Chapter 921: Four Billion Dollars Guaranteed
After Qin Yuhan left, Li Dong simply arranged the follow-up matters.
On the 13th, Li Dong and Sun Tao boarded a flight to Pingchuan.
This time back to Pingchuan, Li Dong chartered a flight.
Sun Tao and the others brought a lot of people, and it was troublesome to book tickets, so they might as well charter a flight.
Others have to queue up for charter flights and prepare various documents, but it is much easier for Li Dong and the others.
Sichuan Airlines will not set up obstacles here, and the Sichuan and Shu governments want them to leave as soon as possible, so the chartered flight will naturally go smoothly.
Shen Qian didn't go back with her, and Huang Shanshan didn't go back to Jiangbei except her.
Before leaving, Li Dong met Huang Shanshan and talked with her for a while, just to persuade her to go back to Jiangbei.
But Huang Shanshan said that she doesn't want to go back now, and Li Dong can't take her away by force.
In the end, Li Dong told Shen Qian to remember to take Huang Shanshan with her when she left, so that women can communicate better.
...
On the afternoon of the 13th, Li Dong arrived in Pingchuan.
Yuan Chengdao brought people to pick him up at the airport in person, and a large number of media also blocked people at the airport.
Yuanfang Group communicated with the airport and left early through a special channel, but did not meet these media reporters.
...
Faraway Building.
As soon as Li Dong arrived, cheers erupted from the Yuanfang Building.
The enthusiasm of the employees made Li Dong a little overwhelmed. This time Li Dong had an accident in Sichuan, and Yuanfang Group almost messed up.
Fortunately, shortly after the incident, Li Dong held a press conference. The employees saw Li Dong on Weibo, and their hearts fell.
Now that the boss has returned safely, the previous apprehension disappeared immediately.
Li Dong and the staff greeted each other with a smile, and then they followed Yuan Chengdao upstairs.
...
meeting room.
As soon as Li Dong sat down, Yuan Chengdao applauded first, and the others applauded one after another.
Li Dong laughed and said: "What's the matter, this is, I haven't seen you for a few days, and everyone doesn't know me anymore?"
Yuan Chengdao said with a wry smile: "It's not that we don't know each other, it's that everyone is relieved. Mr. Li, you scared us this time. We showed more enthusiasm and hoped that you would consider our feelings more in the future.
Our ability to withstand stress is weak and we cannot compare with you.
After going down for a few times, I suspect that we will all suffer from nervous breakdown. I really don't want to experience that kind of unprecedented pressure for a second time. "
The others nodded one after another. This time it really scared a lot of people.
In fact, this kind of thing happened once before. At that time, Li Dong smashed his head, and the outside world rumored what happened to him.
But at that time, Yuanfang was not so big, and everyone didn't see Li Dong's injury with their own eyes.
This time is different, the photos on the Internet are very clear.
With a bloody mess on his head and the fact that he was far away in Sichuan, everyone was naturally more worried.
If not, Sun Tao and the others would not be urgently sent to Sichuan to pick them up.
Li Dong said helplessly: "I don't want this kind of thing either, but there won't be a next time. Before I came back, I was nagged by Mr. Shen and Mr. Sun for a while, so please stop nagging me.
Let's talk about business first. During the time I'm leaving, the group is fine, right? "
Yuan Chengdao hurriedly said: "It's nothing serious, why don't I report to you another day, now that your body has not recovered, it is not appropriate to work too hard."
Li Dong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm not a paper man, you have seen it yourself, the gauze on the forehead was removed, and the scabs will heal soon.
Don't talk about these, I won't ask other questions, just talk about financing.
Ask Mr. Sun, Mr. Sun still played sloppy eyes on me, now that I am back, I will talk about this financing in detail. "
Others looked at Sun Tao and Yuan Chengdao one after another, obviously asking if they should report to the boss at this time?
Yuan Chengdao didn't speak, but looked at Sun Tao.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Sun Tao said helplessly: "Don't look at me, I'm not hiding from Mr. Li, I really didn't have the heart to report these things before.
Now that Mr. Li is fine, I will briefly report the financing plan. "
Having said that, Sun Tao glanced at Yuan Chengdao.
This guy is still playing this game with himself, you see what I do, whether to report or not, is there any hesitation at this time?
Everyone was staring at me, as if I had all the power in the world.
But in fact, Li Dong is the absolute ruler in the distance, and whoever has his head flooded is as good as Li Dong.
