Chapter 143: It’s great to be rich.
Whether you want to fight or not depends on your strength, but if you don\'t fight there is a problem with your attitude.
Lu Rong didn\'t want to be held accountable for this after going back.
Seeing that everyone was interested in adding more money, Xiao Zha looked a little proud.
Teenagers are crazy, that\'s how it should be!
Since no one quits, the next step is to the highest bidder.
Li Zhenyu stared at the white paper in front of him, thinking about what price he should offer?
Each person only has one chance to bid. If he bids less, he will be intercepted. If he bids more...
how much is too much?
"BOSS, the price increase should not exceed 10 million."
Claire believes that the premium for half of the shares will not exceed this amount, and the total price should be around 260 million.
If you are worried, you can add 1 to 2 million more.
But Li Zhenyu felt that this price was not very safe.
Others judge the value of Facebook based on the present, but only Li Zhenyu knows how impressive its market value will be in the future.
If you look at the whole picture from the future, you won\'t think that 260 million is a safe number.
Li Zhenyu didn\'t know how much others would pay. He just asked himself a question in his heart.
Which one does he want more, money or shares?
In fact, I already had the answer when I hesitated.
After thinking about this, Li Zhenyu wrote down a number on the paper without hesitation.
Claire, who had been observing, couldn\'t help but widen her eyes.
But before she said anything, Li Zhenyu had already handed over the folded note.
Claire reached out to grab it, but put her hand down halfway.
Li Zhenyu doesn\'t like others to interfere in his decisions, and he hates Lao Mo\'s free and loose character.
Therefore, it is better not to get into trouble yourself.
"Goldman Sachs, bid 165 million for 6% of the shares."
Turn the note over and face everyone, asking everyone participating in the bidding to read it clearly.
Then he put it back on the table and opened the next one.
At this time, Claire\'s expression was very strange, ranging from happiness to confusion, and even more of loss and decadence.
It seems that she is still suitable to be a lawyer. It is too difficult to guess the thoughts of businessmen.
Every one of the bidders who showed up to participate in the auction counted as one, but they didn\'t tell the truth from the beginning.
The expressions and movements are all acting, without any emotion.
Sensing the concentration of gaze, Lu Rong turned to look at Li Zhenyu aside, their eyes met, her smiling eyes showed a bit of apology, and she nodded slightly to greet him.
Li Zhenyu nodded in response, and couldn\'t help but sigh in his heart, "His grandma\'s stuff really doesn\'t have anything good!" \'
I\'m afraid Lu Rong had received the news before he came.
Knowing that I couldn\'t get a quota based on my own strength, I found a collaborator early.
As for why he wanted to win over him again, Li Zhenyu had two guesses, either because he wanted to paralyze him, or because he wanted to find a collaborator with better control.
Bidding with her was Geode Capital from Boston.
Dadi Capital was established in 2001, less than 7 years ago, but it manages a huge amount of funds of more than 500 billion US dollars.
Its source of funds and shareholders behind the scenes are quite mysterious, and Li Zhenyu suspects that it is related to Boston and the Kennedy family.
Judging from Lu Rong\'s performance, she should know something about this new capital.
State Street bid $153 million, and Big Speaker bid $140 million. The original six companies\' competition became 2:2:1:1.
Li Zhenyu and Daofu became the only two lonely people.
The other four companies joined forces in pairs and wanted to jointly win half of the shares.
There was only the last piece of paper left on the table. The assistant picked it up and opened it. His eyes widened instantly, and he looked back at his boss in confusion.
Xiao Zha frowned, stood up and moved forward: "Is there any problem?"
The assistant hesitated and simply handed him the note.
Looking down, Zach\'s eyes widened as well, his expression full of surprise.
"Universal investment, 350 million."
Goldman Sachs offered 165 million, followed by State Street\'s 153 million, which added up to only 318 million.
Li Zhenyu\'s bid was US$32 million higher than the highest price.
This price exceeded everyone\'s expectations. No one could have imagined that someone would give such a high price.
Is he crazy?
At the same time, everyone thought of another problem, \'He wants to monopolize it. \'
For US$350 million, he took 1.2% of Facebook\'s shares and kicked everyone else out.
"Mark, he can\'t do this."
