Shenhao starts from the lottery of 1 million

The valuation of US$500 million really shocked Niu Qiangdong. He thought that US$300 million would be pretty good.

The valuation of US$500 million has exceeded the previous valuation of US$45 million by ten times.

If you sell 2% of the shares, you will have million US dollars in development funds. Then you will have enough funds to make the company bigger and stronger, and even overtake Anjing Online Supermarket soon. It is not impossible. matter.

After Niu Qiangdong heard the valuation of US$500 million, he couldn't help but get too excited. He thought, let alone 40% of the shares, even if he had 100% of the shares, he would be willing to sell the entire company to you. ah!

At worst, it would be enough to start a new business with US$500 million and create a new Qiangdong Company.

However, Niu Qiangdong just thought about it, and soon he calmed down. The other party obviously had no intention of directly acquiring Qiangdong Company.

Niu Qiangdong is also very confident about the future development prospects of Qiangdong Company.

Although the current actual value of Qiangdong Company is still far from the valuation of US$2 million, but with US$ million in development funds, he believes that the company's valuation of US$ billion will not be too far away. .

But if the company develops in the future, selling 40% of the company's shares would be a bit too much and would be very detrimental to the company's equity structure.

"Mr. Chen! If I sign a gambling agreement with your company, I don't know if your company is willing." Niu Qiangdong thought for a while and said.

If you want to obtain more company development funds but don't want to sell too many shares, the only way is to sign a gambling agreement with the other party.

"Betting agreement?" Chen Xuejiao asked in surprise.

"Yes, if our Qiangdong Company overtakes Anjing Online Supermarket within a certain period of time, then the US$200 million you invested in Chengdong Company will only account for 20% of the shares." Niu Qiangdong explained.

"If we fail to overtake Anjing Online Supermarket within the stipulated time, then your company will hold 40% of the shares."

"Mr. Niu! I don't think we need to sign some kind of gambling agreement with Mr. Niu!" Chen Xuejiao shook her head and said.

"Our boss did not say that we must obtain 1500% of Qiangdong Company's shares. Twenty percent is also acceptable. We only need to invest US$ million."

"Thirty percent of the shares is enough, but we only need to invest 60 million US dollars. Our boss has never thought about getting 40% of the shares. This will actually affect the future of Qiangdong Company. , is not a good thing, but will be full of many uncertain factors.”

"But if Mr. Liu really wants to sell 40% of the company's shares, we can accept it, but there is no need to sign any gambling agreement."

"Our boss believes that even if there is no gambling agreement, Mr. Niu will go all out to develop Qiangdong Company better."

Niu Qiangdong was a little disappointed when he heard that the other party didn't want to sign a gambling agreement, but he thought it was normal, so he didn't dwell on anything anymore, and the two parties started formal negotiations.

Chen Xuejiao had already ordered her team to do a good job of back-up work, and had a clear grasp of all the data of Qiangdong Company, especially the financial data.

After all, if it wants to get investment from investors, Qiangdong Company is obliged to cooperate with the investors' back-up work and provide as many detailed and real data as possible.

Of course, investment negotiations must be based on various data, and negotiations should be conducted on this basis.

After weighing the pros and cons, Niu Qiangdong chose to sell 30% of the company's shares in exchange for an investment of US$60 million. The company's Series A investment shareholder Qi Xin had no objection to this.

Due to the significant increase in the company's market value, although Qixin's shares have been diluted, they actually do not suffer a loss and are even more valuable.

Although Hualong Investment Company seems to have suffered a bit temporarily, Yi Anguo does not feel that it has suffered a loss. Instead, he thinks that he has made a lot of money.

Although the emergence of Jingjing Online Supermarket will be a big variable for Qiangdong Company, Yi Anguo feels that although the impact will be there, it should not be very big. Just like Pinxixi in the future, Qiangdong Company The position is still very solid.

The domestic market is so big that if one more company competes, it won't be a problem.

