Chen Dongcheng breathed a sigh of relief after escaping from the magical city.
Sure enough, women are a species, as long as they want children, no matter how strong a man is, they will be squeezed dry.
"Boss, Mr. Cai is already waiting for you at the hotel."
Xie Jingyu suppressed a smile. This was the first time he saw his boss run away.
"Well, has Peng Xiuqi arrived?"
"Mr. Peng will arrive tomorrow."
"Let's go."
Chen Dongcheng nodded and got directly into the car sent by Grab.
There was no talking all the way until the car arrived at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
At the hotel entrance, there was a row of men and women in suits and leather shoes.
The leader was a young man with a straight back, and next to him stood a woman with short, ear-length hair.
"Ayao, what do you mean when you say Mr. Chen suddenly came over?"
The woman with short ear-length hair is named Chen Huiling. Although she looks ordinary, she has great abilities and is trusted by Cai Bingyao.
At this time, Chen Huiling frowned, obviously thinking about Chen Dongcheng's purpose.
"I don't know, the soldiers will stop me, the water will cover me, but in Grab, no one can replace me, Cai Bingyao!"
Cai Bingyao is full of energy and has developed a convincing demeanor in his movements.
In Malaysia, the power of the Chua family cannot be underestimated.
This is also the key to Grab’s crazy financing and firm control of the company.
"arrive."
When Cai Bingyao saw a black Rolls-Royce Phantom approaching the hotel, he immediately narrowed his eyes, put a gentle smile on his face, and hurried up to meet it.
"Mr. Chen, I missed you a lot after I met you last time. I will definitely stay a few more days this time. I will show you around a lot."
The two have not seen each other for almost more than a year.
Although Cai Bingyao was arrogant, he still admired Chen Dongcheng in his heart.
Compared with him who started from his family background, the man in front of him is truly "self-made" and has built a huge business empire with his bare hands.
"Mr. Cai, you're welcome. Let's chat while we walk."
Chen Dongcheng smiled and waved, and walked side by side into the hotel with Cai Bingyao.
"Mr. Chen."
Other Grab executives bowed to say hello. Except for Cai Bingyao, they could not guarantee whether they would be replaced.
"Don't be cautious, everyone."
Chen Dongcheng smiled lightly and waved his hands, not too enthusiastically.
This is not the country, nor is it his company. To win people's hearts in front of Cai Bingyao, what does Cai Bingyao think?
With the power of the Cai family in Malaysia, the entire floor of the presidential suite was booked, which gave Chen Dongcheng enough face.
The dinner was also quite sumptuous. It is said that it was hand-made by the best chef in Malaysia, and the taste and ingredients were unparalleled.
But everyone knows that with the status of the person in front of me, it is impossible to come to Malaysia without a reason.
When they returned to the presidential suite after having dinner and wine, only Cai Bingyao and Chen Huiling were around Chen Dongcheng.
Cai Bingyao is similar to Chen Dongcheng's position in the company and is a spiritual leader.
The one who really did the work was Cai Bingyao’s close friend from college, Chen Huiling.
"Mr. Cai, I heard that Toyota has plans to invest in Grab?"
Chen Dongcheng was not in a hurry to express his intention, but instead asked a seemingly irrelevant question.
"We have this plan, and we are already discussing the specific valuation. Toyota is quite sincere and has given a valuation of close to 10 billion U.S. dollars, but the specific investment ratio has not yet been determined."
Cai Bingyao said while thinking about it.
He didn't hide it because there was no need.
It involves billions of dollars of investment, and it is impossible to hide it from the outside world.
"Mr. Cai, the main purpose of my visit this time is to sell the equity I hold. I wonder if you are interested in buying it back?"
Chen Dongcheng's eyes lit up slightly and he went straight to the point.
"What?"
Cai Bingyao stood up, his expression no longer as calm as before.
"Mr. Chen, why don't you think more about it?" Chen Huiling couldn't help but persuade.
You know, the proportion of shares held by Chen Dongcheng is not small.
Such a large equity transaction will cause turmoil for the company.
"You two, I am here this time because I want to sincerely discuss this matter with you. I don't want Grab's valuation to fluctuate because of my withdrawal."
"Since Toyota intends to increase its investment in the taxi-hailing software market, and I intend to take action, isn't this a good thing?"
Chen Dongcheng spread his hands, but his attitude was firm.
"I'm afraid it's only good for you."
Cai Bingyao sneered inwardly, but his mind started working quickly.
He is considering whether to let Toyota eat up the equity held by Chen Dongcheng.
They have indeed cooperated with Toyota several times.
For example, in the process of developing Internet services, they used Toyota's data transmission driving recorder TransLog to collect driving data.
Since that cooperation, Toyota has gradually taken notice of this taxi-hailing company, which is similar to Didi.
The Southeast Asian market cannot be underestimated, and Toyota is increasingly interested in Grab.
Even though Toyota is one of the world's top automobile manufacturing companies, it is always worried about its future development. Faced with the trend of shared mobility, it is not surprising that it spends heavily to pave the way.
"In this case, Mr. Chen, please give me some time. I'll go back and think about it carefully. I'll give you a reply within three days. Do you think that's okay?"
Cai Bingyao didn't dare to make decisions without authorization. This might involve the lifeblood of the company. He had to go back to a meeting to study it carefully before making a decision.
"Okay, I'll wait for Mr. Cai's good news."
Chen Dongcheng smiled and nodded, watching Cai Bingyao and Chen Huiling leave with deep thoughts.
Walked out of the suite and entered the elevator.
Cai Bingyao frowned and turned to ask Chen Huiling: "How many shares does Mr. Chen hold now?"
"11.34%."
"so much?"
Cai Bingyao raised his eyebrows and asked again: "How many votes did he make in total?"
"$135 million."
Chen Huiling said with some emotion: "Since the last capital injection of 100 million US dollars accounting for 40% of the shares, Mr. Chen has allowed the equity to be continuously diluted."
"He made a lot of money."
Cai Bingyao couldn't help but smile bitterly. He and Chen Huiling had been busy for so long and did not hesitate to use their family connections. In the end, it was the outsiders who gained the most!
Although it is uncomfortable, this is the reality.
Without the power of capital, Grab would not be able to grow at all.
Even Grab’s first investment was made through the relationship between Cai Bingyao’s mother.
To put it bluntly, no one was optimistic about Cai Bingyao at the beginning, and the investment was just to please his mother.
"Huh, let's be like this. We signed the agreement and we can't stop Mr. Chen from selling the shares. He can give us notice in advance, which is enough to show mercy to us."
Cai Bingyao gritted his teeth and said to Chen Huiling beside him: "I can help me make appointments with Toyota people. I can let them get Mr. Chen's equity, but they must fully support me."
"Okay, there should be no problem. Toyota still approves of you. I will negotiate with them."
Chen Huiling thought about it and felt that there should be no problem.
"Capital, capital."
Cai Bingyao sighed and left the hotel with Chen Huiling.
Chen Dongcheng stood by the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel, holding a glass of champagne and quietly watching the two people leaving in the car.
He had foreseen their surrender.
The power of capital makes you fearful and close at the same time!
