Fight to the third generation

Adrian immediately looked at Su Yehao, with some questioning in his eyes, and said in his mouth: "I asked my friends, America Online hopes to use 2000 million US dollars to buy all your shares as a whole, right? Our customers Willing to come out..."

Su Yehao stretched out a finger, pointed upwards, and said something silently.

Today I just wanted to say hello. I didn't expect the other party to be so direct. Su Yehao didn't discuss the asking price in detail with Adrian. He only said that the valuation was around 5000 million US dollars.

Valuation is one thing, actual transaction price is another.

ICQ lost money one after another, and the more it lost, the more people felt that it was really worth so much money. Otherwise, the Silicon Valley giants would have swarmed over there, so how could they give Su Yehao a chance.

Adrian carefully watched Su Yehao's mouth shape, nodded, and said in his mouth: "My client is willing to add 1000 million US dollars. There are no other conditions attached. It will be settled after the transaction. Moreover, after the acquisition, we will treat your existing ones well. employees, AOL just wants to get rid of competitors, they have their own technology, I think you know that too, right?"

Su Yehao understood this kind of simple English.

3000 million U.S. dollars, and his budget is about 5000 million U.S. dollars, which is more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is more expensive than Earl Medical Group, which is not listed.

In just a few days, such an important decision was made, and Su Yehao's blood pressure soared a little at the moment.

I have been thinking about raising money before, but now I am thinking about whether I can make a deal.

ICQ has not yet been listed, which means that once the board of directors approves it, the process can be started directly. Su Yehao currently only has more than 5000 million US dollars to invest, which is far from reaching the amount that needs to be paid.

John Zhou couldn't understand Su Yehao's "poor and destitute" mentality, so after listening to it by his side, he felt nervous and exciting.

A few days ago, he was still thinking about how to make TVT accumulate enough users to help the programmers under him find bugs, and in a blink of an eye, he even started discussing the acquisition of ICQ.

As the company's chief operating officer, how can John Zhou not know how much help TVT will have after winning ICQ, the second child after America Online, even if it only attracts one-tenth of the users to TVT, it will still be enough. There are 70 people, even in Silicon Valley, they are very good, and they are eligible to participate in some forums, parties, and so on.

Hearing the interest expressed by David, the CEO of ICQ, John Zhou was even more excited, and only hoped to hear the other party say "deal".

Unfortunately.

The other party said that he would discuss it with the board members first, and hung up the phone quickly.

……

Transactions are likely to be accelerated.

Adrian was going to prepare negotiation materials, and Su Yehao was going to raise money.

Asking Adrian to clarify the conditions of the leveraged buyout, as well as handling fees and interest, Su Yehao contacted Bank of China’s President Peng again and asked directly if the US$[-] million could be approved, and promised that as long as this cooperation is successful, there will be more cooperation in the future. Help Bank of China get some big business.

People can't narrow the road, they may have to pay at any time, they must be prepared first, and then they contacted the private jet to ask Nong Qingying to return to Hong Kong City to help and then contact several banks.

In addition, Su Yehao also called his father and opened his mouth for [-] million US dollars.

Far away in Las Vegas.

Father Su just fell asleep, and when he heard that he wanted to borrow [-] million U.S. dollars, he was bleary-eyed and angry, and said, "Money, money, money! I thought something happened to you, and I can't wait until tomorrow? Do you know You know, how hard it is for me to sleep well at my age, if you don’t contact me usually, it’s definitely not good to find me, do you think I’m a money printing machine?”

Su Yehao, who was too lazy to explain too much, told me decisively: "Lend me from the company's account, and I will pay you back an extra 5000 million US dollars at the end of the year, help the world, Dad!"

"...Tell me first, why do you want money? If you are kidnapped, just say hello."

"..."

The reason why Su Yehao didn't greet his father was because he was afraid that he would ask questions, so he explained helplessly:

"Acquiring a company worth more than 3 million U.S. dollars, an Internet company, whether our family can become the richest man in Hong Kong City in the future depends on this fight. After sorting out this year, we will be able to make a fortune in the listing early next year. Universal International should have The line of credit, plus the cash on the books are sufficient."

"No, what about your own money? Last time I asked your accountant, there should be less than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, more than 3 million U.S. dollars. Could it be that you paid for it all? You won't be cheated, right?"

Father Su, who was completely sleepless, asked a series of questions very quickly.

Borrowing money will inevitably lead to a disadvantage.

Su Yehao patiently explained carefully for a long time, saying that his money is still useful for the time being, but his father is still worried, so he asked him to go back and talk face to face, and plan carefully.

There are huge differences in investment concepts. Once the two parties discuss it, they may be rejected.

I feel a little regretful about borrowing money, so I might as well think of other ways.

After more than two hours.

Together with Nong Qingying, Su Yehao went to San Francisco Airport by car, and went home to find some change...

Chapter 317 Good news after another ([-])

After more than ten hours of flying, Su Yehao just walked out of the terminal.

