Chapter 124: Cliffor's Purpose
An accountant of the worry-free payment company hurriedly ran to the backstage and said anxiously: "Boss, 5 minutes have passed, and there is still no investor to express his position, what should I do?"
Roy and Noah were silent and helpless, and the PayPal merger strategy was so unexpected, I am afraid that no "story" can reverse the temporary neutral attitude of investors.
After a while, another staff member of the company reported in a panic: "Boss, some investors are starting to leave, should we ......?"
Noah let out a long breath and walked out, saying to Roy as he went, "I'll deal with it, as for the rest...... There must be a way!"
Ulysses, who was watching this scene, went from being confused at the beginning to being extremely disappointed after he figured it out, and he walked out without saying hello.
This wave - an avalanche!
Roy recalls that when he was a child, he was also a very idealistic person. I hope that my life is meaningful, that I can have goals, creativity, and a pivotal position. Most importantly, be different – life doesn't have to win, but I just don't want to lose!
How can you not lose?
Roy couldn't find an answer yet. He clenched his fists, but he had one more and more conviction that became stronger and stronger, that is, he would never give up!
When he walked into the front desk, there were only a few people left in the venue, and when they looked at it, these people looked strange, obviously watching jokes and falling into the ground.
With an unusually excited look on his face, Ulysses waved his hand at Roy and said loudly, "Boss, here, Cliffor said he was willing to invest in our company. ”
Elisa, who has been an old monk at the scene, also looked at it, and a question mark rose in her heart: Will someone be optimistic about worry-free payment? Or ......
Roy took two steps forward in surprise and smiled, "Mr. Cliffor, thank you for your help." Are you still optimistic about worry-free payment?"
Cleaver leaned back in his chair, his chin raised, the smile on his face indisciplinary, scrutinizing eyes sweeping over Roy, even with a hint of pleasure. He asked rhetorically, "Mr. Roy, how much do you think the worry-free payment is worth now?"
"There may be hundreds of millions now, but after the company goes public in the future, billions, tens of billions ......"
"-No, no, no, I think you're mistaken, I want an exact number. Cliffor interrupted.
"250 million!" Roy felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything wrong.
"No! This is the valuation before 10 points, do you think the company is still worth so much now?"
"Why not? Whether it is before or after 10 o'clock, worry-free payment is still operating normally, and the total number of users and the number of new users per day far exceed that of its peers. There is no doubt that as time goes by, the advantages of worry-free payments will become bigger and bigger, and eventually become a moat that no one can overcome. The more Roy spoke, the more confident he became, the more heroic he became, as if he was infused with heroic temperament, and the vision he sketched was loud.
Alyssa's beautiful eyes are wide, and Roy's self-confident demeanor is very attractive.
Ulysses couldn't help but laugh in agreement, cheering for Roy.
The few remaining investors looked at each other, and suddenly let out a sharp joke, and couldn't help but have a lukewarm mockery attached to their mouths.
"That's a good point. ”
"That's it. If he personally presided over the financing just now, investors would definitely be very enthusiastic. ”
"I hope he can support himself under PayPal pressure for a while and not weaken his limelight." ”
"Companies with no cash flow really can't understand it. ”
……
Cliffor applauded unhurriedly, "Twilight Beauty, Hero of the End!" However, according to your company's earnings report, cash is only expected to last for a week, right?"
This guy is annoying! Did I offend him before? Roy replied with suppressed emotion, "Yes." ”
"So, please tell me, in a week, will the company be liquidated by assets?"
"Maybe. ”
"If the assets are liquidated, how much do you think your company is worth? 10 million, or 15 million? I think it's only 20 million at most. ”
"Yes. ”
"Now, there's an opportunity for you: 10 million, 50% equity financing. I'll give you the most bang for your buck in the future, what do you think?" Cliffor went around in a big circle, finally getting into the subject and making his intentions clear.
Before Roy could answer, Ulysses's emotions had exploded, and he asked in a loud voice: "Cliffor, you bastard, I treat you as a friend, and you want to take advantage of the fire!"
There was still a faint smile on the corner of Cleaver's mouth, and like a spring breeze, he asked rhetorically: "Now my financing intention, compared with other investors, am I considered a savior of worry-free payment?" Ulysses, I thought you had a very high emotional intelligence and an elite person, but I didn't expect it...... I was so disappointed. ”
"Fake, disappointed uncle!" Ulysses glared angrily, eager to rush up and beat the other party violently, the broken friendship in his heart made his heart twitch unbearably.
Roy stops Ulysses to prevent him from acting aggressively, and Roy shouts to Debra, who is standing stupidly next to him, "Drag him away." ”
"Oh. "Debra used to be a wrestler, and he looked harmless to humans and animals, and few men could beat him with strength and skill.
Roy turned his head to stare at Cleaver and asked the doubt in his mind, "Have I offended you before?"
"Maybe there is, maybe not, I forgot. Cliffor smirked speciously.
Oh, there is. Roy genuinely wondered, Cliffor was just a young man, and he had absolutely no intersection with himself, how could he have an inexplicable grudge?
Being so humiliated by the enemy in the face, Roy felt that he really came back to life.
He took a deep breath, calmed down his fluctuating emotions, and said categorically: "I'm sorry, I won't agree to this condition." ”
Cliffor finally stood up from his comfortable chair, and as if he hated that it was too dirty, he warned him before leaving, "This is your last chance, and if you don't take it, the future will be nothing." As a rational entrepreneur, are you sure of your choice?"
"I ...... Are you sure. This answer seemed to exhaust Roy's strength, making him weak and almost unsteady on his feet.
"Huh, tsk...... If you change your mind, feel free to call me, but at that time...... But that's not the price. Take care, Mr. Roy. Cleaver smiled proudly, took steady steps, and left in style.
The remaining investors did not forget to sneer before leaving, and loudly knelt and licked Cliffor's posture on the surface.
"It's so young. ”
"Some opportunities, missed once, I'm afraid I won't come again in this life. ”
"Can this IQ become an entrepreneur? Now the money is really getting easier and easier to cheat. ”
"yes, I hope he can get lost soon. ”
"Haha, we're still too kind. ”
……
Alyssa looked at Roy's lonely silhouette, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in his heart, he thought left and right, and finally stood up and walked towards the other party.
