Start with buying a house

Chapter 184 Niu Qiangdong said: "I'm here to borrow money" (two chapters in one)

Ma Huateng is actually a technical talent, not very good at words, and he is relatively low-key in order to belong to the kind of person who makes a fortune with a silent voice.

It is very rare to be able to say so many things on it today.

For Ouyang Dehe, no matter who goes up and says something, it is not very important to him. What is important is how much money the other party invests in Eat.me on behalf of the company. This is the most important thing.

Today he took out 30.00% of the equity. If he fails to complete 50 billion in financing, it will be tantamount to failure.

Because of the A round of financing, Xinghe Group has invested 25 billion yuan, accounting for 15.00% of the shares.

If the B round of financing is not as good as the A round of financing, it would be a bit too unreasonable.

Now that Taobao Company has invested 15 billion, and Penguin has invested another 20 billion, which adds up to 35 billion. Ouyang Dehe is already very relieved. Basically, there will be no problems with the 50 billion financing target.

"At the same time, we also welcome the free entry of Eat Me on Penguin's social platform, and will give strong advertising recommendations, so that everyone can order food on the Eat Me website through our Penguin platform and pay with Penguin Payment. " Ma Huateng continued.

Both Ma Huateng and Ma Wen are not stupid, they are very shrewd people, they seem to be very generous to let them eat for free, enter their portal website, and are willing to carry out free promotion activities.

But this kind of cooperation is actually mutually beneficial and win-win for both parties. The development momentum of Eat Me will naturally get better development and more resources, but it is also very beneficial for Taobao's shopping website and Penguin's social platform. , improving user stickiness.

Whether it's users of Taobao's shopping website or users of Penguin's social software, they will think of eating when they are hungry.

Whether it is the user group of Taobao Company or the user group of an enterprise company, they have one thing in common, that is, they are mainly young people, and most of them are nerds and nerds who are unwilling to go out.

This kind of group happens to be the main customers of Ele.me. They are hungry, but they don’t want to go out to eat by themselves, and they are too lazy to cook by themselves, so they can only order food on Ele.me.

If there is no channel for ordering food from Ele.me on Taobao’s platform, they must go to Xinghe’s platform, enter Ele.me to order food, and then go to Xinghe Mall by the way. The things I plan to buy on Taobao, I place an order in Xinghe Mall by the way. For Taobao.com, it will obviously be a potential loss, and it will even cause the loss of certain old users.

This scenario is not impossible, but very likely.

According to the analysis of Taobao's big data, some users who were very active before gradually became inactive users.

And the time when this change happened happened to be what happened after the website of Eat Me.

This is an important reason why Ma Wen is willing to invest 15 billion yuan in Eat Me, and let Eat Me enter the shopping platform of Taobao.com for free.

As for Ma Huateng, in addition to the same reasons as Ma Wen, there is another reason that Ouyang Dehe has developed into Penguin Company, the largest shareholder other than a company in South Africa, and he has no time to choose .

Regardless of how many of the tradable shares he does not know are held by Ouyang Dehe, the 100 billion new shares issued just a year ago accounted for 14.00% of the company's [-]%, surpassing Ma Huateng's own Number of shares held.

After Ma Huateng finished speaking, Baidu's Li Yanhong came up.

"It goes without saying that I am very optimistic about the development prospects of Chime. After all, we are here at Baidu and have officially launched our Baidu takeout." Li Yanhong said in a teasing tone.

"If we are not optimistic about the food delivery ordering service market, we will not launch the Baidu Food Delivery platform."

"However, as the pioneer of the food delivery platform, the development speed of Eat Me is undoubtedly very amazing, while our Baidu Waimai is just at the beginning, just a toddler for HD."

"In spite of this, although our Baidu Waimai does not have a large market share and only has a presence in dozens of large and medium-sized cities, it has also established itself among the company's white-collar workers and gained a certain degree of popularity."

"So here I have a proposal. I hope to use Baidu to sell this platform. Do you want to buy shares and eat it? I don't know what Chairman Ouyang thinks?" Li Yanhong looked at Ouyang Dehe and asked with a very serious look.