At this time, in Magic City, an online supermarket called No. 1 has also been launched, and it is developing very fast.

Chen Xuejiao was extremely busy, appearing in one start-up company after another, investing in these companies, and the conditions and valuations offered were difficult for the entrepreneurs of these companies to refuse, so they all chose to accept Hong Kong Hualong Investments by investment companies.

Accompanied by Zhou Mengdie, Yi Anguo met Ma HuaTian, ​​the founder of Penguin Company.

Ma Hua hurts his appearance and looks very elegant. He is wearing a pair of glasses and looks somewhat elegant. He is wearing a suit but no tie, so he actually looks quite handsome.

Ma Hua Tong's impression of Yi Anguo has always been that of a low-key and steady tech otaku who doesn't like to be too public, and who works on technology in a low voice and makes a lot of money in a low voice.

Ma Hua Tong was quite conceited at first. She felt that she was only thirty-seven years old and was already the boss of a listed company and a billionaire.

But after meeting Yi Anguo, he felt a little bit shocked. He no longer had any sense of superiority in front of Yi Anguo.

Because Yi Anguo is younger than him and his net worth is higher, much higher.

Although Penguin has a market value of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars, Mahuatong only accounts for about 15%, and it is only worth billion U.S. dollars at most.

Yi Anguo holds 100% of Hualong Investment Company. Hualong Investment Company has invested in Huaxing Technology Company and Anjing Online Supermarket. Although the shareholding is not 100%, it is still as high as more than 80%.

Although these two companies are not listed, their combined valuation is worth billions of dollars.

Now he has to spend another 2.5 billion US dollars to invest in his Penguin company. Is it still necessary to compare?

After talking, Ma Huatong told Yi Anguo that after his persuasion and the global financial crisis, the South African company happened to need a sum of money, so it was willing to sell 16% of Penguin's shares.

In addition, Penguin has no financial needs for the time being, so there is no financing plan to sell the company's shares. However, several of the company's founder shareholders also intend to sell 5% of Penguin's shares.

This adds up to a 21% stake in the entire Penguin Company, with a total value of approximately US$2.1 billion.

The specific price is the average stock price in the previous 20 trading days when the share transfer agreement is signed, plus a premium of 25%.

It's like Mahuatong and his entrepreneurial team each gave % of their shares.

However, there are conditions for their transfer of these shares, that is, Penguin Company must invest in Anjing Online Supermarket.

Penguin plans to merge Penguin's own e-commerce company into Jingjing Online Supermarket for free, and open the Penguin QQ port for free to attract traffic to Jingjing Online Supermarket.

In addition, there is a real cash investment of one billion U.S. dollars, which requires a 20% stake in Jingjing Online Supermarket.

One billion US dollars accounts for 50% of the shares, which is equivalent to giving Jingjing Online Supermarket a valuation of US$ billion.

A valuation of US$50 billion is already quite a lot. Although Jingjing Online Supermarket is indeed developing very fast, in the two years since its establishment in 2006, the total investment has definitely not exceeded US$50 billion, so this valuation It is relatively reasonable and reflects Penguin's sincerity.

What's more, several e-commerce companies under Penguin Company have also been packaged and merged into Anjing Online Supermarket. No matter how you look at it, Anjing Online Supermarket has not suffered a loss.

Moreover, Anjing Online Supermarket can also obtain other benefits, that is, advertising traffic from Penguin QQ.

All Penguin QQ users can directly click on the port link of Jingjing Online Supermarket on Penguin QQ and jump directly to the page of Jingjing Online Supermarket. It is very convenient to browse the supermarket online and place orders for shopping.

And this is what Yi Anguo values ​​most.

There are hundreds of millions of Penguin QQ users across the country, and they are still growing rapidly, so the traffic is naturally very strong.

As for the development bottleneck that Anjing Online Supermarket currently faces, the biggest problem is traffic.

With the traffic support of Penguin QQ, it will definitely play an even more powerful role in the development of Quiet Online Supermarket.
