The Ten Years of Rebirth

Chapter 222 My roommate is actually a billionaire?
The food delivery platform Eat Me has a lot of potential. At present, it can be regarded as the most rapidly promoted and developed food delivery platform in China.

Once the A-round financing provided by Pei Qinglan is obtained, the expansion speed will increase again, quickly occupy the national university market, and then enter other markets at the right time. The scale in the future may be scary.

But this is still an ideal situation after all.

A large market means sufficient potential, but it also means that it is difficult for a single company to completely occupy most of the market share.

In this case, even if the early development of Eat Me is really good, it is hard to say that it will not encounter problems and strong competitors in the future.

Even if it is only a short ten or twenty years of domestic Internet development history, there are already enough bridges for latecomers to take the lead.

Not to mention the emerging field of Internet + food delivery.

Even if it seems that the food delivery service can provide enough jobs for the local area, at least for now it seems that there is no sign of it.

Therefore, Secretary Zhao is obviously far less interested in Wechat than in Wechat.

After all, compared to Eateway, which is still in its infancy, Weixin, which has grown to tens of millions of users, has obviously stronger potential and strength.

If WeChat can replace QQ and become a general-purpose social software in the mobile Internet era, or does not need to be replaced, it only needs to occupy more than one-third of the social user market share, which is enough to support the rise of an Internet giant.

The Shanghai stock market, as the largest city in domestic foreign trade and economics, has such a pivotal position in the national economy.

But also because of this, many times, when faced with some emerging things, especially emerging industries like the Internet, it is difficult to provide more support and convenience like other places.

As a result, the Shanghai stock market is what everyone wants, but most Internet companies prefer to place their headquarters in places that can provide more support.

Ali is a good example for Hangcheng.

But Qunxing is very different.

Compared with other Internet companies, the most different point of this company is that their cash flow is very healthy, their shareholding structure is single, and there is no external interference.

Even without the help of any local support, it can rely on itself to develop smoothly, and even the risk is much smaller than that of some traditional industries, and other Internet companies are even more incomparable.

Such a high-quality and extremely low-risk Internet start-up company, the identity and background of the founders are extremely clean.

If such a help object is not supported, it is really unjustifiable.

Among other things, if Qunxing Company is short of money now and goes to the bank to borrow a large amount of money, it will definitely be given a green light all the way without any hindrance.

"Our internal views on the stars and WeChat are relatively unified at present." Secretary Zhao sipped his wine glass, and he had no intention of hiding his private communication, "Some simple help is definitely no problem. Yes, the key is to see what else you need.”

"Secretary Zhao thinks, what else does WeChat need now?" Xu Xing didn't rush to make a request, but instead asked Secretary Zhao's opinion.

Secretary Zhao pondered for a moment, and without rushing to speak, he turned around and asked Pei Qinglan again: "You are a professional investor, do you have any opinions?"

Pei Qinglan suddenly laughed and shook her head. After thinking for a few seconds, she slowly said: "I don't know much about the specific situation of WeChat, but I am very clear about the development process of QQ. To put it bluntly, users are everything."

"Especially for a social communication software, getting more people to use and get used to it is the fundamental driving force for its continued operation."

"So in the final analysis, the most important thing that Weixin needs to do at present is the simplest thing, which is to expand the scale of users."

Secretary Zhao nodded unmoved: "It sounds like a commonplace question."

"The key lies in how to increase the number of users. In this regard, Xu Xing must know better than the two of us." Pei Qinglan thought for a while, and then continued to add, "But in this case, while WeChat is trying to expand, it is natural Also watch out for ambushes from competitors, black, white, and gray.”

Xu Xing smiled, and after talking about this topic, he looked at Secretary Zhao: "This is also one of the reasons why I came this time."

"If it's just a reasonable competition on the surface, I can actually handle it."

"However, Qunxing Company is still not very good at some confrontations deep under the water surface."

"I understand." Secretary Zhao nodded calmly, without making any promises, but simply said, "I will write this down."

Xu Xing didn't expect to solve this kind of problem with a single meal. The private meal was just a good start, and more in-depth cooperation would naturally require lengthy negotiations and public communication before it could be gradually achieved.

