009 Investing Wildly

"Walk slowly!" Standing in front of the café, Chang Dong waved goodbye to Zhang Fei and the others, his expression was quite excited.

Clearly, the investment talks went very well.

In fact, although the topic of the two sides diverted to the universal WIFI, the chopsticks hand investment was still negotiated.

After a verbal exchange between the two sides, in the end, everyone took a step back, and Chang Dong won 38% of the equity of Chopsticks with 30 million yuan and became the largest shareholder of Chopsticks.

So far, the shares of each party are: Changdong 38%, Suhua and the team 31%, Cheng Yixiao and the team 24.8%, and Chenguang Capital 6.2%.

Here's an episode, though:

After the negotiation, Zhang Fei asked Chang Dong whether he invested in his own name? Or is it a nominal investment in the company?

Tut!

As soon as Chang Dong heard this question, he knew that there must be a doorway here, so he immediately asked humbly.

Zhang Fei was surprised when he heard this!

Could this Chang Dong be living overseas? Don't understand the national situation?

However, although it was strange in his heart, Zhang Fei still introduced it concisely.

The biggest difference between investing in the name of an individual and a company is like eating chicken and eggs.

Investments such as raising chickens.

If it is to eat eggs (dividends), invest in the name of the company. Because the company's investment dividends are exempt from income tax; Individual dividends are subject to 20% individual income tax.

If you eat chicken in order to sell your equity, then in your personal name. Because individuals only need to pay 20% of personal income tax; In the name of the company, legal persons and natural persons have been levied in two rounds, and the comprehensive tax is as high as 40%.

Zhang Fei's easy-to-understand explanation made Chang Dong suddenly realize.

Chopsticks are not some companies that rely on storytelling and non-stop financing to survive, and its profitability is obvious to all in the future, and Changdong invests in it naturally to eat eggs.

Therefore, it is most cost-effective to invest in the name of the company.

Although the registration of investment companies is now prohibited, there are always more ways than difficulties, and Changdong can completely acquire a shell investment company to achieve its goal.

When talking about the acquisition of investment companies, Zhang Fei said that he can provide assistance to accounting lawyers and help with due diligence verification.

However, this was politely rejected by Chang Dong.

It's not that he doesn't want to admit it, it's that he doesn't trust Zhang Fei.

Chang Dong, who has experienced being trapped by his blood aunt's family in his previous life, has difficulty trusting others. Although Zhang Fei's name is not small, he is afraid of everything!

So he would rather spend a little more money than hand over such an important thing to someone else.

"Huh......" Chang Dong glanced at the low-hanging sun, exhaled lightly, and was about to take a taxi to leave, when a shout suddenly came from behind him.

"Chang Dong!"

He turned his head to take a look, only to see Zhong Tongxin and Zhou Yang, who should have left a long time ago, standing not far away.

"Uh, you ......"

"Mr. Chang, I'm really sorry, I have no eyes, I have been neglected before, and you have a lot of forgiveness." Zhou Yang leaned over and handed over a cigarette with a humble attitude.

Chang Dong stretched out his hand to stop it, and that posture made Zhou Yang's heart chuckle, like falling into the abyss.

"I'm sorry, I didn't feel comfortable after chatting all afternoon, so I won't smoke."

Zhou Yang didn't know if Chang Dong was really uncomfortable in his throat or didn't give face, but he just forced a smile: "I'm sorry, I don't know if Mr. Chang is sick!" Hehe, that Mr. Chang, you see that you have also drunk coffee all afternoon, and you are hungry when you come, right? I booked a table at Huagui Mansion, can I have dinner together? ”

"No need, I still have something to do, let's talk about dinner later!" Chang Dong didn't want to refuse casually, he had such a little time during the winter vacation, but he didn't have time to spend on the wine table.

Zhou Yang's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Zhong Tongxin looked at Zhou Yang with a complicated expression, and had to help: "Chang Dong, how long have you not seen each other, let's have a meal together, you see that the sky is getting dark, and you are not in a hurry to do anything, right?" ”

"I'm not in a hurry to eat, I can eat at any time, I'm really having something to do now, that's it, we'll talk about it later." Chang Dong waved his hand, stopped a taxi, and left.

Joke, what do I have to talk to you as a married woman?

"Hey......" Zhong Tongxin also wanted to knock on the car window, but was finally stopped by Zhou Yang.

He knows what it means to stop in moderation, and excessive entanglement will only backfire.

"Mr. Chang may really have something, don't dwell on it, didn't you say that you have his contact information?" Zhou Yang looked at the taxi in the distance, his expression uncertain.

