Return to the countryside to engage in industry

Chapter 594 The Company's Problems

Zhang Yiming and Yu Weiqi have participated in countless dinners, especially those entrepreneurs who came to seek investment. They are very clear about the purpose of Yang Zhenyu bringing his beautiful secretary here today.

Although the purpose was relatively strong, the two just nodded at Zhou Siyuan with smiles on their faces, as if they were adding some variety and excitement to the dinner.

When the wine glass was full, Yang Zhenyu got up first to raise his glass and said, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Yu, I am indeed late today. I kept you guys waiting for a long time. I will punish myself with a drink."

Zhang Yiming nodded, and after Yang Zhenyu finished drinking, he smiled and said, "President Yang, do you have any other arrangements tonight?"

"No, the main purpose of coming to the capital this time is to meet Zhang Dong." Yang Zhenyu flattered.

Zhang Yiming said: "Let's eat slowly, not in a hurry."

"Listen to Zhang Dong!"

When the food was on the table, Zhang Yiming spoke, and everyone didn't have so many rules, so they picked up the bowls and chopsticks and started eating.

There was no serious talk at the dinner table, and they flattered each other, mainly talking about their entrepreneurial experience. Zhang Yiming was still willing to pass on his experience to Yang Zhenyu, a younger generation. I have seen Zhang Dong’s entrepreneurial experience on the media video account, and in such a difficult environment, ByteDance can achieve its current scale and market value, and I admire it from the bottom of my heart.”

He raised his glass casually.

Yu Weiqi followed Yang Zhenyu's words and said, "Mr. Yang is not bad either."

Zhang Yiming continued: "I heard Lao Yu tell your story, and I read some information on the Internet. Mr. Yang, to be honest, your business conditions are much worse than mine. Who would have thought that a poor Can the countryside cultivate an e-commerce unicorn?"

The words were full of appreciation.

Yang Zhenyu smiled and said: "Maybe this is fate, let us two generations of hard-working entrepreneurs get together and talk about the past."

Yu Wei wondered, "Cheers to Fate!"

"cheers!"

Shen Hua and Zhou Siyuan also toasted.

After drinking, Zhou Siyuan poured wine one by one.

Yu Weiqi took a bite of the dish and sighed, "Mr. Yang, to be honest, when you asked me for 5000 million, I was very hesitant, and finally asking you to release more shares is considered a gamble.

Who would have thought that there would be dozens of times the rate of return today?
Mr. Yang, Lao Luo really saw the right person. "

"Hahahaha, Lao Luo also mentioned at the Double Eleven celebration banquet that he would come out of the rivers and lakes again." Yang Zhenyu laughed.

Yu Weiqi excitedly said: "As long as Lao Luo speaks, I will definitely help him here."

Immediately looking at Zhang Yiming, Zhang Yiming said, "Lao Luo has a very good reputation in the industry. Among the entrepreneurs of the older generation, he is one of the entrepreneurs I admire the most. He is certainly worth investing in."

Yang Zhenyu echoed: "To tell you the truth, I also have the idea of ​​investing in Lao Luo."

The three looked at each other and smiled, raised their wine glasses and clinked.

This is the first time Yang Zhenyu has come into contact with Zhang Yiming, and he feels more friendly, without the cold feeling he received when seeking investment with Tencent. Of course, his height and identity are different now, more or less It will rarely affect the investor's attitude towards him.

The three of them chatted happily, and after finishing two bottles of Moutai, leftovers were left on the table.

Zhang Yiming glanced at his watch, "Mr. Yang, let's stop drinking for the time being. Let's talk about some serious business. If the discussion is over, Mr. Yang still has his nature, and Mr. Yu will arrange the next one."

Yang Zhenyu responded: "Okay, Director Zhang, I will follow your arrangement."

Zhang Yiming's administrative assistant notified: "Everyone, the tea is ready."

The three got up and went to the private room.

Yang Zhenyu gave Zhou Siyuan a look, "Wait for me in the lobby."

Zhou Siyuan nodded and went out the door towards the elevator.

Shen Hua followed Yang Zhenyu into the private room, Zhang Yiming stretched out his hand and said, "President Yang, please sit down."

"Director Zhang, Mr. Yu, please!"

"Please!"

Several people sat down and took a sip of tea.

Zhang Yiming leaned back on the sofa, and said to Yang Zhenyu with a smile on his flushed face, "Mr. Yang, the performance of the good store on Double Eleven this year is very impressive. Within the investment landscape, you know that e-commerce has always been a project that ByteDance wanted to do but failed to do well. We don't want to be someone else's tool man and use traffic to create blood for other platforms.

After this year’s Double Eleven, there will definitely be a good store in the domestic e-commerce field. I learned about your development plan for the good store from Mr. Yu. The road to listing is imminent. As an investor and the largest shareholder of the good store , ByteDance must spare no effort to support the listing of good stores. "

Yang Zhenyu smiled when he heard this, and it was almost the same as what Luo Yonghao guessed. The purpose of Zhang Yiming's invitation to dinner was for the listing of the good store. From Zhang Yiming's words, it can be heard that ByteDance's attitude is very clear, pushing the good store to go public .

Zhang Yiming went on to say: "ByteDance will give up its own e-commerce business and concentrate resources to help the store platform. The major strategic adjustments made by the board of directors are also based on your performance in the past year.

Mr. Yang, our attitude has already made it clear that if you have any requirements, you can raise them. "

Yang Zhenyu said bluntly: "I only have two requirements. One, to abide by the previously signed equity agreement. Within the company, I have a veto power."

"Of course, we abide by the spirit of the contract." Zhang Yiming said.

"Second, keep the equity of Pentium Agricultural Trade Co., Ltd., so that all villagers' shareholders can enjoy their due benefits." Yang Zhenyu said.

Before the end of the fourth round of financing, the shareholding ratio of Haodianjia will undergo earth-shaking changes. After the listing, the company’s internal equity will also change a lot. The shareholding of Pentium Agricultural Trade Company is likely to be diluted or acquired. In this way, Village shareholders cannot enjoy the benefits of the company.

Zhang Yiming understood the intention of Yang Zhenyu's request, nodded and said, "The country has mentioned common prosperity many times, and several Internet companies have also expressed their positions to invest in helping farmers. Festival Beat will also invest 1000 billion to help the development of the western countryside, and hope to have further cooperation with Pentium Agricultural Trade Co., Ltd."

Yang Zhenyu tried his best to hide his excitement, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your understanding."

Zhang Yiming looked at Shen Hua, "Mr. Shen used to be my old subordinate. Although the boss has changed now, we are still a family. If Mr. Shen has any ideas, you can bring them up."

Shen Hua said bluntly: "Mr. Yang, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Yu, I only have one suggestion, move the headquarters of good stores to first-tier cities."

Yang Zhenyu frowned and looked at Shen Hua.

Shen Huadao: "The predecessor of the Haodianjia platform is an e-commerce poverty alleviation platform. Its main service targets are local agricultural and sideline products, and it can work normally in villages and counties.

During the first half year of my entry into the Haodianjia platform, I found many shortcomings that small places cannot make up for.

For example, technical shortcomings, social resource shortcomings, preferential policies, talent bonuses... including the internal personnel structure of good stores, there are also big problems. These problems must be solved before listing, otherwise it will be very troublesome. "
