Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 25 A Dark Horse

"It's still early, let's find a scenic spot to visit."

After leaving the Anjia Tianxia store, Jiang Chen said to Wu Shiyi.

"Which scenic spot does Mr. Jiang want to go to?" Wu Shiyi asked while starting the car.

"casual."

Jiang Chen has never been to Yanjing in his past and present lives. Although he is very curious about Yanjing, he doesn't know where to go.

Wu Shishi turned on the navigation and brought Jiang Chen to a nearby scenic spot.

After strolling around the scenic spot for two hours, Jiang Chen and the two returned to the hotel.

"Mr. Jiang, this is a document sent by Didi Chuxing. It is the list of capital that will participate in the financing the day after tomorrow." Nie Xingchen handed a piece of information to Jiang Chen.

"Mr. Cheng sent it?"

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "It seems that Mr. Cheng's plan is very shrewd."

Previously, Didi Dache’s A-round financing was GSR Venture Capital’s US$300 million, B-round financing: Tencent’s US$1500 million, C-round financing: CITIC’s US$6000 million and Tencent’s US$3000 million.

Now the D round of financing, if you want to raise more funds, the best way is to let the capital parties participating in the financing compete with each other.

Now this list is for this purpose.

"Mr. Jiang, this is also a good thing."

Nie Xingchen said: "Compared with other capitals, our Star Investment is just fledgling, and our competitiveness is much lower than them. If we can succeed in the D round financing of Didi Taxi, it will be regarded as a start for us. Fame."

Before Jiang Chen and Wu Shiyi came back, Nie Xingchen had already studied these capital sources.

Nie Xingchen feels suffocated by several capital parties such as Temasek, DST, Tencent, and Softbank.

"Then what do you think is the valuation of this D round of financing?" Jiang Chen asked.

Nie Xingchen asked: "According to the previous situation of Didi Taxi, the valuation of this financing is about [-] billion US dollars."

"Mr. Jiang, I think what Secretary Nie said is right." Yu Qingqing also said: "Although Didi Taxi has surpassed Kuaidi, in terms of market share, Didi Taxi is now on par with Kuaidi."

"Fast?"

Jiang Chen frowned.

In his previous life, he remembered that after Didi Dache’s D round of financing, Didi Dache and Kuaidi conducted a strategic merger within two months. At the same time, shortly after Didi Dache’s D round of financing, Kuaidi Dache completed a new round The total financing of 6 million US dollars was led by Softbank Group, and Alibaba Group and Tiger Global Fund also participated in the investment.

Now in the world of film and television fusion, it may be different from the previous life, but it may not be a reference.

"How about this, Secretary Nie, you collect Kuaidi's information these two days." Jiang Chen thought for a while and said, "Also, find a way to get in touch with Kuaidi's shareholders and see if it is possible to buy some Kuaidi from them." shares."

"Okay." Nie Xingchen nodded.

Two days later, Jiang Chen brought the three girls to the twentieth floor of the Shangri-La Hotel.

Didi Taxi’s D round of financing was held here.

When Jiang Chen and the others arrived, many capital parties had already arrived.

Because no one knew these capitalists, so after Jiang Chen and the others arrived, they found a corner and sat down.

"Mr. Jiang, over there is the representative of Temasek. Over there is the representative of DST. Over there is the representative of Tencent... Next to them is the representative of Softbank..." Nie Xingchen had investigated the relevant information before, so after sitting down, she said Introduced to Jiang Chen.

Famous names like Shen Nanpeng of Sequoia Capital.

Boss Xiong of IDG Capital.

Sina's Cao Guowei.

Wang Qiong of Heiner Asia

Mr. Li, invested by Tencent.

Cao Yi from Source Code also came, Guo Shengguo from China International Capital Fund also came, and Yu Jianlin from China Securities Investment also came.

In addition, there are Li Kaifu from Sinovation Ventures, Bao Fan from Huaxing Capital, Xiao Min from Dachen Venture Capital, Li Yuanzhu from Inno Angel Fund, and Zhang Ying from Matrix Partners. These are all quite prominent figures in the investment circle. ,

In the next hour, all the capital parties who participated in Didi Taxi's D round of financing will arrive.

This comprehensive and luxurious venue is divided into five or six circles with different numbers of people. The big guys are consciously guarding their own one-acre three-point land, chatting with each other in their own circles and communicating with each other information known to each other.

Relatively speaking, Jiang Chen's Star Investment is a little transparent in the eyes of these investors.

Mr. Cheng from Didi Taxi came to the stage and introduced.

From the development of Didi Taxi to several rounds of financing.

From the prospect of Didi Taxi to market share.

What Mr. Cheng said was impassioned.

But few really listened to what he said, because before coming, these investors had already cleared up the investigation of Didi Taxi.

The final quotation was beyond everyone's expectations.

Didi Taxi’s D-round quotation is 40 billion US dollars. On this basis, Didi Taxi announced that it will issue [-] million additional shares in this round. Integrating various development requirements, it has obtained a huge financing of [-] million US dollars in one go.

This result was beyond the expectations of the media present. It was too high, but the capital bought it.

After this round of financing, Temasek, DST, and Star Investment entered the game.

Star Investment won an investment of [-] million US dollars and became famous in one fell swoop.

"Mr. Jiang, hello, I'm Shen Nanpeng from Sequoia Capital."

"Mr. Jiang, hello, I'm Wang Qiong from Haina Asia."

"Mr. Jiang, hello, I am..."

After the financing was over, those capitalists walked towards Jiang Chen one by one.

When Jiang Chen came in, many of them had already seen it. However, at that time, he thought that Jiang Chen was here to make soy sauce. Unexpectedly, he was so rich that he won a financing of [-] million US dollars.

Based on Didi Taxi’s valuation of US$40 billion, Star Investment owns [-]% of Didi Taxi’s shares.

It can be said that the current Star Investment is a dark horse in the investment world.

Jiang Chen knows that this reputation has both advantages and disadvantages. However, for Xingchen Investment, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

After dealing with these capitalists and having dinner with them, Jiang Chen and the others returned to the room.

"Secretary Nie, the Didi taxi service has been confirmed, and I will leave the rest of the procedures to you." Jiang Chen said to Nie Xingchen.

"Mr. Jiang, most of the company's funds are now in stock futures. If [-] million US dollars is to be transferred to Didi Taxi's account within a month, I'm afraid..." Nie Xingchen didn't go on when she said this, but her The meaning is already obvious.

[-] million U.S. dollars, almost [-] billion yuan.

Now the total assets invested by Xingchen are only three billion yuan.

"You don't need to worry about the funds, I have a solution. The prospect of Didi Taxi is very big. Even if the Lihui Building is mortgaged, I will take the shares of Didi Taxi this time."

Jiang Chen paused here, and said: "However, after this financing, I am afraid that many people will investigate our Star Investment, so I need you to do something."
