Chapter 191 A bright future

Xiong Xiaoge did not hesitate at all this time, and decided on the spot to raise Series B financing for Campus Network, and he directly wanted to take half of the financing share.

Just as IDG's lawyers were present, Qin Shaoyan called his legal team over again, and the two parties began to draw up a letter of intent.

Xiong Xiaoge had completely given up after reading the plan and knew he could not delay it any longer.

The value of the campus network is becoming more and more prominent, and there are many venture capital investors eyeing it, all wanting to get a piece of the pie.

Although IDG has priority investment rights, it cannot delay for too long.

What's more, Qin Shaoyan is obviously not in a hurry, he has other sources of funds on hand, and may even be able to obtain bank loans through connections.

Xiong Xiaoge came here to make money, not to vent his anger on Qin Shaoyan. He was also afraid that Qin Shaoyan would start talking loudly again, and then the conditions for a five billion round B round valuation would no longer exist.

However, Qin Shaoyan was still very honest this time. He agreed that five billion would be five billion and did not increase the price any more.

After both parties successfully reached an agreement, the atmosphere relaxed.

Xiong Xiaoge became more and more curious about Qin Shaoyan's words. After all, this guy was very famous in the gaming industry.

"Where will Campus Network be listed? Hong Kong or New York?"

"Isn't this a bit difficult?" Xiong Xiaoge hesitated.

"When the online game project is completed in a few months, Mr. Xiong is welcome to come and take a look." Qin Shaoyan continued, "Bring your game industry professionals over here, and I will show you what a profitable online game looks like."

Xiong Xiaoge himself estimated that the market value of the campus network could reach 30 to 40 billion US dollars, which was quite good. Unexpectedly, Qin Shaoyan dared to think even more.

"I hope so." Xiong Xiaoge also sighed, "We still have to rely on Mr. Qin to work harder and lead the campus network to achieve great results again."

Faced with Qin Shaoyan's words describing a bright future, Xiong Xiaoge also felt happy, "Then I'll wait and see."

"Okay, Mr. Qin must remember to call me when the time comes, so that this old antique like me can open his eyes." Xiong Xiaoge nodded and agreed.

"If the market value cannot exceed US$60 billion, wouldn't Mr. Xiong's investment in the campus network be in vain?" Qin Shaoyan said confidently, "Five billion US dollars is just a conservative statement. My goal is US$80 billion to US$ billion. ”

From establishment to listing, Campus Network only took three years, which is quite fast.

"Five billion dollars?" Xiong Xiaoge was a little surprised, "Is Mr. Qin so optimistic?"

"After the layout is completed next year, the campus network can plan for an IPO." Qin Shaoyan complimented: "At that time, Mr. Xiong will still need more guidance. I am not good at dealing with securities companies."

"It's not difficult at all." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "Facebook is the American campus network. Its valuation will definitely exceed 20 billion US dollars in two years. Our original project must reach one-third of that. Bar."

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said to Xiong Xiaoge: "Congratulations to Mr. Xiong, you have once again successfully obtained 10% of the shares of Campus Network. In the future, Campus Network will use amazing rates of return to prove Mr. Xiong's far-sighted investment vision."

Xiong Xiaoge also became happy when he thought that the campus network was going to be listed.

"What's more, our business model is more complete. Just one online game can bring NetEase's market value to US$80 billion."

People in the industry, both in Europe, America and China, are all talking about him. Qin Shaoyan should have two brushes.

"Of course it's New York." Qin Shaoyan said without hesitation, "A high-quality project like the campus network will definitely be very popular in the United States, and its market value will definitely exceed five billion US dollars by then."

"It will also give Mr. Xiong some reassurance and see why I dare to ask for a valuation of 200 billion."

"Once our campus network's online games are launched, they will definitely be better than NetEase's."

"Don't worry, just leave these to me." Xiong Xiaoge agreed happily.

"It's a pity that Mr. Zheng didn't come today." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "otherwise, the Series B financing would have been finalized directly today."

"It doesn't matter. I'll convince them at Sequoia." Xiong Xiaoge was in a good mood and began to take care of everything. "Even if Sequoia doesn't invest, I'll find another venture capital institution for you and get the Series B funds for you." together."

Xiong Xiaoge left the campus network in a happy mood, and called Zheng Nan when he got back to the car.

