The gentle and elegant Ma Huadian also smiled and asked, "Boss Xia, we are uninvited guests. You won't blame us, right?"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Brother Ma, what are you talking about? I can't wait to welcome you all! How could I blame you? What do you mean by bringing light to a humble dwelling? That's exactly what it means! I feel that after you all came, the banquet hall has become a lot brighter! "
"Boss Xia is too good with words!" Ma Huadian said with a smile.
Ma Yun said, "Boss Xia, don't just talk without action! Hurry up and give us a dozen Taoyuan Club membership cards! "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but laugh. Ma Yun had taken the initiative to ask for a membership card, and Xia Ruofei naturally wouldn't reject this group of internet moguls. Being able to become a member of the Taoyuan Club was the best advertisement in itself.
"Of course, no problem! I couldn't ask for more! "Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
He waved his hand and called the restaurant manager, who was shuttling back and forth in the banquet hall, over, and whispered a few words into his ear.
The restaurant manager quickly nodded and walked quickly in the direction of Zhao Yongjun.
After Zhao Yongjun received the news, he looked at Xia Ruofei in surprise. When he saw Ma Yun, Ma Huadian, Liu Dong, and the others chatting happily with Xia Ruofei, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. However, he didn't go over directly. Instead, he excused himself from his friends and walked to the side with the restaurant manager.
Zhao Yongjun took out a stack of membership cards from his bag, counted them, and handed them to the restaurant manager. He gave a few words of advice and then walked to another friend with a glass of wine.
The restaurant manager returned to Xia Ruofei's side.
Xia Ruofei took the stack of membership cards and didn't look at the numbers on them. He directly handed one to Liu Dong, who was closest to him, and gave one to each person present.
Although only 30 diamond cards were issued to the public, Zhao Yongjun naturally had backups. The stack of cards he gave to Xia Ruofei were all diamond cards.
Xia Ruofei said as he sent, "Dear bosses, please patronize our club's business in the future!"
These diamond cards were all numbered. Xia Ruofei did not give them out in order. It was completely messed up to prevent the business tycoons from competing with each other and turning a good thing into a bad thing.
One must know that even if Ma Yun, Liu Dong, and Ma Huadian appeared to be harmonious on the surface, they were definitely competing with each other secretly. If they didn't even have such a competitive heart, they wouldn't have been able to make the company so big.
Ma Yun took the membership card and said with a smile, "Is Boss Xia still relying on this little bit of profit?"
Xia Ruofei said, "I'm not like you guys who have a big family business. Other than a small company, I only have this club! How can I not care? "
Ma Yun pointed at Xia Ruofei and said with a smile, "Boss Xia, let's not beat around the bush. Your company is not a small one! You can lie to others, but do you think we don't know that? "
Liu Dong, Cheng Ou, and the others all agreed.
The Taoyuan Company's Yuji ointment was very popular on the top e-commerce platforms. For these bosses, the sales data was not a secret at all. The profit margin of the cosmetics industry had always been very large. Yuji ointment was almost always in a state where the supply could not meet the demand. Just this alone, the speed of making money could be imagined.
What's more, although the Taoyuan Company's other products were not as profitable as Yuji ointment, they were all high-quality products in their field. It could be said that the image of the Taoyuan Company's high-quality products was now deeply ingrained in people's hearts.
Such a company's development potential could be said to be endless.
The business world had always been based on strength. When the Taoyuan Club opened, these Internet bosses could come together. Although everyone was attending the Internet Summit in Beijing, it was more because almost everyone was quite optimistic about the Taoyuan Company's development prospects.
Xia Ruofei begged for mercy and said, "Boss Ma, don't flatter me. Even if you pluck a leg hair from the Gold-Panning Group, it's still bigger than my Taoyuan Company! Now, the market value of my company is at most one or two billion yuan. "
The market value of the Gold-Panning Group had already broken through the 100 billion yuan mark. In terms of size, the Taoyuan Company was really a small thing in front of the Gold-Panning Group.
Ma Yun said seriously, "The market value doesn't mean anything. Your company is not listed …"
Xia Ruofei agreed with this point. The value of the Taoyuan Company was definitely not what it looked like on the surface. The intangible brand value and the value of the intellectual property that Xia Ruofei exclusively controlled were all difficult to quantify.
What's more, Xia Ruofei's actual wealth was far beyond the Taoyuan Company. Now, just the funds in his overseas account were equivalent to several Taoyuan Company.
And this was pure cash flow.
Even if Ma Yun's wealth was comparable to that of a country, it would be difficult for him to immediately take out one or two billion dollars.
