Chapter 758 Series C Financing (4)
?Even if everyone didn't say it out loud, Yang Cheng and Eddie could guess it, but hocares? Anyway, you guys have no evidence, so I can say whatever I want, slaps are welcome, he doesn't care if he is thick-skinned.
This topic has been swept away in such an embarrassing situation. At least the shareholders still agree with Eddie’s strategy. To go to a place, you must adapt to the rules of a place. This is one of the good qualities of big capitalists. It’s not pressure from the U.S. ZF. Perhaps Google and Facebook have already lowered their stances and went to country Z to hold their thighs. Isn’t it just adding a monitoring threshold? National conditions can be changed in any way, as long as it can make money.
As for whether it will violate the purpose of the enterprise, hehehe, the purpose of the existence of the enterprise is to make money, otherwise is there any meaning in existence?
Next, Eddie explained the other businesses of New Era Media except Toutiao. After that, Yang Cheng took over the right to speak, "Everyone, everyone has already understood the situation. Now everything about the C round of financing or New Era Media , you can start asking questions, and I and the group executives present here will answer them one by one.”
All the shareholders looked at each other for a few times and didn't intend to speak first, but those investors couldn't help it. One of the investment directors from Berkshire Hathaway stood up and nodded slightly to the audience. Yang Cheng asked, "Dear Mr. Yang, Berkshire Hathaway is very optimistic about New Era Media. If possible, we are willing to eat all of the 5.5 billion US dollars."
Pause for a while, leaving time for others to sneer, after all, his words are a bit hateful, if you eat all 5.5 billion, it is equivalent to the Berkshire family occupying about 20% of the shares, not to mention Will Yang Cheng allow major shareholders to approach her shareholding, none of these shareholders will agree, you eat all the cake, what do we eat? Scum?
Because the director had expected it long ago, he continued indifferently, "I know this good wish is difficult to realize, so I have another proposal for cooperation. We are willing to invest 3 billion US dollars to occupy 100 million yuan in New Era Media % shares and corresponding equity, and a seat of executive director.”
The other shareholders were startled, and looked at the investment director dumbfounded, their absurd eyes seemed to ask: Did you tm take your medicine when you went out? Wrong word?
However, they were disappointed. Naturally, this general under the command of the old stock god could not make low-level mistakes. He calmly greeted one weird look after another, but from the beginning to the end his eyes were only locked on Yang Cheng. He is the one who can decide everything, and he has great confidence that Yang Cheng will not refuse.
Why so sure? It's not all because this quotation will increase the valuation of New Times Media, and the old stock god standing behind him, no one can refuse the investment of the old stock god, because the addition of the old stock god comes with a halo of skyrocketing stock prices, with such Who can refuse the temptation to make money?
However, he was really wrong about one thing. Is Yang Cheng the kind of person who needs to look at people's faces? no! He doesn't need the halo bonus of the old stock god at all. What's more, he doesn't like the way the investment director looks at him with that kind of high-ranking and pre-determined eyes. To use a popular word to describe it, it's called stinky fart!
The most important thing is that this guy asked for 10% of the shares and the seat of the executive director at once. Isn't this a clear attempt to grab power? Once he agrees, it means that another shackle has been added between himself and Eddie. Isn't this making himself unhappy? If this is the case, he doesn't care about the $30 billion valuation.
You still have to be humble. He dared to come up with a valuation of 26.5 billion U.S. dollars because of his heart, 30 billion? He never even dreamed, it's not that New Era Media can't have a value of 30 billion U.S. dollars, but it's not yet reached,
If he is given another year, he will definitely accept the valuation of 30 billion with peace of mind.
However, there is no need for this bad guy to do it himself, unless the group of shareholders don't want to play anymore, they will never allow anyone to climb on top of them to do their best.
Sure enough, before Yang Cheng could refuse, David Ellison was the first to jump out and express his firm opposition, "Berkshire is rich and I am not bad. One, who wins who?"
His unscrupulous remarks made the investment director's face turn black, but he didn't say much. He recognized David Ellison, who was crazy like his father. Maybe there will be a duel.
It's a pity that his silence doesn't mean that David Ellison will let him go. He sneered and said ironically, "You still want the executive director's seat, why don't you say you want the chairman's seat? Just give the New Era Group to How are you? I really don’t know who the old stock gods have recruited, why do you keep this kind of idiot? Eat nothing?”
The investment director from Berkshire gritted his molars, "Mr. Ellison is too much, you must apologize to me personally and Berkshire Hathaway, otherwise~"
Before the words finished, David Ellison waved his hand impatiently, "What else? Kill me? Or go to the court and sue me for cursing? Go ahead, I have plenty of time to play with you?"
The investment director was so choked that he didn't speak, and stared at David Ellison angrily, but was stunned again, "What? I have nothing to say? Just sit down and listen honestly if you have nothing to say. It's up to you to talk. I'll talk about it later."
Well, in this way, no other shareholders need to take action. David Ellison's firepower alone caused internal injuries to the other party, and he still refused to leave. He sat down and breathed fire in his eyes, but he just didn't dare to say a word .
Everyone laughed secretly, they had participated in a lot of boards of directors, eighty if not one hundred, but it was the first time to participate in such an interesting board of directors, and each of them thought in their hearts that they should not send representatives at all in the future, and they should come to participate by themselves.
At this time, Yang Cheng calmly smoothed things over, "Okay, there will always be disputes in financing, it's perfectly normal, there is no need to go online."
With such a sentence, Berkshire's unreliable proposal just now was taken lightly, and his eyes scanned the audience, waiting for the next speaker to speak.
At this time, another investor stood up, this time a woman, wearing a bright red uniform, with black hair with a bit of oriental blood, she brushed her hair gracefully and said, "Mr. Hello shareholders, I am Sheryl Sandberg, Chief Operating Officer of Facebook."
