I really just want to make money

Chapter 419 Welcome to the City of Bathing
Dongwan City does not have its own airport, so Li Yu's plane goes directly to Pengcheng Bao'an Airport. Fortunately, it is also very close to Dongwan City.

Pengcheng City in February is as warm as spring, and the warm wind blows on the face, making people unable to open their eyes comfortably. It is no wonder that so many migrant workers would rather live in the basement in Pengcheng than go back to their hometown in the north.

As soon as Li Yu and his party walked to the gate of the airport, Cai Zhengjun saw the company receptionist holding a sign not far away, and standing next to him was a familiar face.

"Boss Huang?"

The person who came to pick up the plane was none other than Huang Wenlin, the alumnus of Hefei Industrial University mentioned by Cai Zhengjun, the vice president and partner of Time Delin Company.

Seeing Huang Wenlin personally come to pick up the plane, Cai Zhengjun suddenly felt flattered, but immediately he knew that he was thinking too much.

Well, they are here to pick up investor Li Yu, so what does it have to do with him as an errand runner.

"Mr. Li, this is Mr. Huang Wenlin from our company."

"President Huang, this is President Li Yu."

As a matchmaker, Cai Zhengjun couldn't be said to be completely useless, at least he could give the two parties a brief introduction to each other, and then nothing would happen to him.

On one side is a company that is in urgent need of investment, and on the other is Boss Li who wants to pick up the loopholes.

An hour later, when the commercial vehicle entered Dongwan City, Li Yu's cell phone vibrated suddenly. He thought someone had sent him a message, so he turned on the cell phone and checked.

"Hello, dear sir, welcome to Dongwan, the capital of entertainment. Our company is now launching various special services, including vacuum audition for the runway, one-stop evening style, ISO service, sister passion, eight-nation coalition..."

Signed: Prince International Hotel
Looking at all kinds of professional terms in the text messages on the mobile phone, the huge amount of information made Li Yu a little bit overwhelmed for a while.

Tired of seeing stereotyped welcome text messages such as "there is such-and-such scenic spot in our city, which is the hometown of such-and-such a celebrity", Li Yu feels quite fresh when he first sees it and welcomes P.

As expected of a big city, you really know how to play!
Seeing Li Yu's strange expression, the experienced Huang Wenlin suddenly showed a smile that any man could understand.

"Mr. Li, this can be regarded as our special feature. I will show Mr. Li a tour of the company this afternoon. We will stay at the Prince Hotel in the evening to ensure that Mr. Li will return home satisfied."

Apart from the driver, there are only two big men, Li Yu and Huang Wenlin, in this car. They are both adults. It's not good to be too hypocritical.

In addition, Li Yu is a diligent and studious person. Suddenly seeing so many incomprehensible professional terms, he wanted to go to the site to learn more, and it would not be in vain to come to the birthplace of evening service.

"Hahaha, then please trouble Mr. Huang..."

The commercial vehicle drove directly to the hotel that Huang Wenlin had booked for Li Yu, um, it was the Prince Hotel that just received the text message.

Registration, check-in, no matter the hotel decoration or service, all reflect the high style and good service attitude of the hotel.

But it's a pity that Li Yu didn't see any shadow of evening service mentioned in the text message.

"Maybe evening service usually appears at night..."

After taking a break at noon, Huang Wenlin went to the hotel to pick up Li Yu to go to the company.

Under the introduction of Huang Wenlin, Li Yu had a cordial and friendly meeting with Boss Zeng, the largest shareholder and actual controller of Times Delin Company.

Although already hungry and thirsty, but when facing Li Yu, Boss Zeng was still very calm, bragging about how promising his company was and how strong its technical strength was throughout the whole process, but did not mention Li Yu's investment.

In this regard, Li Yu did not expose him.

Li Yu already knew through Cai Zhengjun how short of money Times Delin Company is now, but he also knows that the company will eventually counterattack in the future.

Therefore, his purpose is to invest, not to haggle over with the boss of the company. If the negotiation falls apart, or there are other variables in the middle, Li Yu will lose.

After Boss Zeng finished bragging, seeing that Li Yu neither refuted nor mentioned the matter of investment, he immediately became anxious.

"Mr. Li, after talking so much, you must also be very curious about the specific situation of our company. In this way, I will show you around our R&D department first..." Boss Zeng is going to take the initiative to guide Li Yu, and then continue to give Li Yu Yu Hua pie brainwashed.

Although Boss Zeng is a professional master, but he can become a big boss. In addition to his excellent technical level, he is also excellent at fooling and painting big cakes.

