"Well said, Mr. Jiang!"

As soon as he returned to his seat from the stage, President Wang started to flatter him about his business.

Jiang Hao finally felt relieved now, although he was used to speaking in such large occasions.

But before I finish speaking, I tend to think about this matter in my mind.

Now that I have some free time, I will spend the next period of time listening to speeches by outstanding representative enterprises in the province.

After about an hour, the entire meeting entered the intermission and tea break period.

Compared to others who had to queue up to enjoy the exquisite tea break, the treatment of the people around Jiang Hao was completely different.

The staff of Songjiang Municipal Government brought the tea snacks to everyone during the tea break and asked everyone what they would like to drink.

In just one or two years, Jiang Hao went from being just a person who attended some conferences for tea breaks to someone else.

Now his identity has changed and he has become a very important guest at the conference.

He did not need to queue up for the tea break himself, but someone from the organizer would be sent to serve him.

The three of them scooped tiramisu with small spoons. After taking a few bites, Mr. Wang started a conversation with him again.

"Boss Jiang, your promotional model for live streaming is very novel!"

"You know how old people bring in new people to promote your business? Do you mind if Meituan learns from you?"

"Don't mind. This is not a technical patent."

Jiang Hao quickly waved his hands, looking unconcerned.

At the same time, he took a sip of the organizer's coffee and frowned for a moment, but soon relaxed.

Having gotten used to drinking their own "Jiang Yu" coffee, Jiang Hao is now a little picky about coffee.

The coffee served by this organizer was obviously instant Nestle coffee.

Although the taste is good, instant coffee is ultimately not as good as the coffee you make yourself.

Especially since the tiramisu, a pastry for the tea break, tasted so good, the coffee seemed a bit ordinary.

On the contrary, the aroma of the black tea in Mayor You's hand was so fragrant that Jiang Hao couldn't help but raise his hand to ask for another cup of black tea.

"Boss Jiang, I have a question. Is it convenient for me to ask it?"

After going around in circles for a while, Mr. Wang finally spoke again and got straight to the point.

In the conversation just now, Jiang Hao had actually felt it a long time ago.

Mr. Wang came to attend the conference with Mr. Lei today just for me.

At the moment, I nodded silently, not knowing Mr. Wang's actual intention.

"The development momentum of Chinchilla Technology is obviously very good and the potential is huge!"

"Is the reason you left Totoro really because you want to start a new company?"

At this moment, Mr. Lei also put down the small cake in his hand, turned his head and looked at him with full attention.

There were not many people in the front row of the venue at the moment, and it was even a bit noisy, so not many people could hear the close communication between the three of them.

Jiang Hao was not in a hurry to answer at this moment, but was thinking about the reason why Mr. Wang asked these questions.

Meituan has now reached its D round of financing with a total valuation of US$70 billion.

This is also the reason why Mr. Wang is only one place behind him on the Forbes rich list.

There are many investors behind Meituan, and Alibaba should be the main investor in the previous rounds besides capital companies.

But in his impression, Tencent seems to be the largest investor of Meituan in the future.

Thinking about this at this point in time, Jiang Hao vaguely understood something.

"Mr. Wang, is your Meituan preparing for the next round of financing? Are you worried about Tencent entering Meituan?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhong nodded at him, with a hint of anxiety flashing across his face.

At the same time, he turned his head and looked around, and found that the area near the three people was actually like a vacuum zone.

Mayor You has also left his seat at this moment, communicating with some other Internet companies behind him, and he continues to speak directly.

"Recently, Tencent has been discussing with me that it intends to merge Dianping into our Meituan."

"The conditions are shares, including priority to lead the E round."

After these words were spoken, Jiang Hao understood Mr. Wang's feelings even more.

It's no wonder that Mr. Wang came to Songjiang City specifically to attend this conference, as it is clearly a critical moment in the struggle among Meituan, Ele.me, and Baidu Takeout.

I was a little panicked by Jiang Hao's sudden withdrawal from Totoro Technology, and I was worried that Tencent had the same idea about Meituan.

Although Mr. Ma has known Mr. Wang for a long time, he is not sure how much he trusts him in this kind of cooperation.

At this level, there is actually no problem for them to sit together and communicate and express goodwill to each other.

But it’s not about what he said, but what Tencent did.

What Tencent has done now makes Mr. Wang very unsure of its fate.

His original intention was to let Tencent balance Alibaba's equity in the company, but he was more afraid of what would happen if one side became particularly strong.

Or maybe the two big groups reached an agreement to kick him, the founder, out first.

"Boss Wang, regarding Totoro Technology, I originally intended to withdraw."

"I personally think that the live streaming industry still has potential, but the potential is not that great and does not meet my expectations."

"However, Tencent itself was considering secretly acquiring some shares at the time, whether in the secondary market or the shares of some shareholders of the company."

Jiang Hao neither smeared nor exaggerated, he just stated the facts.

Now he has quietly entered the circle of new top Internet founders, and there are only these few people in the circle.

Jiang Hao’s new company, Haijing Technology, hasn’t started yet, so he doesn’t want to make enemies with these bigwigs in the circle for the time being. He just wants to discuss the matter at hand.

I don’t want to offend Tencent, and at the same time I want to show goodwill to Mr. Wang.

"Mr. Wang, there is one thing I feel very deeply about my cooperation with Tencent."

"Oh? What is it?"

"Before the company went public, Tencent was indeed trustworthy and did not do anything tricky."

"At the same time, the support they gave me at the time was very strong, and it was no less than the support they gave me for similar business line projects within the group."

Jiang Hao's words made Mr. Wang on the opposite side fall into deep thought.

It is indeed not easy to compete with several big capitals before your own strength is strong enough.

Unlike Mr. Lei, who is now starting a new business, Xiaomi Technology.

Even though the company has other investors, it is absolutely confident in its control over Xiaomi Technology because it has money.

At the same time, they have absolute autonomy in financing the company's development, and would rather go slower than give up something.

"Boss Jiang, can we discuss Dibao Technology's financing after the conference ends today?"

Mr. Lei took over the topic at this moment. Compared with Mr. Wang, he came here this time to further confirm some information about Tencent with him.

From the beginning to the end, Mr. Lei came here for Dibao Technology.

"No problem. I have already communicated with all shareholders in advance."

"Professor Duan is also willing to release 20% of the equity for financing."

"We still need to discuss the specific valuation. The 50 billion valuation is not what Professor Duan expected."

After hearing this, Mr. Lei finally felt relieved and spoke very generously.

"We can slowly negotiate the price. As long as it's not excessive, we at Xiaomi can accept a little premium!"