"I used to have him QQ in the high school group, and I'm not sure if I can add it."

"Give it a try, if you can add it, make an appointment in two days."

"Well... bar. ”

Chang Dong left in a hurry, naturally looking for an intermediary.

As the capital of a country, there is nothing that cannot be bought in Yanjing, and the company is also included.

With money opening the way, the process of acquiring investment companies is smooth.

In other words, the huge Yanjing has a special intermediary agency that makes a living from this. Essentially, they are no different from those who hoard high-quality QQ accounts.

In order to prevent trouble, Changdong simply acquired a shell investment company with a registered capital of 50 million yuan, 0 declarations, and no operation, called Yanjing Chenxi Investment Management Co., Ltd.

However, although the process of selecting a company is fast, the process of equity transfer is slow, taking at least two weeks.

Well, before school starts, Chang Dong can't finish this.

Fortunately, there are intermediaries in the follow-up process, but it can't delay him, and the chopsticks are not in a hurry to ask for the 30 million financing!

Of course, in order to prevent accidents, the two parties still signed the relevant contract and only waited for the performance.

On the third day of the café's "Discussion", Chang Dong secretly contacted the Xiaohongshu team, spent 20 million yuan to cut off Hu Qi's A round of financing, and won 25% of the equity in his personal name.

To be honest, this result was somewhat unexpected by Chang Dong.

Because in the process of contacting the other party, I knew that there was already capital to contact Xiaohongshu, and the control team had a deep background, so in order to avoid long nights and dreams, I simply gave in.

In fact, as a man, Chang Dong doesn't know much about Xiaohongshu, which represents women, light luxury, community, sharing, and overseas shopping.

In the previous life, although Xiaohongshu was known as the second in the spell, after the D round of financing, with a valuation of 20 billion, it was not a listed company after all, and the key information was not public, and Chang Dong only had a slight impression of it.

So he didn't plan to eat Xiaohongshu's eggs, and after deciding on its D round of financing, he relied on his identity as a shareholder to see its actual operation, and if he was not optimistic, he would kill the chicken and eat the meat and sell the equity.

To complete the investment in Xiaohongshu, the time has reached the twelfth day of the first month.

There are three days left before the Lantern Festival, in the memory of Changdong's bitter social animals, the Lantern Festival is almost weightless, there is a reason why the Spring Festival has just been lively, but more because the Lantern Festival is not off.

"Mom, I'm going to play here during the Lantern Festival, uh-huh, don't worry, I can take care of myself, okay, okay, I'll go directly to school when the time comes, don't worry about it, uh-huh, okay...... Hung up? ”

Hanging up the phone at home, Chang Dong exhaled slightly.

After the Lantern Festival, the winter vacation will also end, so he must take advantage of the last three days to try his best to complete the last step of the layout - to acquire part of the equity of "Toutiao".

How awesome the headlines are today, just give an example.

In 2019, the world's most gold-absorbing video APP, the top of the list is Meidi YT, chopsticks ranked second, and Douyin ranked third.

In other words, the rival of the chopsticks is Douyin, and the two are almost equally divided in the Central Plains.

And Douyin is the APP of Toutiao today!

That's not to mention the size of the headlines today!

In fact, in addition to Douyin, all of the six King Kong APPs under Toutiao are famous, and Toutiao is also valued at 500 billion yuan.

Chang Dong, who was a social animal in his previous life, did not know the timing of the financing of Toutiao today.

At present, the information he can find is that Toutiao has completed the B round of financing on September 1, 2013, with a financing amount of up to 10 million US dollars.

At present, Changdong still has more than 100 million in cash, but when converted into US dollars, according to the exchange rate in 2014, it is only more than 16 million US dollars.

So at this time, Toutiao's C round of financing, he is not qualified at all, unless he follows the investment.

But as a younger brother, how much equity can you get? In this case, it is better to take advantage of the current low valuation and buy the equity privately.

"Mr. Cao agrees to see you the day after tomorrow!" Zhang Fei called and said that the Mr. Cao in his mouth was an investor who invested in Toutiao in the angel round, and he had a lot of original stocks in his hands.

Mr. Cao is also the founder and partner of Yuanma Capital, and before founding Yuanma Capital, he worked for Sequoia, Ceyuan and other institutions, and is also a well-known figure in the investment community.

"Great, I'm really bothering you!"

Mr. Chang was polite. By the way, Chen Danian asked my friend to test the tone, as you expected, there is no interest in us, are you sure...... Alone? ”