A meal is eaten from six o'clock in the evening until eight o'clock in the evening.

Secretary Zhao communicated with Xu Xing on a lot of issues. Although he didn't give too many specific guarantees, anyone who understands knows how great the benefits are.

Just the matter of the National University Seminar Summit that Secretary Zhao mentioned earlier can make it possible to eat a takeaway, drink a sip of soup, and even go to WeChat for a while.

In addition, including direct loans, tax incentives, office rental discounts, and various businesses that connect with the local area can receive certain support.

Although Secretary Zhao did not express clearly what he would provide from the beginning to the end, everyone already knew the actual situation and subsequent development.

Once it gets the support from the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the endorsement, Qunxing Company can be regarded as completely on the right track, and there is no need to worry about the shadows of swords and swords behind the scenes, and it is enough to compete and develop in a peaceful manner.

After sending away Secretary Zhao, the rest of the people did not leave in a hurry.

Pei Qinglan asked Yao Yuanyuan and Yan Chijiu to order some desserts, while she continued to communicate with Xu Xing about the takeaway financing.

Secretary Zhao was present earlier, so some things could not be said too bluntly.

Now that there were only the two of them left, Pei Qinglan stopped beating around the bush and asked straightforwardly, "How many shares do you plan to contribute this time?"

"10%." Xu Xing had planned it long ago, so there was no need to hide it. "The plan is 1500 million dollars."

When Pei Qinglan heard this number, she couldn't help but raise her brows, and immediately said with a smile: "You have quite a big appetite."

You know, there are not even a million users of Eataway. If you count the expanded university market in Kyoto, there are probably more than [-] registered users.

This volume is indeed a little smaller.

In this case, 10% of the shares cost 1500 million US dollars, so isn't the overall valuation going to hundreds of millions of dollars?

Although the future potential of the food delivery industry is huge, the valuation of only [-] million US dollars may only be regarded as a piece of cake, but this is only the early A round of financing after all.

If Xu Xing hadn't had enough confidence in this project, he wouldn't have offered such a price.

"This is a food delivery platform supported by WeChat." Xu Xing said with a smile, "Boss Pei can imagine, where does Eatme expand, and where it can quickly connect with WeChat users, how amazing do you think the effect will be?"

"You're pretty good at drawing cakes." Pei Qinglan rolled his eyes at him. After all, everything Xu Xing said was based on the fact that WeChat will at least be able to compete with QQ in the future.

But even so, Pei Qinglan did not intend to give up this opportunity.

Half a year ago, Xu Xing's Tianshu studio was still a small ant with only tens of thousands of start-up funds.

Although Pei Qinglan had investment intentions at the beginning, it was only as a show of favor for Xu Xing.

It's just that she didn't expect that Xu Xing's growth rate would be so amazing.

And this opportunity now is the result of her many gestures of friendship.

Even if 1500 million US dollars seems expensive, but compared with the speed of the rise of Qunxing, it seems that it is not impossible to give it a try.

Especially now, What’s Eaten is not a grassroots team. After three months of development, the organizational structure has taken shape, and the operating model has gradually developed.

Unlike some other Internet projects, it may be just a concept or a preliminary product, which can fool investors into jumping in.

"However, for 1500 million US dollars, I'm afraid I'll have to raise it for a while, or find a partner I'm familiar with, and let me lead the investment and eat it together." Pei Qinglan said after consideration.

"No need to be so troublesome." Xu Xing shook his head and said, "How much can Boss Pei win alone?"

"About 1000 million?"

"That's fine." Xu Xing nodded indifferently, "The remaining five million dollars will be made up by Qunxing Investment."

Pei Qinglan shook her head and laughed: "You really know how to plan carefully."

Have you eaten? The takeaway company is an independent personal company of Xu Xing, and has no direct relationship with Qunxing Company in terms of equity.

If Qunxing Investment Management Co., Ltd. also participated in the A-round financing of Eat Me Waimai, then in fact, Pei Qinglan's final share would only be about 6% to 7%.

As an investment company, Pei Qinglan doesn't care, as long as she can guarantee that the valuation of Eat Me Takeaway will go up all the way, she will make money no matter what, it's just a matter of earning more and earning less.

