From retail to global domination

One billion U.S. dollars was used to acquire 30% of the shares. It must be said that Giant Sun is very sincere.

At this time, Huifeng Mall is not worth the price.

But who is Giant Sun?

Everyone said he was a lunatic who would not hesitate to place big bets on someone he saw.

Yahoo was like this back then, and Huifeng Mall is still like this today.

Back then, Yahoo’s sales were US$100 million; today’s Huifeng Mall is US$1 billion.

This is a billion dollars.

The financial crisis has not yet come, and the U.S. dollar still has great purchasing power.

This guy is indeed a lunatic, which is equivalent to studding him.

To be honest, Zhang Yang was really tempted.

Nonsense, can you not be tempted? The price offered by the other party is too high.

With this billion US dollars, Huifeng Mall will usher in rapid development, and it will not even need to raise financing, and can be listed directly.

But when he thought about going public in the beautiful country in the future, Zhang Yang could only refuse.

It was a bit embarrassing to reject Juli Sun’s announcement over and over again.

When he was at Neon, Giant Sun helped him a lot. Even when he knew he had offended the Mitsubishi Group, he still helped him. He cherished this friendship.

In fact, it is not impossible to accept investment from Giant Sun. After all, behind Giant Sun there is also China’s capital.

Not now.

The largest shareholder behind SoftBank is Standard Bank of South Africa. In 2008, ICBC acquired 20% of Standard Bank's shares and became the largest shareholder.

However, Hui Feng Mall will be listed on Nasdaq.

If you want to be listed on Nasdaq, you must accept capital from beautiful countries, so as to maximize your benefits.

"30% is impossible, the most is 10%, but I want 500 million US dollars, if he doesn't agree, forget it." After thinking about it, Zhang Yang gave a price.

Five hundred million U.S. dollars, 10% of the shares, that is to say, the current valuation of Huifeng Mall has reached five billion U.S. dollars.

Okay, Li Ying was a little speechless. Isn't this a big opening for a lion? Will Giant Sun agree?

"Just tell him that this is the only and last time he takes this bus. If he misses this opportunity, there will be no next time." Although Zhang Yang is not short of money, the shares of Huifeng Mall are no longer in his hands.

Now, he can no longer invest in it, and Huifeng Mall is now facing expansion, which requires funds, huge funds, so it is not impossible to accept investment from Juju Sun.

"Okay, I'll tell him, but I don't think there's much hope." Li Ying curled her lips.

This is taking advantage of Giant Sun.

Li Ying thought that asking for 30% of the shares for one billion US dollars was a sky-high price. Who would have thought that Zhang Yang would be even more ruthless, asking for 10% of the shares for US$500 million?

It would be damned if Giant Sun could accept it.

It’s just that she doesn’t like it anyway.

"By the way, have other investment companies contacted us?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Yes, there are quite a few, Sequoia Capital, Greenland Capital, Nasdaq, Tiger Management, Goldman Sachs Group, Bain Capital..." Li Ying changed the names of the companies they had recently contacted.

These capitals are all giants, but the one that excites Zhang Yang the most is Nasdaq.

Huifeng Mall will definitely be listed on Nasdaq in the future. If it accepts their financing, Nasdaq will definitely help promote it, and at the same time, it will save a lot of trouble during the review.

"Let's talk to Nasdaq." Zhang Yang said into the phone.

"good.

But how many shares should we take out?" Although she is solely responsible for the operation of Huifeng Mall and Zhang Yang will not interfere, Zhang Yang still needs to make the decision on such a big matter of financing.

"5%." Zhang Yang is planning to give Giant Sun 10% of the shares, so naturally he won't give out too many shares. This is considered an angel round of financing, and an A round will be needed next.

"Isn't 5% a bit low?" Li Ying asked.

"It's quite a lot. Counting Giant Sun, we have already given out 15% of the shares, and there will be an A round next. Taking out too many shares is not conducive to our control of the company." Zhang Yang said.

Well, when hearing this, Li Ying rolled her eyes.

She didn't think Giant Sun would accept the price.

10% of US$500 million, this price is not ordinary high!

"What if Giant Sun doesn't accept our offer?" Li Ying decided to ask more questions.

"Then give me 10% of the shares." As he said this, in Zhang Yang's opinion, Giant Sun would definitely accept it.

Zhang Yang still knew Juju Sun quite well.

Giant Sun will definitely get on his train.

