Chapter 762 The value has multiplied 6 times (5200 characters chapter) 1200 months
"Brother Xia, how are you lately? I was just thinking about calling you, so you called me." Liang Rubo was very happy.
Xia Zekai chuckled and said: "I'm okay, I'm still like that, it's nothing serious, I just mess around all day."
"Rubo, we haven't contacted each other for a while, how are you doing lately?" Xia Zekai asked him.
"Brother Xia, I'm doing fine. It's just that the company has been spending too much money recently. I'm so worried that I can't sleep every day." Liang Rubo told him about this matter smoothly.
Xia Zekai understood it as soon as he heard it and asked him: "There is no money in the company?"
Liang Rubo didn't hide anything from him. He said 'hmm' and said, "I'm a little nervous. I originally planned to tell you about this situation..."
He said: "It turns out that when Yixing only provides driving services, it only subsidizes that part of the driving service drivers and users. The money raised last time can be used for a while longer."
"But after the 'taxi-hailing' function was launched later, Yixing's taxi-hailing became more popular in the market than expected, and its market share was also very high. Users felt that using this to hail a taxi at home was more convenient than going out to wait for a taxi. Registered drivers felt that
You can also earn some extra pocket money by using our product. The number of users on both sides has doubled in a short period of time, and more and more money has been spent. Now there is not much money left."
After Xia Zekai heard what he said, he said directly: "Ru Bo, this is a good thing. I hope the money can be spent as quickly as possible."
"Brother Xia, in fact, we are spending money very quickly. It has not been a year since the last financing, and the nearly 700 million raised funds are about to bottom out." Liang Rubo said.
Xia Zekai thought for a while and asked him: "I remember that the last financing was in August last year. Am I remembering it correctly?"
"Yes, it's August. Counting this month is less than 8 months, the average monthly expenditure is more than 80 million, which is more ruthless than Meituan last year." Liang Rubo knows these data well.
When he said this, he didn't know what he thought of and laughed.
Xia Zekai also laughed along with "Haha". He said: "Doesn't this mean that our value is greater than that of Meituan? How much money is left on the account and how long can it last? If it doesn't work, tell others and hurry up and start.
Next round of financing.”
"Okay, I will send them an email later to explain the situation." Liang Rubo said.
He was also unambiguous at critical moments.
Only then did he remember to ask: "Brother Xia, did you call me for anything else?"
"If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot. Rubo, do you still remember the last time you told me that Alibaba B2B was going to be delisted from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Liang Rubo must have remembered this. At that time, they heard about this not long after they exchanged equity with Alibaba's Taobao mall.
He was quite nervous at the time and didn't know what Brother Xia meant by asking him about this matter at this time.
Before he could ask clearly, he heard Xia Zekai say: "Jack Ma just called me to borrow money."
Liang Rubo reacted immediately and asked: "Brother Xia, so the news released in the market before is true?"
"Yes, it's true." Xia Zekai didn't hide it.
"Then can we take a chance..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xia Zekai stopped him: "Rubo, what are you thinking? Lao Ma knows that the news has been released and still insists on doing so. That must have a bigger strategic plan for him."
"Rubo, one more thing. We are still shareholders of Taobao Mall. Fishing in troubled waters at this time will not only make little money, but also easily offend others, and it will not maximize our interests. The situation will be small."
After Liang Rubo just heard Xia Zekai confirm the authenticity of the news, he was indeed a little excited.
Last time, he, Xia Zekai and Zhang Yiming sold Wang Qiong's 1% of Yixing shares, and each of them made a fortune. He still had 200 million in cash that he had not used!
If it really worked, he wouldn't mind investing a fortune and making some money.
But after he heard what Xia Zekai said, he gave up the idea: "Brother Xia, don't worry, I will definitely not do this."
"Rubo, if you really want to invest, I can introduce you to two good places to invest," Xia Zekai said.
