Chapter 541： Infernal Affairs

Looking at the messages that popped up quickly, Chen Yang couldn't help rubbing his forehead,

Then hold the phone and type,

"Don't even think about dividing it evenly. Besides, even if it is divided equally, it is still divided among four families. Mr. Ma, how did you calculate five divided by three?!"

What's the matter, I don't count as the leader, do I? !

pony, "I'm not very good at math, please forgive me, Boss Chen, don't be a fool, just take out as much quota as you can."

Robin, "Ahem, actually what I said just now was a joke. Really, I can only pay 100 million yuan, nothing more, Mr. Chen, just don't think too little!"

Lao Zhang, "I'm not kidding, Mr. Chen, just tell me the number. If I don't get the money together, even if I take out Weibo and Gou for financing, I must get the money together!"

Robin, "Ahem, although I can only invest 100 million in Jingdong, if it's Zouhu Weibo and Zougou, then it's another calculation. The board of directors should get another 200 million!"

Chen Yang was expressionless, typing with his mobile phone in his arms, "First of all, 20 million of the 500 million was the low-interest convertible loan provided by Honggu to Jingdong when the Xijiang Supercomputing Center was established last time. It must be counted.

Secondly, as the leading investor, Rainbow Valley should of course take the lead.

How about this, don't say that my brother is not loyal, the remaining 418 million, Honggu will take 180 million, and the other 300 million, you will share equally, each accounting for 6.66% of the shares,

If there is no problem, all funds must arrive within three days, and the investment agreement will be signed in Beijin tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and the specific time will be arranged separately. "

pony, "Six six six, that's a good number, I agree."

Robin, "Agreed."

Lao Zhang, "Hey, it's a pity that I have money and no place to spend it. I agree!"

Chen Yang pouted, raised his head and said to Huang Shan, "You reply to Lao Liu, the valuation of 1.5 billion U.S. dollars, the financing amount of 500 million U.S. dollars, of which 20 million will be deducted from the previous loan, and the remaining four One hundred and eighty million will arrive within two days after signing the agreement."

Huang Shan rolled her eyes and nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll tell him."

Immediately took out the phone to contact.

Chen Yang was about to put down his phone when he saw new news in the group.

Old Zhang, "cough cough, since Mr. Chen has taken the lead, then I will continue to talk about it. Mr. Chen, after the study of the board of directors, decided to officially launch the B round of financing for Zouhu Weibo. What's your opinion?"

Whoosh Hu Weibo was developed in March last year. Chen Yang took the proposal and funds and asked Lao Zhang to develop it.

At that time, the two each held half of the shares, which can be regarded as the founders. Later, Goose Factory and Qiandu joined in, which was regarded as the A round of financing.

The current shareholding ratio is that Whoohu.com and Lao Zhang jointly hold 35%, Honggu Capital holds 35%, Goose Factory holds 21%, and Qiandu only holds 35%. nine percent,

No way, at the time of the A round, Goose Factory and Qiandu divided the investment share according to the drainage ratio.

The efficiency of the goose factory is higher and the flow rate is higher, so it naturally accounts for the majority, while the thousand degrees are lower, so it can only account for the small portion.

So now when Lao Zhang said that Souhu Weibo is going to launch the B round, Lao Li became excited and immediately expressed his opinion,

Robin, "Let's talk about it first, this is financing, and we can't distribute according to the proportion of shares. This time, I will take the majority of the shares. Who agrees and who opposes?!"

pony, ?ω?

Just kidding, who doesn't know how popular Twitter is in the United States now?

Even if the financial crisis is intensifying now, Twitter's valuation still reaches 100 million US dollars, and it is precisely because of the financial crisis, otherwise, it would be normal for this number to double or triple.

As a Weibo social networking site launched almost at the same time as Twitter, Souhu Weibo was valued at 300 million soft sister coins a year ago.

One year later, the number of users of Souhu Weibo is almost twice that of Twitter. So, let alone how to estimate it, who would easily miss this chicken that can only lay golden eggs? !

Chen Yang, "How much is the valuation, and what is the financing scale?"

Lao Zhang, "According to the evaluation of financial and investment institutions, Souhu Weibo is valued at 100 million US dollars, which is comparable to Twitter, which just completed its B round of financing more than two months ago."

While others were thinking about it, Lao Zhang soon sent two more messages,

"No way, for the same type of thing, even if we have double the number of users than Twitter, given that the other party occupies the European and American markets with the strongest consumption power in the world, it is not easy to maintain the same valuation as them. ,"

"In addition, the scale of financing this time is 20 million US dollars, which is mainly used for function development and market expansion."