Both Yuan Chengdao and Sun Tao understood this, but Yuan Chengdao, the president, insisted on seeing him and waiting for his reply, which made Sun Tao very depressed.
But he could also understand that Yuan Chengdao might have a sense of crisis.
He, the president, is not responsible for such a big matter of financing, everyone should think more about it.
Sun Tao didn't say any more, and coughed lightly: "Since the news of our financing spread, there have been many interested financial institutions.
Almost all the institutions that quoted last year came. Among them, Sequoia, IDG, and DFJ led the investment, followed by a group of small and medium-sized financial institutions. After all, the amount of financing we need this time is not low.
In addition to their acquaintances, some new institutions have also joined in.
Among them, the more powerful companies including Goldman Sachs, Fidelity, and TDF also participated. These companies had invested in Ali at the beginning and obtained rich returns.
However, in the later period, they all withdrew one after another, and their profits were not as much as those of Softbank.
This time, I probably saw an opportunity, and several companies came.
In addition to these few, there is another one with more complicated ingredients..."
Li Dong saw that he was talking about this company alone, so he couldn't help asking: "Who? Could it be Softbank?"
"This is not true, Softbank and Ali are too close, and they will not come to us at this time.
Several state-owned financial institutions led by China Development Bank and CITIC Capital also jointly participated. "
Li Dong was interested when he heard it: "These companies also participated? Do they have money?"
It's not that Li Dong underestimated these state-owned capital institutions, in fact, these few are absolutely powerful.
The key issue is that they are state-owned assets!
In fact, state-owned assets are not too open to the Internet industry, and they are often timid.
This time Li Dong needs a large amount of financing, but they can come up with the money. The key is whether they dare to raise a large amount of money far away?
Sun Tao replied after hearing the words: "I think they are more open this time, the quotation is not low, and even exceeds the quotation of some foreign-funded institutions.
Of course, it is just a quotation, and the specific financing conditions have not been discussed yet.
As for what they plan to do in the later stage, because I went to Sichuan and Sichuan in the past few days, I didn't continue to talk about it. "
Li Dong nodded slightly, didn't ask any more questions, but said: "Let's not talk about these, you can talk about the quotations of these companies first.
The overall quotation is too low, and there is no need to continue the negotiation.
There is no need to waste our time. "
Sun Tao continued after hearing the words: "This time we focus on Yuanfang Mall, PP, and Weibo, and the quotations are reported separately.
When financing last year, IDG offered the highest price. Although IDG is not the highest this year, it is still at the forefront. Let me talk about IDG first.
The quotation they gave was 1.2 billion US dollars for the mall, 600 million US dollars for PP, and 1 billion US dollars for Weibo. "
"3 billion?"
Li Dong frowned slightly and said, "So, apart from Weibo being extremely favored, Mall and PP are not favored?"
Last year, IDG’s first round of quotations was USD 800 million for the mall, USD 500 million for PP, and USD 100 million for Weibo.
This year's re-quotation, the mall and PP did not increase much, in fact, there was almost no increase.
Because the mall is growing continuously, after the snowstorm, the market share of the mall has increased by a large margin.
More than 400 million U.S. dollars is actually what it should be.
Not to mention PP, with an increase of 100 million US dollars, there is even a decline.
Only Weibo suddenly exploded, and IDG's quotation has increased ten times compared to last year. Of course, this is also related to the low quotation last year.
Seeing Li Dong frown, Sun Tao immediately said: "The price is actually within a reasonable range, after all, this year is different from last year, we didn't take many things into account.
Especially on the PP side, we even split off part of the business.
As a result, the valuation of PP has dropped a lot. If other industries are included together, the valuation will not be too low. "
Li Dong pondered for a moment, then asked, "Where is the Guokai Bank?"
"The quotations given by the China Development Bank are not low, but they are the overall valuation of the three businesses, and they have given a quotation of 22 billion yuan."
"It's not too low." Li Dong nodded. Indeed, this price is not as good as IDG's, but relatively speaking, the CDB's can be regarded as a big hit this time.
Dare to give a sky-high price of more than 20 billion, I have to say that I still have courage.
Next, Sun Tao said the quotations of several other companies, and the difference is generally not too big.
The high one is about 3.2 billion U.S. dollars, and several low ones have given an offer of 2 billion U.S. dollars.
Li Dong ignored these companies directly.
In fact, Li Dong was quite satisfied with this result.
After all, this year, only three businesses were financed separately, excluding logistics and Wanka.
