Chapter 647: The Last Piece of the Puzzle

"Pelle, come with me to dinner in the evening. ”

When he was about to get off work, Yu Wenfei pushed open the office door and said to the secretary's room.

Pei'er hurriedly got up and agreed.

Hu Jingjing was a little unhappy, she hurriedly asked, "Boss, do you need me to go together?"

Yu Wenfei was about to turn around and go back to the office, when he heard Hu Jingjing's words, he replied without thinking, "No need." ”

Looking at the figure of Yu Wenfei walking in, Hu Jingjing bit her lip lightly, and her apricot eyes widened.

Since this Pei'er came, his status has plummeted, and now in many activities, Yuwenfei doesn't bring himself to participate, but takes Pei'er instead!

But I also blame myself, I have to go back to school at every turn, after all, I am still a college student.

It didn't matter before, but now Hu Jingjing has a sense of crisis, and the pressure of competition is too great.

Working together every day, she now admires and admires her a little, she does things cleanly, works very efficiently, and understands everything!

In contrast, he is a complete amateur.

Not to mention comparing with Pei'er, just compared with Ji Xiaoyu's new secretaries, they can't be compared......

............

Yuwen Fei didn't think about it so much, and the reason why he took Pei'er was because the person he was going to see tonight had something to do with Pei'er.

Shen Nanpeng graduated from Jiaotong University, and then went to the United States to study, and successively studied mathematics at Columbia University, and Yale's MBA, which is MBA.

Speaking of which, he and Pei'er are still brother and sister!

The reason why I got in touch with Citi is because Shen Nanpeng entered Citi Investment Bank after graduating from Yale, so he is also familiar with the people at Citi.

This time, he got on the line with Yu Wenfei through Citi's relationship.

The world is big, but the real top circle is very small, and everyone can get in touch with each other.

............

At six o'clock in the evening, a big red Ferrari stopped in front of the Peace Hotel.

The car door opened, Yu Wenfei got out of the car directly, threw the car keys to the parking student, and walked into the hotel door with Pei'er.

Senior brother Shen Nanpeng had already booked a box in the Dragon and Phoenix Hall, and was waiting for Yu Wenfei's arrival in the box at this time.

Under the leadership of the waiter, push open the quaint door of Box No. 1.

"Mr. Shen, the guest has arrived. The waiter said respectfully.

In the huge box, there was only one middle-aged man inside, and he greeted him when he heard the voice, "Haha, welcome Mr. Fei." ”

Shen Nanpeng is in his Chinese New Year's Eve, tall, personable, and wears a pair of rimless myopic glasses.

"Hello Senior Brother Shen, I've heard of the name for a long time. Yu Wenfei also greeted with a smile.

The two shook hands tightly, and Yu Wenfei introduced again: "This is my secretary Pei'er, and she can be regarded as your senior brother." ”

Shen Nanpeng was surprised: "Oh, Peer, are you a graduate of Columbia University or Yale?"

Obviously, Peier is a foreigner, so naturally she can't graduate from Jiaotong University, so it can only be Columbia or Yale.

Pei'er said with a smile: "Hello Senior Brother Shen, I graduated from Yale Law School. ”

"The top students of the law school are not bad!" Shen Nanpeng praised, Yale's law school is the most famous, and the top students deserve it.

After getting to know each other, the three of them sat down.

Shen Nanpeng told the waiter to start serving.

In this kind of dinner, no one cares what you eat, the key is what you talk about.

Yu Wenfei first picked up the topic and said: "I heard that Senior Brother Shen's Ctrip will be listed at the end of the year, congratulations." ”

It is said that the company's listing is a great event, because it means that the founder is going to get rich, and judging from the current performance of Ctrip.com, the market value can easily reach more than $5 billion after listing, and Shen Nanpeng's net worth will also be hundreds of millions of dollars.

Ctrip has raised several rounds of financing, although Yu Wenfei has not had an in-depth understanding, he can guess that Shen Nanpeng's shares will not be too much, not to mention that he is only one of the founders.

Shen Nanpeng didn't have a smile on his face, but sighed and said, "Maybe after Ctrip goes public, I'm going to leave." ”

"Brother Shen is the founder of Ctrip, and he is also the chairman and CEO, how can you leave? Yu Wenfei was surprised.

"It's not too complicated, it's just my personal opinion, the other shareholders of Ctrip, except for capital, are all my good friends and brothers. In the past, when we started a business together, it was full of passion, but after the company went public, I didn't want to cause my friends to turn against me because of interests. Besides, Ctrip's ceiling is there, and being able to operate this company to the public is already at its peak, and I should retreat and do something else. ”

Shen Nanpeng's words contain a lot of meanings.

But there are two points, Yu Wenfei has been very clear.

First, there are problems between Ctrip's internal founding teams, most of which are conflicts of interest, and it is no wonder that in the face of huge wealth, there are many cases where even brothers have opposing goals.

Second, Shen Nanpeng wants to quit Ctrip and do something else, which is mostly related to himself......

