My Age of Investment

  Chapter 368 Softbank Admission (seeking monthly pass)

  Jack Ma thought about it for a moment, and he immediately understood the many corners inside.

  When he called Sun Zhengyi last night, he revealed that Envision Capital wanted to buy a stake in Ari.

  On the rhetoric, it has been carefully modified.

  He originally described how Xia Jingxing intervened in financing on the golf course, and the detailed discussion between him and Xia Jingxing at the dinner table.

  In his statement to Sun Zhengyi, Xia Jingxing has a strong intention to invest in Ari and is willing to offer a higher price than Yahoo.

  He and the management, in fact, the things that worry most are SoftBank and Yahoo!

  Not only Xia Jingxing saw this, but they were not stupid. They had thought of this level a long time ago.

  This is also an important reason why they are willing to talk to Xia Jingxing.

   Before, I had no choice. Even if I knew it was a candy wrapped in poison, I had to swallow it and accept Yahoo’s investment.

   Survival is the first thing after all. Only if the husband survives can we slowly consider and solve the hidden dangers of corporate control.

  Of course, these things involve malicious speculations on SoftBank and Yahoo, so we can’t tell Sun Zhengyi.

  So he made up a guise, Envision Capital is willing to pay a higher price than Yahoo.

  From this perspective, starting negotiations with Envision Capital is beneficial to Ari’s management, SoftBank, and other shareholders.

  This reason is impeccable, and Sun Zhengyi can't fault it.

  Originally, their deal with Yahoo was about to come to an end, but Xia Jingxing suddenly stepped in.

  He and the management are happy to comment on this, but Sun Zhengyi is not necessarily.

   Moreover, Sun Zhengyi was the person who brought them into the transaction with Yahoo, and played a vital role in this D round of financing.

  In addition, although Sun Zhengyi had the idea of ​​jumping off the car before, he planned to cash out and leave.

  But with Yahoo's entry, this man changed his mind.

  So, they can't hate Sun Zhengyi.

   In the final analysis, Xia Jingxing’s leg is not thick enough.

  Jack Ma did not dare to go against the old shareholder SoftBank and potential investor Yahoo because of Xia Jingxing’s few light promises.

  The situation is very complicated. He discussed with Cai Congxin very late last night and failed to reach a particularly feasible plan.

  The final result of the negotiation is to act by chance!

   After Sun Zhengyi learned about the "Envision Capital Disruption" last night, he did not express too much opinion. He just asked Ma Yun to suspend contact with Xia Jingxing. He will fly to the United States on the earliest flight of the night to meet Ma Yun in detail.

  Early this morning, Jack Ma and Cai Congxin did not go to meet the domestic entrepreneurs, but came to Ari’s office in the United States and held a secret meeting with the domestic team.

  Until noon, knowing that Sun Zhengyi's flight was about to land in San Francisco, Ma Yun and Cai Congxin rushed to the airport to greet them.

  As soon as he arrived at the airport, Yang Zhiyuan called and came to join in the fun.

   Originally, Ma Yun didn't think much about it, because Sun Zhengyi had a good understanding of Yang Zhiyuan, and it was nothing to pick up a plane.

  But the other party is now so sure that the call is from Xia Jingxing, which has to make Ma Yun think more.

  He guessed that the two parties must have passed the anger in advance, and even the quotation of Vision Capital might have been stabbed by SoftBank to Yahoo.

  Since Yang Zhiyuan picked up all the words to this point, Ma Yun stopped pretending, and immediately connected to Xia Jingxing's phone.

  "Hey, Darren~"

  Ma Yun smiled and said, and glanced at Yang Zhiyuan, who had no joy or sorrow on his face.

  I thought, Envision Capital can’t persuade him, otherwise Ari’s D-round financing would be dangerous.

   "I heard that you are out, where are you? Shall we have dinner together tonight?"

   "Jerry and I are at the airport, and we will pick up Mr. Sun Zhengyi. We don't need to eat for the time being, business matters."

  Jack Ma deliberately revealed some information to Xia Jingxing, wanting the latter to figure it out.

  Xia Jingxing naturally heard the overtones, Sun Zhengyi came to the United States? Arrived soon?

  This shows that the other party attaches great importance to Ahri, and almost got on the plane overnight after receiving the information.

  This efficiency can be regarded as vigorous and resolute.

  And Yang Zhiyuan also came to pick up the plane.

