As soon as Wang Teng's words came out, Li Yifan's heart was chuckled, since the establishment of the Forty Thieves website, he has continued to inject capital into this website, from hundreds of thousands at the beginning, to tens of millions later, and then to the establishment of the later leakage network, and later the opening of Alipay, all of which are his ideas, plus financial support, plus investment in other aspects with Wang Teng, up to now, he has successively injected nearly 100 million yuan into this website.

This is completely unthinkable for the source of funding for the top forty pirate websites in the previous life.

You must know that in the previous life, when the forty thieves created the grass, the total investment was only 500,000 yuan raised by Wang Teng himself, and after the company was established, when it had a considerable scale, Wang Teng announced through various means that the company's registered capital reached 700 million.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can understand how much water is in the 700 million, and it is just in time for the Internet bubble era in those two years, so people are flawless to pay attention to whether the registered capital announced by Wang Teng is more or less.

The reason why Wang Teng announced that the registered capital would be more than 700 million yuan was actually to raise the threshold for those investment partners later.

He has no funds in his hands, and if he wants to borrow from the bank, he will definitely not be able to borrow so much, but he always believes that B2B has great business prospects, and according to the law of the development of the network economy in the United States, when some external investment banks or investment institutions discover the potential of your company. They will be like vultures in the wind. Generous to finance you. In the hope that you will be able to get enough returns in the future.

Therefore, when announcing the registered capital, it is necessary to report as high as possible, so as to be able to take advantage of as much as possible in the negotiations with future investment institutions, which is also the reason why he dared to announce a registered capital of more than 700 million yuan in a leather bag company that started with hundreds of thousands, of course, many intangible assets under his company are absolutely overestimated.

And in this life, in order not to let those financial vultures. In order to take these huge profits into his own hands, Li Yifan began to inject capital into this company early, and it was a continuous capital injection, precisely because as a person who came over, he clearly knew what kind of development this company would go in the future.

Now it's just an investment of tens of millions, or even one or two hundred million, but ten years later. This company will repay your generosity today with a hundredfold rate of return. Such a cost-effective deal, weishenme does not stick to it.

IT IS PRECISELY BECAUSE OF HIS INTERVENTION THAT THE FORTY THIEVES AVOIDED BEING INTERFERED BY JAPAN'S SOFTBANK AND THE UNITED STATES' EBAY AT THE VERY BEGINNING.

Later, in order to confront EBAY's eBay, they made a leak network a few years earlier than the original, and the third-party payment Alipay company was also born in advance, which created a precedent in the era of Internet business in China, making Wang Teng a famous Internet business tycoon in China in one fell swoop.

But now, after cutting off the greedy hands of foreign investment institutions several times, there are actually people coming over like claws stretching out, which makes Li Yifan angry and worried at the same time.

People dare to blatantly come to Wang Teng to talk about investment, which shows that the other party is very optimistic about the development of Huaguo's e-commerce industry, and even to put it more bluntly, people appreciate him and Wang Teng's forty thieves company, so they want to plug in early, and then pick up the cheap and get a piece of the pie.

Although Li Yifan appreciates the eyesight of these investment institutions, he doesn't like the other party's actions very much, after all, this is to divide the cake from his bowl, and he can be happy to have a ghost.

Isn't all the effort made before just to cut off the greedy hands of these guys? Unexpectedly, the other party still came, and came so early.

"Oh? So that's what happened? Brother Wang, who is this time who wants to come to us for financing? ”

Li Yifan tried his best to relax his breath, pretending to be very relaxed and asked Wang Teng, seeing Wang Teng's expression so solemn and hesitant, Li Yifan knew that the opponent this time must be quite powerful, and the conditions offered were also very generous, otherwise Wang Teng would not have hesitated with such an attitude.

Wang Teng sighed, then raised his head to look at Li Yifan, and saw that he was not angry, and he was relieved at this time.

To tell the truth, the forty thieves can develop to the point where they are today, if Wang Teng is the soul of the person, then this Li Yifan, who has never appeared in public, is definitely another soul figure in the company in his opinion, although this guy has never worked in the company for a day, but in Wang Teng's heart, this guy can definitely be said to be the second person in the company.

