The rebirth of the wife and children

When the PPT reached the last page, there was only one sentence on it, "On ByteDance's listing plan".

The nine big characters made many people unable to recover, and also provoked the nerves of some other people.

When they were still thinking about financing and participating, ByteDance had already begun to consider going public?

Chapter 1468 Three Shit Stirring Sticks

"Mr. Zhang, tell me the price. How much is it? I'll take part." Seeing the contents of the nine big characters on this page of PPT, whoever was in the crowd immediately yelled.

There was anxiety in the voice.

What the hell is going public, it's going to go public, how can this be possible, I don't have any shares in my hand!

Fools know that ByteDance is a high-growth company. It has not been listed yet, and its market value in the capital circle has exceeded many Internet high-tech companies that have been listed on Nasdaq.

Compared with JD.com, the market value of Weibo is even higher. No one can imagine how much it will rise after it goes public.

This unified cognition itself shows that most capital parties are very optimistic about it.

Based on this understanding, at this time no one thinks about the 'unpleasant' that happened just now, and no one thinks that Zhang Yiming's behavior of ejecting people just now is too overbearing.

Whatever your temper is, as long as you can earn me money, that's fine.

Shang Fuhai was still on the high platform, looking back at the content on the PPT, he was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Yiming, and asked him: "Are you going to start preparing for the listing?"

"Yes, I have this plan, and I have basically put the listing work on the agenda." Zhang Yiming confided this idea for the first time.

Before that, I didn't even communicate with other shareholders.

If you want to say that he doesn't do things properly, but this is just a 'listing plan', an idea, and it doesn't explain anything.

"How much does this round plan to raise?" Shang Fuhai didn't worry about why he concealed the matter of going public, and asked him the key points directly.

Zhang Yiming didn't hesitate this time, and said: "It's about 30 billion to 40 billion US dollars. ByteDance is not particularly short of money now. The main purpose of getting this money is to prepare for the listing work and prepare a part of sufficient cash flow in advance. , to prevent accidents.”

When other people heard this, they would feel that Lao Zhang deserved a beating.

3040 billion U.S. dollars is not much, so your so-called lack of money is too much.

"How many shares do you want to lend?" Shang Fuhai ignored that and continued to ask.

Zhang Yiming hesitated this time: "It's not clear, let's look at the valuation. In fact, I prefer this round of market valuation to be between 500 billion and 600 billion. I don't know what the final result will be."

Hearing the quotation he said, Shang Fuhai frowned directly: "Your quotation is not good, compared with the previous round, it has not doubled, what do you make us earn, at least 600 billion US dollars to start. "

Zhang Yiming wanted to pick a brick and slap it on his head to see how hard it is. He opened his mouth and started with 600 billion US dollars. Think of it as a play!

However, he also liked the price very much.

But when he thought that he would privately repurchase some shares from Shang Fuhai according to the valuation of this round of financing, he gave up this 'naive' idea again.

The higher the valuation in this round, the better it is for the company, but for him, the higher the price, the less friendly it will be.

Very contradictory!

Shang Fuhai waited on the high platform for a while, seeing that no fleas had popped out, he stopped staying there, and returned to Wang Qiong and Shen Nanpeng and the others in a few steps.

Ask them: "Sister Wang, Lao Shen, the last round of financing has been completed, and the financing will go to the market in the future, why don't you take advantage of this time to get some more."

Wang Qiong said directly: "Brother Shang, don't be greedy, whether it's you, me, or Chairman Shen have a lot of shares, and if you mix it up, will you give others a sip of soup? As far as I know, see If there is no profit, others will stop playing.”

"As far as I know, this round is led by Softbank, Primavera and KKR. If they can't get a lot of shares by then, are they willing?"

Speaking of this, she had another expression of sudden understanding: "I said why they are the lead investors in this round. Emotional Yiming is already considering the listing. This is clearly to send them some benefits before the listing."

"Someone from Softbank also called me, wanting to buy a part of ByteDance's shares from me." Shen Nanpeng said abruptly.

He complained, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be here today."

"People from Softbank and Chunhua have also contacted me." Wang Qiong added in a low voice. Essentially, Haina Asia holds the most shares.

After the two finished talking, they looked at Shang Fuhai with obvious eyes, and wanted to ask him what was going on here.

Shang Fuhai pondered for a while, and said: "Old Zhang wants to buy back some shares from me privately. Presumably because of this, he blocked Softbank, Chunhua and KKR."

