While Su Ze is methodically promoting the company's D round financing plan, he is also promoting Douyin very efficiently.Of course, before the financing was officially completed, he could only grit his teeth and burn money.The market response of "Douyin" has been very good, and the number of active users has exceeded 3 million within 2 months of its launch, but because of this, some people in the industry have begun to follow suit, and similar products have begun to emerge gradually.However, Su Ze has obvious advantages on his side, and the funds are very sufficient, even if he cannot complete the financing in a short period of time, he will not fall into the point of being overstretched, plus he is the initiator of this idea, comparing the experience and activity of the product, the advantage is obvious.The mobile Internet era is different from the PC era, and the drainage role of both QQ and web browsers has been relatively weakened.Of course, that doesn't mean he can rest easy.If these potential competitors can get investment from those capitals, it's hard to say who will die, Douyin in the previous life can be successful, and it may not be possible to replicate it in this time and space.As the person in charge of the product, Yu Shaojie is also tracking the progress of this financing throughout the process."
Mr.
Su, the efficiency of Sina Weibo is quite high, and the latest quotation has come over."
Cao Wei did show great connections on his side, and when he and Su Ze agreed to be jointly led by the two companies, this guy quickly set off.Su Zedi's analysis is not wrong, in the past period of time, similar follow-up products have begun to appear, and more and more users on Weibo have begun to talk about this popular new product.Everything is moving forward as he predicted, and the next step should be that the active crowd of Weibo is gradually diverted to Douyin."
Well, I'll take a look."
Su Ze took a new quotation document and skimmed through it roughly.Lakeside Information, which has two products, Tujia and Douyin, was originally valued at $500 million, but this time it has risen to $600 million.Sequoia Capital and Sina Weibo jointly led the round and planned to raise $200 million, a total of 25% of the shares.This $200 million is also the largest amount of financing involved in Suze's history."
With this funding, almost all of our visions can be realized."
At the beginning of 2014, this money can indeed be used to make a big difference, and the most important thing is that once they get investment from these two companies, they will not be able to invest in ByteDance again.Because of the overlap in the content of the two companies, there is no need for them to waste a lot of money on this move."
It's just......
The other party wishes to sign a supplementary agreement. ”"What agreement?""
In the future E round of financing, priority will be given to these two companies, and after the E round, they can almost prepare for listing.""
Indeed, after the E round, it is almost ready to be listed."
Su Ze nodded and replied.This move will maximize the interests of these two companies, and once listed, their investment will basically be able to obtain a good return."
If Series E is guaranteed to have a $5 billion valuation, I can promise to prioritize these two companies."
Su Ze gave his own conditions.In terms of timeline, Lakeside information should be available around 2016.After the explosive growth of the mobile Internet market, it ushered in a peak moment.Frankly speaking, at that point in time, there was a bubble in all mobile Internet APP products, and the difference was only in the size of the bubble.Su Ze had no reason to let go of this period of crazy growth of bubbles
.
"$5 billion......
Yu Shaojie swallowed silently, "This valuation seems to be a bit high." ”"It seems a little higher now, but have you ever thought that two years ago, the valuation of many nascent Internet companies was only hovering around tens of millions of dollars.Take our company as an example, at that time, there was only Lakeside Information on Tujia.com, and the valuation was less than 10 million US dollars. ”Su Ze groaned for a moment, and then said, "It's only been two years, and it's changed so much. ”"It's impossible to have such a speed of development every year, and there will always be a bottleneck, right?""
In my opinion, there should be 2-3 years left."
Su Ze smiled indifferently, "You just reply to them like this, if you can, we can have a three-way meeting." ”"Okay, then I'll reply to the other party according to the boss's wishes.""
Okay."…… Throughout 2013, Su Yi's career can be said to have been making steady progress, the Ice Princess is constantly grabbing the market share of China, and the "Ice and Snow Lovers" brand of chocolate has almost become a household name under the bombardment of excellent taste and overwhelming advertising.In the eyes of outsiders, Su Yi, who has good looks and a career, is the goddess in everyone's minds and the object of envy of everyone.However, since entering 2014, Su Yi has always had a trace of anxiety in his heart.It's hard for her to notice this when she's usually busy, but once it's quiet, this faint feeling looms.She knew very well that her three-year contract with her parents was about to expire.Within three years, her parents did not introduce her to a blind date according to the agreement, which made her a lot more idle during this time.However, three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Su Yi is still alone, and it seems that it is not easy to explain to his parents.After all, Su Yi swore at the time that if she asked her to find it by herself within three years, there would definitely be an explanation, but the result was still that the eight characters had not been brushed up.What's even more infuriating is that Su Ze, a stinky boy, has a girlfriend, and getting engaged or even getting married can be said to be a sure thing.He still sprinkled dog food on himself at every turn, and he was really angry when he thought about it.As for her, Wu Jie, who once became the object of her consideration, has returned from the United States, but she has retreated.Once, she seemed to want to make up her mind to give herself a chance and made an appointment to meet the other party, but she was ruined by this stinky brother's nonsense.However, for nearly two months, the two sides have maintained contact on WeChat.This is mainly because of Wu Jie's tireless and persevering spirit.He had considered Lin Shijing for a while, but after the dinner that day, he found that the other party was purely amusing himself, so Wu Jie attached more importance to Su Yi.If he can catch up with this woman, it will be a double gain for both people and money, and he won't have to work hard in this life.Recently, the two have chatted more closely, and he also took this opportunity to send an invitation to Su Yi."
This ......
Or even go abroad?
”After Su Yi received this somewhat unexpected invitation, he did not refuse immediately, but replied indifferently: Let me think about it for a few days before replying to you.Because of her brother's nonsense last time, she felt that this time she should decide by herself.()
