Wednesday, January 11th.
In the conference room of Yuanmeng Venture Capital, investors were drinking tea while waiting for Mr. Pei’s arrival.
Many of these investors came from the imperial capital. I don’t know whether it was because of the long journey or other reasons, but their expressions were not very good.
Li Shi tried his best to stir up the atmosphere, but the investors still looked at Meng Chang and wanted to eat him alive.
As for Meng Chang, he had an "it doesn't matter" expression on his face.
He seemed to have been completely burned out. Although he was here, his mind and soul had drifted to nowhere.
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit stiff.
Although investors occasionally chatted and exchanged pleasantries out of politeness, everyone's faces were gloomy and it could be seen that they were in a bad mood.
This is a reasonable thing. My money has disappeared. How can I feel better?
Ordinary people will feel pain for several months if they lose several thousand yuan when buying stocks, and they will hang themselves if they lose hundreds of thousands. However, the money lost by these investors can be calculated in millions.
Although investment is risky, and these investors know it well, who would have thought that Meng Chang, such a reliable entrepreneur with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would mess things up?
Meng Chang's cold-faced girl received at least more than 20 million in investment, and after a lot of speculation, the valuation was raised to nearly 300 million. In the end, Meng Chang completely defeated her.
Investors have nothing left in their hands except the cold-faced girl’s shares.
But now that the cold-faced girl has been exposed to various negative news, Meng Chang has become the person subject to execution, and no one will take over this mess again. These shares are already worthless.
How can these investors not be angry?
Of course, this is a business rule. No matter how angry investors are, they can't do anything to Meng Chang. What's more, even if they do something to Meng Chang, they can't squeeze out money.
As for Meng Chang, he was already lying down.
Although he does not need to be responsible for the investors' money, the investment agreement signed with Mr. Li states that he will be responsible for the cold-faced girl's debts. Now he owes several million to the supplier. This The money will be charged to his personal debt.
When there was a problem with the capital chain, Meng Chang also tried every means to find investment in order to save the fate of the cold-faced girl. However, Mr. Pei sold his shares twice and the cold-faced girl exploded. A series of negative news and other incidents have seriously affected investors' confidence in the cold-faced girl.
The conditions for investors are very strict: if you don’t sign an unlimited joint liability agreement, you won’t get a penny.
Meng Chang is in a dilemma, but he must not take such hot money, because he knows very well that if he does not take the money, he will only be in debt for millions. If he takes it, he will probably be in debt. Several hundred million.
As a result, the longer the delay, the more debt will increase until it reaches the topThe news broke out after a while.
After becoming the person subject to execution, Meng Chang knew very well that the Cold Noodle Girl brand was over. Now even if Daluo Jinxian reincarnates, he will definitely not be able to save him.
In this case, just pretend to be dead. A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. Anyway, this debt will be paid off slowly, and other investors can do whatever they like.
So the cold-faced girl has actually become a dead end.
As for Li Shi, besides He Desheng, he was the person with the best attitude at the scene.
Li Shi also invested a sum of money, but he invested money for completely different reasons and motivations from other investors.
Li Shi did panic when he heard that the cold-faced girl was going to be cold, but Mr. Pei expressed his willingness to come forward, which ignited Li Shi's endless confidence.
As long as Mr. Pei does not completely give up on a project, it cannot be said to be a complete failure!
The scene remained in such a contradictory and subtle atmosphere, waiting for Mr. Pei's arrival.
Finally, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
The door of the conference room opened. Outside, He Desheng said respectfully to a young man: "Mr. Pei, everyone is here."
Everyone in the conference room He stood up immediately and looked at Mr. Pei like a drowning man seeing the last straw.
There are also some investors who have some special guesses about the time when Mr. Pei will appear.
The investors had already arrived in the morning. Why did Mr. Pei specifically set the time in the afternoon? Is there any special meaning here?
After all, there are too many stories and mysteries about Mr. Pei. Many things that are ordinary and reasonable to others have a special meaning to Mr. Pei.
Pei Qian waved to everyone: "Hello everyone! Please take a seat."
The high-spirited Mr. Pei brought vitality to the previously lifeless conference room.
The investors couldn’t help but secretly wonder, what happy event has Mr. Pei encountered to make him so happy?
According to rumors, Mr. Pei has always been a person who keeps his emotions secret. Even when he made hundreds of millions with Dayak Group, he did not show much happiness.
My face is full of joy today. Is it possible that I have made more than 500 million in a certain industry?
The momentum of these investors has been reduced invisibly.
Pei Qian only had one thought in his mind: The exam is finally over!
This morning’s last closed-book exam, although my answers were not perfect and I still missed a few knowledge points during the review, I at least got the answers right, so I definitely got a passing grade. Whether it is 65 or 70 depends on God's will.
After studying hard for so long, I am finally relieved. Can I be unhappy?
Unconsciously, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, which was noticed by everyone.
Pei Qian didn’t care either.Anyway, today he just wants to understand the situation and buy some junk assets according to the situation so that he can lose money better in the future. It doesn't matter what these investors think.
Pei Qian sat down at the top seat, with Li Shi and He Desheng on the left and right, and other investors on both sides of the conference table. Meng Chang sat alone opposite President Pei. It's a bit like interrogating a prisoner.
Li Shi said: "Mr. Pei, let me briefly talk about the current situation of the cold-faced girl."
