Chapter 512

"According to what you mean, we contacted keying and IDG respectively. They are very interested in the price we give."

"Get to the point."

President Xiao wants to say everything in detail in order to highlight his contribution to this event, while Gao Mu only wants to know the core news.

"According to the boss's instructions, IDG has basically agreed to transfer the 20% shares after the team's efforts and difficult negotiations."

It's wrong not to give money at this time.

"Expenses?"

Gao Mu called President Xiao to Shanghai to report the progress of the transaction.

"You told me that it was $2.2 million, double it."

What IDG does is initial venture capital. The probability of such investment failure is very high, and it will lose all its money in many cases.

But similarly, the profits after success are also huge. From November last year to now, that is, more than half a year, Gao Mu used their doubled profits as chips, and it is reasonable for the other party to agree to transfer.

Of course, the reasons are very complex, which is related to a series of analysis and process judgment.

There are many reasons for IDG to make the transfer. In addition to the temptation to double its income in less than a year, it is also because they are not very optimistic about penguins.

To be clear, according to IDG's survey and analysis, penguins can't turn losses into profits in a short time.

On the contrary, with the number of registered people exceeding 10 million and the number of online people exceeding 100000, the loss has further expanded, and there is a trend of more and more loss.

This is because Penguin needs to invest more money in equipment and maintenance with the outbreak of registration and simultaneous online.

The increase of staff alone is not a small expense for an enterprise with no revenue.

Moreover, the collapse of the Internet bubble outside Shanghai has had a great impact on domestic Internet companies.

IDG, which focuses on venture capital in the Internet and new technology, naturally can not stay out of it. Not to mention the overseas part, the risk level of many investment projects in Greater China has soared to red, that is to say, it may lose everything at any time.

In such a trend environment, strategic contraction is the consensus of most people.

Therefore, when President Xiao proposed to purchase 20% of their shares at a 100% premium on behalf of Huaxia development, the Evaluation Department of IDG gave a judgment result of three "+" of A.

Super excellent.

Even though some internal people put forward different opinions, there was no wave in the majority vote.

Therefore, this transaction was put on the table by IDG. At this time, it is impossible for other funds to compete for shares of companies related to the Internet. As long as the process is completed, it is a transaction.

Although Xiao is always fully authorized and fully represented by Gao mu, it is impossible for Xiao not to report the progress of things at any time.

So when things were 90% sure, Gao Mu asked him to go to Shanghai and report face to face.

In fact, Gao Mu has seen what President Xiao said in his email, but he wants to listen to it carefully in person.

"They didn't mean to add a little more for $2.2 million?"

"No, when we quoted the price, we told the other party that this was our greatest sincerity. The other party understood what we meant and didn't raise the price at will."

This is a skill of negotiation, which can be regarded as a hint in the heart. Of course, this is not absolute. As long as it is not stamped in black and white, what is said in the negotiation is farting and can be discussed at any time.

IDG did not put forward new conditions during the negotiation, especially had no idea about the price. It can only explain two points.

First, the quotation of Huaxia development greatly surprised them, or greatly exceeded their price in mind.

Second, naturally, IDG itself also wants to conclude the transaction as soon as possible and hopes to collect the funds as soon as possible.

New problems crop up unexpectedly. With the bubble burst, the so-called Internet technology has reached a very serious place. The IDG that is affected is not at all wanting to make a difference.

"Boss, did we lose this offer?"

So simply not picky, so that Xiao Zong, who is ready to bargain, is also very depressed. There is a desolation where heroes are useless.

I knew it would be OK to report 1.5 million. Even if it was slowly added to 2.2 million by the other party, it would be a different feeling.

Moreover, it may not be added to 2.2 million. This is US dollars. A loss of more than 100000 is equivalent to a loss of millions of RMB and Hong Kong dollars.

It makes my mouth water to think about so much money.

It's just his idea, but Gao Mu doesn't think so.

Is it lucky to lose an opportunity and seize another opportunity on the basis of doubling the cost?

However, at present, only Gao mu can see the return. Compared with the future income, this cost is a fart.

As long as the transfer can be reached, he will not hesitate to smash the pot and sell iron.

