The rebirth of the wife and children

Chapter 322

Zhang Yiming did not dispute this tone, he said: "On the way here, I had a communication with Mr. Jin, the full-time investment manager of our company, and I asked him to make an estimate for Paike according to the highest valuation. He told me that now The reasonable price of the stage is 5 million US dollars, which is already overestimated, but I know you, Shang Dong, and I know that if you follow this valuation, you will definitely not agree."

"You're right, this price..." Shang Fuhai swung his right index finger left and right: "It's low."

Zhang Yiming continued: "So I didn't continue to discuss with Mr. Jin at that time. I knew that his valuation was based on public data and a certain amount of premium. This is also a reference value for other companies or projects. But according to my understanding of you, Shang Dong, this reference is of little significance, so I had an estimate in my mind at the time, and I think it should be more reasonable to calculate based on the estimate of 7-10 million US dollars..."

"So where now?"

The boss Zhang Lima smiled wryly: "I originally thought that the first profit point of Pai Ke is advertising space, but I didn't expect you, Dong Shang, to think more long-term, and you have already considered the second and third steps, and I'm not even sure now. Shang Dong, have you considered the fifth step and the sixth step, to be honest, Shang Dong, you are still so meticulous and exhaustive, I admire you."

"It's really long-winded, wouldn't it be better to be straightforward." Shang Fuhai didn't listen to his flattery, so he had to stick to his heart at this time.

It's so good to say that a car is so good, but the real banknotes are more reassuring.

Looking at Shang Fuhai's reluctance, Zhang Yiming knew that his thoughts were in vain. The next moment he clenched his fist with his left hand and stretched his five fingers with his right hand: "15 billion US dollars valuation, A round, how about it?"

"Tell me your reason, Mr. Zhang, the same sentence, I am not short of money now." Shang Fuhai didn't say a word, is he short of money? Further strategic partners.

Xu Fei and Jin Guanghan each chose some food and brought them back on clean plates. Seeing Shang Fuhai and Zhang Yiming discussing and communicating seriously, neither of them disturbed them.

Then I heard Zhang Yiming say: "According to my experience, for a new project, whether it is news, video, or instant messaging products, the first thing to consider from the day it is born is to polish and develop the product. Maintenance and replacement, operation is a later thing, but I found from Paikeke that the first stage of polishing and maintenance update is almost non-existent, even if there are some small flaws, patch maintenance is done quickly, what does this mean? ..."

When Lao Zhang talked about improvisation, he couldn't help but spread his hands: "It means that from your point of view, this product is currently very mature and meets expectations. From my personal point of view, the video is stable and the picture quality is stable. Clear, especially the use of various very mature special effects, I have nothing to criticize, I think these are all Shang Dong's ideas, I know that Lao Liang has not considered this step."

"In addition, let's ignore the product itself. Just now, Shang Dong, you also told me about Paike's three major revenue streams in the future. Advertising revenue must be the first. As far as I know, Paike is already doing it now, and The live broadcast and product hyperlinks mentioned by Dong Shang just now, although I haven’t seen the specific products yet, I believe that since Dong Dong said it, he must be sure..."

Shang Fuhai said calmly: "But Paike's current ranking of similar products is indeed not high..."

"Shang Dong, do you think I will value that? You can operate Paike to the point where you are now in such a short period of time. I also believe that in the next six months or even a year or two, Paike will definitely be a similar product. The best product in the world." Zhang Yiming was about to persuade Shang Fuhai in turn with bitter tears.

This made Jin Guanghan who was sitting next to him very depressed. Boss, can we be more reserved?

Xu Fei didn't understand what they were talking about, and didn't participate in the discussion between the two of them, so she ate a little snack first.

She and Shang Fuhai had just finished lunch not long ago, and it was mainly Zhang Yiming and his team who were hungry.

"Zhang Dong, don't just talk, you have worked hard all the way here, let's eat and chat." Xu Fei interrupted their conversation at the right time: "I just brought something here with this Boss Jin at random, you See what else you want to eat, tell me, I'll go get some more, it's all our own restaurant, the quality and safety must be strictly controlled, and the taste is also invited to the famous national special chef."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I talked too speculatively with Mr. Shang just now. Mrs. Shang said so, I am indeed a little hungry. I can just go and get it myself. You guys eat first. I will go shopping with Mr. Shang." Zhang Yiming modestly for a moment.

