Peninsula Landlord

Chapter 459 Investment Bank Attack
"Master Yi, what's wrong with you?"

"Why are you so enthusiastic all of a sudden?"

Looking at Chen Fangyi's enthusiasm, Huang Xu hesitated for a moment, unable to figure out what was going on with him today.

Chen Fangyi looked at Huang Xu's hesitant expression and replied with a smile.

"Of course it's been a while since I last saw you, President Xu. I'm so happy to see you!"

"Come here and try the new tea I bought."

"This is the top-quality Baihao Yinzhen that I bought with great difficulty. It is very hard to come across."

Having said that, he came to the tea table and sat down, then called Huang Xu and Huang Chao at the door to come over and sit down.

Then he started to make tea skillfully and poured a cup for Huang Xu and the other person.

"Come, try it and see how it tastes."

"Thank you, President Yi."

Looking at the apricot-yellow tea in front of him, Huang Xu tapped his fingers lightly to express his gratitude, then picked up the teacup.

After taking a careful sip, Huang Xu nodded with satisfaction.

"It has a mellow taste, a fresh aroma, a sweet aftertaste, and is refreshing. It is indeed a good tea!"

"Mr. Xu is still more understanding!"

Chen Fangyi seemed quite happy when he heard Huang Xu's evaluation.

As a southerner, and someone who loves drinking tea, I would basically be happy if I met someone who can understand my tea.

And most importantly, Huang Xu was able to hit the nail on the head and really understood tea instead of just being polite, which made him even happier.

In fact, it's not just tea, many hobbies are the same.

As long as I meet someone who is knowledgeable or has more knowledge, I will be very happy.

However, after being happy, Chen Fangyi changed the subject and complained directly to Huang Chao next to him.

"Unlike some people who don't understand the taste of the tea and say it's not good and has a weird taste."

"Uh~~~~"

Hearing Chen Fangyi's complaints, Huang Chao next to him suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment on his face.

However, he had no intention of refutation. He just lowered his head and drank the tea in front of him in one gulp.

There's nothing he can do about it. When he first tasted the tea, he wasn't used to fermented tea and didn't know much about it, so he just said it was not tasty and he didn't like it.

Then this incident was remembered by Chen Fangyi.

And because of this incident, it was not the first time that he complained about himself.

Huang Xu looked at the two people's familiar complaints, smiled and shook his head, and said nothing more.

After spending a few minutes briefly discussing the varieties and origins of tea with Chen Fangyi, we began the main topic of today.

First, Chen Fangyi, as the company's general manager, briefly summarized the company's changes and achievements over this period of time.

"After four months of development, the company now has 56 employees, and the company has also refined its responsibilities and established"

"Then there is the number of registered users. Now there are more than 62 million registered users, accounting for 45% of the total."

"."

After briefly and orderly reporting on the company's current situation, Chen Fangyi made a final summary.

"In general, the company has firmly established itself as the leading company in the field of women's health management software in China."

“And there is no one in the market that can compete with us.”

"Thank you for your hard work, President Yi!"

Although he had heard it once, Huang Xu was still very focused when listening to Chen Fangyi's report again.

And after Chen Fangyi finished his report, he praised him generously.

"If it weren't for President Youyi taking charge of the overall situation and personally taking care of every detail, the company wouldn't have achieved the current results."

"That's an exaggeration, President Xu."

In response to Huang Xu's praise, Chen Fangyi waved his hands repeatedly.

"I am a few years older than Mr. Xu. To put it bluntly, I just have a little more management experience."

"If we talk about the person who has made the greatest contribution, it has to be President Xu."

"If President Xu hadn't done a good job in early planning and provided the right direction, then no matter what we do, we won't be able to reach the current level."

"."

"."

While Huang Xu and Chen Fangyi were praising each other, Huang Chao, who was watching nearby, sat quietly without any intention of disturbing them.

He looked at the two of them quietly, the way you flatter me and I respond to you, his heart was filled with thoughts.

"I didn't expect that they both had this side."

"Especially Chen Fangyi. If the people below saw him in this state when facing Huang Xu, they would definitely be shocked."