At this time, Wang Qiong raised her head and glanced at Zhang Yiming who was still "talking loudly" on the high platform. She complained and said, "I said why this happened. The three of us have become pigs who have been cut off in our relationship."

Shen Nanpeng was not so pessimistic, he shook his head and laughed: "Wang Dong, you're making a fool of yourself, so you can't say that, at least we've all made money, and we've made a lot of money. If the valuation of this round of financing is good, then we will Part of it is also a good option."

"That's true. After all, I only spent a few million to get nearly half of Toutiao's shares." Wang Qiong told a fact in a flat tone.

But these words were extremely harsh to the ears of Shang Fuhai and Shen Nanpeng.

Back then, when they invested in Toutiao, they were all in the hundreds of millions.

Comparing them, they were all bloody injuries, and I didn't want to talk now.

On the high platform, Zhang Yiming continued to talk about the company's short-term goals and medium- and long-term plans.

The others listened carefully, but Shang Fuhai and the others didn't listen.

Shang Fuhai said abruptly: "When the official start later, find someone to raise the valuation quotation. If the price can reach more than 600 billion US dollars, it is not impossible to sell less shares to cash in."

"600 billion U.S. dollars?" Shen Nanpeng thought about the price, and said, "It's a bit difficult, but it's not impossible."

"Well, let's see what kind of financing method it is. If there is a bidding, I will arrange someone to raise the price first."

Wang Qiong also said: "If the price is raised, I can also help."

Cao Yiquan pretended not to have heard these conversations. He felt that he shouldn't have talked to the three of them today, and now there is a problem with the narration.

Several major shareholders who hold shares in Toutiao are already thinking about how to make money from Toutiao. Should he participate or not?

But the offer of 600 billion US dollars as a base is indeed very attractive. From here on, will it be more attractive after ByteDance is actually listed?

After Zhang Yiming talked about it for a while, he finally explained today's rules amidst the anticipation of everyone.

Bid!

Among the crowd, Qi Kunsheng, President of Softbank China, raised his hand to quote: "400 billion!"

It directly left the quotation of 315 billion US dollars in the E round of financing far behind.

By the way, the market rumors that ByteDance was "not working" were smashed to pieces with a hammer.

After Qi Kunsheng finished quoting, he looked directly at Zhang Yiming on the high platform. This was discussed with Zhang Yiming in advance when they participated in this round of financing.

They helped ByteDance to go public in the US East, but they also had to get their own benefits, otherwise who would want to work for nothing.

And this advantage is that they must participate in this round of financing, and then find a way to get enough shares.

Qi Kunsheng, Primavera Capital Hu Chunqiu, and KKR Robert had communicated in advance. They will control the pace of this round of valuation quotations, and the overall price should not be too high, so as not to pay too much cost at that time.

It's a pity that Qi Kunsheng, Hu Chunqiu and Robert ignored the three shit-stirring sticks that came on the scene this time.

Just a few seconds after Qi Kunsheng completed the quotation of 400 billion US dollars, there was another voice on the scene: "Nylon Capital 450 billion."

This is a very unfamiliar capital side.

The price was raised by US$50 billion all of a sudden, which made Qi Kunsheng frowned. Who is Nylon Capital?

Hu Chunqiu probably didn't expect the price to be raised so quickly. It's only been a minute or so since the start. Compared with the previous round of financing, the valuation has increased by 140 billion US dollars, which is a premium of nearly 50%. Are you kidding?

"$455 million!"

Hu Chunqiu pondered for a while, and added 5 million US dollars, too little will not work, too much will increase his own cost from the side, which is not advisable.

But he obviously underestimated how shameless those shameless people in the dark were.

The quotation here just ended, and then someone shouted: "500 billion!"

This time, even Zhang Yiming, who was still standing on the high platform, frowned and squinted his eyes. The price increase was really too fast, which made people feel unreal.

Moreover, the person calling for the price was still an unfamiliar face. Does such an investor really have such great strength?

For some reason, he subconsciously looked at Shang Fuhai.

Hu Chunqiu stood on tiptoe and looked towards the speaker, with a fat face, he had no impression of him.

"Who the hell is this? Make trouble for me. He raised 45 billion US dollars all at once. His family runs a money printing machine?" Hu Chunqiu cursed.

"Stupid!"

