Yu Wenfei understood, it turned out that Shen Nanpeng's purpose was WeChat!
Sure enough, good eyesight!
It is no loss that later generations are known as the "Godfather of Investment", and the media dubbed "China Investment No. 1" and "Forbes World's Best Venture Capitalist" and other titles.
"Senior Shen, the valuation of WeChat is not low..." Yu Wenfei said meaningfully.
He doubted whether Shen Nanpeng would be able to spend so much money. Wechat was valued at 50 billion US dollars, even if it was 5000% of the shares, it would cost [-] million US dollars.
What's more, although WeChat is in the A round of financing, WeChat is not short of money, and those who can get admission tickets are powerful investment banks, or shareholders who are important to the WeChat project.
The introduction of too weak shareholders will not be considered.
After all, Shen Nanpeng's Ctrip hasn't been listed yet. Where did he get so much money?
"Don't worry about the money. If Mr. Fei asks me to enter the market, there should still be 1000 million shares in the financing gap of WeChat. I'll pay [-] million US dollars!" Shen Nanpeng stared at Yu Wenfei with piercing eyes, without hesitation Said.
This surprised Yu Wenfei, where did Shen Nanpeng have the confidence?
"Senior, are you representing an investment bank or a personal investment?" He asked tentatively.
"It does not represent any investment bank, it is purely personal investment! I know you are worried about my source of funds, don't worry, I have also worked in Citigroup for many years in investment banking, and I am quite familiar with financial operations. Although Ctrip has not yet been listed, My shares cannot be cashed out, but...with my relationship with Citigroup and Deutsche Bank, I can mortgage a large amount of money!" Shen Nanpeng readily revealed his cards.
It turned out that he was going to mortgage his shares in Ctrip. It seemed that Shen Nanpeng had made up his mind to leave Ctrip.
Share mortgage is also a common financial operation method, and many capital masters use this method to perfection.
There are also many such entrepreneurs in China, such as the famous Jobs!
He directly cashed out tens of billions of cash through the pledge of shares. Of course, he also made those banks miserable.
Shen Nanpeng has a deep relationship with Citibank and Deutsche Bank, and Ctrip is indeed a high-quality company. The "Internet + mouse" model was first proposed by Ctrip, which is actually the so-called "Internet +" concept in later generations.
The funding problem has been resolved, and the question now is whether Yu Wenfei should introduce such an investor.
Yu Wenfei picked up the chopsticks unhurriedly, picked up a shrimp ball, put it into his mouth and chewed slowly, thinking quickly.
Originally, he planned to introduce another big investment bank like Sequoia Capital, IDG, and even Temasek, but now the situation has changed, and Shen Nanpeng himself sent it to the door.
Seeing that Yu Wenfei didn't speak, Shen Nanpeng felt a little nervous.
He has studied Yu Wenfei and the Facebook family for a long time, and he has read all kinds of information, and he doesn't know how much there is.
In the end, it was judged that if there will be an "oligarchic enterprise" in the domestic Internet field in the future, it will be the Facebook family!
Facebook and Facebook Games, these two companies have already formed a trend, and Shen Nanpeng has no chance to become a shareholder. If he joins as an executive, he will not be reconciled.
The launch of WeChat opened his eyes, and he felt that his opportunity had come!
Especially when he learned from an old friend of Citigroup that WeChat was raising funds, and Citigroup did not plan to follow suit because of its own investment philosophy, Shen Nanpeng was ecstatic!
This is definitely the best opportunity God bestowed on him. For this reason, he did not hesitate to give up Ctrip, which is about to go public, negotiated with Citigroup, pledged all the shares in his hand, and put all his eggs in one basket to win the opportunity to become a shareholder of WeChat!
Now, it depends on whether Yu Wenfei nods...
Chapter 648 This is his empire
What Yu Wenfei considered was whether it was worth exchanging 1000 million shares of WeChat for Shen Nanpeng's joining.
What can this person bring to himself and to Facebook companies!
