Winning the new financial era

Chapter 490
After Tokopedia invested 8000 million US dollars in Sharp, it conducted two rounds of financing later, and Sharp’s shareholding ratio dropped from 10% to 7.13%.

Based on the current valuation of US$50 billion, this 7.13% stake is also worth US$3.565 million, which is more than four times the value of the investment.

Bukalapak conducted a round of financing after Yimin Wangjin invested US$1000 million, and Yimin Wangjin’s shareholding ratio dropped from 10% to 8.5%.

Based on a valuation of 10 billion, the value of 8.5 points of equity is 8500 million US dollars, an increase of 8.5 times compared to the investment.

The two companies are not small companies, and there are many things that need to be adjusted.

Zhang Yida simply asked Lan Lan to come over and stare at him. He wanted to go back to China to find money.

I came to Southeast Asia and spent billions of dollars, but there is no one left.

Certainly not all cash, a large part of which is in stock.

"Going home? Now?"

Lin Zhenyang, who is promoting the implementation of mobile payment in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and other places, was taken aback for a moment, and then asked Zhang Yida on the phone: "What happened? You are in such a hurry!"

Zhang Yida smiled, "It's nothing serious, but I want to push Ruixiang to merge with Zhonghe Group, and then start the countdown to listing!"

"Fuck, are you serious?"

Lin Zhenyang was really surprised. Zhang Yida didn't mention the listing, he almost forgot about it.

However, if it is merged with Zhonghe, it does not seem to have a particularly large additive effect.

"Of course I'm serious. Pinduoduo's GMV has exceeded 400 billion in a single month, and it may only take a year or two to reach a trillion GMV in a year.

Pinduoduo and Xiaohongshu are the basics for Ruixiang's mobile payment and consumer credit business.

Ahri and Penguin are now suppressing us more and more severely. Ruixiang and Zhonghe should combine their swords and share funds and technologies. "

Lin Zhenyang said with a smile: "Zhonghe spends so much money, it's because he likes Ruixiang's money bag, right?"

"Haha, I really can't hide it from you at all! But Zhonghe has also started to create its own blood, and the profit model of the three business lines of advertising, games, and live broadcasting has successfully run through."

Lin Zhenyang did not have much resistance to the merger with Zhonghe.After all, he can have today, but also thanks to Zhang Yida's support.

He once imagined the possibility of merging, including the outside world has been rumored.

But as time passed, Zhang Yida remained unmoved at all, letting others guess.

After that, there was no action, and everyone thought that there would be no merger.

Just when everyone thought it was impossible, Zhang Yida brought up the merger again.

"I don't have any opinions. If they are merged, everyone will share resources, including some overseas businesses and investment layouts, which can complement each other."

Zhang Yida felt very relieved to see Lin Zhenyang agreeing so readily.

Now the Zhonghe Group is almost a pauper, and the local rich man Ruixiang still has more than 100 billion US dollars in cash in his account.

Moreover, the Zhonghe Group opened fire on all sides and fought against major Internet companies. The situation is much more difficult than that of Ruixiang.

At such a time, Lin Zhenyang is willing to let Ruixiang bind Zhonghe, but it actually takes a lot of courage.

If it were a selfish person, he might not agree, and would probably use the word "drag" to delay the merger until Zhonghe is profitable.

Lin Zhenyang's character is still very good, otherwise Zhang Yida would not have asked him to start a business together.

After a few more instructions, Zhang Yida hung up the phone.

This decision is very important, he must first communicate with Lin Zhenyang.

After Lin Zhenyang's side is settled, the executive team and shareholders will follow.

Zhenke Fund and Blackshirt Capital were the first investment institutions, and Zhang Yida was the first to communicate with them.

Zhang Yida made an appointment with Shen Beipeng and Xu Xiaoming at Li Gong's house, and told them this idea.

"Really? Are you going to... merge?"

Xu Xiaoming was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

Now all the currency circles have been thrown out of the sky by him. He feels that he is witnessing his own investment myth, and a unicorn with a valuation of more than [-] billion US dollars is emerging from its cocoon.

And it is very likely that it will surpass Leech Financial Services and Uber and become the world's most highly valued unlisted company.

