Chapter 284 Unexpected reaction

The conference room fell silent.

Lin Xue's words were half a reminder and half a threat, and everyone reacted.

Lei Jun frowned and glanced at Chen Zhihe.

Before this, the two had discussed the other's possible moves, but they did not expect the other to be so domineering.

Chen Zhihe chuckled lightly and said: "So, it is indeed a timely help, what else?"

Lin Xue was a little hesitant, but Chen Zhihe's reaction was a bit beyond his expectation.

Every time I invested in the past, this trick almost always failed.

Those small companies simply cannot refuse them, because if Tencent is optimistic about a product and cannot acquire or invest in it, they are fully capable of reinventing the wheel and creating a competing product in a short period of time.

Relying on their huge user base and user stickiness, they can quickly attract users to their camp.

Since then, the development path of small companies has almost collapsed.

Of course, letting Tencent into the game is not entirely a bad thing, otherwise not many people would be proud of Tencent’s investment.

Not everyone has full confidence in their products. Tencent can provide too many benefits.

Not to mention the comparison, they are willing to give money, which is not comparable to that of ordinary investment institutions.

The only problem is that when they give you more, you get more.

Unable to figure out what Chen Zhihe was thinking, Lin Xue stopped guessing. According to the planned strategy, she said in a deep voice: "In addition, the college market of Beike Company is almost saturated. I think you have also realized it.

At this point, we began to lay out the urban market. But the urban market is not comparable to universities, whether it is in terms of capital investment, urban management access, or operational difficulty, it is not comparable to entering a university."

Raising her voice, Lin Xue continued: "This requires a lot of funds and a certain amount of government coordination experience. You don't have it, but we all have it."

Chen Zhihe nodded and said, "Mr. Lin makes sense, so what do you think?"

Lin Xue said solemnly: "We want 20%."

This was the result of collective deliberations by the investment department before coming here, and the company's senior management also agreed.

In fact, they have long been paying attention to Baike Company, but Tencent generally does not invest in AB rounds. It does not mean much to them until it reaches a certain scale.

On the one hand, they don't care about risks. The most important thing is that there are too few startups that can compete in the market. Being able to persist to the C round shows that this company does have potential, and this is the time for them to take action.

Baike is unique in the market. At the beginning, they did not like Baike's college model. They felt that the market was too small and the development potential was not great.

It’s not like they haven’t considered operating the Bike Club in cities, but most people feel that the market acceptance won’t be very high.

However, the expansion of Beike is too fast. Among young people, this green and convenient transportation method is very popular.

And Shenzhen City is a place where young people gather. It can be said to be a city of young people.

In addition, green and environmentally friendly travel has become a hot topic recently. As the reform pioneer of Shenzhen City, the management is very likely to accept it.

This made them excited.

In particular, Beike's recent research in the Shenzhen market has confirmed their judgment.

20% is indeed a bit excessive, but they are Tencent.

If they get too little and the returns are too low, there is no need for them to invest at all.

In the final analysis, it is the law of the market that the big fish eats the small fish, and it has nothing to do with morality.

"impossible."

"I don't agree."

Lei Jun and Tang Wan shouted out at the same time, expressing their opposition.

The reason for Lei Jun's objection is very simple. His current shareholding is only 20%. If Tencent also wants 20%, then he will not even be the second largest shareholder.

Since the company's development, he has focused solely on his work, simply because visiting customers is his own business, and Chen Zhihe basically doesn't interfere much.

If he becomes the third largest shareholder, it's hard to say who will have the final say in the company, at least they will definitely not have Chen Zhihe as easy to talk to.

Lei Jun welcomes Tencent's investment, because the company has indeed been burning money since its development.

But they wanted so much, and he couldn't accept it.

Tang Wan's objection was entirely based on Chen Zhihe's perspective.

For investors, it doesn't matter how much Tencent wants.

On the contrary, their arrival can also help Baike develop better, which can be regarded as a huge benefit to her without any harm.

But from Chen Zhihe's perspective, Tang Wan felt that Chen Zhihe would definitely not agree.

Baike is currently developing very well and has promising prospects. Even if there is no Tencent, there are many institutions willing to enter the market. Why should we give so many shares to Tencent?

Concentrating so many shares in the hands of one institution is too risky.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Chen Zhihe laughed out loud.

Chen Zhihe neither agreed nor disagreed with Lin Xue's request for 20% of the shares. Instead, he looked at Lin Xue with interest and said, "If that's the case, your sincerity is not enough."

When Lin Xue heard this, her face was filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Asking for 20% of the shares with just one mouthful shows no sign of sincerity.

Chen Zhihe didn't seem to object, and that was the most important thing.

This shows that this matter needs to be discussed.

Before coming, he felt that this trip would definitely be a tough battle, so he had the scene of overpowering others at the beginning.

Unexpectedly, as the founder, Chen Zhihe didn't seem to object?

However, this doesn't make sense.

Is it possible that there is something wrong with being a guest?

Generally speaking, unless the company has problems, as a founder, who is willing to let his equity be diluted?

The experienced Lin Xue was confused by Chen Zhihe's attitude and didn't know what to say.

Originally, he had made plans to continue persuading him, but before the words came out, the other party refused to accept the move.

This made Lin Xue feel depressed as if she had punched cotton.

Not to mention the uncertain look on Lin Xue's face, when Chen Zhihe said this, Lei Jun, Tang Wan and Wu Sheng all looked at him.

Lei Jun's eyes were the most complicated, with confusion, confusion, and a hint of dissatisfaction.

Tang Wan and Wu Sheng, on the other hand, simply didn't understand why Chen Zhihe said this.

Chen Zhihe shook his head at Lei Jun and patted his shoulder, telling him to calm down.

After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure out what Chen Zhihe was thinking, so Lin Xue simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, the research on visiting guests was comprehensive enough, so there must be no major problems.

So, Lin Xue said: "Of course, if you agree to 20% of the shares, in addition to the comprehensive drainage of Tencent, we can guarantee that in the next round of financing, we will introduce institutional investment, and the amount will not be less than 5 times the amount of this round of financing.

.Of course, this is applicable if you achieve corresponding results in your dream."

Chen Zhihe asked: "Is there an investment letter of intent?"

Lin Xue said with a smile: "Of course."
