Open business day-to-day

Chapter 332 Press Conference

Time flies, and a few days passed in a flash. This morning, Weiyang Technology and Qingman Media held a press conference to officially announce the investment in Qingman Media.

The scale of this press conference is not small, and the specifications are not low. Many news media have received invitations and come to the scene.

Among them, Qingman Media's valuation of 5000 million is a hot spot.

For China in 2011, startup companies with a valuation of 5000 million are definitely not small, and there are not many startup companies in China that can achieve this valuation.

Even higher valuations, such as a group of start-up companies represented by Meituan and DJI drones, have a current market valuation of around [-] to [-] million yuan.

Tsingman Media is also the second company invested by Weiyang Technology with a valuation of 5000 million.

The first company I invested in, with a valuation of 5000 million, was a start-up company on the Shanghai stock market. It was an Internet food delivery company, and the name was "Are you hungry!"

This is the target chosen by Zhao Yan when he went to the Shanghai stock market to investigate after the year. It is said that he used Ele.me to order takeaway when he was working in the Shanghai stock market, so he is very optimistic about its future prospects!

This is also the first shot of Weiyang Technology Investment Fund entering the country.

This start-up company was originally targeted by a venture capital company called Jinshajiang Venture Capital.However, this venture capital firm is not big. It is a small venture capital firm specializing in angel rounds. It is incomparable to Weiyang Technology in terms of fame and strength.

But their boss, Zhu Xiaohu, seemed to have some discernment.

But in the end, Weiyang Technology promised that Weiyang Weibo can be restricted to conduct some drainage for Hungry.

The founder team of Ele.me wisely abandoned GSR Ventures and chose Weiyang Technology.

In the end, Weiyang Technology invested 500 million, accounting for 30.00% of Ele.me's shares, and the investment was considered to be over.

The two parties just signed an investment agreement on the Shanghai stock market more than ten days ago.

As for Qingman Media, it can be regarded as the company with the highest valuation in the province invested by Weiyang Technology, which has attracted a lot of attention, especially the local media.

And the financing amount of 500 million is definitely not small.

After the press conference, Qingman Media not only made headlines in local newspapers, but also many media outlets in the province also participated in the report.

Even some technology-related newspapers and magazines with influence covering the whole country also reported this matter, but they focused on Weiyang Technology.

It's nothing more than Weiyang Technology's move again, investing in a certain company and so on... Let's analyze Weiyang Technology's investment logic and intentions, and comment a few words!

Anyway, it's just pointing out the country, making a few irrelevant nonsense.

In this atmosphere, Qingman Media also began to gain fame and attract more people's attention.

With the endorsement of Weiyang Technology, its future potential and its development prospects have also begun to be optimistic, and many companies have offered olive branches one after another.

Good news kept coming. While Wang Qingman was pleasantly surprised, he did not dare to neglect the company's development.

After separating from Lin Rui that morning, the two communicated again in the evening.Lin Rui suggested to her that as an entertainment media company, it is different from ordinary start-up companies.

Appearance is very important, and efforts to save face must be done well.The nature of the company is different, and there is no need to save as much as other startups.

For an entertainment media company, let alone whether you have strength or not, the key is to let others think you have strength. A stylish and high-end office is essential.

Wang Qingman's response was quick. The next day after the two communicated, they selected a well-decorated high-end office building with an area of ​​[-] floors. She rented three floors at once.

Then he moved from that old-fashioned office building, and now the whole company has changed drastically, and the grade has been directly upgraded.

Originally, the company's office was in an old-fashioned office building with an area of ​​only 800 square meters.All kinds of office furniture are not good either, they were all bought from the second-hand market by Wang Qingman when he founded the company.

Of course, the grade of the whole company goes without saying, there is nothing compelling, and it won't make people's eyes shine.It is the office of an ordinary small and medium-sized company.

Now he has moved into a well-decorated high-end office building.All kinds of office furniture are brand new and of high grade.The company's office area has increased from more than 800 square meters to [-] square meters, which has increased by five or six times, and there have been earth-shaking changes all at once.

Not only are the employees stunned, but also proud.Settling in such an office, Wang Qingman's mood is also very happy.