"It doesn't matter. I just want the result to be good. It's a small matter to make a quick decision and spend more money."

It's a big deal to have a long dream. It's more cost-effective to finalize it early than to spend much money.

Besides, isn't it hundreds of thousands of dollars? Now spend more, and you will earn billions of dollars in a few years.

On the calculation between gain and loss, who can compare with Gao mu?

"However, before signing the contract, the other party has another condition?"

The boss didn't care. If Mr. Xiao wrote again, he had a problem with his consciousness, so he skipped directly and said something Gao Mu didn't know.

Cluck!

Gao Mu's heart sank. Are there any conditions?

What I fear most is this sudden problem that I no longer control. Don't underestimate any additional condition. I love you. Many times, a business fails because of a seemingly insignificant condition.

"What conditions?"

"The head of IDG wants to see you before signing the contract."

Swallowing saliva and bitterly saying the other party's conditions, President Xiao's eyes twinkled. He didn't say it until now. He was also afraid that Gao Mu had an opinion on him.

"Well, what's the matter? You told me?"

When Gao Mu told President Xiao to do this, he gave him full power. In a polite word, he was a plenipotentiary and easy to act.

At this stage, he is not ready to push himself to the stage. At least during his college study, he still wants to stay behind the scenes.

Therefore, the person on the table of Huaxia development is president Xiao. Now the other party suddenly puts forward such a condition, which is really greatly beyond his expectation.

"Boss, don't get me wrong. We didn't expose your identity. I can swear that we didn't expose your identity. I don't know how they would know and understand this?"

Seeing Gao Mu's face heavy, President Xiao was nervous and wanted to raise his hand and swear.

Gao Mu has been trying to create an image of a capable person in front of him. He really doesn't want to destroy all his previous efforts because of this.

The most important thing is that he doesn't want to lose everything now, especially the identity of Huaxia development boss who has given him a great social status bonus.

"Hahaha, don't be so nervous. I know it's not what you said. My identity is not a big secret. They know it when they know it. It's harmless!"

IDG does venture capital and is best at investigation. Huaxia development has to deal with each other. It's strange that the other party doesn't investigate the company.

Otherwise, talk about risk control.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the other party knows that Gao Mu is the boss behind the scenes.

When it comes to caring, he is very curious now whether the other party has investigated all his information in China and whether he knows all his identities?

"Thank the boss for his trust."

Hoo, with Gao Mu's words, President Xiao's tension is calmed down.

Although he has been shaping himself as a capable person, this does not mean that he really has great ability. On the contrary, it is because of his mediocrity that he wants to shape himself as a capable person.

Because I don't care!

"In this way, IDG's 20% shares basically won't make mistakes. Have you made an appointment to sign the contract? Where is the place?"

"The time is still waiting for us to finalize. They can do it at any time. The location is Beijing, their company headquarters."

The reason why the time is uncertain is that we need to wait for him to finally report to Gao Mu and wait for Gao Mu to finalize it.

"Well..." Gao mu, who was talking to himself, closed his eyes again and began to move again by pressing his fingers on the document. "Well, reply to the other party. The time is set for next Monday, the place is changed to Hong Kong, and the contract is signed in our company. Then tell the other party that I will attend the signing ceremony in person."

Since the other party wants to meet him before signing the contract, he should attend in a big way, but the place should be changed to Hong Kong.

The purpose is to bet that IDG has not found its identity in the mainland. As for the time, of course, the sooner the better.

If he hadn't known that he couldn't eat hot tofu, he would have signed the contract tomorrow.

"OK, I see. I'll contact you in a minute."

Gao Mu made a final decision. President Xiao naturally had no opinion and nodded.

"By the way, sign the contract next Monday. Is there no problem in time?"

After all, a transaction involving such a large sum of money must be well prepared, and the contract text also needs the prior communication of both parties and the review of lawyers.

"No problem. We're already doing these things. As long as IDG has no problem going to Hong Kong, it's OK."

"It's not difficult. When you say that I have something important to do in Hong Kong, I can't go to Beijing for the time being. Just have a reasonable reason."

Since the other party has proposed to see himself, he will not refuse under normal circumstances.
