Chapter 814 The hero of women's middle school Luo Xiyun (5000 word chapter) Today is fifteen thousan
"Tongtong, here's the freshly squeezed watermelon juice." Wang Qiong handed one of the red juices to Tongtong.
Then he handed the girl a glass of light yellow juice: "Girl, this is orange juice for you, try it and see if you like it."
"Thank you, Aunt Wang!" The girl immediately expressed her gratitude.
Tongtong also said with a smile: "Aunt Wang, I love you!"
The two little brats made Wang Qiong very happy.
Luo Xiyun also said thank you sheepishly. In today's serious occasion, the couple brought Yatou and Tongtong over. It was actually a bit inappropriate, but there was no way, no one would look after the children.
Many people in the venue still remember seeing Xia Zekai bringing these two girls here in the last round, and they are all used to it.
The organizers didn't come out to make any noise, and they didn't say anything else. Some people even looked at the two little girls and thought they were very cute and interesting. They even brought something to give them.
Yatou and Tongtong were so happy that they didn't know what to do...
After Xia Zekai came in, he scanned around and walked directly towards his wife.
Zhang Yiming thought for a while and followed behind.
"Zekai, there is no one left!" Luo Xiyun asked him.
Xia Zekai nodded: "It should be gone. Even if there is, we don't care about them. They don't have any sense of time, so they can't be great!"
"Then it's about to start?" Luo Xiyun asked.
Zhang Yiming next to him said: "Sister-in-law, the financing meeting will start soon."
Hearing what he said, Liang Tongshun and the four of them who were standing behind Luo Xiyun couldn't help but get excited. They had been looking forward to this scene for a long time. They thought that if they could see this once in their lives, this life would be enough!
Liang Tongshun and the others just saw Shen Nanpeng of Sequoia Capital, Kai-fu Lee of Innovation Works, and Chao Guowei of Sina. These are some of the most famous people in the current investment industry or the Internet industry. They are the kind of people who can
People who are often active on the Internet.
I never expected that when I followed Mr. Luo to the capital, I would meet such a 'big shot'.
We used to be separated by a screen, but now we are several meters apart, and we can see the muscles on the other person's face flexing when they smile.
No one paid attention to the time, and half an hour slipped away inadvertently. When Yu Shuping, the vice president of Beijing Yixing Technology Co., Ltd., stepped on the stage, it also heralded the official start of Yixing's Series C financing meeting.
Off the stage, Sina's Cao Guowei has a particularly complicated mind.
The executive from Yixing on the stage at this moment was once a handsome man under him. He single-handedly brought Weibo from scratch. With the development of more than a year, Weibo has become a very popular Sina website.
An important node, especially the existence of attracting volume, and the development of Weibo is still continuing some development ideas formulated by Yu Shuping.
This more and more highlights Yu Shuping's talent and importance, but he did not pay enough attention to it, allowing the talented people to leave. Even if he competes in the same industry, Yu Shuping can't do anything about it. Lao Yu no longer does Internet social networking!
What Cao Guowei didn't expect was that Yu Shuping was actually an individual shareholder of Etrip. In addition to him, Yang Bin, the editor-in-chief of Sina News Center, was also an individual shareholder of Etrip.
The last time he was defeated, he was shocked when he learned the result during the investigation.
"Dear friends who have come from afar, and all friends from the media here today, good morning!"
Accompanied by a burst of warm applause, Yu Shuping continued: "Today, the sixth day of April, is a good day to make money. This also indicates that all of us here will make a fortune today!"
Yu Shuping talked a lot. After finishing his polite words, he got down to the topic: "Now I announce that the C round financing of Jingcheng Yixing Technology Co., Ltd. has now officially begun!"
There was another burst of applause, and Yu Shuping finally said: "With even warmer applause, we invite Mr. Liang Rubo, the general manager and chairman of the company, to give a speech to everyone."
Watching Liang Rubo and Yu Shuping pass by each other and walk onto the stage, many people in the audience couldn't help but say in their hearts: "It's finally about to begin. I wonder what the value of Yixing is now?"
"I heard there are rumors in the market that Alibaba's boss Ma once obtained a lot of transferred old shares at a high valuation of 3.5 billion US dollars. I don't know if it is true?"
But people like Shen Nanpeng, Bao Fan, Xiao Min, Zhang Ying and others who had already entered the market were so happy that even if they couldn't follow in this round, they had already made a lot of the money they had invested in the previous round. .
They know better than those outside the market that market rumors are true.
"After two years of continuous progress and innovation, Jingcheng Yichu Technology Co., Ltd. has now developed into a comprehensive mobile application software that integrates driving, hailing, ride-hailing, and taxis. Our online driver registration The number of users has exceeded 70 million, the cumulative downloads of this product online have exceeded 700 million, and the number of daily active users has exceeded 150 million. This means that registered users of our platform can generate at least two jobs for our registered drivers every day. Order, this is a milestone for us."
"But this is not the end. We, Yichuxing Technology Co., Ltd., are still making progress. Now we have covered 50% of the driving market, and occupied more than 60% of the taxi and ride-hailing service market. I will always be that In a word, it’s good to travel or not to do it. To do it is to be the No. 1 in the industry.”
