Chapter 1314 Can Xia Zekai reach the top in the next round?
After the old guy Shen Nanpeng saw Xia Zekai, he had to take Xia Zekai aside alone and asked him whether the shares of "Xiaoai Technology" were for sale, and said that he could buy some at a high price.
"Boss Xia, don't say I'm unjust, you know Xiaomi's Lao Lei, he has also started to tinker with this thing."
"Xiao Li from Baidu has also started researching. When both of them have developed something, they will compete with your Xiaoai classmates for the market. At that time, 'Xiaoai Technology' may not be as valuable as it is now. ." Shen Nanpeng said to Xia Zekai seriously.
Xia Zekai stared at him for a while, making Shen Nanpeng feel scared. Finally, Xia Zekai asked him: "Old Shen, how much are you willing to pay?"
Shen Nanpeng was not naive enough to think that Xia Zekai agreed so readily. He hesitated for a while and then asked: "Are you really willing to sell it?"
He couldn't believe it now. He always felt that Xia Zekai was tricking him.
Xia Zekai said with a smile: "It depends on the price you offer. I'm not Grandet, and I don't pay a dime. If the price you offer is high enough, it won't be impossible to sell it to you."
"Is this it?" Shen Nanpeng stretched out five fingers and said, "How about five times the premium? I think it's interesting!"
"Are you sure?" Xia Zekai looked at him with a smile on his face and asked again.
This made Shen Nanpeng very suspicious and asked him: "As long as you are willing to sell it, I will pay the money."
"But the current price of Xiaomi Technology is not low. I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it by then." Xia Zekai said, "I just look down on you."
This made Shen Nanpeng feel stunned and a little impatient: "Boss Xia, just tell me the number."
"Sure, Lao Ma, you know, right?" Xia Zekai looked at Shen Nanpeng and nodded, and then said: "Lao Ma invested a total of 1.7 billion yuan in October and took away 9.15% of Xiaoai Technology's shares. Are you sure you want to pay 5 Double the premium? Then I’ll sell you a part less.”
This answer was beyond Shen Nanpeng's expectation. If Xia Zekai had not frightened him, then the current value of 'Xiaoai Technology' would be 18.579 billion yuan. At a 5-fold premium, it would be close to 93 billion yuan. This is almost 100 billion yuan. It is a new company that has been established for less than two years. The most important thing is that it is a new company that focuses on industry. What a joke!
Shen Nanpeng suddenly felt a little worried at this moment. He didn't really want to buy it, but Xia Zekai still held on to him.
"Old Shen, I don't want zero anymore. How about you pay 90 billion yuan and I sell you a few fewer shares?" Xia Zekai tried his best to persuade him and said: "After passing this village, there is no such store. .”
"Brother Xia, Director Shen, hurry up and come over for the meeting." Zhang Yiming called them not far away.
After entering the conference room just now, everyone realized that Xia Zekai and Shen Nanpeng's seats were still empty, and Zhang Yiming hurried out to look for them.
Shen Nanpeng quickly responded: "Come right away."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards Zhang Yiming. Xia Zekai looked behind and was dumbfounded. He even yelled: "Old Shen, didn't you promise to buy it just now? Now you are going to regret it." Really? You must be honest in life, we can’t be like this!"
"Boss Xia, are you lying to a fool? 93 billion? You really dare to ask for a price!" Shen Nanpeng suppressed his anger. He was really afraid that he would explode if he couldn't suppress it.
But who is Xia Zekai? How could he be intimidated by Shen Nanpeng: "Boss Shen, who just said you want to buy my shares at a 5 times premium? Did I force you? We can't do business because of benevolence and righteousness. There’s no need for you to turn your back on me and deny anyone else!”
Seeing Xia Zekai reasoning with him in a serious manner, and looking at that 'Blah blah' mouth, Shen Nanpeng wanted to take off his shoes and breathe directly in. Where did this bear thing come from? It's so irritating. .
Xia Zekai wasn't finished yet. He followed behind and walked towards Zhang Yiming, and kept talking: "Old Shen, you just said that only fools buy shares of Xiaoai Technology. I didn't wrong you, did I? Next time I see you, I will When riding a horse, I can tell him that you said he is a fool."
Shen Nanpeng suddenly stopped and turned to look at Xia Zekai with a look of helplessness on his face. He regretted why he had to provoke Xia Zekai just now. He couldn't find anyone to buy shares. Aren't other shareholders the same? Hit him.
"Boss Xia, we're almost done. I'll punish myself with three cups of head office during lunch." This was Shen Nanpeng's resignation.
Xia Zekai hissed, as if he suddenly had a toothache, and said, "Three glasses of wine are too expensive, and tens of billions of business will be lost."
