After negotiating with the team and shareholders for a while, Liu Chuanjun decided to move closer to Ruixiang.

Ruixiang Industrial Investment Fund participated in the A+ round of financing of Meicai.com, and 10% of the shares were diluted in the later rounds of financing, and only 5.44% is left.

After receiving the investment of US$400 million from Ruixiang Phase III Industrial Investment Fund, Ruixiang's shareholding ratio will rise to 17.94%.

Making this decision is still difficult for Liu Chuanjun.

Because of the acceptance of this financing, Meicai.com will be deeply labeled as "Ruixiang" and keep Ahri and penguins out.

Considering Zhang Yida's repeated miracles, Liu Chuanjun still chose to bet on him.

For the fresh track, who will have the last laugh in the future, and will it be profitable in the future?

Zhang Yida didn't know these problems, so he could only choose to "throw himself on the track".

In addition to Meicai.com, Zhang Yida also asked Xu Zheng, CEO of Daily Youxian, to meet.

Xu Zheng is not a simple person, born in 1981, admitted to the University of Science and Technology of China at the age of 15, and started a business with his classmates at the age of 17, mainly engaged in pager business.

At the age of 25, he became the youngest business general manager of the world's top 500 companies, and at the age of 28, he became the general manager of Lenovo's notebook division.

Zhang Yida and Xu Zheng have met several times, but they don't know each other well. Ruixiang invested in the Pre-A round of financing of 5 million US dollars, and Lan Lan has been responsible for following up the project.

As a person who knows how to do business at the age of 17, Xu Zheng is very active.

He guessed that Zhang Yida came to the door in person, and there must be something important, because Lan Lan had always been dealing with him before.

didn't rush to ask about the intention, but joked with Zhang Yida: "If I hadn't sold pagers back then, but did e-commerce, maybe I would have become the richest man." ”

Zhang Yida smiled: "Don't say it, it's really possible." ”

Xu Zheng sighed, shook his head and smiled: "No, when we were in college, it was not easy to get venture capital."

Turtles like Charles Zhang and Robin Lee are more popular, while turtles like Jack Ma and us are not favored at all.

When I was able to get venture capital, maybe I would have taken a break from school to start a business. ”

Zhang Yida nodded, "Thanks to the blessing of entering the new era, now college students can also get venture capital, compared with our predecessors, our generation of entrepreneurs is indeed a lot happier." ”

Afraid that Zhang Yida would misunderstand his words, Xu Zheng continued: "Angel investment and Series A financing are easy to get, but the difficulty is to bring a project on the right track and bring it into a profitable state."

If I were given $50 million in 13 years, five years later, I wouldn't dare to package a ticket to return the investor with a $66.6 billion sharp direction. ”

Xu Zheng spoke very well, and praised Zhang Yida again without making a sound.

Zhang Yida has seen too much praise, he has already become numb, and he will not get carried away because of one or two praises.

He came to Xu Zheng, in fact, it was for investment.

As a representative company of the front-end warehouse model, Daily Youxian is favored by capital.

Since its inception at the end of 14 years, it has received 7 consecutive rounds of financing, with a valuation of more than $1.5 billion.

The only thing that is a little tricky is that the penguin has followed three rounds in a row, and the shareholding ratio is higher than that of Ruixiang.

Now that the whole world knows that Penguin and Ruixiang have parted ways, at this time, Xu Zheng still dares to accept Ruixiang's investment, and there is a big question mark.

After chatting briefly with Xu Zheng about the business, Zhang Yida said directly: "It's been half a year since the C+ round of financing, is Daily Youxian interested in another round of financing?"

This stumped Xu Zheng, and the representative of Penguin Investment once vaguely reminded him to kick out the Ruixiang Industrial Investment Fund.

But he didn't dare, after all, Ruixiang is not a small company, the kind that offends casually.

Entrepreneurship is actually doing business, and I would rather have more friends than one less enemy.

Fortunately, Ruixiang does not hold many shares, and after several rounds of dilution, only 4.94% remains, not even the 5% important position line.

Seeing that Xu Zheng had been playing Tai Chi, the penguins had not been forcing him.

Now Zhang Yida wants to invest in Daily Youxian, which is forcing him to stand in line.

No matter which side you are on, you will offend the other side.

What he admires the most is Chen Wei, and Didi's shareholders include Penguin, Ahri, and Ruixiang.

Even Didi's merger and acquisition of Uber China, the shareholders also added a thousand degrees by the way.

With so many shareholders, he doesn't know how Chen Wei balances the forces of all parties.

Anyway, the trick of the left and right sources was played to a new height by Chen Wei.

"Mr. Zhang, this matter surprised me, why did you suddenly remember to invest in Daily Fresh?"

Zhang Yida said with a smile: "We have always been optimistic about the fresh track, and we can't make a profit at the moment, but because the penetration rate is not high, users have not yet developed a habit."

When the uncles and aunts who visit the vegetable market and the fruit market grow old, the day when the daily fresh will be profitable sooner or later. ”

Xu Zheng felt that Zhang Yida's words were very good, and he simply said that his heart was up, but he couldn't offend the penguins because of this.

Xu Zheng said with a smile: "If you are not in a hurry to raise funds, there is still a lot of funds left in the last round of financing, and the next round of financing may have to slow down for a while." ”

Zhang Yida heard the voice, it seems that the other party is going to go to the dark with the penguin.

This is also human nature, Ruixiang plus Zhonghe, the valuation is only one-third of the penguin.

It's a normal person, and you should be able to do multiple-choice questions.

Zhang Yida simply kept silent about the financing, chatted with Xu Zheng for a few more gossips, and left.

Looking at Zhang Yida's reaction, Xu Zheng knew that he had offended the former this time.

But he had no choice, he had to choose to stand in line, he could only hug the penguin with thicker legs.

Zhang Yida really wants to be angry about this matter, and even quit Daily Youxian, then he can't help it.

......

"This month, we inspected a number of companies such as Hema Fresh, Super Species, and 7FRESH, and also asked McKinsey & Company to provide industry consulting reports.

The following conclusions were drawn about the fresh food industry that the group will be involved in. ”

Zhang Yida looked at Xie Zheyuan, who was talking eloquently on the stage of the conference room, this is a senior talent recruited by Zhonghe Group from Yonghui Fresh Food Division.

The other party has served as the vice president of Yonghui and the general manager of the fresh food division, and has very experienced experience in the fresh supply chain and product selection.

did not rush to the project immediately, but asked Xie Zheyuan to take the team deployed by Zhonghe Group. Conduct a survey of the entire fresh food industry.

Now if we analyze the results of these surveys, they are basically some cases of failure, and there is no large-scale profitable enterprise in the fresh food industry.

Zhang Yida was also chatting with the bigwigs of companies related to the fresh food industry during this time, on the one hand, for investment layout, and on the other hand, for a deeper understanding of the industry.

"In the future of fresh food-related retail formats, my team and I judge that there will be two relatively big opportunities.

One is a supermarket model similar to Freshippo, which is convenient for the online part, offline booking + self-pickup.

There is also a community convenience store type, online pre-sale, group purchase, offline self-pickup + delivery. ”

Zhang Yida is listening very carefully, although the fresh track is losing money at the moment, everyone is betting on the future.

When it comes to the volume of Ruixiang and Zhonghe, a little loss can still be bearable, and the most important thing is that no one wants to miss the ticket to the next big era.