Thunderous applause sounded, and this time everyone present was excited. This is what they thought.
Undoubtedly, in every industry, only the number one ranking is the shining gold. How many people can remember which one is ranked second or third?
Ranking first also means greater potential market value, and it also means that the equity in their hands or the equity they are about to grab will be more valuable in the future!
The corner of Shen Nanpeng's mouth curled up slightly, revealing an incredible smile. He muttered: "I said that my eyesight has always been fine, and it is indeed the case!"
As if he had everything under control, everyone next to him sent a wave of rainbow farts.
After all, the name of Blood Wolf is not in vain!
But some people below have been twitching in their hearts. Liang Rubo emphasized over and over again on the stage what the market data of "it's good to travel" mean?
How much price do you want today? Can't you just tell me and it's over?
After finally waiting for Liang Rubo to finish speaking, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was finally over.
But who knew it wasn't over yet, Liang Rubo told a piece of news that made many people present feel like breathing was a burden, they were so tired!
"Everyone, I have also heard some rumors in the market recently. It has been rumored that Yichuxing has made two transactions with Director Ma of Alibaba and Director Wang of Haina Asia. I want to say... yes, this is true. , we closed the deal at the latest valuation of US$3.5 billion, I’m done!”
After Liang Rubo finished speaking, he walked steadily off the stage and came directly in the direction of Xia Zekai.
Yu Shuping nodded with Liang Rubo at the bottom of the stage, exchanged a look, and then went up with the wireless microphone.
He said: "Everyone, Mr. Liang has just introduced the company's specific operating conditions. If you have anything else you want to know, you can ask it and let me answer it for you. If I can't answer it, you can also ask me.
Please, Mr. Liang, please reintroduce me to everyone."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd below asked a question: "Mr. Yu, we have a very clear understanding of the operating conditions and market conditions of Yixing Technology Co., Ltd. I would like to ask what kind of measures Yixing will adopt this time."
What is the quotation method? How much is expected to be raised?”
“What positioning does it have for our investors?”
This is a real issue. Many investors at the scene are concerned about this issue. After listening to what he said, others stopped talking. Everyone present became quiet.
This question also goes straight to the topic. The meaning is obvious. They all have pricing for Yichuang in mind, but they don’t know what Jingcheng Yichu Technology Co., Ltd. thinks.
Yu Shuping said with a smile: "This friend asked a good question. We will adopt the method of on-site quotation this time. We will only reserve 8 reserved places in the first round. After the second round, we will retain no more than 5 investors.
It doesn’t count.”
"As for the total amount of financing, the higher the better. Yixing now needs to continue to invest more funds to develop a larger market, and the daily capital consumption is an astronomical figure."
Hearing Liang Rubo say, "Those who follow the investment are not counted," most of the people present breathed a sigh of relief.
They all knew that if those who followed the investment were included in the final five places, then most of them would give up the idea.
"Thank you, Mr. Yu, for your answer. I have no other questions." said the friend who asked the question just now.
Yu Shuping asked around again, but no one asked questions this time. It also means that they have accepted Yichuxing's current market positioning. Compared with the last round of Alibaba and private G's quotations for Yichuxing, it will be up to them what they can do next.
What price was given?
The most unsettling thing is that this time there was no secret bidding or bidding, but on-site bidding, which made people feel uncomfortable. Yixing made it clear that they wanted to call for more.
High price comes out.
To put it bluntly, Yixing is not short of resources but money!
This time Liang Rubo made his purpose clear and outright, I just want money!
Two young long-legged girls in knee-length skirts walked onto the stage to help calculate the prices.
After the scene was silent for a full two minutes, a woman's price call suddenly broke, breaking the contemplative atmosphere of the scene, and she directly raised the price of the trip to a new level.
"Kayun Investment, the quoted price is US$4.5 billion." Luo Xiyun simply raised the price by US$1 billion based on the 'just confirmed market rumors'.
She knew in her heart that this was an opportunity for Kaiyun Investment. When no one else said anything, Kaiyun Investment was the first to stand up, which further highlighted Kaiyun Investment's confidence and strength.
At this time, the four words "Kayun Investment" were indeed remembered by most people present.
Liang Tongshun, Song Jinpeng, Wang Fang and Sun Yuping, who were standing behind Luo Xiyun, all felt like they were suffocating. That was 4.5 billion U.S. dollars. According to the current exchange rate of U.S. dollars to RMB 6.4988, this was equivalent to more than 29.2 billion RMB.
,Mr. Luo, are you sure this is not a joke?
In fact, Alibaba's last market valuation of US$3.5 billion for Yixing was already overestimated, but there is no way to do it. When you meet Xia Zekai, an old man who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't spread hawks, you offer a low price, and he won't accept it at all.
.
But if we expect this round of financing to multiply the price several times, it is simply impossible.
Everyone else present was thinking about how much more appropriate price increase should be made so that they would not lose too much. Taking advantage of this gap, Luo Xiyun took advantage of the concept of "when my sister comes, I will hear the sound, and when she leaves again".