His mind was spinning rapidly, and when he recalled his dream, Shen Nanpeng's development trajectory.

This is a big celebrity, there have been many reports about his resume, and Yu Wenfei has worked closely with him, so he also knows it.

If it weren't for his own appearance, then Shen Nanpeng would have completely quit Ctrip and resigned from all his positions a year after Ctrip's listing. Of course, he should have also gotten a large amount of cash, because he turned around and joined forces with Sequoia Capital to create Sequoia Capital China Fund.

And I didn't join as a part-time worker, but directly as a global partner, and it was obvious that I went in with a lot of money.

Now the appearance of Yuwenfei has also indirectly changed Shen Nanpeng's fate, because now that Ctrip has not been listed, Shen Nanpeng is beginning to find a way out.

But well......

This old senior is also a capable person, and it is too condescending to stay in Ctrip all the time, if he can really cooperate with him, it is indeed a great thing.

Yuwenfei is not short of money now, nor is there a shortage of middle and low-level employees, what is lacking is elite executives!

Even, it is a top talent at the partner level!

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Yu Wenfei's face, and he said sincerely: "I don't know if there is anything I can help, Senior Brother Shen just speak." ”

Shen Nanpeng also smiled, and he said: "I heard that junior brother, you have a new project, which is that WeChat, which is currently being financed?"

Yu Wenfei understood, it turned out that Shen Nanpeng's purpose was WeChat!

Sure enough, good eye!

It is not a loss that he was later known as the "godfather of investment", and was also crowned by the media as "the first person to invest in China" and "Forbes World's Best Venture Capitalist".

"Senior Shen, the valuation of WeChat is not low," Yu Wenfei said meaningfully......

He was very skeptical that Shen Nanpeng could come up with so much money, WeChat was valued at 5 billion US dollars, even if it was one percent of the shares, it would be 50 million US dollars.

What's more, the round of financing, but WeChat is not short of money, and those who can get the admission tickets are powerful investment banks, or shareholders who are important to the WeChat project.

Bringing in too weak shareholders will not be considered.

Shen Nanpeng's Ctrip has not been listed after all, where did he find so much money?

"Don't worry about money, if Mr. Fei opens his mouth to let me in, there should be 10 million shares in WeChat's financing gap this time, and I will pay for 500 million US dollars!" Shen Nanpeng stared at Yu Wenfei with blazing eyes and said without hesitation.

This made Yu Wenfei a little surprised, where did Shen Nanpeng get the confidence?

"Senior, are you representing an investment bank or an individual investor?" he asked tentatively.

"It doesn't represent any investment bank, it's purely a personal investment! I know you're worried about my source of funds, don't worry, I've also been an investment bank at Citi for many years, and I'm quite familiar with financial operations. Although Ctrip is not listed yet, my shares cannot be cashed out, but ...... With my relationship with Citi and Deutsche Bank, I can mortgage a large amount of money!" Shen Nanpeng happily opened his hole cards.

It turned out that he was going to mortgage his shares in Ctrip, and it seems that Shen Nanpeng has made up his mind to break away from Ctrip.

Share mortgage is also a common means of financial operation, and there are many capital masters who use this method to the best of their ability.

There are also many such entrepreneurs in China, such as the famous Jabbs!

He directly cashed out tens of billions of cash through share pledges, and of course, he also made those banks miserable.

Shen Nanpeng has a deep relationship with Citibank and Deutsche Bank, and Ctrip is indeed a high-quality enterprise, and the "Internet + mouse" model was first proposed by Ctrip, which is actually the so-called "Internet +" concept in later generations.

The funding problem has been solved, and now the question is whether Yuwenfei should introduce such an investor.

Yu Wenfei picked up the chopsticks unhurriedly, picked up a shrimp ball, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, thinking quickly in his mind.

Originally, he planned to introduce another big investment bank like Sequoia Capital, IDG, and even Temasek, but now the situation has changed, and Shen Nanpeng himself sent it to the door.

Shen Nanpeng saw that Yu Wenfei didn't speak, and he was slightly nervous.

For Yu Wenfei and the face lineage, he has studied it for a long time, and he doesn't know how many of the various materials he has.

In the end, it was judged that in the future in the domestic Internet field, if there is really an "oligopoly enterprise", it is Facebook!

Facebook and Facebook games, these two companies have already formed a general trend, and Shen Nanpeng has no chance to become a shareholder, and if he joins to be an executive, he is unwilling.

The launch of WeChat made his eyes light up and he felt that his opportunity had come!

Especially when he learned from Citi's old friend that WeChat was raising money, and Citi did not plan to follow the investment because of its own investment philosophy, Shen Nanpeng was ecstatic!

This is definitely the best opportunity given by God, for this reason, he did not hesitate to give up the upcoming listing of Ctrip.com, negotiated with Citi, pledged all the shares in his hand, and made a desperate bet to win the opportunity to become a shareholder of WeChat!

Now, it depends on Yu Wenfei to nod his head......
