Shenhao started as a military training anchor

At the end of today's meeting, the three hundred driver partners walked out of the venue smiling.

Yisu Travel will be a blockbuster when it starts to solve the housing and social security issues of drivers.

If it hits the deep water like an online ride-hailing service, it will probably kill a lot of fish and shrimps.

It will definitely disrupt the industry.

The impact on existing platforms has been huge. It is estimated that more than half of the small third-party service platforms will die. Those who want to enter this industry will also think carefully. The threshold is too high now, and it is not an era where just anyone can take a bite of the cake. .

After the meeting, Holly convened the group's board of directors again for a short meeting.

The housing and social security issues will be arranged and implemented quickly by each person in charge. We have also decided to launch the C round of strategic financing. We welcome all shareholders and capital markets who are members of the board of directors to participate.

At the beginning of the month, there was more than 20 billion in cash on the system's books. Holly spent 20 billion to join Shunwei Capital and Haikuo Investment to leverage the capital market and acquire Dior China for 100 billion.

The remaining cash is only more than one billion, and the system has increased it by more than one billion in the past two weeks. Adding in the fixed salary he received from several companies and the dividends in the first half of the year, he still has almost four billion in cash.

The scale of Yisu’s financing is huge, around 150 billion yuan.

More capital is needed to enter.

This financing is also the most important financing for Yisu Travel. After the financing is completed, the company will achieve a leap in various data such as valuation and market share.

It is estimated that the IPO will be launched before the D round or even before the D round, impacting the listing.

Holly personally will continue to use Rainbow Capital to provide blood transfusions to Yisu.

Currently, Jiangcheng has negotiated 30000 housing units worth about billion. Once this opportunity is opened, the plan to solve the housing problem of full-time drivers this year will be quickly rolled out.

Add in the insurance for 60,000 driver partners and it will be a huge expense.

In order to ensure the company's financial health, strategic financing was launched.

Holly treats these two issues as major strategic issues for the company's long-term development, not just to deal with opponents such as Didi and AutoNavi.

With his current voice and connections in the capital market, it is not difficult to raise 150 billion yuan in financing.

It can even be resolved with just a few phone calls.

Investors may not understand his approach, but Yisu, a cruise ship in the online ride-hailing market, is sailing at a high speed, and they cannot give up such a good investment opportunity.

Once the listing is successful, the return rate of several times or even dozens of times is too tempting.

After the meeting, CEO Zhao Dong finally followed Holly out.

Holly asked with concern: "Are you ready to say hello to the media?"

"Everything has been arranged, and we will make a big publicity when the employees take over the room." Zhao Dong responded.

Holly nodded: "I will take time to chat with investors in the past few days, and you can prepare relevant materials."

"Okay, Mr. Huo."

"This is a big and risky step. If we take it, the dominance of the online ride-hailing market will be in our hands." Holly smiled, "You lost the battle ten years ago, and we are together today. Win it back.”

Zhao Dongyou was encouraged.

Back then, he took Kuaidi hard to Didi, and finally left the scene in despair, which was painful in his heart.

Now with Yi Su's development momentum, he has a chance to stand up and step on Cheng Wei and Liu Qing.

"I'll hit wherever Mr. Huo points." Zhao Dong responded.

Holly smiled and nodded, walked into the elevator, and climbed to his CEO level.

Take a watering can and take care of your succulents.

Then sit on the sofa, enjoy a cup of coffee, and wait for the Internet to ferment.

The three hundred partner drivers who returned from the meeting today will convey the meeting content to the full-time drivers at each service station.

At about that time, the group's documents were also distributed.

The online ride-hailing market must be the busiest on major Internet social media tonight.

I made a call to several investors in the afternoon to talk about C financing.

The responses were all positive.

Zhong Yiwen at home sent a message to inform him to go back for dinner.

Holly went upstairs to take his personal business helicopter back to the manor.

After dinner, I pushed my daughter's stroller and took Barton and Xiao Hui for a walk in the yard.