The whole body, the whole bone is crisp.

It was the peak tourist season, and there were a lot of tourists at Hong Kong International Airport on Lantau Island. On the wall was a promotional poster of the Ganghao International Travel Group, a joint venture between him, Jiang Shiye and others.

Early stage of business.

In line with the idea of ​​saving what can be saved, the tourism group has not yet found a spokesperson to advertise.

Last time, Master Jiang casually mentioned that he would give Jiang Yu 5 yuan and ask her to help with the filming.

Jiang Yu, who looks harmless to humans and animals, is indeed suitable to be a graphic model. It is rare for her to have a chance to earn pocket money. Su Yehao would not agree.

Thinking of sending Nong Qingying home first, and then returning to the mansion in Big Wave Bay to rest for a while, Su Yehao glanced casually and was surprised to find a familiar face.

I saw a few men and women in formal attire carrying briefcases walking towards him suddenly.

The bodyguards were about to make a move when they saw the leader suddenly bowed, almost ninety degrees, and said loudly:

"Mr. Su! I'm sorry to disappoint you! The chief executive of the head office suddenly intervened, thinking that the risk of this business was too high. I didn't expect it, but we are within our authority and have provided you with another plan! "

You can tell from the uniform apology movements that they are all Japanese.

The one standing at the front is the president of the Hong Kong City Branch of the First Quanye Bank, who had gone back to Tokyo to fight for it a few days ago, but was rejected by his immediate boss. He had dealt with Su Yehao several times before, and his name was Jincheng Xianren.

Passers-by around looked over one by one.

Also, in the tour group from the mainland, a few aunts were whispering, saying that it was indeed the same as in the Hong Kong movie, met a gangster, or something like that.

Being blocked at the airport by people from First Quanye Bank, Su Yehao was wondering how they would know about his itinerary. After thinking about it again, he realized that the private business jet was rented through their bank, and it was not difficult to investigate.

From this point of view, it is very necessary to have a private jet of your own.

This time it's just the bank, so it's hard to guarantee that other people with ulterior motives will not appear, and they will also follow the clues to find out his itinerary.

At this moment, Su Yehao cared more about the phrase "another plan" than being known about his itinerary. He was still upset that the bank didn't take a fancy to his acquisition plan, so he raised his airs and asked, "Oh? With your authority, dare to go against him?"

The branch manager named Jincheng Xianren continued to stand straight and said seriously:

"His thoughts do not represent my thoughts. You are a dreamer with fighting spirit. You are decisive and precise every time you make a shot. I don't think you are the kind of person who will break the contract. No matter what business there is, there will be risks, but I am willing to take a bet with you." Put. ICQ is a good company. I am also very aware of the achievements of TAT chat software. The combination of the two is likely to create a dazzling spark, so our bank has specially prepared an unsecured credit loan of [-] million Hong Kong dollars for you. I hope The previous cooperation can be continued.”

Japanese employees are obedient, capable, serious, and not half-hearted, thinking about changing jobs all day long.

From the perspective of the boss, it is much more worry-free than other places.

The employees in the United States are different. They get off work every day, and they can't pull back. They always talk about trade unions, benefits and security.

As for the employees of Hong Kong City, most of them are rather loose-tempered, chattering all day long in the office, as lively as a tea party.

A middle-aged man like Jincheng Xianren has a typical Japanese employee temperament, and he is so serious that many passers-by around him think they are arguing.

Su Yehao thought to himself that the other party probably heard the news that he was seeking loans from other banks.

Facing a businessman of his level, the bank was indeed at a disadvantage. If Jincheng Xianren did not come to express his sincerity, Su Yehao really did not intend to continue to cooperate with the First Quanye Bank.

Just short of money, and another step down.

therefore.

Su Yehao smiled, and said: "I also think the two companies are very compatible, Mr. Jincheng, you made a smart choice, help me now, and one day in the future, I will recommend you as the president of your head office. The [-] million Hong Kong dollars are useful to me. After I go home and rest, I will prepare the documents first. The acquisition may not be successful for the time being, and I will give you news when the time comes."

President Jincheng Xianren replied with a smile: "If you want to be a great president, you need a lot of resources, and luck is also very important."

"Resources, if you have money, you will have it. When I am worth more than 500 billion U.S. dollars, it will be almost enough."

Casually, Su Yehao's words seemed to be joking, even he himself thought it was a empty promise.

However, after looking for money this time, Su Yehao has already realized the importance of building a good relationship with the bank. It will always be better if more friends help, such as the [-] million Hong Kong dollar credit line, which makes the financial pressure a little less.

……

I haven't found my dad yet.

When Su Yehao returned home, Nangongtian hugged his neck, feeling bored for a while.

When he sat in front of the computer and checked his emails, he found out that Adrian from McKinsey had told him that he had scheduled a formal contact with the directors of ICQ for negotiations next Tuesday.

Adrian also helped to ask the higher authorities that he could be granted a quota of [-] million US dollars for leveraged buyouts.

