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

"Mr. Jiang, do you have any specific requests or anything else to add?"

Su Hande explained the details of the listing work in just over 20 minutes.

The efficiency is very high. Jiang Hao shook his head with satisfaction.

"I have nothing to add. Your work at Goldman Sachs is already very comprehensive."

"Boss Jiang, you should still be in Hong Kong on the day of the listing, right?"

...

"That's natural, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen to come to Hong Kong for my honeymoon."

The date for the launch of Jiangyu Coffee was determined very early, May 5th.

The time was also quite early, and Jiang Hao came to Hong Kong City with his senior sister for this reason.

There is only one week left before the listing.

At this point in the conversation, Jiang Hao had already picked up some pastries on the table and started eating.

The half-cooked cheese, daifuku, chocolate cake, etc. provided by Jiangyu Coffee itself, although they cannot be compared with those in specialized pastry shops, the standard is not low.

He stuffed the chocolate daifuku in his hand into his mouth in small bites.

It was not until this moment that Jiang Hao remembered that he had not had lunch.

No wonder I was eyeing these foods while we were chatting just now.

I thought that after the discussion, the people in front of me, especially the two from Goldman Sachs, would say goodbye and leave.

Who knew that at this moment he was chatting with Mr. Zhang in a high collar, and looked at him from time to time.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao quickly took a few more bites of chocolate cake before putting down his fork.

His eyes glanced at Mr. Zhang standing beside him.

The two are old friends, and they can talk clearly about anything.

"Boss Jiang, how is Haijing's development recently?"

Hearing Mr. Zhang mention the sea whale, Jiang Hao quickly reacted.

It seems that the two senior executives of Goldman Sachs are not leaving because they have set their sights on the business of Haijing Technology!

"Sea whale?"

“It’s developing very quickly, but there’s a lot going on.”

...

"Is it about Whale being sanctioned? Sigh! There is really no place to seek justice for this matter."

As for Whale, Mr. Zhang was also helpless.

The situation here is too complicated. It's not just normal business logic. He can't get involved and can only wait for the results silently.

“However, thanks to the sanctions, the growth of Haijing and Whale users has made a big step forward compared to before.”

"The number of users on the entire Haijing platform now ranks ninth in the world, and if we compare the number of daily active users, it ranks sixth in the world."

The previous wave of sanctions from the United States was both a challenge and an opportunity for Haijing.

In the short video field, Haijing has long been the undisputed number one in the global market.

But in the competition among global social media entertainment platforms, Haijing is still at a disadvantage.

After the sanctions, there is no doubt that the user growth has been substantial. Now the total user data of Haijing and Whale has officially ranked among the top ten in the world.

Even WeChat is only ranked fifth or sixth ahead of Haijing.

As for the number of daily active users, except for the period when the sanctions announcement was the most popular, Whale's daily active users grew rapidly, and in a short period of time, it reached the third place.

Now that all traffic and users have stabilized.

Facebook is still in a cliff-like lead for the time being, with a global market share of around 35%.

The remaining YouTubers, Instagram accounts, etc. still occupy the top three. The daily active users of the two platforms of Haijing during this period are comparable to those of WeChat.

You should know that even before, the daily active users of the two platforms combined could only maintain around tenth place in the world.

Things are completely different now, especially with this rapid growth trend, there is still an opportunity to move forward.

Especially since Haijing is not on the market yet!

"So when do you plan to start the D round?"

"To be honest, Mr. Su and his Goldman Sachs Group have some ideas about your Series D financing for Haijing."

It seems that Mr. Zhang has a very good relationship with Mr. Su!

When he was in Songjiang City, he recommended "Jiangyu Coffee" for listing and was confident that it could be successfully listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

I think the person who has the ability to run everything is this Mr. Su.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao looked at Mr. Su again, and couldn't help but look up to him a little more.

The head of Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific is a prominent figure for most startups and even medium-sized and large companies.

But for Jiang Hao, it’s just that, especially since he still prefers Goldman Sachs as a platform.

Now it seems that Mr. Su still has many abilities that have not been fully demonstrated!

"Mr. Jiang, although the Haijing platform is now caught up in some unfair sanctions, we at Goldman Sachs are very optimistic about the future development of your company!"

"I personally agree with your view on the current model of mass entertainment in the world. I think the fast-paced short video combined with live broadcast is the best form of entertainment for the next ten years!"

"I firmly believe that with the current development trend of Haijing, if there is a fair competition, it has the potential to surpass Facebook."

“So I also hope to communicate with Mr. Jiang on behalf of Goldman Sachs, and hope that Goldman Sachs can lead the investment in Haijing’s Series D round.”

Good guy!

Jiang Hao almost couldn't hold back when he heard the words "surpassing Facebook".

He picked up the coffee on the table and took a gulp, then listened to Mr. Su finish his words.

To be honest, although he also had this fantasy in his heart, the first person to mention this possibility in front of him was Mr. Su.

Facebook's current market value on the stock market exceeds 7000 billion US dollars.

In his opinion, it will exceed one trillion US dollars in the future, which is definitely the ceiling of global social applications.

If Haijing is able to surpass FaceBook in the future, even its current valuation of 500 billion US dollars after the C round is still at an absolute low for Haijing.

After all, once the company is able to surpass Facebook, its value will continue to grow exponentially!

If Goldman Sachs really views Haijing in this way, he would have to think carefully about what Mr. Su said about leading the D round of investment.

Having an institution that is optimistic about itself, especially the expectations for Haijing, is naturally of great help to Haijing.

Especially for the final listing, as the financing party of Haijing's last round D round, Goldman Sachs must undertake a lot of work.

Because of Goldman Sachs' extremely high expectations, it will also pay more attention than other capital parties.

"Mr. Su, since you are so optimistic about Haijing, why didn't Goldman Sachs think of investing in Haijing during its C round last year?"

As soon as Jiang Hao said this, Mr. Su on the opposite side smiled bitterly.

Instead, Mr. Zhang standing by burst out laughing.

"Boss Jiang, Goldman Sachs is here, and their representative is our Boss Su!"

"Mr. Su was talking to Vice President Zhang of the company at the time, and you were talking to the two Mr. Ma about financing. After the discussion, the matter was almost finalized."

"Except for the original B round of investment capital and BlackRock's foreign investment management, all others were rejected."

"Of course, Mr. Su's authority was not that high at the time, so he did not have much advantage in valuation."
