[22.8 billion USD, the largest financing in history.]
[WeChat Friends Makes History.]
[WeChat Friends IP explodes again. Monthly IP visits in North America break a record.]
There was no need for any hype. WeChat Friends' financing was a record.
It was the same even in the future in the year 2020.
With so much cash flow, WeChat Friends launched a large-scale advertising strategy.
This strategy was not very clever, but it was very practical.
As long as the advertisements covered the sky and covered the earth, any website could be built.
Soon, you would see.
The original WeChat Friends was already very popular with the help of Steal Vegetables. There was no need to talk about a series of advertisements.
It could be said that during this period of time, WeChat Friends' competitor, Facebook, could not even build a business.
However, while WeChat Friends' advertising links continued to appear, Chen Yu was also thinking about the 20 billion USD.
"Tsk tsk, these guys are really rich."
Looking at the funds in the account, Chen Yu sighed.
No wonder so many companies wanted to raise funds in the United States. These rich people, these funds, these funds were just like numbers.
This was not money at all.
However, looking at the 20 billion USD, Chen Yu felt a little more confident.
He had even gotten Devil's Root, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Berkshire, Blackstone … and a series of top investors.
He did not want to do whatever he wanted in the United States. At the very least, he wanted to see who dared to touch him.
Even if someone dared to touch him, Chen Yu did not have any objections. These top investors also had objections.
"Boss Chen, when do you think we should start the listing plan?"
"Listing? Why should we?"
"Boss Chen, isn't WeChat Friends going to be listed?"
Wang Chang held the documents and discussed the listing plan with Chen Yu in the future. "Goldman Sachs is very experienced in listing. They think that WeChat Friends can be listed within a year at the latest. They can help us with all the necessary steps. Of course, if we want to be listed as soon as possible, they can also do it within half a year. "
"Wang Chang, tell them that WeChat Friends may need to raise funds a few more times. There are no plans to be listed for the time being."
Chen Yu smiled.
His main purpose for raising funds in North America was not really to raise funds.
Most importantly, he wanted to bind these top-notch assets.
The current progress was not bad. More than 20 billion USD had been invested, and it could be considered as binding a lot of capital.
But Chen Yu felt that it was not enough.
Feng Yu wants to raise 100 billion USD before he gets listed.
Even Chen Yu would have to consider listing the company if it was raised to 100 billion USD.
As for why he didn't want to be listed.
That was to completely grasp these giants in their hands.
As long as Wechat was not listed, then these top capital stocks would not be able to be sold.
If they couldn't sell their shares, then they wouldn't be able to cash out the money they had invested.
If they couldn't cash out, they would still be tied to their network of friends.
As long as they couldn't cash out for a day, they would be extremely concerned about any problems encountered by their friend network.
If they were to be listed, with all these capital, where would Chen Yu find so many bodyguards?
"You still need to refinance?"
Wang Chang was extremely surprised. "Boss Chen, this 20 billion USD is already enough for us. We don't need to refinance."
"Who says it's enough? Wechat is enough, but our domestic side is very short of money."
Although Wechat was important, Chen Yu valued the domestic side of the business the most.
Especially when he had set up so many asset businesses. Chips, chip OEM, operating systems, mobile phones, electronic foundries, all kinds of electronic components … Any one of these would require a lot of money.
Although many domestic businesses were very profitable, such as online games, YY, and various websites … no matter how profitable it was, it couldn't support so many businesses.
"By the way, Wang Chang, do you think we can use the funds from Wechat for domestic enterprises?"
Chen Yu suddenly asked.
This shocked Wang Chang. "Boss Chen, that won't do. The funds from Wechat only belong to Wechat. You can't take it away without permission. "
Wang Chang knew that Chen Yu had always been very bold and could do anything.
But this kind of thing couldn't be touched.
"Then there's no other way? For example, let Wechat lend money to Huanyu Technologies. "
"This … this is possible in principle."
Wang Chang had a headache, but she still said, "But the capital will definitely cause trouble for us."
"What trouble can they cause us? All of them together only have 40% of the shares, and I have 60%. Besides, their shares don't have much voting power. How to use the funds is my business. They have no right to interfere. "
Although Wechat's financing was to sell 40% of the shares, in order to firmly hold the control of Wechat, Chen Yu used the financing plan of the same shares but different voting power. Although some capital had objections to this plan, most capital was still very optimistic about Wechat.
And most capital invested in Wechat not for control, they just wanted to make money.
On the other hand, even if they had control, they knew that they couldn't do it well.
Professional things should be left to the professionals.
Their profession was investment, so naturally, they wouldn't get involved in the management of the company.
"That's true, but the impact is not good."
"It's not a big deal. Wechat raised so much money, and we don't need so much. We can't just deposit this money in the bank. All major companies have idle fund management plans, such as buying funds, trading stocks, etc. It's normal for us to lend money to Huanyu Technologies. Also, Huanyu Technologies isn't taking it for free. We'll still pay the interest, don't you think? "
"This …"
"Okay, that's it. Go back and tell the capital."
"Okay, okay."
Feeling extremely awkward, Wang Chang could only agree.
A few days later, when Wang Chang prepared to lend $5 billion to Huanyu Technologies, the capital was dumbfounded.
"This guy can do this?"
"Is he financing Wechat or financing Huanyu Technologies?"
"But can we say no?"
They really wanted to object.
But it was useless.
With their shareholding ratio and voting restrictions, any objection from them was useless.
Although Chen Yu's operation was boring, it was all legal.
Also, Wechat raised so much money at once. It was impossible to deposit it in the bank.
Everyone knew that it was not worth it to deposit it in the bank. The more you deposit it, the less valuable it would be.
On the contrary, it was fine to use this money well.
Moreover, now that Wechat is doing so well, you have nothing to criticize Wechat.
In the end, Devil's Root and Microsoft symbolically expressed their opposition. The $5 billion was lent to Huanyu Technologies through various operations. Of course, interest was still needed. As for the interest, it was based on bank loan interest.
Chen Yu didn't want to take advantage of Wechat.
Although he didn't want to take advantage of Wechat, a normal bank wouldn't be able to loan out such a large sum of $5 billion.
Even if it was $5 billion, it would be extremely difficult to loan it out.
Five billion USD, more than 40 billion RMB. It's like robbing money. It's too good. "Feng Yu thought.
"Wang Chang, continue to look after Wechat. I'm going back to China."
The $5 billion had been transferred out. Chen Yu's wallet instantly bulged.
This made Chen Yu feel like he had reached the peak of his life. Climax after climax.
Things like "I don't like money" and "I hate money the most" … could be said.
Of course, these were all jokes.
Now was not the time for Chen Yu to show off.
This time, he had to do a few big operations in China.
