At this moment, Professor Zheng, Lu Weiming, Mr. Zhang, and representatives from IDG and Sequoia Capital were already seated in the conference room.

Even until now, there are some detailed data of Totoro Live Company.

They have not been sorted out yet and have not been delivered to the hands of shareholders and investors.

After all, time is too tight, but the C round of financing is progressing smoothly.

At this moment, lawyers are carefully reading Tencent's draft financing plan.

Even though the price has not been determined, it is only Tencent’s unilateral intention.

However, the valuation of $14 billion still made the lawyers on all sides look serious, and they repeatedly discussed and compared some details of the contract.

However, before they had watched for long, one of the lawyers from Totoro Live Company frowned.

Then he took part of the contract, left the team, and came to Hu Sen.

"Mr. Hu, there seems to be something wrong with the contract!"

The lawyer frowned, and it was obvious that he was not sure about one of the contents.

"Oh? Just tell me, what's the problem?"

Hu Sen was sitting in his seat at this moment, spinning a pen with one hand, looking very skilled.

His face was very calm and he did not pay much attention to the problems discovered by the lawyer at this moment.

After all, this is still in the drafting stage and the important issues have not yet been discussed.

However, when the lawyer finished stating the problem, Hu Sen's expression couldn't help but change.

After taking the contract details, he pondered for a moment, then quickly stood up and came to Jiang Hao's side.

"Boss Jiang, did you agree on any financial matters when you talked to Boss Qi over the phone?"

"finance?"

"That's not the case. Is there any disagreement in the current contract?"

When Jiang Hao saw Hu Sen coming, he knew there was a problem with the contract.

But I never thought it would be a financial matter.

After Jiang Hao and Mr. Qi had that phone call, they actually communicated less.

After all, Mr. Qi was mocked by him! It's normal to have emotions.

However, Jiang Hao could still feel Mr. Qi's urgency on the phone at that time.

But in the WeChat communications over the next two days, there was no rush or slowness at all.

Even today in the conference room, several parties sat together.

The original intention was that while the lawyers were comparing the details, they were discussing the valuation of Totoro Live in order to reach a conclusion of the contract more quickly.

I wanted to finalize the contract quickly, but Mr. Qi was just drinking hot tea leisurely.

Unlike the anxious look of his legal team, it seemed that it was not his intention to bring the team here in a hurry this time.

In Jiang Hao's eyes, it seemed more like it was to... complete the mission?

"There are some disagreements regarding the company's financial supervision!"

"Tencent's financing plan stipulates that after the financing, the finances of Totoro Live will be supervised by Tencent Group."

"And the group will send a dedicated financial manager to supervise the financial processes of Totoro Live in the future."

"Isn't it just financial supervision? After all, they are the major shareholders, so our company can't restrict them from doing the necessary supervision!"

When Jiang Hao heard about this, he actually felt something was wrong.

But listening to the financial supervision, it seems to make sense.

Moreover, the first two rounds of financing also had clauses in this regard.

After all, representatives from several parties were in the conference room at the moment, so he pretended to be calm and responded to Hu Sen.

However, Hu Sen originally worked for one of the Big Four accounting firms, so he is very familiar with this area.

His expression was still serious at this moment. Seeing that Jiang Hao didn't seem to fully understand the situation, he hurriedly continued to explain.

"Boss Jiang, this is not just simple supervision."

"I have carefully read the specific supervisory and review authority agreed upon above."

"If we agree to the above terms, every account of Totoro Company in the future, even the content signed by you, as long as it involves funds, must be signed by the financial director sent by Tencent Group?"

Jiang Hao's expression changed when he heard Hu Sen say that.

"You mean, Tencent Group is going to completely supervise our finances after the financing?"

“If we sign this time, the company’s CFO will actually be useless?”

"Is Tencent Group completely at the mercy of the others in this regard?"

Seeing Hu Sen nodding at him seriously, Jiang Hao's face suddenly became serious.

I couldn't help but frown, thinking that this shouldn't be right!

Is Tencent so confident that they will agree to these terms?

You should know that Totoro Live has received a lot of financing invitations now.

However, from a practical perspective, including a development perspective, Tencent does have huge advantages, but it is not necessary for Tencent to raise funds, right?

There were two other lawyers in the meeting room, and they also separated from the large group of comparisons and discussions.

One went to Professor Zheng, and the other went to Mr. Zhang.

After all, it has reached the critical juncture of Round C financing.

Whether it is the lawyers of Totoro Live or the members of the legal team of other investors, they are the elites among the elites.

Some small details and tricks in the contract cannot escape their scrutiny.

Soon, Professor Zheng and Mr. Zhang, who were sitting opposite him, also looked a little strange.

However, this kind of supervision has no impact on them, after all, they are also investors.

The financial supervision proposed by Tencent is actually a beneficiary for them.

However, if we really consider the development of Totoro Live, especially the internal friction that will be caused by the implementation of this clause, the representatives of several parties are actually a little conflicted at this moment.

"Mr. Qi, there were no requirements for financial supervision in the B round, so why are there requirements for this round?"

Professor Zheng still supports Jiang Hao very much. Even though it is obviously a good thing for him to invest in the company, he still helps Jiang Hao to make inquiries.

As soon as the topic was brought up, several investors' representatives, including Jiang Hao himself, turned to look at Mr. Qi beside them.

"Boss Qi, regarding the financial agreement, there was no such item in the last two rounds!"

"It's not that I don't want the company's finances to be regulated, but I am considering that Totoro Live is in the development stage."

"Many times, efficiency is everything. If there is a problem with finance, we all know that it will affect the speed of development, not to mention the time to market."

Jiang Hao was not saying this to President Qi, but more to other investors' representatives, so as to quickly get rid of some negative impacts.

But don't really arouse their idea of ​​proposing to supervise the finances after the C round of financing.

If this product has really been launched on the market, Jiang Hao wouldn't care.

Anyway, his goal for the company is just to go public, and then he might just cash out directly.

Any company that wants to regulate finances can do so, and he even welcomes an external force to alert the company internally.

But that won’t work now. We really need this financial officer to supervise it.

Even though this financial officer was very cooperative, he invisibly increased the company's operating efficiency and put a huge constraint on Jiang Hao.

If they don’t cooperate or are not serious about it, the rapid development momentum of Totoro Live may be suppressed.
