Chapter 453: Huge Financing

The specific text of the strategic cooperation framework will be determined after refinement, and then it will be announced to the public, when Wen Xiaoguang will come back, and the leader will ask someone to set up a table, set up a camera, boast and take a photo, and then shake hands with each other.

In fact, before these images appeared, a lot of work and negotiations had been completed, and all that remained was for the two parties to sign their respective signatures.

Wen Xiaoguang suggested that they could recruit a commercial plaza in the new city, Wanda had just begun to accelerate not long ago, and dozens of Wanda plazas were expanding rapidly a year, as long as the conditions were good, the new city would not be unable to recruit a square.

There is not one in Xianzhou now, but there will definitely be one in the future.

After Xianzhou's heart, he flew back to Beijin overnight, and Liu Yiqi went south to Yunnan.

Wen Xiaoguang returned to Beijin to finalize the A round of financing plan of Weituo Technology with the final investor.

In the past two years, there have been some powerful venture capitalists in China, such as Sequoia Capital led by Shen Nanpeng, as well as Shenzhen Venture Capital, Hillhouse Capital and GSR Venture Capital.

One of the Internet industry may be related to GSR Ventures, this company has continuously invested in Didi, Ele.me, ofo shared bicycles, remember, people are not reborn, it is said that he looks at 2,000 projects a year, and only gives 5 minutes to see each entrepreneur.

This person named Zhu Xiaohu is the first in the order in which Wen Xiaoguang returned to Beijin to meet.

Wen Xiaoguang doesn't know much about him, after all, he didn't have any shots in the media before. After seeing it, I found that it was a middle-aged man with a very capable head, and he looked very tough.

But no one is scared, anyway, my company is a hot commodity.

"Mr. Zhu, sit down. He shook his hand, and motioned to Song Yiqiu to close the door, leaving it for the two of them here.

"Okay, thank you. Has Mr. Wen ever seen Ma Huateng?"

It was the first time he had asked.

Wen Xiaoguang groaned slightly, "I haven't seen it in reality." Does it matter?"

"Knowing yourself and knowing your opponent, I will introduce you when I have the opportunity, and I have some friendship with him. ”

You still invest in me for some friendships, forget it, don't talk about such a naΓ―ve thing, it's nothing in front of interests.

"I would love to meet him too. Wen Xiaoguang said.

"Oh, why?"

"I don't know, I just think it's funny, I want to hear what he will say to me. ”

Zhu Xiaohu smiled fiercely, "You'll know when you see him." In this way, Mr. Wen, I know that the scale of WeChat financing is huge, our family business is small, I can't do it to lead the investment, let's follow the investment, you are in the Internet industry, I am investing in the Internet industry, the first meeting is also the first cooperation, let's make a friend, 20 million US dollars, since then you have something to call me Zhu Xiaohu, a phone call will come, I will enter the future picture drawn by your Mr. Wen, let's work together, the business is refreshing, see in the contract, be friends, you and I know each other is fate. What do you think?"

Wen Xiaoguang really admired these bigwigs who had always been seen in the media before, who could mix up like people, but who didn't have any skills.

You see, it's neat and tidy.

"That's it? We talked for less than three minutes. ”

The corners of Mr. Zhu's mouth hooked, "It's enough, invest in WeChat now, and three seconds is enough time to make a decision." ”

So he returned to Beijin in a hurry, but there was really no difficult job.

If there are really venture capital valuations that are too low, then it is better to eliminate them, because buying and selling will not be benevolent and righteous, and it will not annoy people.

It was finally decided on February 18.

In addition to the US$420 million Series A financing led by IDG Capital, Wen Xiaoguang also took the lead in introducing other strategic investors, including GSR Ventures, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Telecom, China Development Bank Capital and the National Green Technology Fund.

The huge potential of WeChat has attracted a lot of state-owned assets, and their huge bodies are moving forward, and no one can say that they will rob him, and you don't let him get some of such obviously money-making things, it's really hard to do.

However, Wen Xiaoguang is also happy to see that having a state-owned background can make Weituo safer. And for him personally, he has money, but he still lacks connections, so this is also a good time to make friends. In addition, despite their strong backgrounds, state-owned assets generally have little interest in controlling or grabbing enterprises.

They don't own the company themselves, it's state capital, they take a salary, and they don't go into their own pockets if they rob your company

If you give it to him, he will have a headache, who will take care of it. Once you don't manage it well, it's not a joke for the leader to criticize you.

Basically, investing profitably, is their biggest purpose.

If you really want to find a private company like Ahri, it will make you uncomfortable, he will snatch it and it will be his own, you don't know if the little man has thought of any way to increase his shareholding in the middle of the night until he controls or even buys it.

And from a business point of view, Weituo Technology needs state-owned assets.

First of all, the subsidiary of WeChat Online Payment also needs to get a payment license, and there is no connection, so Wen Xiaoguang is not easy to operate.

Secondly, the wallet function of WeChat needs to cooperate with various banks, which really needs some acquaintances, otherwise you can't understand this kind of new thing, and those officials can't understand it, so they will kick you out. Pointing at ICBC and telling you to get out, see no, love is not there.

Finally, WeChat online payment involves finance, which is a very sensitive line in China, and it has not been completely liberalized, in other words, administrative power decides everything.

So this independent WeChat payment company jumps again, please put one of your hands on the state, please take off your underwear, let the Securities Regulatory Commission see what you are doing, and then the money you earn will be your money.

Wen Xiaoguang understands very well.

So he did not refuse state-owned assets, even if it was given to the country in the end, it was his contribution by Wen Xiaoguang.

On February 19th, Weituo Technology officially announced the A round of financing plan, and the news shocked the industry!

$420 million!!

The previous amount of financing exceeded this figure was $500 million set by JD.com, just last December.

The problem is that this is only a round of micro-extension, this is one of them, and the other is for different purposes, Jingdong is a heavy asset, and it may not be enough to spend money to do it! What about WeChat?

Isn't that an exaggeration!

But those who know Wen Xiaoguang know that he is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart.

To ask for so much money, only one thing can be said that he is preparing ammunition, with the goose plant frontal rig.

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense, it's absolutely asset-light, even the office is rented, and so much money really can't be spent.

Of course, ordinary people can't understand so much, and they don't want to understand so deeply, but looking at Weituo's current valuation of $5.2 billion, I feel that Wen Xiaoguang is really going farther and farther in his life.

That night, Lu Qin had a drinking party like a courtesan, Wen Xiaoguang became the protagonist of everyone's attention, and Lu Qin appeared with a woman in a green dress in the cup change.

"Introduce Mr. Wen, this is Mr. Gu Celadon Gu of Junyi Company," Lu Qintou leaned forward, "It's my sister-in-law." ”

Oh ~ give a face, right?

The woman lifted her long skirt and smiled gently, "Fortunately, Mr. Wen." ”

"Fortunately, I will," he said simply, in a gentleman's handshake.

"You two talk, I still have something over there. ”

Wen Xiaoguang nodded, and raised his glass to Mr. Gu, "Mr. Gu is really dazzling tonight." ”

Gu Celadon smiled modestly, "It's too famous." Compared with Mr. Wen's success, what is the superficiality of my appearance?"

Wen Xiaoguang shook his head, "You can't say that, they are all saying that the appearance is very superficial, if it is really so superficial, why can't so many people see through it?"

Gu Celadon felt fresh when he heard it, it was an interesting rhetorical question and thinking, and this little boy's speech was a bit special.