Dadi Capital protested and agreed to two quotas.
Lu Rong was a little helpless, she still underestimated his courage.
350 million US dollars, how dare he...
But when he thought of the cash flow he could use, Lu Rong could only smile and shake his head.
This time, you won\'t lose unfairly!
"Goldman Sachs can help Facebook achieve better development."
Lu Rong threw out the last card. Investors don\'t just have to have money.
Even if it is a franchise brand, one of the brand\'s requirements for franchisees will be "having a certain social status and influence in the local area".
"Universal investment will help Facebook expand into the Asian market."
Whether it can be done depends on how confident it is.
South Korea is also one of the Asian member countries. Rounding things off, opening up the South Korean market does not mean opening up the Asian market.
Nothing wrong!
This time it was Xiao Zha\'s turn to be in trouble. It was very tempting for him to explore overseas markets.
He\'s just not sure, is the time now right?
"Sorry, I need some time."
Nodding politely to everyone, Zach quickly walked through the corridor and entered the office.
The transparent glass wall cannot block everyone\'s view. You can clearly see him dialing a certain number and discussing with people on the phone.
Lu Rong came to him again, "What do you think he will choose?"
"This time, I won."
"Are you so confident?"
"It\'s not confidence. Who can refuse the temptation of earning an extra 32 million. "
Li Zhenyu is not so narcissistic as to think that he can kill both men and women.
Well, the sport of fencing is better left to those with moles.
He simply believes that the charm of money will overwhelm the other end of the scale.
What\'s more, he also added a feather (developing the Asian market) to it.
"Will you blame me?" Lu Rong tried his best to hide it, but his voice was still trembling.
Li Zhenyu tilted his head and asked full of confusion: "Why?"
Everyone is their own master and performs their duties. What can be wrong with this.
Do you still expect Lu Rong to sell Goldman Sachs\' wealth to him with a click of a finger?
If she was really like this, Li Zhenyu really wouldn\'t dare to use her.
If he can betray Goldman Sachs today, he can betray himself tomorrow. He will not gamble on such a probability issue.
The explanation for \'super cohesiveness\' is that it is difficult to betray, not die loyal.
"Thank you, does your invitation still count?"
"Of course."
"I agreed..."
Lu Rong asked with a smile, "I\'ll ask the boss for your advice in the future."
"Yes." Li Zhenyu made a pun.
Zach left for 15 minutes, and everyone\'s inner hope became less and less.
It would be best if they could get shares. If not, who should they choose next?
Facebook just has a higher probability of success than others.
Without it, there will be other projects, and no one will stick to one project.
In fact, they didn\'t understand Li Zhenyu\'s offer.
Even if he is optimistic about Facebook, the premium will be controlled at 20%, and his offer far exceeds this ratio.
Reaching an astonishing 41%, is he colluding with Zack to take the opportunity to increase Facebook\'s valuation again and seek greater interests?
If not, he\'s acting like a complete layman.
"Purely in terms of investment, I am indeed a layman."
Regarding Lu Rong\'s doubts, Li Zhenyu said bluntly: "If you like a project, give your heart\'s price... That\'s it."
"If this price is far beyond it, What is its own value? "
"How much is too much, and how can it be too little? An excellent investment can bring a steady stream of returns, influence, power and status. "
"You shouldn\'t be too shrewd, let alone be greedy. "It\'s wrong to want and want."
Lu Rong looked at him with an unexplained emotion: "Sure enough, successful people can\'t be treated with common sense."
Li Zhenyu rolled his eyes inwardly. He only thinks of success. Shit smells good, right?
Hey, it\'s so cool to be rich.
At 23 minutes, Zach returned to the open conference hall again, "Just now, I had a conference call with the management, and the result of the discussion was... Congratulations, Li."
Everyone was either helpless or annoyed. Under the gaze, Li Zhenyu stood up gracefully, applauded and nodded to everyone: "Thank you, thank you..."
Big Speaker suddenly stood up and smoothed his thin, always flowing hair with his hands, like a proud Gaul chicken. He walked out with his head held high.
When passing by Li Zhenyu, a subtle warning came into his ears: "Don\'t pester my daughter, otherwise you will get yourself into big trouble."
