Seeing Lu Heng's natural expression, Chen Ou's serious face gradually relaxed.

However, he firmly shook his head in response to the other party's well-intentioned suggestions.

"First of all, I have to thank you for your kind help, but Jumei Youpin does not need any more investment."

Lu Heng asked curiously: "Don't you need it temporarily, or will you never need it?"

Chen Ou hesitated slightly, but still shook his head firmly: "If possible, I don't want more investors to enter the company besides you."

In fact, since he experienced betrayal when starting a business abroad, Chen Ou has a strong sense of crisis and is very persistent in power.

Returning to China to look for investors was a last resort.

But after introducing Lu Heng, a powerful investor, he almost never revealed the idea of ​​financing to the outside world.

Even when Lu Heng made additional investments last year, he would rather obtain high amounts of funds through a gambling agreement than give up a large amount of shares.

Although Jumei Youpin is now in a stage where it is in great need of funds, in Chen Ou's view, he has already passed the initial difficult stage, and he only needs to endure it in the future.

"Actually, Director Lu, you don't have to worry about the company's funding problems. There are ways to be generous if you are rich, and there are ways to develop if you are short of money. I would rather be tight on money than having plenty of money!"

Chen Ou smiled gently, and the sincere smile on his face made people get close to him unconsciously.

"When we are short of money, it is the time to test me and even the entire team! How to squeeze out the value of a dollar from every penny. This is what a top entrepreneurial team should do. I am used to this state.

If you really want to attract some investment, if I suddenly have money, it may not be easy to operate, and some choices may seem more casual."

Lu Heng listened quietly and did not refute until the end.

He had to admit that compared with the entrepreneurs he had come into contact with before, Chen Ou was a very unique person.

Others think that the more funds on hand, the better, but he thinks that just enough is enough.

Others think that more money will make it easier to do things, but Chen Ou thinks that less money will make more money. The former is the full deployment of resources, and the latter is the ultimate utilization of manpower.

It's hard for him to give an evaluation, but he respects Chen Ou's ideas.

"Okay, if you really need this, you can still come to me."

Lu Heng stood up, patted Chen Ou's shoulder with a smile, declined Chen Ou's dinner invitation, and left Jumei Youpin.

The purpose of his visit today has been achieved. The betting agreement has come to an end and he has contributed a key advertising copy to Jumei Premium. How the company will develop next is no longer his concern.

The business trip in Guangzhou did not end after Jumei Youpin and his party.

Lu Heng also took the time to visit Li Xueliang and learn about YY's current situation.

There was a lot to learn, and Lu Heng still needed to digest it for a while, but in summary, it was very good.

In Li Xueliang’s words, “yy, which was launched in 2008, now has more than 200 million users three years later, and the latest round of financing has received a full US$100 million in investment. There is no better result than this.

And next, yy will create more history!"

At the private dinner between the two of them, Lu Heng and You Rong were stunned while listening to Li Xueliang excitedly thinking about the future.

This time, he has really grown up with yy. It is indeed gratifying to see yy achieve its current achievements.

Although compared to its competitor Tencent, YY's size is not worth mentioning, but purely from the perspective of the Joyful Era itself, a scale with a valuation of more than one billion US dollars is shocking enough!

One billion US dollars, yes, YY is now considered a unicorn company.

However, due to the low-key development strategy pursued in the past few years, there were not many external reports, and its reputation is smaller than that of Ele.me.

But in fact, when YY invested in the last round of Tiger Fund, the other party gave a valuation of one billion US dollars.

Otherwise, Li Xueliang would not have been able to obtain a full US$100 million in Series E financing!

However, Lu Heng seemed much calmer regarding Li Xueliang's excitement.

Putting down his chopsticks, Lu Heng handed Li Xueling a cigarette.

"Xue Ling, don't get carried away. You may have to make good plans for the next step for the company."

Li Xueling took the cigarette but before lighting it, facing the cool early summer evening breeze, he looked at Lu Heng in confusion.

Lu Heng did not show off and said straightforwardly: "It's time for you to consider listing the company!"

When he heard the word listing, Li Xueling's eyes lit up and he became even more excited than before.

Probably anyone who is engaged in Internet entrepreneurship dreams that one day his company will be able to go public!

But after getting excited, he couldn't help but frown.

"Lu Heng, are you thinking too early?"

"Is it early? Do you think it's too early?" Lu Heng asked back.

Li Xueliang said of course: "I think the company can still accumulate for a while before going public! Although our number of users has exceeded 200 million, this number can still increase. In January, Tiger Fund invested in us.

It also shows that it is optimistic about the company’s prospects.”

Li Xueliang spoke little by little, and his originally confident tone gradually slowed down after seeing Lu Heng's silent listening attitude.

He attaches great importance to this man whose influence on him is second only to Lei Jun.

You won’t look down on others because of their age, and you will even humbly ask for advice because of their excellence!

He looked at Lu Heng tentatively, "Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Lu Heng shook his head: "You are right, Tiger Fund is a world-famous hedge fund, and its professionalism is beyond doubt. Since they are optimistic, they can't go wrong."

"Then you still"

Lu Heng looked seriously at Li Xueling, an old man who was already 38 years old and was about to turn 40.

When we first met him, he was fat and irritable. Now he has a big belly, but his personality is like his belly, becoming more settled and neither arrogant nor impetuous.

"Xue Ling, have you ever thought about it? Generally speaking, for Internet companies, the more financing rounds, the better the prospects. But how many rounds has YY gone through? Five rounds of financing! Brother Jun's angel investment, my first

One round, and the second round led by Tiger Fund, and now Tiger Fund’s fifth round, it’s almost reaching its limit!”

"Let's look at YY and YY. YY has been around for six years, and YY is almost three years old! Don't you think that if a company has been in business for so many years and has not yet gone public, its chances are shrinking?"

Li Xueling was stunned. He had never thought about this.

Even when chatting with other people, he had fantasized about going public, but YY was developing so well, but he restrained himself and wanted to get the best opportunity!

He was afraid that if he traveled a hundred miles, he would be in vain if he rushed to the market.

"I heard that the latest valuation given by Tiger Management to the company is one billion US dollars, which is close to reaching the threshold of unicorn. This is good news. But at the same time, it is also a signal! The era of gatherings has become big and cannot be ignored.

With the acquisition signal in front of us, the only way left is to go public."

Lu Heng said word by word, his tone seemed very heavy.

Seeing that Li Xueliang still couldn't wake up, Lu Heng gave a naked example.
Chapter completed!
