The Happy Life of the Reborn Dad

"$48 billion!"

I don't know when, there was a very flat price shouting sound again, but the price shouted this time made more than half of the people present feel the pressure.

At this time, even Xia Zekai began to pay attention to it, and he was only one step away from the reserve price of 50 billion US dollars he said.

He didn't expect to reach the target price he just joked to Shen Nanpeng so soon.

However, at this time, as the distance to 50 billion US dollars is getting closer and closer, the capital parties present are becoming more and more cautious in asking the price, and there is no more energy to raise the price by 2 to 3 billion just now.

"$48.5 billion."

"$48.6 billion."

"…"

"$49 billion."

As it approaches the important threshold of 50 billion US dollars, it seems that even the last wave of the most powerful people on the scene. Not as arrogant as before.

But even so, this figure is still moving infinitely towards the integer mark of 50 billion US dollars.

Seeing this result, and seeing how many people at the scene agreed with this result, Shen Nanpeng's whole body was messed up.

"Boss Shen, what do you think?" Xia Zekai asked with a smile.

Zhou Hongyi and the people from Shunwei Capital stood together. After they discussed for a while, Zhou Hongyi made up his mind and shouted: "$50.1 billion!"

The moment the number was shouted, the scene was completely quiet.

It’s like the difference between 99 and 100 for a piece of clothing is the same. In fact, the difference is only one dollar, but after a piece of clothing is priced at 100 yuan, many people will feel that it is a bit expensive, and it may break through. Some people can accept the psychological defense line.

When the bid price was less than 50 billion US dollars just now, many capitalists were very happy, but when Zhou Hongyi called out the number of '50.1 billion US dollars', the scene was silent for a moment.

This time, no one is in a hurry to bid. They feel that the price of more than 50 billion is a bit high.

Until Guo Houzhao of CITIC Industrial Fund shouted again: "50.6 billion US dollars."

This time there was no more bidding at the scene. Maybe some people have acquiesced in the price of more than 50 billion, but they will not accept a higher price.

After waiting for three minutes, there was still no one at the scene to continue bidding. Yu Shuping asked aloud: "Is there a higher price?"

No one responded, and the capitalists present were not all fools. They also had a steel scale in their hearts, and everyone knew that the price basically reached the upper limit of 'should travel'.

"Okay, my friends, wait a moment." After seeing no response, Yu Shuping got off the stage and walked to Liang Rubo's side. After chatting with him in a low voice for a while, he walked back to the stage and asked: "$50.6 billion, friends who agree, please raise your hand and let me take a look."

As soon as he said this, the first person who raised his hand to express his approval immediately appeared at the scene, and he was Guo Houzhao.

As he himself said, CITIC REIT has a great business and is really rich.

Immediately after Zhou Hongyi raised his hand second, he had already quoted $50.1 billion, which was only $500 million less than Zhu Houzhao's offer. Compared to this size, it was really a small thing.

But what was unexpected was that the third person who raised his hand was an investor who was not well-known in the investment circle, called Jinshajiang Venture Capital, and the person in charge was Zhu Xiao.

There were several capital parties who knew him at the scene, and when they saw him raising their hands, those people were obviously stunned for a while, and some people came to him and whispered something to him.

But these failed to stop Zhu Xiao's determination to invest.

In addition to these three companies that have clearly stated that they will enter the second round, there are also companies from China Investment Corporation, Tencent Investment, Apple, and Tan Masek Investment Fund, which has already entered the game at the time of the C round of financing.

Except for these 7 companies, no other capital parties have spoken back, which also means that they have been defeated in the face of this price.

But among these 7 families, there is another company, Tan Masek Investment, which has entered the game. It has clearly stated that it will follow the investment this round.

Those present, including Xia Zekai, can only say that this investment company from Singapore and formed by the Singaporean government is really rich.

At this time, Shen Nanpeng was also convinced. He said, "Actually, I don't think it is necessary to carry out the second round. If this round requires a lot of funds, let them share a point."

