My rebirth is different

Chapter 646 The Last Piece of the Puzzle

"Pei'er, you go to dinner with me tonight."

When he was about to leave work, Yu Wenfei pushed open the office door and said to the secretary's room.

Pei Er quickly got up and agreed.

Hu Jingjing was a little unhappy, she quickly asked: "Boss, do you need me to go with you?"

Yu Wenfei was about to turn around and go back to the office when he heard Hu Jingjing's words and replied without thinking: "No need."

Seeing Yu Wenfei walking in, Hu Jingjing bit her lip lightly, her almond eyes widened.

Since this Pei'er came, his status has plummeted. Now Yu Wenfei doesn't bring himself to participate in many activities, and brings Pei'er instead!

But I also blame myself, I have to go back to school every now and then, after all, I am still a college student.

It didn't matter before, but now Hu Jingjing has a sense of crisis, the pressure of competition is too great.

Working together every day, she admires Peier a little now. She does things neatly, works efficiently, and understands everything!
In contrast, I am completely an amateur player.

Don't talk about comparing with Pei'er, just comparing with Ji Xiaoyu's new secretaries, they can't compare...

…………

Yu Wenfei didn't think too much about it. The reason why he took Pei'er there was because the person he was going to meet tonight had something to do with Pei'er.

Shen Nanpeng graduated from Jiaotong University, and then went to the United States to study abroad. He successively studied the Department of Mathematics of Columbia University and the MBA of Yale.

Speaking of which, he and Pei'er are still brothers and sisters!

The reason why I have a relationship with Citigroup is because Shen Nanpeng joined Citigroup Investment Bank after graduating from Yale, so I am very familiar with the people at Citigroup.

This time, he connected with Yu Wenfei through Citigroup's relationship.

The world is big, but the real top circle is very small, and everyone can get in touch by going around.

…………

At six o'clock in the evening, a big red Ferrari stopped at the gate of the Peace Hotel.

The car door opened, Yu Wenfei got out of the car directly, threw the car key to the parking attendant, and walked into the hotel gate with Pei'er.

Senior brother Shen Nanpeng had already reserved a box in the Dragon and Phoenix Hall, and was waiting for Yu Wenfei's arrival in the box at this time.

Under the leadership of the waiter, he pushed open the antique door of the No. [-] box.

"Mr. Shen, the guests have arrived." The waiter said respectfully.

In the huge private room, there was only one middle-aged man inside. He heard the sound and greeted him, "Haha, welcome to Mr. Fei."

Shen Nanpeng is in his 30s, tall and personable, wearing a pair of frameless short-sighted glasses.

"Senior Brother Shen, I've heard you famous for a long time." Yu Wenfei also greeted with a smile.

The two shook hands tightly, and Yu Wenfei introduced again: "This is my secretary Pei'er, she can also be regarded as your junior brother."

Shen Nanpeng asked in surprise, "Oh? Peer? Did you graduate from Columbia or Yale?"

Obviously, Peier is a foreigner, so it is impossible for her to be a graduate of Jiaotong University, so she can only be Columbia University or Yale.

Pei'er smiled and said, "Hello, Senior Brother Shen, I graduated from Yale Law School."

"The top students in the law school are not bad!" Shen Nanpeng praised, Yale's law school is the most famous, and the top students deserve it.

After getting to know each other, the three sat down.

Shen Nanpeng told the waiter to start serving the dishes.

In this kind of dinner, no one cares what to eat, the key is what to talk about.

Yu Wenfei picked up the topic first and said, "I heard that Senior Brother Shen's Ctrip will be listed at the end of the year, congratulations."

Ordinarily, the listing of the company is a great joy, because it means that the founder will get rich. Judging from the current performance of Ctrip.com, the market value can easily reach more than 50 billion US dollars after listing, and Shen Nanpeng's net worth will also be several Hundreds of millions of dollars.

Ctrip has raised several rounds of financing successively. Although Yu Wenfei has not had a deep understanding of it, he can guess that Shen Nanpeng's shares will not be too many, not to mention that he is only one of the founders.

There was no smile on Shen Nanpeng's face. Instead, he sighed and said, "Maybe I will leave after Ctrip goes public."

"Ah? Senior brother Shen is the founder, chairman and CEO of Ctrip. How could you leave?" Yu Wenfei said in surprise.

"There is no complicated reason, it's just my personal thoughts. Apart from the capital, the other shareholders of Ctrip are my good friends and brothers. When we started a business together, we were full of passion, but the company went public. Finally, I don’t want to cause my friends to turn against each other because of profit. Besides, Ctrip’s upper limit is there. Being able to operate this company until it goes public is considered to have reached its peak, and it’s time for me to retire bravely and do something else.”

Shen Nanpeng's words contained many meanings.

But there are two points, Yu Wenfei has made it very clear.

First, there are problems among the founders of Ctrip, most of which are conflicts of interest. It is no wonder that when faced with huge wealth, there are many cases of brothers turning against each other.

Second, Shen Nanpeng wants to quit Ctrip and do other things. Most of this matter has something to do with him...

