Chapter 368 Jokes and Legends
Inside Tiancheng Capital, Managing Director Chen Bohan looked at Wen Hua and cursed in his heart: "It's all written in the news, and you're still asking me?"
If you don’t have eyes, just look for yourself!
He frowned and stared at Wen Hua, and continued: "Take a good look at whose name is mentioned in the news."
Wen Hua looked at him, then continued reading on his phone.
The next moment, she felt her throat becoming drier and drier.
"Yue Dongyi?"
"Yue Dongyi, partner of Prin Capital?"
It turned out to be Yue Dongyi, the legendary man in the industry who had repeatedly unearthed underwater projects!
The Yuzu Tea project actually attracted his attention, and he invested 100 million directly in the first round of investment?
This is too exaggerated. This is a bit too exaggerated.
Wen Hua knew very well that it was Prin Capital and that was Yue Dongyi.
Back then, in that small conference room in Starlight City, she offered Cheng Zhu a price of 30 million, but Cheng Zhu asked to add 100 million as soon as he opened his mouth, like a madman, as if he had no concept of money.
But, now look again.
Compared with the 100 million from Yue Dongyi of Prin Capital and the 130 million from Wen Hua of Tiancheng Capital, the former is definitely much more important!
Yes, even if Tiancheng Capital really agreed to this unreasonable request, it would not be as sensational as Yue Dongyi's 100 million!
The reason is very simple, just because it is Prin Capital, just because he is Yue Dongyi!
Tiancheng Capital is not even among the best in Hangzhou, let alone in the whole country.
If people in the investment circle saw the news that Tiancheng Capital invested 130 million yuan in a milk tea shop, many people’s first reaction might be: “What the hell?”
However, because of the special nature of Pulin Capital and Yue Dongyi, many people in the investment circle were absolutely shocked at first: "Is the Yuzu Tea project so awesome and promising?"
Even if we don’t look at the circle, let’s just talk about the online platform.
If it was Tiancheng Capital's investment, then there might not be anyone in the comment section who would provide information about Wen Hua and tell everyone who he is.
In fact, even if it is popularized, there is actually nothing to see.
However, if a class representative explains Yue Dongyi in the comment section, it would be so brilliant and he would look like a big shot!
A person's identity and status are sometimes very strange things.
If you suddenly force someone to give you a hundred dollars in public on the street, you might just attract the attention of passers-by.
But if Jack Ma were walking down the street one day and suddenly forced a hundred yuan into someone’s pocket in public, what kind of reaction would that cause?
However, Wen Hua couldn't figure it out at this moment.
"Why did Yue Dongyi invest 100 million in Youcha?" she said to Chen Bohan.
In the investment circle, although there are not many projects that receive over 100 million yuan in the first round of financing, they are definitely not few.
Some projects can even reach astronomical figures in the first round of financing.
But the problem is that this is a milk tea shop!
This is just a newly established milk tea brand that is adopting an unprecedented new business model.
More importantly, it is a milk tea shop, and there is really only one!
What is Yue Dongyi, a legend in the industry, thinking about?
Chen Bohan listened to Wen Hua's question and cursed in his heart again: "Then why don't I make a phone call for you?"
At this moment, the facial recognition glass door of Tiancheng Capital opened again, and [Partner] Meng Haichuan walked in.
He was a man who wore formal clothes all year round. At this moment, he was wearing a suit with a coat on top.
It's a pity that he is not at all elegant and graceful. He is fat and has a big belly.
As soon as Meng Haichuan walked in, everyone noticed that his face looked very bad, one could even describe it as as gloomy as water.
It was obvious that Meng Haichuan got the news.
He even got some inside information beyond the news.
As I said, the investment circle is very small.
"Chen Bohan, Wen Hua, come to my office for a moment." As soon as he entered the room, he glanced around at everyone with an unhappy expression, and then stopped the two of them.
Meng Haichuan knew very well that everyone gathered together early in the morning probably to discuss the news about pomelo tea.
What is distressing is that at this moment, Tiancheng Capital seems to have suddenly become a laughing stock in the industry.
In other words, it is a joke that needs to be watched!
Because it was Tiancheng Capital that contacted Cheng Zhu first, but chose to do so late.
Because it was Tiancheng Capital that first spread the news and told everyone: If you are one minute late, I will add 100 million.
Nowadays, there is a new teasing joke in the industry: So, is Yue Dongyi late?
Today, Yue Dongyi’s phone will definitely be bombarded with calls from friends in the circle.
I guess many of his familiar friends would ask him this question with a smile.
This piece of news was enough to detonate the entire investment circle, but inexplicably, it became more interesting because of a series of cool moves by Tiancheng Capital.
This young freshman, with all the hype surrounding him, is likely to become the most talked-about figure in the entire investment circle in the next few days!
Just like that, Wen Hua and Chen Bohan followed Meng Haichuan and walked into his office together.
"Wen Hua, you handled this matter very badly." He spoke first to his cousin.
