My Life Can Hang

Peng Zhijian looked surprised, obviously surprised that Chen Dongcheng was able to come up with this amount of money.

"I think this valuation is still very reasonable, and we at Fuji Xun also recognize this valuation internally."

In order to ensure the success of investing in Didi, Chen Dongcheng used the small Wealth Fortune Prosperity Experience Card to prevent the Huaxin Industrial Fund from getting involved.

Cheng Wei hesitated, this valuation is quite tempting.

But the Huaxin Industrial Fund may also be able to offer this valuation.

Under the same choice, Cheng Wei is more inclined to accept the money from Huaxin.

"In any case, I would like to thank President Chen for his recognition."

Cheng Wei sincerely thanks, at least with Chen Dongcheng as a spare tire, he will not fail to raise money.

"Come on, Mr. Chen, the food here is delicious. Every time I come to the capital, I will definitely try it once."

Peng Zhijian pointed to the dishes on the table and temporarily changed the topic.

Since Cheng Wei didn't agree, obviously he still had expectations for Huaxin.

From Peng Zhijian's standpoint, it doesn't matter who leads the investment.

Chen Dongcheng can only hope that this card does not let himself down, otherwise he will really lose a lot.

Chapter 163. 162, Didi Director

It can be said that a heavy snowfall in the capital in the past 12 years has fulfilled Didi, and also fulfilled Cheng Wei.

A heavy snow made the use of cars in the capital a problem.

The taxi software came into being, and Cheng Wei was one of the first people to eat crabs.

"Sometimes I also think that my life is really good. I almost died many times and was pulled back by someone."

Cheng Wei drank a few glasses of red wine, and the chat box was opened.

"I remember very clearly, it was the summer of 11, when I was still in Ahri and was sent by the company to Beijing on a business trip to meet clients.

As a result, there was an autumn rain, and I took a taxi at Jimen Bridge. I started to take a taxi at 04:30, and I didn't get a taxi until [-] o'clock.

It was hard to come across an empty car, and it was refused because of the shift. "

"Once again, relatives from my hometown came to Beijing, and we made an appointment to have dinner near Wangfujing at 7 pm.

Relatives called at 5:8 and said they were taking a taxi, but they called again at [-]:[-] and asked if I could pick them up.

Cheng Wei recalled: "At that time, I had the intention to start a business, and just these two experiences made me realize that the travel market needs a taxi software.

Later, I resigned and started a business together with my old leader, and we have DiDi today. "

"Mr. Cheng's keen sense of smell is admirable."

Chen Dongcheng raised his glass, and Cheng Wei and Chen Dongcheng clinked the glasses: "Don't dare, I also thought about it for nine months before I decided to leave Ali."

Peng Zhijian explained: "When Cheng Wei left Ali, he was already the deputy general manager of the business department and had a bright future."

Chen Dongcheng nodded in understanding, Cheng Wei is unwilling to be subordinated, ambitious and courageous.

"When I founded Didi, most of my friends were against it, saying it was not reliable.

Because at that time, most drivers didn't even have a smartphone, let alone install a taxi software. "

"But it was precisely because the market fundamentals at the time were immature that I had the opportunity.

Along the way, I went through a lot of stumbling and stumbling, and also met a lot of nobles.

Mr. Zhu from Jinshajiang, Mr. Zhang Bo from the company, Mr. Peng from Tengxun, and of course Mr. Chen you. "

Cheng Wei said sincerely: "As long as there is no news from Huaxin, I will accept your funds immediately."

After the meal, Chen Dongcheng was quite satisfied, at least he got acquainted with Cheng Wei first.

……

Early the next morning, Chen Dongcheng went to Didi headquarters.

Cheng Wei enthusiastically took Chen Dongcheng to visit the company, and then invited Chen Dongcheng to his office to make tea and chat.

"Mr. Cheng, is this President Chen?"

While chatting, the door was knocked, and a middle-aged man in a black tunic walked in.

Cheng Wei got up with a smile: "Mr. Chen, let me introduce to you, this is my old leader and the co-founder of Didi, Wang Gang."

Chen Dongcheng was very impressed with this name.

It can be said that Didi grows into the future giants, and the one who makes the most is Wang Gang.

At the beginning of the business, Cheng Wei invested 70 yuan, and 70 yuan can only buy a toilet in the capital.

