Chapter 259: Strategic Investment

"Mr. Cai, you are not kind enough, why do you forget your old friends when you want to go public?" Liu Chengyuan, the chief partner of IDG, said in a straight voice that SAL was preparing to launch two businesses to go public, and as soon as the news spread, all kinds of people came one after another, and the first to come were the representatives of the venture capital companies that originally invested in SAL.

Representatives from IDG, Carlyle Investments, SoftBank Ventures, and Sequoia Capital all came.

Waiting for the harvest season, how could they miss it.

"That's it, Mr. Cai, everyone is rich, why do we also have a strategic cooperative relationship, don't tell us about this kind of good thing, this is really a bit unkind." Lu Yunpeng was also very dissatisfied, venture capital representative Liu Rucheng is a member of the board of directors, since this kind of news has formed such a big movement in the company, how can it be hidden from him.

Longcheng Consulting is a listing consultant hired by SAL, and it has close ties with various investment institutions, after all, there are many opportunities to borrow from various people in the listing process, so this news cannot be contained.

Venture capital representative Liu Rucheng

"Where, this is not a word, I just found a consultant to come over to help see, whether our business has the potential to be listed, and now we are talking about whether to go public or not, it is really a bit early." Cai Siqiang explained with a smile on his face.

I was secretly a little dissatisfied with Liu Rucheng in my heart, and I had just set up a securities department to start looking for people to be investment banks, and then hired a listed consulting company to be a consultant.

In fact, nothing has been announced yet, and Nima's sense of touch is too sensitive, and in just a few days, everyone in the world seems to know about it.

However, Cai Siqiang is not clear about the rules of survival in this circle, and a representative of a venture capital company like Liu Rucheng is actually an eye and ear in the company.

Now that the company has begun to set up a securities department, this clear signal Liu Rucheng doesn't know what will happen next, so he can retire and leave, and he has no eyes to occupy the position of a director, and the company has a living Bodhisattva? So it is serious to quickly inform your owners of the company's news.

Of course, a few venture capital bigwigs will not simply come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, this is unnecessary, and the serious is to use this as an excuse to think about how to take out some dry goods from Cai Siqiang's mouth.

At this time, the fact that the line of fire is the fastest to get money and the lowest risk is not the focus of everyone's attention, and the fact that almost every business area in which SAL is involved is explosive growth makes venture capitalists almost red-eyed.

Unfortunately, in addition to the intermediate financing to buy TOMTOM, a declining navigation manufacturer, SAL closed the window for venture capital, and even the acquisition of Nokia's mobile phone business was completed by the funds obtained by Duke from the sale of part of the shares of MI USA and SAL's own funds.

It's useless to be in a hurry when a thirsty venture capital is dry.

This time, it was finally rumored that part of the business was going to be spun off and listed, and as you know, this is almost the last chance, so I flew over as soon as I received the news.

Buying shares before the IPO is to grab money, and whoever is not active is by no means a good venture capital.

"Anyway, Mr. Cai, in the history of SAL's growth, our few companies still do a little bit of effort, and there should always be a consolation prize, right?" Carlyle Investment's Zhou Chen said politely, but he hardly gave Cai Siqiang a chance to refuse.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is this year's Longjing Spring Tea, don't be busy complaining, taste the wonders of this Longjing first, and then discuss it quietly, come, please sit down." In the VIP conference room, there is already a secretary who has prepared everything.

The best Longjing is still flying up and down in the transparent flowerless glass, as if dancing fairy, the soup is green, delicate and delicate, and the fragrance is overflowing, showing that the company has gone up a step in the reception, and initially has a large company's style.

Compared with the paper cup bubble Maofeng back then, it is completely different.

Venture capital bigwigs haven't drunk any tea, but since the complaint just now has had an effect, everyone will accept it.

"Good tea." After taking a sip of the freshly soaked dragon well, Lu Yunpeng spoke. "Now that the tea is also tasting, Mr. Cai, what kind of charter is this listing, can you talk about it?"

Today, everyone is here, there are expectations and nervousness, although the billion-dollar investment in SAL, now in terms of valuation, has at least doubled, compared to the original valuation of more than 20 billion US dollars, SAL has at least more than 100 billion US dollars, although it is not yet the end of the year, I don't know how much income can be realized, but from the current situation forecast, we estimate that more than 10 billion US dollars is not much suspense.

But after all, this thing is only on the books, without IPO (listing), everyone's investment will not be able to recover the real money, although it can also be cashed out through equity transfer, but then it will inevitably be greatly discounted, eat the meat in the mouth, who wants to spit it out?

Therefore, it is the king to recoup it through an IPO (listing). Today I finally heard the sound, who doesn't stare at it.

Speaking of which, Cai Siqiang can't be sloppy anymore, "Since all the gods of wealth are here today, then I will tell you some of the company's plans for the future." ”

"We are now really preparing to spin off some businesses to see if we can develop better through listing, of course, we don't have much experience in this area, so we will first ask a consultant to find out which businesses are suitable for launch."

"Now we initially feel that MI China Electronics may have the hope of impacting the domestic gem, and then Sirius Navigation will see if it can be launched in Hong Kong or NASDAQ."

Good guys, two of them were launched at once, and the venture capital bosses here were a little enthusiastic when they heard this plan, which is right, young people just have to have momentum, and take out two pieces of business at once, how can they cash out billions of dollars.

Judging from the two businesses proposed by Cai Siqiang, their equity and business are relatively independent, and the two businesses also have separate entity operations, and there is basically nothing to spin off from the business aspect.

I didn't just wait for this opportunity.

"Mr. Cai, these two businesses are good, I think they can be sold at a good price if they are launched at this time. Whether it is the mainland gem or Hong Kong or NASDAQ, we have an experienced team, and we can operate together with SAL. ”

Lu Yunpeng opened his mouth and wanted to swallow this piece of fat, which is worthy of being a capital predator.
