Chapter 634 When Will the News Be Broadcast?

Of course Fu Jianhui knew why Shi Lei said such words before leaving. He understood that he had ruined this game tonight.

An investment project is not a serious loss for a company that is mainly engaged in various investments. However, this project was hand-picked by the big boss. In addition to the profit after investment, the industrial layout of green travel is also loved. It is important in the workplace, not to mention that it is the boss's instruction.

According to Aitou Factory’s vision, they hope to first take the lead in Chongbai’s Series A round at a lower price, and then follow up on Qixuan’s Series A round. On Aitou Factory’s recent schedule, there are two an almost equally important step.

In fact, in terms of internal evaluation, the follow-up investment in Qixuan is more important than winning the lead investment right of Chongbai.

The start-up time of the two companies is almost the same, and the angel round funding is also very similar. The only difference is that Chongbai actually took an angel round, while Qixuan's angel round was invested by the founder himself. In a sense, the founder of Qixuan is obviously more optimistic about his own project, otherwise he would not have spent real money to start it.

In terms of company structure, Qixuan is much more complete than Chongbai, especially its CEO, who is the famous white-glove son Yao Jiaping in the industry. Although Yao Jiaping has not yet had any cases of managing the company, he alone The help he can get from his father and brother should not be underestimated, let alone Dong Chiqing, one of the two major shareholders of Qixuan, who has been very optimistic by investors in recent years.

Not to mention anything else, Dong Chiqing's family network alone is several steps ahead of Cao Chong.

Shi Lei seems to be just an ordinary entrepreneur, but his first partner and the rumored lead investor in his Series A show that he is by no means as simple as he seems. Especially tonight, Fu Jianhui almost watched Shi Lei calmly slap Cao Chong in the face in an extremely calm way. This was far more exciting than the slap that he was going to do with his voice hoarse and held up high. The more it seemed to be an understatement, the more serious the slap was. The louder it gets.

But Fu Jianhui didn't expect that Shi Lei would slap him in the face when he left, and the two venture capital companies he had hired to cooperate with him chose to leave with Shi Lei without hesitation.

Because of all this, it is logical that Qixuan’s right to follow the investment is even greater than Chongbai’s right to lead the investment.

Of course, Qixuan is not without its disadvantages. Qixuan's disadvantage is that they started slightly later than Chongbai, and they chose campus cycling as the entry point, which undoubtedly made their urban cycling layout even more backward.

Moreover, Qixuan's headquarters is in Wudong. Although Wudong is also one of the leading second-tier cities, it is at an obvious disadvantage compared with first-tier cities like the Imperial Capital, especially the capital of China.

However, Chongbai's march into the Demon City was blocked, and Qi Xuan entered the Imperial City market with a high profile. This was obviously a posture of squeezing Chongbai to the point of no where to go from the very beginning.

The investment manager of Aitou Factory held several meetings with the boss, analyzing and analyzing, and almost unanimously voted that the future development of Qixuan will be greater than that of Chongbai. Fu Jianhui was also entrusted with important tasks. The big boss said that he must take the Undertake Qixuan’s co-investment rights and strive to get a better investment share in the B round.

Fu Jianhui had a very good idea. He wanted to use Shi Lei to hit Cao Chong in the face, and at the same time give Shi Lei a good compliment. Even if Shi Lei saw that he had the idea of ​​using himself as a gun, he would do it for the sake of Fu Jianhui's interest in restarting the announcement. Don't care.

But Fu Jianhui didn't expect that something would go wrong from the beginning.

The sudden emergence of central leaders and CCTV news interviews fundamentally disrupted Fu Jianhui's rhythm. Cao Chong made such a high-profile decision that Chongbai's valuation should jump to a higher level. After Fu Jianhui confirmed the news, his psychological balance began to tilt towards Chongbai.

Fu Jianhui, of course, made a new and careful analysis. He believes that under the premise that Chongbai has received such high-profile publicity and the approval of the central government, the best way for Qixuan is to avoid its edge and return to the Magic City to deploy and develop, rather than staying in the capital. Rather than fight head-on in Imperial City, Qixuan's Imperial City branch has just begun its layout and has not yet started deployment. If Qi Xuan insists on going his own way and starts a decisive battle with Chong Bai from the beginning in the Imperial Capital Market, his chances of winning are already slim.

He originally wanted to have a good talk with Shi Lei, and it would be best to persuade him to give up the Imperial City market temporarily. In this way, he would still have confidence in Qixuan's future.

But Shi Lei didn't give him such a chance, and even wiped out the benefits that Cao Chong had talked about in a snap. This made Fu Jianhui keenly realize that the CCTV news was probably aimed at Shi Lei. And this is also the source of Shi Lei's confidence that Qi Xuan will fight Chong Bai in advance in the imperial capital.

In particular, Shi Lei actually said something ambiguous during the banquet. Fu Jianhui remembered clearly that at that time, Cao Chong said angrily that Chongbai was still ahead of Qixuan, because in the imperial capital, Chongbai had already completed the preliminary deployment, and Qixuan had just just started. But Shi Lei said meaningfully - "Let's wait until the news comes out the day after tomorrow before saying this."

Cao Chong believed that the news would be broadcast tomorrow, but Shi Lei had already slapped Cao Chong in the face with the facts. Chong Bai's interview had been withdrawn, and Shi Lei casually said that the news would not come out until the day after tomorrow.

Such information should not be underestimated. Cao Chong's repeated emphasis actually showed that he was not completely sure, and he was actually encouraging himself. Shi Lei's understatement shows that Shi Lei has the wisdom. Moreover, this sentence contains a lot of information. It seems to mean that the interview with Chong Bai has been withdrawn, but Qixuan will still be promoted in the news.

If this is the case, then Fu Jianhui really did something tonight that would make the big boss of Aitou Factory slam the table.

Fu Jianhui's mood was very complicated. He knew very well that if Shi Lei could say in front of so many people that he would never accept any investment from Aitou Factory, he would probably do so. Especially under the premise that it is rumored that Yu Banzhi, an investment madman, is standing behind him.

If everything develops according to Cao Chong's boast, losing Qixuan's right to follow-up investment will actually be nothing. Winning Chongbai's right to lead investment is the most important thing.

However, the situation obviously did not develop like this, and Chongbai was back to the original point in an instant.

When Cao Chong saw that Fu Jianhui was just smoking his cigar in silence, he felt a little uneasy at the moment, so he tentatively said: "Mr. Jianhui, let's talk about the A round that we are going to worship..."

Fu Jianhui raised his head, put out the cigar in his hand in the ashtray, his eyes flickered for a while, and finally he firmly raised a finger: "With a valuation of 250 million, I want to lead the investment."

Cao Chong immediately became anxious. He said, "Mr. Jianhui, is this quotation inappropriate? Your quotation was the same yesterday, but our project has now received the attention of the leaders above. Even if our interview with Chong Bai is withdrawn , but the news will still be broadcast as scheduled. This is a great benefit to the entire industry, and when we raised the angel round, the valuation had already reached 200 million."

"Then let's see if the news will be broadcast tomorrow!" Fu Jianhui's eyes were sinister, his thoughts were complicated, and he felt unspeakable.

Cao Chong opened his mouth, but couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time. After hearing what Shi Lei said, he began to feel weak.

The next day, Cao Chong paid attention to CCTV's news program almost all day long. However, until the end of the evening news, he could not see any news about green urban bicycles.
