Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 289 A Choice Must Be Made

While Wang Ye was listening to his subordinates' reports, in a science and technology park not far from his hotel, in Penguin Company, Brother Xiao Ma was also having a meeting with several company founders.

The thing they discussed was, of course, that Polar Bear Investment and MIH Investment Company wanted to invest in Penguin!

Brother Xiao Ma sighed and said:

"Why does it feel like I'm dreaming these days!

The first half of the year was so difficult, I begged my grandpa to sue my grandma for investment, but no company was willing to pay us a penny!

He wanted to sell the company, but he couldn't even sell it for 300 million, and he was humiliated!
To be honest, I once thought that our company would not last this year.

As a result, these two days have come and gone or something, there are actually two powerful big companies rushing to invest in us!

Whose money should we take now has become a worry for our happiness, haha..."

Vice President Zhang, who is in charge of the company's finance, also said with a smile: "Yes, two days ago, MIH Investment Company directly reported us a valuation of 6000 million US dollars. At that time, I thought I heard it wrong, or they said it wrong. I’ve done it, and I’ve repeatedly verified it several times! I never expected that our company is so valuable? I’m still wondering what’s so valuable about our Penguin company, did we not discover it ourselves?”

There was cheerful laughter in the meeting room. Indeed, penguins can be worth 6000 million US dollars, which is something no one would have dared to imagine a few days ago!
However, some people also raised doubts. Another vice president hesitated and said: "It is a good thing that the valuation is so high. But..., is that MIH company really reliable? It is still a South African company. We used to Haven't heard of it..."

Brother Xiao Ma has obviously thought about this question, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, I have already asked Superman to inquire about it, this company is indeed an investment company under the South African Media Group, and its strength may not be very strong. But it’s okay to spend $2000 million.”

According to the plan put forward by MIH Investment Company, it is to acquire 400% of the shares of Penguin Company with 30.00 million US dollars in cash!
Then, according to the proportion of shares, an additional investment of 600 million US dollars will be used to maintain the normal operation and development of the company.

This requires all shareholders to contribute money, otherwise the shares will be diluted.

Of the 30.00% Wu's shares they want to take away, 20.00% of Wu is in the hands of Xiangjiang Little Superman!
You know, in 2000, Xiangjiang Little Superman paid more than 200 million US dollars and got 20.00% of Penguin's shares.

Only one year later, even when the Internet industry was still in a global cold, the value of his shares had multiplied several times, and he successfully sold his hands and cashed in $1000 million.

It can be said that MIH invested in Penguin, among which Superman contributed a lot, so the shares in his hand also enjoy the priority to withdraw.

The other [-]% of the shares are used to acquire the shares held by the founders such as Xiao Ma.

In this case, Ma and the others can get 500 million dollars in cash!
Of course, they may not be able to pocket the money, because the company needs to expand its shares to raise funds, and if they don't pay, their shareholding ratio will be diluted.

But that's all for later things, I don't care about so much now, let's get the 500 million dollars first!
…………

"What's the status of that polar bear investment? Does anyone know their details?" Brother Xiaoma asked again.

This polar bear investment company has just emerged, and it has only started contacting Penguin in the past few days.

And I haven't given a clear investment plan and valuation yet, I just told the Penguin people not to rush to accept MIH's investment, because the polar bear investment will offer an amount that they can't refuse!
The tone of these words is indeed loud, but it is also really attractive...

Brother Ma and the others didn't immediately agree to MIH's investment plan, they were just waiting for the polar bear's statement.

I heard from that bald-headed Milner that the boss of their investment company flew over today and came to the company in the afternoon for final negotiations.

So Brother Xiaoma and the others hurriedly held a meeting while there was still time, and everyone unified their tone in order to deal with the negotiations in the afternoon.

"I've talked a lot with Milner in the past two days. According to what he told me, the parent company of Polar Bear's investment should actually be Russia's Yukos Group!" Vice President Zhang said mysteriously.

It's a pity that, except for him, everyone in the conference room looked blank.

Ma asked in a daze, "What does the Yukos Group do?"

It’s no wonder that they are all engaged in the Internet, and have never been abroad. Even if they know it, they only know about Internet companies in Europe and the United States, and they don’t know about traditional energy companies like Yukos at all.

What's more, Yukos is a Russian company, so it's no wonder that Ma and the others don't know about it.

Vice President Zhang explained helplessly: "Yukos Group is Russia's largest oil giant. It is said that the oil production of this company is close to 200% of Russia's national output! It is an absolute monopoly. The boss of Yukos, Khovchenko, is Russia. The richest man in the world, with a net worth of more than [-] billion dollars!"

This sentence caused amazement in the conference room.

It doesn't matter what oil giants or monopolies, but when they heard that they were worth more than 200 billion US dollars, everyone was in Bengbu...

Good guy, this is too rich!
Brother Xiao Ma's eyes lit up, and he said quickly: "Does that mean that the strength of this polar bear investment company is much stronger than that of South African MIH!"

"Yes, from the book's point of view, Polar Bear Investment Company is indeed much stronger than South Africa's MIH Company. It is said that some time ago, this company invested 50 billion US dollars and bought Siberia Petroleum Company in a package, which caused a sensation in Russia. Really? Money." Vice President Zhang exclaimed.

Don't think that brother Ma "dislikes the poor and loves the rich", there is no way around this.

Because the investment is not one-time, and may require a large amount of continuous investment in the future, Internet start-ups like Penguin hope to find a powerful investment company as a strategic investor in the early stage!
It is extremely refreshing to pay, and give as much as you want, and you will not dictate the affairs of the company.

This kind of investment company can be said to be the dream of all Internet companies...

"Hey, I hope that Polar Bear can give a satisfactory price during the meeting in the afternoon. Our company can't go on any longer. We have to decide in the next few days whether to choose South African MIH or Polar Bear. I can’t even pay my monthly salary.” Little Ma lamented.
