I Run a Gas Station in the Northwest

Chapter 1087: A new round of financing

Views:

The person Ma Yu led was Zhang Fan, who was said to be Ma Yu's cousin.

I have been doing border trade in Jiangqi Province and Mongolian provinces before, and I made a little money.

This time, I heard from Ma Yu that Xiaoer Xianshu was going to raise money, so he rushed over.

"Chen Mu, give me a chance. My cousin is very sincere here. You decide the valuation. He won't interfere in the company's management in the future. Everything is up to you..."

Ma Yu explained to Chen Mu, and her cousin stood aside and listened with a smile, without any comments.

The attitude of the two people is not so much for investing, as it is for sending money, which is very humble.

Chen Mu thought about it, and asked tentatively, "Did Brother Chenping hear something? That's why I asked you to come here and help me?"

These days, people from Xincheng Investment have been hearing from the sidelines, but they didn't say anything. They really followed Li Chenping's instructions and listened to Chen Mu.

Now that the financing is "stuck" because of the valuation, Li Chenping should have heard about it, maybe this is why he changed his ways to help.

Ma Yu shook his head quickly when he heard the words: "No, no, no, Chen Mu, that's not the case. This is our family's own decision, and it has nothing to do with elder brother."

"oh?"

Chen Mu looked at Ma Yu, then at Zhang Fan behind him, thoughtful.

He could hear that Ma Yu emphasized the words "our family", giving him a very obvious hint.

That is to say, Zhang Fan actually does not represent himself, but the entire Ma family.

This time, it was the Ma family who wanted to invest in Xiaoer Fresh Vegetables, just like the Li family's investment in Xincheng.

Before Chen Mu could speak, Ma Yu continued: "Chen Mu, you should also know that my father and my father-in-law are comrades-in-arms and good brothers for many years, and he trusts my father-in-law very much.

When they talked about you before, my father-in-law admired you so much that my dad was also very impressed with you.

This time when I heard about your financing, my dad thought that my cousin should come over, not to help you, but to invest in Xiaoer Fresh Vegetables.

Of course, this is not just investing in Xiaoer Xianshu, but also investing in you, because we all believe that you can do things well and succeed.

Therefore, I hope you can accept my cousin's investment. In the future, we will definitely stand firmly on your side just like Xincheng Investment. "

What else can I say

People have talked about this for the sake of it. If you don't agree, you will be a fool.

Therefore, Chen Mu brought people to the meeting the next day and announced the matter.

Now, the situation in the conference room is almost like the Chu River and the Han Dynasty, with clear distinctions.

Both Xincheng Investment and Yakashi Village are supported by Chen Mu, they are Chen Mu's hardcore supporters, and they will support Chen Mu no matter what he does.

On the other hand, CDBIC and Jinhui Investment are dissatisfied with the "inflated" valuation.

Li Lihua from Pinhan Investment didn't say much from the beginning to the end, but judging by her attitude, she was obviously on the side of SDIC and Jinhui Investment.

In the past few days, the two sides have been seeing each other like this, and no one will let the other take a step, which has led to the failure to talk about the matter.

If it was really impossible to reach an agreement, and the differences were so big, the two parties should have broken up long ago, and went back to their respective homes to find their own mothers.

But CDBIC and Jinhui Investment didn't do this, they just kept going like this, they refused to give an inch, and their words were decisive, but their bodies were very honest, and they always wanted to rub on Chen Mu's body.

Zhang Fan's sudden arrival disrupted the delicate balance in the meeting room.

CDBIC and Jinhui Investment found out that a family came from outside to snatch food.

And this family seems to be very powerful, but they don't know much about it.

It's not that the Raptors can't cross the river...

Looking at Zhang Fan, Zhu Zhen and Yu Ming looked at each other, and they couldn't help showing a look of worry in their eyes.

"A valuation of 3 billion, in fact, my bottom line, I can't let Xiaoer Xianshu accept a new round of financing lower than this valuation, if you really can't accept this valuation, then I can only find another company Entered.

Mr. Zhu and Mr. Yu, why don't you stop here today and think about it when you go back. We will continue the discussion tomorrow. "

Chen Mu saw that Zhu Zhen and Yu Ming were a little absent-minded in the next discussion, so he expressed his attitude firmly again, and ended the meeting early on his own initiative.

