High School Belle Fell in Love with Me

Chapter 399 - 191: Hunters Often Appear as Prey (Part 2)

Li Yang quickly replied, "Senior Brother, it’s got nothing to do with last time. I actually have some things to do this time, attending a gathering, seeing friends off."

"Well... How about this, I notify other investors... shall we reschedule? How about the 29th?"

"Senior Brother Dai, how much is ofo planning to raise this time? Still 30%?"

"Yes."

"Then I offer 150 million. If anyone quotes higher than me, I’ll back out. If not, feel free to contact me anytime."

After speaking, Li Yang hung up the phone.

He really did have things to do. Not to mention the 30th, he wouldn’t be free even on the 28th, 29th, or before January 3rd, to attend David’s financing event.

However, he certainly wanted to put some pressure on the Cen Family.

The offer of 150 million was just slightly inflated, similar to last time.

At this price, if he manages to get involved, he can still make money after running through two more rounds.

The current valuation of ofo’s bikes should be more than 400 million, so his offer wasn’t too high.

If it’s 180 million, he even suspects whether the Cen Family could come up with it.

Therefore, 150 million was the best. If the Cen Family is willing to offer...

"Yang, why didn’t you bring Jiang Banxia over?"

He Lewei asked from the side. At this time, all five people in the dormitory had arrived at the Starry Escape Room, ready to play two new scenarios later.

Li Yang asked, "Why bring her over?"

Li Yang was determined never to bring Jiang Banxia to play an escape room again. That girl was fearless, and if she gave him a psychological shadow like last time, he felt he’d never have the desire to create again.

He Lewei laughed and said, "Of course, to play together."

"Oh, she’s busy with work and not interested in our lowbrow activities."

At this moment, Gong Chenlin asked from the side, "Li Yang, is your hometown Jiang City?"

"Yes, Senior Sister, anything you want to say? We don’t have any specialties from my hometown..."

Gong Chenlin laughed and said, "It’s not about specialties, Song Xiaoli’s reporting unit this time is in Jiang City."

Li Yang: "..."

"So, I wanted you to take care of her."

Li Yang said with a smile, "Since Senior Sister mentioned it, I’ll certainly help as much as I can."

He’s been busy these days because Gong Chenlin’s work unit has been finalized, and the exam for selected graduates poses no difficulty for her.

Moreover... Gong Chenlin herself landed a position in the city office right away, an astonishingly high starting point.

It had nothing to do with personal capability but background.

Of course, he needed to build a good relationship. Song Xiaoli also has considerable skills, but still had to start from a small county town, right?

Although Gong Chenlin and He Lewei haven’t officially confirmed their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend yet, if things develop normally, by the time He Lewei graduates, it should be about settled.

The schedule for the next few days is already packed—eating, drinking, and having fun for a few days, followed by a send-off for Gong Chenlin from the whole dormitory.

To promise is to give Gong Chenlin an easy way out; otherwise, rejecting her face-to-face would embarrass her.

He had nothing much to talk about with Song Xiaoli.

....

After confirming that Li Yang wouldn’t come, David immediately disclosed Li Yang’s offer to maximize his own benefits.

Based on Li Yang’s offer, negotiating in a few days would be much easier.

In fact, he still felt a bit regretful because Li Yang not being on-site meant no flexibility.

If only Li Yang offered 180 million.

After all, Shunwei Capital had already secretly been in touch, offering 120 million plus some resources from Rice Group.

David wasn’t satisfied with the price Li Yang offered this time, so he could only use it as a bargaining chip.

For Ye Zhen, learning about this offer still made him a bit excited.

Because investing in ofo bikes is currently, the most successful investment handled by Yuancheng Capital, without exception.

The previous investment of 24 million for a 30% stake, now with ofo’s valuation surely above 400 million.

Calculating based on this ratio, the value of their shares exceeds 120 million.

However, this round of financing will definitely dilute them significantly, yet it’s still worth over 84 million.

In just three months, turning over 20 million into over 80 million—this is the charm of investment.

According to the Cen Family’s idea, they would not participate in this round, allowing their shares to be diluted, as it’s certainly profit.

Even after another two rounds of financing, they could still hold 10% of ofo’s shares, which might be worth two to three hundred million by then.

But... ofo’s bikes are just too hot right now; Ye Zhen has received too many calls during this period, all requesting to buy ofo shares they hold, with some offering 90 million and even some willing to pay 100 million.

David has also become the darling of the capital market, with global well-known venture capital firms all eager and ready to act.

This scene is all too familiar to Ye Zhen.

This is a sign that a top-tier enterprise is about to emerge!

Therefore, the Cen Family urgently held a meeting to discuss whether to participate in this round of ofo’s financing.

The Cen Family holds the lead investor rights, giving them an advantage in pricing.

Whether it’s investing in Boss Jia or Principal Wang, although both went through Yuancheng Capital, it practically had nothing to do with Ye Zhen, whereas this time, it was indeed something he led.

At the meeting, he painted a picture of ofo’s future for the family and presented a heap of data to prove that ofo is still rapidly expanding at this moment, enjoying a very high growth dividend period.