He believed that with his penetrating tongue, Li Yu, a young man, would be able to give generously.

In the next two hours, accompanied by Boss Zeng, Li Yu visited the R&D and production workshops of Times Delin.

To be honest, I don't understand...

But this is not important. Anyway, after the visit, Li Yu immediately expressed his optimism about the technical strength and research direction of Times-Delin, and was willing to invest and reach a strategic cooperation with Times-Delin on behalf of Ward Auto.

Things have gone very smoothly so far, but when the two parties discussed the company's valuation and shares, there were obvious differences.

"Mr. Zeng, my visit to your company this time is to completely open up the upstream and downstream industrial chain of the core components of Ward New Energy Automobile Company."

"In order to achieve a deep bond between us, I hope to cooperate through cash + share swap. I personally cash out, Ward Auto and Time Delin exchange shares, and the total will get no less than 45% of the shares."

The reason why Li Yu wanted to exchange shares was mainly because he didn't have enough money, cash + cross-shareholding, using the least amount of cash to get the most shares.

But it is a pity that Boss Zeng is not so easy to fool. He is very confident in his company's technology and future. Now he only wants cash to tide over the difficulties, and has no interest in cross-swap shares at all.

The first plan failed to be negotiated, and Li Yu didn't want to give up such an easy opportunity, so he gritted his teeth.

Cash is cash, the big deal is to start the financing of several Internet companies under it as soon as possible...

"Cash is also available, but I still want 45% of the shares, so that we can cooperate more deeply in the future."

Faced with Li Yu opening his mouth to ask for nearly half of the shares, Boss Zeng naturally disagreed.

Just kidding, he himself only holds 54% of the company's shares now. If Li Yu gets 45% of the shares, wouldn't he become the second shareholder?

"Mr. Li, 45% of the shares is absolutely impossible. We can sell up to 10% of the company's shares." Boss Zeng said firmly.

Talking about financing is actually the same as buying vegetables. The price is set on the ground and the money is paid back. After the first round of confrontation, both parties probably have certain expectations in their hearts.

Li Yu continued: "10% is impossible, I am not short of money, and I have never been in the habit of investing 10%, I might as well not invest in this share..."

"Mr. Zeng, tell me a real figure. After all, you don't expect your investment to fly, do you?"

Listening to Li Yu's "not short of money" tone of a local tyrant, as well as Japanese-style threatening words, Boss Zeng almost vomited blood depressed.

Nima, I couldn't find an investor before, but this time I found it, but this investor was a bit aggressive, and he felt a little overwhelmed.

"Mr. Li, please wait a moment, I need to discuss with other shareholders."

"It's okay, I'm here today, but I'm going to have a round tomorrow. If you are sincere, please be more straightforward. Don't wait for this small business."

Boss Zeng was once again dizzy from Li Yu's tone, and felt depressed for a while.

Damn, it's amazing to be rich!
I'm so...

"Alright Mr. Li, we will discuss the results soon."

Money is the uncle, and Boss Zeng finally compromised.

In the small meeting room next door, several shareholders of Time Delin were arguing fiercely together.

"How many shares do you think it is appropriate for us to give up?" Boss Zeng asked.

"I think 20% at most," said one shareholder.

"I'm curious about this figure. Don't you see Li Yu's tone? He doesn't even bother to look at 10%. Do you think 20% can satisfy his appetite?" Another shareholder raised a different opinion.

"I think what Lao Zhang said is right. This Li Yu has a young and energetic personality. If we really dissatisfy him, he may leave directly..."

"I think it can be raised a little bit more, so what if we give him 40% of the shares? We all absolutely support Mr. Zeng. We hold 60% of the shares together, and we are not afraid of what he thinks."

"Yes, what are we so afraid of? If he really invests 40%, we can at least raise two to three billion yuan. With this money, we will have R&D funds for the next few years..."

A group of veterans and shareholders of Time Delin Company talked to each other. Although they were clamoring fiercely, if you listen carefully, you will find that they are actually very guilty and passive.

Li Yu may not invest in them, but they cannot do without Li Yu's investment, at least they think so now...

Now, all employees of Times Delin are waiting for the news of Li Yu's investment, waiting for a salary increase and an increase in research and development funds. If the news fails, once the various conflicts accumulated in the past are intensified, the company may collapse in an instant.

The current situation is actually very clear. Time Delin Company has no choice. If it does not get investment, the company may be ruined at any time.

Therefore, as long as it does not lose control of the company, all conditions are acceptable...

Company control is their final bottom line.

In fact, before Li Yu, it was not that no one contacted Times Delin Company.

