My Age of Investment

After agreeing to all transaction details, the quartet signed a letter of intent to invest in a hotel in San Francisco.

As soon as the agreement was signed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that this matter could finally come to an end.

Jack Ma clasped his fists and bowed to the three investors.

"Thank you for your trust and support for Ali and me, Jack Ma!

I will definitely not disappoint everyone's expectations, and will strive to create greater value and returns for shareholders! "

Perhaps because the deal was concluded, and the terms of the deal were far better than expected, Ma Yun was in a good mood and said a lot of scenes.

"Jack, in my mind, you have always been the type of entrepreneur with the most potential. This has never changed.

Whether it is now or in the future, Softbank will support you as always! "

Some time ago, Sun Zhengyi, who planned to sell Ahri's equity to eaby, did not lose the wind when he talked about the scene.

Yang Zhiyuan was less fussy and just said a few words of encouragement.

After chatting for a few words, Xia Jingxing was no longer interested in participating in business exchanging, so he took the financing documents and checked them carefully.

He looked at it and thought about it.

Vision Capital needs to acquire 22.67% of the shares held by other shareholders of Ari, using 392 million US dollars;

Then inject 304.6 million US dollars into Ari, and Ari will issue some new shares to Vision Capital;

After the 22.67% dilution and the additional new shares issued, Vision Capital holds a total of 23% of Ari.

Two transactions with a total amount of 696.6 million US dollars, less than 700 million US dollars!

Originally, he thought that he would find an investment bank to make an equity pledge loan, but now it seems that the result is better than expected. The funds currently available are enough to complete these two transactions.

Xia Jingxing's contemplation caught Sun Zhengyi's attention.

The old man smiled and said, "Dai Lun, the transfer of old shares should be done sooner rather than later. In order to avoid any accidents, our two families need to complete the transaction as soon as possible."

Sun Zhengyi originally wanted to repair the relationship with Xia Jingxing,

Only then did he take the initiative to talk to the latter.

But the old man's gesture of favor was mistaken by Xia Jingxing as not trusting his own strength.

I can't blame him for thinking too much. The main thing is that Sun Zhengyi has always been very rude to him.

How did he know that the other party was here to show his favor, so he just thought about it.

So he replied coldly: "Don't worry, I won't delay you. If you want to trade without due diligence, we will accompany you."

Sun Zhengyi didn't know why this young man was so angry. He smiled and said indifferently: "You can trade without complete adjustment. Softbank is a shareholder of Ahri, and knows Ahri's business situation very well."

Then he said flatly: "We can, can you?"

It was only then that Xia Jingxing realized that Softbank had been Ahri's shareholder a few years ago, and his understanding of this company was far deeper than his own.

However, he did not lose any momentum, and continued to speak following Sun Zhengyi's words: "Okay, let's start directly delivering the financing tomorrow!

For such a large-scale transaction, the money will be transferred without due diligence. It should be a good story if it spreads out. "

Sun Zhengyi was silent.

Unlike Vision Capital, SoftBank has other people's shares, and Masayoshi Son cannot act arbitrarily.

Such a large-scale transaction, without even doing due diligence, just sent money directly.

If it spreads out, it will not be a good story, but it will be regarded as unprofessional, or even insider trading.

Sun Zhengyi didn't dare to smash his own brand, and no longer competed with young people in words.

Ma Yun has been watching the two fight from the side, his face is fine, but his heart is full of smiles.

If the shareholders are united, he will not be able to sleep soundly.

Since Xia Jingxing and Sun Zhengyi met for the first time, they were at odds.

The two fought, he was too happy, how could he persuade him.

However, surface work still needs to be done.

When the two of them stopped talking and there was no good show to watch, Jack Ma jumped out to persuade them to make peace.

"Everyone can just be joking! Although I can't wait to get the money tomorrow, due diligence is still a necessary procedure."

After all, Ma Yun gave Xia Jingxing a sideways look, and said earnestly, "Dai Lun, Mr. Sun Zhengyi is a senior in the industry and has a high attainment in the investment industry.

In fact, Softbank and Vision Capital also have a lot of room for cooperation, and you can communicate and share investment information and experience together. "

It is not an exaggeration to say that Jack Ma kills people.

As soon as the deal was concluded, gossip began.

