Chapter 146 Factory leaks(1/2)
When Su An separated from his parents, he would never have thought that he would be followed as soon as he stepped out of the community.
At this time, the group of people following Su An did not meet by chance outside the community.
But when Su An took a bus from the county to the capital, there was a middle-aged couple on the bus who was always paying attention to Su An's family.
In front of and behind the bus, there were two cars accompanying each other.
Less than two hours after Lin Xiangqin was tied to a car, in an office somewhere in the capital, a middle-aged man was being scolded.
After being scolded, Su An's security was immediately upgraded.
As a national security team, they actually tied Lin Xiangqin into a car right under their noses. If this group of people were well-trained agents, at least everyone would not be so embarrassed.
But this is a group of rabble without any training, and they are just a group of street gangsters with no organizational skills.
To be taken away by such people under the nose is simply a shame for a national team.
Although the kidnapped person was not Su An himself, Lin Xiangqin's security mission was maintained by a security team of four people.
Nowadays, everyone who has a direct relationship with Su An is on the protected list.
However, Su An knows nothing about all this now.
I was even thinking about where to find a reassuring bodyguard.
When Su An arrived at Lin Xiangqin's residence, Lin Xiangqin stood at the door and took a deep breath to adjust her emotions. After taking two long breaths, she opened the door.
The moment the door opened, Lin Xiangqin was still hesitating about what role she should play.
According to normal people's logic, Lin Xiangqin must feel aggrieved and throw herself into Su An's arms at this time.
As the saying goes, a child who cries gets milk.
It is also applicable to male and female friends. Women who can act coquettishly are very lucky.
As long as the coquettish method is used properly, you can get everything you want from a man.
However, the sense of loss after waiting for a day made it difficult for Lin Xiangqin to switch her emotions freely like an actor.
In the end, Lin Xiangqin just forced herself to smile.
When Su An saw the expression on Lin Xiangqin's face, she could only quickly find an excuse and said: "I forgot to bring the charger with me when I returned to my hometown, which caused the phone to automatically shut down due to low battery.
I immediately charged my phone after I returned to the capital, and then I realized what happened to you last night.
Just when I was about to call you, your call came over.
Have you called me many times before but never got through?
This time I went home in such a hurry that I didn’t even bring the charger.
Fortunately, you are safe.
If something happens to you because of this, I will definitely be very sad."
When Su An said this reason, she was actually grateful for not responding to Manager Liang's text message last night.
If I had responded to Manager Liang’s text message last night, then the reason why my phone automatically shut down due to low battery would not be valid.
Even if after replying to the text message, the phone automatically shuts down due to lack of battery, the same excuse is not valid.
Because once they knew what happened to Lin Xiangqin, they didn't even have a phone call, which showed that they didn't care about Lin Xiangqin's life, death, or feelings at all.
Now, Su An gave all the excuses to the fact that her phone was turned off and she couldn't get in touch. Although Lin Xiangqin had suspicions, it was just a suspicion without conclusive evidence.
Although Lin Xiangqin instinctively thought that Su An was making an excuse for Su An's excuse, there was a possibility that it might actually happen without evidence.
If it was true, as Su An said, that the two parties lost contact because they did not carry a charger for their mobile phones, then wouldn't she have wrongly blamed him?
but…
When she just answered the phone, Su Anna's tone of voice...
"When I called you just now, were you inconvenient to answer the phone?
Otherwise, before I call you in the future, I will vibrate you twice with an unfamiliar number.
If it's convenient for you to answer, please call me.
If it's not convenient for you to answer, you don't need to make any reply." Lin Xiangqin very considerately arranged a password for Su An to contact her.
Although this woman was talking about the secret code, she was just trying to find out why Su An was inconvenient to answer the phone just now.
Su An didn't respond at all to what Lin Xiangqin wanted to inquire about, as if she didn't understand.
Instead, he directly changed the topic to work. After all, the value this woman can give to herself, apart from business cooperation, is only the few hours in the evening.
"I heard from Manager Liang that you are in a situation because you are looking for financing. If you are short of money, you can actually talk to me directly.
I dare not say that there are more than one billion, but there are still more than one billion.
I can spend 1 billion to invest in your company, and I will only hold 20% of the shares.
