Chapter 493: Two Swords Combined

After Tokopedia invested $80 million in Ruixiang, it conducted two rounds of financing in the future, and Ruixiang's shareholding decreased from 10% to 7.13%.

Based on today's valuation of $5 billion, the 7.13% stake is also worth $356.5 million, which is more than four times the value of investment.

Bukalapak conducted a round of financing after investing $10 million in Yimin Netfinance, and Yimin's shareholding ratio dropped from 10% to 8.5%.

Based on the valuation of 1 billion, 8.5 points of equity are worth 85 million US dollars, which is 8.5 times higher than the investment.

Neither company is a company, and there is a lot of due diligence that needs to be done.

Zhang Yida simply asked Lan Lan to come over and stare at it, he was going back to China to find money.

I came to Southeast Asia and spent billions of dollars, and there was no one.

It's certainly not all cash, and a large part of it is stocks.

"Returning home?"

Lin Zhenyang, who is promoting mobile payment in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and other places, paused for a moment, and then asked Zhang Yida on the phone: "Is something wrong?"

Zhang Yida smiled, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I want to promote the merger of Ruixiang and Zhonghe Group, and then start the countdown to the listing!"

"Damn, are you serious?"

Lin Zhenyang was really surprised, Zhang Yida didn't mention the listing, he almost forgot about it.

However, if you merge it with Zhonghe, it doesn't seem to have a particularly large additive effect.

"Of course I'm serious, the GMV of Pindoduo has now exceeded 40 billion in a single month, and trillions of GMV a year may only be a matter of one or two years.

Pindodo and Red Book are a basic plate for Ruixiang's mobile payment and consumer credit business.

Ahri and Penguin are now suppressing us more and more ruthlessly, and Ruixiang and Zhonghe should work together to share funds and technology. ”

Lin Zhenyang said with a smile: "Zhonghe spends money so terrifyingly, is it because of Ruixiang's money bag?"

"Haha, I really can't hide it from you at all! But Zhonghe has also begun to make its own blood, and the profit model of the three business lines of advertising, games, and live broadcast has been successfully run. ”

Regarding the merger with Zhonghe, Lin Zhenyang did not have much resistance. After all, he can have today, and he still has to thank Zhang Yida for his support.

He had envisioned the possibility of a merger, and it had been rumored to be there.

But as time passed, Zhang Yida was not moved at all and left it to others' guesses.

Since then, there has been no action, and everyone thinks that there will be no merger.

But when everyone thought it was impossible, Zhang Yida brought up the merger again.

"I don't have any opinions, merger and chat, everyone shares resources, including some overseas businesses and investment layouts can complement each other. ”

Zhang Yida was very relieved to see Lin Zhenyang agreeing so easily.

Now Zhonghe Group is almost destitute, and the local rich man Ruixiang still has more than $10 billion in cash on his stomach.

Moreover, Zhonghe Group is firing on all sides and fighting with major Internet companies, and the situation is much more difficult than Ruixiang.

At this time, Lin Zhenyang is willing to let Ruixiang be tied up with Zhonghe, but he still needs courage.

If you change to a selfish person, you may not agree, and most of you will use the word "drag" to decide, and drag it until Zhonghe makes a profit, and then merge safely.

Lin Zhenyang's character is still very good, otherwise Zhang Yida would not have asked him to start a business together.

After a few more words, Zhang Yida hung up the antelope words.

This decision is very important, and he must first talk to Lin Zhenyang.

After Lin Zhenyang's side is settled, the next is the senior management team and shareholders.

Zhenke Fund and Black Shirt Capital were the first investment institutions, and Zhang Yida was the first to communicate with them.

Zhang Yida made an appointment with Shen Beipeng and Xu Ming at Ligong's house and told them this idea.

"Really......? Merger, huh?"

Xu Ming was very excited, and the whole person was a little incoherent.

Now that he has been left out of the clouds, he feels that he is witnessing his investment myth, a unicorn with a valuation of more than 100 billion US dollars is breaking out of the cocoon.

And it is very likely to surpass Leech Financial and Uber to become the world's most valued unlisted company.

