Chapter 257 The new stage in the investment world! (Wan
In the tenth month of golden autumn, the fragrance of osmanthus blooms.
The mid-afternoon sun shines warmly through the windows of the cars moving on the road.
Mr. Wen's first time in his life was a Rolls-Royce, and it was an extended version of the Phantom.
The feel, the workmanship, the interior, the experience...it's just a little bit worse than the Maybach 62 Zeppelin.
Along the way, Shen Nanpeng and Wen Liang chatted and laughed happily.
We chatted all over the place.
Not a single serious word.
Through Shen Nanpeng's arrangement, Wen Liang moved into the Ritz-Carlton on Financial Street.
We did not stay in hotels where we had invested a long time, such as Wangfu Peninsula, etc. We also did not arrange for Mr. Wen to stay at the Park Hyatt where we stayed last time. It can be said that we have considered it very carefully.
After sending Wen Liang to the hotel lobby, Shen Nanpensi said politely: "Mr. Wen has been tired from traveling. Please take a rest. In the evening, Mr. Zhang and I will serve as hosts for Mr. Wen."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Shen." Wen Liang responded with a smile.
There are dedicated personnel to handle all matters, so Wen Liang doesn't need to worry too much. Li Xia also checked into this hotel.
Later, through Lixia's coordination and arrangement, Wan An, Yuan Shiya, Lin Hong and others also checked into this hotel.
There was still some time before sunset, so Wen Liang was not idle and directly called a meeting.
Several team leaders participated.
Yuan Shiya reported first: "Before coming, we relied on Bolang's official website to publish a recruitment announcement based in Beijing. We have established contact with three headhunting companies in Beijing in the morning and have arranged interviews for tomorrow."
Then came Ma Wenhou: "We have completed negotiations with five universities: Peking University, Tsinghua University, Beihang University, Beijing Institute of Technology, and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. Tomorrow we will visit the relevant leaders of each school in turn."
Ma Wenhou is thirty-six years old.
Young and powerful.
I joined Bolang's strategy department a few months ago and am now considered a key member.
Bolang did not merge the two major projects of strategy and development because the scale was not too large, but worked separately.
The company's strategy department is responsible for strategic planning, industrial cooperation and other directions.
The enterprise development department is responsible for external investment, focusing on long-term value and other directions.
Cooperation with universities naturally falls on the head of the company's strategy department.
As for this investment planning, Wen Liang is only responsible for matchmaking, and more specific investment matters will be completed by the enterprise development department.
Everyone briefly reported on the progress of various affairs, and Wen Liang made arrangements: "Time is tight and the task is heavy. Thank you for your hard work, hurry up and get results."
"clear!"
"..."
After the meeting, Wen Liang directly ‘picked up’ one of the people.
Looking at the little girl in front of him, he said in a gentle tone: "Are you still used to it?"
A smile appeared on Zheng Qi's face and she answered seriously: "I'm quite used to it. Anyway, I'm only half an intern. I don't have to worry about many things. I just need to focus on 'doing the questions'."
Hearing this, Wen Liang still said kindly: "That's fine, pay more attention to your health when you go out."
He only took the time to care about this.
Seeing this, Zheng Qi was not surprised. She smiled and waved her hand: "Thank you, Mr. Wen, for your concern."
Wen Liang waved his hand without looking back.
Zheng Qi is the female student in the next class.
She was the one who confessed her love to Wen Liang in public at first, and later on she was the one who deceived someone into thinking about love.
However, after Wen Liang briefly chatted with her for the second time, this little girl finally regained her academic mind.
No longer struggle with those so-called "love cannot be achieved" self-movement.
Once again she showed her due academic level.
This girl participated in IMO (International Mathematical Olympiad Competition) in high school. Although she didn't win the championship, her level was really not bad.
As early as the first semester of my freshman year, I began to dislike the undergraduate mathematics courses that were too simple.
I finally finished my credits in my sophomore year, and I didn’t want to hang out with graduate students for the time being. I simply joined Bolang’s college student internship program after my junior year started.
