Chapter 544: Empire Group's Huge Financing for Pingguo Company!

Chapter 544: Empire Group's huge financing for Pingguo Company! Shocked Country M!!

When the sixteen mezzanine financing investors of Pingguo Company learned that Sir Yang, the chairman of Empire Group, was going to finance Pingguo Company and buy it at $20 per share, these people had no way to refuse.

Even if they would not sell all their shares, they would sell part of them to Empire Group.

It is still a while before the end of the year whether it can be listed, and listing does not mean that the stock price will continue to rise.

There is also a time limit for the original shareholders to sell.

In other words, they are very interested in the financing price given by Empire Group.

March 19, 1980.

Wednesday.

8:00 am.

Jobs, Wozniak, and Markkula came to Connor Manor to meet Sir Yang.

"Young Master Yang, there are three people outside, two of whom are Mr. Jobs and Mr. Wozniak."

Three people outside?

Yang Ming came out of the study.

He saw the figures of Jobs, Wozniak, and Markkula.

In history, Jobs was betrayed by Markkula, which led to Jobs being kicked out of his own Pingguo company, and he did not return until 1997.

Now it seems that Markkula has no opinion on Jobs.

In other words, people will change.

Especially when facing the problem of interests.

In Yang Ming's view, if Pingguo Company does not have Jobs, it is equivalent to having no soul. Without Jobs, Pingguo Company cannot develop at all.

He can see it from the fact that Jobs left Pingguo Company and Pingguo Company entered a period of decline. Now it is meaningless for Yang Ming to buy the original shares of Pingguo Company. It is better to wait until Pingguo Company goes public and then buy it.

"Sir Yang, this is my other partner Mr. Markkula."

"Hello, Sir Yang."

Markkula looked at Sir Yang with admiration and said.

He knew that Sir Yang's industries were all over the world, especially the Jardine Group and Hutchison Whampoa Group acquired by Sir Yang, which actually had their industries in the United States.

It was precisely because of that that Markkula saw Sir Yang and really admired him.

In this era, before they became billionaires, they knew that Sir Yang could become the richest man in Hong Kong, and his net worth was unknown, which really made them admire him.

"Three, let's go to the study to talk."

Arriving at Yang Ming's study, it was much more comfortable with the heating.

After Jobs, Wozniak, and Markkula sat down separately.

"Sir Yang, after the discussion among us shareholder representatives, they are very happy to accept the financing of Future Capital."

This seemed to be within Yang Ming's expectations.

"Mr. Jobs, I have handed over the financing of Pingguo Company to Future Capital. Mr. Yuan and Mr. Landon will talk to you at that time. However, I plan to buy 30% of Pingguo Company's original shares."

30% of Pingguo Company's original shares?

This involves 19.23 million shares, and nearly 400 million US dollars.

In this era, this is definitely a lot of money. It can even be said that it is a super-large venture capital in Silicon Valley for so many years.

This is different from listing. This is pre-listing financing.

The most important thing is that it involves a lot.

Jobs, Wozniak, and Markkula looked at each other, all very excited and surprised.

If Future Capital wants to buy 30% of the original shares, it is equivalent to diluting their current shares by 30%. If there are shareholder representatives who are willing to sell more of their original shares, and there are shareholders who are unwilling to sell so many, these can be discussed.

Anyway, the dilution is 30% of the shares, and the Future Capital of Empire Group will become the largest shareholder of Pingguo Company with 30% of the shares.

As the largest shareholder, it will involve management rights, voting rights, etc.

These are all to be negotiated.

"Mr. Jobs, I am only interested in the original shares of Pingguo Company, and I am not interested in management. In other words, I and Future Capital will not interfere with the management of Pingguo Company. In addition, I am very supportive of Mr. Jobs, that is, as long as our Future Capital successfully raises funds for Pingguo Company, then no matter when, we will support Mr. Jobs in the management of Pingguo Company."

Jobs was even more surprised after hearing this.

He didn't expect Sir Yang to support him like that.

This means that even if he doesn't have many shares, he is stable as the founder and management of Pingguo Company.

Wozniacki and Markkula, who were standing by, felt a little jealous and looked at Jobs with envy.

They couldn't understand why Sir Yang supported Jobs like that.

Yang Ming even said directly: "The reason why I raised funds for Pingguo Company is that I am optimistic about Mr. Jobs. If Mr. Jobs leaves Pingguo Company, then I will not spend a penny to raise funds for Pingguo Company."

"Sir Yang, thank you very much for your support."

Jobs looked at Yang Ming excitedly and said.

Speaking of which, Jobs' identity is somewhat different from other M people.

Although he was born and raised in M ​​country, his biological father is Arab and his biological mother is German. However, he was abandoned by his parents just after he was born.

Fortunately, Paul Jobs and Clara Jobs, a kind couple, adopted him.

It is precisely because of that that he may have a different view of his origins, which can be seen from his later treatment of his family, especially his attitude towards his daughter Lisa.

This may be related to his childhood experience.

What he didn't expect was that Sir Yang of the Imperial Group not only provided large amounts of financing to Pingguo Company, but also proposed not to interfere with Pingguo Company's management rights and support Steve Jobs.

How could Jobs not be moved by this?

"Everyone, I will let people from Future Capital Company talk to you. After the financing is negotiated, our Empire Group can also send people to talk to you about the purchase of Pingguo computers in the future."

"Sir Yang, thank you so much."

The three Jobs were also very excited.

"In addition, I think we can also discuss the cooperation issue with Empire Games. However, both parties must be satisfied."

Even if Yang Ming successfully finances Pingguo Company, acquires 30% of the original shares, and is already the largest shareholder of Pingguo Company, the matter involving cooperation with Empire Games is a matter between the two companies, and Yang Ming knows that it will be discussed.

Pingguo Company is not a company controlled by him, and it cannot be controlled by him.

. . .

the next day.

San Francisco newspapers, San Francisco Chinese newspapers, and Silicon Valley technology newspapers all reported news that shocked San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and even Country M.

Future Capital, a company established by Empire Group in Silicon Valley, is about to conduct the largest financing in Pingguo Company's history, even in the history of Silicon Valley.

The financing amount is nearly US$400 million.

This news really shocked Silicon Valley, Country M, and even the technology circles of Country M.
