Chapter 212: Follow the Trend and Cash Out
I have to say that Ma Youtian is still relatively accurate in his view of human nature.
If in the first few days of the introduction of war investment, Zhang Tao still felt a little sorry for his former partners, after all, with the capital injection of Sea Lion Group, many mainstream appraisal agencies have given their valuation to 30 billion.
700 million bought out the shares valued at 15 billion, no matter how you look at it, it is a big loss.
However, it didn't take long for regret to give way to envy.
That's 700 million!
Although there are billions of funds on the books of Modern Bicycles, and with the drainage and promotion of the Sea Lion Group, more new users have registered and paid deposits, and this number is still increasing, but after all, it is the company's money, and it does not affect his bank card balance that is not even enough for six figures.
What is the concept of 700 million?
Buying a house can be bought by the building, and if you store it in the bank, it will be the father of the bank! Even if you don't do anything, just get a capital guaranteed financial management with a comprehensive annualized interest rate of 5%, and you can wait for death for a lifetime.
Why did you start your own business?
Isn't it just for financial freedom?
As a result, the partner who hitched the ride had already achieved financial freedom ahead of schedule, but the founder himself was still commuting by subway every day. Although he is not jealous of Mr. Hao, who is kind to him, Zhang Tao's heart is still somewhat unbalanced.
At this moment, he suddenly met a person.
The man claimed to be the secretary of the chairman of Youtian Network, and said that their chairman, Youtian Ma, wanted to have a meal with him. Although he didn't have much impression of the name Ma Youtian, in line with the idea of multiple friends and multiple roads, Zhang Tao still went to the appointment.
In a lavishly renovated restaurant in the city center, he met the big boss who was said to be worth billions of dollars.
"Haha, Mr. Zhang, I'm glad to meet you, I've wanted to know you for a long time! Now I didn't expect you to be so young, you are really young and promising! ”
Zhang Tao smiled modestly, stretched out his hand and shook the head of the horse and said.
"Mr. Ma is polite!"
"It's all heartfelt words, how can there be anything polite or not polite," Ma Youtian smiled proudly, made a gesture of please and said, "Please sit down, let's sit down and talk while eating." ”
Although there were only two people eating, there were more than a dozen dishes on the table, and each one looked expensive. Although he is worth billions, Zhang Tao was just an ordinary college counselor a few months ago, and his temperament has not kept up.
During the meal, Ma Youtian had been secretly observing him.
Thinking that the atmosphere and time were almost up, the local boss stopped the gag chatter, brought the topic to the topic, and said with a smile.
“…… Ming people don't say dark words, Jiangcheng's shared bicycles, in addition to your modern, are our friends' biggest! ”
"I'm thinking that they are all fellow villagers, there is no need to fight to the death on their own territory, it is better to join hands and conquer the market in other places together!"
Looking at Ma Youtian, who was talking eloquently there, Zhang Tao was slightly puzzled, not knowing what kind of medicine this guy was carrying in his stomach.
Although what he said is true, in addition to modern bicycles, it is indeed the largest Youtian bicycle in the territory of Jiangcheng.
However, the small yellow car of modern bicycles has accounted for 70% of the market share, and the so-called second in the industry is only the leader in the remaining 30% of the market share.
Joining forces?
Is this a joke?
Can bronze and kings line up together?
This statement may be an exaggeration, but this is the truth.
As if he guessed that Zhang Tao was not interested in the prospects he depicted, Ma Youtian stopped going around in circles, and continued with a straight look.
"I'm not going to go around in circles and talk about all that nonsense, but I'm going to buy a little bit of a stake in Modern Bike from you. The price is easy to say, the price I can offer will definitely not be lower than the price offered by Haishi Group to Yunmeng Group! ”
Very interesting proposal.
So much so that after hearing this, Zhang Tao couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Do you think I'll sell to a competitor?"
Even if it's just a nominal competitor.
Even if Zhang Tao didn't take Youtian Bicycle to heart at all, it was another matter to put the other party on his company's board of directors. Not to mention, according to Xia Guo's law, as long as a company holds 1% of the shares, it can apply for an audit.
Letting competitors control their own company's financial movements is simply a joke on the interests of all shareholders.
Maybe someone doesn't care, but he can't do it.
Ma Youtian's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled faintly and continued: "I can hold shares in the name of the joint venture company, without entering your management and board of directors, just as an investor...... As an aside, no matter how high the valuation of a company is, it is also a valuation. The company is so big and has solved so many jobs, doesn't Mr. Zhang want to improve his life? ”
This sentence touched Zhang Tao's heart, so much so that he fell into silence.
I have to say, this offer is really tempting.
As long as you pay a little bit of shares, you can buy a car and a house and live the life you dreamed of before. In particular, the example of Yunmeng Group is in front of him, making it difficult for him not to be impressed.
“…… I can only sell 5% of the shares, and this is an agreement between me and the major shareholder," the Adam's apple moved slightly, and Zhang Tao, who had been silent for a long time, raised his head and said, "Any more will have to be approved by the board of directors." ”
Although this figure was lower than psychological expectations, Ma Youtian still gritted his teeth and continued without changing his face.
"What's your offer?"
"Two hundred million."
Two hundred million?!
Hearing this number, Ma Youtian almost didn't stick out his eyes, and immediately said.
"Are you kidding?! Two hundred million?! Do you know that valuation is valuation, and before you go public, this thing is just a number, and it can't be realized at all! ”
Zhang Tao stood up silently.
To be honest, he was hesitant to sell some of his shares to improve his life.
But he didn't expect this potential "buyer" to react so much after hearing his offer, obviously it didn't look like he could give much money, and the thought that had just popped up in his heart for a long time was suddenly dispelled.
Seeing that Zhang Tao didn't plan to talk, Ma Youtian's eyes widened and he stretched out his hand.
"100 million! If you are willing to nod, we can sign the contract today, and I will pay you a deposit of 10 million on the spot! Complete the industrial and commercial registration tomorrow, and the balance will be paid immediately! ”
One hundred million!
And give a deposit of 10 million on the spot......
Zhang Tao obviously hesitated.
Squeezing his sweaty palms, he gritted his teeth and said.
"150 million, that's my bottom line."
Ma Youtian said with a glare.
"Impossible! This offer is outrageous! Haishi Group used 700 million to buy 50% of the shares in the hands of Yunmeng Group, and 5% is worth 70 million! I have a premium of 100 million, don't you think I'm very sincere! ”
Zhang Tao didn't give an inch, and continued with his own opinion.
"It is precisely because of the Sea Lion Group that we can now get a valuation of 30 billion. When you say that, I think 150 million is still cheap. ”
"140 million!"
Looking at Ma Youtian, whose eyes were red, Zhang Tao was also fighting between heaven and man in his heart.
The opportunity to become a billionaire is just around the corner!
And all he paid was 5% of the shares......
After all, I still lost to the lure of cash. Confused, his shoulders loosened, he nodded, and said in a very soft voice.
"Deal."
Ma Youtian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his back was unconsciously soaked with sweat.
With a relaxed smile on his face, he stretched out his right hand.
"Deal...... The contract is ready and will be sent to you in a moment. ”
Zhang Tao shook his hand.
"I'll let my lawyer see it before I sign it."
Ma Youtian tried to make himself look less happy, and said happily.
"No problem! Happy cooperation! ”
