January 10, 2007, Kyoto Inspiration Company.

At this time, Wang Yue was frowning, trying to find a way to solve the problem of the annual meeting, that is, the financial problem of Inspiration.

The annual meeting must be held, even if the business is not good this year, no matter what, even if it is poor, then the annual meeting must be held.

When he originally got this idea from Japan, he was in high spirits and wanted to do something.

However, the reality directly taught him to be a man!

It's not something, not everyone can succeed, he is indeed not the son of destiny.

At this moment, he was a little suspicious of life. Is there something wrong with the direction he chose? !

"The QR code engine for the mobile phone direction has been completed, but no one is willing to buy or pay for it. How to solve this problem?"

"Ordinary commodity codes can be applied to commodities and have been used specifically, but their own QR codes seem to be more complicated and obviously not suitable."

"Yi Rui, haven't found the way out for the QR code?"

Wang Yue kept looking for ways, and he thought about all the directions he could think of over and over again.

"Dong dong dong~!"

Hearing the knock on the door, Wang Yue suddenly came back to his senses, and a voice that was not too full came out: "Come in."

Don't you know I'm troubled? !

This is so special, who is bothering me again? !

The problem of the company's funds has really troubled Wang Yue.

The employees who knocked on the door of their own office basically came to him for money, either the expenses here or the expenses there.

Before starting a company, he didn't know that money could be spent so easily.

"Mr. Wang, didn't I bother you?"

The vice president asked a little nervously, the boss, President Wang, doesn't seem to be in a good mood!

There was another company ready to invest in the front, and the bid was even more excessive. After only 1.5 million, they were ready to take 40% of Inspire's equity.

The result was obvious, he was directly beaten by Wang Yue.

That's right, it's run!

It's really irritating, 1.5 million, and he wants to buy 40% of Inspire's equity, just like sending a beggar.

Can Wang Yue stop being beaten?

Now you can't be soft!

Compared with the previous investment bank, it was too much. The previous one had at least 500,000 more and was willing to buy 40% of the equity for 2 million.

"You've been disturbed, let's talk about something, but don't mention the money thing. We have no solution for the time being."

Wang Yue waved his hand and hurriedly explained the situation in advance, whether to withdraw money or not, everything else is easy to say!

"President Wang, President Wang, this is the matter of withdrawing money..."

Hearing this, the vice president was stunned for a moment, and suddenly shouted in a low voice.

"What?! If you withdraw money, get out of here."

Wang Yue immediately stood up, pointed his finger outside the door, and said excitedly.

What the hell!

The company has no money, so it's not like you don't know, you dare to ask me for money! If you had money, Inspiration's problem would have been solved long ago.

If he dares to withdraw money, he must be kept from going away!

"Mr. Wang, I'm withdrawing money, but it's not about withdrawing money! By the way, it's really not about withdrawing money."

The vice president was forced by Wang Yue, and his speech was incoherent, and finally he managed to calm down.

"What do you mean by this, what is withdrawing money, and what is not about withdrawing money!"

Seeing the attitude of the vice president, Wang Yue is thinking about whether it is time to change this one? !

I can't solve the problem, and I can't speak clearly. What's the use of you? !

"Mr. Wang, this is what happened. Liang Chao, the general manager of Hacker Group, and Wenmeng, the general manager of Haotian Venture Capital, came to visit in person and are going to talk about financing."

The vice president wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and finally made things clear.

"Really, where? Oh, by the way, how are the financing conditions?"

Hearing what the vice president said, someone came to invest, and Wang Yue was immediately happy. Immediately, he realized that the financing conditions were the key.

If there is not much money, he would rather rot Inspire Technology in his hands.

"Mr. Wang, they didn't say it clearly, they plan to see you again."

"Where are the people? When will we talk?"

"People have come to our Inspiration Technology, right in the living room."

The vice president responded quickly and explained the situation of Liang Chao and Wenmeng.

"Will you do something, why didn't you say it earlier! How can you neglect such an important matter and a distinguished guest coming to your door!"

Hearing this, Wang Yue immediately tidied up his clothes and hurried out of the office, looking like he was going to see Liang Chao and Wen Meng quickly.

The boss is a real dog, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's that you keep interrupting me.

The vice president was scolded by Wang Yue, and suddenly scolded secretly with a bit of confidence.

"What are you doing, why are you in a daze, hurry up and lead the way!"

Wang Yue walked to the door of the office, and saw that the vice president didn't follow, and was still in a daze, and immediately cursed.

I have no eyesight, I don't know how to lead the way!

Regarding this vice president, he was really thinking about whether it should be replaced!

"Mr. Wang, I'll take you there."

