Among the people present, Lu Guangyu was the most familiar with Peng Zhijian.

Lu Guangyu had a successful career at Ali, and Peng Zhijian had also heard about Lu Guangyu's series of bad luck.

"Mr. Chen is now my subordinate. He is really a fierce general!"

Peng Zhijian felt a little emotional that in addition to Lu Guangyu, the resumes of Zeng Yiming and He Qian were also uncovered by their capital circles.

He was an unknown character before, but now he has become a prestigious professional manager.

Or to put it another way, there are many horses in the world, but there are too few Bole who can discover them.

Peng Zhijian drank too much in the end. Even though he had a good drinking capacity, he couldn't stand up to a few big men to drink him.

But the next day, after Peng Zhijian sobered up, he immediately led people to perform due diligence on Little Blue Book.

From CEO Zeng Yiming, COO Qu Ting, CTO Zhang Ye...

Even the employees in the human resources department were talked to by Peng Zhijian one by one.

Understand the corporate culture of Xiaolanshu and the development model of Xiaolanshu.

Even He Qian, who has now resigned as CEO of Blue Whale Online Shopping, was paid a special visit by Peng Zhijian.

Understand the specific matters negotiated between the two companies, including diversion fees and service fee charging standards...

Zeng Yiming finally understood what professionalism is.

Compared with Peng Zhijian, although the previous venture capital firms also paid enough attention to due diligence, they were definitely not as meticulous as Zeng Yiming.

It can be said that Peng Zhijian tried his best to reduce the possibility of the bullet missing the target.

If it weren't for Chen Dongcheng, an old acquaintance, Peng Zhijian would not have planned to take action on companies that had not reached the B round.

The risk is too great and does not conform to the investment principles he established this capital.

But there must be an exception to everything, such as Little Blue Book.

The company that was supposed to advance to the B round tomorrow morning has been dragged down by Chen Dongcheng and has not yet conducted the A round of financing.

Peng Zhijian's jaw almost dropped due to this investigation.

Since its inception, Chen Dongcheng has invested 130 million in Xiaolanshu by himself.

This is something very incredible in Peng Zhijian's eyes.

The development of any company depends on the money provided by the founder.

But Xiaolanshu did just that. Peng Zhijian couldn't help but sigh, "You can be willful if you have money!"

Little Blue Book's assets are very healthy and its accounts are fully funded.

Zeng Yiming said with a proud face: "Mr. Peng, we still have 10 million US dollars in our account.

If we didn’t urgently need funds for our next development, we would not have planned to raise funds so early.”

The corners of Peng Zhijian's mouth twitched slightly, but he still lived for a long time.

A start-up company has not received any financing and still has 10 million US dollars on its account.

The due diligence on Little Blue Book was finally completed, and Zeng Yiming saw Peng Zhijian’s courageous side.

Fifty million US dollars was immediately credited to his account, making Zeng Yiming feel extremely at ease.

Several other capitals, seeing how quickly Yuansheng Capital led the investment, began to receive funds one after another.

There is an extra US$100 million in the accounts of Xiaolanshu’s offshore company.

The news that the valuation exceeded one billion US dollars was released by Zeng Yiming after the funds were received.

The birth of another unicorn company has triggered heated discussions in the capital circle.

"I didn't expect that the first project Lao Peng invested in after leaving Tengxun would be so big."

"You know Lao Peng's connections well. The first phase of fund raising went smoothly beyond our imagination."

"Little Blue Book's A-round valuation is valued at one billion US dollars. Isn't it too risky?"

"Haha, you haven't asked before, right? I offered a valuation of US$500 million before, but I didn't even see the door of Little Blue Book."

"Anyway, it depends on whether Xiaolanshu can build a social ecosystem in the next step, but their executives are quite smart and know how to break up the e-commerce business in advance."

"The reason for not splitting it up is to tell a story for capital and prove its profitability, but to be honest, if it doesn't split up, I feel that the valuation of 2 to 3 billion will be sky-high."

"Yeah, so let's just watch from the sidelines and see if any big-name VCs will enter the field in the next round."

As they said, there are really no particularly big names in the list of investors in the A round.

Zeng Yiming doesn't need any resources for the time being. What he lacks most is funds.

Internet companies burn money at a rate that is beyond ordinary people’s imagination.

The money that others cannot earn in several lifetimes is not enough for Didi to burn in one day.

Chen Dongcheng took out 10% of the shares in this round for financing.

In addition, 10% of the shares will be used as an option pool to reward old employees and some technical experts to join.

Chen Dongcheng still maintains absolute control of Xiaolanshu, which is the advantage of financing later.

But it is so difficult to achieve this step!

Even Chen Dongcheng threw in 120 million to get it done.

Anyone else would have honestly accepted capital investment and gradually lost control of the company.

…

The weather in the Magic City in December was wet and cold, but it could not stop the enthusiasm of a group of disco contestants.

The nightclub that Chen Dongcheng and the others invested 100 million in finally opened!

Especially in many second-generation circles, it has long been said that they have noses and eyes.

The most expensive nightclub in Shanghai, with a size of 6,000 square meters.

Total investment is 100 million!

Before, they had no choice. Even though the decoration of myst was poor and the equipment was old.

At least the place was big enough and there were enough beauties, so even if they spent a little too much, they would tolerate it.

But now a new nightclub with more investment than Myst and a larger venue has appeared, and all the nightclub regulars have been aroused.

The opening time is also very interesting, Wei Ziliang and the others decided to open on Christmas Eve.

In order to make the atmosphere as exciting as possible, Wei Ziliang and others cooperated with Budweiser to hold a Christmas Eve Budweiser Carnival.

Invite three top 100 DJs and take turns bombing.

As we all know, as long as a nightclub invites top 100 DJs, prices will often increase.

The same goes for holidays like Christmas and Christmas Eve.

Not to mention that during the festival and top 100 DJs, Mr. Thirteen’s reservation phone number was almost flooded with calls.

Many people are asking about the price. The first floor deck is 40,000 yuan and the second floor is 20,000 yuan.

The price is definitely expensive, but it can’t stand up to the freshness of Mr. Thirteen.

This is the first time I have seen such a big place in Shanghai. It is said that the decoration is also extremely luxurious.

This price is so sincere compared to myst. The price of myst next door is almost the same as here.

However, the equipment is poor, the decoration is old, and even the venue area is surpassed by Mr. Thirteen.

As long as the brain is not watty, everyone will choose the newly opened Mr. Thirteen.

In the underground parking lot of Xintiandi, luxury cars gathered, and supercars from all major brands appeared.

If some car fans come over, they will definitely be excited to take pictures with their mobile phones for several hours.

Many girls almost got wet when they saw so many luxury cars.

They dress up carefully and deliberately not just to find a satisfactory boyfriend and live the life of a rich wife.

Wei Ziliang and the others mobilized their connections and invited a group of second-generation people to come and support them.

The opening flower baskets received have been placed hundreds of meters away.

It can be seen from far away and is very impressive.

Standing at the door was a row of blond foreign models with hot and sexy figures.

Wei Ziliang saw Chen Dongcheng and came over with a smile: "Master Chen, how are you?"

"fine."

Chen Dongcheng was indeed very satisfied and asked: "Where are Jiaci and Fatty?"

"The two of them are accompanying guests in various booths and private rooms. They are all friends in the circle. They always have to say hello when they come to support us."

Wei Ziliang and Chen Dongcheng talked while walking.

Along the way, I saw many burly security guards wearing black suits patrolling back and forth in the nightclub.

"Our security guards are among the best in the nightclub industry, and their wages are not cheap."
