After hearing Edward's answer, Mu Chenhao refused directly, and then said categorically, "Let's take a step back, 15%, which is already the limit. Edward, you know there are many institutions that are also interested in us, Moreover, after the successful financing of Tuopu Technology, the entire Internet is moving toward technologicalization, and the demand for data processing business is huge. Can’t you see the future
Prospect? "
Mu Chenhao's move was just right. It not only shocked Edward, but also defended his own interests. It could be said that he killed two birds with one stone.
Edward was silent for a moment, and finally spoke, "Okay, I agree. I will discuss it with the committee tonight. You wait for my call."
Mu Chenhao suppressed his excitement and replied as calmly as possible, "Okay, I'll wait for your news. Goodbye!"
The negotiation was completed, and Chuangshi Network’s valuation finally exceeded 100 million!
After hanging up the phone, Mu Chenhao kissed Xia Qingkong excitedly. Although it was not uncommon for Mu Chenhao to have wealth in units of hundreds of millions, this was after all his first investment in the Internet industry. To be able to achieve such a result was really impressive. Thankfully.
One day later, Mu Chenhao received a call from Edward. With his lobbying, Sequoia Capital had agreed to Mu Chenhao's financing plan!
After calming down his excitement, Mu Chenhao hugged Xia Qingkong beside him and said happily: "Honey, just now Sequoia Capital has agreed to my US$20 million, 15% equity financing plan!"
Xia Qingkong quickly put down the things in her hands, hugged Mu Chenhao and asked, "Ah? Do you really agree? Then isn't the valuation of Chuangshi Network already over 100 million?"
Mu Chenhao raised a few fingers mysteriously, "One hundred and thirty-three million US dollars!"
Xia Qingkong kissed Mu Chenhao's forehead, and then said, "One hundred and thirty-three million, you have 40% of the shares, and after dilution, you have at least 30%. In other words, you have There is a return of more than 40 million US dollars, nearly 300 million yuan!"
"Husband, you really came at the right time this time. No wonder you have to deal with it personally. I think if the think tank came, I'm afraid Edward wouldn't be so generous." Xia Qingkong said bluntly. Mu Chenhao smiled and said, "This is all superficial wealth. Of the 20 million US dollars from Sequoia Capital, I can only take away 6 million US dollars, and the rest belongs to the company. As long as there is no IPO for one day or continue to do so, Several rounds of financing, whether 10 million or 50 million, are just numbers.
"
Xia Qingkong chuckled, "Our President Mu is already worth hundreds of millions, so of course he doesn't care about these numbers!"
"Honey, we will allocate another 10% as equity incentives for employees. I am still considering whether to transfer some trustworthy people from the group to manage it, or promise them some shares."
Mu Chenhao's words made Xia Qingkong thoughtful, "Who do you want to transfer here, a think tank?"
"The think tank is definitely not good. The group's business cannot be without him. Let's talk about it when the time comes. There is no rush yet."
Xia Qingkong asked again, "Aren't you planning to sell your shares as soon as possible?"
Mu Chenhao shook his head and said, "We can't do a one-time deal. If we really want to sell shares, we have to make the valuation of Chuangshi Network exceed one billion. To achieve this goal, we will need the support of employees. By then , even if the employees only own 1% of the shares, it is worth 10 million US dollars.”
"Ten million US dollars is really a gorgeous figure for ordinary employees!" Xia Qingkong also sighed.
Mu Chenhao called Gaudi Park and told them that he had secured financing from Sequoia Capital.
Upon hearing the news, Eric and Goldi Park were ecstatic, almost holding their heads and laughing wildly together with Hassan.
Ignoring the celebrating Genesis Network team, Mu Chenhao called Michael again, "Michael, I have taken care of Edward. According to our prior agreement, I will use 7.5 million to redeem your 10 % equity.”
Michael chuckled, "Is there such an agreement? Why don't I remember it?"
Mu Chenhao immediately understood Michael's intention and immediately said angrily, "Michael, we didn't agree beforehand, are you going to go back on your promise?"
Michael laughed deeply, "Mr. Mu, I suddenly felt that what you said at the press conference that day made sense. Genesis Network can indeed make up for the current shortcomings of Blackstone Fund. If our two companies really merge, I I believe it will be beneficial to both of us, don’t you think?”
Mu Chenhao replied coldly, "Is this the reason for your betrayal?"
Michael said in a hoarse voice, "Don't speak so harshly, young man. In business, there is always intrigue. With your achievements today, you should have already realized this!"
"Yes, I have indeed experienced this from you!" Mu Chenhao said sarcastically.
Michael couldn't help laughing, and then said seriously, "Mr. Mu, I was not joking just now. You can consider it. If you are willing to transfer your shares, I am willing to buy it for US$80 million. This is almost a start-up." This is the limit of the world’s Internet.”
Mu Chenhao was silent for a few seconds, and then said firmly: "Michael, I will indeed sell the shares of Chuangshi Network, but not now. You know better than me that this is not the limit of Chuangshi Network."
Michael seemed to sense that Mu Chenhao's words were not firm, so he chuckled and said, "Okay, then I can wait, but I will not give up this 10% stake. I can give you some extra compensation, such as an extra one million US dollars for you personally. What do you think?"
Mu Chenhao couldn't help but sarcastically said, "One million dollars? I don't dare to take it. If you record it, it will be insider trading!"
"Haha... It seems that you really don't trust me."
Markle smiled lowly, and then said, "Okay, Mr. Mu, I can use the price of Sequoia Capital to replenish the price difference of this part of the shares to you separately, but you must give me a promise."
"What promise?" Mu Chenhao said solemnly.
"When you want to sell or are forced to sell your shares of Chuangshi Network, I hope that under the same conditions, you will give me priority in selling your shares to me." Michael replied leisurely.
Mu Chenhao thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I can promise you!"
"Okay! The deal is done. Mr. Mu, actually you and I are the same people. I believe that you and I will not be disappointed with this deal." With that, Michael hung up the phone. Looking at the phone, Mu Chenhao showed a smile, the same person? No, you and I can never be the same person.
