292. Higher premiums

"Okay, I know, you go get busy first." Guan Huang waved his hand and asked Song Xiaodong to go to work.

The matter of Haicheng Bank, although unexpected, is not serious.

The business dealings between "Qugou.com" and Haicheng Bank are just a 10-million-level acceptance bill.

Although it is not dispensable, it is not a big deal.

He got the news before that Wang Xiangqian was Wang Zhikun's second uncle, so he guessed that the other party might be unfavorable to "Qugou.com".

I didn't expect it to be a prophecy.

Guan Huang picked up the phone and called Zhao Yuanqing, and without much greetings, he stepped into the topic.

"Brother Zhao, have you heard about my brother?"

Zhao Yuanqing originally wanted to make a "haha", but in the flash of light, an idea flashed, and he admitted bluntly: "I heard about some." ”

Guan Huang: "I don't know how it was spread outside?" ”

Zhao Yunqing: "It's just that someone has released a rumor that "Qugou" has encountered a financial crisis, so everyone should be careful when borrowing money. ”

Guan Huang smiled: "That means that no one is willing to lend me money anymore?" ”

Zhao Yuanqing smiled "haha": "How is it possible, how can the Wang family have this strength." ”

"Oh, didn't you say that the Wang family is one of the three masters?"

Zhao Yuanqing, as a veteran rentier, is more clear about the doorway inside.

"Scaring people, do you think this is his family's territory, do whatever you want?"

"That's right", Guan Huang nodded.

This coincided with his judgment.

Although there are rentiers, there are many fewer than they were ten or twenty years ago.

Not to mention that the general situation is getting stricter and stricter.

Anti-corruption and clean government are not words, and many families have begun to rein in.

In addition, Internet companies, unlike traditional industries, really don't have many tricks to be caught.

As long as you operate well, you can avoid many natural and man-made disasters.

Zhao Yuanqing's tone was full of indifference: "Let's say an inappropriate example, drug trafficking is to be shot, you see if it is banned, just a Wang family, what is it, he says be careful?" He's the oldest! ”

Guan Huang smiled "hehe": "I'm relieved." ”

Zhao Yuanqing: "That's it, brother, you need money, I have it here, I dare not say more, 100 million is still no problem." ”

Guan Huang didn't answer, Zhao Yuanqing is not engaged in charity, he is willing to make a move at this time, the price is not small, but the friendship is received,

"Then thank you, Brother Zhao, I won't be polite if you need to."

Zhao Yuanqing was surprised.

It seems that the other party should have a back hand.

With Guan Huang's character, it is impossible to bow to the Wang family.

However, without the need for money, what are the hole cards?

didn't take advantage, he didn't care,

"Okay, speak up if you need to."

Guan Huang: "Don't worry. ”

……

The two chatted a few words and hung up the phone.

Guan Huang then asked a few more people to inquire, and the news he got was much the same.

But two things are certain:

One is: The Wang family did make a move, and even went into battle naked.

The second is: there are many people who disagree with the Wang family.

Through this news, some people learned about "Qugou.com" for the first time and became very interested.

Jiang Tao got the news and rushed back from Shanghai overnight.

A few days ago, the domestic online ordering platform, a pioneer in the food delivery industry, "Eleme" company, completed a $25 million Series C financing, led by Sequoia Capital, followed by its Series A investor GSR and Series B investor Jingwei Ventures.

At that time, Jiang Tao happened to be on a business trip in other places, and when he encountered this incident, he was sent by Guan Huang to Shanghai to inquire about the news.

"Is the work going well?"

Jiang Tao took a sip of water: "It's nothing, you talked about a few variety shows." ”

Guan Huang nodded: "That's good, what's the situation with the hungry company?" ”

When Jiang Tao heard this, his expression was excited: ", this time it's really an eye-opener, do you know how much you are valuated?" ”

Guan Huang shook his head and asked, "How much?" ”

Valuation, unless the parties take the initiative to disclose it, has always been confidential.

Jiang Tao's eyes widened, with a little incomprehension, "In this financing, the valuation of "Eleme" is close to 100 million US dollars. ”

Guan Huang frowned, "It's a bit high." ”

Although "Eleme" was founded in 2008, five years earlier than Superman, it has only opened more than 20 stations in cities, and its business is limited to online platform services, and does not participate in offline delivery and other links.

Superman is valued at $100 million, and he is hungry for a maximum of 50 million, which is still counting its time accumulation.

Jiang Tao admired Guan Huang's acumen very much, nodded and said, "Grapevine, originally the company was valued at about 60 million, but later Superman released the news of 100 million US dollars, and the tide rose when he was hungry. ”

Guan Huang thought for a while and said: "According to some public data provided by "Eleme", it now has no more than 20,000 merchants, and the number of users is almost 2 million, and the average daily order volume may be one-tenth of ours, and 30 million is still relatively reliable, which is now considered an excess premium. ”

This is not surprising either.

The valuation of start-up companies is originally arbitrary, and it all depends on the confrontation of the parties.

From the beginning of the negotiation to the finalization, it is possible to double it.

Not to mention, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the food delivery industry is about to explode, Ahri and Meituan have entered the game, and the battle for the industry is about to break out.

It is not surprising that Hungry has a higher premium with its first-mover advantage and five years of brand accumulation.

Jiang Tao was half envious, half admired, "If you are hungry, you can be valued at 100 million, and Superman is now valued at 200 million, it should be no problem." ”

Guan Huang: "Someone asked, but I didn't agree, Superman just raised 170 million, which is enough for the time being, and when the money is burned, at that time, Superman will not be doubled." ”

If you are hungry, you can borrow the momentum of Superman.

Superman can naturally also step on the hungry company and climb up.

The current superman, without a bloody battle, is not very confident in the capital market, once he has passed two or three months of competition.

Valuations can grow by five times or ten.

After all, it is a monopolist of the market and is entitled to a higher market premium.

Jiang Tao felt that his mouth was a little dry, and five million had been thrown in, and it had been turned over in less than a month.

Moreover, the prospects are even more brilliant.

This speed of making money is simply insane.

No wonder, the venture capital market is crazy, looking for outlets everywhere, and every outlet is a gold mine.

At that time, it should have been a little bolder, five million, a little less.

Finally reined in his thoughts, Jiang Tao remembered the purpose of coming back, and asked: "By the way, I heard about the Wang family, and Zhikun is a little too much this time." ”

"It's nothing, business is business."

Jiang Tao couldn't help but ask, "How?" Can this side hold up? ”

Guan Huang said disdainfully: "Tuji tile dog, don't worry. ”

Jiang Tao put his mind at ease, since Guan Huang said so, it proves that the problem is not big, "That's okay, the old man was going to see you, I don't think it's necessary." ”

Guan Huang paused, "It's time to visit my uncle, and I'll wait until I'm done with this time." ”
