This year is not over yet, revenue is estimated at around 270 million US dollars, and net profit is expected to be negative 100 million US dollars. This is mainly because this year’s hardware investment is relatively large.
I will introduce it to you in detail in the later fixed assets investment, and equity situation. If you have other information, you can also ask me questions at any time.”
Steve waved his hand, looked at Karl, and said seriously: “I have limited time, and I will let the professionals handle the details later.
I will tell you my acquisition needs, and then we will set a price and get straight to the point, what do you think?”
Karl immediately said: “No problem, we will do it at your pace.”
“Okay.” Steve nodded: “I asked some questions before I came here. Some relatively professional people have evaluated your company’s valuation for me.
It might be around three to four billion US dollars, but you know as well as I do, that valuation is a very fictitious thing.
Even if your valuation reaches 4 billion US dollars, that is only the price when someone else invests in you.
I think your prospects are pretty good your 10% shares guarantee the future, but there is no way you are putting this 400 million US dollars into your pocket, instead it is placed in your company account to develop your business pocket, this is not an investment.
This is a private equity transaction, in which case no one is going to give it a three billion valuation;”
Therefore, Steve added: “But I can give you a condition that you can’t go anywhere.
I will immediately acquire your company for US$5 billion. For this US$5 billion, I can immediately acquire it.” will give you 2.5 billion, and you will immediately become a real billionaire;”
“Then, all of you shareholders will stay here and continue to help me run this company.
I will not give you any additional salary, but I will give you the remaining US$2.5 billion over the next three years.
When the three years are up, if I still need you to stay here, we will renegotiate the terms.
If you can accept it, you can directly enter the acquisition process today. If you can’t accept it, I’ll go back to New York.
This offer is valid for three days. You can contact me. Let’s discuss it with other shareholders. If you change your mind, please contact me within three days.”
