Chapter 476: Someone Wants to Send Money
Cheng Yu glanced at his mobile phone, and it was Morris calling.
Cheng Yu stood up and walked out while answering the phone.
"Hey, Maurice, why did you remember to call me?"
"Hey, Cheng, what did you say, we are classmates, is there anything wrong with me calling you?"
Cheng Yu laughed and said, "Of course it's okay to call, but it's twelve o'clock in the middle of the night in Los Angeles, right?"
Morris also smiled, and he said: "We had a party in the evening, and we just finished the party, and we talked about something during the dinner, and Hawkins and a few of them, they wanted to entrust me to tell you something. ”
Cheng Yu said in his heart, is this love debt repaid so quickly?
But people did help him, and Cheng Yu was not the kind of person who didn't know how to repay, so he said: "Oh, what's the matter, tell me about it." ”
"You know, Hawkins, Cloten, Francis and Anthony, the five of us have always had a good relationship. ”
Cheng Yu scolded with a smile: "Okay, you don't need to explain the antecedents, just talk about things." ”
"We made a small investment before, and we did it together, and that was not long after we entered the school......"
Cheng Yu said in his heart, I am also short of money here, so you won't be looking for me to borrow money, right?
However, Xue Changyun's investment here is nine out of ten to Huang, and Cheng Yu does have a hundred million in his hand, which is close to 20 million US dollars.
And even if these people invest in buying and selling short, it is estimated that there is a gap of several million, anyway, it is not a time period to pick, and the backgrounds of several people are there, Cheng Yu really has no need to worry too much.
"There's no problem, I can take out as many gaps as there are, no more than 10 million. ”
Morris was visibly stunned when he heard this, and then burst into laughter, unable to say a word for half a day, even accompanied by a cough caused by uneven breathing.
Cheng Yu was inexplicable on the other end of the phone, and said in his heart What's wrong with this guy? Even if I promise to borrow money, I don't have to be happy like this, right?
"Hey, Maurice, what's wrong with you?"
Morris laughed for a while before finally stopping, still twitching on the other end of the line.
"Although it was misunderstood by you, I have to say that this misunderstanding is quite happy. ”
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Even if you don't ask me to borrow money, then you don't need to laugh like this." Besides, if you come up and tell me about the investment yourself, I must think that you have failed to invest. ”
Morris smiled again and said, "You listen to me first." Yes, three years ago, the five of us partnered to invest in a company, which can be regarded as an angel investment, with a total of more than 500,000 US dollars, and one person took 100,000 yuan. Now, the company's market value is growing well, and now they want to accept Oracle's wholly-owned acquisition of them, so they come to us to discuss it, hoping that we will accept their acquisition. ”
"So, you all have a lot of cash in your hands now...... Cheng Yu immediately hit the idea on these people, although the overall rate of return is not as high as the venture capital they want to cash out now, but it is stable, and the profit of three times in two years is also very good.
"Yes, after the sale, according to the shares we got from the original investment, they have raised two rounds of capital in the past three years, and we have not pursued the investment, and after dilution, the shares are probably in ......"
"Hey, I'm a genius who graduated from business school in three years, this kind of simple common sense, you don't need to tell me in detail!"
Morris laughed and said, "Okay, okay, anyway, our current stake is 8.1 percent, and according to the purchase price given to them by Oracle, we can get about 40 million dollars." ”
"40 million ......" Cheng Yu simply converted, that is, more than 250 million soft girl coins.
If you can persuade them to give this money to themselves for investment, you can not charge their commission, because then Cheng Yu does not have to invest all of his own money in this project, but can keep a part of it to deal with some of the company's venture capital projects in the next two years.
"But Francis has some problems on his side, his family has been having problems with the cash flow recently, and he doesn't want to give this money to his family, so he wants to borrow our hand and use this money for other purposes. ”
Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that he took the initiative to come to the door to put the money here for me.
But if there is a problem with his family's funds, Francis refuses to help, which seems a bit unreasonable.
"Uh...... Let's not talk about anything else, Francis has a problem with his family's funds, and he won't help?"
Morris sighed and said, "If it's just a gap of a few million, or even a little higher, a thousand, that's it."
Francis would have been able to cope with each of us if he had asked us to borrow a million or so each.
But the problem is that his family's current situation is obviously beyond their means, and they still want to participate in a big project, and their family's wishful thinking is to let Francis convince us to lend them the funds together, and then give us an annualized rate of 20% return.
The time of occupation of this fund should reach more than three years. ”
When Cheng Yu heard this, he frowned and said, "Since it is something that is beyond his strength, is it a bit hasty to do it?" So, Francis's family actually did not have financial problems in the first place, it was completely caused by this project?"
As you know, the economy of the United States has been sluggish in recent years, and its family is a traditional industry, and it has been hit harder, so it wants to find another way.
But the problem is that if it is really a good project, even if we invest with them, it is a project with an annualized rate of less than 30%, excluding various taxes and fees, in fact, it is more than 20% of the income a year.
