Yi Xiaohai did not follow the routine, and the Penguin team of five once again chose to negotiate privately.
This time,
It took them a short time to discuss and come up with a result.
"Mr. Yi, we have agreed, 4.5 million US dollars, 25% of the shares."
The five people stared at Yi Xiaohai at the same time, waiting for his answer.
Yi Xiaohai asked them to make whatever price they wanted.
However, they speculated that Yi Xiaohai was testing their bottom line to facilitate bargaining.
They offered 25% to give Yi Xiaohai the opportunity to increase the price.
But Yi Xiaohai didn¡¯t.
"I just said, whatever you say is the amount, just follow this ratio."
The five people all stared wide-eyed, some in disbelief.
"Mr. Yi, are you sure?"
Brother Dong confirmed again.
"$4.5 million for 25% of the shares, I can confirm it."
Yi Xiaohai smiled calmly.
Whether he is investing in Alibaba or Penguin, his mentality is more Buddhist.
Idg and Yingke used US$4.4 million to get 40% of the equity. He spent US$4.5 million and only got 25% of the equity. It can be said to be a big loss.
But in the long run, he is not at a loss.
He was not greedy to get a lot of shares, his main purpose was to form a good relationship with Brother Ma and Teacher Ma.
Internet companies will have many rounds of financing in the future, as well as pre-IPOs.
Yi Xiaohai¡¯s current generosity will be rewarded with more rewards.
However, his generosity is not completely unconditional.
"I gave Penguin a valuation of US$18 million, and the risk is also very high, so I hope you will agree to three conditions"
If Yi Xiaohai didn't mention anything, Xiao Ma and the others might still doubt Yi Xiaohai's purpose.
Now, they are relieved.
"Mr. Yi, please tell me."
"The first condition is that you are not allowed to sell Penguin Software."
The technical content of Penguin Software is not high. Yi Xiaohai was fully capable of developing it himself, but he did not do so.
Because for the formation of any giant company, the right time, right place, right people and the right people are indispensable.
The same is true for the rise of Penguin.
The wave of the Internet era is rolling in because of the right timing, China¡¯s demographic dividend, and geographical location. Brother Xiao Ma and his five-person entrepreneurial team are doing it for the sake of harmony.
The right time, right place, right people, and the three of them reached a subtle state, which led to the glory of Penguin Company.
¡°If someone else were to come, even someone with the talent of Teacher Ma, it might lead to the death of Penguin.
So the first condition Yi Xiaohai put forward was to ensure that Brother Xiao Ma and the others continued to operate Penguin Software.
"I gave Penguin a valuation of 18 million, not only because I am optimistic about the future of Penguin Software, but also because I am optimistic about your team. If Penguin leaves you, there will be no meaning."
"But I only own 25% of the shares and have no restrictions on your decision, so I must ensure that you will not sell Penguin"
When Yi Xiaohai proposed not to sell penguins, Brother Dong was looking at Sister Dan and Zhou Chen.
Brother Xiaoma and Zhang Danqing chose to continue operating, and he himself felt that the conditions given by Yi Xiaohai were very favorable and they could continue operating.
Only Sister Dan and Zhou Chen might have different opinions, so he wanted to know their attitudes.
Sister Dan and Zhou Chen looked at each other and nodded towards Brother Dong.
"Mr. Yi, we agree to this request."
Yi Xiaohai also noticed the eye contact between them and understood.
"The second condition is that if you want to sell some of your shares, I have the right of first refusal."
"Yi Xiaohai is talking about shares, but actually he is ensuring that Penguin is in the hands of himself or Brother Ma and others.
"The price cannot be lower than the market price."
This Brother Dong can make his own decisions.
"No problem,the last condition is that I need to lead the company's future financing."
"Can¡¡"
The three requirements put forward by Yi Xiaohai are just constraints on Brother Dong and the others, and there is no harm in them.
They have no reason to refuse.
The future Internet giant Penguin Company and the new financial giant Hantang Investment established a cooperative relationship in just two hours.
There were some nonsensical negotiations between them.??The future is said to be a good story.
After dealing with the Penguin Company matter, Yi Xiaohai could finally breathe a little relieved.
¡°The two Internet companies he is most interested in are now related to him.
After leaving Penguin Company, Yi Xiaohai passed the customs and went straight to Xiang Island.
Jones and Stephen brought their decision to Dong Li. Yi Xiaohai needed to interview Dong Li.
There is one more important thing, Tip is back from the United States
¡¡
??Ti Fei, formerly known as Fei Xiaosong,
He is in his thirties, his face is full of vicissitudes of life, and his eyes contain stories.
When he was 20 years old, he was framed and his family fled overseas.
After more than ten years of hard work, he became an important intelligence agent around Miranda.
Now help Yi Xiaohai do things.
¡°If his first thirty years of life were written into a novel, the plot would definitely be full of ups and downs and gripping.
Seeing Yi Xiaohai, he bowed deeply.
"Thanks¡¡"
Suffering unjust injustice for more than ten years, I traveled far away from home.
He thought that he would never be able to return to Xiang Island in an upright and fair manner in his life, but he never expected that he would come back in his lifetime.
Everything is because of Yi Xiaohai, Fei Xiaosong is very grateful.
After he bowed, he was about to do it again, but Yi Xiaohai pulled him back.
"Brother Tip, I can't bear such a big gift."
Fei Xiaosong shook his head: "You restored my innocence, which is equivalent to giving me a pure body on the Tao, that is, my reborn parents. This ritual must be performed."
Mr. Hua who was with him patted Yi Xiaohai:
"Let him worship. This is our rule."
Yi Xiaohai looked at Fei Xiaosong's firm eyes, and he could only helplessly let go of his hand and let him continue.
??Tip made a few gestures, then bowed three times, and finally knelt down on one knee.
"Boss, Mr. Hua saved my life back then. I will consider him as my big brother for the rest of my life. Now that you have restored my innocence, I will go through fire and water for you in the future without hesitation."
Although Fei Xiaosong is a bit arrogant, his cheerfulness is still to Yi Xiaohai's liking.
"Brother Tip, please get up. I said it before. From now on, you will help me collect intelligence. There is no need to say it so seriously."
"Xiao Hai, he is thinking of your loyalty and will not betray you in the future."
Yi Xiaohai was a little dumbfounded: "Master Hua, what age are we in now, why are you still doing the same thing as before?"
"Jianghu people have their own way of doing things. This is the highest level of our gratitude."
Mr. Hua explained from the side:
"But don't feel pressured. This is just a courtesy. It doesn't matter how he gets along with you. This allegiance can only mean that he will never betray you in the future."
This is the first time Yi Xiaohai has heard of these strange things.
However, Hua Ye said there would be no other impact, so he accepted it calmly.
