Chapter 626: Scare 2 Away
Hearing what Yang Chen said, the three presidents were a little worried.
Not to mention making new energy vehicles, even making ordinary fuel vehicles, investing tens of billions of dollars may not make a splash.
This thing is too expensive. Various molds have been developed, and a production line has no bottom line.
If it is true what Yang Chen said, no matter how much money he invests in the future, he must continue to do it.
That means that the equity in the hands of other shareholders will continue to be diluted, which is not a good thing.
However, now that they sat down to talk, the three of them didn't want to give up easily.
Suzuki Kei then asked: "If it is true as Mr. Yang said, if you invest tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars in the future and still fail to see results, will you still continue to do it?"
Yang Chen nodded and said: "Yes, I said no matter how much money I invest, I will definitely build the company. If you have concerns about this, I will give you an idea. When we sign the cooperation agreement, you can Add a clause in the agreement that if you are unwilling to continue to hold equity, I will repurchase your equity based on the company's current valuation. Even if the company does not achieve results, I continue to invest money in it, and the company's valuation It will continue to improve, and the money you invest will definitely be earned, you can all understand this, right?"
Suzuki Kei, Honda Hideo, Toyoda Akira, all three nodded.
In fact, Yang Chen was willing to provide them with such protection because he was interested in the mature patented technologies of the three of them.
It's not that Yang Chen can't research the technology to build cars, it's just that many technologies are controlled by these large groups that have been doing it for a long time.
If building a car requires negotiating with dozens of companies from around the world to purchase patented technology, that would be too troublesome.
Yang Chen is not short of money now. What he wants is to overtake in corners and surpass Tesla with the shortest technology.
Taking over the mature patented technologies of these large groups and using them first can save a lot of research and development time.
Honda Henan was more courageous and said: "We have a joint venture in Daxia, and we are very optimistic about Daxia's automobile industry. I think the method Mr. Yang just said is very good, and I am willing to accept it. I want to know what Mr. Yang and Li will do What is the current valuation of the company? If we buy shares, what will we have to pay and what will we get?"
Yang Chen did not answer directly. He wanted to wait for Suzuki Kei and Toyoda Akihide to express their stance before deciding how to talk next.
"What did Mr. Suzuki and Chairman Toyota say?
What do you mean? "Yang Chen asked directly.
Honda Honda has expressed its willingness to cooperate, which means that if Suzuki Kei and Toyoda Akio are unwilling to cooperate, they will fall behind the Honda Group.
They still don't know what Yang Chen's strength is.
But no investigation is needed to know Li Zhien's strength. As the leader of the three major chaebols in Bangzi Country, it can be said that there are few people in the entire Asia who can be on an equal footing with her.
The company she invested in is definitely not bad, so she shouldn't worry so much.
After Suzuki Qing hesitated for a few seconds, he said: "We are also willing to give it a try. I believe that President Li will not misjudge the person. Since she chose you, Mr. Yang, as a partner, she must have her reasons."
Li Zhien said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Suzuki for your trust in me. Nowadays, global competition is very fierce. It is better for us to join forces to compete with other companies than to compete with each other. Are the three presidents right?"
Toyoda Akira laughed loudly and said: "President Li is right. It is better for us to work together to deal with others than to target each other. I don't hesitate anymore. Our Toyota Group is also willing to cooperate. Now please invite Mr. Yang and Li Hui Please tell us how to cooperate."
What Yang Chen is interested in is the patented technology of these three companies, not the money they invested.
It is no exaggeration to say that what Yang Chen lacks most is money.
But there are almost no patented technologies, and he doesn’t want to slowly train technicians for research and development, so he can only take shortcuts.
Yang Chen: "I'll give the three of you two choices. First, share all your patented technologies with our new company. In addition, each company will inject another 1 billion meters of gold, and each company will receive 5% of the equity. Second, each company will Inject 5 billion meters of gold and obtain 10% of the equity. The three of you can think carefully about which method is more suitable."
As soon as the three of them heard the offer, they broke their guard on the spot.
Good guy, are you taking them for granted?
With 5 billion meters of gold, you can only get 10% of the equity. Doesn't that mean that Yang Chen's valuation of the company is as high as 50 billion meters of gold?
Before the company was fully built, he dared to value it at 50 billion meters.
