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

As the meeting ended, Jiang Hao gave Hu Lijuan some special instructions.

The requirements for the three new business lines are actually not high, they are all common software applications.

If it weren't for the support of the Haijing main platform, there would be no way to get a share of the pie in these traditional application areas.

Fortunately, Haijing has now really embarked on a new path. Although these businesses do not make much money, every little bit counts, and it allows Haijing to further expand its layout.

The only thing that Jiang Hao was not prepared for was the company's funding.

He originally thought that he still had sufficient funds and planned to consider the C round next year.

Now it seems that this has to be done as soon as possible. After the C round begins, the company's business must also consider the overall revenue and make final preparations for the D, E rounds or direct listing.

……

That afternoon, Jiang Hao let Chen Hua drive the almost dusty Rolls-Royce Phantom.

I specifically found a car wash to wash the car and went to Songjiang Airport to pick someone up.

This luxury car is sometimes quite troublesome and even the small car shops nearby are unwilling to wash it.

They were afraid that if Jiang Hao scratched the car, he would have to ask them to pay for it, so in the end they had to go to a big car shop to wash the car.

"Ha! Mr. Jiang, you are so nice today! The car is so beautiful!"

After picking up Mr. Zhang from Hillhouse Capital at the airport, I led him all the way to the underground parking lot.

The moment he saw the car, Mr. Zhang grinned and started praising it.

"Haha! I bought it last year. I even paid a higher price to get the car sooner!"

"Who knew it would end up in the warehouse gathering dust? Today, I finally found you useful, Mr. Zhang!"

Jiang Hao was very familiar with Mr. Zhang, so he didn't say many nice words.

"Such a nice car, there's no need to pick me up. I'm still used to your company's Buick."

"You drove this car to pick me up, so I have to hold on to my wallet tightly, because you are aiming for something big!"

The two of them joked all the way to the Fortune Center Building.

Downstairs, Lin Lili was already waiting at the entrance of the first floor of the building, wearing a light formal suit.

Today we mainly finalize the C round of financing for Jiangyu Coffee, which is also the last round before the listing.

"Boss Lin, long time no see!"

As soon as Mr. Zhang got out of the car, he took the initiative to shake hands and greet Lin Lili, and the group quickly entered the office area of ​​Jiangyu Coffee.

Compared to the original office, the office area of ​​​​Jiang Yu Coffee has changed a lot this year.

The original office area is actually more appropriately called the flavor development room.

The actual office area is very small, with only about ten customer service staff, who mainly serve franchisees.

Now, the entire 19th floor is dedicated to coffee.

After-sales department, franchise department, purchasing department, transportation department, standardization department, etc. The company has grown from a provincial chain store to a national chain store.

The new flavor research lab is no longer here, it has been moved upstairs.

The office space on the 20th floor was left by Jiang Hao for Jiang Yu Coffee.

"Boss Lin, you have made great progress this year!"

"I often see new Jiang Yu Coffee stores in the capital nowadays, and business is pretty good!"

While touring the office area, Mr. Zhang was already amazed.

The number of Jiangyu Coffee stores currently exceeds 1400. In just over a year, the number of stores has been directly increased by more than 1300.

In fact, the first half of the year was mainly spent on issues such as purchasing coffee beans, logistics supply chain, etc.

The real expansion took place in the second half of the year, relying on a strong supply chain system and standardized coffee production to expand to its current level.

After touring the company, they sat back down in the conference room.

"Mr. Zhang, Jiangyu Coffee has currently developed 47 types of beverages and 31 types of pastries, covering all seasons."

"There are currently 22 types of cakes available nationwide, including 17 types of pastries."

When a coffee shop becomes bigger, the most difficult thing is to ensure the quality of the products.

Unlike individual hand-ground coffee shops, their products are good and bad. They may taste amazing today, but may seem average the next day.

Nowadays, large coffee chains such as Jiangyu Coffee may only score 80-85 points in terms of taste, but the quality is definitely guaranteed to be stable.

The taste, aroma, etc. are all consistent.

This is also the core point that makes the coffee chain successful.

The 22 types of coffee currently served by Jiangyu Coffee all have high sales and a fixed audience.

It can be said that the product category is extremely rich, and it is also one of the core competitive advantages of Jiangyu Coffee!

"There are currently more than 1800 Starbucks stores."

"At our current expansion rate, we will have more than 2000 coffee shops by the end of the year, completely surpassing Starbucks in terms of store numbers."

As Lin Lili spoke, Mr. Zhang nodded.

He has already seen some basic data and is very supportive of the development path of Jiangyu Coffee.

Especially opening stores near Starbucks stores, and also targeting opening stores under office buildings.

Attract current white-collar workers and college students as customers with high cost-effectiveness!

"Currently, Jiangyu Coffee's monthly turnover is over 7000 million, and its net profit is around 2000 million."

"Since the number of stores is still expanding rapidly, the actual company's earnings are still at a loss stage."

At that time, Lin Lili completely fulfilled the 2000 million euro bet agreement.

She has almost spent all the money by now, but fortunately she listened to Jiang Hao's advice and the entire chain store is very successful.

"Boss Zhang, are you satisfied with the development of 20 million Mi Yuan?"

“Satisfied! Who wouldn’t be satisfied with how well Jiangyu Coffee has developed to this point?”

"Well, I won't waste time. Let's talk about financing first."

Mr. Zhang came here this time for Yu Coffee. Of course, it was not just for financing, but more importantly to make arrangements for the subsequent listing work in advance.

"There's no need for independence this time. 15 million dollars for % of the shares."

This valuation almost pushed Jiangyu Coffee to 20 billion RMB.

Compared with the current potential of Jiangyu Coffee, this offer actually just exceeds Jiang Hao's bottom price.

But he had talked to Mr. Zhang and knew that what they were considering now was not this round of financing.

The first step is to start the listing process as soon as possible.

In this area, Jiang Hao's resources are not as good as Mr. Zhang of Hillhouse.

The listing of a physical chain business like this one may be more complicated than the previous Totoro.

Especially food safety, various supply of raw materials, and accounting can be more complicated than that of ordinary companies.

"Okay! I agree to the financing, but I hope you can take the listing seriously and get involved, Mr. Zhang."

"That's definitely no problem. After this round of financing, I will ask Gao Yan to come over and take over the listing of Juyu Coffee in the short term."

"The main question now is, which market to list on, Mr. Jiang? Have you considered it?"
