After he regained his strength, Han Zhengyu asked, "Mr. Kang, what did you just say, 110 billion agreed?"

"Yes, Mr. Han is right. The price is not too low. Dong is benevolent and kind, and Lao Yan and I can't be too unkind." Kang Youde said with a righteous expression on his face.

"I discussed it with Lao Yan just now, and we both agreed to the offer, Mr. Han, sign the contract now?" Kang Youde asked.

After making a decision in his heart, Kang Youde is now worried that Han Zhengyu will change his mind. He is afraid that he will delay until tomorrow, and then tomorrow's final quotation will come out, and the price will be "lower" than today's. If Hai turned his back on him again, he would be at a loss.

"Is this the way to sign the contract?" Han Zhengyu was really speechless, so he asked.

Seeing the somewhat 'hesitant' expression on Han Zhengyu's face, Kang Youde and Yan Ruhua glanced at each other. The two had cooperated tacitly for many years, and their eyes instantly completed the exchange of information, and finally nodded to each other.

Kang Youde said: "Yes, let's sign the contract. Lao Yan and I have been here for a long time. After the two of us have made plans for this side, we will return to Hangzhou early tomorrow morning. There are still many things to do over there. let's do it."

This reason is found, impeccable!

"But I came in a hurry. I don't have a contract template here, and President Kang and President Yan don't need to find a third party to prove it? Such a large transaction, is it in US dollars or RMB? Receipt? Shall we not discuss it in detail?" Han Zhengyu became more active this time, and asked a lot of questions in a rambling manner.

The more he is like this, in the eyes of Kang Youde and Yan Ruhua, he feels that he wants to repent. This feeling is very bad, and even made them think in their hearts for a while: "Did Shang Fuhai know something?" , isn't the transaction price so high tomorrow?"

People are complicated, and people's hearts are even more complicated!

No need for others to say, I can instantly make up the "truth that I think is very correct" by relying on what I hear or see a certain corner of the image. I have to say, this is terrible!

Kang Youde wanted to say a few more words, but Yan Ruhua stepped forward and said, "Mr. Han, there is indeed no formal contract, and neither of us is prepared, so let's initial sign an agreement and print our fingerprints. It is the same as the contract." , have the same legal effect."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Han Zhengyu. He didn't express any objection. Yan Ruhua continued: "As for the details of the follow-up, we can communicate verbally tonight, write it into the agreement, and then take some time to complete the formal contract. You How about this?"

Han Zhengyu took out his hand, and Kang Youde and his two thought that he was going to call Shang Fuhai for instructions. They were very nervous, and they were afraid of hearing the word 'no'. Who knew that Han Zhengyu had transferred to the computer function, and they pressed the button. , Then raised his head, and when Kang Youde and Yan Ruhua were speechless, they said: "2.77 million, a huge transaction of 18 billion yuan, Mr. Kang, Mr. Yan, this amount of money is not a small amount, I am afraid that the time of payment kind of..."

"That's not a problem, Mr. Han, it's okay to pay one-third first, and then pay one-third after the remaining three months. How about paying in full in half a year?" Kang Youde even thought of a flexible method. .

Han Zhengyu wanted to laugh in his heart, but he suppressed it with all his strength. At this time, he must not laugh, otherwise his success will fail, and his boss Shang Fuhai will really kill him when he finds out afterwards.

"Mr. Kang, it is now May 5th. We will pay you 20 million before the end of the month, and another 1 million before October, and the final balance will be paid before April next year." Han Zhengyu said.

Yan Ruhua objected at that time: "That won't work, the time span is close to a year, Mr. Han, it would be too disrespectful for you to do this, not to mention anything else, just that the annual interest of nearly 2 million US dollars is not a small amount. number."

"That's no problem. I can convince my boss to pay you interest according to the bank's interest rate within the payment cycle." Han Zhengyu said simply.

"..."

Kang Youde and Yan Ruhua looked at Han Zhengyu in unison, trying to see something different on his face.

It's a pity that they failed. The expression on Han Zhengyu's face didn't change at all, just like a zombie's face.

Before they came back to their senses, Han Zhengyu continued to ask: "Mr. Kang, Mr. Yan, can you give me a quick word? If yes, I will call my boss right now to ask for instructions. If not, I will also call my boss." talk……"

"My boss originally planned to pursue investment if the price was not high at tomorrow's financing meeting. To be honest, it was unexpected that the shares of Mr. Kang and Mr. Yan would be sold. My boss also said that if Mr. Kang and Mr. Yan are willing, He is also very happy to solve the problems for the two of you, so the follow-up investment at the financing meeting will be given up. In this way, we can pay the down payment to Mr. Kang and Mr. Yan with the follow-up investment fund we have prepared in advance!" Han Zhengyu continued flicker.