First of all, his business philosophy, and the future of the development of e-commerce is very similar to his own, even in some places than his own more advanced, the second is that people from the establishment of the company, has been a steady stream of capital injection into the company, up to now, if not their own in the company's management of the big contribution, according to the capital injection of people, people can definitely be regarded as the company's largest shareholder.

The third is that Li Yifan is very good at being a man, you must know that although Wang Teng says that he can let go on the surface, but in fact, in his bones, he has always been a very stubborn and controlling person, the company under his name, he will never allow other people to point fingers, but fortunately, although Li Yifan is the company's second largest shareholder, he has never participated in the company's high-level decision-making, nor will he point fingers at the company, so this makes Wang Teng, who is at the helm of the company, very comfortable.

If he could, he would even be willing to continue to cooperate with Li Yifan like this.

But the current situation of the company, as well as the conditions put forward by the person opposite, made him a little difficult to choose.

"This time, it is Yahoo who wants to talk to us about equity financing, and they are willing to invest 500 million yuan in our company."

"What? Is it Yahoo? ”

Li Yifan also chuckled in his heart when he heard the other party's origin, and when he heard that the other party was willing to invest 500 million, his heart set off a wave in his heart, no wonder Wang Teng was tempted, it turned out that the other party was willing to invest 500 million.

"Yes, half a billion, dollars !!"

When he heard Wang Teng talk about the monetary unit behind this, Li Yifan almost jumped up in shock, these Yankees are really rich, but they are too special to do it.

Isn't this a forced attempt to break up the combination of himself and Wang Teng? The reason is very simple, that is, he will definitely not agree to Yahoo coming here to talk about financing and shares.

500 million dollars seems to be very tempting, but this money, if you wait ten years later, when you look at the scale of the 40 thieves, and then look at Yahoo, this Yahoo will definitely make a lot of money.

And this investment of theirs, for the Forty Thieves and Wang Teng, is definitely a big pit!

Li Yifan, who is a person who has come over, knows how miserable this cooperation will be in the forty thieves later.

In the original time and space, the deal also happened truthfully, but it was four years later, in 2005, when Yahoo took out $640 million in real money, plus the shares of the 40 thieves they exchanged from Japan's SoftBank, plus their portal Yahoo Huaguo in China, for a total of 1 billion US dollars, to complete the deal.

In exchange for 35% of the shares of the Forty Thieves Company, this transaction seemed to be a big bargain for Wang Teng at the time.

But after another three years, especially after the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, because of the severe economic situation, coupled with the challenges of a new generation of Internet companies such as Google and Facebook, Yahoo has long lost the scenery of the first portal in the United States.

The market value of the head office continued to fall, coupled with continuous layoffs, and the poor decision to reject Microsoft's acquisition proposal, etc., which led to the news that Yahoo was going to go bankrupt for a time.

On the other hand, the forty thieves relied on the opportunity of China's rapid development to rapidly expand, and in just a few years, the company's scale has doubled by no less than ten times, and Yahoo's situation has completely dropped.

And because of the fierce competition of domestic portals, coupled with Wang Teng's limited energy, for Yahoo Huaguo's poor management, Zuihou, a Yahoo Huaguo worth hundreds of millions of dollars, can only end up closing its doors.

And it was at this time that Yahoo, which was not doing well, relied on the relationship of their second largest shareholder to vigorously encourage the listing of the 40 thieves to raise funds.

At this time, Wang Teng and the Forty Thieves Company can be said to be abundant in funds and do not need to be listed at all, but Yahoo, which is not well managed, wants to pick peaches at this time, so some other shareholders of the company began to force the palace at the same time.

Coupled with the financial vultures who have long been coveted by the outside world, Wang Tengzuihou had to make the decision to prepare for listing.

However, with the capital scale of the 40 thieves, if you choose to go public, there are only two places to choose, one is Xiangjiang and the other is the United States.

But when he went to the United States, the future was difficult and dangerous, Wang Teng was unwilling, and when he went to Xiangjiang, the financial authority on the Xiangjiang side was licking the asshole of the Americans all the way, and did not allow the forty thieves to raise funds and go public in the same way as Google, which made Wang Teng quickly fall into a dilemma at that time......