  What do you want to do? Sun Zhengyi still wants to persuade Ari and Yahoo to make a deal?

  Xia Jingxing digested the information, and said: "Let’s talk, Jack, Envision Capital is very supportive of you.

  If we can’t agree, you can arrange for me to meet with Mr. Sun Zhengyi. "

  Xia Jingxing was worried that Jack Ma would not be firm, so Sun Zhengyi could easily persuade him, and then he would have nothing to do with him.

  Jack Ma smiled, he naturally understood Xia Jingxing's suggestion, which showed that the other party wanted to get in.

   Above the valuation quotation, there is room for manipulation.

  Before, he told Sun Zhengyi that Envision Capital was willing to pay a high price, which was purely a fudge, and Xia Jingxing did not give any substantive promises.

   "Okay, I understand, the meeting will produce a satisfactory result for all parties."

  Ma Yun still wants to use Envision Capital as the weight in his hand, and he does not dare to hate Xia Jingxing, so he reassures Xia Jingxing a little.

  After playing a few more Zenji, Jack Ma hung up the phone.

   "Jack, I don’t understand, why do you insist on involving Darren?"

  There were too many people yesterday. Yang Zhiyuan was hard to ask. Now he had the opportunity. He forgot Sun Zhengyi's request. Before the other party came, he couldn't help but start to ask Jack Ma by himself.

  Ma Yun spread his hands, "No way, Jerry, Ari is a startup company, and every penny is important to us.

  Dylan is willing to pay a higher price, we can’t refuse. "

  Yang Zhiyuan frowned, "How much can they pay? As I said earlier, after paying taxes, the funds that Dai Lun cashed out may only be more than 800 million US dollars.

  He wants to invest in Ahri, and may also need to pledge equity in Facebook.

  This will cause him great financial pressure.

  Once Ari's development is not as good as he wants, he may go to the market to sell Ari's equity.

  The instability of shareholders will also affect Ahri’s operations.

  The most important thing is that he can invest 1 billion U.S. dollars, but can he also invest 2 billion or 3 billion U.S. dollars?

  It's impossible for him, only Yahoo has this ability. "

  Jack Ma smiled lightly and didn't answer.

  What Yang Zhiyuan said are all facts. They have also considered that Yahoo is definitely stronger than Vision Capital than financial resources.

  However, the previous scene made him more vigilant.

  Sun Zhengyi would rather disregard the interests of Ari’s shareholders as a whole, but also collude with Yang Zhiyuan in private.

  It is very likely that the two will form an alliance and deal with themselves together.

  He understands Sun Zhengyi's approach, because the other party still has shares in Yahoo.

   Yahoo enters the game to strengthen Ahri’s strength. Sun Zhengyi holds shares in both companies, which is equivalent to integrating resources in his hands and earning more at the benefit level.

   But this approach undoubtedly treats Ahri as a random pawn.

  If there was no Xia Jingxing, Ma Yun would pretend to be crazy and be stupid, pinching his nose to admit it.

   But now that there are cards in hand to play, it is natural to fight for a situation that is most beneficial to the management.

  Someone chatted with Yang Zhiyuan. After more than an hour, a little old man with a Mediterranean hairstyle and a height of only 1.5 meters appeared at the entrance of the passenger passage.

  Sun Zhengyi saw Ma, Yang, and Cai at a glance, and waved at them.

  The three of them saw that the Lord had arrived, and hurried forward to greet them.

   "Jack, Jerry, Joseph, long time no see!"

  Sun Zhengyi and the three of them hugged each other, they were extremely happy, and their faces all smiled.

  After a few greetings, the three led Sun Zhengyi and began to walk outside, and Sun Zhengyi's assistants followed.

   "Jack, what's the matter? I didn't have a good talk with Yahoo. At the last minute, why did you regret it?"

  Sun Zhengyi said with a straight face: "Isn't China paying attention to the culture of gentlemen? This is not like the behavior of gentlemen."

  Yang Zhiyuan smiled slightly, and the person to rule Jack Ma finally came.

  Ma Yun shook his head again and again, "I haven't signed the contract yet, so it's not a remorse."

   Then he looked righteous and awe-inspiring, "On the contrary, as the CEO, I am thinking about the interests of all shareholders."

  Jack Ma’s reason is very strong. Sun Zhengyi couldn’t argue with him, waved his hand and said, “Let’s go, wait for the place, and talk about it!”
