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

"Boss Jiang, you should be preparing to start the B round, right?"

"Yes! I am planning to start the B round of financing soon. The company has almost spent all the money."

"If Tencent Group leads the B round, would you mind?"

Jiang Hao had already had psychological expectations after listening to Mr. Zhang's very straightforward words.

Tencent Group is now like on a honeymoon with its own company. Although there is no financing, it has allocated extra resources to many collaborations.

Otherwise, their development would not be as fast as it is now.

Jiang Hao doesn't mind at all being financed by Tencent, as it's nice to have a big tree to lean on for shade!

"Okay! Then I'll help you contact Mr. Ma as soon as possible."

"Someone from their group should contact you in the next two days."

"Based on your company's current data, I think Mr. Ma will bleed a lot this time! Haha!"

……

A few days ago, Jiang Hao was thinking about the huge achievements of Totoro Live.

I haven’t received any calls from the two investors behind me, and I’m feeling a little anxious.

However, it was not until the next afternoon that he finally communicated with Mr. Zhang on the phone.

Mr. Zhang has personally taken Gao Yan and his companion to Songjiang City.

Of course, there are not only the two of them in the company, but also a professional team of nearly ten people behind them.

"Boss Zhang, and Manager Gao, let me introduce you two."

"This is my current assistant, and the person in charge of the company's daily affairs, Hu Sen."

"This is our company's current senior vice president, Chen Peng."

"Manager Gao, you met with Vice President Chen last time. He is still in charge of the company's entire technical team."

In the company of Totoro Live, Jiang Hao also brought several senior executives of the company to introduce themselves to General Manager Zhang and Manager Gao.

This was also the first time Jiang Hao met the founder of Hillhouse Capital, Mr. Zhang Lei.

He had a 3:7 hairstyle, a pair of black-framed glasses, a round face, and a chin that was a little blue from shaved beard.

Although he is forty years old, he actually looks a few years younger when facing each other.

He looks like a science and engineering guy, but according to information online, he actually has a liberal arts background.

At this time, Mr. Zhang was also looking at Jiang Hao with great interest, and listening to Jiang Hao introduce the other two people.

Of course, there are more than just the two of them present in the company.

Professor Zheng from Yifan Investment also arrived at the company early this afternoon, also with several employees following him.

On the contrary, Lu Weiming hurried over from Fuyang City after receiving a call from Jiang Hao in the morning.

I had just arrived at the company not long ago, and the sweat on my forehead had not yet disappeared even under the cold air conditioning.

After the parties greeted each other, Mr. Zhang took over the topic.

"Boss Jiang, I'll have to ask you to find someone to lead our manager Gao's team to conduct research in the company first."

"After all, this is a Series B round of financing, and the situations of many companies will directly affect the smooth progress of the financing."

"Let them go through it in the company and give some specific suggestions."

For capital companies like Hillhouse Capital that like to focus on venture capital.

The most professional part of the team is finding good projects to invest in and helping the invested projects to smoothly enter the next few rounds.

"Assistant Hu, Lao Chen, please take Manager Gao's team downstairs."

"Try to meet any requests they make, and write down any suggestions they make. We'll go over them together when the time comes."

Compared to the A round, Jiang Hao no longer has to fight alone!

Especially with the introduction of top capital such as Hillhouse Capital, not only can the lead investor in Round B help with communication first.

It will also help sort out the company’s internal situation, especially the control of some financial risks.

Even if you don’t attach much importance to the platform’s revenue in the B round, you still have to have it.

Including some other company suggestions, of course many of them may not be suitable for company development, but they are definitely suitable for financing.

At least before the next round of investors pay, Jiang Hao will let the company pretend for a while.

After Professor Zheng’s team also went downstairs to conduct research.

Several shareholders of their A round are finally discussing the situation of the B round of financing in Jiang Hao's office.

"Boss Jiang, I have already had a brief conversation with Boss Ma."

