I asked you to save a bankrupt factory and you became the richest man in the world.

Chapter 309 Chapter 177-178: The purpose of financing Series C! (Two chapters in total)
"800 billion-level large-scale technology company", "R&D-oriented company", "to finance Series C", these three keywords have suddenly become keywords in the current capital market.

Because now Hillhouse Group is not only in the electronic technology industry, but also in the automobile industry, and there are hot products one after another, especially the recently sold mateX1 product, which has become a black technology level product that shocked the entire market.

You know, in the entire Chinese market, whether it is the electronic technology industry or the automobile industry, every local technology company basically does not have its own dry goods and what can be called a moat.

Basically, most companies are paddling and fishing!
Their products are either directly copied from foreign products and then made into inferior versions; or they are high imitations of foreign products, with a little bit of micro-innovation of their own, and then they are called their own products.

There are absolutely no thoughts or ideas of my own.

One day is one day, two days is two days. There is no innovation and R&D to surpass foreign manufacturers.

But now the emergence of Hillhouse has excited the capital market.

Sales volume of 885 billion yuan, profit of nearly 46 billion yuan, average profit of 8%, and a strong R&D personnel base of approximately 1.1.

Moreover, this number is still rising rapidly.

Under such a premise, such a company that is not short of money actually wants to start financing and raise Series C?
Oh my god, is this really a dream?

"Good guy! This is Nomura Securities of the island country! Their company's international investment actions have always been known for being conservative and prudent, and now they are actually bidding."

After all, Hillhouse Group has developed to such an extent that it always feels strange that the boss has no heir in his first year.

During this period of time, the financial director of Hillhouse Technology had letters of intent for bidding in hand one after another. Basically, all the companies she could think of, as well as companies she had never thought of, participated in the bidding!

"Thank you! Mr. Wang! I'll take the information to Mr. Gao right now and let Mr. Gao review it!" Shang Yayan lowered her head, picked up the information prepared by Wang Hong, smiled apologetically at her, and hugged her. Taking the information, he walked directly back to the president's office on the top floor of Hillhouse Building.

Financial Director Wang Hongbian and Shang Yayan talked while chatting about the general background of these companies.

She knew that Shang Yayan had been following Boss Gao for several years and had always been a secret. It was impossible that there was no intrigue between the two of them!

If you are pregnant with a son and a half daughter, the mother is more valuable than the child, and it is not impossible to reach the sky with this step.

And this kind of dedication to the main business is what stock market investors want.

Everyone rushed back to the company, and after discussing it, they all called the financial center of Hillhouse Group.

Where can there be such a test for cadres!
Sending money is not such a method of giving money.

All of a sudden, a large number of investment banks that felt they were powerful, including some companies with Chinese-owned official background, participated in the bidding.

"Damn it! Huajiantou's offer! Ordinary companies are not qualified to use their services. It seems that they are very optimistic about our company."

How can this not surprise investment companies!

Although she will have a more detailed analysis report later, it is definitely a good opportunity for her to deal with Shang Yayan, a celebrity in front of Boss Gao.

"This is actually from Sansang Electronics? Have they not given up yet? Oh! It turns out that there are promises and guarantees from European channels and Southeast Asian channels. No wonder they dare to come in and compete."

"This is...Qualcomm! They only make semiconductors, so what's the point of getting involved? They want to be alone!"

Now, Hillhouse Technology still needs to do a large-scale talent expansion, instead of collecting money, leaving, and going to a beautiful country to enjoy a good life like those big A companies after going public.

Isn’t this really giving away money?
Hillhouse Technology has made it clear that it will be listed in about half a year. It is hard to bite the bullet. After the listing, the sky will be brighter and the sky will be brighter. I don’t know how much money it will make!
Now we still need to raise funds and do Series C?
There really is such a good thing!
Everyone has heard that Boss Gao Huaijun, who has always wanted to have dinner with him but could not find anyone, suddenly wants to engage in Series C.

This group of talents realized that Hillhouse hoped to expand Hillhouse's R&D staff by more than 50% before going public.

