Chapter 1026: Flash Financing

Shi Lei thought about it carefully, it was really possible that boiled water could do this kind of thing.

He turned around helplessly, looked at the boiled water and said, "What do you want?"

"You stay with me and wait until tomorrow to fly the Jade Dragon."

Shi Lei scratched his head and said, "How about you ask your friend to prepare a car and we can drive there. It's 600 kilometers and it will only take five or six hours."

Boiled water nodded and said, "That's okay."

After making the decision, Shi Lei took the boarding pass and prepared to go through the refund procedures.

Boishui frowned and said, "As for that? It's not much money, so you still have to refund the check?"

Shi Lei said: "I have already received my boarding pass, which shows that I have arrived at the airport. If I don't board the plane, the airport may think something happened, and Bao Qi will have to wait a little longer because of my ticket. Since it is It’s easy, why bother the airport?”

Bai Boishui rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, yes, you're right. You can refund the ticket yourself. I'll call someone to get the car."

Shi Lei nodded and said, "Don't get a sports car. Sitting in a sports car for five or six hours will make you exhausted. In fact, it's better to get a business car or a nanny car with a driver or something."

"You have so many demands!" Bai Boishui complained, but he also felt that what Shi Lei said was reasonable, so he called to make arrangements.

Shi Lei completed the refund procedures and Bai Boishui arranged the car. He said, "GMC, are you satisfied?"

"It's good. Get in the car and take a nap. We're almost there."

The two waited at the airport for a short while, and Bai Boishui's phone rang. It was a girl. She said that the car had arrived at the airport and asked where Bai Boishui's person was.

Finding the girl on the phone, Bai Boishui introduced her: "This is my friend. I met her in the United States. You can call her Jessica. This is also my friend, Shi Lei."

Jessica is a dark-skinned and lively girl. She smiled and stretched out her hand. Shi Lei shook it. Jessica said, "You are not the founder of Qixuan Bicycle, are you?"

Shi Lei nodded and said, "It's me."

"Xiao Bai, you can do it. You actually know such a young talent. Why didn't you tell me earlier?" After hearing this, Jessica felt a little excited.

Bai Boishui frowned and said: "Are you so excited? I'm just a bicycle seller. Don't waste time. If you have anything to say, just get on the bus. It takes five or six hours to get to Yulong. You'll even have dinner if you're late. No more."

"Please, it's already four o'clock in the afternoon. It has to be past ten o'clock to get to Yulong. After arranging accommodation, we went straight to midnight snack. How can we have dinner?" Jessica complained dissatisfiedly, but still He took the two of them into the car.

In the car, Jessica introduced: "This is my dad's company car. Xiaobai said he wanted a nanny car, so I asked my dad to borrow it. How about it, isn't it good?"

Shi Lei nodded and said, "Thank you." After saying that, he put the seat back, lay on it, and closed his eyes.

Jessica looked at Shi Lei and whispered to Bai Boishui: "Xiao Bai, your friend doesn't seem to like talking."

Bai Boishui said: "Can you stop calling me Xiaobai? It sounds like barking a dog."

"I didn't mind when you called me Xiaohei! Don't interrupt, I'm asking you a question!"

Bai Boishui said helplessly: "Is he okay? Maybe he's a little tired. I don't know for sure. I'll arrive at Yulong soon and I'll get to know you better. I guess he'll start to talk a lot."

"By the way, how did you two meet? Let me tell you, I have been starting a business recently, and the investors I have contacted said that in the entire venture capital circle, your friend is absolutely unparalleled in the limelight. Originally, it was because many start-up companies have imitated the Qixuan model recently. It appeared that the investment bank's valuation of Qixuan had stabilized. Unexpectedly, Qixuan actually cooperated with the government and suddenly increased its original market share by ten points. Now, it is said that the investment bank is excited again. The valuation of Qixuan is much higher.”

Hearing this, Shi Lei opened his eyes and asked with a smile: "Did your friend tell you where the current valuation of Qixuan by investment banks is?"

Jessica rolled her eyes and said, "Aren't you too realistic? I borrow cars and people, and I plan to be a free tour guide for you when I get to Yulong, but you haven't even said three words to me. I heard that the company’s valuation has increased, are you interested?”

Shi Lei smiled and said: "Mainly because we just met, I don't know how to communicate with you. Besides, you and Mr. Bai probably haven't seen each other for a long time. I thought you guys should have a lot to say, so I’ll leave the space to you.”

"Don't get me wrong, I have nothing to do with him, I just treat him as a sister!"

"Fart, I obviously treat you as a buddy." Boishui immediately fired back.

Shi Lei smiled and said: "Come on, you don't need to explain your relationship to me. I understand. You are her best friend and she is your female brother. Let's talk about Qixuan's valuation. "

Jessica rolled her eyes again and said: "I didn't ask for more details, and the investors I contacted basically didn't expect to get the investment rights from your Qixuan. From their tone, the most underestimated The value is probably less than 12 billion, and now it should be more than 150. "

"One hundred and fifty?" Shi Lei pursed his lips slightly. This was slightly lower than he expected. In his mind, this time it was good. As Qixuan continued to expand the urban market, the valuation of Qixuan's C round should be at least If it can rise by 30 percentage points, around 160 would be a more ideal valuation.

"Are you still not satisfied with one hundred and fifty? Your company has only been around for a little more than a year, right? The initial investment was only 40 million. How many times has it doubled now?"

Shi Lei smiled and said, "Have I never cashed out yet? No matter how high the valuation is, it won't have much impact on me."

"By the way, you did the flash mob too?"

"To be precise, I'm just an investor."

Jessica curled her lips and said disdainfully: "Hey, don't do this, who doesn't know the relationship between Wei Xingyue and you?"

"Do you know Wei Xingyue?" Shi Lei asked curiously.

Jessica shook her head and said: "I don't know it, but it doesn't prevent me from knowing the name. Let me tell you something that won't make you proud. Now all investment banks in the country will release content related to your name. The strategy of the top three. I know that the Wei family used to be very good in Wudong, but now it has been wiped out. Even if Wei Xingyue is alone, not many people will pay attention to her. . Pop-up is indeed doing well, but compared to Qixuan, this is obviously not a long-term project. Not long ago, Wei Xingyue announced that Pop-up was preparing for Series B financing. Although the market response was good, the valuation was only three. One billion, far worse than Qixuan.”

Shi Lei was stunned for a moment, thinking in a flash flash announcement of Series B financing? Wei Xingyue actually didn't tell him about this.

But then I thought about it, I didn't have much contact with Wei Xingyue during this period, and Shi Lei didn't need to worry about the flash mob anymore, and Wei Xingyue probably didn't bother to bother him with these things.

"The B round is 3 billion, which is higher than Qixuan's B round."

"Don't be dismissive of me. They all talk about Series B, but is it the same? Qixuan has only raised two rounds of capital now and skipped the Angel round. But Flash started from the Angel round. There is an A+ in the middle. Even though it only gave up two points, this B round is basically the fourth round of financing for Flash. Investors will definitely force Flash to go public and cash out.”

Shi Lei was stunned again, Wei Xingyue actually made an A+ round? He didn't even tell himself.
