The first floor of Cao Cao Building has now been converted into the office of Heytea Modu Branch.

Nie Yunjing is now a dazzling new star in the business world, and the Hey Tea he created is an old tea company like Tianwir.

However, in front of Chen Dongcheng, Nie Yunjing was still so respectful.

Because he has a heart of awe and knows who to be with, he can be arrogant.

Whoever you are with, you have to clamp your tail.

"Mr. Chen. ”

"Sit. ”

Chen Dongcheng pointed to the sofa in front of him, and his smile was very friendly.

Nie Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the sofa and asked, "Did you call me?"

"It's time for Heytea to raise a new round of funding. ”

Chen Dongcheng said concisely.

Nie Yunjing was stunned for a moment, and then echoed: "I have always had this plan, and I plan to mention it to you after a while." ”

Heytea has only been melted for two rounds so far, both of which were invested by Chen Dongcheng.

The A round of financing is 3 million, and the B round of financing is 100 million.

By the C round, Heytea's profit model has been very clear.

Each store is profitable, but there is a difference.

Cooperate with well-known companies online to expand traffic advantages, and offline production queue boom.

As long as Heytea's newly opened storefront, there is no one who does not queue for more than an hour.

Almost everyone's circle of friends can't avoid the figure of Heytea.

Especially many young people, holding a cup of Hey Tea and posting a circle of friends is the norm.

Chen Dongcheng asked with a smile: "How much do you think is appropriate for this round of valuation?"

"Me?"

Nie Yunjing was a little surprised, the general valuation should be set by investors.

But in a moment, this may be a test for Chen Dongcheng himself.

Nie Yunjing thought carefully for a while, and tentatively reported a number.

"What do you think about raising $50 million and setting the post-investment valuation at $500 million?"

Chen Dongcheng nodded with satisfaction, Nie Yunjing was still a little self-aware.

However, if it is valued at 500 million US dollars, Chen Dongcheng is too lazy to see him now.

The [King of Unicorns] badge that appeared after the upgrade was not so easy to get.

Even if Chen Dongcheng is rich, he must invest in companies with potential that exceed the threshold of unicorn companies.

Otherwise, if he invests in a company casually, Chen Dongcheng will easily brush this badge in his hands.

"$500 million is a good startup, and I'd like to see a new unicorn born. ”

Nie Yunjing's heart beat faster when he heard this, and he couldn't help but swallow and spit at the mouth.

Chen Dongcheng didn't go around in circles anymore, and said directly: "I will invest 100 million US dollars for you, and the valuation of Heytea after investment is one billion US dollars." ”

Although there was some speculation just now, when Chen Dongcheng really said the word "unicorn" in his mouth.

Nie Yunjing couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart at all.

Only those who have started a business know how unattainable these three words are.

The promotion of every unicorn is not easy to come by.

For example, Chen Dongcheng got keep in the early days, but he has not negotiated the D round of financing until now.

If you want to be promoted to unicorn, you don't know how long you have to wait.

In contrast, Heytea has grown far faster than the vast majority of startups.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. ”

Nie Yunjing thanked from the bottom of his heart, thinking that when Heytea started, he never thought that there would be such a day.

Although Chen Dongcheng took a lot of his shares, if there was no Chen Dongcheng's money, how could Heytea have the scenery it has today.

Besides, even if it is continuously diluted, Nie Yunjing's shares are still 19.71%.

According to Chen Dongcheng's valuation for Heytea, Nie Yunjing instantly became a "billionaire".

Whoever suddenly hears that he has half a foot in the circle of billionaires will be excited.

Chen Dongcheng waited until Nie Yunjing regained his composure before saying: "I will send the money to the company's account as soon as possible, and Heytea also needs to increase the speed of opening stores in first- and second-tier cities to complete the market layout before competitors." ”

After Nie Yunjing calmed down, he completely regained his senses.

"We are now well-known, and many commercial centers have taken the initiative to talk to us about cooperation.

Not only did they give us the best location, but the rent could also be compromised. ”

This is the advantage of building a brand, and Heytea continues to occupy hot spots offline through hot queuing.

It is particularly popular in the social circle of young people, and there are many people queuing up to check in.

Super popularity, coupled with exquisite petty bourgeois decoration, even if Heytea is arranged next to a store like Prada, it will not cause dissatisfaction to the other party.

Now these big luxury brands are also starting to get close to young people.

Although young people cannot afford to pay for their salaries, it does not prevent them from overdrawing and swiping their credit cards.

As one of the favorite brands of young people, Heytea is an unprecedented intimacy with Heytea.

Nie Yunjing did not set the option pool of Heytea high, only 10%, of which 2% was rewarded by him to Sun Ying.

Although the option pool was also made up by the two of them together, Chen Dongcheng had no opinion on this.

Not long after Nie Yunjing left, Sun Ying walked into the office.

Compared with when he was in the coffee shop before, Sun Ying's aura is stronger now, and he exudes a shrewd and resolute temperament.

"Sit. ”

Sun Ying stroked the hem of her skirt and asked with a smile, "You promised to invest 100 million US dollars in Heytea?"

"Heytea's steps are still a little bigger. ”

Chen Dongcheng smiled and nodded.

He is so relieved of Heytea, or because he has Sun Ying as his own person in Heytea.

Sun Ying's mastery of Heytea's supply chain system is equivalent to choking Heytea's throat.

In addition, Sun Ying, as a woman, is friendly to others, and has a very high prestige in the company.

Even if he found out that Sun Ying had bought people's hearts, Nie Yunjing turned a blind eye.

As long as Nie Yunjing has no objection, Sun Ying will still support him.

