Chapter 81: Heavy Reward (Ask for the first order)
It's not that I don't want to answer you, but I really can't answer you that question." Chen Weidong said.
"At the beginning, I mainly relied on stock speculation to make money, and the domestic stock market was very good in '06 and '07, so it was very profitable to speculate in stocks, and I started investing in '08, and the other is to enter the US futures market and speculate on oil futures."
"Because of good luck, when the price of oil went up, it went up from not $100 a barrel to $147 a barrel. When I bought it, it fell all the way down, from $147 to $32 a barrel."
"After that, I entered the U.S. stock market, shorted the U.S. stock Nasdaq index, and made a lot of money, as for how much you said I earned a year, I really haven't calculated clearly, and I have invested a lot of money I have earned."
Xia Yu didn't know what to say when she heard it, she just knew that Chen Weidong was very rich, but it was not clear how much, anyway, there were at least tens of billions, and the money invested by her hands was tens of billions.
In addition, Toray Real Estate, a large number of land auctions to develop real estate, and the following subsidiaries buy a large number of real estate for rent, and the investment in these two items is at least 10 billion yuan.
When leaving, Chen Weidong told Xia Yu to send someone to the magic capital to invest in a take-out ordering service platform founded by a college student, called Eat.
A few days later, Xia Yu led a team to the United States and went to Silicon Valley for an investment investigation, and the first stop was Truss.
This is also requested by Chen Weidong, in Chen Weidong's impression, it seems that the president of the United States will visit Truss in April, and then he received a loan from the government's Department of Energy and got a huge loan of four US dollars.
If you go too late, and wait until Truss gets the loan, then there is nothing to talk about, and if you take the money and want to invest, people may reject you.
And this time should be the time when Truss's company is most tight, and at this time, someone with a lot of dollars in money wants to invest in Truss, and he will definitely be warmly welcomed by Tlara.
Because of the setback in the development of the first model TRoaer, Truss did not deliver the first batch of vehicles until 2008, but due to the loss-making sales caused by the high cost of construction, Truss once fell into the quagmire of broken capital chain.
It seems to be God's favor, or it is destined to be a leading enterprise in the new energy vehicle industry, which still relies on advanced technology, got Daimler's investment of 70 million US dollars, and later reached a cooperation agreement with Toyota, and finally in 2009, with the help of a low-interest loan of 465 million US dollars from the US Department of Energy, Truss successfully turned over, and successfully "emerged" on the NASDAQ in 2010, becoming the earliest independent manufacturer of pure electric vehicles listed in the United States.
But now Truss's life is very sad, although Truss's CEO Max is very optimistic about Truss, and in the future, he will continue to take out his own money to invest in Truss, but now he has no money in his account.
I was surprised to hear that an investment company from the ancient Oriental China sent an investment delegation to visit Truss Company for investment inspection, Max expressed a warm welcome, personally welcomed Xia Yu and his entourage, and led Xia Yu to visit the company.
After visiting and inspecting the company, at the symposium, Xia Yu asked Max directly: "After our visit, we are very interested in investing in Truss, but I want to know how much capital is still lacking and how much investment is needed?" How many shares can I sell?"
"Of course, the more money the company needs, the better, but our company can sell a maximum of 20% of the shares, but the company is valued at least dollars." Max said.
"Mr. Max, it's not that we didn't know anything about Truss before we came, when we were in December last year, the valuation of your company was $700 million, and now it has risen to the US dollar all of a sudden, which is a bit too much, right?" Xia Yu said with a sinking face.
"The valuation is at most a billion dollars, which is already considered high, and this has only been three months."
"No, no, no! In my opinion, the valuation of dollars is already very low, and believe me, the company will definitely bring you very high returns in the future." Max said.
"Our company has a strong financial strength, and it is not unacceptable to value the dollar, but in terms of shares, 20 percent is a little too little, and we should at least have 30 percent of the shares." The person next to Xia Yu said.
"Thirty percent is impossible, it's too much, our company simply can't accept such investment conditions." Max's subordinate said.
"At a valuation of $1 billion, we invested $200 million, or 20 percent of the shares."
"That won't work! Valuations are at least in US dollars, with a maximum of 20 percent of the shares."
The two sides argued back and forth, and neither of them was willing to budge.
"If you want to own 30 percent, you're going to have to double the valuation."
"Yes, with a valuation of $2 billion, we can invest $600 million, or 30 percent of the shares."
"No, it's $3 billion, I'm talking about doubling the valuation is $3 billion, and you need to invest $900 million to get 30 percent of the shares."
"That won't work! It's too much, at most we invest a billion dollars, or 40 percent of the shares."
"What are you kidding, if you want to own 40 percent of the shares, you invest about two billion dollars."
"Two billion dollars, what are you kidding, in this case, isn't the valuation of your company going up by 100 million dollars?"
The two sides argued endlessly, and the words that came out really seemed more and more like a joke.
Max is very anxious, there is really no money in the company's account, if he misses this opportunity to attract investment, whether Truss has a chance to turn over and survive this most difficult period is a big problem.
How good are the company's development prospects? If you can't survive and die, everything will be in vain.
Xia Yu didn't care on the surface, but in her heart she said that she was not worried at all, it was also false, Chen Weidong asked her to take at least ten percent of the shares, and it was at a price of no more than 100 million US dollars.
But now it seems that it is too difficult to achieve the goal of investing $100 million to acquire a 10% stake in Truss.
What can be fought for now is to occupy as many shares as possible, because Chen Weidong also said that if he can occupy more shares, then the cost is higher, and he is also acceptable.
In short, the boss Chen Weidong is very optimistic about this company, and he must invest in this company called Truss in the future development prospects.
Investing $300 million and winning 20 percent of the shares, Xia Yu estimates that Chen Weidong will not have any opinions.
But with an investment of 2 billion US dollars, accounting for 40% of the shares, even if Truss is willing to accept it, Xia Yu will not dare to agree! Anyway, she felt that Chen Weidong would definitely not be able to pass that level.
And two billion US dollars, that is a lot of money, Xia Yu is still worried about Chen Weidong, can he come up with so much cash at once?
Of course, it is not possible to negotiate all the issues at once and negotiate a single result in such a major investment negotiation, which is a bit too unrealistic.
Chen Weidong received a call from Xia Yu, and after listening to her talk about the results of the negotiations between the two sides, he thought about it and said.
"Forty percent of the shares, I'm afraid this is a bit unrealistic, it's not that I can't take out two billion dollars, if Truss is really willing to give up forty percent of the shares, let alone two billion dollars, even if it's three billion dollars, I can take it."
"How do you talk about it? I don't know how to tell you, you can only grasp it yourself, I still say that if you can try to get as many shares as possible, and make a little more concessions in terms of funds, it is completely acceptable."
"Since the other party has proposed that you can sell up to 2% of the shares, then if you can take 30% of the other party's shares for 800 million US dollars, I will reward your entire team with 10 million yuan."
"If it's not more than $700 million, take 30 percent of the report, and I'll give 20 million yuan to reward your entire team."
"If you can take 30% of each other's shares for $600 million, I will reward your entire team with 30 million yuan."
