Chapter 1361 No sales for less than 50 billion US dollars! (4200 words) Ask for a monthly pass
When Xia Zekai came over, he saw Liang Rubo talking to a middle-aged man.
"Ru Bo, how are you today?" He walked over and asked.
After Liang Rubo saw him, he was even more happy: "Brother Xia, you are here."
"Director Liang, who is this?" the middle-aged man who just spoke to Liang Rubo asked.
Then Liang Rubo introduced him: "Mr. Guo, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Xia Zekai, the major shareholder of our company."
"Hey, you, I have heard many legendary stories about Mr. Xia, but I didn't expect that Mr. Xia is so young." The middle-aged man known as "Mr. Guo" looked at Xia Zekai carefully for a while and sighed repeatedly.
Liang Rubo introduced Xia Zekai: "Brother Xia, this is Mr. Guo Houzhao from CITIC Industrial Fund."
"Mr. Guo, nice to meet you!"
"Mr. Xia, it's an honor to meet you!" Guo Houzhao quickly reached out his hand and squeezed Xia Zekai's hand.
He put himself in a weak position, but Xia Zekai didn't really win.
"Brother Xia, you go up first. We will go up when we are done." Liang Rubo said.
He turned back to Yu Shuping and said, "Mr. Yu, please bring Brother Xia up."
"Okay!" Yu Shuping agreed with a smile, turned around and walked upstairs with Xia Ze.
"Rubo, you guys are busy first, I'll go up and wait for you." Xia Zekai said hello to Liang Rubo and Guo Houzhao, and followed Yu Shuping up without any hesitation.
Guo Houzhao remained where he was, watching Xia Zekai's figure disappear at the door of the hotel. He asked Liang Rubo: "Director Liang, it is said that Mr. Xia is the major shareholder of Yixing. Is it true?"
"You are talking about me, Brother Xia. He is indeed the person with the most shares in the company, but he never interferes in the internal management of the company." Liang Rubo acted very seriously when talking about this matter.
After hearing Liang Rubo's admission, Guo Houzhao remained silent on the surface, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
Someone happened to come over from behind. Guo Houzhao greeted Liang Rubo and said, "Director Liang, you are busy now. I'm going up. Let's talk in detail later."
"Okay!" Liang Rubo nodded with a smile and said to Yang Bin beside him: "Mr. Yang, please arrange for someone to bring Mr. Guo up."
"Okay! Mr. Guo, please come this way!" Yang Bin moved his hand forward and arranged for someone to take him up.
Guo Houzhao was not angry because of Liang Rubo's contempt. He knew that he and Xia Zekai were still different, and he could not expect everyone who came today to enjoy Xia Zekai's 'treatment'.
First of all, identity and status are different.
But after going to the business conference hall on the top floor, Guo Houzhao entered the door, stood at the door and looked around, and saw Xia Zekai sitting in a corner in the southeast drinking tea, so he went straight over.
Wang Yi, who was sitting next to Xia Zekai, saw someone coming, and he subconsciously took a step forward. When Xia Zekai saw it was Guo Houzhao, he stretched out his hand to signal Wang Yi to step back. He stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Guo, sit down.
.”
"Mr. Xia, I'm sorry to bother you." Guo Houzhao bowed slightly and said politely.
Xia Zekai's face was still smiling, and there was no special change. He sat down again.
Guo Houzhao sat down on the chair next to him and asked, "Mr. Xia, I take the liberty of disturbing you today."
"It's okay. This person is a guest. Is there anything wrong with Mr. Guo?" Xia Zekai seemed to treat him as the owner of this place.
Guo Houzhao knew that there was nothing wrong with what Xia Zekai said, and he didn't think Xia Zekai was going too far. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Mr. Xia, do you have any plans to sell the Yixing shares in your hand? We can give you a good price.
.”
"Guo always said that I hold all the shares in Yixing?" Xia Zekai asked.
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, trying to see through him.
But Xia Zekai was disappointed, and the expression on Guo Houzhao's face didn't change much.
The next moment I heard Guo Houzhao say: "It doesn't matter a few points, it doesn't matter if you sell it all, our CITIC Industrial Fund will take over."
"Mr. Guo, the price of travel is not cheap!" Xia Zekai said with a smile.
He could tell that Guo Houzhao was serious.
But having said that, you can tell who Guo Houzhao represents from the words ‘Central Industry Fund’.
Speaking of CITIC, they really have the money!
