Chapter 272 750 million US dollars in financing, Xiao Ma's e-commerce dream
In front of the Zhaoming Academy.
There are two lush cycad trees, adding a bit of greenery to the town in late autumn.
Liu Dong and Chen Heyu walked into the restaurant together, as if they had stepped into an antique and elegant world.
The design style of the whole restaurant reveals strong Jiangnan water town elements, and the interior layout is exquisite and fine, integrating wood, stone, green tiles and other materials to create a simple and warm atmosphere.
"Crunch"!
Pulling open the ancient and elegant wooden door, more than a dozen Internet bigwigs in the private room looked at it together.
"Mr. Chen, please take a seat, the place is reserved for you."
Ma Teng raised his hand in greeting, holding a cigarette in his hand, and pointed to the first seat on the right.
Chen Heyu smiled, led Lei Jun, Zhang Nan, Pei Yi and others, and Shi Shiran sat down.
Brother Pony is the east tonight, and he will naturally be in the main position.
Chen Heyu sat at the guest of honor with a big grin, next to Li Hong, who pretended to be calm, and Zhang Chaoyang sat directly opposite, after all, he is an old-timer in the Internet industry, and there is still a row of faces.
Rebus sat firmly in the second position on the left-hand side, Yu Dong, the vice president of Huayao Mobile, was next to him, and the two usually scolded each other at the new product launch conference and Weibo, but at the moment they looked at each other and smiled, like a nobody.
In 2015, Rice Technology's global shipments surpassed Huayao and became the second largest mobile phone manufacturer after Sanxing and Pinghua.
Zhou Xiaoyu and Zhang Nan sat on the right side of Li Hong, one is an investment bank tycoon in charge of hundreds of billions of financial assets, and the other is the CEO of Future Technology, whose net worth and status easily crush others.
There was no objection to the seating arrangement.
Like Shen Peng of Hongshan Capital, he can only sit in the middle area, crowded with Liu Dong, Zhou Hongyi, Yao Jinbo, Ding Sanshi and others, Pei Yi and Chen Wei of Didi taxi, Shu Hua of the pilot, and Zhang Yiming of the comic sound, chatting with each other.
In addition, there are also the heads of Jinsha Venture Capital and Gaolin Capital.
"Compared to last year, it seems that there are a few fewer people."
Chen Heyu asked casually, and then took off his blazer, revealing a delicate and silky white shirt, and his well-proportioned figure was faintly visible.
Ma Teng didn't know whether he was intentional or unintentional, so he said casually: "Wang Xin and Huiwen have changed to a new track, and they won't touch the O2O field for the time being." β
The hearts of everyone present tightened, and only then did they remember that the seemingly harmless young man in front of him had defeated the berry ball with the momentum of ploughing.
A unicorn company with a valuation of more than 2 billion US dollars has completely become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kangaroo Flash.
After Wang Xin lost the company, he began to get involved in the shared financial industry with his right-hand man, and in the past six months, he has been prosperous again.
"Sharing? Finance? β
Chen Heyu read it silently, his face was a little weird, he didn't expect Wang Xin in this life to take a step and directly start an online loan.
What is the prospect of this business, no one knows better than him, in another two years, leaving a piece of chicken feathers in vain, if you are lucky, you may be able to go ashore, and if you are unlucky, you can only choose to go into exile.
"Mr. Chen, what should you drink?"
Mato asked with a smile.
On the table, there is red wine, rice wine, white wine, whiskey, green plum, and lychee wine, which can satisfy almost everyone's taste.
"Green plums."
Chen Heyu picked one.
The two lives of people did not make him like cigarettes and liquor, but the sweet and sour plum wine, which made him the most favorite.
"Then plum wine."
Ma Teng unscrewed a bottle with his own hands and poured it for him.
Yu Guang looked at Chen Heyu, who was talented and elegant, smiled with satisfaction, and then asked, "Is Mr. Chen married?" β
"What do you mean?"
Chen Heyu was stunned for a moment and raised his eyes to look over.
"Mr. Ma is trying to recruit a son-in-law?"
Zhang Chaoyang didn't think it was a big deal when he saw the excitement, and immediately added: "Heyu, you don't know yet, Mr. Ma has an eldest daughter, who is one year younger than you, has a good education, and looks beautiful......"
"Go, go!"
Ma Teng waved his hand and signaled Zhang Chaoyang to shut up.
"Mr. Ma, I'm sorry, I already have a fiancΓ©e."
Chen Heyu sneered and replied.
"It's okay."
Ma Teng said indifferently, and sighed secretly in his heart, "It's a pity", it is too difficult to find a second high-quality son-in-law like Chen Heyu.
