Rebirth: Super Banking System

Chapter 1790: Chapter 1618: We Have Money Now

It’s different from working alone.

At the beginning.

This small conglomerate sought cooperation everywhere, bringing people in. You have to admit, after much effort, although it started at a low point, the growth rate was astonishing. After a year or two of toil, it really carved out a niche.

Not large.

Yet it is a refreshing stream.

So glaringly noticeable.

Expanding so rapidly.

Ling Ya’s father was also astonished, and later gradually understood, discovering that this small conglomerate had a bit of a ’rebellious’ philosophy. While it wasn’t being widely propagated, its actions clearly indicated this.

Opposing class solidification.

Breaking the shackles of class.

Dissatisfied with the current system.

…

Many, many aspects.

It truly resonates with people’s hearts.

This philosophy is quite provocative in Japan, precisely because of this that Ling Ya’s father felt it was very dangerous, as it represented a challenge to the existing order, something the conglomerates would not agree to.

The existing interest groups also wouldn’t support it.

However.

On second thought.

Even if you kowtow, would those conglomerates and big shots support you?

Clearly.

It’s impossible, at most they just spare a thin soup and water, and you still have to kneel and receive it with both hands. Therefore, this small conglomerate probably had no choice but to prepare another path.

Ultimately, how it goes.

He didn’t dare conclude, but from deep down he rather hoped for its success. After staying in Japan for a long time, he could more deeply feel the notion of bending down to touch the ceiling, wanting to stand straight, but the knees must touch the ground.

If he could smash a hole in this ceiling.

Perhaps.

He could go upstairs and see.

…

At this moment.

Jingdong Headquarters.

The conference room welcomed several special guests – ERV’s negotiation representatives. Liu Dong was so excited last night he didn’t sleep a wink, fearing it was a dream or a prank, but seeing the people now, he was relieved.

After small talk.

Straight to the point.

“Mr. Liu Dong, these are our ERV conditions.”

The ERV representative handed over a folder.

Liu Dong took it.

“Just a moment.”

After speaking.

He carefully examined it.

Not much, just two pages, and it’s all in Chinese Characters. The more he read, the more he felt… grand. Yes, grand, without the usual harsh demands and nitpicking of ordinary investors.

On the contrary.

It’s very lenient.

Providing money.

Providing technology.

Providing resources.

Yet not interfering.

Especially, the valuation of Jingdong reached Liu Dong’s psychological expectations, with several financing plans inside, corresponding to different stock shares, but not contending for voting rights.

This point.

Is what Liu Dong values extremely.

Ali.

Penguin.

Although most shares are not in the hands of the founders, the control has never changed.

Therefore.

He never thought of handing over Jingdong’s control, if that day ever came, he would rather sell Jingdong; a Jingdong where even his words don’t count, why stick around?

At this moment.

He thought of ERV’s investment in Penguin.

After acquiring MIH’s shares, it’s heard that no unreasonable new clauses were added, instead ERV added a few for itself, such as Huaxia’s game agent, in the future it can only be Penguin.

That’s why he called it grand.

“I’ve finished reading it, thank you ERV for respecting Jingdong,” Liu Dong said sincerely.

Upon hearing this.

The representative’s face broke into a smile.

Of course he knew the reason.

“You’re welcome, Jingdong’s model is extremely similar to Amazon, strictly speaking, we are people with shared philosophies, there’s a saying in Huaxia, heroes appreciate heroes, we favor Jingdong.”

“Moreover, we also favor President Liu’s insight.”

“…”

Liu Dong smiled wryly in his heart.

Really good at praising.

Especially the last sentence, favoring his insight, wasn’t it just directly praising Amazon, praising ERV itself.

So it is.

They don’t favor Jingdong, but favor the model, feel it’s the same path as their Amazon, yet it still sounds pleasant, heroes appreciate heroes, somewhat hits the mark.

“Thank you.”

“These clauses, all take your interests, and normal business rules into account. ERV advocates fair cooperation, doesn’t like to change prepared clauses, what do you think?”

This sentence.

Suppressed Liu Dong’s impulse to ask for a higher price.

Listen.

So darn domineering.

Not liking changing clauses, of course, also because their clauses are genuinely reasonable. At the moment, the clause content was also passed to other major shareholders of Jingdong; after reading, they couldn’t find a fault.

If elsewhere.

Same stock, in exchange for funds + technology + other valuable conditions, might not even reach half of now, this is reality. A strong investor has the brand bonus.

Even if the financing amount is halved.

Others stay unchanged.

Liu Dong might still grit his teeth to agree.

“Our shareholders need to discuss a bit,” Liu Dong said.

“Alright.”

The representative stood up.

And Liu Dong.

Shook hands with Jingdong’s executives and major shareholder representatives, then left with his subordinates. As for when Jingdong would agree, there wasn’t a set time limit; Jingdong’s funds are about to run dry, ERV isn’t the anxious party.

Escorting them downstairs.

Liu Dong waved his hands, only turning around to go back after seeing the car disappear around the corner.

Going upstairs.

Conference room.

“What does everyone think?”

This question.

Is a bit ’tricky’, in general financing, the investor’s harsh conditions come one after another, all negotiation points, without rounds of talks, it’s impossible to produce a satisfying result.

But this time.

It’s almost the best result placed in front.

Suddenly.

It actually made people a bit at a loss, not quite playing by ordinary rules, somewhat unfamiliar.

“I think these conditions are very good, that’s undeniable, be it valuation or support, they’re all beyond what we previously estimated, almost reaching the negotiation target.”
