Chapter 99 Mr. Ma requested debt-for-equity swap, and Longke Academy publicly requested cooperation

Alibaba Group.

Mr. Ma fell into deep thought as he watched the overwhelming news on the Internet about Team Sihai completing their transformation and defeating Sakura Team in a crushing manner.

I think back when the Sihai Team dominated the Dragon Kingdom League A, Boss Ma invested 2 billion to acquire 40% of the equity of the Sihai Team. Later, the Sihai Team declined, and this investment became a debt. Now it has exceeded 3 billion with interest. .

A while ago, Mr. Ma used this debt to force Yang Chen to stop shorting Yihua Entertainment because of Yang Chen's short selling of Yihua Entertainment, but Yang Chen refused.

The dominance shown by the Sihai Team against the Sakura Team can at least ensure that the Sihai Team can dominate Asian football for some time in the future, which means that the business prospects of this team are immeasurable.

After some consideration, Mr. Ma called Yang Chen. He wanted to convert the 2 billion investment with interest into 40% equity of Sihai Sports.

This time, that time.

At that time, the Sihai team had the potential to win the AFC Champions League at best. Now the Sihai team is guaranteed to win the AFC Champions League and can compete for the World Cup championship, so it is unrealistic for Mr. Ma to still want 40% of the equity.

Mr. Ma naturally refused to give up, and he added: "You can't deny the contract I signed with Wang Sihai, right?"

Yang Chen said with a smile: "You asked him to honor the contract you signed with Wang Sihai. Why did you ask me for it? If Wang Sihai legally transferred power to me, I would naturally bear everything. He himself ran away, and he signed Can the things count? I only recognize the debt, not what you signed with him.”

"Then I just want 40% of the shares of Sihai Sports. Please give me a price." Mr. Ma said arrogantly.

Yang Chen smiled and replied: "Mr. Ma is so insistent, I can't be unkind. All previous debts are written off, and if you invest another 20 billion in funds, I can give you 4.9% of the equity."

Mr. Ma was immediately laughed out loud. Originally, Sihai Football Club owed Mr. Ma 3 billion with interest. This debt was written off in one go and another 20 billion was given. This is equivalent to Mr. Ma investing 23 billion in Sihai Football Team, but only in exchange for With a 4.9% stake, this means that Yang Chen’s valuation of the Sihai Football Team is 470 billion?

"Director Yang, aren't you crazy? Are you valuing the Sihai Football Team at 470 billion?" Mr. Ma asked.

Yang Chen said very confidently: "This is a preferential price given because you are Mr. Ma. If other capital wants to invest, I will calculate it at least based on a valuation of 500 billion. Anyway, do you like it or not? Now The Sihai Football Team has a bright future. It is not impossible for this team to represent the Dragon Kingdom in the World Cup and win the championship in the future. The significance of the Sihai Team is not just measurable in terms of money. Is the valuation of only 500 billion very high? Mr. Ma can think about it, but don’t think about it for too long, because I have received a lot of capital in the past few days. I have requested a shareholding. I can only release 10% of the equity, but it will be gone after the sale. Haha..."

Yang Chen hung up the phone and asked Mr. Ma to think about it carefully.

According to the securities law, the maximum shareholding ratio of major shareholders of listed companies with a total share capital of less than 400 million is 75%, and the maximum shareholding ratio of major shareholders of listed companies with a total share capital of more than 400 million is 90%.

If Yang Chen wants Sihai Sports to be listed in the future, he must control his shareholding ratio within 90% and can only sell a part of the shares. Taking advantage of the fact that there is a lot of capital for consultation now, he can ask for more. Anyway, I want it. No, he is not in a hurry to sell.

After thinking about it, Mr. Ma still couldn't resist the temptation to invest in Sihai Sports. It is obviously too high to value Sihai Sports at 470 billion now, but Mr. Ma thought from another perspective. 23 billion is not a big sum of money. Anyway, his money will last in his life. You can’t spend it all, so why not use it to do something that interests you?

