Winning the new financial era

Chapter 232
Zhang Yida, Huang Xiwen, and Li Chuan were discussing cooperation on the sidelines, and Guo Yisheng couldn't help but interjected: "Mr. Zhang, you sharpen the industrial investment fund, can Hong Leong Group also join?"

"All welcome!" Zhang Yida smiled, and added: "But our industry fund has a relatively long lock-up period, 5+2 years, and it may take up to 7 years to get the return."

Guo Yisheng nodded. He also went to business school, so he naturally knows the operation mode and deadline of industrial funds. Seven years is nothing more than normal.

"I will talk to my dad when I go home. If possible, Hong Leong Malaysia would also like to participate in one."

Guo Huiqi is not stupid. Seeing that several of them are clamoring to contribute to the Ruixiang Industrial Fund, she also thinks this is a good business, and she doesn't want to miss this opportunity, so she clamors to participate.

The difference is that the others are all around 30 years old, and they are basically in charge of the family business.

She is different. She is only 23 and four years old, and she has only graduated for less than two years. Basically, she can only participate in the relatively marginalized business of the family.

Plus, she's a girl again.In their family, although the usual food and clothing expenses are comparable to those of their elder brothers and younger brothers.But after all, she is a woman's generation, and those who want to marry off in the future cannot be such a big master.

"Okay, Ms. Guo will go home and discuss it with her parents. I am very much looking forward to cooperating with your family."

Looking into Zhang Yida's piercing eyes, Guo Huiqi quickly realized that this sentence meant "a double entendre".

In addition to industrial investment funds, it also refers to Jincheng Consumer Finance Company.

"Okay, I will reply to Mr. Zhang in time."

Li Hengbo, Chen Bingyao and others saw that Zhang Yida and the others were happily discussing in a small circle here, and they also gathered around.

"Big guy, what are you talking about here?"

"Let's also come to listen, and feel that there are some great commercial secrets."

Looking at a group of rich three generations who surrounded him tightly, Zhang Yida was a little bit dumbfounded, and said, "We are discussing the third phase of the cooperation with Ruixiang Industry Fund."

"The third phase of the industrial fund has been established, which is very efficient." Li Hengbo gave Zhang Yida a thumbs up.

"The second phase of the industry fund has already been completely spent. We have invested hundreds of millions of dollars of our own funds. There are companies in China, Japan, South Korea, India, and Southeast Asia."

Zhang Yida's words immediately aroused the curiosity of a group of rich three generations, and asked him to talk about which companies he invested in.

Zhang Yida gave a general overview of the companies he invested in, including name, industry, valuation growth rate, investment amount, future prospects... and many other aspects.

Many wealthy generations have heard of these companies, such as Grab, GoJek, and Lazada. They all praised Zhang Yida for his good vision and expressed their intention to participate in the investment.

Looking at a group of rich three generations who regard themselves as the God of Wealth, Zhang Yida said that anyone who participates in the investment is welcome, and added their contact information one by one, saying that he will send them a copy of the operation of the Ruixiang Industrial Fund for their reference in the future report.

After a banquet, Zhang Yida deservedly became the shining protagonist.

Zhang Yida also made good friends and met a group of Chinese plutocrats from Southeast Asian countries.

……

"Mr. Li, I have acquired a game company in South Korea. This company has developed a shooting game, which is expected to be launched within this year.

Are you interested in being an agent? "

In the Sea Group company, Zhang Yida began to promote the upcoming "PUBG Mobile" game after learning about the company's recent operating data and financial data.

"Huh? Are you still developing games?"

Li Xiaodong, the CEO of the Sea Group, was quite surprised, "Yaocao, you are a financial boss, what kind of game are you playing!"This is typical dishonesty!
"Haha!" Zhang Yida said with a smile, "I'm just trying to cross boundaries."

Although Li Xiaodong didn't think Zhang Yida, a rookie in the game industry, could come up with any awesome games, but considering that the other party is also a shareholder of Sea, he sold his face and nodded in agreement:

"Let's do this! When the game is developed, we'll send someone to Korea to test it, and if there's no problem, let's act as an agent!

However, Yida, let me tell you the ugly words first.In this game industry, it's normal for a game to hit the street, so don't take it too seriously.

With more experience in the future, the commercial success rate of the game will gradually increase. "

Zhang Yida couldn't laugh or cry, my game hasn't been released yet!You comfort me now.

When "PUBG Mobile" is officially launched, slaps in the face are very painful.

Zhang Yida didn't explain much, he still had to accept others' kindness, so he quickly thanked: "Then thank you, Brother Dong!"

"When is Sea considering going public?" Zhang Yida asked.

"Is it that impatient?" Li Xiaodong gave Zhang Yida a sidelong glance.

"What is impatient! Ruixiang is really short of money." Zhang Yida also joked along.

Li Xiaodong quickly stopped him, Ruixiang was short of money, and Sea should go bankrupt.

"You have raised 25 billion U.S. dollars. Even I heard it in Singapore, and I have to say awesome PLUS."

