Chapter 202 Investing in Websites
They are mainly "cooked food".
"Sheep's foot dry pot" and "cow's foot dry pot" look like this.
Grilled small fragrant pigs and grilled lamb chops, chopped up and placed on a plate, you can eat them with your hands.Mouth full of fragrance.The key is that the pork skin is fried crispy.
Even if there is a cooked chicken and a wooden duck, they are also chopped and put into two large plates.
Make a sauce plate and eat "white-cut chicken" and "white-cut duck" with soy sauce.
Put that big piece of fried meat in the refrigerator for storage first.It takes a lot of time to make "Meicai Pork".There are so many dishes, who wants to eat "sauced pork" at this time?
Soon everyone was at the table, eating and drinking.
If there are many people in the family, the children will set up another table and let them eat on the side.All kinds of meat and vegetables were spread out in half, filled with large and small dishes, and another "Eight Immortals Table" that was not usually used was filled for the children.
At the main table are three distinguished guests, Liang Teng, Wu Xia, and Yan Qianyu, two daughters, two sons-in-law, two eldest sons, and Wu Xia's aunt.A total of 10 people are seated.
For the rest, sit on the other side.
During the dinner, the two sons-in-law found that both Wu Xia and Liang Teng were very easy-going, and they were not at all the "aggressiveness" of a "billionaire" as imagined.
Secretly relieved.
At the same time, I also sighed in my heart: As the saying goes, the more incompetent a person is, the greater his temper will be.Conversely, those who have the ability, the cultivation is better.
"Aunt" is a bit of a "recommended talent".Who do you recommend?Of course it's a rich lady like Xiang Wu Xia.
"Auntie" keeps praising her as "big son-in-law", and now the network technology service company "founded" is really booming.When the eldest son-in-law opened the "Lian Suo Drugstore", she had long seen that he was definitely a "business material".No, I used to drive a car worth tens of thousands of yuan, but now I have replaced it with a foreign brand car worth more than 30 yuan...
The eldest son-in-law listened to her praise him without a mouth, as if she wanted to encourage Wu Xia to make a "venture investment" in his company.
Of course, he welcomes the "investment" with his hands, but the eldest son-in-law does not dare to "exaggerate" in the face of real rich people.
He knows that the wealthy big boss has a much wider vision than you.
Bragging and crossing in front of others, "playing around with others", really laughing and generous.
The eldest son-in-law hurriedly spoke honestly and corrected several false information about the "mother-in-law": "The company I am running now is not wholly owned by myself. I am ashamed to say that I only accounted for 5.00% of it." shares. There are several shareholders in the company, and the largest shareholder accounts for 60.00% of the shares... In short, I am only a minority shareholder of the company. If the company can be listed in the future, it will attract a large number of "retail investors". , I am considered a 'major shareholder'."
"In addition, the 'Peugeot 4008' I bought was not more than 30 yuan, it only cost me 20 yuan. It was purchased in installments, a total of 36 installments."
"Aunt" and the second son-in-law looked at him in surprise, wondering why he suddenly became so "real".
Even when buying a car in installments and how much the total price is, the data is revised one by one.
But my aunt didn't think too deeply.
This was also the first time she heard that her eldest son-in-law only held one-twentieth of the shares in that Internet service company that she still couldn't figure out.
With such a scarce share, he is willing to sell his well-run big pharmacy and invest in that Internet company instead?
Is he so optimistic about the development prospects of the new company?
What kind of company is that?
Faced with the question from the "mother-in-law", the eldest son-in-law explained: He is really optimistic about the company's future development prospects.Now on the Internet, there is no real and large-scale network information service platform.The company he invested in is committed to providing information services in this area, such as second-hand house transaction information, used car transaction information, job search information, factory or residential rental, online ticket purchase, pet sale, monthly Sister-in-law hired...Anyway, all the information related to the service category can be found on the "website" run by his company.