The rich people in the Dragon Kingdom all have a dream of playing football, such as Wang Sihai before him, Lao Wang from Yida Group, Mr. Ma from Alibaba, etc.

But without exception, they failed to achieve results.

Now that Sihai Team's ability to guarantee dominance in Asia has been demonstrated, how can Mr. Ma withstand this temptation?

Mr. Ma immediately called Yang Chen again and said straight to the point: "Director Yang, I accept your offer. However, this time I want to invest in Sihai Sports in my own name. I will give you 23.2 billion, and you will give 3.2 billion." If you invest in Ali, you can still get 20 billion and pay off the debts of Sihai Sports and Ali Investment, right?”

Yang Chen smiled and said: "Haha... OK! Just follow Mr. Ma's plan."

As soon as he said it, Mr. Ma immediately contacted the bank and transferred 23.2 billion funds to Sihai Sports' account.

After Sihai Sports received the money, Yang Chen allocated 3.2 billion to clear out the debts of Ali Investment, and another 600 million to clear out the debts of Sihai Sports and several shareholders who held the remaining 9% of the equity.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Sihai Sports and Mr. Ma issued announcements at the same time.

The announcement content is as follows:

Mr. Ma personally invested 23.2 billion in Sihai Sports and obtained 4.9% of the equity, becoming the second largest shareholder of Sihai Sports.

Sihai Sports has repaid all equity-swapped debts of Alibaba Investment and other units and individuals, and the current total remaining debt is 25.88 billion.

Sihai Sports will continue to seek partners and is expected to sell up to 5.1% of its shares.

Soon the news that Mr. Ma personally invested 23.2 billion in Sihai Sports to obtain 4.9% of the equity spread throughout the Internet. After all, Mr. Ma is also a super IP, and his every move is also the focus of netizens.

"Here, Mr. Ma is spending too much money for charity? He got 4.9% of the equity for 23.2 billion. Doesn't that mean that Sihai Sports' current valuation is as high as 470 billion? This is too exaggerated. Well, we just beat a Sakura team, why should we give such a high valuation?”

"You don't understand stock trading at first glance. Stock trading is all about speculation. As long as the expectations are good, the stock price will rise, and the market value will naturally be high. Let me ask you what are your expectations for the Sihai team now? Is it a guarantee of the AFC Champions League? Can we compete for the World Cup? With this expectation, is the valuation of 470 billion still high? You have no idea what a World Cup championship means to the football and sports fields of Longguo.”

"Let's put it this way, if you can lead the Dragon Country team to win the World Cup, you will be a death row prisoner. They will release you immediately, and the people across the country will have no objections. Director Yang only used more than 20 days of special training to make him look like trash. The Sihai team defeated the doping-using Sakura team in a crushing manner. Wouldn’t it be easy for them to win the World Cup in two years? By then, they will be able to count the money from various advertising endorsements and commercial sponsorships with cramps. "< br>


"Mr. Ma is definitely not stupid. He dares to accept this valuation, which means he feels that he will not lose money. As long as the Sihai team can win the World Cup, it will be logical for Sihai Sports to go public. At that time, the market value must not be pushed up by those fans. Go for trillions. Just Mr. Ma’s investment, not counting the dividends from advertising sponsorships, can at least double the market value.”

……

As mentioned before, Mr. Ma himself is a super IP, and his investment gave other capitals strong confidence. Capitals that were still hesitant at first accepted Yang Chen's offer based on a valuation of 500 billion.

But here comes the problem. They didn't accept it immediately before, but now they accept it at the same time. Who should Yang Chen give it to?

When everyone wants to buy something, public bidding is the best solution.

Yang Chen asked Sihai Sports President Chen Yulong to notify all interested capitals to come to Jiangcheng State Guesthouse at 8pm on Friday to participate in the equity bidding.

……

The first wave of 300,000 bottles of Sihai Ice Spring was released, and scientific testing and consumer reputation came out one after another.

What everyone is most concerned about is the test results of the School of Life Sciences of the Long Academy of Sciences.

Early in the morning, the Academy of Life Sciences announced the results of their repeated testing.

