Chapter 1198: The Strength of the Stab
The news that Dadong Group gave up the D round of financing of Charm Xiuxiu quickly spread in the investment community, and such news could not be concealed at all, even if the D round of financing had not officially started.
The reason why Dadong Group gave up turned out to be financial difficulties, which surprised many people. Continue to inquire, when I learned that the third investment of Dadong Semiconductor was 10 billion US dollars, many people were convinced.
When will I be able to make a difficult investment of tens of billions of dollars?
……
Some people have sensitively discovered the opportunity here, since you are in financial difficulties, do you have the intention to sell the shares in your hands?
Soon, some people took action, and many people asked Boss Mu, Wang Xinlan, Feng Huan and others for news through various means.
The reply is very consistent: at present, Dadong Group has no plan to reduce its stake in Charm Xiuxiu.
Many people are strange, this sentence seems to be decent, but it is obviously lacking in confidence, not at present, will there be in the future?
This version of the reply quickly reached the ears of Cai Changsheng and Wu Zeyuan, and the two of them couldn't help but mutter.
What do you mean? When are you going to reduce your holdings?
If that's the case, it's great news.
However, in this case, your previous actions are a bit interesting, could it be that there is still your conspiracy behind the scrapping of that contract?
According to the current progress, at most one or two years, Charm Xiuxiu will be able to achieve overseas listing, and the value of the shares in your hands will be doubled, and fools will reduce their holdings.
Hehe, maybe it's just a smoke bomb they put out on purpose, just like we're putting smoke bombs on purpose.
Therefore, Cai Wu and the two discussed for a while. I just put this matter aside, there are too many things in my hands recently, and the D round of financing is about to start.
……
For Dadong Group, the shackles have been removed, and the reduction of holdings has become inevitable, but this matter needs to be done step by step, so that it is not easy to have any rebound, and it can also obtain greater benefits. After retaining 5% of the non-dilutable shares, the shares that need to be reduced in hand are as high as 20%, and it is best to sell them in small quantities many times, and there is still plenty of time.
However, the development of things was completely unexpected by Boss Mu.
……
Only three days after the signing of the contract between Dadong Group and Charm Xiuxiu, Ma Yu and Li Fu came together.
"It's strange to see the two of us together, right?" Li Fu said: "We are both directors of the Zhejiang Entrepreneurs Conference and friends for many years. ”
I see, Mu Dongxin said, and said with a smile: "I thought you were going to cooperate and sell cars on the Internet." ”
Ma Yu was stunned for a moment, and after two or three seconds, he said thoughtfully: "Don't say it, it's really good." Lao Li, otherwise, you take out 10 cars, and we will buy them online. ”
Li Fu also said: "It seems to be true, event marketing, a good idea." ”
"Hi hey, hey, I said it casually. Besides, it's my idea, should you pay royalties?" It turns out that cars haven't been sold on the Internet yet? Didn't they all sell helicopters later? What kind of games can you play pretending to buy airplanes or something?
Ma Yu said with a smile: "Of course there is no problem with royalties, according to our internal creative reward system, simple ideas are rewarded with 10,000 yuan, and mature plans are rewarded with 100,000 yuan.
"Well, I didn't say it. Mu Dong waved his hand.
"However, I really want to give a big gift this time, Mr. Mu, it depends on whether you accept it or not. Ma Yu said seriously.
En Mudong thought it was a little interesting.
Originally, the relationship between himself and Ma Yu can only be regarded as familiar, but there is no trust, this time Boss Ma dragged Li Fu over, obviously wanting to talk about something big.
Mu Dong said with a smile: "Okay, I am ashamed, but I am disrespectful, Mr. Ma's gift, I will definitely accept it." ”
When Ma Yu heard this, his eyes drifted to Li Fu, meaning: Dude, it's time for you to come forward.
Li Fu was also direct, and asked with a smile: "Brother Mu, I heard that you are interested in selling the shares of Charming Xiuxiu, is it true?"
Mu Dong instinctively wanted to deny it, but he immediately thought that after Ma Shoufu led the company to be listed on the U.S. stock market, he couldn't spend a lot of money in his hand, and he was afraid that he had taken a fancy to the share appreciation potential of Charming Xiuxiu.
So he said happily: "What do you really say? What do you say if it's fake?"
Ma Yu's eyes lit up, he felt it, as if there was a door.
Li Fu also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "If it's fake, then of course there's nothing to say, if it's true, how about selling it to Mr. Ma?"
