Hungry is always in meetings, and compared to several others, they are the most passive.

Basically, nine out of ten merchants are mastered by Cao Cao Suda, and the loyalty of merchants to the platform is too low.

Now it is the merchant market, and it is not uncommon for several platforms to compete with each other and merchants to board two at the same time.

Basically, several platforms are turning a blind eye.

However, Cao Cao's takeout made such a move, and suddenly made the hungry belly and back suffer.

Zhang Xuhao sat there without saying a word, until the cigarette in his hand burned clean and woke him up, and then asked, "Where did you just go?"

Kanga replied: "When it comes to the investment in the distribution division, the specific amount needs to be determined by you." ”

"Well, since Cao Cao is not benevolent, we naturally don't need to talk about righteousness anymore.

Tell the distribution department how many are recruited for me.

I don't believe it, I can't kill their bunch of deflated three!"

Zhang Xuhao said as he spoke, his face was full of fierceness, and a ruffian aura lingered on his body.

All the executives were surprised by Zhang Xuhao's appearance.

Kanga worried: "The investment in the distribution division may affect the strength of our subsidies.

It's definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for magnesium clusters. ”

"Regardless of the magnesium group, Cao Cao's takeaway has come to our doorstep.

If we don't eliminate Cao Cao's takeaway, where will we have the face to continue to ask investors for money?"

Zhang Xuhao slapped the table, like an angry lion.

Even Kang Jia, the No. 2 person who started a business with him, did not dare to disobey Zhang Xuhao at this time, let alone others.

After the meeting ended, the executives looked a little tired.

On the way out, there were whispers in twos and threes.

"Alas, it's really an eventful time, everyone was going to stop fighting for a while and recover their strength, why did a Cao Cao takeaway suddenly pop up?"

"Who knows, what do you say Mr. Chen is trying to do, don't you want to continue to invest in us in a good way?"

"In the market share, we are very close to the share of magnesium group, and Mr. Zhang is afraid that our foundation will be dug down by the other party. ”

"Dog's day, Lao Tzu's holiday is in the soup again!"

......

The people at the bottom left, Kang Jia still stayed in the conference room, and poured a glass of water for Zhang Xuhao.

"You said Chen Dongcheng's shares, what should I do?"

"Tell him to fuck me off, I don't want to see him again. ”

Zhang Xuhao mentioned that Chen Dongcheng was angry, and his tone was very impatient.

Kanga sighed: "It's not that easy, we are now valued at $2.4 billion.

Even if Chen Dongcheng's stake is diluted, it is 9.6%.

Whether we choose to buy back, or find other institutions, we need to pay him as fast as $230 million. ”

"So much?"

Zhang Xuhao frowned, and suddenly felt troubled.

Kanga nodded: "Now he is like an appendage, we can't get rid of it, we can only accept it first, unless we ......"

"Unless what?"

Zhang Xuhao really didn't want to see Chen Dongcheng again, and would rather pay more price.

Kanga hesitated and said: "The magnesium group merged with Dianping to form Xinmeida, and it is said that Ahri is very dissatisfied.

For the first time, Wang Xing revealed his ambitions and openly resisted Ahri's orders.

He is also negotiating cooperation with Tengxun and plans to introduce Tengxun. ”

"The ...... of the King"

Although Zhang Xuhao is an opponent, he also admires Wang Xing's wrist.

He couldn't play Ahri in the palm of his hand.

They are all smart people, and Zhang Xuhao naturally understands what Kanga means.

"You're saying that Ahri may withdraw from the Magnesium Regiment, and we can reach out to them?"

"Yes, but I'm afraid Ahri has too many shares, and in the end, Hungry is no longer in our hands. ”

Kanga is undoubtedly cautious, and Ahri's usual style is to invest first, then kick the founding team out of the game, and send their executives to accept the company.

"It's okay, as long as we have a good grasp of the voting rights, the company will not lose it. “

Zhang Xuhao is quite confident, and his arrogant side is unabashedly exposed.

Kanga hesitated and persuaded: "We have previously raised Series F, and the diluted shares are as high as 40%.

Now we only hold about 10% of the shares, and control of the company is in jeopardy. ”

In order to whitewash its valuation, Ele.me announced that the F round was valued at $3.6 billion.

In fact, the real valuation is only $2.4 billion.

However, non-listed companies such as Eleme exaggerate and falsely report the amount of financing, which has long become the "unspoken rule" of domestic start-ups.

Zhang Xuhao frowned and sighed: "We are too short of money, and we are catching up with the capital winter, otherwise why would we have taken out 40% of the shares in the last round?"

The magnesium mass put pressure on the hungry, and Zhang Xuhao was out of breath.

No matter how many shares there are, the project is still worthless if it dies.

As long as you can survive, you have a chance to turn over.

Kang Jia understood what Zhang Xuhao meant, but the situation was very embarrassing.

wanted to get rid of Chen Dongcheng, but couldn't find a suitable investment institution.

Especially now facing Cao Cao's takeaway, he gave them a hard blow.

