Chapter 900 (1/2)
Seeing Elon Musk was a little disordered, Li Mu's expression of thought was even more serious.
Elon Musk looks at Li Mu with a tangled expression. Although the two have been communicating through translation, the language is different and the expression has no boundary. He can clearly see that Li Mu's face has determined his own appearance.
Originally, I came here all the way to touch a porcelain. I used Li Mu's momentum to frighten eBay. It won't hurt Li Mu. Besides, I had sent someone else's love before and let me use his momentum to bully others. That's fair.
However, Elon Musk didn't expect that Li Mu had set up a game for himself, and he was waiting for him to come all the way.
Thinking of this, and seeing Li Mu's relaxed and confident face, Elon Musk can't help admiring Li Mu. This 20-year-old is really extraordinary.
From admiration to admiration, Elon Musk was somewhat depressed. He was 31 years old this year, 11 years older than Li Munian, but he put it in his pocket, which brought a considerable blow to his self-confidence.
After a positive adjustment, Elon Musk asked Li Mu, ”Mr. Li, you are so optimistic about paypal?”
Li Mu smiled: ”I'm really optimistic about it. In my opinion, the payment channel is a very important part of the development of the Internet industry in the future and the key to get through the Internet and user wallet. If PayPal is sold to eBay in full package, in the first few years, the platform of eBay can indeed bring better development opportunities to PayPal, but with the lack of Internet Without development, one day, Paypal will surpass eBay's pattern and framework, and then it will be separated from eBay and become an independent payment channel. At that time, PayPal's valuation will be more than ten times the current value. ”
Elon Musk looked at Li Mu, nodded earnestly, and said: ”what Mr. Li said is true. I personally think Paypal will have more development space in the future. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, we realize that with our ability, we can't help Paypal to continue to improve significantly. Moreover, if he can't buy Paypal on such a large platform as eBay , we will definitely create another PayPal, so our only choice right now is to sell PayPal to eBay or other large platforms, which is the best solution for everyone. ”
Li Mu nodded: ”that's right, but I still say that eBay doesn't have to buy PayPal wholly. For them, as long as they have an absolute holding right in PayPal, it's enough. In this way, their own needs are absolutely satisfied, and they don't need to re build a new management and operation team around PayPal. Moreover, YYY of Muye technology now The development momentum of the world's elites is very good, and they will gradually master more overseas user resources in their hands. If Muye technology and eBay can jointly invest in PayPal, and both sides invest more resources to PayPal together, it will certainly make PayPal a higher level, which is much better than simply selling PayPal to them. ”
Elon Musk frowned for a moment and nodded softly: ”you're right. In this case, eBay really doesn't need to buy PayPal wholly. As long as they have the absolute controlling right, they can have a good sleep. As for the joint stock ownership you said, I think it's feasible.”
Li Mu said: ”my favorite is that we three share ownership. Imagine that if Paypal will be held by eBay in the future, Muye technology and members of your original team share ownership, the company will still be managed by you. This can also ensure that PayPal develops on the most correct road, rather than being taken by eBay and temporarily assembling a team that doesn't know how to pay to operate.” 。”
As he said, Li Multon said again: ”the cash invested by eBay and I not only can make the capital behind you withdraw completely, but also give your original teams the chance to cash out first, and then reserve some shares for you. Then eBay and I can import the resources of overseas markets into PayPal together, backed by these two platforms Source import, PayPal's valuation can be further improved, and the shares you hold will be more valuable. ”
When Elon Musk heard this, he was already surprised and excited. At first, he just wanted to sell PayPal to eBay. According to his 11.7% shareholding ratio and the valuation of $1.5 billion, he could get $175 million in cash, which is absolutely a huge sum of money for him. When the money is obtained, he can invest in other businesses and fight again in another field 。
However, Li Mu's words opened a new window for him. If it was a three-party joint stock ownership, assuming a valuation of $1.5 billion, if all the capital behind PayPal was withdrawn and 50% of the shares were sold by himself, then he could cash out about $90 million, and still hold nearly 6% of the new PayPal's shares. It seems that there is no change at that time, but it seems that For PayPal, the valuation will be greatly improved!Only PayPal is worth $1.5 billion. PayPal, which is jointly owned by eBay and Muye technology, and which import resources together, is worth more than that. With such good news, it may even double in a short time!
In this case, I've got 90 million dollars in cash, and it won't be long before PayPal's market value breaks through 3 billion dollars, and the remaining 6% shares will have 180 million market value again, which is a lot of imagination space.
Elon Musk is also very clear in his mind that if he has already had $90 million in cash, he has no need to continue to cash in at all, the remaining shares can be held all the time. With the continuous improvement of PayPal's market value, the market value of the remaining shares will continue to rise.
At present, Elon Musk is not such a powerful industry tycoon in the future. His first bucket of real gold has not yet arrived, and he is waiting for PayPal to cash in.