Liang Rubo was very convinced of Xia Zekai, and he said directly: "Brother Xia, please speak."
"One is that if you continue to invest when Yichuxing is raising funds, for now, Yichuang will have a promising future."
"Another thing is that Lao Ma asked me to borrow money, but I really don't have that much money on hand. If you have no place to invest, you can lend it to him, but you must make it clear to him that you will only exchange for equity."
At this point, Xia Zekai said another sentence: "I have been thinking about Lao Ma's purpose of delisting the B2B business from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange."
As expected, Liang Rubo's interest was aroused, and he subconsciously asked: "Brother Xia, why do you think he would do this?"
In his mind, Xia Zekai was very powerful, and he seemed to know everything like a god.
It also gave him the feeling of a 'living Zhuge', as if he had everything under his control.
Xia Zekai paused for a while and then said: "If my guess is correct, his ultimate goal should be to prepare for the listing of Alibaba as a whole, but there is one thing I haven't figured out yet."
"Alibaba Group?" Liang Rubo asked subconsciously.
In the past, Liang Rubo also thought that the "Alibaba B2B business" listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was all of Ali. At that time, not only him, but also many people thought that the listed company with a market value of more than 10 billion US dollars was "Alibaba". At that time,
With this market value, Alibaba ranks third among listed Internet companies.
But after meeting Xia Zekai, he realized how naive his previous thoughts were.
After the last evaluation of Taobao Mall's assets, he once again realized how ridiculous his previous understanding was.
It's no better than being a frog in a well.
To put it bluntly, Alibaba is as big a company as Baidu.
Even from a certain perspective, Liang Rubo believes that it has more potential than Baidu.
It was also at that time that he realized how wise Brother Xia was when he agreed to Ma Yun's equity swap, but he kept asking for the equity swap in 'Taobao Mall' instead of swapping the equity in the so-called 'Alibaba B2B business'.
Look, B2B is going to be delisted.
Xia Zekai said 'hmm' and said, "Yes, if I predict correctly, Lao Ma will push Alibaba to go public as a whole."
"But he must have other purposes, I haven't thought of it yet."
"Ru Bo, this opportunity is rare. If you really want to invest and there is no better investment project, I suggest you lend the money to Boss Ma and ask him for equity. If he doesn't give it, you can directly
When traveling for the next round of financing, just follow Touyi Travel." Xia Zekai said.
He was really nice to Liang Rubo.
Liang Rubo also knew this in his heart. He was only grateful and grateful to Xia Zekai: "Brother Xia, I understand."
"Well, when do you plan to raise funds?" Xia Zekai asked him.
"Probably next month, I will send them an email shortly to inform them, and we will discuss it together," Liang Rubo said.
He said: "I am taking advantage of this month to sort out the materials on Yitrip and strive to create a higher 'consensus' on Yitrip this time. It must be worthy of its own value."
Xia Zekai had no objection to the time, and the two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.
He was not done yet, so he called Zhang Yiming again and told him that Lao Ma wanted to borrow money.
"Brother Xia, the research on Toutiao has reached a critical moment, and I may not be able to escape recently." Zhang Yiming said euphemistically.
But the meaning behind his words was also clear. He was not interested in Lao Ma borrowing money, but he was full of interest in this new mobile product temporarily named 'Today's Toutiao'. He was even a little obsessed with it.
I am full of confidence in this product and I am very optimistic about its future.
The two of them did not discuss Alibaba's issues in depth. Xia Zekai mentioned the financing of Yitrip. Zhang Yiming said: "Brother Xia, I know about this. I was having dinner with Lao Liang a few days ago.
, he told me that Yixing’s funds are about to bottom out, and it won’t be possible without financing.”
Speaking of this, he was also very envious. He said, "It would be great if Toutiao could be like this in the future."
"No, you don't have to spend 700 million in 8 months. Even if you spend 600 million a year like Meituan, it will be fine. At least it proves that my thinking is right." Zhang Yiming said this.
