The Happy Life of the Reborn Dad

Several people chatted for a while in Xia Zekai's office. After seeing that the time was almost up, Xia Zekai asked Jiang Ningning and Ren Ping to watch the three children in his office, and also asked the staff here to bring some food and drinks. Come here, and also leave Geng Yuqin and Wu Jialei to protect them.

The two of them, together with Shen Nanpeng and Zhou Hongyi, went to the Jingyi Hotel near Yingdu Building together.

The distance is not very far, the straight-line distance is only 300 meters.

The last B round financing meeting of Toutiao was held in the business conference hall of this hotel.

Here, Zhang Lidong led people to set up the scene one day in advance.

When Xia Zekai and the others came over, they saw that Zhang Lidong had moved from the gate of Yingdu Building to the gate of Jingyi Hotel, and continued to welcome guests. He was very busy.

"Xia Dong, Luo Dong."

"President Shen, President Zhou, please!"

Seeing Xia Zekai and the four of them, Zhang Lidong hurried over to say hello.

The four capital parties represented by these four representatives are all shareholders of Toutiao, and they are also his 'bosses' in name, but they dare not offend them.

"Lidong, where is Yiming?" Xia Zekai asked him.

Zhang Lidong pointed to the top: "Zhang Dong has already gone up, Xia Dong, I will take you up."

"No, it's not that we don't know the place, we can go up by ourselves, you can be busy." Xia Zekai was not so pretentious and let Zhang Lidong continue to work, and the four of them went in with the staff.

Entering the business conference hall, there are already many people here. At this moment, on the right side of the hall, Zhang Yiming is standing there talking eloquently, surrounded by a circle of capital parties who came here today.

After seeing Xia Zekai and his wife coming in, Zhang Yiming came directly, and also led the capital party who had just surrounded him to come here.

"Brother Xia, sister-in-law." Zhang Yiming shouted.

When he saw Shen Nanpeng and Zhou Hongyi behind him, he shouted politely, "Shen Dong, Zhou Dong."

"Yi Ming, let's start soon." Xia Zekai asked.

"Brother Xia, when Lidong comes in, let's start." Zhang Yiming said.

Xia Zekai nodded: "Okay."

At this moment, when other capital parties saw Xia Zekai, their eyes brightened, and many people wanted to get close to Xia Zekai and have a chat.

There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that Xia Zekai is very likely to become the richest man in China this year. There are no statistics yet. It is not clear whether this statement is true or not. Not as big as expected.

In addition, if the Toutiao C round of financing is completed today, Xia Zekai's wealth may grow rapidly, and as a participant in this financing round, everyone is a little excited when they think about it.

Even the media present from all over the world pointed their cameras at Xia Zekai's side, and some daring media reporters took Mai directly to interview him.

"Hello, Mr. Xia, I'm Xue Wei, a reporter from Beijing Economic Channel. What do you think of this year's Forbes Rich List?" The reporter asked him when he came up.

Xia Zekai was still smiling. He didn't really want to discuss this issue. When the discussion outside was particularly hot, he felt that it was more like starting a fire.

But after thinking about it, he still said: "JACK and I are very good friends, it doesn't really matter which of us sits first, but personally, I prefer that the old horse will be re-elected, and maybe there are other dark horses who will take the lead. Na!"

"Mr. Xia, do you mean that Ma Dong is unlikely to be re-elected? So who do you think this 'dark horse' will be?" Another reporter asked.

Xia Zekai glanced at her, and here comes the one who is thinking about something.

He didn't bother to pay any attention to the reporter who had just arrived, so he directly held his wife's hand and turned his head to the other side.

Why is the Internet world not calm? Xia Zekai once thought that there were more 'groups' who like to tell lies, and he had to find something for you to do if he had nothing to do.

However, what Xia Zekai just said is also a fact. Whether Lao Ma can be re-elected as the richest man on the Forbes Rich List this year is really unknown.

The main reason is that Alibaba's shares have fallen a lot.

