The final quotation result was beyond the expectations of Liang Rubo, Zhang Yiming, Xia Zekai and others.
Even Yu Shuping was stunned.
The Yixing Driving Platform’s B-round quotation was US$800 million. On this basis, the Yixing Driving Platform announced an additional issuance of 20 million shares in this round. Taking into account various development requirements, it received a huge financing of US$100 million in one go.
This result was beyond the expectations of the media present. It was too high, but the capital side bought it.
After this round of financing, private companies such as Sequoia Capital, Matrix Partners, Dachen Venture Capital and China Renaissance entered the game. Sina Cao Guowei, who I was originally most optimistic about, was also out of the game. Xia Zekai followed as an original shareholder.
In addition, Liang Rubo, Zhang Yiming, Yang Bin and Yu Shuping all gave up their plans to follow the investment.
The valuation is really too high. It will have no effect at all to invest the little cash they have in hand. But if they invest less, they might as well keep the cash in hand for emergencies.
However, the further expansion of the "Yixing Driving Platform" also caused the value of their original shares to increase sharply.
Calculated based on the current exchange rate of US dollars to RMB 6.82, this additional issuance of 20 million shares actually resulted in RMB 682 million in funds.
As soon as this data came out, the media at the scene immediately grabbed the key points and began to write articles frantically.
They looked at the Internet investment market in recent years and found that the first person to receive this amount was Meituan last year, which also received a huge financing of US$100 million.
I never expected that a year later, a new platform that had only been around for more than half a year would also receive this huge amount of financing.
Many people at the scene called it a miracle. They kept saying that this trip was worthwhile and they really saw the birth of a miracle today.
Pigs on the policy front can really go to heaven.
As for how they will allocate the money in the future, these media parties don’t know, and even other capital parties don’t know either.
That's an internal matter within the 'Yixing' driving platform.
The exit of Sina boss Cao Guowei was very surprising. He originally came here with full confidence and vowed to win a part of the share, but after several twists and turns, he was discouraged.
His identity doesn't matter here at all. No one cares about it. You either have to come up with funds and rely on a combination of Sina and Weibo resources plus promotion and some cash. This is too low a starting point. To put it bluntly, Yixing Driving Platform
Now there is no shortage of promotion resources, but money!
Lack of lots of money!
Cao Guowei originally wanted to take advantage of Yu Shuping and let him deal with it because of his past friendship. Isn't this nonsense?
Yu Shuping wished they didn't succeed, so he would help them?
In Yu Shuping's words, you don't even look at my contribution to launching Weibo. If you say you don't need me, don't use me. When you have to put someone over for me, have you ever considered my feelings?
Xia Zekai was still there to encourage Yu Shuping, so there was nothing wrong with him.
After Cao Guowei also suffered a defeat at Yu Shuping's place, he felt that his face was damaged and left directly.
Things were so busy at this point that it was already past lunch time. Liang Rubo quickly asked the investors and media who came today to go to the restaurant below for lunch.
The grade is not low.
Everyone also gave him this face.
After all, the several capital investors who entered the game this time are all heavyweights in the industry. I believe that with their help, the Yixing driving platform will develop even more rapidly in the next step.
So will they still have a chance in the next round of financing?
…
When Xia Zekai came over and was busy participating in the Series B financing of Yixing Driving Platform, over in Qicheng, Zhang Xu had also been busy buying land for the past two days.
This is fundamental to the development of the company, and he dare not neglect it.
After two days, Zhang Xu finally completed all the formalities by relying on his previous relationship. The next step was to wait for the boss to sign.
But the boss has been away from home recently, so there is no rush for this, we can only wait.
With these things in mind, Zhang Xu sent a text message to Xia Zekai explaining the situation.
He soon received a call from Xia Zekai: "Zhang Xu, please write down a fax number and fax me a copy of the information to sign."
In this way, Xia Zekai had just completed the Series B financing meeting and signed the land purchase contract before the benefits were distributed.
After Zhang Xu got the signature, he went through the remaining procedures with financial manager Sun Guoqiang.
In addition to the land purchase fee, there are also taxes and fees related to the land purchase, which were paid in two days.
In the past two days, Sun Guoqiang, an old man with old arms and legs, almost had cramps in his running legs, but he felt happy when he thought that more than 100 acres of land had become the company's assets, and that the company would continue to expand the factory in the next step.
.
The stronger the company is, the more comfortable it is for them to work here, and corresponding benefits will be greatly adjusted.
Thinking back to when I first joined the company, the Jingtong Food Factory at that time was still a rented workshop of more than 600 square meters, without even a regular office space. However, within two years, they changed from shotgun to missile. This change
The size is eye-catching.
Life had brought so many surprises to him that he was in a trance.
