Chapter 139: Chapter 100 5 Billion US Dollars_3
Yan Fei had just reviewed the data of the world’s major VC companies, and he knew that IDG Company was a famous venture capital firm from The United States of America. He snorted coldly, making himself look more imposing, and said, “Your IDG Company is a The United States of America enterprise, and The United States of America is engaging in a Trade War with us, China. You have already restricted Chinese enterprises’ investment and acquisition plans in The United States of America, so we won’t consider your investment. I’m sorry.”
That Grant was gearing up for a lengthy argument, ready to threaten and seduce, forcibly acquiring a stake in Dream Technology, but before he could articulate his plan, Yan Fei had already rejected him. According to convention, it was now time for him to demonstrate the aggressive nature of The United States of America enterprise and threaten Yan Fei, but upon facing Yan Fei’s fierce and threatening gaze, he felt a chill and swallowed his prepared words, sitting down in silence.
Yan Fei utilized a domineering aura he had slowly mastered to intimidate IDG’s representative away, tasting the sweetness of dominance for the first time.
Another Caucasian middle-aged man stood up, saying, “Chairman Yan, hello, I am Zeppelin Hamilton from Sequoia Capital. We at Sequoia Capital are very optimistic about your Dream Foods…”
Yan Fei didn’t let him finish speaking and interrupted, “As I just said, I will not do business with companies from The United States of America, and Sequoia Capital also belongs to The United States of America firm, so I am sorry to disappoint you.”
To his surprise, Zeppelin was not intimidated by Yan Fei’s imposing manner and said, “Mr. Yan, won’t you listen to my plan first?”
Yan Fei stroked his chin, replying, “Alright, I’ll give you this opportunity to explain your plan.”
The frightened representative from IDG Company, Grant, now regretted deeply. Why was he scared stiff by Yan Fei? He hadn’t even had the chance to present his company’s plan before giving up. If this Sequoia Capital guy seized the opportunity, he might succeed in acquiring a stake and getting the lion’s share, which made him rather anxious.
Zeppelin said, “Mr. Yan, pardon my frankness, but although your company is doing very well in China, entering the International Market is fraught with difficulty. Thus, you must seek allies, and we are your natural Collaborators. With our help, your Products will immediately enter the International Market, and at that point, your company’s sales data will reach astronomical numbers. It’s important to know that Sequoia Capital owns a considerable stake in many internationally renowned trading companies, and with their help, your company’s sales will increase by at least fivefold. Of course, this increase in sales is predicated on us becoming Strategic Collaborators and acquiring a stake in your esteemed company.”
Yan Fei sneered. This Zeppelin was trying to hoodwink him. His company had already attracted a great number of worldly renowned trading companies, all wanting to Distribute Weight Loss Cookies worldwide. Should he wish, the cookies could immediately be marketed globally without the need for the backing of Sequoia Capital, nor would he have to pay the price of being forcibly acquired by others. His Weight Loss Cookies were a rare product, irreplaceable—a typical seller’s market.
However, Yan Fei did not immediately expose Zeppelin’s words. He asked, “Then, according to Sequoia Capital’s Plan, what is your valuation of Dream Technology?”
Seeing Yan Fei relent slightly, Zeppelin’s eyes lit up with elation. He promptly took out a document, handed it to Yan Fei, and said, “Mr. Yan, this document is our comprehensive assessment of your company based on the technological content of your Products, Brand Image, marketing strategies, and more. We have valued your company at 50 billion US Dollar. Therefore, our VC Company will inject 20 billion US Dollar for a 40% stake in your esteemed company.”
