215. Upstart Heroes

New Year's Day, the capital.

Bao Bufan called an investor. The matter was naturally related to money, but this was an unnecessary link.

What I did was just to give investors a certain rebate from the commission paid by Mengguyun.

Of course, this rebate is about going public and private. After all, it is nothing more than between power and money.

What is power? This term may not be called by the government.

In this case, Mengguyun raised a total of US$150 million. According to the initial agreed commission ratio of 4%, Huaxing earned up to US$6 million in commissions in this transaction.

For Bao Bufan, what he did was just building a bridge, and it was naturally reasonable to charge these tolls. In order to facilitate the transaction, and to reach a private transaction with one of the parties, it would be just to allow the people on both sides of the bridge to meet successfully.

On the left side of Qiao is an entrepreneur, on the right side of Qiao is an investor. One end has products, technology, market, and the other end has capital and connections.

Occasionally, there are entrepreneurs who are young, "Why does a certain project cost so much?"

There are also more confused investors, "Why is this project so expensive?"

In this case, Bao Bufan's role will come out. As long as he has a certain initial intention, most of these things can be communicated.

In essence, what the bridge does is just a exchange of resources.

There are also some complicated situations, such as after Lu Zhou rejected Penguin's offer, Penguin Liu Zhiping even called him to increase his bargaining chips.

In the meantime, the resources Penguin takes out are traffic channels.

If you say this, the blind man could probably see that Penguin was obviously determined to participate in Mengguyun's financing. He even took out important traffic channels to "gamble". The purpose was nothing more than the WeChat message later.

Of course, capital is ruthless. Judging from his experience, it is difficult to bridge most of the torn holes. This bet is not as expensive as expected for Penguins.

As for Bao Bufan, this "bridge" itself is just a bargaining chip.

For example, if the road boat is 1% less, the investors will return 1%. If both sides can succeed, the business will be a case of only 3% from beginning to end.

And if the conflict changes from 5% to 3%, then he will really be unable to do the Huaxing business.

After all, it’s not very good to mention the current year. After the financial crisis in 2008, Huaxing really didn’t make a big score in 2009.

In 2010, he took over the car rental in China and Aiqiyi. In the end, he also "did not pick up a bargain" and made Meng Guyun, which also made him look forward to 2011.

Although there are some "collusion" things, Bao Bufan has always focused on helping emerging companies leverage the power of capital since the beginning.

Openness, collaboration, and resource sharing are the inspiration brought to him by Lu Zhou Creation Dream. Perhaps the purpose of these "resources" will gradually change from the original "value discovery" to "value creation".

Capital no longer simply uses the pictographic meaning of "money", but participates more in the transformation and integration of the entire industry.

"I don't know who should be inspired by this Ma." Bao Bufan shook his head and thought.

Afterwards, he no longer thought about it. This young man gave him such an opportunity.

Bao Bufan put his legs on his desk and flipped through Meng Guyun's information. Although Meng Guyun's B round was initially completed, according to Lu Zhou's next arrangement, Huaxing still needs to participate in the Meng Guyun's acquisition of Huiteng case.

He continued to read the financial statements and according to Mengguyun's round B financing agreement, Mengguyun transferred 1 to 10% of the original A-round design equity structure, with a total of 1 billion shares issued.

Among them, Luzhou held 450 million shares, Song Wenhui was 135 million, while Fang Qiang, Wen Xuwei and Huiteng each held about 90 million. The lead investor of the A round of investment was only 53.3 million shares.

In the next round of new capital increase, the price of a single stock will be $0.85 after the four parties agreed.

For example, the leading investor Index Capital will inject approximately US$100 million into Mengguyun, and Mengguyun will issue 117.64 million new shares to Index Capital. The other two companies will also allocate new shares at the same price.

The dust has been settled in the B round, and Bao Bufan will no longer look at it. What he needs to pay attention to is what impact the participation of Phaeton in the A round will have on the next merger and acquisition.

From a brief look, Lu Zhou introduced Song Wenhui's operation in front of the A wheel, which was a loss to his grandma's house.

During this operation, Lu Zhou obtained 20% of Huiteng's shares, while Song Wenhui was 15% of Mengguyun's shares. According to the A-round financing carried out by Mengguyun in September 2010, Song Wenhui's personal valuation of Mengguyun's shares has reached US$20.25 million.

If we calculate this, Bao Bufan almost believed that, considering Lu Zhou at that time, the 20% stake in Phaeton would have to be equal to this value, and Phaeton's valuation would have to be around US$100 million.

But this is the situation of the A round. You should know that just yesterday, the price of Mengguyun's new single share was US$0.85 per share, and the valuation of the shares held by Song Wenhui at this time was as high as 110 million!

Can there be any changes in the valuation of Phaeton? In Bao Bufan's opinion, this may not be necessary. So, at a brief look, Luzhou's cross-holding operation only lasted for three months, and it had a "huge loss" of nearly $100 million. And the one who benefited was naturally Song Wenhui.

Can Lu Zhou be a fool? At least after the past month of contact, Bao Bufan felt that Lu Zhou could be regarded as the term "new hero".

Of course, if you assume this, there will inevitably be some additional factors in the transaction, and this point is worth much more than 100 million US dollars in Luzhou's opinion.

Afterwards, Bao Bufan opened up some of the situations after the A-round financing of Mengguyun.

When he saw this, he said in his heart, indeed.

Since the A round, Mengguyun has successively received a batch of server equipment from Phaeton, and this income is recorded as part of Phaeton's A round of investment.

Bao Bufan took his feet off his desk and rechecked them.

After confirming, he said to himself, "So, this batch of equipment is first ready-made and this is used as a round of investment in Mengguyun. Luzhou's conditions are cross-holding."

"Start a quick round B in three months. Well...it seems like this is an impatient employer."

A smile appeared on Bao Bufan's face and he touched his bright bald head with both hands.

He understood. The resources exchanged for Luzhou is the thrust that promotes the rapid progress of Mengguyun's B round. If he cannot take over the batch of Phaeton machines, he will still increase his bargaining chips to save time and cost. The purpose is to accelerate the pace of mergers with Phaeton, open up the upstream and downstream, and quickly expand the market.

"So, the next question is how to collect and how to reorganize."

But as soon as he thought about this, Bao Bufan slapped his forehead and suddenly thought of Lu Zhou's cross-holdings that had lost to his grandma's family. Lu Zhou is now the director of Huiteng!

And what is the key point? Song Wenhui, the major shareholder of Huiteng, saw Meng Guyun's speed. It was at this time that Song Wenhui really "submitted" and was reasonable. Bao Bufan really couldn't think of any obstacle that could arise.

With a flash of inspiration, Bao Bufan took out the resume information of Meng Guyun's management again, and according to this comparison, he had to sigh, "I'm afraid this is not planned. It seems that this order is not much money."

After shaking his head, he was about to call Luzhou. Who doesn’t want to get on the express train? So what if he gives some profit?

What Bao Bufan did not expect was that this decision would have had a profound impact on the future Huaxing.
