Chapter 630 Penguin takes action again?

On the tea table, Zhao Qing felt his head was buzzing.

"Cheng Zhu rejected Red Mountain Capital's lead investment?" He found it incredible.

Red Mountain! That’s Red Mountain!

Short videos are not a hot field to begin with. If the first round of financing is led by Hongshan, the capital market will have more confidence in this app!

The road ahead will soon become much easier.

"This is what many Internet entrepreneurs dream of!"

.......

Zhao Qing was so jealous that he wanted to go crazy.

In the end, you pretentious guy, you fucking refused!

The things we long for are thrown away like worn-out shoes, right?

You disdain the things we envy, right?

You keep the things we want extravagantly from the door, right?

Why! Grass!

Zhao Qing is not a fool, but he always feels that something is wrong here.

Evil, so evil.

Including Shang Qi thought so too.

Otherwise, when he tells the gossip in this circle, his tone will not be the same as now.

Although [Paipai] and [Youqu] are not the same type of short video APP, they currently target the same user groups.

They all want to compete for the trendy young people in big cities first, and make a short video APP that can lead the trend.

Therefore, the direct competitive relationship between the two is actually stronger than [Baishou].

After the previous troubles, Shang Qi and Zhao Qing had seen Cheng Zhu's terrifyingly powerful "background".

I haven’t figured it out yet, I can’t figure it out at all!

Forget about kicking the steel plate. They have been asking for months, but they still can’t find out who they offended!

This is the scariest thing!

They even began to gradually "rationalize" many things, attributing Cheng Zhu's current success to his "backers."

This is actually part of human nature, and there are too many people who think this way in life.

Many people are accustomed to attribute a person's success entirely to his family, background, connections, etc.

As if he had it all and could stand taller than him.

This may indeed be one of the factors for the other party's success, and perhaps the proportion may be quite large.

But whether this kind of thinking is right or wrong, everyone has their own conclusions.

Therefore, neither Shang Qi nor Zhao Qing found it surprising that Red Mountain Capital was willing to make a big bet on [Youqu] and to be the lead investor in this financing.

However, Cheng Zhu rejected Hongshan’s lead investment, so who does he plan to let lead the investment?

This revealed an unusual atmosphere.

"There's something fishy!" This was Shang Qi's first thought after learning about this.

Wen Ting, who had been silent and focused on making tea, seemed somewhat active at this moment and actually participated in the conversation.

"Do you think he wants Yue Dongyi's Pulin Capital to lead the investment?" She gave a guess.

"I've thought about it too." Shang Qi nodded.

After all, without Yue Dongyi’s astonishing 100 million investment, Pomelo Tea would not have developed so rapidly.

It can even be said that Yue Dongyi’s astonishing 100 million has directly revitalized and heated up the new milk tea market!

Suddenly, entrepreneurs from all walks of life poured into this industry, creating a new trend.

Capital from all walks of life has also begun to pay attention to this field. In the past, no one would take milk tea seriously.

From the perspective of an investor, the legendary figure Yue Dongyi has unearthed another underwater project. He has outstanding vision and dares to think and do it!

Before him, who the hell would invest 100 million in milk tea? This is not true.

Strictly speaking, Yue Dongyi has never taken on the most top-notch big projects. Otherwise, he can be regarded as the only one among domestic investors.

The veteran force king is so terrifying!

Today, Pomelo Tea’s valuation has exceeded 10 billion.

And judging from the current momentum, it may even double in the future!

A mere milk tea project has become one of the top projects in the domestic catering industry.

Shang Qi, Zhao Qing and Wen Ting all agreed that Cheng Zhu recognized this relationship and that it was highly possible for Pulin Capital to lead the first round of financing for [Youqu].

Judging from the current development momentum of [Youqu], it will definitely be popular in the future. It just depends on how popular it is. It will definitely be a good project.

"It would be understandable if it were done by Pulin Capital." Zhao Qing nodded.

Shang Qi said solemnly: "This is the best situation."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Qing was stunned for a moment, but he immediately came to his senses.

For a moment, his eyes under his silver-rimmed glasses widened a bit. He couldn't help but look at Shang Qi, and his heart suddenly tightened!

If Pulin Capital had not led the investment to repay the favor, then things would have gone haywire!

No one would think that Cheng Zhu was a pure fool.

A qualified businessman must at least be able to look at the pros and cons.

If you rejected the lead investment from Red Mountain Capital, you must have a better choice in mind, or in other words, it has probably already been negotiated!

"There are more attractive words than Hongshan Capital." Zhao Qing looked at Shang Qi and did not continue.

Looking at the whole country, there are only a few of them!

Such as Penguin, such as Ali.

"The main thing that makes me worry is, don't forget, Penguin also invested in Cheng Zhu's pomelo tea in the latest round of financing!" Shang Qi tapped the tea table with two fingers, his tone becoming more solemn.

When Zhao Qing heard this, he couldn't help but feel that his throat was extremely dry.

He couldn't help but pick up the slightly scalding hot tea and took a sip.

After being slightly burned, his facial features were a little twisted together, and then he struggled to say: "Didn't you hear the news?"

"No, if I hadn't been familiar with people from Hongshan, I wouldn't have known that Cheng Zhu rejected Hongshan's lead investment." Shang Qi shook his head.

Both of them know very well, don’t think that because Penguin has [Microvision], it won’t invest in other short video platforms.

For this major domestic Internet company, insiders like them are familiar with its "urinary nature".

Penguin is not short of money at all, and does not mind a bit of "internal competition."

Although [Micro Vision] is not taken seriously internally, [Youqu] takes a different route after all.

Now is the first round of financing, so how much money has been invested is just drizzle for Penguin.

In fact, if it develops according to the normal timeline, Penguin will invest in [Block Hand] next year.

Therefore, it is actually very normal for Zhao Qing and Shang Qi to have such thoughts, and it is a traceable guess.

This made the two of them, who had just spent a period of fearful days, spend another anxious life again!

No! You, Cheng Zhu, just want to mess with our mentality, right?

If [Youqu] can really get behind the penguin next, then [Paipai] will use what to fight with it!

Wait for death, wait for death, everyone, wait for death, hehe.

"There's nothing we can do now." Shang Qi finally showed his big brother attitude and said that we must stabilize our aura first, and we can't panic all at once.

"Just wait and see what happens. Let's wait and see what happens first," he said.

Zhao Qing nodded: "We can only wait and see what happens."

If [Youqu] had received investment from Penguin in its early stages, when the profit model was still unclear, he would have been so angry that he would have bitten his teeth even if he fell asleep in the middle of the night!

You might suddenly wake up and sit up in bed.

"No! Why!"

Cheng Zhu didn't know that he had rejected Hongshan's lead investment, and the news would spread to a small extent within the capital circle.

Of course, he didn't care about it.

He has been busy with the financing of [Youqu] these days. He only went to Youcha once, and basically left all the big and small matters to Ningning.

These days, there are a lot of trivial things about Pomelo Tea.
