"You help me rub my back", Xia Qixi didn't want to discuss feelings with outsiders, so he diverted the topic.

Chen Ling pouted, "Okay." ”

Xia Qixi said casually: "Qugou is going to carry out a round A financing, with a valuation of 5 billion yuan and a quota of 1 billion US dollars, led by Goose Factory. ”

Chen Ling: "Aren't you supermen quite rich?" I just raised 3 billion US dollars, why didn't I lead the investment? ”

Xia Qixi: "For such a thing as starting a business, it is natural to diversify the risk and be able to raise money, which shows that everyone is optimistic about the project." ”

Chen Ling picked up the bath towel and helped Xia Qixi wipe it up, "I know the truth, but it's not like your boss's style." ”

Xia Qixi: "What style can our boss have." ”

She naturally knew what the other party meant.

With Guan Huang's desire to control, generally in the early stage of entrepreneurship, he will not attract too strong investors, lest some people turn against customers.

However, the specific Qugou network is another story.

There are challenges both inside and out.

Internally speaking, when it comes to the game between professional managers and major shareholders, both of them have a lot in their hearts.

Lao Huang took advantage of the fact that the company could not do without him for the time being, and wanted to strive for a certain initiative.

It's human nature.

Whoever is in this position will do it, and there is no need to ask for anything.

For Guan Huang, there are also trade-offs.

At this stage, it is to try to let go as much as possible, so that the other party's talent can be fully displayed, and at the same time, it is necessary to ensure a certain degree of control to ensure that the wild horse will not get out of the leash.

From the outside, after all, it is the goose factory, the absolute overlord.

The market value is more than 1.4 trillion yuan, almost reaching the GDP of Shenzhen.

Less than 10%, that's an insult to others.

Not to mention, in Lao Huang's plan, he also borrowed the blessing of the other party's traffic.

Therefore, in this financing, the goose factory directly ate the amount of 800 million US dollars and held 16% of the shares.

Chen Ling replied: "Your boss's strength is famous in the rivers and lakes, and you are still here to defend him." ”

Xia Qixi hadn't spoken yet.

Chen Ling: "However, the style of the goose factory has never been involved in too much management affairs, which is more in line with your boss's thoughts." ”

For the invested enterprises, the goose factory has always only needed dividends, a sum of money, and assistance flow.

They have always insisted that they can't know more about how to run and do social and gaming companies than the original company.

Xia Qixi naturally wouldn't tell her the inside story of Qugou.com, and said with a smile, "Compared with the other one, our boss really likes it." ”

Ahri has a domineering style, and whoever invests will buy whomever he wants.

Let startups run the way they want.

The usual result is that the entrepreneur is out.

Chen Ling sprinkled water and said, "Your boss was born in the wrong era, if it was ten or even five years earlier, he must be a character like Shuangma." ”

"Not now?"

Chen Ling: "It's too late, and some opportunities are gone once they are missed." ”

Xia Qixi: "I don't believe it, there are still long days ahead." ”

"It's the times that make heroes, not the other way around."

Xia Qixi defended: "The biggest advantage of our boss is that he is young, and he can get out of it." ”

"Kill everybody, you're an artist?"

Xia Qixi ignored her ridicule, "If you don't believe it, let's make a bet." ”

Chen Ling was interested: "What are you betting on?" ”

"Bet that our company will definitely replace Baidu as one of the Big Three."

Chen Ling: "This standard is too vague. ”

"Then you say."

Chen Ling: "Just bet on the market value of two trillion yuan and see if you can reach it in your lifetime." ”

Before she could finish her sentence, she burst out laughing.

2 trillion, even Ahri and Tencent have not done it.

Shanghai, which ranks first in terms of GDP among domestic cities, weighed only 2.5 trillion yuan in GDP last year.

Xia Qixi didn't take it seriously, and said casually: "Okay, I agree." ”

Anyway, there is no time, no bets, let alone two trillion, ten trillion dare to bet.

Chen Ling picked up the lotus shower head, sprinkled it with water, blew off the bubbles on Xia Qixi's body, and couldn't help but admire: "Your back is so beautiful." ”

White as jade, like congealed fat.

"Nothing."

"Guan Huang doesn't love it to death, I think you look best in a backless outfit."

"Don't talk nonsense."

The more Chen Ling looked at it, the more he liked it, and lowered his head and kissed it lightly.

"Don't ...... Itchy...... Haha", Xia Qixi couldn't help but chuckle.

——————

After Superman completes a new round of financing, it is said that it has more than $4 billion in cash on its books.

What is this concept?

A company valued at $1 billion is a unicorn.

If it can reach $10 billion, it is already a small giant.

$4 billion,

25 billion RMB,

It's like holding nuclear weapons.

Be invincible!

The fact that Superman was able to take so much cash from investors only means one thing: in the eyes of those big investors, Superman is already a winner.

The winner deserves to double the bet.

Superman's list of investors is filled with top companies and top investment institutions.

Some of them are rivals to each other.

Other startups, even if they have reached the scale of tens of billions of dollars, have to struggle with which side to choose between Ahri and Tencent.

For example, Meituan, Weibo, Youku, YTO, 58.com, Vipshop......

But Ali and Tencent are shareholders of Superman at the same time.

And, for now, in this company, the two shareholders are fine.

With a valuation of more than $70 billion, Superman surpassed Uber, an iconic company in the sharing economy, to become the most expensive startup in the world.

Superman's daily order volume is about 30 million per day, and it is one of the largest trading platforms in the world in terms of single volume.

As far as the eye can see, there is no competitor to fight.

It took Superman only four years to achieve such an achievement.

Of course, everything is one and the same.

Where there is yin, there is yang.

Flipping to the other side of the coin, these achievements also have their shadows.

For example, in the view of critics, it is precisely because of its strength and its lack of strong enough competitors that it can enjoy the benefits of the monopoly.

Seeking monopoly benefits.

Superman emerged as an innovator to solve the dissatisfaction of drivers and passengers in the past in the process of providing mobility services, and still survive the cruel competition.

However, a new grievance is created, and then it is treated as another object to be subverted.

New players are emerging in the market one after another.

Yidao, Shenzhou, Meituan,

Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou have also appeared like Shouqi, Volkswagen, and ...... This kind of platform with a government or state-owned enterprise background.

This process has been repeated over and over again in the history of business.

Back then, drivers and passengers voted with their feet and with their money, creating a new platform that was designed to solve their own pain points, not just vent their dissatisfaction with the original service delivery platform.

If Superman wants to change the embarrassing situation he is facing and truly become a great company, he still has a long way to go.
