"We can't afford it?"

Peng Zhijian looked a little angry and said with a bit of pride: "Mr. Chen has underestimated our Yuansheng Capital.

Among other things, I invested in Xiaolanshu, Cao Cao Suda, and Cao Cao Takeout.

These are all well-known good projects, and their valuations are rising.

We have secured multiple star projects one after another, and the feedback from our first-phase fund investors has been very good.

They are very optimistic about my investment vision and will be more active in subscribing when the second phase of the fund is raised."

Peng Zhijian paused and said, "Maybe Mr. Chen doesn't know much about your evaluation in the industry.

You are recognized in the industry as a master of turning stone into gold. Whenever you invest in a company, we will just follow it with our eyes closed and we will be done.

The personal relationship between the two of us is also one of the reasons why many investors are willing to entrust their funds to our management."

Chen Dongcheng burst into laughter, Lao Peng's level of flattery was getting higher and higher.

But if it is a company with no potential, Chen Dongcheng would be too lazy to start it.

"Mr. Chen, Lao Peng, I support you enough, right?"

Peng Zhijian said with a smile: "You asked me to add money and convert it into Cao Cao Dianping's stocks, but I didn't even frown."

"Well, that's true."

Chen Dongcheng nodded with a smile and continued to watch Peng Zhijian's performance.

"So, if there are any good projects that need funds, Mr. Chen can just contact me directly. Our relationship is not closer than others?"

Lao Peng was relying on Chen Dongcheng and refused to let go of Mr. Chen's thigh.

"We have known each other for several years. From the time we got to know each other during Keep, to Little Blue Book, and then to Cao Cao's review, if I have a good project that needs funds, I will never forget you."

Chen Dongcheng pondered for a while and said: "Douyin may raise external financing in the future."

Peng Zhijian's eyes lit up: "As long as you have investment, you can't invest more. If we invest 500 million US dollars, we should be able to become a small shareholder, right?"

"If it's a small shareholder, it should be fine."

Peng Zhijian then threw his trump card: "In addition, my voting rights can be entrusted to Mr. Chen. I only want income and dividends."

"If the transaction is completed, if there is financing, Yuansheng Capital will be the first to enter."

Chen Dongcheng stretched out his hand towards Peng Zhijian with satisfaction.

The development of an Internet company can never rely solely on individuals working alone.

Compared with those fund institutions that manage hundreds of billions of dollars, Chen Dongcheng's little money is nothing.

Peng Zhijian also shook hands with Chen Dongcheng with a smile on his face. Obtaining this promise from Chen Dongcheng was more precious than anything else.

Compared with those well-known investment institutions, Yuansheng Capital's reputation is average and its financial strength is average.

Only the relationship between him, the founder, and Chen Dongcheng could get them an investor spot.

In the investment circle, good projects never lack investors.

Those junk projects, no matter how good the conditions are, no one will pay attention to them.

Capital's pursuit of profit will lead to the strange phenomenon that they start to spend money together as soon as the trend is formed.

The wind outlet is gone and chicken feathers are everywhere.

This is true for the group buying, bike sharing, live streaming and other industries that have been ruined by them.

However, start-up companies cannot do without their funds, and everyone has their own needs.

After finding a restaurant, Peng Zhijian invited Lei Jun, and Lei Jun invited Sun Weiran.

Four people formed a game and sat together to eat and chat.

Sun Weiran's face looked a little unnatural. At first, he didn't intend to come.

Some time ago, he became completely famous.

After Bekara's Hella Credit was exposed, Sun Weiran had to pinch his nose and negotiate with his superiors to give up his qualifications for personal credit reporting business.

At that time, there was news that Sun Weiran was forced to give up his spot by Cao Cao Group, which triggered heated discussions among people in the industry.

Within a few days, the quota was awarded to Cao Cao Finance.

Cao Cao Financial immediately launched the Cao Cao Credit System, and was even accused of having premeditated it.

Because the timing was too coincidental, Hella Credit gave up its spot in the front, and Cao Cao Finance took the back seat.

