Chapter 316 The 20-year-old founder

Just when Xu Xing appeared on the stage, there was an uproar in the audience and the flashlights flashed one after another. After Xu Xing took his seat.

He Suifeng, who was sitting next to Pei Qinglan, opened his mouth slightly and looked intently at Xu Xing, who was sitting opposite.

He was speechless for a moment, only two words echoed in his mind.

young!

This is really too young.

So much so that his face even gave people the illusion of still being childish.

The reporters in the audience also started whispering, creating quite a stir.

"Is that Mr. Xu?"

"Is Mr. Xu of Qunxing too young?"

"Did you make a mistake? Could it be that in order to train his son, Mr. Xu asked his son to come and participate in the signing of the agreement?"

"Son, my son is fair enough."

"Real or false? What if that is Mr. Xu?"

"You don't even look at your face! I feel like I'm not even thirty years old! You, the founder of Stars, are telling me that you're under thirty? That's funny!"

"Could he be the type who looks young? In fact, it's not impossible that his real age is in his thirties or forties."

"Quiet, please be quiet for a moment." The person in charge of this agreement at Bizhan said into the microphone, then paused briefly, and when the whole place quieted down, he began to enter the process.

"Today, I am very grateful to the reporters and friends present, as well as friends from major investment institutions, who can take time out of their busy schedules to participate in the signing ceremony of the Series A financing plan proposed by Bizhan and led by Greenwood Capital."

"The first person sitting on my left is Mr. Pei Qinglan from Shenglan International."

Pei Qinglan stood up, looked down the stage, nodded slightly, and then sat down.

"The second in line is Mr. He Suifeng from Greenwood Capital."

He Suifeng slowed down for a moment, and was still in deep doubt about "how old is Mr. Xu of the Stars?" When he realized that the host called his name, a second or two had passed.

He stood up, nodded towards the audience, and then immediately sat down, looking closely at Xu Xing opposite, waiting for the host's announcement.

"The first person sitting on my right is the person in charge of our Beep station, Chen Rui, Mr. Chen."

Chen Rui stood up and nodded to greet everyone present.

The next second, everyone's realization flickered on Chen Rui's body, and then returned to Xu Xing's body again, listening with nervous excitement.

After the host finished speaking, he paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and slowly introduced: "The person below is Mr. Xu Xing from Qunxing Investment."

"Welcome everyone."

Wow——

The crowd was noisy again.

As Xu Xing stood up and nodded calmly, many people finally couldn't hold back the expressions of shock on their faces. After confirming the answer in their hearts, their hearts suddenly felt shocked.

Big news!

Many reporters are aware of this.

Even if Mr. Xu only looks like a young man in his twenties because of his tender face, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, it doesn’t stop them from choosing an eye-catching title like “Shocked! The founder of Stars Company is under thirty years old!?”

What's more, what if it's true?

There was a burst of excitement among the reporters, and many people wanted to sign this financing agreement quickly, so as not to occupy their time to ask questions.

"Mr. Pei, I was wrong." He Suifeng nodded to Xu Xing, who had just sat down opposite, as a greeting, and then said to Pei Qinglan, "You have known Mr. Xu before, do you know how old he is this year?"

"Teacher He, you might as well take a guess." Pei Qinglan smiled and said calmly.

Yan Chijue sat aside, listening to their conversation, and couldn't explain how they felt.

There's a weird sense of pride.

Although he is already an estranged person in terms of relationship, when he hears other people's admiration for him, he can still make himself feel a little bit proud.

This is the boy she likes, so good that so many people are amazed by him.

But then I thought of other things, and my originally bright eyes dimmed.

Occasionally, I secretly glanced at Xu Xing, who was sitting opposite, but their eyes never met again.

Yan Chijuan felt both regretful and fortunate at the same time, with complicated emotions mixed in his heart.

The agreement signing ceremony will naturally not be suspended because of her emotions.

After introducing today's protagonists, the host entered the follow-up process, including distributing the contract, handing it over to the four parties for final review, and briefly explained the scale of this financing and some important details to reporters.

Of course, the specific content of the contract is not particularly involved, but the amount of financing and the proportion of shares involved in the project will of course be informed to the media as part of the publicity.

