Chapter 27 Global Capital
Lin Feng is a well-known rich second generation and playboy in Donghai City, among whom the eldest brother Lin Shu has helped to publicize.
Lin Feng's parents knew this, and even thought that it was a good thing that Lin Shucai could feel some sense of crisis, after all, Lin Feng, the eldest brother, was the successor with high hopes in Lin Zhengying's mind.
From a very young age, Lin Shucai was taken by his father's side to cultivate his abilities and received the best education, and Lin Zhengying always expected him to lead the Lin family to a higher level.
However, this does not mean that Lin Zhengying does not care about Lin Feng, he is more like a kind of doting on Lin Feng, he has always wanted the wind to be windy, and he wants to be rainy, probably thinking that the family property left behind is enough for Lin Feng to squander for several lifetimes, so he has never had any harsh standards for Lin Feng.
On the other hand, the eldest brother Lin Shucai, even if he didn't do a good job in a small matter, he would be severely reprimanded and must be corrected immediately.
Facts have proved that Lin Zhengying's education is very successful, Lin Shucai is notoriously excellent in the business field, the elite of the elite, whether it is educational knowledge or personal ability, is first-class outstanding.
His parents' thoughts were shown very early, and Lin Feng never had the intention of competing with Lin Shucai, so when he became an adult, he set up his own company, Lemon Live.
Before Lin Feng crossed, the live broadcast industry was already very prosperous, from Tencent to Alibaba, it had already begun to lay out, but in the world where Lin Feng is now, live broadcast is still a new concept that has never been proposed.
Lin Feng was the one who ate crabs, but he was very optimistic about the prospects.
The phone on the couch vibrated and a text message popped up.
"Boss, Global Capital from Tianjing City is here, and they have sent a professional team to evaluate the investment before, and they want to see you."
The signature is Li Jie.
Li Jie is the CEO of Lemon Live, and also a professional manager hired by Lin Feng, with rich experience in the industry, with management experience in many companies, in the process of establishing Lemon Live, Lin Feng asked him how to run a company.
And it is very expensive to create such a live broadcast company, especially when there is no income in the early stage, and the concept of live broadcast has not yet been proposed, a large amount of money is needed to advertise for operation and promotion, and Lin Feng has spent all the start-up capital.
Now the funds on the books can still last for three months, if there is no capital to enter the market within three months, Lemon Live will go out of business.
Even if the Lin family is the richest man in Donghai City, it is impossible to make additional investments in a project that proves to be a failure.
Therefore, Lin Feng has been seeking new sources of funds, and Global Capital is a very important object.
It is the top investment group in China, if it can be recognized by the other party, not only do not have to worry about the problem of capital breakage in the short term, but also can attract more investors, and the difficulty of financing in the next step will be much reduced.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng took out a suit that he hadn't worn for a long time from the wardrobe in the bedroom, tied his tie, and after saying something to Sister Zhang, he drove a Land Rover from the garage and drove towards the downtown area of Donghai City.
Half an hour later, Lin Feng had already arrived in front of the landmark building of Donghai City, Ping'an Building.
This landmark building in Donghai City has 60 floors and is more than 200 meters high, and it is the property of the Lin family, and for Lin Zhengying, who started his real estate career, this building is also his proudest work, and Lin Feng rented two floors of it as the company's office space.
Through the special elevator, Lin Feng quickly reached the thirtieth floor, and as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, a middle-aged man with a briefcase, gold wire glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a few strands of white hair between his temples greeted him, his expression was very anxious, and he said, "Boss, you are finally here." ”
He is the CEO of Lemon Live, Li Jie.
"How long have you been here?" Lin Feng sorted out his mood, prepared the wording in his mind, and how to persuade the other party to invest.
"It's been more than half an hour, and I'm now in the company's conference room," Li Jie replied, taking out a document from the briefcase in his hand, "This is my summary of the company's and the advantages of the live broadcast industry, and the prospects for future development, boss, you can use it as a reference." ”
Lin Feng browsed it hastily and said: "The summary is very good, and it is also very thoughtful, you can fully represent the company to talk to them about this thing." ”
"This method will not work", Li Jie said with a wry smile, "They asked the boss to go in person, and Global Capital did not recognize that I had the qualifications to negotiate." ”
"Then so be it", after these few words, Lin Feng had already walked to the door of the conference room, knocked on the door, and then directly pushed the door and walked in.
After all, it is your own territory, and you don't need to get the consent of the other party.
More than a dozen people from Global Capital came and sat on one side of the conference room, while Lin Feng sat opposite.