Get paid right away!

All of a sudden, Kang Youde and Yan Ruhua were completely moved.

1 million U.S. dollars, converted into renminbi is 6.5 million U.S. dollars. Just the 1400 million U.S. dollars they invested the year before, this time not only directly recovered the cost, but also earned back more than 6 times the profit in advance.

When it was time for this harvest to land, the two of them became a little excited when they thought about it.

"Signed!" Kang Youde and Yan Ruhua nodded in unison, and at this moment they had a tacit understanding.

Chapter 585 Final Assignment

It was almost nine o'clock in the evening. At the banquet before the financing, a group of elites in the circle were very relaxed and drinking very high. They had long lost the elegance and self-cultivation of the past.

For example, because Zhou Hang drank too fast, he sweated frequently, took off his jacket early, and pulled the neckline open.

When Yu Zhaohui was about to meet Shang Fuhai, Shang Fuhai's cell phone rang.

Yu Zhaohui was not happy: "Shang Dong, drink first, and answer the phone while drinking, according to the rules, you will be fined three drinks."

Are you going to escape by answering the phone? It's such an old routine. Who are you kidding!

Shang Fuhai smiled slightly: "I'll definitely drink this wine with President Yu first, and we're done."

"Happy, I said Shang Dong is a happy person, you see it!" Yu Zhaohui looked at the others proudly and said.

Shang Fuhai did what he said, and after drinking with Yu Zhaohui, he saw that the phone screen was still flickering, and connected directly: "Kevin, what did you say?"

It was too messy here, he couldn't hear clearly, so he apologized to the person at the same table, and took his mobile phone to answer the call elsewhere.

Shen Nanpeng sat a few seats away from him. When Shang Fuhai got up, he subconsciously looked at him more. For some reason, he always had a special feeling in his heart, as if he had forgotten something.

After Shang Fuhai came out of the room, he found a clean corner: "Kevin, tell me."

"Boss, the matter is over, 110 billion will be paid in three installments..."

Han Zhengyu explained the matter in detail on the phone, and finally said: "Boss, I just signed an agreement with Kang Youde and Yan Ruhua, and the specific contract will be signed on Monday the day after tomorrow. No?"

"Kevin, you've done a great job. It's a full 120 billion less than the 10 billion I expected. That's great. Then tell them to wait two more days, sign the contract on the 23rd, and make the first payment before the end of the month." Shang Fuhai finally said.

"I see!"

"Well, Kevin, you did a great job this time. I have to think about how to reward you when I get back." The generous Boss Shang finally remembered this incident.

Naturally, Han Zhengyu would not refuse these rewards, so he just said politely, and before Shang Fuhai could reply, he quickly hung up the call, for fear that Shang Fuhai would take his polite words seriously, wouldn't it be a loss? .

Why not make money.

And according to the boss, there must be a lot of rewards this time, so he won't feel ashamed of receiving it.

After returning to the room, Shang Fuhai continued to drink with other people. This time, he had a bottom line and drank more freely.

While drinking, Shang Fuhai took a quick glance at Zhang Yiming, Wang Qiong and Shen Nanpeng who were walking at the same table, feeling like they were snatching food, so happy!

Zhang Yiming and Wang Qiong couldn't help but look at him twice because of Shang Fuhai's attitude. They always felt that Shang Fuhai went out to answer the phone, and when he came back, he felt different. They were all puzzled when they came. It's different, but I can't tell.

At the night banquet the day before the financing, Shang Fuhai got very drunk.

He basically gave up following the investment, so he didn't have to think about tomorrow's affairs, so what if he was drunk, he had a good night's sleep, and Shang Fuhai was revived again the next day.

After having breakfast in the hotel where they stayed, Shang Fuhai, Zhou Hang, Yu Zhaohui, and He Guangyuan took the bus arranged by Zhang Yiming and went to the company first. Deli Hotel, this is also the hotel that was originally decided when Paike short video financing.

It was still in the comprehensive luxury venue on the top floor of the hotel that was used in the last short video financing. Last time, Shang Fuhai was the host and Zhang Yiming was the guest. This time it was just reversed.

Zhang Yiming arrived earlier than them. After tidying up, Shang Fuhai also admitted that Lao Zhang was a little more handsome than him today.

Um!Only a little bit.

