Chapter 870 Aoki Takeaway Listed
In 2011, with the support of Jiang Ting, Zhou Yuwen founded the "Are You Full" takeaway studio. At first, it was just to settle the small vendors who illegally set up stalls outside the school and to provide some poor college students with a part-time job. .
Zhou Yuwen never thought that one day he would make a listed company. The main reason is that Jiang Ting pushed too hard. From the beginning, it was just ordering food by phone, and then it launched an online platform and a third-party payment software. From a takeaway From the studio to a company with a valuation of hundreds of millions.
This company seems to be going smoothly, but it has also experienced too much anxiety. For example, the collective food poisoning incident in Jiangning District, if it wasn't because of Zhou Yuwen's presence, this company might not have survived.
The company has gone through two rounds of financing. In the first round, Penguin Capital was successfully introduced. Zhou Yuwen held 75% of the shares, Penguin Capital held 15% of the shares, and Jiang Ting held 10% of the shares.
Later, another round of financing was carried out, and the valuation of Qingmu Takeaway was 6 billion. At that time, Zhou Yuwen was in urgent need of money, and another 15% was raised, leaving only 60% in Zhou Yuwen's hands.
As of 2018, Aoki Waimai has more than a dozen small shareholders, large and small. In addition to Penguin Capital, including Goldman Sachs and Sequoia, they all go to Aoki Waimai to take up shares. Zhou Yuwen only has 6% of the shares left Ten, it is still the sole major shareholder, and the shares in Jiang Ting's hands have already been exchanged with Song Baizhou. Later, Zhou Yuwen presented his eldest daughter, Zhou Xiaoyu, with 5% of the shares, which Jiang Ting will hold on her behalf.
At the beginning of 2018, Qingmu Waimai started its financing plan. In June, it submitted an IPO application to Nasdaq. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Bank of America Merrill Lynch jointly sponsored its IPO. The initial valuation was 60 billion In US dollars, due to fluctuations in the capital market, the final valuation was around US$40 billion, and the price per share was between US$6 and US$7.
In September, Zhou Yuwen led the original Qingmu food delivery team to charter a private jet to fly directly to Nasdaq. There were about fifty-six people traveling with him. These people followed Zhou Yuwen seven or eight years ago, and they were also Zhou Yuwen’s old team. , each of them enjoys company benefits, and once Aoki Food Delivery is successfully listed, the youngest of them will be multi-millionaires.
In addition to these people, as one of the founders of the company, Jiang Ting is indispensable and must follow, and there is the daughter of the two, Zhou Xiaoyu, who is already six years old.
Zhou Xiaoyu is very happy about going to the other side of the ocean, because she has lived in that country for four years. In their villa, she planted many flowers, and the nanny even raised a dog.
This time when she came back to Myrican again, she couldn't wait to show her father the place where she lived. From the time she was in the waiting room, Zhou Xiaoyu kept talking excitedly, saying that she would take her father to New York and treat him to steak or something.
Jiang Ting nodded with a smile and said, wait until then, can you ask Dad to spend a day with us, okay?
Zhou Xiaoyu nodded excitedly.
At this time, Zhou Yuwen was not in a good mood. The food delivery platform has made it to today, and everyone has paid too much for beauty. Of course, Jiang Ting is indispensable for this, but there is another girl who is also indispensable.
That was Chen Zixuan who appeared in her own life and then disappeared suddenly. Now there are 32 people in the original team, eight of them were senior executives who were helped by Chen Zixuan at that time. Now these ten brothers and sisters are in Zhou Yuwen's team. She already existed like a pillar here, but Chen Zixuan didn't know where she was now.
Before going abroad, Zhou Yuwen had found someone to contact Chen Zixuan, and even hoped to find Chen Zixuan through Song Baizhou, but Song Baizhou's answer was, son, some women are destined to be passers-by in life.
Hearing this, Zhou Yuwen felt melancholy. When he was reborn, Zhou Yuwen had the mentality of passing by, and he would not take the initiative or refuse when facing girls. However, as time went by, Zhou Yuwen's ability became stronger and stronger. They are capable of giving these girls happiness, and they want more and more. Now, Jiang Ting and the others get along very well, so why not add Chen Zixuan.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the VIP waiting room, watching the planes taking off one after another outside the window, Zhou Yuwen couldn't help feeling a little sad when he thought that he and Chen Zixuan would never see each other again.
"What's the matter? Yuwen." Jiang Ting seemed to see that her husband had something on his mind, and came over to ask.