Mu Dong said carefully: "It seems that Mr. Ma has a lot of spare money in his hands?"
Ma Yu immediately said: "Mr. Mu, as long as you are willing to sell, the price is easy to say." ”
Mu Dong was silent, and he suddenly realized that something strange seemed to have changed.
In his own memory of time and space, Mu Dong did not have the information that Ma Yu controlled the charm Xiuxiu, and furthermore, judging from the use of the charm Xiuxiu in his memory, Boss Ma should not have been in contact with the charm Xiuxiu, otherwise, an application software with hundreds of millions of registered users can at least become a user entrance to the e-commerce platform, and it is very suitable for beauty, women's clothing and other products.
But now, things seem to be different.
Boss Ma realized the importance of the Meitu App as a mobile Internet portal and planned to give it a try. And according to his style of acting, he will generally control the situation, that is to say, what Boss Ma likes is not the two jujubes thrown by Dadong Group, but all 25% of the shares in the hands of Dadong Group.
If Ma Yu takes these shares, and then spends a lot of money in the financing activities in the later stage of the charm show, it is very likely that he will control the situation, and at the worst, he can also become a major shareholder who can influence the situation.
So, here's the problem.
The reason why Dadong Group intends to give up the charm of Xiuxiu is because the latter's profit model is not clear, but if Ma Yu really intervenes, the profit model will be extremely clear, and the market value will continue to rise in the future, so that the exit of Dadong Group is very ridiculous.
Not only did they lose a great opportunity to make money, but they also lost face.
Hey, no, no!
Mu Dong immediately thought that if Ma Yu could not control Charm Xiuxiu, it would not be able to affect the business direction of Charm Xiuxiu, and it could only be used as a simple investment behavior.
So, can Boss Ma achieve a win-win situation between the charm show and the e-commerce platform through cooperation?
I'm afraid it won't work, the mode of cooperation is too loose, it is difficult to form a joint force, and it is difficult to have results.
Mu Dong suddenly understood that the shares in his hands had become an important factor in changing the future trend of Charm Xiuxiu.
This feeling of swaying the general trend made Boss Mu feel a lot better suddenly.
Thinking of this, Mu Dong said with a smile: "It seems that the big gift that Mr. Ma said is that in terms of price, it can satisfy Dadong Group?"
Ma Yu said: "If your company has the intention to sell, the price is easy to say. ”
Mu Dong: "Mr. Ma, according to the previous rounds of financing, you don't seem to hold any shares in Charm Xiuxiu. ”
Ma Yu said: "In fact, if we can get the shares in Boss Mu's hands, we will continue to invest later, if we can't get it, it doesn't matter if we don't invest in the future." ”
This is honest enough, directly revealing the hole cards, if the two sides really accept shares in the future, in terms of price, Ma Yu will not have much room to defend, which is indeed a super gift.
At the same time, Boss Mu also understands that aside from the future development factors of Charming Xiuxiu, the sincerity that Boss Ma is showing at the moment is a deliberate friendship.
……
Mu Dong did not guess wrong, after judging the possible commercial value of Charm Xiuxiu, Ma Yu thought of the shares in Boss Mu's hands, and formulated a strategy of being honest with each other.
As a successful boss, it seems a bit stupid on the surface to make such a strategy that is controlled by others, but Boss Ma persuaded the team to insist on doing so.
There are many reasons, such as Boss Mu's background, such as Boss Mu's strength, but the most important factor is that Mu Dong's vision of the village Tao project made Ma Yu really feel the necessity of befriending Boss Mu.
Also, Boss Ma has confidence in Boss Mu's humanity. He thinks that there is nothing wrong with revealing the hole cards, everyone is a person with status, and he must always take care of some face.
This can be regarded as a forced palace in disguise.
……
Mu Dong's last question was: "Mr. Ma, can I think that your goal is all the shares in our hands?"
Ma Yu smiled: "This is my ultimate goal, if I can get half of it, I can accept it." ”
Mu Dong understood, in this way, Ma Yu would have room to maneuver and could move forward gradually.
Boss Mu's reply was: "Mr. Ma, this matter is very important, and it will take me two to three days to give an answer." ”
Ma Yu: "Okay, I'll wait for three days." ”
……
The next day, Li Fu returned, and Ma Yu really stayed in Quancheng. And he didn't arrange other affairs, he lived directly in the Waterfall Villa, and put on a posture of touring the mountains and rivers.
