Chapter 514: 30 billion US dollars! Lao Ma’s choice! Since you want to fight, then I will fight to the end!
The next morning, at Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park, Pinbei headquarters building.
Xiong Li, general manager of the Human Resources Department, and Zhang Junjie, deputy general manager, booked all the meeting rooms and conference rooms on the first and second floors, and took turns explaining matters such as the option exercise process, lock-up period regulations, and foreign exchange registration to employees from various departments.
Simply put, a company is prohibited from selling its shares within six months after listing. After six months, it can legally reduce its holdings in accordance with the regulations of the New York Stock Exchange.
For the earliest employees who joined Pinbei, 50% of their equity had been unfrozen by then.
If you hold 10,000 shares, half of it would be $200,000 based on the issue price.
Everyone had a bright smile on their face.
There is an excitement that is hard to conceal throughout the company!
Wang Zihao lay on the sofa, biting the straw in his mouth, and took a sip of ice cola with a slurp.
"Cool!"
It feels so good to be home!
Wang Zihao narrowed his eyes, wishing he could take off his shoes and lie down on the sofa.
Chen Yansen sat sideways in the boss's chair and reminded him with a look of disgust: "Don't take off your shoes! Otherwise, I will deduct three months' bonus from you."
"Brother Sen, my feet don't stink. If you don't believe me, why don't you smell it?"
Wang Zihao grinned and took off his right shoe.
A faint fragrance floats in the air!
Chen Yansen burst out laughing and then jokingly said, "You guys spray perfume on your feet? That's quite a trick."
"Hey, my girlfriend washed my socks for me."
Wang Zihao raised his eyebrows and said proudly.
"Which girlfriend?" Chen Yansen asked back.
"Brother Sen, can we discuss something?"
Hearing this, Wang Zihao's face fell. He quickly put on his shoes, sat down on Mr. Chen's desk, and begged with a smile.
"Tell me about it." Chen Yansen leaned back, picked up the Coke and took a sip.
"Next time you see my girlfriend, don't tell her that I've been to Galaxy Star and that I've had seven girlfriends."
Wang Zihao said in a low voice.
"Are you serious this time?" Chen Yansen asked with a smile.
When Wang Zihao was in Xucheng, he always drove a BMW 750 around the school and the city.
He didn't actively think about falling in love, but there were always beautiful girls throwing themselves at him.
"A young girl from Xijiang, a Nanjing University graduate, working as an operations management trainee at OFO. She's a bit silly, but really pretty."
As Wang Zihao spoke, he excitedly took out his mobile phone and opened the photo album to scroll through it.
A photo quickly popped up on the screen: the background was a street corner full of shared bicycles, and a girl in an orange work uniform stood in front of the camera, her little face rosy and her skin fair.
The sunlight fell on her slightly drooping eyelashes, and there was still some dust on the corners of her mouth, but her smile was brighter than the spring flowers beside her.
Wang Zihao was not exaggerating, this girl's appearance score was at least 88 points.
"Bring it to me later." Chen Yansen glanced at it and then reminded.
Although Wang Zihao has become adept at entering and exiting Shang K under his training, and has also had several short-lived romances, his underlying character has not changed.
As a good brother, he naturally has to help check and inspect the goods.
As for Wang Zihao's description of the other party as "stupid", Chen Yansen didn't believe it at all.
Being able to get into Nanjing University shows that he is not stupid; being able to get in touch with Wang Zihao shows that he has high emotional intelligence.
Mr. Chen will know after just one test whether she is really naive or a green tea girl pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
Wang Zihao sat in his office for a while, then stood up and said goodbye. He patted his butt and went to the Pinbei company across the street to make an appointment with Zhang Yifeng, Xiang Pengfei and others to have dinner together in the evening.
at the same time.
Thunder's Wanke Coin saw another surge, soaring from 0.43 yuan to 1.94 yuan. In just twenty days, the increase was nearly two hundred times.
Some people held on to it from a low of 0.01 yuan to 1.94 yuan, while others chose to sell at 0.43 yuan.
After all, at that time, that was already more than forty times the profit.
The entire market is in a hot state!
Some people even borrowed online loans to buy Wanke coins.
Even the price of OneNet Cloud rose from its issue price of 399 yuan to nearly 5,000 yuan.
Riding on this favorable wind, Xunlei submitted an application for listing, planning to use paid download business as its basic foundation and superimpose innovative concepts related to blockchain technology to enter the capital market.
The other side.
Chen Yansen, Wang Zihao and others had a meal in the sky garden until 11 o'clock in the evening.
When he returned to Delta Park, he found Song Yuncheng lying on the sofa with the TV on, but he was sleeping soundly.
The phone was thrown aside.
Chen Yansen walked forward, picked up the phone, and skillfully entered the power-on password.
The interface that came into view was a dialog box with myself.
There is only one word "you" left in the input box.
Obviously, Xiao Chengzi wanted to ask him when he would be home, but was afraid of disturbing him, so he deleted and modified the message in the input box, and ultimately did not send the message.
Song Yuncheng's note for him was 'Master'.
Chen Yansen felt warm in his heart. He picked her up from the sofa and held her in his arms, then walked upstairs.
