plain.

After hanging up Chen Lang's phone, Sun Tao on the opposite side couldn't wait to say, "Did you agree?"

Li Dong laughed, waved his hand to clear the remaining smoke, and shook his head and said, "How could it be so fast? Besides, Luo Guowei is just the president of the region, not the chairman of Carrefour.

Some of this matters are delayed, and Carrefour will not compromise because of our few threats."

"Why……"

Sun Tao naturally knew that Carrefour would not compromise easily, but he had originally had a glimmer of expectations.

If Carrefour directly admits defeat, they will save a lot of trouble and save a lot of time and money.

Now that Li Dong said this, Sun Tao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Despite his disappointment, Sun Tao soon stopped thinking about these things and changed the topic: "Mr. Li, how do you have any opinions on Weibo next?"

"Let's talk with Sequoia and Idg." Li Dong said softly.

Sun Tao hesitated for a moment and said, "What about the country's development bank?"

The price offered by China Development Bank is not low, or it is not much smaller than those two companies.

But Li Dong only appointed two companies, which obviously excluded the China Development Bank.

Sun Tao understood Li Dong's choice, but he had to ask for peace of mind.

It’s not because of his national heart, but the key is that the China Development Bank may represent the power of state-owned assets. Li Dong directly rejected him and was worried about offending others.

Li Dong smiled and said, "From the perspective of relationship, it seems more appropriate to choose the China Development Bank. But capital does not talk about feelings. Since you want to raise funds and develop, you have to put aside your personal emotional factors.

Although China Development Bank has given a lot of money, they do not have much experience in the IPO and capital operations of Internet companies.

Weibo, if it goes public in the future, going to Nasdaq is the first choice.

If you want to make money from the United States, we can’t rely on ourselves, because the United States doesn’t understand us.

Sequoia and IG have experience in this, $1 million worth of stuff, they can run for us $100 million.

These two companies have this strength, experience and level.

The China Development Bank is not good here. Of course, if we choose to go public in Hong Kong, the China Development Bank can still make do with it."

Sun Tao was irrefutable when Li Dong said this, and it was indeed the case.

In the current Internet industry, foreign investment is the mainstream, and local venture capital is just a small fuss.

It’s not that our investment institutions have no money, but even if they have money, ordinary Internet companies are unwilling to choose them.

For example, if Sequoia and China Development Bank raise funds for an Internet company at the same time, both parties will pay 10 million.

If Sequoia can get 0% of its shares, China Development Bank may only get 15% or even lower.

Money is the same money, and Sequoia has not provided any other technical support, but it is more popular and favored than China Development Bank.

It is not that enterprises exclude state-owned assets, but that in terms of capital operation, the power of state-owned assets is indeed not strong.

Just as Li Dong said, a company with a $1 million operation and publicity relying on the company's own operations, that's $1 million.

When it comes to the hands of the China Development Bank, it may run you millions or millions of dollars.

But when it comes to Sequoia, $10 million is not uncommon, and it is acceptable no matter how much it is.

In this circle, what you compare is to be able to blow.

Whoever can brag better will have the advantage.

Of course, bragging is not just a fool, it must be believed. Sequoia has the strength to believe it. China Development Bank may be able to do it in China, but no one will pay attention to it when it goes abroad.

Sun Tao took a breath and said, "Okay, then we will conquer these two companies. Victoria Harbor and Baidu..."

"Baidu's conditions can be agreed to a 5% stake of $0 million. Although it seems that we have suffered a huge loss, Baidu's technology and talents are all urgently needed.

Just think we spent more money and bought their skills and talents.

The Victoria Harbor…”

Speaking of Victoria Harbor, Li Dong frowned slightly, thought for a while and said, "It's more than 5%, and the meaning of 10 million US dollars is just right. Give them 1% of the shares."

Victoria Harbor is preparing to invest US$50 million and hold a 5% stake in Weibo.

In terms of conversion, the total value of Weibo is still US$1 billion.

Li Dong couldn't accept this price. After all, Li Dong borrowed their names to promote it a few days ago, creating a sense of crisis for other investment institutions.

But the name of Weigang is not worth that much money. In Li Dong's opinion, 10 million US dollars has already entered the market.

No matter how many, it will be a little ignorant.

Sun Tao smiled bitterly and said, "1% they may not necessarily want to."