It seems that the two companies had discussed it in advance and did not give others a chance to operate.

Here, the upper echelons of the Magic City exerted some effort.

There are rumors that Cao Cao Finance’s valuation exceeds 10 billion U.S. dollars. For the big guys in Shanghai, they will naturally devote more resources to it.

Besides, this matter was originally due to Hella Credit’s failure to live up to its expectations and broke the news of violations.

No wonder others just say that Cao Cao's financial methods are a bit dark.

However, in shopping malls, no matter how dirty the tactics are, some people have used them.

Others will only praise Cao Cao for his financial skills, but as for Bekara?

Who cares about a loser?

No one cares.

Sun Weiran was trying to please Mr. Chen by pouring him wine. He was really scared.

If Douyin fucks him like this a few more times, he won't have to mess around anymore.

At the wine table, Chen Dongcheng received the screenshot of the data sent by Hong Jun and said with a smile: "The latest data of Douyin is 265 million daily active users!"

"Hiss! 265 million daily active users?"

Sun Weiran was so shocked that his scalp went numb, and all the little thoughts in his heart suddenly stopped.

I really can't afford to offend him.

Originally, Douyin’s ability to create popularity was strong enough.

Now that daily active users have reached this level, isn’t it possible to create hot searches casually?

"It's a bit artificially high. It's just because of the heat and the moisture is relatively high."

Chen Dongcheng smiled lightly and waved his hands, full of force.

The smile on Lei Jun's face remained unchanged and his mind was active.

Xiaomi is about to be launched, and any opportunity for exposure is indispensable.

Lei Jun, who can be called a master of Internet marketing, has been reluctant to take advantage of the 5 million Douyin ads promised by Mr. Chen.

Now is the time when Douyin is at its hottest, how can Lei Jun still hold back?

"Mr. Chen, regarding Xiaomi's previous entry into Pinduoduo, can the advertising resources you promised be fulfilled now?"

Peng Zhijian looked at Chen Dongcheng with a smile, wanting to see if Chen Dongcheng was willing to let go.

Now is the time when Douyin is at its peak, so Lei Jun made a good plan.

"Mr. Lei, my previous promise is valid at any time. If Xiaomi wants to use advertising resources now, just contact Hong Jun at any time. I told him before that he will fully cooperate with Xiaomi."

Lei Jun was stunned for a moment. He thought Chen Dongcheng would take the opportunity to increase the price, and he was ready to be stabbed.

"Mr. Chen, you are the most stylish person I have ever seen in your age group!"

Lao Lei sighed sincerely and gritted his teeth and said: "In this way, I, Lei Jun, am not someone who takes advantage. I will add an additional 10 million budget."

It will be launched soon, but Lei Jun has been carrying it in his heart and dare not let it go.

There is no way, investment institutions are not interested in Xiaomi.

If Xiaomi wants to raise funds, it can only go public.

Peng Zhijian smiled and said: "Xiaomi's exposure this time must be unprecedented, and Mr. Lei has made a profit."

"Well, it's best this way. I hope this capital winter will pass quickly, otherwise everyone will have a hard time."

Lei Jun sighed, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Have a drink first, and congratulate Mr. Chen on the new home in advance."

Sun Weiran quickly agreed: "Mr. Chen is really generous. I heard that he agreed to smash Zhongrong Group."

Peng Zhijian smiled: "3.3 billion, a big deal."

The three of them complimented each other, which made Chen Dongcheng feel uncomfortable showing off and waved his hands modestly.

"We entered the capital too late, and we are in urgent need of ready-made office buildings. Otherwise, like Xiaomi, it would be most cost-effective to build our own campus."

When it comes to Xiaomi Park, Lei Jun is inevitably a little proud.

"House prices in Beijing are changing day by day. Now it seems that our decision to build the headquarters was very correct."

You must know that the cost for Internet companies to acquire land is very low, so low that other real estate companies can only envy them.

Otherwise, how could JD.com keep acquiring land.
