I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 222 My penguin is for sale, will you buy it?

When they arrived in Silicon Valley, they first sent Zhang Jing to the location, and then Dong Meilan sent Lin Xiao and Lan Yumo to the hotel.

It was already evening, and after eating something in the hotel restaurant, Dong Meilan said goodbye and left.

Lin Xiao was going to stay in Silicon Valley for a few days, and Dong Meilan was an old workplace, so naturally she would not choose this time to report to Lin Xiaolai who was tired from the journey.

After Dong Meilan left, Lin Xiao and Lan Yumo also went back upstairs. Their room was actually quite similar to the room in Yanjing, with two pairs of doors.

Presumably, Dong Meilan specially chose it for the convenience of communication between the two.

Thinking of going to meet with investment institutions tomorrow, Lin Xiao took the initiative to say to Lan Yumo:
"Teacher Lan, it's still early, why don't you sit in your room and talk about tomorrow's affairs?"

Lan Yumo nodded slightly, and the two entered Lan Yumo's room together.

"Teacher Lan..."

When Lin Xiao said this, he paused slightly, and then said to Lan Yumo:
"It is estimated that there are still many things to communicate during this time. In front of unfamiliar outsiders, I can't always call you Teacher Lan, or I can just call you Yumo."

Lan Yumo looked at Lin Xiao with cold eyes, and before she could speak, Lin Xiao had already said:
"Yumo, let's take a look at the information of the four investment institutions tomorrow."

It made Lan Yumo feel a little strange to be called by a boy like Lin Xiao who was several years younger than him, especially because this person was still her student.

However, Lin Xiao yelled so naturally, as if they were of the same age, which made Lan Yumo feel the urge to roll his eyes for the first time.

Really thick skin.

But this call has already been made, and Lan Yumo can't say anything more.

After finding four documents from the suitcase and handing them to Lin Xiao, Lan Yumo said to Lin Xiao:

"These four institutions are more interested in the shares of China.com, and they are more powerful institutions. The value of the shares of China.com you hold is so high now, and institutions that are not strong enough can't afford it."

Lin Xiao listened, pondered for a while, and then said to Lan Yumo: "I'm afraid it's just these few investment institutions that can't handle it alone."

"According to my judgment, if the agreement on Huaxia's accession to the WTO is really reached, the increase in the share price and market value of China.com will be astonishing."

"The range you said is astonishing. How much is it estimated?" Lan Yumo couldn't help asking at this time.

Lin Xiao replied: "Maybe it can reach more than 75%."

After Lan Yumo heard this, an expression of disbelief appeared on that captivating face, "Can it reach such a high level?"

The current market value of CDC has reached 40 billion yuan, if it rises by 75%, what kind of concept is that?

"Yes! It may be more than that." Lin Xiao said confidently.

The market value of China.com has reached 40 billion yuan, which is much higher than that of the previous life. Before the stock price soared in the previous life, China.com was around 28 billion.

However, Lin Xiao believes that the capital market will not be conservative in the next surge because of the high market value of China.com.

On the contrary, Nasdaq is still in a frenzy at this time, and the over-expected expression after the listing of China.com is very likely to further stimulate the capital market and investors, so Lin Xiao feels that the figure of 75% is probably still guaranteed.

Lan Yumo said again at this time: "If we assume that the market value of China.com will increase by 75% tomorrow, I am afraid that none of these investment institutions will agree. This premium is too high."

"It's okay, let's talk first." Lin Xiao said with a smile.

Immediately, Lin Xiao turned to Lan Yumo and said, "Yumo, if the stock price of China.com really rises to 75%, is it possible for us to propose a premium increase?"

"It's unlikely." Lan Yumo shook his head, "Because the short-term surge in stock price is itself an aspect that the market is optimistic about the company's market value premium."

Lin Xiao immediately understood Lan Yumo's explanation.

However, even if it is based on 75%, Lin Xiao is satisfied.

40 billion yuan, an increase of 75%, that is 70 billion yuan, which is a full 50 ​​billion yuan higher than the 20 billion yuan in the previous life.

"Okay, then let's talk about the market value of 70 billion yuan tomorrow."

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, Lan Yumo nodded slightly. She had expected that the negotiation might not go smoothly, or even be pleasant.

After all, at present, Lin Xiao's asking price is too high.

However, Lin Xiao is a share holder, and the other party has always been so convinced that China's accession to the WTO will be successful, and the impact on China.com's stock price will be so great.

With Lan Yumo's temperament, she is unlikely to try to persuade Lin Xiao too much, and the price will be lowered later if the negotiation fails.

"Ding dong ding dong ding dong..."

At this moment, Lin Xiao's cell phone rang.

Lin Xiao didn't think too much, just picked up the phone and connected it.

"Mr. Lin, hello."

As soon as the other party spoke, Lin Xiao immediately recognized that this was Penguin's brother Ma.

"Mr. Ma, hello."

When he finished speaking, Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat. It's November. Brother Xiaoma in his previous life had just experienced a shortage of funds at this point in time, and he persisted for more than two months.