"If nothing unexpected happens, you will become one of the focal points of public opinion in the investment circle during this period of time." Meng Haichuan continued.
Wen Hua sighed, and then said angrily: "Who would have thought that Yue Dongyi would actually invest 100 million in Youcha!"
Meng Haichuan looked at her and couldn't help but frowned: "Haven't you figured out the relationship? Is the problem just about the 100 million?"
"Uh." Wen Hua choked.
She could clearly sense great dissatisfaction in Meng Haichuan's tone.
"It's the valuation." Chen Bohan tried to smooth things over: "Didn't you see the valuation content just now?"
"Valuation?" Wen Hua was stunned.
She was just checking the news under everyone's gaze, reading a little bit and then chatting with everyone.
In other words, she was completely shocked by the number 100 million and the name Yue Dongyi.
Before she had time to finish reading the news or take in all the information, Meng Haichuan came in.
She immediately picked up her phone and looked up the information.
Wen Hua actually had a rough idea in his mind.
First of all, the share that can be obtained in the first round of financing is basically within that range.
Secondly, Yue Dongyi is a rather "greedy" person. A big shot like him doesn't like to make small moves, so it's impossible for him to just want a small share.
"The valuation is at most 400 million, no more." Wen Hua thought.
Her idea was not wrong. Yue Dongyi really didn't like to make small moves, so the amount he reported at the beginning was 160 million.
But who could have thought that a freshman would be unmoved and simply refuse on the spot?
Of course, in Wen Hua's opinion, even the valuation of 400 million is already exaggerated, and Wen Hua already finds it incredible.
However, after seeing that number, she even felt like her brain was shutting down.
"How is that possible!"
"The valuation of Yuzu Tea is actually 800 million!!!"
800 million? How could it be 800 million!
More importantly, if the valuation is 800 million, given Yue Dongyi's personality and Prin Capital's usual style, how could he only invest 100 million!
"It can't be that Prin Capital wanted to invest more but was rejected by him?" Wen Hua was puzzled.
Impossible! How could I have such a ridiculous imagination?
Wen Hua's thoughts are in a mess now. She only knows that she will be stuck in the center of public opinion and unable to escape in the near future.
What's even more frightening is that if Youcha really develops rapidly after getting 100 million yuan and really reaches Yue Dongyi's expectations for it.
As a "latecomer", I will become a big joke in the industry!
On the other side, foam tea.
Today is Monday, the day when the new product, brown sugar thick milk, is officially launched.
In the past few days, various pre-promotions have been in full swing.
As for today, we will spend money like crazy to achieve the best publicity effect!
Zhou Jianxiong and other senior executives were both excited and nervous.
Mocha has always been following the traditional approach and has never paid too much attention to online marketing.
In the past, the best you could do was post some marketing articles and advertise that even if you opened a foam tea shop in a small city, you could bring in a certain amount of income in a month, and use this to attract more people to join.
Today, they attach great importance to the brown sugar market and strive to take the biggest bite of the cake.
Zhou Jianxiong sometimes thinks: "As time goes by, since we were the first to sell brown sugar milk tea nationwide, maybe over time, everyone will think that brown sugar milk tea was invented by us!"
His idea does make sense.
Of course, the premise is that there is only one store of Yuzu Tea in Hangzhou, and its presence will become increasingly weak.
Zhou Jianxiong has also heard something recently. He heard that Youcha seems to be looking for someone to raise funds.
"Not open for franchising, but raising funds?" He was a little confused.
This is completely different from the approach taken by the current mainstream milk tea brands, and he has no idea what is going on in this young man's mind.
It is not easy to raise funds. Many well-known milk tea brands have had similar ideas, but all ended in failure.
How can this road be so easy to walk on?
You are not thinking of raising funds in a few rounds and then going public, right?
Hahahaha, having said that, there is no milk tea on the market in China yet!
Even though he is already a big shot in the milk tea industry, he has never had such an idea.
How to make milk tea go public?
So funny!
"Of course, since you left a message on our Weibo saying 'looking forward to Monday', we at Mocha will definitely not let you down!"
It can be said that Zhou Jianxiong spent a lot of money today. In addition to some conventional marketing methods, Mocha also contacted many food-related marketing accounts and even spent a lot of money to buy a hot search on Weibo!
Didn’t your Yuzu tea rank in the top ten on Weibo’s hot search list?
Well then, we at MoCha will buy the ninth spot on Weibo’s hot search list!
Let’s make a bigger splash and try to make our brown sugar thick milk well-known within a day. Let’s also make ourselves an internet celebrity!
With this thought in mind, Zhou Jianxiong took out his mobile phone, opened Weibo, and checked the Weibo hot search list.
He looked at the ninth hot search term on Weibo, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he was ready to click in to take a look.
But at this moment, his eyes were attracted by the fifth most searched term on Weibo.
——[Yuzucha’s first round of financing is 100 million].
Brother Xiong, who is already quite old, suddenly felt a little tinnitus when he saw this hot search term!
(ps: First update, please give me a monthly ticket!)
