Chapter 292 An Unexpected Encounter

"...However, if Douyin needs financing, I will definitely inform Mr. Wang."

Jiang Chen would not deny Douyin financing.

Internet products like Douyin can only maximize their benefits through financing.

He created Douyin just to make money.

If you don’t raise money and don’t increase your valuation, you might as well go home and have children.

"When will Mr. Jiang prepare to raise funds?" Wang Qiong asked.

"Early next year." Jiang Chen gave Wang Qiong an exact time.

"Early next year?" Wang Qiong nodded. Although there is still half a year, this is good news for her.

"Mr. Wang, you still need to keep this matter confidential. Now Douyin refuses any financing." Jiang Chen said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang." Wang Qiong nodded.

Even if Jiang Chen didn't say it, she wouldn't tell anyone else about it.

After all, companies like Douyin may not be able to become Didi Taxi in the future. It would not be a good thing for them to reveal the news too early.

"Mr. Wang, how much money do you think Didi Taxi can raise this time?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Mr. Jiang still wants to participate this time?" Wang Qiong responded.

"The potential of Didi Taxi will become higher and higher in the future, so I naturally want to participate. Isn't it Mr. Wang?" Jiang Chen asked rhetorically.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm afraid it won't be easy to raise money this time," Wang Qiong said.

Jiang Chen looked at Wang Qiong.

"This time Didi Taxi's financing attracted many big names in the investment banking industry." Wang Qiong said: "Even we must treat these big names in the investment banking industry with caution."

"Thank you, Mr. Wang."

Jiang Chen's heart trembled.

In the previous life, there were only a few people who were called big bosses in the investment banking industry. But things are different in this integrated world of film and television. In this integrated world of film and television, there are many investment banking tycoons in film and television dramas.

Unless he can understand all the movies and TV series, he can know the specific big guys.

However, this is also impossible.

After all, there are too many movies and TV series.

You can't remember it until you've seen it.

At this time, there was a noise at the door.

"I didn't expect him to come too." Wang Qiong looked up.

"Who is he?" Jiang Chen looked up and saw that the person coming was somewhat familiar.

"MH Investment Bank Yuan Shuai." Wang Qiong replied.

"Yuan Shuai?"

Jiang Chen thought about it carefully and finally remembered.

Isn't Yuan Shuai the leading actor in "Half Honey, Half Hurt"?

By the way, Jiang Jun, the heroine of "Half Honey, Half Hurt", was the same actor as Shi Yi in her previous life.

"Yuan Shuai is a young talent from MH Investment Bank. He is now well-known in the investment banking industry and has the opportunity to join the board of directors of MH Investment Bank." Wang Qiong said.

"That's it." Jiang Chen's heart moved.

Yuan Shuai has not yet entered the board of directors of MH Investment Bank and became a gold medal executive director, which means that the plot has not yet begun.

"The appearance of Yuan Shuai means that MH Investment Bank is determined to win Didi Taxi's financing." Wang Qiong glanced at Jiang Chen and said, "To be honest, this Yuan Shuai is just like Mr. Jiang, he is an upstart in the investment banking industry."

"Mr. Wang is joking." Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "I am different from Yuan Shuai. I am almost thirty, and Yuan Shuai is only in his mid-twenties. Compared with him, I am old."

Youth is capital.

Even in the investment banking world.

"What Mr. Jiang means is that people like me can retire?" Wang Qiong glanced at Jiang Chen and said.

"Mr. Wang, you know that's not what I meant." Jiang Chen shook his head. He didn't want to offend Wang Qiong.

"I don't know who else is coming now." Jiang Chen saw Yuan Shuai and looked forward to this Didi taxi financing even more.

At the same time, Jiang Chen thought of the list.

In the list given by Nie Xingchen before, there were several names of capital parties that he was somewhat familiar with, but he didn't think of them from those dramas.

Moreover, he also understands that even if it is the capital side in any drama, the protagonist may not appear.

"Mr. Jiang, let me introduce Yuan Shuai to you." Wang Qiong said.

"Okay." Jiang Chen did not refuse.

Wang Qiong brought Jiang Chen to Yuan Shuai.

"Mr. Wang."

Yuan Shuai knows Wang Qiong.

In the investment banking world, Wang Qiong is now a senior.

"Mr. Yuan."

Wang Qiong pointed at Jiang Chen and said, "This is Jiang Chen, Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang..."

"Star Capital, Jiang Chen." Jiang Chen took Wang Qiong's words.

Wang Qiong glanced at Jiang Chen and said nothing more.

