Chapter 271: Come to My Room and Talk (For the Two Deacons)
Marina Bay Sands Hotel.
Inside a spacious business conference hall.
The reporter set up a long gun and a short cannon, waiting for the press conference to start.
Today is the day of the establishment of the third phase of Ruixiang Industrial Fund, a super unicorn company valued at US$30 billion in Chinese mainland, Ruixiang, together with world-renowned venture capital institutions such as Temasek and Blackshirt China, as well as well-known local giants in Southeast Asia, Sinar Mas Group, CP Group, Malaysia Hong Leong and Singapore Hong Leong and other 12 consortiums jointly launched a US$2.5 billion industrial fund.
The reporters who got the news were like sharks that saw blood, not only reporters from Southeast Asian countries, but also reporters from Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and even European and American countries.
Equally excited to the reporter were local Internet entrepreneurs in Southeast Asia, many of whom received invitations from Ruixiang Industry Fund.
The invitation letters from Ruixiang Industry Fund are not issued randomly, but are issued to Internet companies that have a small scale, have raised a round of financing or have not been financed, but have a lot of fame in the industry.
Many startup founders receive the invitation and buy a plane ticket to Singapore, ready to try their luck here.
Filipino Robbie Antonio also wanted to try his luck, but he didn't want to raise money, he wanted to get to know Zhang Yida and see if he could talk about a cooperation by the way.
Liu Chunhe, CEO of Chizicheng Technology, who happened to be on a business trip to Singapore, also came to the conference with the purpose of cooperation.
After officials from Singapore's commerce department gave an opening speech, it was Zhang Yida's turn to speak.
Looking at the black pressure in the audience, there were thousands of entrepreneurs and media reporters, Zhang Yida was also a little surprised, he didn't expect Ruixiang Industrial Fund to have such a big influence.
But it's normal to think about it, and it's not surprising that more than a dozen well-known giants in Southeast Asia, coupled with the sharp trend of fame around the world, attract these entrepreneurs and journalists.
"First of all, I would like to thank the entrepreneurs and media reporters who participated in the meeting, the purpose of Ruixiang Group to establish the third phase of the industrial fund is to support more entrepreneurs......
In fact, in the past few years, Ruixiang has also set up the first and second phase of industrial funds.
In the first phase of the industrial fund, we invested in Chinese mainland's Kuaishou and Shangchao Technology...... More than 20 unicorns or quasi-unicorn companies.
In the second phase of the industrial fund, we invested in Grab and Gojek in Southeast Asia...... Excellent Internet business.
Southeast Asia is one of the fastest-growing regions in the world, and it is also a hot spot for mobile Internet entrepreneurship......
It is hoped that more Internet unicorns will emerge in Southeast Asia. ”
After Zhang Yida finished speaking, the audience burst into thunderous applause. Countless entrepreneurs just want to fight like chicken blood, looking at Zhang Yida intently, all want to get Ruixiang's investment and become the next Grab, the next GoJek......
This was followed by a Q&A session.
"Hello Mr. Zhang, I am a reporter from Singapore's South China Morning Post. ”
A Chinese-looking male reporter stood up and asked with a microphone: "Excuse me, is Ruixiang's next investment limited to the field of Internet finance?"
"We are not familiar with other fields, so we will try to invest less or even not invest in other fields. Zhang Yida replied with a smile.
"Hello Mr. Zhang, I am a reporter from Lianhe Zaobao. ”
A Chinese female reporter stood up and asked, "Does Ruixiang's large-scale overseas investment mean that Ruixiang has completely entered the global market and is determined to become a global financial technology company?"
"Becoming a global fintech company is our unwavering goal. ”
This sentence is often on Zhang Yida's lips, and it is all about this concept to tell stories to venture capitalists.
Regardless of whether it has been realized, or whether it can be realized, we will shout the slogan first.
A reporter from Chinese mainland stood up and asked, "Will all the future investments be overseas?"
"Nope. Zhang Yida shook his head, "Excellent Internet companies in Chinese mainland, Ruixiang Phase III Industrial Fund will still invest."
With a fund management scale of up to 2.5 billion US dollars, Ruixiang Industrial Fund aims to be global, not a region or a country. ”
……
Zhang Yida answered the reporters' questions one by one, and it was the entrepreneur's turn to ask questions.
"Hello Mr. Zhang, I am the CEO of a fintech company in Indonesia.
Our company's main business is consumer finance, I would like to ask you about your views on the prospects of consumer finance business in Indonesia?"
A thin, dark Indonesian native stood up and asked.
"Indonesia's lack of credit infrastructure will cause great trouble to the risk control of consumer finance business.
However, now is the era of big data, and risk control models can also be established through big data......
In addition, Indonesia's population is young, which is very suitable for consumer finance business.
Do a good job, there will definitely be a day to get ahead. ”
The Indonesian natives thanked Zhang Yida and received Zhang Yida's "guidance", which made him so happy that he couldn't help himself.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang. ”
Robbie Antonio, who was lucky enough to get the opportunity to ask a question, stood up and introduced himself:
"I'm Antonio, CEO of RevolutionPrecrafted.
Our company is a prefabricated property supplier, I would like to ask Mr. Zhang for his views on the prospects of this industry and the market situation of prefabricated properties in China."
