In the ranch in New Zealand, you will feel that the rhythm of life has slowed down immediately. Every day, when you ride a horse and feed the animals, the time will not pass.

Of course, in Liu Shishi's current state, he definitely cannot ride a horse, but she also likes to watch the scene of the sheep being driven on the grassland by the shepherd dog...

He continued to live with Liu Shishi in the ranch in Queenstown for a few days. When it was confirmed that she had adapted to the life here and was in good condition, William Chen said goodbye to her and returned to China first.

After all, William Chen still has too many things to do, so he can't live in this kind of comfortable life all the time.

The new CEO of Future Investment Company is Li Ying's deputy, Gu Xiaojuan, a very nimble woman in her thirties.

After Chen William arrived in Yanjing, she specifically reported to him her work during this period. What attracts the most attention at present is the increasingly fierce Thousand Regiment War in China.

Just recently, Dianping conducted the latest round of financing. In the last financing, Huaxia Future Capital invested US$60 million at a post-investment valuation of US$300 million, holding 20% ​​of the shares of Dianping.

This time, facing the competition from thousands of group buying websites in China, Dianping is also preparing to open a new round of financing to join this money-burning competition.

This time, Dianping plans to raise $200 million at a post-investment valuation of $1 billion. Er, just over a year later, their valuation will rise from $300 million to $1 billion, which seems like a lot, but in the current environment of group buying, it is also very reasonable.

This has not yet been compared with groupon. The valuation has been directly shouted at 25 billion US dollars in the recent IPO... At that time, when zoom company and meta investment company raised funds, what was the valuation.

Originally, Huaxia Future Capital wanted to cover the salary of this public comment, so that after this financing, the shares they held would increase from 20% to 36%, reaching the expectation of more than 35%.

However, it seems that Dianping.com does not agree with this. They have other ideas and hope to introduce more investors. It seems that they do not want Huaxia Future Capital to hold too much share.

However, China Future Capital is still one of the main investors. The final financing plan is for China Future Capital to invest 140 million US dollars to increase their shareholding from 20% to 30%.

As for the remaining $60 million, there are other venture capital investors including idg capital. It is worth mentioning that Xiao Wang has successfully participated in the financing of this public comment. His Pusi Investment, also in this financing, invested 20 million US dollars, and got 2% of the shares of Dianping.

It seems that he can't stand the battle of thousands of regiments. His father gave him 500 million yuan, which cost more than 100 million yuan. However, his investment this time will definitely not lose money, and he will make a lot of money. If he can keep it, it will be better than investing in other messy group buying websites.

The second thing is that Xiaomi's mobile phone is on the market, and the performance is very bright, and the mobile phone has been sold out.

Of course, this is mainly because their company's current supply chain is not complete, and the output is not high, so it has resulted in the result of hungry marketing, and even many scalpers go to the official website to grab mobile phones, and then increase the price to take out.

In the last Xiaomi A round of financing, because Li Ying left the future investment company to become the CEO of the South Pacific Industrial Investment Company, it was the financing of Xiaomi that Gu Xiaojuan took over.

In the early seed round of financing, Huaxia Future Capital won 25% of Xiaomi's shares. At that time, the name Xiaomi had not even been born.

After such a long period of cooperation, Huaxia Future Capital has a good relationship with Lei Jun. Therefore, in the A round of financing, they not only maintained their shareholding, but also slightly increased their shareholding. They now hold 30% of Xiaomi's shares. .

Interestingly, Boss Ma also participated in the financing of Xiaomi this time, and Ali also holds 5% of the shares of Xiaomi. His purpose is that the pre-installed software of Xiaomi mobile phones includes Ali apps. And the Chinese version of the joint venture between Ali and Chen William.

Xiaomi, which has not developed Mi Chat, focuses on the improvement of mobile phones and miui systems, and may be able to develop faster than in the previous life.

What Gu Xiaojuan reported to Chen William was all the main projects of the future investment company. As for other less important projects, naturally there was no need to waste Chen William's time.

At present, the branch of Future Investment Company in Yanjing is in the main building of the third phase of China World Trade Center, which has been renamed tc Tianchao Building. When Chen William returned to the courtyard, he saw Nazha who was waiting for him here.

Before that, Nuozha, Bai Bing, Li Yuxi and the others had lived here for a few days, and the servants who stayed here knew her, so after receiving Chen William's order, she would naturally let her come in ahead of time.

Now, Nazha is about to enter her sophomore year, but according to Chen William's instructions, although Huayi Company has been very considerate to find a lot of roles for her to appear in film and television works, Nazha is still in no hurry for the time being. famous.

"Mr. William."

After seeing William Chen enter the room, Nuza quickly stood up and said to him.

Today, Nazha is wearing a white dress, with a tall figure and looks extraordinarily beautiful.

"Don't be so polite, sit down." William Chen took her hand, sat on the sofa, and asked, "How is your father?"

"The operation has been completed, and the doctor said that he is recovering well." Nazha was holding hands by Chen William, feeling his heart was beating fast, and peeking at him, Nazha said sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. William."

Although this money is not difficult to earn with Nazha's popularity afterward. But at present, it is a very large amount for her. She is just a student, and she can't imagine how she can make so much money.

Just like many people, when they were young, because of the lack of wealth accumulation, they would have many regrets and misses. After years of struggle to achieve financial freedom, there is no way to recover those lost.

"Are you on vacation now?"

"That's right." Speaking of this, Nuozha became a little happy: "I can finally relax a little bit, and I don't have to get up every morning to do morning exercises."

"Do you have to get up early every day in your school?"

William Chen didn't quite know what their student life at Nortel was like.

"Yeah, we have to get up at three or four in the morning every day to do morning exercises."

"Three or four in the morning? So early?"

William Chen asked in surprise.

"It was not necessary to get up so early in the beginning, but the teacher stipulated that if a classmate is late, the next day will be half an hour earlier, so slowly it will be early to three or four in the morning. At this time, when the time cannot be If it is earlier, the students who are late will have to write a review, and the number of words in the back of the review is doubled compared to the previous one..."

It turned out to be like this William Chen asked with a smile, "Then have you been late?"

Nazha stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly, "My highest record was writing a review of 10,000 words. After I finished writing it without sleeping the night before, I went straight to the morning exercise at 3 am the next day."

It was the first time that William Chen had heard of what she said. He didn't expect the film academy to be so strict. But it's normal to think about it. The boys and girls there are all young people carefully selected from all over the country. Whether it is good looks or literary talent, they are considered to be the best among their peers. In their own hometown, they are also a few A good person, if not strictly disciplined, it is really not easy to restrain them.

After all, the Film Academy is too close to the entertainment circle, and this circle has too much temptation and darkness.

"It's a holiday now, is there any place you want to go, travel, etc.?"

"Ah? South Korea." Nazha said embarrassedly: "I have watched some South Korean TV dramas since I was a child, but I have never been there. I want to try the food in those TV shows, what kind of barbecue and so on."

"That's right, I'll go over there these days to talk about some things. You can come and watch it with me when you have time, but it's the same thing in the TV series. It's okay to go there and experience the local characteristics, but Life there, if you stay there for a long time, it is estimated that you will not be able to bear it.”

"Yes, I still prefer Huaguo. The food here is different and there are many varieties. If you have been eating kimchi in South Korea, I really don't like it."

Uh, why do you have to talk about eating everything? Could it be that this Nazha, under the appearance of a beauty, is a foodie?