If the company builds its first car, wouldn't it want to increase its valuation to 100 billion meters?
That's outrageous.
Suzuki Kei: "Mr. Yang, is your quote too high?"
Toyoda Akira: "It's ridiculously high. The valuation is 50 billion meters. It's too exaggerated. What is your basis?"
Yang Chen: "The basis is what I said at the beginning. No matter how much money I have to invest in the future, I will keep doing it. I will never give up until I become the strongest in the world. The company's first phase investment has reached 10 billion meters Gold scale, the second phase of 30 billion meters of gold investment has also been prepared. And after the project is completed, the company will have the ability to build cars and batteries. And after the second phase of the project is completed, we will use our own research and development methods to update the technology. We The technologies currently in use will all be eliminated. Listen up, they will all be eliminated and upgraded to the latest technology. I only valued it at 5 times the first phase of investment, which is already very conservative. The three presidents should not just see what is in front of them. With this little effort, you have to think about what you might get in the future.”
Suzuki Kei and the other three people didn't know how to deal with what Yang Chen said.
While they felt that what Yang Chen said made sense, they also felt that Yang Chen was trying to spread the pie for them.
It is too exaggerated to ask them to spend 5 billion meters in gold in exchange for 10% of the equity before the factory has even started construction.
In fact, they didn't lose at all.
Because Yang Chen will really continue to invest in the company until the company surpasses Tesla and becomes the world's strongest new energy vehicle company.
As he continues to invest, the company's valuation will definitely continue to increase, and it will be a matter of time before it quintuples.
They definitely won't lose money, it's just a matter of how much they make.
Yang Chen gave them 10% of the equity, and he didn't feel bad either.
Because he will continue to invest more in the later period, it will dilute their equity.
Maybe one day in the future, their 10% stake will be diluted to 1%.
Now they just want to use their technology for free to help the company quickly establish itself in the market in the early stage.
After a while, Honda Henan stood up.
He smiled and said: "Mr. Yang, President Li, I can only say sorry. Your cooperation conditions are too harsh and we cannot meet them. In this case, I will leave first and continue the discussion without disturbing you. Okay?"
Yang Chen smiled and nodded.
Li Zhien also smiled slightly and did not hold back.
Once Honda leaves, Toyota can no longer sit still.
Because it is impossible for mature companies to accept Yang Chen's offer.
Toyoda Henan also stood up, said goodbye to Yang Chen and Li Zhien, turned around and left.
Suzuki Kei has rich experience. He feels that he needs time to think carefully and cannot make a decision immediately.
"Mr. Yang, please tell me something that speaks from your heart. Isn't there any room for negotiation in the quotation you gave?" Suzuki Kei asked seriously.
Yang Chen shook his head very seriously and said: "There is no room for negotiation. The offer I gave is already a very friendly offer. It is no exaggeration to say that I am giving you money. Mr. Suzuki can think about it carefully and there is no need to worry. Make a decision."
Suzuki Kei nodded with a smile and said: "Mr. Yang, you see those two companies have been scared away by you. Apart from cooperating with me, you can't find a better partner in the island country. The quotation you gave is really It's too high and unacceptable. As long as you lower it a little bit, I will nod immediately. How about it?"
"Haha... Mr. Suzuki may have some misunderstandings. Chairman Li and I have the ability to start a new company, and we don't necessarily need partners. There are two reasons why I am willing to give you the opportunity to cooperate. First, in the future Chairman Li and I don’t need to worry about the affairs of the island country. The partners are responsible for taking care of it. Second, you have mature technology, and we can use it when we get it. We don’t have to slowly negotiate with you to purchase technology and other matters. But you also It can be heard that these two reasons are not that we can't solve them by ourselves, they just cost some time and money. I just don't want to waste time and money now, so I am willing to find a partner. But if there is a price to pay for finding a partner I won't accept it if it exceeds my psychological expectations. I would rather spend my own time and money to slowly solve the problem." Yang Chen replied very seriously.
When Suzuki Qing saw Yang Chen's resolute attitude, he was too embarrassed to make any further counteroffers.
Now he has to think carefully about whether he can accept Yang Chen's offer.
This may be an opportunity, or it may be a waste of money.
This is a great test of Suzuki Kei's vision and judgment.
