Chapter 74: Winning the B round, directly attacking Haina Capital!
"Mr. Zhang, wait a minute! The market value you just mentioned is acceptable to the three of us!"
Yuan Zhen, head of Haina Capital, the lead investor, immediately stepped forward!
Zhang Yiming, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks, looked at Yuan Zhen with a smile and said, "Mr. Yuan, you should know that what we entrepreneurs value most is keeping our word. You don't want me to break my promise, do you?"
After saying that, Zhang Yiming walked out of the meeting room with a big laugh, and Su Chen signaled Zong Xinyao to follow him and asked her to be responsible for the contract.
"You" Yuan Zhen had nothing to say and stared fiercely at Zhang Yiming's departing back.
At this time, only Su Chen and three investment companies including Haina Capital were left in the conference room.
"Mr. Su, what you did this time is really not fair. Isn't it a bit breaking the rules?" Guo Chuang of Youli Capital lost the opportunity to raise funds this time. He was very angry. When he saw Su Chen standing leisurely on the side, he immediately targeted him.
"Rules? What rules? In the world of capitalism, the winner is king. If Mr. Guo doesn't even know this, he should just go back and hug his child!"
Guo Chuang's face instantly turned gloomy, "Humph! Young people nowadays really don't know their place, they even speak without restraint!"
"Hahaha~ How dare you, a gunman, show off here?"
Guo Chuang was speechless for a moment, and glanced at Yuan Zhen and the other person beside him. They both looked at each other with their eyes on the nose and their noses on their hearts, as if they had nothing to do with the matter.
At this moment he also realized that he was just a gun hired by others, but now he was useless and others no longer cared about him.
Guo Chuang wanted to say something harsh, but when he thought about Haina Capital and Original Code Capital, who were entities he could not afford to offend, he immediately walked out of the meeting room.
After Guo Chuang left, Su Chen turned his gaze to Yuan Zhen and Lan Zhen.
"The financing has been completed, why aren't you two leaving yet!" Su Chen leaned back in his chair with his arms folded, saying with a smile on his face.
Yuan Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Su Chen's face for a long time before he said, "Mr. Su, there are no outsiders here. Just say whatever you want to say."
As the head of Haina Capital, Yuan Zhen is not a fool. The financing negotiations have ended and the contract is about to be signed, but Su Chen, the head of Yunmengze Capital, has not left. There must be other things.
And this matter is definitely related to Haina Capital and Original Code Capital.
Su Chen was not going to keep the secret any longer and said directly: "I am interested in the Byte shares held by both of you. I wonder how much you are willing to sell them for!"
"Huh?" Yuan Zhen and Lan Zhen both frowned.
Original Code Capital acquired 20% of ByteDance’s shares in the angel round, and after the A round of financing, it still holds 15% of ByteDance’s shares.
Haina Capital raised US$10 million in its Series A financing and holds a % stake.
The two companies currently hold a total of 25% of the shares. According to the market assessment given by Zhang Yiming before, Su Chen will need to spend at least million to purchase the shares held by the two companies.
"I wonder how much money Mr. Su is willing to pay to buy out our shares?" Yuan Zhen crossed his fingers under his chin, his eyes filled with anticipation.
There is no such thing as personal relationships in the capital world. As long as the money is in place, anything can be sold!
What's more, Zhang Yiming had been planning to plot against them before, so there was no need for him to show any mercy.
"Just follow the price we discussed before. If you two think it's okay, you can trade at any time!" After Su Chen finished speaking, he looked at the two of them quietly.
Yuan Zhen and Lan Zhen were also a little surprised when they heard this. After looking at each other, they gathered together and started talking in a low voice. Seeing this, Su Chen's mouth curled up slightly, and he knew in his heart that this matter was basically a sure thing.
Su Chen had done some research before. The two investment companies each invested one million US dollars, and only about a year had passed. This deal was not a loss for them. It depended on whether they would consider the immediate benefits or gamble on the future development of ByteDance.
However, Su Chen could see that Haina Capital and Original Code Capital did not attach much importance to ByteDance's future development, otherwise they would not have lowered the estimated market value of ByteDance during the previous negotiations.
After waiting for about two or three minutes, Yuan Zhen and Lan Zhen seemed to have reached an agreement and both had smiles on their faces.
"Mr. Su, Lan Zhen and I have discussed this. If you are really interested in purchasing the company, we can add 10% to the previous amount. If possible, we can sign the contract later!"
Su Chen pretended to think about it for about seven or eight seconds before he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
"Okay~ I'll add 10% to the base price. After I finish my business, we can meet somewhere?"
Hearing Su Chen's agreement, the two of them showed proud smiles on their faces, "No problem!"
The three of them exchanged their contact information and exchanged a few pleasantries, then Yuan Zhen and Lan Zhen left in a proud and unrestrained manner.
Su Chen didn’t know whether his decision was right or wrong, but his intuition told him that if he didn’t acquire the company, he would definitely regret it in the future.
Even if the investment really fails, it's only a matter of 100 or 200 million, which is just a drop in the bucket for Su Chen!
"Today is a good day. Everything you want will come true. Today is a good day."
Su Chen had just hummed a few lines when the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Zong Xinyao and Zhang Yiming walked in, talking and laughing.
"Boss, the contract has been signed, and the funds have been transferred to ByteDance's account!"
Su Chen nodded when he heard this and stood up from his chair. He saw Zhang Yiming walking towards him with a smile on his face.
"Hello, Mr. Su. I've heard Xinyao mention your name a long time ago. She said you look young. It's really better to meet you in person than to hear about your name. Why don't you come to my office for tea and chat?"
Zhang Yiming excitedly held Su Chen's hand. He was particularly happy that Su Chen was able to obtain the B round of financing. His plan was finally realized.
The corners of Su Chen's mouth curled up slightly, "Hahaha~ Sorry for bothering you then!"
Zhang Yiming's office is not very big, only about 30 square meters. In addition to the office area, there is also a tea room that can seat about four or five people.
It's true, Zhang Yiming's tea-making technique is quite good, with such smooth movements that Su Chen almost clapped his hands in applause!
Su Chen watched the tender green tea leaves in the cup slowly unfold. The tea leaves floated in the water and the air was filled with the fragrance of tea, giving people a fresh and natural feeling.
"This is the Mingqian Longjing tea that was just harvested this year. Mr. Su, please taste it and see how it tastes!"
Su Chen didn't hesitate to take a sip from the teacup. As soon as he took a sip, he could smell the fragrance of tea, followed by a light sweetness. He couldn't help but drink two more sips.
“It tastes really good!”
"Hahaha, as long as Mr. Su likes it!"
Seeing Su Chen's unsatisfied look, Zhang Yiming also smiled.
