Chapter 596 Chapter 558 Selling a shared bicycle(1/2)
Liu Shuolai was angry. After Zhou Yuwen explained, he realized that the person in front of him was Lu Lin's father.
This really scared Liu Shuo, because Lu Lin has been with Zhou Yuwen for so long and Liu Shuo has known each other for a long time, but he didn't expect that Lu Lin actually has a father.
It's not that I really didn't expect it.
I didn't expect that Lu Lin's father was the kind of person who did shameful things.
Zhou Yuwen did not talk much about Liu Shuo, but just ordered Liu Shuo to arrange a residence for Lu's father.
Then I went over and called. I thought Tao Tian and the others were worried now, like ants on the hot pan.
After Zhou Yuwen called, he couldn't help chatting with the girls for a while, and then called Lu Lin to say a few words. But when he came back, he found that Liu Shuo had actually drunk Lu's father.
There was really no way. The scene played by Lu's father was too sudden. Everyone followed Zhou Yuwen without eating. Now the crisis has finally been resolved. Taking advantage of the fact that there is food here, I definitely want to eat a few more bites.
Zhou Yuwen said he didn't have to eat here either.
"After the arrangement is done, let's have a good meal. Dad Lu, let's find a better hotel and have a good meal."
Lu's father was very satisfied with Zhou Yuwen's name, and he nodded quickly and said, "Everyone follows my good son-in-law's arrangement."
So, I was busy with Lu Lin’s father’s affairs tonight, so I was very busy with the residence. Anyway, Liu Shuo lived alone, so I simply arranged Lu Lin’s father in.
Then in the evening, Zhou Yuwen originally wanted to go home with Lu Lin, but who thought that his father would not let Zhou Yuwen go, and even said that Zhou Yuwen wanted to drink with him.
Zhou Yuwen couldn't refuse this old man, so he asked Lu Lin to go back first.
Lu Lin glanced at Zhou Yuwen, then looked at her father, and finally just told her to drink less, then turned around and left. You know, at home, there were still a group of women waiting for Lu Lin to gossip.
Lu's father had a good alcohol tolerance, but fortunately, Liu Shuo was with Zhou Yuwen, otherwise he really didn't know when he would be fed. The three men drank alcohol just to brag about some of the things that were not. Lu's father has been knowledgeable outside in recent years and he told them all. Zhou Yuwen didn't take it seriously.
However, the lives he talked about were always envious of Liu Shuo, so when Lu’s father said this, Liu Shuo only felt that his eyes were shining, and he admired Lu’s father after drinking.
Lu's father has a special identity and cannot stay in China for too long. Zhou Yuwen also contacted Lu Wanting the next morning and asked Lu Wanting to arrange a reasonable identity for Lu's father and others in Canada, and spent money to purchase some industries in Canada.
There is a chaos in Canada. What Zhou Yuwen can provide them with is nothing more than financial help. As for how far they can get, Zhou Yuwen doesn't know.
After arranging Lu Lin’s father’s affairs, September was already unknowingly.
During this period, Zhou Yuwen took a few girls to the United States. After returning, everything was the same. The shared bicycle project he had done with Jiang Xinyi had now spread all over the country. Although some people realized the profit points of shared bicycles and began to follow suit.
But Zhou Yuwen is an original creator after all, and with official support, the development of shared bicycles has been smooth sailing.
Since its inception in Jinling, the total investment is about 1.46 million yuan. After a round of financing, I got three million yuan, followed by a round of B and b+, raising 20 million yuan and opening up the entire Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei market.
In the C round at the beginning of the year, Zhou Yuwen took the lead in raising 100 million US dollars, and the C+ round was supplemented by 55 million.
Although Zhou Yuwen has not paid much attention to the shared bicycle project, it is undeniable that this project itself is a very cost-effective project.
In just one year, after five rounds of financing, the total valuation has long exceeded one billion US dollars.
And in September, Zhu Hong once again found Zhou Yuwen on behalf of Meituan, in an attempt to reach a cooperation with Zhou Yuwen.
Meituan has been following Zhou Yuwen a long time ago. Whether it is his takeaway plan, the later interesting campus app, or shared bicycles, Meituan feels that the projects Zhou Yuwen has done are very similar to his own projects and can be included in its own ecosystem.
Meituan did not take Zhou Yuwen seriously in the original takeaway company.
At that time, Zhou Yuwen was just a college student who had been lucky enough to start a successful business.
It is because of this neglect that they missed Zhou Yuwen's friendship.
Meeting again, Zhou Yuwen has grown into the youngest capital crocodile in China.
Meituan is larger than Zhou Yuwen, but his group is also complicated and not as free as Zhou Yuwen. They entrusted Zhu Hong to negotiate with Zhou Yuwen and did not have the nerve to say the acquisition.
I just said that I hope to cooperate with Zhou Yuwen and include shared bicycles in Meituan's ecosystem.
That is to say, using Meituan, you can directly use shared bicycles to ride.
This is similar to Alipay's current Sesame Credit.
In other words, the emperor penguin was already standing behind Meituan at this time.
