My Age of Investment

  Chapter 453 Religious fanaticism (seeking monthly pass)

  After finalizing the financial plan for the establishment of funds and allocating funds, Xia Jingxing left Abel alone.

  Abel thought that the boss had something important to explain, but the other party asked: "Duck neck, you guys go to do your best, Ari, do you find any problems?"

  Duck’s neck nodded and said solemnly: “Yes, I also wrote on the investigation report. I suspect that this company has serious religious fanaticism!”

  Xia Jingxing's mouth twitched, and raised his hand to signal the duck neck to continue speaking.

  Duck Neck seriously said: "Their boss Jack is like a religious leader. The employees seem to fall into an incomparable enthusiasm when they see him...

  Also, their offices have some very strange names. They are called "Peach Blossom Island" and "Black Wood Cliff". I have asked someone to find out. This is from a novelist's martial arts world.

  In that martial arts world, there is a cult leader, I think Jack Ma is a bit like the leader, and the employees have become his followers. "

  Xia Jingxing refrained from smiling, "Then do you think this is good or bad?"

  Duck neck hesitated for a moment. He remembered that Jack had taken him to Lin'an City some time ago and tasted so many delicacies. It was quite courteous to himself and others.

  However, Xia Jingxing is the one who pays him.

   Thinking of this, he mercilessly sold Jack Horse.

  "For a company, it is not a good thing that Jack Ma has imprinted too much. I dare you to say that if you leave him, the company will definitely be turbulent and even lost."

  Xia Jingxing nodded, "It's normal. Many companies will do this after they leave the founder."

  Duck Neck continued: "But if something unpredictable happens to Ari in the future and Jack Ma leaves, it will cause us a lot of trouble.

  We invested nearly 700 million U.S. dollars, but we invested in a less mature company.

  I mean maturity, which means it can still function well after leaving the founder. "

  Xia Jingxing knew that the duck neck was analyzing objectively, and nodded and said: "Okay, I know, I don't care about it for the time being, I have my own arrangements. Tell me about you!"

"I?"

  Duck Neck looked stunned, wondering what the boss said suddenly.

   "Yes, the Liqiu Fund and the Chushu Fund will be managed by you next, the former is 800 million US dollars in scale, and the latter is at least 1.5 billion US dollars in scale.

  Equivalent to half of Envision Capital’s money is managed by you. "

  The duck has a straight neck and a straight waist. He said sternly: "First of all, thank you boss for your trust in me.

  I have handled so much money at Morgan Stanley, and I promise that nothing will go wrong, which will delay your boss's big plans. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled. Although Duck Neck has a lot of funds under management, it is actually an empty shell, or a sign.

  The US$800 million of Liqiu Fund has almost been spent, and only a few million US dollars are left;

  Chushu Fund is a fund of funds, which is equivalent to a management platform. Funds will be transferred to various sub-funds, and it is the sub-fund that really decides what project to invest in.

  The main role played by the duck neck is to provide post-investment services and capital channels.

   has a specialization in the technical industry, and the duck neck has ten years of PE experience, so Xia Jingxing chose the other party as the current two largest fund managers of Envision Capital.

   "Android is in the United States, Ari is in Lin'an, China, and the Chushu Fund is in Hong Kong. You may have to run three places next, so you have to be mentally prepared."

Duck Neck waved his hand indifferently, "Boss, you don't care about me. The intensity of this work is actually nothing. I think I was in Morgan Stanley and set a record of flying 20 cities in a week. ."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, “Is that right, I didn’t see the wrong person. After two days, you will go to Luxembourg with me.”

   "Go... to Luxembourg?"

   The face of Duck’s neck collapsed, "Boss, isn’t it...you didn’t mean to give me a half-month holiday when Ari finishes the adjustments?"

  Speaking of the end, the voice of the duck's neck became smaller and smaller, and it became inaudible.

   "Have I said this?"

  Xia Jingxing has an expression that cannot be remembered.

  Duck’s neck look sad. He spent more than two months in Ari for more than two months, and he didn’t rest for a day...

  Well, he admitted that when he first arrived in Lin'an, Jack Ma took them to play for two days.

