Jiang Zhihao looked at Huo Xiaogang and seemed to see something, and asked: "Why, Mr. Huo seems to be going back on his word?"
"It's not that I regret it." Huo Xiaogang laughed dryly and said, "I wonder if Mr. Jiang has ever heard of Ryerson Investment Institution?"
"Of course I have heard of it. Big-name venture capital companies have many good projects and strong financial strength." Jiang Zhihao first briefly talked about the situation of Ryerson Investment Institutions, and then asked: "Why, they are here too.
is you?"
"Yes." Huo Xiaogang nodded, not intending to hide it, and said: "Relson Investment Institution gave us an offer of 30 million US dollars, but only purchased 15% of the shares. In addition, they said that this
This is just the first round of investment. If we think we have greater potential in the future, we will make additional investments. The next investment amount will start at US$100 million, and will increase at least five times in each round! But the shares they acquire will
As the company’s valuation increases, it continues to decrease.”
"In other words, if you can survive until the third round, you can get a total investment of 630 million US dollars from them, and the shares may not exceed 30%?" Jiang Zhihao asked.
"Yes." Huo Xiaogang said: "To be honest, this condition is very tempting, because Ryerson Investment Agency said that they only want dividends and do not require management rights. So even if it is 30%, it will not affect the company.
The normal power structure. And Mr. Jiang, you want to invest 1.5 billion in one time to acquire 51% of our management rights. In comparison, the offer is obviously too low. Although I really want to do it with my own people
business, but the gap between the two sides is too big. As you know, the company is not mine alone. There are many shareholders behind me, many employees to support, and I have great ambitions."
Jiang Zhihao didn't say anything. He was somewhat surprised by the generosity of Ryerson Investment Institution.
The total amount is 30 million US dollars, which is actually nothing special. When converted into RMB, it is only a little over 200 million US dollars.
But they left enough temptations for Huo Xiaogang. Three rounds of investment totaled more than 600 million US dollars, which was more than 3 billion yuan, and they only wanted 30% of the dividend rights and no management rights.
For these companies that are extremely eager to raise funds and expand their company size, such conditions are obviously irresistible.
At least compared to the conditions given by Jiang Zhihao, they couldn't refuse.
Jiang Zhihao thought for a moment and then asked: "So, Mr. Huo thinks, how much money should I pay before you agree to my acquisition plan?"
Huo Xiaogang shook his head and said: "It's hard for me to say this. After all, 30% of the dividend rights and 50% of the management rights are not things that can be easily compared together. If we really want to put a number
, I think 15 billion?”
When this number was said, even the expressions of other people at Xingyu 3D Printing Company changed slightly.
The company's current valuation is only over a billion, but Huo Xiaogang is asking for 15 billion. This is no longer an open mouth, but a clear intention to reject you.
Jiang Zhihao also understood this truth, but he was not angry. People died for money, and birds died for food. These are the same pursuits since ancient times.
There are always some people who think money is garbage, and some people think money is a bad thing, but they seem to deliberately ignore the reality that without money, it is difficult to survive in this world.
Some people who like to be more serious will say that you can go to the deep mountains and old forests to produce and sell yourself, and be a happy landowner.
But how many modern people can survive in the mountains for more than a month without professional training?
Just a variety of poisonous foods that are difficult to identify, and various venomous snakes and beasts can make him die silently.
