Steve felt relieved and bought this company. He was not going to rely on it to make money. It would be best if Ye Chen could use it easily. The main reason was that these satellites must keep spinning in the sky, otherwise he would rather all the satellites Running to the location that Ye Chen paid attention to and shooting 24 hours a day, as for the company's original business, it was a piece of cake. It was completely acceptable not to make a dime.

Thinking of this, Steve looked at the CFO and said, "Let's introduce the financial related situation."

The chief financial officer said respectfully: "Mr. Rothschild, our skyline has gone through four rounds of financing, with a total financing amount of 670 million U.S. dollars. The most recent financing was at the beginning of last year, with a financing amount of 300 million U.S. dollars. , our annual revenue last year was 230 million U.S. dollars, and the net profit was negative 50 million U.S. dollars. This year is not over yet, the revenue is expected to be around 270 million U.S. dollars, and the net profit is expected to be negative 100 million U.S. dollars. This is mainly because this year�s hardware investment is relatively large. I will introduce it to you in detail in fixed assets later. Next, I would like to introduce to you our cash reserves, external investment, and equity situation. If you have any other information You can also ask me questions at any time.�

Steve waved his hand, looked at Karl, and said seriously: "I have limited time, and I will let professionals deal with the details later. I will tell you my acquisition needs, and then we will set a price and move forward directly with the core issues. , what do you think?�

Karl immediately said: "No problem, we will do it at your pace."

"Okay." Steve nodded: "I made some inquiries before I came here. Some relatively professional people have evaluated your company's valuation for me. It is probably in the range of three to four billion U.S. dollars, but you also I know, valuation is a very fictitious thing. Even if your valuation can reach 4 billion U.S. dollars, that is just the price when others invest in you. I think your prospects are pretty good. I have 400 million U.S. dollars to invest in you. In exchange for your 10% of the shares guarantee a future, but you cannot put these 400 million US dollars in your pocket. Instead, they are placed in your company's account to develop your business. If you want to put it in your pocket, it is not an investment. It�s a private equity transaction, in which case no one would be willing to give it a valuation of three billion;�

Having said this, Steve added: "But I can give you a condition that you can't get anywhere you go. I will directly acquire your company for US$5 billion. For these US$5 billion, I can directly acquire it." I will give you 2.5 billion and you will become real billionaires immediately;�

"Then, all of you shareholders will stay here and continue to help me run this company. I will not pay you any additional salary, but I will give you the remaining US$2.5 billion in the next three years. When the three years are up, , if I still need you to stay here, we will renegotiate the terms then. If you can accept it, you can directly enter the acquisition process today. If you cannot accept it, I will return to New York. This offer is valid for three days. You can call me. Let�s discuss it with other shareholders. If you change your mind, please contact me within three days.�

The $5 billion valuation for Skyline is far beyond its true market value.

Although Steve has given a time limit of three years to get it all, at least there is no performance bet. In other words, as long as Skyline shareholders sign, the money will definitely be available.

These days, the last thing you should not sign is a gambling agreement. The world situation is changing as fast as lightning. You may think today that your industry will become a hot spot in the next three years, but tomorrow the entire industry may be completely ruined. In this case, no one can I dare not bet that future performance will continue to rise.

Therefore, Karl knew the answer almost immediately. He had no reason to refuse this proposal.

However, he still hopes to strive for greater interests. After all, he is facing the second-in-command of the Rothschild family. The Rothschild family is as rich as the country, with 5 billion and 6 billion. For them, maybe Just like 50,000 and 60,000 in the eyes of ordinary middle-class people, it is normal to spend a little more money when you find something you like.

Thinking of this, he said to Steve: "Mr. Rothschild, the terms of your proposal are acceptable to us, but the company's valuation is slightly lower than our expectations. We hope that Skyline's The valuation has been increased to 6 billion. If you accept it, we can sign the contract at any time.�

Steve was not taken advantage of. He smiled calmly and said: "This bid was made based on my personal interest in the remote sensing satellite industry. If I were to analyze Skyline's actual value and development space based on a rational market, Then I won�t come here at all, so this price is the cap price I can give. I can guarantee you that the price will not have any room for growth. As for whether there is room for decline, I cannot guarantee you. �

Steve's attitude suddenly put Carl in a dilemma.

He didn't know whether Steve was telling the truth to him or whether he was deliberately lying to deceive himself.

The most important thing now is to find out whether Steve is determined to win Skyline for some reason.

If so, then if he insists on giving up six billion U.S. dollars, no matter how he explains to himself, he will definitely agree in the end;

But if not, then he may lose a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity because of the 6 billion quotation. JrNovels.com