He Xu Ming and Zhenke Fund, as the first investors and investment institutions to discover Zhang Yida, will be famous at home and abroad.

He can't wait to meet this moment, and at that time, the media will definitely turn over the old accounts between him and Dongfang Yu and start comparing the two of them.

When the time comes, step on Dongfang Yu for Lao Tzu!

Thinking of this, Xu Ming's whole person was fluttering.

Shen Beipeng's reaction was much better, although he was also a little shocked, but he quickly calmed down.

"Why at this time?"

Hearing Shen Beipeng's question, Xu Ming also came out of his fantasy state, and he was also very interested in Zhang Yida's sudden enlightenment.

It's not that he hasn't mentioned it before: let Zhang Yida promote the merger of Ruixiang and Zhonghe!

But Zhang Yida didn't listen to it at all, and then he didn't bother to do it.

"The strength can't be dispersed, and the next battle with Ahri and Penguin has to be fought!"

Shen Beipeng bowed slightly, he guessed that this was also the reason.

Since Penguin transferred its equity to SoftBank and withdrew, Ruixiang and Zhonghe have completely gone to the opposite side of Penguin.

Coupled with a behemoth Ahri, any entrepreneur in China will be afraid of this situation.

"Is it going to go public next?"

Zhang Yida felt that Shen Beipeng was really an old fox, and glanced at the latter, who was looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Is it going to be listed? this year?"

Xu Ming asked with a smile, he felt that the surprise that Zhang Yida brought him today was simply bigger than the other!

I had to drink two later, I hadn't been so happy in at least ten years.

"If it is listed, the financial sector of Ruixiang is mature, and the technology sector is still trying to catch up;

Zhonghe's e-commerce is still growing rapidly, the big entertainment sector has just been launched, and short video advertising has not yet ushered in a big explosion, and it will slow down again. ”

The fire that had just ignited in Xu Ming's heart was extinguished by Zhang Yida's words.

The old man scratched his hair and wanted to persuade Zhang Yida to go public this year!

After thinking about it, I still didn't get the words out. Zhang Yida has always been assertive, and the decisions he made have not been wrong, so it is better not to point fingers.

Shen Beipeng looked thoughtful, and only after a long time did he come to say: "It's not a big problem, Penguin also puts its financial business in the listing system." ”

"Is it possible to use Y's influence to develop Ruixiang's fintech business to EU countries? or Latin America?

Let's not think about it in the United States, Leech Financial Services wanted to acquire MoneyGram, but not only did it not succeed, but also posted a $30 million termination fee. ”

Mr. Zhang knew about Mr. Xu's work at the beginning of the year, and the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) rejected the deal in its third round of review.

After the deal was announced, about 20 organizations and institutions sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of the Treasury and Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, Stephen Newchener, opposing the acquisition of MoneyGram by Leech Financial Services.

"There is no doubt that if China can dominate the global payments market, it will use information, technology, intelligence, and economic power to endanger U.S. economic and national security," they said in their letter of opposition. ”

This is despite repeated statements that MoneyGram's data infrastructure will remain in the U.S. and that user information will be encrypted or stored in secure U.S. facilities.

But the Yankees didn't eat this, and ruined the dream of a global mobile payment empire for Leech Financial.

Zhang Yida thought for a while and replied: "The EU and Latin America can try, but don't get too hopeful, there are many countries and markets." ”

"This is natural!" Xu Ming smiled, "Actually, I'm already very satisfied now, if you toss out an empire of three or five hundred billion dollars, I won't reject it." ”

Shen Beipeng found that Xu Mingjin was so happy that he would come as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Now that you've decided, let's go for the third pole!"

Shen Beipeng smiled, "I can remind you, that position is not easy to do, Qiandu wants to keep it, magnesium group, Didi, Goudong, leech gold, and rice all want to grab it!"

"Let them come over!"

Xu Ming clapped his hands and smiled, "It's good, you have to have this kind of domineering who is willing to give up on me!"

In the evening, Zhang Yida asked the professional chef hired by the family to cook a large table of dishes and drank two cups with Xu Ming.
