After the deposit of more than three million yuan has been paid by card, the rest is waiting for the owner to come from Shanghai to transfer the ownership. In terms of the state of the villa, after the transfer is completed here, you can move in with your luggage there. It is so suitable. How appropriate.
The villa with a total price of nearly 34 million was Li Mu's biggest expense since his rebirth, but it didn't hurt Li Mu at all. After leaving the real estate agency, his inner feeling was just three words: rich. very nice.
After buying all the villas, Li Mu suddenly started spending money. He bought two high-end apartments in the city one after another, one in Zhongguancun and one near the National People's Congress. Both developers provided decoration and home appliances to carry their bags. The main reason for moving into a new house is to make it more convenient for you in the future.
Zhao Kang and Li Mu bought a house near the National People's Congress. The houses they bought were on the same floor. In the future, they would live closer and move around more.
After settling the important matter of buying a house, Li Mu asked Lin Qingya to help him arrange a dinner date with Ding Zhenglin from Sequoia. Now the entire investment banking circle is going crazy looking for Li Mu. No one can figure out why Li Mu said he wanted to raise Series C, so everyone rushed to him. But no one is seen? Is he making fun of everyone? There's no reason. Who would be free to do such a prank? What's more, he is a billionaire, with every inch of money.
But what they didn't expect was that Li Mu, a man with a lot of money, really played a prank on everyone. He had already figured out the operating rhythm of the whole thing, and now he got it with almost no effort. He is currently active in China. Information about this group of elites in the investment banking circle. If you can get Ding Zhenglin, give him this list and let him continue to recruit people. Just think of it as forming a team for him. If you can't get Ding Zhenglin, then you can dig someone else. People, let him use this list to poach people.
In short, Li Mu's idea is to pull out the carrot and bring out the mud when it comes to poaching people, and there must always be some unexpected gains.
Ding Zhenglin didn't expect that Li Mu would really want to see him in the past two days. After all, there were so many outstanding people in the investment banking circle waiting for Li Mu to summon him. If Li Mu looked at the size of the company and the qualifications and background of the interface personnel, he might not be able to meet him. Not even in the top five.
The investment banking circle has always felt that if Liu Hong came forward to talk to Li Mu about Series C on behalf of Goldman Sachs, it would be the combination with the highest success rate. After all, everyone knew that Liu Hong represented a huge family headed by her father, and even Goldman Sachs hired her because of this. Liu Hong, who was young, was attracted by Liu Hong's identity and background.
However, he never expected that instead of having high hopes, he would receive an unexpected surprise.
When Lin Qingya called his cell phone and explained her purpose, Ding Zhenglin, who was preparing for the morning meeting at the company, excitedly covered the microphone at the bottom of his cell phone and shouted uncontrollably: "That's great!"
This voice shocked the people in the conference room who were preparing for the meeting. Everyone looked at Ding Zhenglin, and saw him talking to the phone again with an excited face: "Hello, Mr. Lin, I am available at any time today. .”
Lin Qingya said: "Let's do it this way. Our Mr. Li wants to chat while eating in the evening, around seven o'clock. I will text you the specific address later."
"Okay, okay!" Ding Zhenglin said hurriedly: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lin."
As soon as the phone hung up, Ding Zhenglin raised his head and found that everyone was staring at him with puzzled expressions. He couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and blurted out: "There is a letter from Makino Technology! Li Mu wants to meet me after dinner to talk about financing. matter!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire conference room burst into cheers.
During this period, companies and senior managers in the investment banking circle are like concubines waiting for the emperor to turn over their cards. All they can think about is when they will receive a notice from Makino Technology for an interview. The development of Makino Technology The speed is astonishing, and the speed of capital doubling is unprecedented. Moreover, the news released by Makino Technology this time is that it will acquire 15-20%. Such a big cake is a dream for any venture capital. The perfect project, with a price of more than one billion invested, at the speed of Makino Technology's development, it will be listed in the United States in one or two years. By then, the market value corresponding to the billions will probably be the same amount of US dollars. Who will take it? If we take this project, the KPI indicators are extremely high. If we can really win this project, the managers responsible for investing in this project will basically be able to live with it for the rest of their lives.
Ding Zhenglin and his colleagues know very well that if they win this project, once Makino Technology is listed in the United States, the dividends and rewards that Ding Zhenglin can get will be at least tens of millions, and this project will become a halo for his future career. , the more powerful Makino Technology is, the more powerful he is. In this investment banking circle, just saying: "I negotiated the C round of Makino Technology." is enough to show his qualifications.
The CEO of Sequoia China took the lead in applauding Ding Zhenglin. After the applause gradually stopped, he said: "Zheng Lin, you must work hard this time! Take advantage of this opportunity to win over Makino Technology in one fell swoop!"
Ding Zhenglin nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Lan, I will do my best."