After moving to the corporate development department, she specialized in building models for investment, which she called "problem solving."
Anyway, for Zheng Qi, building an investment model only requires changing the calculation method of a bunch of numbers. It is as simple as that.
Wen Liang originally chatted with Zheng Qi more because he didn't want to delay this possible future mathematician.
It’s okay now, I just went astray~
Taking advantage of the fact that Bolang was going to make a package investment plan this time, Wen Liang thought not to waste her talents and directly brought her over to work.
All the employees in an entire corporate development department combined could not count her.
It can only be said to be a blow to dimensionality reduction.
In short, Zheng Qi never gave Wen Liang any headache from the beginning to the end. Now that people want to gain experience through internships, it’s good to put them to the best use.
Mainly, this little girl is no longer in love.
Her rational thinking ability is really better than many, many people, including Wen Liang.
…………
In the evening, Zhang Sanshi and Shen Nanpeng served as hosts to Wen Liang and Liu Chiping and others who came in a hurry.
They were the only ones at the dinner table. Xu Xin was not in the capital and could not participate.
Zhang Sanshi and the others did not expand the dinner party.
Of course, the fact that Wen Liang brought a huge mobile office team to the capital could not be hidden from the eyes of interested people.
Obviously, Wen Liang needs a well-arranged appearance at the dinner, which cannot be left now.
After eating and drinking together, Wen Liang started the conversation with a smile: "It's been a long time since I saw you all, I miss you so much."
"This time I have to rely on a few big bosses to raise their hands. I hope you can show your respect."
Liu Chiping glanced at Wen Liang and said bluntly: "Mr. Wen, we are all old acquaintances. Keep it simple."
Seeing this, Wen Liang immediately said with a clear face: "I understand, I will drink as a penalty."
Zhang Sanshi said with a smile: "That's right."
"Hey, yes." Shen Nanpeng also said.
"..."
After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are over.
Wen Liang took the initiative to bring up the business and said very directly: "We plan to settle the matter related to the [massive value] platform with these two Zhihu companies first, and then plan to find a business partner."
Liu Chiping and the other three expressed their opinions at the same time: "No problem."
Seeing this, Wen Liang smiled and thanked: "Thank you very much."
"In addition, the mobile Internet is gaining momentum. I'm wondering if we can make some cooperative investments to help new Internet companies grow and let us all work together to make a fortune."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Chiping immediately expressed his support: "We at White Goose also have the same idea. Cooperation in many fields will benefit many parties."
Shen Nanpeng also expressed his agreement: "Mr. Wen's idea is good. Taking the lead through White Goose and Bolang can aggregate business, sort out the chaos in the industry, and avoid waste of resources."
Zhang Sanshi said from another perspective: "We don't have to compete for this first, but we can't miss the opportunity to focus on new demand."
Everyone quickly reached a consensus on the point of view.
Zhang Sanshi and Shen Nanpeng are investors, and what they do is value investing.
Liu Chiping also needs to complete White Goose’s pan-entertainment plan.
In their view, Wen Liang's proposal was profitable, so they hit it off immediately.
It’s just that they don’t know that Wen Liang is aiming for ecological dominance of enterprise-level mobile applications.
Bolang's internal investment plan, which was completed just this morning, covers a very wide range. Taking advantage of the fact that the application demand in the mobile Internet era has not fully exploded, we first gathered it into Bolang's territory through capital means.
Dominated the enterprise-level application ecology, and then used methods to attract individual developers to choose the [Star Sta] platform, and the two-phase development formed a scale.
As long as this step is achieved, after the Bolang mobile phone is released, no matter whether the application developers are willing or not, they will have to compile an additional version of the [Star Sta] platform package.
That forms a real established fact.
No one can stop the rise of domestic self-developed operating systems.
…………
…………
The next morning, Wen Liang officially started busy. He first led the team to visit Zhihu.
Subsequently, with the help of Shen Nanpeng, Bolang and Zhihu reached an investment framework.
Bolang got 10% of Zhihu's shares, with a post-investment valuation of 900 million yuan, and 10% of the shares were worth 90 million. Bolang invested 72 million in cash plus [massive value] platform's new column [cooperative marketing products] to invest in resources
.
