Chapter 587 Who doesn’t have a dream of flying?
Tang Xionghua didn't give him another chance to speak, and continued with a smile:
"Old Bear, let's not talk about this anymore. Actually, when I mentioned the financing navigation map today, it was just a casual remark. At present, I only have the idea of preparing to put forward the navigation map.
If you are willing to finance navigation maps separately, then we can continue to discuss, otherwise, let’s talk about something else! ”
"Mr. Tang, this is just a simple navigation map. It may not satisfy our headquarters!"
Xiong Xiaoge also expressed his attitude, or rather, they were actually coming for Xiong Chen.
Navigation map is just an extra.
This also made Tang Yichen on the opposite side fall into deep thought.
Tang Yichen had to admit that there were indeed people in this world who had sharp eyes and great courage.
I can actually see Xiong Chen's future potential at this time.
Even at this time, I still believe in the future of the Internet. However, the Tang family is not short of money.
So, in the end, under Tang Xionghua's leadership, the topic was diverted to other places, and the call ended after just a few minutes of chatting.
"What do you think?"
After hanging up the phone, Tang Xionghua looked at Tang Yichen and asked with a smile.
Tang Yichen replied: "The people behind this are very powerful. To be honest, if I were living in this era, looking at it from today's perspective, I would not believe that the internet, which is currently in decline around the world, can still have a bright future.
Even if I believe there will still be a market for it in the future, I absolutely don't believe that its future height will allow me to value it at 1 billion yuan and still get a huge return."
"Haha! You kid, you also know how to be humble!" Tang Xionghua laughed.
Tang Yichen rolled his eyes at this: "Dad, when have I ever been so arrogant?"
"You may be arrogant, but you've always been the one who has everything under control and sees through everything. This time, it must have been beyond your expectations!"
"Uh... is it that obvious?" Tang Yichen was stunned.
"What do you think?"
Tang Xionghua added this with a smile.
This made Tang Yichen fall into deep self-reflection.
Afterwards, Tang Yichen seemed to have to admit that there did seem to be a little bit.
However, this cannot be blamed on him, after all, he is a reborn person!
How can you treat everything with a normal mind when you come to the table with clairvoyance and foresight?
Fortunately, this problem only occurs when I am alone with my father.
That night, while the father and son were chatting, around eight o'clock, Tang Xionghua received calls from the heads of Carlyle and 3I Asia Pacific.
Among them, 3I clearly apologized and expressed its current concerns about the Internet industry.
At the same time, he said that it would be possible only if Huaxing’s shares were included.
Well, in other words, they also want to add navigation maps as a bonus. This idea is even more beautiful than IDG's, but it is naturally impossible.
The only thing that surprised Tang Xionghua and his son was that Carlyle actually agreed and expressed its intention to acquire shares without making any other requirements.
Of course, the valuation is not high.
Tang Xionghua proposed 500 million MiGold, but they could only give an estimated value of 200 million MiGold.
Regarding this, Tang Xionghua said that he could send people later and the two sides would continue negotiations.
It is indeed quite generous to be able to give a valuation of 200 million MiG now.
After all, they don't have any other conditions.
In fact, Tang Xionghua himself thought that 500 million MiG was impossible.
Three hundred million MiGold, or even two hundred million MiGold, actually meets the psychological expectations of Tang Xionghua and his son to accept financing now.
……
At night, lying in bed, after everything has quieted down.
Tang Yichen thought about it carefully and began to understand why Carlyle was different from others.
Because Carlyle and other capitals are essentially somewhat different.
There is indeed a lot of capital in the world, but no capital has a background like Carlyle.
The President’s Club isn’t called that for nothing.
Although the current capital controllers of Carlyle will not be these retired senior officials.
But with them behind Carlyle, it is indeed easier for it to obtain some information than for others.
Indeed, in the eyes of other investors, navigation maps may not see a way to make a profit.
But in the eyes of those behind Carlyle, from another perspective, they can see the necessity of this thing.
This is an infrastructure project. Even if it doesn't make money in the future, it will definitely not lose money.
Even if other Internet industries don't work out, this one still has great potential.
It can be applied in many industries and will make all aspects of life easier, such as car navigation. In that case, you can directly collect the fees from the car operator.
All I can say is that navigation maps will not be profitable on their own in the future, but will rely on support from other companies that have demand for navigation maps.
In this case, as long as it can survive and there is a need for its existence, the stock price will definitely not be low after it goes public.
Therefore, it is indeed possible to start with the seed round.
After figuring this out, Tang Yichen also gained a deeper understanding of Carlyle Capital.
Sure enough, those old hands, even if they retire and enter the capital market, are definitely not easy to deal with!
On the 2nd, Tang Xionghua set off for Shenzhen. At the same time, Tang Yichen also arranged for the family company's lawyers and accountants to go to Shanghai.
He had secured the purchase of the five houses in Boss Niu's building, and the houses were vacated.
In other words, Tang Yichen can go over to sign the contract and pay the remaining balance.
Of course, this house is pre-sold, so you can't move in for the time being. If you want to move in, it will take at least one or two years, just like the house I bought in Shenzhen before, which is almost ready for delivery now.
On the 3rd, a post that was considered an advertisement was pinned to the top of the Xiongchen Forum again.
"Want to fly in the sky? Feitian Driving School invites you. For details, please click...
Xiongchen Forum has never accepted advertising posts, except for the pinned link from Qifei Literature Network.
After all, this is our home.
And now, another top advertisement has appeared, and this advertisement is so tempting.
Who doesn’t have a dream of flying?
There is a principle in human nature that what you cannot get is the best.
Humans don’t have wings, so they yearn for the sky even more.
It can be said that almost everyone who sees this advertisement will be tempted to click on it.
And click in.
If you take a look at the content, you will immediately know why the post says so.
"Woca, flying a plane?"
"How can you be so fast-paced? Two years ago, I just switched from a bicycle to a motorcycle, and now I haven't even traded my motorcycle for a car, and now you're telling me I can fly a plane!"
"I did a search and found pictures of gliders online. They look so small and crude. Is it really as safe as described in the post?"
"It's the same as a three-wheeled motorcycle, but I have to say, I'm moved!"
"I'm also interested, but I want to ask, can the registration fee be reduced? Also, why are there restrictions on enrollment?"
"Money is not a problem. What I want to ask is why the enrollment scope can only be in Chuzhou, and the flight airspace will be restricted to southern Anhui in the future."
"I also want to ask, are we discriminatory against people from Beijing? Why can only people from Chuzhou sign up?"
The driving school under Tang Yichen Glider Company was officially named Feitian.
At the same time, after this post was published online, it immediately sparked heated discussion.
However, the restrictions on enrollment have caused dissatisfaction among many netizens from other parts of the country.
Even though the post explained that this is currently a pilot program, enrollment can only be conducted in Chuzhou.
But this statement obviously cannot satisfy people in other places.