The interest given to us by their family is not a trick, but this rate of return really makes us disagree. ”
Cheng Yu smiled, since this was the case, then there was no need for him to think about Francis's family.
"So, you want to put the money in my company and let me help you make the investment?"
"There is no way, the funds are not very much, but if you stay in the United States to invest, the gambling is vision, and for a while, it is really not easy to find a suitable project to put all the funds into it.
But as long as we have money in our hands, Francis will inevitably be pursued by his family.
We have no choice but to make a decision to transfer the shares to your company before the acquisition is completed, so that you can directly contact Oracle and that company.
Once the acquisition is completed, the funds will be credited directly to your company's account.
In this way, there is nothing his family can do. ”
"You guys are so reassuring to me, that's 40 million dollars!"
Morris smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, we are also forced to have no way, we can't watch Francis continue to be so entangled."
As for you, of course we trust, but 40 million is indeed not a small number.
But at this moment, we don't have a choice, even if it's risky.
Your family is worth tens of billions anyway, I think, you won't even cheat our classmates' money. ”
Cheng Yu laughed out loud and said, "Don't say it, I really have a project here, and I was worried about the funds." Luckily, you hit the door yourself. ”
"Huh, such a coincidence?"
Cheng Yu could hear that Morris's voice was already full of doubts, after all, such a large amount of money and such a coincidental thing could not help but make people suspicious.
But after all, he took the initiative to find Cheng Yu, and he also wanted to hand over the funds to Cheng Yu, and Morris was just a little confused, which did not shake his trust in Cheng Yu.
"It's such a coincidence.
I'm talking to a friend about this, and we're both struggling with limited funds.
On our side, there is a company that needs 500 million soft sister coins, close to 80 million US dollars.
But they are not willing to dilute even a little bit of the company's shares, the 500 million can only be used as a project investment, and the project will be paid dividends after the completion of the project two years later.
Because it is a government-related project, it is relatively safe in all aspects.
The final profit will not be too high, and we estimate that it will be around 100% profit in a year.
If the situation is better, it is possible to double every year for two years. ”
Morris said: "In other words, two years of long-term investment, the final profit is two to three times?"
"Yes, that's pretty much it. If you need further information, I can have it ready and send it to you right away. ”
"In other words, if we provide this money to you, we will have to stay in this project for two years?"
"This is a prerequisite. ”
"That's actually no different from borrowing. Morris pondered for a moment, a slight hesitation between his words.
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Our company, as your investment client, I can give you a promise of at least 100% annual return, and it is no problem to write it into the contract."
If, after two years, this money cannot be turned into 120 million US dollars, our company will give you a full cover and waive all your commission fees.
However, if it is exceeded, the commission should be collected, and the excess profits, our company will also carry out a certain percentage of dividends. ”
When Morris heard this, he laughed again.
"Haha, it seems that you are very confident in this investment. ”
"Actually, to be honest, I don't know much more about this project than you do at the moment. I believe in my friend, and I believe in his promises. At the same time, I am more confident in our country's government engineering projects......"
"Well, when it comes to the strength of the government, China is definitely the best in the world now. With the state backing me, I have no reason not to believe you. ”
"But after all, it's a matter for the five of you, so my suggestion is for the five of you to discuss, if you can trust me, when will Oracle complete the acquisition of that company and transfer the funds to my company's account, when will I bring the contract to you.
If I need the details of that project, I can have them ready.
But the speed has to be fast, and the project here, their need for funds is more urgent, and it takes about two or three days to be determined. ”
Morris was taken aback and said, "So fast? It will take at least a month or so for Oracle to complete the acquisition." ”
"You don't have to worry about this, as long as you promise me, I can start investing in this project.
Our investment will also be injected in three phases, one every two months, and the last one will not be injected until four months later.
And the first instalment of funds, my friend and I, will pay in advance. ”
Morris groaned a little and said, "Okay, I'll discuss with them and get back to you as soon as possible." As for those materials, there is no need to prepare.
If we really plan to give you the funds, we don't have time to investigate the background of the information.
What's more, we don't know anything about the situation of your government, and when we get the information, we are afraid that we will find it incomprehensible in many places. ”
"It's up to you, in short, if you decide to give me this money, it will be to entrust my company to invest for at least two years.
Of course, this time may be slightly longer, after all, it involves the settlement of funds.
The longest will not exceed three years, our company as a guarantee, two years to ensure at least 100% annual profits, two years after at least the principal.
I'll give you the cover in the name of the company. ”
Morris immediately said, "Okay, then let's do it first, I'll discuss it with them." ”
Cheng Yu hung up the phone and returned to the private room with a smile.
Seeing Cheng Yu's happy face, Xue Changyun asked, "What's the matter, someone sent you money?"
"Haha, it's not for me to send money, but for you. ”
"Huh, what's the situation?"
Cheng Yu briefly talked about the matter on Morris's side, and Xue Changyun also laughed.
"Hahaha, do you want to be so coincidental? I was worried that the funds could not be solved, and someone handed me a pillow when I fell asleep. 40 million US dollars, 2.5 2.6, you only need to take 100 million out yourself, and we will do it. ”
Cheng Yu nodded slowly and said, "Come on, basically there won't be any problems, you can call your ex-girlfriend to ......flatter!"