"Then just kick out, anyway, the result I want has been achieved."

Li Dong said indifferently, giving them a chance to enter is a favor, so what if you don’t care about favors or not?

As for promoting their names, they should be prepared before they vote for their letter of intent.

The mall is so realistic. Although Li Dong and that person have met once, they may still be considered as the other party’s student. After all, the Yangtze Business School is under the jurisdiction of that person.

But Li Dong just said that capital does not talk about feelings, let alone no feelings.

There are more people studying at the Changjiang Business School, Ma Yun, Jiang Nanchun, Feng Lun... These large groups of people have worked as students at the Changjiang Business School.

However, everyone also paid high tuition fees. The thing that you and I wished was not the Huangpu School back then. When we met, we had to call the principal with respect.

Without further ado, Li Dong continued: "This time we will sell 0% of Weibo's shares. Excluding Baidu, not counting Victoria Harbor, the remaining 15% will be raised at least US$100 million.

The difficulty is not that big in my opinion, after all, the valuation is only about $100 million.

Weibo is worth this price, even if it is not worth it now, it will definitely exceed it by half a year at most.

To talk about this standard, I think they shouldn't have to worry about it for too long, but the money is the most important thing, so I have to borrow it for a while.

The financing of US$10 million, plus Baidu's US$0 million, is exchanged for RMB 1.6 billion.

Weibo won’t spend too much money in a short period of time. 600 million is more than enough in a year, and 600 million is enough to open up the international market.

I will borrow the remaining 1 billion first and return it in one year.”

Sun Tao was not surprised. In fact, he had already laid the foundation for this, and even major investment banks knew it.

Just as Li Dong said, 1.6 billion is investing in Weibo now, and Weibo can’t be spent at all. Can the money be kept for interest rates?

If you borrow 1 billion first, it is still very likely that Sequoia or IDG will agree.

Of course, things are not so easy to say. Generally, the financing money will not be received in one lump sum, and they are transferred in installments.

Now that Li Dong requests this, he obviously requires that the account be received in one go.

Next, Sun Tao estimated that the focus of the negotiations should be Li Dong borrowing this money, whether it is considered in investment.

For example, if you spend 600 million on Weibo now, the 600 million may become 1 billion in a year. At that time, will the 1 billion borrowed by Li Dong be returned at 1 billion or 1.66 billion in a floating ratio?

There is a big difference between the two, and the result depends on your ability.

Sun Tao hardly put in much effort in this financing, and the final result was also related to the reflection of his ability.

Now the people who are eyeing financing are not only Li Dong, but also all the senior executives in the distance, even those outside the company.

If he successfully negotiated financing, Li Dong would not have to pay more money. The next mall and pp would probably be negotiated in his hands.

But once the result is not as good as expected this time, it is hard to say whether he will be responsible next time.

...

Just after discussing financing with Sun Tao, Li Dong's cell phone rang again.

He picked up the phone and took a look. Li Dong answered the channel: "What's the matter?"

"Li Dong, haven't all the money in the stock market been withdrawn yet?" Xu Shengzhe's voice was a little anxious and a little annoyed.

Li Dong knew what he was thinking when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I've withdrawn, I'll wait for the settlement now. Don't worry, your 4 billion yuan will not be missing..."

"Depend on!"

Xu Shengzhe said with some grief: "You should do it quickly, you can't take a few days off! Today, the market fell to 990, and it really fell below 000. I lost more than 100 million yuan."

Li Dong sneered: "It's not that I forced you to withdraw. I've said it a long time ago, it's not a big problem below 000.

You rushed to me and asked me to withdraw, of course I have to satisfy you.

OK, is there anything else? I'm not dead."

"Don't hang up first!"

Xu Shengzhe hurriedly shouted, and then said hurriedly: "Some areas of Su'an New City have been tested for external trials. Governor Jia invites us to go to Su'an for inspection. Will you go?"

When Li Dong heard this, he laughed and said, "What does it mean to invite us? I haven't received the invitation. You have to go there yourself. I'm busy lately and I don't have time to go there."

But then again, will the area be opened so soon?”

The new city was only invested in and built in 2006. It has only been about two years now. Two years of general real estate projects are not fast, but not slow.

But a whole new city can open some areas for trial operation in two years, and this speed is still very fast.
