Chapter 463: The First Act of the Great Drama
At about 9:20 a.m. on April 30, the large conference room of the northern headquarters of Guocheng Takeaway was full of people.
Although the bidding for financing will start at 10 o'clock, everyone has been notified to arrive by 9:30 o'clock.
The conference room was already full of people at this time, and there were company administrative staff and two technicians busy preparing for the work, including the computer screen projection.
At this moment, there are Wei Yutong, Wang Yu, Fan Jie, Gao Hanwen sitting on one side of the conference table, and several assistants such as Guo Yuan, Song Qiuyun, and Lu Ying in the back row.
Opposite them sat Xiao Haiyang of IDG, Pan Guoqi of Sequoia Capital, Yuan Ziqian of Hillhouse Capital, and Zong Yongjian of Softbank, all of whom were familiar faces.
This time, two more people were added at the end, one of them, Pan Guoqi and Yuan Ziqian, also knew each other, it was Jiang Weilin's father, Jiang Fusheng, who was also a veteran rich man in the magic capital, and it was not uncommon for him to be familiar with each other.
But his sudden appearance made the four institutions that had participated in the first round of negotiations quite unhappy, especially Pan Guoqi of Sequoia Capital and Yuan Ziqian of Gaoling International, all of whom had a straight face.
"Mr. Wang, this first round of financing will suddenly add an unfamiliar institution, and there is no notice before, does this seem disrespectful to us?"
Pan Guoqi was the first to speak: "And it seems that you are not very professional!" ”
Wang Yu looked at Pan Guoqi's eyes, and smiled after a while: "Mr. Pan means that it is because of their joining. Don't you plan to cooperate with our fruit orange takeaway? ”
"You can't say that, there must be a rule for everything, especially for major business matters!"
Yuan Ziqian of Gaoling International interjected at this time: "If everyone doesn't follow the rules, they will be rejected by the circle!" ”
There is already a threat in these words.
Our venture capital institutions are a circle, you are always a cow, you have a personality, but you also have to have a degree, you really have to be hard, our investment circle can unite to exclude you.
hehe
Regarding Yuan Ziqian's implied threat, Wei Yutong's face changed, including Gao Hanwen, and he also looked at Wang Yu and Jiang Fusheng's participation, and he didn't know about this matter in advance.
But in the face of super potential stocks, is the discipline of investment institutions really so good?
Don't say that Wang Yu doesn't believe it, and they don't believe in these institutions themselves.
But you can't just say that, it's tantamount to offending the entire investment circle.
"The word rules is good, and I have always agreed with this statement, and there is an ancient saying in our country: there is no rule without a circle!"
Wang Yu's eyes narrowed as he spoke: "But how long did our last negotiation on the first round of financing of Guocheng Takeaway end?" The news that we were going to acquire Dianping.com spread, and our competitor Mituan began to secretly buy the equity of Dianping.com at a premium. Has anyone talked to me about the rules in this matter? ”
With that, there was silence in the conference room.
Not to mention the few institutions sitting opposite, even Wei Yutong and Gao Hanwen didn't expect that Wang Yu would directly stab this matter on such an occasion.
Although I didn't name names, I was pretty much there.
"Maybe Mituan Takeaway has a plan to acquire Dianping.com?"
Pan Guoqi spoke in silence: "Mr. Wang, you are a business wizard, but you can't deny that Mr. Wang of Mituan is also a business handsome man who is not inferior to you, otherwise how could the two companies occupy half of the country in the northern market?" ”
This explanation can be regarded as impeccable, just let you Wang Yu have ideas, people are also engaged in the takeaway industry, and naturally you can also see the importance of Dianping.com to takeaway companies, and it is reasonable to have an acquisition plan, why do you say that we have leaked trade secrets?
When they thought that Wang Yu would have nothing to say, even Gao Hanwen came out to play a round.
"Some time ago, you must know about the confrontation between Hong Kong stock and retail shareholders against institutions, right?"
Wang Yu opened his mouth when everyone thought that words were poor, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was shocking.
"This is clearly revealed in front of financial institutions around the world, and everyone has reached a unanimous conclusion, however."
Speaking of this, Wang Yu's eyes that were originally slightly squinted opened: "It is not a coincidence that a certain big guy thinks it is too much of a coincidence, it just so happened that I had a little holiday with this big guy some time ago, and this matter was also in a uproar in the business circle, and it was just reconciled by another big man in the middle. Hehe, this big guy insists that I did it, and he doesn't need any evidence! ”
Wang Yu suddenly had a smile on his face: "If he does a free heart certificate, I can't do it?" ”
The meeting room was silent!
Fortunately, the embarrassment was only a minute, and the conference room was connected to the video of the press conference site on the magic capital, and when it was put on the big screen, you could see a large press conference site, and there were about 300 people sitting below, nearly half of whom were media.
"This is the scene of the first generation of Guoke mobile phone press conference?"
IDG's Xiao Haiyang opened his mouth to ease the awkward atmosphere and led the topic to the online video.
