Who is reborn and still has sex? It’s better to make money!

Although Jiang Yang was a bit busy this New Year, it was indeed a bumper year with huge harvests.

First of all, the issue of Ziroom’s financing was negotiated smoothly.

The A round of financing was 45 billion yuan, led by Warburg Pincus.

Although Jiang Yang and Zhang Mengnan's shares were diluted a lot, such a large amount of funds can basically be said to have announced Ziroom's success in the rental market.

Once this funding is in place, Ziroom can start a rapid expansion mode.

In addition to this matter, another thing that made Jiang Yang happiest was that Zhang Yiming came to him.

He doesn't know much about ByteDance, because the algorithm technology involved is so advanced that even Alibaba and Penguin cannot achieve it.

Therefore, if he wants to get involved in ByteDance-related industrial projects, he can only use the method of advance registration and set up this plan. It would be best if he could attract Zhang Yiming to come and ask for trademarks, website addresses, etc.

If they can't attract people, they will just start a new business and change their name, and there's nothing we can do about it.

Fortunately, he was lucky and Zhang Yiming really came to him.

"Mr. Jiang is really young and promising!"

Although I was mentally prepared, knowing that Jiang Yang was a college student.

But Zhang Yiming was still a little shocked after seeing Jiang Yang.

He started his business early. In the past few years, he worked with others on the Kuxun.com, Fanfou.com and Hainei.com projects, but they all failed in the end due to the difficulty in raising funds and realizing profits.

It was not until the Jiujiufang project that he could be considered a true entrepreneurial success.

However, although his business was finally successful, he felt that the era of mobile Internet was coming in full force and more huge changes would happen in the future.

The Jiujiufang project is estimated to be only a small project in the future.

So, last year, after serious consideration, he resigned from the position of CEO of Jiujiufang, and then took the funds given to him by several investors and began to prepare for his "fifth venture."

During the Chinese New Year this year, he finally determined the entrepreneurial direction of his new project.

After we decided on the name and were preparing to register the trademark and related website, we found out that they had all been registered by others.

After thinking for a while, he decided to contact someone to see if he could buy it at a lower price.

If it really doesn't work, then think of another way.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they got in touch, the other party said that he wanted to invest in him and that they could have a face-to-face meeting. If they could reach a cooperation, he would transfer the trademark for free.

Before coming, he looked up information about Jiang Yang on the Internet.

There is very little personal information about Jiang Yang on the Internet and not much can be found.

However, based on what Jiang Yang said about Ziroom and Cha Yan Yue Se, Zhang Yiming still found out some things.

He has also heard that Ziroom and Cha Yan Yue Se are currently very popular in the investment circle.

Especially the previous advertisement in Zhang Mengnan's style, which was quite popular on the Internet and made Ziru very popular.

I originally thought that this was all Zhang Mengnan's work, but now it seems that the real mastermind behind this is Jiang Yang.

Are today’s college students so awesome?

He hasn't even graduated yet, but he has already created such a successful project. This is much more impressive than him.

"Same here, Mr. Zhang too." Jiang Yang smiled and shook hands with Zhang Yiming. This is the person who will replace Baidu in the future and stand shoulder to shoulder with Alibaba and Penguin to become one of the new BAT troika.

As long as this cooperation is successfully negotiated, he can almost rest on his laurels afterwards.

All the projects he is working on now combined cannot compare to the future of ByteDance.

Zhang Yiming replied: "No, I can't compare with Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang's Ziroom and Cha Yan Yue Se have been very successful in terms of monetization and profitability. I can't compare with them at all."

Jiang Yang said, "Then let's stop flattering each other and talk business. I want to be an angel investor in Mr. Zhang's new project."

"Why would Mr. Jiang want to invest in me?"

Zhang Yiming asked curiously.

It is definitely a good thing for him as an entrepreneur that someone wants to invest.

But he was a little confused.

When it comes to investment, you can only attract people if you know them well or if the project looks good.

First, he and Jiang Yang didn't know each other, and second, his new project hadn't been registered yet. How could it be attractive to Jiang Yang?

"Because I think you are very capable." Jiang Yang said.

"Why do you think so?" Zhang Yiming couldn't help but ask again.

Jiang Yang said: "The Jiujiufang you started before was very successful. I am very optimistic about you and have learned about you."

