When he arrived at the headquarters of Kaixin.com again, Su Wang suddenly felt that things were different and people were different.
When Kaixin.com was first established, it was not very large, just an office building of about a hundred square meters, and there was not even a sign in the lobby on the first floor of the office building.
But now, as soon as I step into the office building, there is a sign of Kaixin.com on the wall of the office building. Kaixin.com's office area has also been expanded several times, and the entire floor has been directly contracted.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Chen's office is over there. You can go directly there. I will take these two friends to meet with colleagues from our project department."
"good."
Su Wang nodded. He came here to meet the person in charge of venture capital, while Zhou Peng and Yang Lin came to Kaixin.com to discuss specific promotion matters with Kaixin.com. Kaixin.com has a dedicated project department for such external cooperation matters.
.
Although the office area of Kaixin.com has become larger, Chen Binghao's office has not changed. Su Wang walked to the door and knocked on the door. When he heard Chen Binghao's voice calling to come in, he opened the door.
Chen Binghao's office has a small reception room sofa. Chen Binghao is sitting on this sofa at the moment, and on the sofa opposite him sits a young man in his thirties with gold-rimmed glasses.
"Su Wang is here. Come, let me introduce you to each other. This is Mr. Wang Kaige, the head of China from Carlyle Investment Bank. Mr. Wang, this is my partner and also from our Kaixin.com
Co-founder Su Wang."
After hearing Chen Binghao's introduction, both Su Wang and Wang Kaige showed surprise on their faces. Su Wang was surprised that the person in charge of Carlyle Investment Bank in China was so young. You must know that Carlyle Investment Bank is not a small company.
Investment banks are well-known all over the world. To be able to achieve the position of a person in charge of China, Mr. Wang's strength is extraordinary.
Compared with Su Wang's surprise at Wang Kaige, Wang Kaige was even more shocked at Su Wang's identity. He had already learned about the co-founder of Kaixin.com from Chen Binghao, and this time Chen Binghao also
I told him that the co-founder would come over, so we had today’s meeting and interview.
Originally, with the power of Carlyle Capital controlled by Wang Kaige, it was not that difficult to investigate the identity of the other co-founder of Kaixin.com, but Wang Kaige did not do so because of the current situation of Kaixin.com.
The equity is very clear and there is no need to add any unnecessary fuss.
"Mr. Su is really young and beyond my expectation." Wang Kaige shook hands with Su Wang, not hiding his shock.
"Mr. Wang, despite Su Wang's young age, many of our Kaixin.com's development strategies were proposed by him, including the currently popular Happy Farm game, which are all Su Wang's ideas and plans."
Chen Binghao was afraid that Wang Kaige would underestimate Su Wang, so he specifically clicked this sentence. When Wang Kaige heard this, his heart trembled, and his previous contempt and doubts about Su Wang were completely eliminated.
To be honest, just before Chen Binghao said this, Wang Kaige was still guessing about Su Wang's situation. He even guessed that Su Wang might be a child of a certain family, and this family stood behind Kaixin.com. This kind of situation is common in every country in the country.
Large companies are not uncommon.
Wang Kaige is very optimistic about the prospects of Kaixin.com and even made a special analysis. He also admires the planners of Kaixin Farm. The creativity of this game is really awesome.
So when he first came to Kaixin.com, he proposed to meet the game team of Kaixin Farm. However, Chen Binghao smiled mysteriously at him and said that it was not time yet. At that time, he did not understand what Chen Binghao meant.
, Chen Binghao was also worried that he would poach people.
"Su Wang is still in high school, so when you made the request, Mr. Wang, Su Wang couldn't come to the capital due to coursework, so the meeting can only be postponed until now."
Wang Kaige has nothing to say. You must know that when he got his PhD in computer science from MIT at the age of 26, he was already called a genius. Later, after joining Carlyle, he gave the company investment in Ctrip.com.
With his suggestion, this investment allowed the company to obtain a return of more than ten times. This was an investment that he was proud of, and it was also one of the reasons why he was able to become the person in charge of China.
But the person in front of me is still a high school student, probably not yet officially an adult. At this age, he owns half of the shares of Kaixin.com. According to his valuation of Kaixin.com, he is equivalent to becoming a billionaire.
To be honest, although he is the head of Carlyle's China region and can mobilize more than one billion in capital, his personal net worth is only over one billion.
In his thirties, with a net worth of hundreds of millions, Wang Kaige was still very satisfied with himself, but compared with the man in front of him, Wang Kaige suddenly felt the society's deep malice toward him.
"Mr. Chen, Su...Mr. Su, since you two are here, we will have a formal meeting this time about whether you are willing to accept the valuation and investment plan provided by our company."
After sorting out his mood, Wang Kaige began to enter work mode. The main purpose of his visit this time was to discuss investment matters with Kaixin.com.
Su Wang and Chen Binghao looked at each other. Regarding the investment plan proposed by Carlyle, Su Wang had already read it before coming, and also exchanged opinions with Chen Binghao on the phone.
"Mr. Wang, your company is interested in the development prospects of Kaixin.com, which makes us proud. However, regarding the valuation, two billion is probably a bit low," Chen Binghao said.
"Mr. Chen, two billion is the result of our many investigations and estimates. To be honest, this valuation is not low. I believe you two also know about Xiaonei.com's financing. I can
Tell you two the specifics of this investment."
As a venture capitalist, Wang Kaige knows the inside story of SoftBank's investment in Renren very well. After all, everyone is engaged in investment and has contact information with each other.
"SoftBank invested US$96 million in Renren in the first phase and holds 14% of Renren's shares. One year later, SoftBank can exercise a US$288 million stock subscription agreement and its shareholding ratio will increase to 40%."
"In other words, SoftBank invested a total of US$384 million in Renren and took 40% of Renren's shares. Based on this valuation, Renren's current market value is about 6.7 billion yuan."
Wang Kaige leaned back slightly on the sofa and said with a smile: "How many years has Renren been established? I believe you two know better than me. Although the current development trend of Kaixin.com is very good, we still cannot compete with Renren.
In comparison, the valuation of 2 billion is already considered very high."
The valuation of 2 billion is indeed not low at the moment, but Wang Kaige would give such a valuation and be willing to invest money in it because he knows that Kaixin.com’s development prospects are more than this. He believes that the two people in front of him also believe in this.
Know.
The development prospect is the development prospect. From having good development prospects to completely growing up, a company needs a lot of capital assistance during this period.
Wang Kaige likes to read online novels when he takes a break. Many people think online novels are nonsense, but in his opinion, many settings in online novels are actually reflections of real life.
The protagonists in those cultivation novels are like a company with development prospects. It is one thing to have huge potential, but if there are not enough cultivation resources, no matter how potential it is, it will not be able to grow. The same is true for the protagonists in the novel, and the same is true for the enterprise.
In particular, he also learned that Xiaonei.com has regarded Kaixin.com as a competitor. After raising this money, it is already preparing to attack Kaixin.com. If Kaixin.com does not have enough capital to resist, then it is very likely that Kaixin.com will
It was defeated or acquired by Xiaonei.com.
Financing is an urgent matter for Kaixin.com, so he believes that the two people in front of him will definitely agree.