“How much does land cost?”

"Three hundred million U.S. dollars." Without thinking, Zhang Yang named a price.

This time Li Ying rolled her eyes even more.

The treatment of people is really different!

If Giant Sun wants to get 10% of the shares, he needs to pay an extra $200 million. The comparison between people is so irritating!

If Giant Sun knew what this guy was thinking, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.

No, sooner or later you will know that it is impossible for those who receive financing from Huifeng Mall not to wear it. There is no secret in this. It won’t be long before everyone will know it!

I don’t know if Giant Sun will be so angry that he will be hospitalized after finding out.

Then the two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

When Zhang Yang accepted financing from Juju Sun, Zhang Yang's net worth rose again invisibly.

Forbes previously valued Huifeng Mall at US$1 billion, but after accepting investment from Juliu Sun and Nasdaq, Huifeng Mall's valuation immediately became US$4.5 billion, an increase of more than four times.

.

After selling 15% of the shares and excluding those to others, Zhang Yang still has at least 60% in his hands, which is US$2.7 billion.

In other words, Zhang Yang's net worth has increased by US$1.7 billion.

With the addition of the US$1.7 billion, his net worth became US$47.7 billion, surpassing Bill's US$46.5 billion, making him the richest man in the world.

I don’t know if Forbes will re-rank it.

Unless there are unexpected circumstances, Forbes only counts statistics once a year.

Forbes is the most influential in the world in terms of rankings of rich people.

Forbes first launched the World's Richest List in 1982, which had a huge impact around the world. Now, the annual Forbes World's Billionaires List is closely watched around the world. Forbes compiles more than a hundred rankings of relevant people, companies and lifestyles every year.

, on a global scale, the status of the Forbes rich list is unquestionable.

The reason Forbes is so influential is thanks to a team of more than 50 journalists from different countries tracking the activities of the world's richest people.

According to Forbes, they generally include land, houses, vehicles, art and other valuable assets when investigating personal wealth, and then conduct interviews with these people to review them and gain a better understanding of their holdings.

Some private assets.

Finally, open market stock positions are roughly estimated based on market value one month before publication.

Of course, these steps are omitted when Zhang Yang comes here.

After all, many of Zhang Yang's industries have not yet been listed and received financing, so it is difficult to estimate. There is no need to meet in person, they are just making a rough estimate.

Therefore, even if Huifeng Mall accepts financing this time, Forbes will not announce their personal assets again, because they have already violated the regulations once and will not violate the regulations a second time.

Otherwise, the authority of Forbes will be reduced a lot in the future, and most people will no longer recognize Forbes’ rankings.

They would not do such an act of seeking death a second time.

As for how the media reports it, it's not something Forbes can control.

As you can imagine, when the news got out, the media were the happiest.

They will definitely make a big report about surpassing Bill in net worth and becoming the richest man in the world.

Well, in fact, Forbes regretted it at this time.

The personal assets they calculated for Zhang Yang are a bit high!

Why send this guy to second place? Isn't third place bad?

They didn't expect that Huifeng Mall over there would receive financing just after they finished ranking the list. Isn't this a coincidence?

In fact, Zhang Yang still has to thank Forbes. Without their help, Huifeng Mall would not be worth the price.

After hanging up the phone, Li Ying met with Juju Sun.

Even though Juju Sun had a good relationship with Zhang Yang, he did not go to talk to Zhang Yang because he knew very well that Zhang Yang's obsession with shares was as much as Lao Maozi's obsession with land.

In this case, we can only find Li Ying, the person in charge of Huifeng Mall.

He had investigated Li Ying and found out that she came back from a beautiful country and had a relatively Western mindset.

That's why he went to Li Ying directly.

If you can talk it through to Li Ying, your success rate will greatly increase.

This is why Giant Sun offered a value investment in Huifeng Mall that was several times higher than the market price. He didn't believe that Li Ying wouldn't be tempted.

Sure enough, his strategy worked.

When Li Ying heard about the price, he was tempted, really tempted.

It would be a lie to say that you are not moved.

The current valuation of Huifeng Mall is as high as one billion U.S. dollars, but Giant Sun actually offered a price more than three times. I wonder if he can not be tempted?

This is why I got this call from Li Ying.

Okay, I thought that Giant Sun had given enough, but the publicity was not enough. The lion opened his mouth, 500 million and 10% of the shares?

