The eager investors finally waited for the signal from Li Jie, and all major VCs swarmed in. Sequoia Capital, IDG, Matrix Partners China, Enterprise Win-Win Fund, and Sands Venture Capital gathered together.
not easy!
It’s really not easy!
I’ve been waiting for so long, and finally I’m waiting for you!
In the conference room, the representatives of major VCs looked at each other, and they all saw the difficulty and happiness in each other's eyes.
It is indeed a blessing to be able to sit in the conference room of Yingcai.com today.
Because, during this period, there were at least 10 or 20 VCs who came to Yingcai.com, but today there were only 5 VCs.
The selected person feels as if he has won the lottery.
Yingcai.com has developed so rapidly during this period!
Entering the game at this time is equivalent to picking up for nothing!
I don’t know how many people are eyeing this piece of fat!
The reason why Li Jie only invited these venture capital firms was not chosen randomly. Among them, Sequoia, Matrix Partners, and IDG are the top venture capital institutions in China. The industry is accustomed to calling them the "Big Three".
Companies that are a little more ambitious will pay more attention to the institution itself when financing, rather than looking at money.
Although money is good, there are many resources that cannot be bought with money. Backed by top investment institutions, the hidden benefits are far more important than a little money.
In addition to the traditional "Big Three", Penguin Mutual Fund and Sands Venture Capital are also not simple. The former is backed by Penguin and has a traffic entrance that other companies cannot match.
The latter is a popular player in the venture capital circle, and getting investment from it is a kind of recognition.
Of course, Li Jie doesn't really need this kind of recognition. He called Sands Venture Capital purely as a mascot.
The negotiation process went smoothly, with Li Jie leading the entire process, and the five major VCs had almost no say.
After all, the development momentum of Yingcai.com is so good, do you think it is expensive?
OK!
Turn left when you go out, walk slowly and don’t wait!
If you don’t vote, there are many people who want to vote!
After some "peaceful and friendly" negotiations, Yingcai.com skipped the seed round and angel round and directly launched Series A financing.
Series A financing was US$15 million, selling 10% of the equity, with a valuation of US$900 million!
In fact, although the valuation of more than 900 million exceeds the highest price that major VCs have in mind, it does not exceed too much and is still within the range they can accept.
About an hour later, the negotiations in the conference room gradually came to an end. Everything that needed to be finalized was finalized, leaving only the signing.
…………
A week later, Li Jie officially signed investment agreements with five major institutions.
Soon, the news spread throughout the Internet circle, and various media began to inquire about the detailed information.
The more rigorous media will first issue an announcement and wait until detailed information is obtained before issuing a formal press release, while those media that like to attract attention will not care so much and just piece together a report.
…………
[Shocked! Yingcai.com completed tens of millions of US dollars in financing, and Penguin participated in the investment! 】
…………
[Breaking news! Yingcai.com has just completed Series A financing, with participation from Sequoia, IDG, and Matrix Partners!]
…………
[Yingcai.com, the first vertical recruitment website, received US$15 million in Series A financing. This round was led by Penguin, with IDG, Sequoia, Matrix Partners, and Sands Venture Capital also participating!]
…………
As soon as the media reported it, Yingcai.com immediately became popular in the industry. Anyone who knows the industry knows that if it can be invested by these institutions at the same time, this company is definitely a powerful Klass-level company!
Then Li Jie also became popular, and everyone was curious, who is this outstanding person who jumped out of the cracks in the rocks?
Why can't I find any previous resume?
As the funds gradually arrived, the bullets in Yingcai.com's hands were replenished, and a new round of public opinion offensive was launched again.
At the same time, the company's option incentive plan was officially launched, and Deren became a sea of joy again. Everyone's daily work status was like a clockwork machine, continuing to maintain a fast pace.
Hangzhou.
Special offer hunting division.
Yuan Kun has been in a very bad mood recently. As soon as the assistant entered the office, he felt that the atmosphere was not right. The boss's face was clouded, and the air was filled with a depressing atmosphere.
When she thought about what she was going to report next, the assistant couldn't help but secretly groan in her heart. She knew that this news would definitely touch the sensitive nerves of her boss, and it might even affect Chi Yu.
However, if you conceal it and fail to report it, and your boss finds out about it later, the consequences will be even more serious.
The assistant took a deep breath and was fully prepared to be scolded before speaking.
"Mr. Yuan."
Yuan Kun didn't even raise his head and made a tone through his nose.
"Um?"
"That...that, there is something wrong with Lehaha's contract."
Yuan Kun suddenly raised his head when he heard this, looked at the assistant with sharp eyes, and said word by word.
"What did you say?"
The cold tone made the assistant tremble, and he repeated it in a low voice.
"There is something wrong with Lehaha's contract. Compared with last year, the business scope has shrunk a lot, by about 30%, and the order amount has also dropped by 30%."
Click!
Yuan Kunzhong's pen broke. This news made him release all the anger he had accumulated recently!
No need to ask!
It must be Deren who steals this order!
He received news a few days ago that Lehaha's CFO has become very close to Deren recently and intends to expand the scale of cooperation with Deren.
Sure enough, just a few days later, the news was confirmed!
This is not the first time Deren has grabbed business!
The high-end headhunting market is so big. If you rob it, my business will be reduced. Yuan Kun did some calculations in his mind. In half a year, the business taken away by Deren added up. The Hangzhou branch of Preferential Hunting lost at least 300 million yuan in the same period.
% profit.
As soon as he thought of this, the anger in Yuan Kun's heart grew stronger and stronger, and the veins on his forehead were exposed!
That's too much!
If it weren't for the mysterious 'Zheng Qiudong', how could Yuan Kun wait until now?
A counterattack is long overdue!
However, his step-by-step concessions resulted in the other party's advancement!
In this case, if you can't bear it anymore, there is no need to bear it anymore!
If the tiger doesn't show off its power, you think I'm a sick cat!
If this continues, I don’t know how much business will be taken away. Yuan Kun is the senior partner of Special Offer Hunting. The revenue of the Hangzhou branch is closely related to his income. If the company’s revenue decreases, his income will also decrease.
At this point, Yuan Kun decided to fight back!
Although he has been restraining himself from confronting Deren, his lack of action does not mean that he has no ideas.
As early as when his first business was robbed, Yuan Kun began to plan a counterattack in his mind.
Now that he decided to fight back, Yuan Kun stopped procrastinating and directly used his trump card.
