I was reborn and stayed in school to lie down. I really don’t want to roll anymore!

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Qi's tone sounded completely unexpected.

"I will contact your group, Mr. Qi, but it's still too early."

"I'm also trying to get in touch with some new investors for the better development of the company!"

As soon as Jiang Hao heard it, he knew that Mr. Qi had misunderstood.

In fact, he didn't even contact the new investors, he just had this intention.

When the time comes, contact Mr. Zhang from Hillhouse to have a talk.

Since the B round of financing, shareholders have actually tacitly agreed that Tencent will continue to lead the investment in the subsequent rounds.

But the necessary contacts must be made, whether it is to increase prices or to obtain a more accurate company valuation.

This work will not be saved!

I guess Mr. Qi thought that he would introduce Tencent's competitors in the C round.

That's really overthinking. Many of Jiang Hao's resources for Longmao Live were provided by Tencent.

If a company really has backgrounds like Baidu, Alibaba, and NetEase, it won't be good for its development.

"Boss Jiang, our team will be here in a few days."

Until the end, Mr. Qi's words sounded a little more urgent.

Not long after I hung up the phone, Mr. Zhang from Hillhouse Capital also called.

He also asked about the start time of the C round, although Jiang Hao didn't say much.

But everyone is not a fool. Given their company's current status and size, including the achievements it has made, it means entering the C round.

He didn't hide anything from Mr. Zhang and they shared some simple ideas.

"Do you want Tencent to continue to lead the C round?"

Mr. Zhang's tone on the phone was a bit strange, which made him feel a little strange.

Tencent led the B round of investment, and the company itself is already owned by Tencent. Is it possible that other large groups will continue to invest in it?

"Mr. Zhang, although the company's development does not rely on Tencent, it is true that many of its collaborations with Tencent cannot be severed."

“I would like to get in touch with more new capitals or groups, but I would prefer Tencent as the lead investor.”

The relationship between Totoro Live and Tencent Video is now very close.

Even Tencent Video has a special channel, which mainly features funny clips of Totoro live broadcasts.

Tencent is really generous in allocating traffic resources.

Giving help is giving help, and the pattern is very big, especially since the "Penguin Esports" within the company has not yet been launched.

I really didn’t receive any help from them in promoting their Totoro live broadcast.

"Tencent is the most suitable, but I also heard a piece of news."

"Mr. Zhang, if it's convenient for you, can you tell me about it?"

Jiang Hao's heart skipped a beat at this moment, wondering if something new had happened.

Penguin Esports, this insolent guy, is even worse than he was in his previous life.

It can’t be true that Tencent won’t invest in him just because he’s planning to launch the product next year, right?

"It's not inconvenient. Maybe you haven't paid attention recently."

"Tencent has been in contact with Huya Group these days and seems to be interested in acquiring Huya or investing in Huya."

Joyy Group is the parent company of YY.

In fact, the essential entity is YY Live, which is also a listed company.

Huya is now a new subsidiary of the Joyy Group and operates independently.

Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised that Tencent came to him at this moment.

Buying so early? In the past, Tencent started to acquire companies after the live broadcast market had already decided on the big and small queens after the listing.

In this life, the king is already very obvious, and if nothing unexpected happens, it is their Totoro Live.

However, as the second largest platform, Huya does not have much absolute advantage after Totoro's market share was continuously squeezed, including the upward impact of other platforms.

Considering Tencent Group's style of doing things, is it too early to prepare to acquire Huya now?

"It's been done? Or is it?"

"It seems that the deal didn't go through! I have been in contact with Joyy Group and I am very optimistic about Huya. I hope it can go public again."

"I don't think they can get in at this time."

It is obvious that Joyy Group has high expectations for Huya.

Putting meat into his mouth at this time will not be a good idea for Mr. Zhang anyway.

"Mr. Qi from Tencent just talked to me on the phone about our Series C round."

"This is normal. I don't have your company's data yet, but judging from the profitability it has shown so far, everyone is very optimistic about it."

Mr. Zhang was not surprised that Tencent called him earlier than him.

Tencent is still very efficient in some aspects.

Jiang Hao began to speculate at this moment.

I guess people within their company are not optimistic about Penguin Esports anymore.

If they are targeting Huya, they must be eyeing Huya's share in the game live streaming field.

With their usual tactics, both the big boss and the second in command wanted to take over, so Jiang Hao was not surprised to come into contact with Huya.

I simply think it's still early. Tiger Teeth doesn't have the absolute advantage that Totoro has right now.

"If you think we can start the C round, I'll ask Gao Yan to come over earlier. It would be best if we can finalize the financing in the next two months."

After the two ended their call, Jiang Hao called Zhang Jing over.

"Notify mid-level and above managers that a meeting will be held at 1:30 p.m."

……

15th floor, Fortune Center Building.

Just after one o'clock, many company leaders had already taken their seats.

Since the main senior leaders had not arrived yet, everyone was still communicating with each other excitedly.

Although this meeting came rather suddenly, it is of great significance.

What Director Zhang revealed was an adjustment and work arrangement meeting before the company's Series C financing.

Soon, senior leaders came in one after another and the scene became quiet.

Until Jiang Hao finally stepped into the company, the thirty or forty people in the conference room immediately looked at him eagerly.

Brand new conference room with a huge custom-made solid wood table.

Including these leather tables and chairs, all were custom-made by Jiang Hao from Uncle Yu’s factory.

There was a small area on the 15th floor, which he directly converted into a large conference room.

Now that the company has grown, not only is the demand for office space high, but the requirements for conference rooms are also getting higher and higher.

There are more and more internal meetings of each department and joint meetings between several departments.

The technical department is relatively better. For example, the planning department and marketing department led by Zhan Liang, their whole day's work is either making PPTs for internal meetings or doing external communication.

Sometimes we spend less time at our workstation than in the meeting room.

The silence in the conference room and the excitement on everyone's faces made Jiang Hao feel a sense of accomplishment.

An enterprise that has grown from scratch to what it is today is about to enter its C round.

This can almost be regarded as the last round before IPO, and the door to listing has been opened to them.

All they have to do is push open the door!

"Don't be so reserved, let's talk about the good things about Round C!"

"Don't worry! We will give you the options as soon as the financing is completed!"

After Jiang Hao finished speaking, everyone sitting there couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The tense and solemn atmosphere in the conference room suddenly disappeared.
