After walking into the study and closing the door, Yao Yuan took the initiative to dial Da Qiangzi's phone number.

"Hello, Mr. Liu, I'm Yao Yuan. I'm glad to speak with you."

The next moment, a strange voice came from the mobile phone.

"Good evening, Mr. Yao, I am Liu Dong from Jindong. I hope I haven't disturbed you."

Yao Yuan chuckled softly and then got straight to the point.

"It's not a bother, Mr. Liu. If you have anything to say, you can just tell me."

"I heard from President Xie that you are planning to find me for financing. Is this the case?"

"I have heard about your Jindong before, and it has a good reputation. I just checked some information online."

"Jindong's business model is very novel and has great development prospects. If the conditions are right, I wouldn't mind investing in your e-commerce company."

He went straight to the point and immediately confused the big Qiangzi on the other end of the phone.

There was a moment of silence before Da Qiangzi responded.

"That's right, Mr. Yao, the reason why I contacted you is that I really want to find you for financing."

"You are the top super rich man in the country and a famous angel investor. Although you invest in film and television projects, I still want to give it a try."

"I want to expand the company's scale, expand its business scope to the whole country, and prepare to build some large-scale warehousing bases and logistics bases."

"These require a lot of financial support, so I looked for financing everywhere and contacted you, hoping to cooperate with you."

After hearing Da Qiangzi's introduction, Yao Yuan pretended to be silent for a moment before giving a response.

"Mr. Liu, as far as I know, at the end of March, didn't you receive $1000 million in financing from Capital Today?"

"Is it possible that all the 1000 million US dollars have been spent? Is the speed of burning money a little too fast?"

Da Qiangzi on the other end of the phone probably didn't expect Yao Yuan to be very aware of his company's first round of financing, and was stunned for a moment.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and woke up in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly gave an explanation.

"I didn't expect you to know about my first round of financing. Yes, I did reach a financing agreement with Capital Today."

"I raised US$1000 million from Capital Today by issuing Class A redeemable and convertible preferred shares and attached stock options."

"However, I have only received part of the 1000 million in financing so far, and I will not receive the entire amount until mid-August!"

"More importantly, according to the development plan I made for the company, this US$1000 million is simply not enough and will not last for long."

"I plan to build a logistics base in Beijing, Shanghai, and Yangcheng to cover North China, East China, and South China respectively."

"In addition, we are also preparing to expand the product line from 3C products to all categories. This requires large amounts of financial support. US$1000 million is far from enough, so we must continue to raise funds."

as predicted!

Jin Dong's development trajectory is still the same as in his previous life, and the ambition and drive of Da Qiangzi have not changed at all!

The only thing that changed was the angel investors who turned the tide!

Zhang Lei is no longer Hillhouse Capital, but now he has become Yao Yuan, who is more powerful.

After listening to Da Qiangzi introducing the reasons for financing, Yao Yuan paused for a moment and then said with a smile:

"Mr. Liu, your long-term plan for Jindong does sound interesting."

"But these are not enough to impress me, let alone enough for me to willingly spend money to support you in realizing your dream."

"Tell me about your company and introduce your financing plan. I would like to know more so that I can make a decision!"

"Okay, Mr. Yao"

Liu Dong responded and immediately began to introduce Jindong's situation and financing plan.

"Just last year, we completed the transformation from offline to online, and now we can maintain a high growth of more than 10% every month. This is enough to prove that we have impressed consumers."

"At the end of last year, our company's annual sales reached 5000 million. According to the current growth rate, this year's sales will steadily exceed [-] million..."

Next, Da Qiangzi kept describing the grand blueprint for Jin Dong.

And the more he talked, the more excited he became, and he was probably already beaming with joy.

Soon, more than ten minutes have passed.

During the questions and answers, Liu Dong finally finished introducing the situation and his rough financing plan.

After listening to the introduction, Yao Yuan did not respond immediately.

He pretended to ponder for a moment and then said with a smile:

"Mr. Liu, my introduction to Jindong is very exciting."

“Now, let’s get down to something practical. How much do you value your company? What is your funding goal?”

"Today Capital, which provided you with the first round of financing, supports or opposes the second round of financing plan?"

Without any hesitation, Da Qiangzi immediately gave the answer.

"Mr. Yao, based on the growth and changes in the company's sales, I have valued the company at US$[-] million, and the target for Series B financing is US$[-] million,"

"Although Capital Today holds 40% of the equity, the financing decision is in my hands and they have no right to stop it. I communicated with Mr. Xu of Capital Today and she agreed to my financing plan."

"Once the B-round financing plan is completed, part of the equity of myself and Capital Today will be diluted and transferred to the name of the new investor."

Yao Yuan chuckled a few times, and then expressed a few emotions.

"Your company's valuation has grown so fast. It has increased six times in just a few months. Once the Series B financing is completed, it will increase ten times."

"Today's capital of US$1000 million has not yet been fully paid, but their 40% equity is already worth US$6000 million. What a good deal!"

Liu Dong hummed, and then continued:

"Indeed, the company is currently in a period of rapid development. The earlier you invest, the higher the returns and the higher the proportion of shares you hold."

"When the company goes public in the future, all investors will be able to get huge returns, and I am confident that the company can be listed."

Yao Yuan has no doubt about this.

He has seen with his own eyes how capable the Great Qiangzi is in running a business.

After a while of discussion, Yao Yuan finally gave the answer.

"Mr. Liu, I can invest in your company, and I can handle the $[-] million in round B financing by myself."

"After completing the financing, out of trust and company development needs, I can become your concerted action person without seeking board control."

"In addition, I will not sign a betting agreement with you, but there is a condition that must be met before I will invest in your company."

Before he finished speaking, Da Qiangzi was already ecstatic.

"What conditions do you have, tell me!"

"As long as this condition is reasonable, I will definitely find a way to meet it."

To him, what Yao Yuan said about acting in concert and not signing a gambling agreement was simply the sound of nature.

He couldn't even dream of such good investment conditions!

Among today’s venture capital institutions and angel investors, who doesn’t sign a gambling agreement? Who doesn’t covet the magpie’s nest and try to firmly control the investment objects in their own hands?

Investors like Yao Yuan are absolutely rare. These are the real angels!

However, what Yao Yuan said next made Da Qiangzi fall into the ice cave instantly, and his whole body was chilled!

"My conditions are very simple. In the future, Jindong cannot adopt a VIE shareholding structure or play overseas holding tricks for the purpose of listing or tax avoidance!"

"Jindong's market is in China, and the holding company must also be in China. If it is to facilitate overseas listing, the holding company can be placed on Hong Kong Island."

"You can check my previous remarks about vie's equity structure online. I can't go back on my word and slap myself in the face!"

"Only if this prerequisite is met, I will invest $[-] million in your company!"

"what!"

With an exclamation, the big Qiangzi on the other end of the phone was completely stunned.
