Open business day-to-day

Chapter 411 Start financing

Time flies, and it enters July in an instant.

In the early morning, Lin Rui opened his eyes and looked at Su Hongxiu, who was sleeping soundly in his arms. The snow-white and crystal-clear skin, the uneven figure, and the graceful curve of the chest were simply a beautiful landscape, which made people move Do not open your eyes.

Lin Rui took a long breath, suppressed his small thoughts, and started to get up to do his daily exercise tasks.

Running every morning, practicing boxing and sword practice has almost become his habit.

Of course, there is another thing today, the new January is coming, and it is another day to receive rewards.

After washing up and sitting on the sofa in the living room, Lin Rui's heart moved, and the system emerged.

System: The company under the user's name is developing well, the potential is further extended, and various businesses are advancing in an orderly manner with excellent performance.

According to the salary model deduction, the reward amount for this month is 40 billion.

This amount is not bad, meeting Lin Rui's expectations.Next up are rewards for daily quests.

System: The user's daily task completion rating is 57, and 50.00% of the reward will be used as an additional reward. The reward amount is 22 billion.

The total reward amount is 62.8 billion, do you want to receive it?

The following are the three collection channels.

A transfer into his private account.

One is transferred to Weiyin International Investment Company.

One is to directly transfer to Xingkong Technology Group.

Lin Rui thought about it for a while, and transferred a fraction of [-] million to his private account.

The other 60 billion will be directly transferred to the account of Xingkong Technology Group.

Last month, with the addition of more than 50 billion rewards, Xingkong Technology Group's account funds exceeded 80 billion.

However, it cost 23 billion to invest in several mobile phone companies, and 50 million to invest in Huadu Design Company. In addition to the company's daily expenses, there are only more than [-] billion left in the account.

Adding in the 60 billion just injected, the cash in Star Control Technology Group's account once again exceeded 110 billion.

On the other hand, in Weiyang Technology's account, there are only more than 50 billion cash left. Large-scale expansion, establishment of many R&D centers overseas, and raising so many top talents are really expensive.

Lin Rui is also considering whether it is time for Weiyang Technology to start financing, raising a large amount of cash to accelerate the company's development.

At this point, he couldn't make up his mind at the moment.

"Forget it, hold a high-level meeting today and discuss it!"

These thoughts rushed through his mind, Lin Rui stood up and started to complete the daily exercise tasks.

……

At around nine o'clock in the morning, the company's large conference room and Weiyang's senior executives have all arrived.

Lin Rui looked around for a week, and then said: "Since the launch of the WeChat official account function, WeChat's transformation from a communication software to a social platform has been smooth, and it has aroused great repercussions, and the performance of various data is extremely impressive. So far , Wechat domestic users reached 1.1 million, the overseas version of WhatsApp users reached 4.5 million, and the total global users reached 5.6 million.”

"With the popularization of smartphones, WeChat, which has already dominated the mobile social field, will have more users in the future, breaking through one billion, two billion... It is not far away, and even breaking through three billion is not impossible."

"This potential is not only felt by us, but also by the world's top venture capitalists. During this period, they have been inquiring about financing matters."

"As an Internet company, an Internet company that has internationalized, overseas business will also be our main business in the future."

"The company's future listing location, not surprisingly, is also overseas."

"It is inevitable to attract cornerstone investors to help the company better integrate into the international market, obtain a large amount of cash flow, and accelerate the company's development."

"During this period, so many top venture capitals around the world have come to us for consultation on financing matters, and the company has also selected some tentative contacts. Some conditions are even good."

Speaking of this, Lin Rui turned his head to look at Zhao Yan and said, "Mr. Zhao, you are in charge of this. Let me introduce you to everyone and listen to everyone's opinions?"

Zhao Yan nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Lin."

"During this period, including Goldman Sachs, Sequoia, Softbank, IDG, UBS, Deutsche Bank, Carlyle Capital, Fidelity Investments, DFJ, Walden International... as well as domestic Shenzhen Venture Capital, Gaoling Capital, Ding Huihui Capital, Pension Insurance Fund, National Venture Capital Fund, etc...nearly [-] top venture capital and funds at home and abroad have contacted us."

"Among them, the highest valuation was given by Goldman Sachs, which directly gave 550 billion U.S. dollars."

"Softbank's offer is also good, giving 510 billion US dollars."

"Sequoia reported $480 billion."