"Or ...... Shall I try it first?"

Kang Jia couldn't withstand Zhang Xuhao's expectant eyes after all, and the balance in his heart began to favor his brothers.

"Well, I believe that these investors will not be short-sighted, and it is the right choice to hand over the platform to us to continue to operate. ”

Zhang Xuhao cheered up Kang Jia, so as not to mess up his own people first.

Kanga nodded and took the order.

He and Ahri began to get in touch, and the two hit it off.

The disobedience of the magnesium group to Ahri is well known to passers-by.

Ahri is indeed thinking about being hungry, there are only a few platforms in the market, and it is not surprising that they are considering being hungry.

Cai Wenxin immediately expressed his interest in Ele.me, and proposed the investment in Ele.me at the board of directors of Ahri.

Cai Wenxin never thought that he would send it to the door by himself if he was hungry, how could he not smile at this great gift.

With Ahri's size, let alone such a few hundred million dollars of shares, even if you buy Eleme now.

Chen Dongcheng did not ask about the specific details of the negotiations.

The think tank insisted on Ahri's side to make the acquisition according to the $3.6 billion announced by Ele.me.

Ahri would definitely not agree, and the two sides had a fight and ink for a long time.

Chen Dongcheng is not in a hurry, it is Zhang Xuhao and Ahri who are in a hurry.

In the end, the negotiated price was that Ahri paid $300 million to acquire all 9.6% of the shares held by Chen Dongcheng.

Chen Dongcheng invested $138 million in Ele.me before and after, which is a small profit.

That's not how the accounts work, though.

It was through Chen Dongcheng's investment that Cao Cao Suda went online with Eleme and went through the most difficult early stage of development.

Even when they broke up, Eleme made a good start for the development of Cao Cao's takeaway, and the business became a joint venture.

Looking at it this way, this investment is simply worth it.

Sending Chen Dongcheng away and welcoming Ahri into his camp with both hands, Zhang Xuhao didn't know that he was playing with fire.

Maybe he knew it a long time ago, but it was just his consistent style of acting, so he didn't think that Ahri could empty him.

With 300 million US dollars in his account, Chen Dongcheng suddenly had more abundant funds, but there were many places to use the money.

Give Pinduoduo 100 million US dollars, which has been planned for a long time.

Pinduoduo is a weapon that can fight with Ahri in the future.

The remaining 200 million US dollars can be replenished at any time as the reserve funds for Cao Cao's takeaway and Douyin.

In today's capital winter, the more capital, the more solid the entrepreneur will be.

If it weren't for the capital winter, Zhang Xuhao would have diluted 40% of their shares for financing.

It is only a giant like Ahri who dares to continue to improve its own ecology at the time of the capital winter.

......

Source deep road.

A plaque of Pinduoduo hangs above the western-style building, and the Knight XV stops at the door, attracting the attention of the security guards at the gate of the office building.

The group walked straight into the building, a five-storey western-style building, after redecoration, the details are exquisite.

A male employee who had just walked into the elevator saw Chen Dongcheng and hurriedly bowed and said hello: "Chen Dong, which floor are you going to?"

"Mr. Zhuang's floor. ”

Chen Dongcheng replied with a smile.

The male employee hurriedly pressed the 5th floor, a little embarrassed, and didn't know what to say.

Chen Dongcheng asked the male employee, "Which department are you?"

The male employee scratched his head: "I am from the technical department, and I work on the second floor. ”

"Then you went to the 4th floor to see your girlfriend?"

The male employee was a little nervous and nodded honestly: "My girlfriend is in the finance department." ”

"Ding. ”

When the elevator reached the 4th floor, the male employee hurriedly dropped a sentence as if he had been amnestied: "Then I'll go first, Chen Dong, you're busy." ”

After speaking, he quickly stepped out of the elevator, not daring to stay for a second longer.

Chen Dongcheng smiled, shook his head and closed the elevator door, and continued to move towards the 5th floor.

The area on the 5th floor is not large, and the first room on the right hand side of the elevator is Zhuang Yanting's office.

Chen Dongcheng didn't knock on the door, he pushed the door open and walked in.

Zhuang Yanting was handling official business, raised her head and asked with a smile, "When did you come back?"

"Just came back not long after the morning plane. ”

Chen Dongcheng didn't have to make a draft to lie, sat opposite Zhuang Yanting, and said with a smile: "I'll send you money." ”

"Send money?"

Zhuang Yanting smiled and asked, "How many can there be?"

"100 million...... USD. ”

"So much?"

Zhuang Yanting was a little surprised, and said curiously: "Where did you get the money?"

"I sold the shares that I had invested in Ele.me before, and Ahri gave him $300 million. ”

Zhuang Yanting was pleasantly surprised: "Your vision is so good, it is not a blessing not to lose money, let alone make money."

I asked a lot of investment institutions, and they all said that money has been too tight recently, and they plan to consider our project after a while. ”

The capital winter is not as simple as talking.

In previous years, entrepreneurship had become almost a form of escape.

