Chapter 015 [Obscure Agreement Trap (Three More Requests for Recommendation, Collection)]
But it can also be seen that Xu Chenghua clearly thought that Luo Sheng was a college student, and he was a fledgling in the world, so he was easy to bully and fool, so he offered 3 million.
Capital is profit-seeking, and it is natural to do so.
Xu Chenghua now also knows that he wanted to buy Bluestar Technology wholly by opening 3 million yuan before, and he was probably ridiculed by Luo Sheng for a while, the ghost knows that you are such an old-fashioned college student.
However, Xu Chenghua didn't feel embarrassed, this is a very real problem, how much strength can be shown to win the weight of others.
Obviously, Luo Sheng's weight in the other party's mind is much heavier than before.
Xu Chenghua thought for a while and said: "On behalf of Teng Xun, I valued Bluestar Technology at 12 million after financing, so I invested 3 million in the angel round investment to obtain 25% of the company's shares and its veto power. β
Hearing this, Xu Yong and others had no objection to Luo Sheng being the head of the company, the same was three million, which was wholly acquired before, and now it is only 25% of the shares, and the gap is not ordinarily large.
It seems that the conditions are very decent, Xu Chenghua strives for the maximum interests of his own party as much as possible, and the upper limit of angel round investment in the Internet industry is generally 25%, and the lower limit is about 8%.
Investors below 8% will definitely not agree, it is too much of a loss, and more than 25% is very disadvantageous for the company's founding team, and it is too much of a loss.
Therefore, the equity ratio of angel round investment is generally in the range of 8%~25%.
Xu Chenghua now knows very well that if the proportion exceeds 25%, with the ability that Luo Sheng showed before, he would definitely rather refuse Teng Xun's investment than ask for this money, or adjust the proportion of the amount.
If the acquisition fails, and he also hopes to win the angel round of financing at one time, Xu Chenghua knows that there must be many other VC investors who have taken a fancy to the blue space, and they may already be on the way.
Luo Sheng shook his head and said: "Mr. Xu, I very much agree with your current valuation of Bluestar Technology, I recognize this figure, but the financing of 300 is too much for our company at this stage, and we can't use so much money for the time being." β
This answer was unexpected by Xu Chenghua, but after thinking about it, it was reasonable, and he immediately smiled: "Since Mr. Luo is not satisfied with this plan, is there any other plan?" β
The question is so, but Xu Chenghua is 100% sure that the other party has a plan.
Luo Sheng said: "It is still calculated according to Mr. Xu's valuation of 12 million after financing, but we only sell 8% of the equity, that is, 960,000 financing, and your company can only invest in Bluestar Technology as a financial investor, and last point, I will not share the company's veto power." β
"This ......" Xu Chenghua hesitated for a while, unable to answer for a while.
And Luo Sheng's team members secretly smacked their tongues, they could only express their personal feelings in their hearts, they were still self-aware of their abilities, and they couldn't intervene at the moment, and keeping silent was the biggest help to Luo Sheng.
Xu Chenghua looked helpless, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Luo, your desire to control is a bit too strong, and all the conditions are only beneficial to you, but for us, there is no guarantee at all." This is so unfair, I can't accept it, I don't have a veto, if I give you money, you young people take it and spend it indiscriminately, won't I lose a lot? β
The purpose of the so-called financial investors is not to hold shares, but to pay more attention to the returns that can be brought by the income generated by the invested enterprises.
After Xu Chenghua set a close look, he added: "Brother Luo, what do you think, I still invest in Bluestar Technology with 3 million funds, but I only account for 8% of the equity, and I hope to retain the right to veto." This is already the biggest concession, if I go further there is a cliff, there is no way back, to be honest, I am responsible for investing in a lot of start-ups, angel round investment has never been less than 20% equity and give up a veto. β
In the end, Xu Chenghua secretly immediately had a new understanding of Luo Sheng, that is, this young man has a strong desire to control.
