I was reborn and stayed in school to lie down. I really don’t want to roll anymore!

"Where did you say you were from?"

After hearing the words "Hillhouse Capital", Jiang Hao felt a huge sense of surprise in his mind.

At this time, he continued to confirm it with some disbelief.

"Mr. Jiang, we are from Hillhouse Capital."

Gao Yan was very patient on the other end of the phone and introduced himself again.

"It was Professor Zheng who gave me your company's data. Mr. Jiang, can you guarantee the authenticity of this data?"

"That's no problem! These are all real backend data. Our company still has some credibility."

Jiang Hao tried hard to remain calm, but his voice was still full of excitement.

"Mr. Jiang, judging from your company's data, it is very good and has great potential. Would it be convenient for us to have a colleague come over to do some research?"

"If you are not available, you can just ask your company's administration to receive you. I promise not to disturb the normal operation of your company."

"Whenever you're free, you're free! You're welcome anytime, Manager Gao. How about you leave me your personal contact information?"

"When our team members come, our company will definitely entertain them well."

At this moment, Jiang Hao was completely alert and paid great attention to the other party's plan to send someone to conduct research.

There was even a flattering attitude that made Gao Yan on the opposite side chuckle.

"Haha! Mr. Jiang, I'll trouble you then."

"The entire survey may take two to three days if it is fast, and a week if it is slow."

"If the data authenticity is not much different, we at Hillhouse Capital are very willing to invest in Totoro Live."

It was not until the call was hung up and Jiang Hao put the receiver back that he felt as if he was finally liberated.

He stood up on the spot and clenched his fist and waved it vigorously in the air.

As one of the top venture capital companies in China, it is also a top capital company that loves to lead the A and B rounds of investment.

Currently, well-known groups such as Baidu, Tencent, JD.com, Ctrip, Uber, Midea, Gree, etc. have their investments.

It can be said that being noticed and invested by Hillhouse Capital is itself a recognition of its Totoro live broadcast.

Jiang Hao had originally dreamed of receiving an olive branch from this company, and this time it actually came true.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao couldn't help but take out his cell phone and call Professor Zheng.

"Teacher Jiang?"

"Haha! You called me at this time. Did the person I mentioned contact you? How is it? Are you satisfied?"

Professor Zheng on the other end of the phone was laughing brightly, not at all the seriousness he had when he left yesterday.

"Satisfied, satisfied!"

"I never thought I would receive an invitation from Hillhouse Capital. Professor Zheng, thank you so much this time!"

To be honest, although Jiang Hao knew the situation of his company, especially the accumulation of underlying user data had reached a certain scale, it was a good start.

But unfortunately he had no resources and couldn't contact any investors or capital.

If they want to attract the attention of such top-level capital, unless the other party discovers Totoro Live among various good projects, all they can do is wait.

Jiang Hao couldn't afford to wait for the other party to discover the project on his own initiative. There are so many good projects every year. Not to mention the difficulty, he couldn't afford the time cost alone.

Professor Zheng's assists really solved a big problem for Jiang Hao!

If Hillhouse Capital is really behind us, as Asia's top private equity asset management company, the support it can provide will be even greater!

"Why thank me? I'm doing this for myself. After all, our Yifan Company will also invest, so we naturally hope that Totoro Company will develop better!"

"Moreover, your company's development potential is not only about going public, but also has greater potential. We alone cannot take it all!"

After hearing this, Jiang Hao began to understand Professor Zheng's expression yesterday.

So that’s what’s happening!

I think the development potential of Totoro Live is far beyond my expectations, so I am hesitating whether to find a big brother.

The resources required for this investment and subsequent financing may not be enough for local capital companies alone.

Having a reliable giant lead investor can, on the one hand, share the investment risk, and on the other hand, make the investment of one's own company more secure.

From the most fundamental perspective, only if Totoro Live develops better, the value of the equity they invested in will be higher.

So from this perspective, Professor Zheng is really not just helping him.

"Professor Zheng, no matter what, it is thanks to your recommendation that our Totoro Live has come into the limelight of Hillhouse Capital."

Jiang Hao was sincere in this. Even though Professor Zheng was more concerned about their own interests, it was thanks to Professor Zheng that he was able to help him find Hillhouse Capital.

If there is really such a capital willing to invest, Jiang Hao's Totoro Live will definitely have no problem making it to the C round and getting close to an IPO.

"Haha! It's a bit early to talk about this now. Wait until the financing is finalized."

"And I personally have some ideas that I would like to communicate with you in advance."

"Professor Zheng, please speak."

Jiang Hao naturally pays more attention to Professor Zheng's ideas now.

"I'm here to discuss your personal equity. If your company successfully completes the B round and you are considering selling some of your equity, you can give me priority."

"I will definitely acquire the company at a premium price, higher than the valuation of the company's previous financing!"

Jiang Hao was quite stunned by what Professor Zheng said. Could it be that Professor Zheng was a worm in his stomach?

How did he know that you were considering cashing out part of your shares before and even now?

Or is it that Professor Zheng remembered the incident in the early days when WeChat couldn't afford a watch so vividly that he felt that WeChat was really having difficulties in life?

Jiang Hao's mind was filled with a series of rapid thoughts at this moment, and the communication on the phone suddenly became cold.

"Teacher Jiang, it's okay. I mean if you have plans to make a move, you can consider me first."

Seeing that the atmosphere had become cold, Professor Zheng quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Professor Zheng, I was just wondering why you asked that."

"So that's how it is! There's nothing strange about this!"

"Most first-generation entrepreneurs don't have a lot of wealth, so it's common for them to not wait to go public or not have much confidence in themselves."

Seeing that Jiang Hao was just curious about this, Professor Zheng immediately explained in a relaxed tone.

"After all, for an investment company like us, no matter how much we invest, it's just one egg. We can afford the risk if the company doesn't go public."

"For you entrepreneurs, after years of hard work, your business collapsed before going public, leaving you with nothing. It's understandable that you want to cash out some of it in advance."

Jiang Hao could understand and agree with what he said more and more. It turned out that there were quite a few entrepreneurs who wanted to leave early or partially leave.

Yes, we are all the hard-working first generation pioneers. After working so hard for so many years, we must have a bottom line.

For an investment company, it is just one of the many companies it invests in.

But for entrepreneurs, it is everything, and it is common for the first generation of entrepreneurs to think like him.

Professor Zheng has been investing for so many years and probably has met many entrepreneurs like him.

And it really touched his heart, at least for him.

Even though Totoro Live has such huge potential now, the road to an IPO is still difficult and fraught with difficulties.

At the same time, it is still difficult for him to give up the idea of ​​cashing out in advance.
