Chapter 483: Fresh Track
I have to say that Rosen, who does not enter the oil and salt, makes the three major investment banks very helpless.
There are dozens of partners standing behind Lawson Law Firm, which together is still a lot of force.
But it is not a way to drag it out like this, and it is easy to be underestimated by Zhang Yida, so the three major investment banks had to negotiate privately with Rosen.
As long as he is willing to give money, Rosen is still very talkative.
Rosen made an offer of $20 million, and the three major investment banks naturally did not want to be blackmailed.
After several bargains, the three major investment banks finally paid $6 million.
After communicating with the investor, Lawson Law Firm withdrew the lawsuit.
The three major investment banks brought the good news of solving the trouble to Zhang Yida, saying that they used the energy of Wall Street to deter Lawson Law Firm.
Zhang Yida didn't doubt it too much, and felt that the three major investment banks were indeed quite energetic, and easily settled a class action lawsuit.
Representatives of the three major investment banks also appropriately put forward their own requirements, hoping that Ruixiang and Zhonghe could cooperate again when they were listed.
Zhang Yida said that under the same conditions, priority will definitely be given to the three major investment banks.

"The blockchain revolution has arrived, and this is a great technological revolution that prospers, and perishes if it goes against it. Its subversion of tradition will be more rapid and thorough than the Internet and mobile Internet......"
In the middle of the night, in the group of CEOs of the companies invested by Zhenke Fund, Xu Xiaoming posted a long article.
In addition to calling on entrepreneurs to establish their own businesses, it also allows everyone to understand the blockchain, understand the ICO, and enter the blockchain era.
Xu Xiaoming also said that it is necessary to immediately mobilize all executives and employees to learn how to embrace this revolution.
Xu Xiaoming also gave Zhang Yida a special session and asked him to talk about the application of blockchain in Ruixiang's industries.
Zhang Yida was speechless, this teacher Xu Xiaoming was not satisfied with more than a dozen unicorns after he voted for him, why did he go to the troubled waters of the currency circle?
It is true that many people in the currency circle have made a lot of money, but there are more leeks that have lost money.
Xu Xiaoming is so high-profile, I am afraid that he will have a mixed reputation in the future, and the evening will not be guaranteed.
Zhang Yida wanted to pretend that he didn't see this WeChat message, but Xu Xiaoming made another call and asked him to say a few words in the group to warm up.
Zhang Yida reluctantly typed in the group and wrote: "Blockchain technology has been applied in the financial industry with relatively mature landing......
However, Ruixiang will not carry out ICO, but only focus on the underlying technology and landing applications. ”
Zhang Yida's last sentence made Xu Xiaoming not particularly satisfied.
He mentioned to Zhang Yida a long time ago that the currency circle has a lot to do and he must enter the market as soon as possible.
But Zhang Yida didn't issue virtual currency even if he was killed, and he couldn't force it.
Zhang Yida rarely speaks in the group, but as soon as he speaks at this moment, the CEO group of 500 people explodes directly.
Many CEOs said that they want to embrace the blockchain era, to transform, and how to do it.
Zhang Yida retreated directly, he was not very interested in this thing.
Ruixiang makes a virtual currency, and it is easy to cut billions of leeks, but how can it be?
How can there be a sense of accomplishment in cutting leeks and American leeks.
Although Zhang Yida spoke in a very low-key manner and said that he would not conduct an ICO, the chat records of the CEO group of Zhenke Fund still circulated on the Internet.
"Zhang Yida waving the flag, Xu Xiaoming shouting, the blockchain era has arrived",
"The richest people are investing in blockchain", "Looking for the next Zhang Yida in the blockchain field".
The media had to scribble, which gave Zhang Yida a headache, so he had to quickly clarify, saying that he did not invest in any virtual currency, and only valued blockchain technology, and everyone should not be confused with technology and ICO.
Regarding Zhang Yida's clarification, most people were skeptical, thinking that this was "wanting to welcome or refuse".
Bitcoin has dropped a bit from last year's high of $20,000, and many people have begun to deposit their faith with the purpose of buying the bottom.
On the side of Ruixiang Industrial Investment Fund, the mailbox is also filled with investment plans for various virtual currency projects.
Lan Lan came to ask Zhang Yida how to deal with it. Zhang Yida called all passed, and no one remained.
Including Sun Yuchen, they all made a phone call to Zhang Yida again, asking if he wanted to get in the car and give him a guarantee to earn 10 billion.
For the crazy currency circle, Zhang Yida has no interest at all, but has shifted his attention to fresh e-commerce.
The fresh track is a relatively long track, and no company has successfully made a profit.
The most widely circulated phrase in the industry is "the leftover is king", and whoever can survive to the end will be the biggest winner.
There is also a "retail death valley", which refers to the fact that after a chain of retail stores has opened many stores, management and IT costs will first rise, which will lead to losses and negative cash flow.
This means that more stores need to be opened to cover administrative costs.
On the basis of finding commonalities, the headquarters should go upstream to integrate the supply chain to reduce costs or develop new products.
Only by squeezing out profits from upstream or developing higher-margin products can retail companies get out of the valley of death.
From Shunfeng Preferred, No. 1 store, which appeared in 2012, to Wumart and Yonghui's attempt at e-commerce operation, followed by Tiantian Orchard, Delicious Qiqi, and then to Hema Fresh and Daily Youxian.
In the past six years, there have been three waves of entrepreneurial outlets, but none of them dare to say that they have found the right way to open the business and lose money.
This year, the fourth wave began to emerge. Players from all walks of life are rushing to seize the small business format of the community and carry out high-penetration play, which is also the embodiment of the escalation of the fresh battlefield war.
After the exploration of the predecessors, the entrepreneurs all believe that they have found the right way to open.
Zhang Yida had some ideas, but he was not in a hurry to implement them, but went to Meicai.com and met with their CEO Liu Chuanjun.
Liu Chuanjun was born in 82, wears glasses, is slightly fat, and looks like he is from a technical background, which is very similar to Su Hua's temperament.
In fact, this is exactly what happened. He holds a master's degree in space physics from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and has participated in the research of the Shenzhou 6 and 7 spacecraft, the Chang'e-3 satellite, and the Martian exploration satellite Firefly-1.
Later, he went to the sea to start a business, and the Wowotuan he founded was once the industry leader, and later Huang Xin had the last laugh.
In the middle of 14 years, he founded Meicai.com and received an angel investment of 10 million yuan from Zhenke Fund.
Later, Xu Xiaoping introduced the project to Zhang Yida, and Ruixiang invested 10 million US dollars in the A+ round of financing and obtained 10% of the shares of Meicai.com.
Now the valuation of Meicai.com has reached 2.8 billion US dollars, and from the book point of view, Ruixiang has made a lot of money from this investment.
However, like most of its fresh food peers, Meicai.com still failed to make a profit.
Liu Chuanjun said with a smile: "It's the first time for Mr. Zhang to come to Meicai Internet Cafe?"
Zhang Yida smiled and nodded, when it came to investment, he was just more attentive and hands-on when he invested in TMD in the early stage. The rest of the matter has always been Lan Lan in charge of following up.