When everyone was talking, the table was filled with dozens of exquisite dishes, and among the staggered dishes, bottles of wine were poured into the stomach, with Ma Teng, Liu Dong, and Lei Jun being the most violent, and their faces were already red, and the volume of their voices was unconsciously high.
Chen Heyu smiled secretly, these billionaires are no different from ordinary people when they drink too much, and they are all good at bragging.
"Rice can win the world's first place in three years!"
"If you smash 10 billion, I don't believe that microfrequency can't do it!"
"What is Taobao.com? It's just a grocery store that sells fakes, and I've never taken Ma Yun seriously in Jingdong. β
ββ¦β¦β
Yu Dong, who was on the side, rolled his eyes frequently, and Rebus's cowhide made him feel strongly uncomfortable.
"Relying on the exclusive authorization of the second generation of Moss for two years, I don't know what my surname is, and now everyone has authorization, back to the same starting line, who may die?"
Yu Dong poked and thought secretly, and smothered half a glass of rice wine in one gulp.
"Lao Yu, what are you drinking? Lei Jun, full of Boss Yu, business is business, and he is still a good friend in private. β
Ma Teng played haha, his ability to control the field was extremely strong, and his drinking skills were brought into full play.
Like Zhang Yiming and Pei Yi, the two have a difference in drinking, and after drinking two glasses of rice wine, they are already smoky, with a red face and humming a little song.
Chen Heyu and Lao Ma touched a glass and still sat in their positions steadily.
His amount of alcohol was purely supported by his perverted physique, and he kept pushing and changing his glass, until most of the people admitted defeat with a bitter smile, and then put down the wine glass.
Seeing Ma Teng's eyes, he bowed slightly, patted Lao Zhou and Pei Yi, and slowly walked into another tea room.
"Does Ma Yun want to chase the kangaroo flash?"
This is the question that Ma Teng is most concerned about, and as soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to ask before the teacup was raised.
"There's such a thing, but it's not negotiated yet."
Chen Heyu said lightly, leaving some room for Ma Teng's imagination.
Penguins want to complement the business sector of local life, and kangaroo flash delivery is an unavoidable topic, either invest or do it yourself.
In fact, Penguin does not have the ability and genes to engage in e-commerce and offline business at all, and after many previous attempts, they all ended in failure, which is also the reason why Lao Ma personally came forward to communicate.
"Give up the equity to the penguins, and I'll continue to give you five years of traffic entrance."
Ma Teng pondered for a moment and said slowly.
"That's all there is to it?"
Chen Heyu asked rhetorically, expressing disbelief.
From the other party's eyes, he saw a deeper level of expectation and ambition, in the past two years, BAT has been expanding aggressively, and Penguin's investment and layout in the e-commerce industry are no less than Ahri.
Last year, Ma Teng invested 215 million US dollars in Jingdong in exchange for about 15% of the equity and a 5% IPO subscription agreement.
With 500 million Chinese dollars, he invested in Pinxi and got 10% of the equity.
For 200 million Chinese dollars, it acquired a 15% stake in the "two-dimensional gathering place" Beer Miles.
"To tell you the truth, I was surprised by the speed of development, and I want to chase a financing fund and estimate it."
Ma Teng said boldly.
After a year of development, Pinxixi has more than 100 million registered users, more than 1 billion monthly GMV, and 1 million+ daily orders.
According to the evaluation of professional consulting institutions and venture capital companies, the overall valuation is about 1.2 billion US dollars.
Under the slogan of "consumption upgrading", the 9.9 free shipping merchants who were abandoned by Jingdong and Taobao were fully accepted by Pinxixi.
Chen Heyu knows very well that even if he doesn't interfere in the fight, Huang Zheng can still make the company the first scale of e-commerce.
There is a natural and inevitable factor behind this, there are a large number of low-income groups in China, which has created a low-end market of at least 5 trillion Chinese dollars, which can also be said to be a fake market.
Whoever can serve it will be able to eat this piece of fat.
In the previous life, when the revenue scale of Pinxi rushed to the third place in the e-commerce list, Jingdong and Taobao began to panic, and they launched their own low-cost shopping APP overnight.
For example, Taobao Special Edition, Jingxi Special Edition, etc.
"At a valuation of $1.5 billion, you can give Penguin another 10% stake."
Chen Heyu thought for a while and gave a reply.
"No problem, but Kangaroo Flash, I'm going to take another 10% stake."
Ma Teng thought for a moment and said.
"Up to 5%, I want to remain the largest shareholder."
Chen Heyu shook his head and rejected Lao Ma's proposal.