Listening to Li Shi's story, Pei Qian probably figured it out.
In short, the cold noodle girl ran out of money, could not get more financing, and the money earned by the store was far from enough to support normal operations, so the valuation collapsed, and investors lost all their shares. Worth it.
There is no lie in these words, and no one dares to lie to Mr. Pei. After all, He Desheng can verify this information with just a little verification.
Fake things in front of Mr. Pei will only have the opposite effect, but being open and honest can leave a good impression on Mr. Pei.
Everyone is waiting for Mr. Pei to speak.
The current situation of the cold-faced girl seems to be a dead end in everyone's eyes. It has been determined that the bottom line is lost. Who will continue to throw money into it? Mr. Pei has already made millions through the cold-faced girl and escaped safely, and there is no reason to return to this quagmire.
However, Pei Qian’s first words made everyone’s jaws drop.
"How many shares of the cold-faced girl do you have in your hands? I want them all."
The investors looked at each other, happiness came too suddenly, and they were not mentally prepared for the moment. .
Even Meng Chang’s blank eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope.
When it comes to shares, obviously the founder, Meng Chang, holds the most shares, but it is useless no matter how many shares no one wants. According to common sense, investors have the first right to sell their shares, and it is not his turn as the founder. But judging from what Mr. Pei means, it seems that he wants all the shares?
If that's the case, you can sell some of the shares in your hands and get some blood back.
Of course, if you sell shares at this time, it is definitely impossible to sell them at the previous valuation. They will probably be sold at a lower price than cabbage.
But sell it if you can, and at least pay off part of the debt first.
Now Meng Chang no longer fantasizes about financial freedom. He just wants to reduce his debt.
An investor raised his hand and asked tentatively: "Mr. Pei, at what price do you plan to acquire the shares?"
Pei Qian looked at He Desheng.
He Desheng whispered in Pei Qian's ear: "Mr. Pei, the founder Meng Chang still holds at least 40% of the shares, and Mr. Li holds less than 30%. The cold-faced girl is now this In this situation, everyone’s psychological price is very low. A token of three to five million should be enough.”
Pei Qian was slightly surprised: “Mr. Li has so much?”
He Desheng nodded: "Well, Mr. Li recently acquired a small part of the shares at a low price, and the price is also very low."
Pei Qian looked at Li Shi, and Li Shi replied A smile.
Pei Qian was speechless, having a hunch that Li Shi would probably not sell his shares.
But that doesn’t matter. Anyway, Mr. Li only holds less than 30% of the shares and has no influence at all on the cold-faced girl’s control. What's more, Pei Qian doesn't think that the cold-faced girl can make money in his own hands. The reputation of this brand is completely ruined.
Pei Qian looked around at the crowd and said: "3 million to buy all the shares of the cold noodle girl, but the premise is that I must be able to buy more than 70% of the shares at one time, otherwise I will not buy it."
He didn't waste any more words and directly quoted the lowest price according to the figure given by He Desheng.
According to He Desheng's view, there is basically no need to save the company Lengmian Girl, so letting it go bankrupt is the most rational choice. But since Mr. Pei wants to buy it, He Desheng, a subordinate, still needs to estimate a suitable price.
Compared to the peak valuation of Cold Noodle Girl, 3 million is certainly not even a cabbage price. Each of these investors can only get a few hundred thousand at most. Compared with the previous investment It has shrunk by almost ten times.
But hundreds of thousands is better than nothing. If they don’t sell, they will never find another buyer, and even hundreds of thousands will be gone.
Of course, if it were any lower, it would be a bit insulting. These investors would probably stop selling when they get angry, which would be unsightly.
After Mr. Pei gave the price, these investors looked at each other.
I am definitely dissatisfied with this number, but there is nothing I can do about it. Most people know that getting hundreds of thousands is already pretty good.
Mr. Pei's opening directly put them at a lower psychological price point, which made them feel uncomfortable.
There was a glimmer of hope in Meng Chang's eyes: "Mr. Pei, do you also want my shares?"
Pei Qian nodded: "Of course, at this price, come No one refuses. But Cold Noodle Girl is the company you founded after all. Are you sure you want to sell it?”
It’s all at a cabbage price, no matter where you buy it from.
Meng Chang nodded immediately: "Sell!"
He is now carrying several million in debt, although according to Mr. Pei's bid, his shares can only be sold for more than one million. It’s not enough to repay these debts, but it’s a little bit that can be repaid.
I originally thought that selling these shares would be enough to achieve financial freedom, but now I have only paid off a debt of one million yuan. Meng Chang has mixed feelings in his heart.
Ideals are beautiful, but reality teaches life.
The other investors have nothing to say. Looking at Meng Chang’s attitude, the cold-faced girl is definitely hopeless. These shares are a waste in her hands.
Moreover, Mr. Pei has made it clear that unless he can buy more than 70% of the shares, he will not buy them at all. This also makes investorsThere is no thought of bargaining at all.
Forget it, just run if you can.
The investors exchanged looks for a few times, and finally accepted it.
Li Shi sold a small part symbolically and kept about 20% in his own hand, while Meng Chang sold all the shares to pay off at least part of the debt first.
It is impossible for a person like Meng Chang to be willing to be a deadbeat. He still looks forward to the day when he can pay off all his debts and make a comeback.
