Chapter 74 Chapter 073: Series A financing started!
"I wonder if that boy Tang Yuan came over today? He didn't come over. It was so boring. They were all unfamiliar people." Gao Huaijun couldn't help but think as he held the list.

This kind of conference is said to be for mutual learning, but to put it bluntly, it is just like the EMBA of later generations, for participants to communicate and exchange ideas. By the way, they can do some PY to see if there are any good investment projects and financing channels.

Therefore, a large number of state-owned and private investment institutions came to this meeting to look for suitable prey.

Good projects are found.

It is possible that an accidental encounter is a good start.

Therefore, this is also the reason why many young entrepreneurs like to participate in similar forums where big names sit.

Here, there is indeed gold everywhere.

Gao Huaijun was looking at the seating chart when a hand suddenly touched his shoulder.

Turn your head.

Hey!
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!

Tang Yuan looked at Shang Yayan at the side with a surprised look on his face.

wipe!
Isn’t this Lin Xiaoyu’s roommate?
She actually became Gao Huaijun's secretary.

This is the plot of Shenma’s little life!
He felt like his CPU was burning.

Shang Yayan obviously knew Tang Yuan and nodded to him with a smile.

After saying hello, Tang Yuan was looking at Gao Huaijun with a smile, "You came to this conference without saying hello in advance. Fortunately, I had a whim yesterday and looked at the visitor list carefully, and suddenly found that you are coming to participate. You... Come here and don’t even say hello.”

Gao Huaijun said with a smile, "Why are you talking to me? This is not a college reunion. Why don't you just say hello and join us?"

When Tang Yuan heard this, his heart moved!
Indeed, their class held a university class reunion some time ago to celebrate the first anniversary of graduation. Basically everyone participated, except for a few who did not participate. Among them, Gao Huaijun!
There is no doubt that Tang Yuan is one of the most influential figures.

He listened to his father's words and gave up his job. He left Jiankang Bank and worked as an assistant in a small company called Jiahe Capital.

Although at Jiahe Capital, he is just a little guy, but at the level of Jiankang University of Finance and Economics, he is definitely a Zenith star-level figure!

It doesn't matter, let alone an investment company, even if it's an ordinary commercial bank, you can only be an ordinary teller for the rest of your life.

So Tang Yuan received a very big welcome.

However, the only exception was his attitude towards Gao Huaijun.

Logically speaking, Gao Huaijun's previous status in the university was insignificant, and it didn't matter whether he came to participate or not.

However, when everyone knew that Gao Huaijun was the boss of Hillhouse Technology, their eyes were full of shock.

Tang Yuan couldn't forget that at that moment, dozens of people in the room were silent for five minutes.

Especially Gao Huaijun's ex-girlfriend, Lin Xiaoyu's disbelieving and regretful eyes left a deep impression on him.

"Then why didn't you go to the last class party? If you didn't go, you couldn't even find someone to pay the bill." Tang Yuan came to his senses and couldn't help but laugh.

"Hi! It makes no sense, and I really can't spare the time to release new products during this period." Gao Huaijun said lightly.

Tang Yuan nodded.He knows that indifference can sometimes save 80% of trouble.

People who really make a lot of money tend to be very indifferent to feelings.

For people like Gao Huaijun who have reached a certain level of society, it is not that the road is easier when they have more friends, but that the road is easier and they have more friends.When the road is difficult, you have few friends, but when the road is easy, you don’t need many friends anymore.

This is probably the core reason why he refuses this kind of ineffective social interaction.

"You, Hillhouse Technology, may be watched by some of the company leaders participating in the meeting today." Tang Yuan changed the subject and teased.

Gao Huaijun asked him with a smile, "Is it because of the product M3?"

Tang Yuan nodded, "Yes! M3, the so-called MP4, actually dares to stand in the price range of more than 2000 yuan. Now many companies are inquiring about the role of Hillhouse Technology. This time, it is really the industry People are scared, that is, because your fame has been short-lived, otherwise this position would not have been given to you."

Gao Huaijun laughed loudly and said, "You VCs are so well-informed that you can get all kinds of information. Have you got our internal core sales data?"

After saying that, he gave him an intriguing look.

Tang Yuan was embarrassed, he was just a little guy. If it weren't for the fact that he and Gao Huaijun had an old relationship, he probably wouldn't be able to talk, let alone take the initiative to joke.

He was very aware of this rapid change in social status.

"This matter is a very good point. Wouldn't your company take this opportunity to raise a Series A and estimate a good price?" Tang Yuan asked tentatively, seemingly jokingly.

"Let's take a look! Now Hillhouse Technology is actually not particularly short of money. In addition to money, we still care about other resources." Gao Huaijun said with a faint smile.

On the surface, although Gao Huaijun is not anxious about Series A, he has actually been thinking about it for a long time.

After all, the R&D staff will now increase to more than 500 people.

Such a huge expenditure would be stressful for even an electronic technology manufacturer worth hundreds of millions, let alone him.

The next heavyweight product is about to be launched, so this Series A financing is actually on the agenda!

Hillhouse Technology, relying on Gao Huaijun's information gap, is about to usher in a blowout development in the foreseeable future.

In view of the previous turmoil, A-round financing requires better resources and backing, so in Gao Huaijun's definition, financing money is the main thing, but not all.

Therefore, it is in Gao Huaijun's plan.

There are several principles for this most critical start-up round of financing.

The first one is not to accept investment from unrelated industries. Boss Mei, a real estate developer, who only throws money around, will not accept any investment.

The second is that they do not accept financing from foreign investment. Not to mention that they are still very weak now and have few bargaining chips when negotiating with foreign banks. It is perfectly normal for them to be directly exploited by giants like foreign banks. When the time comes, they will still If he wants to find someone to infiltrate the board of directors and interfere with normal operations, then he really wants to cry without tears.

The third is that it is best to be an investor who is knowledgeable but does not interfere with one's own management practices, has a certain background and can bring resources within the industry. Only such investors can maintain their holding and control after the A round of financing. security.

Logically speaking, Tang Yuan, as a junior, is not qualified to participate in this kind of meeting. Usually, the lowest level to participate is the middle-level manager level. But now it is very interesting to see him appear!

But, recruiting someone to invest in Series A is not investment. Anyway, in the first round, Hillhouse Technology doesn’t want to find strong investors who are difficult to cooperate with, so it doesn’t matter if Hillhouse Technology contacts them!