Indeed, as Shen Nanpeng said, after Yu Shuping got off the stage and discussed with Liang Rubo, Liang Rubo came over to seek Xia Zekai's opinion.

However, this 'CIC' aroused the idea of ​​Xia Zekai and Shen Nanpeng.

Nothing else, its full name is "China Investment Co., Ltd.", with a registered capital of 200 billion US dollars, and its source of funds is 1550 billion yuan raised by the domestic government through the issuance of special treasury bonds.

It is also one of the largest sovereign wealth funds in the world.

The management team is star-studded.

Seeing this background, Xia Zekai and Shen Nanpeng looked at each other. The two of them were discussing the possibility of "Yichai" going public in the United States. There are investment funds from the country.

reject it?

Only a fool will refuse this kind of investment from the national level.

At some special times, it is also a background and strength.

A very special company like Yixing really needs such a background.

Xia Zekai didn't care about how they were allocated, he understood that Liang Rubo must be aware of this area.

At the celebration banquet at noon, Liang Rubo, Zhang Yiming and the seven capitalists shortlisted today sat at a table.

Guo Houzhao, the lesser-known person in charge of China Investment Corporation and the person in charge of CITIC Industrial Fund, seemed to be acquaintances, and the two had been chatting in a low voice.

According to Guo Houzhao's introduction, the person in charge of the CIC is called Peng Yang. After Xia Zekai heard his surname, he looked at him subconsciously and found that there was no familiar shadow on his face, and his expression was relaxed. a lot.

On this day, all TV station reporters, newspaper reporters, and media reporters and self-media people from various channels began to write frantically, declaring the greatness of the D-round financing of “Yichang”.

To be precise, it should be the D+ round. In this round of financing, it set the record for the largest amount of market valuation funds before the company's IPO. No one can know for sure whether any latecomers can break this record, but throughout the past few years. company, it is difficult.

With the final conclusion of the market value of 'Yi Chuxing', on the other hand, all the shareholders of 'Yi Chuxing' have been picked up again by the media and online scavengers.

Among them, Xia Zekai, Liang Rubo, Zhang Yiming, the individual major shareholders with the most shares in Yixing, are all talked about by netizens who eat melons.

Most people on the Internet are curious about the three of them. This time, after 'Today's Toutiao' and 'Yichang' successively obtained valuations that are highly recognized by the market, with the rebirth of these two unicorn companies, they have risen completely. Where can Xia Zekai, Liang Rubo and Zhang Yiming rank three hot young people on the Forbes rich list?

Some people are also speculating how many shares Xia Zekai has left in Yixing and Toutiao at this time?

What are his personal assets?

These two blocks directly arouse people's desire to explore.

However, Xia Zekai, who is the party concerned, has no intention of revealing his wealth to the public, and those who know the inside story will not casually say these things to these melon eaters on the Internet.

This result has only aroused the curiosity of the people who eat melons on the Internet.

So much so that a popular entry appeared on the Internet, called 'Everyone, guess how much money Xia Zekai has, the closest answer is the bonus. ’

This popular entry is not a joke, there is a real bonus, but the bonus is only 500 yuan, which is not a lot.

These prizes were put together by a few curious people.

But just like that, more and more people participated in the guessing.

Most of the people who participated really didn't come for the 500 yuan bonus, but they also thought that if they guessed correctly, there would be bonuses to get, which would be fun to think about!

All participants' estimates of Xia Zekai's wealth will be based on the Forbes Rich List to be released in the first half of this year.

The person with the closest guess wins.

According to the rules of the Forbes Rich List in previous years, it is usually in the end of March and the beginning of April, which is also very fast.

…

"Boss Xia, are you free now, I'll invite you to dinner." When Zhou Hongyi found Xia Zekai, it was noon the next day after the end of the D round of financing from Yixing.

After the celebration banquet at noon that day, Liang Rubo was still very happy. He called Zhang Yiming again in the evening and called out Xia Zekai, Yu Shuping and Yang Bin. The five of them gathered alone to celebrate their dream of wealth four years ago.

