The days of filming in Azure Star

Chapter 164 Series A Financing

But he didn't expect Tang Bao, an artist, to be one of the founders of the company.

Peng Ying added: "Mr. Tang Bao is the initial investor of our company. The company's initial capital, brand name, and business model were all provided by Mr. Tang."

Because Tang Bao was mainly responsible for the specific conversations that followed, Peng Ying only planned to be an assistant.

She was also afraid that the three capitalists would see Tang Bao clearly.

That's why I added these specifically.

The three veterans have been on the battlefield of capital for so long. They are so shrewd. As soon as Peng Ying spoke, they understood what Peng Ying meant.

That is the next financing, and Tang Bao will continue to discuss with them.

No wonder Peng Ying just introduced her project to us yesterday.

But as soon as she and others raised the issue of financing, Peng Ying would interrupt with a smile.

Originally thought that Peng Ying hadn't considered it well, and wanted to think about it more, but now Tang Bao appeared in front of them.

They finally realized that it was because Tang Bao was not there that Peng Ying didn't have an in-depth conversation with them.

Mr. Li from Jinshajiang was the first to speak: "So it's director Tang Da! I've seen your previous movie! "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is very good."

Tang Bao was really recognized by the public, or the upper class, because of this movie.

Although the box office of this film is very unsatisfactory, it can't stand the award!
On the vines, the ratings of this movie are also flying all the way online.

It quickly entered the TOP250 best movie list.

It is in stark contrast to the previous pass marks.

And Tang Bao himself is also known as the best director of the new generation, the future successor of Huaxia Film.

Under the hype of many media, anyone who pays attention to any media platform will know this matter.

As a result, Tang Bao came into the public's field of vision.

As for Mr. Li and others, no matter whether they have watched Tang Bao's movie or not.

In short, when we talk about work now, we still need to have some necessary business exchanges.

Don't care if you look at it or not, anyway, it looks good and it's over.

Reach out and don't hit the smiling man.

The other party showed kindness.

Tang Bao would also like to say a few nice words: "You are all seniors in the investment industry, and I am just a newcomer. If you have the opportunity in the future, please take care of me!"

Next, several bosses praised Tang Bao for being young and promising.

Tang Bao boasted that several people had unique vision and strong strength.

After several rounds, the two sides finally came to the core process of the meeting.

Financing.

Mr. Li and the others are also very optimistic about this project.

A new business model, a new concept of shared culture.

The keen sense of capital tells them that this concept may take over the entire market within two or three years.

So they are the first capital to come into contact, if they can participate.

The help to the future can be described as huge.

It's just that the price tag needs to be discussed.

All three are representatives of the capital side.

If you want to invest in the end, it is generally first to determine the share and price that the project can take out.

Then the three capital parties will discuss on their own how to allocate the proportion.

Tang Bao was very clear and gave the data directly:

"First of all, let me talk about the company's capital situation. The first round of angel financing, that is, I personally invested 4000 million, accounting for 20.00% of the shares."

"Although I own a total of 40.00%20.00 of the shares, the remaining [-]%[-] is the shares enjoyed as a partner."

"Everyone should know a good idea, so much value, is it completely reasonable, right?"

As soon as Tang Bao opened his mouth, he completely changed the situation at that time.

When Tang Bao invested, he didn't discuss the specific situation with Peng Ying, but this did not affect Tang Bao's slight processing on the original basis.

Making the company's valuation higher in the last round will benefit Tang Bao's next negotiations.

Mr. Li and the three nodded. This is how this industry works.

Especially for start-up projects, even if you have no company, no people, no products.

But as long as you have a good idea, the company will invest money in you.

As long as a good idea is recognized by the company, you will have more than 100 million in the angel round.

Tang Bao took the financial analysis form and said to the three:
"At that time, the company was poor and had nothing. If you look at the financial statements, this can prove that the company has indeed spent so much money. I didn't lie to you about this."

Mr. Li took the report and the three of them looked at it carefully, and it was indeed as Tang Bao said.

Tang Bao smiled: "Many teams will falsify data, but our company invests real money in this aspect. Bosses can arrange for inspections by themselves."

Mr. Zhao smiled and said, "We believe in you."

Of course, if you say that, you still need to investigate in private.

Tang Bao went on to say:

"Very good, then we now have a foundation of mutual trust! According to the previous financing ratio, the valuation of the entire company is around 2 million."

"You all know the current development of the company. We need a large sum of money to accelerate the company's development and seize the national market!"

"The financing share this time is also around 20.00%. The target financing amount is 30 billion."

"This is our company's goal, what do you bosses think?"

The representatives of the three capital companies looked at each other, they didn't know that Tang Bao's appetite was so big.

A mouth is three billion.

This is completely beyond their initial valuation and budget.

Mr. Li's expression darkened, and he said, "Mr. Tang, maybe you haven't changed from being a filmmaker to a qualified businessman yet?"

"Before you invested 4000 million, the company's valuation was only 2 million, but after only a few months, the company has reached 150 billion in your heart?"

Tang Bao had expected the reaction from the capital side, so he went on to say: "I think the value of this project definitely has this amount. And when this sum of money comes in, we can promise that no one in the company will make an advance payment." car."

"All the 30 billion funds raised will be used for the development of the company. Neither Peng Ying nor I will cash out."

Mr. Li was stunned. He didn't expect Tang Bao to say that.

Originally he thought that Tang Bao offered this price just to cash out and leave, but after Tang Bao said this.Mr. Li said he had doubts again.

"Our advantage lies in the support of the government and the priority of market occupation."

Tang Bao took out a data sheet and gave it to the three capital representatives.

"You can take a look at the information you have. The first one is the company's recent purchase order for the bicycle project."