Xia Zekai was in a daze. He realized that Zhang Yiming might still be a little bit worried about breaking up with Wang Xing. He had not given up on competing with 'Wang Xing', but he had just changed his approach.
The next moment, he said to Zhang Yiming: "Yiming, do you believe me?"
"Xia, Brother Xia, what do you want to say?" Zhang Yiming was quite happy.
Just like Liang Rubo trusted Xia Zekai, Zhang Yiming also trusted Xia Zekai unconditionally.
In his impression, after meeting Xia Zekai, Xia Zekai led him to do projects and make money, and he never said which project had deceived him.
Even at the original Jiujiufang, when Xia Zekai was clearing out his shares in Jiujiufang, he had a private chat with him and advised him to sell off part of his shares first.
It's a pity that he didn't listen to half of it.
The final facts proved that Xia Zekai's vision is still as accurate as ever!
Xia Zekai didn't expect that he would say this. This feeling of being trusted made him feel good, and then said: "Yiming, since you believe me, let me tell you, your core theory of 'Today's Toutiao' is very
Well, even the Jiujiu Fang you did before is incomparable. Jiujiu Fang itself has its limitations, but 'Toutiao' has no limitations."
"As long as you follow your core theory and build this platform, you can do whatever you want with traffic in the later period. By that time, Meituan will not be able to compare with it, and even Yichu, Baidu will
There is no comparison, do you believe it or not?"
"(⊙o⊙)" Zhang Yiming's eyes widened and he forgot to close his mouth. He was so surprised when he suddenly heard this statement.
He never expected that Brother Xia would have such great expectations for him and ‘Today’s Toutiao’, which made him a little panicked, fearing that if he did something wrong, he would fail to live up to Brother Xia’s expectations.
There wasn't that much pressure originally, but now I suddenly feel the pressure on my shoulders is even greater.
Zhang Yiming changed the topic abruptly and said: "Brother Xia, when Yixing raises its next round of financing, I plan to invest a little more."
"Okay, I would also advise Ru Bo to invest some more, but it doesn't need to be too much. It depends on your own financial situation." Xia Zekai said.
"Brother Xia, are you still following the investment?" Zhang Yiming asked him.
Xia Zekai felt a little embarrassed when he heard him ask this. He had no funds on hand.
Two hundred million was invested in Kelan shares, and the remaining one hundred million was given to his wife. The other funds were all in the company account, and he had no plans to get them out for the time being. The tax alone was like a knife in his body.
He thought that he might as well continue investing and the money would just roll in.
…
Jingtong Development Co., Ltd., in Xia Zekai's office.
He threw his mobile phone, whose battery was a little hot after long calls, on the table. Thinking about the information he had just communicated with Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo, he felt very emotional. Everyone was growing up rapidly, which made him very sad.
Glad.
But in this life, the two of them are his 'little brothers' who have been brought up by themselves. This sense of accomplishment makes Xia Zekai burst into laughter.
It's just that Liang Rubo is now completely crooked. He has gone further and further in the development of the "Yixing" platform, which is contrary to Liang Rubo's achievements in his previous life.
I don’t know who the next father of Douyin will be?
But having said that, whoever loves him, he just wants Liang Rubo to make the "good travel" product.
"It's better to take a taxi when traveling!" Xia Zekai muttered this name.
The next moment, he turned on the computer and entered the four words "Didi Taxi". There was no relevant information about "Didi Taxi" on the Internet.
In other words, the "Didi Taxi" in this life has either not yet been born, or its bones were crushed at the beginning of its birth and no longer exists.
As long as you enter the words 'driver' or 'taxi', most of the link information that comes out is for travel, and a small number of them are niche platforms such as E-driver, love drive and so on. If you look carefully, you will find the frequency of travel-ready.
Too high.
How can it be that half of the chauffeur market is in vain?
