The next morning, Li Mu rented a car and took his classmates from afar to the beach in the morning. He arranged for them to have dinner at the ecological park at noon, but Li Mu himself did not stay. This group of people got along with him day and night every day. Eating was so commonplace that now his parents became the people who rarely ate together. So Li Mu went home to have lunch with his parents and tasted his mother's long-lost cooking skills. The family of three enjoyed themselves happily.
In order to discuss the matter of opening a taxi company and the future Series B financing of Makino Technology, Li Mu went to meet Song Liang in the afternoon.
Song Liang didn't expect that Li Muren, who was working in an Internet company with a valuation of over 100 million in Yanjing, would still have the energy to think about opening a taxi company in Haizhou.
However, after Song Liang heard Li Mu tell the story, he admired him a little more. As a young man who had just entered junior college, Zhao Kang could earn nearly one million in a few months with Li Mu, and he also got the Makino Technology 5 % of the shares, it is enough to call it pie in the sky, but Li Mu can even hear the other party, and Li Mu wants to do this business now because he actually wants to find a career for his friend's father.
Song Liang was also surprised in his heart, whether Li Mu sometimes went too far with favors, but after thinking about it, he must have thought of this level, so he let his parents also buy shares, and the shares were the same as those of others. Zhao Kang's father is 50/50, so it's not helping, but cooperation. If Zhao Kang's father manages well, while making money for himself, he is also making money for Li Mu's family.
After thinking about it, Song Liang said to Li Mu: "The taxi company is easy to handle, and the car license is also easy to get, but 20 cars are a bit too few?"
Li Mu said: "It's quite a lot. Twenty cars cost more than one million, and Zhao Kang doesn't have much money."
Song Liang smiled and said: "How can you invest 100% in cash when doing business? This business can be done with a loan."
"loan?"
Song Liang nodded: "Buy ten cars first, then mortgage the ten cars, and then mortgage the purchased cars. This can solve at least 40% of the funding problem. Moreover, the loan interest rate is not high now, so it is quite cost-effective."
As he spoke, Song Liang said with a smile: "I can help you find someone in this regard. You don't have to go through the trouble of buying and remortgaging, buying and remortgaging again. You can just ask someone from the bank to give you a super low-interest loan." As long as you take out one million, it’s not a problem to borrow two million.”
Li Mu asked him curiously: "Super low interest rate, how low exactly is it?"
Song Liang thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's almost the same as the interest on two years of regular deposits."
Li Mu was shocked: "So low?!"
The interest rates on loans and deposits are almost the same. Isn’t this interest rate too low? The current regular two-year interest rate should be less than 3%...
Song Liang said with a smile: "Banks also have tasks for lending every year. As long as the tasks are completed well and the amount of reserves is increased, even interest-free loans can be obtained through connections. You may have never been exposed to loans, but I have Dealing with loans all the time.”
Li Mu lowered his head and thought for a moment. If he really invested one million and borrowed two million, he could buy forty or fifty cars with three million, which was more than double his original plan. However, the funds only needed Taking up one million is even less than the planned investment of two to three hundred thousand.
Now that he is investing in a taxi company, the only thing Li Mu is not sure about is Zhao Kang's father's operating ability. However, as long as he buys forty or fifty cars, he will definitely make a profit.
So Li Mu said: "Then I'll leave it to you, Brother Liang. I can only stay in Haizhou for two days and leave tomorrow night. I'll ask Zhao Kang's father to contact you directly later."
Song Liang nodded: "Don't worry about this, I will definitely help you take care of it."
Li Mu also has great confidence in him. He is also a local leader in Haizhou. With him here, there is basically no problem that cannot be solved.
In the past, Li Mu was afraid that if he asked Song Liang for help, he would not be able to repay his favor, but now the two of them are a community of interests tied together. Song Liang holds 5% of the shares in Muye Technology, and his newly opened property in Sanpailou, Haizhou, will be returned to him. Li Mu left 5 points of shares waiting for Li Mu to invest. He had mentioned this matter to Li Mu at the beginning, but Li Mu had no money at the time, so the matter was temporarily shelved.
After talking about the taxi company, Li Mugang wanted to talk to Song Liang about Makino Technology, but Song Liang took the initiative and asked Li Mu: "I will leave you the five points of shares in Sanpailou. When are you going to take it? The project is now It has already started and will be launched in early 2003."
Li Mu asked him: "How much?"
Song Liang smiled and said: "Start with more than 68 million, five points for 3.4 million."
Li Mu stuck out his tongue: "Oh, it's so expensive. I can't afford it yet."
Song Liang said cheerfully: "Come on, one point of your Makino shares is worth so much."
Li Mu smiled and said, "But my lack of cash is the most embarrassing thing."
