Then he chatted with Zhao Wenbin for a while. Zhao Wenbin asked Zhang Yida about his parents, and Zhang Yida said that he was doing some small business in his hometown, opening a pig feed factory and a dog food factory.
After a while, the meal was ready, and Zhang Yida and Zhao Wenbin had two drinks together.
Wang Hongxin served Zhang Yida with dishes from time to time, and was so enthusiastic that Zhang Yida felt embarrassed.
Overall, the meal was quite enjoyable. Zhao Wenbin and Wang Hongxin were very satisfied with Zhang Yida in all aspects.
He has the ability to do things, his appearance is acceptable, and his family conditions are not bad. Yaya and I are in the same class of university. The couple has reached a consensus and supports the two young people to find a partner together.
Zhang Yida was a little drunk. For safety reasons, Zhao Wenbin and his wife let him stay at home. They specially cleaned up an empty room for him to rest.
Zhang Yida was a little embarrassed, but he did drink a little too much, and ended up staying at Zhao Erya's house for the first time.
Helping Zhang Yida, who was swaying and almost unable to walk, to the room, Zhao Erya brought him another basin of water, wiped his face, took off his shoes and socks, and covered Zhang Yida with a quilt.
She also put a glass of water on the bedside table because she was afraid that Zhang Yida would wake up thirsty at night.
Zhang Yida woke up in the night with a dry mouth. He turned on the light and saw a glass of water on the bedside table. He drank it all and went back to sleep.
On the way to work with Zhao Erya the next day, Zhang Yida smiled and said: "Thank you last night. I woke up thirsty in the middle of the night. Fortunately, there is a glass of water on the bedside. You put it there, right?"
Zhao Erya was lying in the passenger seat to catch up on her sleep. She replied confusedly: "Yes! You drank too much last night. I helped you to bed. I took off your clothes, shoes and socks, and washed your face. I was afraid that you would have a bad mouth."
When I was thirsty, I took a glass of water and put it there."
Zhang Yida was a little moved, and glanced at Zhao Erya, who was taking a nap with her eyes squinted, thinking that it was rare for this aunt to take care of others.
He withdrew his gaze and continued to concentrate on driving. The traffic in Beijing was still a bit congested in the morning. He stopped and stopped all the way, and it was past nine o'clock before he arrived at the company.
Zhang Yida is the boss, so it's okay to be late for work. On Zhao Erya's side, customer service director Wang Feiyan knows about their relationship and will not embarrass Zhao Erya.
Sitting in the office, Zhang Yida took out his mobile phone and scrolled through the messages.
Seeing Aite's own group information, Zhang Yida clicked in and found out that Xu Xiaoming was organizing the Zhenke Fund's annual meeting, inviting all invested companies in the group to attend.
The group name is "Zhenke Investor Club", and Xu Xiaoming joined Zhang Yida shortly after he invested in him last year.
There are not many people in this group. In addition to Zhenke Fund employees, there are dozens of entrepreneurs from all walks of life, all of whom Zhenke has invested in.
Chen Ou, the boss of Jumei, a cosmetics group-buying e-commerce company, Mao Chao, the founder of the lifestyle sharing community Xiaoheishu, Zhou Zhou, the founder of Yidao Yongche, and other makers are all in the group.
The purpose of Zhenke Fund in establishing this group is very simple. In addition to integrating the resources of its multiple investment companies, it also allows founders to communicate more and achieve win-win resource cooperation.
The atmosphere in the group is still very active. Everyone exchanges news hot spots every day, and various policies introduced by the government will also share their views and discuss them.
Some newcomers who have just founded the company, such as Mao Chao and Zhang Yida, sometimes ask Chen Ou, Zhou Zhou and other seniors who have been in business for several years in the group for advice on management issues.
When Chen Ou and Zhou Zhou saw the WeChat message, they would also give some suggestions and guidance in a timely manner.
In short, the atmosphere in the group is very good. They are all smart people who know how to establish and maintain connections and help each other. Maybe at some point, the company may encounter areas where others need help or cooperation, so there is a need for mutual help.
Still very friendly.
Zhang Yida replied: "Received, I'll be there on time."
Seeing that Chen Ou had also replied to the message, Aite asked: "Brother Ou, has Jumei's listing been decided yet?"
Chen Ou saw that it was Zhang Yida, a fellow from Sichuan Province, who was asking, so he replied: "It has been decided. The internal organization is almost ready. In two months, the IPO application will be submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission."
Zhang Yida made an applauding emoji and typed back: "Congratulations to Brother Ou! You will probably be the youngest CEO of the New York Stock Exchange in more than 200 years since its establishment."
Others in the group also congratulated each other and typed:
"Congratulations to Mr. Chen! Congratulations to Jumei!"
"Jumei has gone public four years after its establishment. Mr. Chen is so powerful."
…
Chen Ou specially liked Zhang Yida and typed:
"How's Ruixiang doing here? It's almost round B!"
Zhang Yida also typed back: "Well, it's coming soon. We will launch a few more products after they are launched."
"Come on then! I'm particularly optimistic about Ruixiang. I'm also very optimistic about you, Zhang Yida. Come sit down with Jumei in Dongcheng when you are free." Chen Ou typed a series of words.
"Haha, okay, then I will come to study and study next time. Brother Ou will treat me to a good meal." Zhang Yida also typed in response.
"No problem, welcome anytime." Chen Ou replied.