The vice president heard the words, although he was furious, he could only respond in a low voice.

It's really hard to eat a bite of rice.

These days, if you want to get some money, you just need to pay something? !



"Mr. Wen, this company is Inspiration Technology that makes QR codes?"

Liang Chao looked at the living room, and the entire Inspiration Technology, and suddenly asked with a little doubt.

He seriously suspected that they had gone to the wrong place, the place was a little too small.

"Mr. Liang, it shouldn't be wrong. I checked the relevant information. After all, Inspire Technology is a small company, and the entire company is not very big."

Wenmeng responded quite politely from the side, although they both belonged to the general manager of the company under Feng Hao, but their identities were not the same.

This time, he was arranged by Feng Hao to personally assist Liang Chao in the acquisition of Inspiration Technology, which is an auxiliary position.

Auxiliary, there should be auxiliary awareness!

As for the companies related to the boss, he must investigate clearly, especially Haotian Research Institute, Hacker Group, and Genesis Computer. These three companies are all start-up companies by the boss. The boss has a very high equity stake and is the most important.

At this moment, Liang Chao heard the words and couldn't help frowning. This company seems to be a little small.

However, he didn't dare to relax in the slightest, the hacker group needed to win it at the smallest price possible.

"Mr. Wen, then we have to deal with it properly, especially in the aspect of mergers and acquisitions. You can take action. After all, you are an expert in this area."

"Mr. Liang, don't worry, I'm quite good at this."

Wenmeng, which has invested in or acquired many companies, said that there is no problem. In this regard, he is indeed an expert.

Recently, I have made seed investment or angel investment in many start-up companies, and I have a lot of experience and connections.

While chatting, they stopped talking when they found that the high-level executives of Inspiration came over.

"President Liang, President Wen, this is our determined boss, President Wang Yue."

Vice President Yi Rui and Wang Yue walked over quickly, and the Vice President quickly introduced to Liang Chao and Wen Meng with a smile.

"Mr. Wang, this is Mr. Liang Chao, the general manager of Hacker Group, and this is Mr. Wenmeng, the general manager of Haotian Venture Capital."

"Mr. Wang, hello, I'm Liang Chao from the hacker, nice to meet you."

"Mr. Wang, hello, I'm Wenmeng from Haotian Venture Capital, nice to meet you."

Seeing the introduction of the vice president and Wang Yue, Liang Chao and Wen Meng both stood up to say hello and responded with a smile.

"Mr. Liang, President Wen, hello, welcome to come."

Wang Yue heard the words and responded calmly without revealing too much.

In front of the vice-president, he can be a little more presumptuous and appear to have no money, but in front of Liang Chao and Wen Meng, he has to show his strength no matter what.

This is related to the follow-up financing situation. How much financing can be obtained depends on the next negotiation.

"President Liang, President Wen, President Wang, let's all go to the conference room inside."

At this moment, Vice President Yi Rui arranged with a smile.

"Okay, let's go then."

"Okay, Liang Chao and President Wen, please come here."

Of course Liang Chao and Wenmeng had no objection, nodded and agreed, while Wang Yue invited the two to go to the meeting inside.

So, the group went directly to the conference room inside.

"Mr. Liang and President Wen, I'm sorry for not being able to entertain them well for this sudden visit."

After sitting down, the vice president asked with a smile.

"It's okay, let's talk about things first. This is more important. You should understand our purpose, right?"

Wenmeng first waved his hand and went straight to the topic.

"Okay, I heard what our vice president said. Maybe the two of you have already understood the situation of Yirui and know some of the situation of Yirui, but I will repeat the situation of Yirui. After all, the content of external publicity may be There are a lot of deviations or mistakes.”

"Mr. Wang, there is no problem, please speak."

"Inspiration was founded in 2002. At the beginning of its establishment, it united a group of priority engineers from Beijing University, Tsinghua University, Harbin Institute of Technology, etc., and developed the world's first mobile phone QR code engine."

"In 2003, we obtained the 'QR code quick reading engine' with complete intellectual property rights, and applied for related patents. In 2005, we participated in the establishment of the national QR code standard and actively promoted it to become a world ISO international standards.”

"Since then, our Inspiration has been developing well, and related industries have also done well."

Good things and beautiful data, Wang Yue immediately put them out. As for the rest, he certainly won't put it on the table.

"Mr. Wang, Yi Rui can say it's good, but what we know about it doesn't seem to be what you said."

Wenmeng responded with a smile, seemingly not paying attention to Wang Yue's words.

"Mr. Wen, it may be that you have misunderstood the information."

Wang Yue still kept smiling at this moment. Although he felt a little bit through his heart, he had to keep smiling.