Zhou Yuwen came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just thought of something, everyone who should be here has arrived, right?"
"Well, it's all here."
"Let's get on the plane then."
A total of 32 people went to the U.S. listing together this time. Besides the management team, Shen Wenwen, Han Qingqing, and Su Qianqian also went with them.
Shen Wenwen joined the company after graduating from university. At first, she was only in charge of secretarial work. Later, after establishing a relationship with Zhou Yuwen, she was reused. Now she is mainly responsible for the company's financial summary work.
As for Su Qianqian, who just graduated from graduate school and joined the company, she is currently in charge of legal affairs, but she is not very proficient in the business. Zhou Yuwen brought her by his side to train her, and she will definitely be reused in the future.
To be honest, Han Qingqing was not called by Zhou Yuwen. Although Han Qingqing also worked part-time on a food delivery platform during college, Zhou Yuwen didn't have a deep impression of Han Qingqing. Han Qingqing stayed in the Jiangning area for a while to help Jiang Ting. For a while, but at that time Han Qingqing was only working part-time, and it was impossible for Zhou Yuwen to think of everything about going public.
Zhou Yuwen was also a little surprised when he met Han Qingqing at the airport.
The weather wasn't too cold in September, Han Qingqing was still dressed as a casual house girl, wearing a purple loose shirt and denim shorts, and said hello awkwardly when she saw Zhou Yuwen.
Zhou Yuwen was curious: "Why are you here?"
"Me." Han Qingqing didn't know what to say for a while.
Jiang Ting explained at this time: "I asked her to come."
Zhou Yuwen gave Jiang Ting a strange look, and Jiang Ting said, "When the food delivery platform settled in Jiangning, Qingqing helped me a lot. Now that the food delivery group is about to go public, I think she should participate."
Zhou Yuwen glanced at Han Qingqing and nodded without saying anything. At this time, Su Qianqian came to Zhou Yuwen and said that there were some problems that he needed to check with Zhou Yuwen.
Zhou Yuwen followed Su Qianqian and left, leaving behind Han Qingqing and Jiang Ting. Han Qingqing was a little disappointed with Zhou Yuwen's attitude towards her. The relationship between the two was obviously good a while ago, why is it like this now?
In the end, it was because Han Tianzheng was too eager for quick success. At that time, Zhou Yuwen did have a crush on Han Qingqing, but Han Tianzheng wanted to use his power to overwhelm others. He felt that he could do whatever he wanted with a little money, but he didn't know that Zhou Yuwen had money in his hand. Know how much more than him.
Han Tianzheng's only advantage is the local snake, the strong dragon does not suppress the local snake, and Zhou Yuwen didn't intend to suppress him. He originally thought that the two acquaintances could make money together, but Han Tianzheng wanted to use his power to suppress others, which caused Zhou Yuwen to be in a bad mood. Although the two are still cooperating, Zhou Yuwen is clearly alienating Han Qingqing.
Obviously only a little bit
Whenever she thinks of this, Han Qingqing feels a little lost. She also knows that her father is doing it for her own good, but before that, she and Zhou Yuwen developed very well because of her father's eagerness for quick success.
well
"It's okay, he's just like this, I'll just make it clear to him in the future." Jiang Ting patted Han Qingqing on the shoulder and said.
Seeing Jiang Ting's kind smile, Han Qingqing was a little moved: "Thank you, Jiang Ting."
"Thank you, we are good sisters, this is not like you." Jiang Ting said with a smile.
Zhou Yuwen discussed some financial issues with Su Qianqian and Shen Wenwen over there. Finance and taxation is the top priority of a group. Although she intends to hand it over to Shen Wenwen, Shen Wenwen is obviously not qualified enough, so she can only do the last The general direction of review is still to be outsourced.
And now there are 70 or 80 professional accountants in the finance department to do the final calculation, Shen Wenwen is only responsible for the final nod, and when encountering legal problems, they are summarized to Su Qianqian.
Su Qianqian went to discuss with Zhou Yuwen whether to do this.
When it comes to taxation, it is another big problem. The two concepts of reasonable tax avoidance and tax evasion are difficult to clarify. There is a business that can pay taxes, but it can also not pay.
Regarding this point, Su Qianqian was about to ask Zhou Yuwen whether it should be included in the tax.
Regarding this point, Zhou Yuwen's attitude is very clear, that is, tax avoidance is not tax evasion, and the money that should be paid must not be less.