  The rest of the time, he really didn't get lazy all day. From morning till night, he never saw the color of the sun in Lin'an.

  Xia Jingxing's usual bad taste is not much, except that he likes to tease the staff, there are no other bad habits.

   Seeing the duck’s neck look like a bereavement, he smiled and said, “It’s alright, I’ll go to Luxembourg to finalize the sale of Scape. When the matter is over, I will take you five more days off.”

  Understood, this is to help the boss to do private work.

  However, except for hedge funds, Envision Capital’s other funds are solely owned by the boss. It’s okay to say that Envision Capital is the boss’s private family office.

  There is no problem of being punished for private work.

  On the contrary, the boss pulls himself to do private work, this is to focus on cultivating himself!

   Thinking of this, Duck’s neck is no longer bitter, and the hippie smiled and said: “Hey, boss, you said it earlier, I haven’t been to Europe for a long time, so I happened to follow the boss to meet you.”

  Xia Jingxing smiled while looking at the duck neck whose preface did not match the postscript.

  …………

  …………

  Before setting off for Luxembourg, Xia Jingxing asked Duck Neck to lead the team and finalized the Pre-A round of financing for Ganji.com with Yang Haoyong.

  According to the post-investment valuation of 10 million US dollars, the newly established Jingzhe Fund plans to invest 1 million US dollars in Ganji.

  After the financing is completed, Xia Jingxing’s personal shareholding in Ganji will drop from 25% to 22.5%, but Envision Capital China will also hold 10% of Ganji. The actual shareholding has increased.

  For this valuation, Yang Haoyong is very satisfied, because half a year ago, the valuation of Ganji.com was only $1.6 million, which is equivalent to more than 5 times increase at the moment.

  With this money, Ganji.com can also ask an advertising company to pull on Brother Chun, who has just appeared on the cover of Time Magazine Asia, and shoot the commercial together.

  In the office of Ganji.com, in a peaceful atmosphere, Duck Neck, Xia Jingxing, and Yang Haoyong signed the investment intent agreement.

  Yang Haoyong took Xia Jingxing’s hand and said sincerely: "Daren, you guys really solved my urgent need this time!"

  Xia Jingxing put his hand back in a calm manner. What kind of style are the two big men pulling and pulling in broad daylight?

  "Now that the money is in place, and the spokesperson is also available, I quickly shoot the commercials and quickly enter the other three first-tier cities."

  Speaking of this, Xia Jingxing paused, "Fram Media, don’t look for it, let Tan Zhi introduce Jiang Nanchun to you, and vote for Focus Media’s elevator advertisement.

  Tudou ads, you can also vote for it, and you can talk to Wang Wei about the price. "

  Yang Haoyong means that Frame Media is going to be sold?

  He didn't ask too much, just nodded to show that he knew.

  Xia Jingxing pulled Yang Haoyong aside and whispered: "Tudou.com will soon complete the A round of financing."

   "Ah, how much do they value?"

  Yang Haoyong is very concerned about Tudou, which started at the same time as them. Both companies are co-invested by Xia Jingxing. Although his relationship with Wang Wei is pretty good, it also means something different.

  Xia Jingxing gave a thumbs up.

   "Six million dollars?" Yang Haoyong asked.

  Xia Jingxing smiled, “60 million US dollars, it’s just a pre-investment valuation. Axel led the investment of 10 million US dollars. Our Vision Capital invested 5 million US dollars, and the post-investment valuation was 75 million US dollars."

  Hearing this, Yang Haoyong had no intention of listening.

  He was a little complacent, but he was ruthlessly hit in a blink of an eye.

   Xia Jingxing observed his words and thoughts, and said with relief: "Don't be discouraged, it's still early, I believe Ganji.com will definitely be able to accumulate.

  After two days, you go to the magic city to find Wang Wei for a drink and flattering. When he is happy, you let him charge you a little less for advertising. "

  Yang Haoyong sighed, "Okay, I understand, I will definitely not carry it."

  Xia Jingxing meant this, Yang Haoyong was not stupid, and he quickly understood it.

  So Xia Jingxing didn't have to pick it up. He patted Yang Haoyong on the shoulder and walked away quickly with a group of duck necks.
