Chapter 446 Financing

Just after the Spring Festival, there is a big event in the investment community, because Micro Tuo Technology is financing, and this alone is enough.

There are also movements in the financial news circles, these people generally have their own channels, and the actions of the round of financing cannot be concealed from them, and every article has been pushed to the public.

In 2011, unicorn companies were still an unborn word, and those later emerging giants are now embryos, and even Xiaomi has not even released a mobile phone.

Although there are many new Internet companies, there are not many of them, especially at the level of WeChat, which is the only one.

Therefore, its financing is naturally in the spotlight.

According to data obtained by the news media, the valuation of Weituo Technology by various venture capital institutions ranges from about $4.6 billion to $5.5 billion, which is actually about the same as the initial plan received by Wen Xiaoguang, and now, there is less and less privacy.

This number is amazing to the outside world, and to be honest, some Internet companies that have been famous for many years have been listed on the NASDAQ for many years, and the market value is at this level.

Even if it is to evaluate a man, if he can have a company of this scale in his life, it is enough, it is really good, and it is definitely glorious.

But this is only the first round of micro-extension.

Wen Xiaoguang himself also holds 50.2% of the company's equity, and the other 17.7% is in the hands of the five founding teams, 5% is held by Fengli shares, 1% is held by Yunshu Co., Ltd., and the initial 12% of Xiaomi's creation team has been diluted to 6.1% after Wen Xiaoguang's large-scale capital injection, and the remaining 20% is probably the option pool belonging to Li Yidan and the senior management team and outstanding employees represented by her.

Because the company's time is short, no one has gotten it yet, but the things are there, as long as you are good enough when you come, it is written in the employment contract, or you are good enough to get the option incentive, then the deadline must be yours.

Li Yidan got 1.2%.

Money is nothing to these people, and it can be slightly expanded to its current scale, as long as 1% is hundreds of millions of yuan smaller, which should be nothing, and it will only be a lot more in the future.

At present, Wen Xiaoguang, the person in the company, is not worried, especially for excellent employees, options are a reward and a shackle, the more the company grows, the more difficult it is to get this thing, there is nothing to say, so almost no one will give up easily.

Another point that Weituo has attracted media attention has also been born from this.

That's that they're concentrating on mass-producing millionaires, at least on paper.

This is why Wen Xiaoguang is so busy every day, there are too many people who want to see him get a piece of the pie.

The person at noon today is qualified enough, he is already the vice chairman of IDG Greater China, except for the famous Xiong Xiaoge lying on his head, he is the boss.

As the most valuable star venture capital product at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, WeChat is worth people with such specifications to come and meet Wen Xiaoguang in person.

"It's better to be famous than to meet, Mr. Wen, I'm late. ”

This guy's surname is Lu, his name is Lu Qin, and the information compiled by Song Yiqiu shows that he is also a ruthless person, 39 years old, born in a legal family, his father is a serious barrister, and his mother is too, and he graduated from a prestigious school, and his job is also very high.

In the previous life, this was the pride of the world that a little person like Wen Xiaoguang couldn't even look up to.

Thanks to Rebirth, they can eat more than 10,000 meals on the turf, and you don't have to do it yourself.

Wen Xiaoguang glanced at his watch, "It's not late, you arrived two minutes early." ”

"I mean, I should have solemnly invited you two months ago. ”

It's good to listen to this kind of thing, you may not have known what WeChat was for two months ago.

"It's not too late," Wen Xiaoguang said, "it's not too late." Weituo only officially started the A round of financing from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, Mr. Lu, you are already very fast. ”

Further on, there's no way for you to go anyway.

"What is the size of the financing?"

Direct and efficient.

"$3-$400 million. ”

Lu Qin and Li Keyang's reactions were different, he frowned and asked, "Will it be a little less?" I don't mean anything else, but Mr. Wen, after all, you are facing a goose factory with deep pockets, don't you think 2011 will be a stage of tragic money burning?"

He could see it clearly.

