Chapter 232: A lifesaver

Zhang Yida, Huang Xiwen and Li Chuan were discussing cooperation on the side, and Guo Yisheng couldn't help but interject: "Mr. Zhang, you Ruixiang Industrial Investment Fund, can we join Hong Leong Group?"

"All welcome!" Zhang Yida smiled and added: "But the lock-in period of our industrial fund is relatively long, 5+2 years, and the longest may be 7 years to get returns." ”

Guo Yisheng nodded, he also studied in business school, so he naturally knew the operation mode and duration of the industrial fund, and seven years was normal.

"I went home and told my dad that if I could, we would like to participate in one too. ”

Guo Huiqi is not stupid, seeing that several of them are clamoring to contribute to the Ruixiang Industrial Fund, she also thinks that this is a good business, and she doesn't want to miss this opportunity, so she shouts to participate.

The difference is that the others are all in their thirties and are basically in charge of the family business.

She is different, she is only twenty-three or fourteen years old, she has only graduated for less than two years, and she can basically only participate in the more marginal business of the family.

Plus, she's a girl again. In their family, although the usual food and clothing are compared to those of their elder brothers. But after all, she is a woman, and if she wants to marry in the future, she can't be such a big master.

"Okay, Miss Guo will go home and discuss it with her parents, I am very much looking forward to cooperating with your family. ”

Looking at Zhang Yida's blazing eyes, Guo Huiqi quickly reacted, this sentence is the meaning of "pun".

In addition to industrial investment funds, it also refers to Jincheng Consumer Finance Company.

"Okay, I'll give Mr. Zhang a reply in time. ”

Li Hengbo, Chen Bingyao and others saw Zhang Yida and they were happily discussing in a small circle here, and they also gathered around.

"Big guy, what are you talking about here?"

"Let's also listen to it, and it feels like there's some great trade secret. ”

Looking at the group of rich third generations who surrounded themselves, Zhang Yida couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "We are discussing the third phase of the cooperation Ruixiang Industrial Fund. ”

"The third phase of the industrial fund has been established, which is very efficient. Li Hengbo gave Zhang Yida a thumbs up.

"The second phase of the industrial fund has already been spent cleanly, and our own funds have been invested hundreds of millions of dollars. In China, Japan, South Korea, India, and Southeast Asia, there are companies in which we invest. ”

Zhang Yida's words immediately aroused the curiosity of a group of rich three generations, and they asked him to tell him which companies they had invested in.

Zhang Yida also gave a general description of the companies he has invested, including name, industry, valuation growth rate, investment amount, and future prospects...... and so on.

Many rich third generations have heard of these companies, such as Grab, GoJek, and Laizenda, and have praised Zhang Yida's good vision, and they have also expressed their intention to participate in the investment.

Looking at the group of rich third generations around him who regard themselves as the God of Wealth, Zhang Yida said that they are welcome to participate in the investment, and added their contact information one by one, saying that they will be sent a report on the operation of the Ruixiang Industrial Fund for their reference in the future.

After a banquet, Zhang Yida deservedly became the shining protagonist.

Zhang Yida also made good connections and met a group of Chinese chaebol children from Southeast Asian countries.

……

"Mr. Lee, I acquired a game company in South Korea that has developed a shooting game that is expected to be launched within this year.

Are you interested in proxy?"

Within the Sea group company, after Zhang Yida learned about the company's recent operating data and financial data, he opened his mouth to promote the upcoming "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" game.

"Huh, you're still developing games?"

Li Xiaodong, CEO of Sea Group, was quite surprised, "Hold the grass, you are a financial tycoon, what kind of game are you doing! This is a typical lack of business!

"Haha!" Zhang Yida said with a smile: "I'm just going to try it across the border." ”

Although Li Xiaodong didn't think that Zhang Yida, a newcomer in the game industry, could make any awesome games, but considering that the other party was also a shareholder of Sea, he sold face and nodded in agreement:

"Let's do it! When the game is developed, we will send someone to South Korea to test it, and there will be no problem with it!

However, Yida, I'll tell you the ugly things in front of you. In this game industry, it's normal for a game to hit the streets, and you shouldn't take it too seriously.

In the future, the more experience you have, the commercial success rate of the game will gradually increase. ”

Zhang Yida couldn't cry or laugh, my game hasn't been released yet!

When "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is officially released, it hurts to slap your face.

Zhang Yida didn't explain much, he had to understand the affection of others, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Brother Dong!"

"When is Sea thinking about going public?" asked Zhang Yida.

"Can't wait?" Li Xiaodong glanced at Zhang Yida.

"What do you mean by can't wait! Ruixiang is really short of money. Zhang Yida also joked.

Li Xiaodong hurriedly stopped him, Rui Xiang was short of money, and the sea should go bankrupt.

"You have raised $2.5 billion, even I have heard about it in Singapore, and I have to say that it is awesome. ”

Li Xiaodong let out a long sigh and said, "It's still better in China! It has a large population and a large market. Only in such an environment can a super unicorn like Ruixiang be hatched!"

