Several investors from the city of Sabin were a little restless at this time.

Strictly speaking, they belong to the same camp as the capitalists in the city of Kuriland on the other side, and in many cases they always maintain a shared attitude in terms of resources and information.

This is where the capitalists with political camps have an advantage in the face of some capitalists in the uncamped or neutral camp, and they may even form a temporary alliance with the interference of some powerful people.

But they can't be exactly the same group, after all, they have never eaten in the same trough, not to mention that this time these people want to steal business, they are even more unlikely to mingle with each other.

And what really made them feel uneasy was that they claimed that the valuation of the interstellar trading company was 70 million, not to mention whether Mark really used 2 million to buy 3% of the shares, in short, this valuation is absolutely indispensable now.

It has nothing to do with Mark, if the valuation is lowered, first of all, Mark's holdings will increase, and then they may come up with more wealth than they budget to compete for more equity.

Everyone knows that whoever has the most shares in a company will speak loudly, and who can get the support of more people will decide everything in a company.

This comes from the fact that start-up companies have a love-hate relationship with investors and investment companies, and their equity is often lower than that of investment companies, which has led to many founders eventually being ridiculously removed from the board of directors and kicked out.

Previously, their idea was to negotiate the valuation as much as possible, and then sing a duet with Lynch, so that the outside world's stock price of Interstellar Trade Company continued to rise.

They weren't worried that Lynch would say yes, because it would be faster and more profitable than doing business with their feet on the ground.

Inflating a company's market valuation is essentially no different from speculating on the price of a work of art, constantly flipping hands to increase people's expected value.

It's just that the antique hype is ultimately waiting for a fool, and the hype of a company's market value is to wait for a group of fools after it goes public.

At present, a large number of capitalists in the Federation of Baylor and even in the whole world are changing from the most primitive entity operation to the operation of capital, and they no longer pursue the value of commodities, but only value.

They thought they could get more of Lynch's shares for relatively little money and other things.

But there are competitors, and if they put the price down, it means that the other party can spend less money and do more things (get more equity), and once the two sides start to compete, the contradiction will be sharp, and their losses will be greater.

There is also a young man who is not careful, Lynch.

If at this point they still thought that Lynch was just a lucky boy, then they were really stupid, and the mistake of arranging the two of them together was either stupid or cunning.

There is no doubt that Lynch doesn't seem to be a stupid young man, and he quietly got Mark, which means that they are the ones who have lost their eyes.

"Everyone is here for my company......", Lynch smiled and took a sip of coffee, the slightly bitter taste followed by a mellow aroma, baked just right, he put down the cup, looked at the two groups of people for a long time, and continued, "I don't reject other people's investment in the interstellar trading company, I never think that a successful person can succeed alone, and everyone's success needs the help of some people." ”

"If I succeed, you are the ones who help me, and vice versa, if you succeed, I am the one who helps you. ”

When he said this, he set the tone of this small meeting, that is, to agree to invest in shares, an attitude that no one can find fault.

In order to plunder the wealth, these federal capitalists even pushed for a legal clause requiring companies valued at more than 10 million to have multiple "shareholders", which can be said to be for the purpose of forcibly acquiring equity.

Lynch did not object to the investment but welcomed them warmly, but for some reason, they felt a little ...... Taste.

Immediately afterwards, he talked about some core content, "Actually, let everyone sit together, but there are some things I don't want to repeat over and over again, I hope you can measure me, after all, I am a young man, and sometimes my personality will be very bad." ”

He also looked at the two groups of people on both sides, and after everyone expressed their understanding, he nodded noncommittally, "In my eyes, my company must be the best in the world, but I also know very well that this is not objective enough, and we must respect the choice of the market." ”

"Not long ago, Mark, a famous young entrepreneur in Sabin, got three percent of the shares from me for two million, I think that's a relatively reasonable price, what do you think?"

The people here in Sabin City were choked by Lynch's words, and the estimate of 70 million was also publicized by themselves, and they didn't have the courage to ask Mark if he really gave 2 million.

If the other party really gave two million, they would have to face the mayor's wrath because they caused the mayor to lose money.

So they pinned their hopes for a counterattack on these merchants in Kuriland City, and for the first time they hoped that these people would be of some use and bring the price down.

It's just that their silence makes the merchants here in Curiland City have the idea of ...... "this is the general truth", don't you see that the merchants in Sabin City have not spoken out against it?

They didn't know much about Lynch's company, after all, it was a company in another city, and in this age of inconvenient communication, people only wanted to learn about what they were interested in.

And this time they were asked to come by the mayor's personal retinue Noah, Noah quietly told them that they were very optimistic about Lynch's company, which was telling them that if they wanted to find a way to take a part of Lynch's company's shares, they must at least be able to attend the company's board of directors.

As long as he can get a portion of the equity, and through these shareholders to increase the pressure on the board, Lynch can invest more construction money in the city of Kuriland and provide more jobs.

Sometimes it has to be said that being a politician in the Federation is really not an easy thing to do, because to be a qualified politician is not only to figure out politics and its gameplay, but also to know enough about the economy.

These people came with a very simple purpose, and when they saw the person opposite, they didn't speak, and acquiesced to Lynch's statement, so naturally they didn't interject.

