Chapter 729: Chapter 448: The Bigger the Storm, the Pricier the Fish
On the other side, he had waited a full two hours in the reception room.
Tang Yijing’s legs were starting to feel numb when Hu Yifei and the other person finally came out of Gao Yuan’s office.
With a quick glance, seeing the unmistakable joy on their faces, Tang Yijing slightly raised his eyebrows and secretly guessed what confidential matters they had discussed in the room.
Unfortunately, the opponent’s rise was simply too rapid, and even Gao Sheng, a capital giant who infiltrated everywhere, had not yet had time to place an internal intelligence channel...
"Mr. Tang, Chairman Gao invites you in."
"Oh! Okay, thank you!"
...
"Mr. Tang, sorry to keep you waiting for so long."
"Not at all; it was presumptuous of me to visit and disturb Chairman Gao at work. I should be the one apologizing."
Gao Yuan smiled slightly.
He had been waiting outside obediently for two whole hours, a much lower stance than the first time they met.
It was obvious that this change in stance was due to the change in power brought about by strength.
"Mr. Tang, did you come today to talk about the acquisition again?"
"Uh... haha!" Tang Yijing laughed awkwardly.
"Chairman Gao, your insight is truly admirable; the investment vision is impressive. Baiyeji made its name in one battle, and now its growth potential is immeasurable.
We were blind to gold and jade before, and an offer of 10 billion was indeed somewhat abrupt.
However... I did indeed come today to talk about the acquisition." freewёbnoνel.com
"Oh?" Gao Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"Indeed, Chairman Gao, your investment was a stroke of genius. The combination of Baiyeji and Ai Dou New Energy gives investors enormous room for imagination.
The intelligent assistant product was indeed impressive. Our initial judgment was not wrong, and you truly are a visionary and miracle-producing businesswoman.
I imagine your company must have made huge capital investments in technology..."
Uh... massive capital investments?
Haven’t you misunderstood something?
Gao Yuan’s face turned slightly odd, probably knowing what the other party was about to say...
As expected, Tang Yijing smiled slightly, a look of certainty on his face as he continued.
"Even with high-level talents like Professor Zheng joining, whether it is cutting-edge biological technology or AI technology.
The initial stage is a period of high cash burn, and the later stage requires a continuous flow of capital.
This new car model did sell well, but from what I understand, the cash flow generated by this small car alone is barely enough to solve the funding shortage of Ai Dou New Energy, and it can’t provide much money to the parent company in the short term.
So... I imagine your greatest current concern must still be how to raise funds, right?"
First, there were two significant breakthroughs in biotechnology, then "Bajie" made a sensational debut.
This cannot be explained by luck.
The only explanation is that a massive amount of R&D funds were invested...
In fact, Tang Yijing’s thinking was not unusual and was very much in line with normal logic; even the current cash flow of Ai Dou, he estimated accurately.
But he got one thing wrong.
That is the cost of acquiring technology...
"Hmm... in a sense, you are not wrong; I am indeed in great need of money," Gao Yuan said with a smile as she nodded her head.
"You know, wanting to build a large computing center, expanding the AI customer base, and further technological development all mean huge investments.
However... since Mr. Tang brought it up, has there been any progress on the loan issue I mentioned last time from your company’s side?"
Tang Yijing’s mouth twitched.
Why bring up the loan issue again?
Can’t we just talk about acquisition?
"Ahem! Chairman Gao, as I mentioned last time, unless the shipyard issue is resolved, the company’s senior management still has reservations about lending money."
Tang Yijing’s reminder seemed casual.
"Oh, what acquisition are you referring to just now?" Gao Yuan also cooperatively followed up on the topic.
"The 3.6 billion offer you mentioned earlier, our company has agreed to it!"
"Hmm?" Gao Yuan raised an eyebrow.
3.6 billion; that was the price Tang Yijing had offered for those eight large oil tankers during his last visit...
"Of course, our offer to buy those eight oil tankers at a price above the market rate comes with conditions!"
Tang Yijing, skilled in negotiation, naturally would not appear too eager to buy.
"Oh? What conditions?"
"We hope to purchase 10% of the shares of Baiyeji at a valuation of 150 billion."
"emm..."
Seeing Gao Yuan ponder, Tang Yijing began to pitch eagerly.
"Chairman Gao, this price and conditions, I believe, sufficiently demonstrate our sincerity in cooperation.
We are very eager to invest in a high-quality company like Baiyeji that has huge potential for future development.
With your capability and Baiyeji’s technology, along with Gao Sheng’s international resources, our joint forces could elevate Baiyeji to become the next Cretaceous or even go public in Gotham—an attainable goal!
And, this would significantly alleviate your financial stress and allow for further research and expansion.
I believe this would be a perfect win-win situation!"
This time, Tang Yijing had given up on directly acquiring Changqing Biological and instead only sought to control 10% of Baiyeji’s shares.
This was an investment strategy adjustment made by Gao Sheng’s senior management after seeing Gao Yuan’s stance and the value of Baiyeji.
Changqing Biological was Gao Yuan’s stronghold, while Baiyeji was just a holding company of Changqing Biological.