"Mr. Jiang, hello." Yuan Shuai looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was introduced by Wang Qiong.

Although he didn't know Jiang Chen's identity, he didn't dare to neglect Wang Qiong to introduce him.

"Mr. Yuan, nice to meet you." Jiang Chen looked at Yuan Shuai.

Yuan Shuai, is he handsome?

Jiang Chen doesn’t think so!

Today, Yuan Shuai is his opponent, and he will want to steal Jiang Jun from him in the future.

It looks similar to Shi Yi, so it might be exciting.

After saying hello to Yuan Shuai, Jiang Chen made an excuse and left.

At this time, another group of people came to the door.

"Arima."

Jiang Chen turned around and saw Alima walking in.

"Mr. Ma."

"Mr. Ma is here."

Arima's reputation was great, and many people gathered around him when he appeared.

"As expected of Arima."

Jiang Chen did not go up.

Although he had met Arima several times, there was no need to go to see Arima like these people chasing stars.

Jiang Chen looked at Yuan Shuai.

Yuan Shuai was very excited when he saw Arima, but he did not step forward.

"He is a character. No wonder he was already the executive director of MH Investment Bank when he appeared in the play." Jiang Chen's heart sank.

Yuan Shuai is a character, but he is also a formidable opponent.

In the future, when Xingchen Group, no, Xingchen Capital develops, they may have to compete with Yuan Shuai more than once.

After dealing with those people, Alima walked over to Jiang Chen.

"Arima, damn it."

Jiang Chen's heart trembled.

Arima didn’t mean well. He originally wanted to keep a low profile before the financing started, but now that Arima is doing this, it’s impossible to keep a low profile.

That’s it for those who knew him.

Those who do not know him will also take Arima seriously because of his actions.

This is a blatant conspiracy.

However, Jiang Chen had no choice.

Seeing Ali Ma approaching, Jiang Chen walked over.

"Mr. Ma, long time no see." Jiang Chen smiled, as if there was no fluctuation in his heart just now.

"Mr. Jiang, I knew you would come today." Alima smiled.

"I can't help it." Jiang Chen didn't want to come, but unfortunately his company didn't have anyone who could do it. Therefore, even if he wanted to keep a low profile, he couldn't keep a low profile when Didi Taxi was financing.

"Come on, let's have a chat." Alimala said, pulling Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen had no choice but to follow Alima.

"Mr. Jiang, what do you think of this financing?" Alima asked.

"Very promising." Jiang Chen said.

"Very optimistic? Mr. Jiang, it seems we have the same idea." Alima said: "However, there are many competitors for this financing. How about our cooperation?"

"How does Mr. Ma think we should cooperate?" Jiang Chen asked.

"We..." Arima started.

Jiang Chen listened silently.

He felt that he only needed to listen to half of what Arima said.

No, even a tenth is a lot.

However, he also had to admire Arima's idea of ​​cooperation.

"Mr. Jiang, what do you think?" Alima asked after finishing his thoughts.

"Mr. Ma, we can join forces." Jiang Chen did not refuse. The price of rejecting Alima might be becoming Alima's enemy. Now he didn't want to waste time on Alima.

"I knew Mr. Jiang would definitely agree." Alima said.

"Mr. Ma, I hope you can participate when Douyin raises funds early next year." Jiang Chen whispered.

"Douyin..." Alima's pupils shrank and turned to look at Jiang Chen.

How could he not understand that Jiang Chen was giving him a signal.

Jiang Chen depends on his performance in this cooperation.

Jiang Chen looked at Alima with a smile.

He didn't believe that Arima wasn't interested in Douyin.

As long as Alima is interested in Douyin, then Alima can benefit from this financing. Just like what I talked to Wang Qiong before.

This is the best solution he has come up with so far.

"Mr. Jiang, our cooperation will be very pleasant," Alima said.

"I think so too." Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.

Soon, all the capital parties arrived.

Financing began under the auspices of Mr. Cheng of Didi Taxi.

Financing is about re-dividing the cake and eating it too.

After several hours of discussion, Didi Taxi announced that it had completed US$3.5 billion in financing, US$500 million more than in its previous life. Investors are composed of several institutions such as Star Capital, Alibaba, and MH Investment Bank.

"Finally finished."

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

The day Star Capital won $600 million.

Although it was not much and did not reach Jiang Chen's expected goal, he was already satisfied.

If he hadn't cooperated with Wang Qiong and Arima, and was resisted by other capital parties this time, he would have been a co-investor at most. However, after this financing, Xingchen Capital’s stake in Didi Dache increased to 8%.

"Let's leave too."

