My Age of Investment
150, 10 million users
???? "Break through 10 million users!"
???? As the puppy roared at the workstation, the employees rushed out of the workstation and sprayed with the prepared champagne, and the office suddenly became a sea of joy!
???? It really became an ocean, almost submerged, and champagne sprayed everywhere.
???? Xia Jingxing heard the movement and rushed out to take a look.
???? The puppy is drenched in champagne like a drowning dog, and the hair is all wet...
???? He smiled at Xia Jingxing while still spitting water, "Boss, ten million!"
???? Xia Jingxing couldn't help but feel a little overjoyed when he heard this number. Step by step, it was not easy to reach this point.
???? But then he saw the messy office and the employees who staged the temptation to get wet, and he couldn't laugh anymore!
???? Just as he was about to start cursing, a champagne fountain gave him a chill!
???? He looked at the initiator, Yang Niu, who smiled at her: "Are you happy? Are you surprised?"
???? This can still be endured, Xia Jingxing grabbed a bottle of champagne from the hand of an employee next to him, pressed the cork, and with a bang, a champagne waterfall sprayed towards the babes.
????result!
???? The puppy was pulled and put on his back, and was sprayed on his face again. The foreign girl hiding behind the puppy was also drenched in a little "drizzle", her hair was wet, but it was far less embarrassing than the puppy.
???? "I was careless, I didn't flash..."
???? The little dog wiped his bitter melon face with his hands, looking very hurt and aggrieved.
???? With such a ghostly appearance in the office, Xia Jingxing didn't bother to blame the employees who were chasing and screaming.
???? In order to completely suppress the dating network in the past few months, everyone has been holding a sigh of relief, and has also endured considerable work pressure and psychological pressure.
???? Now it's not bad to let everyone decompress properly!
???? The office was so dirty that it was impossible to work anymore, Xia Jingxing simply gave the employees a half-day leave and called a cleaning company to help clean up the office.
???? Except for a small number of people who stayed behind, everyone else was let out by him, whether it was a dinner party or a party, they could do whatever they wanted.
????…………
????…………
???? There is still half a month before the March period agreed with the dating network, and Facebook is the first to announce that it has exceeded 10 million users!
???? This news was reprinted and reported by many Silicon Valley media, and various interpretations were given.
???? Some media said: Facebook, as the first website in the industry to announce that the number of users exceeded 10 million, has once again defended its throne and is the well-deserved "King of Social Networking".
???? There are also media who remember the small note that Xia Jingxing handed out?? There is a sentence on it: Three months to resolve the battle.
???? These media began to pick things up: under the strong offensive of Facebook, other social networking sites have been losing ground, and they have dared to speak out in the media. The Facebook CEO's prediction came true? The battle for the social network king is over in three months.
????More media?? Directly went to the door to find a dating network and asked the other party how to respond to this matter.
???? The media has always been unscrupulous?? How to ridicule Facebook at that time, how much to tout Facebook now.
???? This news was actually released by Xia Jingxing to the media on purpose?? It was mainly for the publicity of the next A round of financing.
???? It's hard to get a high valuation without taking the dating network down. ?? Facebook.
continue reading! ???? The CEO of Dating.com, Jonathan, was beaten very hard in the face of overwhelming public opinion.
???? But he is not one to sit still. In order to reverse the unfavorable public opinion, he immediately arranged to accept a media interview.
???? "Facebook recently announced that its website users exceeded 10 million?? I seriously doubt the authenticity of this data."
???? "Dating network is not lagging behind?? We are the first social networking site to open up the international market,
There are millions of users in Southeast Asia. "
???? "Time will tell, I don't want to say more."
????
???? The media successfully picked things up and came to interview Facebook: How to prove the authenticity of 10 million users.
???? Xia Jingxing's reply is very concise and powerful: We have launched the A round of financing, and we have begun to accept the preliminary due diligence of venture capital institutions. Whether it is true or false, there will be venture capital institutions to prove it with practical actions.
???? Seeing that Facebook is so emboldened?? They have begun to accept venture capital due diligence.
???? At this moment, the media, who were a little suspicious of the authenticity of Facebook data, have also been shaken.
???? And?? If there is such a thing as data fraud, it will be a big scandal? Facebook don't even think about getting investment.
In addition, Amazon's Alexa ranking is also very valuable for reference. The media intercepted the ranking and reported it.
???? The above rankings show that Facebook is still firmly on the top of the dating network, and the gap is getting wider and wider.
???? After Facebook gained the upper hand in public opinion, the voices of doubts were also reduced.
???? Most people who follow this aspect also accept the fact that Facebook is ahead.
???? Of course, there are always doubts.
???? To convince them completely, unless Facebook gets a lot of money from venture capital institutions to shut them up with practical actions.
????…………
????…………
???? Xia Jingxing is indeed in contact with major venture capital institutions, but it has not yet reached the point of preliminary due diligence.
???? Before the official financing, he invited old John and Andrew, two directors and shareholders, to the Facebook conference room to discuss Facebook's A round of financing.
???? "Now that the number of Facebook users has officially exceeded 10 million, and most people agree with Facebook's leadership, it is a good time to start the A round of financing."
???? Old John looked at Xia Jingxing admiringly, "Your timing is really good!"
???? Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "Before, I was too close to Dating.com's data, and I always felt that the financing time was not ripe, and it was difficult to convince venture capitalists to accept a high valuation.
???? And there was money in the account at that time, so there was no need for financing.
???? But now, the company's monthly operating expenses are getting bigger and bigger, so I think the time is ripe for financing. "
???? Andrew asked: "How many VCs have you approached now?"
???? Yang Niuhui reported: "We have been in contact with more than a dozen venture capital institutions, including several angel investors."
???? "What institutions are there?" Old John's eyes looked over.
???? "There are Sequoia Capital, First Round Capital, DFJ Capital, Kleiner Perkins...
???? Individual investors have Reid Hoffman, Peter Thiel…”
???? Old man John nodded, "Yes, it seems that you have been favored by well-known investment institutions."
???? After speaking, the old man continued to ask: "What are you going to do next?
continue reading! manage? "
???? "Inquire first!"
???? Xia Jingxing wrote lightly, "The ones with too low bids will be screened out from the first round, and the rest will go to the second round."
???? Old man John said with a smile: "This can be done, but for a well-known investment institution, you can give priority to it under the same conditions or slightly lower conditions.
???? With the endorsement of well-known investment institutions, the B round financing and C round financing behind Facebook are much easier.
???? Moreover, well-known investment institutions have always been well-connected and can contact investors for subsequent financing rounds for you. "
???? Xia Jingxing shook his head, "If Sequoia Capital's bid is too low, I will not consider them."
???? Old John frowned, "Why? A proper compromise is necessary."
???? Xia Jingxing shook his head, "I think we need to be stronger, Facebook has not received the A round of financing, but it can still beat the dating network that has received the A round of financing.
???? Well-known investment institutions play a very limited role for us.
???? We have a principle: the one with the highest price gets it! "
???? Old John saw that Xia Jingxing was becoming more and more assertive, and he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
???? He did not argue with Xia Jingxing and chose to give the founding team trust and support: "In short, you can weigh it yourself!"
???? "I don't mind either."
???? Andrew Tantanshou, who has always invested in Buddhism, is very supportive of Xia Jingxing.
???? Xia Jingxing nodded, after reaching an internal consensus, he was going to meet various venture capitalists.
