My Age of Investment

  Chapter 125 Making a deal

  Unable to make Xia Jingxing "retire", Howard began to detour again.

  "As far as I know, Facebook has only completed its angel round of financing soon, right?"

  Howard looked at Xia Jingxing with a "coming man" appearance, and persuaded: "Start-ups should still focus more on the expansion of their own business and make strategic investments. That's what a mature business should do."

  Xia Jingxing chuckled, “This will not bother Mr. Howard. Facebook is Facebook, and I am me. I just withdrew from an investment some time ago, and I happened to have some spare money in his hand.

  I am very optimistic about Scape, investing several million, which is not a big sum to me. "

  Xia Jingxing spoke very directly, and directly put on a stunned look.

  If you don’t agree, I will throw money.

  Howard is a bit uncertain.

  It's not that Xia Jingxing is afraid, but Defengjie's funds are managed by customers.

  A foundation invests in multiple projects, each project can save a little, so naturally it will save a little.

  Scape is good, but no one can guarantee that it will succeed.

  Xia Jingxing They saw that the telecommunications company would counterattack, and Defengjie naturally saw this.

  The investment risk is still a bit high. If you can invest in Scape at a smaller cost, Howard is naturally willing to pay less.

  Can the young man in front of him put up a posture, is to compete with himself?

  "Hahaha~, after so many years in the industry, this is the first time that I have met an angel investor who has more financial resources than Defengjie."

  Howard laughed. Even if he was not willing to bid, he couldn't lose Defengjie's momentum, pretending to be very calm.

Jonas gave Nicholas a happy look at the six-person entrepreneurial group on the sidelines. He had planned it a long time ago. How can he get better investment conditions without letting the two investors compete? Woolen cloth?

  Nicholas was a bit opposed at first. He has sent business plans to dozens of venture capital institutions, and the only two in front of him who responded to his email and rushed to Estonia.

  They think that Scape is a great innovation, and it will be a big success in the future, but most venture capital institutions obviously don’t think so.

  He opposed Jonas’s approach, and he was also afraid that the two investment institutions would be angry.

  Looking at it now, it seems to be pretty good, and both of them have to pinch up.

  Xia Jingxing and Howard were fighting with each other and were about to tear their faces and start bidding, the latter suddenly said, "I'm a little hungry, let's talk about it after lunch!"

  Howard got up, and when he smoothed the folds of his clothes, he carried the entrepreneurial group of six and gave Xia Jingxing a vague look.

  After Howard left, Xia Jingxing chatted with the entrepreneurial group of six for a few minutes, and then left.

  When I got downstairs, I saw Howard leaning on the wall at a glance.

   "How about having lunch together?"

  Howard asked, tilting his head.

"OK!"

  Xia Jingxing smiled brightly.

  …………

  …………

  In the box of a restaurant not far away, Howard smiled and said, “Dylan, investment has always been a win-win situation. Do you agree?”

   "Of course I agree!"

  Xia Jingxing shrugged, "Otherwise, Mr. Howard, he wouldn't invite me to dinner, right?"

  Howard smiled, he likes to deal with smart people, save trouble!

  Jonas thought carefully, he had already seen through it.

  After so many years in the industry, can he still be played by the founder?

   Originally, he planned to follow Jonas’s will to see if he could scare the other investor away.

  After a brief chat, he realized that Xia Jingxing was not easy to deal with.

  It is estimated that the project will not be able to win without a price increase.

  But this is obviously against the original intention.

  In addition, it feels uncomfortable to be used by others.

   So he gave Xia Jingxing a hint, and the other party really followed.

  "DFJ can invest in Scape with you, which not only avoids price conflicts, but also unites more people and is conducive to the growth of Scape."

  Howard smiled and said: "As long as we stand together, we can win more shares at a smaller price."

   Needless to say, Xia Jingxing can guess Howard’s "treacherous tricks", and it is not uncommon for venture capital to join forces to put pressure on entrepreneurs.

  In the final analysis, it is all for profit.

  "How to allocate shares?"

  Howard smiled. He originally thought Xia Jingxing would resist one or two.

  Unexpectedly, the meat has not been cooked yet, so I started to talk about how to divide it up.

  Direct enough, he likes it.

   "Twenty-eight points! If you dilute 10% of the equity, you will get two points, and Defengjie will get eight points."

  Xia Jingxing shook his head, "I am not your vassal, so why do I only get 20% of the share? It must be five to five points."

  Andrew smiled and looked at the distribution of benefits, but didn't interrupt. He wanted to see how the people in Scape would react later.

  Howard thought for a while and said: "Then we give you 10% more, you 30%, we 70%, this is the final distribution plan."

  Finally, I don’t forget to add, “I believe that under the same conditions, the team at Scape will give priority to us. After all, we are an established organization that has been in business for nearly 30 years.”

  Xia Jingxing heard the threat in Howard’s words: Defengjie can put you in the arena to have a sip of soup. He has already raised his hand, paying attention to win-win situation.

  If you really want to tear your face, Defengjie will not bother you at all.

  Xia Jingxing said lightly: "Four-six assignments. We young people speak martial arts ethics, and we respect our seniors once."

   "It seems we can't agree!"

  Howard spread out his hands, looking confident.

  "The cooperation between our two parties is a whole, and the cake is so big. Instead of arguing about how to distribute this small cake, it is better to draw a big cake together."

  Howard understood, and asked: "Do you mean to let the Scape team sell more shares?"

   "Yes, how come the two investment institutions have to dilute 20% of their shares?"

  Howard laughed, "You have a good idea! Maybe you can try it!"

"cheers!"

  Howard raised his wine glass with a smile on his face.

   "Happy cooperation!"

  Xia Jingxing picked up the wine glass and drank it in one go.

  …………

  …………

  Plan A: Invest 300,000 US dollars, with a post-investment valuation of 3 million US dollars, and dilute 10% of the shares;

  Scheme B: Invest 1 million US dollars, with a post-investment valuation of 5 million US dollars, and dilute 20% of the shares.

  In the afternoon, Howard put two investment plans in front of the six-person entrepreneurial group of Scape.

  The six people looked at each other and turned their eyes to Xia Jingxing.

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said: "Mr. Howard and I have reached an agreement, and I agree with these two plans."

  Howard tilted Erlang's legs, leaning on the sofa, smiling and waiting for the six people to choose.

  Don’t think about it, these two investors have already reached a deal.

  Jonas is a little depressed, isn’t it just time for lunch? Is this hook up?

  Six people indicated that they needed to be considered, but they did not reply immediately.