If it is a high-quality investment object like Xu Xing, then it doesn't matter if you earn less.

Establishing a long-term cooperative relationship is what Pei Qinglan really cares about.

After all, he heard from his daughter that Xu Xing invested in nearly ten start-up teams during his trip to Kyoto during the National Day.

Among them, the most well-known one is naturally Didi Taxi, which has already gained a reputation in Kyoto.

Just this one project, if it can be implemented in the future, it will have the same potential as the food delivery industry.

If Pei Qinglan can also get involved in the next few rounds of financing, she may also get a lot of money.

However, many projects are not something you can invest in with money.

The importance of Xu Xing's relationship chain, at present, seems to be far more important than a single investment.

Pei Qinglan won't lose the big because of small things.

"this is delicious."

"Sister Yuanyuan, this is also delicious."

"Hey, if it's really 1500 US dollars to raise 10% of the shares in the end, just eat a food delivery company, Xu Xing will be worth a billion yuan." Yao Yuanyuan whispered to Yan Chijiu, while not forgetting to take care of Zhang Nong , and handed him a few desserts.

Zhang Nong was also very moved after hearing this. Although the money is not his, as long as the development of the food delivery is better, he will be closer to the goal of replacing his mother’s kidney. Even the desserts in his mouth are sweet. Tired.

But he's still a little confused right now.

In the past two hours, apart from what he said when he first introduced the situation of Eat Me's takeaway, Secretary Zhao, Pei Qinglan and Xu Xing basically talked with each other afterwards.

The others didn't interrupt and just ate in silence.

But when a few people chatted about WeChat, Zhang Nong's train of thought couldn't keep up.

Even a little downtime.

In his consciousness, Xu Xing is the boss of Eat Me, and perhaps it happened that he had a relationship with Qunxing Company, which allowed Eat Me to interact with WeChat and the hot news on it.

But it was impossible for him to predict in advance that Xu Xing was the boss of Qunxing Company himself!
If you want to say that Xu Xing is worth a billion dollars relying on Eat Me, Zhang Nong has witnessed the step-by-step development of Eat Me, so he can naturally accept this reality.

But you told him that even Qunxing Company is Xu Xing's own company?
If it weren't for the presence of people like Pei Qinglan and Secretary Zhao, Zhang Nong would have thought that Xu Xing was deliberately tricking him.

After a meal, he hardly found a chance to interrupt later, and he was ashamed to affect the rhythm of Xu Xing's business talks with people at such a critical moment.

So the doubts and shocks in his heart were deeply buried in his heart.

Until now, Secretary Zhao has left, and the conversation between Xu Xing and Pei Qinglan is coming to an end.

Yan Chi was so jealous that he didn't forget to pass the dessert to Xu Xing.

Zhang Nong watched this scene, until Pei Qinglan got up and took Yao Yuanyuan to leave together, he couldn't help but asked Xu Xing awkwardly: "Xu Xing."

"Ok?"

"That, Qunxing Company, is the company with WeChat...is...you started it?"

Bringing Zhang Nong over this time, Xu Xingben had no intention of continuing to hide from him, and nodded naturally: "Yes, Qunxing Company is also mine, and of course WeChat is also."

"The Fruit Assassin... and so many other games..." Zhang Nong also knows these things very well. After all, Lu Pengyou often plays Tianshu games with his mobile phone in his dormitory.

But when Xu Xing nodded with a smile again, Zhang Nong almost didn't hold back.

Outrageous!

This is outrageous!
He couldn't imagine that when he first started school, his roommate, who was reluctant to order meat dishes in the cafeteria like him, turned out to be the owner of a company with a valuation of tens of billions behind his back? !
"Since you already know it, it can be considered as joining our real team. The follow-up business related to university promotion is still left to you." Xu Xing said simply and directly, "In addition, my identity is still Hope you don't spread it in school."

"I know." Zhang Nong nodded seriously, his face became serious.

"Relax, relax." Xu Xing patted him on the shoulder, "It doesn't matter if you slip up, anyway, it will be exposed sooner or later."

With people behind him, the development of the company is further on the right track, and Xu Xing's inner structure has gradually adapted to his current identity.

Now once he is put under the spotlight, Xu Xing already has the confidence to face all this.
