Chapter 6376
The Charismatic Charlie Wade
Carl said: âMr. Routhchild since we are talking about income,â
âLet our chief financial officer tell you about our current financial situation.â
Steve waved his hand: âDonât worry, I want to ask,â
âCan you access the data that the security department requires you to seal internally?â
âYes.â
The chief technology officer said:
âAll data taken by satellites will be directly transmitted back from our satellites to the database of our own server as soon as possible,â
âAnd the security department requires that our data must be sealed and cannot be made public before the time limit expires.â
Steve nodded slightly.
If it was just a requirement that it could not be made public,
Then it would be fine.
At least Marven could get the first-hand data as soon as possible.
So, Steve asked again:
âIf I am particularly interested in a certain place and want the satellite to keep a close eye on it,â
âI think it can be done, right?â
The chief technology officer said:
âIt can be done, but if this demand is frequent,â
âIt will have a certain impact on the satelliteâs original shooting mission.â
Steve felt relieved.
After buying this company, he was not going to make money from it.
It would be best if Marven could use it easily.
The main thing was that these satellites must keep rotating in the sky.
Otherwise, he would rather all satellites run over the places that Marven was interested in and shoot 24 hours a day.
As for the companyâs original business, it was nothing,
And it was completely acceptable not to make a penny.
Thinking of this, Steve looked at the CFO and said,
âNext, let me introduce the financial situation.â
The CFO said respectfully, âMr. Routhchild, Skyline has now gone through four rounds of financing,â
âWith a total financing amount of 670 million US dollars.â
âThe most recent financing was at the beginning of last year,â
âWith a financing amount of 300 million dollars.â
âOur annual revenue last year was 230 million US dollars,â
âAnd the net profit was negative 50 million US dollars.â
âThis year has not yet ended, and the revenue is expected to be around 270 million,â
âAnd the net profit is expected to be negative 100 million US dollars.â
âThis is mainly because the hardware investment this year is relatively large.â
âI will introduce it to you in detail in the fixed assets later.â
âNext, I would like to introduce to you our cash reserves,â
âExternal investments, and equity situation.â
âIf you have any other questions, you can ask me at any time.â
Steve waved his hand, looked at Carl, and said seriously,
âMy time is limited.â
âI will let professionals connect with for detailed content in the future.â
âI will tell you my acquisition needs,â
âAnd then we will set a price and directly advance the core issues.â
âWhat do you think?â
Carl immediately said, âNo problem, we will follow your pace.â
âOkay.â Steve nodded and said,
âI asked around before I came here, and a relatively professional person evaluated the valuation of your company for me.â
âItâs probably in the range of 3 billion to 4 billion US dollars.â
âBut you also know that valuation is very fictitious.â
âEven if your valuation can reach 4 billion US dollars,â
âThatâs just the price others paid when they invested in you.â
âI think you have a good prospect, and I have 400 million US dollars to invest in you in exchange for your 10% of the shares to bet on the future,â
âBut you canât put this 400 million US dollars in your pocket.â
âInstead, it will be placed in your companyâs account to develop your business.â
âIf you want to put it in your own pocket,â
âItâs not an investment,â
âBut a private equity transaction.â
âIn that case, no one will be willing to pay 3 billion.â
At this point, Steve said, âBut I can give you a condition.â
âThat you canât get anywhere else.â
âI will directly acquire your company at 5 billion US dollars.â
âOf the 5 billion US dollars,â
âI can directly give you 2.5 billion, making you real billionaires immediately.â
âThen, all of you shareholders must stay here and continue to help me run this company.â
âI wonât pay you any extra salary,â
âBut I will give you the remaining $2.5 billion in the next three years.â
âAfter the three years, if I still need you to stay here,â
âWe will renegotiate the terms.â
âIf you can accept it, you can directly enter the acquisition process today.â
âIf not, I will go back to New York.â
âThis offer is valid for three days.â
âYou can call other shareholders to discuss it.â
âIf you change your mind, contact me within three days.â