"Mr. Chen, who usually has a gloomy face and is serious, actually knows this trick."

"And Huang Xu, how come I didn't realize that he can do these things?"

"He used to be the little brat who followed me around, but now he has really grown up!"

Just as Huang Chao was watching the two people being polite to each other with a lot of thoughts in his mind, Chen Fangyi and Huang Xu finally stopped after pulling each other for two or three minutes.

At the same time, he raised his cup and took a sip of tea to moisten his dry mouth and tongue, and then returned to the next topic.

"Boss Xu, someone from an investment bank contacted me a few days ago."

“Oh, which company is it?”

Huang Xu didn't feel strange when he heard the news.

Although Mayu Software has only been established for half a year and does not have any profitable projects.

But with such a large user base, those investment bankers will definitely not let it go after seeing it.

Maybe they don’t quite understand now that users in the Internet age are wealth, but when they see such a hot company, they will definitely get involved.

No matter whether there are dates or not, just give it a blow first.

However, Huang Xu's nonchalant attitude made Chen Fangyi stunned for a few seconds.

Looking at Huang Xu's calm appearance, he recalled his excitement when he received a call from the investment bank last year, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

“The old wave pushes the new wave forward, and heroes emerge from the young!”

However, although he was surprised, he quickly regained his composure and continued to explain to Huang Xu.

"There are two companies that have contacted me so far, namely Xiangfeng Huaxing and Zhen Fund."

"Xiangfeng Huaxing and Zhen Fund?"

Hearing this strange yet familiar name, Huang Xu slowly began to recall it from the depths of his memory.

He remembered that he seemed to have seen the names of these two investment institutions when he was investigating Chen Fangyi before.

With the blessing of the rebirth buff, Huang Xu quickly recalled the information he had seen before.

These two companies are the ones that invested in Chen Fangyi’s Rebate Network last year.

Although these two companies are domestic investment banks, their background and strength should not be underestimated.

Although Xiangfeng Huaxing has only been established for three years, it has invested in many companies with the support of Huaxing Capital.

For example, Jumei Youpin, which will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange next year, was successfully invested in less than three months after its establishment.

And they expect to get hundreds of times the return on this investment.

As for another fund, Zhen Fund, although it does not have the strong backing of Huaxing Capital, its founders are Xu Xiaoping, who withdrew from New Oriental after its IPO, and Wang Qiang.

The number of companies invested in is countless, and many of them are listed.

Even many software and companies that Huang Xu is familiar with in later generations have his presence behind them. Now that he is being targeted by these two companies, Huang Xu doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

In the future, as the company develops, it will definitely accept investment or be directly acquired.

But that’s later.

Huang Xu now certainly doesn’t want to accept investment, or doesn’t want to accept their investment.

His target customers are large Internet companies, preferably the top ones.

But the most important thing now is what Chen Fangyi thinks.

So after a little thought, he asked Chen Fangyi who was concentrating on making tea.

"So what is Yi Zong thinking now?"

"Accept their investment? Get two partners?"

"still."

"No, I don't have any ideas right now."

"It's just that an investment bank called me, and I must report it to President Xu."

"Whether or not to accept the investment depends on Mr. Xu's opinion."

When faced with Huang Xu's question, Chen Fangyi decisively removed himself from the situation and threw the question back to Huang Xu.

Although he has only been working with Huang Xu for half a year and Huang Xu is several years younger than him, he still trusts Huang Xu very much.

It may be because the cooperation in the past six months has been quite pleasant and he does not want to lose Huang Xu as a partner.

It may also be because before working with Huang Xu, he admired Huang Xu's series of development plans and control over the future.

Of course, it may also be because Huang Xu is the company's major shareholder.

In short, he didn't want his own ideas to influence Huang Xu's decision.

However, his behavior gave Huang Xu a complete headache.

Originally I only had to consider how to convince the other party, but now there is a lot to consider.

So, he did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought.

After thinking quietly for a while, he raised his head and looked at Chen Fangyi and asked.

"Boss Yi, is there anything missing for our company's development?"

"Money, our company is in urgent need of money now."

