Chapter 1079 Decision on Round C Financing

Shi Lei looked at Wei Qing and knew that Wei Qing had told him this. This was also Wei Qing's strong suggestion yesterday. However, Shi Lei felt that the matter was not easy to solve, so he did not want to upset Dong Chiqing.

He smiled and said, "Brother Infatuated is too ignorant. I believe you, so if you are wrong or not, don't mention it again."

Dong Chiqing said sincerely: "I know it's impossible for you not to have any doubts about this, but it's really because I have reflected on my attitude towards Big Mamba over the past year... Years ago, I asked Big Mamba to have dinner, As a result, the boy pushed back and forth, and I knew something was wrong. Later, the date finally went through. Moreover, Mr. Shi, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I asked another friend to date him, and he didn't even know that I was going too. We met. At that time, I asked him if he had any thoughts. As a result, Big Mamba got very angry at me. I arranged for him to go to Qixuan and then sent him to the Imperial Capital. The situation opened up, and you asked him to come back to Wu Dong. As a result, Qixuan is developing so well, and it's time for Wu Dong to gain more authority based on seniority, but you sent him to the UK again. , asked me what he was. I explained to him for a long time, saying that it is precisely because you and I regard him as a brother that we trust him, no matter where we are placed. Don’t worry. Then, Big Mamba…”

Shi Lei waved his hand and said, "Brother Infatuated, stop talking. I know what Big Mamba will say. Indeed, in the more than a year since Qixuan was founded, we have asked him to do too many things, but we have only thought about him. Too little, ignoring his feelings. I hope his behavior this time is just something he did to show his presence. If there is any problem, we can sit down and talk clearly about what position he wants. , we can all discuss it. I must also admit that I take it for granted. Although Big Mamba has a very good relationship with you, I still have to take his feelings into consideration. I will not contact him directly. You and him. When you contact me, say sorry for me. I will go and talk to him after this time is over."

Dong Chiqing nodded and said: "So, Wei Shao just persuaded me to get my shares back, but I don't think I can do this."

Shi Lei also nodded and said: "Well, it's better not to say this for now. If you do, the relationship between you and him for so many years will be completely broken."

Wei Qing said coldly from the side at this moment: "To be honest, what I'm worried about is not that we are no longer friends. You, Dong Chiqing, have a good relationship with him, and I have a good relationship with him. What I'm worried about is that even if you speak now, what will happen to you?" The shares will not be returned.”

These words made Dong Chiqing and Shi Lei feel shocked.

After being silent for a while, Shi Lei waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things today. We will just talk about drinking, life and ideals, not work. Anyway, let everything go as it happens. I hope things are not what we imagined. So bad.”

Even so, there was an ominous omen buried in the hearts of the three people.

After Song Miaomiao arrived, the wine shop became lively. The famous Shui Ye, even if it is not as good as before, is still a famous sign.

After a drink, they dispersed.

Before leaving, Wei Qing pulled Shi Lei and said, "I'm going back to Shanghai tomorrow by myself. I will follow up on the market response when it comes to financing and won't make it difficult for you."

Shi Lei nodded and said: "Okay."

"Big Mamba, you should be more careful. From what I know about him, something is wrong."

Shi Lei patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come on, go back, I will pay attention."

The next two days were calm and Shi Lei was busy with Sun Yiyi's affairs.

After the basic arrangements were made, Sun Yiyi also replied that the school had finalized the arrangements, and the flight for Sunday had been arranged. She would go to the London School of Economics and Political Science to report next Monday.

Shi Lei quickly asked Li Qianhaocheng to take the time to rent an apartment for Sun Yiyi. It was fully decorated, furnished and equipped with all appliances, and he could move in with his bags. He sent the photos to Sun Yiyi and Sun's mother, and both of them were very satisfied.

Seeing that Sunday was coming, Shi Lei put Sun's mother and Sun Yiyi on the plane to London, and he returned to Qixuan headquarters.

Although it was Sunday, Shi Qiang obviously did not take anything lightly and was still working overtime.

He has sorted out all the materials from this week that are interested in investing in Qixuan's C round.

In terms of valuation, a company in the Imperial Capital has the highest valuation, reaching 16.3 billion. However, this company does not allow any shareholder of Qixuan to cash out before listing, and Shi Lei is likely to have a share swap with Kong Yue's family company, which seriously hinders Shi Lei's further development and is directly eliminated. Shi Lei dropped it.

There are three companies with the most lenient conditions, but their valuations are all 15.6 billion.

Shi Qiang said: "I have communicated with the Wei family in Shanghai, and they said they are willing to invest at a valuation of 16 billion. On their side, the Wei family has five points, and the remaining three companies are following the investment. Two points for each company and one point for each company. The only requirement is to maintain the right to pursue investment in the future.”

Maintaining the right to pursue investment means that they must ensure that their shares will not be diluted in future financings. This is basically the requirement of most investors.

Shi Lei said: "Then there's nothing to hesitate about. Let's just book Wei Qing's house. Anyway, we wanted them to take over from the beginning."

Shi Qiang nodded and said, "Okay, that's settled. I'll contact Wei Qing right away and ask them to send representatives from the four companies to hold a press conference tomorrow morning."

Shi Lei clapped his hands and said, "You should go back early after the arrangements are made. You've been too hard. Today is Sunday and there will be another battle tomorrow. Today you can accompany Xiyue to have a meal and watch a movie."

Shi Qiang stood up tiredly and said, "I just want to have a good sleep now. The war has been intensive these days. Just looking at the report can make me dizzy. By the way, is there any feedback from the Qiannan Kong family?"

"I guess Kong Yue's father is still hesitating. After all, this involves the top secrets of their company. Let's not worry about that. It's better to think about it more. This not only shows their prudence, but also shows that the technology they have is really at the leading level."

Shi Qiang sent Shi Lei out of the company. Shi Lei called Bai Kaishui in the car.

Bai Kaishui said that he and Kong Yue are now in Chuncheng. Shi Lei's conditions have troubled Kong Yue's father Kong Fandong, and there has been no clear decision yet.

"However, I think he has the intention to cooperate. In the past two days, I also learned about the Kong family's company. They are short of money. If their technology had not been kept secret from everyone, even me, I would have wanted my father to invest tens of millions in them, at least to help them solve their urgent needs."

Shi Lei laughed and said, "Has your relationship with Kong Yue developed to this point now?"

Bai Kaishui smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "If you have reached an agreement with this side, tell me the general situation, and I will also let my father talk to their family to see if we can get a share."

Shi Lei agreed, "Okay, then you should come back when it's almost time, and bring Kong Yue with you. You have already met your parents, and it would be unreasonable not to bring her to meet your parents."
