Chapter 65 The trouble of being famous(1/2)
After Zhang Yida finished speaking, no one came back to their senses for a long time.
Shen Beipeng took the lead in applauding, and everyone also applauded.
A tall, strong man about forty years old looked at Zhang Yida and asked:
"Mr. Zhang, we at GGV recognize Ruixiang's future development prospects. But the current Ruixiang, to be honest, cannot support a valuation of US$3 billion."
This is Tong Shijie, the managing partner of GGV, who once led the investment in Xiaomi’s Series A financing.
Another man with a beard also shook his head and said:
"Mr. Zhang, Qiming believes that Ruixiang's current valuation is US$1.5 billion, which is more reasonable. Compared with the Series A, it has tripled. The valuation has tripled in half a year, which is enough to qualify for Ruixiang." Performance has accelerated.”
This is Gan Renping, the managing partner of Qiming, who has invested in many successful projects such as Ctrip, Dianping, and Bilibili.
Zhang Yida smiled and did not answer.
Shen Beipeng couldn't help but speak, and after looking around at everyone, he said:
“As a leader in the Internet financial industry, Ruixiang Jinke has hundreds of millions of users, and its current competitors are only the four giants BATJ.
Only Ahri spun off Leech Financial, and Jackma transferred the ownership of Paypay to Leech Financial without the knowledge of Ahri Group’s board of directors.
His approach obviously will not allow outsiders to get involved in Leech Financial Services. Everyone who wants to invest cannot yet invest!
And as an investor, I am disgusted with his behavior of ignoring the rights of investors!
The other three giants have not separated their financial services and run them separately, so they cannot invest if they want to.
As an emerging, independent Internet financial company, Ruixiang focuses on the development and operation of the mutual financial market.
There is no historical baggage and you can travel lightly. This is the biggest advantage compared to other giants.
The current valuation is US$3 billion, which I don’t think is high. I wonder if you just listened carefully to Zhang Yida’s business analysis?
The business directions he explained may seem many and complicated, but he always focuses on the entire industry chain layout of finance.
After the layout is completed, it will truly be an Internet + financial giant."
Speaking of this, Shen Beipeng raised his head and glanced at the ceiling, took a deep breath and said:
"By then, a brand new giant worth hundreds of billions of dollars will rise. It will become the third pole after AT!"
Shen Beipeng's words were very attractive, and five investors, including Xu Xiaoming, began to think about them seriously.
Lin Zhenyang was incited. He tilted his head and stared blankly. He was probably frightened by the huge figure of 100 billion US dollars.
Zhang Yida glanced at Shen Beipeng meaningfully. He was worthy of being a top investor in the country. He had a really sharp vision and he grasped the future trend very accurately.
Afterwards, everyone stopped talking about this topic and talked about other things while eating and drinking.
Two or three hours later, the party also broke up. Before leaving, Shen Beipeng stopped Zhang Yida and whispered:
"They are probably tempted, and they will probably negotiate the price with you next. Just insist on a valuation of US$3 billion and won't let go.
You have to control the heat carefully. If you are really unsure, tell me the situation every time they talk to you, and I will help you make suggestions."
Zhang Yida nodded. Regarding the valuation, he and the Series A investors were both on the same side, and both wanted the company's valuation to be higher.
…
Zhao Erya had just come out of the classroom and was walking back to her dormitory.
I could vaguely hear a group of girls pointing at me behind me.
"Is she Zhang Yida's girlfriend?"
"Hey, my boyfriend was snatched away just like that. I wish I had done it earlier."
"I heard that she got better when she first entered the military training. Could you have done it earlier than her?"
"There is a post on Weiminghu BBS, have you read it? It's called "19-year-old Saonian and his Unicorn""
"The content of the post introduces Zhang Yida's entrepreneurial experience in detail, and also says that his Ruixiang Financial Technology Group is valued at at least US$1 billion."
"It is also speculated above that Zhang Yida still holds at least 60% of the entire group company's shares and is worth more than 600 million U.S. dollars, nearly 4 billion yuan."
"Wow, you are so rich!"
"This Zhao Erya is really lucky. She has a handsome and rich boyfriend."
"Haha, men become bad when they have money! Just watch, maybe one day the two of them will break up. If they still haven't broken up in a year, I'll treat everyone to dinner. How about it? Do you dare to fight this with me?
bet."
"Tch, maybe that person is really Ai Nan?"
