My Age of Investment

Compared to before, Xia Jingxing could vaguely feel that Yang Zhiyuan and Sun Zhengyi's attitude towards him seemed to have changed a little.

This kind of change is not particularly obvious, but very subtle, and you can't notice it if you don't pay attention.

Perhaps in their eyes, the previous self was just a lucky person who got lucky.

Guarding a golden mountain in vain, but investing in a disorganized way, making a few random investments.

Investing nearly 700 million U.S. dollars in Ali, almost drained all working capital, and even required equity pledge loans.

And now, they still invest in Ali, but in their minds, they may be rational and think twice before acting.

After exchanging a few words with the two, Xia Jingxing sat down beside him.

Jack Ma sat on the first seat with a smile, and said, "Now that everyone is here, it's time to talk about some things."

Xia Jingxing glanced at Jack Ma, who smiled at him and said slowly, "Just a few days ago, Paipai.com was officially launched!

Darren, you were in Luxembourg at the time, and you may not know that this website is an e-commerce website launched by Penguin.

I think Penguin is seeing the hot domestic e-commerce market, and wants to get a share of it.

In Ponima's mind, QQ has the largest number of users and a gold mine of traffic. If you introduce these traffic into the e-commerce market, you can make a lot of money. "

Speaking of this, Jack Ma sneered again and again, "I just want to say that he was wrong, and he was wrong too much."

Sun Zhengyi glanced at Xia Jingxing, smiled and said, "Dai Lun, do you understand the deep meaning of eaby's acquisition of Skype?"

Xia Jingxing and Sun Zhengyi looked at each other, not knowing what the other party wanted to express.

Sun Zhengyi smiled and waved his hands, "Daren, don't get me wrong, Skyp has been sold, and Vision Capital is about to become a shareholder of Ahri.

Let's discuss the matter as it stands and analyze the deep-seated intentions. Because I found that there are many similarities between eaby's acquisition of Skype and Penguin's launch of Paipai.com. "

Yang Zhiyuan nodded, "Yes, one enters instant messaging from e-commerce, and the other enters e-commerce from instant messaging. It is estimated that the core idea is to direct the traffic of instant messaging to e-commerce business."

Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "It should be similar to what you said,

However, I think that Ahri has been operating in the e-commerce industry for so many years, and has laid a solid foundation in terms of brand, technology, and human resources.

The penguin came to provoke, and it shouldn't do anything good.

Why doesn't Facebook do e-commerce? Aside from being afraid that the main business will be affected by too much gluttony, he also has no confidence in this aspect.

For example, users buy things from Penguin or Facebook brands, but the quality of the products they buy back is uneven. They will definitely choose Ahri or Amazon next time. "

Jack Ma was very satisfied with Xia Jingxing's words, and smiled, "Dailun, in fact, what you said is the core competitiveness of an e-commerce company. Ari has been investing manpower and money in it to improve our products. and service."

"Actually, a Paipaiwang is nothing to be afraid of."

Jack Ma glanced at the three of them, "I don't have any other requirements, I just hope that the three of you will be a little faster when the equity investment funds are delivered.

With sufficient ammunition, brothers and sisters fighting on the front line will have higher morale and stronger combat effectiveness. "

Xia Jingxing pursed his lips and smiled, Jack Madou had such a big circle, and after a long time, he was here to collect money.

"Lao Ma, don't worry, Vision Capital will transfer the money to Ari's account as quickly as possible."

Xia Jingxing was the first to take the lead, and Yang Zhiyuan and Sun Zhengyi also expressed their opinions that they would never delay in the delivery.

Jack Ma smiled and said nothing, if he didn't throw out a powerful imaginary enemy, would you be so quick to pay?

…………

…………

the next day.

In a luxury hotel in Lin'an, Ahri held a grand D-round financing conference.

There were no empty seats in the audience, the first row was Lin'an leading cadres at all levels; the second row was invited Ari partners and Zheshang bosses; and behind them were Ari employees and reporters from all walks of life.

The cameraman under the stage set up a long gun and a short cannon, aiming at the four figures on the stage.

Jack Ma stood in the middle, wearing a black suit, tie, and a small red flower on his chest, looking very festive.

Xia Jingxing stood next to Jack Ma, who was a head shorter than him, on the far left. He was also dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He looked heroic and stole a lot of the limelight from Jack Ma. He was more like the protagonist than Jack Ma standing in the middle.

Yang Zhiyuan and Sun Zhengyi stood on the right side of Jack Ma, looking at the audience with smiles on their faces.

Behind the four people, the huge electronic display screen still has this line of words written: Ari's D-round financing of 1.86 billion US dollars press conference.

After the ceremony, Xia Jingxing, Jack Ma and others sat on the four chairs arranged on the stage, and began to accept questions from the audience reporters and interacted friendly.

As the founder and CEO of the company, Jack Ma received the most questions. His witty remarks and frequent golden sentences made the audience laugh out loud.

