Chapter 16: Growing the Ranks
The air suddenly quieted, Zhou Chengdong was shocked, Xu Xiaoming pondered, and Zhang Yida looked at the ceiling in a daze.
"The scale of your financing is too large, our Zhenke Fund mainly makes early-stage investments, mainly angel rounds and A rounds, and your A rounds are comparable to other people's B and C rounds!"
"Let me think about it!"
Xu Xiaoming broke his calm and said.
Zhang Yida nodded, greeted the two, and left.
"Lao Xu, if you are really embarrassed, forget it! This bastard boy doesn't know how thick the sky is, I'll criticize you when I go back. ”
Zhou Chengdong is a good man, playing a round here.
"Forget it, how can it be, if the second round of promotion activities can really achieve the same good results as he described, I will invest in this investment!"
Xu Xiaoming also said ruthlessly.
"As far as I know, the total size of your Zhenke Phase II fund is 50 million US dollars, right?"
Zhou Chengdong was very familiar with this old friend's company, so he asked.
"The case is too big for our family to eat. When I go back, I will talk to Shen Beipeng of Blackshirt Capital China, let them lead the investment, and we will follow. ”
Xu Xiaoming said with some discouragement. I found a good project, but I couldn't afford it, and at most I drank soup.
"Black-shirted capital China? That's really the landlord. I remember that the relationship between the two of you is good, and they also contributed half of the first fund fundraising. ”
Zhou Chengdong smiled.
"Although Zhang Yida is still in his freshman year, I really think he has a unique temperament, that is, that kind of confidence and calmness that I admire. In just one month, the company has been pulled into the current situation, and it is born to do great things. ”
Xu Xiaoming praised. His favorite investment is young people, preferably elite school students, and no matter how charismatic he is, the best is the leader's temperament. Zhang Yida hit all three, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
"Vote!
Xu Xiaoming secretly made up his mind in his heart.
After the two chatted for a while, Xu Xiaoming left, politely declined Zhou Chengdong's dinner invitation, and did not stay to eat and catch up together, because he was in a hurry to go back to the company for a meeting to discuss the case of Ruixiang Technology.
After Xu Xiaoming left, Zhou Chengdong called Zhang Yida again to report the news. Tell Zhang Yida that Xu Xiaoming is very interested in investing, and he will go to Blackshirt Capital to talk about cooperation and joint investment. Finally, he told Zhang Yida to do a good job in this second round of promotion, and to fight this battle well, and basically the investment will be stable.
Zhou Chengdong is very concerned about Zhang Yida's project, after all, as a resident enterprise of the Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurship Center, it is also under his jurisdiction! The more successful the project, the better, doesn't it prove that he has a good leadership!
Zhang Yida's next period of time can be described as busy and dizzy.
With 36 million in hand, it is finally time to show its strengths.
First of all, Zhou Chengdong approved a 700-square-meter site, and the total office area of Ruixiang Technology reached 1,000 square meters.
Then I contacted the headhunting company and dug 1 human resources director, 1 financial director, and 1 customer service director to join Ruixiang Technology Company.
At the same time, the recruitment of ordinary positions is also urgently launched, and people who come in and out every day are people who come to interview.
After half a month of tossing, Ruixiang Technology Company has swelled a big circle.
The development team of the technical department has been expanded to 3 branches, which are responsible for the development and maintenance of three APPs: Investment and Finance, 365 Bookkeeping Manager, and Kaking Credit Card Manager. Liu Feng was promoted to technical director.
The operation department has been expanded into four groups: product operation, user operation, event planning, and data analysis. Gu Panpan was promoted to Director of Operations.
The marketing department has been expanded to 6 groups: marketing planning, business, promotion, branding, PR marketing and public relations, and channels. Lina Wang was promoted to Marketing Director.
The Finance Department was newly established as two teams: Financial Management and Accounting. Xu Xiaoqing, who had just been poached from Goudong, served as the financial director.
The Administration and Personnel Department was newly established into five teams: Recruitment, Training, Human Resources, Administration, and Legal Affairs. Fang Ping, who was dug from Qiandu, served as the director of administrative personnel.
The customer service department is newly set up as 3 groups: online customer service, telemarketing, and return visitor service. Wang Feiyan, who was poached from Anping Insurance Company, served as the director of customer service.
The number of employees of Ruixiang Technology has expanded from 15 to 100, and the original three functional departments have also expanded to 6. The front desk, administration, human resources, finance, and legal affairs that were not in place have also been added. Finally, it's not a grass platform team.
Because it is all open office area, it is not very crowded for 100 employees to work in an area of 1,000 square meters, but it is not very spacious.
Zhang Yida didn't think about moving out of the Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurship Center and renting a 5A Grade A office building outside, renting one or two floors. But in the end, he still didn't move out, not because he was slamming the door to save money, he felt that he still had to give Lao Zhou a face. At least tens of millions of dollars in Series A financing before moving!
Now that he has moved away, Zhou Chengdong is really not easy to explain. Give him a brush of political achievements and prestige, and it can be regarded as a return for Lao Zhou's care and support for him!
"There are 6 platforms participating in the second phase of promotion in Guangdong Province, 2 in Beijing, and 4 in Modu, a total of 12 platforms, with a total investment amount of 80 million yuan. ”
Lin Zhenyang reported to Zhang Yida seriously.