Now that the global financial crisis is underway, these financial institutions are doing their best to be able to offer such a price at this time, especially when Ali's stock is plummeting.
3.2 billion US dollars, that is about 25 billion yuan.
This is still part of Yuanfang Science and Technology's industry. If others are added, it will be at least 30 billion or more.
If you add logistics, 40 billion is appropriate.
A technology company that is still in the financing stage can offer this price, and everyone has sincerity.
Of course, compared to Facebook, an unlisted company valued at 120 billion, Yuanfang Technology is a bit weaker.
There is no other way, playing on the Internet, I have to say, at this time the whole world thinks that Laomei is a little more awesome.
In fact, this is also true. Even Li Dong admits that the domestic Internet industry is not as good as Laomei at this time.
But I always feel sour. Facebook is almost like Weibo. I also attached a mall and PP. You gave a quotation of about 25 billion, which is a bit bullying.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Dongdao: "This price is still a bit low. They have to consider what we can gain after defeating Taobao and QQ..."
Everyone is a little embarrassed, boss, we are embarrassed to say this.
There is still hope for Taobao.
After all, Taobao at this time is not so strong that it is impeccable, but on the QQ side, it is not that they are not confident, it is really difficult.
Yuanfang PP now has nearly 100 million registered users, but QQ is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, with more than 400 million registered users.
The proportion of active users is also high, at least 5 times stronger than PP.
As for Taobao, there is actually not much difference between the two registered users. In terms of sales, Yuanfang is only slightly behind.
If we really want to compare the truth, now there is another big promotion, it is hard to say who will win and who will lose.
So everyone has the confidence to surpass Taobao, but QQ really has no confidence.
Seeing their expressions, Li Dong said helplessly: "Why are you all looking at me? It's not illegal to talk about it. If nothing else, I'm sure I can kill Taobao!
As for Tencent, even if we can't kill them, the gap between us is gradually narrowing.
Last year we had a 10-fold gap, but this year it has narrowed to 5-fold.
Maybe in another two years, it is not impossible to shrink to 3 times or even 2 times.
And I still have a trump card, I will get rid of them sooner or later. Since Apple released the iPhone, have you not noticed that the mobile phone market has been changing?
I think, sooner or later we will eliminate computers and enter the era of mobile phones for all.
I have discussed this matter with Liu Hong and the others before, and we will also work hard in this direction in the next few years.
We can't compete with Tencent on the PC side, but when we enter the mobile side, they may not be so strong. "
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard the words, and turned their eyes to Liu Hong.
Liu Hong felt a little helpless. Li Dong had said this, but the smartphones that appeared on the market now, to be honest, were not enough to change anything.
However, after all, Liu Hong has been in control of Yuanfang Technology for a while, and his vision has improved a lot. Hearing this, he thought for a while and said, "I think this possibility is still possible, so the future that Mr. Li said is not completely hopeless..."
He said a few words, but he was not too sure.
Li Dong didn't care, and continued the previous topic: "So, it is very possible for us to surpass Taobao and QQ.
In this case, naturally we cannot sell our property cheaply.
How about this, Mr. Sun, if you communicate with these institutions again, the minimum limit is 4 billion U.S. dollars. If it is lower, we will not discuss it. "
"Cough cough cough..."
Sun Tao smiled bitterly, 4 billion US dollars, more than 30 billion yuan, the boss really dare to say.
But this possibility is not impossible, it was only the first round of quotations before.
In fact, there is not much difference between financing and buying vegetables in the vegetable market. It is normal to bargain.
Now the price offered in the first round has reached 3.2 billion US dollars, and we will talk about it next time. It is normal for the price to rise a little bit.
But others also understand that the difficulty is actually quite high.
The quotations of general financing institutions fluctuate up to 10% within this range.
A sudden increase of 25% may scare away a large number of financial institutions.
It's hard to return, Sun Tao didn't say much, nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll talk to them, but Mr. Li, I think it's better to add the items of Wanka.
In this way, the quotation will be much higher.
Now that it is split, the valuation will be limited..."
Li Dong waved his hand and said: "I have my own arrangements for this matter, I will talk about it later, anyway, your task now is to strive for the bottom line of 4 billion US dollars.
At this price point, we can continue to talk about other things, otherwise it will be useless. "
"Okay, I see."
Sun Tao responded, glanced at Yuan Chengdao, and thought to himself: "If you have the ability, you can take over the task now. I really don't want to do this."