The leader was a woman in her thirties, dressed in a decent professional attire, with her short hair neatly tied back at the back of her head, looking very capable.
She is one of the directors of the investment department of Huanyu Capital, her name is Chen Quanjiao, and she holds billions of investment shares in her hands.
"Lin Feng, right", Chen Quanjiao raised his head, held a thick document in his hand, picked up his glasses from the table and put them on, and said, "To be honest, I have never been very optimistic about people like you. ”
"I've heard your name, in some lace news."
At this, a suppressed, low laugh rang out in the conference room.
"At Global Capital, the founder's qualifications are a very important reference when choosing a target to invest in, and you are just a fledgling young man."
"Oh, it's a bit inaccurate here, it's supposed to be a hairy young man who has just come of age, and he has a bad reputation."
"What, am I right?" Chen Quanjiao's words are very sharp, and the rhythm is not hurried or slow.
"And we've always believed that global investors are investing in people, not in a company, and you're not qualified in that regard."
"So you have three minutes to convince me and change my mind." Chen Quanjiao made a summary, then raised his head and stared at Lin Feng with aggressive eyes.
Everyone else was also looking at Lin Feng, as if they wanted to see a flower from him.
The atmosphere in the conference room is very oppressive, and if you change to someone with little experience, you may be so flustered that you can't speak.
But Lin Feng is a human being, although he is a young man physically, his psychological experience is no longer comparable to that of a fledgling person.
Chen Quanjiao's intentions are very clear to him, creating such an atmosphere and putting forward all kinds of unfavorable conditions is nothing more than a negotiation technique, the purpose is to suppress the value of Lin Feng, so as to gain the initiative in negotiations.
As a company that has just been established for more than two years, there is no need to say much about the prospects for development, and if Global Capital is not optimistic about this industry, they do not have to send a special team to evaluate it.
And they have all reached the interview link, in fact, the evaluation results of Global Capital have been quite clear, that is, to invest in lemon live.
The reason why Lin Feng must talk about this matter is because it involves capital shareholding, and only Lin Feng has the power to make decisions.
Before investing, what Chen Quanjiao has to do is to suppress the value of the company so as to get more benefits.
In terms of the company, there is really no good breakthrough, Li Jie is a very experienced professional manager, and he manages the company in an orderly manner, which is more than a star and a half stronger than Lin Feng's own hands.
Therefore, I can only find shortcomings from Lin Feng, the founder, and in this regard, Chen Quanjiao can do a lot of articles.
The thick documents in her hand include almost all the deeds of Lin Feng from childhood to adulthood, and with this detailed information, Chen Quanjiao has the confidence to blow Lin Feng to the groundless.
The conference room was still very quiet, and Lin Feng had been silent for dozens of seconds, as if he didn't know what to say.
Chen Quanjiao thought about it and secretly wondered if what she said was too heavy.
After all, this is just a young and vigorous young man, and if he talks too seriously, it will not be good to break up under impulse.
Unexpectedly, after being silent, Lin Feng broke the peace with a chuckle.
"Ms. Chen is indeed a very professional negotiator, and from personal experience, I have nothing to refute in this regard", Lin Feng spoke, his voice clear and steady.
"The past experience is indeed a reference, but it is not that important, I think the investment of Global Capital is more focused on the future, otherwise, there is no need for you to sit here."
"Lemon Live has created an industry, and it has hundreds of outstanding anchors, especially leaders like Li Yunyao, who have had a great impact on society."
"And our daily active users are growing explosively, live streaming has become more and more into people's daily life, you might as well imagine what kind of popularity this entertainment method will be in the next ten years, it will enter thousands of households..."
Lin Feng talked eloquently, he did not dwell on his qualifications, but put the topic on the company's future development direction, prospects and the huge benefits that will be generated.
This is where global capital can be impressed.
Lin Feng said more and more, but Chen Quanjiao was not listening carefully, because she already knew what Lin Feng said, and the purpose of this interview was how to get the maximum benefit at the lowest cost.
Therefore, Chen Quanjiao interrupted Lin Feng's words, still looked at Lin Feng with aggressive eyes, and said:
"What you say makes a lot of sense, and we agree with that, but Global Capital is optimistic about the industry, not you."
"As far as I know, as the son of the Lin family, in your growth trajectory, only spending time drinking and soaking women, sports cars, yachts and women are your favorite things."
"In terms of personal ability, I don't evaluate other aspects, but from your educational experience, you have not gone to university, you have not received higher education."
Speaking of which, everyone in the conference room looked over, because they could all be called elites.
Lin Feng also secretly cursed, he was a human being in two lives, he was a saint warrior in his previous life until he was a postdoctoral fellow, but he didn't want to repeat this process in this life.
