The most typical example is Yahoo.
Although Yahoo was finally hanged by a group of rising stars in the previous life, even so, Yahoo is still very awesome.
As for how awesome?
That's because they invested in Alibaba.
In addition, they have 35% of Yahoo shares in Japan.
Not to mention anything else, the market value of these two companies alone will reach more than $40 billion.
Although Yahoo finally fell to the price of $4.8 billion, this is only the North American Yahoo for sale.
As for a series of companies invested by Yahoo, they have established a new Yahoo company and still become a force.
"Mr. Chen, most of the capital has arrived."
In the office, Wang Chang introduced the situation outside to Chen Yu.
In fact, Chen Yu has already arrived at the company, but he just doesn't come out for the time being.
It looks good now.
Friends really attracted countless capital and giants around the world.
Especially seeing Berkshire, Microsoft, intel... Their arrival, Chen Yu knew that the valuation of the friend network could not be low. Maybe a bad one can surprise Chen Yu.
"OK, let's go."
Instead of letting them wait, Chen Yu came to the meeting room of friends.
The meeting room was not so big.
However, for this financing, the original Hall of the whole conference room will also be temporarily requisitioned.
But even so, with so much capital gathered together, it still seems a little crowded.
However, what Chen Yu wants is such an effect.
"Welcome to friends. I'm Chen Yu."
Facing the crowd, Chen Yu smiled and introduced to everyone.
Many people know Chen Yu.
Even if I don't know, I checked the information before investing in friends.
Although friend network is registered and established in North America, it is a subsidiary of Huanyu technology in terms of capital relationship.
Moreover, Huanyu technology is doing very well on the Internet in China.
Unexpectedly, miracles are also performed in North America.
The point is, this guy is still very young.
But they are not surprised.
The Internet is a place full of legends, and many Internet bigwigs are very young when they are famous.
Jerry Yang of Yahoo! And Zach of Facebook.
ok
Facebook estimates that it will be hanged by friends in the future.
"I believe you already know the general situation of our friend network, so I won't say more. At present, our friend network will take 40% of the shares for financing. Of course, I know that so many shares can't be won by one enterprise. Therefore, before this financing, I'm going to find a leading investor. The leading investor can monopolize 10% of the shares, and the remaining 30% of the shares depends on the specific situation But for the remaining shares, the capital of any single entity can only enjoy the financing power of 5 points at most. "
Friend network had a financing before.
That financing was an angel round.
In fact, the financing friend network is not short of money for the time being. As for financing, it is to get the support of Bain Capital.
Later, the market value of friends continued to explode, and Chen Yu began to buy back the shares of Bain Capital.
At that time, Chen Yu made a lot of money, and Bain Capital also made a lot of money.
But now, the representatives of Bain Capital have hidden in the corner and cried secretly.
Their forefoot just sold back the shares of the friend network to Huanyu technology, and they want to get them back.
If it's for ordinary enterprises, it's okay.
At most.
But if they really want to get back the shares held by Bain Capital at this time, they will have to spend at least billions more.
And it's still dollars.
"Mr. Chen, our magic root is very interested in friends. We are willing to be this leader."
With the valuation of tens of billions of dollars and so many powerful leaders, everyone knows that an enterprise can't win.
But since we can't win it, everyone wants to have the most shares.
No doubt.
If they can become the leading investors of the friend network, they can win up to 10% of the shares.
Therefore, when Chen Yu finished, Daisy was the first to say.
"Wait, we Goldman Sachs are also willing to be the lead investor."
Dais said that Miguel, President of the investment department of Goldman Sachs, was not willing to fall behind.
"Miguel, do you want to argue with us?"
"It's not that I want to fight with you, but that everyone wants to fight with you."
Miguel spread his hand.
He knows why Chen Yu called everyone here today.
Just let everyone fight.
Although all the capital saw Chen Yu's meaning, which one was willing to retreat?
If you flinch, you'll lose the chance to invest in your friend's network.
Moreover, the capital forces of all parties have different ideas, and it is difficult for them to gather together to put pressure on Chen Yu.
Well, there's no pressure at all.
With the current IP traffic of the friend network, in fact, Chen Yu is putting pressure on them.
If you hesitate again, will it not be this price in a few days?
Don't blame Chen Yu for not reminding you.
Chen Yu reminded magic root at that time.
But magic root doesn't take him seriously. Now it's all right.
In fact, there is nothing, that is, billions of dollars more.
"We Sequoia are also willing to be the lead investor."
Sequoia Capital representative also said.
"We Berkshire are willing to be the lead investor of friends."
Well, Buffett's Square is out.
"We are also very interested in Microsoft."
"Hehe, we Intel also want to cooperate with our friends."
A number of capital giants have expressed their wishes.
Of course, there are other capital. In fact, they also want to be the lead investor, but they chose not to speak at this time.
They know that even if they say, they have no chance in the face of some of the world's top capital.
For example.
So many capital are interested in friends. Who will be the lead investor?
Let them fight?
Everyone is gentle. How can we fight.
But there must be a lead investor.
Then, whoever gives a high valuation will be the lead investor.
"Mr. Chen, we think the valuation of friend network is $39 billion."
Dais, President of magic root investment department, knows that these are useless, but it's better to show strength.
"We think the valuation of friend network can reach $40 billion."
Goldman Sachs did not give magic root a chance. They added another $1 billion to the $39 billion base.
It directly broke the $40 billion we talked about before.
"We Intel bid $41 billion."
"We offered Berkshire $42 billion."
"We're offering Microsoft $43 billion."
Many capitals have quoted their own prices.
Of course, their valuation is not really going to come up with tens of billions.
If they really want to spend tens of billions of cash flow, even some of their top capital will have difficulties.
But if they only have 10% of the shares, they only need billions of dollars.
Tens of billions of dollars may have some difficulties.
But billions of dollars is really not a big problem for them.
therefore.
Next, these top capital began a price increase one after another.
"44 billion dollars."
"45 billion dollars."
"46 billion dollars."
Shouted wildly all the way.
The original valuation of $40 billion was $50 billion.
And off the court, there are still two have been competing.
One is the devil's root who didn't let go before he was killed.
The other is software overlord Microsoft.
