Chapter 440

After a few minutes of discussion, Bob Ellen, the representative of Goldman Sachs, said in a deep voice: "Mr. Ma Yun, at present, the market value of Taobao is far less than $10 million, and the most we can give is $5 million! Based on this condition, we are willing to invest $300 to Taobao

Ma Yun and Cai Chongxin took a look at each other and found that $5 million was 2.5 times the price that Netease valued Taobao.

"Mr. Ma Yun, what do you think?" Asked Bob Ellen.

"Mr. Bob Ellen, although Taobao was founded later than 8848, its development speed is not slow at all. I believe that as long as there are enough funds, Taobao will be able to catch up and surpass 8848!"

Ma Yun is small and thin, but his words are convincing, "Mr. Bob Ellen, you should consider the future development prospect of Taobao, so as to give a more accurate appraisal!"

Bob Ellen could not help pausing.

"Well, we can increase the valuation of Taobao," Bob Ellen thought, and said firmly, "Mr. Ma Yun, Taobao is worth at most $6 million! No matter how much, we can only choose to give up! "

Ma Yun heard this, hesitated.

"Mr. Bob Ellen, please allow me to think about a day!" Ma yundao.

"No problem, of course."

The first round of negotiations soon ended.

After Ma Yun left the office of Goldman Sachs, he turned on his mobile phone, only to find that there were five or six missed calls.

"Who is calling me?" Ma Yun murmured and called back according to this number.

After a while, the phone got through. A woman's voice came from the other side, and it was still in English.

"Hello, this is Weifeng capital company. What can I do for you?"

Ma Yun did not feel some surprise, prestige capital is a world-famous venture capital company, how can they find themselves. As we all know, prestige capital is the industry of Henry Williams, and Nicholas international e-commerce is also his industry. Because Taobao and Nicholas international e-commerce constitute a competitive relationship, so Ma never thought that prestige capital would find him.

After pondering for several seconds, Ma Yun replied: "Hello, I'm Ma Yun. Before, your company seems to have made five calls to me, but unfortunately my mobile phone turned off. Excuse me, what can I do for you

"Oh, are you Ma Yun, the founder of Taobao?"

"If it's fake, it's guaranteed."

"Hello, Mr. Ma Yun. Do you have time? Well, our CEO, Ms. kailinna, is very interested in Taobao. If you have time, please make sure to go to the Beijing Office of Weifeng capital! "

Ma Yun is slightly a Leng, can't help thinking. From the dialogue, he vaguely guessed the other party's intention.

"Mr. Ma Yun?" There was an inquiry in my ear.

Ma Yun thought about it. Anyway, he first looked at the other party's conditions, and then he replied, "OK, I'll go!"

"OK, the office address of Weifeng capital in Beijing is XXXXXX."

"Thank you

Ma Yun said thank you, hung up the phone, and then told Cai Chongxin about it.

As they walked, they began to discuss.

"Mr. Ma, it seems that Weifeng capital wants to buy Taobao!"

"That's right!" Ma Yun said with a smile, "however, the addition of prestige capital has virtually increased the value of Taobao. Maybe Goldman Sachs is willing to offer a higher price!"

Hearing the speech, Cai Chongxin couldn't help laughing. He knows that Ma Yun is not willing to sell Taobao to other companies. If there is no Goldman Sachs and other companies, Taobao capital chain fracture, Ma desperate, had to choose prestige capital. But now it can use prestige capital, set off Taobao is a hot goods! Naturally, it is necessary to meet the person in charge of prestige capital.

At noon, Ma Yun and Cai Chongxin had a casual lunch in a small restaurant. Then he left for the Beijing Office of Weifeng capital.

Weifeng capital rents an office building in the area where venture capital is concentrated in Zhongguancun. After Ma Yun and Cai Chongxin come to the office, they tell us their identities.

The receptionist said, "please wait a moment. I'll inform the general manager right away."

"Well..." Ma Yun nodded.

After the receptionist hung up, she said to Ma Yun and Cai Chongxin, "please follow me!"

They followed her and soon came to a reception room. After opening the door, I saw a middle-aged man in a suit and tie.

"Hello, I'm Rayleigh Colm, general manager of prestige Capital China."

"Hello

"Hello

"Please take a seat," he continued, pointing to the seat in front of him. "Well, Weifeng capital is more interested in Taobao and wants to invest in it. This is our investment plan! "

Smell speech, Ma Yun and Cai Chongxin looked at each other. At the same time, I took the papers from Riley Colm.

After Ma Yun opened it, he browsed it carefully. After that, he looked shocked.

According to the document, Weifeng capital, Jiulong investment and Nicholas international e-commerce will jointly make a strategic investment in Taobao. The investment amount is as high as US $10 million, but the shareholding is only 75%. Ma Yun and Cai Chongxin did not expect that the other party would offer such excellent conditions. The only bad thing is that if you accept such conditions, then the real owner of Taobao will be Henry Williams!

"Mr. Ma Yun, what do you think of our offer? I don't think there should be any other company that is superior to the conditions offered by prestige capital! "

Ma Yun is silent, carrying on each kind of advantages and disadvantages analysis in the mind.

"Mr. Riley Colm, the offer is very attractive. I'll think about it!" Ma Yun said in a deep voice.

"Of course." Riley Colm said with a smile, "please let me know when you think about it!"

"All right."

Ma Yun and Cai Chongxin left immediately.

The elevator door opened and a short bald middle-aged man stood inside. Cai Chongxin was stunned because he had recognized the other party as sun Zhengyi, the founder of Softbank of Japan. He worked as an investment bank in Germany and dealt with sun Zhengyi.

"Hello, Mr. Sun. I didn't expect to see you here."

"Hello, Mr. Cai Chongxin! What's this The light in sun Zhengyi's eyes flashed by. This floor belongs to prestige capital. When two people appear here, it must be something that has found prestige capital.

The whole office building is located in the most prosperous area of Zhongguancun, and most of the tenants are venture capital companies. Softbank also set up an office upstairs.

"Oh, this is my boss Ma Yun, the founder of Taobao!" Cai Chongxin then introduced sun Zhengyi to Ma Yun, "Mr. Ma, this is Mr. Sun Zhengyi, the founder of Japan's famous Softbank group."

"Hello, nice to meet you, Mr. Ma!" Sun Zhengyi then said with a smile.

"Me too. Nice to meet you!" Ma Yun shook hands with him.

Sun Zhengyi asked with a silent smile: "I think you just went to Weifeng capital company. You must have gone to raise money. How about it? Did it work? "

Ma said: "this time, prestige capital took the initiative to find us and offered us very favorable conditions. But it's a big thing. I have to think about it! "

"Ha ha, it's not wrong to think more about investment. Oh, by the way, there's a good cafe nearby. Let's have a coffee together! "

"Mr. Sun is at the helm of Softbank group. He is busy with business. It is our honor to take time out of his busy schedule to have coffee with us." Cai Chongxin said with a smile, and quietly winked at Ma Yun.
