Lin Feng was just about to praise the other party for being in charge of a listed company at such a young age.
But then I thought, I’m only twenty years old, and it’s not appropriate to be praised like this.
At the same time, the company was about to go bankrupt, so he couldn't praise the other party from the perspective of running the company.
As a result, Lin Feng ended up saying nothing.
"Please take a seat. Mr. Shen also mentioned this to me on the phone, but he said that if there is anything, he still needs to communicate with you in person!"
Xiao Xue's attitude was very friendly, and Lin Feng also heard some hidden meanings between the lines.
It was obvious that the other party regarded himself as a life-saving straw.
After all, although it is extremely difficult to go public these days, the overall market environment is not very good. In addition, the prices charged by shell companies are getting higher and higher, which leads to a very strange phenomenon.
Companies with strong strength and background do not bother to buy shells. They can go public successfully in less than a year by following normal procedures.
Companies without strength and background are reluctant to spend billions to go public through backdoor listing.
In addition, the A-share market has extremely strict review procedures for backdoor listings.
If the company fails to pass the approval for backdoor listing after acquiring the shell company, it would be equivalent to spending tens of billions of yuan to buy a "listed company" that is useless.
So Xiao Xue naturally wanted to seize this opportunity to make a fortune, so that she could not only get rid of this burden but also get a large sum of money.
"We are all young people, I think there is no need to drag things out, let's get straight to the point.
Before coming here, I also read the relevant information of your company, and also went to the relevant departments to investigate some basic information that you have disclosed to the public.
According to the data, your company's current debt ratio has reached 2.5 billion.
At the same time, you have actually stopped production for half a year, is this information correct?"
Lin Feng went straight to the point.
Hearing this, Xiao Xue's face instantly showed a hint of embarrassment, but she still smiled and replied: "It's about the same. After all, there are still some errors in a lot of information, but it's roughly like this!"
"Okay, since you've admitted it, let's talk about the price. You quoted our company 5 billion yuan before, but based on all the previous cases of A-share backdoor listings, no shell company has ever been able to sell for such a high price.
Previously, the highest amount of money spent on buying a shell company was not even 4 billion yuan, but only 3.8 billion yuan.
In this case, I think your offer of 5 billion is too expensive!"
Hearing this, Xiao Xue replied calmly: "You can't say that, Director Lin, the 3.8 billion transaction happened last year.
It has been a full year since then, and during this year, there are only dozens of companies listed on the A-share market in China. This shows that the current regulatory authorities are becoming more and more stringent in their supervision of company listings.
Therefore, if you want to go public through the normal process, there must not be any false information.
According to my understanding of your company, not only has it been established for less than two years, but it may have been in a loss-making phase since its establishment.
In this case, it is obviously unlikely that you will be able to go public through legal procedures in the short term.
So these 5 billion can shorten your company's time to go public by at least 3 years. Do you think it's a good deal?"
After listening to this, Lin Feng also understood that Xiao Xue was obviously not a good person.
Although Longteng Technology is not a listed company, it has never disclosed any financial reports to the public.
However, most Internet technology companies are burning money in the first few years of their establishment and it is impossible for them to make money quickly.
This gave Xiao Xue the confidence to ask for a high price from him.
"That being said, 5 billion is not a small amount!"
“It may not be a small amount for other companies, but it is just a drop in the bucket for Longteng Technology.
If you really need money, you can raise funds in the market.
I believe there are a lot of investors who will be very interested in your business!"
Xiao Xue was worthy of being in charge of a listed company, and she pointed out the crux of the problem on the spot.
The financing she was talking about is the most important way to raise funds for a fast-growing Internet company.
Generally speaking, a company will burn a lot of money in the early stages, and if the founder is really short of money, he will mortgage or sell part of his equity in the financing market in exchange for the corresponding funds.
For a company like Longteng Technology, whose market value is almost breaking one trillion yuan, it only needs to sell 1% of the company's shares to obtain more than 10 billion yuan in cash.
Therefore, these 5 billion yuan is obviously not a big deal for Longteng Technology.
In addition, Longteng Technology has never conducted any external financing activities, which made Xiao Xue more firmly believe that Longteng Technology is not short of money at all and will definitely take out the 5 billion yuan.
Seeing that Xiao Xue's explanation was clear and logical, Lin Feng stopped beating around the bush.
“To be honest, I can afford the money, but the problem is that I don’t want to be taken advantage of.
Because I think in the current negotiation process between the two companies, we are in a favorable position, don’t you think? "
Xiao Xue did not expect Lin Feng to have such a reaction. She was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and continued, "Director Lin, there are many people who are interested in our company, including some Internet companies, and even mobile phone companies are in preliminary communication with us.
So I won’t budge on the price!”
"Okay, stop fooling me. In China, no mobile phone company would spend 5 billion to go public through a backdoor listing.
As for whether companies in other fields would like to go public through a backdoor listing, I am not sure, but they definitely did not offer excessively high prices.
Otherwise you wouldn't have been waiting to meet me, right?"
Lin Feng is not a fool, he doesn't believe what Xiao Xue said at all.
"If you, Director Lin, think that 5 billion is too high, then I can at most give up 200 million. 4.8 billion compared to last year's 3.8 billion, a premium of 1 billion in one year, isn't that too much?"
Xiao Xue also knew that it was obviously impossible to make a deal for 5 billion, so she settled for the next best thing and directly reduced the price by 200 million.
"How about this? I don't like to waste words. Let's set a price and make it 4 billion. What do you think?"