Just as Zhang Yida put down his phone, it rang again, and there was another WeChat message.
It was sent by Li Lin. The content is:
"Mr. Zhang, we at Evergreen Capital have created a small roundtable club, which is a platform focusing on entrepreneur communities and entrepreneurial services. Now we want to invite you to join? What do you think? Are you interested?"
Zhang Yida thought for a while, and estimated that it was a platform created by Evergreen Capital to attract investment projects and mentor entrepreneurs. He did not refuse and typed: "What exactly does it do? What role will I join?"
Li Lin smiled at the news. She didn't reject it directly, which meant that there was an opportunity. As an institution focusing on early-stage investments such as angel rounds and A rounds, Evergreen Capital needs to cast a wide net to audition potential entrepreneurial projects.
In addition, they are also responsible for recommending the invested companies to the next round of investors.
Ruixiang Jinke, who just invested in Lefenqin, has a big thigh and needs to be hugged. It would be best if Ruixiang Jinke takes a fancy to several of their companies that participated in early investments and raises the next round of financing.
.
Li Lin typed and replied: "The specific thing is that we have screened a large number of early investment projects through this platform. Now we want to invite Ruixiang to cooperate with us to see if there are any projects that Ruixiang is interested in. We can invest together."
Zhang Yida thought for a while and replied: "Okay, you can invite me into the group! Let's take a look first and see if there are suitable projects we can work with together!"
Then Zhang Yida was pulled into a WeChat group called "Small Round Table Club Team 1" by Li Lin.
As soon as I entered the group, I saw Li Lin introducing me.
"This is Mr. Zhang Yida, chairman of Ruixiang Jinke Group, everyone is welcome!"
Dozens of messages were immediately posted in the group, all with various welcome messages.
Zhang Yida looked at the number of people in the group. Oh my god, there are 499 people. It will be full soon. In addition, the atmosphere in the group is so lively!
Li Lin continued to introduce:
"Ruixiang Jinke is an Internet financial group. It received US$50 million in Series A financing last year. Its current corporate valuation is nearly US$1 billion. It is an emerging Internet financial unicorn.
Some time ago, Lefenqi also raised US$20 million in Series A financing.
If you have good entrepreneurial projects, especially those in the Internet finance industry, you can talk to Mr. Zhang. If you get Mr. Zhang’s approval, you will have a good chance of getting financing.”
Zhang Yida also typed:
"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Yida. If you have the opportunity, please communicate more with me. If you have any good entrepreneurial projects, you are welcome to communicate with me."
Not long after he finished typing, dozens of people added him. Zhang Yida had a headache and asked Li Lin: "Mr. Li, too many people have added me and I can't take care of them. Why don't I ask them to send BP to Ruixiang Strategy first?"
Please email the investment department!”
Li Lin thought about it and found out that this was indeed the case. Zhang Yida is also a group boss after all. He has many things to do every day and it is impossible to stare at WeChat every day. So he replied:
"Okay, let's leave the email address of your company's strategic investment department in the group first."
Zhang Yida gave Li Lin an email address and asked her to send it to the group, asking everyone to send the business plan to the email first. Those who are interested will naturally be contacted by someone from Ruixiang Jinke.
Zhang Yida didn't pass the friend application of people in the group. It's not because he's being arrogant, but because he has a principle: Don't add people you don't know well on WeChat. If you add people you don't chat with, it's embarrassing, so it's better not to add them.
Of course, the people in the Little Round Table Club group didn't think so anymore, thinking that Zhang Yida was being pretentious and pretending to be a boss, so he didn't pass their friend application. Of course, it was impossible to say these words out loud, they just muttered a few words in their hearts.
Moreover, everyone in the group pretended to be in high spirits and expressed their intention to send business plans to their mailboxes.
Zhang Yida didn't know whether it had been announced specifically, so he called Lei Dongming and asked him to give instructions and let several colleagues in the strategic investment department take charge of this work.
After investing US$15 million in cash in installments, the strategic investment department's 100 million yuan in cash was left with only 8.5 million yuan.
Some people feel that it is not enough, and when the money comes to be used, I will regret the lack of money! Zhang Yida muttered.
After thinking about it, let’s make do with it first! At present, the company’s funds are not particularly abundant. It only has more than 100 million in cash, and it still needs to prepare two projects: big data credit and risk control system output.
After these two projects are hatched, we will start Series B financing, and then use some money to invest.
Regarding investment, Zhang Yida really wants to do it. As a reborn person, he almost knows which companies he founded in the past few years will be popular in the future and which ones will be listed. You still have to use gold fingers, but the money is a little less.
Basically you can only participate in early stage investment.
Mature companies like Ali and Penguin have no chance to buy at the bottom.
However, the mobile Internet has just emerged now, and there are a lot of companies with a future market value of hundreds of millions of dollars and billions of dollars, all with cabbage prices, waiting for him to choose.
Although you can't make much money, no matter how small the mosquito is, it's still meat!
TMD said the three small giants, Zhang Yida searched for financing information on his mobile phone.
Didi completed a $100 million Series C round of financing in January this year, with a valuation of more than $1 billion.
Meituan completed Series B financing of US$50 million in 2011 and is currently preparing for Series C, with a valuation claimed to be US$3 billion.
Toutiao completed a US$10 million Series B financing in September 2013, with a valuation of US$100 million.
Hey, I can get involved in Toutiao, but forget about the other two. They have already been taken care of by the giants. Zhang Yida rubbed his forehead and thought.