"I have also forwarded the data you sent us to Mr. Ma."

"Did you receive any calls today?"

"Yes, I received a call from the person in charge of Tencent Investment this morning."

When news spread throughout the entire capital circle, it was extremely fast.

At around eight o'clock this morning, he received a call from Qu Hui, the head of Tencent's M&A investment department.

Since it was their first communication, the two simply greeted each other and exchanged some specific intentions.

Manager Qu also asked him for a lot more detailed information, including platform data from a period of time ago.

Jiang Hao did not hide the fact that he wanted to do a more detailed analysis and had someone send the data over.

"Mr. Ma is currently very interested in your project and the entire live broadcast industry. The senior management of his company is also planning to enter this field."

"We have been setting up a team within the company to enter the live broadcast field, and we have some ideas about your Totoro Live Broadcast."

This is indeed Tencent's usual practice. Now it has been listed and has become wealthy.

Even if you and your partners are very close in your cooperation with their company's platform, you should never put all your eggs in one basket.

However, Jiang Hao was reborn, and Penguin Esports did not take the live broadcast platform established by Tencent seriously at all.

The current situation is the same as what he experienced in his previous life. The team within Tencent has not yet been fully formed.

Maybe this is the disease of big companies. There is some infighting and internal friction within the big group.

Jiang Hao was not clear about the specific situation within Tencent, but he was clear about one thing.

After another year or so, when Tencent has made adjustments and officially launches the project, their company may be close to the C round.

Even if Tencent invests a lot of resources, there is no way Totoro Live will lose to it!

When it comes to Internet traffic, the first platform to occupy it will occupy it.

Want to grab other people's traffic or expand your own traffic.

Unless the overall pie continues to grow, we can only wait for our opponents to make major mistakes.

Apart from these two items, the difficulty would have been so great that even Tencent would not have been able to accomplish it in its previous life.

“Since you are not opposed to Tencent leading the B round of financing, then let’s proceed in this direction first.”

"Gao Yan and I came here this time to help Totoro with some details of the live broadcast."

"The most important thing is that we want to determine the financing valuation in advance, including the shares to be transferred."

As expected, with the financing provided by Hillhouse Capital, this round of work has become much more comfortable.

At least Jiang Hao doesn't have to worry about too many things, including contacting investors and adjusting the company.

In fact, it is not easy for Jiang Hao to handle so many detailed management tasks with his ability.

Fortunately, senior Hu Sen is very capable now. If Jiang Hao hadn’t been busy with the final financing work, he would have been free of trouble long ago.

"Let's talk about the proportion of shares to be transferred first? My suggestion is not to exceed 20%. The best share to be transferred is 15%-20%. What do you think, Mr. Jiang?"

"I have no opinion."

After Jiang Hao finished speaking, he turned his gaze towards Professor Zheng standing beside him.

Professor Zheng was still very low-key today like last time and didn't say much.

He looked as if he wanted Zhang Lei to discuss the decision with the two of them, and when he saw Jiang Hao looking at him, he spoke quickly.

"I don't have any objection either."

Now the only shareholder left is Lu Weiming.

In fact, no one present cared about the attitude of the last person, Lu Weiming, and there was no topic that Lu Weiming could intervene in the conversation.

At this moment, he was half-awake, peeling oranges prepared in the office.

I have to say that the fruits that Jiang Hao asked Zhang Jing to prepare in the morning, especially the oranges, were quite delicious.

Lu Weiming had already eaten three in a row and was already holding the fourth.

Until this moment, the sound of communication in the entire office stopped.

Lu Weiming became a little alert and stopped peeling the orange.

He looked up and saw Jiang Hao winking at him, and Mr. Zhang and Professor Zheng from Hillhouse Capital were also looking at him.

Lu Weiming straightened his upper body as if by reflex.

He obediently put the half-peeled orange back on the coffee table.

He uttered a rather dramatic sentence.

"I have no opinion!"