China CITIC Bank, CITIC Securities, the big brother in the securities industry, plus the CITIC Industrial Fund that suddenly appeared in front of us, to put it bluntly, they are all from the same family.
As expected, Guo Houzhao nodded with a smile: "Mr. Xia, don't worry, the price will definitely not let you suffer a loss, and we guarantee cash settlement."
"Say a price!" Guo Houzhao said, with a particularly confident tone.
Xia Zekai took another sip of tea, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He said with a serious expression: "Mr. Guo, I'm so sorry. You are not for sale when traveling!"
"Haha, Mr. Xia, I was joking just now, don't worry!" When Guo Houzhao heard Xia Zekai say this, instead of being angry, he burst into laughter.
"Hey, Boss Xia, you are here, I have been looking for you for a long time." The visitor said with a smile, he is Zhou Hongyi.
"Chou, sit down!" Xia Zekai pointed to the empty seat on the other side and said.
Zhou Hongyi also saw Guo Houzhao, but he didn't know Guo Houzhao, so he sat down and said: "Boss Xia, we have agreed that according to today's final valuation, two points will be transferred to me, right?"
"Two points at most!" Xia Zekai added.
Zhou Hongyi didn't care, he nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, up to two points, one point of shares are fine. Depending on Mr. Xia's mood, we have made this decision and cannot change it any more."
"It's a deal!" Xia Zekai said with a smile.
Guo Houzhao next to him was still smiling when he heard the conversation between Xia Zekai and Zhou Hongyi. No one knew what he was thinking.
But there was no anger on his face at all. It was as if Xia Zekai just said that the shares of "Yixing" were not for sale, and now he was discussing with Zhou Hongyi about selling the shares of "Yixing". This was not happening in front of him.
People are easy to admire.
But he is not a messy person. From the words of Xia Zekai and Zhou Hongyi, you can tell that they have spoken before!
After Guo Houzhao and Zhou Hongyi, other people came to chat with Xia Zekai.
He even discussed with Xia Zekai about buying some old shares of Yixing from him, but when Xia Zekai heard about the transaction, he was as silent as gold. It was not that he had any objections to the 'Central Industry Fund'.
I don't remember how much time passed, but Yu Shuping's voice suddenly came from the venue. The venue that was originally full of discussions suddenly became quiet. Xia Zekai looked up at this time and found that Yu Shuping was already standing on the stage of the venue.
Already.
"Brother Xia, why are you drinking tea here by yourself?" Liang Rubo came to Xia Zekai and asked him softly.
Xia Zekai smiled and said, "Be quiet alone."
"Haha, Brother Xia is joking." Liang Rubo heard Yu Shuping's opening remarks and announced the first step of today's D round of financing. He would introduce the product "Yixing".
Hearing this, Liang Rubo said something to Xia Zekai and walked onto the stage calmly.
"Kaka!"
The sound of cameras pressing shutters under the stage came one after another, and all the media present also turned on their own recorders, fearing that they would miss the most exciting moment later.
Immediately afterwards, applause from the audience broke out and lasted for a long time.
Liang Rubo stepped onto the stage. He behaved calmly, raised his hands high, and slowly pressed down. The applause from below slowly disappeared.
Liang Rubo held the black wireless microphone in his hand and said with a smile: "I am Liang Rubo. I am very happy to welcome you all to participate in the D round of financing of 'Yixing' today. Before the formal financing meeting begins, I will share with you something about our Yixing
Achievements achieved in the past two years, as well as future industrial plans."
Immediately afterwards, a new PPT flashed on the large LED screen in the exhibition hall. Liang Rubo used the laser pen handed to him by the staff next to him to control the pages of the PPT. Page by page, he uploaded the PPT information about travel agency, taxi, etc.
The achievements that Hitchhiker Sankuai has made in the past are explained in detail.
In this link, he explained every data in detail, making sure that everyone could hear it clearly.
When everyone under the stage heard these data, they all compared it with the data they had obtained before, including daily active users, monthly active users, actual number of users, number of online driver registrations and other key data.
When Liang Rubo began to explain the next step of the trip, the scene became even quieter.
Liang Rubo said: “Our Yixing platform’s layout in first- and second-tier cities has been nearly perfected, but our layout in third- and fourth-tier cities and even fifth-tier counties is far from enough. What we have to do next is to seek a larger
User groups, and this opportunity lies in third- and fourth-tier cities, and even fifth-tier counties."
