Chapter 812 The price of cabbage (for the leader Cz, 1/10)
Wednesday, January 11th.
In the conference room of Yuanmeng Venture Capital, investors were drinking tea while waiting for the arrival of Mr. Pei.
Many of these investors came from the imperial capital, and I don't know whether it was because of the long journey or other reasons, but their expressions were not very good.
Li Shi tried his best to stir up the atmosphere, but the investors still looked at Meng Chang and wanted to eat him alive.
As for Meng Chang, he had an expression of "it doesn't matter anymore".
It was as if he had been completely burned out. Although the person was here, his mind and soul were nowhere to be found.
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit stiff.
Although out of courtesy, the investors occasionally chatted and exchanged pleasantries, but everyone's faces were gloomy and it could be seen that they were in a bad mood.
This is a reasonable thing. If your money is gone, can you feel better?
Ordinary people will feel pain for several months if they lose a few thousand yuan when buying stocks, and they will hang themselves if they lose hundreds of thousands. However, the money lost by these investors is calculated in millions.
Although investment is risky, and these investors are well aware of it, who would have thought that such a reliable entrepreneur like Meng Chang, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would mess things up?
Meng Chang's cold-faced girl received at least more than 20 million in investment, and after a lot of speculation, the valuation was raised to nearly 300 million. In the end, Meng Chang completely defeated her.
Investors have nothing left in their hands except the shares of the cold-faced girl.
But now that the cold-faced girl has been exposed to various negative news, and Meng Chang has become the person subject to execution, no one will take over this mess again, and these shares are already worthless.
How can these investors not be angry?
Of course, these are business rules. No matter how angry investors are, they can't do anything to Meng Chang. What's more, even if they do anything to Meng Chang, they can't squeeze out money.
As for Meng Chang, he was already lying down.
Although he does not need to be responsible for the investors' money, the investment agreement signed with Mr. Li states that he will be responsible for the cold noodle girl's debts. Now he owes millions to the supplier, and all this money will be accounted for.
of personal debt.
When there was a problem with the capital chain, Meng Chang of course tried his best to find investment in order to save the fate of the cold-faced girl. However, Mr. Pei sold his shares twice, and a series of negative news broke about the cold-faced girl, etc.
Incidents such as this have seriously affected investors' confidence in the cold-faced girl.
The conditions for investors are very strict: if you don’t sign an unlimited joint and several liability agreement, you won’t get a penny.
Meng Chang was in a dilemma, but he definitely couldn't take such hot money, because he knew very well that if he didn't take the money, he would only owe a few million in debt. If he took the money, he would probably owe a debt of several hundred million.
As a result, the longer the delay went on, the more debt there was, and the news didn't break until it became too much to bear.
After becoming the person subject to execution, Meng Chang knew very well that the Cold Noodle Girl brand was over. Now even if Daluo Jinxian reincarnated, it would definitely not be able to save it.
In this case, just pretend to be dead. A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. Anyway, this debt will be paid off slowly, and other investors can do whatever they want.
So the cold-faced girl has actually become a dead end.
As for Li Shi, besides He Desheng, he was the person with the best attitude at the scene.
Li Shi also invested a sum of money, but he invested money for completely different reasons and motivations from other investors.
Li Shi did panic when he heard that the cold-noodle girl was going to be cold, but Mr. Pei expressed his willingness to come forward, which ignited Li Shi's endless confidence.
As long as Mr. Pei doesn't give up completely on a project, it cannot be said to be a complete failure!
The scene remained in such a contradictory and subtle atmosphere, waiting for Mr. Pei's arrival.
Finally, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
The door of the conference room opened. Outside, He Desheng said respectfully to a young man: "Mr. Pei, everyone is here."
Everyone in the conference room stood up immediately and looked at Mr. Pei like a drowning man seeing the last straw.
There are also individual investors who have some special guesses about the time when Mr. Pei will appear.
The investors had obviously arrived in the morning, so why did Mr. Pei specifically set the time in the afternoon? Is there any special meaning in this?
After all, there are too many stories and mysteries about Mr. Pei. Many things that are ordinary and reasonable to others have a special meaning to Mr. Pei.
Pei Qian waved to everyone: "Hello everyone! Please take a seat."
The high-spirited Mr. Pei brought vitality to the previously lifeless conference room.
Investors couldn't help but secretly wonder, what happy event has Mr. Pei encountered to make him so happy?
According to rumors, Mr. Pei has always been a person who keeps his emotions secret. Even when he made hundreds of millions in the Dayak Group, he did not show much happiness.
Today, my face is full of joy. Is it possible that I have made more than 500 million in a certain industry?
The momentum of these investors has been reduced invisibly.
Pei Qian only had one thought in his mind: The exam is finally over!
I took the last closed-book exam this morning. Although my answers were not perfect and I still missed a few knowledge points during the review, I at least got the answers close to ten. I definitely have a passing score, specifically 65 or 70. Then
It depends on God's will.
After studying hard for so long, you are finally relieved. Can you not be happy?
Unconsciously, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, which was noticed by everyone.
Pei Qian didn't care. Anyway, today he just wanted to understand the situation and purchase some junk assets according to the situation so that he could lose money better in the future. It didn't matter what these investors thought.
Pei Qian sat down at the top seat, with Li Shi and He Desheng on the left and right, other investors on both sides of the conference table, and Meng Chang sitting alone opposite President Pei, a bit like interrogating a prisoner.