Someone next to him couldn't help but glance at Hu Chunqiu, you don't need to scold him if you lose out in the bidding, the quality is really low.

Shang Fuhai on the other side then glanced at Wang Qiong and Shen Nanpeng, without thinking too much, he knew from their calm expressions that the two just now belonged to them.

"Sister Wang, Chairman Shen, who is this? It's awesome. I'm done with work today. I'll treat them to a private meal tonight." Shang Fuhai said.

This price increase means that he can earn more money from Zhang Yiming, and his equity value in Toutiao will further increase.

Why not happy.

Shang Fuhai took a special look at Zhang Yiming on the high platform. Obviously, the expression on his face was not very good-looking.

But at this time, earning money is the most important thing, who cares about you!

With the start of the scramble between these few people just now, regardless of the fact that ByteDance’s quotation has reached 500 billion US dollars, it still can’t stop many capital parties from chasing it.

Chapter 1469

Soon, various quotations of 503 billion, 512 billion, 520.8 billion, 537 billion, etc. came out.

Qi Kunsheng, Hu Chunqiu, and Robert looked at each other. They originally wanted to control the rhythm of the quotation from the beginning, but they never thought that they would be destroyed by those two people. It was completely messed up.

How to do?

"You have to cut the mess quickly, or you will be more passive in the end!" Robert said.

Even though he is an American, he can use some Chinese words really well. When he spoke, he raised his hand like a knife and slashed down with a knife. The meaning is self-evident.

"Robert, what do you think should be done?" Qi Kunsheng asked him simply.

Hu Chunqiu also stared at the two, wanting to see what better ideas Robert could come up with.

The blond-haired Robert raised his thickly hairy hand and pointed at the excited crowd. He said, "Look, they are all crazy, and they don't even realize it now. If you keep calling like this, the price will be called!" The price is getting higher and higher, and then we will be more passive, I mean let's call a high price to scare them away."

"How much is appropriate?" Hu Chunqiu asked.

KKR's Robert had a vigor, he stared at the bursting atmosphere of the scene, and finally said: "I call 600 billion!"

That's what he thought, and that's what he told Qi Kunsheng and Hu Chunqiu, but before he could shout out, there was a voice of quotation in the conference hall: "Nylon investment, 610 billion US dollars!"

Once again, the bidding master who crossed an integer mark from 570 billion.

"..."

Robert's mouth, which had just opened, seemed to be dislocated at that moment, and it froze immediately.

Hu Chunqiu, who was younger and more irritable, was about to explode on the spot: "Damn it, you bastard!"

The people next to them glanced at them again, and some people wondered how this quality person got in.

However, the quotation of 610 billion US dollars from Nylon Investment was just the beginning. After the scene was quiet for a while, some people still followed.

613 billion...617 billion...621 billion...

The price climbed up little by little, and this time it finally exceeded Shang Fuhai's psychological bottom price, and he was satisfied with any price.

He looked at Wang Qiong and Shen Nanpeng with a smile on his face: "Sister Wang, Chairman Shen, don't say anything. I can't do it tonight. At noon tomorrow, call the two of you. I invite you to eat whatever you want." What to eat, don't be polite to me."

Wang Qiong curled her lips: "Brother Shang, you really made a lot of money this time, but I don't look very good looking at Yiming now!"

Hearing what she said, Shang Fuhai flicked his eyes to the high platform, and glanced at him: "Why, you can't find Bei if you didn't see him so happy now."

"Why do I think laughing is uglier than crying, Mr. Shen, can you take a look?" Wang Qiong said.

Shen Nanpeng doesn't care about this. He is just an investor. Today, the valuation of Byte Toutiao has been speculated. Primavera Capital and Softbank both called him and wanted to buy some of his old stocks. goods.

Keep the rest, and we will release some later depending on the situation. If there is still a high price, then we can make a lot of money, beautiful!

At this time, Zhang Yiming on the high platform had mixed feelings in his heart, which was completely different from what he thought.

He hopes that Byte Toutiao can have a good price, but when he thinks that after the financing meeting is over, he will use such a high price to buy back some shares from Shang Fuhai, his heart bleeds.

No matter how awesome a person was, he couldn't deal with an impending huge deal.

"Why are people from Softbank, Chunhua and KKR so useless!" Zhang Yiming thought to himself.

At this moment, this contradictory body wants to scold her!