Zhang Yida saw him express his life feelings here, and said with a smile: "It's still your sea cool, using domestic models and employees to reduce the dimensionality of Southeast Asia."

In the entire Southeast Asian market, there is no one who can fight.

We are different, the pressure on us is very great. ”

"I can't say that, the Vietnamese VNG Group has put a lot of pressure on us!" Li Xiaodong behaved modestly, although he has become a game leader in Southeast Asia, he does not have any arrogance.

"Oh, that old unicorn! Founded in 04, it started as an agent for Kingsoft Games. ”

Zhang Yida sent someone to contact VNG Group, but actually rejected Ruixiang's investment intention, so Zhang Yida was very unhappy.

As if seeing through what Zhang Yida was thinking, Li Xiaodong smiled and said, "Have you ever asked them to invest? They started to make a profit in 2013. ”

Zhang Yida smiled and didn't answer. VNG Group has monopolized a number of subdivisions of the Internet field in Vietnam, and is known as the "Little Penguin of Vietnam", which is weaker than the name of Sea's "Little Penguin of Southeast Asia", but it is also very powerful.

Zhang Yida now wants to find an entry point to cut into Vietnam's Internet financial market, and VNG is a good entry point, but he is unwilling to accept investment.

This makes Zhang Yida embarrassed. We have to look for other entry points.

……

"Mr. Bitnay, long time no see. ”

Zhang Yida shook hands with his CEO, Maximilian Bitnet, and greeted each other in Zenda's office.

"Mr. Zhang, see you again, you are already the chairman of a super unicorn company and a listed company.

And your Musical.ly, Green scooter, is also a great company.

It's a great achievement, I dare say, Xiao Mazi can't compare to you when you're the same age. ”

Bitnet's various praises were thrown at Zhang Yida's head as if he didn't want money, and Zhang Yida laughed again and again.

After a few small talks, I quickly got to the point. Bitnet said: "Mr. Zhang, what do you think about the e-commerce market in Southeast Asia?"

"It's about the same as when our country was a few years old, with a group of heroes and deer, and the princes competing for hegemony. ”

Bitnet nodded, agreeing with Zhang Yida's statement. He continued, "We have Sea's Shope in Singapore and Tokopedia and Bukalapak in Indonesia to compete with us......

Bitnet kept listing the competitors he had encountered in various countries in Southeast Asia, and the more Zhang Yida listened, the more he frowned, is it as serious as you say? It sounds like the whole world is like your enemy.

"Having said all this, I actually want to express one meaning. If we want to win the final victory, we need to invest a lot of money in the future.

We lost $150 million in 2014 and $210 million in 2015. ”

Zhang Yida interrupted Bitnet, who was chattering, looked at the latter with firm eyes, and said, "Mr. Bitnet, we have confidence in your management team, and we will definitely be able to win this e-commerce battle."

Say, how much do you need to finance?"

Bitnet smiled "hehe", compared three fingers to Zhang Yida, and said, "300 million euros!"

Zhang Yida took a sip of the coffee on the table, looked at Bitnet for a long time, and then asked, "What about the valuation?"

"1.5 billion euros before investing!"

Zhang Yida shook his head and said, "It's too high! ”

Bitnet quickly explained: "Mr. Zhang, this is not high at all, compared to the more than 1.2 billion euros when you invested a few months ago, the valuation has only increased by more than 200 million euros. ”

Zhang Yida knows that he is short of money when he comes to Zanda, at this time, can he not take advantage of the fire to rob?

So he sighed and said, "Your losses are too great, you have lost $360 million in two years, and ordinary companies can't afford to support you!"

Bitnet flattered: "Ruixiang is different! Ruixiang is a super unicorn with billions of dollars in cash, and a little bit of your fingers is enough for us to come to Zanda for several years." ”

Zhang Yida smiled coldly in his heart, you also have today, the last investment increased my price by 200 million euros, and this time I must compensate Lao Tzu back.

"Hey, Ruixiang also has to expand its business and lay out the upstream and downstream industrial chains. For the e-commerce sector, we can only say that it is a financial investment.

In principle, the amount of investment does not exceed $100 million.

300 million euros is equivalent to 330 million US dollars, which is too large for our board of directors to agree with. ”

Looking at Zhang Yida with an embarrassed face, Bit's heart was half cold, the funds in Zanda's account were already less than 200 million US dollars, and if this loss state was maintained, the funds might dry up after another half a year.

He consulted the German parent company, but the parent company was unwilling to invest any longer, and asked him to find venture capital to solve the funding problem, or simply sell the company.

Bitnet was not reconciled, and looked for investors in the previous rounds, and everyone frowned again and again when they saw Zanda's financial report, and then heard the valuation, there was no follow-up.

Therefore, Zhang Yida, who came from afar, became the only lifesaver for Zanda.

Now that the lifesaver is unwilling to invest more, Bitnet's heart is shaken for the first time, and he thinks about whether to persevere.

He thought to himself, if he is really desperate, then he might as well sell the company!