It suddenly emerged, demonstrated its strength, and directly raised the price by one billion US dollars, which suddenly disrupted the established rhythm of many people present.
Even Wang Qiong, who was standing not far from them, was stunned. What does this mean?
Why is Miss Luo still bidding?
Wang Qiong's first reaction was to look at Xia Zekai. In her heart, Xia Zekai, a birdman, had never left a good impression on her.
What else is Xia Zekai doing?
But the people present did not allow her time to think. After Luo Xiyun made a bad start, the second quotation came immediately.
Li Yuanzhu of Inno Angel Fund had missed the dark horse last time. This time she would not give up at all. She then shouted out a new offer: "Inno Angel Fund, 4.68 billion U.S. dollars."
The price is reasonable, not too high, but not low either.
It is obviously unrealistic to expect an offer of tens of billions of dollars.
But as soon as Li Yuanzhu finished bidding, a newly joined consortium immediately followed the quotation: "Tema color k is quoted at 4.8 billion US dollars."
This is an investment company headquartered in Singapore, called Temasek in Chinese. Its investments cover various aspects such as telecommunications, media and technology, financial services, transportation and industry, life sciences and comprehensive agriculture.
The total investment value of this portfolio has reached more than 30 billion Singapore dollars, which is equivalent to nearly 130 billion yuan when converted into RMB. It can be called a very powerful investment company.
Hearing that the person in charge of Temasek had raised the price to US$4.8 billion, some of the weak people present felt a little trembling in their hearts. If the fight continued like this, when would it end?
But this is not over yet. Some people are still quoting: "DST quoted US$5 billion."
It is also a very powerful foreign investment company.
Xia Zekai was in a daze when he heard the name. He remembered that DST had also invested in Toutiao and made a lot of money.
Unexpectedly, it was still not a wolf's nature to eat meat. When it came out of the ice and snow, it smelled the big fat meat of Yi Xing again.
The quotations are still going up, but the added price is not much.
The rumored market capitalization of US$3.5 billion has already screened out many people.
In the first round, 8 companies were shortlisted, and in the second round, 5 companies were finally selected. This fixed number eliminated a large number of people.
Those who think they are not strong enough actually don’t dare to speak at this time.
This is also the tragedy of small capital. No matter how well prepared they are, every time they arrive at the scene, they find that there is a big gap between the facts and what they thought, and they have to accompany them.
But people like Liang Rubo, Zhang Yiming, Xia Zekai, Yang Bin, and Yu Shuping off the stage were very happy. They hoped that the higher the quotation of Yixing in this round, the better.
But I also know in my heart that travel is not for sale, but there is always a price limit!
The quotations continued to rise. Chen Hong from Tiger Fund even offered a high price of US$5.3 billion. Even the newly established Tencent Investment came and quoted US$5.34 billion.
The people under Xiao Ma's team did not dare to quote a high price. Tencent has not been doing very well in the past two years. It just has some extra money on hand, but it is not a lot.
They are more willing to invest valuable funds in some companies with potential but low prices, so that they will have more say.
Like the current situation of Yixing, their right to speak after entering is ineffective, that is, they are just investing, with the idea of making three shots if there is no date.
As time goes by, more and more capital parties have given new quotations, and the prices quoted have become higher and higher each time, even exceeding 5.7 billion US dollars at one time. By this time, it has become increasingly difficult to bid again.
.
No matter who has money in their pocket, they will also consider whether it is worth continuing to invest in "Easy Travel".
But at this time, someone just came with the determination of "must invest". Once again, when everyone was stunned, Luo Xiyun shouted: "Kaiyun Investment, the price is 6 billion US dollars."
A new high!
For a moment, the entire audience was in an uproar. The difference between the previous offer of US$5.7 billion and the US$6 billion offer was only 300 million, which represented completely different meanings.
At this time, neither Shen Nanpeng, Wang Qiong, Temasek, DST, Chao Guowei, Cao Yi, Li Kaifu, etc. did not know what to say.
Many of them looked at Xia Zekai and Liang Rubo, who looked indifferent next to Luo Xiyun, and wondered in their hearts whether this quotation was the intention of the two old men, or was it simply a quotation from 'Kaiyun Investment'?
And who is this ‘Kayun Investment’, and why have I never heard of it before?
If it was a newly opened capital party, how could it have the confidence to propose such a high offer?
This is a full 80% increase compared to market rumors and is about to double. The market valuation of Keyi Travel during the B round of financing was only US$800 million. In less than a year, the market valuation of the C round has increased nearly 7 times. Tianfang
Night story!
As the chairman and legal representative of Yixing, Liang Rubo was a little nervous. He really didn't expect his sister-in-law to be so courageous.
This is more than just a promise, this is simply a must-win!
This is what a hero among women should be like!
Wang Qiong took a deep breath. She looked at Luo Xiyun, who looked calm after calling out the quotation, and felt very complicated. This girl was really not Wu Xia Ameng.
She has grown up.
Even Xia Zekai didn't expect that his wife was so powerful. She always came out at critical moments and firmly engraved the words 'Kayun Investment' in the hearts of everyone in Zaicheng.
He knows that no one dares to ignore this name anymore!
