Chapter 143: It's so cool to be rich

Li Zhenyu raised his hand, and so did the others.

Including Lu Rong.

Whether you can fight or not depends on your strength, but if you don't fight, you have a problem with your attitude.

Lu Rong didn't want to go back, and he would be held accountable for it.

Seeing that everyone was interested in increasing the size, Xiaozha showed a little smugness.

Young and crazy, it should be like this!

Since no one has withdrawn, the next thing is naturally the one with the highest price.

Li Zhenyu stared at the blank paper in front of him, thinking about what price should be appropriate?

Each person only has one chance to bid, and if there is less, they will be cut off, and more ......

How much is more?

"BOSS, the price increase should not exceed 10 million."

Claire believes that half of the shares will not exceed this premium, and the total price should be around 260 million.

If you are not at ease, you can add 1~2 million more.

But Li Zhenyu felt that this price was not very safe.

While others judge Facebook's value in the present, only Mr. Lee knows how much its market value will be in the future.

If you look at the whole picture in the future, you won't feel that 260 million is a safe number.

Li Zhenyu didn't know how much others would give, he just asked himself a question in his heart.

Which one does he want more, money or shares?

In fact, when I hesitated, I already had the answer.

Thinking of this, Li Zhenyu did not hesitate to write down a number on the paper.

Claire, who had been observing, couldn't help but widen her eyes.

But before she could say anything, Li Zhenyu had already handed over the folded note.

Claire reached out to grab it, but put her hand down halfway through.

Li Zhenyu doesn't like others to interfere with his decisions, and he hates Lao Mao's free and loose personality.

So, it's better not to have too much to do with yourself.

"Goldman Sachs, 6 percent of the shares bid 165 million."

Turn the note over and face the crowd so that everyone participating in the bidding can read it clearly.

Then he put it back on the table and opened the next one.

At this time, Claire's expression was very strange, some were happy, some were puzzled, and more were lost and decadent.

It seems that she is still suitable to be a lawyer, and the mind of a businessman is too difficult to guess.

Those who participated in the auction were counted as one, and they did not tell the truth from the beginning.

The expressions and movements are all acting skills, without any emotion.

6……

Sensing the condensation of his gaze, Lu Rong turned his head to look at Li Zhenyu on the side, his eyes were facing each other, his smiling eyes showed a little apology, and he bowed his head slightly to greet him.

Li Zhenyu nodded in response, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, 'His grandmother's, there really isn't a good thing!' ’

Lu Rong was afraid that he had already received the news before he came.

I learned that I couldn't eat the quota with my own strength, so I found a good collaborator early.

As for why he came to woo himself again, Li Zhenyu had two guesses, either he wanted to paralyze him, or he wanted to change to a collaborator with better 'control'.

Joining her in the bidding was Geode Capital from Boston.

Founded in 2001, less than 7 years ago, Dadi Capital manages a huge amount of more than $500 billion.

Its source of funds and shareholders behind it are quite mysterious, and Li Zhenyu suspects that it is related to Boston and the Kennedy family.

Looking at Lu Rong's performance, she should have an understanding of this new capital.

State Street bid $153 million, Big Horn bid $140 million, and the original six-player competition became 2:2:1:1.

Li Zhenyu and Daofu became the only two lonely people.

The other four companies joined forces in pairs to win half of the shares.

There was only one last note left on the table, and the assistant picked it up and opened it, his eyes instantly widened, and he looked back at his boss at a loss.

Xiao Zha frowned, got up and moved forward: "Is there any problem?" ”

The assistant stopped talking, and simply handed him the note.

Looking down, Zach's eyes widened with surprise on his face.

"Universal investment, 350 million."

Goldman Sachs bid 165 million, and below is State Street's 153 million, and the two add up to only 318 million.

Li Zhenyu's bid was $32 million higher than the highest price.

The price was beyond everyone's expectations, and no one would have thought that anyone would offer such a high price.

Is he crazy?

At the same time, another question came to mind, 'He wants to be his own.'" ’

$350 million, take 1.2% of Facebook's shares, and kick everyone else out.

