Chapter 1379 Qixuan’s D Round of Capital Feast
After settling the consumption of the city copy in the United States, Shi Lei did not even go to the nearby Silicon Valley and Stanford University for a stroll, and flew directly back to China from the United States.
Jackman will definitely instigate the American and European consortiums at all costs to find the whereabouts of the ferryman. They also hope to get back the more than 100 billion US dollars that originally belonged to them from the ferryman.
But Shi Lei knows very well that the ferryman has no money at all now. It is possible that he has increased his debts for the funds in the accounts of the batch of companies in Tayastan this time.
For the ferryman, debts are not worth mentioning. Anyway, if he cannot be found, everything is equivalent to giving it away for nothing. However, this means that in addition to the two European and American consortiums, there may be third-party forces looking for his whereabouts.
The current ferryman has long been a rat crossing the street and everyone is shouting and beating him.
In order to prevent the ferryman from jumping off the wall, Shi Lei must return to China. He must beware of the ferryman attacking his parents.
Of course, there is also Wei Xingyue.
As for the British side, Shi Lei believed that no matter how much the ferryman believed in the principle of darkness under the lamp, he would never dare to easily run to the base camp of the Dark Night Eye to seek death. He absolutely did not have the capital to hire a professional killer now. Even if he wanted to retaliate against Shi Lei, he could only do it himself.
In any case, you have to be on guard against a desperate dog.
Fortunately, at this moment, the stock price of Flash has stabilized. With the support of Penguin, Wei Xingyue has announced that it will privatize Flash and is working on the repurchase of equity, which is nearing the end.
As for Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan, after more than half a year of busy work, the after-sales departments in various places have basically been set up. The two elders can return to Xicheng properly. They only need to keep an eye on it a little bit, and they don’t need to be frequent flyers all day.
This gives Shi Lei the most convenient opportunity to protect them.
After all, Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan always have a master named Fan Dongliu by their side. Shi Lei believes that with Fan Dongliu's strength, he may still need to worry about dealing with well-trained mercenaries and assassins, but he will definitely be able to deal with ferrymen who have to go into battle in person.
After confirming all this, Shi Lei stayed in the imperial capital with peace of mind, accompanying Wei Xingyue to complete the final flash privatization process.
In this short period of time, Qixuan also announced that it would conduct the last round of financing before listing.
For a time, the world was in turmoil, and almost all investors aimed at this area, wanting to get a foothold in Qixuan's last round of financing. This was their last chance to invest in Qixuan.
At this moment, Qixuan's valuation has already broken through the 40 billion mark and is approaching 50 billion.
With the competition of quotations from all sides, Qixuan's valuation was soon pushed to more than 50 billion.
As the flash completed its privatization, the financial backer behind it surfaced. When everyone found out that it was the giant Penguin in the domestic IT industry, the valuation rose by 20% in just a few days, directly breaking through the 60 billion mark.
However, the final D round of financing of Qixuan was settled, which surprised everyone.
None of the companies participating in the competition were selected, and even Penguin failed to get any shares in the D round.
The one who got the 10% of the shares in the D round of financing was Yao Er.
There are many rumors about this, but it doesn’t matter. What’s important is that Yao Er gave the highest valuation, and Qixuan’s valuation was pushed to 65 billion.
Yao Er got 10% of Qixuan’s shares, without leading or following the investment, only him.
For this reason, he took out 6.5 billion to invest in Qixuan.
Although this made some shareholders of Qixuan feel a little dissatisfied, after all, they all speculated that Yao Er’s investment was simply Shi Lei’s operation behind the scenes. In fact, this part of the shares fell into Shi Lei’s hands.
However, at least there were no problems on the books, and several major shareholders had no objections, which made the small shareholders feel helpless.
After the D round of financing, since previous investors were not allowed to follow up in this round, Shi Lei's shares had been reduced to 28.3%, and the same was true for Dong Chiqing's shares.
However, the company's third largest shareholder quietly became Yao Er, who owned 10% of the shares.
Anyone with a discerning eye understood that this meant Shi Lei's complete control over Qixuan. If Dong Chiqing could put pressure on him before, now Shi Lei actually controlled 38.3% of the shares. Adding the shares of Yu Banzhi, Wei Qing and Shi Qiang, he can be said to have enough control. Everyone understands that these three people will never go against Shi Lei.
Just three days later, Qixuan announced a high-profile acquisition of Flash after completing the privatization process.
The acquisition price was as high as 17 billion.
Of course, it was not a complete cash acquisition, but a partial share exchange.
Qixuan took out 18% of the shares with a valuation of 65 billion, and the value of the shares increased by 10%, with a price of 13 billion, plus 4 billion in cash, to complete the full acquisition of Flash.
Of the 18% of Qixuan shares, Shi Lei personally took out 6%, Dong Chiqing personally took out 7%, and the remaining 5% was borne by Qixuan as a whole.
In the end, Shi Lei retained 22.2% of Qixuan's shares, and Dong Chiqing had one point less than Shi Lei.
Penguin thus finally got all the 18% of the shares.
Qixuan's equity structure has changed again, and Penguin has become the third largest shareholder of Qixuan.
Penguin sent a senior vice president to serve as the president of Qixuan, and Shi Qiang is still the CEO, while Shi Lei is just a chairman of the board and no longer participates in the actual operation of Qixuan.
The investment circle understands that Qixuan's feast has basically completed its final mission. In the future, Qixuan will be the stage of Penguin.
This is understandable. After all, Ali also announced the integration of the remaining companies in the shared bicycle market. Although it stated that it would not change the names and operating models of several subsidiaries, the shared bicycle market, like the online car-hailing market, will eventually be divided by Penguin and Ali.
What Qixuan's shareholders have to wait for is Qixuan's IPO in half a year. At that time, although most shareholders will not change much, Shi Lei's influence on Qixuan and his shares will inevitably decline further.
By then, Penguin will definitely become the largest shareholder of Qixuan.
Everyone knows that behind this capital feast, there must be a private agreement that Shi Lei and Penguin have already reached. Even the general content of the agreement is well known to every investor.
After all this slowly came to an end, Shi Lei appeared in the Magic City with Wei Xingyue.
His yacht worth 30 million euros was launched for the first time.
Of course, it was not really the first time to launch it. After all, there had to be a test before launching it. All of this was watched by Wei Qing and Duan Gongzi.
But as Shi Lei's private property was launched, this was indeed the first time.
For this reason, Shi Lei certainly had reason to have a good carnival, which meant that he was one step closer to the life of the top domestic rich.
Now Shi Lei can be said to have completely stepped into the circle of the top domestic rich, although, in the cognition of most people, Shi Lei's current net worth is still difficult to exceed 30 billion RMB. This time, he cashed out only a few billion in the overall D round of financing and subsequent links of Qixuan.
But these people don't know that in addition, he also has 10 billion US dollars in cash.
