Rebirth Starts From 2006 Chapter 540

Rainbow Iron Triangle, Chen Yang is in charge of strategic planning, Qin Yu is in charge of tactical execution, Huang Shan is in charge of operation management,

Before any one of the three of them withdraws, no one else can get involved, and no one else needs to be involved.

Therefore, it is impossible for this decision-making level to accept anyone to enter.

However, not having the opportunity to enter the decision-making level does not mean that others will not have the opportunity to serve as executives in Rainbow Group.

The old courtiers who followed Chen Yang, starting from Zhang Chunli, Li Rong, Xue Ying, Dai Shouliang, and later Wang Tao, Zhou Daoen,

These people, whether it is for profit or for honor, must give them a title,

If there is no Rainbow Group, that's all.

But with the Rainbow Group, there is a higher management organization above them, and Chen Yang will arrange a management position for them in this organization,

In the name of the vice president of Rainbow Group, it is the most appropriate and best way to manage the subordinate enterprises, which will not only save face, but also will not damage Rainbow's internal management mechanism.

As for Mr. Wu's thoughts, Chen Yang can somewhat guess a little bit.

only,

Chen Yang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, heaved a sigh of relief, and turned his gaze out of the window,

What I can give to Mr. Wu must be worthy of his contribution. The key is whether I can satisfy Mr. Wu's ambition, then it is out of my consideration.

Anyway, after three or five years, even if Mr. Wu still stays in Zhanrui, it will be more of a totem symbol.

Does it matter whether you stay or not? !

The car slowly drove into the garden, the door slid open, Huang Shan got out of the car first,

Chen Yang put down the teacup, walked down with a bent body, and took a look around before he could clearly see what kind of environment the house where he lived in for the night was like.

It's not a small garden. There is a sycamore forest in the west, and behind the garden is a two-story French villa. Although it is not as majestic as the one in Beverly Hills, it is exquisite and elegant.

As for the courtyard wall, there are high-rise buildings in Shanghai, which look like distant mountains.

Huang Shan walked to his side and said softly, "I just received a message from Lao Liu. He is in Shanghai now. I hope to have an interview with you. How should I reply to him?"

Chen Yang turned his head, his face full of astonishment, "Old Liu from Jingdong?"

Seeing Huang Shan nodding, he couldn't help asking, "He's also in Shanghai? What do you want from me?"

Huang Shan tilted her head and said with a smile, "What else can I do, let's raise money."

Hearing this, Chen Yang lost all his drunkenness, and then waved his hand, "Come on, let's talk in the room."

Sitting in front of the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows, Huang Shan brought two cups of coffee by herself, put one down in front of him first, then sat opposite him, and said with a faint smile,

"Before the outbreak of the financial crisis last year, Lao Liu was quite prosperous.

First, we voted for him in the A round, and then recruited Jingdong to join the supercomputing project. On the one hand, it helped them take off, and on the other hand, it also raised their value.

I remember that after the establishment of the Xijiang Supercomputing Center project, many venture capital institutions approached Lao Liu, hoping to invest in Jingdong.

At that time, Lao Liu was really high-spirited. He hated this one and hated that one. In the end, he chose an American investment institution.”

Chen Yang picked up the coffee and took a sip, then looked at Huang Shan in surprise,

Huang Shan noticed his eyes, and the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, "You don't believe it?"

Chen Yang chuckled, "No."

I said no, but I was a little surprised in my heart.

In his impression, Jingdong Lao Liu's road to financing this year has not been smooth.

It seems that from the end of 2007 to the beginning of 2008, Lao Liu met with forty or fifty VCs in a row, and all the answers he got were NO.

Until later, under the recommendation of Capital Today, I got to know an American venture capital company. Could it be this one?

But this time, Lao Liu is quite awesome. During the financial crisis, he can still pick and choose, which is not bad.

But before he swallowed his coffee, he heard Huang Shan say,

"Originally, what he negotiated with that American company was that the valuation was 1.5 billion U.S. dollars and the financing was 250 million U.S. dollars. At that time, he talked to me and I agreed, but soon, something happened. .”

Chen Yang rolled his throat twice, swallowed the coffee, looked at Huang Shan and said with a smile, "The other party repented?"

"yes,"

Huang Shan shrugged, pouted her lips and said, "First, it dropped from 250 million to 200 million, and then to 100 million. Yesterday, the other party officially notified Lao Liu that they could only give him 20 million US dollars, and the valuation would be more expensive." down to $500 million."

Chen Yang raised his brows lightly, and grinned, "Isn't our rainbow signboard so faceless?!"

What he said is not that Wang Po sells melons and sells melons to boast,

Now the Rainbow Fund is a living sign. I don't know how many investors want to hand over their funds to the Rainbow Fund, but there is no way out.

