Chapter 161 Let’s share a table
An Rushong naturally also noticed Jin Mingxin who was sitting alone at a table. In fact, he had already noticed him when he was at the door just now.
I have to admit that Ms. Jin, who had plastic surgery, is still quite good-looking, especially now that she is in her thirties and has a mature charm. She sits there quietly, with her hands clasped between her legs. Her quiet look is still quite attractive.
None of the four people present here today is impatient, not to mention that investment and financing are not things that can be rushed. Therefore, today's dinner is just An Rushong inviting everyone to a meal, which is very simple. While eating, no one will talk about the topic of investment and financing.
There are no negotiations scheduled not only this afternoon but also this afternoon. According to the plan, the second negotiation will be held tomorrow morning. The two parties in the negotiation will be An Rusong representing NGN and John Fisher representing Draper Fisher Jurvetson.
In fact, on the issue of financing intentions, Macaulay, as the matchmaker between the two parties, had already revealed DFJ's initial investment intentions to An Rusong.
Slightly different from An Rusong's previous estimate, DFJ's valuation of NGN was US$2.5 million. Therefore, DFJ offered two conditions: the first was that DFJ would inject US$5000 million into NGN in exchange for 7500% of NGN's shares; the second was more radical, in which DFJ would inject US$ million in exchange for % of NGN's shares.
As for the "same shares, different voting rights" requirement previously proposed by An Rushong, DeFeng Jie can accept it in principle, but as the actual operator of NGN thereafter, An Rushong must also pay a certain price for it.
These are all natural and An Rushong can naturally accept them. As mentioned before, he does not really value the profits and wealth that NGN brings him. What he really needs is the influence that controlling this company can bring.
As for the two investment methods proposed by DFJ, An Rusong would naturally choose the first one. NGN is still in its infancy and the company's valuation is relatively low. At least compared with its great prospects, the current valuation is not worth mentioning. Therefore, as the founder of the company and the largest shareholder, what An Rusong really needs to do now is not to use the company's shares to exchange for more investment, but to limit the investment to a moderate range.
The only principle is: as long as there is enough capital, as long as the equity is retained as much as possible.
As for after this investment is used up, the problem is not difficult to solve. At worst, we can just raise a second round of funds. By that time, 5000% of the equity will not be something that can be obtained with million US dollars. It may have to be doubled or something.
An Rushong was having dinner with the three Americans, and he would glance at Jin Mingxin from time to time. He was looking for an opportunity to get acquainted with that woman. Wen Caiyuan could create an opportunity for the two to get acquainted, but it was not easy for him to introduce them directly. Therefore, on an occasion like today, An Rushong had to find a way to create an "accident" so that the two could get acquainted in a reasonable way.
Fortunately, he finally found such an opportunity when the meal was about to end.
Just when the three foreigners finished their dessert and were discussing whether to go back to the hotel to rest or walk around Seoul, An Rushong saw Jin Mingxin stand up from his chair and walk towards the bathroom. It was obvious that this was a great opportunity for him.
Don't think that An Rushong is planning to have a chance encounter in the bathroom. That idea is too low-level and the traces are too obvious. He has his own plans.
He saw two foreigners, a man and a woman, standing up from their seats diagonally opposite him, as if they were about to leave. He made an excuse to go to the restroom, stood up from his seat, and walked straight towards the restroom.
His booth was by the window, diagonally opposite to Kim Myung-shin's booth, which was right on his way to the bathroom.
After standing up, An Rushong adjusted his pace. He saw the foreign couple left their seats and walked towards the door while talking and laughing, so he immediately quickened his pace. When he was about to reach Jin Mingxin's booth, the foreign couple also happened to walk close to him.
An Rushong quickly glanced at the placement of the cups and plates on Jin Mingxin's booth, then glanced at her scarf placed inside the booth. Then, he deliberately turned his head and, at the same time, bumped hard at the foreigner who was walking next to him.
The force he used in this collision was not very great, and the moment he hit the foreigner, he quickly adjusted his posture and deliberately hit Jin Mingxin's seat. It looked like he hit the foreigner, but because the foreigner was big and strong, he bounced him away.
The moment they bumped into the booth, An Rushong aimed at the right spot and pushed with his right hand, knocking Jin Mingxin, who had drunk half a cup of coffee, sideways, and the coffee inside spilled directly onto her scarf.