"Of course, Baidu Food Delivery is just in its infancy after all, and we don't have a long-term food delivery platform, so our Baidu Company will invest an additional 10 billion yuan to buy shares." Li Yanhong added later.

A Baidu food delivery company, plus an investment of 10 billion yuan, how many shares should be given to the other party?Ouyang Dehe couldn't help thinking.

However, Ouyang Dehe is very interested in Baidu Company, because Baidu Company's search engine technology is very important for Xinghe Company to compete with Taobao Company in the future.

As we all know, in the merger between Taobao Company and Citigroup Yahu, Ma Wen is most interested in the search engine technology of Yahu.

Taobao Company can develop more rapidly by relying on Yahu Company's search engine technology.

And this is precisely the weakness of Xinghe Company. Although Xinghe Company has also spent a huge price and invested a lot of resources to develop the company's own search engine technology, it is not compatible with the mature search engine technology of Yahu Company and Baidu Company. Engine technology, after all, still has a long gap.

If we can reach a strategic partnership with Baidu, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to StarHub.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Dehe nodded and said: "On behalf of Eater, I would like to express my great welcome to Baidu Takeout. On behalf of StarHub, I am very much looking forward to launching a more comprehensive cooperation with Baidu." Cooperation, such as cross-shareholding, mutual cooperation in various fields, and mutual development.”

After Li Yanhong finished speaking, Niu Qiangdong followed closely to give a speech.

"First of all, I have to be very honest. Among Internet companies, Gold East is still a small start-up company. Although I am very optimistic about the development prospects of Kaleme, I really have no money, so I am not here to invest. Yes, I am actually here for financing, to be precise, I want to borrow money from Chairman Ouyang." Niu Qiangdong said frankly.

Most of the people below were surprised by Niu Qiangdong's speech, and immediately began to discuss.

Although Ouyang Dehe also said that other companies can also raise financing needs here and find investors.

But this is a financing conference held by Eatme. At other people's financing conferences, financing your own company and looking for investors, isn't this the same as poaching someone else's corner?
"As Chairman Ouyang said just now, the market for the Internet economy in the future is very large. I am confident that I will lead Jindong Company to develop and grow step by step. It will not take a few years for Jindong Company to invest in Jindong Company. It will develop to the time of listing." Niu Qiangdong once again lobbied for the financing of his company.

"At that time, today's investors didn't guarantee that they could earn a hundred times the return, but at least they would earn more than fifty times the return."

"I'm sorry! I want to interrupt Mr. Niu Qiangdong. What guarantee do you have? In a few years, you will be able to develop JD.com to a scale of listing, and you can also guarantee that everyone will reap more than fifty times the income? "

A woman couldn't help interrupting Niu Qiangdong's words, and said in a questioning tone.

Everyone looked at this woman, and then at Niu Qiangdong at the same time.

This woman's name is Qi Xin, the founder and director of Tomorrow Capital Venture Capital Fund. She has been active in the Chinese venture capital industry for several years and has had very successful investment cases.

Ouyang Dehe is no stranger to this woman, and he also knows that if it is not because of his early acquisition, in the life before his rebirth, this woman's Tomorrow Capital was the first investor of Jindong Company.

However, in this life, Ouyang Dehe has been intercepted. He became the first investor to invest in Jindong Company, investing [-] million in Jindong Company.

At that time, Niu Qiangdong owed his employees more than 200 million yuan in wages and did not pay them. He was looking for financing and borrowing money everywhere. However, at that time, Jindong Company was in a bad situation. It had just switched from offline to online operations, and the financial pressure was high. The turnover is relatively difficult, and losses have appeared continuously on the books.

We originally talked with an investment company and were willing to invest 500 million yuan in Jindong. However, after the other party invested 100 million yuan, they saw that Jindong Company lost another 100 million yuan that month and did not want to invest the remaining 400 million yuan.

At that time, the business war between Xinghe Company and Zheduoduo was widely spread, which also made Niu Qiangdong pay attention to Xinghe Company.

After some research, Niu Qiangdong discovered that the business philosophy of StarHub is very similar to that of his JD.com, which is also based on a self-operated Internet economy. Your time is almost the same as that of his JD.com Almost, but the speed at which he develops step by step is much faster than his Jin Dong.

