Several investors from Saibin are a little fidgety at this time.

Strictly speaking, they belong to the Progressive Party camp together with the capitalists in kurilan on the other side. Many times, they always maintain a shared attitude in some resources and information.

This is the advantage of capitalists with political camp in the face of capitalists without camp or neutral camp. They may even form an alliance briefly under the intervention of some powerful figures.

But they can't be regarded as the same group. After all, they haven't eaten in the same trough all the time. Moreover, these people want to rob business this time, so they can't get together with each other.

What really makes them feel uneasy is that they claim that the valuation of interstellar trade company is 70 million. Whether mark really uses 2 million to buy 3% of the shares, in short, this valuation is absolutely indispensable now.

This has nothing to do with mark. If the valuation decreases, Mark's shareholding will increase first, and then they may use their wealth beyond their budget to compete for more equity.

Everyone knows that whoever has the most stocks in a company will speak louder, and who can get more support will decide everything in a company.

This is why entrepreneurial companies love and hate investors and investment companies. Their equity is often lower than those investment companies, which also leads to many founders being ridiculously removed from the board of directors and kicked out.

Before, their idea was to talk about the valuation as much as possible, and then sing a duet with Lynch to keep the stock price of Star Trading Company rising.

They don't worry that Lynch won't agree, because it makes money faster and more than doing business down-to-earth.

In fact, there is no difference between raising the market valuation of a company and hyping the price of a work of art. It keeps changing hands to improve people's expected value.

But the speculation of antiques is finally waiting for a fool, and the speculation of the market value of a company is to wait for a group of fools after it goes public.

At present, a large number of capitalists in Bayer Federation and even in the whole world are changing from the most primitive entity operation to capital operation. They no longer pursue the value of goods, but only value.

They thought they could get more shares in Lynch with relatively less money and other things.

However, there are competitors. If they put down the price, it means that the other party can spend less money and do more things (get more equity). Once the two sides start competition, the contradiction will be sharp and their loss will be greater.

There is also a worry free young man, Lynch.

If at this time they think Lynch is just a lucky boy, they are really stupid. The mistake of arranging the two groups of them together is either stupid or crafty.

There is no doubt that Lynch doesn't look like a stupid young man. He quietly took care of mark, which means that they are the ones who look out of sight.

"Everyone came for my company..." Lynch took a sip of coffee with a smile. The slightly bitter taste followed by a mellow aroma. The baking was just right. He put down his cup, looked at the two groups and continued, "I don't refuse other people's investment in star trading companies. I never think that a successful person can succeed alone. Everyone's success needs the help of some people."

"If I succeed, you are the ones who help me, and vice versa. If you succeed, I am the one who helps you."

When he said this, he laid the tone of this small meeting, that is, agreeing to invest in shares. This attitude makes no one find anything wrong.

In order to plunder wealth, these federal capitalists even promoted legal provisions requiring companies with a valuation of more than 10 million to have multiple "shareholders". The purpose of this can be said to be to forcibly obtain equity.

Lynch did not oppose investment, but warmly welcomed them, but I don't know why, they felt a little... Bad taste.

Then, he talked about some core contents, "in fact, let everyone sit together, but I don't want to repeat some things again and again. I hope you can help me. After all, I'm a young man, and sometimes my character will be very bad."

He also looked at the two groups on both sides. After everyone expressed understanding, he nodded noncommittally, "in my eyes, my company must be the best in the world, but I also know that it is not objective enough. We should respect the choice of the market."

"Not long ago, mark, a famous young entrepreneur in Saibin, got 3% of the shares from me for 2 million. I think this is a relatively reasonable price. What do you think?"

People in Saibin were choked by Lynch's words. They publicized the 70 million valuation themselves. Now they don't have the courage to ask mark if he really gave 2 million.

If the other party really gives two million, their businessmen in Saibin will face the mayor's anger because they cause the mayor to lose money.

So they put their hope of counterattack on the businessmen in kurilan city. This is the first time they hope that these people can be useful and lower the price.

But their silence made the businessmen in kulilan have the idea that "the general fact is so". Didn't the businessmen in Saibin raise any objection?

They don't know much about Lynch's company. After all, it's a company in another city. In this era of inconvenient communication, people will only know what they are interested in.

And this time, Noah, the mayor's personal follower, told them quietly that he was optimistic about Lynch's company, which was telling them that in order to find a way to win part of Lynch's shares, at least he should be able to attend the company's board of directors.

As long as we can obtain part of the equity and increase pressure on the board of directors through these shareholders, Lynch can invest more construction funds and provide more jobs in kurilan.

Sometimes I have to say that it is really not easy to be a politician in the Federation, because to be a qualified politician, we should not only understand politics and its game playing methods, but also know enough about the economy.

These people came with a very simple purpose. At this time, they didn't speak when they saw the people opposite. They acquiesced to Lynch's statement and naturally wouldn't interrupt.

