Chapter 544: Imperial Group’s huge financing for Pingguo Company! shock
When the sixteen mezzanine financing investors of Pingguo Company learned that Sir Yang, the chairman of Imperial Group, wanted to finance Pingguo Company and buy it at US$20 per share, they had no way to refuse.
Even if he does not sell his shares completely, he will sell part of them to the Imperial Group.
It is still some time before the company can be listed by the end of the year. Moreover, after listing, it does not mean that the stock price will continue to rise.
If the original shareholders want to sell, there is also a time limit.
In other words, they are very interested in the financing price offered by Imperial Group.
1980 3 Month 19 Day.
Wednesday.
8:00am.
Jobs, Woz, and Markkula came to Connor Manor to meet Sir Yang.
"Mr. Yang, there are three people coming outside, two of them are Mr. Jobs and Mr. Woz."
Three people came outside?
Yang Ming came out of the study.
See Jobs, Woz, and Markkula.
Historically, Jobs was betrayed by Markkula, which led to Jobs being kicked out of his Pingguo company until he came back in 1997.
It's not clear that Markkula has any problem with Jobs.
In other words, people change.
Especially when faced with interest issues.
In Yang Ming's view, if Pingguo Company did not have Jobs, it would be equivalent to having no soul. Without Jobs, Pingguo Company would not be able to develop at all.
He could tell from the time Jobs left Pingguo Company and Pingguo Company entered a period of decline. It makes no sense for Yang Ming to buy the original shares of Pingguo Company now. It is better to wait for Pingguo Company to go public and then buy it at that time.
"Sir Yang, this is my other partner, Mr. Markkula."
"Hello Sir Yang."
Markkula looked at Sir Yang with admiration and said.
He knew that Sir Yang's properties were spread all over the world, especially the Jardine Matheson Group and Hutchison Whampoa Group acquired by Sir Yang. In fact, they both had their properties in Country M.
It was precisely because of that that Markkula really admired Sir Yang when he saw him.
In this era, before they have become billionaires, they know that Sir Yang can become the richest man in Hong Kong with an unknown net worth, which really impresses them.
"You three, let's go to the study to chat."
When I came to Yang Ming's study, it was much more comfortable with heating.
After Jobs, Woz, and Markkula sat down respectively.
"Sir Yang, after discussions with our shareholder representatives, they are very happy to accept financing from Future Capital."
This seemed to be what Yang Ming expected.
"Mr. Jobs, regarding this financing of Pingguo Company, I have handed it over to Future Capital Company. Mr. Yuan, Mr. Langdon and others will talk to you then. However, I am prepared to buy 30% of Pingguo Company's original share."
30% of Pingguo Company’s original shares?
This involves 1923 million shares and nearly US$4 million.
In this day and age, this is definitely a lot of money. It can even be said that it is the largest venture capital investment in Silicon Valley over the years.
This is different from listing, this is pre-IPO financing.
The most important thing is that it involves a lot.
Jobs, Woz, and Markkula looked at each other, all very excited and surprised.
If Future Capital wants to buy 30% of the original shares, it is equivalent to diluting their current shares by 30%. If there are shareholder representatives who are willing to sell more of their original shares, and there are shareholders who are unwilling to sell that much, these can all be discussed.
Anyway, the dilution is 30% of the shares, and the future capital of the Imperial Group will become the largest shareholder of Pingguo Company with 30% of the shares.
As the largest shareholder, management rights, voting rights, etc. will also be involved.
These are all things that need to be discussed.
"Mr. Jobs, I am only interested in the original shares of Pingguo Company. I am not interested in management. In other words, Future Capital and I will not interfere with Pingguo Company's management issues. In addition, I am very supportive of Mr. Jobs, that is, as long as our future capital successfully finances Pingguo Company, we will support Mr. Jobs’ management of Pingguo Company no matter when.”
Jobs was even more surprised when he heard this.
He didn't expect Sir Yang to support him like that.
This means that even if he does not have many shares, he is stable as the founder and management of Pingguo Company.
Woz and Markkula on the side were a little amused when they heard it, and looked at Jobs with envy.
They couldn't figure out why Sir Young supported Jobs like that.
Yang Ming even said directly: "The reason why I am financing Pingguo Company is that I am optimistic about Mr. Jobs. If Mr. Jobs leaves Pingguo Company, then I will not spend a penny to finance Pingguo Company."
"Sir Yang, thank you so much for your support."
Jobs looked at Yang Ming excitedly and said.
Speaking of which, Steve Jobs' identity is somewhat different from that of other people from China.
Although he was born and raised in country M, his biological father is Arab and his biological mother is Germanic. However, he was abandoned by his parents just after he was born.
Fortunately, Paul and Clara Jobs, a kind-hearted couple, adopted him.
It is precisely because of that that he may have a different view of his origins, which can be seen from his later treatment of his family, especially his attitude towards his daughter Lisa.
This may be related to his childhood experience.
To his surprise, Sir Yang of the Imperial Group not only provided a large amount of financing to Pingguo Company, but also proposed not to interfere with Pingguo Company's management rights and to support Jobs.
How could Steve not be moved by this?
"Everyone, I will let people from Future Capital Company talk to you. After the financing is negotiated, our Empire Group can also send people to talk to you about the purchase of Pingguo computers in the future."
"Sir Yang, thank you so much."
The three Jobs were also very excited.
"In addition, I think we can also discuss the cooperation issue with Empire Games. However, both parties must be satisfied."
Even if Yang Ming successfully finances Pingguo Company, acquires 30% of the original shares, and is already the largest shareholder of Pingguo Company, the matter involving cooperation with Empire Games is a matter between the two companies, and Yang Ming knows that it will be discussed.
Pingguo Company is not a company controlled by him, and it cannot be controlled by him.
. . .
the next day.
San Francisco newspapers, San Francisco Chinese newspapers, and Silicon Valley technology newspapers all reported news that shocked San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and even Country M.
Future Capital, a company established by Empire Group in Silicon Valley, is about to conduct the largest financing in Pingguo Company's history, even in Silicon Valley's history.
The financing amount is nearly US$4 million.
This news really shocked Silicon Valley, Country M, and even the technology circles of Country M.
