Erin quickly responded: "There are still about 440 million in the book capital pool. ”

Luo Sheng was stunned for a while: "That's all there is left?" Well, even if the copyright expenditure is more than 1.6 billion, there is still more than 1 billion left in the B round of financing, and the company's book funds before financing are almost 200 million, hao123 had an income of more than 40 million last year, and it has earned 70 or 80 million this year, nearly 1.4 billion money, why is it spent 440 million? It's not like the operating cost of 300 million a month before July, right? ”

Erin said angrily: "If the monthly operating cost before July is 300 million, the company will not be able to pay wages in May, is it possible that you still suspect that my account is not done correctly?" If you don't believe it, call your little secret Qin Weimu audit audit, it's really not a good family to know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. ”

Saying that, he inexplicably heard a certain taste of resentment, Luo Sheng sweated profusely in his heart, a woman's thinking and brain circuits are really jumpy, sometimes it's really troublesome.

Although Luo Sheng likes to be crazy on the verge of a fire in the backyard, he doesn't want to really set himself on fire, so he hurriedly said: "If I don't trust you, no one in the whole company can be trusted, whether it is ability or quality, there is no reservation, especially ability, although your qualifications are not as good as Qin Weimu, but your ability is not far behind, on the other hand, you are much stronger than her." ”

As soon as Erin heard this, she was so full of satisfaction, not to mention that she was at least satisfied in her heart, Luo Sheng sighed in her heart: Brother is really a logical genius!

immediately changed the topic and said with a smile: "Do you want to eat goose meat today?" Available at any time, the amount is large and full, and it is quasi-fresh! ”

Hearing this, Erin suddenly glanced at him angrily: "Go, think beautiful...... I have already reported the company's financial situation, you are the boss, you look at it. ”

After saying that, Erin turned around leisurely and left the office as if nothing had happened.

Luo Sheng looked up to the sky and sighed: "A woman's thinking is really comparable to an unreasonable equation, take the initiative to supply or not, usually have to, I am really difficult." ”

After a while, Luo Sheng's eyes fell on the documents on the desktop, and he immediately put away his thoughts, picked them up and flipped through them casually for a while.

Erin is right, with the launch of the streaming video business, the operating costs may soar to 400 million next month, and the salary will not be able to be paid next month, and there will be no money to pay the network fee if the salary is delayed next month.

After thinking for a while, Luo Sheng immediately put the documents away and put them in the folder layer on the side, and then made a phone call to Zhang Bowen and asked him to contact the investor.

Luo Sheng took the initiative to find VC, and that was one word - money!

After arranging things, after about ten minutes, Luo Sheng left Bluestar Technology and went to the Cote d'Azur Laboratory instead.

For a long time in the future, one-third of his daily working hours will be spent in Bluestar Technology Company and two-thirds in Cote d'Azur Company, but it is not absolutely fixed, and the specific arrangement is based on the actual situation.

Bluestar Technology's capital bottomed out, and to some extent, it also proved that the company continued to grow and develop, followed by crazy soaring operating costs.

Back then, Brother Xiao Ma once wanted to sell QQ, but it was estimated that he couldn't afford the Internet fee.

However, Luo Sheng is not in a hurry or panic, the company's current funds can support about forty or fifty days, he has preset a safety line, before the next mid-September, it is necessary to negotiate the C round of financing, that is, within the next 24 days.

Once there is no negotiation after 24 days, the company immediately launched the monetization plan, starting with [BlueSpace], Luo Sheng is of course unwilling to start the traffic monetization plan at this time, which is very cost-effective in the long run.

But if you can't raise money, it will have to change, otherwise the company's capital will not be able to operate.

And once it changes, Luo Sheng will not seek any plans to raise funds privately, and the VC will not want to give money, either simply postpone the listing time, or directly IPO.

Luo Sheng is not a person who will repay him, but he is definitely a person with a temper, and his temper is also relatively violent.