"In the future, you two sisters need to pay more attention to legal affairs and finance. Wenwen, although Qianqian is older than you, she came to the company late after all. There are many things that you don't know as much as you do. You have to teach her more. OK." Zhou Yuwen said.
Shen Wenwen nodded and said, "I know."
"Qianqian, you need to learn more from Wenwen."
"I know, Wenwen and I are on good terms. We have known each other since college." Su Qianqian said coquettishly while holding Shen Wenwen's hand.
Seeing that the two of them get along well, Zhou Yuwen is relieved. Su Qianqian is a bit paranoid, but she has no bad intentions, and she is willing to listen to her own words, and Shen Wenwen is even more obedient. Zhou Yuwen was also relieved to be together.
Before the plane took off, Zhou Yuwen put his arms around one, took two obedient little girls to watch the plane in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and said with a smile, you two will get along well in the future, and my husband will buy you a plane alone in the future OK?
Su Qianqian and Shen Wenwen both found it funny, Su Qianqian smiled and said that you can brag!
"How can this be bragging? How much is a private jet? If you want, I will buy you a spaceship." Zhou Yuwen said.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, everyone boarded the plane and flew to the other side of the ocean. It took more than ten hours to arrive. Zhou Yuwen came to Microcon for the first time since he was reborn. It can be said that he was unfamiliar with the place. Fortunately, Jiang Ting was here I have lived here for four years and invested in some industries, so I am very familiar with this place.
Since they got off the plane, they were all handed over to Jiang Ting. Naturally, a blond foreign girl came to receive them.
A slender American beauty appeared at the airport wearing an ol's hip-wrapped skirt. When she got up, she hugged Jiang Ting and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Jiang."
"Long time no see." Jiang Ting hugged the woman.
Then I introduced to Zhou Yuwen that this is Audrey, my professional manager in the United States, and she takes care of all my properties.
This American beauty has an infectious smile and charming eyes. After Jiang Ting's introduction, she naturally looked at Zhou Yuwen and greeted with a smile: "Hi! Mr. Zhou, I often hear my boss mention you."
"Nice to meet you, Miss Audrey," Zhou Yuwen smiled and shook hands with Audrey.
"Well, let's go to the hotel first."
The airports in the United States are basically built in the suburbs, surrounded by endless fields, and the rest are roads that stretch for thousands of miles.
Before coming here, Jiang Ting had made it clear to Audrey the purpose and number of people coming this time, so this time Audrey not only came alone, but also brought a team of service personnel and a long team of motorcades.
All black Mercedes-Benz cars are arranged in internationally famous star-rated hotels.
Audrey is a chatterbox, and she has been chattering on and on since getting in the car. She can speak Chinese, but her Chinese is not very standard, so it sounds a bit weird.
She told Zhou Yuwen that she had heard from my boss a long time ago how great you are. My boss has made a lot of money investing in virtual currency and new energy Facebook in the past few years.
"Whenever I praised her, she always said that these investments were your advice to her. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't believe it until I met you. I think you are a wise man. No wonder you let me The boss is so obsessed!" Audrey chattered while sitting in the car.
Zhou Yuwen just smiled when he heard this, put his arms around Zhou Xiaoyu and said nothing.
As the boss, Zhou Yuwen must be in the lead. Besides the driver, Audrey is in the co-pilot, while Jiang Ting and Zhou Xiaoyu are in the back row with Zhou Yuwen.
The others sat in the car behind them in turn.
Audrey is full of admiration for Zhou Yuwen, not only because of the investment advice Zhou Yuwen gave Jiang Ting, but also because the company that Zhou Yuwen personally came to list this time, a $40 billion company, is a man who is only 25 years old. up.
To Audrey, this is simply a miracle, a miracle from the East.
If this listing is successful, Zhou Yuwen's name will appear on the list of American worshipers. Zhou Yuwen holds 60% of the shares of Aoki Food Delivery, which is 120 billion US dollars. A 25-year-old billionaire, And he's still so handsome, who wouldn't admire him.
And according to Audrey, she has also watched several movies made by Zhou Yuwen, and she feels that Zhou Yuwen's life experience is like a legend.
After sitting in the car for two hours, I had been listening to Audrey talking endlessly along the way. Zhou Yuwen was a little embarrassed to be so thick-skinned.
Jiang Ting didn't expect that Audrey could speak so well after not seeing her for a year, so she could only smile and say, "Um, Audrey, we've been on a plane for fifteen hours, can you give us a break?" Is it?"
"Uh, I'm really sorry, I was too excited." Audrey said with a smile.