So there were some smart people who turned their attention to the companies that Honggu Capital had invested in.

Such as Souhu Weibo, such as Sougou, such as Twitter, Tesla, and Jingdong,

If it wasn't for the time being that they really didn't need so much money, one of these companies would count as one, and I'm afraid all of them would be listed on Nasdaq to ring the bell.

But now this American company, obviously having got the opportunity to invest in Jingdong, suddenly regretted it.

Why, look down on Rainbow Fund?

Hearing Chen Yang's words, Huang Shan smiled and said,

"There are two reasons. First, although Rainbow Fund has shocked the world's financial circles, no one wants to hand over funds to us. However, as a sister company of Rainbow Fund,"

Chen Yang immediately waved his hand, "It's a brother company!"

Huang Shan rolled her eyes, ignored him, and continued,

"Honggu Capital has not yet had a real success story. Whether it is Twitter, Tesla, or these domestic companies, before the official opening bell, all valuations are just a series of numbers. has real meaning,

If things are going smoothly, many people are willing to follow suit. This is the fundamental reason why Lao Liu had so many VCs to choose from half a year ago.

But unfortunately,

With the intensification of the financial crisis, there are very few capitals that still have the capacity to expand globally.

It is precisely because of this that the Rainbow Fund, which has been advancing all the way, is so eye-catching.

Well, this has nothing to do with Jingdong, so I won't talk about it,

After being pitched by the American wind company, Lao Liu also looked back to those venture capitalists that he rejected back then.

But the problem now is that those venture capitalists who wanted to follow Fenghonggu Capital and invest in Jingdong half a year ago have all died down now, and they no longer have the spare energy to fight this one.

It's not that no one can spend the money, but it's a pity that the actual value of Jingdong is too far away, and 10 to 20 million dollars is only a drop in the bucket for Jingdong today.”

Speaking of this, Huang Shan looked at Chen Yang, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, "Do you know what Jingdong's valuation is now?"

Chen Yang rolled his eyes, "Fifty million?"

He remembered that during the financial crisis that year, Jingdong's valuation fell to as low as 40 million or 45 million. Anyway, it was less than 50 million.

But with the name of Honggu Capital in it, it can be worth several million no matter what.

Huang Shan smiled embarrassingly, "Although not so far, it's almost there."

Stretching out her right hand, Huang Shan made a gesture of seven, "70 million dollars!"

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything.

This number is not much better.

Huang Shan leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair and said, "And don't forget, Jingdong still owes Honggu Capital a low-interest loan of 20 million US dollars. After deducting this part, Jingdong's valuation is only 50 million dollars." tens of millions of dollars,

The difference between this number and Lao Liu's psychological expectations is beyond reason. Not to mention us, even Lao Liu himself would not be able to agree.

So naturally, Lao Liu turned around and begged us again! "

Chen Yang picked up the coffee, lowered his eyebrows and took a sip in thought. After putting it down, he asked after two seconds, "How long can Jingdong's capital chain last?"

Huang Shan pursed her lips, lifted her chin slightly, and said with a smile, "Five days!"

"Uh,"

Chen Yang blinked, "Doesn't that mean you won't be able to survive the Olympics?"

Immediately my heart moved,

He remembered that Lao Liu got financing this year at the end of December, which was still half a year away, and the funds and support he provided to Jingdong were much more than what he had received back then. Can't hold it anymore?

Huang Shan pursed her lips, and said with a half-smile, "This has something to do with us!"

Um?

Chen Yang's eyes widened, could he be blamed for this?

Facing Boss Chen's unbelievable eyes, Huang Shan smiled and said, "There are two reasons. First, when Xiao Yu went to talk to Lao Liu last year, he communicated with him about your idea of ​​Jingdong's self-built logistics system. , so their investment in this area is more comprehensive,

The more comprehensive, the greater the amount of money spent! "

Hearing this, Chen Yang couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, not daring to say anything.

This makes sense, and he can't argue with it.

"Second,"

Huang Shan folded her arms, leaned on the back of the chair and said, "Jingdong participated in the Xijiang Supercomputing Center. Although they are only a minority shareholder, they still have the right to use the supercomputing center.

With the help of supercomputers, Jingdong's judgment accuracy of customers' consumption habits has been greatly improved. They can even accurately judge which product he will buy based on the user's browsing records, so as to prepare goods in advance, and then according to the user's information, Delivery to his city! "

Speaking of this, Huang Shan couldn't help showing a look of admiration on her face,

"I have to say that Lao Liu is indeed a talent. Jingdong's sales volume last year was less than 400 million yuan, and this year has only passed halfway, and their sales have already exceeded one billion yuan."

