Upon hearing Li Ze's words, Brony and the others couldn't help but look at each other.
Then, Brony said," To be honest with you, Mr. Li, our estimated valuation of the company is about 45 million USD. If you have no problems with your funds, we can sell 10% of the shares to you this time."”
" 45 million dollars?"
Li Ze frowned slightly.
This valuation was slightly higher than he had expected.
"Isn't the valuation of 45 million a little too high?" Li Ze asked after some thought. I think 40 million dollars would be more appropriate.”
Brony and the others looked at each other again.
In fact, Li Ze's valuation had already reached the bottom line in their hearts.
Li Ze saw them exchanging glances and said again,""If you can agree to this valuation, within a month, all four million USD can be transferred to your account.”
"In addition, I have a small condition. If your company needs to invest again next time, I have the right to invest.”
"What do you think?"
Brony pondered for a moment and finally nodded slowly. President Li, I wish us a happy cooperation!”
Since Li Ze was so straightforward, Brony and the others felt that there was no need to haggle over every penny.
Moreover, the valuation of 40 million USD had already reached their expectations.
It was nearly three times more than the last round of financing, so they were not dissatisfied.
Seeing that Brony had agreed, Li Ze also smiled." Happy cooperation!”
After the discussion about the investment, the atmosphere immediately became relaxed.
At this moment, Li Ze suddenly thought of something and asked,""By the way, CEO Ma, I heard from you that the US International Data Corporation intends to withdraw its investment from your company?”
"Yes."
Brony nodded and sighed." Because of the cold winter of the Internet, and because we haven't found a suitable way to realize profits, the company has been cold in the capital market.”
"The US International Data Corporation is not very optimistic about the company's future. During this period of time, they have been looking for another company to take over, but no investor is willing to take over the shares in their hands.”
"This time, when we mentioned your investment in the company, their reaction was very cold and they didn't really care..."
Li Ze understood and suddenly said,"Chairman Ma, do you think it's possible for me to take over the shares from the US International Data Corporation?"?”
Upon hearing this, Brony was stunned and could not help but say,"If the price is right, the US International Data Corporation will definitely be willing to transfer its shares to President Li.”
"Even if we don't sell it all, we'll at least sell a portion of it!”
"But, CEO Li, do you have that much money in your hands?" Brony asked after a pause.”
"You must know that the US International Data Corporation holds 20% of the company's shares. Even according to the valuation we just discussed, it would still require 8 million US dollars to take over.”
Li Ze smiled and said,"It's not like I'm going to take over the other party's shares immediately." I should be able to withdraw a portion of the funds after the New Year.”
"If it's possible, I'll have to trouble CEO Ma to help pull some strings…"
As he spoke, Li Ze glanced at Brony.
Although he had successfully acquired 10% of Penguin Corporation's shares this time, if he could get more of Penguin Corporation's shares, Li Ze would naturally not let go of the opportunity.
After all, this was a company with a market value of trillions!
Brony did not think too much about it and replied readily,"Alright! If President Li is really interested in acquiring the company shares in the hands of the US International Data Corporation, I'll help President Li pull some strings.”
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, CEO Ma!”
Li Ze was overjoyed.
"President Li, you're too polite, hehe."
Brony smiled, then looked at Li Ze and said,""Then…President Li, let's find a lawyer and settle the details before signing the contract?”
"Alright!"
Li Ze also laughed.
Then, both parties immediately found a lawyer to sign the contract.
Li Ze also promised to transfer the first two million US dollars into Penguin Corporation's account within three days, and the remaining two million US dollars would be transferred within the next month.
Li Ze's current funds were barely two million USD.
The contract was successfully signed.
Brony and the others heaved a sigh of relief. Then, they looked at Li Ze and smiled.
To Li Ze, the goal of his trip to Pengcheng was successfully achieved.
Although he currently only held 10% of Penguin Corporation's shares, if he could really take over the 20% shares from the US International Data Corporation, Li Ze would hold up to 30% of Penguin Corporation's shares!
Even if these shares would be more or less diluted in the future.
But in the future, these shares would be worth at least hundreds of billions, or even trillions!
Thinking of this, Li Ze couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.
On the night of the signing of the agreement, Brony invited Li Ze to dinner to celebrate.
The next day, Li Ze left Peng City and returned to Shanghai…