If Nie Yunjing had different intentions, Sun Ying would use thunderous means to quickly take over the company.

Sun Ying named several questions that have been bothering her recently.

"If we continue to strengthen our direct sales strategy, the increasing number of employees will seriously increase our costs.

And with the popularity of new tea drinks, the price of raw materials has been rising. ”

Chen Dongcheng waited for Sun Ying to finish speaking, and replied unhurriedly: "At present, Heytea can't open a franchise store.

Even if the management cost of the directly operated store is larger, it is very important for us to manage it in a unified manner and build a brand image.

As for the raw materials.

With the money you just got, you can take the initiative to find upstream suppliers and use your financial advantage to counter them.

If domestic tea is not good, go buy foreign tea. ”

Sun Ying said with a smile: "You coincide with Nie Yunjing on this point, and he also plans to do so, but he has been short of funds."

Now we have enough funds to support a group of tea merchants.

Purchase from them regularly to reduce costs at the source.

I will pay more attention to the procurement part to avoid some people taking kickbacks. ”

Chen Dongcheng was naturally relieved of Sun Ying: "With you, I am very worry-free." ”

Sun Ying's heart suddenly felt warm, and the fatigue during this period seemed to have completely disappeared with this sentence.

"Then I'll go first, Yunjing called me just now, probably to counter those suppliers, and I'll report to you if there's something." ”

"Go ahead. ”

Chen Dongcheng sent Sun Ying to the elevator door, but Sun Ying stopped him from continuing to send it.

Back in the office, along the floor-to-ceiling window, I just saw Sun Ying leaving in a car.

Just after a while, there was a knock on the door.

After Chen Dongcheng let people in, he looked up and was still an old acquaintance.

"Why are you here?"

Chen Dongcheng looked at Cheng Wei and was quite surprised.

"What, I'm not welcome?"

Cheng Wei asked with a smile, he looked a lot fatter than before.

Didi no longer has to live that kind of poor and swishing hard life, as the helmsman of Didi, Cheng Wei's treatment in all aspects has naturally followed.

Chen Dongcheng shook his head with a smile, motioned for Cheng Wei to sit first, and poured Cheng Wei a cup of tea.

"Tell me, what wind is blowing you here?"

Cheng Wei took the teacup, closed his eyes and took a sip, then lowered his mouth and said, "Tut, sure enough, all the good tea in your office is prepared, I miss you, come and see if you can't do it?"

"Come on, I'm not a beauty. ”

Chen Dongcheng said with a smile: "Let me guess, is it Grab or Qingju Technology that the company under my name can have a relationship with Didi?"

"Alas, you kid is such a thief, I know I can't hide it from you. ”

Cheng Wei put down the teacup, put his right leg on his left leg, leaned back, and the momentum of the big guy on his body became more and more sufficient.

"I've been involved with both companies this time, and you are the second largest shareholder in Grab.

Liu Qing has just led the team to secure a financing not long ago, and we plan to acquire your shares. ”

"Not for sale. ”

Chen Dongcheng replied very simply.

Cheng Wei smiled bitterly: "I said you hesitated, give me some face!"

"Now is not the best time for me to sell. ”

When Cheng Wei heard that there was a play, he asked, "What do you mean?"

"Literally, if Didi is still interested in Grab in the next few rounds of financing, I can consider transferring the equity I hold to you. ”

After Chen Dongcheng finished speaking, Cheng Wei fell into deep thought.

He knows Chen Dongcheng's vision very well, and he can invest in Grab earlier than them, and I have to say that his vision is very vicious.

Didi forcibly swallowed Uber Huaxia at a heavy price in exchange for a monopoly position in China.

It is because of this strategy that this round of financing has gone so smoothly.

Just by looking at the list of investors in their F round, you can understand one or two.

The scene of Tengxun and Ahri's investment at the same time is one of the few in the domestic Internet circle.

This has to admit Liu Qing's financing ability.

The financing amount of 4.5 billion US dollars, the bank loan led by China Merchants Bank of 2.5 billion US dollars, and the debt investment of 300 million US dollars by Kangan Bank.

With so much money, Cheng Wei is naturally eager to expand the boundaries of Didi.

The ride-hailing software market in Southeast Asia suddenly became his first choice for expansion.

However, Grab is the leader of taxi software in Southeast Asia, and it can't be avoided.

Since you can't avoid it, find a way to increase your stake in Grab.

The first SoftBank did not dare to move, so it could only contact Chen Dongcheng, who is the second largest shareholder.

Cheng Wei planned to skip Grab first and asked, "Since you don't plan to sell your equity now, you will always accept our investment in Qingju Bicycle, right?"

"What's the point of just investing, are you interested in buying a green orange bicycle for fun?"

Chen Dongcheng suddenly threw a nuclear bomb at Cheng Wei, which made Cheng Wei stunned on the spot: "You want to sell Qingju bicycles?"

"Why can't you sell it?"

Chen Dongcheng began to bewitch Cheng Wei: "First of all, Didi needs to further deepen its cultivation in the field of travel.

Qingju Bicycle can play a role in enriching Didi's travel scenarios and analyzing travel big data.

Secondly, I've heard that there is some movement on the magnesium group, and they seem to have a lot of ambitions in the field of travel. ”

Cheng Wei's brows suddenly furrowed, he had long regarded the travel field as his home base.

No matter who dares to reach out to this field, Cheng Wei will definitely chop his hand off.

However, Chen Dongcheng's proposal really made Cheng Wei a little tempted.

It seems that it is not impossible for Didi to buy Qingju Bicycle.