Shang Fuhai got up to accompany him. Not many people here knew Shang Fuhai, and not many people knew Zhang Yiming, a low-key boss who actually didn't go abroad very much at this stage.

To give such an example, if you put the two horses of Tencent and Ali, Robin Li of Baidu, Liu Qiangdong of JD.com, Lei Jun of Xiaomi, and Zhang Yiming of Toutiao together, you can randomly find a hundred people to identify them.

I am afraid that the most recognizable one is definitely the alien Ma Yun, and the second one is probably Liu Qiangdong. The remaining few people may be able to recognize Tencent’s Ma Huateng and Baidu’s Robin Li, and the rest of Lei Jun and Zhang Yiming can recognize them. Yes, really very few.

Apparently, the two 'big bosses' carried the two plates for a circle, went out empty-handed and returned with a full load. No one recognized Shang Fuhai, a local big boss, and Zhang Yiming, a well-known big boss in the circle. Obviously, Usually it's too low-key, and the appearance rate is too low.

Besides, who would have thought that people of their worth would choose a buffet worth a hundred and ten yuan at this moment.

Just thinking about it makes people speechless!

The two were sitting next to each other, and Zhang Yiming asked him: "Old Shang, what is the price I gave you just now, can you give me a sweet word, will you take it?"

"If I say that, I still feel that the price is too low?" Shang Fuhai whispered back to him.

Zhang Yiming is also determined this time: "Then you can go to whoever you like, that is, I fell in love with Paike, thinking that I would be taken advantage of and buy it. 15 billion is really not low, you don't know , when you bought shares in Toutiao, you just gave the share price 15 billion. At this time last year, my Toutiao accumulated more download users and activity than you. At that time, the stock price was only 5 million. , you compare it, and you still want a high price, don't you feel chills?"

"Why do I still think it's a loss to sell it to you at this price." Shang Fuhai looked awkward.

Zhang Yiming immediately rolled his eyes: "The 5.00% equity you bought from Weibo, I will give you [-] million to get it back, will you sell it? I still feel panicked at a loss."

Chapter 323 You Respect Me One Foot, I Respect You One Foot

"All right, all right, I won't talk to you anymore, let's not talk about whether it's a loss or a profit at this price, let's talk about it after we're full, how will we arrange for the evening?" Shang Fuhai felt his heart ache, I always feel that I have given away billions in vain.

I can't think about it any more, and if I think about it again, I will have angina pectoris, and I will have a heart attack.

Back at their table, Zhang Yiming whispered to Jin Guanghan to invest in Beijing Parker Technology at a valuation of 15 billion.

Jin Guanghan couldn't keep his mouth shut when he heard it, boss, aren't you messing around.

I compared and analyzed various professional data and added a premium. The valuation of 5 million is already very high, but you are lucky, and you doubled it when you opened your mouth.

Jin Guanghan complained all kinds of things in his heart, but he also knew that Zhang Yiming would basically be unable to refute any things that Zhang Yiming believed. other people's opinions.

It seems that this set of theories is also in line with the behavior style of most successful entrepreneurs.

The meal was over after an hour or so. Zhang Yiming finally walked out with two bananas. While walking, he gestured to Shang Fuhai beside him: "I don't want more from you. How about two bananas?"

This means that it is okay to raise 15% of the equity at a valuation of 20 billion, which is [-]% of the equity.

Of course, Shang Fuhai did not agree. This is only the A round. At this time, one-fifth of the equity will be sold out. What about the remaining B round, C round or even the D round or the last round of Pre-IPO financing before listing? do.

Even if it is not necessary to go through all ABCD, at least two or three more rounds of integration must be done.

He reached out and snatched a banana from Zhang Yiming's hand: "That's all, I promise you that you will lead the vote in the next round, okay, let's sign the contract."

"No, I will be responsible for all the events tonight, so hurry up and go back to the capital tomorrow."

Shang Fuhai really wanted to slap him, you are too poisonous.

"It's too little, give me more, how about 15?" Zhang Yiming continued to ask unwillingly.

Shang Fuhai pretended not to hear, peeled off the banana peel, stuffed the banana into his mouth in one gulp, swallowed it twice, and threw the banana peel into the trash can beside him.

This is the result!

After coming out of Yintai City, the three Rolls-Royces returned to Paris Spring. After communicating with the community, Shang Fuhai found three underground temporary parking spaces for them, so as not to put the car on the ground like a monkey and be surrounded by crowds.

