With a large amount of money in hand, Superman has increased his foreign investment.

Under Guan Huang's precise vision, a number of potential companies have been included in the territory.

The advantages of the Reborn are on full play at this moment.

"Do you want to follow up on Kuaishou?" Xia Qixi came back after rinsing his mouth and applied lipstick to the mirror.

Guan Huang got up from his chair and walked to the window: "It's only been a few months, and you're going to raise money again?" ”

Xia Qixi bit his lip, making the color more ruddy and natural, "It's not because we just finished melting the money, everyone knows where the gold owner is." ”

Superman has raised nearly 20 billion yuan, which has an obvious siphon effect on the entire market.

Although it cannot be said that there is no money in the market.

However, there is still some impact.

In particular, small and medium-sized venture capital institutions account for nearly half of Superman financing.

This is not too good news for startups.

Small and medium-sized venture capitalists, who had no choice but to gamble on luck in the market before, are also advocates of angel rounds (willing to take money to support entrepreneurs who have no hair, the same as angels. ）

Now that Superman is a sure-fire business, many venture capital firms are simply closing their doors to startups that are dead or dead.

Even institutions that are willing to invest in angel rounds will be more cautious in their investment style.

Guan Huang: "What's the situation with Kuaishou now?" ”

In the past two months, he has been busy withdrawing from AR games, integrating the business of Uber (China), holding a man-machine war, and dealing with the regulatory situation......

I don't care about the development of other companies anymore.

Xia Qixi: "During this time, because of our lip-synching product, Douyin, it has attracted a lot of traffic, and a large number of celebrities have joined, and all the data have risen very fast, which has affected the growth of Kuaishou, and it has not improved much for the time being." ”

The actual situation is even more cruel than what Xia Qixi said.

Douyin took advantage of the trend of small coffee shows, raised 200 million US dollars, and became a new force in the video field.

Kuaishou is still a little-known grassroots product, it can't find its own direction, and the product foundation is not particularly stable.

A number of investors are planning to exit.

The interior is also a mess.

Guan Huang: "How is Kuaishou's business doing?" ”

Xia Qixi: "The company has only 100 people, no income, and the daily life of the product is about 20 million dau, in short, there is not much brilliance." However, Baidu wants to make a strategic investment, but Kuaishou is still thinking about it and has not agreed. ”

Guan Huang frowned: "Strategic investment? ”

Xia Qixi stroked his hair, "Zhang Gong (Zhang Bo) told me that Baidu's strategy is to see all emerging media products, and it is the same as your judgment, that video must be an important content carrier and medium in the next stage." ”

Guan Huang nodded.

Baidu has put a lot of effort into this, investing in iQiyi, creating videos with search results, and spinning off Baidu Video (tens of millions of daily active users......

Xia Qixi: "If Kuaishou becomes part of Baidu's video strategy, then Baidu long video has iQiyi, short video (or live broadcast) has Kuaishou, and there is also search and information flow, and a new territory will appear." ”

Guan Huang asked: "Does Kuaishou want to make a short video?" ”

Xia Qixi shook his head: "It's not sure, Baidu hopes that Kuaishou can do short video advertising, and Kuaishou wants to do live broadcasts himself." ”

Last year, Superman launched a live broadcast to answer questions, which attracted huge traffic, and for a while, hundreds of live broadcast companies popped up.

"Live?"

Xia Qixi: "I have communicated with people in Kuaishou, and they are very entangled, whether it is advertising or live broadcasting. The form of live broadcast is very similar to short video, the content is all people, but live broadcast has one benefit, that is, it can be integrated into the waterfall of short video. ”

Guan Huang did not speak.

Xia Qixi continued: "Baidu hopes that Kuaishou will do short video advertising, because Suhua itself is a person from Fengchao, and Baidu is ready to transfer a large number of people to study how to open an advertising system for Kuaishou and advertise him." ”

Guan Huang groaned, "Then continue to chase the investment, our live broadcast has not started, I hope Kuaishou can have a good performance." ”

Superman is the first big company to engage in live broadcasting, and for various reasons, live broadcasting is sparse.

Eventually, it was packaged and incorporated into Douyin.

Xia Qixi did not object, although he couldn't see where Kuaishou's profit prospects were, but he was convinced of Guan Huang's judgment.

After so many turmoil, men's prestige has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Once he makes a decision, he executes it 100%.

"Kuaishou wants to raise $200 million, with a valuation of less than $2 billion."

Guan Huang: "Promise him." ”

This amount of money is nothing to Superman now.

Although Superman officially announced that this round of financing funds will be used to consolidate the company's existing market leadership, further expand and deepen the domestic market and new business, as well as for the company's platform technology upgrade, big data research and development and operation, and improve user experience efficiency.

But where the money is spent, Guan Huang has the final say.

You can spend your money on automotive services such as logistics, insurance, and finance, or you can spend it on areas such as map technology and location services, or make some financial investments.

This kind of thing can be brought to the table and said.

Neither investors nor the company's top management have much opinion.

20 billion, which is really an astronomical number.

Less than half of the R&D investment is used, and the rest of the funds cannot be put on the account to sleep.

Not to mention, Guan Huang's original intention was to amplify the ability to raise funds through the platform of Superman.

The profits of the takeaway and taxi-hailing markets are too low, and the squeezing is too ruthless, which is easy to provoke right and wrong.

Relying on the company's own hematopoietic ability, it is really not enough to support Superman's rapid advance.

Financing became the only means.

I was cautious because the future was uncertain.

If you are not careful, capital will be anti-customer-oriented.

Look at the treatment of Karanik.

Fight to the death with benchmark capital.

When entrepreneurs see it, they all have relatives.

Therefore, Guan Huang would rather embarrass himself and choose a rugged path than hand over his fate to others.

Now, Uber has withdrawn from China, and "Jueyi" has been born, so it can be said that the overall situation has been decided.

Even if there are one or two careerists, it is not enough to shake Guan Huang's dominance.

Therefore, it is necessary to let go of your hands and feet and raise large sums of money.

In Guan Huang's plan, in the next two to three years, he will raise about $20 billion to $30 billion.

Lay out big data, biotechnology, robotics, unmanned technology, 3D technology, new materials, Internet medical care, education, culture and entertainment, etc., to build a business empire.

That's what a regenerate person should do.

All the hard work before is for the harvest now.

As long as he persists, Guan Huang will become a god-like figure in the future investment circle.

An investor with a vision, without him has money.

He who is richer than him does not have his vision.

After being reborn, starting a business? Investment is king.

The former accumulates money, and the latter amplifies capital.
