My Age of Investment

  Chapter 180 Language Art

  San Francisco Chinatown.

  Hongyun Restaurant.

  Xia Jingxing ordered a large table of sumptuous Chinese food to entertain Rao Lei and Liu Jian.

After a few cups of liquor, the three of them slowly opened the chatterbox.

   "Jingxing, Axel really invested $50 million with you? Not RMB?"

  Xia Jingxing was amused by Rao Lei’s words, “This is the United States, how could they vote for us in RMB?”

Rao Lei and Liu Jian looked at each other, and took a breath.

  It's not that people are poor and short, but such a large-scale A round of financing is extremely rare in the world.

   "A round of financing of 55.55 million US dollars, the post-investment valuation of Facebook is 555.55 million US dollars?"

  It’s not that Liu Jian didn’t believe it, but he was really curious. In his opinion, it was a miracle.

  Xia Jingxing saw that the two of them had been asking questions, and she simply confessed.

   "Has the formal delivery?"

   Hearing this, Rao Lei asked.

  Xia Jingxing nodded, “The day after tomorrow there will be a round A financing press conference in Silicon Valley, followed by a thank you reception, so come and join us!”

  Rao Lei suddenly felt that the table full of delicious food was dull.

  It's not that he is jealous of Xia Jingxing, but is a little bit shocked.

  He and Liu Jian have been in the United States for ten years and are in their early thirties. They are still running around for a one million dollar angel investment, asking for help.

  The man in front of him, at the age of twenty, is in charge of a company valued at more than four billion yuan.

  People are more angry than people!

  To dispel thoughts, Rao Lei held up the wine glass and clinked with Xia Jingxing: "Jingxing, this cup is for you, and I wish you more and more success in your career.

  When we first came to the United States to study, we were looked down upon by our white classmates and teachers. They thought that Chinese could only work part-time, serve as waiters, and could only engage in low-end technical jobs after graduation.

  You can create a career in the United States. In some ways, our compatriots also have a bright face, which greatly boosts the ambition of the Chinese. "

"Correct!"

  Liu Jian also picked up the wine glass, and then said: “Chinese people can also be bosses in the United States, and they can also list companies. Deng Feng is a good example.

  I wish Facebook will be listed soon! I wish you Jingxing a new generation of business idols! "

  Xia Jingxing repeatedly thanked him and clinked glasses with the two.

  After a few more glasses of wine, Xia Jingxing felt that she was a little bit drunk.

   "I heard that Jingxing, you dropped out of school?"

  Rao Lei took a bite of food and ate it into his belly, and asked with his head sideways.

   "Yes, I'm too busy to take care of my studies at all."

  Liu Jian nodded and said, “It’s me. Once the company has reached this scale, we can only drop out of school and start a business. After all, we can’t have both fish and bear paws.”

   Rao Lei said with a smile, "You are also a broken ship and a firm conviction in entrepreneurship. Come on!"

  Xia Jingxing chatted with the two again, and brought up Youyou Mi's financing.

   "Brayer told me that Youyoumi is looking for a round of angel investment. How did the talk go?"

  Xia Jingxing glanced at the two of them, smiled and said, “If you need it, Facebook can also invest.”

  Liu Jian nodded. Before coming here for dinner, Breyer communicated with the two of them. They were mentally prepared for the investment in Facebook.

  He smiled and said: "At present, Axel and DCM have shown a strong interest in us and are talking with them.

  Mr. Breyer also mentioned the "Axel and Facebook co-investment" plan with us. "

   He tilted his head and asked, "Jingxing, what do you think? Is Facebook really planning not to enter the Chinese market?"

  Xia Jingxing said lightly: “I will not consider it in the next few years. There are still large blank markets in North America and Europe, waiting for us to occupy.”

   Liu Jian asked: “In other words, when these markets are occupied, Facebook will still enter the Chinese market?”

  Xia Jingxing said naturally with a face: “Don’t hide this from you. After the markets outside of China are occupied, they will definitely enter China, because this is the nature of capital.