At this time, Ma Huadian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Boss Xia, you have cooperated with all of us here. You can't be biased! Penguin Group is also very interested in cooperating with your company! "
Xia Ruofei was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Brother Ma, is there room for us to cooperate? We don't seem to be in the same industry, right? "
Strictly speaking, the Taoyuan Company was in the real economy and did not have much interaction with Internet companies. The cooperation with the e-commerce platform was also because the other party controlled the channel. Strictly speaking, this was not a close cooperation. In essence, it was no different from a small shop opening a shop on the platform of the Gold Rush Group or the Jingbei Mall.
Penguin Group had previously tried to enter the e-commerce field and compete with the Gold Rush Group. As for the Jingbei Mall, when Penguin Group was in the e-commerce field, the Jingbei Mall was not in the industry.
However, Penguin Group's attempts in the e-commerce field basically ended in failure. Now, although Penguin Group invested in e-commerce platforms, it was only as an investor.
Ma Huadian smiled faintly and said, "How can there be no room for cooperation? Now we have entered the era of the Internet of Things. The Internet connects everything. The Internet industry can cooperate with any industry. "
There was nothing wrong with this statement. The Internet of Things had been mentioned for a few years, and it had developed very quickly in the past two years. The most typical examples were smart homes and self-driving cars. Even so, Xia Ruofei still could not think of any cooperation between the Taoyuan Company and Penguin Group.
Ma Huadian smiled and said, "Boss Xia, our group has too much cash flow recently. There is nowhere to spend it. Are you interested in financing?"
When Ma Yun heard this, she could not help but say, "After all this time, you still want financing!"
Ma Huadian acted as if he did not hear her. He looked at Xia Ruofei and said, "500 million Huaxia dollars. I only want 10% of the shares and all the voting rights can be given to you. In addition … 100 million of the 500 million can be cashed out to shareholders. "
When Ma Huadian said this, Ma Yun, who wanted to ridicule him, could not help but be stunned.
Even Xia Ruofei could not help but be a little tempted.
He had to admit that Ma Huadian's conditions were simply too good.
The Taoyuan Company's valuation was more than a billion yuan at most, less than two billion yuan. Ma Huadian directly gave a valuation of five billion yuan. Moreover, 500 million yuan for 10% of the shares was purely an investment. There was not even voting rights. In addition, 100 million yuan could be cashed out to shareholders.
Under normal circumstances, the money obtained from corporate financing was invested in the operation of the company. Only when both parties agreed in advance could a certain percentage be cashed out.
Of course, with Xia Ruofei's current shareholding ratio, the so-called cashing out of shareholders was basically him cashing out alone.
Xia Ruofei did not invest much money in the Taoyuan Company's development today. The 10% of the shares could be cashed out for 100 million yuan. Moreover, he still owned more than 80% of the company's shares and had absolute control of the company.
If it was another entrepreneur, their brain would be dazed by this sudden happiness. There was a high probability that they would agree to Ma Huadian's financing plan.
However, the Taoyuan Company was not short of money now. Xia Ruofei himself was not short of money. He would not dilute his shares for a few hundred million yuan.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei was only a little tempted at that moment. He quickly showed an apologetic smile and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Ma. The company has no plans to raise funds at the moment. If there is a need for financing in the future, I will first consider Penguin Group. "
Ma Huadian couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment. However, Brother Ma had always maintained his demeanor. He quickly showed a smile and nodded. "Okay! You mustn't forget it! In addition … whenever Boss Xia needs funds, you can contact me directly. My financing plan will always be effective. "
"No problem! Thank you, Brother Ma! "Xia Ruofei nodded and said.
Financing was sometimes like gambling. Most of the financing at a premium was nothing more than that the development prospects of the startup company were more optimistic. To put it bluntly, the premium part was gambling on the future prospects.
Obviously, Ma Huadian was very optimistic about the prospects of the Taoyuan Company.
When Ma Yun heard this, he immediately said, "Boss Xia, our Gold-Panning Group is also very interested! If you want to raise funds, don't forget me! And don't we have a cooperative relationship? Don't let the goodies flow into the fields of others! "
Liu Dong, Cheng Ou, and others also expressed their interest in investing in the Taoyuan Company.
Xia Ruofei happily agreed. Xia Ruofei could write this kind of empty check at will. It was nothing more than selling a favor. He had no intention of listing the Taoyuan Company, let alone raising funds.
Xia Ruofei and these Internet entrepreneurs talked happily. These people all stood out in the Internet industry and had rich experience in managing enterprises. Many of their views were very inspiring to Xia Ruofei.
During the chat, Xia Ruofei found that Liu Dong, who was usually forthright and generous, didn't seem to be in a good mood today. There was also a hint of sadness between his eyebrows.
Xia Ruofei felt a little strange. Liu Dong happened to be sitting next to him, so Xia Ruofei leaned over and whispered, "President Liu, I feel that you are not in a good mood! Did you encounter something difficult? "
