Chapter 150
Suri thought.

If the financing of 6000 million US dollars is really provided this time, it should allow Dongjing Mall to last for a year or two.

During this period.

Regardless of the shares of Facebook or Netflix Entertainment, or the shares held by my father, the value will soar at that time, and there is no need to worry about money at all.

So Su Rui, rich and powerful, replied to Liu Dong:

"At least [-] million U.S. dollars. If the performance is good enough, [-] to [-] million U.S. dollars is not a big problem. If you agree to replace the loan with stocks when the time is right, I am also willing to accept it. These can be discussed slowly. The terms are written into the financing agreement, so there is no need to worry about me changing my mind."

Seeing that Liu Dong's focus is obviously not on the valuation of "6000 million US dollars".

Su Rui had already guessed that the price was quite appropriate, at least the other party would be willing to accept it, otherwise the topic of valuation should be discussed first.

Not wanting decision-making power, but also willing to provide a large amount of low-interest loans, this is the strategy discussed by Su Rui and the family office consultants, which completely solves Liu Dong's worries.

Liu Dong was afraid of being tricked, so he said at this moment:

"The trouble that Dongjing Mall should be most concerned about now is how to survive. Give me some time to think about it. If there are some details that are okay, the rest of the company and I will most likely accept it. The company also has other shareholders. I want to Ask for their opinion first."

Su Rui said calmly:
"Don't worry, my offer is valid for two months, and you can find other venture capital firms."

Liu Dong couldn't help laughing, and replied:

"Haven't I had enough rejections? Maxima is often available, but Bole is not often available. I also think it is difficult to find a better offer than this. To tell you the truth, in the past three months, I have never been as relaxed as I am now. However, it shows that the hard work has not been in vain, and I also thank you and your father for their insight, if we can cooperate in the end, I will definitely not let you down."

Su Rui blinked, smiled brightly and said:

"I think people are very accurate. I have more confidence in you than you have in yourself..."

Liu Dong didn't think much about it.

There is no love for no reason in the world, and there is no hate for no reason.

He only thinks that Su Rui regards Dongjing Mall as the "Chinese version of Amazon Mall" and thinks that their company has potential, so he thinks highly of himself.

Just a few months ago, a foreign valuation agency offered a valuation of about US$[-] million for Dongjing Mall. After the financial tsunami triggered by the US subprime mortgage swept the world, the value of many assets shrank sharply.

Coupled with rumors that Dongjing Mall is in arrears with suppliers and its books are about to bottom out, these are affecting its value.

At this moment, Liu Dong really felt that Su Rui's valuation of 6000 million US dollars was already kind enough.

In fact, even if the financing is based on a valuation of 5000 million US dollars, he feels that he still cannot refuse, but if the price is lowered too low, and at the same time he wants to take half of the equity, Liu Dong would rather go outside and have some closed doors.

At that time, unless he is desperate, he will probably bite the bullet and accept Su Rui's conditions.

But now, Su Rui's combination of US$6000 million in financing, waiver of voting rights, and at least US$[-] million in low-interest loans made Liu Dong very happy, and he couldn't find a reason to refuse after thinking about it.

In particular, the promised low-interest loan of at least [-] million US dollars is equivalent to completing part of the B-round financing ahead of schedule, and the possibility of Dongjing Mall's smooth survival has increased a lot in an instant.

There are many Internet companies that have survived the angel round and the A round of financing. If they can reach the B round of financing, it is almost equal to being able to occupy a place in the stock exchange.

With Su Rui's promise and being able to survive the current difficulties, Liu Dong felt that even if he released half of the shares, it would not be so unacceptable.

After all, only by letting the company survive first can we have the opportunity to consider the issue of gains and losses...

……

Keep swinging.

The green lawn of the golf course extends to the edge of the cliff.

The weather is good today, the sun is shining on the sea, the sea is sparkling, and the wind is very comfortable on the body. Find a camera and take a picture casually, and you can use it as a computer screen wallpaper.

It is no wonder that golf can be loved by the rich because you can walk on the grass in a pleasant environment without strenuous exercise.

As for tennis and football, you can't be out of breath while chatting about business with others.
Although Su Rui's skills are too good, he was quite elegant when he played. Wearing a polo shirt, he swung again and hit a full five strokes from a distance of 30 meters before hitting the ball into the second hole.

Liu Dong didn't feel any better, and almost threw the cue flying.

There is nothing wrong with saying that chickens peck at each other.

After playing the second hole, Liu Dong looked at the surrounding environment and said with emotion:
"We just live. You can call this kind of life enjoyment. It seems that there is nothing to worry about. With such a big island, you can feel comfortable every day."

Su Rui's happiness was clear at a glance. After listening to it, he didn't moan without illness, but only replied:
"When you get through the most difficult early stage of starting a business, countless people will look up to you with your achievements. Life is short, and it's too late. Just have what you want. There is no need to put too much pressure on yourself."

Just when Liu Dong thought about it carefully, he realized that he was middle-aged, and he was not yet open to Su Rui.

Su Rui changed the subject and added again:
"Everyone has something they are good at. What I am best at is making money. Even if I start a business myself, the situation may not be better than it is now. How can I be comfortable as an investor who contributes money and does not work hard. The so-called quiet years are good, but It’s just that there are a group of smart businessmen who are carrying the burden for me. If we can cooperate, Brother Dong, remember to work hard. After making the company bigger and stronger, I will enjoy it even more.”

The corner of Liu Dong's mouth twitched.

Although the reasoning is correct, these words sounded a bit unavoidable.

For the first time in his life, Liu Dong suddenly realized that his current achievements seemed nothing at all.

People like Su Rui relying on money to make money, enjoying life while making money every day, are truly standing at the top of human society and have achieved spiritual freedom, financial freedom and time freedom.

As a businessman, Liu Dong often faces situations where he cannot help himself, and there is not enough time and money all day long.

For example, at this moment, he smiled and said to Su Rui:
"If you become a partner, you don't need to say that I will do it seriously. Taobao belongs to the largest e-commerce platform in the mainland, so I will be the largest online retailer. According to the successful experience of the Amazon mall in the United States, it is feasible. The reliability is very high, regardless of the speed of transportation, after-sales service, and quality control, it will be our advantage."

Take a golf cart to the third hole.

Su Rui changed the subject and said:

"When I have time, I plan to travel back to the mainland and find other investment targets by the way. From the perspective of the general trend, the strength of the United States is continuing to decline, while the strength of the mainland continues to rise. The United States has already killed several world No. I bet China can win."

Liu Dong said with emotion:
"Fortunately, my family was poor, and I had no money to go abroad. Some alumni sold their house next to the Forbidden City. It is said that after going to San Francisco, they can only work as security guards, guarding the parking lot and helping people collect fees..."