Wen Xiaoguang said: "I'm not reluctant to give up my shares, first of all, I am not short of money and not greedy, and secondly, there are so many precedents to learn, even if the shares are greatly reduced, I will not lose control, so we just think that this is enough." ”

Lu Qin calculated in his heart, but in this case, how many shares is 3-400 million?

According to the lowest valuation, it is 8% to die.

And now that Micro Tuo Technology is a popular investment project, it is difficult for them to eat this piece of fat exclusively, so there is still a hair left over after dividing it!

After using his brain, Mr. Lu said: "Since last year, the stock price of the goose factory has fallen again and again, and the news we got is that Ma Huateng is under tremendous pressure, and the board of directors still trusts him, but in my opinion, it is just that he has been in this position for so long, inertia, to say that the work itself in the past few months, the board of directors is not satisfied." ”

"You mean, they're going to fight back. ”

"It's going to be crazy to fight back. ”

"And you're still investing in me?"

"The greater the risk, the greater the benefit, and we're already late. ”

Wen Xiaoguang asked: "Why do you keep saying that you are late, this is our A round." ”

"The criterion of whether it is late or not is not this, but when the industry talks about WeChat, we come, this is late. ”

Wen Xiaoguang thought to himself, you inexplicably gave me some little tsundere.

In fact, there is a special reason for this, and this reason is the goose factory. Pay attention to WeChat must be all concerned, and finally make a decision, these companies will most likely be delayed, competitors are too strong, maybe something will happen.

Investment is not so lofty, the worse the thing, the more cumbersome the investment process, just like you go to a government building, the less you are a person, the more inexplicable procedures you need to enter the door, and when you are really qualified, the door is open and queues up to welcome you.

What regulations, regulations, or leaders have explained, that's not a thing.

In terms of business investment, what majors are not professional, what future goals, business philosophy, company structure, and talent use are not for money, if you put them in a different order to make them believe that they can make money, then everything else is a fart.

Just like when Yirui Wang Yue was negotiating, I came to sign.

It's very easy to negotiate with Wen Xiaoguang now, I'm here to send money. Ma Yun is right, they will rob it.

"It doesn't matter if it's late or not, anyway, Lu and I always meet, if 400 million US dollars feels less, how much do you want?"

"We want to be the lead investor, 200 million. ”

Half of the family is eaten.

Wen Xiaoguang didn't have any attitude, "I'll think about it." ”

The boss of their company is also a ruthless person, Xiong Xiaoge accepted $20 million from McGovern, then president of IDG, to set up IDG Capital in the 90s, and by 2005 they had no equity structure relationship with IDG, and switched to a standard GP/LP system, which was even more excessive.

Wen Xiaoguang remembers that in 2017, IDG Capital directly acquired its old employer, International Data Group, or IDG.

Relying on the domestic Internet over the years, the annual return on investment is as high as more than 30%, and they are also veterans of this industry.

Wen Xiaoguang has no prejudice against cooperating with them, there are only so many top venture capitalists, don't do this, it makes no difference to find others, as the lead investor, the strength of the people is enough.

After all, there is really nothing to talk about, no wonder Ma Yun did it in six minutes, Wen Xiaoguang felt that he hadn't eaten enough, and everything was almost over.

Outsiders think that it is an earth-shattering illusion created by the amount of money and the media, but it is actually a simple business behavior.

"No problem, you think about it, Chairman Xiong wants to talk to you later, he himself would love to come, but it happened to be in time for the global board meeting. ”

Lu Qin thought for a moment and scratched his cheek, "In addition, I have a personal question that I am a little curious about.

"You say. ”

"At the age of 20, you can finish someone else's life, what are you going to do in the future?"

Wen Xiaoguang smiled, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, although I am young, my fun-loving mentality does not exceed my sense of responsibility, and WeChat is definitely enough for me to do it for ten years." ”

Lu Qin was a little surprised and a little surprised, this little guy ...... Very clever indeed!

...... Yes, this is not a personal issue at all, young men are often not so ambitious, they pay attention to love and be loved, poetry and distance, romance and freedom, sex and appearance.

Therefore, after there is no major problem with Weituo, the only thing investors are worried about is age.

Mr. Lu has nothing to say, to this extent, he should be smart.
