Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

After more than half a month of contact, Lu Maoshi learned from other investment companies about their valuation of Wujiang ISP Company (Europe).

Wujiang ISP Company (Europe) is the largest Internet operator covering the entire Europe. The lowest quotation is US$100 billion, and the highest is US$150 billion!

Wujiang Group invested a total of about US$30 billion in establishing Wujiang ISP Company (Europe).

In 46 European countries and regions, investments ranging from as little as US$1000 million to as much as four to five billion US dollars were spent.

Today, the highest valuation of Wujiang ISP Company (Europe) is US$150 billion, an increase of more than five times! ! !

Even, this may not be the final offer.

With the development of the Internet, the development prospects of ISP companies are becoming more and more exciting.

Lu Maoshi selected a group of investment companies with relatively high quotations, and then invited them to come over to discuss Series A financing.

Thirty-eight of these investment companies include France Telecom, Deutsche Telekom, British Telecom, Deutsche Bank, and Barclays of the United Kingdom.

The investment companies that received the invitation were very happy, while the investment companies that did not receive the invitation reluctantly withdrew from the competition.

However, Goldman Sachs is somewhat dissatisfied.

Goldman Sachs had the highest offer, but was not invited.

Dennis Toynby said he didn't understand and called Lu Maoshi directly.

"Mr. Lu Maoshi, our Goldman Sachs Group has the highest offer for Wujiang ISP (Europe). Why is it that our Goldman Sachs Group is not included in the cooperation negotiation list?" Dennis Toynby suppressed his anger and asked calmly.

Lu Maoshi thought for a while and expressed what Zhao Ye meant: "I'm sorry, Mr. Dennis Toynbee, the reason why our company made this decision is because Goldman Sachs Group has invested in 'America Online'. The reason why Xinjiang ISP (Europe) is financing is not because of lack of money, but because it needs companies that can help Xinjiang ISP (Europe). Mr. Dennis Toynby, I would like to ask, where will Goldman Sachs Group stand in the end? On the side of America Online or on the side of Borderless ISP (Europe), will Goldman Sachs fully support the development of Borderless ISP (Europe)?"

Lu Maoshi's words immediately stopped Dennis Toynby, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Are you saying that Goldman Sachs Group will side with Wujiang ISP Company (Europe)? You have to make people believe it...

Goldman Sachs Group itself is an American company. If it is said that it will favor 'AOL', it will be convincing.

Seeing Dennis Toynbee's silence, Lu Maoshi smiled and said: "Mr. Dennis Toynbee, you also understand our company's concerns. Therefore, this is the reason why Goldman Sachs Group has not been included in the cooperation list!"

Dennis Toynbee frowned and said, "Is there no other way?"

"It's not impossible, unless Goldman Sachs Group sells AOL's shares to Wujiang Group!" Lu Maoshi said casually. He didn't believe Goldman Sachs Group would make such a choice.

The U.S. market is very large, no smaller than the European market. Therefore, AOL companies have huge development potential.

However, Wujiang Group cannot enter the US ISP industry, which undoubtedly gives AOL the opportunity to develop and grow.

Goldman Sachs Group just needs to weigh the pros and cons a little to know which choice to make.

Dennis Toynby sighed: "Well, it seems that our Goldman Sachs Group has no chance of joining Wujiang ISP (Europe). It's such a pity..."

Lu Maoshi nodded noncommittally. The financing plan of Wujiang ISP (Europe) itself did not take American companies into consideration. Wujiang Group only used Goldman Sachs Group to increase the valuation of the ISP company.

The next morning.

Wujiang Group has officially begun negotiations for ISP’s Series A financing.

In the conference room.

Lu Maoshi was the first to speak, looked around the crowd, and said loudly: "Hello everyone, first of all, on behalf of Wujiang Group, I would like to thank everyone for your love for Wujiang ISP Company (Europe)."

"As everyone thinks, Wujiang ISP Company (Europe) has huge development potential, so all the companies present want to invest in it!"

"In addition to its first-mover advantage, Wujiang ISP (Europe) is also in a leading position in technology!"

"As far as I know, the mainstream broadband technology on the market still uses MODEM technology. The bandwidth range is only 14.4k-58K, and the download speed is about 7K per second. This is far from the adsl technology developed by our Wujiang Group!"

"I don't think any customer would be willing to install a network with such slow speeds."

"So, even by simply using technology, Wujiang ISP Company (Europe) can defeat its competitors!"

"It will take at least two years for competitors to catch up. By then, I'm afraid the day lily will be cold. The entire European ISP market has long been occupied by Wujiang ISP Company (Europe)."

"Everyone should be very aware of the financial resources of Wujiang Group. If it were not for the support of strategic partners, Wujiang ISP Company (Europe) would have no need to raise funds."

Lu Maoshi took the lead in stating in front of everyone that this is an opportunity given to everyone by Wujiang Group, and it is not asking others to invest in Wujiang ISP Company (Europe).

Wujiang Group is not short of money, and the ISP company has a technological monopoly advantage. Such sought-after high-quality resources are rare.

After Lu Maoshi finished speaking, many people present had slightly changed expressions. They looked at each other at the surrounding competitors and couldn't help but increase their bids inwardly.

Lu Maoshi had a panoramic view of everyone's expression changes, and his purpose was to arouse everyone's desire to compete.

Unconsciously, the corners of his mouth rose, he smiled slightly, and continued: "At present, the highest valuation of Wujiang ISP Company (Europe) by investment companies has reached 150 billion US dollars, but I think the market value of Wujiang ISP Company (Europe) is definitely underestimated! "

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present almost exploded.

The valuation of US$150 billion is still underestimated. How big is the appetite of Wujiang Group?

They can probably guess the total investment of Wujiang ISP Company (Europe).

The valuation has increased several times, but Wujiang Group is still not satisfied.

Everyone frowned deeply and looked at each other.

"Mr. Lu, Wujiang ISP (Europe) is just a company that provides Internet access services, and its total assets do not exceed US$35 billion. Its original valuation of US$150 billion is already very high, and you still want it to increase. We, How dare investment companies invest?" Steve Kitto, a representative of Barclays in the UK, retorted loudly.

Hearing this, Lu Maoshi smiled and said: "We think its valuation is high, of course because we see its future prospects. I know some people here are optimistic about the development of the Internet, but their understanding of the Internet is definitely not deep enough! Everyone Have you ever imagined how far the Internet will develop in the near future?"

After a two-second pause, Lu Maoshi answered to himself without waiting for anyone to answer: "In the near future, the Internet will be everywhere, in every home, every company, government agency, scientific research unit, etc., as long as you Everywhere you can think of, the Internet exists.”