He also asked Zhang Xu next to him: "Xiao Zhang, how far do you think our company will develop next?"
Zhang Xu was stunned by the question. He had never thought about this question. He was suddenly asked by Sun Guoqiang. After thinking for a while, he said confidently: "Manager Sun, I believe that Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. will definitely become a leader in the industry."
An important company in the world.”
"Yes, you are right, we should work harder next!" Sun Guoqiang said.
…
In the capital, we all drank some wine at noon, and the profit distribution that afternoon had not yet been carried out, so it was postponed to the next day.
In the evening, Liang Rubo invited four capital investors and organized a dinner with Xia Zekai, Zhang Yiming, Yang Bin, and Yu Shuping.
Luo Xiyun also took Yatou and Tongtong there.
After Zhang Ying from Jingwei Venture Capital saw Luo Xiyun, she consciously sat down with Luo Xiyun and Xiao Min from Dachen Venture Capital. Apart from two little girls, they were the only three girls present.
Zhang Ying even went out of her way to chat with Luo Xiyun in the morning, and they got very close to each other.
"Sister Ying, congratulations!"
"Hey, we haven't reached an agreement yet. If we get less shares, we won't be able to make much money." Zhang Ying sighed.
Luo Xiyun was also very strange, and she didn't answer the phone.
Xiao Min next to him despised him in his heart.
When Zhang Ying saw that she still didn't accept the move, she secretly praised Luo Xiyun for being smarter than she thought, and she didn't know what Luo Xiyun did before.
Liang Rubo formally introduced the original five shareholders of Yixing to the four capital parties. When he learned that Xia Zekai was the original largest shareholder, even Shen Nanpeng looked at Xia Zekai with admiration.
If I remember correctly, he also published an article calling for "drunk driving to be criminalized." Considering the largest shareholder of the "Yixing" driving platform, he felt that the article Xia Zekai published was Do it intentionally.
To be honest, he probably did it on purpose, but Shen Nanpeng had no evidence.
And it doesn’t make sense to state this kind of thing clearly. Could it be that you also revealed to the outside world that the Yixing Driving Platform had been premeditated?
Or is Xia Zekai harboring evil in his heart?
None of them are suitable!
Even Cao Guowei, who came back disappointed this morning, would not do this. People like them have their own bottom line and generally do not go back and touch this line. Otherwise, when their reputation is lost, the game is really over.
"Mr. Liang, let's discuss the specific allocation tomorrow. We can't delay it like this. It's not a problem." Shen Nanpeng took the initiative to bring it up.
People like Bao Fan from China Renaissance Capital, Zhang Ying from Matrix Partners, and Xiao Min from Dachen Venture Partners also nodded, saying that no matter what the outcome, a charter must be drawn up.
"Okay, let's go to the company to discuss it in detail tomorrow morning," Liang Rubo said.
At this time, he doesn't need to come forward, Xia Zekai and Shen Nanpeng can just separate themselves.
In the evening, everyone did not drink much wine, but mostly chatted.
Shen Nanpeng had known Zhang Yiming before, but was not familiar with Yang Bin and Yu Shuping. They were people from two circles, but he did not expect that two people from Sina would invest in Yixing. This had to make him sigh. Yu Shuping and his wife are really lucky!
The value of this wave of Yixing driving platform has more than doubled, with a market valuation of US$800 million. Even though the last shares of Yang Bin and Yu Shuping were once again diluted by a large proportion, the value of a single share jumped threefold. As the price rises, their values also grow wildly.
After the evening banquet, Xia Zekai and his family of four returned to the Golden Kelly Hotel. Before they could wash up, Xia Zekai's cell phone rang again.
Xia Zekai was puzzled when he saw Wang Qiong written on the phone screen.
This morning, Wang Qiong of Haina Asia didn't follow her to the end, and she didn't know what she was looking for now.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Xia Zekai had already answered Wang Qiong's call.
"Mr. Wang, what's wrong?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Wang Qiong was also very straightforward. She did not hide her purpose and said directly: "Boss Xia, I want to buy some shares in Yixing from you."
As soon as he heard her say this, Xia Zekai felt an inexplicable joy. Well, he went back to his old ways.
But the person opposite him was his God of Wealth after all. Xia Zekai did not turn his back on him after taking the money. He said: "Mr. Wang, didn't I say that the shares of Yixing are not for sale to me, and I am I also followed the investment once, do you think I will sell it at this time?"
Knowing that this was the case, Wang Qiong said: "In this case, next time Boss Xia wants to sell, give me a call and I will accept the order."
Xia Zekai may have his shrewdness, but Red Wolf is well known in the circle. Shen Nanpeng got the final qualification in the morning with a knife-fighting attitude, which made Wang Qiong, who had retreated, think more and more. Regretful, always felt that she missed the most delicious wave.
