Chapter 341 I'm going to the bathroom (please subscribe to support!)
...
After listening to Wang Xing's explanation of the structure of the group-buying website, Xu Kai asked directly: "How much do you want me to invest and how much of the shares do you want me to own?"
Seeing Xu Kai's quick words, Wang Xing offered a sincere price: "For 100 million, I will give you 20% of the shares of Tuangou.com. For 300 million, I will give you 49% of the shares of Tuangou.com."
Xu Kai laughed: "Why does this account seem a little wrong?"
Actually, Agou and Penguin Group were also optimistic about Wang Xing and the group buying network concept, but the two Ma's were authentic businessmen, and it was too ugly to eat up their popularity. Wang Xing was afraid that after bringing in these two giants, they would eat him up, and finally make him completely reduced to a worker.
As for Xu Kai, first of all, he is not a big shot, and secondly, he has a very good reputation.
Xu Kai has invested in Xingyun Express for several rounds and holds an absolute controlling stake in Xingyun Express, but Xu Kai has never interfered with the operation of Xingyun Express. He has never even been to the office building of Xingyun Express, and has not even deployed any personnel to Xingyun Express.
In fact, Lao Gui had strongly suggested that Xu Kai send a financial director and a legal director to Xingyun Express.
But in the end, this idea was rejected by Xu Kai.
Xu Kai is not a businessman. To him, feelings are more important than money.
Furthermore, Xu Kai felt that forcing two people to work at Xingyun Express would only increase the distance between him and Long Zijin. Therefore, Xu Kai insisted on letting Long Zijin do it. If he made money, that would be the best. If he didn't, he would just lose everything.
And at least so far, Xu Kai has done the right thing. Under the completely centralized leadership of Long Zijin, Xingyun Express has developed very rapidly, and Long Zijin also consciously gave Xu Kai a "hostage".
Outsiders don’t know the true relationship between Xu Kai and Long Zijin. All they see is that Xu Kai is willing to pay but will never interfere in the specific operations of Xingyun Express.
To take a step back, even if outsiders knew about the relationship between Xu Kai and Long Zijin, it would not affect their judgment of Xu Kai. You have to know that this involves the huge interests of a business empire. How could a person's code of conduct and character be changed because of a little thing between a man and a woman?
Therefore, Xu Kai is the most ideal investor for entrepreneurs like Wang Xing.
Wang Xing, who had ambitions to make the group buying website stronger and bigger, approached Xu Kai for this reason.
Now that he heard Xu Kai ask such a naive question, Wang Xing wanted Xu Kai to invest in the group buying network even more - because this kind of Xu Kai would not pretend to know everything and interfere in his business operations.
Based on this, Wang Xing patiently explained to Xu Kai: "Starting a business is different from buying vegetables. The price cannot be calculated by quantity. Well... let me tell you this. I am actually planning to raise 100 million yuan in this round, because 100 million yuan is enough for me at this stage, and my goal is only to release 20% of the shares."
After a pause, Wang Xing continued, "However, this 100 million yuan of funds will definitely not last long, so after this round of funds is raised, I will soon start the second round of financing, and my second round of financing target is 300 million yuan, and my goal is still to release 20% of the shares."
"Look, if you calculate it this way, I can raise 400 million yuan with 40% of the shares, and you only spent 300 million to get 49% of the shares. So, aren't you taking advantage?"
Wang Xing’s calculation is obviously wrong.
First of all, there is a time issue here.
Secondly, there is also a risk issue here.
The key is, the angel round looks at people, the A round looks at products, the B round looks at data, and the C round looks at models. Wang Xing now only has the structure of a group buying website plus a basic software. If no one invests in him in this round, he will not have the next round. Giving up 20% of the shares in the next round for 300 million is only a plan under the most ideal circumstances. As the saying goes, it is still a matter of chance, how can it be certain?
Wang Xing didn't really want to deceive Xu Kai, he just wanted to change Xu Kai's concept.