Neither side spoke. To be honest, Lynch was surprised. He thought these people would start to suppress his valuation. He even thought about it. Later, he would make concessions to the price, but he would cut the business and turn one company into three companies, so that they still wanted a lot of money to give him.

But they chose the default, which made Lynch feel that these people were a little cute and silly.

He nodded and patted the armrest of the sofa. Basically, the matter was settled, and all that remained was the sawing of quantity and payment method.

"At least half of the cash, this is the bottom line..."

This time, someone finally interrupted Lynch. The people who spoke were the businessmen on the side of Saibin. They felt that if they didn't speak again, the people on the other side would remain silent like fools.

At that time, many things will be irreparable, so they have to open their mouth.

"It's impossible, Mr. Lynch!" the speaker is thin and tall. In fact, many times when people think of capitalists and businessmen, their first impression is a slightly bald, greasy middle-aged fat man, who is also very treacherous and slippery.

In fact, this is just a product of the times. In fact, most capitalists maintain a very healthy body, because they have special housekeepers or others to help them manage their health, and they also have enough time and money to solve some of their problems with the most advanced and scientific methods.

Some scientists said that the most cutting-edge scientific and technological inventions in the world were invented to better serve the rich. They didn't consider serving the ordinary people from the beginning.

Moreover, the more successful capitalists are, the more strict they are in self-discipline. Now it is difficult to have that kind of fat capitalists who have to breathe when walking, greasy and treacherous capitalists.

Lynch looked at him, and he met Lynch's eyes without fear. At the thought of losing a lot of extra money, his heart was bleeding. Now he still wants to cut him in the head. He will never agree, even if he dies!

After expressing strong opposition, his tone eased a little, "Mr. Lynch, you know the current situation, cash is becoming more and more difficult to recover, and we have to deal with many other emergencies..."

Others nodded one after another. It was difficult to collect the money, but the money was very simple. They only paid all kinds of wages every month. They would have a headache for water, electricity, gas or site use and management fees for a while.

If Lynch asks for such a high proportion of cash, some of them may fall into a difficult situation of capital turnover in an instant, and even lead to the rupture of the capital chain.

So 50% cash ratio is absolutely impossible!

Lynch looked at him. "So how much do you think is appropriate?"

Thin and tall gave a result they had discussed before, "about 15%, which is a reasonable proportion."

Lynch shook his head directly. "No, it's too little. I can't agree."

Thin and tall, they seem to be communicating with each other, and then increased by two points, "17% cash, this is our greatest sincerity!"

Lynch stood up directly. He patted his ass and looked down at these people. "I drank wine at night. Now I'm a little confused, and we think we need to think about this issue again. Let's talk about it sometime tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Tall and thin is also very determined, "even if tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, this proportion will not fluctuate too much."

Lynch sneered and turned away.

In fact, he knew the tricks these people played when they first entered the industry. They didn't care about their valuation of their company because they probably didn't think about how much they would spend to buy shares from the beginning.

I have to say that mark is a kind and honest child, and these capitalists seem weak. They are the real wolves!

In fact, there is nothing special about their tricks. The market value of a company is composed of many aspects. If you want to determine how much a company is worth, you can see its net value.

However, no company will talk about net worth with others. The simplest example is that many companies are using bank loans as annual income. It is normal to operate in debt. These enterprises will avoid talking about net worth.

The market value of an enterprise with a market value of 10 billion may be several million or even negative as soon as it says its net value.

So the capitalists cleverly introduced the concept of expected value into the estimation of market value. In other words, they calculated the money they had probably, may and had the opportunity to earn in advance into the value of the company, made a short-term market value valuation, and then pushed the short-term market value valuation to people as the value of the company.

Even if Lynch valued his company at 100 million, these businessmen wouldn't think it was a headache. To solve it, they also went to get an enterprise valued at 100 million, and then cross shareholding could get the shares of Lynch.

I am also a hundred million, and you are also a hundred million. I use my 10% for your 10%, is there no problem?

As for my company's sudden collapse, it's because of my poor management. You can't blame me.

In other words, I can hold a company empty handed.

So even if Lynch's valuation is higher, these people are not afraid. They have ways.

But what really bothers them is the proportion of cash required by Lynch. This is real cash, and they can't do anything from it.

Whether it's a dollar or a hundred dollars, it's money and cash!

Their initial plan was to get at least 30% of the shares of Lynch company for about 2 million, but now the valuation problem will not change and the price will not change. These people can only play tricks on the proportion of cash.

Even now, if we do it their way, we can get 35% of the shares of Lynch, a company with a market value of 70 million, with about 34 million cash!

It sounds like a fantasy. They buy more than 20 million shares with three or four million, but this is the most common means in the capital market, because they will also exchange various company shares and property rights that may be worth more than 20 million.

Note that it is only possible that financial markets are full of risks, and there are always things that are worthless after a night.

But they may not be able to realize their ideas this time. In terms of cunning and treachery, Lynch is definitely better!