If you don't say that you are starting a business, you are embarrassed to say hello.

At that time, capital was also the craziest.

All kinds of projects, whether there is a mature business model, novel ideas, reliable technical teams, they dare to throw money.

As the difficulty of fund raising increased in the second half of this year, more and more projects went bankrupt.

Even the valuations of Didi and magnesium group financing are shrinking, which shows how cautious investment institutions are.

Zhuang Yanting hesitated: "Wouldn't it be too risky for you to invest $100 million yourself?"

"Pinduoduo is too valuable, I don't plan to release too many shares in the early stage, I plan to give you 5% of the shares, and the option pool does not exceed 10%. ”

Zhuang Yanting just wanted to refuse, but was blocked back by Chen Dongcheng.

"Giving you shares is a way to reduce my shareholding too much. ”

This time, Zhuang Yanting did not object, in fact, it is common for professional managers to take shares.

Depending on the value of the company, the shares acquired are also different.

Not to mention, with Chen Dongcheng's investment in Pinduoduo, who is embarrassed to ask for 5% of the shares?

"In the future, Pinduoduo's payment, before Tengxun does not invest, only accepts Cao Cao's payment as a single entrance. ”

Zhuang Yanting asked while reviewing the documents, "The new company you invested in?"

"Well, it cost 800 million. ”

"So much money?"

Chen Dongcheng shrugged: "I have to buy it sooner or later, and I have to pay a commission to a third party if I save it." ”

Zhuang Yanting nodded approvingly: "The commission is a trivial matter, I am afraid that Alipay will use our consumption data for analysis, and it is likely to strike at us in advance." ”

It is indispensable to guard against people, especially in such an important link as payment.

But how many large companies will be relieved to hand over to others?

Chen Dongcheng was a little thirsty, picked up Zhuang Yanting's cup and took a sip, and asked, "Have you been home recently?"

"No, but it's a video with Shiyu. ”

Speaking of Zhuang Shiyu, Zhuang Yanting's smile became more and more gentle.

It has always been her dream to be able to bring her sister and parents to her side.

It wasn't until Chen Dongcheng appeared that she had this condition.

"Now that the company has just been established and the business is relatively tight, I will let Jingyu arrange it, you want to see them, come directly by plane." ”

Zhuang Yanting shook her head: "They are very good in Pengcheng, I will take the time to go back and have a look." ”

The younger sister and parents at home are easy to say, a video is good, and the big deal is to let them fly.

But Pinduoduo is really busy.

Every day, just contacting merchants who have transferred from Taobao is a big problem.

Especially in the distribution area, Cao Cao logistics has just started, and the coverage area is far from meeting the needs of Pinduoduo.

However, it is a good move to play a chess piece in the field of logistics.

Ahri doesn't care now, you really have to pay attention to it, Pinduoduo completely relies on rookie logistics, that's not death.

stayed in the company until the end of work, Zhuang Yanting was pulled out of the company by Chen Dongcheng.

Usually overtime is forgotten, no matter how he comes, he has to take a day off.

Zhuang Yanting had to explain a few words to other executives.

At the initial stage, everyone can accept that the company is busy, and it is good to make up for it from the salary.

After getting in the car, Zhuang Yanting wanted to go home and cook and eat.

Passing by the boutique supermarket, I bought some vegetables, fruits, and beef casually, and spent 10,000 yuan.

This is a boutique supermarket, it is obviously a slaughtering supermarket.

Chen Dongcheng muttered in his heart, but when he swiped the card, it was called a calm and relaxed.

When he went home, Chen Dongcheng did not forget to give Zhuang Yanting a master chef experience card.

In this happy future life, I have to count on her craftsmanship.

The kitchen clanged, and Zhuang Yanting made a few big dishes with her hands and feet, so that Chen Dongcheng smelled the fragrance and walked to the kitchen.

It is a bit exaggerated to say that it is a gourmet food that shines.

But this taste, there is really nothing to say.

It is worthy of the temporary master chef's craft, this color and fragrance, hanging a row of well-known restaurant chefs.

Zhuang Yanting put the meal and handed it to Chen Dongcheng with chopsticks, looking forward to it: "Have you made progress in my craftsmanship?"

Chen Dongcheng couldn't control it for a long time, and immediately grabbed a chopstick boiled pork slices.

The entrance is fragrant, the whole person is excited, and there is nothing to say about the good taste.

Chen Dongcheng gave a thumbs up and began to eat wildly, proving his attitude with his actions.

Zhuang Yanting smiled and moved her chopsticks, and she couldn't help but think of words like those who tied a man's stomach.

However, seeing that Chen Dongcheng loves to eat his own dishes so much, Zhuang Yanting is happy in her heart.

The company is very busy, and Chen Dongcheng has a lot of things, and gathering less and leaving more has become the norm for the two.

Chen Dongcheng secretly made up his mind that at least in the next week, he would definitely be inseparable from Zhuang Yanting.

Every day, there is a master-level beauty who cooks for herself, and it is estimated that there is no second such treatment in China.