Li Shi said: "Mr. Pei, let me briefly talk about the current situation of the cold-faced girl."
Listening to Li Shi's story, Pei Qian probably figured it out.
In short, the cold noodle girl ran out of money, could not get more financing, and the money earned by the store was far from enough to support normal operations, so the valuation collapsed and the shares in the hands of investors were worthless.
There is not even a hint of falsehood in these words, and no one dares to deceive Mr. Pei. After all, He Desheng can verify this information with just a little verification.
Deception in front of Mr. Pei will only have the opposite effect, but being open and honest can leave a good impression on Mr. Pei.
Everyone is waiting for Mr. Pei to speak.
The current situation of the cold noodle girl is a dead end in everyone's eyes. It is certain that all losses are lost. Who will continue to throw money into it? Mr. Pei has already made millions through the cold noodle girl and is safe.
Once you have escaped, there is no reason to return to this quagmire.
However, Pei Qian's first words made everyone's jaws drop.
"How many shares of Lengmian Girl do you have? I want them all."
The investors looked at each other in shock. Happiness came too suddenly and they were not mentally prepared for the moment.
Even Meng Chang's blank eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope.
When it comes to shares, it is obvious that Meng Chang, the founder, holds the most shares, but it is useless no matter how many shares no one wants. According to common sense, investors have the first right to sell their shares, and it is not his turn as the founder.
Man. But judging from what Mr. Pei means, it seems that he wants all the shares?
If that's the case, you can sell some of the shares in your hands and regain some health.
Of course, if you sell shares at this time, you will definitely not be able to sell them at the previous valuation. They will probably be sold at a price lower than the cabbage price.
But sell it if you can, and at least pay off part of the debt first.
Now Meng Chang no longer fantasizes about financial freedom. He just wants to reduce his debt.
An investor raised his hand and asked tentatively: "Mr. Pei, at what price do you plan to acquire the shares?"
Pei Qian looked at He Desheng.
He Desheng whispered in Pei Qian's ear: "Mr. Pei, the founder Meng Chang still holds at least 40% of the shares, and Mr. Li holds less than 30%. The current situation of the cold-faced girl, everyone's psychological price will be affected."
It’s very low. A symbolic three to five million should be enough.”
Pei Qian was slightly surprised: "Mr. Li has so many in his hands?"
He Desheng nodded: "Well, Mr. Li recently acquired a small part of the shares at a low price, and the price is also very low."
Pei Qian looked at Li Shi, who smiled back.
Pei Qian was speechless, having a hunch that Li Shi would probably not sell his shares.
But it doesn't matter. Anyway, Mr. Li only holds less than 30% of the shares and has no influence on the control of Cold Noodle Girl. What's more, Pei Qian doesn't think that Cold Noodle Girl can make money in his own hands. This brand
The reputation is completely ruined.
Pei Qian looked around at the crowd and said: "3 million to buy all the shares of Lengmian Girl, but the premise is that I must be able to buy more than 70% of the shares at one time, otherwise I will not buy it."
He didn't waste any more words and directly quoted the lowest price according to the figure given by He Desheng.
According to He Desheng, there is basically no need to save the company Lengmian Girl. Letting it go bankrupt is the most rational choice. But since Mr. Pei wants to buy it, He Desheng, a subordinate, still needs to make an estimate.
A suitable price.
Compared with the peak valuation of Cold Noodle Girl, 3 million is certainly not even a cabbage price. Each of these investors can only get a few hundred thousand at most, which is almost ten times less than the previous investment.
.
But having hundreds of thousands is better than nothing. If they don't sell it, they will never find another buyer, and even hundreds of thousands will be gone.
Of course, if it were any lower, it would be a bit insulting. These investors would probably stop selling out of anger, which would be unsightly.
After Mr. Pei gave the price, these investors looked at each other.
I am definitely dissatisfied with this number, but there is nothing I can do about it. Most people know very well that getting hundreds of thousands is already pretty good.
Mr. Pei's opening directly put them at a lower psychological price point, making them uncomfortable.
There was a glimmer of hope in Meng Chang's eyes: "Mr. Pei, do you want my shares too?"
Pei Qian nodded: "Of course, at this price, anyone will be welcome. But Cold Noodle Girl is the company you founded after all. Are you sure you want to sell it?"
Anyway, they are all at bargain prices, no matter where you buy them from.
Meng Chang nodded immediately: "Sell!"
He is now carrying several million in debt. Although his shares can only be sold for more than one million according to Mr. Pei's bid, which is not enough to repay these debts, but he can repay a little bit.
He originally thought that selling these shares would be enough to achieve financial freedom, but now he only paid off a debt of one million yuan. Meng Chang had mixed feelings in his heart.
Ideals are beautiful, but reality teaches us how to behave.
The other investors have nothing to say. Judging from Meng Chang's attitude, the cold-faced girl is definitely hopeless. These shares are a waste in her hands.
Moreover, Mr. Pei has made it clear that unless he can buy more than 70% of the shares, he will not buy them at all. This also makes investors completely lose the idea of bargaining.
Forget it, just run if you can.
The investors exchanged looks for a few times, and finally accepted it.
Li Shi sold a small part symbolically and kept about 20% in his own hand, while Meng Chang sold all the shares to pay off at least part of the debt first.
It is impossible for a person like Meng Chang to be a deadbeat willingly. He still looks forward to the day when he can pay off all his debts and make a comeback.