The monthly interest rate is 1.5%, and the account is transferred from a third-party financial institution. McKinsey is just an intermediary, and also charges some handling fees.

I have to say, it's really dark, with an annual interest rate of 18%, borrowing 600 million US dollars for a year, is [-] million US dollars in interest.

For Su Yehao now, it doesn't matter whether the interest rate is high or not, the most important thing is to be able to borrow money. If the stocks he holds are guaranteed not to change, he can always earn back the money under the booming market of Internet companies.

So without further ado, he directly agreed to the leveraged buyout plan, and told Adrian that the remaining funds were all right, and he would rush back to Silicon Valley in time to participate in the negotiations with ICQ.

After sitting and thinking for a while, Su Yehao contacted Bank of China's President Peng again...

Carrying the fruit plate upstairs, Xiao Nizi was so happy that she hummed a song.

Although Su Yehao only went to the United States for a few days, she felt that she hadn't seen him for a long time, and she had a clingy personality because she liked it.

Seeing Su Yehao put on his golf suit, Xiao Nizi was surprised and said, "Brother Hao, you just came home and are you going out again?"

"Well, I made an appointment with someone from the bank to talk about the loan. Oh, by the way, the acquisition of ICQ is already underway. I haven't told you yet, have I? I was thinking of borrowing money from my dad, but now I'll see. It seems that I can do it on my own, but when it comes to borrowing money, you, Brother Hao, I am a professional."

Nangong Tian curled her lips and told, "It's a pity that I only have a few million dollars, and my mother is too poor to help you. If my family is the same as Zhao Yimeng's, then I can take care of you."

Su Yehao looked at her and said with a smile:

"Her family has been in trouble recently. It's not sure who will help who. Housing prices in Hong Kong City have fallen again. I have seen news of real estate stocks plummeting in the United States..."

Chapter 318 Good news after another ([-])

Nangong Tianfei wanted to follow her to Shi'ao Country Club, and hurriedly changed into her sportswear.

Peaked cap, short sleeves, shorts, sneakers, full of youth, took Su Yehao's arm and walked out.

The purchased land has already started construction. The construction team of Sihai International entered the site at the same time with several excavators and bulldozers. In just a few days, it was almost leveled. The artificial lake dug out had a prototype, and mounds were piled up next to it. .

As soon as he came out of the gate, he happened to meet Jiang Yu.

Xiao Nizi was happy today, and asked her with a smile on her face, "Did you feed the hippo again?"

Jiang Yu nodded, glanced at Su Yehao, and said calmly: "Yes, I bought two big bags of apples for 100 yuan, and they finished eating with a click."

Raising Japanese hippos is dirtier than raising pigs. The two little guys are so good at pulling. No wonder there are news that there are too many hippos in the river, and the fish are smoked to death.

Fortunately, the yard at home is big, so it doesn't affect my life.

Su Yehao, who had lost his sense of novelty about the Japanese hippopotamus, asked Jiang Yu at this time: "Just now at the airport, I saw the poster of the travel company. Last time, your dad mentioned that he asked you to take some photos for promotional advertisements. Did he have any questions?" Didn't contact you?"

"Huh? Is there such a thing?"

Jiang Yu immediately pricked up his ears, and asked with interest, "I'll be a model for you, can I get paid?"

"Of course you can make money. You can contact your father yourself. How about 10 yuan?" Su Yehao has been busy raising more than 3 million US dollars recently, and gradually became numb.

Jiang Yu hadn't reached his level yet, so he immediately smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the company to discuss with him later."

Xiao Nizi smirked, and joked: "Isn't it possible that Jiang Yu's photos will be seen on the bus and on the bus platform? Acting in movies is a test of talent, and being a model is also very good. I think it is very suitable. Skin Good enough to accept a job from a cosmetics company."

After finishing speaking, she reached out and touched Jiang Yu's face, which was delicate, smooth and elastic.

Jiang Yu was still thinking about it, and Fox asked, "It's really going to be posted on the car? Wouldn't that be seen by many people? It's embarrassing."

"Nonsense, advertisements, advertisements, you must put them in places with a lot of people, otherwise who will see them?"

As soon as Su Yehao finished speaking, he continued to ask: "Why are you afraid of embarrassment, the big deal... I'll give you another 5 yuan?"

Jiang Yu stretched out his hand decisively: "Deal! I'll go to my dad to get the money later!"

"..."

……

Big Wave Bay is very close to Shek O Country Club.

When Su Yehao arrived with Xiao Nizi, President Peng was still on the way.

Sit in the lounge, read magazines and drink coffee.

With the credit line provided by First Quanye Bank and the help of McKinsey to find bridge funds, the pressure on Su Yehao's shoulders suddenly eased a lot. The remaining more than 1 million US dollars can be squeezed out casually. Built more than 5000 million US dollars in stock option positions.

Just in response to the saying that the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, if I knew McKinsey could find [-] million US dollars, I would not be so anxious before, but the interest rate is really high, which is a bit deceiving.