Mr. Lan nodded slightly and then said: "The C-round valuation of Makino Technology can start from 8 billion and go up to 12 billion. Tell Li Mu that we only want equity, not any voting rights or preferences." Right, give him all the voting rights! In addition, the money we invested in the C round will allow the original shareholders of Makino Technology to cash out at most 50%!"
Everyone here was stunned by Mr. Lan's words. Regarding Makino Technology's C round, everyone had already held a meeting to discuss it. It was decided at that time to start with 6 billion and stop at 10 billion. You can give the voting rights to Li Mu, but you can't give up the priority, because once you give up the priority, you have to wait until after the listing to cash out. Why did the low price suddenly increase a lot
Mr. Lan also saw everyone's surprise and explained: "The headquarters has also paid attention to the situation of Makino Technology. Now the valuation of Makino Technology is very high. When it was round B, it was financed at a market value of 800 million. Now his business is The revenue has increased a lot, and the corresponding expenses have also increased a lot, but the business itself has been greatly improved. You should have seen how big the celebrity Tieba has been recently. Hundreds of celebrities are active in the Tieba regularly. This influence is really It’s amazing, and YY’s future development space is immeasurable, so if we want to ensure that we can win Makino Technology’s Series C round at this time, we must pay a high premium and bet that it will be even stronger in the future!”
Speaking, Mr. Lan paused and then said: "The meaning from the headquarters is very clear. Makino Technology's development model is very recognized by Silicon Valley. If it accepts our investment, then we will have absolute confidence in operating Makino Technology in the future." If it is listed on Nasdaq, as long as it is listed, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money and cash it out.”
The strength of an international investment bank is not only money, but more importantly, means. Generally speaking, as long as an international investment bank like Sequoia invests money in this company, out of its own considerations about investment safety and rate of return, We will definitely find ways to help the invested companies package, tell stories, find channels, and then cash out the investment with the next taker. For a company like Makino Technology that develops very fast but does not rely on burning money and has cash flow, Their confidence in helping it get listed on Nasdaq is also very reliable.
After saying this, everyone understood. Since the headquarters is optimistic about it, there is nothing to say. Even if Makino Technology is given a valuation of two billion US dollars, as long as Makino Technology is willing to ask for it, they will be willing to give it because the money is given. , you will definitely be able to double your earnings after listing. If Makino Technology continues to be strong after listing, the company will always hold its shares. If it feels a bottleneck period, it can directly cash out in the secondary market, with a huge sum of money. Walk away with huge profits.
Ding Zhenglin is also full of confidence. With the support of the headquarters and such a high premium, he believes that Li Mu will not refuse. What's more, the C round allows shareholders of Makino Technology to cash out 50%, which is a huge discount. , if it is normal, at least 80% of this money will go into Makino Technology's accounts for operating funds, but now, as long as Li Mu nods, if a valuation of 12 billion is finally negotiated, and Sequoia accounts for 20%, then Redwood will Of the 2.4 billion in cash Shanyi gave to Makino Technology, the current shareholder team can pocket 1.2 billion! Who would refuse such a generous offer
Just when Ding Zhenglin was excited and gearing up, Mr. Lan added: "Zheng Lin, I have to remind you in advance that the higher the final transaction price, the lower your KPI index will be. If it is as high as one hundred and twenty The Yidu negotiation has not yet been concluded, and the headquarters may consider continuing to increase the stakes, but at that time, you will not be responsible for following this case, the headquarters will send people to follow it, so you must strive to complete it online."
Ding Zhenglin had a stern expression and said seriously: "I understand, don't worry! I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
If Li Mu had seen this scene in Sequoia, he would have lamented that these people were really into the drama. The smug Ding Zhenglin and his colleagues did not know that even though they were eloquent and confident, This case may be negotiated. Li Mu once told Song Liang and Xu Jiaming that Makino Technology would not raise additional financing before going public. He would not break his promise. The most critical reason is that Makino Technology is not short of money at all.
The current development trend of Makino Technology is very good. Tieba is in the period of rapid growth, YY and YY Games are in the period of rapid growth. Star Tieba has just started not long ago, and its influence has not yet reached its peak. There is still a long way to go. YY and YY Games Value-added income continues to increase. Although Happy Farm's income begins to decline slowly, the amount is still very considerable. In this case, he does not need large amounts of funds to expand rapidly, so the possibility of financing is zero.
Moreover, he has a big product on hand that is about to be launched. Once this big product is launched, the valuation of Makino Technology may have to be recalculated.
Right now, he is busy with the launch of this big product. The YY portal has been fully developed, and he is currently communicating with Wang Nan and other core members of the portal network on the specific matters regarding the launch.
Double 11 is coming soon, everyone must be preparing to buy it, right? Buge wishes everyone a happy shopping in advance! In addition, exercise some restraint and don’t wait until Double 11 is over and clamor to chop off your hands...
