Wang Kaige's condition made both Su Wang and Chen Binghao stunned, and then they had different reactions.
In Chen Binghao's view, Wang Kaige's move showed that he was very confident in Su Wang's group buying website and recognized Su Wang's group buying website so much that he even went so far as to acquire an additional 5% of Kaixin.com's shares.
Of course, Chen Binghao will not feel sour in his heart. Wang Kaige is the head of Carlyle Investment Bank, and he must be responsible to the board of directors and investors for every move he makes. He dared to take 5% more shares of Kaixin.com out of respect for Kaixin.
Network recognition.
Investment institutions have risk prevention regulations when investing in a company. Generally speaking, they will not hold more than 30% of the company's shares. For companies that are at the forefront and are chased by investors, they will not hold more than 40% at most.
Only when you encounter something that you are particularly optimistic about, you will invest heavily to acquire shares. After all, becoming a major shareholder means taking more risks, and it will also reduce the enthusiasm of company executives.
It is impossible for Wang Kaige to make fun of Carlyle investors' money. This move just shows his trust in Kaixin.com. Of course, from Chen Binghao's perspective, he does not want Su Wang to sell his shares to Carlyle Investment Bank.
Su Wang had a surprised expression on his face. Wang Kaige's conditions were indeed a bit beyond his expectation. Although Su Wang had confidence in his own Meituan.com, that would only be after smartphones begin to appear next year.
Meituan only has a few hundred thousand users. Logically speaking, such a small company cannot catch Wang Kaige's attention.
Wang Kaige wanted to invest in Meituan, probably because he was betting more on himself. Of course, Su Wang would not be confident that Wang Kaige simply believed in himself, and the other party must have made it before that.
We have already conducted an investigation into Meituan.
"Mr. Su, I have studied Meituan's operating model, and I have also discussed it with Wang Xing. Both of us feel that Meituan has a promising future. Of course, the more important reason is because you are at the helm, Mr. Su.
"
Wang Kaige had a frank look on his face. Su Wang smiled modestly when he heard the other party's praise.
"If my guess is correct, Mr. Su transferred the shares of Kaixin.com because the development model of Meituan requires massive capital investment. Burning money to seize the market is simple and crude, but it is precisely the most effective way to seize the market.
Practical and most effective.”
The other party mentioned this, so Su Wang couldn't avoid answering, and immediately said: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for trusting me. Indeed, Meituan's model is to burn money, and spend huge amounts of money to win the group buying website."
Market share to determine dominance.”
"Su Wang, there seem to be few powerful group buying websites in the group buying industry now. There is no need to use this model at all. With your current network resources and the promotion of our Kaixin.com and Fanfou.com, the development of Meituan has not
It won’t be much slower than your current situation.”
Chen Binghao spoke. This was his doubt. At this time, Koubei.com was half dead and Dianping.com was also developing slowly. Meituan could completely kill these two companies by relying on the strong publicity advantages of Kaixin.com and Fanfou.com.
"Because I want to set an entry barrier for group buying websites."
Su Wang smiled and faced Chen Binghao and Wang Kaige without concealing his purpose of doing so.
In addition to fighting for users, the reason why Su Wang spends so much money is to set an entry threshold for group buying websites. Why is He Ming's Huituan.com not popular on campus? Isn't it because students are already used to Meituan?
Subsidy model?
There is no competition from group buying websites now, but in 2011 and 2012, group buying websites will usher in a war of hundreds of groups, but most of these websites are for ticketing purposes.
It’s just that some people see that group buying websites happen to be an industry that is currently sought after by capital. They rent an office one by one, design a website, and it is considered a group buying website, and then they wait for their luck and capital to invest.
This situation is the same as when shared bicycles became popular, hundreds of shared bicycle companies appeared all over the country. There is almost one shared bicycle company in every city, or even several shared bicycle companies in one city.
Su Wang didn't want to wait until later to go through a hundred regiment battles, so he directly used this simple and crude method to get consumers used to it. In this way, if other people want to enter the group purchase website, they will have to consider whether they have burned so much.
This principle is actually the same as the gambling tables in the casino. Take Texas Hold'em poker as an example. Different gambling tables have different requirements for the ante. The smaller the ante, the more people play, because everyone can get this small amount of chips.
But at a gambling table with a large ante, there are fewer people at the table. Without the financial resources, they would not dare to come.
Chen Binghao and Wang Kaige are both smart people. With Su Wang's simple explanation, they roughly understood what Su Wang meant.
After some discussions, Su Wang, Chen Binghao and Wang Kaige reached an agreement.
Before financing, Kaixin.com’s shareholding structure was: Su Wang 37.5%, Carlyle Investment Bank 21%, Chen Binghao 41.5%. After financing, Su Wang’s shares were 18.5%, Chen Binghao 22.5%, Carlyle Investment Bank 13%, and other shares
It will be divided by other investment institutions.