Seeing the capital parties leaving one by one, Jiang Chen said to Nie Xingchen and the two girls.

"good."

Nie Xingchen and the two girls nodded.

But when Jiang Chen walked out of the banquet hall, he saw many reporters in front of him.

"It's really troublesome. Follow me and don't reveal your identity." Jiang Chen was a little helpless. These reporters came here after hearing the news, but he didn't want to be interviewed.

Nie Xingchen and the two girls nodded.

"Walk."

Jiang Chen walked to the side.

Compared with other capital parties, Jiang Chen does not show up often and is a new face. Therefore, no one noticed when he brought Nie Xingchen and Yu Qingqing with him. Even if someone noticed, they thought they were staff.

Under the leadership of Jiang Chen, the three of them broke through the siege and left the group of reporters.

However, just when Jiang Chen thought it was safe, a voice came: "Excuse me, are you participating in Didi Taxi Financing?"

Jiang Chen's expression froze.

It's all like this and you're still blocked?

Are these reporters sharp-eyed?

However, this voice seems familiar.

Jiang Chen looked up.

"Hong Xiaoyu?"

"Jiang Chen?"

Jiang Chen was shocked, and so was Hong Xiaoyu.

Nie Xingchen's eyes flashed.

Jiang Chen knew this reporter.

Could it be one of Jiang Chen's women?

"Why are you here?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Why are you here?" Hong Xiaoyu also asked.

"I, I'm here to play." Jiang Chen said awkwardly.

"Playing? Do you think I will believe it?" Hong Xiaoyu glanced at Nie Xingchen and Yu Qingqing.

He looks good and has a good figure.

Why is Jiang Chen with them?

Did you do something wrong to Shi Yi?

"follow me."

Jiang Chen took Hong Xiaoyu and left.

There are so many people coming and going here, it wouldn't be good to be discovered.

Hong Xiaoyu was stunned.

However, there was no objection.

After a while, Jiang Chen brought Hong Xiaoyu to his room.

"call."

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Jiang Chen, what are you doing?"

Hong Xiaoyu glanced at Jiang Chen and Nie Xingchen.

"Xiaoyu, are you here for Didi Taxi's financing?" Jiang Chen thought of Hong Xiaoyu's identity.

"Yes, but why are you here?" Hong Xiaoyu asked.

"What do you think?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Are you also... No, you are not a reporter, you participated in Didi Taxi Financing?" Hong Xiaoyu was very smart and reacted quickly, but just because she reacted, she was very shocked.

Because she didn't know about this, it was a little hard to accept.

"right."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "I received several hundred million US dollars in financing..."

"Get the financing, no, Jiang Chen, you..." Hong Xiaoyu looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

"I opened a small company." Jiang Chen said, "I can reveal some information about Didi Taxi's financing to you, but you are not allowed to leak my information."

"Are you telling the truth?" Hong Xiaoyu asked.

Jiang Chen nodded to Yu Qingqing.

Yu Qingqing took out a document and handed it to Hong Xiaoyu.

Hong Xiaoyu glanced at it and his pupils shrank.

"Secretary Nie, Director Yu, you should go do your own things first." Jiang Chen said to Nie Xingchen and the other two girls.

"OK."

Nie Xingchen and the two girls left.

"Sit down." Jiang Chen said to Hong Xiaoyu.

"Jiang Chen, just now they..." Hong Xiaoyu asked after hesitation.

There was almost a misunderstanding last time in Jingjiang, so now Hong Xiaoyu is planning to ask for clarification.

"My secretary, and the company's legal director." Jiang Chen said.

"So, you really won the financing from Didi Taxi?" Hong Xiaoyu asked.

"When Didi Dache raised funds at the end of last year, I took a 5% stake in Didi Dache in the name of Xingchen Investment, and now Xingchen Investment has changed its name to Xingchen Capital," Jiang Chen said.

"Is it appropriate to know then?" Hong Xiaoyu asked.

"Shi Yi knows. I told her when we first went on a blind date. However, I didn't tell her specifically about coming to participate in the financing today. Because I don't want to be in the limelight."

When Jiang Chen said this, he looked at Hong Xiaoyu and said, "This is why I can tell you about financing, but you can't reveal any information about me."

"Jiang Chen, I didn't expect you to be so secretive." Hong Xiaoyu didn't expect that the information she got from Shi Yi before was limited. She only knew that Jiang Chen ran a company, so she thought it was a small company.

Unexpectedly, he was a big boss.

"If I hadn't met you today, I wouldn't have said anything." Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I left carefully just now. I thought I could avoid reporters, but you still blocked me."