After all, people who really want to do big things cannot rely on lying, otherwise, their reputation will be ruined, and who will continue to invest in you?
Wang Xing said to Xu Kai very sincerely: "Qingyun, you have a good personality and you will not interfere with my business operations. That's why I am willing to cooperate with you for a long time. I am also willing to turn two rounds of financing into one round and make you my lifelong partner. If it were someone else, I would definitely control this round of financing to around 20%."
At this point, Wang Xing told Xu Kai the truth: "I am also afraid that after the capital comes in, I will be replaced. You may also know that I have experienced this once when I was running University.com. So this time when I choose a partner, I first look at the person."
After listening to Wang Xing's frank words, Xu Kai also said bluntly: "After I invest the money, is there any problem in sending a financial director and a legal director?"
Wang Xing is not Long Zijin, and Xu Kai and Wang Xing are not that close, so the necessary procedures must be followed.
Although this was definitely the right thing to do, Wang Xing naturally felt a little annoyed because of the comparison with Long Zijin.
Seeing this, Xu Kai said, "Don't worry, I won't interfere with your specific operations. I don't have the time. But, after all, I have to give you 300 million yuan, so I can't have no guarantee at all, right?"
Wang Xing agreed. Besides, Xu Kai only appointed a financial director and a legal director. He was really conscientious. If someone else invested so much money at once, they might go to his company in person to take charge.
After thinking about this, Wang Xing extended his hand to Xu Kai: "Happy cooperation."
Xu Kai shook hands with Wang Xing and said, "I'll make you another promise. No matter how much the equity structure of our group buying website changes in the future, as long as you don't mess around, I will definitely support you."
Wang Xing asked Xu Kai to invest in him because of this, so he tightened his grip and said, "Qingyun, with your words, I can definitely make our group buying website stronger and bigger. That... Qingyun, how long do you need to raise funds?"
Xu Kai said crisply: "I will send the legal team to discuss the contract with you tomorrow. After the contract is signed, I will transfer the money to you."
Wang Xing confirmed: "Will you pay the full amount of 300 million at once?"
"Um."
Seeing Xu Kai so happy and not even asking for the price, Wang Xing became even happier.
——Wang Xing, who has been an entrepreneur for many years and has dealt with many investment companies, knew when he saw Xu Kai was so quick-witted that Xu Kai was definitely not one of those ruthless businessmen who only cares about interests and not feelings. So as long as he gets along well with Xu Kai and as long as he doesn't make mistakes in principle, Xu Kai will definitely support him all the time.
So, after the two of them finished talking, Wang Xing treated Xu Kai as his good friend and introduced Xu Kai to many of his friends.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Many of Wang Xing’s friends are also entrepreneurs.
Upon learning that Xu Kai had invested 300 million yuan in Wang Xing, Wang Xing's friends began to talk to Xu Kai about their projects with shining eyes.
All things are difficult at the beginning, especially in the early stages of starting a business. Many people worry about funding issues. If the start-up capital is exhausted and there is no follow-up capital investment, it is easy for the business to fail.
It's no wonder these people take every opportunity to promote themselves and their projects.
And Xu Kai did not disappoint these people, at least he did not disappoint everyone - Xu Kai really based on his experience in his previous life, as an angel investor, he picked some companies that had found the right path and invested in them.
To be honest, as a person who has money and experience from the previous life, it is easiest to be an angel investment talent.
For example, there was a company called "Dami Mobile Phone". When Xu Kai heard that it was similar to Xiaomi Mobile Phone, he immediately invested 100 million yuan and got a 20% stake.
For example, there is a mobile application called "Short Video Platform" that is used to make and share GIF images. When Xu Kai heard about it, he thought, this is Kuaishou. He invested 100 million yuan and got a 20% stake.