His company is equivalent to an information gathering platform on the Internet.
If someone wants to conduct transactions through his platform, the platform can charge a certain "intermediary fee".
My aunt nodded: "Oh, I've been working on it for so long, and now I finally understand it. Isn't that the same as moving the common 'information stores' on the street to the Internet?"
The eldest son-in-law nodded: "The nature is a bit similar. You are right to understand it this way. It's just that the 'information agencies' on the street are generally classified. Some agencies specialize in providing 'employment' information, and some specialize in real estate sales or rental. The intermediary of information, there is also a "housekeeping intermediary" that specializes in providing "maybe" and "cleaning staff"... and I have invested in this company, which is a comprehensive information service company. Information from various industries is available Involved. In terms of scale, it is much larger than a small shop on the street."
Speaking of this, the eldest son-in-law made a serious recommendation: "One of the biggest advantages of my company, which is incomparable with similar 'physical stores', is that the company is striving towards the goal of 'listing for financing'. As long as it can be listed , don’t say that I own 5.00% of the shares, even if I only own [-]%, I can become a multi-millionaire in no time.”
My aunt's eyes sparkled when she heard this, and she murmured: "With 5.00% of the shares, you can become a multi-millionaire. If you own 5000% of the shares, you have [-] million assets. Your company is really so valuable?! "
The eldest son-in-law smiled reservedly, and said firmly: "Didn't I see the bright future of the company, would I sell the pharmacy and invest in 5.00% of its shares? Even if the founder of this company is a good friend with me, I don't Even if my dad started a promising project, I wouldn’t go for it.”
My aunt asked a little impatiently: "When will your company go public? Have you picked an auspicious day? There should be many good days this year. Hurry up and go public this year. In my opinion, the shares have risen to 5000 million , just cash out quickly. Don’t get caught up. The risk in the stock market is quite high now.”
After hearing her words, the eldest son-in-law's expression suddenly became colorful.
After a long while, I finally answered in a bit of embarrassment: "There is no way to determine the time for listing. This listing is the direction of efforts, but now the threshold for companies listing in China is quite high, and it is not so easy to approve your listing. I guess, It will be very good if we can get listed in the A-share market or the 'Pearl of the Orient' market within ten years..."
oh?Do we have to wait another ten years?
Even after ten years, it may not necessarily win the qualifications for listing and financing?
When my aunt heard such real feedback, it was like pouring cold water on her face, and her enthusiasm disappeared immediately.
She is shrewd. Doesn't it seem like a common saying that the horoscope has not been written yet?
She doesn't even dare to guarantee what will happen one year later, let alone what will happen ten years later.
This eldest son-in-law is quite honest and honest, so he won't be tricked by bad friends into investing in an Internet company that "draws big cakes to satisfy his hunger", right? !
"Auntie" muttered on the sidelines.
During the dinner, Liang Teng felt that the specific content of the Internet company introduced by his eldest son-in-law became more and more familiar to him.
A large platform on the Internet that focuses on information services for various industries?
Liang Teng gradually had a bold guess.
He asked his eldest son-in-law tentatively: "You bought shares in this company and opened a website on the Internet. What is its name?"
The eldest son-in-law could see that after the mother-in-law arrived, she obviously didn't like his Internet company very much, so it was a bit embarrassing.
Now seeing that Liang Teng seemed to be interested in his company, he quickly replied: "Of course. The Internet company does not operate its own website platform, so how does it make money? The website founded by our company is named '99 Sharing'. It is still It’s just an unknown small website. That’s because it has only been established for more than a year. It has not yet introduced large investments for publicity and promotion, and it has not yet fully opened up..."
oh!It really is the "99 Sharing" website.
"Domain names" on the Internet need to be registered, and there is basically no possibility of duplicate names.
In this way, it is really the famous "99 sharing" in later generations.
Liang Teng is much more familiar with this website than his eldest son-in-law.No need for an introduction from him at all.
