"No, no, it's all about bargaining. There's nothing wrong with trying to fight for your company's interests. I can understand it."
Chen Mu behaved gentle and elegant, very successful entrepreneurial style, only those who are familiar with his character know that he is suffocating bad water at this time and does not know what he wants to do.
"Thank you Mr. Chen for your understanding."
Of course, Zhang Hongyu is not a person who is familiar with Chen Mu's character. He and Chen Mu have only met once at most, so they don't know much about it.
Hearing Chen Mu's words, he felt very comfortable right away. Before coming here, he was worried that he would be hated by Chen Mu because the previous negotiation failed. Now it seems that this young man is still very good.
"Mr. Zhang, you are too polite, don't say thank you, what is there to thank you for?"
While speaking politely, Chen Mu poured water for several people on the other side.
In addition to Zhang Hongyu and Yu Ming, there were three other people in the other party's line. They all seemed to be professional tools. They all came up with professional smiles on their faces and didn't talk much. They probably followed Yu Ming and Zhang Hongyu's lead.
Chen Mu walked around and poured everyone a glass of water, then sat down, looked at the guests, and asked, "Since you are here to discuss investment, we have wasted time going around in circles, let's get straight to the point , What kind of investment plan have you prepared?"
Zhang Hongyu glanced at Yu Ming, Yu Ming nodded with a smile, and then Zhang Hongyu continued: "Mr. Chen, the last time I came here, you proposed that we invest one billion yuan to obtain 10% of the shares of your Muya Forestry. I think this time we can talk around this condition, what do you think?"
In the company's internal meeting before, Zhang Hongyu stated the conditions proposed by Chen Mu. Everyone who attended the meeting felt that Chen Mu was greedy.
Such conditions are too harsh, and no results will be obtained in front of any investor.
However, after discussing at the meeting, they finally decided to try their best to facilitate this investment, because they are looking at Chen Mu, investing in Muya may not be worth the valuation, but investing in Chen Mu is worth it.
Chen Mu has made such a big name at such a young age. If he continues to develop like this, his future will definitely be limitless.
Even if investing in Muya does not make money, they still want to take this opportunity to establish a good cooperative relationship with Chen Mu, and there may be other opportunities in the future.
Therefore, this is their itinerary this time.
In their expectation, if Jinhui Investment can agree to give such a valuation, Chen Mu should be grateful to agree to it...
But to Zhang Hongyu's surprise, Chen Mu pondered for a while, and said solemnly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, the previous condition is no longer within my consideration... Well, I'm afraid yours I will not accept the proposal."
Zhang Hongyu was taken aback for a moment, unable to react.
Yu Ming beside him was also a little surprised, but then he frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something.
After Zhang Hongyu came back to his senses, he glanced at Yu Ming for the first time, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you mean by this? You put forward this condition before, and our company can basically agree to it." Conditions, as long as we both discuss some cooperation details, we can sign the contract, do you think there is anything inappropriate?"
Chen Mu shook his head and said: "This condition is indeed what I proposed before, but time has passed and many things have changed, so if you want to invest in our Muya Forestry, you cannot follow this condition."
"ah?"
Zhang Hongyu couldn't help but frowned, seeing that Chen Mu didn't speak immediately.
He felt that he had met the most hated kind of entrepreneur. Not being honest was just one thing, and more importantly, he was greedy.
Obviously good conditions have been negotiated, but the asking price is always raised suddenly at the most critical time, making the previous efforts of investors all in vain.
It is absolutely unique for such an agricultural and forestry enterprise to have achieved a valuation of tens of billions after only two or three years of development.
One billion in exchange for 10% of the shares. If this is put on other people and spread to the investment community, I am afraid that the big teeth of the peers will be laughed out of.
Now that Chen Mu actually said that this condition was unacceptable, Zhang Hongyu couldn't help but feel a fire in his heart.
He didn't speak yet, but he heard Yu Ming say: "Mr. Chen, although we are meeting for the first time, what I say next may be a bit shallow, but I still want to explain to you."
"Please tell me."
Chen Mu leisurely made a gesture of invitation.
Yu Ming cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Chen, we have done a background check on your Muya Forestry. Although your company's main business... well, that is, the seedling business is doing very well, and it is well-known in the market. , but after all, you are an agricultural and forestry enterprise, and your income is cyclical, and there are also risks from natural factors, so our real valuation of you is actually not high."
After a slight pause, he continued: "Besides, as far as we know, the Muya Research Institute is the most important and valuable asset in your hands, but it does not belong to Muya Forestry. The patent of the new variety of rice grown in the desert is in the hands of another Dafa Natural company, so this also prevents you Muya from obtaining a higher valuation.
To be honest, the valuation of tens of billions is really a bit false. The reason why we can agree to such a condition is mainly because you, the founder, are worthy of investment. To put it bluntly, we want to invest in you.
Therefore, if you are not satisfied with our current conditions, then we really have no way to continue the negotiation. "
Chen Mu was not in a hurry, and waited for Yu Ming to finish speaking before he said: "Mr. Yu, I think you may have misunderstood me. I didn't mean to raise the price temporarily. In fact, I really think you The current conditions are no longer suitable.”
"oh?"
Yu Ming took a deep look at Chen Mu and pondered for a while.
He is already a veteran in the investment industry, and he has no idea how many entrepreneurs there are in his life.
It is not uncommon to see someone like Chen Mu who suddenly and temporarily raises the asking price, and it can be said that he is a bit used to it.
But looking at the expression on Chen Mu's face, he didn't feel any cunning or carelessness, and seemed to be very confident.
Therefore, after thinking about it, he asked Chen Mu: "Mr. Chen, then I wonder if I could ask you to tell us, what exactly is your idea? What is the reason that made you suddenly change your mind?"