"Are you ready for copywriting planning and event warm-up?"
Zhang Yida asked.
"All the work is ready, just wait for Mr. Zhang's order, and the little ones will be on me!"
Lin Zhenyang quipped.
"I'm not worried about marketing and operation, the technology has to be done well, I have a hunch that the number of participants in this event is much more than last time, the traffic peak is too high, the website and APP are paralyzed, I want to kill two program apes to sacrifice the sky!"
Zhang Yida said without any mistakes.
"Rest assured, the server configuration has been adjusted, the code has been optimized, and these problems have been taken into account. ”
Lin Zhenyang patted his chest and reassured.
"That's okay, let's officially start the second phase of the coin scattering event tomorrow!"
Zhang Yida ordered.
"By the way, has our high-tech enterprise certified the results? Income tax can be reduced to 15%, you have to follow this matter carefully. ”
Zhang Yida asked again.
"I found an intermediary to help, and I have handed it over, and it will be filed if there is no objection on the website of the high-tech enterprise identification management network for 10 working days. ”
"The intermediary is the one who eats this bowl of rice, don't worry! We can operate it for you in less than a year since we were established, and hundreds of thousands of dollars are not paid for nothing!"
Lin Zhenyang said with relief.
Next, Zhang Yida convened the heads of various departments to hold a mobilization meeting, at which tasks and goals were assigned to each department.
"The technical department, we must do a good job in the technical support of the second phase of the promotion activities, and there must be no gaps. ”
"The operation department, while being responsible for the promotion of this event, should also launch our newly developed 365 bookkeeping butler and Kawang credit card butler to rub traffic, bundle sales, and pull new users. The goal is to attract 1 million new users to each of the two softwares. ”
"The marketing department is responsible for contacting major websites, media, and channels for business cooperation, public relations, brand exposure, and promotion work should be carried out in a timely manner. ”
"The finance department is responsible for accounting for the expenses related to the activities and the distribution, and accuracy and timeliness are the minimum requirements. ”
"The administrative and personnel department, do a good job in logistics support, fruits, afternoon tea and various welfare arrangements are in place. ”
"The customer service department, while doing a good job in customer consultation and customer satisfaction return visits, should also actively carry out marketing work, and follow up with some customers who have registered accounts but gave up investment halfway to facilitate transactions. ”
The work tasks were delivered to the six directors one by one, and then the six directors continued to complete and distribute. The whole company is like a sophisticated machine running at high speed.
On Xu Xiaoming's side, after returning to the company, for the case of Ruixiang Technology, he first appointed the investment manager to carry out research on the Internet finance industry and the analysis of Ruixiang Technology, wrote a project report, and after holding a project approval meeting, it was decided to carry out due diligence on Ruixiang Technology Company.
After talking with Xu Xiaoming, Shen Beipeng of Blackshirt Capital China was also very interested in Ruixiang Technology Company, and then Blackshirt Capital China also set up a project.
Zhenke Fund and Blackshirt Capital China have set up a joint due diligence team to carry out due diligence on the settled enterprises after the end of this round of promotion activities of Ruixiang Technology.
Zhang Yida warmly welcomed this, and the three parties have formally signed the letter of intent for investment, and the A round of financing is also advancing step by step.
"Knock Knock"
Zhang Yida's mobile phone rang.
took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a call from Zhao Erya.
Zhang Yida picked up the phone and said helplessly:
"What's the matter?
"Where did you die this month? I haven't seen you since I came back from National Day. I didn't reply to you on WeChat, and I didn't answer my phone calls, I thought you were abducted and trafficked to Africa?"
Zhao Erya on the other end of the phone puffed up in the dormitory.
"Sometimes when I'm in a company meeting, the phone is always on silent. I've been so busy lately that I forgot to give you back on the phone and WeChat. I'm sorry!"
Zhang Yida explained.
"It's all an excuse to hold a meeting in the company, are you deliberately avoiding me? Am I so annoying?"
Zhao Erya on the other end of the phone pouted unhappily.
Zhang Yida was very embarrassed, and hurriedly said:
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, I really didn't mean to avoid you, I'm really busy!"
"What are you busy with? Do you have so many things to do? You can't just hide in your dorm room and play games every day. ”
Zhao Erya asked a little skeptically.
"Ah, how is that possible! Hiding in the dormitory for a month of continuous games, it is estimated that the grass on the grave is now three feet high. ”
Zhang Yida felt a little funny, Erya's brain was too big, and he said with a smile.
"And where are you now? I'm coming for you. ”
Zhao Erya was a little unconvinced, and said fiercely.
"I'm in the Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurship Center, and when I come in, I can see our company, called Jingcheng Ruixiang Technology Co., Ltd. Come here, come here, and you'll know I'm not lying to you. ”
Zhang Yida finally came up with a way to prove his innocence, that is, he asked Zhao Erya Xiaogong to come over for a field investigation, and he knew that what he said was true.
"Then you wait, don't run, I'll be right here. ”
Zhao Erya let out cruel words.
Zhang Yida listened weirdly, and felt like a primary school student was dating someone. "Wait at the school gate after school, don't run!"
Hung up the phone, Zhao Erya looked in the mirror, brushed her hair, painted a little light makeup, and then left the dormitory and went straight to the Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurship Center of the Second Sect. I haven't seen anyone for a whole month, what else can I do if I don't play a game?