When getting out of the car, Shang Fuhai discovered that Zhang Yiming was holding something in one hand, an Hermès bag on the left, and a packaging box with a picture of a doll interacting with a robot in his right hand. .

When they got home, Xu Fei opened the door and let Zhang Yiming and Jin Guanghan in. The rest of them were waiting in the car.

"Mrs. Shang, this is a bag for you. A small gift is not a tribute." Zhang Yiming handed the Hermès bag to Xu Fei, and put another well-packed thing in his hand into the old lady's arms. Xiao Yuanbao sent: "Little princess, this is a gift for you, do you like it?"

This is an intelligent and all-round robot that can talk, learn to listen to music, and communicate, which is completely incomparable to those dolls.

Xu Fei was a little caught off guard holding the bag, not knowing whether she should take it or not, she even took a special look at Shang Fuhai.

Shang Fuhai said: "Boss Zhang brought everything, so let's accept it. I just gave him at least one billion yuan."

Nima!

Zhang Yiming felt so bored that he wanted to vomit. Can we stop talking about this? If we don't talk about this, we can still be friendly friends.

According to his calculations, how many billions would he have to give away for the 5% equity he bought from Weibo?

I really want to puke in your face.

Xiao Yuanbao was very satisfied with the gift from Zhang Yiming. Although she still couldn't handle the expensive robot, she still generously kissed Zhang Yiming on the face and let Zhang Yiming hug her. She didn't make a fuss.

Xiao Yuanbao was directly bought by the gift.

After sitting down in the living room, Shang Fuhai took out his best tea and brewed it.

Zhang Yiming looked at this house and asked Shang Fuhai: "Shang Dong, your house is not bad, how much did you pay for it?"

"you guess!"

"I guess your sister." Zhang Yiming felt awkward: "2000 million?"

"Success, if you want, let's transfer the ownership right now." Following Shang Fuhai, he said to Xu Fei: "Honey, hurry up and find a similar house, and we can earn more than 400 million yuan." where."

"It's only more than 500 million, so cheap." Zhang Yiming knew it as soon as he did the math, and he was a little envious.

If it is in the capital, you can buy a 100-square-meter house at this price, and it has to be in a remote location. If it is within the Fifth Ring Road, you don't even think about it.

Speaking of houses, Shang Fuhai complained about the housing prices in the capital, but there was nothing to say. He also thought about getting a house in the capital, so as not to have to stay in a hotel every time he went there. He was already tired of it.

Zhang Yiming also agrees: "Whoever says it's not, to be honest, in Beijing, except for special high-income groups, those with a monthly income of [-] to [-] yuan can barely make ends meet. Don't even think about buying a house, renting it is good."

"I was forced to start a business when I was young. Do you think I can do it without starting a business? Do you still let my wife rent a house with me? Nonsense." Zhang Yiming also complained in various ways.

Jin Guanghan, who was sitting next to him, kept twitching his mouth. He thought to himself: "Boss, is this the reason for your earliest ideal of starting a business? You just want to prevent the two of you from renting a house?"

……

Chatting and chatting at home until after five o'clock in the afternoon, Shang Fuhai still booked Zhuo in Lanhai.

According to Zhang Yiming, it is fine to eat at Shang Fuhai's house, and he really wants to taste Shang Fuhai's income for himself. Who makes this guy's circle of friends rank third besides showing his wife and children, all kinds of delicious food.

But Shang Fuhai didn't give him this chance at all, he left him at home for dinner, what about the rest of the people who were still waiting in the underground parking lot?

In the evening, Shang Fuhai called Ma Yilin, Han Zhengyu, Chen Jingshu, and An Xiaohui over. He wanted to find some wine companions, and by the way, let Zhang Yiming see his energy positively.

I thought back to when Zhang Yiming invited him and Han Zhengyu to Toutiao for the first time, who did Zhang Yiming find to accompany him for a drink.

Wang Qiong from SIG, Zhou Shouzi, a Chinese partner of DST, and Zhang Lidong, senior vice president of Toutiao, are all well-known figures in the field.

Compared with those people, Ma Yilin, Han Zhengyu, An Xiaohui, and Chen Jingshu seemed to be a bit unqualified, but this was already paid for by Shang Fuhai, which also showed that Shang Fuhai respected Zhang Yiming enough.