Zhihu was able to settle on the [Massive Value] platform and improve its business model accordingly.
It plans to open user registration within the next three months and will no longer follow the current invitation-based registration system.
In the afternoon, Wen Liang went to visit Zitiao without stopping.
Zitiao, which no longer works in a residential building, is still small in scale, and the core team is very young and energetic. This is also a routine operation for Internet startups.
During the visit to Zitiao, Wen Liangcai learned that Zitiao has launched three products: headlines, jokes, and embarrassing pictures.
The scale is not large.
The current development stage is not ideal.
It seems that all the luck of Internet social products in 2012 was taken away by the development of Xiaocheng Book.
This time it was Zhang Sanshi and Shen Nanpeng who participated in the matchmaking.
Shen Nanpeng smiled and said in the middle: "Anonymous, you have to thank Mr. Wen for our chance to invest in your company. He gave us the direction."
Zhang Anonymous was really stunned for a moment, and then said: "Thank you, Mr. Wen."
I couldn’t help but mutter ‘no wonder’ in my heart.
Before Shen Nanpeng and Zhang Sanshi invested in Zitiao, Anonymous Zhang visited countless investors and promoted Zitiao many times, but no one paid any attention to him even after talking about it.
At that time, he thought that the top boss in the investment world had finally discovered the value of Zitiao, but he did not expect that there was such a story behind it.
Because of Shen Nanpeng's move, Bolang was able to obtain 18% of Zitiao's shares.
Interestingly, the current value of Zitiao is not as high as Zhihu.
The post-investment value of this 18% stake is only 108 million, of which 80 million is cash and 28 million is used as resources for Zitiao’s existing products to be launched on the [Massive Value] platform.
fair price.
Wen Liang didn't stay long. He didn't have any impressions of Zhang Anonymous himself.
He also did not deny that in his previous life, Anonymous Zhang had great business vision, but there were some actions that he really could not explain.
Obtaining the shares of Zitiao also gives you an opportunity to control it in the future.
Anyway, in general, Wen Liang cannot be said to be satisfied with these two investments, which have been delayed for more than two months.
Although the valuations of the two companies are lower than the expected estimates of Bolang's internal investment model, due to the participation of investors such as Sequoia, Hillhouse, Today, and White Goose, the valuations have been raised by one hand, and there is not much room for maneuver. .
Especially for Zhihu, the price has been raised too high, and the current post-money valuation is 900 million.
On the contrary, the price of word jump is indeed lower than expected.
Because Shen Nanpeng is not very optimistic about Zidiao's development model so far, the valuation has been raised so high purely because they invested and the [massive value] platform allowed them to see the possibilities.
………
Then at five o'clock in the afternoon.
Wen Liang, a newbie in the investment world and general manager of Bolang, held an investment dinner in Diaoyutai.
News quickly spread by word of mouth within specific circles.
First, a group of investors led by Shen Nanpeng and Zhang Sanshi came to support the event, including familiar faces such as Xu Xin.
Then Lei Jun, Wang Xing, Sohu Zhang, Sina Cao and other big names in the Internet industry came to support them. Among the familiar faces were Zhang Anonymous and Zhou Yuan.
The spread range is just right.
Baidu Li, a big boss in the Internet industry who doesn't like to socialize, still didn't come, nor did other less relevant bosses from the Beijing circle.
In short, Wen Liang's appearance in the capital as a newcomer in the investment community was neither high-profile nor high-profile.
At this stage, many people look down upon Mr. Wen who only relies on Bo Lang.
After all, in the experience of many people, short-lived things are not uncommon, and it is normal.
This investment dinner is certainly enjoyable.
Zhang Sanshi, Shen Nanpeng and Liu Chiping worked together to put up a show for Wen Liang, and it was hard not to enjoy them.
At the dinner, Wen Liang exchanged greetings with everyone and said with a smile: "Thank you to all the big guys for considering the massive value platform. We have decided to open the platform to people from today." -
