keep has performed well during this period, with the number of users successfully exceeding 100 million, attracting a lot of capital attention.
Over 100 million users itself represents a benchmark. It is not easy for Keep to achieve this step.
As far as Chen Dongcheng knows, keep is currently interested in conducting D financing, and interested capital has begun to subscribe.
The valuation of this round was set at US$1.2 billion, and US$120 million was raised.
Part of the money raised will be used to acquire Super Orangutan.
In the big track of Internet fitness, in addition to focusing on online keep.
There are also companies that are deeply involved in offline operations, such as Super Orangutan and other companies.
Among them, Super Orangutan is a representative company in the field of new offline gyms.
Relying on Chen Dongcheng's capital injection, Super Orangutan quickly entered the Shanghai and Beijing markets after developing five stores in Pengcheng.
It has built up its own brand awareness in the four major first-tier cities.
The group exercise class model is also very popular among users, which saves them the trouble of applying for annual passes.
The level of coaches at Super Orangutan is also much higher and more responsible than those at traditional gyms.
Shangdong Technology's successful acquisition of Super Orangutan was Chen Dongcheng's promise to many shareholders of Shangdong Technology a long time ago.
If it hadn't been for this promise at that time, they wouldn't have been able to get them to agree to let Zhuang Manting go.
…
Kexing Science Park.
Chen Dongcheng walked into the floor where Shanneng Technology was located.
Many new employees no longer remember Chen Dongcheng, the original founder, and Chen Dongcheng doesn't care.
Compared with several other companies under his name, keep's development speed is too slow and it is just a springboard for his initial business.
In the conference room of Sundong Technology, the two parties were seated on two sides.
One of the Super Orangutan founding teams nodded to Chen Dongcheng.
"Mr. Chen."
Chen Dongcheng also smiled at them.
"Now that Mr. Chen is here, I announce that the merger meeting between Super Orangutan and Keep has officially begun."
Tang Qi tried to be as friendly as possible: "In recent times, many companies have flooded into the Internet fitness track, among which Keep and Super Orangutan have performed very well."
"But as we all know, the development of Internet fitness in China has always been inferior to that of Europe and the United States. Not only does Keep, as an online giant, feel the malice of the market ceiling, but I think Super Orangutan also feels the same way, right?"
Super Gorilla's Tiaotiao nodded: "Boss Tang and I have the same considerations. Focusing on offline or online has its own drawbacks.
If you want to go further, you must explore a more suitable way.
Therefore, Super Orangutan has room for cooperation with Keep, and Keep can focus on online operations and provide Super Orangutan with more fitness-loving users.
Super Orangutan can perfectly convert the online traffic diverted by keep by continuously opening stores and adding offline stores."
To put it simply, Tiaodiao plans to merge the two companies and continue to operate independently.
She and Tang Qi hold the position of co-founders.
Keep is eager for Super Orangutan’s offline channels, and Super Orangutan is eager to keep’s online traffic.
After the merger of the two companies, there will be no loser, both will benefit, and the valuation will also increase.
This is also something that D-round investors are very satisfied with.
Chen Dongcheng kept listening, but he didn't have much opinion on the merger of the two companies.
The main reason for being invited here is to show his attitude. After all, he holds too many shares in Super Orangutan.
As long as he is dissatisfied, the merger will completely fail.
Regarding the position of chairman of the new company after the merger, it must be Chen Dongcheng.
He holds a lot of shares in two companies. Even after so many rounds of financing, he still holds more than 50% of the shares in keep.
He holds more than 80% of Super Orangutan's shares.
After the merger of the two companies, the news was quickly released to the outside world.
The news of the merger between Keep and Super Orangutan instantly became a hot search topic, causing many people to marvel.
The two companies have always been at peace with each other. Super Orangutan focuses on offline and the steady development of each store.
Keep focuses on online, and has only tried healthy meals once before.
Although some results have been seen, no one would have thought that keep would be interested in super gorilla.
Chen Dongcheng is naturally happy to see keep achieve the status of a unicorn.
The [King of Unicorn] badge is in demand by ten companies.
Keep's acquisition of Super Orangutan is certainly a good thing for him.
…
Although Qingju Technology was acquired by Didi, it did not affect Li Xingyao’s internship at all.
After all, Chen Dongcheng is still the top three largest shareholder within Didi.
After the acquisition of Qingju Technology, except for the replacement of a small number of senior executives, the middle management and lower-level employees did not change much.
