The quotation of US$6 billion directly broke some people's psychological expectations, equivalent to RMB 38.99 billion, which is not a small amount of money.
If this market value is realized, according to the current market value rankings of listed Internet companies, Tencent Holdings ranks first with a market value of US$49.797 billion.
Ranked second is Baidu with a market value of US$42 billion, followed by Alibaba's B2B listed business segment with a market value of US$7.9 billion.
From here we can see how awesome Alibaba is. If it delists its B2B business segment from the Hong Kong stock market and then lists it as a whole, according to the analysis of some relevant personnel, it will be very simple for its market value to surpass Baidu. Can it surpass Tencent?
It is still an unknown quantity for the time being.
The next companies ranked fourth and fifth in terms of market value are Ctrip and Sina respectively, with market values of around US$5.9 billion.
One place further down, NetEase ranks sixth with a market capitalization of US$5.5 billion.
From here we know that once the US$6 billion quotation from Kaiyun Investment is confirmed, Yitrip will break into the top five Internet companies in terms of market value this year as an Internet company that has not yet been listed.
No one else followed the quotation, and the price had already broken through the upper limit of what they could accept.
Judging from the current situation of Yitrip, this quotation has reached a staged price ceiling...
The scene was a little cold for a while. When Yu Shuping saw this situation, he exchanged a look with Liang Rubo, walked onto the stage, and asked: "Are there any other quotes?"
"Are there any higher offers?"
"If there is no higher offer, the first round of offers will end here."
Yu Shuping asked three times in a row, but no one responded. He said: "Dear friends, the first phase of today's quotations ends here."
Then, he turned to look at the two young girls behind him and said: "Xiaotian, Xiaoshang, you two sort out the list of quotations from high to low, and announce the top eight with the highest quotations."
"Mr. Yu, please wait a moment." The girl named Tian Xinxin responded, and she and her colleagues sorted out the quotations just now.
The top eight finalists are Kaiyun Investment, Inno Angel Fund, Temasek, Tencent Investment, DST, Sina Fund, Ping An Innovation Capital, and Sequoia Capital.
The rest, including Haina Asia, gave up on this financing round.
There is no way, the price is too high. The market value of an Internet application company that has not yet been listed will exceed that of an Internet company that has been listed for many years, and it will enter the top five at any time. This result is unacceptable to many people.
The funds in my pocket cannot support such a large-scale expenditure.
But there are still people who buy into it. For example, Li Yuanzhu of Inno Angel Fund is very determined in this round and must take part of it.
Li Yuanzhu's quotation has always been very high. She is not afraid of spending money, but she is afraid of missing out on Yixing again. She always feels that the market value of Yixing is far more than 6 billion US dollars.
She feels that the market in the later period is promising and the future prospects are bright. After all, this is something that most people use when traveling, not something that is optional.
In Li Yuanzhu's view, if anyone can be involved in the four major categories of food, clothing, housing and transportation and have huge traffic involved, then its value must be an astronomical figure.
Moreover, Li Yuanzhu has always felt that the so-called "profit points" currently developed by Yixing are only superficial things. If we dig deeper into this market in the future, there will inevitably be greater profit margins. Everything has just begun.
After announcing the result, other investors all found a place to rest. Juice, snacks, and fruits were prepared in advance in the hall to eat and drink.
At this time, Tongtong saw many people going to get food and drinks. She became anxious, fearing that these people would not leave anything for her, so she tried hard to break free from her mother's hand and ran over there.
But before she could run over, her collar was grabbed by another hand. Tongtong looked back and saw that it was still her mother Luo Xiyun. She shouted: "Mom, please let me go quickly. There will be no more delicious food."
Already."
"If not, then there won't be. Why haven't you eaten enough?" Luo Xiyun said to him.
The little kid was not happy anymore and said, "You haven't eaten enough, I just went to take a look."
"Oh, go and have a look. If you don't want to eat, what are you going to see?" Luo Xiyun asked her.
Tongtong immediately stopped talking, pursed her lips, and glared at her mother, looking bitter and resentful.
It made Xia Zekai and several other people around him want to laugh.
Yixing Technology Co., Ltd. soon entered the second round of financing.
The eight investment companies that had just announced their results were all called to the conference room, and Luo Xiyun, as the representative of Kaiyun Investment, also entered.
Xia Zekai didn't go there anymore. He just watched Yatou and Tongtong outside, and even got together with Zhang Yiming, Wang Qiong and others, chatting.
Speaking of the quotation just now, Zhang Yiming fell into deep thought again. He was wondering whether Toutiao could reach this point?
He finds it difficult!
Moreover, Yixing’s current market value has far surpassed that of Meituan, and even dropped it by a large margin. Zhang Yiming feels very sad now.
"Brother Xia, let's go for a walk?" Zhang Yiming asked him.
Xia Zekai held the girl's hand with one hand and Tongtong with the other, and said, "Let's go, they won't decide how long it will take yet, let's go out for a walk first."
They were walking outside together, talking about the current wave of financing for Yi Travel. Even if they didn't know the final result of the second wave, the quotation session just now shocked everyone present.
