America's Road to Fame

Chapter 367 Snacks

In the ranch in New Zealand, you will feel that the pace of life immediately slows down. Every day, riding horses and feeding animals, time will not feel the past.

Of course, with Liu Shishi's current state, she definitely can't ride a horse, but she also likes watching the scene where the sheep are being driven by the shepherd dogs on the grassland...

He continued to stay with Liu Shishi on the ranch in Queenstown for a few days, and after confirming that she had adapted to the life here and was in good condition, William Chen said goodbye to her and returned to China first.

After all, William Chen still had too many things to do, and he couldn't live in such a comfortable life all the time.

The new CEO of Future Investment Company is Li Ying's deputy named Gu Xiaojuan, a very agile woman in her 30s.

After William Chen arrived in Yanjing, she specifically reported to him about the work during this period.At present, what attracts the most attention is the increasingly fierce thousand-regiment war in China.

Just recently, Dianping conducted the latest round of financing. In the last financing, Huaxia Future Capital invested US$3 million at a post-money valuation of US$6000 million, holding a 20% stake in Dianping.

This time, in the face of competition from thousands of domestic group buying websites in Huaguo, Dianping is also preparing to open a new round of financing to join the race to burn money.

This time, Dianping plans to raise US$10 million at a post-investment valuation of US$2 billion.Uh, just over a year later, their valuation will rise from US$3 million to US$10 billion. It seems like a lot, but it is also very reasonable in the current environment where group buying is popular.

This is not compared with Groupon, whose valuation has been directly called 250 billion U.S. dollars in the recent IPO... At that time, when Zoom and Meta Investment Company raised funds, how much was the valuation.

Originally, Huaxia Future Capital wanted to cover the salary of Dianping this time, so that after this financing, their shareholding will increase from 20% to 36%, reaching the expectation of more than 35%.

However, it seems that Dianping.com does not quite agree with this. They have other ideas and hope to introduce more investors. It seems that they do not want Huaxia Future Capital to hold too many shares.

But despite this, Huaxia Future Capital is still one of the main investors. The final financing plan is that Huaxia Future Capital will invest 1.4 million US dollars to increase their shareholding from 20% to 30%.

As for the remaining 6000 million US dollars, there are other venture capital investors including IDG Capital and others. It is worth mentioning that for some reason, Xiao Wang also successfully participated in the financing of Dianping. Investment, also in this financing, invested 2000 million US dollars and got 2% of Dianping shares.

It seems that he couldn't stand the battle of thousands of regiments anymore. His father gave him 5 million yuan, which cost more than 1 million yuan.However, his investment this time will definitely not lose money, and he will make a lot of money. If he can keep holding it, it will be better than investing in other messy group buying websites.

The second thing is that Xiaomi's mobile phone is on the market, and its performance is very impressive, and the mobile phone has been sold out all the time.

Of course, this is mainly because their company’s current supply chain is not complete and the output is not high, so it has caused the result of hunger and thirst marketing. Many scalpers even go to the official website to grab mobile phones and sell them at a higher price.

In the last Xiaomi A round of financing, because Li Ying left Future Investment Company to take up the post of CEO of South Pacific Industrial Investment Company, Gu Xiaojuan took over the financing of Xiaomi Company.

In the early seed round of financing, Huaxia Future Capital won 25% of Xiaomi’s shares. At that time, the name Xiaomi had not even been born.

After such a long period of cooperation, the relationship between China Future Capital and Lei Jun is also getting along well. Therefore, in the A round of financing, they not only maintained their shareholding, but also increased it slightly. Now they hold 30% of Xiaomi's shares. .

What's interesting is that Boss Ma also participated in Xiaomi's financing this time, and Ali also holds 5% of Xiaomi's shares. His purpose is that the pre-installed software of Xiaomi mobile phones includes Ali-based apps. And the Huaguo version of HOLA, a joint venture between Ali and William Chen.

Xiaomi, which did not develop Michat, focused on mobile phones and the improvement of the MIUI system, and may be able to develop faster than in the previous life.

What Gu Xiaojuan reported to William Chen were all the main projects of the future investment company. As for other less important projects, naturally there was no need to waste William Chen's time.

At present, the branch of Future Investment Company in Yanjing is in the main building of China World Trade Center Phase III, which has been renamed TC Tianchao Building. When William Chen returned to the courtyard, he saw Nazha waiting for him here.

Before, Nazha, Bai Bing, Li Yanxi and the others lived here for a few days, and all the servants who stayed here knew her, so after receiving Chen Weilian's order, they would naturally let her come in early.

Now, Nazha is going to be a sophomore, but according to Chen Weilian's instructions, although Huayi Company has found many roles for her to appear in film and television works, Nazha is still not in a hurry famous.

"Mr. William."

After seeing William Chen enter the room, Nazha quickly stood up and said to him.

Today Nazha is wearing a white dress, with a tall figure, she looks extraordinarily beautiful.

"You don't have to be so polite, sit down." William Chen took her hand, sat on the sofa, and asked, "How is your father?"

"The operation has been completed, and the doctor said that he is recovering well." Nazha was held by William Chen, feeling her heart beating violently. She secretly glanced at him, and Nazha said sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. William."

Although the money, with Nazha's post-fame popularity, it is not difficult to earn it.But for now, it is a very large amount for her. She is just a student, and she doesn't dare to think about how to make so much money.

Just like many people, when they were young, they would have many regrets and misses due to insufficient wealth accumulation. After years of struggle and realization of wealth and freedom, those lost can no longer be recovered.

"Are you on vacation now?"

"That's right." Speaking of this, Nazha became a little happy: "Finally, I can relax a bit, and I don't have to wake up every morning to perform morning exercises."

"Do you have to get up early every day at school?"

William Chen didn't quite know what their student life at Nortel was like.

"Yeah, we have to get up at three or four in the morning every day to perform morning exercises."

"Three or four in the morning? So early?"

William Chen asked in surprise.

"In the beginning, I didn't need to get up so early, but the teacher stipulated that if a classmate was late, it would be half an hour earlier the next day, so I gradually advanced to three or four in the morning. At this time, when the time could not If it is earlier, then the students who are late will have to write a review, and this review will also double the number of words in the latter part of the previous one..."

It turned out to be like this, William Chen asked with a smile: "Then have you ever been late?"

Nazha stuck out her tongue and said embarrassingly: "My highest record is to write a [-]-word self-criticism. After I didn't sleep the night before and finished writing, I went directly to do my morning work at three o'clock in the morning the next day."

It was the first time William Chen had heard of her saying this, and he did not expect that the management of the Film Academy was so strict.But it's normal to think about it. The boys and girls there are all young people carefully selected from all over the country. Whether it is appearance or literary talent, they are considered to be the best among their peers. Such an excellent person, if they are not strictly disciplined, it is really not easy to restrain them.

After all, the film school is too close to the entertainment circle, and this circle has too many temptations and darkness.

"It's a holiday now, is there any place you want to go, travel or something?"

"Ah? South Korea." Nazha said shyly, "I've watched some South Korean TV dramas since I was a child, but I've never been there. I want to try the food in those TV dramas, such as barbecue."

"That's just right. I will go there in the next few days to talk about some things. If you have time, you can go there with me. But it's the same thing in TV dramas. It's okay to go there to feel the local characteristics, but The life there, if you stay there for a long time, you probably won’t be able to bear it.”

"Yes, I still prefer Huaguo. The food here is different and there are many varieties. If I have been eating kimchi in South Korea, I really don't like it."

Uh, why do you have to talk about eating? Could it be that this Nazha, a beauty, is a snack food?