  Even if I personally don’t want to, capital will push me to do it. "

  Xia Jingxing said that, the two of them were relieved a lot.

  If Xia Jingxing stated that the Chinese market would go to Youyoumi, and the markets outside of China would go to Facebook, the two felt that they were not sincere enough and too fake.

  "In the future, Facebook will enter China, how to deal with the relationship with Youyoumi?"

   Liu Jian’s question is very tricky, but it is also something that must be considered, otherwise the two will not be assured of accepting Facebook’s investment.

   "Look at the development situation!"

  Xia Jingxing began to flicker: "If Youyoumi succeeds in China and completely dominates the SNS market, we will evaluate the probability of success after Facebook comes in.

  If Youyou have hundreds of millions of users by the time you find it, we estimate that after you come in, you will not be able to beat you, and you may eventually have no choice but to give up the Chinese market.

  Or choose to merge our two!

  Let’s make the cake bigger and make it the largest social networking site in the world!

  If Youyoumi develops particularly well, you can also break out of the Chinese market. At that time, you will merge Facebook, and everyone will continue to work towards the same goal. "

The meaning of   Xia Jingxing is very clear.

  If Youyoumi develops very well, Facebook will not be able to beat you if it comes in, exit the Chinese market, or merge with you;

  If Youyoumi develops particularly well and expands to countries and regions outside of China, you can merge Facebook in turn!

  A merger is actually an acquisition!

   just sounds better, not so harsh.

  Who acquires whom depends on the size gap between Facebook and Youyoumi.

   "Haha, Jingxing, you are humble."

  Rao Lei never thought about Youyoumi's acquisition of Facebook, after all, the current gap between the two is more than a hundredfold.

  When he wants to come, these are all polite words of Xia Jingxing.

  Liu Jian understood Xia Jingxing’s meaning and laughed and said, “I mean, if you, Youyoumi get a foothold in China and become an independent listing, do you still need to merge with Facebook?”

  Xia Jingxing naturally understood that the other party was not very willing to accept this kind of merger.

  It’s normal to think about it. They want to gain the right to speak and dominate the enterprise, especially for those who start from scratch.

  Xia Jingxing waved his hand and said, “This is definitely not necessary. If you are all listed independently, then there is no need to say more about the influence in China. Even if Facebook comes in, it should not be able to beat you.

  At that time, everyone will guard a piece of the market.

  The earth is big enough to accommodate the next two listed social networking sites.

  In short, the merger is just a joke of mine, the two brothers don’t have to take it seriously, you are the real decision-makers of Youyoumi. "

  Mr. Liu understood the meaning again. Xia Jingxing didn’t have to swallow their company, so he asked again: “Will Facebook appoint a director to Youyoumi?”

   "This will not be sent, it is just a financial investment, or as an agreement between our two families."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, “This is good for both of us, and in the future, Youyoumi can exchange shares with Facebook and become partners.

  If the development of Facebook is not going well, I can also ask two older brothers to beg for food. "

  The last sentence of Xia Jingxing can also be understood in reverse: Youyoumi's development is not smooth and can be acquired by Facebook, and the two older brothers will not lose money.

  It’s just that it’s not suitable to speak directly.

  Rao Lei and Liu Jian are both smart people, and they naturally realized another meaning.

  Liu Jian thinks it’s good to have Facebook in the back. If Youyoumi’s development is not satisfactory, selling to Facebook may not be a bad choice.

  After all, entrepreneurship is risky, and no one can guarantee that it will succeed.

  Success is naturally the best. If you don’t succeed, you can exchange some money to make up for some losses.

  Rao Lei pointed to Xia Jingxing and joked with a smile: "Okay, you Xia Jingxing, are you afraid that the two seniors will starve to death?

  But you have said so, then you will not develop well in the future, I have to ask you to take care of it. This is what you said yourself. "

  Xia Jingxing gave the opponent down the steps, deliberately not making clear.

  Now Rao Lei finds it out by himself, of course, there is no problem, on the contrary, it will not cause any lumps on both sides.

  In the time of a meal, Xia Jingxing officially finalized the things that investment friends were looking for.
