"Five billion?"
Even a rich man like Li Zekai was frightened by Xu Yiyang's lion's mouth.
The inner line is, you might as well grab 500 million US dollars!
Xu Yiyang said matter-of-factly: "I believe that when Tencent goes public in two years, its market value will not be less than six to seven billion US dollars."
Saying that, Xu Yiyang deliberately deceived: "Master Li, you have to see how hot the Internet is now. If nothing else, the Nasdaq is about to reach 5,000 points. There are many companies in the United States. It has been losing money while holding a valuation of tens of billions of dollars. There are very few companies that can make as much money as Tencent. There is not even one in China. Such a company does not seem to be that big now. , that’s because it has just sprouted, and if you wait half a year and see it again, it will definitely be a different scene.”
Li Zekai thought to himself, how could I be willing to wait half a year? Why don't you say that after it is listed, I will directly go to the secondary market to buy stocks as a retail investor
As investors, aren’t we just trying to get a head start? Buying for one yuan and selling for a hundred yuan is a big deal. Buying for ninety-nine yuan and selling for a hundred yuan is a fool's errand.
Moreover, Li Zekai is indeed very optimistic about Tencent’s future.
This is different from when he invested in Tencent in his previous life. When he invested in Tencent in his previous life, Tencent was still burning money and saw little hope.
Coupled with the bursting of the Internet bubble in March 2000, he saw with his own eyes the cooling of global Internet companies, so he was no longer optimistic about the future of the Internet, so he hurriedly dumped Tencent shares.
This life is just the opposite. The Internet bubble has not yet started. Tencent has already begun to make money and has huge development prospects. He can't wait to get on the bus as soon as possible.
Xu Yiyang seemed to be really hard to be convinced by the valuation of US$240 million, so he said to Xu Yiyang: "Mr. Xu, let's do this. I will finance 20% of the valuation of US$300 million. If you personally want to Cash out part of it, and I’ll charge you another 20% privately!”
Xu Yiyang said immediately without thinking: "It's impossible Mr. Li, if I agree to it for less than 500 million US dollars, I will be your grandson."
"Isn't this... Isn't it too serious to say this?" Li Zekai was a little embarrassed.
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "The words are a bit rough, but the reasoning is not rough. Mr. Li, think about it. Now there is more than one capital that wants to invest in Tencent. During the Sotheby's auction, if there are many buyers bidding, something worth one hundred thousand It’s normal to fetch one million yuan. With so much capital interested, if everyone bids together, the actual valuation will probably be even higher!”
As he said that, he smiled slightly and said: "Of course, you can ask Mr. Ma of Tencent to see if their team is willing to transfer part of the shares to you privately at the valuation you mentioned, but I think it is too little. , so I will not participate.”
Li Zekai didn't expect Xu Yiyang to refuse so simply.
Moreover, the valuation Xu Yiyang wants is too high, right
Five hundred million dollars!
Tencent is indeed making some money now, and it does have great potential in the future, but US$500 million is really too high.
But Xu Yiyang is right.
Many people are very optimistic about Tencent.
Some people can get tens of millions of dollars in investment and hundreds of millions of dollars in valuations based on a shell company or a concept.
Tencent has millions of users, strong earning power, and great development potential. Five hundred million US dollars is really not that much when you look at it.
When Li Zekai was silent, Xu Yiyang added: "Mr. Li, actually, I think that although Mr. Ma wants you to buy shares now, when it comes to the price negotiation stage, he won't accept your offer of more than 200 million US dollars." He will agree. If you want him to actually sit down with you and sign the contract, the valuation cannot be less than 400 million."
Li Zekai knew this.
Mr. Ma is interested in letting him in, but that doesn't mean he won't bargain with him. It's just that everyone hasn't entered the bargaining stage yet.
So, he said to Xu Yiyang: "Mr. Xu, four hundred million dollars, this is the highest price I can give."
Xu Yiyang shook his head and said: "Mr. Li, I just said it is less than 500 million. I want to promise that I am your grandson. You can give me 400 million now. I treat you as a friend, but you can't take advantage of me in terms of seniority." I’m cheap!”
Li Zekai immediately couldn't laugh or cry.
Who has ever seen people talking about business like this...
Come on, if it’s less than 500 million, I’ll agree. I’m your grandson. How can we continue talking about this
Xu Yiyang continued: "Master Li, don't have any psychological burden. You think 500 million US dollars is too painful. In fact, 500 million US dollars is just the lowest threshold that I started to consider. Even if you really give me a valuation of 500 million US dollars, I will just give you a valuation of 500 million US dollars." I will think about it for a while, but in the end I probably won’t agree.”
Li Zekai sighed: "Mr. Xu, you cherish feathers a little too much. If you cherish feathers too much, you will feel an excessive premium, which is not good for you."
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "Maybe you will think it is a premium, but I don't think it is at all. As long as I can endure the loneliness, after two years, 500 million will become 5 billion. The Internet market is so good, and next year Nasdaq will It may reach 6,000 or even 7,000 points. At that time, profitable Internet companies like Tencent will become blue chip stocks on Nasdaq, and their future is limitless."