For example, a technology company that applies artificial intelligence to mobile Internet scenarios is also an information technology company. The company's vision is to build a "global creation and communication platform" and "technology going overseas" is its core strategy for global development. When Xu Kai heard this, he realized that this was ByteDance, so he invested 200 million yuan without hesitation and took a 30% stake.
besides,
A company that mainly operates a free network security platform represented by antivirus and has businesses such as security brain, isn't this 360? Xu Kai invested 50 million to acquire 15% of the shares; the main business is the online sale of brand discount products on the Internet, covering major categories such as famous brand clothing, shoes and bags, beauty, mother and baby, and home furnishings. It is committed to creating an innovative e-commerce model of "famous brand discounts + limited-time purchases + authentic guarantee", and continues to deepen into a platform with an authentic special sale model of "selected brands + deep discounts + limited-time purchases". Isn't this Vipshop? Xu Kai invested 30 million to acquire 20% of the shares and arranged for it to cooperate with Xingyun Express; a powerful enriched communication tool - TT Voice It is a platform for music, with the goal of establishing a domestic live broadcast platform for national entertainment including music, technology, outdoor, sports, games and other contents. Wow, isn’t this YY? It only spent 10 million to get 30% of the shares; it strives to promote the competitive road of Chinese mass chess and card games, with the purpose of "promoting chess and card culture, gathering masters from all over the world, and enjoying the joy of competition", and with "user first, experience first, ambition and down-to-earth" as its business philosophy, it is committed to becoming a comprehensive Internet company that provides high-quality services such as chess, games, entertainment, and tools, creating all-round happiness for people's daily life, a bit like the competitive world, and 5 million to get 30% of the shares.
etc……
Anyway, angel round investment doesn't require a lot of money. Xu Kai just invests in whoever looks familiar or sounds familiar, feeling a bit like a nouveau riche.
Of course, so many projects were not invested on this day.
Xu Kai's reputation of "Come quickly if you are stupid and have a lot of money" became known, and those entrepreneurs who were short of money flocked to him.
To the extent that, for a long time in the future, there will be entrepreneurs running to the crews of "Shameful Iron Fist" and "Hello, Li Huanying" every day.
Investing seems difficult, but for Xu Kai, it is actually quite easy - Xu Kai only needs to pick out some that he thinks are good, make a decision and get the money. As for the specific details, Lao Gui and his students will help Xu Kai to perfect them.
Some people may ask, what if Xu Kai made a wrong investment? If he made a wrong investment, then he made a wrong investment. If Xu Kai made one or two of these investments correctly, even if he lost all the others, he would definitely make a profit.
Besides, although the worlds Xu Kai lived in in his two lives were different, their development processes were extremely similar. All the investments Xu Kai made were in line with the general trend. How many of them were wrong? As for whether Xu Kai had enough money? Of course, it was not enough. But it didn't matter. Xu Kai could earn money, or he could turn it over to the bank, or he could borrow from Zhu Bing, Yang Xinchun, Jin Yuanyuan, Yao Manling, etc. Anyway, there was definitely a way to solve it.
The key point is, although Xu Kai has invested in many projects, most of his investments are in the angel round, and at most in the A round. Very few have reached the B round. How much money can he use in total?
In short, Xu Kai set up his own investment company both intentionally and unintentionally.
Because Xu Kai invested in so many projects, he established a wholly-owned "Xu Capital" at the suggestion of Lao Gui to help entrepreneurs achieve sustainable success.
But these are all later stories, so let’s not talk about them for now.
Let’s just say that, in the eyes of outsiders, Xu Kai made a lot of money in the film and television industry, and then ran to the capital circle to become a nouveau riche and a money-spending boy.
Angel investors like Xu Kai, who are stupid, rich and not very involved, are naturally very popular. Especially when they heard that Xu Kai agreed to invest 300 million yuan in Wang Xing's group buying website at this cocktail party alone, many people immediately surrounded Xu Kai.
This also made Xu Kai one of the most popular people at the party.
