Chapter 207 (1/2)
For Lin Jun, Zhang Tao has unconditional trust.
This unconditional trust does not only come from Lin Jun's ”excellent” strategic vision and ability to play with capital, but also because he knows in his heart that without the help of Yunmeng group, he could not have come to this stage.
Now that modern bike and cloud dream group are in the same camp, Lin Jun will not be able to pit himself.
However, that is to say, this trip to Shenzhen market was not smooth.
Different from previous times, with the increasing frequency of bike sharing on the news, this time, Liu Zhiping, the boss of Haishi group, met them.
After listening quietly to Lin Jun's description of the future of bike sharing, President Liu, who is well-known in Xia Guo's Internet industry, said in a gentle and irresistible tone.
”... to be honest, you are indeed an excellent enterprise, and we are really optimistic about the future performance of the sharing economy. A mature team is easier to be trusted than the newly established grassroots team in terms of both ability and understanding of the industry. Therefore, compared with other start-ups, we are certainly more inclined to acquire you. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Tao suddenly lost his temper and was excited to say that he was happy with his cooperation, but he was stopped by the dignified Lin Jun.
”So, is it an acquisition?”
”That's right,” Liu Zhiping continued with a smile, satisfied with the young man's savvy. ”Because of the importance, we need absolute control.”
”A 67% stake is the bottom line, and we will not dictate the business strategy of your team, but we must retain that right. If you can accept it, we are willing to provide $1.5 billion. ”
15 billion for 67% of the shares.
Compared with the initial 500 million for 30% of the shares, it has given a large premium space. However, the 67% stake means that the start-up team will completely lose control of the modern bike, leaving life and death in each other's hands.
The expression on Zhang Tao's face obviously hesitated, so did Lin Jun, who was sitting on one side.
Take a deep breath, he said.
”We need to think about it again.”
Liu Zhiping nodded.
”Of course, but I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible.”
”After all, we also have our own plans in bike sharing business. It's also one of our alternatives to set up a new company to start related business.”
In the last sentence, there is a sense of pressure.
It doesn't matter if you don't accept it. Just like other Internet giants, we can re-establish a company or buy a team that is willing to accept financing to enter the game
After coming out of the building of sea lion group, Lin Jun looked at the blue sky and white clouds overhead and sighed.
”I'm sorry. I thought it would be done this time, but I didn't expect to talk about it later.”
”It's OK,” Zhang Tao shrugged helplessly. ”No one can predict this kind of thing. Let's go back and talk about it.”
It is impossible to surrender control.
Just as the sea lion group can't fully trust them, they can't fully trust the sea lion group.
In case the other party acquires the past, turns around and presses them to death on the ground, and then moves the user group of modern bike to their newly established sea lion bike or wechat bike, there will be no reason to cry at that time.
After all, they said from the beginning that 67% of the shares are the bottom line of the war investment. What they want is the absolute control of the modern bicycle! For such harsh conditions, both Zhang Tao and Lin Jun fell into silence!
……
The plane flew back to Jiangcheng from Shenzhen, ending the short day tour.
Lin Jun, sitting in a cafe under the office building of Chengnan Venture Park, reported the results of his Shenzhen market trip to Hao Yun, who was sitting across the table.
However, after listening to Lin Jun's statement, there was a different expression on Hao Yun's face.
”... that is to say, when you go to Shenzhen stock market this time, Haishi group overturns the previous financing plan and plans to exchange 1.5 billion yuan for 67% shares?”
Lin Jun sighed and said.
”Yes.”
Hao Yun simply calculated and continued.
”I remember that it used to be 500 million for 30%. Isn't this new financing plan more?”
It doesn't seem surprising that Hao Yun will say such words. Lin Jun gives a bitter smile and shakes his head.
”It's not that simple... Once we accept this agreement, we will lose control of the modern bike. As long as the sea lion group has an idea, they can parachute a management team to the side of modern bike at any time to kick the start-up team out and take over the business. ”
That's what he said, but Hao Yun didn't think it was bad at all.
