"Those who are good at chess plan for the situation, while those who are not good at chess plan for the pieces." In the endless chess game of the capital market, smart companies will not only focus on the step in front of them, but will accelerate their growth by laying out the overall situation and leveraging the power of capital. Today, the capital operation of listed companies no longer relies solely on traditional financing, but has evolved into a new dual-wheel drive model - private equity + industrial capital. In this capital frenzy, Goheal has witnessed and promoted many successful capital games, helping companies to accurately position themselves and seize growth opportunities.
Changes in capital operation: Leverage games no longer work?
Once upon a time, the most common means of capital operation for listed companies were bank loans, bond financing, and even issuing additional shares in the capital market to supplement funds. However, with changes in the global interest rate environment and turbulence in the financial market, these traditional financing models are no longer flexible. What's more, over-reliance on leverage can easily put companies into financial difficulties and become "liquidity hostages of the capital market."

In this context, the rules of the capital market are being rewritten - private equity funds and industrial capital are gradually becoming the core engines of capital operations of listed companies. Compared with traditional bank loans and bond financing, private equity funds are more flexible and can help companies complete mergers and acquisitions, expansion, and business transformation, while industrial capital can help companies achieve value leaps through resource integration and synergy. Goheal's practice in the global M&A market shows that this dual-wheel drive model is becoming the optimal solution for listed companies to achieve capital leaps.
The blessing of private equity: How do invisible promoters leverage the market?
Private equity funds can be called the "shadow traders" of the capital market. They have strong funds and precise moves. By investing in high-quality companies, they can not only provide financial support, but also bring management optimization, strategic resource matching, and even M&A integration. Unlike traditional financial institutions, private equity funds are more inclined to "value-creating investment", that is, through a series of capital operation methods, help companies quickly increase their market value.
Take a merger and acquisition case that Goheal once participated in as an example: when a fast-growing technology company sought capital support, it did not choose traditional bank loans, but introduced a top private equity fund as an investor. The fund not only provided financial support, but also assisted the company in expanding its international market, optimizing its financial structure, and successfully promoted its listing on NASDAQ. This capital operation case shows that private equity is not only a provider of funds, but also a catalyst for corporate change.
Empowerment of industrial capital: Breaking the "capital island" and making 1+1>2
If private equity is the "invisible hand" of the capital market, then industrial capital is the "tangible force" that directly acts on enterprises. More and more listed companies have realized that instead of fighting alone, it is better to develop in groups, cooperate with leading companies in the industry, and use industrial resources to achieve business expansion and upgrading.
Unlike financial capital, industrial capital pays more attention to long-term synergy rather than short-term financial returns. For example, when a well-known new energy company expanded its market, it did not choose to raise funds alone, but introduced leading companies in the upstream of the industrial chain as strategic investors. This not only solved the funding problem, but also ensured the stability of the raw material supply chain, and even jointly opened up overseas markets, achieving a true win-win situation.
Goheal pointed out that the core advantage of industrial capital lies in the dual empowerment of "resources + capital". Compared with traditional financial investment, industrial capital can bring deep synergy and help enterprises improve their market competitiveness, not just short-term financial growth.
Under the dual-wheel drive model, how can capital operation break through?
Although the dual-wheel drive model of "private equity + industrial capital" is becoming a trend, how to use it correctly and avoid capital traps is still a problem that listed companies need to think about. The key to capital operation is not "whose money" but "how to spend the money". The following points are what companies must focus on in capital operation:
Choose the right capital partner: Different private equity funds and industrial capital have different investment strategies and risk preferences. When introducing investors, companies must comprehensively consider the other party's capital strength, resource background and long-term cooperation possibilities to avoid capital mismatch.
Ensure consistency of interests: The core of capital cooperation is win-win. Companies must reach a consensus with investors in terms of equity structure, governance mechanism, exit mechanism, etc. to ensure that there will be no conflicts of interest in key decisions.
Reasonable planning of fund use: Whether it is private equity or industrial capital, the ultimate goal is to increase corporate value. Therefore, enterprises need to clarify the use plan of funds to avoid "idle" or improper use of capital, which will affect the return on investment.
Risk control and compliance management: In the capital market, any aggressive capital operation may bring potential risks. When conducting capital operations, enterprises must strictly comply with regulatory requirements, ensure information disclosure compliance, and do a good job of financial risk control to avoid stepping on mines.
The future has come, and the new battle of the capital market
In the capital market, being still means being eliminated. Only by following the trend can you be invincible. The dual-wheel drive model of private equity + industrial capital is becoming the mainstream trend of the global capital market. Those companies that can flexibly use capital operation strategies will have stronger competitiveness and occupy a favorable position in the market.