"IDG, UBS, Deutsche Bank, Fidelity, the largest investment fund in the United States, and domestic high-collar capital all gave a valuation of US$450 billion."

"The valuation given by Kane Capital and DFJ is also more than 400 billion US dollars. The rest are below 400 billion US dollars, and some even give a valuation of 300 to [-] billion US dollars, which is no longer considered."

As soon as Zhao Yan finished speaking, the scene was a little quiet for a while. Although we knew that Weiyang Technology is very hot in the capital market now, and now we see so many top talents in the world entering the field, even the national team can't stand up, it's still shocking.

After a while, Han Yunsong stopped the shock in his heart and said with emotion: "I remember that the Internet company with the highest market value in China is Baidu. In the first half of this year, the highest market value reached 460 billion U.S. dollars, but now it has fallen back, leaving 430 billion U.S. dollars. Dollar."

"Tencent's highest market capitalization once reached 3000 billion Hong Kong dollars, about 410 billion US dollars. With the rise of WeChat, they are firmly seated on the world's largest mobile social software, and their core advantages in social networking are no longer there. The recent stock price has fallen a lot. Less. Now the market value is more than 300 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is more than 320 billion U.S. dollars.”

"There is also Ali, based on the price of repurchasing shares from Yahoo, the valuation is also more than 300 billion U.S. dollars."

"However, according to the valuation of US$550 billion given by Goldman Sachs, Weiyang Technology is already the most valuable Internet company in China."

Having said that, the tone is a little excited.

Not only him, but also the executives present were a little excited and suddenly realized after hearing this.It turns out that Weiyang Technology has developed to this point without knowing it.

Even Lin Rui was a little stunned for a moment. He had just started his business for more than two years. With the help of these business elites under him, he made such a big effort and unexpectedly achieved such a great achievement.

Next, the atmosphere became active, and everyone looked a little excited, their faces were rosy, as if they had taken ginseng tonic, and they spoke enthusiastically.

Most of them are in favor of formally opening the A round of financing to pave the way for the listing of Weiyang Technology in the future.

In Lin Rui's heart, he was gradually inclined to start the A round of financing.However, the valuation is still a little different from what he imagined, so it needs to be considered in the long run.

The value of Weiyang Technology in his heart is not only 550 billion US dollars.

The meeting, which lasted for more than an hour, ended with Lin Rui officially announcing that Weiyang Technology had opened its A round of financing.

The next day, under the instruction of Lin Rui, the news that Weiyang Technology officially opened the A round of financing spread instantly, which caused quite a shock in the venture capital circle.

During this period of time, those venture capitalists who have been paying attention to Weiyang Technology suddenly couldn't sit still. In an instant, many of the world's top venture capitalists rushed to Los Angeles to participate in this investment feast.

Then, more gossip came out that Goldman Sachs had offered a valuation of US$550 billion for Weiyang Technology.

When this news was exposed by the news media, it quickly spread and caused great shock in the country.

It has only been established for more than two years, and at the beginning of the A round of financing, the valuation has directly surpassed the three Internet giants of BAT, which have been established for more than ten years, and directly climbed to the top of domestic Internet companies. This is a hot topic.

Countless media rushed to tell each other and rushed to Luocheng. This super-large-scale financing was not only a capital feast, but also a media feast.

Headlines for the next month or two.

While the outside world was turmoil, Weiyang Technology also began to get busy. Lin Rui knew his level in the negotiation and financial fields, and the specific details of financing and negotiations were handed over to Zhao Yan and Li Yaqin. He was only responsible for the general direction.

Of course, Lin Rui was not idle either. He had something not inferior to financing, and he needed to personally preside over and check it out.

First of all, since it is necessary to open financing for Weiyang Technology, in order to ensure the maximum benefit, it is not appropriate to put some industries under the name of Weiyang Technology.

Such as microbank payment.

Looking at how much effort Lao Ma has put in to make Alipay independent, how much criticism he has received, and even the two major shareholders of Yahoo and Softbank who almost fell out, you will know how important online payment is.

Although, so far, Lin Rui has not seen the great potential of online payment in the future.But since Lao Ma did this and paid such a high price, it must be impossible for no reason.

Naturally, it was impossible for Lin Rui to be so confused.

If the value is not reflected now, it does not mean that there will be no value in the future.

In order to avoid future troubles, Lin Rui directly separated Weiyin Payment from Weiyang Technology and put it under the name of Xingkong Technology Group.

