When Paypal and Alipay were being marketed, Ralph called Feng Yu again to tell him that the four banks insisted on matching the Fu Family's financing price. They can offer 800 million USD, but they want the same number of shares as the Fu Family.
Ralph felt guilty for not being able to complete the task given by his boss, even though this task was very difficult.
"It's alright, Ralph. It's easy to raise funds. We just need to spread the news that we are going to raise funds privately, and many people will come to contact us. Before and after Fu Rongqi's investment, the scale of the company had increased, and the market is bigger. There are more users. Why can't the share prices rise? "
Feng Yu was right. The Fu Family had raised funds less than half a month ago, and their share prices had doubled. Who wouldn't feel like they had suffered a loss?
Fu Rongqi was very grateful to Feng Yu. Feng Yu had chosen Feng Yu to be the Fu Family's long-term business partner. This was the right decision.
The Fu Family had been around for many years. At that time, contracts were not popular, and the Fu Family's businesses were based on verbal promises.
Slowly, it developed into relationships. If someone helped you before, then you must return the favor the next time you work with them. The Fu Family will give the other party some benefits in the future.
If you give the other party some benefits, the other party will give you some benefits in the future. This relationship will become stronger.
For example, the cooperation between Hong Kong's top families was also because of this. All of them were old friends, and most of the time, cooperation can be settled with just a phone call. I will not let you suffer any losses when I ask for your help. When you need my help, just a phone call will do.
Don't think that this relationship is only between the Chinese. Almost all the countries in the world have such business relationships. LA Wind and rain team's predecessor was the Clippers. Their boss, Donald, was very close with the Lakers' boss, Buss. Buss had borrowed money from Donald to buy the Lakers.
But when Donald was investing in real estate in Los Angeles, if he ran into financial difficulties, Bass would prepare the money for him with just a phone call. This was what many people thought of as Americans who only recognized contracts. Between them, there was also the trust between old friends.
Fu Rongqi felt that Feng Yu was a good person, and Feng Yu also felt that the Fu family was a good person. Whenever he needs help from the Fu family, he just needs to call them, and the Fu family will support him. Even without Feng Yu, the Fu Family is still one of Hong Kong's top families. With Fu Rongqi's rich experience in the business world, even if the Fu Family was not doing well, it would not be by much.
Of course, Feng Yu's friendship with Fu Guangzheng was also very important. Kirilenko and Fu Guangzheng were considered Feng Yu's best friends. In Feng Yu's heart, Kirilenko and Fu Guangzheng were like his childhood friend, Wen Dongjun.
Right now, they were the kind of friends who could discuss cooperation with just a phone call. They all believed that the other party wouldn't lie to them. As for Li Zekai and the others, they would need to discuss it in detail.
…
Ralph followed Feng Yu's instructions and spread the news of Amazon's second round of funding. Many people are interested, and many famous investment institutions, like Goldman Sachs, are interested in this investment.
Feng Yu did not expect Li Zekai to call him and tell him that the Li Family wants to buy Amazon's shares.
Feng Yu was troubled by this.
Although Feng Yu and Li Zekai were not good friends, they were on good terms. There were no conflicts when they were working together.
But Feng Yu's second round of funding was to get more funds. If he gave the Fu Family a different price and gave the Li Family a different price, it would show that he was treating them differently.
Although the Li Family knew that Feng Yu was on better terms with the Fu Family, if Feng Yu gave the Li Family double the price, he would be a sinner.
Li Zekai does not mind, but Superman Li was backing Li Zekai, and Feng Yu wanted to be on good terms with him.
Superman Li's title of the World's King of Ports was not just for show. In this era where shipping is the most important form of transportation, controlling the ports means controlling the profits and power!
When the United States was targeting Japanese companies, Superman Li had banned those Japanese companies' goods from entering the ports. This was a huge blow to those Japanese companies, and those companies' share prices plummeted.
Also, Superman Li's political status was very high. This was a taboo for Feng Yu.
Also, Donald Trump's properties in New York were worth more, and he had almost paid off his debts. Of course, he still had some loans, but the banks were not in a hurry to chase him for his loans because Trump's properties were still there.
Although Trump seldom invests in internet companies, this company was different. The major shareholder of this company was Feng Yu. During the dotcom bubble, when other companies were losing money, Feng Yu was able to make money from this company. This showed how valuable this company was!
There were also people like Masao Kameda, Heitaro Nakajima, Zong Qingxian, etc., and Feng Yu could not reject them.
Feng Yu was also surprised. He had offered such a high price, and so many people were interested. Especially Masao Kameda and the rest. They had never expressed interest in Amazon before. Furthermore, Masao Kameda knew the price of Amazon's first round of direct investment. The second round of direct investment had doubled, and he still wants to participate?
Since everyone wants to participate, Feng Yu might as well use the second round of direct investment internally. There were a lot of people, and Feng Yu does not need to worry about the Li Family misunderstandings. The price of the second round of direct investment was different from the first.
When Feng Yu told Taihua Holdings and Wind and Rain Holdings about the terms of direct investment, he realized the number of shares they wanted was more than what Amazon planned to issue.
Feng Yu did not want to issue so many shares. This amount of money was enough for Amazon to expand. If Feng Yu still did not have enough funds in the future, it was time for Amazon to get listed.
So, Feng Yu told them that there was a limited number of shares this time. If everyone was so enthusiastic, there might not be enough shares. So, Feng Yu discussed with them again and reduced the number of shares they wanted by half.
All of them agreed to Feng Yu's offer in their own names or in their companies' names. Feng Yu asked Masao Kameda why he did not ask for more shares before this.
Masao Kameda told Feng Yu. He thought Feng Yu was going to use this to cooperate with those US banks, and he was too embarrassed to ask for more shares. Now, Masao Kameda knew that Feng Yu was not going to cooperate with them, and there was an opportunity to buy shares.
This reason made Feng Yu feel bad. This was a good opportunity to make money, and why didn't he think of his own people? Right now, all of these people were quite wealthy as well.
Seems like Feng Yu had to inform his own people first in the future. He will also let them know that they could make money by following Feng Yu!