He Xu Xiaoming and Zhenke Fund, as the first investors and investment institutions who discovered Zhang Yida, will be famous all over the world.

He couldn't wait to welcome this moment. At that time, the media would definitely dig out the old accounts between him and Dongfang Yu, and start comparing the two of them.

When the time comes, step on Dongfang Yu hard for me!

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoming's whole body was in a trance.

Shen Beipeng's reaction was much better. Although he was a little shocked, he quickly calmed down.

"Why did you choose this time?"

Hearing Shen Beipeng's question, Xu Xiaoming also came out of his fantasy state. He was also very interested in Zhang Yida's sudden enlightenment.

It's not like he didn't mention it before: let Zhang Yida push Ruixiang and Zhonghe to merge!
But Zhang Yida didn't listen at all, and later he didn't bother to talk about it.

"We can't disperse our strength, the next battle with Ahri and Penguin is to be fought!"

Shen Beipeng nodded slightly, he guessed it was also the reason.

Since Penguin transferred its equity to Softbank and withdrew, Ruixiang and Zhonghe have completely gone against Penguin.

Coupled with a behemoth Ahri, any entrepreneur in China will feel terrified when faced with this situation.

"Is it going to be listed next?"

Zhang Yida felt that Shen Beipeng was really an old fox, so he glanced at the latter, who was looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Is it going to be listed? This year?"

Xu Xiaoming asked with a smile, he felt that the surprises Zhang Yida brought him today were bigger than each other!

I must drink two cups later, I haven't been this happy for at least ten years.

"If it goes public, Ruixiang's financial sector is mature, and the technology sector is still trying to catch up;

Zhonghe's e-commerce is still growing rapidly, the big entertainment sector has just started, and the short video advertising has not yet ushered in a big explosion, and it will continue to slow down. "

The fire that had just ignited in Xu Xiaoming's heart was extinguished by Zhang Yida's words.

The old man scratched his hair, trying to persuade Zhang Yida that he should go public this year!
After thinking about it, I still didn't say anything.Zhang Yida has always had his own opinions, and the decisions he made have not made mistakes, so it's better not to point fingers at him.

Shen Beipeng looked thoughtful, and finally said after a long time: "It's not a big problem, Penguin also puts its financial business in the listing system."

"Can you use the influence of Musical.ly to develop Ruixiang's financial technology business to EU countries? Or Latin America?
Let’s not think about it in the United States. Leech Financial Services wanted to acquire MoneyGram, but not only failed to acquire it, but also paid a termination fee of US$3000 million. "

Zhang Yida knew what Xu Xiaoping was talking about at the beginning of the year, and the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States rejected the transaction in the third round of review.

After the deal was announced, about 20 organizations and institutions wrote to US Treasury Secretary and Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, Stephen Nuchener, opposing the acquisition of MoneyGram by Leech Financial Services.

"There is no doubt that if China can dominate the global payment market, it will use information, technology, intelligence and economic strength to pose a danger to the US economy and national security," they said in their objection letter.

Although Leech Financial has repeatedly stated that it will keep MoneyGram's data infrastructure in the United States, and user information will be encrypted or stored in secure facilities in the United States.

But the Yankees don't like this, and they have shattered Leech Financial's dream of a global mobile payment empire.

Zhang Yida thought for a while and replied: "The European Union and Latin America can try, but don't hold out too much hope. There are many countries and the market is small."

"Naturally!" Xu Xiaoming chuckled, "Actually, I'm quite satisfied now. If you create an empire worth 5000 trillion US dollars, I won't reject it."

Shen Beipeng found that Xu Xiaoming was so happy today that he opened his mouth to say anything.

"Since you have decided, let's do the third pole!"

Shen Beipeng smiled, "Let me remind you, that position is not easy to take. Qiandu wants to defend it, and Meituan, Didi, Goudong, Leech Jinfu, and Rice all want to grab it!"

"Let them bring their horses over!"

Xu Xiaoming clapped his hands and smiled, "That's well said, it is to have this domineering aura!"

In the evening, Zhang Yida asked the professional chef hired by the family to cook a large table of dishes, and accompanied Xu Xiaoming to drink two cups.