He even knew that after a few years, "99 Sharing" won a successful listing, and there was no need for 10 years of hard work.
And the highest market value after listing reached more than 800 billion domestic currency.Based on this figure, one percent of the company's shares reached 8 million. A 5.00% stake is 40 billion.
Of course, the stock market cannot always run at its highest level.
When the stocks of "99 Shares" were at a low tide, they shrank to a market value of 400 billion, and it lasted for quite a few years.But based on a market value of 400 billion, that 5.00% stake is also worth 20 billion.
If the company can be successfully listed one day, what is the estimated market value of the eldest son-in-law?He believes that one percent of the shares can be cashed out for 1 million, so isn’t the company’s total stock price only 10 billion?
He really underestimated the company's development prospects by far.
Although the eldest son-in-law is really optimistic about "99 Sharing", otherwise he would not invest in it.
But he still seriously underestimated the height that the website can achieve in the future.
Of course, from the current valuation of the company by the eldest son-in-law, it can also be reflected from one aspect that the current "99 Sharing" is indeed not doing well.
I don't know what kind of luck it hit in the end, and it occupied the market all at once.
Now there is no sign of prosperity at all.
Liang Teng couldn't help but asked the eldest son-in-law: "Can you tell me, how much money did you invest in the 5.00% of the shares?"
The eldest son-in-law has always disclosed the real data honestly. Even the purchase price of the "Peugeot 4008", he does not dare to exaggerate, because he knows that "high-level people" like Liang Teng and Wu Xia always have their own channels. Get to know the real data.
If you falsely report to them, you will only attract resentment, thinking that you are dishonest and not worth relying on.
The eldest son-in-law thought that it would be best to attract Liang Teng to "invest" in his "99 Sharing" website.
If Liang Teng is optimistic about the website and invests in acquiring a few percent of the shares, it means that he is very optimistic about the company's development prospects. Then of course he must believe in the vision of the big boss.
Perhaps it’s not just that I believe in Liang Teng’s vision, but that he and Wu Xia can use various resources to support the “99 Sharing” website.
In this way, the eldest son-in-law will continue to hold 99% of the shares of "5.00 Sharing", which I believe is very valuable.
Once Liang Teng, after careful consideration, refuses to invest in "99 Sharing", or casually invests in buying 5.00% of the shares because of the favor of his relatives, it means that he has a serious lack of confidence in the development prospects of the website.Then, the eldest son-in-law feels that he can also consider whether to sell the [-]% shares in his hand.
In fact, the eldest son-in-law's investment in "99 Sharing" has not improved for almost two years, and he is already a little discouraged about such a website.
It's just that on the surface, it is absolutely impossible to reveal his true inner thoughts.You have to pretend to be "full of confidence".
On weekdays, I also have to actively solicit business for the company's platform.
The "big son-in-law" has invested real money, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he can't give up early.
At this time, I heard Liang Teng ask him how much money he invested in the 5.00% stake in the company?
Focusing on such a specific issue, has the other party developed some interest in the "99 Sharing" website?Start thinking about how much money you need to invest?
Perhaps, if the investment amount is not large, Boss Liang will also "test the waters", right?
The eldest son-in-law immediately cheered up, and quickly answered truthfully: "I have invested a total of 25 yuan in the '99 Sharing' website. The shares I got are about 5.00%, so let's calculate it as an integer of 5.00%. One-fifth of the shares is 5 yuan."
Liang Teng was a little speechless.
Are you sure you're not kidding me?
One percent of the shares is 5 yuan, so the investment amount of the entire "99 Sharing" website is only 500 million yuan now?
To be honest, in the era of national entrepreneurship, there are countless companies with a scale of millions, and even small companies worth hundreds of thousands are like crucian carp crossing the river, countless.
There are even more "self-employed people" with an investment of only tens of thousands of yuan.
