I Won a Prize of 100 Million at the Beginning, and I Became a Capital Boss

Chapter 188 The first unicorn company in the slope system!

NO.18 In the morning, Zheng Wentong came to Slope Investment, and Cheng Liyuan was tidying up the desk in the president's office, "Mr. Zheng, good morning."

Zheng Wentong, who was in a happy mood, rarely paid attention to Cheng Liyuan's clothes.A simple glossy satin apricot shirt is paired with a brown straight skirt and silver high-heeled shoes. The color gradient is soft and coordinated, which looks elegant and intellectual.

Zheng Wentong took the freshly ground coffee handed over by Cheng Liyuan, "Is there any special significance to be dressed up today?"

Cheng Liyuan smiled slightly, "Mr. Zheng, we are going to Weikexinke in the afternoon to hold an investor meeting. Aren't you here to finalize the A round of financing for Weikexinke?"

"Hey, there are a lot of things these two days, I almost forgot, right at two o'clock in the afternoon?" Zheng Wentong asked.

"That's right, Weike Xinke has set up a meeting room on the fourth floor. I have notified the administration yesterday to ask the employees to vacate the downstairs parking space for the investors who are visiting today." Cheng Liyuan began to report to work.

"Very good. Ever since Interconnect completed the B round of financing, Brother Xiong has been urging me to complete Weike Xinke's A round of financing as soon as possible. Now that the Xiaopin business has also been launched, there is no need to procrastinate." Zheng Wentong thinks Weike Xinke The time for the A round of financing is ripe, so it is not ready to continue to procrastinate.

"Mr. Zheng, why is Pinduoduo's version of Huabei named Xiaopin? Instead of Pinduan or something like that?" Cheng Liyuan asked.

"Shopping, as the name suggests, is Shopping, which allows you to buy, buy, buy. If you do small shopping, you buy a little, and you shop without knowing it. Over time, the accumulation of small things becomes more." Zheng Wentong explained.

"Xiaopin, shopping", Cheng Liyuan read it again, and found it very interesting, "I have seen a group photo of Yang Zi and Xiaolu playing in Aden on Weitoutiao, and the National Day holiday is coming. The scenery is very beautiful and the pace of life is also very slow. Uncle Ang Wang has become a big internet celebrity on Wei Toutiao." Cheng Liyuan said.

Zheng Wentong actually intends to create a Ding Zhen, but Uncle Angwang seems not interested in signing with MCN. In the words of Uncle Angwang, he actually likes to post pictures, texts and short videos on Weitoutiao and Weiyin. It was a surprise to be selected for the Spring Sprout Project.

If for the sake of money, let the company package him and promote him, then Uncle Angwang will feel unreal, not being himself.He has to consider the number of clicks, how many new fans he has, and how to monetize the number of fans. Then he will become a slave to money. He may become richer, but he will definitely not be as happy as he is now.

Uncle Angwang's realm makes Zheng Wentong feel ashamed. As the company grows bigger and bigger, the increase in personal wealth does not make him feel happy.Just like his girlfriend commented, he seems to be getting more and more aura, and he is getting harder and harder to get close to. Except for people who are very close, he doesn't even have a joker.Because of various compromises and exchanges in political and business relations, he has been contaminated with all kinds of gray atmosphere, just like others judged him, he is becoming more and more like a capitalist.

Fortunately, the attitudes of his parents and Bai Xiaolu towards him remained unchanged, which helped him alleviate the feeling of loneliness that he felt at a high place.Zheng Wentong took out his mobile phone, looked at the group photo of his girlfriend with Yang Zi and Hehe, gave her a thumbs up, and started working in the morning.

The two most important tasks for him are to look at the reports of various subsidiaries and the project proposals handed over by each company, seeking investment from slope industry funds or slope investments.90% of these project proposals have been screened out by the equity investment department in advance, but Zheng Wentong still has to read dozens of proposals every day.

Zheng Wentong will synthesize his memory, first check whether the names of the apps launched by these companies are familiar, and then look at the brand names.If Zheng Wentong has heard of this APP or the brand name, then it will be handed over to the equity investment department, who will judge whether there is investment value, and finally Zheng Wentong will decide whether to contact the other team.

At 45:[-] p.m., Zheng Wentong and his entourage arrived at the office building of Weike Xinke on time.Wang Zhiliang, technical director of Weike Xinke, Zhong Yiqi, financial director, Yang Ji, head of Weidu team, and Jiang Cha, literary director and editor-in-chief, all came to the venue.

They all know that today is a big day for Weikexinke. Zheng Wentong has notified them in advance. How much is the equity worth.

There are quite a lot of investment institutions here today, such as IDG Capital, Sequoia Huaxia, Ali, Moliang Capital, Puhai International Investment, CCB International, Haitong Kaiyuan, Venus Venture Capital, etc. Principal Wang’s Pusi Investment is actually ranked Not on the number.

Shen Nanpeng from Sequoia Huaxia did not come, but Zhou Kui, a senior partner, came. Xiong Xiaoge from IDG Capital is still the biggest investor among the many investors.

Zheng Wentong greeted Xiong Xiaoge first, and Xiong Xiaoge looked at Cheng Liyuan behind Zheng Wentong, "Let's not talk about anything else, I envy my brother's good fortune. The recruited Assistant Xu and Secretary Cheng are capable at work, outstanding in appearance, and understanding."

"Clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as old. I am nostalgic. Considering that Brother Xiong and I have been working together happily, Wei Kexinke needs financing here, and I thought of you at the first time. The slope is the relationship between each subsidiary of IDG Capital. Everyone is welcome to join." Zheng Wentong said.

