Chapter 9 Rising slope capital!
Chapter 9 The famous Slope Capital!
5.4 million U.S. dollars, equivalent to 35 million yuan based on the exchange rate in 2014. Slope Capital has initially gained fame in Puhai’s investment circle.
In any case, the fact that an investment company can spend 35 million in real money to invest in Internet companies already shows that Slope Capital has strong funds.
And the most important thing is that Zheng Wentong was able to persuade Chen Rui and Xu Yi to participate in the B-round financing of station B and squeeze out the share of Venus Venture Capital, which demonstrated the background and capabilities of Slope Capital.
After the National Day, Slope Capital finally welcomed the head of the legal department, Meng Qian, a senior who was an acquaintance of Zheng Wentong and was preparing for the civil service exam at home.
Meng Qian felt that she had been deceived. Aunt Zheng Wentong clearly introduced her husband to her, so why did she suddenly become the boss?
Meng Qian is a 2007 law school student at Zhongchu University of Finance and Law, majoring in civil and commercial law. Law itself is the trump card of the University of Finance and Economics, and civil and commercial law is the trump card among trump cards.
After graduation, they usually work as interns at large law firms and then become full-time lawyers.
If Meng Qian had stayed at Yanjing Infront Law Firm, been promoted to partner, and then became a senior partner, her annual salary would have been several million.
Zheng Wentong is very generous. Meng Qian’s salary during her internship was RMB 16,000 per month, and her monthly salary increased to RMB 20,000 when she became a full-time employee. If she succeeds in the public examination, Slope Capital can help her resign without embarrassment to her.
As a result, when Meng Qian took up her post after the holiday, she found that her first case was to review the investment contract agreement signed between Slope Capital (China) Co., Ltd. and Puhai Huandian Information Technology Co., Ltd.
She was really stressed out when she saw the investment amount of 5.4 million US dollars and 35 million yuan in the agreement.
Just in case, she double-checked every clause and reviewed it carefully to prevent harm to the company's interests.
After Bilibili and Slope Capital finalized their cooperation and the two companies signed the investment contract, Zheng Wentong and Chen Rui, the newly appointed chairman of Bilibili, shook hands happily in front of the camera.
The contract was actually signed in advance, and attending the signing agreement now was just to increase exposure. The local news media in Puhai City attended the signing agreement on the afternoon of the 14th, and Zheng Wentong, a capital tycoon, also officially made his first appearance on social media.
Meng Qian, who was sitting in the audience, looked at Xu Yi, who was being interviewed. He was a young man in 1989, wearing black-rimmed glasses, slightly chubby, and a well-known otaku.
However, if based on the valuation of Station B’s Series B financing and the shares held by Xu Yi, this 25-year-old young man is already worth over 100 million.
For this signing ceremony, Slope Capital came to Zheng Wentong, Yao Yutong, Meng Qian and Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan consciously acted as the driver, Yao Yutong sat in the passenger seat, and Meng Qian and Zheng Wentong sat in the back seat.
"From the outside, Xu Yi really doesn't look like a billionaire." Meng Qian expressed her emotion.
"Oh, then tell me what a billionaire should be?" Zheng Wentong became interested.
"Be like our Mr. Zheng, drive a Panamera, wear a Patek Philippe, and be surrounded by beautiful women." Jiang Nan joked with the people in the car.
Yao Yutong also participated in the chat, "Don't mention it. Today, Li Ni, the vice president of station B, asked Jiang Nan whether Mr. Zheng has higher requirements for good looks when recruiting people?"
Hearing these words, the three beauties in the car couldn't stop laughing.
Now that the contract has been signed, Zheng Wentong is not afraid of something happening later, so he shares a piece of gossip with them.
"This Li Ni is amazing. She has a boyfriend that she has been dating for several years. He is also an UP host at Station B. He is ten years younger than her, and they are already talking about getting married."
When Meng Qian heard that, the love between brother and sister was the most exciting, "Hey, when Mr. Li fell in love, his boyfriend was not yet an adult, so he was just eating young grass."
"That's right, Mr. Li has solved the equation, but his boyfriend is still a cell." Yao Yutong made a perfect last-ditch attack.
"Okay, okay, the gossip is over. Remember to keep everything that happened in the car a secret today." Zheng Wentong warned.
"After all, I have to come to Station B for meetings every month, and I always look up and see Vice President Li."
"This investment is successful. Everyone has worked hard. We will give you bonus when your salary is paid next month. Everyone has a share!" Zheng Wentong announced the good news.
"Thank you boss, I love you!" Jiang Nan knew what was going on.
As employee No. 002 of Slope Capital, when she first joined Slope Capital, she thought this was a sugar-coated shell for Zheng Wentong to pursue her.
At that time, Jiang Nan had already made plans to eat the sugar coating and hit it back with cannonballs. You offered me a high salary, and I happily accepted it, but if you expect something to happen between you and me, I'm sorry, there's no way.
But Jiang Nan found that she was overthinking it. Zheng Wentong only regarded her as a colleague and had no intention of starting an office romance. This made her feel relieved and a little disappointed.
After Yao Yutong, Xu Ru, and Meng Qian joined the company, Jiang Nan adjusted her mentality and got along with her boss Zheng Wentong like a spring breeze.