And in this life, the development of OICQ has been influenced by his own side, but it has accelerated a lot. Could it be that the other party can't support it now?
Just when Lin Xiao was thinking this way, Brother Xiao Ma had already said on the other end of the phone:
"Mr. Lin, I'm calling this time to ask, if my OICQ is for sale, are you interested in buying it?"

After hearing this, Lin Xiao was immediately refreshed, and finally came!

From the first day he met Brother Xiao Ma, Lin Xiao has been constantly impressing him, that is, he knows the Internet very well, is very interested in instant messaging, and at the same time has sufficient funds.

The reason is to wait until this moment!
When Xiao Ma wants to sell OICQ, he can actively think of himself.

But at this time, Lin Xiao asked in a surprised voice: "Mr. Ma, are you going to sell OICQ?"

"Yes." There was some helplessness in Brother Ma's voice.

"Actually, the entire project has developed very well recently. The number of registered users of OICQ has exceeded 150 million. However, the company is currently short of funds and can no longer afford it."

It has to be said that at this stage, Brother Xiao Ma, who is born in technology, does not look like a businessman, and his tone does not seem to be talking about business at all.

If it were another President Ma, he would definitely tell you with high spirits what this 150 million users means, and he would try his best to tell you that although I am not doing this project now, the project is definitely promising Bright, if you accept it, it will be blood money.

However, Xiao Ma's reality at this time is just right in Lin Xiao's view.

If you want to sell, I will buy, so don't do so many vain things.

So, Lin Xiao asked straightforwardly: "How much is Mr. Ma going to sell?"

Brother Xiao Ma was obviously a little surprised by Lin Xiao's direct question, and didn't even ask about the company's specific situation?

After a little hesitation, Brother Ma tentatively said, "300 million."

After finishing speaking, Brother Xiao Ma immediately explained: "300 million is the price of the entire company, not just OICQ."

buy!
Lin Xiao almost didn't even have to think about it, and he didn't even plan to counter the price.

It's so cheap too!

As for the price of the entire company that Brother Xiaoma mentioned, Lin Xiaogen didn't even care about it. How much are those old servers worth?

Teng Xun's real value is OICQ, no, it should be OICQ and the whole team.

"Mr. Ma, let's put it this way, I am a person who pursues efficiency, and I like to keep things simple."

Just when Brother Xiaoma still hadn't reacted, Lin Xiao had already continued to say:

"I agreed to your offer. I am in the United States now, and it will take a few days before I can come back. I will first ask other people from the company to bring a lawyer to meet you in detail. After I come back, we will meet again. You how do you feel?"

Brother Xiao Ma was also a little confused by Lin Xiao's straightforwardness. He didn't know what to say for a while, so he just responded, "Oh, okay."

"Okay, then I will explain to the company and let them contact you."

After speaking, Lin Xiao hung up the phone.

Pengcheng, Brother Ma listened to the beeping sound on the phone, with an extremely strange expression on his face.

On the side, the other founders saw Brother Xiao Ma's expression at this time, and they all spoke one after another.

"what happened?"

"So you hung up the phone? Are you refusing so simply?"

"Did you not even talk about the price when you heard the offer?"

Hearing what the business partners said, Brother Xiao Ma finally came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "No, he agreed."

"He... what, agreed?"

It was Zeng Liqing who spoke, and at the side, Chen once, Zhang Zhidong, and Xu Chenye who were talking just now stopped talking and looked at Brother Ma.

Brother Xiao Ma nodded and said, "Lin Xiao agrees to acquire the company for 300 million yuan."

"He didn't mention the price at all, so straightforward?" Zeng Liqing asked in surprise.

Brother Xiao Ma nodded again, "There is no bargaining, he is in the United States, but he said that he will call the company's people and lawyers to contact us to discuss specific matters."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay again, which was too refreshing. If Teng Xun hadn't asked several people at the same time, the others would have refused very simply, and they almost thought that the price was too low.

Before, after a difficult discussion and decision, the five of Xiao Ma finally agreed to sell the company.

Among the targets for sale, the first thing they thought of was Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao owns an Internet company and is the person they are most familiar with in the industry. He has also expressed interest in this project and has money in his hand.

However, in order to better understand the market, they each contacted others through their own channels.

As a result, all of them were rejected!
Not to mention 300 million, or even 100 million, no one is willing to pay.

In everyone's words, "OICQ's users are growing rapidly, but no one in the world knows how to make money from this project."

Before contacting Lin Xiao, Teng Xun had already been rejected by 6 people. The highest offer was 60 yuan, and he agreed very reluctantly. So when they called Lin Xiao, they actually started to feel very nervous.

However, what they never expected was that Lin Xiao agreed so simply.

300 million, one price will not be returned.

"Perhaps, in his view, this is a small business."

At this time, Zeng Liqing sighed with emotion.

Brother Xiao Ma and the others felt that only this explanation seemed more reasonable.

After all, Eternal Network is currently the only profitable Internet company in China.