"What you say is not credible at all. Last year, China Intercom's B round of financing was almost cheated by you. As soon as China Intercom got the money, you are ready to promote the merger of Master WIFI and Master Key."

"If you really consider the relationship between our two brothers, then you let us IDG Capital invest first today, and then introduce Sequoia Huaxia and Ari. Our IDG Capital has long been optimistic about the Pinduoduo project, but the result is A The round of financing was still snatched by you, so you just say how to make up for our losses?" Xiong Xiaoge used his seniority to cheat.

"How about this, Brother Xiong, we at Weike Xinke can sell up to 19.9% ​​of the equity, and the company's valuation is 10 billion US dollars. If you agree to pay tomorrow, I will risk offending investors now. How are you guys going back to your homes?" Zheng Wentong said.

"A billion dollars? Why don't you just grab money?" Xiong Xiaoge certainly didn't want to. Before New Year's Day last year, Zheng Wentong and Xiong Xiaoge also discussed the financing of Weike Xinke. The company's valuation was between 10 billion and 25 billion. In five months, the valuation of Weike Xinke has more than doubled. How could Xiong Xiaoge agree?

If IDG Capital agrees to a valuation of 10 billion US dollars to help Weike Xinke complete the A round of financing, then Weike Xinke will immediately become a unicorn company in the Chinese Internet industry, and the listed market value will start at least 10 billion US dollars. After all, the A round The valuation is as high as [-] billion US dollars!
"Brother Xiong, look, the opportunity has already been given to you. You can't blame me if you can't grasp it here. We are screening partners at the investor meeting held by Weike Xinke today. I think Weke Xinke is already a leader in the Internet industry. Once a unicorn company is established, its valuation should not be lower than US$10 billion.” Zheng Wentong said.

Xiong Xiaoge looked at Zheng Wentong suspiciously, seeing that he didn't seem to be joking. He knew that Zheng Wentong might have some trump cards that he didn't throw out, and he was afraid that Zheng Wentong was cheating on him. There are many examples of investment institutions defrauding money. For example, LeTV's famous accountant Jia is very good at drawing cakes.

After Zheng Wentong and Xiong Xiaoge had a brief chat, they greeted Cheng Liyuan and representatives of other investment institutions one by one, focusing on Hu Zemin from Magic Capital. Together they co-founded Magic Capital.

Zheng Wentong stepped onto the rostrum, "Good afternoon, all investors representatives. I am Zheng Wentong from Weike Xinke. I am very happy to be able to gather with you today. Before the investor meeting, I would like to announce one thing."

"The Slope Foundation, the major shareholder of Weikexinke, has reached an agreement with me personally to transfer 20% of the shares held by them in Weikexinke to me personally, on the condition that I will personally donate 10 billion yuan to the Slope Foundation in the next three years It is used to support public welfare undertakings." Zheng Wentong was a big news when he came up.

Xiong Xiaoge knew that it was broken. Slope Investment originally had two shareholders, Zheng Wentong and Slope Foundation.Slope Investment holds 100% equity of Weike Xinke. Since Zheng Wentong agreed to donate RMB 10 billion to the Slope Foundation in exchange for 20% of Weke Xinke’s equity, Zheng Wentong’s valuation of Weike Xinke is expected to be no less than 50 billion yuan. Otherwise, wouldn't he want to lose money and make money?
Cheng Liyuan looked at Zheng Wentong on the stage. She also just heard about Zheng Wentong's decision to donate 10 billion yuan for public welfare. She couldn't help but wonder how many zeros a billion yuan is.

The expressions of the investor representatives in the audience were different, but the fact that Weike Xinke’s equity could be concentrated in the hands of Zheng Wentong alone also meant that their negotiating partner became Zheng Wentong alone. We can talk down.

Weike Xinke currently has three APPs: Weitoutiao, Weiyin and Weidu.With the help of the Spring Miao Project, Wei Toutiao has more than 2 million registered users and more than 4000 million monthly active users.

As a short video application, Weiyin is also developing rapidly, with more than 6000 million registered users and more than 1000 million monthly active users.Weidu has become the second largest online literature app after a certain point, with more than 2000 million registered users.

"I know that you will refer to ByteDance, our competitor in the market, when evaluating Weike Xinke's valuation. Sequoia Huaxia participated in Byte's C round of financing. I remember that in June 14, Byte sold 6% Equity, the company is valued at US$20 million. I remember that the number of users of Toutiao was around 5 million at that time, which was similar to the data of our Wei Toutiao in December last year.” Zheng Wentong said.

"In mid-May, the number of users of our Wei Toutiao exceeded 2 million, and my valuation of Weike Xinke is expected to be no less than 10 billion US dollars, and a maximum of 20% of the equity will be sold." Zheng Wentong said.

On the PPT behind Zheng Wentong is a histogram of the monthly growth of the number of users of Weitoutiao, Weiyin and Weidu, which are clear at a glance.

Zhou Kui, a senior partner of Sequoia Huaxia, said to Zheng Wentong, "Mr. Zheng, doubling the number of users does not mean doubling the valuation. In June 14, Toutiao had 6 million users. The number of 9000 million users is low. After all, it was only in 2 that 14G networks began to be popularized on a large scale. In the past, the number of users exceeded 4 million. Now there are not a few apps with more than [-] million users.”

今日头条创立于12年3月，两年多才拥有上亿用户，14年才开始大规模普及4G网络的商用。所以周魁说今日头条的9000万用户数，不亚于2亿微头条的用户数的含金量倒也没错。