After all, the Series A financing amounted to US$30 million for 15% of the shares, which is quite eye-catching both at home and abroad.

Because when it comes to financing, it doesn’t mean that the earlier you raise money, the better.

For example, Bizhan’s financing this time has valued Bizhan at US$200 million, which is more than one billion yuan.

If the subsequent development of Bizhan cannot maintain growth, or the growth expectations cannot meet external expectations, it will affect subsequent valuations.

Because of the high starting point of the high valuation of Series A financing, it can easily affect subsequent financing plans.

After all, no one would go out of their way to invest in a company whose valuation has fallen.

However, strictly speaking, the early acquisition of Aizhan by Xuhang, the merger of Bizhan and Aizhan, and the continued operation of Bizhan were similar to the effect of the A round.

It's just that the name and nature are different.

The A round's ability to achieve such a high valuation is inseparable from the stars behind Bizhan.

For companies like Bizhan, there are many investment institutions that are very covetous of WeChat, and naturally they are eager to join in and give away money.

If you can't lick WeChat, then you can always lick WeChat, right?

As a result, not only Bizhan, but also Qunxing’s E-Me takeaways, Didi Taxi, and the recently popular Douyu Live Broadcast have become hot spots in the capital market.

This time, He Suifeng also spent a lot of effort to win this project from many competitors.

20 million U.S. dollars in exchange for 10% of Bizhan's shares will definitely not be a loss in the long run.

And Bizhan has received US$30 million in financing, and some subsequent development plans can be carried out smoothly and boldly.

You can't do anything without money.

Just purchasing the rights to a drama is a huge expense.

Everything costs money.

Fortunately, in addition to the income from this financing itself, Bizhan also has its own cash cow.

"Million King Arthur" has brought at least 30 million in revenue to Bizhan from its launch to now, which shows how powerful the two-dimensional krypton guy is.

Although the subsequent turnover may not be able to maintain this level, even if it is only tens of millions of income a month, it is not easy.

And if it weren't for the success of "Millions of King Arthur", the original 30 million U.S. dollars in financing this time, the shares subscribed might not be 15%, but 20%.

After all this time, the difference is quite eye-watering.

"If you have no objection to the content of the contract, please sign it in quadruplicate."

The host said.

The contract is the result of a long period of intense debate and polishing. The best thing to do when you get there is to see if the contract has been subtracted or if any details have been secretly modified.

After confirming that it was correct, the four people picked up the pens, signed on them, and then exchanged contracts with each other, completing the signatures on all four contracts.

After the signing was completed, the sound of paper fireworks rang out from both sides of the living room.

Xu Xing and the other two stood up with the contract in hand and came to the middle position to take a group photo.

After the financing agreement was officially signed, the four of them took a group photo and sat down again before officially entering the reporter's Q&A session.

"Next, we will set aside half an hour to an hour to answer some questions that journalists are concerned about."

The host said in advance, "Please focus your questions on the site itself and do not ask other irrelevant questions."

This is actually very obvious.

But this does not prevent journalists from using their clever little minds.

"Here, the reporter friend in the blue suit." The host asked a male reporter who raised his hand.

The staff member next to me handed over the microphone.

The rather elegant male reporter wearing glasses stood up and immediately looked at Xu Xing impatiently. After considering his words, he asked: "I would like to ask Mr. Xu, given your current age of early thirties, is it right?"

How do you make the decision to invest in Bizhan?”

This is a very tricky question to ask.

It’s not that the question itself is difficult to answer, but that the reporter presupposed Xu Xing’s age.

If Xu Xing does not deny it and answers the question directly, it means that he acquiesces to the age mentioned by the reporter and admits that he is indeed in his thirties.

If what the reporter said was wrong, Xu Xing would definitely explain it.

However, the questions asked by the reporter are indeed related to Bizhan and do not fall into the category of "other irrelevant questions".

The host glanced at Chen Rui and Xu Xing, wanting to ask if this was possible.

Xu Xing didn't mind this little cleverness. He picked up the microphone in front of him, took the question and said, "I know what you are concerned about. In order not to affect subsequent inquiries, I will explain it briefly."