"I remember that when I was in school, I had to transfer a lot of cars. At that time, I often heard people complaining on the road that "it's difficult to take a taxi."
“It’s really terrible to go out”
"It's really difficult to go back to my parents' house with all the big and small bags and the older and younger children hanging on them."
"So, in the next three to five years, we at 'Yixing' require that wherever the platform reaches, this situation will not be allowed to happen again."
"In the future, even if you are on a remote country road, as long as you open the 'Yixing' APP platform and search for passenger cars within the range, we will definitely let you hire a vehicle." Liang Rubo said.
The scene burst into applause.
Everyone under the stage understood the core purpose of what Liang Rubo wanted to express, but they also understood that achieving this effect would not be something that could be accomplished in three to five years.
But no one cared about this. Liang Rubo used very vivid examples to perfectly paint a picture of the future for them.
It also made them understand that the future market for "Yixing" is very broad, far beyond the current part.
Some people have begun to consider how appropriate it is to value Yitrip in this round.
But after thinking about it, I don't think it's appropriate.
Yitrip completed the C round of financing in May 2011. After receiving US$909 million in financing at a price of US$5.76 billion, it has been committed to market development for more than two and a half years.
and vertical and horizontal development.
In the past two years and nine months, although there has been no further financing, this does not affect the market valuation of Yitrip being refreshed and highly recognized.
Just like in March last year, the capital market recognized that Yixing's market valuation had reached US$26.392 billion, and the capital market was willing to acquire the old shares from Yixing shareholders at this price.
If according to the latest valuation of Yichuxing this time last year, it has increased by nearly 3.6 times compared to the Series C round of financing. So what about now?
To what extent does the market recognize it?
Xia Zekai also wanted to know the price.
After all, he really wants to give up some shares in exchange for money, rather than just teasing Lao Zhou.
While Xia Zekai was deep in thought, Liang Rubo on the stage was still talking, and the capital side off the stage also began to discuss with his team what price to offer today.
It definitely won't work if the price is cheap.
The capabilities of Yitrip in all aspects are obvious to all. If nothing else is mentioned, its advertising revenue ranking has reached the top five among application apps.
In front of it are Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu, Sina Weibo, etc.
This data is enough to explain everything, but at this time, the advertising revenue of Yitrip and the top three application apps cannot be compared.
"Boss Xia, what price do you think Yixing can get for today?" Shen Nanpeng sneaked up to Xia Zekai at some point and asked him.
Sequoia China also holds a 6.32% stake in Yixing.
Here are not only the proceeds from their investment, but also a few shares that were traded privately with Xia Zekai, Zhang Yiming, and Liang Rubo. But no matter what, compared to the purchase price two and a half years ago, Sequoia China is now making a profit, and
It's a huge profit.
"How about doubling last year's sales?" Xia Zekai glanced at Shen Nanpeng and asked him.
When Shen Nanpeng heard what Xia Zekai said, he shook his head: "Boss Xia, it's not that I look down on Yi Xing. This price is obviously impossible, and even if there is capital investment, there is not much profit at this price."
They have to wait until Yixing is listed on the market to see if they can make more money.
Xia Zekai also had to admit that Shen Nanpeng had a very steady eye.
"That's true, but if it's less than 50 billion, I won't sell it," Xia Zekai said.
When Shen Nanpeng heard what he said, he laughed on the spot. Wasn't this just a shameless act?
Xia Zekai looked at him, the expression on his face did not change at all. He asked, "Why, Boss Shen doesn't believe it?"
"I believe it, but I'm afraid no one will buy it!" Shen Nanpeng said.
Xia Zekai pointed to the backs of Zhou Hongyi and middle-aged man Guo Houzhao not far away, and said: "If I quote this price, both of them will buy it, and they will rush to buy it. Does Boss Shen believe it?"
"Then I can only say that they are stupid and have too much money!" Shen Nanpeng disagreed on this point.
Sequoia China has their investment strategy and their risk control lines. In Shen Nanpeng’s view, Yixing’s valuation of US$50 billion is too high.
He wouldn't be taken advantage of anyway.
Xia Zekai smiled and did not argue about this issue.
To put it bluntly, this is the limit of everyone's psychological endurance. Shen Nanpeng is a professional investor. What he should do most is not to have a unique pair of eyes, but to do a good job in systemic risk control first!
Compared with this, everything else is just a cloud!