The Sihai Ice Spring contains a variety of trace elements and a new substance. It is the MicroRNA effect of this new substance on the human body that changes the expression of genes in cells, thereby achieving the effect of quickly restoring and enhancing physical strength.

MicroRNA plays a special role in regulating protein production in the human body. Currently, the Academy of Life Sciences is working hard to study the effect of MicroRNA in cancer treatment. Sihai Health has actually commercialized it, which shows that they have mastered this technology very skillfully. .

According to the research results of all genetic experts from the Academy of Life Sciences of the Dragon Academy of Sciences, it is inferred that the unknown ingredients in the Sihai Ice Spring will only affect the genes of the people of the Dragon Kingdom and will not be effective on the genes of other races. In other words, the Sihai Ice Spring will only affect the genes of the people of the Dragon Kingdom. The effect of increasing physical strength is not effective for other races.

The School of Life Sciences of Long Academy of Science and Technology has publicly requested cooperation from Sihai Big Health, hoping that both parties can cooperate in the field of MicroRNA and develop treatments for cancer in the future.

In real life, ordinary people want to be registered as experts when seeing a doctor, which shows the status of authoritative experts in the hearts of ordinary people.

This test report and the public request for cooperation from the Dragon Academy directly made all the people of the Dragon Kingdom feel completely at ease about Sihai Bingquan.

On Weibo, the "Yang Chen VS Smith" section has been updated.

Round 3:

The gene products of Smith Institute and Coca-Cola have serious side effects, which can cause abnormal red blood cells in the human body and turn them into "sweaty BMWs". Now they have been ordered to be recalled by the market supervision department, and refunds will be made to compensate consumers who have been affected. Treatment and other expenses.

Sihai Bingquan has passed the test of experts from the Dragon Academy of Sciences, proving that it not only contains a variety of trace elements, but also contains certain substances that only affect the genes of people in the Dragon Kingdom. It is this substance that allows people in the Dragon Kingdom to drink Sihai Bingquan. Increase physical strength.

Summary: Yang Chen wins.

Comment section.

"With the affirmation from all the genetic experts of Longke Academy, you can drink it with confidence now. But I have drank more than a dozen bottles, and now I feel that my strength is indeed much stronger. Before, I couldn't even do a standard pull-up. , now it’s no problem to make dozens or twenty of them. Only when you use it yourself can you know about Sihaibing. "How awesome is Quan?" "It's so awesome. It only has an effect on the genes of people from the Dragon Kingdom. It has no effect on people of other races. Doesn't that mean that in the future, our athletes from the Dragon Kingdom can cheer for athletes from other countries?" But not? Haha... Longguo Sports is about to take off.”

"Yang Chen is really awesome. A product, a new substance. Where did Wang Sihai find such a talent? This is his greatest achievement in his life."

"Guess whether Smith will fulfill his bet and throw away his Nobel trophy. I guess not. Foreigners are all kings of oral pleasure. It is even harder to make them fulfill their promises."

……

Some are happy and some are sad.

Tang Jian, the president of Coca-Cola Longguo District, is almost worried to death. The major distributors are returning not only Superman functional drinks, but also a large number of Coca-Cola, Ice Cream, Minute Maid, Sprite, Fanta and other flagship products.

Beverage products all have a shelf life. After going back and forth like this, it is almost certain that this batch of products will be backlogged in the warehouse waiting to be scrapped. The loss will be too great.

This loss is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is that this incident will seriously affect the brand reputation.

As an old rival, PepsiCo took action at this time.

Guo Xiang, president of Pepsi-Cola Longguo District, immediately spent 1 million funds to bribe real consumers and self-media accounts to publish videos denouncing Coca-Cola.

At the same time, Pepsi-Cola officially announced a major promotion, offering discounts to major channel dealers, and also discounted and promoted in the terminal market.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

At present, the Longguo Cola market is almost only Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola. Almost all the market lost by Coca-Cola will be taken away by Pepsi-Cola.

Sometimes business wars are like this. You don't need to do anything. You just need to wait for your opponent to make a mistake. If you seize the opportunity of your opponent's mistake, you can win with one blow.

