My Age of Investment

  Chapter 458 Debut is the pinnacle (seeking monthly pass)

  After staying in Luxembourg for a few days, after processing all the formalities of the transaction, Xia Jingxing boarded the plane returning home.

  At the same time, the news of eaby's acquisition of Scape at a sky-high price of 4.1 billion US dollars spread like wildfire, and related news was quickly released worldwide!

  As the largest Internet merger and acquisition in recent years, Scape’s sale of eaby has attracted countless eyes.

  Xia Jingxing, as an angel investor in Scape, has always been unknown.

  The main reason for this is that Scape is low-key, and Xia Jingxing doesn’t like yelling everywhere.

  Nowadays, as soon as the sky-high price of mergers and acquisitions came out, every detail of the transaction was observed by the media and Internet practitioners under a magnifying glass.

  Xia Jingxing personally invested $400,000 in Scape in the angel round, and the A round of financing followed by the investment of $1.44 million was also revealed by the media through different channels.

  Xia Jingxing holds 8% of the shares, and based on the consideration of the transaction of 2.6 billion US dollars, it can be divided into 208 million US dollars; based on the ideal price of 4.1 billion US dollars, it is expected to be divided into 328 million US dollars.

  The media has always liked exaggerated reports, and this time is no exception.

  Directly divide 328 million US dollars by 1.84 million US dollars of investment cost to help Xia Jingxing calculate the return on investment, 178 times!

  This is quite a modest media!

  If there is no ethics, calculate the rate of return directly according to the 400,000 US dollars of the angel round, which is 820 times!

  In fact, in the venture capital industry, several times the rate of return is a good level, and 10 times is considered excellent.

  As for the return rate of thousands of times, that can almost be called the Conferred God of World War I!

  Thousands of times the rate of return, almost only exists in angel investment, because the investment is small.

  In fact, when many angel investors invest in a certain project, because of the outstanding performance of the project, they have made additional investments in the later stage to prevent their shares from being diluted.

  The relevant news reported by the media almost ignores the follow-up investment of others, and only calculates the rate of return of the angel round, because the title is exaggerated and bluffing!

  Xia Jingxing also enjoyed the “Title Party” treatment, and some media directly shouted out nearly a thousand times the return!

  As the media digs further, others have discovered that this is Xia Jingxing’s first venture capital exit project!

   just promoted to “well-known investor” Xia Jingxing, and was dubbed by the media as “the pinnacle when he debuted”.

  If Xia Jingxing does not have a Facebook share, he can start bluffing and swindling even with these titles, and he will have no worries about eating and drinking for the rest of his life.

  Fudge a few rich people to invest a sum to form a venture capital fund, it is not too simple.

  The news that Xia Jingxing had earned more than 300 million US dollars spread to the United States, which caused the Americans to exclaim.

  Almost all Americans think that after Xia Jingxing leaves Facebook, it is impossible to create more brilliant results.

  Now in the case of Scape, a small profit of two or three billion dollars is not particularly brilliant, but it is amazing enough!

  And how long Xia Jingxing has been in business, I am afraid it is just the beginning.

What’s interesting is that the group of well-known American institutional partners who suspected Xia Jingxing’s bad investment at the time were all pulled out of their previous remarks and dragged out their corpses. The media and netizens made various ridicules, but none of them responded and they all pretended to be die.

  In China, Tianya Forum, Xia Jingxing’s fan base, has already become a scene, celebrating the birth of a world-renowned venture capitalist in China.

  What's more, he shouted the slogan "Looking forward to Xia Jingxing's revitalization of China's venture capital industry".

  Many entrepreneurs in China paid attention to Xia Jingxing for the first time and learned about Vision Capital.

  Under countless praise, Xia Jingxing silently opened Facebook, Twitter, and the school intranet, and simultaneously updated a post.

  "Successfully completed the first angel investment exit project in my life, and look forward to welcoming the first IPO exit!"

  What is pretense, this is it!

