Chapter 275
After hanging up the phone, Lu Xingsheng and Li Feng went downstairs and returned to the gazebo.

While drinking tea, Lu Xingsheng took out his phone, found a name named Pan Huiyun, and dialed it.

"Hello, hello!" A slightly magnetic voice came from inside.

"Hi Mr. Pan, I'm Lu Xingsheng, the general manager of 'Diesheng Investment Company', I heard that your Yuanwei News Network is starting the first round of financing?" Lu Xingsheng asked.

"Yes! Mr. Lu always wants to participate in the first round of investment for our website?" Pan Huiyun was pleasantly surprised. Yuanwei News Network's A round of financing has been launched for several months, and there has been no major progress.For this matter, he has already scratched his head.

Without sufficient funds, Yuanwei News Network could not develop at all.However, if Internet companies do not develop, they will face elimination.

"I wonder what Mr. Pan's valuation of Yuanwei News Network is?" Lu Xingsheng asked.

Pan Huiyun hesitated for a moment. Although Yuanwei News.com was a media website with a very low barrier to entry and no core competitiveness, after several years of hard work, he was barely able to make ends meet.This is stronger than most of the media sites of the same level.

The first round of financing has always been difficult to achieve, not because Yuanwei News has no investment value, but because his valuation of Yuanwei News is relatively high, reaching 1000 million US dollars.

He felt that Yuanwei News Network was worth the price.

Therefore, in anticipation of the first round of financing, he wanted to release about 30.00% of the shares and inject $500 million into the website.

Unfortunately, those investment companies all felt that his valuation was seriously high.Especially for some small investment companies, when they heard his valuation, they immediately hung up the phone and didn't bother to talk about it.

After thinking about it, Pan Huiyun changed his strategy and put the valuation aside for now, and introduced: "Our original news website can already achieve a balance of income and expenditure. Although the traffic is not large, the forwarding and sharing rate of news on our website is very high. Very high, which means that our content has been recognized by users. As long as the funds are sufficient, according to my plan, I will try my best to build an APP. I have enough confidence to develop it into a top-ranking APP in three years. Thirty news apps. After three years, we will launch the B round of investment. I believe that the valuation of Yuanwei News.com will reach more than 5000 million US dollars..."

Pan Huiyun talked wildly for a long time, while Lu Xingsheng remained silent and drank tea with Li Feng leisurely.

This made Pan Huiyun a little suspicious. This Lu always wasn't really listening to his introduction.

After talking for more than ten minutes at a stretch, Pan Huiyun, who felt a bit like playing a stand-alone game, finally stopped, and he muttered: "In the first round of financing, I valued Yuanwei News at $1000 million."

"Boss Pan is very courageous." Lu Xingsheng smiled.

Pan Huiyun was not surprised but delighted. Lu Xingsheng's reaction was ten times stronger than those investors who hung up the phone directly.This attitude at least shows that there is still hope.

He took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Lu, our website is in contact with internationally renowned investment companies such as Softbank and IDG, and hopes that the first round of financing will be led by them. Although due to valuation reasons, we have not reached an agreement yet. But this is only a matter of time. Being able to win the favor of internationally renowned investment companies such as Softbank and IDG undoubtedly proves the development potential of our Yuanwei News Network..."

Lu Xingsheng couldn't help laughing. To be an Internet company, one must either have good technology or content, or be good at bragging and storytelling, or both.If you have both, as long as you have a little more luck, the possibility of soaring into the sky is extremely high.Only one of them, unless you are very lucky, at best you can only guarantee that the website will barely be eliminated.

This Boss Pan, as shown in his survey data, is good at making content, but he is a bit inferior in bragging and storytelling.

At the very least, the awesomeness that Mr. Pan boasted made him feel stiff.

Taking advantage of Pan Huiyun's panting time, Lu Xingsheng said, "I don't intend to follow suit."

"President Lu wants to lead the investment?" Pan Huiyun was stunned, feeling a little embarrassed.If the leading investment companies are those well-known international investment companies, it will not only prove the development potential of Yuanwei News Network, but also a big news that can greatly increase the popularity of Yuanwei News Network.