Xu Kai chatted and laughed with these people, and these people also tried their best to make Xu Kai happy.
Dong Ni, Shi Jiahui, Shen Hehe and Si Peizhi, who were unaware of the situation, especially Shi Jiahui, saw that Xu Kai was still able to thrive in this high-end circle. Her eyes were full of stars, and she swallowed her saliva. She even couldn't help but squeeze her legs that were blocked by her skirt. She thought to herself: "I must work hard to win him down. I must not let such a good man escape!"
With this in mind, Shi Jiahui has been paying attention to Xu Kai's every move.
More than an hour later, Shi Jiahui found that her opportunity had come - Xu Kai went to the bathroom.
After Xu Kai disappeared from everyone's sight, Shi Jiahui said to Dong Ni, Shen Hehe, Si Peizhi and Li Changyi who were still chatting, "You guys continue chatting. I'm going to the bathroom."
Dong Ni was telling Shen Hehe, Si Peizhi and Li Changyi that when Xu Kai went to record the show "The Voice of China" a few days ago, two dancing girls from the dance troupe knocked on Xu Kai's door and said they wanted to take a shower here. Xu Kai was talking to Yang Xinchun in the room at the time, and thought that Yang Xinchun was still in the room and the two girls could not have other thoughts, so he let them in. But surprisingly, the two girls took off their pants in front of Xu Kai and Yang Xinchun as soon as they entered the room, and then said to Xu Kai, "Brother Yu, do you want to try us? We will definitely not let you down," and said that the four of us could play together.
Shen Hehe, Si Peizhi and Li Changyi were listening attentively and probably heard what Shi Jiahui said to them.
As a result, Shi Jiahui was able to go to the bathroom alone to find Xu Kai.
Shi Jiahui lingered at the door of the men's restroom for a long time, but still didn't dare to rush in to find Xu Kai.
Not long after, Xu Kai came out of the bathroom and saw Shi Jiahui wandering around the bathroom door. He asked in astonishment, "What are you doing here?"
When Shi Jiahui heard this, she quickly came to Xu Kai and said with a wronged look on her face: "Brother Yun, you must help me~"
"Help you? Help you with what?" Xu Kai asked.
Shi Jiahui hugged Xu Kai's arm and said, "Just now, a girl named Jin Zaomu came over to chat with me, Zhizhi and Hehe, and Nini was unhappy, thinking that she was worse than the three of us. Then Hehe said that Jin Zaomu might have seen that Nini was not a virgin, so he didn't chat with her. Then I was the second one to be chatted up by Jin Zaomu, so I must be a virgin. In fact, I am indeed a virgin, but Zhizhi refused to believe it and slandered me. Brother Yun, you have to help me prove it."
"Well……"
Xu Kai was stunned and said: "Proof, how can I help you prove it..."
At this point, Xu Kai realized that Shi Jiahui was seducing him, and she was afraid that he would dislike her because of her bad reputation, so she came to tell him that she was a virgin to dispel his doubts.
Xu Kai just drank some red wine with Wang Xing and others.
Taking advantage of the alcohol, Xu Kai hugged Shi Jiahui.
When Shi Jiahui saw this, she was not surprised but happy!
Xu Kai asked condescendingly: "You are really brave."
Shi Jiahui met Xu Kai's gaze and said, "I heard that you men like your women to be like ladies in the living room, like housewives in the kitchen, and like sluts in bed. I am willing to work hard for you."
And Xu Kai did not hesitate. Taking advantage of the alcohol, he kissed Shi Jiahui directly.
“Hmm…”
Shi Jiahui doesn't know how to kiss.
But Shi Jiahui was very smart - she didn't know how to kiss, so she just closed her eyes and let Xu Kai kiss her as he pleased.
The little girl has a sweet mouth.
After kissing for a while, Xu Kai remembered that there seemed to be no one in the bathroom.
So Xu Kai took Shi Jiahui into the bathroom...