"and many more,"

Hearing this, Chen Yang immediately interrupted her and looked at her in surprise, "Jingdong's turnover has exceeded one billion?"

He remembered that Jingdong's annual sales this year seemed to be only 13.4 billion, and it only started to make efforts in the second half of the year.

How come it's only halfway through now, and it broke one billion?

"Yup,"

Huang Shan nodded and said, "Didn't I just say that they use supercomputers to analyze user habits, and they can achieve precise marketing, and their sales efficiency has greatly improved compared to last year, so it's only half a year. It has already broken one billion,"

Speaking of this, Huang Shan sighed, "That is to say, with such a high sales volume and a good profit margin, Lao Liu dared to expand significantly, especially in the Yangtze River Delta with Shanghai as the center, and with Guangzhou, Shenzhen He has invested a lot of resources in Zhujiao, two first-tier cities,

Such a large amount of investment cannot be satisfied by operating income alone, and all the funds we gave him before have been burned.

Now he has no other choice but to continue financing, which is why he wants to meet with you. "

Chen Yang pursed his lips and nodded, thought for a while and said, "But it's useless for him to meet me!"

ah?

Huang Shan raised her head in surprise, and stared blankly at him, "Are you not going to continue investing in Jingdong?"

Speaking of which, Honggu Capital has already invested nearly 100 million US dollars in Jingdong. If Jingdong collapses, it will not do any good to Honggu, but it will be a stain.

After all, from its establishment to the present, whether it is a virtual financial market or a real equity investment, Rainbow and Rainbow Valley have never failed.

Now Jingdong is far from the last moment, even if it is not because of the financial crisis, Jingdong will achieve a valuation of 1.5 billion US dollars, there is no problem at all,

Why didn't the boss vote?

Looking at Huang Shan who was surprised, Chen Yang laughed and said, "I mean, for an investment of less than 500 million US dollars, you can just make a decision, why do you want me!"

Hearing this, Huang Shan couldn't help rolling her eyes,

Angrily, he picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp, put it heavily on the cup holder, and stared at him angrily, "What's the valuation? How much is the investment?"

Seeing that Mr. Shan seemed to be really angry, Boss Chen quickly put away his smiling face, thought about it pretending to be serious, and asked after a while, "What is Jingdong's shareholding structure now?"

Huang Shan almost blurted out, "We hold 54.1%, Lao Liu and his wife together hold 45.9%."

Chen Yang rubbed his face, then gestured and said, "Wait a moment."

Immediately, he took out his mobile phone, clicked on the button inside, found the shareholder group of Zouhu Weibo, and sent a message,

"Everyone, Jingdong's B round of financing has officially launched, with a valuation of 1.5 billion U.S. dollars and a financing scale of 500 million U.S. dollars. Has anyone followed?"

Lao Li reacted the fastest, and immediately hit a series of exclamation points,

Robin, "!!!"

Lao Zhang followed closely behind, "!!"

Finally, the little brother who was a little later,

pony, "How much quota do you put?"

Robin, "Mr. Ma is mighty, and Goose Factory is really rich!"

Lao Zhang, "Mr. Ma is mighty, and the goose factory is really rich! Also, let's ask the same question!"

Robin, "It turns out that I'm the only one who is poor. Well, although I'm not as rich as the two big brothers, even if it's for Mr. Chen's face, I'll give everything I have, and ask for a small share of 100 million US dollars."

pony, "??? Mr. Li, you must be kind!"

Lao Zhang, "That's right, it's not like Mr. Ma and I are always so honest, right Mr. Chen, is the 500 million divided equally? If it is divided equally, I will give up everything that Mr. Li lacks. Next!"

After typing this line~www.mtlnovel.com~Lao Zhang felt a little nervous,

He has a deep relationship with American capital. An old friend told him that as long as Honggu Capital can increase the capital of Souhu Weibo and Sougou, he will absolutely follow. If everything goes well, these two companies will be able to ring the bell at the latest. ,

It can be seen that no matter what the middle and lower VCs think, the top VCs in the United States are not generally optimistic about Rainbow Valley, or the Rainbow Group.

That being the case, Boss Chen has decided to increase his investment in Jingdong. Why doesn't he want the money he picked up for nothing? !

But in the next second, Lao Zhang slapped his forehead with a slap, he was too reckless!

In the dialog box, Mr. Li's message reappeared,

Robin, "What? Even split? Then I must support Mr. Chen. I don't have to say anything. I will follow suit!"

and then the pony,

Pony, "Shall I split it equally? I think it's okay, so I'll follow along. By the way, five divided by three seems to be inexhaustible. I'll sacrifice a little bit more, and we'll split the rest equally!"
