No one knew the final result, but the media present on the day immediately reported the Series B financing event of ‘Today’s Toutiao’.
Can you write something else if there is no result?
This is what they wrote in the news. After two rounds of fierce competition for Toutiao’s Series B financing, five companies were finally shortlisted, including Qihoo 360, Sequoia China, Sina Weibo, Source Code Capital and Tencent Investment.
As a cutting-edge Internet company that has been emerging for less than two years, Toutiao's first-round valuation in the capital market exceeded US$2 billion, and its future is limitless.
The company's shareholders, including Zhang Yiming, Xia Zekai, and Liang Rubo, are all the top three shareholders of 'Yixing' Technology Co., Ltd. We can also see that 'Today's Toutiao' used the channel of 'Yixing' at the beginning of its launch.
Extensive publicity, does this mean that 'Yixing' Technology Co., Ltd. will launch a more in-depth cooperation with 'Today's Toutiao' in the next step?
Zhang Yiming, the founder of 'Today's Toutiao', predicted at the financing meeting that Toutiao's next advertising revenue will be in line with major companies such as Tencent, Alibaba, iQiyi, Sina Weibo, etc. Does this mean that Toutiao has high aspirations?
…
"Daughter-in-law, look at this report, it sounds like that." Xia Zekai handed the phone to his wife Luo Xiyun.
Toutiao's B round of financing happened yesterday. The media did not know what the final market valuation was, but Xia Zekai knew very well that yesterday's final price was US$2.26 billion, with 20% of the shares sold and 452 million raised.
US dollars.
This is also the Internet company with the largest amount of financing in recent years, except last year’s D round of financing from Yixing.
In this round of financing, five capital parties subscribed for 20 million shares each, Xia Zekai followed suit with 1 million shares, Kaiyun Investment and Haina Asia each invested 2 million shares.
After reading it, Luo Xiyun said: "These media don't know anything. They just talk nonsense when they open their mouths. They purely guide public opinion and mislead the public."
"Hey, don't you think what they wrote is quite bluffing," Xia Zekai said, pointing to the title.
Luo Xiyun didn't even look at it. She was still very dissatisfied with yesterday's results. She said: "I originally wanted to get more shares, but those capital parties are all acting like wolves and will not allocate more shares."
"Okay, you've already taken 2 million shares, what else do you want!" Xia Zekai said to her.
Luo Xiyun snorted and said: "It's best not to let them meet me next time, otherwise..."
Xia Zekai glanced at his wife and laughed, feeling very happy.
Luo Xiyun refused to let him go and rushed over to fight with him.
"Mom, mom..." The girl ran in from outside.
When she opened her eyes and saw her parents fighting on the bed, she was stunned. After she realized what she was doing, she ran over and said, "Dad, you are not allowed to hit mom."
"Tongtong, daddy is beating mommy, come here and help!" the girl shouted anxiously.
Xia Zekai: "I..."
He wanted to cry. What kind of world is this? Can my daughter clearly see who is bullying whom before helping? Are you not helping others?
The whole morning passed by fighting and fussing.
After breakfast, Luo Xiyun asked him: "Zekai, shall we go back tomorrow?"
She said: "You gave Yatou and Tongtong a week's leave. It's time to go back to school tomorrow."
When Tongtong heard her mother say this, she immediately said: "I don't want to go back to school. It's not interesting at all. I want to play."
"Then you can play in the capital by yourself. Mom and I have gone back." Xia Zekai said.
Tongtong was unhappy when he heard this: "I can't, I can't!"
"Why are you so capable!" Xia Zekai said to her.
Tongtong's eyes widened. She bared her teeth and wanted to bite her father. Suddenly, someone's voice came from outside: "Is Mr. Xia at home?"
"Who is it?" Xia Zekai sounded familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember who it was.
When they came out and took a look, they discovered that it was his old neighbor Hao Shaobo.
"Mr. Hao, come in quickly!" Xia Zekai let the girl and Tongtong play by themselves.
Hao Shaobo's condition today looks much better than when I saw him a few days ago.
The haggard look on his face is gone, and his whole person is more energetic.
"Has Mr. Hao's matter been dealt with?" Xia Zekai asked him thoughtfully.
Hao Shaobo smiled and nodded: "Everything has been dealt with. The house has been sold. After paying off the company's debt, there will still be a surplus of 20 million."
“Mr.
This house makes a lot of money, what’s wrong with this world!”
"Haha, if that's the case, Mr. Hao might as well concentrate on real estate speculation..." Xia Zekai even laughed as he said it.
But Hao Shaobo shook his head: "I always feel that a house is neither for production nor for added value. House speculation will have its own consequences sooner or later. It's the same as beating a drum to spread flowers. It all depends on who takes over in the end."
"I now understand how capable I am of accomplishing great things. I will no longer take out loans and concentrate on running Kangjian Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. One day when I am truly strong, I can expand my business." The expression on Hao Shaobo's face was very calm.
, after he experienced this wave of events, he saw many things clearly.
"That's good. Mr. Hao can see through this. You are much better than most." Xia Zekai said with a smile.