If Shen Nanpeng joined Wechat, he would be the second largest shareholder besides Yu Wenfei, and he would definitely become an executive director and join Wechat company full-time.
As the CEO of WeChat, Yu Wenfei intends to serve concurrently by himself, because at this stage, no one can control the development direction of WeChat except himself.
The chief technology officer, of course, is Li Xin. After all, Li Xin led the team to develop WeChat software from scratch.
Moreover, Li Xin's technical strength is indeed top-notch in the world, and his understanding of products is also top-notch.
Shen Nanpeng's position can only be CFO, that is, chief financial officer, and for him, he is also competent.
Moreover, after the Facebook family is formed in the future, an investment committee can be established to conduct foreign investment and control the overall development of the domestic Internet industry.
It is impossible for the Facebook family to cover all the Internet subdivision industries. There will inevitably be some industries that do not do it themselves, but invest in other companies to obtain sufficient benefits and voice.
Then at that time, Shen Nanpeng's role will be great, and that is also his best job!
…………
"9000 million shares, [-] million US dollars, you are the vice president of finance of Facebook holding company and the chief financial officer of WeChat company."
Yu Wenfei raised his head suddenly and said solemnly to Shen Nanpeng.
Shen Nanpeng was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed, Yu Wenfei agreed!
And directly gave myself 9000 million shares, which accounted for [-]% of WeChat's total share capital, and gave myself the important position of chief financial officer!
"Thank you Mr. Fei! No problem, I will raise funds as soon as possible, and I will also complete the handover work with my partners on Ctrip as soon as possible. From now on, I will devote all my energy and time to WeChat!" He quickly patted Promised with a chest.
Now, Shen Nanpeng doesn't call him "Junior Brother" anymore, but starts to address him as "Mr. Fei".
Shen Nanpeng is also the last piece of the puzzle of the true core team of the Facebook family!
Yu Wenfei, Cai Congxin, Shen Nanpeng, Fang Zhiyan, and Ai Fei, these five will form the development strategy committee of the Facebook family, and they are also the helmsmen who will actually steer the big ship of the Facebook family.
………………
On September [-]th, the official website of Facebook Holdings Inc. quietly posted an announcement on the homepage, announcing that WeChat Technology Company was formally incorporated into Facebook Holdings and had successfully completed the first round of financing.
"Mr. Yu Wenfei, the original controlling shareholder of WeChat Technology Company, officially transferred 50 million shares and 1000 million shares to Softbank Capital, Modu International Trust and Investment Company, Mr. Shen Nanpeng, Jiaotong University Venture Capital and natural persons at a valuation of US$1000 billion. Shares, 900 million shares, 100 million shares. At the same time, Mr. Shen Nanpeng is welcome to join Facebook Holding Company as the vice president of finance."
Although it was very low-key this time, too many reporters paid attention to the Facebook company's news about Yu Wenfei every day.
Therefore, the official website of Facebook Holdings was launched, and the announcements released soon appeared on the major media.
It was on the official website of Facebook Holdings that everyone realized that the Facebook family is already so powerful!
In the past, everyone knew that the Facebook company was powerful, but there was no clear concept of how powerful it was.
And the official website of Facebook Holdings officially disclosed all the companies controlled by it, and the figure of this behemoth also quietly surfaced.
The overall structure of the Facebook family will also change again after the return of WeChat, and Yu Wenfei has reorganized it again.
In the entire Facebook family company, with Facebook Holdings as the head office, Cai Congxin, Shen Nanpeng, Fang Zhiyan, and Effie will all serve as the vice presidents of Facebook Holdings, and they will be in charge of specific businesses.
Yu Wenfei is the chairman of the board of directors of Facebook Holdings, the chairman of the development strategy committee, and concurrently the president of WeChat Technology Company.
Cai Congxin is the senior vice president of Facebook Holdings, a member of the Development Strategy Committee, and concurrently the CEO of Facebook Technology (formerly Facebook Inc.).
