Chapter 145 It’s great to be rich

Li Zhenyu raised his hand, and so did everyone else.

Including Lu Rong.

Whether you argue or not depends on your strength, but if you don't argue there is a problem with your attitude.

Lu Rong didn't want to be held accountable for this after returning.

Seeing that everyone was interested in adding more money, Xiao Zha looked a little proud.

Teenagers are crazy, that’s how it should be!

Since no one quits, the one with the highest price will naturally win.

Li Zhenyu stared at the white paper in front of him, thinking about what price he should offer?

Each person only has one chance to make a bid. If he bids less, he will be intercepted. If he bids more...

How much is too much?

"BOSS, the price increase should not exceed 10 million."

Claire believes that the premium for half of the shares will not exceed this amount, and the total price should be around 260 million.

If you are worried, you can add 1 to 2 million more.

But Li Zhenyu felt that this price was not very safe.

Others judge the value of Facebook based on the present, but only Li Zhenyu knows how impressive its market value will be in the future.

If you look at the whole picture from the future, you won't think that 260 million is a safe number.

Li Zhenyu didn't know how much others would pay. He just asked himself a question in his mind.

Which one does he want more, money or shares?

In fact, I already had the answer when I hesitated.

After thinking about this, Li Zhenyu wrote down a number on the paper without hesitation.

Claire, who had been observing, couldn't help but widen her eyes.

But before she said anything, Li Zhenyu had already handed over the folded note.

Claire reached out to grab it, but put her hand down halfway.

Li Zhenyu doesn't like others to interfere in his decisions, and he hates Lao Mo's free and loose character.

So, it's better not to get into trouble yourself.

"Goldman Sachs offered 165 million for 6% of the shares."

Turn the note over and face everyone, so everyone participating in the bidding can see it clearly.

Then he put it back on the table and opened the next one.

At this time, Claire's expression was very strange, ranging from happiness to confusion, and even more of loss and decadence.

It seems that she is still suitable to be a lawyer. It is too difficult to guess the thoughts of business people.

Every one of the bidders who came to participate in the auction counted as one, and they didn’t tell the truth from the beginning.

The expressions and movements are all acting, without any emotion.

6…

Sensing the concentration of gaze, Lu Rong turned to look at Li Zhenyu aside, their eyes met, her smiling eyes showed a hint of apology, and she nodded slightly to greet him.

Li Zhenyu nodded in response, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, 'His grandma's stuff really doesn't have anything good!'

Lu Rong may have received the news before he came.

Knowing that I couldn't get a spot based on my own strength, I found a collaborator early.

As for why he wanted to win over him again, Li Zhenyu had two guesses, either because he wanted to paralyze him, or because he made a temporary move and wanted to find a collaborator with better 'control'.

Bidding with her was Geode Capital from Boston.

Dadi Capital was established in 2001. It has been less than 7 years but it manages a huge amount of funds of more than 500 billion US dollars.

Its source of funds and shareholders behind the scenes are quite mysterious, and Li Zhenyu suspects that it is related to Boston and the Kennedy family.

Judging from Lu Rong's performance, she should know something about this new capital.

State Street bid $153 million, and Big Speaker bid $140 million. The original six companies competing became 2:2:1:1.

Li Zhenyu and Daofu became the only two lonely people.

The other four companies joined forces in pairs, hoping to jointly acquire half of the shares.

There was only the last piece of paper left on the table. The assistant picked it up and opened it. His eyes widened instantly and he looked back at his boss in confusion.

Xiao Zha frowned, stood up and moved forward: "Is there any problem?"

The assistant hesitated to speak and simply handed him the note.

Looking down, Zach's eyes widened as well, his expression full of surprise.

"Universal investment, 350 million."

Goldman Sachs offered 165 million, followed by State Street's 153 million, which together only amounted to 318 million.

Li Zhenyu’s bid was US$32 million higher than the highest price.

This price exceeded everyone's expectations. No one could have imagined that someone would give such a high price.

Is he crazy?

At the same time, everyone thought of another problem, 'He wants to monopolize it.'

For $350 million, he acquired 1.2% of Facebook's shares and kicked everyone else out.

"Mark, he can't do this."

Dadi Capital protested and agreed to two quotas.

Lu Rong was a little helpless, she still underestimated his courage.

350 million US dollars, how dare he...

But when he thought about the cash flow he could use, Lu Rong could only smile and shake his head.

This time, it’s not unfair to lose!

“Goldman Sachs can help Facebook achieve better development.”

Lu Rong threw out the last card. Investors don’t just have to have money.

Even if it is a franchise brand, one of the brand's requirements for franchisees will be "having a certain social status and influence in the local area".

“Universal investment will help Facebook expand into the Asian market.”

To be able to do this, the cowhide must be blown full first.

South Korea is also one of the Asian member countries. Rounding things off, opening up the South Korean market does not mean opening up the Asian market.

Nothing wrong!

Now it was Xiao Zha's turn to be in trouble, and it was very tempting for him to explore overseas markets.

He's just not sure, is the time now right?

"Sorry, I need some time."

Nodding politely to everyone, Zach quickly walked through the corridor and entered the office.

The transparent glass wall cannot block everyone's view. You can clearly see him dialing a certain number and discussing with others on the phone.

Lu Rong came to him again, "What do you think he will choose?"

"This time, I won."

"Are you so confident?"

"Without confidence, who can refuse the temptation of earning an extra 32 million yuan."

Li Zhenyu is not so narcissistic as to think that he can kill both men and women.

Well, fencing is a sport that should be left to people with moles.

He simply believes that the charm of money will overwhelm the other end of the scale.

What's more, he also added a feather (developing the Asian market) to it.

"Will you blame me?" Lu Rong tried his best to hide it, but his voice was still trembling.

Li Zhenyu tilted his head and asked with confusion: "Why?"

Everyone is his own master and everyone performs his duties. What can be wrong with this?

Do you still expect Lu Rong to sell Goldman Sachs' wealth to him with a flick of his finger?

If she were really like this, Li Zhenyu really wouldn't dare to use her.