Of course, if you add in the 5% of shares transferred by Su Wang, then Su Wang’s shares will remain at 13.5%, while Carlyle Investment Bank’s is 18%. Su Wang and Carlyle Investment Bank’s shares in Kaixin.com have been exchanged.
Lei Investment Bank became the second largest shareholder of Kaixin.com, and Su Wang became the third largest shareholder.
At the same time, Carlyle Investment Bank has priority in Meituan’s first round of financing!
An interesting thing is that Su Wang noticed that the fourth largest shareholder of Kaixin.com after financing was none other than Alibaba. Ali also joined in this round of financing and acquired Kaixin.com for 540 million yuan.
of 3% shares.
"Lao Ma still doesn't give up on socializing."
Su Wang understood the purpose of Ali’s investment in Kaixin.com, which was to enter social networking. In the previous life, when Ali and Tencent were fighting in various fields, what Ali wanted to shake most was Tencent’s social status. He didn’t know how many social products he invested in, but in the end
All failed.
Kaixin.com is a social networking site, and it is currently very popular in China. Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that Lao Ma will invest in Kaixin.com. Su Wang even believes that if it were not for Alibaba at this time, it would not have reached the level of
In a few years, if it is so awesome, it may acquire a large number of shares of Kaixin.com at a premium.
After getting the financing, Su Wang was relieved. However, it would take at least a month to complete all the procedures for such a large amount of financing, so he was not in a hurry.
After leaving Kaixin.com, Su Wang went to No. 8 Art Factory. This art factory brings together many film and television companies. It is a famous gathering place for people in the film and television circles in Beijing. Many stars can often be seen coming in and out, so No. 8 Art Factory
There are many paparazzi lurking at the door.
When Su Wang took a taxi and arrived at the factory gate, the security guard guarding the door glanced over. Because there were many celebrities coming and going, the security of the art factory was still very strict. There were no passes or companies in the factory.
I called security to inform them that they couldn't go in.
But Su Wang naturally didn't have this problem. As soon as he arrived at the factory gate, Wang Yifan and two young men, a man and a woman, were already waiting there.
"Mr. Su!"
When Wang Yifan saw Su Wang getting out of the taxi, he immediately greeted him. However, the two young men and women behind him were stunned for a moment, with obvious surprise in their eyes.
Both of them were Wang Yifan's subordinates during the storm. This time, when Wang Yifan resigned and changed jobs, he also brought these two people over.
Of course, there is no complete loyalty in the workplace. These two people will change jobs. In addition to the fact that they are Wang Yifan's cronies and if Wang Yifan leaves, they will be suppressed by the new leader if they stay in Baofeng, there is another reason because Wang Yifan told them that the new company
All the big bosses have extraordinary strength and background.
Just half an hour later, Mr. Wang informed them that the company's big boss was coming. The two of them were filled with excitement. They were also imagining the scene where the big boss would appear and guessing whether the big boss would come in a Rolls-Royce or a Maybach.
These two cars are the favorite and most commonly used cars by big bosses in China.
But they never thought that the big boss, who was almost not a common man in the world according to Mr. Wang, actually came here by taxi. It didn't matter if he took a taxi. He was still so young and his face was so tender.
A college student.
Is this the big boss behind their company?
"Mr. Su, let me introduce you. This is Zhou Min and this is Qian Hao. They are my employees at Baofeng. They came here with me this time."
Wang Yifan didn't care about the inner fluctuations of his two subordinates, and didn't pay attention at all. He just introduced their identities, and then led Su Wang towards the factory.
This factory is one of those that was built in the 1960s, but it has long been abandoned. The developer has renovated and designed it, turning it into a literary and artistic old factory, and recruiting companies from the literary and artistic industry to move in.
"Mr. Su, there are a total of forty-six companies here, including eight influential film and television companies, and many companies related to the film and television industry. Our company is located here."
Wang Yifan led Su Wang and introduced the factory area as he walked, and finally came to a two-story red brick factory building.
Su Wang didn't have much objection to Wang Yifan's choice of this place as the company's headquarters, because he knew very well that this was just a temporary headquarters, and when the video platform grew bigger, it would definitely have to move out.
In the early days, the working atmosphere in this place was quite good.
"Mr. Su, this is our company's R&D department, which conducts platform research and development. This is our company's own filming department. This time the new program "Run" is recorded by them. It just so happens that the star candidates are being determined today. Why don't you, Mr. Su?
Just stay and take a look.”
"OK."
Su Wang will naturally pay attention to the casting of Running Bar. This program is far more popular than The Voice. In addition to the good design of the game sessions, it also has something to do with the celebrity members.
