……

But An Feng's idea of starting a career independently was quickly interrupted, and as soon as his assistant team started to act, they were targeted. In fact, someone wants to make venture capital for his new company, and the other party is said to be from the Morgan consortium and has a strong interest in An Feng's new company.

When An Feng heard the name of Morgan, he was surprised, how did they find themselves?

Don't blame him, he has always thought that he is just a rich man with a little money, but in the eyes of others, he is a venture capital target and a strange person who creates wealth.

In addition, he is a core member of the consortium, and the role of the overall steadily rising is impossible without being noticed. IBM, which is controlled by the Morgan consortium, has a lot of cooperation with GP companies, so it is naturally not difficult to understand the figure of An Feng, who has maintained appropriate attention and tapped business opportunities.

The development of science and technology has made the economy globalized, and the era of a consortium controlling a large enterprise a few decades ago is gone, and now the consortiums are infiltrating each other and restricting each other. GP has capital from the Sinclair family, but there is also investment from Morgan.

The information in the industry is still relatively circulating, not only the Morgan consortium, but also other large consortia will also know his name, after all, offshore companies, splitting shares and other vest methods are all played by them. If you calculate it, you can know who has the highest share in it.

Through some connections, I got in touch with An Feng's chief assistant.

John. Adams's horizons have also broadened now, maybe a few years ago he would have been shocked by the name of the Morgan consortium, but now he is just looking at an industry partner, with a lot of knowledge and a natural and stable mentality. He politely blocked the invitation for An Feng, saying that he had to inform him first.

When An Feng received John's call, he was training tiger cubs with hounds in the vineyard.

He asked later, "You mean the other party wants to talk to me?" ”

"Yes. Sir, do you have time? John asked.

"The day after tomorrow, book me a café seat in Los Angeles." An Feng said, throwing the bones out of his hand, and Xiao Bai chased after him.

……

Strictly speaking, An Feng and they are competitors of the consortium, but the businessman has no hatred. Only the benefits and the cost are enough, and they can still be together. Although An Feng didn't want to accept venture capital, he was on his own side if he wanted to come, but he still arrived on time when he sold the other party.

There were four people in total, An Feng and his assistant, and the other two people.

"Mr. Ann!" One of them, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, smiled and stretched out his hand, "I'm Hunter." Nice to see you! ”

"Me too!" After An Feng shook hands, he sat down, took off his sunglasses and waited for them to speak first. The three people present were all dressed formally, only he was in shirts and jeans, and he had just returned from the beach, which was comfortable and casual. At a glance, An Feng must be the boss.

Hunter didn't beat around the bush, he got straight to the point and said, "Mr. An, we are very interested in your newly founded company. Knowing that you are currently working alone, there are a lot of constraints on funds or some other aspects. Are you interested in receiving outside investment? ”

An Feng asked: "Do you know the industry that Ludao Company is engaged in?" ”

Hunter smiled: "I have learned from Mr. Adams that engaged in the production of bio-beverages, in terms of the role and form of beverages, it has great potential, but unlike other high-tech, its market has to rely on a certain amount of publicity to open up." The first stage is very costly. ”

An Feng's mind turned, it was estimated that it was not as simple as it seemed, they were afraid that they would learn that the company's technology was taken from the research center, and the research center repeatedly created miracles, making them intend to take risks. And to put it bluntly. Venture capital is naturally an investment with both risk and return.

An Feng did not refuse, but said: "My plan is to register 100 million funds, if you accept investment, how much can you give?" ”

"If it's possible, we'll take a stake," Hunter said. ”

An Feng smiled: "You are so funny! ”

Hunter also smiled: "From a business point of view, we naturally want to take 49% of the shares and give about three times the investment. ”

3 times the 49 million shares, which is only 140 million US dollars, and BD will be a brand that monopolizes the earth for Anfeng in the future, which is completely disproportionate. So he shook his head: "Mr. Hunt, you have a great appetite and a very low offer. I was optimistic about it just now, but I was actually insincere. ”

"But it's different from the battery, and there's no visual data to show its value, so we can only explore the way," Hunt said. ”

An Feng nodded: "I agree, your concerns are justified, but I am very confident in my company." Moreover, you want too many shares, and you give too little money, so it is better for me to ask for money internally, at least five times more, and more than ten times. ”

Hunter said: "Of course, in normal times, these huge investments may not be too difficult, but Mr. An, you know that the Texas consortium has recently encountered a divergence in funds and trends, and there will not be much energy to care about your side at this time, and we are sincere." ”

An Feng didn't know what was going on, and after glancing at John, he nodded lightly.

An Feng knew in his heart, it seemed that he was too leisurely, and he didn't know how to do this kind of thing inside. He said again: "Mr. Hunt, I will give another suggestion, 30% of the share, at least 500 million, don't be in a hurry to answer first, you go back and discuss it, and give my assistant an answer." ”

The other party knew that Anfeng was under the eviction order, and the price offered was really confident, 16 times! At present, the listing price of some high-quality companies is only a dozen or twenty US dollars. Anfeng's offer price is still in the case that the product is missing and the company has no hair.

