Upon hearing Li Ze's words, Brony and the others were stunned at first, then they were pleasantly surprised!
The few of them looked at each other.
Zhang Zhidong couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and said excitedly,"President Li, are you really willing to invest in our Penguin Corporation?”
Brony also suppressed the surprise in his heart and said,"If President Li is really willing to invest in our Penguin Corporation, of course, we will welcome you!”
Li Ze smiled and said,"Since I've said it, there's naturally no reason for me to joke with you." I wonder how many shares you can offer?”
"Also, what is your current valuation of your company?”
Li Ze heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed that his investment in Penguin Corporation had succeeded.
The rest depended on how much they invested, how many shares they could get, and the valuation of Penguin Corporation.
Upon hearing this, Brony and the others looked at each other again and communicated with their eyes.
What Li Ze had mentioned indeed required careful consideration.
In addition, they also had to contact the two shareholders who invested in Penguin in the previous round, the US International Data Corporation and Xiangjiang Pacific Century Digital.
After all, these two investors each held 20% of Penguin Corporation's shares.
"President Li, how about this? Let's contact the other two shareholders, the US International Data Corporation and Xiangjiang Yingke Digital. In principle, we welcome President Li to invest in our Penguin Corporation.”
"However, the specific company valuation and the shares that can be sold still have to be discussed.”
After a pause, Brony immediately said,"But don't worry, President Li. We will give you a specific answer in two days.”
"Moreover, no matter what the US International Data Corporation and Xiangjiang Yingke Digital think, CEO Li, there will definitely be no problem for you to invest in our Penguin Corporation!”
Although the US International Data Corporation and Xiangjiang Yingke Digital each held 20% of Penguin Corporation's shares, Ma and the other founders still held 60% of the absolute controlling shares.
As long as they agreed, regardless of whether the US International Data Corporation and Xiangjiang Yingke Digital were willing or not, Li Ze's investment in Penguin was a foregone conclusion.
However, Brony wanted to inform the other party of this matter out of respect for the two investors.
After all, once Li Ze's investment was brought in.
If the US International Data Corporation and Xiangjiang Yingke Digital did not choose to invest, their shares would be diluted accordingly.
"Alright, Boss Ma, I'll be waiting for your good news. I'll be in Peng City for the next few days. CEO Ma, you can contact me at any time.”
Li Ze smiled.
"Alright!"
After the discussion, Brony and the others looked much more relaxed than before.
No matter what, as long as they attracted Li Ze's investment, they would not have to worry about the company not being able to afford the rental of servers and the cost of the internet for the time being.
The pressure on his body was instantly reduced.
After that, they chatted for a while more. During this time, they talked about a lot of content about the Internet and various conjectures about the future development.
Although Li Ze was considered a half-layman in this area, he was still a little confused.
Fortunately, he had heard a lot of information about the future of the Internet industry from his son.
Therefore, the few opinions that he occasionally said made Brony and the others 'eyes light up.
She increasingly felt that Li Ze had a deep and unique understanding of the internet industry.
He also felt that attracting Li Ze's investment was indeed a good choice for Penguin Corporation.
At least he didn't have to worry about Li Ze being a layman who would randomly criticize the company after he introduced his investment…
Seeing that it was almost five o'clock, Brony suggested that they find a place to have a meal together as a welcome party for Li Ze.
Li Ze readily agreed.
After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere gradually warmed up. Li Ze and Brony and the other founders of Penguin became more familiar with each other.
The dinner ended.
Brony and the others left, and Li Ze returned to the hotel.
After waking up, Li Ze stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel room and looked at the night view outside the window. He held a cigarette in his hand and smoked, but there was a faint smile on his face.
'I've basically achieved my goal of coming to Peng City this time.'
" Although I don't know exactly how much shares Brony and the others are willing to give me, at least I got on the bus smoothly. Even if he didn't get many shares this time, with Penguin Corporation's development, he would definitely need to bring in more funds.'
'When the time comes, I'll just continue to chase after them…'
After smoking a cigarette, Li Ze went to the bathroom to wash up and sleep comfortably.
Two days later.
Li Ze finally received a call from Brony, asking him to go to Penguin Corporation again to discuss the specific investment.
Upon seeing Li Ze's arrival, Brony and the others warmly welcomed him.
After everyone was seated, Brony looked at Li Ze and said,""President Li, regarding your investment in Penguin Corporation, we have reached a consensus with the US International Data Corporation and Xiangjiang Yingke Digital in the past two days.”
"I just don't know how much you can invest, and what's your valuation of Penguin Corporation?”
Li Ze had considered this before.
He had also specially learned about the valuation of Penguin Corporation when it introduced the US International Data Group and Xiangjiang Yingke Digital in the last round.
At that time, the two companies invested in Penguin with a valuation of 5.5 million US dollars. They each invested 1.1 million US dollars and each received 20% of Penguin's shares.
It had been so long, and the key was that the number of registered users of QQ had soared by dozens of times. The valuation must be much higher than before.
Seeing that Li Ze was deep in thought, Brony and the others were a little nervous.
After all, if Li Ze's valuation of Penguin was too different from their expectations, it would be difficult to reach an agreement.
If the difference was not big, both sides could slowly negotiate and reach a valuation that was acceptable to both sides.
Fortunately, Li Ze did not make them wait for long. He quickly said,"I personally think that your company's valuation should be between 30 million to 40 million USD.”
"As for how much money I can invest…it depends on how many shares you are willing to sell.”
Li Ze couldn't help but smile.
Even though the Legendary Game Company only had 15 million yuan in their accounts, they still had a lot of money.
However, the funds to invest in Penguin didn't have to be all in place at once. There could be some buffer time.
With the Legend's current earning speed, as long as he slowed down for a month, the funds he could use could reach the level of 30 to 40 million Chinese dollars.
Li Ze could even transfer some funds from the Internet cafe company.
All in all, Li Ze had no problem taking out around five million USD.
