Wind Rises 2005

Chapter 663: Lao Ma’s family is really good!

A good celebration dinner was suddenly turned into a financing conference.

There is no way, because [Kaixin.com] is really crucial to Ma Liang's future business landscape.

After all, Twitter is destined to be unable to directly conduct business in China in the future, so an obedient agent is particularly indispensable.

If you want to maximize your profits, you must help [Kaixin.com] compete with Goose Factory.

Even if they can't defeat Little Ma, it would be great as long as [Kaixin.com] manages to gain a foothold and snatch a piece of meat from Goose Factory's mouth.

So let alone 5 million US dollars, it is worth one billion or two billion US dollars.

Although in the PC era, such a large investment seemed extremely exaggerated, but in the mobile Internet era, this number is not a big deal at all.

Super unicorns such as Meituan, Kuaishou and Didi have not burned tens of billions of dollars to become powerful.

The prospects of [Kaixin.com] are obviously brighter, and Ma Liang will not feel bad no matter how much money he spends.

As for guiding Cheng Binghao to create [WeChat] in advance, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, instant messaging software such as MiLiao and Momo will be launched one after another. There is more than one company on the market entering this track, and Goose Factory will definitely follow closely.

At its peak, there would be at least dozens of apps of the same type competing against each other.

At that time, everyone can only rely on their own abilities, and a temporary advantage will not guarantee that they will have the last laugh.

However, for Kaixin.com, if it can launch WeChat more than half a year in advance, the competitive pressure it will face from Goose Factory in the future will be much less.

The key to victory or defeat lies in whether you can convert the existing users of the website.

Even if you can convert 10% within half a year, your chances of winning will be completely different. Once these seed users reach a large scale, they will definitely provide the foundation for Kaixin.com to take off in the mobile Internet era.

The reason why old moneymen from Xiangjiang such as Zhou Kaixuan and He Duwang were attracted to die was also to attract more help.

You must know that if you want to use the Internet in China, you will not be able to do it without some background.

Behind Jack Ma, Pony Ma, Robin Li and others, everyone has the support of various forces, otherwise it would be impossible for you to become big.

If [Kaixin.com] wants to become a giant, it must do this.

Instead of looking for those second-generation ancestors of the Imperial City as his backers, Ma Liang would rather choose to cooperate with a group of old moneymen from Xiangjiang.

After all, these people have been playing capital for many years, and they understand the rules of the game and will not flip the table at every turn.

Moreover, they also have various upper-level connections behind them, and they can protect [Kaixin.com] when necessary, preventing others from doing evil things at will.

Business competition has reached the highest level, and you have to consider these factors. You can't help but be dissatisfied.

The reason why the big guys in Xiangjiang were so happy to agree to Ma Liang's investment in [Kaixin.com] was because his past successful cases gave everyone a strong certificate of trust.

Leaving aside [Dafeng Capital] and Twitter, the sub-brands under [Xunwei Group] waiting to be listed are convincing enough.

In addition, [Kaixin.com]'s gambling game is full of temptations, and no one can resist taking action.

This is the case in the venture capital circle. Financing may seem difficult, but once you get the situation right, it seems extremely easy. Especially in the game where all the big guys are eliminated, it further reduces the cost of decision-making between each other.

It's like the financing situation of Ma Liang's shared bicycle track in his previous life. In the end, so many giant companies and industry leaders ended up, and raising billions was just for fun.

So although Kaixin.com’s 5 million US dollars is a lot of money, once the two top tycoons Zhou Kaixuan and He Gambling decided to join the game, other big guys would naturally follow suit and want to get involved.

Of course, it is impossible to allocate all the financing in this round, and Ma Liang himself will also eat part of it.

In the past, it was because it was unnecessary, but now that [Kaixin.com] is about to be of great use, he will definitely have to follow in a few more rounds.

By then, [Dafeng Capital] will also become the largest shareholder of [Kaixin.com].

Ma Liang insisted that Chai Daguan and Cheng Binghao find RMB funds to invest in order to take extra precautions.

Because when it comes to the top level of competition, this aspect becomes very subtle.

Once something goes wrong, leading Internet companies invested entirely by RMB funds may get unexpected help, and they won't be easily blamed for manipulation by foreign capital.

This is also the reason why Ma Liang insisted on attracting a group of old money from Xiangjiang to invest. After all, there were too many cases in this regard in his previous life.

The dinner went on smoothly, and the financing of [Kaixin.com] was completed as expected.

While Ma Liang continued to stay in Xiangjiang in the next few days and continued to make various connections, the situation in the mainland had completely exploded.

After the Hong Kong media's massive publicity, the mainland media will naturally not turn a blind eye.

Coupled with multiple factors such as convenient conditions, the in-depth reports on Ma Liang are even more overwhelming.

[A new legend is born! ]
[The youngest CEO of a listed company in history! ]
[From starting from scratch to successfully going public, on the magical journey of a college student entrepreneur. ]
[A college student who just turned 20 became a giant in the catering and food industry. What did he do right? ]
[The founder of three major national brands and a talker in the chain restaurant industry. ]
[Start a business? No, far more than that...]
[A shocking counterattack by young people in a small town. College students are actually the capital giants behind the scenes! ]
The mainland media went all out this time, and they also cooperated with many Hong Kong media to completely expose Ma Liang after taking turns to dig deep.

This time, he really walked to the stage.

Although the Spring Festival is approaching and the whole country is busy, the story about Ma Liang has still become a topic of conversation among the people after dinner.

Countless people are curious about his business genius, and there are also many admirers.

If the media hadn't exposed Ma Liang's family background in advance, many people would even suspect that he was the third generation.

After all, his path to prosperity over the years has been too monstrous, and without knowing the specific details of his operations, the public will inevitably call him "The Son of Destiny" when they see the speed of his fortune.

After all, almost no one believed in such things as rebirth, so doubting one's origin became the first reaction of countless people.

However, the media had reported it in advance and even published interviews with relatives and classmates around Ma Liang, completely confirming his identity as an ordinary person.

This made the public even more interested in him, especially a group of netizens who were the most enthusiastic. The Internet was full of topics about him.

Discussing, teasing, worshiping...

The major Tieba forums were flooded with posts one after another, and the conversation was all over the place.

[I originally thought that the old horse and the little pony were already invincible, but I didn’t expect that a little pony would turn out to be...]
[Fuck...fuck, who would have thought that this guy is actually an investor in Twitter! ]
[When there was a disaster in Sichuan and Sichuan, and Little Ma took action in times of crisis, I knew he was extraordinary. I never thought I was naive, but he turned out to be such a monster. It was so terrifying! ]
[Jack Ma and Pony Ma are awesome enough, but I didn’t expect another one with the surname Ma! ]
[The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves in front die on the beach. Compared with those two horses, our Marlon horse is obviously more awesome! ]
[Indeed, those two horses relied on other people's investment to become bigger and stronger, but our little horse brother is self-reliant and even used the capital to go to America. ]
[Oh, it’s also nine years of compulsory education, why am I such a waste? ]
[Lao Ma’s family is really good...]
[Nothing you say now is in vain. I only regret that my surname is not Ma! ]