There is a saying in the rivers and lakes: There are [-] million merchants for one billion people, and there are still [-] million unopened businesses.
It is said that the number of people doing business in the country is huge.
In this case, it is not too shabby for the company that the eldest son-in-law participates in to have a registered capital of 500 million.
But the problem is: that is a big company that can reach 800 billion in volume in the future!It has been established for almost two years, but it still only has a market value of 500 million?
It is estimated that it has never injected capital, right?
It's not that the founder of the website is unwilling to introduce investment and dilute his shareholding, but that he can't attract "venture capital".
Liang Teng secretly sighed in his heart: If it hadn't been for this special occasion and met the shareholders of "99 Sharing" and didn't understand the current situation of the website and didn't know that these shareholders had only invested a total of 500 million in the website, I would have followed my previous thinking and smashed it. Spending tens of millions to buy most of the website's shares, or even spending 1 million directly to acquire more than 90.00% of the vast majority of the website's "shares", wouldn't that make the founder laugh to death? !
Like the current half-dead situation of the website, it is estimated that if a big boss can be found to buy it at a premium of two or three times, then the founder of the website (who is also the largest shareholder) will be willing to sell most of the shares of "99 Sharing".
The point is, knowing that the real investment amount of "99 Sharing" is 500 million, then the "premium" of 2 times is just an investment of 1500 million, and the premium of 3 times is an investment of 2000 million.
In any case, Liang Teng would not be asked to invest 1 million yuan.
That's a "premium" of 20 times.
I don't think the founder has that much appetite and confidence to ask such a sky-high price!
Liang Teng looked contemplative, analyzed step by step, and found out the details of the other party.
The eldest son-in-law was a little impatient seeing him silent for a long time.
I can only take the initiative to test it myself: "Boss Liang, in fact, this '99 Sharing' website is very creative and practical. The country really needs such a large-scale information service platform...so its development prospects are quite good. Now The development of the website company has encountered some "bottlenecks", mainly due to a serious shortage of funds, which has restricted the company's development. Therefore, if you intend to spend a huge amount of money to support '99 Sharing', you will definitely be able to wait until the day it is successfully listed. Make a lot of money!"
Liang Teng thought to himself: I am really optimistic about the prospects of the "99 Sharing" platform. You guys who are trying to make "quick money" only want to push the company to the "market" and "cash out" immediately after raising funds. !This kind of thinking is probably a common problem of most IT companies!Don't think about digging out the real "profit point" of the company, only know to seek "IPO, IPO, IPO"...IPO is a good circle. Money, and then let you people who have "primary shares" "cash out", go away!
Liang Teng secretly despised him in his heart.
Then he said to his eldest son-in-law seriously: "For me, the '99 Sharing' website is just a small platform. You have only invested 500 million in total. This amount of money is nothing to me. I can even pay directly. Create the same type of website. But it is a bit troublesome, so, I can also consider buying your website with double the price. Let all your shareholders make money. It is not possible to sell all the old capital - only In this way, you will have the motivation to run the website with your heart."
The eldest son-in-law is also a "smooth and exquisite" person, and he immediately recognized the meaning behind Liang Teng's words.
But in matters of business, there must be no room for controversy.He then further confirmed: "Boss Liang, you mean that you plan to use 1000 million yuan to buy all the shares of the company. However, the management right of the company will still be handed over to the original team... What is the condition you offered? I didn't get it wrong, did I?"
Liang Teng smiled enigmatically: "1 million is enough for 20.00% of the shares. You don't need all of them. Leave [-]% of the shares to be distributed by the company's original shareholders. Only in this way will there be consequences for the specific operators of the company. Motivational effect. Otherwise, although the company is still run by them, they will only serve as 'senior workers'. How motivated can they be?! They may have their minds on other aspects, always thinking about working for others. Why not find another project to invest in and become your own boss..."
The eldest son-in-law nodded in admiration.