After it went public last year, it had a short period of time, and its stock price almost broke 100. However, after the data of last year’s Double Eleven broke the Internet, Alibaba’s stock price also broke through a new high, reaching more than 120 US dollars. One share, the wealth of the old horse has further increased, and even Xia Zekai, Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo's net worth has also risen a lot.

However, after the Double Eleven, and the economic downturn this year, the wages and income of ordinary people are unstable, the money in their hands is tight, and their spending power is also reduced, so that the transaction data of the major platforms of Alibaba Group are all There has been a significant decline, and it has also led to a sharp decline in Alibaba's stock price after it broke a new record high.

Up to now, there are only 85 US dollars per share, which is lower than the 96 US dollars at the time of listing. According to this price, the old horse's net worth has shrunk a lot.

But other people's net worth has not stopped growing, and even some people's net worth has skyrocketed because of different industries and different development conditions.

This is what Xia Zekai said just now. He said it very rationally, but these reporters don't think so. There are always people who want to stir up other people's nerves and make him very annoying!

Luo Xiyun also knew what was going on, and when she saw that there were still reporters coming to interview them, she glared.

Don't say, when Luo Xiyun got angry, others couldn't understand her temper, and they really didn't dare to surround her.

After all, no one knows that 'women are not easy to mess with' these days.

However, after Shen Nanpeng and Zhou Hongyi, who were walking behind Xia Zekai, heard what Xia Zekai said, they agreed with most of Xia Zekai's views, but they did not agree with one point.

What other dark horses did Xia Zekai say, they think Xia Zekai is the biggest dark horse, no exceptions!

The female reporter who was ignored by Xia Zekai was very angry, but on the surface she didn't dare to speak out, not even to say a word.

About 20 minutes later, Zhang Lidong, who was welcoming guests at the entrance of the Jingyi Hotel, finished his work.

He walked over to Zhang Yiming, gave him a report, and then walked onto the stage.

At this time, the others also quieted down, and most of the people present looked at Zhang Lidong on the stage.

"Distinguished guests, elite friends from the financial and business circles, good morning, everyone, I am Zhang Lidong, and I am very happy to welcome all of you today."

"The earth is rejuvenating, and Vientiane is renewing. At this beautiful moment when spring is about to bloom and spring is full of joy, Jingcheng Today Toutiao Technology Co., Ltd. also ushered in a sincere exchange and discussion with all friends, and jointly offered suggestions for the next development of Toutiao. offer."

"Next, let us welcome Zhang Dong to the stage with the warmest applause and share with you today's Toutiao today's results!"

After Zhang Lidong finished speaking, in the applause, he went down from the other side of the stage, and Zhang Yiming followed on the stage.

"Good morning everyone, I'm Zhang Yiming!"

A brief introduction followed by more warm applause.

Zhang Yiming smiled and looked a little shy at first glance. After waiting for the applause at the scene to stop, he continued: "On this special day, I am very happy to stand here and share with you today's headlines in the past. Over the years, brilliant achievements have been made.”

"Today's headlines completed the B round of financing on October 20, 2012. Our company has raised 452 million US dollars. So far, one year and four months have passed."

Zhang Yiming talked eloquently on the stage, and the more he spoke, the more confident he became. He said: "Last time, I said that the cumulative downloads of Toutiao exceeded 100 million, and its DAU (number of daily active users) exceeded 30 million. But what I want to tell you today is..."

When he said this, the big screen behind him began to light up. Not long after, a PPT with the words 'Today's Toutiao's future development and strategy' was opened, and the projected light passed through Zhang Yiming and projected on the big screen behind him. On the screen, the dazzling light caused Zhang Yiming to raise his hand subconsciously to block it.

After getting used to this wave of light, Zhang Yiming didn't care anymore. He pointed back at the content projected on the big screen APP and said, "After 16 months of development, the total number of users of Toutiao today has exceeded six. Our latest DAU (number of daily active users) statistics show that it is 140 million, and we surpassed Tencent News with a single user usage time of 78.1 minutes. In the current statistics on the usage time of various APPs, we are second only to Tencent QQ!"