That night, in addition to Xia Zekai, Liang Rubo, Zhang Yiming, Yu Shuping and Yang Bin all drank too much.

Even Yu Shuping and Yang Bin, who have the least shares here, still hold 1.44% of the shares after several rounds of financing have diluted their shares. According to the latest market valuation, these shares are worth about 726 million US dollars. .

According to the latest exchange rate of USD to RMB 6.1214 this month, the conversion into RMB is also equivalent to 4.444 billion RMB.

Even Yu Shuping and Yang Bin couldn't imagine that they only invested 500,000 RMB in the beginning. It's only been a few years, let alone the realization of wealth freedom. At that time, I am afraid that personal assets will also exceed 10 billion, right?

Not to mention the value of the shares of Xia Zekai, Liang Rubo and Zhang Yiming.

Although Yixing has carried out 4 rounds of financing and has diluted a large part of their shares, this still does not affect the continuous appreciation of their personal assets, and it is a substantial appreciation.

Xia Zekai smiled, thinking about the five of them drinking last night.

Looking at Zhou Hongyi opposite, he nodded lightly: "Yes!"

"Boss Xia, I don't want more. If you still have enough shares, how about giving me 10 million shares?" Zhou Hongyi asked.

He originally wanted to buy more from Xia Zekai, but the problem is that the price of 'Yi Chuxing' is too expensive. After he invested in Toutiao, he couldn't get that much money.

There is no pressure to buy 10 million shares from Xia Zekai again.

Combined with the 10 million shares he got in this round of financing, in this case, it will be equal to the shares obtained by China Investment Corporation and CITIC Industrial Fund.

For the remaining shares, Tencent Investment and Apple each got 15 million shares.

It wasn't that Zhou Hongyi didn't want to grab them at the time, but the problem was that he couldn't grab those people.

In addition to money, the resources he can provide are not as many as those given by these companies.

But fortunately, he still has a way to buy some shares from Xia Zekai.

"You want 10 million shares?" Xia Zekai was very surprised. Old Zhou didn't have this attitude before. At that time, he looked like a rich old man. Changed?

Zhou Hongyi was embarrassed, but nodded, pretending to be nonchalant, and said, "10 million shares are enough, and the cash will be settled."

Man, he's still rich!

Xia Zekai was also happy. After thinking about it, he nodded in agreement immediately. He reached out and shook hands with Zhou Hongyi and said, "Deal."

Calculated at US$48.42 per share, even these 10 million shares are worth US$484.2 million, equivalent to RMB 2.964 billion.

Even after paying the house price of 1.16 billion yuan for the courtyard house, he still has 1.8 billion yuan in cash left.

There has never been this moment when Xia Zekai felt that he was really rich.

It's not the string of numbers on the book, but the real money in his bank card.

"Te mother, what can I do with this money?" Xia Zekai immediately started thinking about it. He thought, "What gifts should I buy for my parents, my wife and children?"

This time, I have to buy it, and I have to buy it well, otherwise it will not reflect the value of the money.

But the problem is that after buying gifts for his parents, wife and children, he still has a lot of money left. What will the money be used for?

Xia Zekai thought so deeply that he was a little distracted.

When he came back to his senses, he thought that he still owed a mortgage loan to the bank, but he didn't want to rush to repay the money now, so let's take it slowly.

So what's the rest for?

After thinking about it, Xia Zekai couldn't come up with a clue, Xia Zekai wondered if it was really possible to put it in the bank card and get a wave of demand interest first?

But this is too sad!

"I'll think about what to do." Xia Zekai thought about it.

Zhou Hongyi didn't know what Xia Zekai was thinking, so he called Xia Zekai again: "Boss Xia, what do you want to eat, I'll arrange it?"

"Whatever, except for leeks, I don't have anything special to eat." Xia Zekai said.

His stomach has not been very good recently, and leeks are difficult to digest. Xia Zekai will not eat if he can.

Hearing what Xia Zekai said, Zhou Hongyi stopped asking him for his opinion and said, "Boss Xia, let's go now?"

"That's it, let's go!" Xia Zekai agreed.
