Chapter 62 A contract worth 10 billion

It's the last week before the Spring Festival.

Chen Heyu's Shanhai Investment Company was initially established, and a senior investment bank manager, Zhou Xiaoyu, was hired through headhunting channels.

Born in 1981 with a doctorate in business administration, this 31-year-old has worked his way up from a trainee accountant to a financial director, and is proficient in financial and taxation management. His latest resume is as a senior investment director at a cross-border company on Hong Kong Island.

The country has been developing rapidly in the past few years, and he is a native of Shanghai. He wanted to return to his roots. As soon as he returned to Shanghai, he was targeted by a headhunter, and then joined Shanhai Investment.

If Chen Heyu knew more about investment banks in his previous life, he would know that Zhou Xiaoyu will still be the youngest top-level young investor in China in the future.

"Mr. Chen, the company you are talking about seems to have just been established."

On the plane to Yancheng, Zhou Xiaoyu, who was sitting next to him, hesitated for a while and couldn't help but remind him.

How much investment value does a company that has not yet launched actual business have?

"I understand where you're coming from, but I really value the potential of this company, or their founders."

Chen Heyu put down the magazine and explained to Zhou Xiaoyu.

"This company will focus on it. If there is any subsequent financing plan, we, Shanhai, will also participate."

"By the way, there is also a game start-up company. The founder should be a student of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Mr. Zhou can get to know it first and try his best to qualify for the angel round."

Chen Heyu added that when he thinks of this awesome game company, of course he cannot miss it.

"Okay, I'll write it down."

Zhou Xiaoyu nodded and agreed. Since it was a company that his boss was interested in, he would invest in it.

Two and a half hours later, the plane landed at Yancheng Airport.

Chen Heyu came to this city for the first time in two lifetimes and observed the scenery outside the window with great interest.

Not long after, the taxi stopped in front of a private house on Zhichun Road.

"Mr. Chen, are you sure this is the address? Is it just the same name?"

After Zhou Xiaoyu got off the car, he looked at the dilapidated private house in front of him. He couldn't believe that Shanhai Investment's first project was here?

"Mr. Chen, you didn't say anything when you arrived so that I could pick you up."

At this moment, the door of the private house opened, and a thin man with glasses walked out, with a plaid shirt exposed at the collar.

"Mr. Zhang, you're welcome. This is Mr. Zhou from our Shanhai Investment. Mr. Zhou Xiaoyu, let's get to know each other. This is the company's legal affairs officer."

Chen Heyu replied with a smile, and then introduced to the two people around him.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, welcome."

Zhang Yiming said with a smile, and then led the way, and together they walked into this small room where dreams started.

There were more than a dozen people sitting in the room, busy typing on the keyboard, and most of them were writing code.

"It made you two laugh. The company has just been established and the environment is indeed a bit shabby."

Zhang Yiming was a little embarrassed. In order to start Douyin, after years of saving money, renting this private house, and purchasing computer equipment, there was very little left.

Therefore, he is still a little worried, fearing that this crude environment will scare investors away.

"Mr. Zhang, you're welcome. Over in the beautiful country, a great company can be born in a garage. You are already ahead of the curve."

Chen Heyu comforted.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. I am very confident in my products. Douyin's first product is currently under development."

"We internally define this product as an information APP, and its name is Tiantian Toutiao..."

Zhang Yiming took the three of them to visit the office. It was inevitable that they were a little embarrassed when they passed by the kitchen, so they cheered up and talked about the products, slowly becoming more confident.

Chen Heyu saw this and nodded in his heart. It seems that a successful person does not entirely rely on the dividends of the times.

"Sorry, Mr. Zhang, let me interrupt. Information apps are not uncommon. Leaving aside the three major portals, even Penguin is on this track. Why does Douyin win the market?"

Zhou Xiaoyu asked directly, as an investment director, you need to fully understand the advantages of investment projects.

"Tiantian Toutiao will not set up an editorial team, so there will be no manual intervention in the content, and no content production. It will rely entirely on algorithm learning for personalized recommendations and distribution..."

Zhang Yiming slowly explained and clearly demonstrated the advantages of this product. Zhou Xiaoyu nodded frequently, obviously a little moved.

"No wonder Mr. Chen insists on investing in this company. The products are indeed of epoch-making significance."

Zhou Xiaoyu thought to himself, his solemn expression relaxed, and he listened more patiently.

After a few people finished chatting, it was already past 12 noon. Chen Heyu felt the protest in his belly and immediately said with a smile: "How about everyone eating first? We will discuss the details in the afternoon."

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhou, I will make arrangements at noon."

Zhang Yiming apologized quickly. He was so busy chatting that he forgot about the meal for a while. As a host, it was a bit rude.

Walking out of the gate and heading south for 500 meters, you come to an exquisite Cantonese restaurant. Judging from the decoration of the exterior wall, it looks more like a private chef.

A group of four ordered eight dishes: steamed deep-sea grouper with brocade dragon, pan-fried beef fillet with yam, soft-boiled abalone, braised pork with rice wine, crispy squab, etc.

"Mr. Zhang, stop drinking. We have to talk about work in the afternoon."

Chen Heyu was a little amused when he saw the pain in his heart. He remembered that someone later dug out Zhang Yiming's blog post from ten years ago and wanted to change his mobile phone, but was reluctant to do so.

The people who eat melons can't help but sigh, it turns out that the big boss has also had the trouble of having no money.

After an hour of eating, everyone returned to Douyin's office and signed an investment agreement worth tens of billions of dollars on a simple square table.

Shanhai Investment exchanged 8 million in cash for 15% of Douyin's equity and obtained Douyin's priority financing rights.

As long as Shanhai follows up on each round of Douyin's financing plan, eight years later, the value contained in this agreement will be enough for Chen Heyu to live in for the rest of his life.

Raise a top all-star basketball team for 100 years!

Make 100 sci-fi movies like "The Wandering Earth"!

Buy the world’s largest civil aviation passenger aircraft, 60 of them!

Chen Heyu smiled with satisfaction and glanced at Zhou Xiaoyu. Without his lobbying, Zhang Yiming would not agree to increase the equity transfer ratio from 10% to 15%.

"Mr. Zhang, happy cooperation!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your support. I will definitely not let you lose money."

Zhang Yiming chuckled. With this money, he can move into a more spacious and comfortable office building, otherwise it will be difficult to recruit.

Anyone who sees a private house with no company will turn around and run away!

"I believe it."

Chen Heyu responded, declined the dinner invitation, took Zhou Xiaoyu and the legal affairs officer, and got on the plane back to Shanghai.

Along the way, the smile on his lips never stopped.

"..."

When Zhou Xiaoyu saw his boss looking like he was making a lot of money, he twitched his mouth and thought to himself, he should start his work immediately, otherwise the company would collapse sooner or later if his boss messed around like this.

"E-commerce, tourism, local life services, real estate... are all popular areas. Make a plan when you return."

Zhou Xiaoyu was planning in his mind, trying to save this small start-up company and show off his abilities and ambitions.

Gentlemen, I am here again to ask for recommendation votes. Thank you~~ I wish you handsome guys to have fun every day and become rich as soon as possible.