He also told Liang Teng honestly: "If I buy 1% of the company's shares for 80.00 million, I estimate that the 'shareholders meeting', that is, we, the founder team, will have a 5% chance of agreeing, and a 5% chance may not agree. It depends on the final voting results - in fact, to put it bluntly, it depends on the opinion of the single largest shareholder accounting for more than 50.00%. He is probably in a dilemma. Although the company's development speed is far slower than expected, it is still It's far from the point of selling it off! Giving 1 million to account for 99% of the shares is actually equivalent to selling the '[-] Sharing' website in a 'disguised' way."
Liang Teng pondered for a moment, then asked again: "What price do you think the company's single largest shareholder can accept to sell the company?"
The eldest son-in-law probably also talked with other shareholders (including the largest "controlling shareholder") about selling the company.There is also an estimate for the "selling price".
Therefore, now he can answer without hesitation: "If you are willing to bid 2 million and only acquire about 70.00% of the company's shares, it is estimated that the current controlling shareholder is also willing to hand over the shares."
Liang Teng smiled.Noncommittal.
Seeing this, the eldest son-in-law quickly explained again: "The 2 million to buy 1% of the shares, with the current operating conditions of the website, you certainly can't say that you are making a lot of money. But everyone wants to take a look, so A website platform that is extremely lacking in investment, once it has a huge capital injection, can it rise rapidly? If you insist on investing only 1000 million and buying [-]% of the shares, even if the company’s shareholders meeting finally agrees to sell, the company With only [-] million working capital, can it really develop? Can it wait until the day it goes public?"
"If you are willing to take a gamble and inject 2 million yuan, once the '99 Sharing' is really listed on the day, its market value will rise to 10 billion with the "stock price" soaring, your 2 million , It is an investment with a huge return. Although the original shareholders only retain 100% to [-]% of the shares, if they "cash out", they are worth N times more than the previous [-]% shares... This is a real 'win-win' situation."
The eldest son-in-law thought that he had already used his eloquence to a super level and should be able to impress Liang Teng.
But Liang Teng still had a "calm and composed" look.
The "big son-in-law" can't help being a little unpredictable.
In fact, Liang Teng has known for a long time that "99 Sharing" will eventually be listed. Now, as the eldest son-in-law said, there is a serious lack of funds, and many good marketing methods cannot be used.Perhaps, it is also because of the constraints of this factor that the platform is tepid.
If the platform can be built by spending tens of millions, Liang Teng is of course not stingy with the money.
You know, he originally planned to invest 1 million yuan.
None of this requires the eldest son-in-law to be "talkative".
Liang Teng just felt that since the eldest son-in-law is not the last person who can "make the decision" in the company, it would be a waste to negotiate with him any more conditions.
After a while, Liang Teng spoke slowly, and said to the eldest son-in-law: "That's how it is. You go back and tell the company's shareholders, it doesn't matter if I pay 2 million, it only accounts for 99% of the shares of '7 Sharing'. It doesn't matter. The company is still managed by the original founding team, and this clause can also be written into the agreement, and it will not change within 10 years. But I still have one condition, that is, I use 2000 million to buy 7% of the original shares, forever It cannot be diluted. Even if the company continues to develop and introduces other investments in the future, you can’t move 7% of my shares. If you want to attract capital, you can exchange 3% of your shareholders’ shares. Specifically, how do you sell 3% of the shares? Shares? How much capital? It’s none of my business. I can’t move [-]% of my shares anyway. Such a condition will also be written into the agreement.”
Speaking of this, Liang Teng put on a grinning expression, and said to the eldest son-in-law: "Just report what I mean, exactly, to your company's shareholders' meeting. Whether you can agree or not is up to you to discuss and decide. If you agree, I will test the waters of this industry. If I don’t agree, I will look for other investment projects. Anyway, I want to invest in a little business in the 'Emperor Capital'. Wu Xia should have a lot of money-making projects waiting to be introduced to me .”
