Chapter 826: SoftBank’s First Contact with Yang Chen

Yang Chen answered Zhang Yiming's question very honestly. He acquired the equity in Douyin so that he can use Douyin as he wants in the future and will not be restricted by anyone.

As for whether it is a value investment or if he has other ideas, Yang Chen can't say yet. He will decide whether it is a pure investment or a way to hold a controlling stake based on the situation in the future.

Zhang Yiming said very strongly and clearly: "If Director Yang is just playing around, there is no problem. If Director Yang wants to control Douyin, then don't even think about it, I won't agree."

Yang Chen smiled and said: "The initial thought of every boss of a listed company is that no one can take away his control of the company. But when that time comes, it is not up to him to decide. Listed companies are easy to The Lord is nothing new, right? So, Director Zhang, it’s better not to be so absolute in what he says.”

Zhang Yiming: "Haha... Director Yang is right, no one can predict the future. But for now, I will never allow anyone to take away my control of the company. If anyone has this idea, I will I will definitely stay with you until the end.”

Yang Chen: "I'm afraid Director Zhang didn't understand what I just said. Some things are not just what you want. Never think too much of yourself. Otherwise, when something happens to you, you will find that it is different from what you imagined. , but it will hurt your self-esteem."

Zhang Yiming: "Haha... let's wait and see. I've already said what I need to say. I hope Director Yang will think twice before acting and never do anything that he will regret."

Yang Chen: "I never regret anything. If there is something that really makes me regret, I will definitely make up for it and I will never give myself a chance to regret it."

Seeing that he couldn't defeat Yang Chen, Zhang Yiming could only hang up the phone angrily.

Yang Chen smiled and was about to put his phone away when the system sent out a reminder.

System: "The system triggers a temporary task, asking the owner to acquire at least 45% of Douyin's equity. After completing the task, the owner will get a chance to win a lottery draw. After completing the draw, the system will reward the owner with discretionary funds. The specific amount of the funds is calculated The method is: the number drawn in the carousel lottery X the amount of money spent by the owner to acquire the equity of Douyin. For example: the owner draws the number 2 through the carousel lottery, and the owner spends 50 billion meters to acquire at least 45% of the equity in Douyin. System The discretionary funds awarded to the owner are 2*500=100 billion meters of gold. It should be noted that the numbers in the carousel lottery may not all be greater than 1."

Not necessarily all are greater than 1, which means that the funds rewarded by the system to Yang Chen may not be as much as the money he spent to acquire Douyin's equity.

If Yang Chen draws 0.2, the system will reward him with 0.2*500=10 billion gold.

After spending 50 billion meters of gold, the system rewarded 10 billion meters of gold. This was a big loss.

However, Yang Chen felt that his luck should not be that bad, and it was unlikely that he would draw a number of 0 or less than 1.

Taking a step back, even if he drew a number less than 1, or even directly drew 0, it would be okay.

The money was spent, and Yang Chen didn't expect to get it back right away.

Waiting for Douyin to go public and cash out is better than leaving it in the bank and earning a little interest.

So, what is there to hesitate about?

Yang Chen immediately accepted the system task.

System: 'After receiving the master's instructions, the task officially takes effect. Please complete the task as soon as possible. ’

Originally there was no system mission, so Yang Chen wanted to acquire as much equity in Douyin as possible.

Now that he has the blessing of system tasks, he is even more unscrupulous in acquiring the equity of Douyin.

At this time, SoftBank's boss Sun called Yang Chen.

SoftBank holds 4.5% of the equity in Douyin. Boss Sun means that if Yang Chen really acquires the company at a valuation of 150 billion meters, he is willing to sell 3% of it, leaving 1.5% of the equity for thought.

If Douyin goes public in the future and its market value exceeds 150 billion yuan at its peak, he can cash out and earn more.

If Douyin's market value is wretched in the future and does not reach 150 billion yuan, or even the current valuation of 100 billion yuan, he will not care.

Because he has already made three times his profit by selling 35% of his shares based on a market value of 150 billion meters. He is not afraid that the remaining 1.5% is not worth even a penny.

However, the task given by the system is to acquire at least 45% of the shares, but the total shareholding ratio of all shareholders except Zhang Yiming and his concerted parties is only 49%.

This also means that Yang Chen only has 4% room to float. Now that Boss Sun wants to sell his shares, Yang Chen must try his best to buy all the 4.5% he has, so as not to end up with less than 45%, which is impossible. Complete system tasks.

Therefore, Yang Chen discussed with Boss Sun, hoping that the other party would sell all the shares in his hands.

Since Boss Sun wants to sell his shares, of course he doesn't mind selling them all.

This is where he is shrewd as an investor. He knew that Yang Chen wanted to acquire as much equity in Douyin as possible, so he deliberately left a little bit to lure Yang Chen to buy it at a higher price.

Of course Yang Chen understands Boss Sun's little thoughts.

Let's put it this way, no matter how high the price Yang Chen gives him, he may make a lot of money, but there is a high probability that Yang Chen will make more than him.

So, what's there to hesitate about?

As long as it's a problem that can be solved with money, it's not a problem.

"If Boss Sun feels that the valuation of 150 billion meters of gold is not satisfactory to you, you can set the price yourself. As long as I don't think it is too much, it won't be a big problem." Yang Chen said with a smile.

Boss Sun deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Director Yang, I really don't want to sell out all the equity in my hand, so you should leave some for me."

He was still pretending here, and Yang Chen said with a smile: "Otherwise, I have some business dealings with the two groups of Yamaguchi and Shindaokawa in your island country, and I have a pretty good relationship with the two presidents. I will do it another day When you go to visit them, take them with you to visit Boss Sun. Maybe it’s not clear on the phone, so it’s better to talk in person.”

Boss Sun immediately became nervous and asked quickly: "Does Mr. Yang know Chairman Yamaguchi and Chairman Suzuki well?"

Yang Chen: "It's not about whether we are familiar with each other, but we can sit and eat together."

SoftBank is great, but the two organizations Yamaguchi and Shin Inagawa cannot be compared with money.

Normally, when everyone gets along peacefully, everything will be fine.

But if Yamaguchi and Shin Inakawa really want to cause trouble, Boss Sun will also be afraid.

Boss Sun also understood that Yang Chen was warning him not to be careless, otherwise he might not be able to bear the consequences.

However, he is the leader of a super investment consortium, so he definitely can't be scared by Yang Chen's few words.

Therefore, Boss Sun said: "Director Yang will come to visit the two presidents another day. Remember to come to me. I have been following Director Yang for a long time, and I haven't seen such an aggressive young man like you for a long time."

The meaning of this is to try Yang Chen's true ability.

Yang Chen replied: "Okay, after I finish the things at hand, I will definitely go back to the island country to visit Boss Sun. I will first ask the two presidents to help me contact Boss Sun, so that we can talk when we meet."

Boss Sun: "Haha... OK, I'll wait. If nothing happens, just hang up. Wait until Director Yang has finished what he is doing."

After saying that, Boss Sun hung up the phone.

Since Boss Sun thinks he is very powerful, let's test his quality.

Yang Chen immediately sent a message to Yamaguchi Zeen and Suzuki Sanosuke...