Neither side spoke, and to be honest, this also surprised Lynch, he thought that these people would start to suppress his valuation, and he even thought about it when he talked about the price concessions he would make later, but he would cut the business and turn one company into three, so that they would still have to give him a lot of money.

It's just that they chose to choose the default, which somewhat makes Lynch feel that these people are a little cute, silly cute.

He nodded, patted the armrest of the sofa, and the matter was basically finalized, and all that remained was the tug-of-war between quantity and payment method.

"At least half of the cash, that's the bottom line ......"

This time Lynch was finally interrupted, and the people who spoke were the merchants from the city of Sabine, who felt that if they didn't speak, the people on the other side would remain as silent as fools.

At that time, many things will be irreparable, so they have to open their mouths.

"This can't be, Mr. Lynch!", the person who spoke was thin and tall, in fact, many times when people think of capitalists and businessmen, their first impression is that they are slightly bald, greasy middle-aged fat people, and very treacherous and oily.

In fact, this is just a product of the times, most capitalists actually maintain a very healthy physical condition, because they have a special housekeeper or other people to help them manage their health, and they also have enough time and money to use the most advanced and scientific methods to solve some of their own problems.

Some scientists have said that the world's most cutting-edge scientific and technological inventions were invented to better serve the wealthy, and they never considered serving ordinary people from the beginning.

Moreover, the more successful the capitalists, the stricter they are in self-discipline, and it is now difficult to appear the kind of fat capitalists who are so fat that they have to pant when they walk, greasy and treacherous.

Lynch looked at him, he also met Lynch's gaze without fear, his heart was bleeding at the thought of losing a large sum of extra money, and now he wanted to cut him in the head, he would never agree, and he would not agree to die!

After expressing strong opposition, his tone softened slightly, "Mr. Lynch, you know the situation, it's getting harder and harder to get cash back now, and we have a lot of other contingencies to deal with......

Others also nodded, it is difficult to get the money back, but it is very simple to spend money, just pay all kinds of wages every month, and the management costs of water, electricity and gas or site use will give them a headache for a while.

If Lynch asks for such a high proportion of cash, some of them may fall into a situation of cash flow difficulties in an instant, and even lead to the rupture of the capital chain.

So a 50 percent cash ratio is absolutely no!

Lynch looked at him, "So how much do you think is appropriate?"

The tall and thin man gave a result that they had discussed before, "About 15 percent, which is a reasonable ratio." ”

Lynch shook his head directly, "No, it's too little, I can't possibly agree." ”

The tall and thin man looked like they were communicating with each other, and then raised two points, "Seventeen percent cash, this is our greatest sincerity!"

Lynch stood up directly, he patted his buttocks, and looked down at these people, "I drank at night, and my mind is a little messy now, and we feel that we need to think about this issue again, and we will find a time to talk about it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." ”

The tall and thin man is also very resolute, "Even if it is the day after tomorrow, this ratio will not fluctuate too much." ”

Lynch scoffed and turned to leave.

In fact, he knew the tricks played by these people when he first entered the industry, and they didn't care about the valuation of their company, because they probably didn't think about how much money they would spend to buy shares in the first place.

I have to say that Mark is a kind and honest child, and these capitalists seem to be weak, they are the real wolves!

Their tricks are actually nothing special to put it bluntly, the market value of a company is composed of many aspects, if you want to determine how much a company is worth, just look at its net worth.

But no company will talk about the issue of net worth with others, the simplest example, many companies are using bank loans as annual income, debt management is a very normal thing, these companies will avoid talking about the issue of net worth.

It may be that when a company with a market value of 10 billion yuan talks about its net value, the market value will be millions in an instant, or even negative.

Therefore, capitalists are very clever to introduce the concept of expected value into the estimation of market value, to put it bluntly, it is to calculate the money that has been probably, probably, and had the opportunity to earn in advance into the value of the company, make a short-term market value valuation, and then push this short-term market value valuation to people as the value of the company.

Even if Lynch values his company at 100 million, these businessmen will not think that this is a headache, and it is very simple to solve it, they will also get a company with a valuation of 100 million, and then cross-shareholding can get shares of Lynch's company.

I'm also a billion, you're a billion, I'll exchange my 10% for your 10%, no problem, right?

As for my company that suddenly closed down later, it was because I was not doing well, and you can't blame me.

The shares of your company that I hold in my hand are offset to a third-party debt company, in other words, you can trap a company empty-handed.

So no matter how high the valuation of Lynch's company is, these people are not afraid, they have a way.

But what really gave them a headache was the proportion of cash that Lynch asked for, which was real cash and there was no way to do anything about it.

It doesn't matter if it's a dollar denomination or a hundred dollars, it's all money, it's all cash!

Their original plan was to get at least 30% of Lynch's shares for about 2 million, but now the valuation problem will not change, the price will not move, and these people can only manipulate the proportion of cash.

Even now, if they do it the way they do, they can get 35% of the shares of Lynch, a company with a market value of 70 million, for about three or four million in cash!

It sounds like a fantasy, buying more than 20 million shares for three or four million, but this is the most common method in the capital market, because they will also exchange shares of various companies, property rights, and the like, which may be worth about 20 million.

Mind you, it's just a possibility, the financial markets are full of risks, and there's always something that's not worth much just after an overnight break.

It's just that they may not be able to realize their ideas this time, and in terms of cunning and treachery, Lynch is definitely superior!
