Who doesn’t want to make money after being reborn?

"I'm here to raise funds!"

After sitting down, Liu Dong couldn't wait to express his intention.

It’s okay not to be in a hurry!

Jingdong’s stall is too big and there are financial gaps everywhere.

The key is that the gap is getting bigger and bigger, and there is a faint trend that it is beyond control.

The loan couldn't be obtained.

I found a lot of big guys for financing, but... all the conditions were extremely harsh.

In particular, foreign consortiums such as Sequoia Capital and Goldman Sachs Capital are basically here for controlling interests.

no solution anymore.

Only then did he bite the bullet and find Luo Hui, who was busy raising funds for Interstellar Pictures.

"Brother Dong, why did you think of asking me for financing?"

Luo Hui was startled by Liu Dong's request and hurriedly explained: "This is not a matter of money. The key is that if I invest in Jingdong, I need the approval of the antitrust agency."

"ByteDone owns WeChat, TT, and Today's Hot Topics. The three major platforms are already very eye-catching."

"Coupled with the investment in the two e-commerce platforms 8848 and Pinxixi, this has hit a red line and I dare not invest in other e-commerce platforms."

“Antitrust is no joke.”

"..."

while explaining.

Luo Hui also quickly recalled the development history of Jingdong Company in his mind.

In fact, the development speed of Jingdong Mall has been very good after its opening, and all major capital forces are optimistic about it.

Financing is not difficult.

The key is that Dong Ge is only willing to open up the right to share dividends to foreign investors and is not willing to let go of management rights.

As a result, he had a very unhappy relationship with foreign capital. He was even deceived out of the country and framed for no reason, forcing Brother Dong to hand over the management rights of Jingdong Mall.

In the end, it didn't work.

According to the timeline, Jingdong has not received the most critical sixth round of financing at this time.

It is estimated that there was another dispute with foreign capital over management rights, and he had no choice but to ask for help.

"Brother, let me tell you the truth. It's not that we can't raise money for Jingdong Mall. The key is that I don't want foreign capital to control the management."

Brother Dong bit his lip and told the truth.

"Don't worry, I also have this habit, so when I raised funds, I didn't go to those financial consortiums in the West at all, but went directly to the princes of the Middle East."

"You can help me now."

"Didn't you try to find Brother Xiao Ma? It shouldn't be difficult for him to invest in Jingdong Mall now."

"I'm going to try to find Brother Ma after I finish looking for you."

"No need to go, let's connect now and see if we can think of a solution."

"I need a lot of money."

"How many?"

"About 600 million U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to about 4.5 billion soft girl coins."

"It's okay. This little money shouldn't be a problem for Brother Ma. I'll make a video call."

"Thank you."

It’s not that I don’t want to help.

But, Luo Hui really didn't dare to help.

Although the anti-monopoly measures have not yet been implemented in detail at this time, the knife will fall sooner or later.

He didn't want to stick his neck out.

Avoid it if you can.

After briefly understanding the details, he took out his mobile phone and made a video call with Brother Xiao Ma.

In the mobile phone screen, Brother Ma looked very surprised: "Why did Mr. Luo suddenly remember to make a video call to me?"

"Make a deal!"

Luo Hui didn't beat around the bush and made the request directly.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to the back room."

"It's not a big deal, I just want to discuss with you the 17% of WeChat shares you hold."

"Don't discuss it, I won't sell it!"

"Exchange! Can I exchange the shares of Jingdong Mall with you for the shares of WeChat?"

"Do you have shares in Jingdong Mall?"

"Well, prepare to invest some money."

"How much to vote?"

"Invest about 10 billion."

"Such a small amount of money is not comparable to the 17% of the shares in my hand. You are not sincere enough."

"Are you tempted?"

"If it's Jingdong, I'd be a little tempted."

"Ten billion Jingdong Mall shares, in exchange for 5% of your WeChat shares, do you want to do it?"

"You don't plan to take back all your shares?"

"Not that much money!"

"Good guy, you are still short of money. Isn't the WeChat fund pool very abundant?"

"Damn, that's not my money. Supervision is very strict."

“The price is right, done!”

"Well, Zhang Long's position as CEO remains unchanged and he will continue to be in charge of WeChat."

"do not worry?"

"I believe in Zhang Long's character."

"...It feels like I'm swearing. Can't you believe me?"

"Brother Liu Dong is here with me. The investment agreement will be signed tomorrow morning, and then we will carry out the equity swap."

"You haven't voted yet?"

"Nonsense, how can I dare to invest money if I can't handle the equity swap?"

"What do you mean?"

"Bytedance Group is too big, and holding shares in Jingdong Mall will definitely break the antitrust red line."

"This... it's not a big problem, I haven't seen it checked by the superiors."

"We are wearing shoes now. We must be careful when doing things and not be reckless."

"Damn it, where did your courage go when you fooled Jack Ma?"

"It's settled, don't change!"

"Wait, why do I feel betrayed by you?"

"What do you mean?"

"I have money in my hand and can directly invest in Jingdong Mall. Why should I play equity swap with you?"

“Are you still reluctant to part with WeChat’s shares?”

"Nonsense! Why should I let go of a project that is just lying around to make money?"

"I'm sorry, I took some risks and invested in Jingdong Mall, leaving you no chance to invest."

"Actually... I'm more optimistic about WeChat's shares."

“Jingdong’s potential is no less than WeChat.”

"Let me think."

"Moji! Then I'll invest first. At worst, I'll sell the shares to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission."

"I have thought clearly. I want WeChat shares not Jingdong shares."

"goodbye!"

"You don't want to spend two cents more?"

"You're too ugly!"

"Depend on!"

"..."

The wishful thinking was not done well.

Luo Hui smiled awkwardly at Brother Dong and hung up the video call: "Okay, now let's discuss investment."

"Really plan to invest 10 billion?"

The little thing hanging in Liu Dong's throat finally fell into his stomach.

"Well, 10 billion, how many shares can you give me?"

"About 5.27 million, accounting for 17.8% of the shares."

"so much?"

"Common stock, no management rights."

"Defend me?"

"Other than myself, no other shareholder has management rights."

"How much share do you own?"

"About 15%."

"Okay, I will invest tens of billions in Jingdong in the name of ByteDance, and then provide tens of billions of credit lines to Jingdong Mall through MYbank. Is the money enough?"

"Brother, are you serious?"

"Online Bank also needs to make money. It is not easy to find a reputable company. I think Jingdong Mall has good development prospects."

"thanks, thanks."

"You're welcome, I just don't want foreign capital to get too involved in the management of Jingdong Mall. I'm quite busy this year, so I'll use this money first. When I go to the Middle East to discuss business, I'll introduce you to a few princes and get a bigger financing deal. "

"..."

Luo Hui knew the layout of Jingdong Mall clearly.

Throwing one to two billion into it won't actually make much splash.

Especially the establishment of self-operated brands is purely a brand created with money.