In the evening, the news from Long Kingdom reached Bald Eagle's house and spread on the Internet. Netizens all over the world knew what happened.

On YouTube, the comment section of the match video between Sihai Team and Sakura Team went crazy.

Sakura Nation netizen Sekiya Miracle: Damn it, this is not fair. The Shihai team used technology openly and it would be disgraceful to win. We were completely fooled by Coca-Cola and Smith Research Institute. Some of their genetic potions made our players uncomfortable, so they performed so poorly. Coca-Cola and the Smith Institute must take responsibility for this, issue a public apology immediately, and pay us a trillion eagles for the damage to our reputation. Finally, we asked Smith to honor his bet and throw away the two Nobel trophies in his hands.

Lee Chung-kee, a netizen from Nanjing Baseball: Don't be too outrageous, Sakura people. Your players' skills are completely crushed by the Sihai team. Anyone who is not blind can see it. Your failure has nothing to do with technology, it is purely a matter of being crushed technically. It would be different if our South Baseball team takes the field. We have many players who play in Europe and can definitely defeat the Sihai team easily. Also, how dare you, a colonial country, to demand 1 trillion yuan in compensation from your host's multinational corporations and meritorious research institutes. I'm afraid you forgot to bring your brain back home from get off work and left it at the adult film shooting site. In addition, should Smith make good on his bet and win those two Nobel trophies?

Bald Eagle netizen Chris Kidd: Has Dragon Kingdom’s genetic technology developed to such terrifying levels? It is possible to develop technological water that is only effective for the genes of people from the Dragon Kingdom. Even if people from other countries know that they have technological water, there is nothing they can do. Current technology cannot detect that their technological water contains banned ingredients. In the future, in all sports that require physical competition, the people of the Dragon Kingdom will win the first, second and third place. It is really unfair to other countries.

Amy Han, a netizen from Asan Kingdom: In terms of genetic technology, if we from Asan Kingdom are ranked second, no other country would dare to be ranked first. Ten years ago, we already had a genetic potion that was only effective for people from Asan Kingdom. Otherwise, how could everyone in Asan Kingdom be so strong and healthy? The Dragon Kingdom has done a great job. They will be able to catch up with our current technological level in another ten years. I hope that the researchers from the Bald Eagle family are willing to admit defeat and lose those two Nobel trophies, so that we will not look down on you.

……

It can be seen that netizens all over the world are waiting for Smith to fulfill his bet and throw away the two Nobel trophies he is proud of.

At this time, Coca-Cola headquarters.

CEO Murphy was so angry that he smashed everything on his desk, including the laptop he had just bought.

Coca-Cola spent nearly 500 million eagle coins on the Superman project, but now it is faced with the dilemma of refunding one for three in the Dragon Country market, paying huge fines, recalling products, accepting returns from channel distributors, and severely damaging its brand reputation.

As we all know, the reputation of a brand is more important than anything else. It is acceptable to have wasted investments, product recalls, etc. It is nothing more than losing money, but once the reputation of the brand is damaged or even spurned by consumers, it is over.

The angry Murphy personally brought people to the Smith Institute to find Michael Smith and demanded an explanation. Coca-Cola could not be allowed to bear all the consequences.

At this time, Smith had completely lost his energy. He never imagined that things would develop to this situation.

Originally he wanted to rectify the Nobel Prize, but ended up vindicating Yang Chen by throwing the Nobel trophy.

The entire institute has repeatedly tested the Sihai Bingquan shipped by air to confirm that the test report from the School of Life Sciences of the Dragon Academy of Sciences is accurate.

The content of the bet between Smith and Yang Chen is to compete on the genetic achievements of both parties. The Four Seas Ice Spring can only affect the genes of the people of the Dragon Kingdom, and will not affect the genes of other races. This result is powerful enough, and it can win a Nobel Prize. Medical Awards for Scientific Research Achievements.

