Chapter 272 A Unicorn with a Valuation of 10 Billion (6 More Celebrations)
"By the way, how many houses did you buy in total?"

Lu Yu asked casually.

What makes this new program different is that there is no special script and no fixed lines. It is more casual and easier to show the real side of the interviewees.

"How many houses have you bought in total? Let me think about it!"

"Beiyang has two sets, Linzhou's Yueda City has... 12 sets, and Yanjing's 3 sets, and Linzhou has..."

The more Lu Yu listened, the more surprised he became, until Lin Cheng calculated the exaggerated result of "21 houses".

A 19-year-old boy who is still in his first year of college owns as many as 21 houses in Beiyang, Linzhou, and Tianhai.

If this person wasn't Lin Cheng, maybe even she wouldn't be able to imagine it.

"Actually, when it comes to buying a house, there is often no way around it. It's not considered an investment, and I don't think about how much money I can make from buying a house. Basically, it's just a need." Lin Cheng explained.

In the beginning, he bought a house for investment in the next ten years, for asset value preservation and asset appreciation.

But as his companies became more and more large, the proportion of real estate investment became smaller and smaller, and it became more and more meaningless.

If Lin Cheng really wanted to speculate in real estate, he would not buy a house with all the money, let alone just 21 properties.

"Your just need is really big enough!"

Lu Yu smiled awkwardly.

At the beginning of the interview, Lin Cheng's company only left for a few minutes, and neither of them sat in his office yet.

However, Lu Yu has already noticed that huge change.

Today's Lin Cheng is no longer the youthful boy he was half a year ago.

Last year he was just young and frivolous, but this year he is already young and promising!

"Hello, Mr. Lin!"

Walking into the president's office, Wang Manni stood up first to greet her.

Then came four young and beautiful female secretaries who greeted in unison—"Hello, Mr. Lin!"

"Are these your secretaries?"

Lu Yu was dumbfounded.

Five secretaries!

And all of them are women, all of them are beauties!
"There are too many companies and businesses, so I only set up one office, and then gathered the secretaries of all the branches to form a secretariat."

"These companies are all located in the same building, with upper and lower floors, for the convenience of communication with each other."

Lin Cheng gave a brief introduction, and then walked through the reception room and the secretariat, and came to the innermost, real president's office, which is also the chairman's office of Shining Star Group.

A person has multiple roles, and they are all integrated together.

"They're all female secretaries, and they're all beauties. Are you not afraid of rumors and bad things about you?"

Lu Yu sat on the sofa, the material was so soft that he didn't even want to get up.

"I have to deal with so many jobs every day, and I have to write songs, record songs, write novels, accept interviews from you from time to time, and I have to go back to school often to prepare for various exams."

"I don't want to find a few beauties to look pleasing to the eye, so why don't I find a group of Feng sisters to embarrass myself?"

Lin Cheng asked back of course.

Ability aside, at least she is good-looking, with a good face, good figure, good hair, and a good voice. No matter how you look at it, she is a pleasing beauty.

Besides, these four newly recruited female secretaries are all 985/211 university graduates, and all of them have a master's degree or above, which is not as simple as a vase.

"That's true! If I started a company like you and needed to find a group of secretaries, maybe I would hire some handsome guys, or at least beauties!"

Lu Yu nodded approvingly.

"Mr. Lin, what would you like to drink? Or mineral water?"

Wang Manni stepped in and asked softly.

At the age of 31, she is the oldest among all Lin Cheng's secretaries.However, he is the one who knows how to observe words and expressions, and is the one who knows how to deal with the world.

"Come and listen to Coke, I'm a little tired today!" Lin Cheng shook his head and asked for a can of Coke.

"Okay!" Wang Manni turned to look at Lu Yu, "Miss Lu, what about you?"

"I... want a Coke too!"

Lu Yu is not a person who likes cola, and he doesn't even like sweets, otherwise he wouldn't be so thin.