"To describe it with the idiom of not learning and not knowing, I think there is nothing wrong with it", Chen Quanjiao showed a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, and decided to try to be poor:
"How can you lead a company like this to survive the fierce competition? Maybe soon, Lemon Live will go out of business, or it will be eliminated. ”
"So, Global Capital has given you a chance", Chen Quanjiao took out a document and put it in front of Lin Feng, "Sign this agreement, and then leave with 200 million, stay away from these competitions, pressure and fatigue, and live your relaxed and colorful life, that is your life." ”
"And that's the best choice for you, for this company."
Lin Feng didn't look at the agreement, but raised his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said word by word: "What if I don't agree?" ”
"As I said before, Global Capital is very optimistic about this industry, even if there is no lemon live, there will be another one, and we can also form our own team." Chen Quanjiao also accentuated her tone, "As far as I know, the Lin family's main business is in real estate, and there are no channels and no professionals to help you." ”
"In such an industry, resources are king, and Global Capital has an application like OICQ that is popular to everyone, with huge traffic and contacts, and you can't compete with us."
"If you don't sign this agreement, what awaits you is that Lemon Live will fail in the competition and be eliminated, and then this company will be worthless, and you won't get anything."
The atmosphere in the conference room was tense to the extreme, almost tense, reminding Lin Feng of the dangerous battlefield in the presidential palace in the Resident Evil world.
Shopping malls are like battlefields, they are all places of fighting.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng laughed, knocked heavily on the table in the conference room with his right hand, and said in a tough tone:
"I'm Lin Feng, Lin Feng of the Lin family."
"So, I don't care if I get something, or if I don't get anything."
"If it's competition, then let the horse come, I, Lin Feng, have never been afraid of these before, and I won't be afraid in the future."
"If it is cooperation, I welcome any friend, not only Global Capital, but also resources, channels, contacts and funds are not unique to Global Capital, I have many choices, as you said."
"Without Global Capital, there will be another, and even the Lin family can set foot in this field."
Speaking of this, Lin Feng picked up the agreement on the table, tore it in half, and threw it into the trash.
Facing Chen Quanjiao's eyes, Lin Feng also looked directly without retreating.
There was silence again, no one spoke, and time seemed to stand still.
After a long time.
"Bang Bang"
Chen Quanjiao raised her hand, clapped her hands twice, and said in a gentle tone: "I didn't expect Lin Gongzi to be such a person." ”
"I apologize for my previous remarks to Lin Gongzi, you have been recognized by us."
"As for this information, it has no reference value", Chen Quanjiao said, putting aside the document in his hand, "It's better to be famous than to meet, the young people of the Lin family are very good." ”
"As for the acquisition, it is just a small idea of mine, and it does not represent the intention of Global Capital."
"Before coming, the headquarters has already set the intention of cooperation with your company, so let's talk about the specific details."
"As I said before, we both had a lot of choices, but luckily, we both chose each other, didn't we?"
"Again, I, Lin Feng, welcome any friend who is willing to invest to do business together and make a lot of money together", Lin Feng smiled, as if he had forgotten all the unpleasantness before, and then said: "For Lemon Live, Global Capital came here with money, enthusiasm and love, we all want to make this industry bigger and bigger, and the goal and direction are the same." ”
"I am sure that the cooperation between the two parties will be very pleasant."
Chen Quanjiao also lost the domineering arrogance before, but looked at Lin Feng with a very equal attitude, took out the second document, and said: "This is our company's investment plan, and we plan to inject 100 million yuan, on the condition that we hold 51% of the company's shares." ”
Lin Feng took the agreement, glanced at it hastily, put it aside, and said with a smile: "Global Capital is really rich, and it is really a big deal, and it is 100 million yuan as soon as it is sold." However, Lemon Live does not need such money at the moment. ”
"Moreover, the shares can be transferred at a maximum of 30 percent, and you want absolute control, which is impossible."
Chen Quanjiao was not angry, but persuaded: "For a company, being able to make money is the most important thing." ”
"If Lemon Live can earn 100 million a year, even if you can only get one-tenth of it, it will be 10 million, on the contrary, if the company doesn't earn a penny a year, even if you own 90% of the shares, it is about zero."
"If Global Capital can control 51%, then I can guarantee that Lemon Live can get all the resources, channels and traffic entrances of Global, and what you can get will be the support of Global Capital regardless of the cost."
"If you still insist on the bottom line of this 30% share, then I can only say sorry that we will re-examine the investment value of Lemon Live, and the headquarters will not offer the same favorable conditions as just now."
