Chapter 308: 30 billion burned
"Okay, these terms are fine, I promised!"
A few days later, Zhang Yida went to Bilibili Company and heard Chen Rui list a number of terms such as one, two, three, four, etc., and all agreed to them.
Xu Yi was very happy, and glanced at Li Ni, meaning look, I still said it!
"Mr. Zhang, are you sure you don't think about it?"
Even Chen Rui is a little strange, these terms he has made cannot be said to be excessive, but ordinary major shareholders can't accept them.
"I will not forcibly change the status quo of station B, but will only provide more resources to station B.
In addition, I believe that under your leadership, B will definitely be able to go further. ”
Hearing Zhang Yida's praise, several people were still quite happy.
"I also have a small request, that is, I hope that Station B will start a live broadcast e-commerce business. ”
Chen Rui asked, "Is it the live broadcast that Douyu just started recently?"
"Yes. Zhang Yida nodded, "Douyu's live broadcast is a small attempt by my Daya Media and them.
The result is very good, and for the live broadcast platform, there is another major revenue. ”
"Well, since Mr. Zhang, you have spoken, then let's try it at Station B!"
Chen Rui saw that Zhang Yida agreed so happily on the terms, and he didn't dwell on these little things.
"By the way, in addition to buying old shares, Ruixiang and Doushi will also jointly increase their capital by 200 million US dollars to Station B, is there no problem?"
"No problem, originally we only planned to raise $150 million in Series C financing, and it would be best to raise $200 million. ”
Chen Rui doesn't seem to care about the dilution of his stake at all.
"Okay, let's contact the investors in Series A and Series B! ”
Then, Chen Rui invited several major venture capital institutions to invest in Bilibili.
In addition to Ruixiang's 12% stake in Station B, other investment institutions also hold 40.1% of Station B's shares.
Ruixiang and Doushi offered a good price, $1 billion.
According to this valuation, the investment institutions that invest in station B can get several times the return, and the investment time is only about one year, which is quite good, and the major investment institutions have sold their shares in station B.
Ruixiang and Doushi each contributed US$300.5 million, totaling US$601 million, of which US$401 million was used to buy the old shares sold by major venture capital institutions, and US$200 million was used as capital injection into Station B.
After the completion of a series of transactions, Ruixiang will hold 35.04% of the shares of Station B, Douyin will hold 25.04% of the shares of Station B, and the management will hold another 39.92% of the shares.
In addition, Ruixiang will also jointly launch a $200 million "cultural revival" fund with Station B.
Among them, Ruixiang invested 198 million US dollars as LP, and B station invested 2 million US dollars as a GP to manage this fund, focusing on domestic original animation, comics and other content and IP.
After solving a series of investments in Station B, the matter of Colin Building was also handled by Lin Zhenyang.
With a unit price of 38,888 yuan per square meter and a total price of 2.9166 billion yuan, Ruixiang won the Colin Building with a total construction area of 75,000 square meters.
To this end, Ruixiang also held a "housewarming ceremony".
In fact, there was no actual housewarming at all, and the employees still worked in the same building, but the building changed its name.
It turned out that the exterior wall logo of the Colin Group was removed and replaced with a sharp cartoon elephant logo.
Zhang Yida suggested keeping a low profile, but investors must hold a housewarming ceremony and invite a circle of media reporters to help publicize it.
When ordinary people buy new houses at home, they have to treat them to dinner. Ruixiang spent nearly 3000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Therefore, Zhang Yida rarely put on a black suit today, and wore a corsage on his chest, and greeted all the bigwigs in the colorful building hall.
Ruixiang's various shareholders and investment institutions have sent flower baskets, counting the hundreds of flower baskets sent by various partners, which is a bit embarrassing, and there is almost no place to put them.
The former TMD Sanjiyou Company also sent a flower basket, but only Huang Xin was present.
Zhang Yida was somewhat helpless, and Chen Wei and Zhang Ming began to gradually distance themselves from him because of business competition.
There were quite a few reporters present today, and Zhang Yida was interviewed by them in the hall.
"Mr. Zhang, as the first Ruixiang among the three small giants of RMD to own the headquarters building, does it mean that Ruixiang has begun to enter a comprehensive profit?"
The reporter's question was very interesting, and Zhang Yida replied: "In addition to mobile payment, Ruixiang's other businesses have entered a profitable state. ”
The next reporter asked: "At a time when magnesium group and Didi are still burning huge amounts of money, Ruixiang has begun to buy buildings, is Zhang always the Internet finance industry with a very high profit margin?"
Zhang Yida shook his head and said: "The Internet finance industry is far from being as profitable as the outside world imagines, on the contrary, our annual investment in financial technology research and development is sky-high.
Because in our minds, risk control always comes first!"