Moreover, well-known international investment companies more or less hold a certain amount of shares in major Internet companies, and their network resources are extremely extensive.If you can lead the investment in Yuanwei News Network, you can use some network resources to some extent, which will be extremely beneficial to the future development of Yuanwei News Network.

An unheard of investment company is the lead investor. I am afraid that no investment company is willing to follow the investment.

"I don't want to lead the investment, but I want to acquire Yuanwei News Network." Lu Xingsheng said indifferently.

"Acquisition?" Pan Huiyun was stunned.

"USD 1000 million to acquire 90.00% of the shares of Yuanwei News Network. Mr. Pan occupies [-]% of the shares. He is also the president of Yuanwei News Network and has decision-making power. 'Die Sheng Investment Company' has the power to lead the next round of financing and will not interfere. Yuanwei News Network only has a certain right to make suggestions on any matter," Lu Xingsheng explained.

"This..." Pan Huiyun was immediately confused.

Yuanwei News Network is his painstaking effort and dream for many years, if he still has the decision-making power.Otherwise, let alone 1000 million US dollars, even if it is 2000 million US dollars, he will refuse without hesitation.

Lu Xingsheng smiled lightly: "In addition, Mr. Pan's shares remain unchanged. Within one month, I will inject no less than 2000 million US dollars into Yuanwei News.com. Within half a year, the injected capital will be no less than 5000 million US dollars. Within five years Inside, there is no need for Yuanwei News Network to generate any profit.”

Pan Huiyun was a little dazed.

How optimistic do you have to be to Yuanwei News Network to propose such an acquisition plan?

You know, the probability of being eliminated by small Internet companies is extremely high.Even those large investment companies cannot invest tens of millions of dollars in a small Internet company.

Like those large investment companies, even if they are extremely optimistic about a small Internet company, they usually spend several million dollars to obtain [-] to [-]% of the Internet company's shares first.

When the Internet company has gained a firm foothold and started the second round of financing, it will act as the lead investor and invest more funds in, trying to keep the stock share on hand, or get more shares.

Then the third round, the fourth round, the fifth round... will decide whether to participate in financing based on the development and potential of the Internet company during that period.

If the Internet company goes bankrupt or is merged and acquired by other Internet companies, it means that the investment has failed.If the Internet company is successfully listed, it will be the season to sell shares and start harvesting.If there is still a very high potential for development or dividends after listing, it is a big profit.

There are very few investment companies that directly acquire the other party and inject a large amount of funds like Lu Xingsheng.This kind of acquisition of a certain website often happens only among Internet companies, in order to enrich their own ecological chain and expand traffic.

"I can't seem to refuse..." After a long time, Pan Huiyun smiled bitterly.

5000 million US dollars, plus no need for any profits within five years, this will allow him to completely let go and move forward boldly towards his dream.

The only regret is that one day his dream will come true, but Yuanwei News.com does not belong to him.At that time, his share in Yuanwei News Network, which had gone through several rounds of financing, might not even be [-]%.

Capital is so powerful and domineering.

"It seems that we have reached a consensus." Lu Xingsheng said with a smile: "I believe that under the leadership of Mr. Pan, Yuanwei News.com will definitely become one of the large portal websites."

"But by that time, Yuanwei News Network will no longer belong to me..." Pan Huiyun's mood was a little low. It was like a family that was too poor to take the blame. Suddenly a wealthy family came and said that they wanted to adopt their children as adopted sons. It’s like going back and cultivating him well.He was happy for his children, but sad for himself.

"Relevant details require Mr. Pan to come to Cangnan City for an interview. I hope the acquisition can be completed within a day or two."

Lu Xingsheng could understand Pan Huiyun's mood at the moment, but he didn't say much.

Capital is a crocodile with its mouth wide open, and it has always been cruel and bloody.If it wasn't for the urgent time, he wouldn't have offered Pan Huiyun such a generous offer directly.Only bite by bite, with the smallest cost, slowly swallow the original news network into the stomach.

"Cangnan City?" Pan Huiyun was a little surprised and said, "President Lu, why don't you come to inspect the company's operating conditions and financial data?"

"In this regard, I will ask my assistant to go."

Lu Xingsheng shook his head, Zhang Yudie had difficulty moving.He has invested in so many enterprises and companies, but he has never left Cangnan City once.

"Row!"

Pan Huiyun nodded and agreed.