Li Xiaodong heaved a long sigh and said, "China is better! The population is large and the market is huge. Only in such an environment can a super unicorn like Rui Xiang be hatched!"

Zhang Yida saw him expressing his life emotions here, and said with a smile: "It's still cool for you, Sea, to use domestic models and employees to attack Southeast Asia.

In the entire Southeast Asian market, there is no one who can fight.

We are different. Leech Financial puts a lot of pressure on us. "

"You can't say that, Vietnam VNG Group puts us under a lot of pressure!" Li Xiaodong acted very modestly. Although he has become the leader of games in Southeast Asia, he has no arrogance.

"Oh, that old unicorn! It was established in 04 and started as an agent of Jinshan Games."

Zhang Yida sent someone to contact VNG Group, but unexpectedly rejected Ruixiang's investment intention, which made Zhang Yida very upset.

As if seeing through Zhang Yida's thoughts, Li Xiaodong smiled and said, "Have you ever approached them to invest? Let me tell you, don't think about it. They started making profits in 2013."

Zhang Yida smiled, but didn't answer. VNG Group has monopolized multiple subdivided Internet fields in Vietnam. It is known as "Vietnamese Little Penguin", which is weaker than Sea's "Southeast Asian Little Penguin", but it is also very powerful.

Zhang Yida now wants to find an entry point to enter Vietnam's Internet financial market. VNG is a good entry point, but he is unwilling to accept investment.

This puts Zhang Yida in a difficult situation.You can only find another entry point.

……

"Mr. Bitney, long time no see."

In Lazada's office, Zhang Yida shook hands with its CEO, Maximilian Bitney, and greeted each other.

"Mr. Zhang, see you again, you are already the chairman of a super unicorn company and a listed company.

And your Musical.ly, Green scooter, is also a great company.

What a remarkable achievement. I dare say that Xiao Mazi couldn't compare to you when he was your age. "

Bitnei threw all kinds of compliments at Zhang Yida's head as if he didn't need money, which made Zhang Yida laugh out loud.

After a few simple chats, we quickly got to the point.Bitney said: "Mr. Zhang, what do you think of the e-commerce market in Southeast Asia?"

"It's almost the same as when our country was in [-], when the heroes Zhuolu and the princes fought for hegemony."

Bitney nodded, expressing his agreement with Zhang Yida's statement.He continued: "Shope under Sea is competing with us in Singapore, and Tokopedia and Bukalapak are competing with us in Indonesia..."

Bitnei kept listing the competitors he met in various countries in Southeast Asia. Zhang Yida frowned more and more. Is it as serious as you said?It sounds like the whole world is against you.

"Having said so much, I just want to express one meaning. If we come to Zanda to win the final victory, we need to continuously invest a lot of money.

In 2014 we lost $1.5 million and in 2015 we lost $2.1 million. "

Zhang Yida interrupted the chattering Bitnei, looked at the latter firmly, and said, "Mr. Bitnei, we have confidence in your management team, and we will definitely be able to win this e-commerce battle.

Speak!How much do you need to raise? "

Bitney smiled "hehe", pointed three fingers at Zhang Yida, and said, "3 million euros!"

Zhang Yida drank the coffee on the table, looked at Bitnei for a long time, and then asked, "What about the valuation?"

"15 billion euros before investment!"

Zhang Yida shook his head and said, "It's too high! I can't afford the money."

Bitney quickly explained: "Mr. Zhang, this is not high at all. Compared with the more than 12 billion euros you invested a few months ago, the valuation has only increased by more than 2 million euros."

Zhang Yida knew that Laizanda was short of money. At this time, could he not take advantage of the situation and rob him?
So he sighed, and said, "Your losses are too great. You have lost 3.6 million US dollars in two years. Ordinary companies can't afford you!"

Bitney flattered: "Ruixiang is different! Ruixiang is a super unicorn holding billions of dollars in cash, and your fingertips are enough for us to operate Zanda for several years."

Zhang Yida smiled coldly in his heart, you also have today, I added 2 million euros to my investment last time, this time I must make it up to me.

"Hey, Ruixiang also needs to expand its business and lay out the upstream and downstream industrial chain. For the e-commerce field, we can only call it financial investment.

In principle, the investment amount should not exceed USD 1 million.

3 million euros is equivalent to 3.3 million US dollars. The amount is too large, and our board of directors will not agree. "

Looking at the embarrassed Zhang Yida, Bit's heart sank. The funds in Lazada's account were already less than 2 million U.S. dollars. If this loss continues, the funds may dry up after another six months.

He asked the German parent company for instructions, but the parent company was unwilling to invest any more, and asked him to find venture capital to solve the funding problem, or simply sell the company.

Not reconciled, Bitney found investors from the previous rounds. Everyone frowned when they read Lazada's financial report, and when they heard the valuation, there was nothing to say.

Therefore, Zhang Yida, who came from afar, became Lazada's only life-saving straw.

Now that the life-saving straw is unwilling to increase investment, Bitney's heart is shaken for the first time, and he considers whether to persist.

He thought to himself, if there is really no way out, then he might as well sell the company!
