On the other side, I waited in the reception room for a full two hours.
Tang Yijing's legs were a little numb when he was sitting, and Hu Yifei walked out of Gao Yuan's office.
After a quick glance, Tang Yijing raised his eyebrows slightly as he saw the joyful expressions on their faces, secretly guessing what secrets the few people were talking about in the room.
It's a pity that the opponent's rise is so fast that even a pervasive capital giant like Gao Sheng has not had time to install internal intelligence channels...
"Mr. Tang, Director Gao please come in."
"Oh! Okay, thank you!"
…
"Mr. Tang, I'm sorry for the long wait."
"No, no, I took the liberty of visiting you and disturbing your work, Director Gao. I should be the one to say sorry."
Gao Yuan smiled slightly.
After waiting outside for a full two hours, this attitude was much lower than the first time we met.
Obviously, this is a change in status brought about by strength.
"Mr. Tang is here today, is he still here to discuss acquisitions?"
"Uh...haha!" Tang Yijing smiled awkwardly.
"Dr. Gao has a sharp eye, and his investment vision is really admirable. Bai Yeji became famous in one battle, and now his growth potential is immeasurable.
In the past, we were blind to gold and jade, so the asking price of 10 billion was really a bit abrupt.
But...I am here today to discuss acquisitions."
"Oh?" Gao Yuan raised her eyebrows.
"It is true, Director Gao, that your investment this time is a stroke of genius. The combination of Baiyeji and Idou New Energy has given investors a lot of room for imagination.
That smart assistant product is indeed amazing. Our previous judgment was correct. You are really an outstanding entrepreneur with great vision and good at creating miracles.
Presumably your company must have made a huge investment in technology...
I think...this should be the real reason why you have to continue to push up financing leverage, right?"
Uh...huge financial investment?
Did you misunderstand something?
Gao Yuan's expression was slightly strange, probably because she knew what the other party wanted to say...
Sure enough, Tang Yijing smiled slightly and continued with determination.
“Even with senior talents like Professor Zheng joining us, whether it’s cutting-edge biotechnology or cutting-edge AI technology.
The early stage is a stage where a lot of money is burned, and the later stage requires continuous and continuous capital investment.
Although the new car is selling well this time, as far as I know, the capital flow brought by this mini car can at most solve the capital shortage problem of Aidou New Energy, and it will not be able to provide much money back to the parent company in a short period of time.
.
So... I guess your biggest problem now, Director Gao, is still how to raise funds, right?"
First there were two important biotechnology breakthroughs, and then "Bajie" became a blockbuster.
This cannot be explained by luck.
The only explanation is that huge amounts of research and development funds have been invested...
In fact, Tang Yijing's idea is not surprising. It is in line with normal logic. Even the current cash flow of idols is estimated by him to be close to 10%.
There was just one point where he got distracted.
That’s the technology acquisition cost…
"Well... in a sense, what you said is right. I am indeed short of money at the moment." Gao Yuan smiled and nodded.
"You know, if you want to build a large computing center, expand the scale of AI application customers, and follow-up technology research and development, this means huge investment.
But...since Mr. Tang mentioned it, could it be that your company has something to do with the last time I asked for a loan?"
Tang Yijing's mouth twitched.
Why did you bring up borrowing money again?
Can't we just have a nice chat about acquisitions?
"Ahem! Director Gao, as I said last time, if the problem of the shipyard is not solved, I am afraid that the company's senior management will still have concerns about borrowing money."
Tang Yijing reminded him as if unintentionally.
"Oh, what does the acquisition Mr. Tang just mentioned mean..." Gao Yuan also cooperated and continued the topic.
"The company agreed to the 3.6 billion quotation mentioned by Director Gao before!"
"Huh?" Gao Yuan raised her eyebrows.
3.6 billion, this was the price Tang Yijing offered for the eight large oil tankers last time she visited...
"Of course, there are conditions attached to our acquisition of these eight oil tankers at a level that exceeds the market price!"
Tang Yijing was well versed in negotiation, so it was naturally impossible for him to act like he was rushing to buy a boat.
"Oh? What are the conditions?"
"We hope to purchase 10% of Baiyeji's shares at a valuation of 15 billion."
"emm..."
Seeing Gao Yuan thinking deeply, Tang Yijing began to draw the pie path.
"Director Gao, I believe this price and conditions are enough to demonstrate our sincerity in cooperation.
We very much hope to invest in high-quality companies with huge future development potential like Baiyeji.
With your ability, Baiyeji's technology, and Gaosheng's international resources, it is not impossible for us to join forces to develop Baiyeji into the next Cambrian, and even ring the bell in Gotham to go public!
And in this way, you can also greatly relieve financial pressure and carry out the next round of research and development and expansion.
I believe this is definitely a perfect win-win!”
Tang Yijing gave up the direct acquisition of Evergreen Biotech this time, and instead only asked to control 10% of Baiyeji's shares.
This is an investment strategy adjustment made by Gao Sheng's senior management after seeing Gao Yuan's attitude and Bai Yeji's value.
Evergreen Biotech is Gao Yuan’s fundamentals, while Baiyeji is just the holding company of Evergreen Biotech.
Judging from the last performance, Gao Yuan obviously had concerns about selling Evergreen Biotech's shares and showed an extremely determined attitude.
But he may not necessarily be so guarded against Bai Yeji.
From a practical point of view, compared to two biotechnologies with limited influence, an IT company that has successively created star-level AI products obviously has more investment value.
When the time comes, use the resources you have to create a little hype and let Bai Yeji squeeze into the "100 billion club". Once the shares in his hand are sold, it will be a hugely profitable deal.
By the way, it can also complete the acquisition of eight oil tankers... It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone!
As long as the other party nods, they can immediately obtain a huge amount of funds totaling up to 5.1 billion, which can solve their urgent needs.
In Tang Yijing's view, it was almost impossible for Gao Yuan to refuse such a generous offer.
However……
Gao Yuan slowly shook her head.
Tang Yijing's face froze.
"Director Gao, aren't you satisfied with the price?
Although Baiyeji has technology, it has not yet been tested on a large scale by the market, so the price we offered is already quite sincere."
Gao Yuan shook her head, "I'm afraid Mr. Tang may have misunderstood. I quite agree with Bai Yeji's current valuation. I'm talking about the price of 3.6 billion."
"Uh...what do you mean?" Tang Yijing was stunned.
"I said 3.6 billion before, but that doesn't mean it's still 3.6 billion today. Just follow the market. Mr. Tang should understand, right?" Gao Yuan said with a smile.
Tang Yijing: "..."
He looked a little stiff and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean, Director Gao."
To be continued...