Even though he had repeatedly performed miracles, Hunt still didn't think he was good at beverages, after all, he was in the electronics industry, limited to graphene, and couldn't think of where his huge confidence came from in a completely unfamiliar field, at least they thought so.

So Hunter had to seriously consider such a large investment, and the members of the consortium had to discuss. He left his business card and politely said goodbye.

After the two of them left, An Feng asked, "What's going on lately?" ”

John said: "It's complicated, and we have to start with two consortia in Texas. ”

"You say, I have a lot of time." An Feng said.

John sat down across from him and said, "Actually, sir, the Texas consortium you belong to is different from the original Texas consortium involved in the oil and arms industries. They are a spun off new conglomerate, mainly engaged in the oil industry, which has cut off arms and turned to high technology. ”

An Feng also learned that the Texas consortium is different from the current consortium, the former rose after World War II. It was involved in everything from oil to arms to some banking, but he was part of a much younger group whose members had grown in different fields.

As for the reason for the split, it is very complicated, in short, they are a group of very wealthy financial families, using their own advantages, rapidly rising interest groups, and then Sinclair, an old and huge oil family, joins in, and its capital is very abundant. So I was able to stand on my feet quickly.

"They're moving too fast, and there are shadows of other consortia in many areas," John said. The big conglomerates all have reliable banks, and of course Amex has a banking division, but not all of them, and the companies that control their shares are complex and are currently being acquired intensively. ”

Amex has sold off a number of businesses and divisions over the past few years, such as the sale of a once-popular business trip to Qatar, and the recent trend in market value has been rising. Presumably it is a game of consortiums. An Feng felt that a qualified consortium. You have to have your own bank.

John continued, "Xin's Energy is a traditional family business, and important positions are held by family members. This pattern is stable, but it can make allies less confident. ”

An Feng also knows this, it is indeed very rare for non-listed companies to get mixed up at this step, and the operation of the family business is very good. The debt ratio is reasonable, the profits are huge, if it weren't for the lot of hole cards, I'm afraid that someone would have lobbied them to go public a long time ago, including the current allies who also want to get a piece of the pie.

Nature. If you want to form a close-knit consortium, it is certainly not appropriate to continue to use the family-style management style, the cohesion is not enough, and the sincerity is not enough. So according to John, at present, everyone wants the Sinclair family to be honest and seize the opportunity to take a stake in Amex.

Only in this way can this emerging consortium fully exert its strength, otherwise it will only face a situation where the individual is strong and the portfolio is weak. When 1+1 is less than 1, there must be a lot of resources wasted. At present, their state is like this, the Sinclair family is strong, and Brulane is not weak, but due to the lack of deep cooperation, the so-called "strong alliance" has become a drag on each other.

John didn't know much about the reasons for the disagreement.

An Feng simply asked them directly.

No matter how the outside world speculates, drawing inferences from evidence is not enough for insiders to say a word, Bazel said, taking advantage of the end of the presidential election to stereotype the Texas consortium. They must have a reasonable order, otherwise everyone hides from each other, and the cooperation in the future will not last long.

The Brurynes also agreed, and as far as the democratic vote is concerned, it has reached a two-quarter approval ratio, and one vote is required to pass.

What about the remaining crucial votes?

An Feng couldn't think of it - it was actually him!

He was one of the giants of the embryonic consortium. It has four major sources of funding, the Sinclair family, the Brulane family, and the Kaihang family, as well as small conglomerates and other allies. In terms of asset value, Sinclair is first, Brulane is second, and he is third.

How much money Sinclair has is still a mystery, and Anfeng's is easy to calculate, GP is 51%, and its GP Energy and Electronic Conservative have 200 billion, but in terms of monopoly ability, it will exceed one trillion in ten years; Then there is the research center against the sky, with personal assets of 80 billion.

As for the Bruine family, the investment loss in recent years has been very large, except for the GP company that made a little profit, it was originally very strong, but the talent withered, and now it has corrected an Anthony, I think he used to be in the auction house business...... At present, the market value of assets in hand barely reaches the level of 100 billion.

If they can reach closer cooperation, there is no problem for the consortium to be among the top five, don't look at how famous those big consortia are, the actual value is hundreds of billions, and there are constantly declining, such as Citigroup, although its assets are nearly two trillion, but most of them are non-performing assets, liabilities, bad debts, the market value has fallen to tens of billions of embarrassing situation, and now it is more than 100 billion market value.

Therefore, it is not easy for consortia to mix now, especially those that rely on the financial industry.

Maybe An Feng didn't have much interest in the past, so it didn't affect him to make money, but now he needs money very much, and a consortium that can continuously produce "dollars" is more ideal. Therefore, he is very optimistic about the frank and in-depth cooperation, and he also voted in favor. (To be continued......)
