drive pigs when they go to the countryside, this is not a matter of intelligence, and 'idiocy' and 'stupidity' can't be linked, it's just the difference between 'seeing and hearing'. ”
"I agree with the confidence in your speech that you just made, that is, you think you can make something better than the Americans, and you say that we are not stupid than them, that we have not been exposed to the Internet in the past, that we have not been exposed to e-commerce, but it is not a matter of intelligence. You say that we are not as good as others in hardware manufacturing, but we will not be worse than them in terms of software and brains. ”
"And you can speak fluent English, can be the fastest access to the latest information, Ahri's vision I also agree, many people today no one is really solving any problems, but you see the difficulties of small and medium-sized enterprises, I have not been in business for a long time, but I still understand the truth that there must be profits in solving other people's troubles. ”
It's all good words, these are both very good at persuading others to have a conversation, and you need to listen to it very comfortably, such as Ma Yun's 'thanks' at the beginning and Chen Zier's agreement, but if you want to start the price, it will make you feel pain.
Like what...
Chen Zier directly came to his stubborn temper and changed his original plan, he said: "Mr. Ma, your price is too expensive, otherwise, I will add another 5 million... For $10 million, buy a stake in Ahri 45. ”
Ma Yun and Li Zhonghong were shocked.
And Chen Zier still looked unfazed, and ended with a deep voice, "What do you think?"