Well, if Giant Sun accepts this price, the valuation of Huifeng Mall will immediately become five billion US dollars!

Five times.

It’s doubled five times!

This guy is ruthless enough.

Li Ying was admired, but she didn't know if Juli Sun would be so angry that he would jump to his feet and curse when she told him the news.

After all, this is indeed a lot to ask for, and Juli Sun will not accept it even if he is being taken advantage of!

Well, she was a little embarrassed to say it.

But the tasks assigned by the boss must be completed. Who makes me the boss?

"Mr. Li, how are you? Have you communicated with the chairman?" In front of Li Ying, Giant Sun did not directly address Zhang Yang by his name, which was considered a sign of respect.

In private, Giant Sun can call Zhang Yang whatever he wants, but now we are not in private, we are talking about business.

"Contact Mr. Sun.

That...that..." Well, Li Ying didn't know how to speak.

She didn't know how to open her mouth, but it made Giant Sun so anxious.

In his opinion, he was rejected again!

That's right, Zhang Yang is not short of funds, and he is even more dedicated to his shares. There is no need to accept financing from others!

Although I already knew the result when I arrived, I was still a little disappointed.

Don't be disappointed.

Zhang Yang has been paying attention to it since he entered the business world.

To be honest, he was very optimistic about Zhang Yang and had always wanted to join his company, but he had always been rejected.

If it were anyone else, Juliu Sun would have been too lazy to pay attention to him. Who is he? Juliu Sun, known as the godfather of the Internet, has lost face. He was continuously rejected and even taken advantage of by a young man less than 20 years old.

But the other party is Zhang Yang, synonymous with miracles.

In a short period of time, this guy's net worth surpassed that of the stock god and became the second richest person in the world.

Although Forbes has a lot of flaws in its statistics, the net worth of $20 billion is still there.

You know, this is already very impressive. With 20 billion US dollars, a boy less than 20 years old started from scratch and worked hard in less than two years. This is already a miracle.

As time goes by, Huifeng Group becomes larger and larger, and its assets are also increasing. It is conceivable that before long, his worth will truly surpass Bill and become the real richest man in the world.

But this takes time, five years, at least five years.

As for the hotly discussed comment on the Internet that Zhang Yang's net worth will surpass Bill's next year, it is impossible in Juventus Sun's opinion.

Forbes will not rank it this way next year.

Forbes is not stupid either.

If it continues to be this high next year, their credibility will be reduced, which is not worth the loss.

Once the credibility is reduced, no one will agree with Forbes' ranking in the future. This is tantamount to destroying the Great Wall.

Forbes would never do such a stupid thing.

As for this time, it's nothing, and others won't pursue it. Forbes used the publicity to launch a wave of advertising to attract more people to pay attention to Forbes, especially the big market of China.

From now on, China will only recognize Forbes' rankings. This result is also what the world's richest people want to see, a win-win situation.

As for Zhang Yang being ranked second for the first time, it’s not something unacceptable.

Of course, just because these people can accept it once does not mean they can accept it twice.

The publicity has opened up, and Forbes is doing this, so it’s time to talk about it.

They will not allow themselves to be trampled under the feet of a young man less than twenty years old.

The second time you must follow the rules.

As for Zhang Yang, as long as he is not among the top five richest people in the world, they can accept it.

Unless his assets truly surpass them.

"Mr. Li, didn't Mr. Zhang refuse?!" Juju Sun had a disappointed expression on his face.

"No." Li Ying replied, and then organized the conversation: "The boss agreed, but he can only give out 10% of the shares, and the price..."

Well, she was really embarrassed to speak. Isn’t this a lion’s big mouth?

"How much?" Upon hearing Zhang Yang's agreement, Giant Sun immediately smiled happily.

As for 10% of the shares, just 10%, it would be good if you can get it.

With his flamboyant personality, he never expected to accept his financing. This was what surprised him the most.

In fact, this time, Giant Sun also had the idea of ​​​​giving it a try, but unexpectedly he succeeded. Can he be unhappy?

"Five hundred million dollars!" If you extend your head, you will get a knife, and if you shrink your head, it will also be a knife. It's better to have fun.

Anyway, Giant Sun will not agree. As for whether he will jump and scold his mother, let him do it.

Of course, if this guy really wanted to scold him, Li Ying would not hesitate to ask the bodyguard to ask him out.

She doesn't want to be scolded, and she doesn't have this habit...
