Chapter 758： Series C financing (4)

? Even if they don't tell the complaints in everyone's heart, Yang Cheng and Eddie can guess it, but hocares? Anyway, you don't have any evidence. I can just say what I want. Welcome to slap your face. He doesn't care if he has a thick skin.

This topic has been swept away in such an embarrassing situation. At least shareholders still approve of Eddie’s strategy. Whenever you go to a place, you must adapt to the rules of a place. This is one of the fine behaviors of big capitalists. It’s not because of the pressure from the US ZF. Perhaps Google and Facebook have already lowered their bodies and went to Z country to hug their thighs. Isn’t it just adding a monitoring threshold? What a big deal, it’s not a threshold in all countries in the world, as long as it meets country Z National conditions, you can change as long as you can make money.

As for whether it will go against the purpose of the enterprise, hehe, the purpose of the existence of a company is to make money, otherwise there is a meaning to it?

Next, Eddie gave an explanation for the other businesses of New Era Media except Toutiao. After that, Yang Cheng took over the right to speak. "Everyone, everyone already understands the situation. Now it’s all about the C round of financing or New Era Media. , You can start asking questions, and I and the group executives present will answer them one by one."

The shareholders looked at each other for a few moments and did not mean to speak first, but those investors couldn't help it. One of the investment directors from Berkshire Hathaway stood up and nodded slightly to the audience. Yang Cheng asked, "Dear Mr. Yang, Berkshire Hathaway is very optimistic about New Era Media. If possible, we are willing to eat the entire share of US$5.5 billion."

I paused, leaving time for others to sneer at. After all, his words are a bit hateful. If you eat all of the 5.5 billion, it is equivalent to the Berkshire family occupying about 20% of the shares, let alone Will Yang Cheng allow major shareholders to approach their holdings, and none of these shareholders will agree to it. What do we eat if you eat the cake? Scum?

Because the director had already anticipated it, he didn’t care about it and continued, “I know that this good wish is hard to come true, so I have another proposal for cooperation. We are willing to invest 3 billion US dollars to occupy 10 New Times Media. % Shares and corresponding equity, and an executive director's seat."

The other shareholders were shocked and looked at the investment director dumbfounded, with ridiculous eyes as if they were asking: Did you tm go out without taking medicine? Say something wrong?

However, they were disappointed. It is natural that the cadre under this old **** cannot make low-level mistakes. He calmly greeted one weird look after another, but from the beginning to the end his eyes were only fixed on Yang Cheng. After all, Yang Cheng was only talented. He is the one who can decide everything, and he has great confidence that Yang Cheng will not refuse.

Why are you so sure? Not all because this offer will raise the valuation of New Era Media, and the old stock **** standing behind him, no one can refuse the investment of the old stock god, because the participation of the old stock **** comes with the aura of skyrocketing stock prices. With the halo bonus, who can refuse the temptation to make money?

But there is one thing he really thinks wrong. Is Yang Cheng the kind of person who needs to look at people's faces? no! He doesn't need the aura bonus of the old stock gods at all. What's more, he doesn't like the investment director looking at him with that kind of superior and pre-determined eyes, using a popular word to describe it, this is called cocky!

The most important thing is that this guy asks for 10% of the shares and the seat of executive director in one go. Isn't this a clear attempt to seize power? Once he agrees, it means that he has added another yoke between himself and Eddie. Isn't this unhappy for himself? If this is the case, he doesn't want a valuation of $30 billion.

You still have to be humble. Now he dares to get a valuation of 26.5 billion US dollars at a loss, 30 billion? He never dreamed that it was not that New Era Media could not have a value of 30 billion US dollars, but that it has not yet reached it. If he was given another year, he would accept the 30 billion valuation with absolute peace of mind.

However, this bad guy does not need to do it himself, unless the group of shareholders don't want to play, otherwise they will never allow anyone to climb on their heads and do it themselves.

Sure enough, before Yang Cheng refused, David Ellison was the first to jump out to express his resolute opposition, "I am not bad when Berkshire is rich. If you want to eat it all, I think, or we go out and fight." One, who wins to whom?"

His unrestrained remarks made the investment director's face black, but he didn't say much. He recognized David Ellison, and he was as crazy as his old man. If he really picks up at this moment, wait a moment. You might really have to fight.

It's a pity that he doesn't say anything doesn't mean that David Ellison will let him go. He sneered and said sarcastically, "You still want the seat of executive director, why don't you say that you want the seat of chairman? Just give New Times Group to How are you? I really don’t know who the old stock gods have recruited. Why do you keep such fools as UU reading ? Eat plain rice?"

The investment director from Berkshire bit his posterior teeth, "Mr. Ellison is too much, you must apologize to me personally and Berkshire Hathaway, otherwise~"

Before the words finished, David Ellison waved his hand impatiently, "What else? Kill me? Or go to the court to sue me and swear? You can go, I have time to play with you?"

The investment director was choked and stopped talking. He stared at David Ellison angrily, and was stunned again, "What? I have nothing to say? If I have nothing to say, sit down and listen honestly. It's up to you to speak. I'll talk later."

Yes, without the need for other shareholders to take action, David Ellison's firepower alone made the opponent internally injured. He refused to leave and sat down and breathed fire in his eyes, but he did not dare to say a word. .

Everyone laughed secretly. The board of directors has more participants. There are not one hundred and eighty. But this is the first time for such an interesting board of directors. Everyone thinks in their hearts that they will not send representatives to come, and they should come to participate.

At this time, Yang Cheng said quietly, "Well, there will always be disputes in financing. It is normal, there is no need to go online."

Such a sentence lightly took Berkshire's unreliable proposal just now, glanced at the audience, and waited for the next speaker.

At this time, another investor stood up. This time it was a woman, dressed in a big red uniform, with black hair and a bit of Oriental descent. She elegantly fluffed her hair and said, "Mr. Yang still has Hi shareholders, I’m Sheryl Sandberg, COO from Facebook."