……

Zhang Bowen, the company's chief operating officer, was dealing with this matter and sent a notice to the company's major investors one by one.

The news that Bluestar Technology is going to launch a new round of financing has spread far and wide, and the company has no intention of concealing it at all, as an executive of Bluestar Technology, the news of Zhang Bowen contacting investors has been reported by the media.

As a star-level Internet company in China, and even an Internet company that has attracted much attention in the Silicon Valley technology circle, Bluestar Technology's every move has attracted the attention of the industry.

Not surprisingly, Bluestar Technology launched a new round of financing, and many entrepreneurs in the industry are afraid that they have "again" reached the moment when a new round of envy and jealousy is full.

When it entered the streaming video business in mid-to-late August, it attracted the attention of the industry again in less than three days with the launch of the product.

However, there are not many people who follow the trend this time, and there is no financial backing to do streaming media business, and a network fee expenditure discourages many entrepreneurs, in addition, because this time is not a disruptive innovation model, streaming media technology has been born for some years, and there are dozens of video sharing sites on the market at present, among which Netflix is the most eye-catching.

There are even voices that are declining, and the innovation of Bluestar Technology has dried up?

In fact, the media headlines the party only.

Practitioners who are really deeply engaged in the field of streaming media technology will never think so, not to mention that Bluestar Technology has taken the lead in the current online video sharing sites in terms of 23 patented technologies in the field of streaming media technology.

With the passage of time, entering September, on September 7, all major venture capital institutions of Bluestar Technology have completed the audit of the company's current operating expenses through third-party audit institutions, and the data submitted by the company are completely consistent.

This makes the major VCs have nothing to say, and they are also very satisfied, and every discrepancy of Bluestar Technology can withstand the verification of third-party auditors 100%.

On September 11, the day that the Internet community is definitely watching this year, the media in the industry sent reporters to the first Hilton hotel on the Bund in Shencheng on the morning of that day.

As soon as this hotel opened, it has been one of the landmarks of Jing'an and even the whole Shencheng, in the nineties of the last century, there is no modern building here, and the 40-storey Shencheng Hilton Hotel is the most luxurious high-rise building here, and there is a helicopter landing platform on the top floor.

At this moment, seventy or eighty media and even mainstream media gathered at the Hilton Hotel early.

Because today Bluestar Technology wants to negotiate with the representatives and heads of major VCs about the C round of financing, and the location is set in this hotel.

A financing business negotiation can attract so much attention, not only because Bluestar Technology is the largest among domestic Internet companies, but also because it is the only company among domestic Internet companies that has successfully achieved business globalization so far, but also because the investors involved in this time are basically investment institutions that are prominent in the business world and even Wall Street.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, luxury cars drove to the gate of the Hilton Hotel, and the reporters at the scene were also constantly capturing.

Before and after, Liu Wen of Venture Capital Fund, Li Yan of Softbank Capital, Chen Tao of IDG, Meng Qiu of Goldman Sachs Capital, etc., the heads of these top VCs in Greater China have come.

The previous major investors of Bluestar Technology were not absent, and Xu Chenghua's representative Teng Xun also came.

However, he also knew that Teng Xun was mostly here to make soy sauce this time, and Xu Chenghua came this time for two purposes, one is to ensure that Teng Xun's equity in Bluestar Technology is not diluted, and the other is to squeeze out a little money to eat as much as possible.

But it will definitely not be able to eat much, because the valuation of this Series C financing will definitely break the record, which is the default consensus in the industry.

It may also be the last round of financing, and after the C round, it will enter the IPO stage without surprise.

The momentum of Bluestar Technology is there, the company is operating well, while expanding rapidly, constantly launching new businesses, and also very successfully, the company's business value will rise almost every 1 month.

It is also accompanied by the continuous rise in the ability to burn money, and VC is also a little unbearable.

And this Series C financing also has two new faces.