Xia Jingxing had just reaped the huge returns from Skype's exit, and now he invested heavily in Ahri again, which also attracted many questions from reporters.

"Mr. Xia, I heard that Vision Capital will invest a total of 700 million US dollars in Ahri in this round of financing. Do you and your investment institutions feel any pressure with such a high amount of investment?"

After the reporter finished asking, many people in the audience looked at Xia Jingxing in unison. His young face was in stark contrast to the group of old men next to him.

Because of this, he has always been the most popular in the media and has become a topic of conversation.

Xia Jingxing held the microphone and replied with a smile: "If you say there is no pressure at all, you must be lying.

But in terms of pressure, it's actually not that great. The investment of 700 million US dollars is only the beginning of Envision Capital's heavy domestic position. "

Seven hundred million dollars, just the beginning?

The reporters in the audience were dumbfounded. These words were suspected of being pretentious, but it depends on who said it.

For a person who has just earned more than 300 million US dollars, and has several billion dollars in his pocket, 700 million US dollars is definitely not a big number.

The reporter asked again: "Mr. Xia, when you say that you are heavily invested in China, do you mean that Envision Capital will focus on investing in China in the future? What specific aspects and areas does the investment refer to?"

Xia Jingxing smiled, the young man had a long way to go, this is what he was waiting for.

"The domestic economy is booming. As a Chinese and a returned overseas student, I also hope to join the economic construction of the motherland.

As a platform for the whole investment chain, Envision Capital covers the whole stage of projects from angels to VC, to PE, and to the secondary market.

Therefore, my personal definition of Vision Capital is a helper, helping various domestic industries to take off.

For a creative idea, entrepreneurs who want to turn it into products and services to improve social efficiency, Envision Capital Angel Fund can invest in them;

For companies that are already small and well-established, eager to obtain funds to make the company bigger, Vision Capital’s VC funds can invest in them;

As for companies whose businesses have fully matured, or listed companies, their goal is to become the top in the country, or even the top in the world, and the PE funds of Envision Capital can invest in them.

There is no absolute limit to the field of investment. At present, we invest more in technology and the Internet, but we do not exclude industries such as biology, industry, and education.

All in all, we invest in industries that can create value for society and bring returns to shareholders! "

Xia Jingxing's words are still relatively general, and many people just remember that Vision Capital seems to have many funds, large companies also invest in it, and small companies don't dislike it.

The next reporter asked: "Mr. Xia, would you please disclose the asset management scale of Vision Capital?"

Many people were very concerned about this answer, even Jack Ma and the three on stage couldn't help looking at Xia Jingxing.

"Four billion dollars!"

Without hesitation, Xia Jingxing blurted out.

Someone in the audience exclaimed, and the eyes of the boss sitting in the first row in charge of attracting investment were already shining.

"Is this all your own money?" the reporter asked again.

Although most of it was his own money, Xia Jingxing didn't dare to admit it, it was too big to attract attention.

His purpose is to demonstrate the strength of Envision Capital without being missed by others.

Xia Jingxing had already thought about the answer, and replied with a smile, "How is that possible? Let me introduce the fund's operation model. The Stanford University Foundation, Mr. Bill Gates' Waterfall Investment, etc. are all our investors..."

After listening to Xia Jingxing's introduction, many people in the audience understood that these funds did not belong to Xia Jingxing personally, he was just a manager.

However, the funding agencies are all quite big.

The boss in charge of attracting investment under the stage frowned. Most of it is American money, which is not easy to deal with!

All funds are registered in the Cayman Islands and use a nested equity structure.

Xia Jingxing dared to say that as long as the state machine did not make great efforts to investigate, ordinary people and ordinary units would not be able to figure out the inside story of Envision Capital.

He wants to invest in the domestic industry now. It is necessary to show off his muscles reasonably, but it cannot attract the bite of a wolf.

For most people, Vision Capital is still very mysterious. The impression is that they are rich and very rich.

Following one reporter's inquiry after another, Xia Jingxing explained in various easy-to-understand languages, and the mysterious veil of Vision Capital was lifted layer by layer.

A reporter laughed and asked, "Mr. Xia, Vision Capital invests in so many industries in China. Wouldn't most of the money it earns in the future be earned by foreigners?"

This question is a little bit sharp, and if you don't answer it well, it's easy to collapse the character and be regarded as a comprador.

Xia Jingxing pondered for a moment, then replied: "But in this process, our industry has really improved.

Sacrificing short-term profits, we can still sell things abroad after we develop into a world-class enterprise and master world-class technology!

In addition, these enterprises also provide jobs and provide a high-level talent pool for the country.

In the long run, this is also to enhance the soft power of the country.

After all, you cannot have both fish and bear's paws, and you can only catch one in the short term.

But I believe that in the future, China's financial capital can be invested in overseas markets in reverse. "
