ByteDance has successfully completed its Series D financing round.
Zhang Long led this round of financing, successfully acquiring 6.1% of the shares, giving him a 10% stake in ByteDance.
The remaining 3.9% stake was acquired by Sequoia Capital.
By the end of the afternoon, Zhang Long's face was practically frozen from smiling, and he had collected a whole basket of business cards, all from these international financial tycoons.
Zhang Long knew exactly what these financial giants were like: use them if you could, cooperate if you could, but never get too close to them.
If you talk to these capitalists about humanity, they'll teach you how to be a person.
As for what these guys' purpose was, Zhang Long certainly knew, but he had to whet their appetite first in order to maximize his profits.
The reason he still holds so many shares in foreign servers is to fish for money.
Even prehistoric megalodons are still fish, and with such a succulent bait, they would definitely be attracted.
To establish an international competition, it is essential to have the support and protection of various stakeholders.
The banquet had barely ended when my girlfriend rushed over.
Looking at Xin Xin, who was covered in dust from her journey, it would be a lie to say he wasn't moved.
Suddenly, he felt a strange itch in his heart, like a fox tickling him, and he really wanted to know about her past.
So he whispered something in his girlfriend's ear for a while, and then took a car to the place where she used to go to school.
Once they arrived at their destination, the young couple weren't in a hurry and strolled around the school hand in hand.
"This is where I went to junior high school, and that was my elementary school. I remember when I was climbing over the wall, I almost lost my footing and fell, but I got caught on a pear tree."
"I wonder if that pear tree is still there."
Hu Xinxin grinned as she thought of this.
"It's clear that you've had a very colorful life since you were a child."
"Come on, let's go see how the pear tree that saved you is doing."
Because it was nighttime, there was no one inside the primary school.
Did you think the two of them just went home like that?
Then you're mistaken. Is Hu Xinxin such a rule-abiding person?
Since there are no conditions, let's create them.
It's just climbing over a wall, she's very good at that.
Watching Hu Xinxin easily climb over the wall, Zhang Long's lips twitched involuntarily.
This wall is about 2 meters high, the same height as the TM Army's 400-meter obstacle course high wall.
Even he needed a running start, but unexpectedly, "Heroine Hu" went up in just a few quick steps.
Once inside, he heard his girlfriend complain, "This place wasn't this high before. How could those kids possibly climb over such a tall wall!"
At that moment, Zhang Long suddenly realized that his girlfriend seemed to have become more vibrant.
So the two of them enthusiastically climbed over the middle school wall again. With Hu Xinxin, the school bully, around, she knew exactly where to climb over the wall, and they experienced another happy childhood moment.
The two explored the entire campus, but decided not to go into any classrooms, just in case they were accused of being thieves.
Next came high school, but unfortunately the two underestimated the level of security at high schools these days. They had barely climbed in when an old man poked his head out of a window and caught them red-handed.
Zhang Long was incredibly embarrassed at this moment, after all, the old man in front of him was a real old man, probably not much younger than Hu Xinxin's grandfather.
If they were to run, the old man definitely couldn't catch them, but if he got injured, who would be responsible?
Fortunately, he had a local strongman girlfriend who immediately stepped in to help.
"Haha, isn't this Grandpa Wu!"
"Why aren't you home yet? Are you still at school?"
"My second aunt has gone too far! Let's go and confront her!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she tried to grab Zhang Long's hand and run away.
"Stop right there! Who's so bold as to climb over the wall?"
"Oh, it's you, little fox. Why aren't you home so late? What are you doing at school?"
"The person next to you looks unfamiliar. They're probably not from our school, right?"
"Speak, what brings you here this time?"
Upon seeing Hu Xinxin, Grandpa Wu immediately retreated into the guardhouse and opened the door to let the two of them in to talk.
From their conversation, Zhang Long could tell that the two seemed to know each other quite well, but judging from Hu Xinxin's appearance, it seemed that she had suffered a loss at the hands of this Grandpa Wu.
His eyes lit up with a gossip-loving urge; getting some juicy gossip about his girlfriend wouldn't be bad at all.
This is going to be interesting.
Hu Xinxin hesitated for a moment, but still took Zhang Long's hand and went inside.
But after taking only a couple of steps, she suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, something's not right!"
"I graduated years ago, why am I still afraid of him!"
Thinking of this, Hu Xinxin's eyes lit up, and she walked in with her head held high, her arrogance instantly rising.
"Old Wu..."
The old gatekeeper gave me a murderous look.
"Ahem, Grandpa Wu!"
This scene almost made Zhang Long burst out laughing.
Hold on, hold on!
I have to hold back, or I might get into trouble today.
"You little rascal, it's been years since I last saw you. You've even graduated from university, and you're still so mischievous!"
"Is this your boyfriend?"
"Grandpa Wu, this is my boyfriend. We came to run some errands in the neighborhood today and thought we'd stop by the school!"
Old Wu looked Zhang Long up and down.
Then he said to him, "Young man, were you in the army?"
"Yes, Grandpa Wu, you have such good eyesight. I've been retired for four years, and you can still tell."
As he spoke, he gave the old man in front of him a thumbs up.
He wouldn't have gotten such a good result if he hadn't recently dyed his hair back to its original color.
As they exited the school gate, Zhang Long jokingly said, "Hey, even our school bully has his moments of defeat!"
"I thought Sister Hu, who was invincible in the school, was afraid of nothing."
"Hehe, Sister Hu, tell me, why are you so afraid of this old man?"
His words immediately ignited "Sister Hu's" anger.
Sensing that danger was approaching, Zhang Long took off running without saying a word.
As she ran, she said, "Xin Xin, look how wonderful this world is, yet you are so irritable. This is not good, not good..."
What was originally just a small flame has evolved into a raging inferno after Zhang Long poured a bucket of gasoline on it.
"Stop running! Or you'll regret it!"
"You've caught up with me and are trying to kill your husband. Would I be stupid not to run?"
The two started chasing each other outside the school.
Old Wu, standing in the guardhouse, smiled knowingly at the sight: "It's good to be young!"
