Chapter 460 The capital is cool in autumn, and there are lots of transactions
On the way to the capital on his own plane, Wen Liang thought about the vacation that had passed by in a flash, his lower lip stretched upwards and pursed, and after a while he even made a tsk-tsk sound.
If Su Jianlin hadn't deliberately whispered that sentence before getting off the car in the morning, this short vacation would have been perfect.
Su Jian's observations about Wen Liang are basically in line with Wen Liang's true private thoughts.
He hopes to live a carefree life like ordinary people.
You don't have to run around for life like ordinary people, you just need to eat and play wherever you go, be idle or even idle, and chat and brag when you meet talkative strangers.
Probably called the so-called ordinary is true.
However, Wen Liang's personal opinion is to relax or even let go, to get away from the ever-complicated situation and change the mood.
No one likes to fight all the time.
At least Wen Liang is not happy.
Unfortunately, Wen Liang is no longer an ordinary person.
His every move, word and deed can affect the livelihood of an industry or even a large field. If he accidentally sneezes, there will be bones under his feet.
So he fell into an inexplicable state of life.
He already has the success, fame, money and fortune that ordinary people pursue, but if he wants to be like ordinary people, it becomes more complicated.
He is so famous that he is easily recognized wherever he goes, and he can relax a bit.
Unexpectedly, Su Jian was quite serious. He took a different approach and found a well-known but far away 5A-level scenic spot. For five days and six nights, no one knew what he was doing.
Bragging every day.
It feels so good.
Sometimes he would make some dirty jokes with people like the boatman, secretly thinking that Hei Sujian had no breasts and could not even feed his children.
Su Jian didn't care at all about this, let alone feel uncomfortable about it.
Because it’s really hard to have anything that you don’t have, but she has it, and the portion is huge.
between CDs.
It will be longer when I have another baby in the future.
In short, everything was perfect, if Su Jian hadn't deliberately flirted with that sentence, which almost made Wen Liang's thighs swell...
Of course, Wen Liang could also abandon his official duties and stay in Jiangxia.
But Su Jian has already done the first grade of junior high school, so he will definitely be able to do the fifteenth grade.
Wen Liang sighed softly and murmured in his heart, as expected, it is easy to get upset when he can't get it...
Of course, he could also see what Su Jian had done to keep him from leaving without saying a word.
…………
…………
After more than two hours of flight, the plane landed at Capital International Airport.
On the first working day after the long vacation, the airport was very busy to the naked eye. Through the portholes, you could see many faces on the waiting planes that couldn't smile.
The autumn wind in the capital stirred up the dust and trivial debris on the ground, making the autumn feel cool.
Wen Liang straightened his clothes, walked out of the cabin door and got off the plane along the gangway, and then got into the ordinary Mercedes-Benz that he had arrived at the airport in advance and had been waiting for a long time.
Wan An, who was driving, slowly increased his speed, and Li Xia, who was sitting in the passenger seat, briefly reported some information.
Then, Wen Liang's private external phone rang in his pocket.
"Mr. Wen, hello, Mr. Wen, have you arrived in the capital?" A familiar voice came from the receiver, it was Zhang Sanshi.
Wen Liang seemed to smile and said, "What a coincidence, I just got off the plane."
"Let's have a light meal together at noon." Zhang Sanshi said warmly, "It happens that pony is also in the capital."
Wen Liang was a little surprised: "It's rare that Chairman Ma is so interested in running so far."
"Mr. Wen is really good at joking." Zhang Sanshi was speechless, "pony came to the capital because of you. Let's not talk nonsense between us. How long will it take to get to the Four Seasons Hotel?"
Wen Liang glanced at Li Xia, she made a gesture, and replied: "About forty minutes."
"..."
Zhang Sanshi represented several parties, so after this call, Wen Liang only answered one more call, and it was from Lao Miaotou.
He didn't say much, just said hello.
He didn't even mention anything like asking Wen Liang to go to his house quickly for dinner.
Wen Liang came to the capital again this time, and everyone from all sides was in high spirits. Everyone knew that his visit meant "struggle" to many people!
Things don't go unnoticed just because the focus temporarily shifts slightly.