In addition, there are some industries that are not closely related to the main business of Weiyang Technology, such as the shares of Zhongyuan Bank, the shares of Pingshan Cultural Tourism Company...all of which were transferred by Lin Rui to the name of Xingkong Technology Group.

The most important thing is that Weiyang Technology Investment Fund was also split into two by Lin Rui, and a Star Technology Investment Fund was re-established under the name of Star Technology Group.

The shares held by Weiyang Science and Technology Investment Fund have also been cut, those who are currently of low value, or are not recognized by these world's top venture capital.In Lin Rui's eyes, the future is of great value, and most of them have been transferred to the Star Technology Investment Fund.

For example, Weiyang Technology currently holds 50.00% of the shares in Ele.me, Lin Rui transferred 40.00% of the shares to Star Technology Investment Fund, and Weiyang Technology retained 14.00%.

Weiyang Technology currently holds 30.00% of the shares of Meituan, and Lin Rui directly transfers 20.00% of it to the Star Technology Investment Fund, and Weiyang Technology retains [-]%.

Weiyang Technology continued to follow up Xiaomi's C round of financing in May, and currently holds 20.00% of Xiaomi's shares.

Lin Rui transferred 20.00% of Xiaomi shares to Xingkong Technology Investment Fund, and Weiyang Technology kept 5.00%.

In addition, there are DJI drones, Zhihu, Berry Berry, Uxing, Didi, Toutiao, etc., and the shares of nearly [-] companies have been transferred to the Star Technology Investment Fund.

These start-up companies are basically favored by Lin Rui and Zhao Yan, but they cannot reflect their own value in a short time.

It is obviously a bit of a loss to raise funds together under the name of Weiyang Technology. It is better to spin off most of the shares and put them under the name of Xingkong Technology.

As for the remaining part of the shares, it is used to maintain the connection between Weiyang Technology and these companies.

However, for those start-up companies that are closely related to Weiyang Technology and directly generate benefits, their shares of Lin Rui have not been divested.

For example, Weiyang Technology has invested in so many game companies and various software companies during this period... the shares are still held by Weiyang Technology.

In addition, Weiyang Technology has also shared various patents and technologies of the origin operating system with Xingkong Technology Group.

In the future, Xingkong Technology Group has the right to use these patents and technologies to develop corresponding mobile phone and computer operating systems by using the ecosystem of the origin operating system.

These chores, even though Lin Rui was in charge in person, had been busy for more than ten days before they were gradually sorted out.The various businesses and responsibilities of Weiyang Technology and Xingkong Technology Group have also been clearly divided.

Although the venture capitalists couldn't clearly understand Lin Rui's actions, they naturally felt them.

However, they don't care too much. They are most optimistic about WeChat, which is also the biggest reason for investing in Weiyang Technology.

In addition, Weiyang Weibo, which ranks first in China, is also the focus of their attention; the same is true of Weiyang Technology's cloud computing; there is also a relatively profitable game business.

"Shangdong", the largest original music platform in China; Youyi, the largest live broadcast website in China; "Weiyue Culture Media", the largest online literature and media company in China; "Youshi Video", one of the largest video websites in China... These are also very popular They are favored.

As for the others, they don't pay much attention to them. As long as the above-mentioned industries are not divested, the valuation of Weiyang Technology will have little impact.

However, although these industries have not been divested, they have undergone considerable changes.

For example, Weiyue Culture Media Company has developed relatively maturely and can maintain a balance of profit and loss without too much blood transfusion.

Lin Rui assigned 40.00% of the shares to Xingkong Technology Group to prepare for the domestic listing in the future.

Weiyang Technology still holds 60.00% of the shares and maintains a controlling position.

There is also the original platform of Shangdong Music, which holds [-] to [-] music copyrights. It was also independent by Lin Rui and established Shangdong Music Media Company.

Xingkong Technology Group holds 40.00% of the shares, and the remaining 60.00% of the shares are still held by Weiyang Technology, maintaining a controlling position.

These two companies are relatively mature and can develop independently, and the dispersion of equity is conducive to listing.

As for the Youshi video platform and Youyi live broadcast platform, the current scale is not large, and Weiyang Technology needs to provide a lot of traffic and financial support. It is better to keep them in the company's system.

Busy and busy, it wasn't until mid-July that Lin Rui was free to take care of these things.
