Chapter 257

    "Now that the coastal power plant''s work has been straightened out, it''s time for us to start equity reform


    In the office, Arthur smiles and looks at Angela and Corina sitting opposite. He taps his finger on the desk and continues to smile: "I believe the outside world has received the news that we are promoting the listing of power plants. It''s time to release some equity to attract some investors."


    "So, boss, how much valuation are you going to pay and how much equity are you going to release?" As CEO of the power plant, Corina asked in particular.


    "On the basis of the original plant scale of 750 million pounds, I only retain 50% of the shares, 20% of the IPO shares and 30% of the remaining shares. In addition to leaving 5% of the shares for internal digestion of the power plant, the remaining 25% will be used for external sales."


    Arthur put forward the plan that had been planned for a long time. Although his plan is a little taken for granted, he has just spent 400 million pounds to buy the power plant. In a flash, he is trying to attract investors with double the price of appreciation in less than a month. He is stealing money. I''m afraid that when the news is released, he will become the target of ridicule.


    Will be ridiculed as a fool who wants money crazy!


    Yes, Arthur is crazy about money, but he absolutely believes that some people will be willing to pay for it.


    Just as Arthur imagined, when she heard the number she quoted, Corina was speechless. Does the boss want to sell shares at this price? This kind of price will undoubtedly scare away the sincere investors. Nothing else, it''s too expensive!


    "Boss, is this price..."


    "Too expensive?" Before Corinne finished, Arthur asked with a smile. He looked at Corina, whose face was puzzled and nodded. But before Corina continued to ask questions, Arthur looked at Angie and said with a smile, "do you think it''s expensive, too?"


    Angela smiles and shakes her head, takes a look at Corina, who is full of doubts. She smiles at Arthur and says, "this valuation is a normal valuation. With the recovery of the major global economies, the high-quality assets that have been underestimated for various reasons will usher in a rebound period.


    It is not a problem to evaluate the scale of the plant when it was built, and investors who are really interested in it will not care. On the contrary, only 25% of the shares sold to the outside world may not satisfy some people''s appetite. "


    "On this point, I can''t help it. I have to hold the absolute half. I don''t want to be occupied by others and eventually be kicked out by those investors. Therefore, absolute control is fundamental and there is no discussion on this matter!"


    Arthur looked serious, sharp eyed, looking at Angela and Corina, and said firmly.


    The game between founders and capital is not just a topic. The founders of many well-known enterprises in the world have not escaped the fate of being kicked out by capital.


    Many entrepreneurs or entrepreneurs, when they need to expand their scale with the help of external capital, will face the result of dilution of equity, or even be kicked out by investors. For the founder of an enterprise or product, the most sad thing is to be swept out of the company.


    Angela and Corina look at each other and fully understand the concerns of the young boss. After all, entrepreneur Yu uses capital to make the company grow, and capital may also use the loopholes in the ownership structure to make the founder out of the game. Both of them have cooperative relationship and game.


    However, as the person in charge of an enterprise, when the enterprise develops to a certain stage, how to define his own role, and how to have the right of discourse and decision-making are not in place for most entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs.


    If a start-up company wants to expand and develop rapidly, it must introduce capital. As long as financing, it will dilute the founder''s control over the enterprise. This is also the fact and price that entrepreneurs must accept.


    Especially for the coastal power plant, which has just been acquired, it is urgent to carry out equity reform and strive for listing. In addition, the boss is so young. Once the financing is started, a group of hungry wolves may be introduced. If we can''t occupy the absolute initiative and be swallowed up by the food, it is not impossible.


    Arthur, who knows these drawbacks, will not make such a fatal mistake. As long as he holds the absolute half of the shares, no one can turn the sky!


    "In addition to the local energy companies in the UK, the heads of some investment companies from other countries will also attend this evening''s reception, especially the investment institutions from China, Australia and Canada who are very interested in British energy and basic industries.


    Maybe we can disclose the news in advance and see their reaction. To be honest, the time is really too short, which makes us lose a lot of preparation time. Once we enter the negotiation table, if we want to achieve a cooperation agreement, we must make concessions. " Angela frowned at Arthur and said helplessly.


    "It''s normal for us to make concessions in terms of price. The valuation of 750 million pounds is just what we think and naturally won''t be recognized by others. However, even if it is 600 million pounds, it''s a business that can make sure that we can make no loss. In this way, our capital, Barclays Bank, will put down its worries and worries."For the coastal power plant, which was obtained by borrowing chicken and egg, Arthur still regarded it as a prying board, and used a series of operations to pry his ambition in the energy industry.


    "Yes." Understood what the young boss meant, Angela and Corina nodded at the same time.


    "Angela, do you have any new trends in the Muzi family consortium in Heli river that I want you to pay attention to?" When Angela mentioned other guests at tonight''s reception, Arthur immediately flashed into his mind the Muzi rich man who was just a businessman.


    "Boss, the result of the investigation is really as you guessed. If we hadn''t made a quick enough acquisition and signed a letter of intent with the original coastal power plant, we might have met this muzijia consortium as a competitor, and the feldspar group under their family really wanted to eat the 49% equity of coastal power plant.


    It''s just that when we started, they just had a meeting to study, and then, after we announced the full acquisition of the coastal power plant, they did not seem to give up. They had called the coastal power plant for consultation. " Angela said, turning her eyes to Corina.


    "There was consultation, but at the beginning, all the attention and energy of the whole company was spent on the boss''s negotiation team, and they didn''t pay attention to it. They thought they just wanted to get business information." Collina explained.


    "Well." Arthur nodded his head solemnly. He was lucky this time. He didn''t meet muzicheng, which is rich and generous. Otherwise, he would be crushed. However, knowing that this Muzi city will buy almost half of Britain in the future, as long as Arthur''s energy plan remains unchanged, sooner or later, it will meet. If there is no pressure, it is almost impossible.


    "Will people from the feldspar group also attend the reception tonight?"


    “。。。 It''s really not clear. " Corina looks at Angela, sees Angela shaking her head, and then says.


    "Ask clearly." Arthur looked at Corina and said.


    "OK, I''ll check it out in a minute."