After saying that, Xu Yiyang said again: "Look, I am just a college student now, and my monthly living expenses in the mainland are only a few thousand yuan. This means that it makes no sense for me to cash out from you now. I don’t spend the money. Others kill chickens to get eggs for eating eggs. I don’t eat eggs. What do I do with killing chickens? How is this different from selling a house when housing prices are skyrocketing when there is no need for money? Isn’t it too stupid?”
Only then did Li Zekai realize that Xu Yiyang probably wasn't talking nonsense to him at all.
I have investigated his general situation and found that he is indeed a college student, and there seems to be many other industries. As a college student, there is nothing to spend money on. There is really no need for him to sell his shares to cash out.
If Xu Yiyang is not interested in cashing out, this will be difficult.
Li Zekai hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Is this your first time in Hong Kong, Mr. Xu?"
"Yes." Xu Yiyang nodded and said, "First time."
Li Zekai said: "Then you must have a good time in Hong Kong. If you have nothing to do on the weekend, you can come to me and we can play golf together or go sailing on a yacht."
Xu Yiyang didn't know why he suddenly changed the topic, and he was not interested in any of this, but he still smiled and said: "Okay, look at the time, if there are no other arrangements, you can consider it."
Li Zekai stood up and walked to the window, pointing to the prosperous Hong Kong buildings on the other side of Victoria Harbor, and said seriously: "Mr. Xu, you see, although Hong Kong is small, it is really prosperous, with delicious food, fun, and shopping. There are really many beautiful things.”
As he spoke, he added: "The middle class in Hong Kong like to go abroad, to the UK, Canada, the United States, Australia, to travel there, and even immigrate and live in big villas; but Hong Kong really has Rich people spend all day in Hong Kong and don’t want to go anywhere, do you know why?”
Xu Yiyang shook his head: "I don't know, please give me some advice from Mr. Li."
As Li Zekai spoke, he stretched out his fingers and gestured one by one: "Rich people in Hong Kong live in mountainside villas worth hundreds of millions. Half of the mountain is yours. The scenery is superb. Dozens of Filipino maids line up to wait on you." You, there are a bunch of luxury cars worth tens of millions parked in the villa, there are yachts worth tens of millions parked in the bay at the foot of the villa hill, and there are private jets worth hundreds of millions parked at Chek Lap Kok Airport... "
"When you want to be alone, just stay in the villa and enjoy the scenery;"
"If you want a lot of people to liven up, let your friends invite some female stars to have a party in a villa or on a cruise ship;"
"If you want to date, find a young, beautiful and elegant female star. If you don't want to date, just pay a breakup fee and break up peacefully;"
"If you are tired of the weather in Hong Kong, you can take your own private jet to Switzerland for skiing, or go diving on the Great Barrier Reef..."
After talking a lot, Li Zekai sighed: "In the final analysis, Hong Kong is a paradise for rich people. Mr. Xu doesn't want to live like this in the future?"
After finishing speaking, Li Zekai added: "If Mr. Li wants to come to Hong Kong to live, I can help you apply for permanent residence in Hong Kong. I can even help you apply to transfer to the University of Hong Kong. Even if you don't go to class for a day, I can still ensure that you Get a degree, or even a master's and doctoral degree. Think about it, if you cash out first, you can buy a luxury house, drive a luxury car, ride a yacht, and hang out with celebrities in Hong Kong. Your quality of life will instantly improve. I can recommend some entertainment If you have friends in the industry, many female stars who you think are innocent and pure on TV will rush to be your girlfriend, and your life will be perfect;"
"After I help Tencent list in Hong Kong, you will be a super rich man worth hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. By then, your life in Hong Kong will be more comfortable and you will become a well-known young rich man in Hong Kong!"
Xu Yiyang said in his heart, no wonder you have been touting Hong Kong to me for a long time. It turns out that you want to seduce me and make me full of desire for Hong Kong...
Thinking of this, Xu Yiyang couldn't help but secretly sigh, Superboy does have two brushes.
He first used so many elements to try to raise his expectations for Hong Kong and make himself eager to enjoy life early.
In this case, a normal person's logical thinking is that if he wants to get what he describes, he must cash out a large amount of money, and he can get permanent residence in Hong Kong, and he can help him solve both the cash out and the right of residence.
Using this method to lower my guard against his investment in Tencent, and even open my arms, I have to say, there is really something.
but…
But I am not a nineteen-year-old brat, and my eyes will light up when he hears him talking about female celebrities.
He wants to fool himself now, but he doesn't know that he is also thinking of fooling him in his heart.
So, Xu Yiyang nodded pretending to be excited and said: "The suggestion given by Mr. Li is really a good choice. I wonder if it is easy to obtain permanent residence in Hong Kong?"
Li Zekai said very seriously: "If I help you get it, it will only take a few days."
Xu Yiyang immediately looked expectant.
In fact, Xu Yiyang did not want to live in Hong Kong at all, but he planned to make Li Zekai think that he was attracted by the life he described and make him relax his vigilance about himself.
So he said to Li Zekai: "Master Li, let's do this. I like to gamble on luck. If you accept my request for a valuation of US$500 million, then I will sell all 55% of my shares at US$500 million." The valuation is pledged to you, and you give me the equivalent in cash.”
"Mortgage?" Li Zekai asked in surprise: "What do you want so much cash for?"
Xu Yiyang waved his hand and said very boldly: "I want to enter the stock market and take a big shot!"