"I am Xu Xing, male, 20 years old, studying computer science at Minhang University. I just finished my freshman year this year and will be my sophomore year in the second half of the year. I am the founder of Tianshu Game Studio and the boss of Qunxing Company."

"Friends from the reporters behind me should stop asking more questions and focus on the problems of Bip Station itself."

After the words fell, the whole living room was filled with the lingering sound of Xu Xing, and then fell into silence.

Almost everyone present fell into confusion and contemplation for a moment, wondering if there was something wrong with their ears.

To be honest, when Xu Xing first appeared in the living room, everyone present was already a little confused.

Although Mr. Ma from Alibaba previously said in an interview that Mr. Xu from Qunxing was very young and was willing to invite Mr. Xu to join Alibaba.

But at that time, most people guessed that Xu Xing was probably a middle-aged man in his forties, just one round younger than Ma Yun.

It wasn't until they met Xu Xing this time that everyone realized what Mr. Ma meant by being young.

Looking at his face, reporters guessed that someone in his thirties would be considered conservative.

Or at least twenty-seven-eight, right?

He is more than 20 years younger than Mr. Ma of Alibaba. It is no wonder that Mr. Ma said that he is willing to invite Xu Xing to join Alibaba as a partner. It may even be possible to hand over Alibaba to Xu Xing after he retires in the future.

Such a young unicorn founder holds a powerful weapon like WeChat and controls the most promising mobile game company in China.

It either invests in or operates companies in various related fields, and its business involves video websites, taxi-hailing software, food delivery platforms, live broadcast platforms, etc.

Now more than a year has passed, Qunxing Company seems to have developed a high-spirited upward trend.

And the prototype of the ecological chain has begun to take shape.

It is such a nascent enterprise, full of vitality and huge potential.

Its founder is still a young man.

This is really a terrible thing.

Especially this young man, he is not a young man in the ordinary sense.

After all, to be honest, in the field of entrepreneurs, even those in their thirties and forties can be called young people.

Lao Ma is now five years old this year. Among all the big guys, he can be called a young man.

Not to mention that Xu Xing is only twenty years old... This is a scary pace!

Those who are working on it, whether reporters or other investment institutions who come to support Wang's show, can't help but think back to the prosperous years when they were twenty years old.

Then I couldn't help but shed tears.

In such a comparison, my twenty-year-old life was like a dog's life.

He Suifeng on the stage was also surprised at this moment, looking a little dazed and unable to recover.

He is 59 years old this year and will soon be 60. Pei Qinglan next to him is also 48 this year. When he returned to China to work at Greenwood Capital, he was Pei Qinglan's boss.

It can be said that he took Pei Qinglan with him and helped her establish a firm foothold in the country.

This is why Pei Qinglan calls him Teacher He, even if he calls him Uncle Sheng, there is nothing wrong with him.

With such a comparison, Xu Xing can call him grandpa.

"It's true that a hero comes from a boy..."

He Suifeng didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh like this. Then he glanced at Pei Qinglan and saw her looking at the faces of the people around her with great interest, as if she was tasting a delicious dish.

"It's really a bad idea of ​​you to ask me to guess Mr. Xu's age...is this something anyone can guess?"

Pei Qinglan covered her mouth and chuckled: "It's interesting, isn't it? Teacher He, it's rare to see such an expression on your face."

He Suifeng shook his head and laughed.

Xu Xing, who was on the opposite side, continued to say unhurriedly after the commotion in the audience: "Back to this reporter's question."

"Bizhan is a video website that focuses on the two-dimensional style, and I am a young man who likes to watch anime. I am very aware of the development trend of the second dimension in our group."

"Now we have just entered the 4G era. With the further popularization of smartphones, more young people can access the Internet through mobile phones. I believe that the development potential of Bizhan will be huge in the future."

"Only those who can seize young people can seize the future."

"Bizhan is not a short-sighted company. Betting on young people is betting on the development of young people in the future."

"I am very confident in my peers, and naturally I am also very confident in Bizhan."

Diagonally opposite.

Seeing Xu Xing talking eloquently, Yan Chijiu pursed his lips and silently admired his appearance under the spotlight.

So good.
