Reborn in 1991, helping dad become the richest man

"Mr. Tang, haha, with my small family and business, it's really a bit..."

Wang Wei didn't say the price directly. Instead, he nodded and made a sound with a silly smile.

Tang Xionghua smiled and said, "It's not small. You started your business in 1993, and now your company's influence has gradually expanded beyond the province. Of course, I'm not optimistic about your development method. Franchise stores, with more people and no constraints, will only lead to more problems later!"

When Tang Xionghua said this, Wang Wei smiled bitterly.

He knew the bitter consequences of this.

But there is no way!

It is difficult to attract investment in industrial enterprises, and at the moment he is actually just learning from Shentong.

Shentong is now expanding its business nationwide through franchise stores, and it cannot be too slow.

So even if you know the disadvantages of franchising, you have no money in your pocket, so you have no choice but to do it.

Tang Xionghua looked at him, then raised three fingers and said, "How about this: 50 million RMB for a 30% stake. I estimate your current SF Express is worth 150 million RMB. This is after calculations by my company's professional appraisers, and I've increased the valuation by 20%."

Tang Xionghua looked at him and smiled, "I think you should be satisfied with this valuation!"

“Satisfied, satisfied, absolutely satisfied!”

Wang Wei nodded quickly.

Nonsense, aren't you satisfied with this?

In fact, before coming here, he had already made plans that it would be enough to get 20 million in financing this time.

As for the shares, he actually didn't plan to give so much.

In his imagination, he was actually prepared to take out 20%.

But now Tang Xionghua wanted 30%, and he really couldn't refuse the price he offered, so he didn't hesitate any longer.

Nod directly.

Wang Wei only had the valuation of 100 million in mind, but now it has been valued at 150 million. At this price, is it excessive to give an extra percentage of shares?

No, not at all.

He can even benefit from more than just valuation.

Before coming, he had even prepared himself. If Tang Xionghua lowered the price of his company, for example, to 15 million and took 20% of the shares, he would agree directly for the sake of Tang Xionghua.

After all, just the name Tang Xionghua will probably make the future much easier.

There is no way around it. To this day, Tang Xionghua's name has this attached value.

You know, in today's society, there are so many people who want to work in Tang Xionghua's company but can't get the chance. Now if he can put up a sign that Tang Xionghua has invested in his company, and then use the 50 million to expand.

He could already imagine a bright future.

I don’t know how many people want to join my company, and at the same time, I’m afraid that there will be even more people waving money to invest in my company.

This is the Tang Xionghua effect.

This effect cannot be bought with money.

"Well, that's settled then, but I'll tell you in advance, I won't be investing in your express delivery company."

"Uh……"

These words made Wang Wei's smile stop.

However, Tang Xionghua's expression remained unchanged. He continued with a faint smile as he said, "I know that if I wanted a controlling stake in your company, you wouldn't be comfortable with it and would probably reject it outright. That's why I didn't make this request."

“You do your thing, and I’ll just be my investor, retaining my equity and the rights corresponding to it.

But after all, I don’t have a controlling stake, so I will invest in other express delivery companies!”

After a pause, Tang Xionghua continued, "I think the future of the express delivery industry is quite interesting. The point is, I will also need express delivery in the future.

I need to be able to have a real say in this industry, rather than being squeezed out if the industry opposes me one day!"

"Mr. Tang, this day will definitely not come!" Wang Wei said hurriedly. Tang Xionghua smiled and shook his head: "When I do things, I don't rely on guesswork, but on strength, my own strength. Besides, your words don't count.

So I'm investing in you, but I have one request: before you go public, you're not allowed to disclose my investment information!"

"Uh..." Wang Wei suddenly became a little anxious.

The biggest benefit of Tang Xionghua’s investment is to use Tang Xionghua’s banner, but now Tang Xionghua doesn’t allow us to do so.

At this time, he finally understood why Tang Xionghua paid him such a huge premium.

It’s not because I love myself!

But the conditions are waiting here.

"Mr. Tang, can't we discuss this? I can compromise and give you a larger stake, say 40%, and you can invest in me only. Furthermore, you can disclose your investment information. This way, the total investment amount remains unchanged at 50 million."

This was a decision Wang Wei made after a strong inner struggle.

He actually has a very strong sense of self-esteem and a strong desire for control. If he gives up 40% of the shares, then the amount won't be much less than his.

However, Tang Xionghua still shook his head: "If that's the case, I can let you reveal my investment information, but I can't just invest in you."

Tang Xionghua looked at him with a smile: "To be honest, you founded this company in 1993, and I founded Wanhua, and even I, Yanglai, was founded in the second half of 1992.

I know you might be thinking, "I had more capital than you did back then," but from my perspective, if I had developed the express delivery industry the same way you did, there would definitely not be another private express delivery company in China today.

"I..." Wang Wei opened his mouth to refute, but the person opposite him was Tang Xionghua. Thinking about the other party's life and legend, he couldn't utter the words in his mouth.

He had to admit it.

Tang Xionghua continued, "So, you are the actual person in charge of the company. You are the controller, operator, and founder."

Tang Xionghua smiled and leaned back: "I have never thought about actually getting involved in the express logistics industry, so I didn't say I wanted to buy your company, and I didn't think about starting one myself.

I just invest.

Invest in you and your company, and may also invest in other people and other express delivery companies in the future.

Frankly speaking, I'm worried that you might ruin the company in the future, so I'm investing in multiple areas. I'm not afraid of losing some money, but in this industry, as I just said, I need to have a big enough voice here."

Wang Wei was silent.

To be honest, Tang Xionghua's secretary called him last night and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

He is only 28 years old this year, a young man by definition, and a young man who takes Tang Xionghua as his life idol.

Only he knows how excited he is to meet his idol.

But now, when he was negotiating business with his idol, he found it was too difficult. He had no initiative at all.

Of course, it is not shameful to say this, and people may even envy him for being able to do business with the richest man Tang.

But now, the situation before him is that he really wants Tang Xionghua to invest solely in his own express delivery company instead of supporting others.

Because that way, he can really see a bright future, even if the shares are a little smaller.

He could still distinguish between 50% of the shares being worth 10 billion and 90% of the shares being worth only 1 billion.

However, just as Tang Xionghua said, he really had no way to convince Tang Xionghua.

He had no words to refute the reasons Tang Xionghua gave or the words he said.

Indeed, he is now confident that he can make SF Express stronger, but what about the future, if there are other disruptors?

If his SF Express declines and Tang Xionghua only invested in him, then Tang Xionghua will have no voice in this industry in the future.

So, after thinking for a long time, Wang Wei nodded.

"Then we will follow the plan you just mentioned, Mr. Tang. I will give you 40% of the shares!

Wang Wei did not choose 30%. As mentioned before, the effect of Tang Xionghua's three words was worth that 10% of the shares.

"Haha!" Tang Xionghua laughed.

“It’s a pleasure to work with you!

“Happy to work with!

Looking at the hand extended by Tang Xionghua, Wang Wei felt a mixture of bitterness and joy in his heart, and the smile on his face was a little helpless.

However, he immediately calmed down.
