Chapter 1469 Three shit stirring sticks
"Dr. Zhang, let's talk about the price, how much is it, I'll take it." When I saw the content of the nine big words on this page of ppt, I didn't know who was in the crowd immediately shouted.
The voice was mixed with anxiety.
The gods are going to go public, but they are going to go public. How can this be? There are not many shares in your hands!
All fools know that ByteDance is a high-growth company, and it has not yet been listed. The market value of ByteDance in the capital circle exceeds that of many Internet high-tech companies that have been listed on Nasdaq.
Compared with JD.com, Weibo's market value is even higher. No one can predict how much it will rise after it goes public.
This unified perception itself shows that most capital parties are optimistic about it.
Based on this cognition, no one thought about the "unpleasant" that happened just now, and no one thought that Zhang Yiming's behavior of chasing people just now was too domineering.
No matter what your temper is, you can earn money for me.
Shang Fuhai was still on the platform and looked back at the content on PPT. He was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Yiming, and asked him: "Are you going to start preparing for the listing?"
"Yes, if you have this plan, it's basically putting the listing work on the agenda." Zhang Yiming revealed this idea for the first time.
Before this, I didn't even get angry with other shareholders.
If you say that he is not authentic in his work, this is just a "listing plan". An idea cannot explain anything.
"How much is the financing planned for this round?" Shang Fuhai didn't worry about why he concealed the listing matter and asked him directly the key points.
Zhang Yiming did not hesitate this time and said, "It's about $3 billion to $4 billion. ByteDance is not particularly short of money now. The money is mainly to prepare for the listing work and to prepare a portion of sufficient cash flow in advance to prevent accidents."
When others heard this, they would feel that Lao Zhang deserves a beating.
30/4 billion US dollars is not much, so what you call shortage of money is too sluggish.
"How many shares do you want to lend?" Shang Fuhai ignored that and continued to ask.
Zhang Yiming hesitated this time: "I don't know yet, let's take a look at the valuation. Actually, I want the market valuation of this round is between 50 and 60 billion, and I don't know what the final result will be."
After hearing the quote he said, Shang Fuhai frowned: "Your quotation is not good. Compared with the previous round, it has not doubled. What else do you want us to make? It starts at least 60 billion US dollars."
Zhang Yiming wanted to pick a brick and pat it on his head and try it. Seeing how hard it is, he started with 60 billion US dollars when he opened his mouth. He said that this is playing house!
However, he also likes the price.
But when he thought that he would repurchase part of his shares from Shang Fuhai according to the valuation of this round of financing, he gave up this "naive" idea.
The higher the valuation of this round, the better it will be for the company, but for him, the higher the price will be, the less friendly it will be.
Very contradictory!
Shang Fuhai waited on the platform for a while, and when he saw no fleas popping out, he stopped staying on it and returned to Wang Qiong, Shen Nanpeng and others in a few steps.
Ask them: "Sister Wang, Lao Shen, the last round of financing has been raised. From now on, the financing will be on the market. Why don't you get some more while you are here?"
Wang Qiong said directly: "Brother Shang, don't be greedy. Whether it is you and me, or Mr. Shen, there are a lot of shares. If you and I get involved, I will give you a sip of soup to others. As far as I know, if you can't see the profit, others will stop playing."
"As far as I know, this round is SoftBank, Chunhua and KKR. If they don't get many shares, will they be happy?"
Speaking of this, she looked at her sudden realization: "I said why they were the lead investing in this round. Literature Yiming is already considering the listing. This is clearly to give them some benefits before going public."
"The SoftBank people even called me and wanted to buy some of ByteDance's shares from me." Chen Nanpeng said suddenly.
He complained: "Or otherwise, I won't come here today."
"SoftBank and Chunhua's people have also contacted me." Wang Qiong added in a low voice. In essence, Haina Asia holds the most shares in its hands.
After they said that, the two looked at Shang Fuhai, with their eyes very obvious, and they wanted to ask him what was going on here.
Shang Fuhai pondered for a while and said, "Old Zhang wanted to repurchase some of the shares from me personally. I think it was because of this that he blocked SoftBank, Chunhua and KKR."
At this time, Wang Qiong looked up at Zhang Yiming, who was still 'talking' on the platform. She said with complaints: "I said why is this happening? The three of us have become pigs who have been cut off."
Chen Nanpeng was not so pessimistic. He shook his head and laughed: "Dr. Wang, you can't say that even if you are obsessed with it. At least we all make money and have made a lot of money. If this round of financing valuation is good, it is also a good choice to make another part of it."
"That's right, after all, I only spent a few million to get nearly half of Toutiao's shares." Wang Qiong told a fact in a plain tone.
