I have to say that Ma Youtian has a relatively accurate view of human nature.
If in the first few days after the introduction of strategic investment, Zhang Tao felt a little sorry for his former partners. After all, with the capital injection of Sea Lion Group, many mainstream evaluation agencies have already valued them at 30 billion.
700 million bought out shares valued at 15 billion, which is a huge loss no matter how you look at it.
However, it didn't take long for the regret to be replaced by envy.
That’s 700 million!
Although Modern Bicycle has billions of funds on its books, and with the promotion of Haishi Group, more new users have registered and paid deposits, this number is still increasing, but after all, it is the company's money and does not affect His bank card balance didn't even reach six figures.
What is the concept of 700 million
When you buy a house, you can buy it by the building. If you deposit it in the bank, you will be the father of the bank! Even if you don't do anything, just get a capital-guaranteed financial management with a comprehensive annual interest rate of 5%, you can still live and die for the rest of your life.
Why did you start your own business
Isn’t it just for financial freedom
As a result, the free ride partners had achieved financial freedom ahead of schedule, but the founder himself was still commuting to get off work by subway every day. Although he is not jealous of Mr. Hao who is kind to him, Zhang Tao is still somewhat unbalanced in his heart.
At this moment, he suddenly met someone.
The man claimed to be the secretary of the chairman of Youtian Network and said that their chairman Ma Youtian wanted to have a meal with him. Although he had no impression of the name Ma Youtian, Zhang Tao still went to the appointment based on the idea of having multiple friends and multiple paths.
In a luxuriously decorated restaurant in the city center, he met the boss, who was said to be worth billions.
"Haha, Mr. Zhang, it's a pleasure to meet you. I've wanted to meet you for a long time! I didn't expect you to be so young when I first met you. You are so young and promising!"
Zhang Tao smiled modestly, stretched out his hand to shake Mr. Ma's hand and said.
"Mr. Ma, you're welcome!"
"They are all words from the bottom of my heart, there is nothing polite about it," Ma Yotian smiled proudly and made an invitation gesture and said, "Please sit down quickly, let's sit down and chat while eating."
Although there were only two people eating, there were more than a dozen dishes on the table, and each dish looked expensive. Although he is worth billions, Zhang Tao was just an ordinary college counselor a few months ago, and his temperament has not kept up.
Ma Youtian had been secretly observing him while eating.
After considering the atmosphere and that the time was almost up, the local boss stopped his playful chat, brought the topic to the main topic, and said with a smile.
"... If you don't tell anyone secretly, Jiangcheng's shared bicycles, apart from your modern ones, are the most friendly among us!"
"I thought that since we are all fellow villagers, there is no need to fight to the death on our own territory. Why not join forces and conquer the market in other places!"
Looking at Ma Youtian chatting there, Zhang Tao felt a little confused, wondering what kind of medicine this guy had in his belly.
Although what he said is true, apart from Modern Bicycle, Youtian Bicycle is indeed the largest in Jiangcheng.
However, the small yellow bikes of modern bicycles already account for 70% of the market share, and the so-called number two in the industry is just the leader in the remaining 30% of the market share.
Join forces
Is this a joke
Can bronze and king be arranged together
This statement may be a bit exaggerated, but it is the truth.
Seemingly guessing that Zhang Tao was not interested in the prospect he described, Ma Youtian stopped beating around the bush and straightened his expression and continued.
"I won't beat around the bush and talk about nonsense. Let's be honest here. I want to buy some shares of Modern Bicycle from you. The price is easy to say. The price I can offer will definitely not be higher than Sea Lion Group offered a low price to Yunmeng Group!”
Very interesting proposal.
After hearing this sentence, Zhang Tao couldn't help but smile.
“Do you think I’d sell to a competitor?”
Even if they are only nominal competitors.
Even if Zhang Tao doesn't take Youtian Bicycle seriously at all, putting the other party on the board of directors of his company is another matter. Among other things, according to Xia State law, as long as a company holds 1% of the shares, it can apply for an audit.
Allowing competitors to control the financial trends of one's own company is simply making fun of the interests of all shareholders.
Maybe some people don't care, but they can't do it.
Ma Yotian's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled lightly and continued: "I can hold shares in the name of the joint venture, without joining your management or board of directors, just as an investor... As an aside, the company's valuation No matter how high the value is, it is still a valuation. The company is so big and has solved so many jobs. Doesn’t Mr. Zhang want to improve his life? "
This sentence touched Zhang Tao's heart, so much so that he fell into silence.
I have to say, this proposal is indeed very tempting.
As long as you pay a small amount of shares, you can buy a car or a house and live the life you dreamed of before. In particular, the example of Yunmeng Group was right in front of him, making it difficult for him not to be tempted.
"... I can only transfer 5% of the shares. This is an agreement between me and the major shareholders." Zhang Tao's Adam's apple moved slightly, and Zhang Tao, who had been silent for a long time, raised his head and said, "Any more will have to be approved by the board of directors."
Although this number was lower than expected, Ma Youtian gritted his teeth and continued without changing his expression.
"What's your quote?"
"Two hundred million."
Two hundred million? !
Upon hearing this number, Ma Youtian almost bulged his eyes and said immediately.
"Are you kidding?! Two hundred million?! Do you know that valuation is valuation? Before you go public, this thing is just a number and cannot be converted into cash at all!"
Zhang Tao stood up silently.
To be honest, he was hesitant about whether to sell part of his shares to improve his life.
But he didn't expect that the potential "buyer" would react so much after hearing his offer. It was obvious that he didn't seem to be able to offer much money. The idea that had just popped up in his mind was immediately given up. .
Seeing that Zhang Tao was not going to talk anymore, Ma Youtian glared and stretched out his hand.
"100 million! If you are willing to nod, we can sign the contract today, and I will pay you a deposit of 10 million on the spot! Complete the industrial and commercial registration tomorrow, and the balance will be received immediately!"
One hundred million!
And a deposit of 10 million was given on the spot...
Zhang Tao obviously hesitated.
He squeezed his sweaty palms and gritted his teeth.
"One hundred and fifty million, this is my bottom line."
Ma Youtian said with wide eyes.
"Impossible! This offer is too outrageous! Sea Lion Group bought 50% of Yunmeng Group's shares for 700 million yuan. After calculating 5%, it is worth 70 million yuan! I paid a premium of 100 million yuan, don't you think Am I already very sincere?"
Zhang Tao refused to give in and continued to speak.
"It is precisely because of Hiace Group that we are now able to obtain a valuation of 30 billion. If you put it this way, I think 150 million is still cheap."
"One hundred and forty million!"
Looking at Ma Youtian with red eyes, Zhang Tao was also fighting between heaven and man in his heart.
Your chance to become a billionaire is now!
And what he paid was only 5% of the shares...
After all, he lost to Cash. His shoulders relaxed, he nodded, and said in a very light voice.
"make a deal."
Ma Youtian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his back was soaked with sweat unknowingly.
With a relaxed smile on his face, he stretched out his right hand.
"Deal... The contract is ready and will be sent to you for review shortly."
Zhang Tao shook his hand.
"I'll have my lawyer look at it before I sign it."
Ma Youtian tried his best not to look so happy and said happily.
"No problem! Wish us a happy cooperation!"