Lin Feng hesitated for a long time, and had to say that the price offered by Global Capital was indeed very attractive, and no matter from which point of view, it was the best choice for Lemon Live.
The conference room fell silent, and Chen Quanjiao looked at Lin Feng without blinking, trying to see the inner activity from his expression.
After thinking about it again, Lin Feng still decided to stick to his previous opinion and said:
"Honestly, I think as a boss, controlling a company is more important than owning a company."
"As the first company I established, Lemon Live is like a child to all of us, and it won't be easily handed over."
"I recognize your sincerity, so we each make a move, and Global Capital injects 50 million to account for 30% of the shares."
"If you insist on absolute control, I don't think there is any need for this negotiation to continue."
Chen Quanjiao listened carefully to every sentence, but did not reply immediately, but asked Lin Feng to leave the conference room, leaving her and a dozen colleagues inside to discuss whether to accept Lin Feng's opinion.
"Boss, how are you talking?" Li Jie had been waiting outside for a long time, and when he saw Lin Feng coming out, he immediately asked.
How much liquidity is still on the lemon live account, he, the CEO, knows very well that the company is in great need of a new capital injection.
Therefore, he attaches great importance to the results of this negotiation, although he did not participate in the interview in the conference room, Li Jie is much more nervous than Lin Feng.
"Don't worry, there should be no problem", Lin Feng waved his hand and comforted.
"That's good, the boss is out, it's not a hand-to-hand capture." Li Jie wiped the sweat from his face, and when he saw Lin Feng say this, he also put down a big stone in his heart.
After waiting outside the conference room for more than half an hour, Lin Feng could vaguely hear the sound of fierce disputes, and some people thought that they should continue to put pressure on Lin Feng to give up more shares; At the same time, some people objected, believing that it should be done in moderation, and the cooperation should be decided first, and the matter of shares should be dealt with later.
When it was quiet inside, a man opened the door of the conference room and said, "Mr. Lin, please come over." ”
As soon as Lin Feng entered and sat down, he heard Chen Quanjiao say with a serious face: "We generally accept your proposal. ”
"With 50 million injections of lemon live, Global Capital will hold 30% of the shares."
"But we have two additional conditions."
"First, Global Capital must be qualified for equity financing in the future, and if Lemon Live has a second round of financing needs, Global Capital can continue to make additional investments."
"Second, if Mr. Lin intends to transfer the shares he holds, Global Capital will have the highest priority right to purchase shares."
Lin Feng thought about it for a moment, nodded, and said cautiously, "I can accept it." ”
"Then it's decided, we will send someone to send the official written documents, and sign the contract at the next meeting." Chen Quanjiao stood up, stretched out her right hand, and said, "Mr. Lin, happy cooperation." ”
Lin Feng also stretched out his hand to shake it, and said with a smile: "Time will prove that Global Capital's choice is wise." ”
"In addition, as the host, we have booked a place in the best hotel in Donghai City to welcome you from afar..."
~~
It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that Lin Feng took the car back to the coastal villa.
After drinking the sobering soup boiled by Sister Zhang, Lin Feng rubbed his groggy head, felt a little sober, and turned on the OICQ on his mobile phone.
A lot of message boxes popped up, but there was no need to reply, many of them were advertisements, asking him, a big customer, to spend money.
Cen Tianxiang's message popped up, and the news with special attention was placed in an extremely conspicuous position.
Lin Feng clicked on it and saw that there were still a lot of messages, Cen Tianxiang first complained about why he didn't reply to the message, and then asked Lin Feng to leave his current address, saying that he would come over soon.
I didn't expect this girl I met in the Resident Evil mission to be really lively, and I said before that I wanted to borrow Lin Feng's Gauss kinetic rifle to try the feel, and I sent a message in the afternoon.
Lin Feng briefly explained why he was not online today, and then left the location of the coastal villa.
In order to prevent Cen Tianxiang from finding this villa located on the outskirts of Donghai City and facing the sea, Lin Feng also deliberately marked it on the map.
After replying to Cen Tianxiang's message, the second thing that flashed was a dialog box with the remark "Brother Long", and the message was very simple:
"Call back, my brother has something good to look for you."
Li Yunlong, nicknamed "Brother Long", is one of the "fox friends and dog friends" that Lin Feng knows.
It is not very appropriate to say that it is a "fox friend and dog friend", because Li Yunlong is Lin Feng's iron buddy who has played since he was a child, one or two years older than Lin Feng, and he is also an out-and-out second generation, his father is the mayor of Donghai City, and Lin Zhengying has a good relationship, and the friendship between the two families has continued to Lin Feng's generation.