But this was particularly harsh when Shang Fuhai and Shen Nanpeng heard these words.
Looking back at the beginning, when they invested in Toutiao today, they all had hundreds of millions of dollars.
In comparison, it is all bloody damage, and I don’t want to talk anymore.
On the high platform, Zhang Yiming continued to talk about the company's next short-term goals and medium- and long-term plans.
The others listened carefully, but Shang Fuhai and the others didn't.
Shang Fuhai suddenly said: "When the official starts later, find someone to raise the valuation quotation. If the price can reach more than 60 billion US dollars, it is not impossible to cash out the shares with less selling points."
"60 billion US dollars?" Chen Nanpeng pondered the price, and said: "It's a bit difficult, but it's not impossible to operate."
"Let's do it this way, see what the specific financing method is. If you bid, I will arrange for someone to raise the price later."
Wang Qiong also said, "If the price is raised, I can help you too."
Cao Yi pretended that he hadn't heard these conversations. He felt that he shouldn't have asked the three of them to reminisce about the past today, and now he has a problem with the conversation.
Several major shareholders who hold Toutiao shares are already thinking about how to make a fortune from Toutiao, whether he or not?
But the quotation of 60 billion US dollars as the base is really attractive. From here on, will ByteDance be more attractive after it is truly listed?
After Zhang Yiming talked about it for a while, he finally explained the rules of today amid everyone's expectations.
Bidding!
In the crowd, Qi Kunsheng, president of SoftBank China, raised his hand and quoted: "40 billion!"
He directly threw the quotation of US$31.5 billion in the e-round financing far behind.
By the way, the market rumors like ByteDance "can't do it" were smashed to pieces.
After Qi Kunsheng finished the offer, he looked directly at Zhang Yiming on the platform. This was what they discussed with Zhang Yiming in advance when they participated in this round of financing.
They helped ByteDance go public in the East China United States, but they also had to get their own benefits, otherwise who would be willing to work for nothing?
The advantage is that they must participate in this round of financing and find ways to get enough shares.
Qi Kunsheng, Chunhua Capital Hu Chunqiu, and KKR Robert had a conversation in advance. They would control the rhythm of this round of valuation quotation and should not report too high overall, so as not to pay too much at that time.
Unfortunately, Qi Kunsheng, Hu Chunqiu and Robert ignored the three shit-making sticks that came to the scene this time.
Just a few seconds after Qi Kunsheng completed the quotation of 40 billion US dollars, another voice sounded at the scene: "Nylon Capital is 45 billion."
This is a very strange capitalist.
The price was raised by 5 billion US dollars in a row, which made Qi Kunsheng frown. Who is nylon Capital?
Hu Chunqiu probably didn't expect the price to be raised so quickly. It's just over a minute. Compared with the previous round of financing, the valuation increased by 14 billion US dollars, which is nearly 50%. Is it a joke?
"45.5 billion US dollars!"
Hu Chunqiu thought about it and added 500 million US dollars. It would be too little. If it is too much, it would be more costly to increase his own costs from the side, and it is not advisable.
But he obviously underestimated how shameless those shameless people in the secret are.
The offer here just ended, and then someone shouted: "50 billion!"
This time, even Zhang Yiming, who was still standing on the platform, frowned and narrowed his eyes. The price really rose a little too fast, so fast that it made people feel unreal. No matter how you hear it, it seems to be deliberately doing it.
And the person who is calling for the price is still a strange face. Is such an investor really so powerful?
For some reason, he subconsciously looked at Shang Fuhai.
Hu Chunqiu stood on tiptoe and looked at the person who was talking. His slightly fat face had no impression of him.
"Who the hell is this? I'll make trouble for me. I immediately raised 4.5 billion US dollars. Does his family turn on the printing machine?" Hu Chunqiu cursed.
"Idiot!"
Someone next to him couldn't help but look at Hu Chunqiu. There is no need to scold you if you suffer a loss in bidding, your quality is really low.
Shang Fuhai on the other side then looked at Wang Qiong and Shen Nanpeng. Without thinking too much, you can tell from their calm expressions that the two of them were theirs.
"Sister Wang, Mr. Shen, who is this? It's so exciting. I've finished my work today. I'll treat them to a meal tonight." Shang Fuhai said.
This price increase means that he can earn more money from Zhang Yiming, and his equity value on Toutiao will also be further increased.
Why not be happy?
Shang Fuhai looked at Zhang Yiming on the high platform, and it was obvious that the expression on his face was not very good.
But at this time, making money is important, who cares about you!
With the opening of these people just now, although ByteDance's offer has reached 50 billion US dollars, it still cannot stop many capital parties from chasing it.
Chapter completed!
