Start by trimming cow hooves

Suri thought.

If US$60 million in financing is really provided this time, it should be able to sustain Dongjing Mall for a year or two.

During this period.

Whether it’s shares in Facebook or Netflix Entertainment, or the stocks held by my biological father, their value will skyrocket in time, and I won’t have to worry about money anymore.

So Su Rui was rich and generous and answered Liu Dong:

"At least 100 million U.S. dollars. If the performance is good enough, 200 million to 300 million U.S. dollars will not be a big problem. If you agree to exchange the loan for stocks when the time is right, I will also be willing to accept it. These can be discussed slowly and the details will be discussed. The terms are written into the financing agreement, so there’s no need to worry about me changing my mind.”

Seeing that Liu Dong’s focus is obviously not on the valuation of “60 million US dollars”.

Suri had already guessed that the price offered was quite appropriate, and at least the other party would be willing to accept it. Otherwise, the valuation amount should be discussed first.

Not requiring decision-making power, but also being willing to provide a large low-interest loan, this was the strategy discussed by Su Rui and the family office consultants, which completely solved Liu Dong's worries.

Liu Dong was afraid of being cheated, so he said at this moment:

"The trouble that Dongjing Mall should be most concerned about now is how to survive. Give me some time to think about it. If there are no problems with some details, I and other people in the company will most likely accept it. The company has other shareholders, and I want to Ask their opinions first.”

Su Rui said calmly:

"Don't worry, my offer will be valid for two months. You can look for other venture capital companies."

Liu Dong laughed dumbly and replied:

"Haven't you had enough rejections? Horses with a thousand li a day are always there, but Bole is not always there. I also think it is difficult to find a better offer than this one. To be honest, in the past three months, I have never been as relaxed as I am now. However, it shows that the efforts have not been in vain, and I also thank you and your father for their discerning eyes. If we can cooperate in the end, I will definitely not let you down."

Su Rui blinked and said with a bright smile:

"I'm a good judge of people. I should have more confidence in you than you have in yourself..."

Liu Dong didn't think much about it.

There is no love without reason in the world, and there is no hate without reason.

He only thought that Su Rui regarded Dongjing Mall as the "Chinese version of Amazon Mall" and felt that their company had potential, so he thought highly of himself.

Just a few months ago, a foreign valuation agency offered a valuation of about US$100 million for Dongjing Mall. After the financial tsunami caused by U.S. subprime mortgages swept the world, the value of many assets shrank significantly.

Coupled with the rumors that Dongjing Mall is in arrears with suppliers and that its books are about to bottom out, these are all affecting its value.

At this moment, Liu Dong really felt that the valuation of US$60 million offered by Su Rui was generous enough.

In fact, even if the financing is based on a valuation of US$50 million, he feels that he cannot refuse it. However, if the price is too low and he wants to take half of the equity, Liu Dong would rather go outside and get rejected.

At that time, unless they are desperate, they will probably bite the bullet and accept Suri's conditions.

But now, Su Rui has secured a package of US$60 million in financing, giving up voting rights, and at least US$100 million in low-interest loans. Liu Dong is elated, and after much thought, he can't find a reason to refuse.

In particular, the promised low-interest loan of at least US$100 million is equivalent to completing part of the Series B financing ahead of schedule, which instantly increases the possibility of Dongjing Mall surviving smoothly.

There are many Internet companies that have survived angel rounds and Series A financing. Being able to reach Series B financing is almost equivalent to being able to occupy a place on the stock exchange.

With Su Rui's promise and the ability to survive the current difficulties, Liu Dong felt that even if he released half of the equity, it would not be so difficult to accept.

After all, only by letting the company survive first can we have the opportunity to consider issues of gain and loss...

…

Keep swinging and hitting the ball.

The green lawns of the golf course stretch to the edge of the cliff.

The weather is nice today. The sun is shining on the sea, the water is sparkling, and the wind is very comfortable on your body. You can find a camera and take a photo, and you can use it as a computer screen wallpaper.

It does not require strenuous exercise and can be walked on the grass with a pleasant environment. It is no wonder that golf is so popular among wealthy people.

As for tennis and football, you can't talk business with others while being out of breath.

Despite Suri's poor skills, he was quite elegant when playing. Wearing a POLO shirt, he swung again and hit five strokes from a distance of 20 to 30 meters before he hit the ball into the second hole.

Liu Dong wasn't much better, he almost threw the club away.

There's nothing wrong with novices pecking each other.

After playing the second hole, Liu Dong looked at the surrounding environment and couldn't help but sigh:

"We are just living. This kind of life can be called enjoyment. It seems that there is nothing to worry about. With such a big island, you can feel comfortable every day."

Suri's happiness was obvious at a glance. After hearing this, she didn't moan unnecessarily and only replied:

"When you survive the most difficult initial period of starting a business, your achievements will make countless people look up and marvel at you. Life is short and time passes by. As long as you have almost what you want, there is no need to put too much pressure on yourself as long as you have the ability to accomplish great things."

Just when Liu Dong thought about it carefully, he realized that he was middle-aged and had not yet seen Su Rui.

Suri changed the subject and added again:

"Everyone is good at something, and what I am best at happens to be making money. Even if I start a business myself, the situation may not be better than it is now. How can I be comfortable as an investor who contributes money but does not contribute. The so-called quiet years are good, but There are a group of smart business people who are carrying the burden for me. If we can cooperate, Brother Dong, please remember to work hard. After making the company bigger and stronger, I will enjoy it even more."

Liu Dong's mouth twitched.

Although the truth is correct, these words inevitably sound a bit unworthy of beating.

For the first time in his life, Liu Dong suddenly realized that his current achievements seemed to be nothing at all.

Only people like Suri who make money by making money and enjoy life while making money every day can truly stand at the top of human society and achieve spiritual freedom, financial freedom and time freedom.

As a businessman, Liu Dong often faces situations where he has no choice but to run out of time and money.

For example, at this moment, he smiled and said to Suri:

"If I become a partner, you don't need to tell me that I will do it seriously. Diabao.com is the largest e-commerce platform in the mainland, so I will be the largest online retailer. Judging from the successful experience of Amazon Mall in the United States, it is feasible. The reliability is very high, and transportation speed, after-sales service, and quality control will all be our advantages.”

Take the golf cart to the third hole.

Suri changed the subject and said:

"When I have time, I plan to travel to the mainland and find other investment targets. Judging from the general trend, the strength of the United States is continuing to decline, while the strength of the mainland continues to rise. It has been eliminated by the United States from the second place in the world. This time I bet the country can win.”

Liu Dong said with emotion:

"Fortunately, my family was poor and we had no money to go abroad at that time. A schoolmate sold his house next to the Forbidden City. It is said that after going to San Francisco, he can only work as a security guard, guarding the parking lot and helping people collect fees..."