In addition, Yi Travel made a unique move and launched a "taxi-hailing" service, which really caught the market off guard.
When he searched on Baidu just now, he found that there was not much information on other 'taxi-hailing' software on the market, which also meant that others had not yet reacted, leaving Yichuxing with a perfect time lag.
"I have to work hard, otherwise I really won't be able to keep up." Xia Zekai clenched his fists. Whether it was Zhang Yiming or Liang Rubo, their development speed was very fast, and the attributes of Internet companies also proved that as long as they survive the pregnancy
During this period, the subsequent growth will be faster and faster, which cannot be compared with physical enterprises.
When he thought of this, he felt a lot of pressure on him. Could it be that the 'little brother' who was leading him with one hand had to overtake him?
That won't work!
…
"Mr. Luo, this is the purchase list I just compiled. They are all office supplies we need to buy. I also negotiated the price with the supplier. It will be much cheaper if purchased in bulk. Please take a look first." Li Jing
He put the paper report in front of Luo Xiyun.
She is the specialist in charge of procurement at Kaiyun Investment and was hired last month.
When she first joined Kaiyun Investment Co., Ltd., she learned that the company had not been renovated yet, and she once wondered if she had made a mistake.
But as she learned more and more about the company, she gradually discovered some things that surprised her.
The company's registered capital of 100 million is really not a waste of money.
After knowing this, many of the remaining 'doubts' become logical.
One day, Li Jing saw a wedding photo of her boss and a man on her boss's desk. Then she discovered something else: that man turned out to be one of the "Top Ten Outstanding Entrepreneurs" in Qicheng.
What are the top ten business figures in the local area?
what does that mean?
This is strength!
Since then, Li Jing has been very diligent in her work.
Luo Xiyun looked at the purchase list. She checked the prices and found that they were indeed not high.
"Okay, let's do this. These notebooks, gel pens and other office stationery consumables can be purchased first. Later, when the company's decoration is completed, computers, filing cabinets, office desks, chairs and other supplies can be purchased.
The purchases are complete," Luo Xiyun said.
"Mr. Luo, I understand." After Li Jing finished speaking, she returned to her workstation.
This is an office space rented temporarily by Luo Xiyun, an open office area.
Although it is a short-term rental, Luo Xiyun is very particular. The environment here is very good and clean, and it is right next to a company that is being renovated.
The rent is not cheap.
At first, Sun Yuping thought the boss was a bit wasteful, but it was indeed very comfortable and pleasing to the eye.
In addition, the boss is not short of money, so Sun Yuping will not say anything else.
After Li Jing went out, Luo Xiyun opened his laptop again and started his transaction.
She is still buying Bitcoin recently, but the price of Bitcoin has risen a lot since the beginning of this year. After several months of deliberation, in April.
The price of one Bitcoin has exceeded 2 US dollars, which is more than 6 times higher than at the beginning of the year. During this period, the total number of Bitcoins held by Luo Xiyun has reached 9,358, and she is ready to buy some more.
Collect 10,000 pieces and then stop buying them and continue to observe the speculation in the market.
From the continuous buying over the past few months, Luo Xiyun has discovered some clues of the market speculation on Bitcoin. In other words, combined with the theoretical knowledge from a large number of books she has read, she already has some experience in capital speculation.
"It's a pity that the price has risen so fast. This thing is really incredible." Luo Xiyun was particularly surprised. I'm afraid buying stocks can't add value as fast as this. It goes up when it goes up, and goes down when it goes down. If you don't observe it for a long time, you can't be sure at all.
its path.
Even after long-term observation, Luo Xiyun often made mistakes.
Just as she was thinking about things, she noticed that another large order of 136 Bitcoins had appeared on the platform. Luo Xiyun’s order-taking speed that she had developed in the past few months made her several times faster than others, and she was ahead of many Bitcoin players across the country.
The 136 Bitcoins were collected, and the money was directly transferred to the other party's Alipay account through Alipay.
