Chapter 626 Seeking Financing
To put it bluntly, Zhou Fei just wanted to ask for peace of mind, otherwise he would always be vacillating on whether to let Tesla go public.

Well now, since everyone disagrees with this plan, Zhou Fei can give up such an idea.

"Then if we give up the plan of listing Tesla for financing, which company should we choose to go public?" Ma Huafu asked.

Zhou Fei shook his head, "Tesla is the most suitable one after my comprehensive consideration. Since Tesla is not suitable, other companies are even more inappropriate."

"That Zhou Zong meant that the plan of going public and financing should be given up as a whole?" Li Jianneng asked tentatively.

"That's the only way to go. The plan to go public was too hasty. The group didn't make any preparations. Whether it's timing or the waiting period, going public is just the second-best option. I really didn't think it through before." Zhou Fei nodded.

Going to the doctor in a hurry is a bad thing.

"Then we can only start external financing for the online car-hailing project. Is Brother Fei interested in investing in institutions?" Jiang Yang asked beside him.

With Zhou Fei's current status, any investment institution in the country will have to sell him a little bit.

"Not yet, and I don't plan to find a specific institution for financing. I will follow the normal financing process and wait for the investment institution to find us." Zhou Fei replied.

Zhou Fei is not a rookie who is starting a business for the first time, so he does not need to negotiate with investment institutions in advance. Given his reputation and the prospect of the online car-hailing project, investment institutions should line up to find him.

In this way, the solution to the 40 billion funding gap in the early stage of the online car-hailing project was decided, that is, to sell part of the equity in the online car-hailing project through the introduction of foreign capital, in exchange for the necessary funds. development fund.

"Let me talk about the next work arrangement, which is mainly related to Jiang Yang and has nothing to do with you guys." Zhou Fei smiled and continued, "After you go back this time, immediately arrange online car-hailing As for the development of the client, I will discuss the specific requirements with you later, as for the financing prospectus, I will hand it over to you, and you will strive to complete this work in a short time."

"What's more, the client doesn't need to be redeveloped, just add a function option to the original Flying Chi travel client." Zhou Fei then added.

Sharing a client can save a lot of development costs.

In the following time, Zhou Fei emphasized to Jiang Yang the specific development requirements of the online car-hailing platform in detail, and then several people walked out of the meeting room.

"You guys don't have to worry about online car-hailing. It's enough for me and Jiang Yang to be in charge. Manage the companies under your command well and strive to generate more income. Otherwise, you will worry about start-up funds like today. The opportunity is yet to come." Zhou Fei said to several people while walking.

But if other people know that Zhou Fei needs as much as 100 billion start-up funds this time, I'm afraid they will be scared to death.

Due to the urgency of the matter, Jiang Yang returned to Gusu the next morning. Before leaving, Zhou Fei found him on purpose and emphasized it to him.

"...The two projects currently added to Autohome are all projects that need to burn money. It is impossible for car sharing to achieve profitability in a short period of time. As for the online car-hailing service, although it does need a lot of money now As the backing of the funds, but as long as we operate properly, I guarantee that we will be able to achieve profitability within three years, so you should not put too much pressure on it, and you should not blame me for entrusting these projects to you."

Zhou Fei put his arm around Jiang Yang's shoulder and said.

Autohome was originally able to achieve profitability, but because of the establishment of the car-sharing business this year, the financial statements of Autohome suddenly became much uglier, and the profit also dropped sharply. The financial statements of Autohome must be negative.

Jiang Yang is now the second-in-command of the group, and his promotion speed is as fast as riding a rocket. Zhou Fei worried that he would be under too much pressure, so before the project started, he had a chat with him, which was regarded as a psychological counseling.

"How could I blame Brother Fei? If Brother Fei didn't trust me, why would he entrust me with such two important projects? It's just that I can't keep up with your speed in thinking, Brother Fei. I'm ashamed, as long as Brother Fei doesn't dislike me for being unresponsive." Jiang Yang replied embarrassingly.

"Then you can't compare with me. My brain is from another planet, so I know more things than you." Zhou Fei replied half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Jiang Yang took this sentence purely as a joke, and couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, I've finished what I have to say. You have to bear these pressures if you can bear them. If you can't bear them, you still have to bear them. Before the group goes public, we must spread all these businesses!" Zhou Fei patted his back back, said ambitiously.

***
In the following time, Zhou Fei and Jiang Yang will be divided into two groups. One will be responsible for the preparation of the financing prospectus, and the other will be responsible for the construction of the online car-hailing platform. The financing of the project must be carried out. Only when the funds are in place can the relevant business be carried out.

The preparation of the financing prospectus does not require Zhou Fei to do it himself, he only needs to arrange the work to the finance department, and Zhou Fei only needs to put forward corresponding requirements.

After repeated discussions between Zhou Fei and the finance department, the total amount of external financing this time is 30 billion yuan, and the remaining 10 billion yuan will be obtained in the form of bonds.

In return, the 30 billion financing will get a 3% stake in Feichi Travel, that is to say, Zhou Fei's current valuation of Feichi Travel is 1000 billion.Of course, this 1000 billion is only from the current stage. In the long run, the market value of Mercedes-Benz is definitely more than this figure. It is conservatively estimated that the market value should be more than 5000 billion yuan!

At the same time, Zhou Fei also added an equity repurchase clause in the financing prospectus, stipulating that after five years, Zhou Fei has the right to compulsorily repurchase all the equity at the market price.

To put it bluntly, the 30 billion is equivalent to being borrowed by Zhou Fei. It is just a special way of borrowing. It does not appear as a debt in the financial statements, but as equity, and it will not worsen the financial leverage of the group. .

This time, Zhou Fei is really helpless in opening up the external financing of the online car-hailing project. The reason why he added the repurchase clause is that Zhou Fei still hopes that before the official listing, the equity of any company in the group will not be touched by outsiders.

After repeated revisions by the finance department, the financing prospectus for the online car-hailing project was officially finalized, and the next step was to put this project in the financial circle and explode it.