This made Niu Qiangdong admire Ouyang De and the founder very much. After all, he has a deep understanding of how difficult it is to start a self-operated Internet company and develop rapidly.

But this can't be blamed on Niu Qiangdong, after all, he doesn't know that Ouyang De and the way to get money are much easier than him.

Even if no one invests, he can still develop Xinghe Company, but the time will be later and the speed will be slower.

Sometimes what he needs is not the funds invested by the other party, but the various talents, management systems, and development experience that the other party can provide.

For example, his cooperation with the Wall Consortium has allowed him to gain a lot. It is not simply a simple use of money, which can be constant.

And now he really wants to cooperate with Baidu Company, even cross-shareholding, because he has taken a fancy to the other party's search engine technology, which can enhance the development strength of StarHe Company.

As for how many billions Baidu invested in it, Ouyang Dehe didn't think it was that important.

Liu Qiangdong himself didn't know, why did he go to Ouyang Dehe?He didn't even think that Ouyang Dehe would invest in his Jindong Company, and the investment was a huge sum of 1 million yuan.

When Ouyang Dehe received him warmly and asked him how much money he needed, Niu Qiangdong actually only wanted 200 million yuan to pay the wages owed to the workers.

As a result, Ouyang Dehe smiled and said, "Let's invest 1 million yuan first!"

"It doesn't take so much, I can get through this difficulty with 200 million yuan." Niu Qiangdong said hastily.

"You! You need to have a long-term vision, develop faster, and have more courage. How can you do without funds! Time waits for no one!" Ouyang Dehe patted Niu Qiangdong on the shoulder and said.

"But! Are you not afraid that I will lose all your money?" Niu Qiangdong still said in disbelief.

"If you lose, you will lose! I believe you, this [-] million is spent, if you don't have enough, just ask me for it." Ouyang Dehe said without showing much concern.

"Although I am actually short of money and owe a lot of debts, 1 million yuan is not a very important thing to me. It is not much if I have it, and I don't feel that there is nothing less without it."

"That's because you have money. It's different like me. You can't borrow millions of dollars." Niu Qiangdong said with a wry smile.

"Hehe! One day, sooner or later, you will not take 1 million yuan seriously. In fact, there is too much money, which is just a number. How much money can you afford?" Ouyang Dehe shook his head and said.

After that, during the earthquake disaster in Xichuan last year, Ouyang Dehe donated several 10 billion yuan in money and materials, which convinced Niu Qiangdong again. To the Lord of Billions.

If we say that in 10, tens of billions of yuan were donated for the earthquake relief work.

But in 10, Ouyang Dehe and his Starlight Charity Fund donated everywhere to build Starlight Hope Primary School, Starlight Hope Middle School, and even built two Starlight Universities. The money spent was another several billion yuan. This is definitely not just for the sake of eyeballs, but really doing good deeds.

Niu Qiangdong has spent all the 1 million yuan he invested according to what Ouyang Dehe told him. The company's scale has expanded a lot and the transaction volume has also increased significantly, but he has no money again.

Moreover, he is also facing a strong competitor, and he needs money to launch a counterattack, defeat the opponent, and compete for a larger market.

At this moment, Niu Qiangdong received the invitation letter for the financing conference of Eat What, and he came to ask for investment from Ouyang Dehe.

Niu Qiangdong naturally recognized who this woman was.

In 1, Niu Qiangdong had just received an investment of [-] million yuan from Ouyang Dehe. This woman named Qi Xin had approached him and wanted to talk to him about the investment.

However, Niu Qiangdong has already received an investment of 1 million yuan, so naturally he will not discuss any investment with her again, and the two of them have this fate.

"No reason, just because I am the founder of Gold East, and Chairman Ouyang, the founder of Xinghe Company, is the investor of our Gold East Company." Niu Qiangdong looked at Qi Xin and said.

"May I ask this lady, is this reason enough?"

Everyone exclaimed again. No one thought that Ouyang Dehe would be an investor of Jindong Company. It's no wonder that the founder of Jindong Company dared to say such a thing.