Goldman Sachs, Liu Baye, our boss, bosses and even various people who have had to confront each other due to various factors, as well as interest alliances such as Sequoia, Hillhouse, Today, White Goose and even China Mobile, as well as Lao Miaotou, and
It is impossible for Mr. Ping to come forward and express his position...
Previously, the launch of Xinghai's new products in batches and regions, as well as the collision with Apple's new products, as well as the promotion of the largest ecosystem of mobile phones, tablets, and computers, all involved Wen Liang's greatest energy. He did not
Fatan took action to resolve the dispute that had arisen.
Now that Wen Liang has made initial arrangements for the group's business and has arrived in the capital, collision is naturally inevitable!
There is no way, essentially, everyone is fighting for their own interests.
Everyone has their own position.
For example, Mr. Ben has just joined the system. As a completely new figure, he thinks that he has only done what the "predecessors" who are new like him have done, and he feels that he has already stopped under pressure from all parties.
, what is he afraid of?
For example, the boss feels that the power represented by Wen Liang is using Wen Liang to challenge their control, which should not be allowed.
To be honest, Wen Liang thought those things were too far away from him.
When he came to the capital, he first wanted to be a bolang, and to be a 130,000 bolang people.
If he doesn't argue, more than half of the 130,000 families will collapse, at least 130,000 mouths will go hungry, and at least tens of millions of people will be affected, including but not limited to more than 100 people in more than 100 of the country's top universities.
Thousands of energetic college students, masters, doctors, etc.
In fact... everything is in competition.
Specific to human beings, they have been fighting since before they were born, and they have to fight with skill. They cannot swim to the front, nor can they swim to the back.
In short, nothing can be avoided.
As for Zhang Sanshi and the others, it was Wen Liang who took the initiative to contact him. He mainly wanted to meet and discuss the listing of Bolang Orange. Maperli probably got involved because of other matters. Wen Liang really didn't know the details. He was also surprised by Xiao Ma.
Brother arrived in Beijing.
But Wen Liang can guess the general direction.
It's profitable anyway.
…………
At early 12 noon, Wen Liang arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel located next to Liangma Bridge on the East Third Ring Road.
To be honest, the location here is pretty good. It's just off the airport expressway to the East Third Ring Road. It's almost the entire expressway. It's not far from the city center and there's also the embassy district nearby, which is very convenient.
For example, Wen Liang arrived fifteen minutes earlier than he told Zhang Sanshi.
"Mr. Wen, long time no see."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"Hello, Mr. Wen."
"Mr. Ma is doing well lately."
"Hello, Mr. Shen."
"Good morning, Mr. Wen, it's been a hard journey."
"Long time no see, Mr. Liu."
"Good afternoon, Mr. Wen."
"..."
As soon as Wen Liang got off the car, he was met by Zhang Sanshi, Shen Nanpeng, Ma Perli, and Liu Chiping. After the inevitable greetings, the group walked into the reserved Chinese dining room of the hotel.
A table of dishes has already been ordered.
It is clear that among this circle, only Wen Liang occasionally stays at the Four Seasons Hotel when he comes to the capital, as if they are the hosts.
All the energy for small talk had been exhausted just now. When the table was served, everyone stopped talking nonsense and directly picked up the wine glasses: "Drink some first to moisten your throat."
"Mr. Wen has worked hard all the way and must be thirsty."
"Come on, let's go together."
"Done."
"This wine is okay."
"I think it's not that interesting. You guys are not that interesting. Can you drink it a few times and get some from the wine cellar?"
"Mr. Wen, you are very naughty."
"That's slander. I didn't deal with it when you went to Yangcheng. You just took the wine stolen by my fiancée, so you just had fun."
"..."
We are all old acquaintances, and we have stopped talking so much. Come up and have a few sips before talking.
Not too many.
There is no longer any need to hold it, and there is no need to show ‘emotion’ by drinking too much.
After eating and drinking for a while, Wen Liang put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and took the initiative to bring up the matter: "I don't know what you have to do, but let me talk about what everyone is concerned about first, Bolang Orange is on the market."
"After the B round of financing, Bolang Xiaocheng has developed well. There were originally plans for a C round and then a Pre-IPO round. However, under the current situation, everyone wants to go public as soon as possible, skip the C round, and go directly to the Pre-IPO round."
"Valuation aside, everyone should have an idea about the proportion of shares released this time. In this way, the shares will be expanded to 2 billion shares."
