Chapter 189 Sudden Summons
The next day, Wang Jing told Cao Shuai what he and Luo Fan had discussed yesterday.
After hearing this, Cao Shuai frowned and said: "Mr. Wang, we have already invested in Meituan. Now that the group buying market is experiencing a storm and a large amount of capital has withdrawn, Meituan is preparing to pull out all the stops and seize the opportunity to win the group buying market.
I think if I want to invest now, I should invest in Meituan instead of being hungry."
"Mr. Cao, you still don't understand what the boss means. The boss thinks that compared to the group buying market, the food delivery market is bigger, and as long as we win the food delivery market, we can win the group buying market.
Besides, do you think you are the only shareholder of Meituan? Their boss is a rich second generation, and after Meituan’s A round of financing, your 25% angel round shares are now only 20%, and the subsequent BC round of financing
After it's over, it would be nice to be able to keep 10% of the shares.
10% of the shares can't do much, so I don't think we need to hang ourselves from a tree, casting a wide net is the way to go."
After listening to Wang Jing's words, Cao Shuai fell silent. After thinking for a moment, he said: "I know, I will contact Hungry? and get about 20% of their Series A financing."
"That's right! Mr. Cao, we don't need to be too concerned about the boss's wishes for these companies. We can just be like penguins, holding shares and doing nothing, waiting for the money to be divided.
The boss owns about 10% of Meituan and Hungry’s ideas, so he doesn’t need to worry about the rest.
The core business of our company has always been games, news and short videos, and the rest is paving the way for these three businesses."
"I know what to do."
In the next few days, Cao Shuai kept people staring at Are You Hungry?
At the same time, Xiaopozhan headquarters welcomed a group of guests.
The receptionist took the two people to the conference room and served them tea.
"Lao Cai, do you think our financing will be successful this time?" a man with thinning hair asked.
"It should be possible! Xiaopo Station is the largest two-dimensional cultural website in China. They should be able to understand what we want to do."
"Even if you understand, you may not be willing to pay for it! After all..."
Before the thin-haired man finished speaking, the door of the conference room opened. Gao Meng, wearing a well-tailored women's suit and more mature makeup, stepped on high heels and walked into the conference room with his secretary.
The two people stood up quickly when they saw this.
"You two are welcome to sit down, please!" Gao Meng said as he sat down on the main seat.
The two men looked at each other and sat down at the same time.
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Cai, I already know your purpose of coming. We agree in principle on the investment in your studio."
Both men smiled when they heard this.
According to Chinese language, if you disagree in principle, you agree, but it needs to be done quietly; if you agree in principle, you have objections to some minor conditions, and the matter is basically done.
To be honest, Gao Meng didn't pay much attention to this small studio. Generally speaking, she wouldn't come in person for such a small investment, but this studio was named by Luo Fan.
That's why when Gao Meng learned that they were coming to visit, he put down his work and came to see them.
Gao Meng had already investigated the situation of this studio before. Their start-up capital came from a 100,000 yuan interest-free loan from the Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation Center. The office is only 50 square meters, and the free use period is half a year.
The game they make is not a game like 2048 which is completely devoid of technical content and is almost as difficult as Fruit Ninja.
Last month, their first independently produced cute girl game " " was launched.
It's a pity that this game was downloaded only 3,000 times in one month, which can be said to be a success.
Because of this game, their 100,000 yuan starting capital has been spent, and the team began to look for financing.
Unfortunately, the two-dimensional culture is not the mainstream of the market at this stage, and they have been shut out by capital many times.
Most likely, I came to Xiaopo Station this time because Xiaopo Station, like their studio, has a preference for two-dimensional culture.
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Cai, you want 1 million in financing, are you willing to take out 15% of the shares for this purpose?"
They both nodded at the same time.
"This share is a bit small. 15% of the shares in the angel round. After your follow-up ABC round of financing is completed, it would be good to have 5% left. Our expectation is that after the completion of multiple rounds of financing, we can have more than 10% in hand."
shares.”
After listening to Gao Meng's words, Lao Cai immediately said: "Mr. Gao, you misunderstood. We have never thought about multiple rounds of financing. Financing will only be done once. We..."
Before Lao Cai finished speaking, he was stopped by Lao Liu. He shook his head at Lao Cai and then said to Gao Meng: "Mr. Gao, we understand what you mean. I know what you are saying now that we will not accept multiple rounds of financing."
You won’t believe this, Mr. Gao.
But we really have such a plan and will only accept one financing."
"It's a good thing to be ambitious, but it's hard to achieve, so be it! I'll add 1 million more for 20% of your shares, so even if you carry out multiple rounds of financing in the future, we only need to spend some money to replenish the shares, and we can do it
Eventually it held 10% of the shares.
In this case, our future interests can be guaranteed, and you can get more money for development. 5% of the shares will not have a big impact on you. What do you think?"
After listening to Gao Meng's words, the two had a brief exchange and Lao Liu said: "We can accept just an extra 5%."
"Then it's settled, let's find lawyers to prepare a contract for each of us!"
In the afternoon, the lawyers from both sides drafted a financing contract together. Xiaopozhan spent 2 million to conduct angel round financing for MiHoYo Studio and took 20% of the shares.
Half a month later, Cao Shuai also participated in Ele.me’s Series A financing, spending 15 million to acquire 17% of Ele.me’s shares.
Luo Fan is very satisfied with these two investments. Their company can just adopt this model. Just like Penguin, they spend money on shares but do not participate in management and just wait for dividends.
As a reborn person, Luo Fan knows very well which companies will take off in the future. Xingyuan only needs to raise funds in the angel round or the A round to get the most shares at the minimum cost, and the subsequent shareholding ratio will not be too low.
, even if the subsequent financing does not provide the money, maintaining 10% is not a big problem.
Now Xingyuan already has shares in Meituan, Are You Hungry, and MiHoYo? These shares alone will be worth thousands of dollars in a few years.
Just as Luo Fan was immersed in the fantasy of making money while lying down, Ying Qianlong and Jia Ting hurried into Luo Fan's office.
"Boss, no, something happened!" Ying Qianlong opened the door without knocking and said.
"Don't be impatient and tell me slowly. What's wrong?"
"Boss! We received a summons from the court."