Several key figures of the Dadong Group, after a comprehensive discussion, came to the conclusion that if the price is right, they can sell the current 20% of the shares of Charm Xiuxiu, and continue to hold the 5% of the non-dilutable shares for a long time.
It is difficult to make this conclusion.
Several people know that once Ma Yu intervenes in the business model of Charm Xiuxiu, Charm Xiuxiu has a great probability of riding the wind.
But what is frustrating is that if Dadong Group does not sell the equity of Charm Xiuxiu, this possibility does not exist, and Charm Xiuxiu may still be in a half-dead state in the later stage.
This is a paradox.
Well, let's deduce what happens after selling and not selling.
If you don't sell it, of course, it's very simple, you can only wait;
And if you sell it, you can not only get a reasonable price, but also achieve good cooperation with Ma Shoufu, and you can personally promote a half-dead big project, which seems to be very cost-effective.
As for why he sold 20% directly and left only 5% of the non-dilutable shares, it was because Boss Mu felt that there was no need to leave any tail, and since Ma Yu wanted to control Charm Xiuxiu, he would give his full support.
This is also a great favor.
You see, such a big favor has been given to you, and you have to show something about the price, right?
Well, the real reason is that this 20% of the shares, which will soon face dilution after several rounds of financing, can now be packaged and sold at a critical moment, which is good.
……
On January 21, when Ma Yu learned about the resolution of the Dadong Group from Mu Dong's mouth, the whole person was stunned.
He really didn't expect that Mu Dong would be so simple and willing to sell his current 20% shares, which greatly exceeded his expectations.
This was followed by surprise and emotion. The surprise is because after winning so many shares, the rest of the things will be very smooth, and the moving is because of the refreshment of Boss Mu.
He said happily: "Mr. Mu, thank you so much, you can rest assured, we will try our best to satisfy your company in the negotiation of specific rules." ”
Mu Dong smiled: "Mr. Ma, I made the decision, and I persuaded many subordinates for this. I think you have a big plan, which is very conducive to the future development of Charm Xiuxiu, and I have decided to support it strongly. ”
Although he had long guessed that Mu Dong would see the clues, hearing it with his own ears still made Ma Yu feel a little emotional.
Ma Yu said with a smile: "I know that I can't hide it from you, Mr. Mu, a company with a huge user base is definitely a gold mine, I plan to dig deeper." If you have any ideas, please don't hesitate to give us advice. ”
"No, if there is, I'll do it myself. Mu Dong said casually.
Ma Yu trembled in his heart, he felt, how could there be a hint of threat in this sentence?
……
On January 22, Dadong Group and Ali Baba Company officially launched the detailed negotiations, and the core is nothing more than the price, and the first round of negotiations is in charge of Feng Huan;
At the same time, Wang Xinlan went to Xiamen in person to inform and explain the cooperation between Dadong Group and Ali Baba.
Cai Changsheng and Wu Zeyuan were instantly stunned.
The two of them have been working in the Internet industry for a long time, and of course they know that once Ma Yu intervenes, they will definitely be even more crazy than Mu Dong, and the ultimate goal is definitely to fully control the management of Charming Xiuxiu.
My God, are we so lucky? There is a richest man in the front foot, and a richest man in the back foot, are we so destined for the richest man?
After a short period of shock, Cai and Wu immediately realized a problem, they were definitely tricked by the Dadong Group before. It's only been a few days since the shareholding agreement was terminated? You're selling your shares so soon? And all the dilutable shares!
So Wu Zeyuan asked: "Mr. Wang, does this matter have anything to do with the previous agreement between us and us to terminate the shareholding ratio?"
Of course, Wang Xinlan would not admit it, she explained with a smile: "Mr. Cai, Mr. Wu, we didn't expect the situation to change so quickly. After the abolition of our agreement, there was a lot of gossip that was unfavorable to the Dadong Group, and to be honest, we were a little anxious. Who knew that after the news reached Ali Baba, the other party was moved, came directly to the door, and put forward some conditions that we couldn't refuse, and we weighed it and felt that we could try to talk to the other party. Of course, everything is inconclusive now, and you have the right of first refusal to transfer the shares......"
Cai Changsheng and Wu Zeyuan were so depressed in their hearts!
The gossip that was unfavorable to the Dadong Group before was spread by the two of them, in order to grasp some initiative when diluting the shareholding ratio of the Dadong Group in the future.
Also, it's good that we have the right of first refusal, but how can we have the strength to fight with the richest man in Ma?
