Chapter 109: Chief, do you think this is okay?
I have to say that Lu Heng’s idea of raising 200 million yuan for Ele.me is really unbelievable.
So Wu Mingming was stunned when he heard this number.
"Director, I remember that when you calculated your net worth last month and assessed the market value of Ele.me, Ele.me was only worth three to four billion in total! You are now planning to raise 200 million, are you going to give up your position as the major shareholder?
, handing the company over to others?”
No wonder Wu Mingming is so excited. Financing is often related to the company's valuation. If Ele.me, which is worth 350 million yuan, wants to raise 200 million yuan in funds, the shares it needs to pay will definitely be an unimaginable share.
It may even cause Lu Heng to fall from his status as a major shareholder.
Even if the shares were divided equally because there were too many investors, Lu Heng still maintained his status as the major shareholder.
However, Lu Heng will definitely no longer be able to maintain an absolute control of more than 50%, and the company may be acquired by others at any time.
Faced with this question, Lu Heng looked at Wu Mingming who was standing still with an excited expression, shook his head and smiled.
He has naturally considered these things, but his views are completely different from Wu Mingming!
"This moment, that moment!"
In the hotel, the tired Xiao Jianguo put down his suitcase and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Wu Mingming handed him a towel to wipe his sweat, "I flew to Shanghai just the day before yesterday, and I asked you to fly to Beijing again today. It's really hard on you!"
Xiao Jianguo chuckled, wiped his sweat randomly, and sat down on the sofa.
"What a hard work, you are young and strong, not to mention that I heard from the director that he is preparing to raise funds! That is money. If enough money is raised, the company will have an easy life in the future. By the way, the director of this financing is
To take the lead?"
Wu Mingming shook his head, "No, it's just the two of us. The head of the department only controls the general direction, and we decide on all specific matters!"
Xiao Jianguo was stunned for a moment, put his hand on his beer belly, and frowned slightly.
"We are responsible for financing, will there be any mistakes? We haven't done any of this?"
"The director said he wanted to train us and let us see the world. After all, everyone will have to be independent in the future."
Hearing what Wu Mingming said, Xiao Jianguo was thoughtful and his expression gradually became excited.
"In that case, let's do it. I also want to meet those venture capital institutions that only exist in books and ppts. What kind of monsters are they?"
Looking at the excited Xiao Jianguo, Wu Mingming smiled bitterly.
There is a big difference in personality between Jianguo and himself. When encountering this kind of thing, he is a little afraid and afraid of screwing up.
But Xiao Jianguo couldn't wait to meet those venture capital investors. In his heart, Jianguo was more adventurous than himself.
"The financing plan is already being prepared and will be available tomorrow night at the latest. In addition, some venture capital investors have begun to contact us. Starting tomorrow, we will go and chat with those venture capital investors!"
"Where is the location?" Xiao Jianguo licked his lips and asked excitedly.
Wu Mingming pointed downstairs, "In this hotel, I have reserved a multi-functional conference room, and also prepared a lot of multimedia documents about the company. It is time for those investors to take Ele.me seriously."
At noon the next day, Yuzi Technology, Lu Heng and Xue Mingxing were sitting in his office eating takeaway food together.
Xue Mingxing's face is now red, and he is completely different from the haggard middle-aged man before.
That's right, the crisis of Youzi Technology has finally passed. Now we are not planning to make a big splash, and we are calming down to develop offline channel construction. The number of website users is also rising in a general but very stable trend, and everything is going well.
aspects of development.
As the CEO, he can indeed breathe a sigh of relief.
While Lu Heng was eating the food, he was chatting with Xue Mingxing about some company matters.
Not only is it limited to the number of users, but one month after the website was launched, there has also been an initial volume of transactions. Although it is small, it also means that Youzi Technology has begun to truly take steps towards success.
Talk about personnel, the market, trading volume, and all kinds of things.
Although this was just a takeaway lunch, the two of them obviously enjoyed themselves very much.
"Speaking of which, the food delivery is quite fast. It arrived in forty minutes. Director Lu, I am very optimistic about your Ele.me company."
Xue Mingxing picked up the clinker packaging belt from Ele.me and praised it.
Lu Heng curled his lips and asked, "Is it too early to say forty minutes?"
In his opinion, this is really not fast. Due to the current technology and personnel management of Ele.me, food delivery time is still a big problem.
For people who are starving and waiting for takeout, let alone forty minutes, they probably want to call and complain before they arrive in thirty minutes.
He put down his chopsticks and said: "This is not fast enough. The average food delivery time is stable within half an hour, which is the normal service level. Now, Ele.me still has a long way to go!"
Xue Mingxing smiled and did not make any comments. In his opinion, this was already very fast.
For example, when buying clothes on Taobao, it usually takes two or three days to arrive. This takeaway can arrive within an hour, which is already outstanding.
After all, people have to cook, package, and deliver goods across the streets.
Lu Heng did not explain too much. Ele.me has indeed spread its outlets across the country, which is why its valuation has soared.
But in terms of service, really, other areas are far behind compared to the Chongqing area where it first developed.
Just at this moment, the mobile phone on Lu Heng's desk rang. Lu Heng stood up and walked to his desk to answer the phone.
"Director, today's first venture capital contact has been completed, and the other party is Sequoia China!"
Sequoia!
Lu Heng reminded himself, this was a golden sign, and asked: "What did the other party say?"
On the other end of the phone was Wu Mingming, who immediately replied: "The other party is very optimistic about the market in which Ele.me operates. They think it has great potential, and their valuation of us is also quite high, reaching more than 600 million. They want to invest 200 million to win
About one-third of the shares!”
In his words, excitement and joy could not help but be revealed.
Compared with the previous conservative valuation made by Lu Heng, Sequoia’s valuation is as high as more than 600 million!
And the amount of investment given by the other party surprised Wu Mingming even more. The amount was 200 million yuan, which met Lu Heng's previous financing estimate.
Wu Mingming even felt that Lu Heng's previous predictions had already predicted today's scene.
However, compared to Wu Mingming's joy, Lu Heng was much calmer.
"Besides, do they have no other requirements?"
Faced with Lu Heng's calmness, Wu Mingming reacted instantly after being slightly uncomfortable.
"They want Ele.me to establish a board of directors immediately after financing, Sequoia China to become an independent director, and send professionals to Ele.me to fill appropriate positions."
After receiving this answer, Lu Heng was not surprised, but instead raised a smile.
"Mingming, what do you think?"
"I don't think it's appropriate. If we follow their investment requirements, we not only get one-third of the shares, but also have the right to speak on the board of directors, especially if we have to hold important positions in the company. This is too passive for us. So.
, I want to delay it for a while and contact a few more venture capital investors or foundations before we talk about it!”
After finishing his words, Wu Mingming asked a little unconfidently:
Chapter completed!