Zhang Yiming replied: "Jiujiufang is indeed doing well, but my new project has not even started yet. Do you think I can succeed, Mr. Jiang?"

"Yes, what is your positioning of ByteDance?" Jiang Yang asked.

Zhang Yiming said: "Collection and distribution of information, summarizing the content that users are interested in and need based on big data"

Jiang Yang smiled and said, "I am also optimistic about this. I think the future belongs to the era of big data. You see, we are very compatible."

Zhang Yiming also laughed: "Indeed, I also want to register other trademarks of Mr. Jiang, such as Jinri Toutiao and Neihan Duanzi. It's quite amazing that we can think of so many similar project names."

"So, this is fate." Jiang Yang replied.

After hearing this, Zhang Yiming smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying yes.

Next, the two talked a lot about the future prospects of these projects.

Jiang Yang doesn’t know much about the technology involved, so he can only talk briefly about the different positioning of the project.

In this regard, he was always right, and Zhang Yiming kept confirming him with a look of admiration.

By the end of the conversation, Zhang Yiming almost regarded Jiang Yang as a close friend.

"In fact, Mr. Jiang, you can do it yourself."

Zhang Yiming couldn't help but say.

Jiang Yang replied, "Humans have limited energy. Ziru and Cha Yan Yue Se are both in the expansion stage. I don't have the energy to start another business. It just so happens that you and I are compatible. Since you have this idea, I might as well invest in you. I will also be happy to have some free time. If you produce results, I will share the profits directly. How great is that!"

Zhang Yiming nodded and asked, "How much does Mr. Jiang plan to invest?"

This is understandable. After becoming successful, some bigwigs stop starting their own businesses and transform themselves into investors.

Although Jiang Yang has not reached that stage yet, he currently has business to take care of and indeed does not have any more energy.

"This number."

Jiang Yang stretched out two fingers.

"Two million? Sure." Zhang Yiming replied.

This number is not large, but it is already a lot at the seed round stage.

After all, the company has not been registered yet, which is earlier than the angel round.

He estimated in his mind that, taking into account the money given by several other investors, he would have to give out about one-fifth of the shares out of a total investment of two million.

"No, it's 20 million." Jiang Yang shook his head.

"Twenty million?!" Zhang Yiming's eyes widened in shock. "Boss Jiang, this amount is too much. I'm afraid even if I give you all my shares, it won't be enough!"

In the process of starting a business, attracting investment is essential.

However, Zhang Yiming now feels that investors have given too much.

This can be said to be the first time in history.

Jiang Yang smiled and replied: "Not really, just give me half of the shares."

After hearing this, Zhang Yiming fell silent.

He wanted to hold the power of the company in his own hands. If he handed over half of it, he would be working for Jiang Yang and the company would no longer belong to him.

Moreover, if the project does well, there will be angel rounds, A rounds, B rounds, etc., and the equity will continue to be diluted.

After all this journey, he only had a few left.

Of course, the advantage is that now we can directly get 20 million, which greatly improves the success rate of the project.

Even if he failed, he would probably be able to keep some money for himself.

After a mental struggle, Zhang Yiming smiled and said embarrassedly: "Mr. Jiang, a company is just starting out, so we don't actually need that much capital. You invested so much money, and I'm worried that I'll lose it all!"

"Mr. Zhang is reluctant to give up so many shares, right?" Jiang Yang said directly, without disguising, "I understand. How about this? I'll pay you 10 million and give me 35% of the shares. Don't worry, I won't compete with you for the dominance of the company."

It would definitely be best to reach an agreement with Zhang Yiming, this is a big fish.

Therefore, Jiang Yang is not greedy and does not necessarily want so many shares.

After listening to this, Zhang Yiming thought for a while and then agreed: "Okay, I wish us a happy cooperation!"

In fact, he is not so short of money. With the success of Jiujiufang, he has no shortage of investors.

However, there are still few people as generous as Jiang Yang.

Besides, I had a pleasant chat with Jiang Yang, we shared similar ideas, and he also wanted a series of trademarks.

Therefore, he finally agreed to let Jiang Yang join the game.

"Happy cooperation!"

Jiang Yang smiled and shook hands with Zhang Yiming.