Although his movements were very light, Song Yuncheng has always had an insecure feeling and a light sleeper. Before he reached the second floor, Song Yuncheng slowly opened his eyes, looking dazed.
"Master, you're back?" Song Yuncheng asked subconsciously.
"Next time you say this kind of nonsense, don't call me Master. I don't have a disciple as stupid as you."
Chen Yansen rolled his eyes at her and said unhappily.
"Oh, put me down, I'll make you some sobering tea." Song Yuncheng put his face against Chen Yansen's chest and said softly.
"Stop struggling, take a shower and go to bed." Chen Yansen said.
"But I've already washed." Song Yuncheng pursed his lips and gestured for him to look at his pajamas.
"I've washed the outside, but I haven't washed the inside yet." Chen Yansen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a smirk appeared in his eyes.
…
…
The next day, Gao Weilin returned to Xucheng from Luzhou, and immediately launched Kuapao's Series C financing plan.
Although Pei Yi won the battles with Baidu and Ctrip, he did not have much money left in his account.
In order to cope with the possible business competition that may occur in the future, financing is imperative.
Today, Kuaipao has integrated food delivery, group buying, and grocery shopping businesses. It has more than 100,000 employees, with a daily order volume of up to 24 million and an average daily platform turnover of more than 600 million.
Its business covers more than a dozen sub-categories including food, entertainment, hotels and travel, and it has become a giant in the local life field.
Reasonable use of financing methods can not only enhance the interests of the company, but also expand the network of relationships.
For ordinary startups to raise funds, they must first conduct internal review, determine the amount of financing, purpose, valuation expectations, prepare a core business plan, financial model and business data package, and then sort out the equity structure.
Investment institutions will also conduct comprehensive due diligence on startups, including business, finance, business qualifications and labor compliance.
But these processes and rules are completely inapplicable to Kuapao.
As soon as the news of Senlian Capital's opening of Series C financing came out, institutions such as Huake, Sands Ventures, Hillhouse Capital and Penguin Capital responded and expressed their willingness to follow suit.
Liu Yiqing, managing director of Goldman Sachs Asia, also expressed strong investment intentions to Gao Weilin.
Although Goldman Sachs has missed the A and B rounds of financing, with Kuaipao's market monopoly position and mature profit model, its future market value will definitely not be less than 100 billion US dollars.
If you invest at this time, the rate of return may not be high, but the absolute return will be quite considerable.
Only Ma Liyun was the most embarrassed. He knew in his heart that once the market share of Taodiandian and Dianping touched the bottom line of Kuaipao, there would be an inevitable tough battle between Ali and Senlian Capital.
At present, Senlian Capital is in the limelight, and Kuapao’s monopoly barriers in the local life service field are unbreakable.
If a head-on confrontation really takes place, it will most likely affect the group's cash flow, resulting in poor financial report data, and in turn hindering subsequent listing plans.
Wrong timing!
There are only two choices before him:
First, abandon Ali's O2O strategy and continue to pursue Kuaipao and Kuaidi Dache;
Second, give up participating in Kuaipao’s Series C financing.
Ma Liyun originally thought he had made the decision long ago, but when he learned that Goldman Sachs had valued Kuaipao at US$30 billion, he hesitated.
Ali holds a 9.4% stake in Kuaipao, equivalent to 3 billion US dollars.
When Chen Yansen first lured Ali and Penguin into the game, he specifically signed a supplementary agreement: before Kuapao went public, they were prohibited from transferring their shares in Kuapao.
This move can not only increase the sunk costs of Ma Liyun and Ma Huateng, but also completely eliminate their idea of jumping off the train midway.
Ma Liyun thought about it over and over again, but still couldn't make up his mind.
Cooperating with Kuapao can alleviate Ali's traffic shortage in the short term; while fully developing Taodiandian and Dianping will pave the way for the group's long-term development.
Ma Liyun believes that Ali can't rely solely on high-frequency consumption scenarios like Kuaipao to drive traffic to Yaomao and Taobao forever. After all, no matter how good someone else's products are, they're ultimately not as convenient as your own.
Ultimately, he was unwilling to accept it.
Why should I work so hard for more than ten years, only to be constrained by a young boy in the end?
"I have eaten more salt than he has eaten rice." Ma Liyun murmured softly, his Adam's apple rolling.
In the end, he called Ji Gang and bluntly told him to give up on Kuaipao's Series C financing.
Chen Yansen waited for two days, but there was no call from Ma Liyun. He knew that the other party was determined to compete with Senlian Capital in the O2O field.
He used this opportunity to open the C round of financing window for Kuaipao, just to test Lao Ma.
Ma Liyun's choice just proves a truth: there are no eternal friends in the business world, only eternal interests.
Chen Yansen looked at the list of potential investors for Series C funding, picked up a pen, crossed out Ali's name, and then informed Gao Weilin, "The Series C funding round will be held three days in advance, on November 28th. Ali doesn't need to reserve a share."
"Okay, boss, I understand." Gao Weilin responded immediately.
"Since you want to fight, then I'll stick with you to the end." Chen Yansen pushed the list to the corner of the table, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