Then Lao Zhang sighed again,

"More than half of the 90 million raised last time went back to Goose Factory and Qiandu. The two bosses are nothing but white wolves!"

Robin, "Resources don't cost money? It's even discounted!"

pony, ?ω?

Chen Yang, "Personally, if Souhu Weibo wants to go public in the U.S., then it's best to provide at least a normal share of the financing for U.S. investors to join.

In addition, the earliest investment in Weibo was in the name of Rainbow Valley Capital USA, and this time it can continue to invest in the name of Rainbow Financial Group in the United States. "

After a brief silence, Lao Zhang asked,

"President Chen, what's your opinion?"

Chen Yang, "Souhu Weibo's main market is in China, and with the expansion of Weibo's influence, it will become a very important propaganda position in the future. It is better to go to Xiangjiang for listing,

Although the Xiangjiang Stock Exchange requires the same rights for the same shares, as a shareholder, I can entrust the management right to the operator for management. Although it is a bit troublesome to sign once a year, it is also one of the solutions.

Of course, this suggestion is for reference only, and the specific decision needs to be made by shareholders and the board of directors. "

The most criticized part of Weibo in later generations is the American capital behind it.

And I have to say, even irrefutable, that this is indeed the main reason why a certain wave of Weibo sits crookedly,

Now Boss Chen has invested in Souhu Weibo. From this point of view, he certainly does not want this company to go public in the United States.

Otherwise, after a few years, the national sentiment will rise, and if there is a mistake, people will be able to grasp it and hold on to it.

It was really difficult back then.

Let Boss Chen give up and quit this company directly. As one of the most important propaganda positions on the Internet, the role of Weibo is self-evident.

Don’t give up, because the total market value of this is only tens of billions of dollars, and my own holdings are at most a billion or so, it’s okay to be scolded by netizens, but if I really want to be targeted by the higher-ups because of this, it’s called sour Cool!

So at this time, Boss Chen is leading the direction to the other side, inside and outside the words,

Let's see how it turns out now.

one second,

two seconds,

three seconds,

Three seconds later, someone popped up,

pony, "It is recommended to go to Xiangjiang for listing. If you need Xiangjiang investors, I can arrange it!"

Compared with Lao Zhang, who is backed by American capital, Xiao Ma naturally sits on the same stool with Heung Kong Capital.

Moreover, the goose factory is also listed in Xiangjiang, and he has a convenient location, so he may be able to occupy a greater right to speak by then.

At the moment this message popped up, Lao Li's hand that was about to send the message stopped suddenly,

After waiting for a few seconds, seeing that no one appeared in the dialog box, he lightly pressed the delete key to delete all the text.

Then another dialog box opened, "Old Zhang, what do you think?"

Like Lao Zhang, behind Lao Li’s Qiandu is also American capital, and its number one shareholder is the world-renowned venture capital company headquartered in Silicon Valley, DFJ,

In many cases, Lao Li's influence within the company ranks third,

The first is the major shareholder headed by DFJ, and the second is the mid-to-high-level managers who represent the now mature, thousand-degree profit model. He, Lao Li, must be based on the interests of the first two. The company is like a finger,

This is also one of the reasons why after a few years, it was widely rumored on the Internet that Lao Li lost control of Qiandu.

At the same time, it is also one of the reasons why Lao Li insisted on transforming Qiandu to devote himself to AI.

Otherwise, Qiandu, who was kidnapped by the market, would end up dead sooner or later.

So at this moment, no matter what he thinks, he must maintain a united front with Lao Zhang, who also stands behind American capital.

When Lao Zhang saw his message, he didn't reply immediately. Instead, he pressed Enter and waited for the other party's reply.

Chen Yang saw the message from Lao Zhang,

"Mr. Chen, why can't you go public in the United States?"

Chen Yang held his mobile phone and typed, "Borrowing a sentence from academia, science has no borders, but scientists have nationalities. Similarly, capital is the same!"

Seeing this message, the corners of Lao Zhang's mouth twitched slightly, appearing a little disapproving, but then, seeing the next message, his face changed slightly, his eyes lost in thought,

"Brother Zhang, do you still remember that sentence I said when I introduced the Zouhu Weibo project to you?!"

