Chapter 822 Raise the asking price
"No, no, business things are bargaining. You can try your best to gain benefits for your company. There is nothing wrong with that, I can understand."
Chen Mu acted gentle and very successful entrepreneurial. Only those who were familiar with his character knew that he was holding on to bad water at this time and didn't know what he wanted to do.
"Thank you Mr. Chen for your understanding."
Of course, Zhang Hongyu is not a person familiar with Chen Mupin. He and Chen Mu only had contact with him once at best, so he didn't know much about it.
Hearing Chen Mu's words, he felt very comfortable at the moment. Before coming, he was worried that he would be hated by Chen Mu because he couldn't meet the previous one. Now it seems that this young man is still very good.
"Mr. Zhang, you are so polite. Don't say thank you. What's the point of thanking me?"
While saying polite words, Chen Mu poured water for several others.
In addition to Zhang Hongyu and Yu Ming, there are three other people in the other party. They all seem to be professional tool people. They all have professional smiles on their faces and don’t speak much, probably because Yu Ming and Zhang Hongyu’s lead are on their heads.
Chen Mu walked around, poured a glass of water for everyone, then sat down, looked at the guests, and asked, "Since you are here to discuss investment, we have also been wasted our time in circles. Let's get straight to the topic. 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, you proposed that we invest 10 billion to obtain 10% of your Muya Forestry's shares. I think this time we can talk about this condition. What do you think?"
Zhang Hongyu had previously expressed the conditions proposed by Chen Mu at an internal meeting of the company, and everyone who attended the meeting felt that Chen Mu was greedy.
Such conditions are too harsh and will not result in the face of any investor.
However, after discussion at the meeting, they finally decided to try their best to promote this investment, because they were interested in Chen Mu. Investing in Mu Ya may not be worth the valuation, but investing in Chen Mu is worth it.
Chen Mu is still so young and has made such a big name. If he continues to develop like this, his future will definitely be limitless.
Even if they don’t make money by investing in Mu Ya, they 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.
As they expected, Jinhui Investment could agree to give such a valuation, and Chen Mu should have thanked him for his words...
But what surprised Zhang Hongyu was that Chen Mu actually pondered for a moment and said seriously: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, the previous condition is no longer within my consideration... Well, I'm afraid I won't accept your plan."
Zhang Hongyu was stunned for a moment and couldn't react a little.
Yu Ming beside him was also surprised, but then he frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something.
After Zhang Hongyu came to his senses, he looked at Yu Ming at the first moment, then thought for a moment before asking: "Mr. Chen, what do you mean? This condition was proposed by you before. Our company can basically agree to your conditions. As long as we both discuss some details of cooperation, 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 mentioned before. Time has changed, 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 frowning, and looked at Chen Mu without saying anything immediately.
He felt that he had met the kind of entrepreneur he hated the most. Not being honest was just one thing, and more importantly, insatiable.
Although we have already negotiated good conditions, we always suddenly raised the asking price at the most critical moment, making all the efforts made by investors have in vain.
Such an agricultural and forestry enterprise has only been developing for only two or three years and has obtained a valuation of 10 billion yuan, which is absolutely unique.
If one billion yuan is exchanged for 10% of the shares, if this is placed on others and spread to the investment world, it may be a big tooth for the peers.
Now Chen Mu actually said that this condition was unacceptable, which really made Zhang Hongyu unable to help but a little fire snake emerge in his heart.
Before he could speak, he kept listening to Yu Ming's words: "Mr. Chen, although this is the first time we have met, what I will say next may be a little bit profound, but I still want to talk to you."
"Please say it."
Chen Mu made a leisurely gesture of invitation.
Yu Mingqing cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Chen, we have conducted background checks on your Muya Forestry. Although your company's main business...well, the seedling cultivation business is well done and has a reputation in the market. But after all, you are an agricultural and forestry enterprise. The income is cyclical and there are risks of natural factors, so our real valuation of you is actually not high."
After a slight pause, he continued: "And, as far as we know, Muya Research Institute is the most important and valuable asset in your hands, but it is not affiliated with Muya Forestry. For example, your new rice patent that can be planted in the desert is held in the hands of another rice-faithing company, so this also prevents you Muya from obtaining a higher valuation.
To be honest, the valuation of 10 billion is really a bit false. The reason why we can agree to such conditions is mainly because you, the founder, is worth investing in. To put it bluntly, I want to invest in you.
So, if you are not satisfied with our current conditions, then we really can’t continue to discuss it.”
Chen Mu was not in a hurry. Waiting for Yu Ming to finish his words, he said: "Mr. Yu, I think you may have misunderstood what I mean. I am not saying that you want to raise the price temporarily. In fact, I really think that your current conditions are no longer suitable."
"oh?"
Yu Ming looked at Chen Mu deeply and pondered for a moment.
He is already a veteran in the investment industry, and he doesn't know how many entrepreneurs Lin Linse have been seductive for most of his life.
I have seen people like Chen Mu who suddenly raised the price temporarily before, and it can be said that they are a little used to it.
However, looking at the expression on Chen Mu's face, he could not feel any cunning or carefulness, and seemed to be particularly confident.