"The second is the company's specific allocation of funds."

"I believe that after reading the watch, the three of you will come to the conclusion that the company is vigorously expanding its raw materials."

"And the quantity far exceeds the current demand in the Hangzhou market. Do you know why?"

Mr. Li pondered for a moment and then said: "Do you plan to directly occupy other markets in the future?"

Tang Bao nodded: "That's right, the reason why the company has not reduced orders for bicycles even though the Hangzhou market has been fully occupied is because the company plans to occupy the national market within the next year!"

"Note that the national market here does not refer to a few large cities and several first-tier cities."

"Instead, it includes most of the third- and fourth-tier cities across the country."

"In the coming year, the company will focus on the economically developed eastern regions. I dare not say that we can set foot in so many cities across the country. But at least the top cities in terms of economy will have little blue cars."

"Especially in big cities with developed tourism industry, it will be our focus."

"In the future, sharing culture will become fashionable, and the slogan of green travel will raise the overall development of the company to a higher level."

"So, you don't have to worry about not making money in the future."

"In my plan, with these 30 billion, basically most of the market can be spread."

"The company's manpower reserve department is already operating at full capacity."

"Once this winter is over, people, cars, and money will take Hangzhou as the starting point, and the first-tier cities across the country will cover the surrounding cities and take root."

"When other companies with this idea react, we don't know how far ahead we are."

"This stage has stabilized, and we will continue to raise the B round. At this time, the figure of the little blue car has appeared in front of the people of the whole country."

"Facing an emerging industry, do you think other capital parties will not be tempted?"

Tang Bao looked at the three with a smile: "You are all industry elites, you should know how much the express car industry is worth now, right?"

"Nearly 4000 billion!"

"Relying on an idea, they connected all the taxis to the Internet and made use of those idle resources."

"This is worth 4000 billion!"

"Bicycle projects, like taxis, have a huge market demand, and his advanced cultural concepts will be recognized by more and more people in the future!"

"Compared with taxis, what we have more advantage is the bicycle itself, which is our asset."

"Two yuan for a moped ride. Within a year, it is enough to pay back."

"Even if the expected scrapping time is two years, the remaining year is pure profit."

“The bigger the market is, the higher the value generated.”

“Of course, I only consider this from the perspective of actual operation of the project.”

“Whether it’s for me or everyone here, two or three years is not a long time to make a profit, but it’s better to cash out as soon as possible.”

Mr. Li and the three of them all smiled. The operation of capital is inseparable from cash flow.

They pursue short-term high investment returns and mainly rely on the transfer of shares to make money.

Really wait until the company pays dividends, and those investors can find several projects if they have this time.

"In the B round, if you want, you can cash out part of it, but not too much. On the premise of not affecting the company's development, you can get off the car early."

"Of course, I believe that it will not be so short-term. After the B round of financing, the company has really stepped up to a higher level."

"The next C round, D round, and even E round will be the time for us to finally enjoy the fruits!"

Mr. Li and the others were moved by Tang Bao's words.

I was also taken aback by what Tang Bao described.

Within a year, occupy the entire market!

What an amazing goal!
Although the three of them didn't really believe it, after Tang Bao's analysis.

They felt that Tang Bao's idea was not necessarily completely impossible.

What is invested in?It’s a project, and it’s even more important to invest in this person.

Tang Bao's market analysis and project layout.

The thinking is clear and organized.

In Tang Bao's plan, the market value of a unicorn like Express can't be said, at least it will reach an actual value of 300 billion or [-] billion.

That's perfectly fine.

All capital representatives are veterans in the industry, and when the time comes, they will operate and hype behind the scenes, and finally reach the highest valuation of 500 billion.

It is also possible.

As long as this market is monopolized, it is huge profits.

Even if the actual value is not so high, the capital will fry you to the sky.

Tang Bao also believed in their methods very much.

In just one year, it is 3-4 times the profit.

That's really not small.

You know, they all take hundreds of millions as the basic unit.

If you triple your 100 yuan, it will be 3 yuan.

If you double it by hundreds of millions, you will make a steady profit of more than one billion.

The three of them were a little moved by what Tang Bao said.

However, in terms of price, it is definitely the best to be able to suppress it.

Mr. Li said: "I didn't expect Mr. Tang's words to be so reasonable. But the valuation of 150 billion will definitely be worth it in the future. Now, it's a bit inflated."

Tang Bao didn't rush: "I know what you mean. If you feel that the investment is too much, you can reduce it completely. We can start the B round as soon as possible. This is not in conflict."

"If you think I'm not worth the price, or if I don't have the ability to do it, then you can find other companies to support such a project."

"Anyway, everyone has strong capital behind them, and it will be good to compete in the market at that time."

Mr. Qian, who hadn't spoken all this time, said: "At this price, 30 billion, if Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li can't afford the money, I, Fengxing, will pay!"

Sure enough, it is backed by a large group with strong financial resources, and it doesn't bat an eyelid to spend this little money.

Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li looked at each other: "Okay, then we'll follow suit."

They just want to lower the price. The project itself is still very good, and they are willing to join in.

Now that someone between them spoke first, they had no choice but to give up.

Although they sometimes have the same position.But in the face of interests, you also need to fight for yourself.

Capital is called capital because they only invest and do not participate in actual operations.

They don't have time to go shirtless and walk off in person.

This is so cheap.

It is true that multi-line investment sits firmly on Diaoyutai.

But judging from Tang Bao's meaning, other companies want to enter this industry.

You have to see what he means first.

For Internet projects, one step ahead is a huge advantage.

What's more, Tang Bao, the leader, is laying out the entire land of China with an astonishing rhythm.

His thinking, layout, and vision all shocked the big shots present.