He glanced at Wang Yu in surprise, because yesterday, that is, on the 29th, there was an overwhelming all-round advertising without dead ends, which promoted a mobile phone produced by Wang Yu's Guoke Electronic Technology.
The key is that the advertisement is there, and the name of the mobile phone also appears, but the mobile phone in the advertising screen is covered by a black silk cloth, and only the approximate shape can be seen.
This advertisement has also caused a lot of controversy in the market, part of which is that professionals think that Guoke Electronics is playing tricks, and this kind of advertising does not have any creativity.
Part of them are the people who eat melons, and under the deliberate guidance of the water army, they began to guess the appearance of the first generation of mobile phones, especially on the Internet, fermented overnight, and all kinds of gods guessed and laughed at many people's mouths.
"Mr. Wang invited us to the conference room so early, didn't he just invite us to watch the mobile phone release video meeting of Guoke Electronics?"
Pan Guoqi sat opposite, with no embarrassment on his face.
For him, what should be fought for in business interests must be fought for, and it doesn't matter if he loses a game in momentum, anyway, there is a back, and he will get it back.
He leaned back in the chair slightly, put his hands on his lower abdomen in front of him, and crossed his fingers: "Does Guoke Electronics also need financing, and Mr. Wang wants to ask us to see the growth of Guoke Electronics?" ”
Compared with Wang Yu's beating at the dinner party called the Fortune Forum a few days ago, Pan Guoqi, who was relieved, naturally had some inexplicable meaning in his words.
Wang Yu just smiled faintly: "Let's watch first, maybe there will be surprises?" ”
Just as Wang Yu finished speaking, the administration on the side closed the curtains of the conference room, and as the light dimmed, the portrait on the projection screen became clear, and after more than a minute, the time came to 9:30.
Accompanied by a burst of music, Qin Shiyu, who was wearing jeans, a white shirt, and board shoes, walked briskly to the front of the stage from the side.
"Hello everyone, I am Qin Shiyu, executive vice president of Guoke Electronic Technology."
This young and surprisingly beautiful girl stood in front of the stage in a very light and natural style, greeting more than 300 guests and media friends below.
There is no formal attire, no rigorous official language, it is a very casual state, as if it is chatting, Qin Shiyu started today's press conference.
In the time that Wang Yu couldn't see, Qin Shiyu rehearsed again and again, and I don't know how much effort it took to bring this "first" new product launch model of Wang Yu to today's meeting.
This also made the eyes of many news media present today shine.
Strange from the traditional, rigorous and dull various product launches, Qin Shiyu's performance made them feel that today's press conference was a little different, and they had an inexplicable premonition that there would be unexpected surprises today.
As the press conference progressed, the first surprise appeared.
When the dazzling mobile phone appearance of the first generation of Guoke appeared in front of everyone's eyes, there was a huge noise from the audience, many people stood up involuntarily, and the media attending the conference were even more excited.
It's not just the scene, because this press conference is also network synchronization, Sina, NetEase, Guoke Video, etc. have live broadcasts, and there are many netizens who see it!
There were also exclamations in the conference room of the northern headquarters of the Capital Guocheng Takeaway, and the appearance of the mobile phone of the first generation of Guoke really amazed them.
"Mr. Wang, if Guoke Electronic Technology needs financing, we Sequoia Capital are willing to lead the investment!"
"Mr. Wang, we are Gaoling International"
"Mr. Wang."
In the excitement, Wang Yu pressed down with both hands: "Please calm down, continue to look down, there are surprises!" ”
As soon as the voice fell, Qin Shiyu in the video had already begun to introduce the functions of this mobile phone.
The parameters of the mobile phone appeared on the huge projection screen of the venue, and these data attracted the exclamation of the guests from the audience, and there are many peers in it, they know the doorway, but is this parameter really achievable by domestic mobile phone manufacturers?
This shape design alone can win awards and get soft hands, and abandon the traditional buttons, and only retain the full-screen hand touch of a button......
Not to mention the smooth and smooth switching with the blessing of the software system, how did they do it?
The guests of several mobile phone manufacturers have felt their hearts beat faster, and they have a hunch that a new era of the mobile phone industry is coming, and if they do not keep up with the pace, they will be eliminated by the market!
Next is the most classic scene, Qin Shiyu showed a certain function of this mobile phone on the spot.
When the big screen projection of the venue turned on the Guoke I generation, when the APP of Guocheng Takeaway displayed on the boot screen began to operate, when the ten guests on the scene immediately began to use the Guoke I generation to open Guocheng Takeaway, the page began to show the stores in the Modu area and the alliance of Guocheng Takeaway.
Wang Yu's gaze was withdrawn from the projection screen, and he turned to face the other side of the conference table.
He raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and waited a full minute and a half before looking up at everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is now ten o'clock on April 30, 2009, and today's financing will officially begin.
Wang Yu tapped his finger on the table: "The financing equity we released this time is 15%. ”