His mind was spinning rapidly, recalling Shen Nanpeng's development track in his dream.

This is a big celebrity, there have been many reports about his resume, and Yu Wenfei has worked closely with him, so he also knows about it.

If it wasn't for his appearance, then Shen Nanpeng would have quit Ctrip completely and resigned from all positions one year after Ctrip went public.Of course, he should have also received a large amount of cash, because he turned around and joined forces with Sequoia Capital to create the Sequoia Capital China Fund.

And I didn't join as a part-time worker, but directly as a global partner. Obviously, I entered with a lot of money.

The appearance of Yu Wenfei now indirectly changed Shen Nanpeng's fate, because now that Ctrip has not yet been listed, Shen Nanpeng is already looking for a way out.

But well...

This old senior is also a generation with extraordinary ability, and it is too inferior to stay with Ctrip all the time. If he can really cooperate with him, it is indeed a great thing.

Yu Wenfei is not short of money, nor is he short of middle and low-level employees, what he is short of is elite executives!
Even, it is a top talent at the partner level!

Thinking of this, Yu Wenfei showed a smile on his face, and he said sincerely: "I don't know if there is anything I can help, Senior Brother Shen just ask."

Shen Nanpeng also laughed, and he said, "I heard that you have a new project, Junior Brother, that is WeChat, and are you raising funds recently?"

Yu Wenfei understood, it turned out that Shen Nanpeng's purpose was WeChat!
Sure enough, good eyesight!
It is no loss that later generations are known as the "Godfather of Investment", and the media dubbed "China Investment No. 1" and "Forbes World's Best Venture Capitalist" and other titles.

"Senior Shen, the valuation of WeChat is not low..." Yu Wenfei said meaningfully.

He doubted whether Shen Nanpeng would be able to spend so much money. Wechat was valued at 50 billion US dollars, even if it was 5000% of the shares, it would cost [-] million US dollars.

What's more, although WeChat is in the A round of financing, WeChat is not short of money, and those who can get admission tickets are powerful investment banks, or shareholders who are important to the WeChat project.

The introduction of too weak shareholders will not be considered.

After all, Shen Nanpeng's Ctrip hasn't been listed yet. Where did he get so much money?

"Don't worry about the money. If Mr. Fei asks me to enter the market, there should still be 1000 million shares in the financing gap of WeChat. I'll pay [-] million US dollars!" Shen Nanpeng stared at Yu Wenfei with piercing eyes, without hesitation Said.

This surprised Yu Wenfei, where did Shen Nanpeng have the confidence?
"Senior, are you representing an investment bank or a personal investment?" He asked tentatively.

"It does not represent any investment bank, it is purely personal investment! I know you are worried about my source of funds, don't worry, I have also worked in Citigroup for many years in investment banking, and I am quite familiar with financial operations. Although Ctrip has not yet been listed, My shares cannot be cashed out, but...with my relationship with Citigroup and Deutsche Bank, I can mortgage a large amount of money!" Shen Nanpeng readily revealed his cards.

It turned out that he was going to mortgage his shares in Ctrip. It seemed that Shen Nanpeng had made up his mind to leave Ctrip.

Share mortgage is also a common financial operation method, and many capital masters use this method to perfection.

There are also many such entrepreneurs in China, such as the famous Jobs!
He directly cashed out tens of billions of cash through the pledge of shares. Of course, he also made those banks miserable.

Shen Nanpeng has a deep relationship with Citibank and Deutsche Bank, and Ctrip is indeed a high-quality company. The "Internet + mouse" model was first proposed by Ctrip, which is actually the so-called "Internet +" concept in later generations.

The funding problem has been resolved, and the question now is whether Yu Wenfei should introduce such an investor.

Yu Wenfei picked up the chopsticks unhurriedly, picked up a shrimp ball, put it into his mouth and chewed slowly, thinking quickly.

Originally, he planned to introduce another big investment bank like Sequoia Capital, IDG, and even Temasek, but now the situation has changed, and Shen Nanpeng himself sent it to the door.

Seeing that Yu Wenfei didn't speak, Shen Nanpeng felt a little nervous.

He has studied Yu Wenfei and the Facebook family for a long time, and he has read all kinds of information, and he doesn't know how much there is.

In the end, it was judged that if there will be an "oligarchic enterprise" in the domestic Internet field in the future, it will be the Facebook family!

Facebook and Facebook Games, these two companies have already formed a trend, and Shen Nanpeng has no chance to become a shareholder. If he joins as an executive, he will not be reconciled.

The launch of WeChat opened his eyes, and he felt that his opportunity had come!
Especially when he learned from an old friend of Citigroup that WeChat was raising funds, and Citigroup did not plan to follow suit because of its own investment philosophy, Shen Nanpeng was ecstatic!

This is definitely the best opportunity God bestowed on him. For this reason, he did not hesitate to give up Ctrip, which is about to go public, negotiated with Citigroup, pledged all the shares in his hand, and put all his eggs in one basket to win the opportunity to become a shareholder of WeChat!

Now, it depends on whether Yu Wenfei nods...
