Chapter 456: Acquaintances

Zhuang Yongsheng smiled and said: "Qiu'er thinks too simply, how can financing be financed if you say it, not to mention that logistics companies are asset-heavy projects, and it is not so easy for funds to enter more cautiously." Once there is a mistake in the middle of the process, resulting in the rupture of the capital chain, then all the heavy asset investment may come to naught. ”

Zhuang Xiangqiu said: "I didn't think about it, I thought it was the same as Taobao and Alipay now." Now Taobao and Alipay, there are many venture capitalists who are following up and contacting us, and they have always wanted to invest in us. ”

Li Zhengyi said with a smile: "This is different, logistics companies are industrial-oriented enterprises, difficult to start, slow to develop, large capital investment, low efficiency of capital return, and the risk is relatively much greater, so financing is relatively difficult." Internet companies belong to high-tech enterprises, playing with concepts, valuation ranges are very large, there are many financing rounds, and there are many opportunities to appear halfway, so venture capital companies value this type of company, if it is not for me to suppress the temporary lack of financing, with the current trend of Taobao and Alipay, it is not difficult to open your mouth to finance hundreds of millions. ”

In fact, Liu Walldong of Taobao Technology has communicated with Li Zhengyi for a long time, and many international venture capitalists are trying their best to contact him, the purpose is nothing more than to grasp the financing trends of Taobao Technology as soon as possible.

The same goes for Alipay.

These venture capitalists all know that Taobao Technology and Alipay, even if they are not short of money or financing at present, will definitely take this step in the future, sooner or later. Otherwise, it is almost impossible for Internet companies to play big without financing at all.

Li Zheng is a reborn person, and he has a cash-making dairy business, but if he wants to not raise financing at all, he can't actually do it. The financing in the later stage is no longer a simple financing capital, but a financing resource.

Resources are not equal to capital, and resources include all the factors that can drive the enterprise, such as background, contacts, capabilities, etc.

The result of the exchange with Liu Qiandong is that there is no need for financing for the time being, because most of the funds invested by Li Zhengyi have been more than half of them so far, which is enough for Taobao Technology to step up to a big step again.

Overfinancing is not advisable, not financing at all is not advisable, and financing too early is sometimes equally undesirable.

For example, Taobao Technology, now the financing valuation is about 800 million, if you wait until the second half of next year, after the baptism of time, the financing valuation may increase several times.

As for Alipay, Li Zhengyi had no intention of letting foreign capital enter at all, so no matter how diligent the international venture capital company was, he ignored it. As for domestic capital, it also depends on the situation, investors or groups with money and no background are also not needed, because Alipay is used as a political resource, and the amount of funds is not the main factor.

The development of Alipay does not need Li Zhengyi to deliberately guide at all, as long as it is equipped with sufficient human resources and hardware resources, Alipay can develop on its own.

The reason is very simple, because Alipay occupies the three major elements of time, place and people, and it is difficult to develop slowly. First of all, the time of day, Alipay appeared very timely, there are no domestic competitors; the second is the geographical advantage, which is the national level accounts for the main factor, the policy impact is very large, eBay company's payment tools are lost in this aspect; the last is the people, the emergence of Alipay, to solve the biggest obstacle of mutual distrust between people, to open up the barriers to cross-regional transactions.

Therefore, Alipay, even if Li Zhengyi cares the least, is now the best development momentum among the three companies, and there is no one.

Now Alipay's registered users have far exceeded Taobao.com, because of the open interface, so the application object and target group are getting bigger and bigger, and the influence is compared with three months ago, one in the sky and one underground.

If Alipay develops financing, the current valuation is at least about 2 billion, which is more than twice that of Taobao Technology, and it is still developing with a highly rising curve, which is the advantage of monopoly.

As for Zhengtu Technology, Li Zhengyi never thought about financing at all, because the company itself is a cash cow, and its positioning is a company used to make cash flow. In the future, so many huge games are waiting for Zhengtu Technology to act as agents and developers, and the financial benefits are immeasurable.

Just said to Zhuang Yongsheng that he would not raise funds in one to two years, which is purely a pretext, because directly saying that he will never raise funds seems to be a bit too much. What's more, Li Zhengyi specially checked that if he wants to go public in the future, then before the IPO, one or two rounds of financing are necessary, otherwise the road to listing will basically not work.

The three of them talked about the logistics company, and by the way, they talked about the personnel arrangement.

Because of the previous communication, Zhuang Yongsheng will arrange a person to assist Lin Wenxing and a few others to help develop rookie logistics.

Li Zhengyi asked if there was a specific candidate now, because it was almost the end of the year, and the funds would be officially launched into the logistics company after the New Year.

Zhuang Yongsheng said: "There have been candidates for a long time, and they are still people you know. ”

"Who do I know?" Li Zhengyi was a little confused.

Zhuang Yongsheng smiled: "Do you remember Chu Zhengqing?"

"Is that him?"

"Yes. ”

"This ...... Okay?" Li Zhengyi hesitated, "Uncle should know that the festival between me and him is relatively deep, although I don't personally manage rookie logistics, but it will be involved in the middle, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to work together in the future." ”

Zhuang Xiangqiu knew the cause and effect, and at this time, he didn't quite understand his father's arrangement, so he echoed Li Zhengyi's question, worried that the other party would make a ghost in the middle.

Zhuang Yongsheng shook his head and said: "You have more hearts, let go of 10,000 hearts, Chu Zhengqing's temper and character, I know better than you, he is not the kind of person who is blind and does not know how to advance or retreat." Besides, Chu Zhengshan is now in prison, and he still depends on me to take care of him in many aspects, and the increase or decrease of the sentence is very important to the performance in prison, if he dares to take a wrong step, I can make Chu Zhengshan unable to get out for the rest of his life, so the other party basically will not move any crooked thoughts. ”

Li Zhengyi was silent for a long time and asked, "Where is Chu Fei?"

Chu Fei was the yellow-haired gangster who was bent on finding trouble with Li Zhengyi, and after Chu Zhengshan was arrested, he suddenly disappeared overnight.

For this person, Li Zhengyi has never looked at it in his eyes, it was like this before, and it is the same now, if it weren't for Chu Zhengqing, he wouldn't even ask, but now when it comes to working with Chu Zhengqing, he has to ask.

In Li Zhengyi's impression, Chu Fei is the kind of person who has no brains, what should he do if his brain is hot and he does something bad?