Many entrepreneurs in the audience were in an uproar, where did this stupidity come from? All of you here are Internet entrepreneurs, what are you doing here as an industrialist?
Prefabricated real estate suppliers, in short, sell "assembled houses".
Residential buildings are built using industrial production methods, and some or all of the components of the housing are prefabricated in the factory and then transported to the construction site.
Houses built by assembling components through reliable connections are called industrialized houses or industrialized houses in Europe, the United States, and Japan.
It really has nothing to do with the Internet, and the entrepreneurs below are not wrong.
Zhang Yida has some impressions of RevolutionPrecrafted, one of the eight unicorns in Southeast Asia in the early days, the only unicorn that is not an Internet company, and the only unicorn in the Philippines.
Originally, Zhang Yida thought that he was not an Internet company and would not invest. As a result, people are now sent to the door, where can I find such a good thing?
It also indirectly shows that the reputation of Ruixiang Industrial Fund has been greatly improved in Southeast Asia, and there is no need to look for projects, but projects to find companies.
Zhang Yida looked at Antonio, who looked mixed-race, thinking that the Philippines had been colonized by Spain and the United States, and there were indeed quite a lot of mixed-race children.
"Mr. Antonio, thank you for your question. You may be disappointed, but I really don't know much about the prefabricated housing industry. ”
Zhang Yida looked at Antonio, who was a little disappointed, and added: "However, I think this industry is very cool and can greatly reduce the time it takes to build houses."
And through 3D modeling, as well as the participation of artists and designers, the house can be built more beautifully.
After the meeting, if you have free time, we can talk about investment or cooperation. ”
Others cast envious glances at Antonio, who was really lucky and pulled the investment in just a few words.
Just as they were trying to replicate the miracle of this lucky one, unfortunately, the question session ended.
Liu Chunhe also looked disappointed, why wasn't he selected to ask?
Then, many investors of Ruixiang Phase III Industrial Fund took a group photo on stage, and the huge LED screen also cast the names of each investor: Ruixiang, Black Shirt, Zhenke, Temasek......
The reporter seized the opportunity to take a photo, preparing to use this photo as tomorrow's front page.
At the end of the conference, Zhang Yida, escorted by four bodyguards, prepared to go to the room to rest for a while.
Liu Chunhe, who was wearing glasses and looked like an otaku, followed.
"Mr. Zhang, please wait a minute. ”
Liu Chunhe saw Zhang Yida fast into the elevator, and shouted loudly from afar.
Zhang Yida turned his head and saw that a chubby otaku with glasses was calling himself.
Zhang Yida thought for a long time, but didn't think of this person, and asked, "...... are you?"
As soon as he heard that Zhang Yida didn't know him, Qian Li, who was tall and tall, quickly stepped forward to block Liu Chunhe, who wanted to walk to Zhang Yida's side.
Liu Chunhe smiled to himself, he was a nobody, it was normal for this kind of big guy not to know himself.
"Mr. Zhang, you wait a minute, I'll say a few words and leave. Liu Chunhe said cheekily.
"Say it!" Zhang Yida did not refuse people thousands of miles away, but people he didn't know were abroad, and he suddenly ran out, so it was essential to be more vigilant.
Qian Li and four other bodyguards surrounded Zhang Yida in the middle and protected him tightly. At the same time, they all fixed their eyes on Liu Chunhe, paying attention to his every move.
Liu Chunhe glanced at the four bodyguards who were putting him like a thief, and smiled bitterly, I am really not a gangster!
But when it comes to cooperation, he doesn't care about it. He said: "Mr. Zhang, I am Liu Chunhe, CEO of Beijing Chizicheng. ”
Zhang Yida shrugged his brows, he had heard of the overseas "APP factory" and "super developer".
The mobile app SoloLauncher developed by it ranks first in the number of downloads of personalized apps on Google Play in nearly 100 countries in a single day, claiming to have 800 million users worldwide.
However, this is all heard in a previous life. He guessed that the current Chizi City should not be so glorious.
"We are a mobile app developer and mobile advertising platform service provider powered by AI technology.
We went to sea relatively early, in 2013. At present, the Solo system product matrix we have built has accumulated more than 300 million users around the world.
In addition, we have a mobile advertising platform, SoloMath, which can help overseas companies reach overseas users.
Mr. Zhang, your Ruixiang, Yimin Wangjin, Green, all have overseas products.
So, I'd like to talk to you about collaboration. ”
Zhang Yida slowly recalled that the company seemed to have developed more than 70 applications overseas, including launchers, security, antivirus, music, entertainment, fitness, casual games and other categories.
Then use these tool-based products to attract overseas user traffic, and then use their own mobile advertising platform to monetize traffic.
In addition, the company has an AI engine that is designed to understand user needs and determine user preferences.
After in-depth analysis of user behavior, product development and operation system construction are carried out.
It not only greatly reduces the cost of trial and error for enterprises, but also continuously increases the probability of producing explosive products.
Toutiao's products are made according to this logic, and Doushi will also do it in this direction in the future, in addition to counting this naked city.
Liu Chunhe saw that Zhang Yida had not spoken, and his heart was half cold.
Who knew that Zhang Yida's next sentence made his heart tighten, "Come to my room and talk!"