Andris, a bald eagle genetic weapons expert who has been working on microRNA for half his life, no longer needs to feel upset and regretful that he did not win the Nobel Prize, because his scientific research results in microRNA cannot be compared with Yang Chen's results.

Even if Yang Chen doesn't like the Nobel Prize, it's not his turn to win the prize for his research results on microRNA.

Yang Chen accidentally did a great thing and "solved" Andris' regret of not getting the Nobel Prize after struggling for most of his life.

Smith was still in a daze when Murphy rushed in angrily.

"You'd better give me a reasonable explanation now. Why did this happen? Your 15 years of research results have such big flaws. Why didn't you find it? I now seriously suspect that you used false experimental data to deceive us. I request You bear all our losses, totaling 10 billion eagle coins!" Murphy pointed at Smith and roared.

Smith's colleagues stepped forward to persuade Murphy to calm down. No one wanted to end up in this situation. This was a complete accident. If they really knew that this technology had such serious side effects, they would never make fun of their reputation.

But Murphy didn't listen to this. He insisted that the Smith Institute bear all the losses of Coca-Cola Company at a fixed price of 10 billion eagle coins.

Smith sighed, and then said to Murphy: "You go to court and sue me. If the judge decides that I should compensate you 10 billion eagle coins, I will pay it without hesitation. Other than that, I will not have anything against you." Means. Please leave now, you are not welcome here!”

The Coca-Cola Company is very powerful, but the status of the Smith Institute in the Bald Eagle family is much higher than that of Coca-Cola. After all, the partners of the Smith Institute are all big brands, and they also have military partnerships. Murphy wants to scare Smith into losing money. Purely whimsical.

Security personnel forcibly removed Murphy and his group from Smith's office.

Smith looked at the Nobel trophy next to him, his eyes full of unwillingness and reluctance.

Is it really going to fall?

These were the Nobel trophies he was most proud of in his life. Dropping them would be equivalent to destroying his belief in life. He really couldn't do it.

Smith called Yang Chen and proposed to cash in the bet with money or other methods, as long as he didn't drop the Nobel trophy.

But what Yang Chen wants is to break the superstition of the Nobel Prize, so how can he accept money or other methods to honor the bet?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Smith, I don't accept any other way. You must honor the bet between us and throw away the two Nobel trophies in your hands. Of course, you can also pretend to be dead and not honor it, and so will I. I can't do anything to you. It's your choice, that's my attitude." Yang Chen said with a smile.

Smith immediately replied: "There is no way I won't honor my bet, otherwise how will I meet people? What a negative impact I will have on the Nobel Prize and the Bald Eagle Country. I just want to find other ways to replace the Nobel Prize." Just honoring the bet. I hope Mr. Yang can help me, okay?”

"If nothing happens, just hang up. I have to go to bed." Yang Chen said and hung up the phone.

Smith looked at the phone in a daze for a while, then sighed and stood up and walked towards the Nobel trophy.

Smith called his assistant in and ordered: "Use your mobile phone to record it, I'm going to throw the Nobel trophy."

The assistant immediately hugged the trophy and persuaded with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Smith, no! These two trophies are an affirmation of your scientific research achievements in this life. You can't drop them."

Smith sighed and said: "I am a human being first, and a scientific researcher second. If I am willing to bet and refuse to admit defeat, how will I be a human being in the future? How should people around the world view me, the Bald Eagle Country, and the Nobel Prize?" This actually helped Yang Chen prove that the Nobel Prize is nothing, after all, the person who gets it doesn’t even have the most basic credibility.”

The assistant understood what Smith meant. He reluctantly let go of the trophy, slowly took out his phone and turned on the video function, and started filming Smith and the trophy.

Smith said to the camera: "Hello, friends all over the world. I am Michael Smith, director of the Smith Institute of Bald Eagle Country. I lost my bet with Yang Chen, chairman of Longguo Sihai Group. I promise Mr. Bell, the Nobel committee, and the real scientific researchers around the world say sorry, I have to honor my bet and throw away my two Nobel trophies.”

Smith picked up the two trophies, glanced at them reluctantly, and then threw them to the floor...