Of course, all of this is inseparable from Lin Rui's support. At that time, the investment agreement with Weiyang Technology had not been signed, so of course it was impossible to receive money in the account.

It was Lin Rui who transferred the 500 million yuan of private equity for Su Hongxiu to Wang Qingman in advance, so she had the funds to rent such a good office building and exchange such good office furniture and equipment.

Otherwise, the more than 80 yuan in her company account at that time would not be enough!
When the financing agreement with Weiyang Technology was officially reached, and the news of the valuation of 5000 million was officially sent back, all the employees of Qingman Media were a little bit ecstatic.

Originally, we just moved into such a large, high-end and stylish new office, which was enough for everyone to be happy.

I never thought that the next direct financing would be 500 million, with a valuation of 5000 million.Straight from a small, unknown company to a high-quality company with a strong reputation and a bright future.

Afterwards, the boss, Wang Qingman, raised the salaries of all the employees of the company, which immediately made everyone enthusiastic about work and full of expectations for the company's prospects.

At the same time, with funds and fame, Qingman Media also began to expand.

First of all, the most important point is "recruiting people" and expanding the personnel of various departments.At the same time, the company's structure is further improved to lay a solid foundation for the future development of the company.

On the other hand, urgent preparations are also underway for signing contracts with those model internet celebrities, registering self-media accounts on major Weibo and news websites, etc.

……

A few days later, another good news came. After such a long time of negotiation and negotiation, Weiyang Technology finally reached an agreement with Jincheng Real Estate on the acquisition of Lanhai Building.

The final purchase price is set at [-] million, which is slightly lower than the market price, which makes Weiyang Technology very satisfied.

Jincheng Real Estate cashed out in time, so that more funds and energy can be spent on real estate, and they don't care about it anymore.

On NO.16, the two companies jointly held a press conference in a five-star hotel.

The scale of this press conference was very large, not only the local media, but also media from all over the country were attracted.

After the press conference, Weiyang Technology spent [-] million to acquire Lanhai Building, which immediately hit the headlines of the major media, especially the local media, which reported it day after day.

This matter is also a hot topic on the Internet. After all, in 2011, there were not many Internet companies that could spend [-] million to acquire a building.

There may not be more than twenty in the country!
This incident also changed many people's impression of Weiyang Technology.Although this is a start-up company that has just been established for a year, it is definitely a start-up company with deep pockets.

When other start-up companies can only rent low-cost office buildings and save money to attract investment everywhere.

Weiyang Technology not only throws money everywhere for investment, but now directly buys all the office buildings. This is not rich and powerful, what is rich and powerful!
This also makes those small and medium-sized investment companies completely lose their minds. If they want to invest in Weiyang Technology, they really don't have the qualifications.

Of course, for this acquisition, it is impossible for Weiyang Technology to spend [-] million in real money, most of which is still in the bank.

Weiyang Technology invested 7000 million yuan and used the property rights of Lanhai Building as collateral to obtain a bank loan of 5000 million yuan to complete the acquisition.

After this operation, the net assets of Weiyang Technology did not seem to have changed. After spending 7000 million yuan, there was an additional debt of 5000 million yuan.

However, there is an additional building worth more than 3 million yuan under the company's name, and the company's total assets have jumped significantly.

A person with a deposit of [-] in his name is different from a person with a company with billions of liabilities and assets of one billion.

The first person appears to have more net worth, $[-], and no debt.

The other person has zero net worth.

But one may be just a migrant worker, while the other is the boss of a company who drives a luxury car and lives in a villa to go to high-end places.

One may just be a migrant worker all his life, and it is almost impossible to earn [-] million with [-], and the chance of class transition is very small.

Although the other has zero net assets, he is considered a billionaire himself. It is not too difficult to earn [-] million with one billion, as long as he has a little brains and foresight.

Even if you really don't have the ability and brains to lose the company to the sky, as long as you file for bankruptcy according to the law, the company's liabilities are just the company's liabilities and have nothing to do with the shareholders.

Although there may be nothing in the end, compared with the first person, he has the opportunity to choose.

The opportunity to become a real rich man is infinitely greater than the first one.

……

After the acquisition of Lanhai Building, the company has also become busy, especially the administration department.