Bangziguo Five-Star Group has always wanted to acquire Time Delin Company, but was flatly rejected by Boss Zeng and other shareholders of the company.

As the largest consortium in Bangzi Country, Five Star Group is involved in many industries. In addition to the five star electronics that we are most familiar with, that is, the mobile phone business, Five Star Group has also set foot in the fields of automobile and battery research and development.

The five-star group has naturally seen the general trend of the rise of the new energy automobile industry, so the five-star group is also deploying the new energy industry during this period, buying and buying along the way.

Therefore, Time Delin, one of the top power battery companies in Huaguo, naturally became the prey of the Five Star Group.

Compared to being directly acquired by Bangziguo Company and then kicked out of the company, Li Yu's request seems less unacceptable...

After a heated discussion, Boss Zeng finally made up his mind.

Back in the conference room again, Boss Zeng said:

"Mr. Li, we are willing to give up 20% of the shares at most..."

Before Boss Zeng finished speaking, he saw Li Yu stand up and was about to leave, which startled him, and quickly stood up and grabbed Li Yu's arm.

"Hahaha, Mr. Li, don't be angry. It was just a joke. We are willing to give up 40% of the shares..." Boss Zeng held Li Yu's arm firmly with one hand while talking, for fear that the patron's father When I got angry, I really left.

How could Li Yu really leave? He just wanted to show his tough and domineering attitude and buy as many shares as possible.

Now that there were boss Zeng's steps, he just took advantage of the situation and sat down.

"Only 40% of the shares, although it's a little less, forget it, let's do it, then 40%!"

Li Yu was secretly happy, but on the surface he had to make a dissatisfied expression.

Seeing that Li Yu's appetite was finally satisfied, Boss Zeng and the shareholders of the company breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that the equity share has been determined, there are still many things to discuss, such as the valuation of the company, the rights and obligations of both parties, and so on.

Among them, the shareholders of Time Delin Company are most concerned about the fear that Li Yu will interfere with the company's daily operations. On this point, Li Yu waved his hand very boldly and expressed that he would never interfere.

"Mr. Zeng, I don't understand technology, so I won't interfere with your research and development. I only look at the results..."

"In terms of company management, I will only send two financial personnel over. In terms of technology research and development, I hope that your company can arrange a position for Cai Zhengjun as the vice president of the R&D department, so that I can keep abreast of the latest developments in the company's research and development."

Li Yu is a man of his word, so naturally he will not forget his promise to Cai Zhengjun.

Boss Zeng is naturally very satisfied with Li Yu's loose request, and the next step is to slowly discuss the issue of valuation.

"Mr. Li, our company made a round of employee equity incentives half a year ago. At that time, the internal valuation was 25 billion. This is relevant material."

Boss Zeng's negotiating strategy is to guarantee the bottom line first, and then fight for it. The valuation of 25 billion when employees held shares half a year ago is the bottom line figure.

As we all know, the valuation when employees hold shares is relatively low, otherwise the employees of the company would not be willing.

For example, Li Yu generously gave a 3% discount to Moyu Group's employee stock ownership plan at the end of last year.

Of course, such a low discount is mainly due to the particularity of the Internet industry, the bubble is relatively large, and Li Yu's offer is indeed generous.

Time Delin Company is an asset-heavy research and development company. Although the valuation of employees' shares is low, it will not be much lower than the actual value...

After talking about the guaranteed valuation, Boss Zeng blew up about the company again. In addition to the amazing technology, he also focused on the company's sales.

"Just this month, we have just been shortlisted for the BMW Group's battery procurement supplier list, and we are the only three shortlisted companies in the world."

"The five-star group of Bangzi Country and the Sony Group of the island country are shortlisted with us. As long as we can officially become a supplier of BMW, our company will definitely skyrocket..."

"In addition, we are also bidding for projects from Ugly General Motors, Tesla and other companies..."

Boss Zeng talked about a lot of future cooperation with major international companies, but most of them are still in the bidding stage.

And even if the bidding is successful, it will take a year or two to realize supply and sales, because the research and development and production of new energy vehicles have never been achieved in a pinch.

Li Yu is no longer a boy who just came down the mountain, so if he catches the problem, it will be a firepower output, and he and Boss Zeng will have a great time hacking back and forth.

Zeng Boss Lion's 60 billion offer was slashed all the way down by Li Yu, and the knife and knife were all in units of [-] million!
If Fighting Knife had such a big bargain, it would go bankrupt in minutes...

While Li Yu and Boss Zeng were arguing about the price, a poisonous snake was already quietly lurking in the dark to observe the negotiation situation here.
