Time flies.
It has been half a month since Xiao Ling's Hengdian incident.
In this half month.
Xiao Bei and the people in the entire 401 dormitory have not returned to school for classes.
In this regard, the leaders of the entire Hangzhou University have no objection.
They even hope that the people in the 401 dormitory will not come back.
Because this half month, in the economic history of Xiaguo, is a business miracle of shared bicycles.
December 25th!
ofo Technology has completed the A round of financing and obtained a total of 40 million funds.
All used for coverage of second-tier cities.
And it was the day after the Xiao Ling incident.
In Pengcheng, the first company to copy ofo technology appeared.
It was Penguin Investment, and David's Bluegogo directly entered the market.
Bluegogo joined the market.
It caused a little impact on ofo's yellow bike, but not a big one.
After all, ofo is now the company with the largest market share in the entire shared bicycle market.
And just when Bluegogo was born.
In some third-tier and lower cities in Xiaguo, red bikes appeared.
It was Mobike led by Hu Weiwei!
Behind it was Zhang Xue's support.
For a time, the entire shared bike market was a blue ocean.
Now, as long as there is capital, everyone wants to enter this market to get a share!
Especially half a month later, the financial disclosures of ofo Technology, Bluegogo and Redgogo, are all very impressive!
Look, ofo Technology has just entered the A round of financing for half a month.
Directly opened the B round of financing.
In the B round of financing, Alibaba is still the lead investor. This time, in addition to Alibaba and Zhang Nan, who invested in ofo before, there is also an international venture capital company.
That is the famous Sequoia Capital.
This time, ofo Technology still took out 10% of its shares for financing.
This time, I don’t know if it is because of Penguin’s strategic investment in Bluegogo.
It made Alibaba feel a sense of crisis.
Therefore, Alibaba originally only holds 8% of ofo Technology's shares.
In ofo Technology, it does not have a certain voice.
So in order to counter the pressure from Penguin.
This time, Alibaba really invested heavily in the B round of financing.
Originally, ofo Technology initiated the financing agreement and invited many big names in the venture capital industry.
For example, Sequoia, Yellowstone, Goldman Sachs, Softbank and other world-renowned venture capitals.
But it was such a lineup.
In the end, only Alibaba, Sequoia and Zhang Nan were left.
From this, we can see how high Alibaba's offer was this time.
The final valuation of ofo Technology given by Alibaba was as high as 5 billion!
Equivalent to 700 million US dollars!
This valuation is more than 10 times higher than the 400 million in the A round of financing!
However, for such a high offer from Alibaba.
No one in the business community thinks it is inappropriate.
Because it is Alibaba, everyone thinks it is normal.
First: ofo Technology's financial disclosure is indeed very good.
Second: Bluegogo's largest shareholder is Penguin. As long as Penguin fully supports Bluegogo, Alibaba will be in a passive situation.
After all, this is an extremely large payment portal.
Alibaba cannot fail in this game no matter what.
Because the cost of failure is very high.
Now Bluegogo has begun to compete with ofo Technology for the market in first-tier cities with the support of Penguin.
So in order to keep ofo's first position in the industry.
Alibaba had to do this.
Then the valuation given by Alibaba immediately drove some capital out of this financing.
It's not that these top capitals can't afford it.
But they think the market value is too high. You know, it's only the B round now, and the valuation has reached a terrifying 700 million US dollars, which is infinitely close to the valuation of unicorn companies.
Then, what level can the valuation of ofo Technology reach in the future?
Capital is not stupid, and it will not go out and play with Alibaba because of Alibaba.
And Alibaba's idea is that it's best if no one follows the investment.
In this case, all ofo Technology's 10% shares will belong to him.
When he adds the 8% in his hands, he will be able to become one of the top three shareholders of ofo.
Then his voice in ofo Technology will become even greater!
In the future, he can even control the founding team of ofo Technology and make it a subsidiary of Alibaba.
At that time, relying on the market share of ofo Technology.
Then Alibaba will be able to suppress Penguin in this sharing war.
Of course, Alibaba is definitely not a fool.
The reason why it offered such a high valuation this time is also because of its own ideas..
That is, Ali needs to integrate ofoAPP into Alipay applet.
This move.
Most people may not see anything.
But Xiao Bei and Zhang Zhibo know very well why Ali does this.
Once ofo Technology is connected to Alipay applet.
That means that part of the deposit will go directly to Ali's account.
What kind of company is Alipay?
A Yu'ebao can turn the money of half of the people in the whole Xia country into its own investment funds for investment.
Then ofo's deposit will definitely be operated by Ali in the same way.
Although Xiao Bei and the entire 401 people know how powerful Ali's move is.
But no one in his mother's mind pointed it out.
Because this is exactly what several people want!
So on December 25, ofo Technology, in the B round of financing, Ali took 7% of the shares, plus the last 8% of the shares.
Ali already holds 15% of ofo Technology.
Amount after financing:
Xiao Bei: 26%
Zhang Zhibo: 18%
Hu Jilong: 23%
Wang Wei: 8%
Shen Feng: 5%
Ali: 15%
Feipeng Ventures: 3%
Sequoia Capital: 2%
After the B round of financing, Ali has become the fourth largest shareholder of ofo Technology.
And unlike the previous A round, this time, Ali directly reached out to the deposit. In the A round, it only agreed to connect Alipay payment to the ofo Technology APP.
And this time, Ali directly set the ofo Technology PP directly as an Alipay applet.
Then, Ali's funds will usher in a blowout.
In other words, now Ali is ready to put the first sickle of cutting leeks on the head of the founder of ofo Technology.
But what Ali doesn't know is.
Xiao Bei and others are waiting for Ali's sickle.
It has to be said that in this round of financing, Ali's ambitions have been fully exposed.
However, it must be said that at this stage, Alibaba's decision is definitely correct.
Because ofo Technology is indeed the shared bicycle company with the largest market share.
After financing, ofo Technology is already a company with a market value of 700 million US dollars.
When the financial news broke the news of this financing.
The entire Xiaguo business community was shocked.
Some people say that Alibaba is crazy, and some people say that Alibaba is making a plan.
But no matter which one, the founding team of ofo company Hangzhou University 401 has become popular again.
Because according to the current market value of ofo Technology.
All the people in the founding team of ofo Technology have become billionaires!
