Chapter 290 Want more
Brother Xiaoma everyone is considered to be in good spirits when it comes to happy events.
In the end, they decided that as long as the polar bear company can give better conditions than the South African MIH company, then promise the polar bear.
After all, the polar bears are stronger than the two companies.
This is also very beneficial to Penguin.
Because of this, the Polar Bear Company will not easily liquidate its shares, and it is more inclined to be a cornerstone investor of Penguin!
In the future, when the Penguin side needs to expand again and needs financing, there may be no need to look for investment companies everywhere, and the polar bear can continue to provide strong financial support!
Of course, "better conditions" are also required.
First, Brother Ma hopes that the polar bear will give a higher valuation!
Although the MIH of South Africa gave Penguin a valuation of US$60 million on the surface, when they actually invested, they did not give it according to this valuation.
is only willing to pay 14 million US dollars to buy 35% of the shares, and it is the priority to buy 25% of the shares in the hands of Hong Kong Xiaochaoren.
Brother Xiaoma and other company founders can only sell 10% of the shares in total.
The other $6 million is used for stock expansion financing, which requires Brother Ma and the others to contribute equally according to the proportion of shares...
If you do this calculation, you may spit out the money as soon as you get it!
Even the shares have to be diluted a lot.
According to the South African MIH, the global Internet is now experiencing a cold winter, and it is impossible to give investments based on valuations, and there must be a certain degree of "discount".
Of course, if there is no polar bear investment, the investment plan given by MIH has far exceeded the expectations of Xiaoma and the others!
Even if they only pay six million dollars and take 50% of the company's shares, they are willing...
Second, Brother Ma hopes that polar bears can be more kind.
Don't go around like MIH in South Africa, and as a result, people like yourself gave up a lot of shares, but couldn't get much cash.
Everyone has been in business for a few years. To be honest, I haven't seen much money yet. Who doesn't want to spend millions of dollars to improve their lives...
After the discussion, everyone agreed with Xiao Ma's opinion.
When you decide to negotiate in the afternoon, just follow this!
The time soon came to two o'clock in the afternoon.
Vice President Zhang's cell phone rang, he glanced at it, and said happily, "Come here! It's that Milner who called."
"Hurry up and pick it up." Brother Ma also said nervously.
After getting on the phone, Vice President Zhang said a few words and then hung up the phone and reported to everyone: "The polar bear people will be downstairs immediately, and their boss is here!"
"Let's go, let's go downstairs to meet the distinguished guests." Brother Xiao Ma said in a hurry.
Everyone got up, walked out of the conference room together, and came down to the office building, ready to welcome the arrival of the polar bears.
In Pengcheng at the end of August, the weather is extremely hot.
I just stood at the door of the building for a few minutes, everyone was sweating, but I can't care about this now.
Looking eagerly, Brother Xiao Ma suddenly lit up and reminded everyone, "They should be here, everyone should be more energetic!"
I saw two old-fashioned black Benzes driving over one after the other.
Sure enough, the two cars drove to the front of the building and stopped. With the sound of the doors opening and closing, bald Milner and a few people got out of the car.
Brother Xiao Ma saw at a glance that young man who was surrounded by Milner and others like the stars and the moon!
He was a little dumbfounded.
Because that young man not only looks young, but also is not the old Maozi he imagined.
It turned out to be a black-haired and black-eyed...Chinese?
He was still in a daze, Milner took two quick steps forward and introduced them: "Mr. Ma, President Zhang, this is Mr. Mikhail, the president of our Polar Bear Investment. Oh, speaking of which he is also Chinese-Russian. As for people, they can speak Chinese, so it will be more convenient for everyone to communicate in the future, haha.
Wang Ye naturally also saw Brother Ma, although he is still the "young" brother, but the one with fair skin, gentleness, and glasses doesn't look much different from the one ten years later.
He smiled and greeted in Mandarin: "Mr. Ma, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Brother Xiao Ma was shocked and came back to his senses, with a smile on his face: "Hello, Mr. Mikhail, welcome, I didn't expect you to speak Chinese so well."
Everyone exchanged a few words, the weather is too hot outside, it is really not the place to talk.
Under the leadership of Xiao Ma, everyone walked into the office building.
Through this office building, we can also see that the current situation of Penguin is indeed not very good.
The old office building is full of fish and dragons. There are all kinds of small workers who move goods. There are no regular passenger elevators. There are only two huge freight elevators, which make an abnormal noise when running...
Obviously, Brother Xiao Ma also felt a little embarrassed on his face, so he smiled shyly: "The company plans to move after financing, and now I will deal with it for a while."
Wang Ye didn't care, and said casually: "Many great companies started out in the garage, such as Microsoft, Apple, etc. I believe that the Penguin company in the future, when looking back on the current predicament, may be a good talk. "
Hearing this, Brother Ma was overjoyed!
Obviously, this shows that Mr. Mikhail is very optimistic about Penguin, and even compares Penguin with Microsoft and Apple!
After reaching the large conference room, everyone sat down.
The large conference table formed by splicing several flat tables is also very simple.
The founders of the Penguin Company and the representatives of the Polar Bear Company sat on both sides of the conference table.
Brother Ma first represented the Penguin Company, expressed a welcome, and then went to the main topic.
He said sternly: "Penguin's current situation, there is nothing to hide, it is indeed difficult. However, our company is currently the No. 1 Internet instant messaging software in mainland China, whether it is the number of users or the share, there is no dispute. the first place!
is based on this factor, so the South African MIH company has given a good investment plan.
Originally, the two sides of us had almost talked about it, and as a result, the Polar Bear Company also began to contact us.
I hope today that both of us can be frank and sincere.
strive to reach a mutually satisfactory solution as soon as possible.
Otherwise, we may have to accept MIH's offer. "
His remarks are well-founded and soft with hard!
That means, you don't want to take advantage of the fire!
Although our penguin life is relatively difficult, the future is still bright, otherwise you will not come to invest eagerly.
is not the future of penguins...