Song Liang shook his head and said with a smile: "Because Makino Technology is so profitable, I will help you pay out the 5%. When you cash out, you will give it to me. Real estate profits are not as high as the Internet. The cost and housing price of this property According to the overall calculation of the growth rate, it should be able to quadruple when it opens in early 2003. Compared with Makino, it is a scumbag."
Li Mu saw that Song Liang seemed to feel that he owed him some favors. He didn't expect Makino Technology to be so profitable at first, and its valuation had increased several times in a few months. He originally promised Li Mu 5% of the real estate shares, but now it seems that he is not as good as Li Mu. It's nothing compared to what it brings to me.
Moreover, Song Liang has a long-term vision in doing things. His intuition tells him that if he holds 5% of Makino Technology's shares, it may become his greatest wealth in the future.
Li Mu did not reject Song Liang's kindness. Although it was somewhat inappropriate to wait and enjoy the benefits without paying for it, he must always give Song Liang a chance to find balance. He behaved shamelessly in this matter. Makino can be more calm when it comes to things.
So, Li Mu said: "Let's do this, Brother Liang. You can help me pay these five points first. When the real estate is launched, you can help me convert the five points into house area. When I have enough cash on hand, I will Money for you."
Song Liang nodded: "Okay, but I suggest you wait until the house is sold before giving it to me. I'm not in a hurry to use the money."
Li Mu said indifferently and shamelessly: "Okay, as long as you don't have any objection, I don't have any objection."
Song Liang asked again: "Are you short of cash on hand? I can prepare some for you if needed?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "There is no need for cash. I don't have much money to spend right now."
Song Liang said: "Anyway, if you need anything, just say hello and don't see me outside."
Li Mu nodded and said, "By the way, I have something to ask you. Please give me your advice."
"you say."
Li Mu said: "I want to kick Baidu out of Muye."
Song Liang couldn't help but sit up straight, squinted his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Mu made three points: "First, Baidu has had ambitions for Makino Technology from the beginning. If he is kept in the company, every subsequent financing round will be an invisible war."
Song Liang agreed and said: "Indeed, Baidu wanted to take you all away from the beginning."
Li Mu smiled and added: "Secondly, Baidu's help to Makino has become increasingly useless. Baidu's current traffic itself is not very impressive, and the profit model has only just begun to explore. Makino's future development direction will not be the best for search engines." There’s not much dependence on it.”
Song Liang said: "I don't understand this. You have to weigh it yourself. What is the third point?"
"The third point is that I think Baidu will go astray in the future. They have already started to do bidding rankings. If they focus on profit, they will cause a lot of trouble in the future."
Song Liang asked him: "What kind of trouble is it?"
Li Mu said: "There are various possibilities. For example, you were messing around outside and accidentally contracted an illness. You wanted to search on Baidu for a cure. As a result, it recommended those black doctors on the telephone poles to you. You wouldn't Knowing the truth, I went to seek medical treatment, but not only was I defrauded of money, but my treatment was also delayed.”
Song Liang laughed and scolded: "Why don't you use another person to compare?"
Li Mu said: "Using this analogy will give you a better sense of involvement."
Song Liang raised his middle finger at Li Mu and asked a question: "Why did Baidu recommend those black doctors to me?"
Li Mu said: "Because they pay more when ranking keywords, for example, if you search for gonorrhea..."
Song Liang waved his hand: "Okay, stop talking, I understand, I really want to make fun of him."
Li Mu nodded and smiled: "So I want to kick them out of Makino Technology. Strictly speaking, there is actually a fourth reason, and that is profit. If Baidu's 10% shares can be recovered, they will be directly transferred to Series B. The investment bank estimates that it can be exchanged for 50 million."
Song Liang asked him: "Then what are you going to do?"
Li Mu talked about his multi-pronged approach.
After listening to this, Song Liang said: "It's very insidious, but it's also very classic. Shopping malls are all about intrigues and hand-to-hand combat, and it's appropriate to use some tricks. I don't have any comments to make. The only thing I hope is that you can try your best to make Baidu happy." I’d like to quit Makino and take over Yi Ting, so as not to let other investment banks have objections to you in the future.”
Li Mu understood what he meant. He was afraid that he would lose his reputation in the investment banking circle, so he nodded and said: "I will strive to satisfy both parties in this matter. I only do this kind of thing of kicking people out of the car halfway." This time, I will carefully screen every investment bank that comes in from now on, and I will cooperate until the end when I choose one.”
Song Liang asked: "If Makino Technology raises Series B, do you have a favorite investment bank?"
Li Mu shook his head and said: "I receive emails with investment intentions almost every day, but right now they all look the same. Makino Technology is still brewing a few big moves, and the actual financing will have to wait until the big moves are released."
Song Liang said: "With your development speed, Makino Technology can go public in just a few rounds of financing."
Li Mu smiled calmly: "If Makino Technology is listed one day, it will only be on Nasdaq."
