"Boss, what do you think if someone can give you 4 million?" Chen Cong forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and finally said what he had been trying to say for the past six months.

"No one will invest in me now, I have contacted everything I can contact, and now the valuation they give, 4 million, the company is almost sold out. Li Shengli sighed.

"If the last test passed successfully, I have already arranged the follow-up and have some orders. It is planned to wait for the orders to be digested and carry out financing, and the company's valuation will be at least 60 million to 80 million. Li Shengli sighed, "Now, this step has failed, but at least half of it." They can only give a valuation of 12 million. According to this financing, after a few more rounds, the company basically has nothing to do with me. ”

"Mr. Li, actually, I have money?" Chen Cong's voice was not loud, and it was particularly clear in the empty church.

"Are you rich?" Li Shengli looked sideways at Chen Cong beside him, "I know you have money, otherwise what kind of store would you open." ”

"I mean, whether you want two million, three million, or ten million, I have it. Chen Cong stood up, stared at Li Shengli and said, "Mr. Li, I believe in you." If you don't dislike it, I'll invest in you, and you can have as much money as you want. You have the final say on the company's valuation. ”

Li Shengli's face instantly became a little flushed, and then he touched Chen Cong's forehead with some disbelief: "You didn't talk nonsense?"

Chen Cong didn't speak, dialed the bank's inquiry number, turned on the speakerphone, and soon the voice in the microphone came to Li Shengli's ears, "Your account balance is one hundred and twenty-five thousand ......."

"Mr. Li, this is just my pocket money. Chen Cong hung up the phone, took out the car keys in his pocket, and said, "This is the car key of the Mercedes-Benz S, I really have money." ”

"......" Li Shengli stretched out his right hand and pointed at Chen Cong tremblingly, but did not speak.

"If you don't dislike me, I'm on the list of excellent shareholders. I'll be able to put the cash on your desk next Monday. Chen Cong continued.

"Are you sure you have money?" Li Shengli's voice trembled a little.

"Sure. ”

"Are you sure you are willing to invest as much as you value, even if it is 60 million?" Li Shengli continued to ask.

"Sure. ”

Chen Cong's answer was very firm, but in his heart, he thought of it, 60 million, Lao Li, you did it.

"It's not enough to have a million, it's not a game, I'm going to see if you have enough money before you decide. Li Shengli thought for a full minute before speaking.

Chen Cong didn't speak, picked up the phone again, dialed the phone of the securities company, and when he inquired about the fifth account, Li Shengli finally waved his hand, sighed deeply, and said, "No need." ”

"Mr. Li, how about it, my money, do you want it?" asked Chen Cong, feeling nervous in his heart.

Li Shengli looked at Chen Cong, and his breathing became short: "What is the highest valuation you can accept from the company?"

"Mr. Li, you can just look at this. Chen Cong knew that his answer was very unprofessional, but he was really a little too excited in his heart, so that he didn't dare to bid because he had some gains and losses.

"No, Chen Cong, you have to give me the bottom line for this, I naturally won't deduct you, but there is another shareholder in the company, and if you buy shares, it will dilute his shares, and I must negotiate with them first, so I have to know your bottom line." Li Shengli was still excited, but he calmed down a little.

Hearing Li Shengli's words, Chen Cong knew that he had to give an answer. I couldn't help but think in my heart, Li Shengli's technology is worth more than 10 million, which is the professional evaluation given by angel investment at the beginning. The company has been established for more than a year, and the investment is not small, with a venture capital of 3 million, the government's 1,000 people plan, and other subsidies of no less than 6 million, plus the company's value-added, Chen Cong is very unprofessional to calculate a number:

"30 million is the figure I expect, no more than 40 million I can accept, but regardless of the final valuation, I have to get at least 10% more shares. ”

Hearing Dan Chen Cong's answer, Li Shengli stood up and took a deep breath, "Chen Cong, thank you." I'll get in touch with the U.S. side tonight and get back to you as soon as possible. ”

"Mr. Li, I believe in you. You can trust me too. The promise I give you today will never change, even in the unlikely event that excellence really doesn't succeed. No matter what you want to do in the future, as long as you need to invest, I support you unconditionally. Chen Cong gave Li Shengli the last emotional card.

