Chapter 243

"I don't know how much you know about our company, Mr. Liang. If you know enough, you should know that Huizhong doesn't consider financing for the time being!" Fang zhe thought for a moment and responded to Liang Botao's words.

Leung Po Tao smiled and said, "I know, president Fang, you may not know. Now in the investment circles in Hong Kong and internationally, they are saying that you Huizhong are a freak. You have had a smooth journey and have not encountered too many setbacks! This is very rare in Internet companies at home and abroad!"

Fang zhe listened to him and was alert. What is plain sailing? Is it not a risk that the two crises Huizhong encountered in the United States before were all over the house? Listen to what he said, is it difficult to invest or want to make some obstacles for Huizhong?

Without waiting for Fang Zhe to think more, Liang Botao explained: "don't get me wrong, president Fang. I know that Huizhong has encountered two crises in the United States before, but compared with the large and small difficulties encountered by other Internet companies during their startup period, Huizhong is indeed plain sailing.

For example, the founder of Jingdong company, which we invested in, used to repair computers and sell CDs in ZhongGuanCun on the mainland. They worked offline for five or six years. It was not until the year of SARS that the offline situation was bad that they considered starting the online Internet.

Alibaba, its biggest competitor in the mainland, also has a similar experience. These companies have encountered various difficulties during their startup period, many of which may lead to the company closing at any time, including the outbreak of the financial crisis last year. If JD didn't get our money at that time, all their previous efforts might have been in vain! "

When Liang Botao said this, Fang zhe also understood what he meant. Indeed, compared with bat Jingdong companies in the mainland, the rise of Huizhong is indeed too simple and too smooth. The problems encountered by their companies, such as lack of financing and lack of profit model, do not exist in Huizhong.

Huizhong made a profit soon after its establishment. The profit model is very clear, that is, making money by playing games. Therefore, it doesn't need to ask grandpa and grandma for financing everywhere.

For a company, having money can solve more than 90% of the problems. Therefore, it is not surprising that Huizhong's development is smooth.

"They have their own way, Huizhong has its own way, and all roads lead to Rome. Some people are born ordinary and may not be able to buy a toilet in Mr. Liang's family all their life, but some people are born rich and have tens of billions of family assets waiting for him to inherit.

As I said before, luck is also a part of strength! "Fang zhe once again attributed Huizhong's smooth sailing to luck. If Fang zhe didn't have the rebirth of good luck, he wouldn't have these achievements of Huizhong.

Is one percent luck more important, or 99 percent sweat more important? Without that one percent of luck, success is always one step away!

Leung Po Tao no longer tangled with Fang zhe about whether Huizhong's smooth sailing in the past was luck or something else. Anyway, no matter what, Huizhong's success and unlimited potential are indisputable facts. Therefore, he directly threw out conditions to tempt Fang zhe:

"President Fang, it's inconvenient for you to disclose the reason why Huizhong doesn't consider investing for the time being? If conditions permit, those shares of JD can be considered even if they are given to Huizhong as a gift!"

Fang Zhe's face was calm and his eyes didn't blink. Although he was surprised that Liang Botao was willing to give away Jingdong's shares, considering that they wanted to get the qualification to invest in Huizhong, Jingdong's shares were not qualified. At most, they were only a stepping stone of $20 million.

"To tell you the truth, our company is not short of money now. You should know the current profitability of our company. Tens of millions of dollars doesn't mean much to us!" Fang zhe said one of the reasons why Huizhong doesn't consider financing at this stage.

Liang Botao chuckled and said, "sure enough, it is widely said in the industry that the reason why Huizhong doesn't raise funds is that it is rich and powerful. Now it seems that the rumor is true. However, since we specially invite President Fang to Hong Kong, we will naturally give president Fang a satisfactory valuation. Tens of millions of dollars may not mean much to your company, but hundreds of millions of dollars?"

Nowadays, with the global economic downturn, the investment industry is also keeping a tight watch on the money bag for the winter. The investment at home and abroad for more than a year, not to mention hundreds of millions of dollars, even tens of millions of dollars, is also very few. Not to mention, Huizhong is at most a round of financing, and a round of financing is hundreds of millions of dollars. Then wait until the later bcdef is even listed, How far does the valuation have to rise to recover the investment cost.

Therefore, after liang Botao said this, he leaned back on the sofa and drank refreshing tea. He believed that Fang zhe was almost unlikely to refuse hundreds of millions of dollars of financing. What Fang zhe said was not bad money, but not tens of millions of dollars.

According to what he learned, in order to save costs, the cloud computing data centers established overseas by Huizhong were all bought and changed from the old IDC data center. It can be seen that Huizhong's capital situation is not so bad as expected!

"Hundreds of millions of dollars?" when Fang zhe heard these words, he was really excited for a moment. With Huizhong's current profitability, tens of millions of dollars is really not a thing. It's just to save profits for a month or two. Therefore, those tens of millions of dollars of financing are meaningless to Huizhong.

But hundreds of millions of dollars is different. Even with Huizhong's profitability, it has to save a small half a year or even a year to have so many cash reserves. Even if Huizhong can get some loans from banks or other financial institutions through asset mortgage, it is at most this amount.

Financing is a matter of exchanging money for time. Hundreds of millions of dollars can indeed strive for the competitive advantage of Huizhong for less than half a year in advance, so that Fang Zhe and Huizhong can layout more fields as soon as possible.

"Mr. Liang, how much do you think the current valuation of our company is appropriate?" Fang zhe asked a question bluntly, which has implied that the other party can discuss it.

The corners of Liang Botao's mouth rose slightly. Sure enough, no one could withstand the temptation of hundreds of millions of dollars. Even Huizhong, who is now praised as unable to pour water in the investment circle, did not speak. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Li Zhonghua sitting next to him. After receiving his hint, Li Zhonghua said:

"President Fang should know that with the current economic crisis and the global market downturn, the stock prices of various companies have shrunk a lot compared with the peak period. The current approximate valuation of domestic Baidu, Tencent and Alibaba is about US $10 billion to US $30 billion. Therefore, based on our judgment of the market and our analysis of Huizhong's current performance, the valuation range of Huizhong is US $5 billion to US $10 billion Gold range, of course, the specific valuation can only be given after we have conducted due diligence on your company.