When companies merge, one party will definitely withdraw.
After staying in the company for a day, Li Xingyao was already a little tired when she got off work.
When I got home and opened the door, I was suddenly a little surprised.
"Naixin, why is it you?"
Li Xingyao was a little surprised and asked in disbelief.
"Hehe, aren't you happy to see us?"
Huang Naixin smiled and handed the gift in her hand to Li Xingyao: "This is the birthday gift that Lu Bai and I prepared for you. I hope you like it."
My birthday?
If Huang Naixin hadn't mentioned it, Li Xingyao almost forgot about his birthday today.
She has been so busy lately. After Didi acquired Qingju Technology, the handover alone kept her busy.
Thinking of his birthday, Li Xingyao looked around the house with some anticipation.
But she couldn't find the figure she wanted to see most, and her eyes couldn't help but dim.
Just when Li Xingyao forced a smile and planned to thank her friends.
All the lights in the house suddenly went out, and then the door of a bedroom was suddenly opened.
A dining cart was rolled out, with a huge cake placed on it and candles surrounding it.
Look again at that familiar figure that made her want to cry with excitement. Is it Chen Dongcheng or someone else?
"Happybirthdaytoyou,happybirthdaytoyou."
Chen Dongcheng was singing and pushing the dining cart out.
Huang Naixin and the others also sang happy birthday.
The heartwarming scene made Li Xingyao, who was very tired during this period, cry instantly.
Chen Dongcheng pushed the dining cart to the middle of the dining room, then walked towards Li Xingyao and gently held her in his arms.
"Today is your birthday, be happy.
Li Xingyao choked up and nodded, with tears remaining on her beautiful face.
The picture of a beautiful woman crying is heartbreaking.
Seeing the man she loved appearing in front of her, as well as her best friend who had taken leave from her internship and came back, Li Xingyao couldn't stop feeling happy.
Chen Dongcheng took Li Xingyao to the dining car. The number of candles placed on the cake corresponded to Li Xingyao's birthday.
Li Xingyao made a wish with her eyes closed, and when the wish was over, she pulled Chen Dongcheng to blow out the candles together.
Lu Bai pushed the switch, and the light returned to the room. Only then did Li Xinyao notice the careful layout of the room.
Pink balloons and ribbons were hung all over the wall, and flowers of various colors could be seen everywhere. It was obvious that a lot of effort had been put into preparing them specially for her.
Chen Dongcheng must prepare well for Li Xingyao's birthday party.
A few chefs hiding in the kitchen can finally make dinner.
Li Xingyao and the others sat together and chatted about things during their internship, feeling a little emotional.
Only a few months have passed, and it feels like years have passed.
The complexity of society makes it very difficult for rookies like them who have just stepped out of college to adapt.
Lu Bai and the others were also chatting with Chen Dongcheng: "Brother Chen, do you think we should invest in Bitcoin now? I think it has tripled now. Is there still room for growth?"
"What, you want to sell?"
Chen Dongcheng glanced at Lu Bai and said casually: "It has only grown three times, so there is no point in selling it now.
If you feel that continuing to invest is risky, you can choose to sell now."
Lu Bai chuckled and scratched his head: "I'm just saying casually, we must firmly embrace Brother Chen's lap. We will sell it if you say it."
Fu Boyang and Zhong Hanwen have even more trust in Chen Dongcheng.
Although they are far away from Chen Dongcheng now, they can still hear some news about him.
For example, Chen Dongcheng purchased Tottenham Hotspur in the UK, which is a multi-billion dollar club. If it weren't for domestic reports, they wouldn't believe it.
Therefore, they are not worried about Chen Dong cheating them at all, and it is wisest to resolutely embrace Chen Dongcheng's lap.
After a lively dinner at home, Lu Bai and the others left one after another.
Leave some space for this couple who haven't seen each other for a long time.
Chen Dongcheng found that he spent very little time with Li Xingyao, and he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
Li Xingyao noticed some guilt on Chen Dongcheng's face and said softly: "Don't feel guilty. Falling in love with you is my choice. No matter how difficult this choice is, I will go on firmly."
Chen Dongcheng said nothing, put Li Xingyao into his arms, and hugged each other quietly for a while.
It was rare that I slept with Li Xingyao in my arms all night, doing nothing but wanting to quietly experience the tranquility.
Early the next morning, Li Xingyao prepared breakfast and went to the company early.