After the acquisition of Jincheng Real Estate was completed, according to the agreement, the senior management of the building was removed one after another, leaving only the grassroots employees and middle and low-level managers. Now the building has been taken over by the company's administrative department.

As the person in charge of the administrative department, Han Yunsong has been so busy these days that he does not touch the ground, receiving personnel everywhere, counting assets, and maintaining the operation of the building.

Fortunately, Weiyang Technology has also made preparations in advance. Before the acquisition was completed, it had recruited a lot of professionals in this field. After taking over the operation and management of the building, it quickly adapted.

This morning, Lin Rui came out of Wang Qingman's house and came to the company.As soon as he finished the work at hand, Han Yunsong came over to report on his work.

"Mr. Lin, according to your instructions, the various lease contracts of the building have been sorted out!"

Lin Rui nodded and said: "It's so fast, you have worked hard during this time, let me talk about it first!"

Han Yunsong said with a smile: "It's not hard. It looks hard to do such a thing, but it feels comfortable in my heart."

Then he began to introduce: "According to the previous planning of Lanhai Building, from the [-]th floor down, each floor is divided into several office areas for use by some small and medium-sized companies."

"The [-]th floor up is leased to medium and large companies, and the entire floor counts as a whole."

"Because our place belongs to the east area of ​​Los Angeles, not the central area, there are not many companies, and the business is not as developed as there, so the occupancy rate of the building is not too high."

From the 30.00th floor down, the occupancy rate has reached more than [-]%, but they are all small and medium-sized companies with several hundred square meters of office space, and several companies share the first floor.

Moreover, the various leasing contracts are relatively complicated, and there are many companies involved, which is a bit troublesome.

"Above the [-]th floor, apart from us, there are only four companies, each occupying one floor."

"They are the 21st, 23rd, 25th and 29th floors respectively. Now two of the contracts are close to expiration, and they are negotiating contract renewals."

"However, due to the sale of Lanhai Building during this period, the signing has not been completed. The people in charge of the two companies came to me for this matter yesterday."

Lin Rui knocked on his desk and said, "Don't even think about renewing the contract. With the expansion of the company, the demand for office space is increasing, and we will use it ourselves next time."

"Actually, I have an idea, starting from the 33th floor of our old office area, going up to the [-]rd floor, a total of [-] floors of office area."

"Except for our company, all companies will be cleared. Afterwards, they will be uniformly decorated and divided into functional areas. Each business department can directly occupy one floor or even several floors. The office area of ​​nearly [-] square meters is enough for our company to expand on a large scale. A year and a half."

"It's just below the [-]th floor. There are a lot of companies involved and it's more complicated. We can take it easy, but we won't sign any more after the renewal contract."

"With the nearly [-]-square-meter office area above, it will be enough for a while, and the tenants below can be cleaned up slowly. There is no need to worry about this."

Han Yunsong nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Lin, I understand. Actually, I'm also thinking about this these days."

"However, what about the other two companies on the [-]th floor up? Their leases still have a long period of time. I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to deal with."

Lin Ruidao: "You can negotiate with the other party, compensate them some money, and let them quit the rent."

"If it doesn't work, then just give the other party liquidated damages. How much is the liquidated damages on the first floor?"

Han Yunsong thought for a while and said: "Jincheng Real Estate was also very cautious before, and the occupancy rate was not high, and the company that settled in did not think that Lanhai Building would breach the contract, and the liquidated damages booked were not high!"

"It is roughly equivalent to the annual rent of a floor, which is about 100 million."

Lin Rui nodded and said: "Since this is the case, it will be easy to handle, first courtesy and then soldiers."

"First negotiate with the other party about the lease cancellation, and compensate the other party according to their losses. If they don't agree, then pay them liquidated damages directly and start to clear the lease."

Han Yunsong said solemnly: "Okay, I know Mr. Lin!"

Lin Rui thought for a while and said: "Although there is no need to rush down from the [-]th floor now, you still need to use snacks, and you can do the same in the future."

The two chatted for a while, and Han Yunsong still had a lot of things to deal with, so the conversation ended.

After staying in the company for a while, seeing that there was nothing to do, Lin Rui started to get off work!
