Chapter 67: Capital Arrives!
During this period of time, the news of Neutron Star financing is the most high-profile event in China, and almost everyone who pays attention to the Internet or financial field is waiting, wanting to know how much money Pan Entertainment Group can raise for the first time.
Anyone with a little long-term vision can see the huge potential of this company, let alone the capital industry that is most sensitive to the market?
Unsurprisingly, the world's most famous investment firms will send people to negotiate with them, more or less wanting to take some shares.
All eyes are on the Xizi Building in Hangzhou!
On the afternoon of April 25th, the conference room of Neutron Star Pan Entertainment Group!
"Mr. Zhong, Xiong Xiaoge, the person in charge of IDG, has arrived!" Li Donghui woke up Zhong Zixing, who was pondering.
When he looked up, he saw Xiong Xiaoge, who had given a speech at the IT Leaders Summit nearly a month ago, and it was this person who gave him the idea of spinning up the company and financing and listing unimportant areas.
Xiong Xiaoge had a faint smile and a kind face, followed by an assistant.
"Mr. Xiong, long time no see, sit here!!" Zhong Zixing greeted each other with a smile and walked up to shake hands with each other.
"yes, it's been almost a month!"
Xiong Xiaoge found a seat at his invitation and said: "I've been waiting for the news that Neutron Star is going to be financed, but I didn't expect it to be so late, Mr. Zhong revealed it to the public, so that the capital circle will wait for a while!" ”
"Haha, to be honest, I didn't plan to raise money, but after listening to Mr. Xiong's words at the IT Leaders Summit, I had a plan to raise funds!"
"So, I should be thankful that my ideas moved you?" Xiong Xiaoge teased, and then pointed out the door.
"When I first came, I met Sequoia Capital, SoftBank, KPCB and DFJ people, it should be almost there!"
As soon as the words fell, a group of people walked into the conference room under the leadership of assistant Chu Wangduan.
All of them are well-known figures in the capital circle, especially SoftBank's Masayoshi Son, who actually came over in person again......
"Mr. Sun, meet again!" Zhong Zixing walked over and shook hands with several major capitalists one by one, and then led the people to their seats.
"The last time I came here was five months ago, I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, Neutron Star could grow into a giant of China's Internet. The chubby Son sighed.
He regretted it very much, why didn't he be more resolute at that time? If you come up with funds that people can't refuse, how can you miss the initial opportunity for the development of neutron stars.
Five months ago, Zhong Zixing said in front of him and Ma Yun that he would not raise funds, and Sun Zhengyi didn't listen to this kind of thing at all.
Many start-up leaders treat the company as their own children, but if the children want to get a bigger stage when they grow up, they must be helped by others, and parents simply cannot help their children for a lifetime.
So he thought that Neutron Star would raise funds sooner or later, but he didn't expect that the time would drag on for five months, and this financing might have to pay a lot of price.
But no matter what the cost, you must get a stake in Neutron Star.
......
The Internet field is not worth anything at all until it has made achievements!
Because anyone can do an idea, there are countless companies that go out of business or rise in an instant...... No one can guarantee that you will have the last laugh in a certain field!
"Neutron Star has a very strong sense of crisis, and looking at the development of Weibo, it is really a link and a link!" Xiong Xiaoge was the first to speak, "Mr. Zhong, can you tell me about your specific valuation of Neutron Star Pan Entertainment Group?" ”
In the early days of Weibo's development, Zhong Zixing, in order to make the latecomers Xinlang, Teng Xun, Wangyi and his dead rice unable to catch up, first asked his former mentor to let colleges and universities register to speak on Weibo.
After that, he advertised on Mango TV, which is aimed at young people across the country, and pulled a happy family with strong connections to register on Weibo, which swept the entertainment industry!
While constantly paying for advertising and expanding its influence, it only took half a year to come step by step to a point that was difficult for latecomers to reach.
It can be said that this lightning-fast development model has shocked the industry.
So far, whether it is Xinlang or Wangyi and Tengxun's Weibo, they are all in a half-dead state, and only Neutron Star Weibo has occupied the entire market.
"Mr. Xiong has an overreputation, there were several companies with huge energy on Weibo at that time, and I didn't have to use extraordinary means, I was not sure to defeat them in this field!" Zhong Zixing said modestly.
"In the winner-takes-all Internet industry, burning money for development is the most correct way, and no one can do better than Mr. Zhong!" Son praised.
Teng Xun and other companies did not react, and won the victory, if Zhong Zixing did not have the funds to advertise, not to mention the possibility of being overtaken from behind, the crisis still exists.
After chatting for a while, Zhong Zixing began to get to the point: "Before talking about valuation, I want you to take a look at the next strategic plan of our pan-entertainment group!" Of course, you have to sign a non-disclosure agreement first! ”
He doesn't want the strategy of the pan-entertainment group to be known by other companies, and if they get in the way, maybe the difficulty of the development of the strategy that has been set will increase suddenly.
"Non-disclosure agreement? And rightfully so! Many representatives of capital looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Non-disclosure agreements are very common in the industry, investment companies must pay attention to the spirit of the contract, and everyone here knows that the path planned by a company is the least known by competitors, so everyone can understand and agree.
It took a few minutes to print the agreement, and after everyone signed it, Zhong Zixing began to explain.
On the big screen in the conference room, a picture that had been prepared in advance appeared.
Weibo is in the center, extending a line that connects circles, the most obvious of which is the music and game platform that has been completed!
"Huh?" When many people saw this picture, their eyes lit up and they immediately understood the meaning.
With Weibo as the center, it spread to the entire Internet entertainment field, and eventually became a super giant across many online entertainment.
"No wonder it's called Pan Entertainment Group, it turns out that Zhong always has this plan?" Son laughed, and his heart was even more imperative for this financing.
"Weibo is the core, attracting traffic to interactive entertainment projects such as games, music, novels, videos, animation and comics, and even live broadcast platforms? I have to say it's an amazing idea! ”
"It's true that Weibo is the core, but the next key strategy is the novel website!" Zhong Zixing pointed to the icon of the novel with a laser pointer.
"Why? I believe there will be a market and potential for online novels, but it is far from the time to explode, right? ”
"Mr. Xiong is right, but in my eyes, the novel is the next most important part of the company...... If you expand the influence of the novel in the hearts of netizens, then the next step is to adapt the novel, whether it is to make a game, draw a comic, or make a movie or TV series, it is the best way to attract users! ”