Chen Dongsheng looked at the empty pillow, got up and washed up, and continued to work in the newly merged company.
The merger between Sundong Technology and Super Orangutan is not a trivial matter, and various details need to be communicated.
Fortunately, the senior management teams of the two companies have been getting along quite smoothly, and both parties have gained something after the resources were connected.
"Take me to England?"
Li Xingyao's face was full of surprise, and she didn't understand why Chen Longcheng suddenly thought of taking her to England.
Chen Dongsheng smiled, but did not answer her directly.
After Li Xingyao simply cleaned up, the two rushed to Bao'an Airport. His private plane had been waiting for a long time.
Li Xingyao looked a little surprised. This was the first time she knew that Chen Dongcheng had bought a private jet.
"Mr. Chen, can we take off?"
Chen Dongcheng nodded and said to the two stewardesses: "This is my girlfriend Li Xingyao."
The two spaces looked a little surprised and smiled respectfully at Li Xingyao.
"Hello, Ms. Li, it's my honor to serve you."
Li Xingyao nodded to them cautiously: "You are too polite."
Private jets are really unfamiliar to Li Xingyao.
"You're welcome, this is what we should do."
The two flight attendants were very smart. They had seen Zhang Lu and Zheng Danni brought on the plane by Chen Mingcheng before.
But they have never met Chen Dongcheng. Speaking of their identities, at most they are just lovers.
As the flagship model among private jets, the Gulfstream G650er naturally has its high price.
Flying from Pengcheng to London does not require refueling midway, which is one of the reasons why Chen Dongcheng chose this aircraft.
When they arrived in London, Chen Dongcheng did not notify Marotta and others at the club, but directly asked the butler Brown to send someone to pick him up.
A convoy of three Rolls-Royces set off from Heathrow Airport and headed straight to the villa.
Butler Brown and the male and female servants stood in two rows and said in a respectful tone: "Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Chen home."
Li Xingyao looked at the European castle-style villa, the well-dressed housekeepers and servants.
The old British aristocratic life in the movie seemed to be gradually unfolding for her.
Chen Dongcheng directed the two maids to take Li Xingyao upstairs to rest and get rid of the jet lag.
He walked to the living room, asked the butler Brown to bring him a cup of coffee, and looked at the Tottenham Club documents Marotta sent him.
Since the introduction of the plan to have the same ticket prices for knockout matches and group matches, fans have become very enthusiastic about buying tickets.
Even though Wembley Stadium can accommodate 90,000 people, the tickets are still sold out, and it is even harder to get a ticket from the outside world.
Only Tottenham in the whole of Europe dares to do this.
But there is no doubt that this approach has allowed Chen Dongcheng to gain the favor of a group of fans.
For Chen Dongcheng, the key factors that depend on his season settlement are the fans' satisfaction with him and the team's revenue.
Reducing the tickets for the knockout rounds will not have a particularly big impact on Tottenham's revenue.
On the contrary, this kind of concession to the fans has greatly improved the fans' satisfaction with him.
Chen Dongcheng took the time to meet with Marotta and asked about Tottenham's performance in the Champions League.
Marotta said with a smile on his face: "Boss, since we adjusted the tickets for the group stage to be consistent with the knockout rounds, the number of fans at the Champions League home games has increased dramatically, setting record for home games in the Premier League, and every game is full."
The home stadium with 90,000 people was packed with seats. Thinking about that scene is shocking.
Marotta's previous efforts even saved the Wembley Stadium turf.
It can allow Tottenham's players to perform more smoothly without affecting their strength.
Of course, the most important thing is Tottenham's own strength.
This time, it lived up to expectations and won the first place in the group stage and entered the knockout rounds, attracting the attention of other teams.
Even though most of the team is a bunch of rookies, they still cannot be underestimated.
As for their performance in the Premier League, Tottenham are so strong that they make other teams despair.
There was no defeat at home at White Hart Lane.
In this season's Premier League, Tottenham has the best chance of winning the championship.
Chen Dongcheng was quite satisfied and said to Marotta: "We will continue to buy people next summer, and the investment in the transfer market cannot be lower than this year. It will still start at 100 million pounds."
Marotta couldn't hide his joy. He thought that after this year's big move, the boss would reduce some investment in the transfer market.
He is not as generous as Chen Dongcheng, and he plans to spend a lot of money on signings next year.
There is no doubt that investing another 100 million pounds in Tottenham, which is already strong, will widen the gap with other competitors and even make them completely despair.