  However, others are pretending to be coercive, and it is Xia Jingxing's turn to be humble.

  Xia Jingxing still has some iron fans in the United States, and they have been paying attention to the dynamics of this business icon.

  However, it has been more than a month since the last "Tesla incident", and Xia Jingxing has not updated the news.

  Waiting for Xia Jingxing's updates on Facebook and Twitter, countless followers squeezed in to leave messages, likes, and reposts.

  Compared with Facebook and Twitter, Xia Jingxing’s school intranet account is much more lonely.

  Influence is only limited to the school intranet in Beijing, and only Huang Xin has added Xia Jingxing’s friends.

  Huang Xin replied under Xia Jingxing’s dynamic: Boss Xia is awesome, please come back to China and invite me to drink.

  …………

  …………

  The plane landed in Lin'an, Xia Jingxing got into the car that came to pick him up, and drove to the headquarters of Ari.

  Sitting in the back row, Xia Jingxing was talking on the phone with foreign girls on the other side of the ocean.

  At this time, it was late at night in the United States. The foreign girl's voice seemed very lazy. After chatting for a while, the topic was brought to Scape by the foreign girl.

   "Where can there be more than 300 million US dollars? Don't listen to the media rumors, only 228 million US dollars!"

  Forget it, that's not right. Why is there an extra 20 million US dollars? So she began to dig into the roots.

  Xia Jingxing and other shareholders, the transaction with DFJ was very secretive. At DFJ’s request, all the people in charge were tight-lipped and did not disclose it to the media.

  So in external reports, the rights and interests of gambling are all mentioned in one go.

  But the foreign girl is not an outsider, but an insider. Xia Jingxing didn't hide it, and told her all about it.

   "You're so sure, you won't be able to bet against each other?"

  Xia Jingxing laughed "Haha", laughing loudly, "Anyway, I know it in my heart and I won't make a mistake."

   Foreign girls generally don’t get involved in Xia Jingxing’s career. This is also a characteristic of European and American women, who are financially independent of each other.

  Hearing that Xia Jingxing was so confident, the babes did not ask much.

   "When are you going home?"

  The foreign girl’s voice was a little tempting, and Xia Jingxing was immediately relieved of sleepiness. He also glanced at the front row. The driver and Zhang Chenguang both looked at the road and did not look everywhere.

  Because it was late at night in the United States, the babes teased Xia Jingxing again and hung up the phone with a grin.

  After hanging up, Xia Jingxing was a little empty.

  It didn’t take long for the car to reach Ari’s headquarters.

  Getting out of the car, Xia Jingxing saw a thin figure wearing cloth shoes and a smile on his face beckoning to him at the entrance of the building in the distance.

  Xia Jing walked up and shook hands with each other with a big smile, "Lao Ma, long time no see!"

   "Daren!"

  Jack Ma retracted his hand, and Chao Xia Jingxing gave a thumbs up, "I heard about it in Lin'an, "Eaby acquired Scape at a sky-high price, and Chinese investors made nearly 3 billion yuan."

  Xia Jingxing laughed blankly. This domestic reporter is also a talented person, and he automatically converts U.S. dollars into renminbi, which looks bigger and more bluffing.

   "Am I not an enemy?"

  Xia Jingxing walked towards the building with Jack Ma, laughing and joking with the latter, “People say that eaby has PayPal in his left hand, Skype in his right hand, Internet payment in one hand, and Internet communication in the other, and they all grab good cards.

  After the merger is completed, it will become one of the world's top Internet giants. "

  Jack Ma waved his hand, with a calm face, "You are too polite, Ari has never been afraid of eaby, and eBay will not be long."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and nodded, "That's good!"

  Jack Ma led Xia Jingxing to a conference room called "Guangmingding".

  As soon as Xia Jingxing walked in, she saw Yang Zhiyuan and Sun Zhengyi nodding and smiling at him.

   "Xia Jun, this investment of Scape is impressive!"

  Yang Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Dalun, should you call you a capital tycoon in the future?"