He is also a "senior in the industry" and "highly accomplished in investment", so Xia Jingxing is short of directly asking Xia Jingxing to apprentice him on the spot.

If another young man in his early twenties heard it, combined with the verbal skirmish just now, he might be stabbed on the spot.

Even if he doesn't shoot stabs, he will record Sun Zhengyi in his own notebook.

But how could Xia Jingxing fall for Jack Ma's tricks, he smiled and said nothing.

Jack Ma's thoughts fell through, and he also knew that he was careless again, and he couldn't treat the other party as an ordinary young man in his early twenties.

In order to resolve the embarrassment that no one answered, Ma Yun began to change the subject: "After the due diligence is over and the delivery begins, Ahri will reorganize the board of directors. Darren and Jerry, you two will become Ahri's new directors."

Seeing that both of them nodded, expressing their clarity, Jack Ma looked at Masayoshi Son again, and said, "Softbank will keep one director seat unchanged."

Masayoshi Son nodded.

Ma Yun continued: "Then Joseph and I will also join Ahri's board of directors, a total of five directors."

Ari’s board of directors is not many, only five, Ari’s management has two seats, and each of the three shareholders has one seat.

This was accomplished with the signing of the agreement.

Everyone actually knows that Jack Ma is just looking for something to talk about, making awkward conversations.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, they chatted for a few more words, Sun Zhengyi and Yang Zhiyuan took their leave one after another and left.

Xia Jingxing was also about to leave, but was stopped by Jack Ma.

"Jack, what's the matter?"

With a mysterious look, Ma Yun looked around and saw that there was no one there. Then he said with confidence: "Dai Lun, we are both Chinese. When the critical moment comes, you have to help your family!"

Ma Yun looked straight at Xia Jingxing with a very serious expression.

"That's for sure!"

Xia Jingxing replied without thinking.

"I knew, Jing Xing, you are the one who can tell right from wrong!"

In order to highlight his Chinese identity, Jack Ma stopped calling him "Dai Lun" and called him "Jing Xing" directly.

Xia Jingxing can somewhat understand Ma Yun's real thoughts. The management only holds 31% of the shares, and the corresponding voting rights are so many, so they don't feel particularly safe.

It's not Ma Yun or Cai Congxin who doesn't understand AB shares, but Sun Zhengyi and Yang Zhiyuan disagree with the implementation of AB shares at all.

In order to get financing, Jack Ma had to grit his teeth and accept it.

If Envision Capital, Yahoo, and SoftBank were to collude to replace the management, Jack Ma's team would not be able to stop it.

Ma Yun sighed, "According to the agreement, my CEO tenure period is only five years.

In these five years, no one can replace me.

But after five years, there is no such guarantee.

Jing Xing, if I don't do well, replace me and let someone more capable take the stage, I will step aside and make way for the worthy.

But if I do well, I hope that you, Jing Xing, can stand by my side when that extreme situation arises.

Ari, in the final analysis, is still a national enterprise, managed by the Chinese, and an Internet technology company controlled by Chinese capital.

I really don't hope that one day it will become a company controlled by foreigners and managed by a foreigner with a big nose. "

Ma Yun spoke with sincerity, if Xia Jingxing hadn't understood how deep his routine was, he would have believed it.

The reason why he played the patriotic card was that Jack Ma found out that Xia Jingxing had not yet been naturalized in the United States, and he was proud of being Chinese in his words, and his speech even pissed off the young man who spoke both Chinese and English...

Ma Yun found that there was not much he could do to please Xia Jingxing. The other party wanted money and a wife, and he wanted everything.

In other words, he found that there was not much value he could contribute to the other party!

In addition to planning to slowly develop a relationship with Xia Jingxing in the future and provide some emotional value, Ma Yun also decided to test Xia Jingxing with the patriotic card.

Apart from this card, he has no better cards to play for the time being.

Xia Jing acted in An Mayun's heart, and said sternly: "Don't worry, if you don't endanger the interests of shareholders and manage Ari well, I will definitely support you to the end!"

"Okay, a man promises a thousand gold, and I, Ma Yun, will definitely be rewarded in the future!"

Jack Ma showed the basic gestures again, and saluted Xia Jingxing with his hands clasped together.

Xia Jingxing nodded, took his leave and left.
