Generally speaking, a company's valuation rises as it raises more money.Of course, the premise is that the company itself operates properly, and the turnover and market share continue to increase, after all, most entrepreneurs have already fallen on the beach under the impact of wave after wave.Dong Ge himself is interested in Tujia's investment, but he also understands a truth, the earlier the investment, the greater the return.You Tujia.com B round is no longer thinking about JD.com, but you want to make a rainy day to let yourself fill the hole of the C round, Liu Qidong is a little unhappy in his heart."
The last time I came to visit JD.com, Mr.
Liu happened to miss it because he was busy with official business."
Su Ze replied calmly, "Then a few more companies showed investment intentions, so I temporarily changed my mind, and it was as simple as that." ”This reason can barely be said, but Dong Ge still has a little entanglement in his heart."
When I was looking for financing, I begged my grandfather to sue my grandmother, and I don't know how many times I closed the door.The young man was a good one, because he was busy with his own affairs and missed the first meeting, and new investors came to his door immediately. ”Liu Qidong thought of his extremely difficult entrepreneurial road, and in the days of hard work in Zhongguancun, he was even despised by his predecessor's family for a time.At that time, his ex-girlfriend was already working in the central ministries and commissions, and his girlfriend's family had been in politics for three generations, and he didn't want to see his daughter marry a salesman after being wronged, so the two had to break up.Dong Ge remembers this past vividly, and he is also riveting his strength and getting ahead in his career.Su Yi on the side also spoke: "Mr.
Liu, I have observed that your company, like Alibaba, is building its own ecosystem around e-commerce. ”Liu Qidong nodded, noncommittal.This is a necessary route in the development of a large company."
In the era of mobile Internet, giant companies such as BAT have begun to form their own circles, such as Alibaba, Baidu, and Tencent.I think the future of JD.com should not be to join any department, but to remain independent and grow to the scale of BAT. ”"That's a lot of praise."
After Dong Ge paused slightly, he became modest.He understands that ambition sometimes needs to be thought about, and what he says is a bit noticeable and gossipy.Especially when the company is at a critical moment of development, it is better not to provoke too much criticism.Nowadays, it seems that BAT has its own duties, but in China, the Internet seems to have shown a trend of riding the dust, and the trend of three-legged dominance has become more and more obvious.But a few years later, Baidu fell behind, and its market value was once overtaken by JD.com and even Meituan, almost no one could have expected it, even if it is Liu Qidong or Wang Xin today.Although it is hot in the future, Tencent has a stake in JD.com, and the two companies work closely together, but it may not be accurate to say that JD.com is Tencent, because Liu Qidong still has absolute control, and JD.com also maintains its independence.Meituan first, then JD.com, this is Su Ze's plan, he needs to realize the maximum value of Tujia in the shortest possible time."
Mr.
Liu, we can sign a private agreement.If your company wants to form a JD system in the future, we are willing to join this big family to enrich your company's ecosystem. ”Su Yiyan smiled and released a bombshell.The establishment of the JD system, one day to be able to compete with BAT, especially Ali is his goal, especially Ali has not yet been involved in the OTA market.Liu Qidong was very proud, but he still said modestly: "Although we Jingdong have made long-term progress in the development in recent years, there is still a long way to go, is Mr.
Su so optimistic about the future of Jingdong?"
”"It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, I'm also throwing stones to ask for directions, now looking at it, the next company that can go hand in hand with BAT, Jingdong is the most likely, as for 360 or NetEase, ......"
Su Ze shook his head decisively, "I'm not very optimistic." ”"If Mr.
Liu is interested, I can even release control one day and let JD.com control more than 51% of the shares!""
Oh, that surprised me."
Liu Qidong paused slightly, "Does Su always have a specific timetable?"
”"Before 2016."
Su Ze gave a deadline, "Before this, I hope that Mr.
Liu can trust me, even if he joins the Jingdong department, he also has an absolute controlling stake, and I also hope that the company's operators are me and my sister."
If after 2016, if Mr.
Liu is not satisfied with our work, the person in charge can be replaced. ”"It's not a pity to give up on a company that has worked so hard to build."
Liu Qidong was a little puzzled."
That's not necessarily, we still have a little bit of shares, and the decision is in the hands of Mr.
Liu.If in 2016, Mr.
Liu is satisfied with our work, then we will continue to work, if we feel that we are not doing well, we can only be an ordinary shareholder. ”Su Ze smiled slightly, and talked in a calm tone: "What's more, the world is unpredictable, maybe at that time, I may have a new idea, even if you want to keep me, maybe I don't want to stay." ”"Of course, the premise is that the Series C financing is led by JD.com, and the valuation cannot be less than $150 million."
Liu Qidong muttered in his heart, this kid is thinking really far, the B round has not yet been completed, he is thinking about the C round, but it seems that it will be very fast in terms of time, it is already March, and it is only September by the end of the year, and it will pass in the blink of an eye.Thinking of this, he admired Su Ze very much, young people should have such enthusiasm to start a business.The other party has promised so much, the first choice is to bundle the interests of JD.com, and then in 2016, maybe it will be a peak of Tujia's valuation, cash out at a high level, and then look for new investment projects?
As a business tycoon, he quickly guessed the reason.But he didn't understand that Su Ze was so sure that he could reinvest in a new project and be able to succeed?"
Tujia is a good asset, and I welcome it to join this big family, of course I have a request."
Liu Qidong pondered for a while and gave his own conditions, "You can meet, there will be a lot of capital entering the market of B&B in the future."
I ask you to always maintain the number one product in your class, or the agreement will be null and void. ”"Of course it's fine."
Su Ze nodded decisively, "If we can't guarantee the first product in the same category, I don't have the confidence and confidence to talk about the conditions." ”The conversation was pleasant, and the two sides immediately initialed the agreement.After Su Ze signed the big name, he took a deep breath and muttered in his heart: Lao Tzu has even done the C round of financing!
After Liu Qidong said goodbye to the two of them, he looked at Su Yi's back in a silent daze......
"Pretty is beautiful, but it's a pity that she is a strong woman." ”He shook his head, clearly thinking of his powerful ex-girlfriend.Dong Ge quietly set a goal for himself, if he remarries, he must not find a strong woman, no matter how amazing the other party is.He wanted to find a simple and lovely little woman who worshipped and relied on himself as an idol.He just likes this one now, but it's a pity that he hasn't met such a girl.…… Su Ze took his sister out of JD.com's office building.There is a heartache between the sisters and brothers, and Su Yi can roughly guess Su Ze's thoughts: "Xiao Ze, in 2016, even if Jingdong doesn't change the management of Tujia.com, you want to get rid of it yourself." ”"Brother Mo Ruo, Sister Zhi."
Su Ze smiled indifferently, "Actually, 2016 is a bit late, if I can, I hope to be a year earlier."
Tujia can be a key part of the JD system and become a bridgehead for them to enter the OTA, but I don't want to be limited to it all the time. ”"At that point, have you thought about what to invest in?""
If you cash out, you will have money, and then take Xiaoxue and your sister around the world, if you are not married at that time."
Su Ze yawned, and said to him, "It's tiring to start a business, isn't it good to enjoy life when you have money?"
”Su Yi glared at him, knowing that his brother was talking nonsense again.()