Seeing this news, Lao Zhang narrowed his eyes slightly,

What Chen Yang said at the time was,

Buttocks can't sit crooked!

slowly close your eyes,

A few seconds later, Lao Zhang opened it again, put his hands on the keyboard and typed, "Then whoosh dog?"

Chen Yang smiled, "Sougou is an input method, as long as it doesn't collect too much user information and spread the database abroad, what can it do?!"

Lao Zhang nodded slightly, and sent a symbol to Chen Yang,

"!"

Then open Lao Li's dialog box and type.

Chen Yang smiled and replied to Lao Zhang,

"Iridescent Group's internal resolution, probably in January, will launch the first fundraising and establish two closed-end funds, one for financial investment and one for equity investment. The specific news should be released in December. If Brother Zhang is interested, you can prepare it in advance."

Anyway, it’s all about fundraising. Like Zhanrui’s executives, it’s human nature to ventilate familiar old Zhangs in advance.

What's more, Chen Yang didn't want to give up the position of Weibo if he had to, so it became an inevitable choice to win Lao Zhang and let him stand on his side.

In this case, it's not very natural to give him a little sweetness.

Old Zhang just sent Lao Li over there, "Mr. Chen holds 35% of the shares, Xiao Ma holds 21% of the shares, and the two of them add up to 56%. Holding ratio, there is no way, brother!"

Then I saw the news of Boss Chen, and I was overjoyed immediately.

"Brother Chen is really reliable, this old man will remember!"

The investment opportunity of the Rainbow Group, this is a great thing that many top rich people have hoped for, but I didn't expect it to be directly handed over by Brother Chen.

Look at what Brother Chen said, raising funds in January and releasing news in December, it is clear that people should invest as little money as possible.

Otherwise, in a few days, in a hurry, where can people collect money?

Now he disclosed this news to himself in advance, half a year in advance, he can raise an extra 100 or 200 million US dollars if he doesn't say anything, and how much more income he can get in the future. Isn't this a big favor? !

When Lao Li saw Lao Zhang's news, he was taken aback for a moment, then thoughtfully,

At the beginning of the A round, he knew that Chen Yang's share voting rights were entrusted to Lao Zhang, so Lao Zhang is the real decision maker of the company, but he just said something like this,

What's the meaning?

The three people here are sending private messages to each other, and there is only one Xiao Ma who is unknown, so,

Why, I have expressed my opinion, why is there no one to speak?

Wouldn't it be possible for the three of them to leave at the same time?

Just when he was in doubt, Lao Li also sighed softly,

No matter what Lao Zhang is for, in short, the three of them are wearing a pair of pants now, so what can I say as the minority shareholder with the lowest shareholding?

Anyway, I have tried my best, the time is not with me, the board of directors can't use this to criticize myself, right?

but,

Lao Li looked at the dialog box, and suddenly his heart moved,

Wait, if it is going to go public in Xiangjiang, after leaving aside the US capital, maybe I can personally participate in it? !

In just a few minutes, the three people exchanged information, as if they were acting out Infernal Affairs.

Just when Xiao Ma was getting a little impatient, a message finally appeared,

Robin, "Yes, we will discuss the details later."

Lao Zhang, "I agree, just in time, the Olympic Games is just a few days away, everyone is going to come to Beijin, I will be the host, let's get together and talk at the wine table."

Chen Yang smiled slightly, and pointed his finger on the screen of the mobile phone, "It's so good, then all four votes will be passed. To show our sincerity, our Honggu Group will follow up this financing, but the proportion is up to you. Mr. Chen is domineering!"

pony, "Mr. Chen is magnificent!"

Old Zhang, "Mr. Chen is angry!"

With a broken face, Chen Yang turned off the screen of the phone, then swiped to clean and run the application.

Putting down the phone, Huang Shan, who happened to be opposite, also raised her head, "I finished talking with Lao Liu, and he expressed his gratitude."

Chen Yang smiled, picked up the coffee cup, and said, "After this round of financing, the old Liu and his wife will only have 30% of the shares left?"

"Well, almost,"

Huang Shan leaned forward and reached out to grab the coffee cup in his hand, "Didn't you see that it was all empty?"

After speaking, he picked up his cup and got up to make coffee.

At the same time, he also said, "Although there is only 30% left, according to the valuation, their net worth is a full four to five billion US dollars. For Lao Liu, it is good to be able to maintain the company now, so that the company can run smoothly. Development means making a lot of money, not to mention raising his net worth so much, what else is he not satisfied with?!"
