Chapter 209: It's Getting Cold, It's Time to Withdraw
Coffee cold?
Time to go?
After returning to the office, Lin Jun, who was sitting at the desk, kept thinking about the boss's words repeatedly.
Especially in combination with what Mr. Hao once said, "An investor who only knows how to screen investment targets cannot be called an excellent investor, and the timing of entering and exiting the market is also very important", he can clearly feel the hint from Mr. Hao——
It's time for bike-sharing projects to retreat!
"What the owner meant...... Bike-sharing is getting cold? ”
Touching his chin, Lin Jun had a confused expression on his face, puzzled.
"Won't you...... This is just the beginning. ”
Even if competitors are springing up like mushrooms after a rain, and all kinds of capital are wielding sickles to enter together, the entire market is still an incremental market, and there is still a big distance from the stock market that has entered a saturated state.
Not to mention, a few days ago, the modern bicycle was also on the "Mass Daily", and the head of the Ministry of Transportation of Xia Guo publicly praised the innovative model of sharing bicycles, which greatly facilitated the travel of the masses and solved the problem of the last kilometer in public transportation.
Not only that, senior officials of the People's Federation also praised the emerging concept of the sharing economy at the New Economy Summit, calling it an emerging consumption mode in the future era, which not only integrates excess social resources and avoids waste, but also plays a role in environmental protection, providing more people with green travel options.
Maybe in a while, the shared bicycles will be exported to the other side of the ocean.
It's not enough to be bearish now, right?
The whole industry is still on the rise!
Thinking of this, he turned on the computer, called up the research report on the bike-sharing industry that he had entrusted his mentor to help him complete, and carefully re-studied it.
From a macro point of view, the market share of the entire bike-sharing industry is now close to the 10 billion mark, and many well-known Internet companies have entered the game.
What is it that makes the boss feel that this industry is coming to an end?
Lin Jun fell into deep thought.
To be honest, if someone says this to him, he will listen to it as a joke at most, and he will not take it to heart at all, let alone think about it again and again afterwards.
But Hao Yun is different.
Not only because he is his own boss, but also because this cattle man has accurately predicted the risks under the pork spot boom on the west coast of North America, and also predicted the collapse of the global pork futures market!
It's not just the game that's well done, this guy is an investment genius!
It's not even a waste of his talent to go and make games!
Taking a deep breath, Lin Jun, who was puzzled, leaned back on the office chair, and gently tapped the armrest of the chair with his index finger for a long time, until half an hour passed before he slowly opened his eyes.
Since it was the boss's idea, there must be a reason behind it!
It's reasonable that I can't figure it out.
"It's decided."
Now that he has made up his mind, Lin Jun no longer hesitates, and took out his mobile phone to make a call to Zhang Tao, one of the founders of Modern Bike.
When he received this call, Zhang Tao was in a meeting, and when he saw that the caller was Lin Jun, he immediately suspended the meeting and came to the outside of the conference room.
"Hello? What's the matter, Mr. Lin. ”
"I discussed it with Mr. Hao, and now we have a plan here, I don't know if you can accept it." After pondering for a while, Lin Jun spoke.
Zhang Tao hesitated and asked.
"What's the plan?"
"Regarding the plan to introduce the Sea Lion Group's strategic investment," Lin Jun paused, and continued, "The Sea Lion Group requires 67% of the shares, and we are difficult to accept this equity ratio, but Modern Bicycle does need to cooperate with the Sea Lion Group. I discussed with Mr. Hao, if the original plan was really not negotiable, we wanted to sell the shares in our hands to the Sea Lion Group. ”
"In this way, you still have 30% of the shares, and the equity in your hands will not be diluted too much. Sea Lion Group has taken our shares, and the equity ratio has also reached 67%...... This may be the only outcome that will please everyone. ”
In the initial agreement, Haishi Group, the modern bicycle start-up team and Yunmeng Group each held one-third of the shares. Now this plan is equivalent to selling one-third of its own shares to Sea Lion Group, meeting their 67% shareholding requirements.
If Lin Jun's proposal is followed, Modern Bicycle can indeed quickly obtain the powerful ally of the Sea Lion Group. However, for Yunmeng Group, it is somewhat unfair.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the entire bike-sharing market is growing wildly, and countless investment banks have to queue up for people to choose if they want to enter the market with money, rather than as the party that picks others.
According to the current momentum of development, modern bicycles can be listed at a valuation of tens of billions, and now they sell their shares, no matter how you look at it, you will lose a lot!
Zhang Tao, who was holding the mobile phone, was stunned, suspecting that he had misheard.
"Are you serious?"
Lin Jun said calmly.
"Sure, am I the kind of person who can joke?"
Zhang Tao didn't know if this guy was a joker, but he didn't want to kick this partner out at all.
Although at this stage, Yunmeng Group can give them almost no help, and the development model that has been set does not need Lin Jun to operate, but at this time, being out of the game is tantamount to giving up the future glory and wealth.
He couldn't do this kind of thing.
"Good brother, if you did this because of the Sea Lion Group, I wouldn't agree to you. We would rather not invest in sea lions, and we will not give up our friends who have come all the way from the micro end! ”
Hearing this, Lin Jun's heart couldn't help but be a little moved.
But reason told him that when it comes to investment, you can't be emotional.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Jun said after pondering for a while.
"Brother Tao, you are a few years older than me, so I'll call you brother."
Listening to the serious voice on the other end of the phone, Zhang Tao's face was confused, but he still put on a serious attitude, walked to the window of the corridor and said seriously.
"Good brother, why is it so serious......
"Risk," Lin Jun paused, and continued, "You must be aware of the risk. ”
Risk?
Zhang Tao was stunned: "You mean we ......"
Lin Jun shook his head and continued.
"I'm not just talking about your risk, I'm talking about the risk of the industry as a whole. That's all I can say, you can take care of the rest...... In the afternoon, I will talk to the Sea Lion Group on the phone, and if the price is right, the matter will be settled. ”
Zhang Tao smiled bitterly and said, "This is too sudden. ”
Lin Jun was silent for a while, then sighed and said.
"It's Mr. Hao's decision, so be it!"
It's not that Lin Jun doesn't want to say more, it's that he doesn't know how to explain it.
Unlike Zhang Tao, he has seen Mr. Hao's miraculous ability to predict, and if those facts are all coincidences, he doesn't believe it.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Tao, who was standing by the window, finished smoking two cigarettes before returning to the conference room.
The previous meeting hadn't finished yet, and the executives sitting at the conference table were waiting for him to return.
Looking at Zhang Tao who was sitting down, Yu Jie couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Brother Tao, what kind of call, why did you make a call for so long?"
Zhang Tao did not answer this question directly, but after a moment of silence, he spoke.
"Let's stop what we've discussed before, and I'll tell you something."
Seeing the serious expression on Mr. Zhang's face, everyone sitting at the conference table also became serious and put aside the things in their hands.
After sorting out his thoughts in his mind, Zhang Tao slowly spoke in a calm tone.
"Let's talk about the good news first, about the introduction of the Sea Lion Group's war investment, it should be able to be discussed soon."
Hearing this, the faces of the people sitting at the conference table showed joy.
Being able to bring in a giant like Sea Lion Group as an ally will at least avoid a terrible competitor for modern bikes that are still in the early stages of development, regardless of whether they can help them maintain their existing market share.
Yu Jie was about to say congratulations, but after Zhang Tao paused, he continued to open his mouth in a heavy tone.
"One more thing."
"Our friend Yunmeng Group intends to give up the shares in his hands to complete our business."
The moment the words fell.
The entire conference room was silent......
