My Age of Investment

Seeing that Xia Jingxing could not be allowed to "retreat", Howard began to detour again.

"As far as I know, Facebook has just completed the angel round of financing, right?"

Howard looked at Xia Jingxing with the appearance of a "come here" and persuaded, "Start-ups should focus more on their own business expansion and make strategic investments. That's what a mature business should do."

Xia Jingxing chuckled, "Mr. Howard doesn't have to worry about it, Facebook is Facebook, I am me, I just quit an investment some time ago, and I happened to have some spare money in my hand.

I am very bullish on Skype, and investing a few million is not a big amount to me. "

Xia Jingxing spoke very directly, and directly put on a stunned look.

If you don't agree, I will throw money at you.

Howard was a little uncertain.

It's not that Xia Jingxing is afraid, but that De Fengjie's funds are entrusted to them by the clients to manage.

A foundation invests in multiple projects, each project can save a little, and naturally it will save a little.

While Scape is good, there is no guarantee that it will succeed.

Xia Jingxing and the others saw that the telecommunications company would fight back, and De Fengjie naturally saw this as well.

The investment risk is still a bit high, and Howard is naturally willing to pay less if he can invest in Scape at a lower cost.

But the posture of this young man in front of him is to compete with himself?

"Hahaha~ I have been in the business for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen an angel investor who compares financial resources with Defengjie."

Howard laughed, even if he was not very willing to bid, he couldn't lose De Fengjie's momentum, and he pretended to be very calm.

Jonas gave Nicholas a happy look at the six-member group of entrepreneurs who were watching. He had planned for a long time. How could he get better investment conditions if investors from both sides were not allowed to compete? Woolen cloth?

Nicholas was a little opposed at first. He sent business plans to dozens of venture capital firms, and the only two who responded to his emails and came to Estonia were the two in front of him.

They think that Scape is a great innovation and that it will be a big success in the future, but most VCs obviously don't see it that way.

He opposes Jonas's approach, and is also afraid that both investment institutions will be angry.

Looking at it now, it seems to be not bad, the two are about to pinch.

Xia Jingxing and Howard were at each other's throats, and when they were about to tear their faces and start bidding, the latter suddenly said, "I'm a little hungry, let's talk after lunch!"

When Howard got up and smoothed the folds of his clothes, he gave Xia Jingxing a cryptic look while carrying the Entrepreneurial Group of Six.

After Howard left, Xia Jingxing chatted with the Entrepreneurial Six for a few minutes before leaving.

When I got downstairs, I saw Howard leaning on the wall at a glance.

"How about having lunch together?"

Howard tilted his head and asked.

"OK!"

Xia Jingxing smiled brightly.

In the box of a restaurant not far away, Howard smiled and said, "Daren, investment has always been about win-win, do you agree?"

"Of course I approve!"

Xia Jingxing shrugged, "Otherwise, Mr. Howard wouldn't have invited me to dinner, right?"

Howard smiled, he likes to deal with smart people, save trouble!

Jonas's little thought, he has long seen through.

After working for so many years, can you still be played by the founder?

Originally, he planned to follow Jonas's wishes to see if he could scare the other investor away.

But after a brief chat, he realized that Xia Jingxing was not easy to deal with.

Without a price increase, it is estimated that the project cannot be won.

But this is clearly counter-intended.

In addition, the feeling of being used by others is also very uncomfortable.

So he gave Xia Jingxing a hint, and the other party really followed.

"Defenger can invest in Skype together with you, which not only avoids price conflicts, but also unites more people and is conducive to Skype's growth."

Howard said with a smile: "As long as we both stand together, we can take more shares for less."

Needless to say, Xia Jingxing could have guessed Howard's "trick", and it was not uncommon for venture capitalists to unite to put pressure on entrepreneurs.

In the end, it's all for profit.

"How are the shares distributed?"

Howard laughed, he originally thought that Xia Jingxing would resist one or two.

Unexpectedly, the meat has not yet been put into the pot, and they all began to talk about how to divide it up.

Direct enough, he likes it.

"Twenty-eight points! If you dilute 10% of the equity, you will get two points, and De Fengjie will get eight points."

Xia Jingxing shook his head, "I'm not your vassal, why should I only get 20%? It must be 55 points."

Andrew smiled and watched the distribution of benefits without interjecting. He really wanted to see how the people from Scape would react later.

Howard thought for a while and said, "Then we will give you 10% more, you 30%, and we 70%. This is the final distribution plan."

Finally, I did not forget to add, "I believe that under the same conditions, the team of Scape will give priority to us. After all, we are an established institution that has been in business for nearly 30 years."

Xia Jingxing heard the threat in Howard's words: De Fengjie has already raised his hand if he can let you in and have a sip of soup, and pay attention to win-win.

If you really want to tear your face, De Fengjie is not afraid of you at all.

Xia Jingxing said indifferently, "Let's assign it to four or six. When we young people talk about martial arts, we should respect the old seniors once."

"It seems that we can't talk about it!"

Howard spread his hands, a look of fearlessness.

"Our cooperation is a whole, and the cake is so big. Instead of arguing about how to distribute this small cake, it is better to divide a big cake together."

Howard understood and asked, "Do you mean to let the Sky team sell more shares?"

"Yes, why should the two investment institutions dilute 20% of their shares?"

Howard laughed, "You have a good idea! Maybe try it!"

"cheers!"

Howard raised his glass and smiled.

"Happy cooperation!"

Xia Jingxing picked up the wine glass and drank it all at once.

…………

…………

Option A: Invest 300,000 US dollars, the post-investment valuation is 3 million US dollars, and the shares are diluted by 10%;

Plan B: Invest 1 million US dollars, post-investment valuation of 5 million US dollars, and dilute 20% of the shares.

In the afternoon, Howard put two investment proposals in front of the six-person entrepreneurial group of Scape.

The six looked at each other and turned their attention to Xia Jingxing.

Xia Jingxing said with a smile, "Mr. Howard and I have reached an agreement, and I also agree with these two plans."

Howard leaned on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, smiling and waiting for the choice of the six.

Without thinking, the two investors have struck a deal.

Jonas is a little depressed, isn't it just lunch time? Does this hook up?

Six people said they needed to be considered, with no immediate response.