Shang Fuhai and Cao Yi came in together, chatting about today's financing while walking, and the two guessed today's quotation separately.

Cao Yi asked: "Shang Dong, how much are you going to vote with today?"

Shang Fuhai looked left and right, and said mysteriously: "Cao Dong, I won't hide it from you, this time I have prepared [-] million yuan of funds. Recently, there are many things at hand, and the development of various places is using money, and more I can't get it out either."

When Cao Yi heard the words, he asked him directly: "Shang Dong is really short of money or is it fake? If so, I still have more money. Why don't we find a place to chat after today's work is over?"

I am Nima!

"Old Cao, have you got water in your head? That's what I mean, do you really not understand or are you pretending to be confused?" Shang Fuhai complained in his stomach.

Looking at Cao Yi's playful expression, he knew he was being tricked, so he raised his fist with a haughty face: "Old Cao, believe it or not, I dare to beat you."

"Clap"

Shang Fuhai was about to repair Cao Yi, and Zhang Yiming, who was standing on the high platform in front of him, clapped his hands twice, attracting all eyes, and the pre-financing speech began.

Zhang Yiming is no longer as humble as he was in the previous two rounds of financing. You have to discount the daily user activity of 1 million to 7000 million. Can these two figures be the same?Can the value generated by it be the same?

This time, Shang Fuhai magnified the various data generated by Toutiao as much as possible. In terms of the cumulative total downloads of users for Toutiao, the number of daily active users and the most important advertising revenue, Zhang Yiming used Thick pen and ink to describe it emphatically.

In addition, when it comes to Toutiao's future development and investment priorities, Zhang Yiming also speaks clearly.

These contents are mainly for the investors who came to participate in the financing for the first time. For shareholders such as Wang Qiong, Shen Nanpeng, Shang Fuhai, Cao Yi, and Yuri, who were originally Toutiao, they have read it more than once. Just to pass the time.

After the presentation of the company's content in the first session, the next session of responses and mutual answers, this time people who were very interested in financing began to ask questions they wanted to know. Zhang Yiming and other staff members of Toutiao tried their best Can give the employer the most rigorous answer.

Sometimes she is really too busy, and she will help to answer some things that Wang Qiong also knows. Compared with Shang Fuhai, You Qi, Cao Yi and the others, Wang Qiong is more qualified.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Zhang Yiming has a special relationship with her.

This time D discussion financing took out 10% of Jinxing financing, and correspondingly all the shares held by the original shareholders of Toutiao will be diluted in equal proportion.

Wang Qiong originally planned to continue to follow the investment and use it to ensure the proportion of Toutiao's shares held by Haina Asia, but in the end, for some reason, she gave up most of the follow-up investment in this round, and only A part of the capital increase is symbolic.

As for the founder of Toutiao, Zhang Yiming, he did not choose to increase capital either. He and his entrepreneurial team still hold more than 30.00% of the company’s shares. funds.

At this time, each financing is often in the amount of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars, which is distributed to various shareholders who want to increase capital, at least tens of millions of U.S. dollars, and more than a few hundred million. within the tolerance of his team members.

Correspondingly, only part of the shares can be relinquished.

It's just that Shang Fuhai's final choice confused Wang Qiong and Zhang Yiming, and he didn't choose to continue to add value. This is very strange, and it can be said that it is not Shang Fuhai's style at all.

In the preliminary work of preparing for the D round, Shang Fuhai said more than once that he would keep his current shares and follow up with the investment, but now he is taking a break?

I don’t know if the inertia of history is at fault, but Toutiao’s final quotation for the D round of financing this time has reached 110 billion U.S. dollars, and a total of 10 billion U.S. dollars has been raised.

In the process of this wave of quotations, CCB International directly stood out and announced that it had won a third of the shares in the financing round with a huge sum of money, spending more than 3.4 million US dollars.

In addition, under the leadership of Shen Nanpeng, Sequoia China, which led the investment, also showed his "wolf nature" side, investing 3 million yuan to win 2.9% of the shares.

For the remaining 3.7% of the shares, both Yuri and Cao Yi followed suit. There is no more, but they just kept their previous shares unchanged. The two parts add up to 1% and 0.3% respectively, which is not too much .

And Dehua Investment, which is also a shareholder, also gave up this round of follow-up investment and diluted its own shares in equal proportions. Correspondingly, this part must be deducted from the transaction between Shangfuhai and Dehua Investment.

In addition, Ali Capital and Hillhouse Capital also joined in this round. Zhou Hang and Ma Zheng showed extraordinary decisiveness at the critical moment, and they equally divided the remaining 2.4% of the financing share.