The shareholding structure of Kangaroo Flash is particularly fragmented, with Penguin currently the fourth largest shareholder, behind Gaosheng Ventures, and the third largest shareholder with another 5%.
The number of shares held is about the same as Ahri's, which is in line with his strategy of playing balance.
Ma Teng squinted his eyes, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he was a little hesitant in his heart, should he continue to invest?
Chen Heyu, this kid, obviously wants to step on two horses and eat all the benefits.
Then I thought about it, why don't you cast kangaroos?
Group buying and takeaway business, Penguin has not done it before, but one was killed by him, and the other was killed by Chen Heyu.
Judging from the ending, the final winner of this track is likely to be Kangaroo Flash.
Li Hong's Qiandu takeaway and glutinous rice net spent 20 billion yuan to get a quarter of the market, which can be called extremely wasteful.
He has some inside information, the management of Qiandu Takeaway has set up a third-party company outside, and cooperated with his subordinates to frantically arbitrage marketing expenses, until now, Li Hong is still in the dark.
Coupled with the imperfection of the risk control system, the entire platform is a bloodsucker with coupons and wool, and if this kind of project can be done, it can probably only be realized in a dream.
After a long silence, Ma Teng decided to agree.
"Happy cooperation, I have an additional condition, to set WeChat payment as the default payment method for users."
Ma Teng said with a smile.
"I can only guarantee that Weixin Pay and Fortune Pay enjoy the same priority treatment, after all, Future Technology also has a payment license"
Chen Heyu replied in a deep voice.
The implication is that if he doesn't jump out, it's good to compete with Weixin and Zhifubao, and he still wants to monopolize the payment business of kangaroos and berry groups, which is a fool's dream.
"Okay, okay then."
Ma Teng thought about it again, didn't force it, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly, he was afraid that it would be bad to force Chen Heyu again and let him completely fall into Ahri's camp.
When the time comes, he is not sure that he will be able to support a new company and fight the kangaroos head-on.
"The detailed negotiation affairs are in charge of Mr. Pei."
Chen Heyu said.
"Mr. Ma, take care of me."
Pei Yi is neither humble nor arrogant, although Ma Teng is worth hundreds of billions of dollars, but these are floating values, far less than the hard power of his third brother.
"It's good to be successful at a young age."
Ma Teng smiled slightly and praised it.
The person in charge of Penguin Capital on one side held Pei Yi's hand and began to communicate the content of the contract, the signing time and the equity change ceremony.
Kangaroo Flash 5% equity, worth 600 million US dollars; 10% equity of Pinxixi, worth 150 million US dollars.
For one meal, another 750 million US dollars came in, and although Chen Heyu was not short of funds, he still accepted it.
Sometimes, it takes a part of the benefits to be sacrificed in order to achieve greater gains.
The growth of Pinxi and Kangaroo Flash is inseparable from the traffic support of penguins, and only by hitchhiking can we win the market of takeaway and group buying business.
"It's not early, I have to attend the meeting of the sub-forum tomorrow, why don't you disperse first?"
Chen Heyu raised his hand and glanced at the time, and suggested with a smile.
"Lao Zhang also asked me to go to the bar with me, don't fool me with these excuses, go and inform you, and we will change the next one."
Ma Teng pursed his lips and exposed Chen Heyu's lies to his face.
"Zhang Chaoyang! It's his uncle's unreliability. β
Chen Heyu sneered, with an embarrassed smile on his face, and asked Pei Yi to ask Zhang Yiming, Zhang Nan and others.
In the wee hours of the morning, a large wave of middle-aged and elderly entrepreneurs, mixed with two young people, drove together to a nearby bar.
Zhang Chaoyang, who was still sleepy during the day, had bright eyes at the moment, and was obviously very energetic.
Walking into the private room, the luxurious decoration of more than 200 square meters is unusually spacious and transparent compared to more than a dozen people.
"Call a couple of girls in."
Zhang Chaoyang commanded the assistant in a low voice.
Sohu Entertainment has been established for eight or nine years, and it has not become a popular star, but it does not mean that there are no beautiful girls.
After a while, a row of girls in their twenties slowly walked in.
Yan Feihuan is thin, with a slender waist, snow-white and straight thighs exposed outside, and different dressing styles, about a dozen.
There is a royal sister style, a loli style, and an intellectual style......
"Ahem! The impact is not very good, right? β
Rebus said reservedly.
"Old Lei, what do you want? I asked the girl to come in, just to help everyone pour wine and order some songs, but I didn't expect ......"
Zhang Chaoyang looked like he had been wronged.
Chen Heyu was amused and laughed, until when he saw a familiar face, his smile instantly retracted.
This girl, the second time they met, he finally remembered who it was!