Xue Changyun rolled his eyes, but he still took out his mobile phone very obediently.
didn't call, maybe he felt that making a phone call would inevitably be ridiculed by Cheng Yu, which would not be good if the other party heard it.
sent a WeChat message to the ex-girlfriend named Xiaoman, and the other party quickly replied, just a simple question mark, plus an exclamation mark, which meant asking Xue Changyun if he was confirming.
Xue Changyun sent a voice message and said, "Don't worry, if you don't confirm that I dare to make such a joke with you?" I will personally come up with 150 million, and my friend's investment company will be responsible for the remaining 350 million." ”
This time, Xiao Man replied to Xue Changyun: "What friend, is it reliable?"
"Cheng Guangnian's son. ”
"Good. ”
Seeing the words sent by Xue Changyun, Xiao Man no longer had any doubts.
Although she doesn't know anything about Cheng Yu, the three words Cheng Guangnian still have a considerable deterrent effect.
Moreover, since Xue Changyun is so full of words, it means that he knows enough about Cheng Yu, and Xiao Man knows Xue Changyun enough, which is enough.
This time, the reason why she asked Xue Changyun to cooperate, or help, was also because she knew that it was not realistic for Xue Changyun to come up with 500 million yuan in cash by himself, but Xue Changyun had some connections with the Du Group. She actually counted on Xue Changyun to persuade the Du Group to participate in this investment.
Yes, Xiao Man's reply was also concise and to the point, and after Xue Changyun saw it, he also knew that she must be busy, so he stopped being long-winded.
After a while, Xue Changyun's phone rang, he looked down and said, "Xiao Man." Then he stood up and walked quickly towards the door, this call must not be made in front of Cheng Yu, otherwise, he will definitely be ridiculed to death by Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu didn't mind, picked up the tea at hand and drank it slowly.
Xue Changyun arrived at the door, then he connected the phone, and said in an extremely gentle tone: "Xiaoman, was you in a meeting just now?"
On the other end of the phone, there was a very cold female voice: "You know that I am in a meeting, and you still send a voice?"
"Didn't I realize you might be in a meeting until I sent it, otherwise you should have replied. ”
"Don't talk about that. What do you mean is that Cheng Guangnian plans to invest in this project for me? He can't be a predator without strings attached, right?"
Xue Changyun hurriedly said: "No, no, no, this matter has nothing to do with Cheng Guangnian, it is his son-in-law, Cheng Yu, his own business." Cheng Yu returned to China last year, and he has an investment company under his name, and what he has done this year is also quite famous in the industry. I'll tell him about you......"
"Stop, you, who would want to invest money in a project like mine? Compared with other investments, the rate of return on my project is obviously too low, and it takes up too much money and takes too long. No way!"
It seems that Xiao Man is a very decisive person, unless Xue Changyun comes up with a perfect explanation, she doesn't believe that Cheng Yu will be so cheap to her at all.
"Alas, didn't I tell him about our relationship? Cheng Yu is a good person, and he just happened to have such money in his hand, so he used it to help us. ”
"What is the relationship between the two of us?" Xiao Man did not give face at all.
"Uh...... Friend, friend, I told him we were friends. ”
"Xue Changyun, did you tell others that I was your ex-girlfriend again?"
"Hehe......" Xue Changyun was a little embarrassed.
"What do you say about you? If you can be my ex-boyfriend, then I can't have thirty or fifty ex-boyfriends behind me? I have been rejected for pursuing me, is it my ex-boyfriend?" Xiao Man raised her voice suddenly, obviously, she was very dissatisfied with Xue Changyun's statement.
Xue Changyun persuaded with good words: "Isn't this to let him spare no effort to help, if I want me to say that we are just ordinary friends, why should people help with this." Xiaoman, don't be angry. ”
"I'm too lazy to tell you. ”
"So ...... money?"
"To tell you the truth, I really want to say no...... However, the whole company is waiting for this money...... Xue Changyun, Xue Changyun, you really gave me a big problem. ”
Xue Changyun smiled and said, "Then I'll let Cheng Yu go to Bao'an?" I have some conditions, and my father's affairs are inconvenient to leave for the time being. ”
"Hmm. ”
"But seriously, Xiaoman, I still don't understand, why do you insist on refusing to take out the shares as collateral?"
"You don't know how many people covet our company's shares, once I take it out, those people dare to use all means to make this project yellow, and then take away my shares logically. I'm in this company, but I changed my surname. ”
"This is the company's project, and if you want to mortgage it, everyone will share the share mortgage, so it's impossible to use your shares as collateral, right?"
Xiao Man sneered: "There are several shareholders who are resolutely opposed to launching this project, and the shares in their hands have reached forty percent. I don't know what these people want? Let's put it this way, I am now a controlling shareholder, but I have 50 percent of the shares in my hand, and as long as there is a slight mistake, the controlling shareholder will no longer be me. You don't know who the controlling person will be, right?"
Xue Changyun was silent.