Some of the media people who came to the scene today began to write articles frantically, and they were all racing against time, thinking who would send out the article first later to grab a wave of popularity.
At today's C-round financing meeting of Yixing, the first one that attracted the limelight was undoubtedly Kaiyun Investment, and the person who called out the quotation twice was a woman, which is even more selling point.
These media people don't know who Luo Xiyun is, but they know that Luo Xiyun must be a character in the future.
“A mysterious rich woman suddenly appeared at the C-round financing meeting of Yixing…”
Titles like this have already begun to brew in the heads of various media people. It is very simple to write an emotional and fast-paced article around this kind of title.
…
In the conference room, Liang Rubo and Yu Shuping both entered, and the other eight top capital investors also came in. After they sat down, most people looked at Luo Xiyun. Anyone who knew her was at this moment.
Said a friendly hello.
It's just that they still haven't figured out whether this 'Kayun Investment' was controlled by Xia Zekai behind the scenes, or was it simply created by Luo Xiyun?
But no matter what, people like Shen Nanpeng and Yu Shuping knew in their hearts that this face must be given today.
The second round of quotations was complex but not complicated, and I still gave my own psychological price. However, at this time, including Liang Rubo, everyone knew that the market valuation of Yixing in this round would be difficult to exceed 6 billion US dollars.
However, in this round of quotations, Luo Xiyun still insisted on bidding 6 billion US dollars. It didn't matter whether she could get it into Chengdu or not. She had a second way.
If she loses the election, she can get some shares from her husband to show off her appearance.
But others didn't know her arrangement, and they all admired that Boss Xia was indeed a rich man.
His wife can be so willful!
In the end, Sina Fund led by Cao Guowei reluctantly gave up this round.
He made some calculations and found that Weibo would have to spend money in many places, and Sina couldn't spare so much money to invest in Yixing.
In addition, Sequoia Capital, as the follow-up investment in this round, does not count as a quota. In this way, after eliminating Tencent Investment, there will be five investors in this round.
They are Kaiyun Investment, Inno Angel Fund, Temasek, DST and Ping An Innovation Capital.
In the end, Liang Rubo and five capital parties reached an agreement, and the market valuation acceptable to both parties was US$5.76 billion, equivalent to RMB 37.433 billion.
In this way, Yitrip has become the sixth-highest market value among Internet companies after Ctrip and Sina.
After the price came out, Yichuxing issued an additional 15 million shares, and the actual funds raised were as high as US$909 million.
In the end, people outside only know that Yitrip Technology Co., Ltd. has raised a huge amount of more than 900 million US dollars this time. This money is mainly used to develop the vertical development of Yitrip's driving and taxi functions, and to refine and deepen the field.
However, the details of who contributed how much money and how many shares they got have not been exposed by Beijing Yixing Technology Co., Ltd., and no one knows how many shares each investor in Yixing holds and how much their net worth has increased. .
But there is no doubt that Jingcheng Yixing Technology Co., Ltd. has become the most popular Internet company in the past two years.
After the result was announced, the outside world wrote a lot about it, describing it in all its glory, and the atmosphere was very strong.
But after other Internet companies outside saw that Yixing had raised more than 900 million U.S. dollars in Series C, they had no intention of complaining.
They know better than the people who eat melons that if you can get this money when traveling, you must have something. If there is no connotation at all, you will just tell the story and you will not be able to get so much money.
It would be a lie to say that I am not envious.
Xia Zekai took his two daughters and Zhang Yiming for a walk outside. The two had a good chat for a while. Most of the time, Xia Zekai guided Zhang Yiming.
After Zhang Yiming's thoughts were clear, they returned to the financing venue of the Golden Kelly Hotel.
Luo Xiyun, Liang Rubo, and Shen Nanpeng have all discussed it, and the eliminated Tencent Investment and Sina Fund seem to be fine.
Yixing's current scale is large enough for them to respect, especially after this round of financing is completed, Sina's market value will not be much different from that of Yixing.
In terms of its potential, Cao Guowei has to admit that Sina is still not as good as Yitrip.
I felt an inexplicable sadness in my heart, especially since Sina was founded 13 years ago and Kei Travel has only been around for two years!
The new and young family of Duoduo was stunned to get rid of this old guy Sina.
Next, Yitrip prepared a celebration banquet, not only to thank all the capital investors and media friends who came this time, but also to celebrate the successful financing of Beijing Yitrip Technology Co., Ltd.
After the celebration banquet, the news that the Series C financing of ‘Yixing’ was a great success, raising more than 900 million U.S. dollars, immediately began to spread wildly on the Internet.
Along with the news of Kaiyun Investment’s successful Series C financing of ‘Yixing’, it has also spread to every corner of the Internet world.
In the next few days, netizens turned on their computers and as soon as they went online, news about "Yixing"'s financing of US$900 million would pop up. Among them, there were also people arranged by Liang Rubo who were behind this, which was equivalent to taking advantage of this craze to hit the entire Internet.
A well-known advertisement.
And it also saves a huge amount of advertising fees.
When this matter was reported back to Qicheng Kaiyun Investment Co., Ltd. through Liang Tongshun, Song Jinpeng, Wang Fang and Sun Yuping, the people on duty in the company heard about it and started reveling on the spot, celebrating in their own way.
