On July 1st, the morning sun shone on the courtyard of Chiwan Villa, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves.
As usual, Chen Ze got up early, put on his sportswear, and went out for a run.
He jogged slowly along the paths in the villa area, breathing in the fresh air and appreciating the beauty of nature. When he returned to the villa after completing a lap, he was greeted by the melodious chirping of birds.
Chen Ze entered the villa, a towel in his hand, and headed straight for the bathroom.
He turned on the cold tap, letting the icy water wash over his body, instantly feeling refreshed. Ten minutes later, he finished showering, stepped out of the bathroom, and exuded a fresh scent.
Liu Bingjie was already waiting in the living room. She was holding a clean set of clothes and handed them to Chen Ze with a smile. Chen Ze took the clothes, quickly changed, and looked refreshed.
Before leaving, Wang Siyu, heavily pregnant, walked over and gently straightened his collar, saying with concern, "Honey, drink less tonight and come home early."
Chen Ze smiled and nodded, then gently kissed her forehead. "I understand. You can stay home and rest well during your pregnancy."
Then, Amy came over and handed Chen Ze her handbag, saying, "Honey, here's your bag."
Chen Ze smiled as he took the handbag, then kissed Liu Bingjie and Amy on the forehead to express his love and gratitude.
With everything ready, Chen Ze turned and walked out of the house. When he reached the front door, Zhao Youde had already been waiting by the car for quite some time.
Upon seeing his boss emerge, Zhao Youde immediately went to greet him and opened the back door of the car for him.
Chen Ze smiled and nodded to Zhao Youde, then got into the car. The Cullinan started slowly and drove smoothly out of the villa area.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the company. It was already nine o'clock in the morning, and Chen Ze arrived at his post on time, beginning another busy day.
As soon as Chen Ze stepped into the office, before he could even sit down, his secretary rushed up to him and handed him an exquisite invitation.
Chen Ze was somewhat surprised. He took the invitation and asked curiously, "Who gave me this invitation?"
The secretary shook her head and replied, "Boss, I don't know either. This was given to me by Xiaomei at the front desk. She said it was a special invitation for you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ze's curiosity grew even stronger. He carefully tore open the envelope, took out the invitation inside, and examined it closely. When he saw the inviter's name, he was stunned—Ge Weidong, the investor of Chaos Investors!
Ge Weidong is a household name in the investment world; he's hailed as a futures trading genius and known as the "Northern Emperor." Chen Ze couldn't help but wonder why Ge Weidong would invite him. He and Ge Weidong seemed to have no connection whatsoever.
Chen Ze continued reading and discovered that the event was scheduled for noon today at the Regent International Hotel in Luofu District. He wondered to himself, what important matter did Ge Weidong have to discuss with him at the hotel?
Just as Chen Ze was deep in thought, the internal phone on his computer desk suddenly rang. He quickly went around the desk and pressed the speakerphone button.
On the other end of the phone came Xiao Mei's pleasant voice: "Chairman, the president of Sequoia Capital is looking for you. Should I arrange for him to go to the VIP reception room, or should I have him come directly to your office?"
A thought struck Chen Ze: Could Shen Nanpeng's contact at this time also be about investment? He fell into deep thought...
After a moment's thought, Chen Ze said, "Let him come to my office."
A short while later, Shen Nanpeng entered the office, led by Xiao Mei.
With a smile, Shen Nanpeng extended his hand and said, "President Chen, I've heard so much about you. It's nice to see you again."
Chen Ze stood up and shook hands in response: "Mr. Shen, you're too kind. May I ask what brings you here today?"
Shen Nanpeng got straight to the point: "Our Sequoia Capital is very interested in your Panda Takeaway platform and would like to discuss investment cooperation with you."
Chen Ze smiled slightly. Just as he had guessed, this guy had his eye on his food delivery company. He invited Shen Nanpeng to sit down.
Shen Xiyu immediately came over to boil water and make tea for them.
Chen Ze handed him a cigarette and joked, "President Chen, you know I have Gray Wolf Venture Capital, so why did you still come all this way to invest?"
Shen Nanpeng smiled slightly, “President Chen, although your Grey Wolf Investment has sufficient funds, it is still a little less than our Sequoia Capital. Moreover, Sequoia Capital not only has enough funds, but more importantly, we also have strong connections. If Panda Takeout is preparing to go public in the United States, then Sequoia Capital is the only choice.”
Shen Nanpeng elaborated on the advantages and disadvantages of Sequoia Capital.
After listening to the other party's explanation, Chen Ze knew that he was telling the truth. After all, Sequoia Capital was backed by a Jewish financial group, and its strength was beyond doubt. If Panda Takeaway was considering going public, it would definitely need the support of Sequoia Capital.
Chen Ze picked up his teacup, took a sip of hot tea, and then asked, "President Shen, what is your current valuation of Panda Takeout?"
"Based on Panda Takeaway's current revenue and promising development prospects, we value it at 45 billion RMB," said Shen Nanpeng.
Chen Ze had previously asked An Yumo to evaluate the value of the product, which was around 42 billion yuan, while Sequoia Capital's offer of 45 billion yuan was much higher.
Chen Ze glanced at him and said seriously, "President Chen, the valuation you gave is indeed very tempting, but I need to discuss it with the other shareholders before I can give you an answer."