"Yes, this Zhao Erya is also a well-known beauty in the Chinese department, and she still has some charm."
"What do you know? House flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers! Nowadays, there are many rich men who are not mistresses."
…
Zhao Erya couldn't stand listening anymore, so she turned her head and glared at them fiercely.
The group of girls quickly shut their mouths, turned their heads and walked away in a panic.
Zhao Erya's pretty face was full of sadness. This was the first time she heard people gossiping about her and Zhang Yida.
After Ruixiang completed a large amount of US$50 million in Series A financing in November last year, Zhang Yida became famous in school.
On the Beijing University Weiming Lake BBS, there were gradually posts discussing his fortune history and the business model of Ruixiang Company.
This is nothing, but as many media interviewed Zhang Yida some time ago, they also wrote articles:
"The total number of registered users of TouRongHui One Account exceeds 100 million, and another small Internet giant is born"
"New unicorn, Ruixiang Jinke's valuation exceeds US$1 billion"
"19-year-old college student entrepreneur, financial technology leader worth over 4 billion"
…
With the fermentation of these media reports, Zhang Yida became popular! He became completely popular on the Internet!
Many netizens, including students from Peking University, are discussing Zhang Yida. Most people are discussing his entrepreneurial history and his family.
There are also a small number of people gossiping about his relationship history, especially the girls from Beijing University.
As the girlfriend of a celebrity in school, Zhao Erya naturally stands in the spotlight.
Many people gossiped about her and Zhang Yida behind their backs. Some said that she was lucky enough to find a potential stock, while others said that she and Zhang Yida, a talented and beautiful woman, were a perfect match.
These are all good to hear, and some are bad to say.
She is said to be a money-worshiping girl, a scheming bitch, and has a knack for seducing men.
Zhang Yida has no feelings about all this, because he only comes to school occasionally and spends most of his time in the company starting a business.
So whether it's online or in school, he can't hear many words, and if he hears them, it won't cause any pressure or trouble to him given his personality.
But Zhao Erya was different. She was raised pampered. From kindergarten to university, she was supported by her parents and teachers wherever she went.
Now facing so many rumors and rumors on campus, she is really under a lot of pressure.
Many people were using magnifying glasses to observe his and Zhang Yida's private life, and she was a little at a loss.
The frowning Zhao Erya returned to the dormitory and found that several roommates were there. After saying hello to everyone, she sat by the bed and stayed there in a daze.
"Ya Ya, what's wrong? Who made my little Gongju unhappy?" The speaker was a round-faced girl with short ear-length hair and big glasses. She hugged Zhao Erya and looked like a big brother.
The way he stood up for his younger brother.
This is Zhao Erya's classmate and roommate Tang Xianzhi, nicknamed "Fairy". She is quite carefree and a tomboy.
"Fairy, I'm fine, don't worry about me." Zhao Erya turned her head and looked at Tang Xianzhi, who looked concerned, and said softly.
"No, something must be wrong with you. You are not like this at ordinary times." Tang Xianzhi looked unbelieving, then put his head to Zhao Erya's ear and said slightly:
"Did you have a quarrel with Zhang Yida? Do you want me to call him and scold him to death to vent your anger?
I’m so tired of living that you dare to bully the people in our dormitory.”
After speaking, Tang Xianzhi cracked his knuckles and looked like he was about to fight.
"It has nothing to do with him. It's just that I'm in a bad mood." Zhao Erya shook her head and said in a low mood.
"Hey, what's going on with our Four Billion Madam?" A beautiful woman with a slim figure and exquisite makeup approached the two of them and asked, holding a bag of potato chips in her hand.
This is Zhao Erya’s roommate, Tu Jingjing.
"What do you mean? Madam Four Billion? What the hell? Tu Jingjing, what are you talking about?" Tang Xianzhi raised his head and asked in confusion.
Tu Jingjing looked extremely surprised and provoked: "Mrs. Four Billion, you don't even know? Didn't your good sisters tell you this?"
Zhao Erya jumped to her feet, glared at Tu Jingjing and said, "Don't mention that 4 billion lady in front of me. What I like is Zhang Yida, not his money!"
Tu Jingjing said "tsk tsk" twice, looked at Zhao Erya provocatively and said:
"I believe you two are truly in love, but it's useless!
The whole school is saying that you worship money. If you have the ability, go and clarify with them."
After saying that, he spread his hands to express his helplessness.