"Mr. Zheng, Sequoia, please prepare. We will finalize the Series B financing of Campus Network in the next two days."

Zheng Nan seemed a little surprised, "Mr. Xiong, your attitude has changed too quickly. Why don't we continue to stretch Qin Shaoyan?" "No more." Xiong Xiaoge sighed, "It's meaningless."

"Why is it meaningless?" Zheng Nan seemed a little unwilling, "Dazhong.com has already started to take action, and there will be results soon."

"Mr. Zheng, don't wait for Dazhong.com," Xiong Xiaoge advised, "Yang Botao can't beat Qin Shaoyan."

"We at IDG are not planning to continue to invest in Dazhong.com, and you Sequoia people should also withdraw, otherwise it will be too late."

Zheng Nan was stunned for a moment, "But we have already invested in Dazhong.com."

"..." Xiong Xiaoge held it in for a long time and could only comfort him, "Just think of spending money to teach you a lesson."

Zheng Nan immediately became anxious, "Why spend money to buy a lesson? Mr. Xiong, please explain clearly."

"You will come back first and go to the campus network to find Qin Shaoyan." Xiong Xiaoge said, "You will know why after meeting him."

Xiong Xiaoge breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone. Fortunately, he had recalled the people from IDG and canceled the financing project for Dazhong.com, otherwise he would have really lost money.

However, IDG still has some shares in Dazhong.com and must find a way to dispose of them.

……

"cheers!"

At the signing ceremony for Dazhong.com’s new round of financing, representatives of the parties that had just reached an agreement each raised their glasses and bumped into each other.

Amid the crisp sound of the glass hitting, the crimson wine rippled.

Everyone had a smile on their face, especially Yang Botao, who was very high-spirited and exuded the confidence of a successful person.

After several rounds of fierce negotiations, Dazhong.com finally released 25% of its equity at a valuation of 40 billion. SoftBank and Lenovo accounted for the majority, dividing 30%. The remaining 10% was shared by Hillhouse Capital, Dachen Venture Capital, Four companies, China Sequoia and Baring Investment, won.

With money in hand, Yang Botao became more confident. He swept away his previous decadent and nervous state and regained the arrogant feeling he had at the beginning of his business.

Peng Xiaolin, the vice president of Lenovo Investment, came over holding a wine glass and clinked the wine glass with Yang Botao. "Congratulations to Mr. Yang. I hope Dazhong.com will reach a higher level."

"Thank you, Mr. Peng, for your kind words." Yang Botao responded with a smile.

The passionate exchange between the two people made everyone forget the previous tense negotiations. Li Wanzhou next to him suddenly remembered that his cousin secretly cursed Peng Xiaolin as a son of the beach.

"Mr. Yang, when the first batch of funds is received, will Dazhong.com start the Popular Star campaign?" Peng Xiaolin asked casually.

"This event has already started." Yang Botao said with a smile, "Our product manager has entered the preparatory stage. Everything is ready and all we need is Mr. Peng's help."

"Don't worry, Mr. Yang, the funds will be available soon." Peng Xiaolin was very excited and assured Yang Botao, "I will urge them to pay when I get back."

"Thank you, Mr. Peng."

"But I still want to ask." Peng Xiaolin suddenly changed the subject, "Besides the popular star, does Mr. Yang have any further plans?"

"Of course." Yang Botao replied without hesitation, "Next, Dazhong.com will make bolder attempts in the field of e-commerce and provide greater subsidies for users' online shopping."

"In addition, we will lay out offline sites on university campuses in Shanghai, which I call the College Student Home Plan."

Peng Xiaolin was a little surprised, "College Student Home? It seems that the campus network has a similar project."

Yang Botao said with an unchanging expression: "I have been planning this plan since last year. I thought the market was immature before, so I didn't come up with it and let the campus network take the lead."

"But it doesn't matter, we have the advantage of being a latecomer."

"Then let's wait and see, waiting for the good news from Mr. Yang." Peng Xiaolin raised his glass with a smile, "When you wait for the Popular Stars finals, don't forget to invite me to participate."

"I will definitely leave a VIP seat for Mr. Peng."

Yang Botao and Peng Xiaolin clinked their wine glasses again, drank the wine in one gulp, and smiled at each other.