This last sentence made everyone here's eyes light up. At this juncture, expanding shares so much is a benefit to investors.
The current market value of Bolang Xiaocheng is still very eye-catching, the revenue capacity of Xiaocheng Shu has been increasing year after year, and Xiaochengshu is also developing well overseas.
Although it has not expanded to a sufficient scale, it cannot even compare with the newbie Range, let alone Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, but it still occupies a very good market share. The total number of users has already approached 300 million. According to this
If the situation continues, we will soon be able to compete with Twitter.
If Range's positioning hadn't mainly overlapped with YouTube, it would have been able to compete with Twitter, which has 600 million to 700 million users, for the top spot in terms of global microblog activity.
Twitter currently has more than 200 million monthly active users, and around 100 million daily active users.
Range is not bad either, with monthly active users of 200 million and daily active users of around 100 million.
Speaking of which, after the self-made range was traded away in a complicated form, although the control was still in Bolang's hands, no one in the world could find out its relationship with Bolang.
So everyone felt that with Bo Lang's aggressiveness, xiaochengshu and range would definitely have a fight.
In short, back to Bolang Xiaocheng, its market valuation is very impressive, and with Bolang's backing, if you want to join the "coin-sharing team", it depends on whether Bolang takes it or not.
Obviously, Wen Liang has no intention of expanding the number of investors.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Sanshi spoke first: "After multiple rounds of internal analysis and evaluation, we have initially determined a valuation area. We believe that a pre-money valuation of 120 billion is more reasonable. Xiaochengshu does not have a market advantage overseas for the time being.
"
"Investment, investment, investment is for future value, Mr. Zhang, we are so familiar with each other, so let's stop arguing." Wen Liang made a gesture.
"I have no problem." Shen Nanpeng was the first to express his opinion.
Mapperli looked at Liu Chiping, who said helplessly: "Of course we have no problem. Mr. Xu is handling business overseas today and can't make it. Please let me act as your agent and my opinion will prevail."
The process for this round of financing is simpler.
The pre-money valuation of 150 billion is calculated based on the current total share capital of 10 billion shares, which is 15 yuan per share. If the shares are expanded by 2 billion shares, that is, 30 billion will be raised, and the post-money valuation will be 180 billion.
The share ratio is 5% held by Bolang Group, and the rest is jointly held by these companies. The amount is still uncertain. It will be true after the IPO, when Bolang Group's share should be less than 50%.
In fact, this valuation is still not too high.
After all, everyone thinks that xiaochengshu will rise further sooner or later, and there is great hope to compete with Facebook, which has been criticized for advertising, because xiaochengshu and xiaochengshu also focus on advertising but are not disliked by users.
Facebook’s recent market capitalization has fluctuated around US$130 billion.
After being manipulated by Bolang, Facebook's stock price has become stronger.
In fact, the market value of Bolang Xiaocheng alone is also expected to be comparable to that of another company, that is, White Goose, which has a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars.
Although White Goose's QQ international version is developing well under the promotion of Bolang and has further expanded its international market share, it is not in the same dimension as xiaochengshu's strong expansion backed by Bolang.
In other words, Bolang Xiaocheng’s market valuation growth after Series B mainly comes from xiaochengshu!
Originally, Zhou Hongming, CEO of Bolang Xiaocheng, could negotiate such a specific financing matter, but if it was not possible, it would be fine for one of Xindai, Tang Pu, and Chen Jiaxin to take action.
However, Wen Liang is not the kind of person who burns bridges across rivers, and there is no need to do it deliberately. We just talk when we meet. If we don't meet, we don't have any opinions on the phone.
Zhang Sanshi and others here are all sensible people, and they have a clear understanding of what Wen Liang is facing.
Knowing what kind of people are currently competing with Wen Liang, they are almost beyond the scope of their help.
In any case, the 30 billion funds obtained from financing also allowed Bolang to further increase its redundant reserve of funds.
I have to say, these capital institutions backed by overseas old money are really rich.
Several companies can come up with tens of billions of funds at once.
Of course, this can only happen if the return on investment of Bolang Xiaocheng is very impressive. Everyone estimates that the market value of Bolang Xiaocheng is around 300 billion.
As for why so much should be vacated, of course it is to leave room for the IPO.
