While Gao Jin was busy in Europe, Li Xing, CEO of the domestic Kangaroo Group, also flew to the other side of the ocean in the United States.
The three major food delivery platforms in China are fighting each other, and the situation is unclear. This situation made Li Xing aware of the danger.
The domestic financing environment has changed. In the past, investment companies or those with large funds rushed to invest in Kangaroo companies.
Now, these people are starting to wait and see.
They have become less optimistic about Kangaroo Company. In the eyes of these people, Kangaroo Company is a bit dangerous at the moment.
The company is secretly negotiating with Alibaba. I don’t know what the outcome will be. In short, the company will be worry-free in the short term.
Behind Rocket Bear Company is the Xingling Group. The Xingling Group is called a joint-stock company and is actually controlled by the Gao family. In other words, the Xingling Group was founded by the young man Gao Jin.
The Gao family is very mysterious, and no one knows how much money they have.
Another one is the Gao Group in Xiangjiang. Gao Yuanming and Gao Yuande are brothers. The two families have a good relationship. Once Gao Jin raises funds, it is not impossible for the Gao Group to invest billions or even tens of billions in one fell swoop.
On the contrary, Kangaroo Company relies entirely on shareholders' investment. Now that there is no hope, no one can say whether shareholders will continue to spend money.
Therefore, it has become the mainstream idea to take a look and then talk.
Li Xing also saw through this. This time he came to the United States to persuade the eight major American consortiums to invest heavily in the market.
Hehe, the reason why the taxi-hailing companies dominate the taxi-hailing market is that they used large amounts of foreign funds to burn money for several months, and in one fell swoop, their competitors withdrew from the industry.
This time Li Xing also plans to fight against the odds and use big money to build a future in one fell swoop.
Rocket Bear Company has fully covered the economically prosperous cities in China. If it wants to sink its competitors, it will need big funds to hit the market.
Domestic shareholders do not have the strength and courage to do so, so they can only turn to American consortiums for help.
When the plane landed at the New York Airport, Li Xing walked out of the aisle and was picked up by a group of foreigners and settled into the Marriott Hotel not far from Wall Street.
One night passed, and early the next morning, Li Xing drove straight to Wall Street, and the motorcade soon entered the Odinburg Building parking lot.
Li Xing walked out of the elevator and entered Castile Investment Company.
Although Castile Investments is located on Wall Street, it keeps a low profile.
However, being low-key does not mean lacking strength.
Castile Investment Company apparently manages more than 10 billion dollars in funds, but actually manages more than 80 billion U.S. dollars.
Many wealthy people want to hand over their funds to Castile Investment Company, but Castile Investment Company simply refuses to accept them.
Very stylish.
At this moment, Li Xing is discussing matters with Moss, the prime minister of the investment company. Tomorrow, heads of Sequoia Capital, Southern Consortium, etc., will come to New York for interviews.
The talks were not going well. Castile Investment Company was very hesitant to continue investing. General Manager Moss was very clear about the pattern of China's takeout market.
"Moss, there is no point in our arguing now. If I fail, your early investment will be in vain. Now is the critical moment."
"I have reserved a small conference room in the Marriott Hotel. Seven investment companies including Sequoia Capital, Southern Consortium, etc. will arrive at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."
"We have one last negotiation, what do you think?"
Li Xing was really anxious and angry at the moment, and he didn't even look at what time it was. If Kangaroo Company couldn't withstand this competition, bankruptcy would be inevitable.
Moss thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I will attend as promised."
After receiving Moss's reply, Li Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It would be easy to negotiate if he wanted to. It was just a question of how much it would cost.
As long as the other party is willing to continue talking, your plan will hopefully succeed.
The next day, Marriott Hotel, boutique small conference room.
Li Xing stood in front of the screen and started his speech with a ppt. He was very knowledgeable and gave a comprehensive analysis of the Chinese takeout market.
Clearly point out the current shortcomings, lack of money, and lack of funds to directly sink the opponent.
After telling this, I started to explain the benefits that Kangaroo Company will bring by monopolizing the Chinese takeout market.
If each store takes a 20% commission on each order, the profit would be tens of billions of dollars a year.
Through some operations, you don’t have to pay much taxes and fees to the Chinese government. Moreover, this kind of income is a continuous and steady stream of profits.
A one-time investment will benefit you for life.
Investing in Kangaroo Company can guarantee your wealth for three generations.
After Li Xing spent more than half an hour explaining, he began to accept questions from people about the redistribution of equity, how to redistribute profits...etc., various questions emerged one after another.
Li Xingdu gave a clear reply and even broke the bottom line of lowering the shareholding that he usually never gave up.
He made it clear that he would take out 10% of the shares, and interested parties could acquire them.
You must sign a power of attorney with me for the acquisition. Ten percent of the shares only have dividend rights and do not have corporate management authority or voting rights. These two items must be authorized to Li Xing unconditionally and indefinitely.
Li Xing is not stupid. His shares can be reduced, but management authority and decision-making power must be firmly in his own hands.
The debate at the meeting was fierce, with everyone fighting for their own interests.
We must invest, and we all understand that if we don’t invest at this time, Kangaroo Company will not be able to survive.
These investment institutions are very clear about the state of China's domestic takeout market.
"Li Xing, how much do you know about the parent company of Rocket Bear Company and where their funds come from."
Wade, the representative of the Southern Consortium, asked, "This question is very critical. If Rocket Bear hadn't come out of nowhere, Kangaroo Company would have achieved its predetermined goal at this moment."
Others also looked at Li Xing, hoping that Li Xing could give a clear answer, which would be important for the next decision.
"Sorry, I don't know much"
"The Xingling Group is controlled by the father and son of the Gao family in Xiangjiang, and the actual control is in the hands of Gao Jin."
"At first I thought it was Gao Yuande who was supporting Gao Jin behind the scenes, but according to the investigation, Gao Yuande did not give Gao Jin much, only more than 30 billion RMB."
"As far as I know, the source of Gao Jin's funds is a mystery. I learned at no small cost that Gao Jin has close ties with Stamford Bank in Bermuda."
"This requires your strength."
Li Xing told the truth, if you want to know some secret things in the world, you can only rely on the energy of the American consortium, which is really not that powerful.
"Are you sure he has close ties with Bermuda Stamford Bank?" Sequoia Capital representative Tony asked with a frown.
"I'm sure Gao Jin holds a black card from Stamford Bank," Li Xing said with great certainty.
"You guys talk first, I'll go out and make a phone call."
Tony said something, and everyone laughed and stopped talking. Stamford Bank is one of the hidden major shareholders of Sequoia Capital. Outsiders don't know this, but many people present know it.
Tony is not stupid. Even if you know something well, you still have to be vigilant. Don't look at it and laugh together like old friends. When it comes time to bite you, no one will be soft-spoken.
