An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 207 Is there such a good thing?

For Lin Jun, Zhang Tao can be said to have unconditional trust.

This unconditional trust comes not only from Lin Jun's excellent strategic vision and ability to manipulate capital in the palm of his hand, but also because he knows in his heart that without the help of Yunmeng Group, it is impossible for him to leave to this point today.

Now that Modern Bicycle and Yunmeng Group are in the same camp, it is impossible for Lin Jun to deceive himself.

However, that being said, this trip to Shenzhen did not go well.

Unlike the previous few times, as shared bicycles appeared more and more frequently in the news, this time they were interviewed by Liu Zhiping, the boss of Sea Lion Group.

Mr. Liu, who is well-known in the Internet industry in Xiaguo, spoke in a gentle and undeniable tone after quietly listening to Lin Jun's description of the prospect of shared bicycles.

...To be honest, you are indeed a very good company, and we are really optimistic about the future performance of the sharing economy. A mature team is easier than a newly established grass-roots team, both in terms of ability and understanding of the industry. You are credible, so of course we are more inclined to acquire you than other startups.”

Hearing this sentence, Zhang Tao lost his temper immediately, and excitedly wanted to say that the cooperation is happy, but he was stopped by Lin Jun with a dignified expression.

So, is it an acquisition?

That's right. Satisfied with the young man's savvy, Liu Zhiping nodded with a slight smile, and continued, Because it's important, we need absolute control.

The 67% stake is the bottom line. We will not dictate your team's business strategy, but we must retain this power. If you can accept it, we are willing to spend 1.5 billion.

1.5 billion for 67% of the shares.

Compared with the original 500 million for 30% of the shares, it has given a lot of room for a premium. However, 67% of the shares means that the start-up team will completely lose control of the modern bicycle, and will completely entrust life and death to the other party.

The expression on Zhang Tao's face was obviously hesitant, and so was Lin Jun who was sitting beside him.

Taking a deep breath, he said.

We need to reconsider.

Liu Zhiping nodded.

Of course, but I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible.

After all, we also have our own plans in the bike-sharing business. Establishing a new company to carry out related businesses is also one of our options.

In the last sentence, there is a bit of pressure in it.

It doesn't matter if you don't accept it, the big deal is that we, like other Internet giants, can just re-establish a company or buy a team that is willing to accept financing to enter the game...

After coming out of the building of Sea Lion Group, Lin Jun looked at the blue sky and white clouds above his head and sighed leisurely.

Sorry, I thought it must be done this time, but I didn't expect to talk about it later.

It's okay, Zhang Tao shrugged helplessly, No one can predict this kind of thing, let's talk about it when we go back.

Handing over control is out of the question.

Just as the Sea Lion Group cannot fully trust them, they cannot fully trust the Sea Lion Group either.

If the other party acquires the past, turn around and let them die on the ground, and then make another move to transfer the user base of Modern Bike to their newly established Sea Lion Bike or WeChat Bike, then there will be no place to cry reasoning.

After all, they have said from the very beginning that 67% of the shares are the bottom line of a strategic investment, and what they want is the absolute control over Modern Bicycle! For such harsh conditions, both Zhang Tao and Lin Jun fell silent!

...

The plane flew back to Jiangcheng from Shenzhen City, ending the short day trip.

Lin Jun, who was sitting in the coffee shop under the office building in the Entrepreneurship Park in the south of the city, reported the results of this trip to Shenzhen to Hao Yun who was sitting across the table.

However, after listening to Lin Jun's statement, Hao Yun had a different expression on his face.

...That is to say, this time when you go to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, Sea Lion Group overturned the previous financing plan and plans to offer 1.5 billion in exchange for 67% of the shares?

Lin Jun said with a sigh.

Yes.

Hao Yun simply calculated and continued.

I remember that 500 million was exchanged for 30% in the past. Isn't this new financing plan more?

It seemed no surprise that Hao Yun would say such a thing, Lin Jun smiled wryly, shook his head and said.

It's not that simple...Once we accept this agreement, we will lose control of Modern Bicycle. As long as Sea Lion Group has an idea, they can parachute a management team to Modern Bicycle at any time and kick the start-up team directly. Get out and take over the business.

Having said that, Hao Yun didn't think there was anything bad about it at all.

When he first invested in modern bicycles, he was rushing to lose the 20 million yuan, but he did not expect that it would snowball and now he has become a behemoth with a fund pool of hundreds of millions and a valuation of billions.

If Sea Lion Group is willing to take over the offer, of course he is willing to sell his shares to them without hesitation.

Mr. Lin.

Hearing the boss calling him, Lin Jun, who was staring at the coffee worryingly, raised his head.

What's the matter, boss?

Hao Yun thought for a while and said.

I think... sometimes the timing of leaving is more important than the timing of entering.

Is the timing of the exit more important than the timing of the entry?

Lin Jun was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding what Mr. Hao was talking about.

Hao Yun paused for a moment, but just when he was about to further explain the meaning of this sentence, a rude laughter came from not far away.

Haha! I wanted to go up to visit you, but you happened to be drinking coffee downstairs, which saved me time.

Hearing the voice from the side, Hao Yun and Lin Junqi searched for the source of the sound, only to see a man in a formal suit with a beer belly and a leather bag in his hand walking not far away.

Looking at the unrestrained and unrestrained pace, Hao Yun was stunned for a moment, and after confirming that his gaze was on his side, he collected himself and asked.

Who are you?

The man lifted his chin slightly, and a fleshy smile opened at the corner of his mouth.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Ma Youtian, the chairman of Youtian Network. You should have heard of my name.

Hao Yun: ...?

Well.

who?

Compared to Hao Yun who had a question mark on his face, Lin Jun's face was full of embarrassment.

Uh, Mr. Ma?

That's right, it's me, Ma Youtian laughed, staring at Lin Jun with piercing eyes and said, Xiao Lin, Xiabei Animal Husbandry is really thanks to you!

Hearing this sentence, the expression on Lin Jun's face became even more embarrassing.

The client who was sent to the rooftop by him was the one in front of him.

Although Xiabei Animal Husbandry restored its value later, and the stock price did rise to more than 100, this Ma Youtian also walked down from the rooftop, but Mr. Lin, who has always regarded this incident as a lesson, has once again since that incident. I haven't even looked for this boss.

On the one hand, his mentor has banned him from contacting his clients in private, and on the other hand, he is really embarrassed to comment.

Now it seems that Mr. Ma probably held the stock of Xiabei Animal Husbandry, and he didn't ship until it was more than 100 yuan. Judging from the amount of money he invested at that time, doubling his worth would be an understatement.

You're welcome, you're welcome. The investment advice is for reference only. It's your own ability to make a fortune, and it has nothing to do with me. Lin Jun coughed lightly and said guiltily.

Looking at Lin Jun with a modest face, Ma Youtian liked it more and more.

Finally couldn't bear it anymore, he didn't care that Hao Yun was sitting aside, and said directly in the tone of a nouveau riche.

Brother Lin's words are wrong. Without your guidance, I would not be as relaxed as I am today. I have thought about it, it is too inferior to let you work in such a small company! In this way, you come to our friend Tian Network, I will give you double the annual salary that Yunmeng Group pays you!

The moment the voice fell, Lin Jun's face changed slightly.

Twice the salary?

Who the hell do you take me for? !

Is it a matter of money!

The same goes for Hao Yun.

But in comparison, his face was mostly surprised, and there was even a subtle surprise in his eyes.

Fuck? !

And this good thing? !