Wang Gang, however, invested in a company like Didi, and the initial investment was rewarded with billions of dollars in return.

"Hello Mr. Chen, Cheng Wei kept talking to me when he came back yesterday, saying that he must let me come to see you. I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be so young. I thank Mr. Chen for your optimism on behalf of all Didi employees."

Wang Gang spoke in an unhurried tone, and Cheng Wei pulled Wang Gang to the sofa as usual.

"Mr. Chen, Huaxin Fund announced its withdrawal. Do you still insist on a valuation of one billion US dollars?"

As soon as Cheng Wei came up, he gave Chen Dongcheng a big surprise.

Chen Dongcheng was somewhat surprised by Huaxin's withdrawal.

"Weak thoughts come true, are they already so arrogant?"

Chen Dongcheng muttered in his heart, and said plainly: "My valuation of Didi remains unchanged, because I am optimistic about you, Mr. Cheng. Under your leadership, Didi will defeat Kuaidi and even Uber."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen."

Cheng Wei was also relieved, and finally finalized the C round of financing.

Didi's ammunition is enough all of a sudden, at least it can fight with Kuai for a while.

"Mr. Chen, my funds are in a hurry. Can I get the funds into my account as soon as possible?"

Cheng Wei is really short of money, and Kuai is now aggressive.

If Didi does not raise funds, the market control will have to be handed over.

"Sign the agreement today, and the account will arrive immediately."

Chen Dongcheng also acted resolutely and wanted to confirm the investment in Didi as soon as possible.

"readily!"

Cheng Wei shook hands with Chen Dongcheng excitedly: "Mr. Chen, I would like to invite you to join Didi's board of directors."

For Cheng Wei, being able to get [-] million US dollars in a week is already very content.

And Chen Dongcheng directly promised to make money on the day, which is definitely a huge surprise!

"On the board?"

Chen Dongcheng pondered for a while, and felt that it was not impossible.

Chen Dongcheng knows the development route of Didi. If he becomes a member of the board of directors, he can help Didi as much as possible to avoid detours and realize a rapid increase in valuation as soon as possible.

After being confirmed by Chen Dongcheng, Cheng Wei happily called all the current executives of several companies and solemnly introduced Chen Dongcheng.

"Mr. Chen joined the company and will be a member of the board of directors in the future. Everyone welcomes it."

Cheng Wei took the lead in applauding, and several other executives in the conference room were a little surprised.

It was the first time they had met such a young director.

Chen Dongcheng came up with a heavy hammer: "Everyone, Didi has reached the moment of life and death."

A group of executives looked at Chen Dongcheng inexplicably. I'm afraid this director has a problem with his brain, right?

"From what I understand, Uber has already planned to enter the country and start competing for the market."

Chen Dongcheng's face was calm, and what he said was the truth.

Uber has begun to consider entering the country, and anyone with a business sense can feel it.

The potential of the domestic market in the United States has been drained by Uber.

If Uber wants to continue to maintain a high valuation, it can only expand globally.

Cheng Wei looked serious: "President Chen is right, Uber does not give up on China.

They started trial operation in Modu last August, and I think everyone should know what this means. "

All the executives looked awe-inspiring, which means that the magic capital is the bridgehead for Uber to enter the country.

Once Uber really entered the country, no one dared to think about that situation.

There is a 99.9999% chance that Didi will be defeated by Uber.

The valuations of the two are not the same, and Didi has only just reached one billion US dollars.

Uber has become a leading company in the United States, with a valuation of up to 35 billion US dollars.

And that's not the scariest, Uber is getting the news right now.

Is seeking a new round of financing, seeking a valuation of 170 billion US dollars.

Equivalent to 17 drops.

Once such a huge opponent enters the country, everyone shudders to think about it.

"It will take time for Uber to enter the country, and at least until June, Uber won't make a big move."

Everyone's eyes turned to Chen Dongcheng, both puzzled and fortunate.

"A valuation of $170 billion is not so easy to get, and it will take at least three months to hire the top investment bank."

Everyone's expressions were soothing, and they breathed in unison.

"In the past six months, what we should do is to destroy Kuaidi as soon as possible, make sufficient capital reserves, and fight against Uber."

Cheng Wei smiled bitterly: "Chen Dong, we are not good at financing, and this financing is also helped by Mr. Peng from Tengxun."