In response to that sentence, you respect me one foot, and I respect you one foot!

Chapter 324 Invitation from the Mayor

When Shang Fuhai warmly entertained Zhang Yiming and his party, something happened at the Bocheng Municipal Committee and Municipal Government.

This matter started when Zhang Yiming entered Bo City with great fanfare.

Officials always have more and wider channels of information than the general public, and they are more accurate.

When Zhang Yiming and the others got off the expressway and entered Bo City in the afternoon, the people in power belonging to the city got the news, and after confirming it in many ways later, they found out that the big boss of Toutiao, Zhang Yiming, had arrived.

What is he doing here?

No one really can guess this. There are so many talents in the municipal party committee and the city government, and they dare not guess casually. Nor will it be an easy role.

Is there such a 'big boss' under their rule?

Secretary Wang Qingli of the municipal party committee did not move. He is a local faction, and Bocheng is an old industrial and chemical city. After doing this for a long time, it will not be easy to transform. In addition, Wang Qingli is already old, and it is not sure when he will work. He just retired, and he is not so interested in new high-tech things like the Internet.

On the contrary, the mayor of the municipal government, Cao Hongdong, was very interested in high-tech, and he began to arrange people to investigate Zhang Yiming's purpose of coming to Bo City.

When he found out that the only person Zhang Yiming had met during his trip to Bocheng was Shang Fuhai through the channel of three turns and two turns, this made him very puzzled, and the information of Shang Fuhai was placed in front of him.

"In one year, Haifei Buffet Catering Co., Ltd. now has three stores"

"In less than half a year, the One Kilometer Convenience Store now has 68 branches"

Cao Hongdong carefully read all the information about Shang Fuhai that the people below could collect. Although this information surprised him that there was such a sudden figure under his rule, he didn't see anything related to the Internet or high school. Things that are related to technology, this is not right, it is completely out of routine.

"Xiao Lu, there is no other information, right? You can ask again." Cao Hongdong was obviously dissatisfied with this information.

Lu Yuncheng, who had been following him as a secretary, was clear in his heart: "Mayor Cao, I'll ask again."

After returning for the second time, there was still no other additional information.

"Well, forget it, Xiao Lu, tell Boss Shang that I want to invite Chairman Zhang from Toutiao to meet and have a chat." Cao Hongdong said.

The second-in-command in Yidi gave the order, and his operation speed was very fast.

In the evening, Shang Fuhai called a group of executives under him to come over to accompany him for a drink. He had just set up two tables in the Blue Ocean Hotel, and when he was chatting with Zhang Yiming, a strange call came from his mobile phone.

Shang Fuhai hung up on the phone number that hadn't been saved, and didn't answer it now that he wasn't free!

But the mayor's secretary, Lu Yuncheng, was in a hurry. He called again, but Shang Fuhai still refused to answer. Lu Yuncheng also complained to Shang Fuhai in his heart. Who are you?

There was no way, Lu Yuncheng sent a text message to Shang Fuhai, Lu Yuncheng introduced his identity, and also said that Mayor Cao wanted to meet Chairman Zhang Yiming.

Shang Fuhai heard the beeping of the text message again. He turned the phone screen and saw the words "Mayor Cao's Secretary". Knowing that the strange caller who made two phone calls in a row turned out to be Cao Hongdong's secretary, what a f*cking local chief!

After telling Zhang Yiming, he still called back. "Hi, is this Secretary Lu? Yes, I'm Shang Fuhai... You said Chairman Zhang Yiming... What? Did you see him?"

Shang Fuhai covered the receiver of the mobile phone with one hand, and took a special look at Zhang Yiming, and told him about Cao Hongdong's invitation to him. Zhang Yiming did not directly refuse the invitation of this kind of local ruling official, but put the meeting time in the first place. two days.

Lu Yuncheng didn't expect to reach an agreement so quickly. After he hung up Shang Fuhai's phone call, he turned around and told his boss Cao Hongdong.

"Tomorrow is also fine, Xiao Lu, you can arrange a better quiet place." Cao Hongdong gave him a task.

If possible, he would like to have a long talk with Zhang Yiming.

But because of Zhang Yiming's relationship, he also paid special attention to Shang Fuhai. He always felt that it was impossible for a big boss like Zhang Yiming to come to Bocheng for no reason to have a meal with Shang Fuhai.

There must be some relationship between them that he didn't investigate.