The smile on Hao Shaobo's face became brighter and brighter, and he said: "It's still not as good as Mr. Xia."
"I just saw the news this morning. The financing valuation of 'Today's Toutiao' is more than 2 billion US dollars. Mr. Xia has made a lot of money again this time. When the ranking is next year, won't Mr. Xia have to rush forward a few more places?
"Hao Shaobo said.
Xia Zekai didn't care. He said: "It doesn't matter if I fall to the bottom. Everything that is fictitious and unreal is all book wealth. Didn't Mr. Hao just understand it? Why is he starting to get confused again?"
Hao Shaobo was stunned by what he said and almost believed his lies. Then he realized: "That's different. I can guarantee that if Mr.
Many people are rushing to get it.”
Xia Zekai smiled and said nothing.
The two chatted for more than half an hour. Hao Shaobo's cell phone rang again. He glanced at the caller ID and said to Xia Zekai: "Mr. Xia, my wife called me. I have to leave. Let's go next time.
See you again if we are destined."
"Mr. Hao, you have my mobile phone number. We are in constant contact on the phone. If you need any help, you can let me know. I also know a few good friends." Xia Zekai said.
"Hey, good!" Hao Shaobo was very moved. He was curious about this neighbor who he didn't have much contact with at first, then he was surprised, and now he admires him.
It is admirable to see that the other party is still unfazed by honor and disgrace even though his wealth has increased a lot!
After Xia Zekai watched Hao Shaobo leave, he could feel that Hao Shaobo had really realized his enlightenment now. Because of this, he thought it was quite interesting. If he really needed help, he wouldn't mind helping him.
"If nothing else happens, Kangjian Biopharmaceutical will definitely be able to develop in the future." Xia Zekai muttered.
Luo Xiyun came over and asked him: "Zekai, what are you talking about!"
Xia Zekai told her what happened just now, and at the end, he said, "Do you think he can succeed in the future?"
Luo Xiyun said "Yes": "Sure, after passing this hurdle, there is no debt in the company, and he can understand the form again, this will make him stand up."
"But selling a house actually paid off the company's debt, which is really interesting."
"What, you want to flip houses?" Xia Zekai looked at his wife's eyes and knew what she wanted to do.
Luo Xiyun said: "Excluding the 50 million from this follow-up investment, I still have more than 100 million on hand, and I haven't had any projects recently..."
"Daughter-in-law, let me ask you something. If you buy a house, how long do you think it will take to generate profits?"
"..." Luo Xiyun thought seriously for a while and did not say anything.
"Suppose you find a good project tomorrow, but all your money is tied up in the house and there is no profit for the time being. Would you sell it?" Xia Zekai asked her again.
Luo Xiyun suddenly realized: "You are right!"
"Be careful with your investment and stop thinking about it." Xia Zekai said to her.
Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo came over. They knew that Brother Xia and his family were going back soon. Even though Toutiao's Series B financing had just been completed and there was still a lot of finishing work to be done, Zhang Yiming still put it aside for the time being.
When they came over, Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo brought two sets of toys each, and Qingyu and the three of them also bought some small clothes.
The driver behind was carrying several nutritional gift boxes.
Before they even entered the door, the two of them shouted loudly: "Girl, Tongtong, come out and see what this is."
Sisters Yatou and Tongtong were still playing in the villa. After hearing the sound, the sisters ran out.
"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Liang, did you buy me toys?" The girl remembers things well and is as virtuous as her mother.
Tongtong rushed towards Liang Rubo: "Wow wow wow, Uncle Liang, hurry up and show me what kind of toy it is."
The sisters were extremely happy.
Liang Rubo was afraid that Tongtong would fall again, so he quickly put the toy on the ground, squatted down and hugged Tongtong who rushed over: "Tongtong, slow down, don't fall."
"Uncle Liang, I'm not afraid of falling!" Tongtong was quite proud.
Xia Zekai heard the commotion and came out: "Yi Ming, Ru Bo, you came here without saying a word, why are you even here?"
"Brother Xia is going back soon. We have nothing to do, so we just came here to hang out and have a meal." Liang Rubo said this.
Xia Zekai glanced at Zhang Yiming: "Yiming, Toutiao should be very busy today."
"No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat. Brother Xia won't ignore the food, right?" Zhang Yiming asked.
"Zekai, it's very hot outside, please let Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liang come in to talk." Luo Xiyun called out from the villa.
Liang Rubo quickly flattered her: "My sister-in-law is still wise!"
"Sister-in-law, Brother Xia asked me to introduce you to a partner last time. Is there anyone suitable now?" Liang Rubo urged.
Luo Xiyun really remembered this, but she never found the right one.
Who is Liang Rubo? According to the latest rankings, he is worth tens of billions and is only 28 years old. Can such a young Wang Laowu be accomplished by a girl from an ordinary family?
By then, I'm afraid there won't be any common language, and we'll have to split up sooner or later. Luo Xiyun feels that being a matchmaker is very stressful.
This weekend, I will take my children out for a walk. I will come back in the afternoon and write another chapter. I will try to write more and upload it as soon as possible!