It is impossible to admit defeat.

He also wants to raise funds from these investment banks to solve the current problems.

In fact, he also has some plans in mind. If domestic financing is not available, then domestic!

I believe that the vision of foreign investment banks should not be very bad. The patent of QR code must have a lot of appeal.

"Mr. Wang, look at this data, as well as these reports, and the two investment banks you have contacted recently."

"what?!"

Seeing the data and reports handed over by Wenmeng, Wang Yue was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed suddenly.

The situation of Yi Rui was fully understood by the other party!

This is a terrible thing!

He opened the data and report with an uneasy mood, and the content inside made his face gloomy.

Almost all of Inspiration's status quo, including marketing, business and so on.

"Mr. Wang, Yirui is a good company, but it may be in trouble now, so Mr. Liang and I are here to help Yirui. Although Yirui has already released QR code products, there are not too many products. The application scenario. If it is going to be applied to the product, it is not even practical to have a product code.”

Seeing Wang Yue flip through the materials and put them down, Wenmeng still kept a faint smile and said to Wang Yue humbly.

Although he has obtained the information and is very confident, the negotiation has not yet succeeded, and he cannot relax a little.

Before, the boss had told him and Liang Chao that they must win Inspiration, no matter how expensive it was!

"Help Inspiration? Are President Wen and Liang always going to invest in Inspiration?"

When Wang Yue heard the words, he responded with a little anxiety. Does the other party want to invest in Yirui?

Are you still ready to pay a small price to get high equity?

The investigation is so clear, it must be difficult to do, and the conditions given may be very harsh.

At this moment, Wang Yue couldn't help but think about it. He was also not very optimistic about this financing.

"Yes, we are here to help Inspiration. President Wang, to be precise, we want to acquire Inspiration."

"Acquisition of Inspire? That's unlikely, we're not going to sell too much equity."

Facing Wenmeng's words, Wang Yue immediately refused.

Selling all of Inspiration, he is not very able to accept. Yi Rui was created by him, and most of the shares are in his hands.

Besides, even if he accepts, his partners may not be willing to sell.

"Mr. Wang, to put it badly, Inspiration is already facing bankruptcy. If there is no new financing coming in, it may not be able to last until the second half of the year."

"You must have come into contact with the face of capital and investment banks. For 1.5 million or 2 million, you want to take 40% of the equity of Inspire."

"And our boss still sees Yi Rui, so the price is not low."

Wenmeng smiled and guided him. If he wanted to acquire Inspiration, he first had to convince Wang Yue in front of him.

He knew that Wang Yue controlled about 70% of the equity. He agreed, and the matter was basically settled!

"Mr. Wen, what price do you charge?"

Wang Yue's face looked a little better at this time. Although he was not willing to sell it, he still asked about the situation.

"Mr. Wang, the market value of the entire Inspiration is about 8 million. This valuation should not be too low, right?"

"It should be higher."

"And we are willing to pay a premium of 30% and pay 10 million to acquire Inspiration."

Wenmeng stretched out a finger and gestured for 10 million, showing sincerity.

"Mr. Wen, I'm sorry, I can't accept such a price."

Without any hesitation, Wang Yue rejected Wenmeng's offer.

Despite the premium, he was reluctant to sell, and sold them all.

"Mr. Wang, we can discuss the price well, but we are very sincere. So, I will offer the highest price of 12 million. If it is more, I will not have the authority."

Seeing that Wang Yue didn't let go, Wenmeng made another offer and raised two million directly.

"Mr. Wen, why don't we think about it again, let's discuss it with other partners."

Wang Yue hesitated for a moment, then responded with a smile.

At such a price, he was actually a little moved.

He only got this QR code in Japan. Although he registered a patent, he didn't actually invest much money. The entire company invested only about three million yuan.

If it can reach 12 million, it seems not bad.

"Mr. Wang, when will there be information?"

Wenmeng saw that Wang Yue was willing to consider it and knew that there was progress.

Things don't happen overnight, and it seems like a good outcome to have such a result.

Wang Yue pondered for a while, and held a meeting in the afternoon to discuss it. There should be a result today.

So he smiled and responded, "Mr. Wen, President Liang, I'll give you the results tonight."

"That's fine, Mr. Wang."

Wenmeng and Liang Chao nodded in response.

Then, the two left Yi Rui.

"Mr. Wang, what is your opinion on Hacker Group and Haotian Venture Capital?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Bring other partners to the meeting."

Wang Yue waved his hand a little annoyed and asked the vice president to make arrangements.

On the one hand, facing bankruptcy, looking for new financing opportunities again; on the other hand, facing a sale, you can get a lot of money.

This is a dilemma!
