39. Who is your family?

Yang Meng smiled: "Mr. Lin, aren't you kidding?"

"Not." Lin Xiaoguang shook his head and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. I was wondering, what exactly does Ali need to pay so much to be satisfied? And the Love School can just meet Ali's request within its ability?"

As soon as he said this, Yang Meng immediately knew that he was a very rational person.

At present, if any startup company heard such conditions, it would probably think that it was dreaming. Even if it was true, it would be awakened by laughter at night. But it was obviously different. He was not complacent because of the olive branch issued by the cat factory. On the contrary, he was quite calm.

With such a CEO, AiPai can reach this day, obviously it is not just luck.

Before this, he unanimously felt that Aipai, or Lin Xiaoguang, was really lucky. With just a concept of socializing acquaintances, foreign capital came to seed wheel.

You know, when he learned about this later, he was completely stunned.

Are foreigners so much money burning? What is the market trend in the domestic acquaintance social field? People all over the country know? Even though they know that Aipai has no hope, they are still rushing to send money. Isn’t this Shi Lezhi?

But all foreigners are savages and will never lose their minds.

Therefore, when Aipai became bigger and bigger, more and more investors and funds came to the door, proving that acquaintances were not incapable of socializing, he admired those foreigners.

I have to say that in the investment field, they are really awesome. Just one concept can lock in such a company.

Finally it succeeded.

After a series of changes, he dared not underestimate Aipai and Lin Xiaoguang.

At this moment, Yang Meng was not even surprised when he was extremely calm. If the founder, Chen-Ceo, was useless, Ai Pai would not be so successful. Obviously, he is not a fool. It can even be said that in a certain way, he is already better than most entrepreneurs on the market.

There are only one person in the world who can be so excited about such a big support gift package from the Cat Factory.

But from his tone, he seemed to really refuse.

How can this be done? Ali came from Hangzhou all the way, and a company vice president with 300 million users came to his door in person. If he was directly rejected by a small startup company, then what would others think of Ali, Mr. Ma, and how would he think of him in the future?

Mr. Ma doesn’t want face, he doesn’t want face.

After thinking about it, he felt that Lin Xiaoguang might still be too young. I wonder how strong the support from the Ali Group is?

Taking a deep breath, Yang Meng looked at him seriously and said, "You may not have heard it clearly. The traffic entrance I just mentioned includes most of the Ali products, with a total of tens of billions of users. Before that, no company could get such great support from us, and even its own company, there was no one."

"The Love School is the first and perhaps the last one in history."

"This matter is related to whether the AiPeo can gain a place in the social field. I think you should think clearly, rather than make a decision in such a hasty way."

Lin Xiaoguang smiled, picked up the purple clay pot, and added another cup of tea for him.

Then, he looked at Yang Meng and said, "The products with tens of billions of users sound scary, but in fact, they are all repetitive. The product with the most users of your company is Alipay, with 1 billion registered users. As for the first-level traffic entrance, it does not have much effect. Ele.me, reputation has always been at the first-level traffic entrance, but how obvious is the effect?"

It goes without saying that although Ele.me was registered in 2008, two years earlier than Meituan, which was registered in 2010, Cat Factory has fought with Meituan since acquiring Ele.me, but what is the result?

A few years of first-level traffic entrances have passed. Ele.me, which is backed by cat factory, has only gained about 30% of the market share of the takeaway industry.

Meituan is about 60%.

From this perspective, the first-level traffic entrance of Alipay and even Ali is not that effective.

From this we can see that the iron must be strong himself, not hard himself, and the mud cannot support the wall.

On the contrary, the Nine-Grid Entrance and Twelve-Grid Entrance of WeChat are awesome. Look at who has been on the Nine-Grid, including JD.com, Vipshop, Didi, Mobike, Pinduoduo, Meituan Dianping, Tongcheng Yilong, Mogujie, etc.

Just JD.com, Didi, Pinduoduo, and Meituan, you can see how terrifying the traffic portal of WeChat is.

If possible, Lin Xiaoguang would rather come today, the person sent by Zhang Xiaolong. To be honest, he coveted Teng Xun more than Ah Li's traffic entrance.

Unfortunately, since the Aizhai was born, he was destined to stand opposite Weixin.

"Life is such helplessness."

After hearing his answer, Yang Meng finally knew why he could remain calm. Indeed, with the lessons of Ele.me, anyone would think that the traffic entrance of the Ali group was not very good, but even so, looking around the country, which entrepreneur can reject this temptation?

Not everyone is qualified to accept Ah Li’s olive branch.

After thinking about it, he finally advised: "Authentic, the traffic entrance of the Cat Factory is indeed not as good as that of the Tencent, but there is one thing that if you have the support of the Cat Factory, at least the Internet public opinion position is no longer the Tencent. I believe you have seen this, otherwise you would not be your own news platform."

Having said that, Lin Xiaoguang finally gave the answer: "So, I personally tend to cooperate with your company."

Yang Meng was stunned for a short time, and then he realized that his previous statement was not to refuse, but to bargain and belittle the conditions of the cat factory so as to make profits for Aipai.

Well, I really underestimated him, and he smiled helplessly.

Taking a sip of tea and breathing a long sigh, he asked directly: "Then talk about it, how to cooperate?"

"We don't need anything else on the mobile side, Alipay's traffic portal, PC side, Taobao's traffic portal, and others. For this reason, Aipai can only pay one place for the B round of financing, with no less than 3% of the equity." Lin Xiaoguang stared at him and said lightly.

As soon as this sentence was said, Yang Meng was stunned for a little while.

It’s fine for the former, but what does the latter mean? The traffic entrances of the two products are exchanged for only a financial investment opportunity, with only 3% equity. What should I send the beggar?

He smiled a little angry. Who gave you the courage to make you so confident?

Lin Xiaoguang saw that he seemed a little angry and waved his hand: "Mr. Yang, please forgive me. I am not humiliating you. That's right. The countdown to the A+ round of financing has begun, and the valuation is about 5.4 billion US dollars. As for the B round of financing, the minimum valuation is 10.8 billion."

Seeing his face clear, he continued: "The investor has contacted me, and it will officially start the B round of financing from one month to twenty days."

"This financing involves too much funds, with a minimum value of 3% of the equity, with a minimum value of US$324 million. The amount of money is not much or less. The cat factory is rich and powerful. This amount of money must not be taken seriously, but then again, the cat factory has a big business and spends more money. The management may not be willing to pay more funds to bet on the future of Aipai?"

"Do you think so?" Lin Xiaoguang looked at him with a gentle smile.

His praise made Yang Meng feel much more relieved, and the latter smiled: "Then I also thank you for considering our management."

Lin Xiaoguang was shameless and waved his hand, looking as if he was not proud of himself: "You are so polite, this is what I should do. In front of Tencent, we are comrades-in-arms and a family."

Yang Meng is now angry with his shamelessness.

Who is the family with you?
