Carefree Life in the World of Film and Television

"It's still early now, let's find a scenic spot to visit."

After leaving Anjia Tianxia Store, Jiang Chen said to Wu Shiyi.

"Which scenic spot does Mr. Jiang want to go to?" Wu Shiyi asked as he started the car.

"casual."

Jiang Chen had never been to Yanjing in his previous life. Although he was very curious about Yanjing, he didn't know where to go.

Wu Shiyi turned on the navigation and took Jiang Chen to a nearby scenic spot.

After wandering around the scenic spot for two hours, Jiang Chen returned to the hotel.

"Mr. Jiang, this is a document sent by Didi Dache. It is the list of capital that will participate in financing the day after tomorrow." Nie Xingchen handed a piece of information to Jiang Chen.

"Is it from Mr. Cheng?"

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "It seems that Mr. Cheng's plan is very smart."

Didi Dache’s previous Series A financing was US$3 million from Jinshajiang Venture Capital, Series B financing: US$15 million from Tencent, and Series C financing: US$60 million from CITIC and US$30 million from Tencent.

Now in the D round of financing, if you want to raise more funds, the best way is to let the capital parties participating in the financing compete with each other.

The current list serves this purpose.

"Mr. Jiang, this is also a good thing."

Nie Xingchen said: "Compared to other capitals, our Xingchen Investment is just a fledgling company, and our competitiveness is much lower than theirs. If we can succeed in this D-round financing of Didi Dache, it will be considered a start for us." Fame.”

Before Jiang Chen and Wu Shiyi came back, Nie Xingchen had already studied these capital methods.

Temasek, DST, Tencent, SoftBank and other capital investors all made Nie Xingchen feel suffocated.

"Then what do you think the valuation of this D round of financing is?" Jiang Chen asked.

Nie Xingchen asked: "Based on Didi Taxi's previous situation, the valuation of this financing is approximately US$3 billion."

"Mr. Jiang, I think Secretary Nie is right." Yu Qingqing also said: "Although Didi Dache has surpassed Kuaidi, in terms of market share, Didi Dache is now evenly matched with Kuaidi."

"Fast?"

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.

In his previous life, he remembered that after Didi Dache’s D round of financing, Didi Dache carried out a strategic merger with Kuaidi in less than two months. At the same time, shortly after Didi Dache’s D round of financing, Kuaidi Dache completed a new round of financing. The financing totaling US$600 million was led by SoftBank Group, with Alibaba Group and Tiger Global also participating in the investment.

Now in the world of film and television integration, it may be different from the previous life, but it doesn’t necessarily mean we can’t use it as a reference.

"Let's do this, Secretary Nie, collect information about Kuaidi in the past two days." Jiang Chen thought for a while and said: "In addition, find a way to contact Kuaidi's shareholders to see if it is possible to buy some Kuaidi from them. of shares.”

"Okay." Nie Xingchen nodded.

Two days later, Jiang Chen took the three girls to the twentieth floor of the Shangri-La Hotel.

Didi Taxi’s D round of financing was held here.

When Jiang Chen and the others arrived, many capital parties had already arrived.

Because no one from the capital side knew them, Jiang Chen and the others found a corner to sit down after they arrived.

"Mr. Jiang, over there is the representative of Temasek. Over there is the representative of DST, over there is the representative of Tencent... Next to them is the representative of SoftBank..." Nie Xingchen had investigated the relevant information before, so after sitting down, she Introduced to Jiang Chen.

The famous ones are like Shen Nanpeng of Sequoia Capital.

Mr. Xiong of IDG Capital.

Chao Guowei of Sina.

Wang Qiong from Haina Asia

Mr. Li from Tencent Investment.

Cao Yi from Source Code also came, Guo Shengguo from CICC Fund also came, and Yu Jianlin from CITIC Construction Investment also came.

In addition, there are Li Kaifu from Sinovation Ventures, Bao Fan from China Renaissance Capital, Xiao Min from Dachen Venture Capital, Li Yuanzhu from Inno Angel Fund, and Zhang Ying from Matrix Partners, all of whom are quite important figures in the investment circle. ,

In the next period, all the capital parties participating in Didi Dache’s D-round financing arrived.

This comprehensive luxury venue is divided into five or six circles with varying numbers of people. Everyone consciously guards their own one-third of an acre of land, chatting with each other about recent developments and communicating with each other in their own circles. Information each knows.

Relatively speaking, Jiang Chen's Xingchen Investment is a little transparent in the eyes of these investors.

Mr. Cheng from Didi Taxi took the stage and introduced it.

From the development history of Didi Taxi to several rounds of financing.

From Didi Taxi’s prospects to market share.

What Mr. Cheng said was impassioned.

But few actually listened to him, because these investors had already investigated Didi Dache thoroughly before coming.

The final offer was beyond everyone's expectations.

Didi Dache's D-round quotation was US$4 billion. On this basis, Didi Dache announced an additional issuance of 100 million shares in this round. Taking into account various development requirements, it received a huge financing of US$800 million in one go.

This result was beyond the expectations of the media present. It was too high, but the capital side bought it.

After this round of financing, Temasek, DST, and Star Investment entered the game.

Xingchen Investment received an investment of 200 million US dollars and became famous in one fell swoop.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang, I am Shen Nanpeng from Sequoia Capital."

"Hello, Mr. Jiang, I am Wang Qiong from Haina Asia."

"Hello, Mr. Jiang, I am..."

After the financing was completed, the capital parties approached Jiang Chen one by one.

When Jiang Chen came in, many of them had already seen it. However, at that time, he thought Jiang Chen was here to make soy sauce. Unexpectedly, he was so wealthy that he suddenly obtained 200 million US dollars in financing.

Based on Didi’s valuation of US$4 billion, Xingchen Investment owns 5% of Didi’s shares.

It can be said that Xingchen Investment is a dark horse in the investment world.

Jiang Chen knew that this reputation would have both good and bad consequences, but now, for Xingchen Investment, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

After dealing with these capital parties and having dinner with them, Jiang Chen and the others returned to the room.

"Secretary Nie, the Didi taxi ride has been confirmed this time, and the next procedures will be left to you." Jiang Chen said to Nie Xingchen.

"Mr. Jiang, most of the company's funds are now in stock futures. If 200 million U.S. dollars are to be transferred into Didi Taxi's account within a month, I'm afraid..." Nie Xingchen did not continue speaking at this point, but her The meaning is already obvious.

Two hundred million US dollars, almost 1.6 billion yuan.

The total assets of Xingchen Investment are now only 3 billion.

"You don't need to worry about funds. I have a solution. Didi Taxi's prospects are very great. Even if the Lihui Building is mortgaged, I will still win the shares of Didi Taxi this time."

Jiang Chen paused here and said, "However, after this financing incident, I'm afraid many people will investigate our Xingchen Investment, so I need you to do something."