The company has achieved such great success.
Their company has become a shareholder of "Yixing". No matter how many shares they hold, the fact of being a shareholder cannot be changed.
When this news spread on the Internet, it was also seen by some people in Qicheng.
For example, Qi Jiahui, Pan Qin, Wang Hongsheng and others.
For example, some old colleagues from Qicheng Aidili Co., Ltd. thought they had read the wrong information when they saw the familiar person in the photo attached to the Internet.
But after checking again, I found that she was Luo Xiyun.
So what's going on with Kaiyun Investment?
Putting aside these doubts, when these people went online and saw that 'Yixing' successfully raised more than 900 million US dollars, and the highest bid on the spot was 'Kayun Investment', this fact made many of Luo Xiyun's old colleagues and friends
While we felt particularly shocked, we also felt particularly proud.
They thought to themselves, I actually know such an awesome person, I used to be a colleague who worked together, and we were good friends who went shopping together to buy clothes and cosmetics!
…
Let's say that Xia Weicheng and Zhou Yinghong took their old father Xia Shande out for a whole week before returning to Xiazhuang.
During this period of time, they had no clear purpose and visited three or four surrounding cities, and finally went to Mount Tai. Xia Weicheng and Zhou Yinghong wanted to take their old father to climb Mount Tai, but when they reached the foot of the mountain, they climbed up.
After ten minutes, they retreated.
It's not that there are too many people to squeeze in, but people with old arms and legs who have been doing farm work all their lives have not done any serious exercise at all and have not climbed mountains much. After climbing one step at a time, they realize that climbing the mountain is far away.
It's worse than working.
In addition, it was even more inconvenient for Xia Shande to move. In the end, he failed to realize his idea of climbing Mount Tai and retreated back to where he was.
They went to look around the surrounding areas.
Xia Shande has been very satisfied these days. Thinking about having this kind of treatment when he gets old, he no longer has any regrets in his heart.
There is no need to worry about money, they will buy whatever is new and want to eat when they are walking around.
However, there are also embarrassing aspects. Xia Weicheng and Zhou Yinghong don't look at people who are almost sixty years old. Before their son became successful, they rarely went out in their hometown. After arriving in a new city, they were particularly unfamiliar with the place.
Although they belong to the same province, some urban dialects cannot be understood at all, and they cannot speak Mandarin, making communication difficult.
But after returning to Xiazhuang, all this was thrown out of the window.
When the people in Xiazhuang saw them coming back, they all came over curiously to visit them.
Most of them are people who have never been out of the city. Those who go to the city occasionally, mostly go to the hospital. They have to work on those acres of crops all day long. Their spending power is there. It is impossible for them to travel.
After seeing Xia Weicheng and Zhou Yinghong, they kept asking how the "travel" was, whether it was fun, and where they went.
Did you eat anything good?
Some older people asked Xia Shande how they felt after walking around outside.
Xia Shande always said cheerfully: "It's very good. If you have the chance, go out and have a look."
But Xia Shande also knew that he was just saying this politely, and it was almost impossible for old guys like Xiazhuang to travel.
"Brother Shande, don't be ridiculous. Our grandson can't be counted on. My son works on those acres of land every day. He has no problem eating. He can barely scratch his head when doing anything important. Where can he go to play?" someone said.
This was the truth. Xia Shande thought that if his grandson hadn't opened a factory and made a fortune outside, he might have died long ago.
After spending hundreds of thousands on esophageal cancer, Xia Shande knew that there might not be another family in Xiazhuang who was willing to spend so much money on treatment like him.
"It's okay to look at the Yellow River. I also went to see the mouth of the Yellow River. Oh, so impressive!"
If you don’t understand it, you have no impression at all.
"Brother Shande, you are so lucky." An old man said.
He was envious, but he couldn't help it, the conditions at home were like that.
Xia Shande also understood that this topic should not be discussed. He asked his son Xia Weicheng to make a pot of tea, and a group of old friends slowly drank tea and started discussing.
An old man said: "Brother Shande, we have lived like this all our lives. No matter how old we are, there will be no changes. But our young children in Xiazhuang cannot live their lives in such a muddle-headed way."
Xia Shande is also a master of aging. He looked at the old man who spoke with a smile and waited for him to finish speaking.
The old man who just spoke continued: "Brother Shande, we are almost half buried in the ground, and our abilities are only so great. But your grandson Zekai is very capable. Zekai is doing well outside. See what you can do."
You can't just say a few words of help for the sake of the old brothers. I don't ask for anything else, just give me some guidance so that these poor children in our village can find a way out."
"It's just that you can't earn a few hundred yuan from cultivating an acre of land, and you can barely make enough to eat and drink at the end of a year. We can't let our grandchildren follow our old path again," another old man said.
Xia Shande said: "Then tell me, what can you do?"
"Our Zekai's factory is in Qicheng. At most, he can only recruit some people from our village. He may not be able to make as much money as the children working outside," Xia Shande said.
"Is there no other way?" an old man asked, with a look of disappointment and loneliness on his face.