Zhu Zhen and Yu Ming could only lead the people away quickly.

When the two returned to the hotel, they made an appointment to sit together for the first time.

"Now, Lao Zhu, what do you think of this situation?"

Yu Ming asked first.

Zhu Zhen thought for a while and said, "Then I'll tell the truth, Mr. Yu, my valuation of 3 billion is actually acceptable. You should have seen from the beginning that my objection is purely for the sake of reconciling with Chen. It's just a bargain."

Yu Ming nodded thoughtfully: "Well, I can see it, Lao Zhu, tell me what you think."

Zhu Zhen said: "Based on what I know about Chen Mu, even if this valuation is a bit too high, a bit beyond our expectations, it is still acceptable..."

After a slight pause, he glanced at Yu Ming and said, "Mr. Yu, you should understand that compared with your Jinhui investment, the nature of our Guokai Investment... well, we invested in Xiaoer Fresh Vegetables and Muya Forestry. It is to support their development, which is our ultimate goal."

Yu Ming understood what Zhu Zhen meant.

SDIC has a strong air-conditioning color, and it is an important tool used by air-conditioners to support industrial development.

Therefore, they pay more attention to industrial development and the development of enterprises that have already invested.

On the contrary, in terms of interests, they are not like ordinary investors who put more emphasis on everything else.

Xiaoer Fresh Vegetables and Muya Forestry are exactly the companies that SDIC wants to support and develop, so their valuation of Chen Mu at 3 billion is actually acceptable.

Zhu Zhen went on to say: "But even if I accept such a valuation this time, there will be a new round of financing next time, that's why I acted so tough before. I don't want to get used to this kid, lest he come again next time." …Well, the valuations are getting higher and higher every time, and we can’t bear it.”

Yu Ming nodded: "That's true. Xiaoer Xianshu's financing round before the spin-off was already a bit high, and it's the same now. If it happens every time, we really can't bear it."

After a slight pause, he smiled bitterly again: "Actually, if I take back the three billion valuation this time, I will have to argue with the company's risk control side alone, let alone such a large investment. , I have to accept the review and inquiry of the company's senior management, and there are many things in it, which give me a lot of headaches."

Although Zhu Zhen is in CDB, the situation he faces is not the same as that of Yu Ming, but in fact, when he first entered the investment circle, he actually started as an ordinary investment company, and was recruited by CDC later. So he understood Yu Ming's situation very well.

"Mr. Yu, I understand what you said, but the situation is a little different now."

Zhu Zhen picked up the coffee at hand and took a sip before saying: "The valuation seems inflated to us, and there are still many people watching outside, and they don't think it's high. If we don't finalize the financing this time, maybe That kid Chen Mu really dared to lure other families into the arena, then the situation will become more complicated and beyond our control."

Yu Ming frowned, thinking about Zhu Zhen's words silently.

Zhu Zhen's worry was actually exactly what he was worried about now.

No one can tell who the new ones are.

Just like Zhang Fan this time, it is a bit "unknown" to them.

Unlike them, they are relatively large investment companies in China, which can be easily found out, and they also have channels to contact and communicate.

Before they left the meeting room, they had already sent messages to ask Zhang Fan to conduct a background check, but there was no news back for a while, so they could only wait.

For them, this is what they are most afraid of.

They don't understand the investor brought in by Chen Muxin at all. If this person is very powerful, it may affect the entire current situation, and even affect the normal operation of Xiaoer Fresh Vegetables.

Once the operation of Xiaoer Xianshu is affected due to financing, it will be a fatal blow to everyone, especially for those who have invested.

Therefore, an idea popped up in their minds at the same time, that is, they can't procrastinate like this any longer, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

"Tomorrow we will try to have a good talk with Chen Mu and try to get him to lower his valuation."

After thinking about it, Yu Ming said firmly.

Zhu Zhen asked: "What if Chen Mu just doesn't want to come down?"

Yu Ming smiled wryly when he heard the words: "Then there is no other way, we can only follow his valuation."

