Chapter 483: Greed
"If you want to get 500 million simply by borrowing money, it is not easy for me to come forward, because everyone knows how difficult it is to lend money out and then get it back, and listen to what you mean, 500 million, 1 billion is just the initial funds," Han Lu lifted the teapot on the table and poured Zhang Heng a cup of Biluochun, "How much do you plan to ask for later?" ”
"It's uncertain at the moment, but the total amount is likely to reach eight billion." Zhang Heng didn't hide it from Han Lu either, and said truthfully.
Ordinary people may have been paralyzed by fright when they heard this number, but Han Lu is a famous venture capitalist after all, especially when she was working in an international investment bank in the early years, she was not unfamiliar with larger amounts of financing, so she didn't show too surprised expression when she heard this, but said, "It seems that you have already figured out how to repay this money." ”
"Well, the preliminary plan is indeed there, but I am not absolutely sure, and I have been busy lately, so I can't take care of this matter for the time being." Zhang Hengdao.
Of course, Zhang Heng had thought about how he would come up with such a large sum of money at the beginning of entrusting Ding Si to publish the transaction post, B-level props or something were just guarantees, and Zhang Heng didn't plan to really use B-level props to complete the final payment until he had to.
However, even for Zhang Heng, it is definitely not an easy thing to come up with 8 billion, although he sometimes stops his ability, and it is not impossible to get into the bank vault without knowing it, but Zhang Heng has to consider the serious consequences that this kind of thing may bring - causing large-scale social attention, police intervention is almost inevitable, and this is not in line with his style of doing things all along.
So Zhang Heng passed this method without much thought, and then he set his sights on other places.
The Blacksails quest was the longest quest he had ever experienced, as he was intercepted by a pirate ship at the beginning of the quest, boarded the pirate ship of Blackbeard Edward Teach, and followed the latter to Nassau, the legendary pirate kingdom, where he eventually became Lord of Nassau, King of the Seven Seas, and witnessed the last glory of the pirates in the 18th century.
In the past ten years, Zhang Heng has become friends with many famous pirate captains in history, or fought with each other, and he has learned many unknown secrets, including the whereabouts of some pirate treasures.
Although the fate of some of them has changed because of his intervention, and even the location where the last treasure is stored may have changed, it is not an easy thing for the pirates to choose the location of the treasure, and it is necessary to consider all aspects of the factors, Zhang Heng believes that there are still some treasures that remain in the memory.
In addition, Zhang Heng also has the sailing route and wreck location of a Spanish treasure ship, which is known as the biggest pearl in the entire treasure hunting world, and the preliminary estimate of the treasure on board is worth more than 13 billion yuan, although not long ago Colombia announced that it had found this Spanish treasure ship.
But Zhang Heng also looked at the news of the year and found that the wreck area announced by Colombia was not on the route of the Spanish treasure ship, and until now Colombia has not organized salvage, Zhang Heng is inclined to think that this is just a hype. The real Spanish treasure ship is still sleeping somewhere in the ocean with a ship full of treasures, waiting for the day when it will be discovered.
If the treasure ship can be found, Zhang Heng will basically be able to solve the financial problem at one time, but this matter is not so simple, in the Black Sail dungeon, Zhang Heng participated in the attack on the Spanish treasure ship, so it is also likely to affect the wreck of the Spanish treasure ship to a certain extent. Therefore, he will most likely need to re-search along the route of the ship, which is not an easy task considering that nearly three hundred years have passed, and taking into account the ocean currents and wind direction.
In addition, how to transport the treasure back after finding it is also a big problem, and if it is not solved well, it may involve international disputes, but compared with moving the bank vault directly, the impact is much smaller, and it is possible to control it within a certain range.
However, even if everything goes well, the right time, place and people are all accounted for by him, Zhang Heng will not be able to get 8 billion in just three months, which is why he asked Han Lu to raise funds first.
And Han Lu really didn't disappoint him, "If you want to borrow such a large amount of money, even if you have my guarantee, it is impossible, because no one will lend such a large amount of money to a person who doesn't know or know at all, but," Han Lu paused, "It's different when it comes to investment, capital is always crazy chasing returns, as long as there is a good investment target, you don't even need to open your mouth, there will naturally be countless people who will squeeze their heads to send you money." ”
"But I don't seem to have any valuable investment targets on my hands." Zhang Heng frowned.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can convince the capital market that your project has a profitable prospect, you can get a steady stream of funding." Han Lu said, "And I happen to be the best at this kind of thing, but today's investors are not stupid, and the era of financing purely by telling stories has passed." ”
"What does that depend on, a good product?"
"No, by telling better stories." Han Lu blinked, "Your luck is good, this is just an era when traffic is king, originally only old companies dared to use loss-making strategies to grab the market, and beat their opponents by burning money, but now almost all emerging companies have become extremely bold and aggressive, no one will care about the profit margins of unicorns, that is the last century, as long as the data burned is good enough and the prospects are attractive enough, it is natural to find round after round of investors to make the valuation continue to expand, and finally enter the secondary market, everyone is happy."
"Okay, if you're not careful, the point I'm going to say is that the current environment is very good for what we have to do next, because the more money you burn, the easier it is for you to hide the final flow of money, so all we need now is a story that is convincing enough, which may be difficult for others, but for you, I don't think it's a problem." A sly smile appeared on Han Lu's face.
And Zhang Heng on the other side also quickly guessed her plan, and raised his eyebrows, "Do you want me to take out a prop to package it for investment?" ”
"That's right, the current technology theme is particularly favored by the market, and I have been looking for a suitable target, and it is time for other investors to feel the charm of black technology, and the angel round will be led by me, 80 million, in exchange for 10% of the equity, will my offer be too greedy?"
