Chapter 510: Press Conference (Part II)

Although Zhang Yida's slogan was a bit loud, the reporters didn't think it was too exaggerated.

"Create 1 million jobs in the United States", "Serve 2 billion consumers around the world", "Become the world's fifth-largest economy...... If you listen to these remarks a lot, you will have immunity.

The reporters have been waiting for the question session, which is what they are most concerned about and can't wait for.

But Zhang Yida didn't let them get their wish, such a good publicity opportunity, and none of the products that should be promoted should be missing.

"Artificial Intelligence Customer Service", "Charity Blockchain", "AI Agriculture", "Smart City", ...... The application of related technologies has also been presented one by one.

"Xinrui Xiang Group will focus on four business directions, technology, finance, e-commerce and digital content. ”

Reporters are thinking about what kind of conflict these four business directions will have with Ahri and penguins.

The vast majority of domestic Internet companies, such as Didi, Goudong, and Magnesium Group, have formed alliances with Penguin and Ahri, and even if conflicts break out, they are limited to a single business.

Only the new frontier group, the four business directions are all contradictory to Penguin and Ahri.

Some time ago, some people were still wondering why Penguin would withdraw from the ranks of Ruixiang and Zhonghe shareholders.

Now I understand that it is only a matter of time before there is a conflict between the two sides.

When it came to the question session, Zhang Yida pumped a chubby girl up and gave her the qualification to ask the first question.

The girl is not very old, and when she saw Zhang Yida choosing herself, her face turned red with excitement.

Zhang Yida also looked at her as if she was his little fan sister, and when she gave a speech just now, she slapped her face red, which was very supportive, which made him very impressed.

It took a while for the girl to come back, and when she saw that everyone was looking at her, she hurriedly asked, "May I ask Mr. Zhang, what is the valuation of Xinrui to the group?"

Zhang Yida replied with a smile: "After the merger, we completed the last round of financing of $1 billion before the listing, with a post-investment valuation of $200 billion!"

"$200 billion!"

The audience was in an uproar, and most people were surprised, when Ahri was listed in 14 years, the market value was just so much.

Could it be that the new cutting-edge group can already be compared to Ahri in 2014?

Some people have guessed that it may be 130 billion US dollars, or 150 billion, 160 billion, but few people dare to guess that it is 200 billion.

Because it is too high, it directly crushes the unicorn Leech Financial Services, which has just become the world's highest valuation, and even exceeds more than 70 billion US dollars.

The next reporter asked: "Why is this round of financing only $1 billion? Compared with the previous rounds of financing, the amount of financing is too small." ”

The reporter also asked the voices of the people present, and they all felt a little strange about the scale of financing.

It's only $200 billion in valuation, is it boring?

Zhang Yida replied lightly: "Because Ruixiang is not short of money, there is more than 100 billion yuan in cash reserves in the account.

In addition, most of the business of Xinrui Xiang Group has been balanced, and there is no need to raise funds for the sake of financing. ”

Hearing the figure of 100 billion, the reporters present took another look. Such a huge number is already comparable to a thousand degrees, but it is less than that of Ahri and penguins.

As for whether Zhang Yida lied, they felt that there should be. After all, the total amount of financing from Ruixiang and Zhonghe over the years is also an astronomical amount.

Ruixiang has a consumer finance business, and Zhonghe has a game business, which are the two major cash cows.

The two companies spend money as fast as Didi and magnesium groups, so they should have saved a lot of cash.

After digesting the relevant information, no reporter asked about valuation and financing, but asked about Ruixiang's listing time.

Zhang Yida responded with a smile: "There is no clear plan for listing at present, and it may be within the next three years." ”

The reporter is not too satisfied with this reply, it is too general, in the next three years, who knows which year?

But Zhang Yida didn't want to reveal too much on this issue, and jumped directly to the next reporter.

"I heard that Mr. Zhang is good at gambling and has won more than a dozen bets with investors, is this true?"

This kind of question is a little gossipy, but the reporter is good at it, and the reporters in the audience all showed curious eyes.

"It's true, but it's not a gamble between life and death, it's a win-win situation for investors and management.

Don't just think of it as the investor loses, I win.

It's an incentive for management to deliver better results, and investors profit from it. ”

Zhang Yida doesn't want to wear the hat of "God of Gamblers", how will he do business in the future.

Investors know that he has excellent gambling skills, and no one will play with him in the future.

The reporter was eager to ask for some details of the bet, but Zhang Yida decisively shouted: "Next!"

The reporter was helpless and had to sit back in his seat.

It is said that in Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, and India, local Internet companies are standing in line with Penguin, Ahri, and Ruixiang, what does Mr. Zhang think about this problem?

Is it the growing influence of domestic Internet companies, or has the war spread to other regions?"

Zhang Yida smiled and replied: "You can understand that China's Internet companies are playing a more important role in the world.

As for taking sides, this is not an accurate word.

Overseas Internet companies are not slow to develop, and they are also very good at learning, and we are more of a cooperative relationship. ”

In fact, he is standing in line, but Zhang Yida doesn't want to be caught on these topics.

Some countries have a strong sense of self-esteem, or a glass heart, so don't overstimulate them.

"From the size of the company, Ruixiang has far exceeded Qiandu, how does Mr. Zhang think of Qiandu's backwardness?"

Reporters are starting to stir up trouble again, wanting to make some topics.

"Qiandu is still very good in AI, maintain this persistent attitude, the future can be expected!"

The reporter doesn't want to hear Zhang Yida boast of thousands of degrees, he wants to hear Zhang Yida diss thousands of degrees the most.

When Zhang Yida was about to call the next one, he preemptively asked another question: "Does it mean that Qiandu AI is stronger than Ruixiang AI?"

This question is a bit excessive, and there is a suspicion of provocation, and a group of reporters all looked at Zhang Yida, curious if he would answer.

"Ruixiang invests more in scientific research every year!"

This answer is very ingenious, it does not fire indiscriminately, and it also shows the importance of Ruixiang to cutting-edge technologies such as AI.

After answering a few more questions from reporters, the press conference came to an end.

"Okay, thank you for your support, let's see you next time. ”

There was a round of applause from the audience, and in any case, a group of reporters felt that the trip was worthwhile.

I witnessed the birth of the unicorn with the highest valuation in the world, and learned a lot of entrepreneurial stories behind Ruixiang and Zhonghe.

At least for a week, I am not afraid that there will be no news to write about.