At this moment, Luo Sheng's team members almost wanted to say to him: Hurry up and agree, the price of 3 million has been reduced from the beginning of the wholly-owned acquisition to 25%, and then to the current 8%, why are you still not satisfied, boss?
The heart is too big!
At this time, Luo Sheng smiled calmly: "Mr. Xu, I'm more curious why you are so obsessed with having a veto?" β
Xu Chenghua didn't answer immediately, recalled what he said earlier, confirmed that there was nothing wrong, and said with a smile: "Actually, whether it is 960,000 or 3 million, it is not much difference for Teng Xun, it is just a small amount of money." Having said that, we treat money as a resource, and we don't want to waste any resources, we want it to be used where it should be. β
"The veto is not a concerted action agreement, we do not interfere in the company's operations, we just want to have a few words as an investor when your team may be extravagant and wasteful. After all, you're all young people, and although I'm optimistic about you, one yard is one yard, isn't it? β
It can be said that Xu Chenghua's remarks are reasonable, reasonable, and very sincere, and even several members of Luo Sheng's team can't help but nod silently in agreement with his words, and their favorability towards him continues to rise.
Xu Yong's reaction, Luo Sheng also saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What is a group of naΓ―ve young people, if you really give Xiao Ma a veto, community B will definitely usher in a catastrophe, this is a demonic trap disguised behind the face of an angel.
The team members didn't see the mystery, Luo Sheng didn't blame them, and he didn't think they were good enough, so it was too harsh for them to let a few young people who had no experience see through it like a person like himself.
At this point, Luo Sheng felt that it was time for the showdown to expose his true face to face, only to see him say slowly: "Mr. Xu, is this really the case?" But I don't think so, and maybe you're underestimating my judgment. β
Xu Chenghua's heart jumped slightly, secretly shocked, but he still pretended to be puzzled: "I don't understand what you mean." β
Xu Yong and the six members of his team were puzzled, could it be that there was some ulterior secret here?
Luo Sheng smiled and said, "If my guess is correct, your company estimates that another wave of people is working overtime to build a new website that imitates the blue space model." So on this basis, let's deduce several situations that may occur on the spot, Mr. Xu, you might as well come to the referee, whether I am right or wrong, you can judge in your heart, you don't need to say it. β
At this moment, Xu Chenghua's heart is wonderful, his expression is indifferent, not that his expression is well managed, but he is directly confused.
Luo Sheng gestured for a moment and continued: "If I agree to sell the company, then the development groups that imitate the blue space may merge with each other, and I will gradually lose the right to dominate and operate, this is the first type; Second, if I don't agree to sell the company, your company will settle down and invest in my company as an investor, and you must try to get a veto of the company, and when you get a veto, the company is finished. β
Luo Sheng changed his posture and crossed Erlang's legs, spread his hands and said, "How do you say this?" Although a veto cannot vote on a company to do something, a veto can veto a company to do something. So the problem is, if we swap positions and I take the helm of Tengxun, with this veto, I can easily and indirectly kill the Blue Space website and put my own website in power. β
"How? It's also very simple, for example, Blue Space decides to use a fund to launch a new piece of content, and finds a reason to veto it; It was decided to use a sum of money to open up the market, and find a reason to veto it...... In various vetoes, the blue space has stagnated or even regressed in the golden period of development. However, my parody website is expanding like crazy, and its market share is getting bigger and bigger, and when the blue space is completely uncontestable, and the Matthew effect is formed, I can throw it in the trash. β
Speaking of this, Luo Sheng couldn't help but close his eyes, revealing a hearty expression, and after a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Xu Chenghua with a sluggish face, and said, "It's too tempting to easily kill the blue space and replace it at a small price of 3 million...... Mr. Xu, what do you say? β
In this living room, except for Luo Sheng, who was still smiling, everyone else seemed to be petrified, and after he finished speaking, the whole audience could hear the needle dropping.