…………
After we agreed on this simple matter that Wen Liang took the initiative to bring up, the topic suddenly started to change.
Zhang Sanshi and others expressed some concern for Wen Liang's trip to the capital.
"Presumably we don't need to ask Mr. Wen to know that Lao Liu has gotten involved again, mainly with people from Goldman Sachs Asia. It's not clear what he wants to do."
"Anyway, there are still a lot of people in the shopping mall, and Oceanwide also has some ideas. They have lost the fat in their mouths..."
"I heard this is a 'new' thing. Oceanwide has set its sights on some land parcels in Jiangxia. They all changed hands under the name of Starry Sky Semiconductor some time ago. It is said that Boss Lu is very unhappy..."
"Boss Lu is a better person than Lao Liu. He is cautious, makes friends, and spends a lot of money. Twenty years ago, he would have to see whether Lao Liu would give him a shoe if he picked up Lao Liu's shoes. Ten years ago, it was 50-50, but now...
…It’s hard to say.”
"Boss Lu is still a bit overweight. Minsheng Bank is almost his cash machine. Director Wang of Wanda, Mr. Sun of Sunac, and Mr. Duan of Sitong are all very proud of him."
"Ma Ali, who had always been protective of himself before, may have to stand up. After all, it was Goldman Sachs who really made Alibaba's fortune. At that time, it held 50% of the shares. The most recent one was that in June this year, Goldman Sachs participated in Alibaba's US$8 billion syndicated loan.
The share is US$500 million..."
Zhang Sanshi's concern is reflected in information exchange.
At most, Wen Liang had heard a little about these news, but he knew a lot about the things behind it. Lao Liu, the eighth master, was Goldman Sachs' best lackey to acquire domestic state-owned assets, and he would not be abandoned so easily.
Boss Lu values friendship very much. Like many people, he believes in one sentence:
When the money is used up, the friendship will be exhausted.
Since the beginning of the last century, Oceanwide's real estate business has always been successful in various places, frequently acquiring core and popular land parcels, and it feels like it is effortless.
Oceanwide has previously acquired popular land parcels in Jiangxia many times, and was once the dominant player in Hubei and Jiangxia.
Therefore, he is not happy that Bolang Group holds almost all the popular land that can be developed in Jiangxia. It is reasonable. After using the tool of friendship for a long time, it will deteriorate.
The land held by Star Semiconductor should be viewed in two parts. First, as an industrial high-tech company, it is the target of local wooing and even has a land share. Second, the local government and Star Semiconductor are "like-minded", and the local government is
Active investment behavior.
So what kind of friendship can be greater than the large number of people in Jiangxia who want to move their butts and sit on a higher chair?
To be honest, compared to Lao Liu, Wen Liang does have a higher regard for Boss Lu, and his friendship is stronger.
Wen Liang listened carefully to everyone's exchange of information, and finally said nonchalantly: "None of this matters."
What he means is that he doesn't take these people seriously, he looks behind them.
So Zhang Sanshi and the others didn't say anything more and happily changed the topic.
Afterwards, Mapperly took the initiative to talk about a business matter: "What does Mr. Wen think of the online ride-hailing business?"
"This..." Wen Liang pondered for a moment, "Let's make another round. I think this business plate is not big and we can handle it."
Zhang Sanshi quickly reached out to stop him: "Don't worry, let's talk together."
Wen Liang didn't hesitate much and quickly came up with a plan: "Integrate our map business with Mr. Ma's map business into a new map to provide better basic support for online ride-hailing, and then burn money to grab the market. Quickly
If you can merge and acquire, just merge, if not, just compete, anyway, it’s not Ali’s business.”
"Let's arrange for the team to discuss more specific matters."
Mapperli said cheerfully: "With Bolang joining us and burning money, it won't be a big problem."
"Director Ma is bullying our new company, right?" Wen Liang said with his lips curled up on purpose.
Mapelly: “…”
Blanch!
Both Didi and Kuaidi have just started to develop, and they are extremely small compared to Bolang. Bai Goose, who is an investor in Didi, naturally has ideas. Now Wen Liang said, okay, nothing happened.
Mapperli is still willing to do anything that is profitable.
Moreover, since they are allies of interest, Maperli will not be stingy if he finds something for Ali to do.