When buying a Mercedes-Benz S400L in September, Yao Yutong still sought out Liao Yu's connections because she had previously worked at Mercedes-Benz 4S and had also brought a lot of sales to her former colleagues.
Seeing Zheng Wentong buying a Porsche Panamera and a Mercedes-Benz S400L, Liao Yu couldn't help but sigh at Zheng Wentong's wealth.
She joked with Yao Yutong, saying that Yao Yutong and Mr. Zheng were both handsome and wealthy, and they were a perfect match. They might as well work hard and transform from financial managers to company bosses.
Yao Yutong quickly refused, saying that she didn't want to lose her job and shouldn't make such a joke.
Not only Jiang Nan, but also Meng Qian. After handling this investment case, Meng Qian gave up the idea of dating Zheng Wentong.
During the National Day, Zheng Wentong invited Meng Qian to come to Puhai to play and relax.
She originally thought she was going on a date with her blind date, so she was a little hesitant, but her mother supported her and said that Zheng Wentong was busy with his career, so it would be nice to meet him over there.
When she arrived in Puhai, Zheng Wentong, as the host, was very enthusiastic and helped her book a hotel. He drove her around in his Porsche during the day and sent her to the hotel in the evening. After the two had dinner, he went back.
Meng Qian dresses herself up beautifully every day, wearing different styles of skirts. This kind of young girl really makes Zheng Wentong's eyes shine and she praises her endlessly.
As a result, on the last day of the holiday, Zheng Wentong said he would take her to visit the company and then invited her to join Slope Capital.
The salary conditions offered by Slope Capital are indeed generous. For example, for those seniors who are working hard for partner qualifications in law firms, her starting point is already much higher than that of most law graduates.
The National Day holiday has just ended, and the Porsche Panamera parked downstairs of the company has been replaced with a local license plate, Pu E90128.
Meng Qian asked what the meaning of this string of numbers was, whether it was in memory of her ex-girlfriend, and Zheng Wentong answered that it was his birthday.
Sister Xu Ru from the investment department is a local and relatively experienced. She said that it would cost at least two to three hundred thousand to get this license plate.
Meng Qian was shocked because someone else could pay her a year's salary just by buying a piece of iron sheet. Not to mention Zheng Wentong's Patek Philippe worth hundreds of thousands.
Moreover, Zheng Wentong also has more than one luxury watch, one in rose gold and one in steel case, and he wears two watches interchangeably.
She actually doubted that Zheng Wentong was really holding company shares on behalf of overseas funds?
However, Zheng Wentong's decision to invest 35 million in Station B was made by himself without consulting anyone.
Meng Qian had a preliminary understanding of Zheng Wentong's family background from her mother. Her father, Zheng Xingjian, ran a pawn shop.
My mother, Zhou Yuling, and my aunt Zheng Wentong jointly opened a store in the provincial capital. Even if both parents were in business, their wealth would only be a few million. How could they spend 35 million to let their son invest randomly?
Meng Qian actually had a guess. She determined that Zheng Wentong himself was richer than his parents. He drove a two million Porsche and wore a hundreds of thousands Nautilus. This was not the second generation of rich people, but the first generation of rich people!
If Zheng Wentong is really just the general manager of the company with an annual salary of 500,000, then Meng Qian still wants to work hard. After all, she does have a good impression of Zheng Wentong, otherwise she would not agree to travel to Puhai.
The two got along and fell in love over time. After falling in love, it would be good to buy a house in Puhai and get married.
But if the company Slope Capital is owned by Zheng Wentong alone, then even if Zheng Wentong is not a billionaire, his personal net worth is almost the same as that of Xu Yi.
Meng Qian was very curious. She didn't know the history of Zheng Wentong's fortune. She always felt that Zheng Wentong's first fortune must be full of legend. She probably never dreamed that Mr. Zheng's first pot of gold was actually buying football lottery tickets in Europe and winning 105 million.
, returned to China and founded Slope Capital.
With the successful example of Station B, Zheng Wentong's reception was obviously improved a lot when he visited Xiaohongshu and Himalayas.
In addition to these two companies, Zheng Wentong also led the team to visit Puhai and visited two live broadcast websites, Huya Live and Douyu Live.
Huya Live has launched 1080P high-definition live broadcast, and its technical advantages are obviously ahead of Douyu. Zheng Wentong secretly thought, should he poach a few anchors from these two live broadcast platforms and jump to Station B?
However, these big anchors have a lot of shady materials. If they pay a sky-high signing fee and are instantly exposed by a competing platform, the gain will outweigh the loss.
The water of live streaming is too deep, and Penguin, a giant company, is eyeing these live streaming platforms. Even if you participate, it will only be a part of the soup, which is not interesting.
Himalaya must be invested, but it still needs time. Xiaohongshu can invest or not. The next investment target of Slope Capital is actually MiHoYo.
It is also the developer of the well-known mobile game "Genshin Impact". Countless VCs have failed in this game company.
So far, MiHoYo has only completed one angel investment, and introduced Song Tao, the only investor.
This man invested 1 million in MiHoYo. As a result, this share will be worth more than 20 billion in 2021, which is called a myth in the investment community.
However, the most difficult period for miHoYo has passed. The sales of "Honkai Impact 2", which was released in 2012, are good, and annual sales of over 100 million are not a problem. This is a tough game, and it is not that easy to get.
Let me give you a preview, the heroine of this book will appear tomorrow.
