Great Entrepreneur Reborn

Chapter 287: Counting 0x ROI

Liu Jian's going abroad this time has already been planned. He doesn't have a lot of money now, but he wants to set up an investment company and invest in several companies that are now unremarkable and will become popular all over the world in the future.

Before going abroad, Liu Jian brought Bai Wei and Sun Yang to Shenzhen. At this time, Shenzhen is a gold-digging spot that countless people flock to. It won't be long before it will become the most economically developed area in the country. In just a few decades of development, the total economic volume has even surpassed that of Mingzhu, Beijing and other cities with a long history.

Liu Jian's purpose in coming to Shenzhen this time is very simple, he is for a person and an animal. This person just established a company with his classmates in the first year, and launched an instant messaging service at the beginning of the year.

Lao Ma was very injured. The company he formed with his classmates last year did not see any improvement in business this year. The newly launched communication software is very popular in the market, but at this time, the server hosting fee of one or two thousand yuan is too much for the company, so it can only be used everywhere to use other people's servers. At first, it was just an ordinary PC. In the computer room with broadband conditions, and then secretly put the program in someone else's server to run.

Today, Ma Huatong is no longer thinking about whether to sell this software, because he really can’t afford it anymore, thinking of this small start-up company that is about to face bankruptcy, but how much he will sell it for things. But he doesn't have a direct idea of ​​how much the software should be priced, whether it's one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, five hundred thousand, one million.

Just as he was hesitating in the office, the company's front desk called to inform him that someone was looking for him. Ma Huatong frowned and asked, "Who is it?"

The front said: "Boss, they said they are investors, and they have taken a fancy to our communication software."

When Ma Huajiao heard that he was sleepy, he sent a pillow, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up, invite the guests into the meeting room."

After standing in the office and thinking for a while, he called his partner Zhang Zhidong and called him into the office. The two had a brief communication and went to the conference room.

Liu Jian looked at the two people who appeared in front of him. He was really poor now, and he couldn't see the high-spirited appearance of future generations. This was also the most difficult moment for them. It is said that they almost sold the penguin for 600,000 yuan, but the asking price was 1 million, and no one would buy it.

Ma Huatong was also surprised when he saw Liu Jian. This person was too young, and the two shook hands.

Ma Huatong sat across from him, observing Liu Jian, whether he really wanted to buy that communication software, Ma was a little skeptical.

Zhang Zhidong asked quickly, "Do you want to buy our software?"

Liu Jian nodded and said, "I think your software is very interesting. I have this intention. I don't know what price you want."

The two were hesitant. Although the company was very difficult, both of them were very optimistic about instant messaging, and they were reluctant to sell it just like this. But if they missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to find it.

Ma Huatong gritted his teeth and said, "One million."

Liu Jian was secretly happy, it was really this price, and compared to historical times, his expectations were not too high, and it was just listed at this time. Although there were a large number of registrations, he would not have thought that this ugly penguin would be sold in the future. What a huge behemoth. He accounts for more than half of Huaxia's network.

Liu Jian shook his head, and the hearts of the two sank. Although they knew that the price was a bit high, they still had certain expectations.

Ma Huatong asked, "What price can you offer?"

As soon as he said the words, he regretted it very much. This is equivalent to handing over the right to speak to Liu Jian, and he will no longer take the initiative, but there is no way, the current situation of the company is very embarrassing. The user growth is fast, and the investment required to operate Penguin is getting bigger and bigger. He had to go around to raise money some time ago. When I went to the bank, the bank said that it had never heard of a mortgage loan based on the "number of registered users"; when negotiating with domestic investors, most of the other parties were concerned about how many computers and other fixed assets Tencent had.

It has now reached the point where it is almost at the end of its rope.

Liu Jian asked with a smile: "I heard that you went out to solicit investment some time ago, but unfortunately no one is willing to invest, and the lending bank doesn't give you a mortgage, right?"

The two glanced at each other, they didn't expect such a confidential matter to be seen in the eyes. Looking at Liu Jian's eyes has changed, the two have deep fear.

Liu Jian said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm just interested in that communication software. By the way, I investigated the two of you, and I found that you two are talents. In this way, I will give you a chance. You can choose. One is for me to buy." This software, one is that I invest in your company and become a shareholder, which one do you choose?"

The two were taken aback at the same time, but they didn't expect that Liu Jian's shaking of his head was not a rejection, and the matter turned around, and such great good news was placed in front of the two of them.

Ma Huatong discussed with Zhang Zhidong, and they didn't want to miss such a good financing opportunity. After all, this software won't sell much money, and it's hard to say whether it will be able to develop the company. With financing, it is different. With the support of big financial backers, the two of them can let go.

Ma Huatong asked, "I wonder how many shares you want?"

If Liu Jian's asking price is too high, the two will consider selling Penguin, because this company is their painstaking effort, and the two don't want to completely hand over the initiative.

Liu Jian smiled and said, "With 45% of the shares, you still hold the control of the company. I'm only in charge of investment and won't get involved in specific operations. And when the company encounters difficulties, I can continue to invest more."

Although Liu Jian asked for a lot of shares, it was still within the acceptable range of the two people. If it was true that the two people promised by Liu Jian had nothing to worry about.

Although Liu Jian has become a major shareholder from a personal point of view, the combination of the two still holds an absolute controlling stake.

What Ma Huatong is hesitating about now is the price, if even the penguins are not worth one million, how much investment can they get~www.readwn.com~ Looking at Zhang Zhidong, the two of them don't know how to speak.

Now the two are more like engineers than businessmen. They have not been baptized in the mall and don't know how to speak.

Liu Jian took out the checkbook and said, "You tell me a number, as long as it is within my acceptable range, I will sign it to you."

Looking at Liu Jian's checkbook, the eyes of both of them turned green.

Ma Huatong gritted his teeth, and only lowered it when he was too high. Seeing his appearance, he was very sincere.

"Ten million!" Ma Huatong shouted out the number with all his strength.

Zhang Zhidong's hands trembled, what a joke, if 45% of the shares cost 10 million, wouldn't his own company cost more than 20 million. You must know that some time ago, they didn't even have a loan of one million yuan.

Liu Jian frowned, not because the number was too high, but too low. Liu Jian knew that they had received 4 million US dollars from IDG and Yingke Digital, which is 30 million RMB. If less, would it affect the company's development.

Ma Huatong and Zhang Zhidong looked at Liu Jian, their palms were sweating nervously, and Ma Huatong felt a little regretful, whether he asked for too much or scared the other away.

Liu Jian hesitated, wrote a number, and handed it to Ma Huatong. Now that I have decided to invest, and I want these two people to run the company in the future, I can't be stingy. In case they regret it after contacting other investors in the second half of the year, it will not be good if it affects the cooperative relationship between the two parties.

Liu Jian is not a stingy person, he knows when to spend money, now is the time to use money to buy people's hearts, he can't miss it.

Ma Huatong took the check and looked at it together with Zhang Zhidong. The two of them were taken aback for a moment, and then counted to zero. Could it be that they read it wrong. When they were sure that it was that number, the two looked at Liu Jian puzzled.
