She didn't know that Xiao Yun Hai, personally, owned 3 Siheyuan courtyards in Yanjing and 5 luxury mansions in Shanghai.
Just these properties alone, in ten years, would be worth 1 billion yuan.
This investment was just a small amount of money that Xiao Yun Hai saved from his monthly allowance. He bought it casually.
Hearing Liu Shi Shi's determination to become self-sufficient and not be a vase, Xiao Yun Hai stopped trying to persuade her.
Long time no see, it's like the first night together again. The two of them were having a great time.
The next day.
The sleeping Xiao Yun Hai was woken up by a phone call.
“Hello?”
“Your Highness.”
Hearing the voice on the phone, Xiao Yun Hai woke up, rubbed his slightly sore forehead, yawned, and then asked, “What is it?”
“Your Highness, there's a call from the United States. Twitter is planning a new round of financing, asking if we would like to participate.”
“Also, you have a meeting at 3 pm today, with Mr. Liu of Jingdong Company.”
The speaker was Li Ye, the CEO of Oasis Management Company.
He was a citizen of New Han Kingdom, holding a permanent residency permit in Hong Kong, Dragon Country.
Hearing that he had a meeting with Daqiangzi in the afternoon, Xiao Yun Hai patted his head. He had been having too much fun and almost forgot about his business.
“Okay, I got it. You can come to the hotel to pick me up at 1 pm this afternoon.”
“Yes!”
At noon.
The two of them had lunch at the hotel.
“This afternoon, I have some business to take care of and I can't accompany you. You can decide whether you want to go shopping or stay in the hotel.”
Xiao Yun Hai put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said to Liu Shi Shi opposite him.
“Business? What business?”
Liu Shi Shi asked curiously: “When did you start a business? How come I don't know?”
Xiao Yun Hai: “I do investment business, I’ve been doing it for a while.”
“Oh.”
Liu Shi Shi's eyes lit up with understanding. She guessed that the houses Xiao Yun Hai bought must have been earned through investments.
Of course, it was also possible that his family paid for them.
No matter which one it was, it indicated one thing: Xiao Yun Hai's family must be very wealthy.
If it were in the past, she would have been a little worried.
But as her career gradually took off, that worry lessened.
Of course, this was just her personal opinion.
Because she didn't know Xiao Yun Hai's family background.
After finishing lunch with Liu Shi Shi, they went back to their room and rested and enjoyed each other's company for a while. It wasn't until Li Ye called that Xiao Yun Hai finally left his haven of love.
Hotel Lobby.
“Young Master!”
Seeing Xiao Yun Hai walk out of the elevator.
Behind him were two bodyguards.
Li Ye and the man and woman beside him immediately stepped forward, greeting him respectfully.
In order not to reveal his identity, Xiao Yun Hai asked Li Ye to call him Young Master in front of outsiders.
“Hmm~~”
Xiao Yun Hai nodded: “Let's go!”
“Yes~~”
The group of people left the hotel lobby.
Two black Mercedes-Benz S-Class cars were parked at the entrance.
Two drivers, dressed in suits, were standing in front of the car doors.
Seeing Xiao Yun Hai, the drivers immediately bent down and opened the back door.
Xiao Yun Hai got in.
His two bodyguards drove the drivers to the other car.
With a roar, the two Mercedes-Benz sped away from the hotel.
Half an hour later.
The two Mercedes-Benz arrived at Jingdong Company.
Seeing Xiao Yun Hai, Li Ye, and others get out of the car.
Wu Yu, Daqiangzi's secretary, who had already been informed, greeted them with a smile, her smile radiant: “Mr. Xiao, Mr. Li, hello, I'm Mr. Liu's secretary, Wu Yu.”
Seeing Wu Yu, Xiao Yun Hai smiled and extended his hand: “Miss Wu, long time no see. You're even more beautiful.”
Wu Yu, dressed in a OL outfit, blushed slightly but didn't answer Xiao Yun Hai. Instead, she stepped aside and gestured with her hand: “Please come in, Mr. Liu is waiting for you.”
Seeing that Wu Yu didn't answer him, Xiao Yun Hai lost the heart to tease her.
After hearing that Daqiangzi was waiting for him, he nodded and walked into the building.
...
Meeting room.
“Mr. Liu, I'm here to give you money again.”
After resting in the meeting room for a few minutes, Xiao Yun Hai saw Daqiangzi entering and stood up, walking towards him with a smile, shaking his hand.
Daqiangzi was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: “Mr. Xiao, you're so funny!”
Then, he made a gesture to invite him to sit down.
Xiao Yun Hai sat down and put away the smile on his face, looking at Daqiangzi with a serious expression: “I'm not kidding you. I really came here to give you money this time.”
Daqiangzi instantly understood his meaning. After all, they had done business together before.
Back then, Jingdong's Series A funding was invested by Xiao Yun Hai's Oasis Capital.
But he didn't invest in Series B.
It wasn't that Xiao Yun Hai didn't want to invest, but that all his money was in the US stock market at that time.
“What, did Mr. Xiao hear some news?”
Daqiangzi thought that Xiao Yun Hai had heard something from the company's management.
Xiao Yun Hai was stunned for a moment, and he instantly understood that Daqiangzi had misunderstood where he heard the news from.
In fact, he hadn't heard any news at all. He simply had money now and planned to invest in Jingdong again before returning to New Han.
After all, Jingdong was still a very good e-commerce company, with a high return on investment.
Misunderstanding was fine.
There was no need to explain.
Seeing Xiao Yun Hai smile without saying a word, Daqiangzi knew that he had guessed correctly. He started thinking about which person had leaked the news, but he couldn't figure out who it was.
He simply didn't want to think about it anymore.
“To be honest, the company is planning to launch a new round of financing at the end of the year, using the funds to expand its logistics network. If Mr. Xiao wants to invest, you can participate in the investment after the financing begins at the end of the year.”
“End of the year? No, I can't wait that long. I'll be overseas most of the time in the future and rarely come to the mainland.”
“So, Mr. Liu, I'm a straight shooter, I'll take this round of investment at the end of the year.”
Take it all?
Daqiangzi was stunned for a moment, then he laughed: “Mr. Xiao, the company plans to raise 150 million US dollars for Series C financing.”
“150 million US dollars?” Xiao Yun Hai raised an eyebrow: “How much equity are you planning to give up?”
“About 26%.”
Xiao Yun Hai's eyebrows raised slightly. He didn't remember the details of Jingdong's Series C financing. After all, it had been so long.
“So, 200 million US dollars, I want 32% of the equity.”
“That, Mr. Xiao, you're asking for too much equity.”
Daqiangzi shook his head. He actually didn't want Xiao Yun Hai to invest.
The reason was simple.
Although Xiao Yun Hai didn't participate in Series B, he held 25% of the equity in Series A. After dilution, he still held 17.6% of the equity.
If he took all of Series C, and at 32% equity, that would add up to 43.968%, which would be almost as much as his own, the majority shareholder.