"..." Shen Nanpeng didn't want to say a word more at this moment, turned around and left.
Zhang Yiming looked amused and asked: "Brother Xia, what's wrong with Boss Shen? Why are you so angry?"
"Lao Shen is old after all. Maybe he has advanced menopause." Xia Zekai said.
Shen Nanpeng, who was walking in front, stumbled and almost fell down.
…
At the year-end shareholder meeting of YiXingXing, Liang Rubo said several things, all of which were related to YiXingXing itself.
He told all the shareholders and shareholder representatives about the fact that Yixing was interviewed after calling the police and complaining about the local taxi company instructing taxi drivers to go fishing.
At the same time, Liang Rubo also mentioned that the next step of "Yixing" will be to focus on the development of a "platform security early warning system".
Liang Rubo said that the 'safety warning system' used by the platform before was not perfect enough and had many loopholes. If a customer really got into an accident while taking a car affiliated with their platform, the debt would eventually fall on the platform. In order to prevent this from happening , he thought about restarting the new 'platform early warning system' to make this area more complete, the operating mechanism more reasonable, and the processing faster.
Other than that, we just continue to spend money and compete for the market.
The market share of Yitrip's driving and taxi-hailing business in the same industry once reached a peak of 90%, but was later taken back by several larger second-tier platforms through desperate money-spending methods. The market share once caused the market share of Yichu to drop by 20 percentage points, to 70% now, and even continues to decline.
Although it is still the absolute market leader, after once occupying 90% of the market share, Liang Rubo feels pain every time the market share decreases.
"Next step, Yitrip.com will continue to fight for discounts until it completely defeats other platforms. That will be our victory," Liang Rubo said emotionally.
Capital investors such as Sequoia Capital, Matrix Partners, Inno Angel Fund, etc. know a little about what Liang Rubo said. They also know that the travel-friendly market is indeed shrinking, but they also understand that this is not the case.
It doesn’t mean that traveling is worthless.
On the contrary, it was only after the comparison of real gold and fire that they realized the horror of "it is appropriate to travel".
There are at least dozens of taxi-hailing, driving-hailing, ride-hailing and other software platforms on the market now. If you include some small platforms, the number may exceed hundreds.
But even with so many enemies around, Yichu’s market share still remains strong at around 70%. The remaining dozens or hundreds of platforms only grab 30% of the market share. Who is more powerful?
"I'm afraid the next time we have an interview, it will be because we monopolize the market." Xia Zekai muttered to himself.
He felt that this day might not be too far away.
"The next step, the Yitrip platform should be split up, right?" Xia Zekai had such an idea in his mind for no reason.
As someone who dominates the top of the food chain in an industry, it will never be allowed to be in private hands in China.
During the meeting, four or five people asked Xia Zekai about the annual meeting of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd.
They also wanted to attend the annual meeting of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. to feel the atmosphere.
Xia Zekai, on the other hand, no matter what their purpose is, he welcomes everyone who wants to attend the annual meeting of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd.
Nothing went wrong at the Yixing shareholders' meeting, and everything went smoothly.
All shareholders present were in favor of Yixing’s launch of Series D financing this time.
The 'Yixing' platform first appeared in the first half of 2010. It started as a driving platform and has now grown into a comprehensive online ride-hailing platform for driving, taxis, ride-hailing, etc. Unknowingly, three and a half years have passed.
It's time.
In the past three and a half years, it has gone through many hardships and has become an Internet unicorn enterprise, and it is one of the best.
However, it still has many problems to be solved, and solving the problems requires spending money. According to the current size of Yike, the funds required are huge.
And currently financing is the best way.
Not only does Yitrip need financing, but after Xia Zekai went on to attend Toutiao’s shareholder meeting, Toutiao will also start Series C financing.
At this time, many people in the capital market were in a state of revelry, and even called directly to tell them how much money they needed.
As the two companies, Yichuxing and Jinri Toutiao, are about to launch the next round of financing together, the capital market has begun to give various valuation guesses for these two companies.
At this stage, these capital investors have a deep understanding of Yitrip and Toutiao. At this time, no capital venture has the shame to deliberately give a very low valuation.
Because of this, several capital parties have privately quoted very high prices.
This has also led to a new wave of wealth estimates for Xia Zekai, who is second to Lao Ma and Lao Wang. These netizens are worried about Xia Zekai, calculating how his personal wealth will increase after the completion of these two financings.
What step can be achieved?
Many people are thinking about a question: can Xia Zekai defeat Lao Wang and Lao Ma in one fell swoop in the next round of rankings and step on them to the top?
