"Is Robin Lee crazy?"

This is a hotly discussed issue in the venture capital circle recently, because Xiong Factory's decisive move this time is not at all like the previous investment style.

Haven't you heard of the change in the war investment department?

Soon, someone inquired and found out that this time it was the boss Li Robin who made the decision personally, you must know that the more sticky the personality is, when he is really ruthless, he can do surprising things with a grit of his teeth and a stomp of his feet.

That's all you can say.

No matter how the outside world speculated, how the capital in the capital and the Kuaidu office in Lin'an scolded the mother had no impact on Lin Yi.

He was in the office explaining to the team where the money came from, and everyone except his sister had just learned the shocking news.

$120 million!

This number is not compared with other ride-hailing software, but it is counted among startups in the entire IT industry.

When outsiders want to discuss the speed of wealth creation in this industry, they often use a sentence called "three years for unicorns, five years for NASDAQ".

Unicorns are startups valued at more than $1 billion, and the NASDAQ is the most commonly used exchange for U.S. technology companies to go public.

Although the post-investment valuation of Wanli Travel is less than 1 billion, it has been established for less than half a year!

In short, it's a super bombshell.

"Large companies like BAT are different from ordinary venture capital institutions, after all, they are still enterprises rather than financial institutions, so when investing, they focus on strategic value and business synergy rather than economic returns."

"If I'm dealing with venture capital, it's unlikely that I'll be able to get this kind of valuation and amount of financing at this point in time."

Lin Yi explained it himself, and found that his colleagues didn't care why Xiong Factory was willing to give money, anyway, the money arrived!

It's okay, morale +100.

On the day the news was announced, Lin Yi was bombarded with phone calls again, and he didn't have time to reply one by one until he was busy with all his work, so it was already late at night after returning to the dormitory.

Lin Yi is still in the dormitory of Jingdian, because he often travels on business, and when he is in Beijing, he also goes out early and returns late, so he rarely meets his roommates.

But this time, when he went back, he found that none of the three in the dormitory were sleeping.

After Li Jianguo dropped out of school and left, the school did not arrange for anyone else to live in their dormitory, and the local Duan Yumin often went home, so there were only three "permanent residents" in the dormitory:

Zheng Xun, Wang Wenfeng and Lu Zilong.

Now the two of them were looking at Lin Yi who had just entered the door with a strange look, making him wonder if he had something on his face.

"What's going on?"

Wang Wenfeng walked around him, looked at him carefully, and then said thoughtfully: "Observe how the physiology of a billionaire is different from that of an ordinary human being as a Muggle. ”

As soon as Lin heard this, he understood, and many of the people who called today also asked about it.

This can't be wrong, of the $20 million he sold on the casual takeout network before, he actually got $12.8 million, which is less than 100 million when converted into RMB.

This time it's different.

Wanli Chuxing's post-investment valuation reached $500 million, of which Xiongchang and Liu Jianni took a total of 24% of the shares in the case of failing to fulfill the VAM conditions of performance commitments.

Usually in this case, there is an opportunity to fight with the bear factory to talk about the valuation to 600 million, but Lin Yi is worried that Li Robin will think about it again, so he would rather have an extra 4% stake.

According to 500 million, Lin Yi accounted for about 80% of the remaining shares, and the rest belonged to the senior sister, CTO Wang Kai, and the rest of the team members.

In other words, after this round of financing, Lin Yi's theoretical net worth has exceeded 300 million US dollars!

This number is too abstract, what is the specific concept?

Based on the US dollar exchange rate and the gold price in 2013, it is equivalent to about six or seven tons of gold.

Lin Yi himself was taken aback when he thought of this, and he also felt incredible about this value-added speed, but his own reaction may be more flat, because the $300 million cannot be spent.

"The valuation of financing is just a reference, if this business fails, then my shares in Wanli Travel will be worthless, you don't have to take it too seriously."

Lin Yi didn't want the people around him to change their attitude towards him because of this, but in reality, it was impossible for them to be indifferent.

His words are equivalent to indirectly acknowledging the title of billionaire, although Wang Wenfeng and they don't know the specific number, they must understand that it is in "100 million US dollars".

Zheng Xun hesitated for a moment and said: "Lin Yi, you are now an entrepreneurial star in the school, and after the official account of the Youth League Committee forwarded your financing news today, many people came to us to inquire about you." ”

"This time, it's not just the classmates who are joking about you, a bunch of people who don't know each other are running over to ask this and that, and I can't even be sure if they are from the school."

"Of course, a few of us won't talk about your affairs outside, but you come and go alone in the school every day, and you go out early and return late, do you have to pay attention to safety issues?"

He immediately added: "We don't mean anything else, and you are welcome to continue living in the dormitory." ”

"The three of us have been waiting for you until now, just to remind you that your identity is different now, so it's better to be careful."

Lao Zheng's attitude towards himself was still different, and Lin Yi sighed in his heart when he realized this.

In any case, what they said was to beware of other people's bad thoughts, this reminder came very timely, and Lin Yi himself hadn't realized it yet.

As the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, although Lin Yi knows that his net worth is empty for the time being, but robbers may not understand this.

A billionaire, if no one knows, it's just that, since everyone knows that he still lives in a student dormitory, it's really a bit out of place.

Lin Yi admitted their feelings, but it was too strange to bring a bodyguard in and out of the school, so after a little consideration, he said:

"I get it, I'll look for a house outside and move out as soon as possible. But anyway, I'm still from this dormitory, thank you, brother. ”

I haven't taken a few serious classes since college in my life, and if I move out of school, my short campus life will be over.

Fortunately, he doesn't worry about his graduation, as can be seen from the news of Wanli Travel reprinted on the school's official account, which is still a performance.

Lin Yi hugged each of them, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little sad, which reminded them all of them when Li Jianguo left at the end of the last semester.

Thinking of Li Jianguo, Lin Yi has not seen this old iron since he left South Korea, because he is busy with his second business, and Lin Yi is not the type to like chattering, the two have little contact, and they still learned from their roommates that he has enrolled in school.

"When the holidays come, when Jianguo returns to China, let's make an appointment to go crazy to roast wings and rub a supper."

Some places may not be remarkable, they are nothing more than carrying a youthful past, so there is always a special place in the memory.

The three of them all agreed, Wang Wenfeng hammered him on the chest, and said with a smile a long time ago:

"Don't forget each other."
