Chapter 85 Zhang Baizhi is Pregnant
Sun Zhengyi is a Korean-Japanese man. He is not tall, a little bald, and has a round, smiling face.
Upon learning of Li Xiang's flight time, he sent SoftBank's "chief steward," Satoshi Shima, to the airport to pick him up, and they went to the hotel first.
The following day, during a visit to SoftBank, the two officially met.
"This is a gift I brought for you from Russia, please accept it." Li Xiang gave Sun Zhengyi a set of Russian nesting dolls.
"Is this an old item?" Sun Zhengyi opened the matryoshka dolls and carefully placed them one by one. They showed signs of use, and he could tell whether they were new or old.
Li Xiang replied, "It's from the former Soviet Union, so it can't be considered an antique."
"I love so much."
Sun Zhengyi turned to speak with the section chief, Shima Satoshi, in Japanese. Li Xiang couldn't understand, but he could roughly guess what was going on.
I guess it's to give a return gift?
Sun Zhengyi looked at Li Xiang and said, "Let's talk about VK shares."
Li Xiang took out the pre-prepared plan and handed it to Sun Zhengyi, saying, "This is my sales proposal. Please take a look and see if you can accept it?"
Sun Zhengyi looked suspicious, but still took the document. Why not just negotiate the price when selling shares? What's going on here?
After reading the proposal, Sun Zhengyi handed it to Dao Cong and joked, "Now I understand why he chose a nesting doll as a gift. The big one is inside the small one, one after another. He never intended to sell VK's shares (to Japan)."
After reviewing the proposal, Shima Satoshi commented, "There's potential to make a profit (in Japan)."
"It doesn't mean anything (Japanese)."
Li Xiang's proposed solution was to pledge his VK shares to SoftBank to borrow $3600 million, with a one-year redemption period and an annualized interest rate of 15%. If he couldn't repay the loan, the shares would belong to SoftBank.
The problem with this plan is that—
If VK develops smoothly in the coming year, its valuation will definitely rise further.
Even if Li Xiang can't repay the money himself, he can find someone to provide financing and buy back the shares.
If development doesn't go smoothly and the valuation falls instead of rising, then VK will basically be half-defeated. If Li Xiang doesn't come to redeem, SoftBank will become the one to take over.
However, judging from VK's current user growth trend, the former is far more likely than the latter.
That's why Dao Cong said "there's money to be made." Funds in the Japanese yen zone are very cheap, and after lending them to Li Xiang at an annual interest rate of 15%, one can earn the interest rate spread.
Sun Zhengyi didn't care about such a meager profit.
Sun Zhengyi turned to look at Li Xiang, a bright smile on his face, and said, "I can offer 50 million if you sell me your shares."
"I heard that you acquired Moneybookers with leveraged funds. That's very bold. This fifty million can solve your big problems."
"The US subprime mortgage crisis is very serious and could worsen at any time. We should be cautious about leveraging expansion at this point, don't you think?"
"Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are determined by fate. My current fortune is all from gambling, and I'm prepared to gamble again," Li Xiang further persuaded. "Although VK still has great potential for appreciation, it's not my core asset after all. I'm unwilling to sell it now because I can still hold on."
"If, unfortunately, your prediction comes true and the subprime crisis continues to worsen, my funding chain will break and I will have to cut my losses to survive. VK will have to be sold, and I can give you the right of first refusal."
"Given the poor economic climate, even if VK's valuation rises, it will likely be limited, and you may not be able to afford to spend 50 million."
"I'm betting my entire fortune, but for you, whether I win or lose, you're the winner."
Sun Zhengyi sought Shima Satoshi's opinion, "What's your view (on Japan)?"
Satoshi Shima stated, "The risks are controllable, there is arbitrage opportunity, I think it's acceptable (Japan)."

Li Xiang was surprised to discover.
Sun Zhengyi spoke to Dao Cong with a very serious expression, but when he turned to look at him, he would smile.
Sure enough, Sun Zhengyi smiled again, his small eyes narrowing into slits.