Zhou Yuwen told Zhu Hong very directly that he was not interested in participating in their game of lords.
"But if you are really optimistic about the shared bicycle project, I can sell it to you."
"Sell? Are you sure? You have to know, this is a good project."
Zhu Hong was a little surprised. She felt that Zhou Yuwen was not short of money and there was no need to take advantage of a hen that lays golden eggs.
Zhou Yuwen naturally had his own considerations. He could make shared bicycles, but he was just the first person to try it out. However, the maintenance of shared bicycles is not simple. Don’t say that some unscrupulous residents like to hide shared bicycles for their own use, but the simple deposit issue. Zhou Yuwen could embezzle them for his own use in the early stage.
However, if there are too many competitors in the later stage, you basically don’t need to use a deposit, which is all about Sesame Credit.
Zhou Yuwen has no intention of doing these things, not to mention that shared bicycles have now reached a bottleneck period, so it is most appropriate to stop at this time.
Zhou Yuwen said: "I don't want to sell it either, but you know that I bought two more manors abroad. I urgently need cash to build my manor."
Zhu Hong laughed after hearing this, and she said, "Sometimes I really can't understand you. Now it is obviously the best time. So much money is looking forward to entering this big cake, but you always want to leave."
"I didn't leave, I just focused more on enjoyment."
Zhou Yuwen made an excuse for himself.
Zhu Hong said OK.
"I will tell the company about this. I don't know how much you want to sell."
Zhou Yuwen gave a relatively reasonable price.
Three billion US dollars, equivalent to two hundred and forty billion.
It is not a small amount, but it is definitely a good deal for Meituan. You should know that with the current market share of shared bicycles, the future listing will be worth at least 6 billion US dollars.
However, Zhou Yuwen cannot make these listings. Maybe he really wants to go to Nasdaq to ring the bell, and the other party said he wants to obtain road information for all shared bicycles.
That would be awkward.
So it's best to sell now.
After receiving the news, Meituan fell into hesitation.
Three billion, you can definitely take it out.
But after taking it out, it is difficult to get enough.
If three billion US dollars are given to Zhou Yuwen, it will affect their next plan.
But if Zhou Yuwen doesn't give it to the public, if he sells the shared bicycles to the Alibaba, their Penguin will be more passive.
At present, Alibaba has seized territory across the country, and the newly launched Sesame Credit hopes to keep all users in its ecosystem. If Penguin does not express anything, the loss of wealth will increase.
So after hesitating for two days, Meituan reported the decision to Penguin, and Penguin directly agreed.
He expressed his willingness to pay $3 billion to buy shared bicycles, but he couldn't afford so much money for a while. He hoped that Zhou Yuwen could wait for them for two months.
Zhou Yuwen said that this is also simple.
"I recently played the Honor of Kings by your company's Tianmei Studio. I think this is a good project. If your company is willing to exchange the studio shares, I will be very willing."
Tianmei Studio was established in 2014. In just one year, it has designed a number of popular games for Penguin, including the first version of Honor of Kings.
However, although Honor of Kings is now online, it is not as popular as later generations, and its value is slightly lower. Overall, it is estimated that it will not cost 100 million US dollars.
So it can't be much money. What's important is that they are unwilling to sell too much Tianmei shares.
Therefore, Zhou Yuwen finally obtained only 30% of Tianmei's shares and obtained the operating rights of Honor of Kings.
Of course, for this operational right, they cut 500 million US dollars in shared bicycles, and the final transaction price was 2.5 billion.
Zhu Hong passed the message back and forth under these two forces.
When it reached 2.5 billion, Zhou Yuwen did not agree directly. He said that he could agree to this request, but he had an additional request.
"You have any other ideas to say directly, and you can also let me go less." Zhu Hong said jokingly.
Zhou Yuwen said: "I want you."
“???”
Zhu Hong was stunned. Looking at Zhou Yuwen's serious appearance, she did misunderstand Zhou Yuwen.
After Zhou Yuwen's explanation, he found out that it was Zhou Yuwen who hoped Zhu Hong could go to his company to help him.
This made Zhu Hong feel a little flattered for a moment. She didn't expect Zhou Yuwen to value him so much. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhou, first of all, I'm very grateful for your respect, but I don't think I can agree to you about this."
Zhou Yuwen said it was okay.
"What I want is not your answer, I think they will give me the answer I want."
"" Zhu Hong was speechless when she heard this.
To be honest, Zhu Hong actually wanted to stay in Meituan. After all, she has worked in Meituan for so long and has become a rank-in official on the side. It would be a pity to leave like this.
But after knowing Zhou Yuwen’s request, the group thought the deal was very cost-effective.
He also said that if Zhu Hong was unwilling to leave Meituan, she could just resign after going to his place.
""
Zhu Hong was speechless.
The two sides bargained again about this matter, and in the end, Zhu Hong found Zhou Yuwen and discussed it and completed the transaction at a price of US$2.5 billion. However, Zhou Yuwen did not ask for Zhu Hong, but obtained a certain share in Meituan and became a small shareholder of Meituan.
