Chapter 108: 200 million
At Jingdong headquarters, it’s six o’clock, and it’s time to get off work.
Xu Xin was about to get in the car and go home when she saw Liu Qiangdong running over in a hurry.
Xu Xin stopped and stood in front of the car with a smile, waiting for Liu Qiangdong.
"What happened to make you run so fast?"
Liu Qiangdong took a deep breath, shook his head and smiled: "I have nothing to do, but I have some news to tell you. I think you will be very interested!"
"Oh!" Xu Xin asked curiously: "What news?"
Liu Qiangdong pursed his lips, "Ele.me, founded by Lu Heng, released news yesterday about seeking financing. Did you receive it?"
Xu Xin's eyes lit up. She had just returned from England and had not received the news.
When I heard Liu Qiangdong's words, my heart immediately came alive.
"What is Ele.me's estimated financing amount? How many shares are they willing to release? Are there any positions available? Is there a specific financing plan?"
A thunderous and fast question came to his ears, and Liu Qiangdong interrupted Xu Xin with a wry smile.
"Sister Xin, how do I know these detailed information? What I got is just a piece of financing news. It is said that it was reported by Lu Heng personally. It is estimated that many people in the venture capital industry will know about it in one day!
If you want to know specific information, you can call Lu Heng personally and ask, do you have his contact information?"
Of course there is contact information, and I have known Lu Heng for a long time.
What Xu Xin was not sure about was whether she would give up the initiative if she took the initiative to contact Lu Heng in advance.
She thought about it hesitantly and decided to make plans after going back.
"Qiang Dong, thank you for the reminder. I'll wait until I go back to find out the news carefully before making a decision!"
Liu Qiangdong hummed and waved goodbye to Xu Xin.
Then he took the key and got into the car. In the car, Liu Qiangdong couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
He had never thought that Lu Heng actually owned an Internet company. He had just heard him announce the company to the public at the Internet Leaders Summit not long ago, but the news of financing was released so quickly.
In this way, Lu Heng's actions should have been intentional.
What a profound plan!
In particular, Lu Heng's series of exposure activities have made Lu Heng's business person more important. When those venture capital investors invest, in addition to evaluating the value of Ele.me, they probably also have to evaluate Lu Heng's personality.
Energy!
When Xu Xin got home, she was still thinking about Ele.me and couldn't help but feel confused.
"I wanted to invest in Youzi Technology, but Lu Heng refused to let go. Instead, his hidden Ele.me was exposed and he was willing to accept investment."
"Although I did not participate in the previous Internet Leaders Summit, I have read the follow-up reports and even asked my subordinates to evaluate Ele.me. It is indeed worth investing. I just don't know how much stuff Lu Heng will release this time?"
After thinking about a lot of things in a mess, Xu Xin rubbed his head.
She decided to call Lu Heng first to ask some questions so that she could take the next step.
"Hey, Lu Heng, I'm Xu Xin!"
"Sister Xin, I haven't contacted you for a long time. I heard that you went to England some time ago?"
"Ahem, yes, you also know that Today's Capital is in the form of a foundation. As the president, I help fund providers manage their money. Not long ago, Capital Today had a shareholder change, so I went to the UK and
The new shareholders have been chatting for a few days. Let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s talk about Ele.me. Are you planning to raise funds?”
"That's right! I can't help it. I'm short of money. What's wrong? Sister Xin, are you willing to help me?"
"I can't talk about helping you. I can only say that we can make money together! How about it? How much do you plan to raise this time?"
"It's not convenient to say the specific financing amount right now. It will depend on how many venture capital firms will participate and how much everyone values Ele.me. However, if Sister Xin is interested in participating, she can come over for an interview!"
After a warm and polite chat, Lu Heng hung up the phone with a smile, and then the smile gradually disappeared.
His eyes wandered around the old and shabby office buildings. This was the office location of Ele.me’s Beijing branch that Wu Mingming chose.
Although it may not look very new, it is located on a traffic thoroughfare, which perfectly meets the work needs of Ele.me.
Relatively speaking, its annual rent is in the millions.
And this money is undoubtedly a huge burden for Ele.me now.
"Come on, put the things here, be gentle, don't break them!"
Wu Mingming walked in from outside and directed the workers to place things.
Lu Heng silently watched him busy there, until Wu Mingming called out to the workers to wipe their sweat there, Lu Heng walked over.
"No need."
"Uh, what"
Lu Heng shrugged his shoulders, looked at the pile of valuable office supplies on the ground, and said in a slightly louder voice: "I said you don't need to do it yourself now, not that your attitude is wrong, but that the work efficiency is too low.
"
Wu Mingming spread his hands helplessly, "The office buildings are all rented, and I feel sorry for the rent here every day when they are vacant!"
Lu Heng looked neither sad nor happy, folded his hands on his chest, and said leisurely: "It's actually very simple to prevent these rents from being wasted every day, that is, get the financing in place quickly. With more money, you can recruit more people."
Have more manpower and let them help you handle these trivial matters. You are now the head of the branch and also the president of Ele.me. You are no longer the manager Wu who was in charge of logistics when you just started."
Wu Mingming's face became serious, and he realized that his current busyness was meaningless.
Lu Heng patted Wu Mingming on the shoulder, "Let's start preparing a financing plan, contact the hotel, and start contacting various venture capital investors. Also, have you notified Jianguo?"
Wu Mingming immediately replied: "Notified, he is already on the incoming plane, and he will probably arrive in Beijing soon."
"Okay, you and Jianguo are responsible for the specific matters of this financing. It is also time for you two founders of Ele.me to be exposed to the public. I will control the overall direction!"
Wu Mingming was refreshed and became famous. Being a saint in front of others is one of the most exciting ways for men.
He also seemed to see countless long guns and cannons gathered in front of him, asking all kinds of things.
Of course, before Ele.me achieved great success, he was still very self-aware.
Seeing Lu Heng preparing to leave, Wu Mingming quickly followed and asked him about the thing he was most concerned about.
"Director, how much money do we plan to raise this time?"
Lu Heng paused slightly, then moved forward again, gently spitting out a number.