"Hua Guo CICC? Mr. Zhu seems to have called the boss, but the boss is noncommittal. Mr. Zhu's energy now is definitely not as good as ten years ago, and they have nothing special in the technology industry. resource."

This group of people finally understood that the Hillhouse Group really came with nuclear weapons this time!
A lot of people discussed in their own conference rooms all night, and finally came to the conclusion that Hillhouse is still dissatisfied with the current situation!
They hope that through this expansion of R&D personnel, they will show to the outside world that their core purpose of making money in the stock market is not to withdraw. The most critical role is to expand their core business.

On the top floor of the newly built Hillhouse Building in Xicheng, the entire floor is occupied by Gao Huaijun's office.

Except for the 500 square meters, which has the best view and overlooks Li Lake, it is set aside to be used as a large office with a ring screen and a small office for Shang Yayan and Li Yinxin. The remaining part is used as a gym and a multi-functional bedroom. .

The top floor is a dedicated helicopter landing pad!
Gao Huaijun bought an ultra-luxury H1200 private jet that can seat eight people and has a maximum range of 125 kilometers as a means of transportation to and from his private residence and office on a private island in Taihu Lake.

However, when she passed the administrative center from the financial center, the originally noisy personnel center was indeed as quiet as a bird.

After she left, there was a lot of discussion behind her.

"That's the business manager!"

"Which business manager?"

"President Gao's secretary, don't you know?"

"Which one? Which one?"

"That's the guy who was wearing a light gray suit and a high ponytail just now."

"Wow, it's her! She looks very elegant."

"No, Boss Gao's company is about to go public. This business manager is the only woman around him. It's really making people jealous!"

"It's a pity that the business manager is not honest."

"What's the problem with being upright or not? It doesn't matter if I am her upright or not."

Shang Yayan didn't hear the discussion in the personnel center and quickly gave the information to Gao Huaijun, "Mr. Gao, all the information in the past half month has been collected!"

As she spoke, she placed the documents that had been marked with sticky notes of different colors on the table.

Gao Huaijun nodded after hearing this.

Shang Yayan has been with him for so long, and the most reassuring thing for him is that she is more careful in doing things.

The things handed over to him basically went through a round of screening.

This can save him a lot of time to read detailed content.

This is actually very important for a boss. Because Hillhouse Group has five subsidiaries alone, and it will soon have a sixth.

Hillhouse Service BU will be officially established!

One of the core tasks of this company is to expand its services to Hillhouse Group customers and solve the difficulties and pain points in after-sales repair and maintenance.

At the same time, the financial services companies under Hillhouse Group that cooperate with Xizhou Rural Commercial Bank will also be merged into this Hillhouse Service BU.

The things in six subsidiaries are really not that small!
Now even if she shares a little bit of work, Li Yinxin always says that she is too busy.

When Gao Huaijun saw more than thirty pieces of information on the table, he couldn't help but feel a hint of joy on his face.

You must know that the information Shang Yayan handed him would not be the kind of elementary information that had not been screened before, but most of it would be from powerful investment banks that had been screened.

Those who rely on some second-generation connections and want to come here to do business are basically passed by ruthlessly.

joke!

With the current status of Hillhouse Group, why do we need to look at the face of the second generation?
"Deutsche Bank, Nomura Securities, and Freeport's Hengfeng Holdings are also here!" Gao Huaijun looked at the information, and the corners of his mouth broke into laughter.

"Mr. Gao, what did you think about it? Which company are you initially planning to choose as the negotiation partner for the C-round financing company?" Shang Yayan squatted down next to Gao Huaijun's chair and asked tentatively.

She had been Gao Huaijun's secretary for so long, so naturally she no longer needed to answer as cautiously as before.

Now that there are so many powerful companies laying the groundwork, there is naturally a lot more room to choose from.

"Who said I have to do the C round?" Gao Huaijun put the Hengfeng Holdings information on the table and looked at Shang Yayan with a half-smile.

When Shang Yayan heard this, she couldn't help being surprised!
Didn’t we agree to raise a Series C round?
Why did you suddenly change your mind?

