Rebirth starts with financial freedom

After Chen Ze got out of the car, he saw reporters frantically taking photos of him.

He frowned in discomfort, but didn't say anything.

This kind of thing cannot be hidden, and ByteDance has no intention of hiding it. It is impossible for them to give up at this moment of increasing the company's reputation.

Chen Ze walked in the front, Qian Jun was half a step behind this time, and followed by more than a dozen people from the investment department of Shengyao Group walked into the World Financial Center.

……

At this time, the huge business hall on the 24th floor was already crowded with people.

Bytedance employees are also busy, but everyone has a happy smile on their face.

Those who can come here are at least middle-level managers and above, and a large part of these people enjoy equity incentives.

The better the company develops, the more money they get, how can they not be happy?

"Sir, I'm from ByteDance's public relations department...please follow me this way."

"Friends from the media, please don't be crowded. Please go to the interview area consciously and don't stay here."

Waves of noisy sounds kept coming.

Compared with major capital companies, ByteDance employees are somewhat perfunctory with media personnel.

But those in the media...

The better you treat them, the less grateful they will be. On the contrary, they will be cautious if you don't take them seriously.

At this moment, ByteDance’s president Zhang Yiming walked out with all the senior executives.

Many people from investment companies had come before, but they were all entertained by ordinary employees, but now they showed up in person with a group of senior executives to greet them personally.

Everyone knows that the real boss is about to appear.

Just as everyone was holding their breath waiting for the big boss to appear, more than a dozen people appeared in front of everyone.

Before the reporters could even see who was coming, their fingers had already pressed the shutter button involuntarily.

Click, click, click!

For a moment, there was no other sound in the entire hall except the sound of keys.

"Mr. Sun from SoftBank."

"Mr. Yu from Yunfeng Fund."

"Mr. Shen from Sequoia Capital."

"Mr. Peng from Pan-Atlantic."

"I knew that apart from these few, it would be impossible for anyone else to be received by Zhang Yiming in person."

"Damn it, look over there, Mr. Qian of Shengyao Group is standing behind a young man."

"Holy shit, shit, shit!"

"The principal is half a step behind. What kind of immortal is he?"

“I’ve never seen it, I’ve never even heard of it!”

……

When Zhang Yiming saw the crowd, he immediately came over with a smile on his face: "Welcome to the Bytedance Financing Meeting."

He stretched out his hand and shook hands with everyone one by one.

"Hello, Mr. Sun."

"Hello, Mr. Peng."

"Mr. Shen..."

Soon Zhang Yiming came to Chen Ze.

When he saw Li Chao, Qian Jun and the principal standing behind Chen Ze, he was obviously stunned.

But he reacted quickly and immediately thought of the background of Shengyao Group. He quickly stretched out his hand and said to Chen Ze, "Hello, Mr. Chen."

"Hello, Mr. Zhang." Chen Ze stretched out his hand and shook it.

After a brief courtesy, he went to greet Li Chao and others.

Finally, Zhang Yiming smiled and said to everyone: "The financing meeting will start soon. I also ask all the bosses to take a short rest at the resting place arranged by the company."

After saying that, he immediately gestured to the men behind him.

Suddenly, the Bytedance executives behind Zhang Yiming moved in full force and walked towards the crowd.

Soon an urban beauty wearing secretary's clothes came to Chen Ze and others.

"I am Dong Xiu, Mr. Chen, Mr. Li, Mr. Wang, Mr. Qian, the consultants of ByteDance. Please come with me."

As the leading capital of this financing, Shengyao Group’s position is still far behind other small and medium-sized capital parties.

A large seat at the front was specially divided. At a glance, at least twenty people could sit there.

Some small and medium-sized capitals have a lot of people coming, but there are not many seats. They can only get a stool or stand aside.

Although they are both capital, the gap between capital is wider than the gap between humans and dogs.

"Mr. Chen, this is the place prepared for you Shengyao Group."

Dong Xiu stood aside and pointed at a golden guide plate and said to several people.

The golden guide board reads [Representative Area of ​​Shengyao Group].

"Thank you, Counselor Dong." Chen Ze nodded to her and thanked her.

"This is what we should do. The financing meeting will officially start in ten minutes. If you need anything, Mr. Chen, just contact our staff directly."

After seeing Chen Ze nod, Dong Xiu left on high heels.

Then everyone sat down one by one, and Chen Ze chatted casually with the principal and Li Chao.

But most of the time, the principal wanted to order a bulletproof car from Li Chao, but Li Chao wouldn't let go, leaving the principal very helpless.

Chen Ze was just snickering from the sidelines. Although his status was no longer ordinary, it was still interesting to see the principal frustrated.

While a few people were chatting, Byte CFO Zhou Shou appeared in front of everyone as the host.

“We welcome all employers and friends to the Bytedance site. On behalf of Bytedance, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you all.”

After the opening remarks were finished, everyone clapped and congratulated each other.

However, the following speeches were a bit boring. They were all words of thanks to the capital bosses from all walks of life for coming to support.

This alone delayed about half an hour.

Just when everyone felt bored, Zhou Shou finally got to the point.

"After the decision of a professional evaluation agency and the board of directors, we have tentatively positioned Bytedance's valuation at 100 billion U.S. dollars. The financing for this competition will be a silent auction, and major investors can give their expected valuation and share of the equity received. .

After the bidding ends, we will select several capital companies with the strongest intentions for final discussions! "

Chen Ze's face did not change at all after hearing this. From the moment he agreed to Li Chao, he already had 4% of ByteDance's shares in his hands. No one could take this away, not even Zhang Yiming. No, unless he no longer wants to live in the country.

On the other hand, the principal said with a chuckle: "According to this statement, 90% of the management here are here to show off."

"Haha." Chen Ze and Li Chao chuckled after hearing this, because the principal was really right.

As the financing meeting officially began, Dong Xiu, who had disappeared just now, came over with several staff members.

Under her instructions, several staff members placed the thick documents in their hands in front of several people.

"Mr. Chen, this is the development status of our ByteDance from the last financing to the present. You can check it out."

Chen Ze nodded slightly.