So far, Toutiao’s D round of financing has ended. This time Toutiao has received a total of US$10 billion in financing. After this round of financing, Toutiao officially announced to the market that its valuation exceeded US$110 billion.

After the end of this round of financing, in addition to the new investor CCB International, which holds 3.4% of the shares, Ali Capital and Hillhouse Capital each hold 1.2% of the shares, DST’s Yuri and Source Code Capital’s Cao Yi are still in their respective positions. The 10.3% and 3.56% stakes remained unchanged.

Sequoia China originally held 12.31% of Toutiao’s shares. After this round of financing, Sequoia increased part of its capital and invested another part, holding a total of 13.98% of Toutiao’s shares.

Then Shang Fuhai originally held 6.59% of the shares, but after being diluted this time, Shang Fuhai did not choose to follow the investment, but he bought the shares they held from Dehua Investment, adding this part In the name of Haifei Investment, Shangfuhai finally held 8.45% of the shares of Toutiao.

Haina Asia did not choose to follow the investment this time, and after dilution of shares, it still holds 28.31% of the shares.

The last part is the 29.6% shares jointly held by Zhang, the founder of Toutiao, and the founder team and management of Toutiao.

Chapter 586 The new billionaire in the Internet circle

In the comprehensive luxury venue on the top floor of Kaidili Hotel, today’s Toutiao’s D round of financing came to an end with a high valuation of 110 billion US dollars. The moment the dust settled on this valuation, it directly detonated the investment circle.

They all remember that in Toutiao’s C round of financing the year before last, it used the financing round of innovative technology companies to obtain a total of 14 million US dollars in financing in 1, but its shares at that time were only 5 million US dollars.

In just two years, Toutiao’s market-approved valuation has generally doubled by 24 times. This result has left many people dumbfounded.

At the same time, some people recalled the resale of shares in Toutiao, which was fired last summer, because that incident involved WB, a well-known domestic Internet company listed on the East Coast of the United States, but the acquirer was an unknown Small door and small household.

But even if his reputation is not obvious, he was extremely courageous at the beginning and got that part of Toutiao's shares from WB at a valuation of 15 billion US dollars. Up to now, exactly one year has passed, and WB has already Started with a valuation of 5 million and made 3 times the profit, but where is this taker?

In just one year, the value of the acquired shares has increased by at least 7 times!

In the same year, the latecomers earned more than double that of WB. At the beginning, one was eager to sell, and the other was desperate to buy. Would the people of WB think of this result?

When most people think that the D-round financing of Kaideli Hotel is over, this feast of wealth sharing should be over.

In the end, Zhang Yiming communicated with the present employers or the newly promoted shareholders of the company. At the same time, he also said to Wang Qiong: "Sister Qiong, you should first contact Kang Youde and Yan Ruhua from Dehua Investment, and take the assets in their hands. The shares have been finalized."

"Okay!" Wang Qiong nodded and left.

At the same time, Sequoia's bloodthirsty old wolf, Shen Nanpeng, also walked out of the venue.

However, no matter whether it was Wang Qiong or Lao Shen, when they got through the phone calls of Kang Youde and Yan Ruhua, and were about to make a new offer to buy the shares of Toutiao in their hands, they got a thunderbolt from the two of them. the result of.

"Wang Dong, I'm very sorry, the shares we hold have been transferred to other people last night, and the agreement has been signed." Kang Youde said.

"Mr. Shen, I'm really sorry. Lao Yan and I originally planned to leave the shares to Mr. Shen, but the other party's offer was really sincere. He directly offered an offer of 110 billion yuan. Lao Yan and I were serious about it. After thinking about it, based on Mr. Shen's quotation of 95 billion two days ago, we probably can't accept this new quotation, so we didn't bother Mr. Shen anymore..." Yan Ruhua said in a serious and detailed way.

But because of this, Shen Nanpeng felt "this slap" was slapped on his face hard, it was really loud!

The five-fingered hands exploded violently, and the phone creaked when he pinched it. In the end, the angry Shen Nanpeng threw it directly on the wall on the left and smashed it to pieces. Furious: "Who, who is it!"

He only felt that his face was being slapped and it was burning.

"Too much deceit!" Shen Nanpeng had a gloomy face, and there was a gloomy look in his eyes.

Wang Qiong's face was not very good-looking either.

She called Kang Youde just now after she walked out of the luxurious meeting place. She didn't even get in the car at the moment, so she directly canceled the next move. There has never been an action as fast as this time, but she really wanted to hit someone.