Go back to the living room, turn on your phone and check the network hotspots.

As soon as I opened the short video platform, I saw the financial media reporting on Yisu Travel’s solution to drivers’ housing and social security issues.

The pornographic entry under the video has more than 70 million hits.

Scroll to multiple videos in a row.

"Damn it, it's true or false, this is impossible, right?"

"I feel like I'm trying to trick the driver."

“Do you still need me to tell you what an online ride-hailing platform or a food delivery platform is?”

"Fake news." "Yisu is charging money again? That's all its reports."

“Can the state control these marketing accounts?”

"This wave of marketing is well done."

"If it is true, I am willing to switch jobs to Yisu."

"Yisu has a good reputation. It's better than Xidi. But it's just too fake to solve housing problems. How much money will it cost?"

"I just saw the red-headed document, it seems to be real."

"I saw it too."

"..."

Netizens discussed it enthusiastically.

Their impression of Internet companies is not very good.

Especially industries such as Kuaidi, food delivery, and online ride-hailing.

Even if I see the red-headed document, I still don’t want to believe it.

I prefer to believe that Yi Su is just pretending temporarily to stabilize the situation against his opponent.

Maybe I'll buy some houses and forget about it.

Not only netizens, as the popularity fermented and discussions increased, friends and businessmen were also unwilling to believe it.

This morning, Didi CEO Cheng Wei was attending an Internet forum.

The reporter asked him questions about the housing and social security issues of online ride-hailing drivers.

Cheng Wei smiled and replied: “This is a common social problem.

What our companies can do is very limited.

But we have an unshirkable responsibility.

I admire Holly as a young entrepreneur very much. We have met many times and I understand his character and the things he has done.

But from a business perspective, I don’t think this is a good marketing tool. "

The reporter then asked: "So you think this is Yisu's marketing method and will not actually solve these problems?"

Cheng Wei smiled and spread his hands.

There was no answer, but the meaning was obvious.

Otherwise, what do you think?

I will definitely buy some houses as a gimmick, so as to attract more drivers and solve the problem of insufficient transportation capacity.

But he doesn't believe that Hawley will actually implement the so-called "100 billion plan" and "social security for all employees."

In other words, he will be cut in half directly.

Not to mention how much money he has to spend, he knows Internet entrepreneurs very well, and Huabing is the best in the industry.

Including Jack Ma before him, his skill in drawing cakes is also one of the best.

In his eyes, Holly's mouth is not inferior to that of Jack Ma back then.

The reporter then asked: "As far as we know, Didi now has 100 million full-time drivers. Has Mr. Cheng considered solving the corresponding problems for them?"

Cheng Wei nodded: "Didi has always been thinking about our drivers and trying to communicate with them and listen to their opinions.

How to achieve equal interests between the platform and the drivers is a question we have been thinking deeply about.

I believe Didi’s full-time driver benefits will get better and better. "

The reporter expressed helplessness.

Typical nonsense literature.

You said it but didn't say it.

I felt that there was no point in asking, as it was impossible to get any useful information from him.

Just when I was about to put down the phone and give the opportunity to ask questions to others, the assistant next to me handed over the phone and it was a piece of financial news.

The reporter's eyes suddenly lit up, he picked up the microphone again and said, "Sorry, Mr. Cheng, do I have another question to ask you?"

Cheng Wei didn't take it seriously. He was too skilled at dealing with reporters on such occasions.

He spread his hands and smiled and said, "Please speak."

The reporter looked at the news on his mobile phone and asked: "We have just received news that Didi's rival Yisu Travel has completed Series C financing.

The investment was led by Shunwei Capital, Rainbow Capital, and CITIC Capital, with participation from Tencent Holdings, Sequoia China, Changan Holdings, and Chery Holdings.

The financing scale reached 158 billion.

May I ask Mr. Cheng, what do you think of this matter? According to your analysis, why is Yisu launching such a large-scale financing at this time? "(End of chapter)