Is it appropriate to play with those investment bank bosses like this?

You know, these investment banks, one after another, are all extraordinary people with deep capital, and several of them are Wall Street bosses.

Is it appropriate to play with them directly like this?

Seeing the confusion and puzzlement on Shang Yayan's face, Gao Huaijun burst into laughter.

"C-round investment, even 10% of the shares, is not a small amount. How can we come to a conclusion in a day or two? You have been working at Hillhouse for a long time, so you feel that everything in this world is insignificant. The final closed loop must be carried out in units of days!" Gao Huaijun slowly touched Shang Yayan's hair and said softly.

Shang Yayan thought about it, this is true!
She had been Gao Huaijun's secretary for so long, so naturally she could no longer be as cautious as she had been a few years ago, fearing that she would be eliminated by Gao Huaijun.

In fact, many times, the power of the platform is more important than personal strength!
Now that Hillhouse Technology is no longer doing Series C investment, but is doing pre-IPO, so many companies will naturally come over, so we know how many powerful investment banks can take over Hillhouse.

"I asked them to prepare the information for Series C financing, not to trick them. A core reason is because Hillhouse Technology is about to go public, and I need to identify a leading investor as soon as possible!"

"Companies that directly use personal relationships to find change are actually not suitable, because I don't know how much these companies can contribute to the listing of Hillhouse Technology."

Gao Huaijun said slowly while smoking a cigar and standing by the window sill.

In fact, Gao Huaijun had a gap in his heart about this matter.

If Hillhouse Technology is a small and medium-sized enterprise with a scale of only a few hundred million yuan, it goes without saying that it will definitely catch one by one. Whoever can take me to the market will be arrested.

But now that Hillhouse Technology is listed, it faces many complicated situations.

One is the regulatory turmoil of Sansang Electronics, which is looming. If the partner Hillhouse Technology finds is not strong enough to deter foreign forces, then this listing will inevitably fail.

Even if these foreign forces want to intervene, it cannot be at this point in time. Gao Huaijun hopes that the decoupling time will be postponed as far as possible, at least until he has to wait until the closed loop of internal components is safe!

And this matter still needs a long way to go.

The second is that Hillhouse Technology now has a share, which is equivalent to about 20% of the total share capital. It is placed in the virtual union, and then the union distributes it to tens of thousands of employees to extract the virtual share income. Such a huge profit , if it is not listed, then of course it is nothing, it is just free allocation within Gao Huaijun's own company.

But now that the company is about to go public, it is naturally impossible to continue doing this. How to deal with such a huge amount of equity needs to be carefully considered and determined by the leading party and the stock exchange. Otherwise, even the basic information for the listing cannot be prepared. Well, let alone going public.

This matter can be big or small. If you find an unreliable partner, it will be a huge problem.

The third is that Hillhouse Technology is now listed, where to list, the security of financing after listing, and a series of other issues, which all need to be determined by the lead investor.

For these contents, Gao Huaijun was only the second-in-command of an electronic technology company before time travel, and he was not familiar with or professional about these things.

He hopes that professionals can give him professional advice.

Finally, there is the issue of the premium space for Hillhouse Technology’s listing, and this is precisely the issue that Gao Huaijun cares about least.

Now that he has some precious information tips that he can use, he can naturally make more money!
Therefore, the company's development security was placed in the most critical position by him.

Shang Yayan looked at Gao Huaijun in surprise!
It turns out that when Gao Huaijun was looking for Series C investors, he was looking for the IPO lead investor!

Boss Gao, you hide it quite deeply!

Both CFO Wang Hong and Shang Yayan agreed that Hillhouse Technology was going to conduct a new round of Series C financing.

Instead of feinting a shot, make a small move!

But thinking about it, I think Gao Huaijun's action was too strong.

Because if the lead investor is publicly recruited, it will be affected by many parties, which will be too much.

Even government factors need to be taken into consideration.

Far less simple than Series C financing.

"Then how do we find a suitable lead investor for our company from this pile of information?" Shang Yayan asked.