"Mark, he can't do that."

Dadi Capital protested, saying that there were two places.

Lu Rong was a little helpless, he still underestimated his courage.

$350 million, how dare he......

But when he thought of the cash flow he could use, Lu Rong could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

In this wave, the loss is not unjust!

"Goldman Sachs can help Facebook grow better."

Lu Rong threw the last card, and investors are not just rich.

Even if it is a franchise brand, the brand's requirements for franchisees will also include a requirement of 'having a certain social status and influence in the local area'.

"Universal investment will help Facebook expand into the Asian market."

Whether it can be done or not, the cowhide must be blown full first.

South Korea is also one of the member countries of Asia, and rounding off, opening the South Korean market is not the same as opening up the Asian market.

No problem!

This time it was Xiaozha's turn to make a difficulty, and it was very tempting for him to open up overseas markets.

He's just not sure, is the time right now?

"Sorry, I need some time."

Politely saluting everyone, Zach hurried through the hallway into the office.

The transparent glass wall could not block everyone's view, and it was clear that he was dialing a certain number and discussing with someone on the phone.

Lu Rong came to him again, "What do you think he will choose?" ”

"This time, I won."

"You're so confident?"

"It's not faith, who can resist the temptation to make an extra 32 million."

Li Zhenyu is not so narcissistic as to think that he can kill both men and women.

Well, fencing is a sport that should be left to people with moles.

He simply believes that the charm of money will overwhelm the other end of the scale.

What's more, he also added a feather to it (to develop the Asian market).

"Will you blame me?" Lu Rong had tried his best to hide it, and there was still trembling in his voice.

Li Zhenyu tilted his head, full of doubts: "Why?" ”

What's wrong with each his own master, each his own duty?

Do you still expect to hook your fingers, and Lu Rong will sell Goldman Sachs's family to himself.

If she really did this, Li Zhenyu really wouldn't dare to use her.

If he can sell Goldman Sachs today, he can sell himself tomorrow, and he will not gamble on this question of probability.

The explanation for 'super cohesion' is that it is difficult to betray, not die-hard.

"Thank you, your invitation is still counting?"

"Of course."

"I promised......"

Lu Rong smiled and asked, "In the future, please ask the boss for more advice." ”

"Yes." Li Zhenyu is a pun.

Zach was away for 15 minutes, and the hope in everyone's hearts was getting smaller and smaller.

It's best to be able to get a stake, and if not, who should they choose next?

Facebook, just a little more likely to succeed than others.

Without it, there will be other projects, and no one will stumble on one project.

Actually, they didn't understand Lee Jin-woo's offer.

Even if he is optimistic about Facebook, the premium will be controlled at 20 percent, and his offer is far more than that.

At a staggering 41 percent, did he collude with Zach to take the opportunity to raise Facebook's valuation again for the greater good?

If not, then he behaves like a layman entirely.

"In purely investment terms, I'm really a layman."

Regarding the question in Lu Rong's heart, Li Zhenyu said bluntly: "Fancy a project, give the price in your heart...... That's it. ”

"What if the price is far more than it is worth?"

"How much is more, how little is too little, a good investment can bring a steady stream of returns, influence, power and status."

"You can't be too shrewd, and you shouldn't be greedy. I want it, and it's not right. ”

Lu Rong looked at him with a little more uncertain emotion: "Sure enough, successful people can't be looked at with common sense." ”

Li Zhenyu rolled his eyes in his heart, only the theory of success, rich people is fragrant, right!

Eh, it's really cool to be a rich man.

At 23 minutes, Zach returned to the open meeting room, "Just now, I had a conference call with management, and the result of the discussion was...... Congratulations, Lee. ”

Under the helpless or annoyed gaze of everyone, Li Zhenyu stood up elegantly and applauded everyone: "Thank you, thank you......"

The loudspeaker stood up suddenly, brushed his sparse hair, which was always flowing, like a proud Gallic chicken, and strode out.

When he passed by Li Zhenyu's side, a subtle warning came into his ears: "Don't pester my daughter, otherwise you will get yourself into big trouble." ”
