Chapter 833: It's Kind of Interesting
With a 35% stake of $1 billion, Jinsheng values Kuaiyin Technology at more than $2.8 billion, which is exactly 20 billion yuan at the current exchange rate.
20 billion is undoubtedly an astronomical amount for ordinary people, Luo Kai's earliest investment in Kuaiyin Technology is not more than 100 million, even if it is added later, it is only about 200 million, only one percent of 20 billion.
According to this valuation, his original investment in exchange for dozens of times the profit, is definitely a double profit.
However, the valuation of 20 billion is an insult to the value of Kuaiyin Technology today, and the current general valuation of Kuaiyi Technology in the domestic industry has reached 10 billion - US dollars!
Luo Kai knows very well that Zhao Leyan, as a representative of Jinsheng Group, should have a very clear judgment on the value of Kuaiyin Technology, and such a price is nothing more than a temptation.
After all, this meeting was only a preliminary contact, and Zhao Leyan did not have enough authority to make a decision, and the real negotiation required both sides to send professional teams to complete.
But being so underestimated, Luo Kai's heart was a little unhappy.
Of course, on the surface, Luo Kai smiled lightly and did not reveal any of his inner emotions, because the other party was paying attention to his reaction and then judging his character.
This kind of negotiation skill, Luo Kai played better, but he didn't have the idea of spying on each other with Zhao Leyan today, and said: "Mr. Zhao, it's an honor for Kuaiyin Technology to be favored by Jinsheng Group, and we also very much welcome investment from Jinsheng Group, but..."
Luo Kai paused and said: "In terms of the value evaluation of Kuaiyin Technology, I am afraid that you and I have a big disagreement, and it is difficult to reach a consensus. ”
"Hear me out...
Seeing that Zhao Leyan wanted to defend himself, Luo Kai raised his hand to stop him: "Let me reveal a data here, as of this month, the daily active number of Kuaiyin has exceeded 50 million, and the monthly active number has exceeded 150 million. ”
As a pioneer in short video and mobile live broadcasting, relying on novel models and creative content, Kuaiyin's expansion rate is amazing, with the number of registered users approaching 300 million, firmly occupying an unrivaled hegemony.
However, compared with the number of registered users, the number of daily active users is the embodiment of the core value of Kuaiyin, and the number of 50 million daily active users shows the strong vitality and user viscosity of Kuaiyin, and the valuation of 20 billion is a joke!
"Up to 3 months..."
Luo Kai held up a finger and said with great confidence: "We can make Kuaiyin's daily active number exceed 100 million!"
With more than 100 million daily active users, that's a completely different concept!
Zhao Leyan was silent.
The stats revealed by Luo Kai were staggering, and his confidence in Kuaiyin was even stronger, but it wasn't enough to completely deter him.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Leyan said: "Mr. Luo, the development speed of Kuaiyin is indeed very rapid, but we should see that Sweet Orange, Star Show, and Music Frequency are catching up behind, I think you should need more funds to stay ahead, right?"
Luo Kai nodded.
He can't deny this, behind the rapid growth of users, is that Kuaiyin Technology continues to invest a lot of money to support, and the number of employees alone has increased by four or five times in half a year.
For example, Kuaiyin's content moderation department, which initially had only 7 employees in charge of the daily review of short video and live content, has now surged to nearly 300 moderators!
Because at the beginning of the launch of the Kuaiyin App, Luo Kai personally formulated a strict content censorship system to kill any illegal content, and such a system needs more and more staff to implement it with the increasing number of users.
Of course, there is also an increase in expenses at the same time, and then the investment in servers and other resources is even more bottomless, and most of the funds that have been brought in in at the beginning of the A round have been consumed, although Kuaiyin has its own hematopoietic ability, but it is not enough to achieve a balance under high investment.
But if you don't advance against the current, you will retreat, and Kuaiyin will stand on the cusp of the storm but there is no way to retreat, and once you retreat, it is very likely to be surpassed by latecomers and lose your status as a hegemon.
Zhao Leyan's sweet orange, star show and music frequency are all the same type of APP that follow the trend, and all three have strong backgrounds and financial resources, and the momentum of catching up is quite fierce.
Jin Sheng undoubtedly saw this, so he had Zhao Leyan's tentative offer.
It's okay if you don't succeed, what if you do?
In Zhao Leyan's view, Kuaiyin Technology must be short of money, otherwise how could there be rumors that it will carry out Series B financing?
Seeing Luo Kai nodding and admitting, he was secretly happy in his heart, and was about to go further, but he heard Luo Kai say: "Kuaiyin Technology needs more capital investment, but I am not short of money." ”
Luo Kai looked at Zhao Leyan and smiled: "My DreamWorks Pictures has just earned 1 billion, and Shanshui Capital, Rongxin Capital and Morgan Investment Bank are all interested in participating in Kuaiyin's Series B financing project. ”
Jinsheng is not the only one staring at Kuaiyin, in fact, in addition to these capitals, several domestic IT giants have also shown considerable interest in Kuaiyin.
For example, Feixun.
Zhao Leyan was speechless, very heart-piercing.
He prides himself on being an elite in the investment field, and before meeting Luo Kai, he also had a comprehensive understanding of Luo Kai, although he grasped the problems faced by Kuaiyin Technology, but he underestimated Luo Kai's strength.
It's true that Kuaiyin Technology burns money, but as long as Luo Kai is willing to spend money, then he can afford to burn it completely.
Not to mention the two companies owned by Luo Kai, DreamWorks Pictures and Early Summer Culture, he himself has a strong ability to attract money, and it is no problem to make one or two hundred million a year from advertising alone.
The fact is that Luo Kai rarely accepts advertisements, and he receives real international brands and top-level representative fees.
It is obviously impossible to force Luo Kai to make concessions from the financial aspect.
It stands to reason that Zhao Leyan should not make such a low-level mistake, and he secretly reflected on it.
Maybe it's jealousy.
Becoming the CEO of Jinsheng Asia in his thirties, Zhao Leyan is proud of his capital, compared with the vast majority of his peers, his light is extremely dazzling, and his achievements are very beautiful.
Whether it is background, education, ability or qualifications, Zhao Leyan has a reason to look at Luo Kai with a critical eye, and subconsciously thinks that Luo Kai is just strong in luck, and then puts forward a significantly underestimated offer for Kuaiyin Technology.
Now he knew he was wrong.
"I have to admit that I underestimated you..."
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Leyan stretched out his hand to Luo Kai: "Reacquaint yourself, Mr. Luo Kai, I am Zhao Leyan of Jinsheng International, please take care of me!"
As he spoke, he bowed slightly to Luo Kai.
Luo Kai was stunned for a moment, then shook his hand with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Zhao Leyan." ”
Nie Xiaoqian's cousin is a bit interesting.