Seeing the coffee spilled all over the table and stained Jin Mingxin's scarf, An Rushong secretly exclaimed in his heart that it was perfect.
"Hey! Man, what's wrong with you?!" The foreigner who was bumped into was obviously confused about the situation. He turned his head to look at An Rushong who had just stood up, spread his hands and shouted.
Having achieved his goal, An Rusong was in a very good mood. He hurriedly apologized to the foreigner, took all the responsibility on himself, and asked the waiter who came over to clean up the table for Jin Mingxin, and clearly told the waiter that he would pay for this table. "What's the matter, An?" He was communicating with the waiter, and Macaulay, who noticed something unusual, also came over.
"Oh, there was a little accident," An Rusong said with an embarrassed expression and spread his hands, "I'm afraid I'll have to spend some time to deal with it."
As he said this, he pointed to the stained scarf on the table. It was a Prada double-layer hooded scarf. After being trained by Min Hyun-soo, An Rusong had acquired some basic ability to distinguish luxury goods. Although he could not tell whether the towel was real or fake, he knew that the price of such a towel was about 250 million won.
Macaulay also saw the mess on the table, but in his opinion, it was not a big deal, so he patted An Rusong on the shoulder and said, "John and the others want to go back to the hotel to rest, so I will take them back first. If there is anything, please contact me."
Now, he and An Rusong are familiar with each other. If nothing goes wrong in this negotiation, they will be partners in the future. Therefore, when they are together, Macaulay tries to be as casual as possible.
"Say sorry to John for me," An Rushong said, raising his fist towards the other party.
"OK," Macaulay bumped fists with him, then turned and left. After walking a few steps, he turned back and said, "If you can't settle it, you can contact me. I know a very good lawyer."
As he spoke, he winked at An Rushong. It was obvious that he also knew that the guest in this booth was a very charming woman.
An Rushong ignored this guy because Jin Mingxin had already returned. A waiter came to greet her in advance, probably ready to explain to her what happened here.
An Rusong did not rush over. He waited there until the waiter came over with Jin Mingxin. Then he stepped forward with an apologetic smile and said, "I am very sorry that my negligence has caused you trouble. However, Miss, don't worry, I am willing to compensate you for any loss."
As he said this, he looked at the waiter who followed him and said, "I have already told the waiter, please give me your bill, and also your scarf."
This scarf must be real, because when Jin Mingxin saw the coffee spilled on the scarf, her face immediately showed a painful expression. However, she still had strong self-control and did not get angry on the spot.
"Miss, this Prada scarf really suits you," An Rusong saw the other person's expression and said sincerely, "If you don't mind, I hope to compensate you with a similar one. I just don't know if there is the same one in the Prada store in Lotte World."
Hearing him say that, the painful expression on Jin Mingxin's face instantly disappeared. She glanced at An Rusong, hesitated for a moment, and said, "But I haven't finished my lunch yet."
Hearing her say this, An Rushong understood what she meant. It was obvious that she was willing to accept the corresponding compensation, but she just didn't want to say it so directly.
"Ah, that's perfect," An Rusong said, "I was having dinner with some business partners just now. You know, the atmosphere was very reserved, so I didn't eat well. If the lady doesn't mind, we can share a table."
After saying this, he pointed to the booth he had reserved.
Looking in the direction of his finger, Jin Mingxin hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
When she entered the restaurant before, she had a very good impression of An Rushong. He is handsome, so the first impression he gives is naturally good. If this scene had been replaced by an ugly man with a big belly and pimples all over his face, Jin Mingxin would have lost her temper a long time ago.
Seeing that she agreed, An Rushong immediately asked the waiter to make arrangements. The food that he, Macaulay and others had eaten before had to be taken away. As for the food ordered by Jin Mingxin, there was no need to bring it to the booth over there. All the food was replaced with new ones, and the ladies were invited to order.
The two secrets of a bad man to pick up girls are romance and waste. If you don't waste, how can you prove that you are capable? How can you prove that you are willing to spend money on girls?
Sure enough, after sitting down at the booth by the window, when An Rushong presented the menu and invited Jin Mingxin to order again, although the woman was still reserved, the smile at the corner of her eyes could hardly be concealed.
An Rushong naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot. He enthusiastically introduced the more famous dishes here to the other party, acting as if he was very familiar with the place. In fact, all these he introduced were what he had just heard from Macaulay. He was just learning and applying them on the spot.