Although it has not yet won the first place, but after these data were exposed, it still caused a sensation on the scene.

Many people were very surprised.

Knowing that Toutiao has developed rapidly this year, but they did not expect Toutiao to develop so fast now!

Its total user base has exceeded 600 million, and the number of daily active users has reached 140 million. This is no joke.

There may be a certain amount of moisture in this statistical data, but according to their understanding of Zhang Yiming, this moisture is not too large.

Because of this, the power of today's headlines is even more apparent.

Up to now, Tencent QQ is the overlord of the application APP. It claims to have a user group of more than one billion, and the number of daily active users of three or four billion every day. It can really be said that it dominates one side.

Back to Toutiao today, Zhang Yiming introduced the product content of Toutiao again.

Including the newly developed Toutiao account and Volcano video, etc., are designed to retain more user groups.

The ultimate goal is to make Toutiao more valuable!

In addition to this, they are also ready to continue developing more valuable content items.

As Zhang Yiming explained the content one by one, the PPT on the big screen behind him flashed new content page by page, which also allowed the people present to understand what he said more intuitively.

When Zhang Yiming was discussing on the stage, the discussion of everyone off the stage did not stop. It is really good that Toutiao's results were so good that everyone present could not ignore it.

Everyone who came here today wants to win a cake for themselves, but after hearing Zhang Yiming announce the data, they realized that the valuation of Toutiao may need to be mentioned again.

"How much is more suitable?" This was a question that lingered in the minds of everyone present.

If the offer is low, it will definitely not work, let alone get a place, it is very likely that you will not be able to rush out.

But once the quotation is high, a lot of money will be thrown out, which will inevitably affect their other plans, and we must think about this issue carefully.

"The valuation of the last round was 2.26 billion US dollars. According to this rhythm, this round cannot directly exceed 10 billion?" Many people present realized this.

Zhang Yiming spoke on and off the stage for more than half an hour, during which there was a question-and-answer session.

Mainly, the capital side off the stage conducted more specific consultation on what Zhang Yiming just said.

"Zekai, what are you thinking?" Luo Xiyun glanced at her husband, only to realize that her husband had not spoken much.

Xia Zekai shook his head and said, "I'm thinking about a question."

"What's the problem?" Luo Xiyun was very curious.

Xia Zekai said directly: "I just heard Yiming say that Toutiao is now studying the small video of volcanoes, and I always feel that he has overlooked something."

"What?" Luo Xiyun became more and more confused.

Xia Zekai shook his head: "It's okay, daughter-in-law, how much are you going to quote this time?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, I'll take a look again." Luo Xiyun said.

In today's scene, a low price is definitely a no-brainer, and a high price is not good either. She is very embarrassed.

This wave of Kaiyun investment is bound to follow a wave, and the next round of UU reading www.uukanshu.com may not be certain.

Xia Zekai himself didn't want to vote, not only him, but also Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo gave up the vote.

So much so that Liang Rubo didn't come today.

But what makes Xia Zekai even more curious is that even Wang Qiong of Haina Asia gave up the investment in this round of financing, which is really rare.

Although this will affect their shareholding ratio, the pool of Toutiao is getting bigger and bigger, and there is more water in it. The share assigned to them will not decrease, on the contrary, it will increase with the increase of the capacity pool. ,more and more.

At this time, everyone else was thinking about how much it would be more appropriate to quote later.

I don't know when, Zhou Hongyi and Shen Nanpeng also left Xia Zekai's side, consulted with their team and went to recalculate.

After Zhang Yiming got off the stage and Zhang Lidong got on the stage again, he directly announced the next financing rules and quotation method.

The method of quotation is very simple, which is no different from the previous B round of financing. The method of dark bidding is adopted, and the person with the highest quotation will be eligible for the second round of admission.

However, unlike previous years, the results of the first round of quotations will be balanced with the prices of the second round of quotations.

That is to say, if you simply quote a high price in the first round, it is useless to get the second round of admission tickets by fishing in troubled waters, and the two rounds of quotations will be calculated as a whole.

This is because they are plugging the leaks, and everyone is making progress!