However, guests can do whatever they want, and when they are in other people's territory, it is naturally not easy to make random demands.

Soon, two cans of Coke were delivered to the two of them.

Lin Cheng was very used to drinking one third in one go.

"I thought that a highly educated, talented, young and rich person like you would like to drink something more elite!" Lu Yu showed a puzzled look.

"for example?"

Lin Cheng asked with a smile.

"Such as red wine, champagne, or imported high-end mineral water, Manuka honey from New Zealand."

Lu Yu casually cited a few examples, obviously her usual life is quite delicate.

"Don't drink while driving, don't drink and drive! Although I have a driver, I often have to drive myself. If I'm not particularly tired, I actually prefer to drive by myself."

"So, alcohol is excluded unless it's for entertainment. As for mineral water or honey water, it depends on the situation. Personally, I prefer this fat house happy water!"

Lin Cheng's simple explanation was very casual.

The purpose of this program is to show the real appearance of celebrities, there is no need to set up any persona.

Moreover, according to the general trend in the future, the down-to-earth and people-friendly image will be more popular with the public.

"Different people do have different preferences. But Lin Cheng likes to drink Coke, which is quite unexpected."

"By the way, it is said that your Tiantian Tingge has received a joint B round of financing from SoftBank Group and Sequoia Capital a few days ago. Can you tell me more?"

Lu Yu smiled and continued with other topics.

"Mr. Masayoshi Lin of Softbank, I took the initiative to find him to invest in an economic forum at the beginning of the year. He is a very good investor. After listening to my vision plan, he gave me 1000 million US dollars very readily investment, and agreed with me for a three-month period.”

"That was the A round of financing. Mr. Lin exchanged 1000 million U.S. dollars for 25% of Tingge's shares. Then came the B round a few days ago. This time they valued me at 1.5 million U.S. dollars. It is the 3000 million investment from Softbank and Sequoia, which only took 20% of the shares.”

Lin Cheng recalled the original scene, and he is still a little surprised. "Both the financing scale and the valuation have exceeded my expectations. Of course, this also proves that international investment banks trust Tingge every day and myself. Pay attention to."

Of course, Lin Cheng had good things to say about the many people who were taken advantage of by throwing coins, but he blew it to the sky with all his might.

After SoftBank Group and Sequoia Capital’s B round of financing was completed, Lin Cheng’s shareholding in Tingge dropped from 75% to 60%, while the valuation of his shares rose from US$3000 million to US$9000 million. , tripled.

Today, Lin Cheng holds 45% of the shares in Tingge, and is currently the largest shareholder with the most shares. SoftBank Group holds 25%, Sequoia Capital holds 15%, and Weibo holds 15%.

At the same time, Lin Cheng had 5% of the shares, which were directly transferred and realized at a price of 500 million US dollars.The remaining 10% is diluted because of the company's capital increase.

It was equivalent to the value of Lin Cheng's holdings skyrocketing from 3000 million US dollars to 9000 million US dollars, and at the same time, he also cashed out 500 million US dollars.

And the price he bought Tingge last year was only 2900 million yuan.

Although the method of capital increase and dilution will make the 5% of the shares look more valuable.But Lin Cheng understands the truth that pockets are safe, only the money in his hands is the real money.

This time he cashed out, he directly recovered all the costs - and made a small profit of 500 million.

In his previous life, Lin Cheng often watched a UP host named Surf Plus at Station B after dinner, which was full of fortune histories of various companies.Many of them are new start-ups. Relying on the money of investors, the founders have turned from poor dicks to billionaires in just a few years.

Rich people are much smarter than ordinary people and much stupider than ordinary people.

Even the well-known Lin Zhengyi would be ruined by young juniors in their twenties and lose all their underwear.

It is obviously a very simple scam, but there will always be large investment institutions, jumping into the pit one after another, and stepping in one after another.

Greed is more stupid than stupid!