"Mr. Li, I basically agree with your plan, but as far as I know, Durov has a right of first refusal on your shares. You can only transfer them to someone else if he doesn't buy them. Does he agree to our deal?"
Li Xiang replied, "I don't need his consent. The restriction applies to VK shares. I can transfer the company in which I hold shares to you."
.
Sun Zhengyi frowned and said, "I don't have the right to vote on this kind of operation."
Li Xiang said, "So if delivery is really required, you'll get a cheaper price."
Sun Zhengyi and Dao Cong discussed it for a while longer before formally replying to Li Xiang, saying, "I would like to add a clause to the loan agreement."
.
"If you don't repay the money after one year, and the transaction price of VK is insufficient to offset your debt, we will also pursue the difference."
Li Xiang asked, "Could you borrow a little more?"
Sun Zhengyi replied directly, "Forty million US dollars, that's the most."
"Deal! Can I make one more request? I'd like to take a photo with you." Li Xiang said truthfully, "It's not easy for foreign companies to do business in your Japanese island. They're always wary and worried that they won't last long. If I could have a photo with you, many things would be much easier."
"Don't publish it in the newspapers." The more Sun Zhengyi looked at Li Xiang, the more interesting he found him. He wanted to use my name to swindle and deceive people, and he even told me this outright.
Li Xiang gestured and said, "OK!"
Hong Kong.
When Zhang Baizhi arrived at his father's house, he pouted and slammed three pregnancy tests on the table.
"I am pregnant."
Yong was so anxious that he paced back and forth, blaming his daughter, "How could you be so careless? Didn't I tell you long ago that you and Nicholas shouldn't rush into marriage, but wait until Shopee goes public?"
"Now look what's happened! The fundraising hasn't even started and you're pregnant. Are we still going to get married?"
"No, I'm going to talk to Tingfeng. I'm going directly to Xie Xian!"
As a father, Yong Ge still has certain bottom lines. Even if he is biased towards his son-in-law, the God of Gamblers, there is nothing he can do since his daughter is already pregnant.
"Oh no!" Zhang Baizhi shouted in frustration as he sat on the sofa.
"What's wrong?" Yong asked, sitting down next to his daughter with concern. He declared, "If you don't want me to go, I won't go. I don't want to embarrass you."
Zhang Baizhi forced out a sound through gritted teeth: "This child isn't Nicholas Tse's."
Yongge's face contorted as he pointed a finger at his daughter: "What am I supposed to say about you?"
Yong wanted to yell at her, but then he realized his daughter was going through a vulnerable period, so he forced himself to control his emotions and asked, "What are you planning to do?"
"What else can we do but abort the child?" Zhang Baizhi sighed.
"You should be more careful," Yong said, patting his daughter's head. "Dad will go to the hospital with you tomorrow. There are a lot of reporters here in Hong Kong who know you. We're going abroad to a hospital overseas."
Zhang Baizhi muttered, "The child is Li Xiang's."
"Are you sure?" Yong Ge thought he had misheard.
"I met Nicholas Tse once after I came back from Russia. He was called away by his manager halfway through the meal. We weren't together at all. It was Li Xiang's affair." Zhang Baizhi glanced at his father's expression out of the corner of his eye. "I've caused such a mess, and you're still laughing?"
"Did I laugh?" Yong asked, trying to control his expression.
"You're still laughing!"
"I wasn't laughing," Yong asked with a straight face. "When did this happen? You weren't gone when I came back, just those few days?"
Zhang Baizhi didn't answer, but said with a worried expression, "I came to you to discuss whether or not to tell Li Xiang that he has to compensate me for the huge sacrifice I made."
"Besides, he is the child's father after all. It doesn't seem right for him to hit the child without saying a word. But if I tell him, I'm afraid things will get out of control and I'll just be asking for trouble. It's so annoying."
"What are you doing? Don't you dare hit him!" Brother Yong glared and shouted. "This is my grandson! You dare lay a finger on him!"