Chen Fangyi answered Huang Xu's question directly, and began to explain without waiting for Huang Xu to ask more questions.

"The biggest limitation to the company's development right now is that there is no money in the account."

"Although our software is just a simple menstrual period calculator, it basically doesn't have too many online services and doesn't require too many servers."

"But with a base of more than 60 million, the price of renting a server won't be too small."

"And once you start your plan, those needs will rise dramatically."

"And the sanitary products you mentioned earlier also require a large amount of capital investment."

"Finally, as the company expands, we need a new office space, and the monthly salary expenses are not a small amount."

"There is not much money left in the company's account now."

"oh, I understand now."

After listening to Chen Fangyi's story, Huang Xu nodded, indicating that he understood.

In the early stages of a company’s establishment, lack of money can be said to be a common problem in the industry.

But the company’s lack of money doesn’t mean that they are short of money.

Not to mention that the Korean company's account also contains large deposits from more than 400 franchise stores, which can be used at any time.

Just take his current personal assets, it is not a small amount.

The franchise fees paid by those stores, the commission on decoration equipment, and the commission on various materials every month made Huang Xu directly join the class of wealthy people.

As for Chen Fangyi, although Mayu only has input but no output, he has the cash cow of Fanli.com to replenish his blood.

The model of Fanli.com actually has some similarities with Huang Xu's chain franchise, both of which rely on commissions from transactions.

With this, although Chen Fangyi's net worth is not as high as his own, he is definitely not poor.

So Huang Xu said to Chen Fangyi very calmly.

"Boss Yi, the problem of capital shortage is not a big problem for us, right?"

"Neither of us is short of money. If it's not enough, we can invest some more."

“When the time comes, we will invest according to your shareholding ratio, so you don’t have to worry about your shares being diluted.”

"If you are having trouble with the funds, I can lend you some."

"No need for that. I still have some savings."

Chen Fangyi shook his head and directly rejected Huang Xu's idea.

Just like Huang Xu said, although he is not as rich as Huang Xu, he also has some assets, so there is no problem in investing a part of it.

And to be honest, he doesn't really want to accept investment from an investment bank right now.

According to the company's current situation, even with investment from investment banks, the company's valuation will not be too high.

On the contrary, if we wait until the company's subsequent online shopping projects are launched, the company's valuation will undergo a qualitative improvement.

The reason why he brought it up this time, not only because he didn't want to conceal information and cause a rift between the two of them, but also to test Huang Xu's thoughts again.

Fortunately, Huang Xu did not let him down.

Then he spoke directly to Huang Xu.

"Then Mr. Xu, let's put the financing issue aside for now and invest some money first?"

"Well, put some more into it."

“If we bring in investment banks now, I feel like we will lose a lot.”

Although he had agreed, Huang Xu still looked at Chen Fangyi with some surprise.

He didn't expect that he was actually fooled by Chen Fangyi.

But he didn't feel angry at all, instead he felt a little happy.

It will definitely be beneficial to the company's development if the two bosses can unite their front and have unified ideas.

Then the two began to discuss the amount of investment to be made again.

It is necessary to ensure that the money invested this time is sufficient for the company's subsequent development, and also to ensure that Chen Fangyi and Huang Xu's cash flow can be supported.

Finally, they decided to invest a total of 20 million RMB for the development of the company.

As for why they invested so much, it was naturally because the two of them wanted to do something big.

They plan to prepare millions of sanitary product gift packs costing only one cent each for the registered female users.

Let these registered female users become the first batch of experience centers to promote their company's authorized menstrual products.

And this requires more than 10 million yuan in funding.

However, the benefits of such a high price are also obvious.

If you want to buy these gift packs, you need to bind your bank card or payment information.

Moreover, these sanitary products are carefully selected by them and are high-quality products that are essential for women during their menstrual period.

Once they have experienced it, people will buy their subsequent products at normal prices.

Then their online shopping project can take the first step towards success.

It can even be said that it skipped the initial accumulation and became a well-known shopping website specializing in serving women.

It can be said that there is no disadvantage except that the investment is slightly larger.