Zhu Zhen also smiled wryly: "Why do you think we were eaten to death by this kid?"

yeah, why

Yu Ming couldn't tell, he really wanted to walk away like Liu Ge.

But faintly, he also felt that if he really left like Liu Ge without hesitation, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life in the future.

So, no matter what, he has to find a way to achieve this financing.

At the same time, Yu Ming felt a little bad for Liu Ge's departure.

If it wasn't because Liu Ge left as soon as he came up, Chen Mu wouldn't have found Zhang Fan and killed them by surprise.

Moreover, he had already planned well. If Liu Ge was willing to join in, Xiaoer Xianshu's "board of directors" would have one more member of his own.

For the next refinancing matter, if he can unite CDC and Jinshan Capital and talk to Chen Mu together, the situation will definitely be better than this time.

But now everything has been shattered with Liu Ge's departure, but Liu Ge's departure has allowed an unknown person to come in, and the situation has suddenly become more complicated.

The next day, Zhu Zhen and Yu Ming found Chen Mu before the meeting, and had a cordial and friendly exchange.

The result of the exchange was that Chen Mu continued to firmly adhere to the valuation of 3 billion, and refused to back down even a single step. Zhu Zhen and Yu Ming had no choice but to back down.

Therefore, in the next meeting of the day, the valuation of 3 billion was passed, and the differences were no longer differences.

Among all the people, the only one who was a bit confused was Li Lihua.

She didn't say a word, but showed her attitude with her beautiful long legs.

She didn't expect Zhu Zhenhe and Yu Ming, who had vowed yesterday that they would not agree to a valuation of three billion yuan even if they died, would agree to it after one night. It was a bit unexpected for her.

After everyone agreed, she was the only one who didn't know how to respond, so she hurriedly took the phone and went out to call her boss to let him make up his mind.

Then, when she called back, she also agreed.

Huang Pinhan, who is also an investor, also thinks that this valuation is too high, but since CDBIC and Jinhui Investment have both agreed, he can only advance and retreat together.

To put it bluntly, I still don't want to miss such a good project as Xiaoer Fresh Vegetables.

Basically, all of them wanted to keep voting from the first round, because they were full of confidence in the project of Xiaoer Fresh Vegetables.

This is how the new round of financing was completed.

As for the details, we will continue to discuss them in detail.

But this is already a side issue. As long as the general direction is set, the rest is just a small matter of "you compromise a little there, and I will compromise a little here".

The news of the successful financing was sent back to the headquarters of Xiao Er Xian Vegetable, which immediately aroused cheers.

Especially this time, Chen Mu took out 2.5% of the equity and combined the 2.5% of the other companies to set aside a 5% equity pool. This news made people in the company even more excited.

Although this 5% seems nothing, but this time the valuation is 3 billion, which is equivalent to 150 million. Such a stake is quite a lot.

Moreover, the development momentum of Xiaoer Fresh Vegetables is just right. With this development, how far the valuation will rise in the next round of financing is simply exciting.

Therefore, everyone in Xiaoer Fresh Vegetables has gathered enough energy and is ready to continue working hard.

They all know in their hearts that the better the development of Xiaoer Xianshu in the future, the higher the valuation of the next round will be, and the more they can get.

If there comes a day when Xiaoer Fresh Vegetables can be listed, they will become rich overnight just like the wealth myths circulating on the Internet, and even the aunt who helps the company sweep the floor will become a millionaire.

Chen Mu was a little surprised to feel the enthusiasm of Xiaoer Xianshu's people, he didn't expect the effect of this thing to be so good.

It doesn't cost money to get people full of chicken blood, it's just magical.

This has greatly inspired him on the road to becoming an unscrupulous capitalist. He plans to build an equity pool for Muya Forestry in turn, mobilizing the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of everyone in Muya Forestry.

Moreover, he can't just let Xiaoer Xianshu after the spin-off benefit, while Muya Forestry can only watch.

As a person who is about to become a big capitalist, he must balance well so that those who follow him can eat meat and drink soup, so that they will work hard, work for him, and be exploited by him willingly.

The news of Xiao Er Xian Vegetable's new round of financing valuation of 3 billion is like a small stone thrown into a pool, and the waves are slowly rippling round and round.