"In today's world, when major Internet companies are burning money for the market, some Internet experts say that Ruixiang's behavior of buying real estate is very earthy. What do you think about this, Mr. Zhang?"
"Turtles are not turtles, I don't make any evaluations. Buying a building to build your own headquarters is to improve the sense of belonging of employees.
Just like ordinary people, after working to earn money, they will also buy a house in the city or go back to their hometown to build a house.
I think this is a very common thing, and the outside world doesn't need to read too much. ”
……
Our reporter reported for you: Recently, someone provided "fruit strip lending" through an online lending platform between acquaintances, that is, when borrowing, the borrower replaced the IOU with a photo of the fruit body holding the ID card.
In the event of default, the lender will use the disclosure of the photo of the fruit and the means of contacting the borrower's parents as a threat to force the borrower to repay the loan......"
When the time came to June, the Internet and TV stations began to blow a 12-level typhoon about the "Guotiao Incident".
This incident caused an uproar on the Internet.
College students have always been the pride of Chinese society. Even if the expanded college students are becoming less and less valuable, they are more than that in the eyes of the outside world!
Female college students, in order to borrow thousands of dollars, use their own fruits as collateral for loans!
It simply refreshed people's three views, while everyone spurned the shamelessness of female college students, some people also set their eyes on online loans, which are becoming more and more popular in China.
Borrowing shellfish, as the place where the fruit strips took place, this platform was pulled out and whipped corpses.
Wang Lu, CEO of Loan, walked into the office of Hu Gang, the chairman of the company, with a solemn expression.
"Yo, come on!"
Hu Gang sneered twice and pointed to a large stack of newspapers on his desk, "Take a look! It's all your great achievements! ”
Wang Lu glanced at the newspapers on the table, which were full of shocking headlines.
"Female College Students Involved in Fruit Loans and Dropped Out of School"
"Female college students are threatened by criminals, and if you don't pay back, you will publish your fruit photos"
"Alert! A New Type of Illegal Loans Intrude on Campus"
……
Wang Lu sighed, "Mr. Hu, I have already investigated, and this matter really has nothing to do with us." ”
"It's not big? If you can't solve this matter, you don't have to open the loan. ”
Hu Gang also lost face in the circle because of this incident. He is more or less a well-known rich man in China! When this kind of thing happens, I really want to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Wang Lu said: "In this incident, some girls who love vanity and don't know what to do are using fruit strips as evidence to make fruit loans.
They made deals with some criminals privately, and then disguised themselves as normal customers to trade in Lendingbei, and they bypassed the supervision of Lendingbao through a yin-yang contract.
In fact, it was an illegal loan on a third-party platform, and in the end, a few girls leaked their photos because they couldn't pay back.
We're borrowing Beibei to take the blame for them!
Mr. Hu, don't worry, I have already made an announcement on the platform. In addition, the PR department is also taking action.
We will definitely suppress this public opinion in the shortest possible time. ”
Hu Gang now deeply feels how muddy the water of domestic Internet finance is, Zhang Yida was reluctant to borrow money at the beginning, does he know that there are many pits?
"How many daily active users do we have now?" After Hu Gang finished his anger, he began to worry about the platform's upcoming VAM.
"About 8 million. Wang Lu gritted his teeth and said the number. After speaking, he didn't dare to look at Hu Gang, whose face was as black as the bottom of the pot.
"The bet we signed is to reach 80 million daily active users, and now it is only 8 million daily active users, do you think there is any hope to complete the bet?"
Wang Lu hesitated a little, and shook his head after a while.
Hu Gangxin was half cold, the A round of financing was 2.5 billion, if the bet failed, in addition to repurchasing the 2.5 billion shares, he would also compensate the investor for 15% of the interest.
From last year to this year, it was a real money that smashed into billions, and it smashed out 8 million daily active users.
Oh, and there's also a nationally famous fruit stick!
Hu Gang's intestines are now repentant, doesn't it mean that the Internet industry is burning money to do scale?
I also burned the money, but the scale was not done.
"How much is the 2.5 billion in round A financing?"
"And 1.5 billion. Wang Lu replied.
"Don't burn this money yet, all promotional activities will be stopped. ”
Hu Gang is really panicking now, plus the 2 billion last year, a total of 30 billion yuan has been burned out for promotion.
It was very cool when burning money, and the thousand-degree search index once surpassed the WeChat New Year red envelope.
The post-investment valuation of 52.5 billion even exceeded the 46.6 billion of Goudong Finance.
The scenery is over, and Hu Gang is now a little worried that it will be difficult to ride a tiger.
"Huh?" Wang Lu was very surprised and reminded: "Mr. Hu, if we stop promoting it now, the first 30 billion will be burned in vain." ”
"Let's stop!"
Hu Gang asked Wang Lu to go out first and dialed Zhang Yida's phone.