In this way, the valuation of your company can reach 5 billion yuan.
As long as a mobile phone brand achieves a certain sales volume in the market, it is only a matter of time before it goes on the market in the future.
But there is one thing I want to say first.
If the company chooses to go public in the future, it will either choose Hong Kong stocks or the mainland market. Nasdaq will have no chance of your company." The reason why Su An came to see Lin Xiangqin was because she hoped that her company could quickly set up an assembly production line, and
The brand operation team has been formed.
Su An's 1 billion plus the 250 million previously held by Lin Xiangqin, as well as Lin Xiangqin's previous savings, it is initially estimated that it should reach about 1.3 billion.
Expenses for product line upgrades and operating team personnel and social costs are deducted.
The remaining money is nothing more than advertising operations and building sales channels.
For a consumer brand, especially a manufacturer that does not master core technologies, the company's biggest investment is a bottomless pit of advertising expenses every year.
The bigger the advertisement, the more sales can be made.
Especially those brainwashing advertisements, which are played repeatedly on various TV stations every day, making people want to see their brand logo 24 hours a day.
Originally, Lin Xiangqin still had some small complaints in her heart.
But now that he heard that Su An was going to invest in him, his whole body seemed to be enveloped by a rainbow, and the previous gloomy mood immediately dissipated without a trace.
Money can make all the difference, this saying is not just words.
Seeing Lin Xiangqin beaming instantly, she didn't even have any physical contact with him from the moment he opened the door.
And after hearing 1 billion, he actually took the initiative to step forward and lean on Su An's side, so that Su An could feel Lin Xiangqin's good figure.
Seeing how quickly this woman changed her face, Su An immediately continued: "My money is not that easy to get, and I have a series of harsh conditions. You might as well listen to it first.
To be fair, if you want to value your company to RMB 5 billion based on your current capabilities, you can sell 20% of your equity in exchange for an investment of RMB 1 billion. I am the only one in the entire market that can give you such treatment.
Even if other investors are equally optimistic about the future of your company, at this moment they will desperately lower the price and will not give you a valuation of RMB 5 billion."
After Su An said this, he wanted to see Lin Xiangqin's reaction, so he paused.
The investors that Lin Xiangqin has come into contact with in the past two days are indeed as Su An said. Even though some of them are very optimistic about the future of their company, they even shout for billions or billions during the negotiation.
But when they really wanted to confirm this investment, these people seemed to have lost their memory and avoided talking about the billions and billions mentioned before.
If the scale is reduced to tens of millions, or even to one or two billion, these investors will become very interested.
They want to use up to one or two billion to exchange for up to 20% of Lin Xiangqin's equity.
Lin Xiangqin is not interested in this kind of gangster-like investment.
As the second company on the market using Minions technology, one or two hundred million is required in exchange for 20% of the equity. The valuation of this company is too low.
Although it is not a unicorn on the market, even though it uses the same technology as Minion Technology.
But to those investors, her company is just eating the leftovers of some Minion Technology companies.
Giving such a valuation is completely consistent with Lin Xiangqin's positioning in the market.
Because the future of this company is completely like a gamble. The two-month market vacuum period simply means that there are no other competitors in the market except Minion Company.
But for consumers, if they don’t use the pure-blooded Minions v3 mobile phone, there is no reason to buy mobile phones produced by other companies, even if they use the same technology as Minions Technology Company.
Consumers are sometimes very naive. Even if everyone uses the same technology, they will use the original manufacturer's products instead of the second-tier brands from subsidiary manufacturers.
Unless, the huge price advantage makes them tempted.
Otherwise, no consumer will open their wallet at will and use their hard-earned money to buy a sub-brand.
If the price difference was only a few hundred yuan, no one would consider Lin Xiangqin's company.
This resulted in extremely dismal sales performance in the past two months.
While waiting for similar products from other manufacturers to be launched on the market, Lin Xiangqin could gain nothing but failure.
If the valuation is too high when financing now, once it fails within these two months, it means that investors' money has been wasted.
As smart people who want to make money make money, how could they allow their money to be exposed to high-risk investments?
Therefore, 100 million in exchange for 10% of the equity is considered a fair deal for them.
As for whether Lin Xiangqin accepts it, that is her business.