"Thank you. Li Shengli stretched out his hand and shook Chen Cong heavily.

When he left the church, at about half past eight, Chen Cong happily hummed a song and went to Zhujiang Road to pick up the car.

Li Shengli's actions were very fast, and he contacted Smartcom Capital in the United States that night, and the late night in Nanjing was the working time in the United States. Smartcom Capital is Li Shengli's angel investor.

What Chen Cong didn't know was that Chen Cong's shareholding was not a happy thing. Of course, Li Shengli is happy, and Smartcom Capital actually does not exclude others from taking shares. But the company has to talk about valuation.

Although a few days ago, when Li Shengli approached Smartcom Capital and hoped that Smartcom would increase its capital, Smartcom did not agree to increase its capital, and the subtext was that Excellence at this time was worthless and not worth further investment. But even so, when it was known that a third party wanted to invest in shares, Huitong immediately had the capital to sit on the ground, and the valuation given by Smartcom was 45 million. This offer obviously exceeded Li Shengli's expectations.

Sit on the ground and bargain on the spot. It was a normal thing, but Li Shengli didn't have time, and the company was about to run out of food. This kind of negotiation involving the valuation of the company, if you go slowly, can be negotiated for several months, and you must find a third-party accounting firm to settle the accounts.

Li Shengli holds 70% of the shares of Excellence at this time, and almost everything outstanding can be decided in a word, without considering the opinions of Smartcom. However, no entrepreneur will offend their angel investors at this stage. Once you do this, it is almost equivalent to writing your name on the blacklist of the capital market by hand.

Therefore, this matter must be agreed with Smartcom.

Huang Xiyuan, a representative from Smartcom's SH office, came to Nanjing the next day. After a simple communication between Li Shengli and Huang Xiyuan, they gave their bottom line:

"35 million, it can't be higher, that's my bottom line. The situation of excellence is clear to all, it is imminent, and we have no time to waste at the negotiating table. If it doesn't work, I'll leave, and I'll leave it to you to play with. ”

The reason why excellence is excellence is because of the technology provided by Li Shengli, and because of Li Shengli as a person. At this time, without Li Shengli's excellence, it can almost be said that it is worthless. Li Shengli, this can be regarded as a shipwreck.

This is a very strange negotiation, the founder wants his company to be valued at a lower price, and the capital side is the opposite, hoping that the company's valuation is higher. From Li Shengli's point of view, at this time, any fund that invests in Excellence will definitely do everything possible to make Excellence's valuation higher. But Chen Cong is different, an employee who has come to excellence since he started his own business, at this juncture, because he believes that he has invested millions of savings in excellence, which is more touching than the three million casually invested by American capitalists, which can almost be regarded as starting a business with himself. Although Chen Cong told himself that he was rich, no matter how rich he was, it was just a family's savings. Therefore, Li Shengli definitely didn't want to lose Chen Cong.

"Mr. Li, don't be angry, how can you give up casually in a company that has been built with hard work. As for the 35 million you give, Mr. Li, we need to discuss it internally, and we will continue tomorrow. Huang Xiyuan knocked on the table and said expressionlessly.

"Okay, then I'll wait for good news. Li Shengli nodded helplessly, knowing that the other party's bottom line must be lower than this number. Huang Xiyuan didn't bargain, in fact, he had already agreed to the price. The reason why I didn't agree on the spot was that I just wanted to look good on my face, and I didn't want to show that I took advantage of it and couldn't wait to sign it. Of course, another reason is that Huang Xiyuan also has to wait for the evening to ventilate with the United States.
