If Xu Zhe hadn't intervened, Wang Xingbang would still be building various websites. His vision was limited to the computer and not the mobile.
This situation did not change until 2012.
In the past two years, there were already several group buying websites competing on the mobile side. Although Meituan had a huge user base, it also took a lot of effort to suppress the other competitors.
It could be said that Xu Zhe's words had opened the door to a new world for Wang Xingbang!
The two of them chatted deeper and deeper on this topic. Most of the time, Wang Xingbang described his thoughts and prospects.
Xu Zhe only listened quietly and would occasionally interject, but every time, he would hit the nail on the head and speak directly about the interests involved, making Wang Xingbang's impression of him better and better.
It was not until six o'clock in the evening that the two of them finally ended their conversation. Wang Xingbang did not have any resistance to Xu Zhe's intention to invest in the company. Instead, he was very glad!
The conversation in the afternoon gave him a general understanding of this young man who looked less than twenty years old, and he had a great impression of him!
Even in terms of group purchases, Xu Zhe's views were more advanced and insightful than his!
Wang Xingbang was a confident person and trusted his own abilities.
Now that he had met someone who shared the same interests as him, was there a better partner than Xu Zhe?
Compared to working with a venture capital institution, it was more reassuring to work with a peer!
In the end, the two of them reached an agreement. Xu Zhe would invest 15 million USD and obtain 30% of Meituan's shares!
Even Xu Zhe was a little shocked by this number.
Although he had beat Sequoia Capital to it and was the first to cooperate with Wang Xingbang, he did not expect to get so many shares.
In his memory, Sequoia Capital had only received 18% of the shares with 1200 USD in financing. On average, 1% of the shares had cost 666,000 USD.
And the shares he obtained were more than Sequoia Capital's, and the price was cheaper!
However, what Xu Zhe didn't know was that if things continued to develop according to history, Wang Xingbang wouldn't release too many shares for the injection of capital.
After all, the higher the amount of capital he held, the more affected he would be.
As for Xu Zhe, he naturally did not have this risk.
Of course, what had a greater impact on Wang Xingbang was not Xu Zhe's advanced vision of group buying websites.
After all, Wang Xingbang was a businessman. He would naturally try his best to protect his own interests.
What really moved Wang Xingbang was that Xu Zhe's shares were held by him instead!
This meant that Meituan was still under his control! This was a temptation that Wang Xingbang could not resist!
"Mr. Xu, no, it should be Chairman Xu!”
Wang Xingbang stood up and shook hands with Xu Zhe. He smiled and said,
"To celebrate our successful cooperation, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. You must not refuse!"”
"Hahaha, since Chairman Wang has the intention, I'll naturally obey.”
Xu Zhe was in a very good mood after finally getting the shares of Meituan and agreed immediately.
Then, the two of them and the other higher-ups of Meituan Network set off for the restaurant.
Sitting in the car, Xu Zhe could not hide the excitement on his face.
30% of Meituan's shares!
The future value was close to 15 billion USD!
And how much did he spend to get these shares? 15 million dollars, a thousand times the profit!
Although in the later stages of the financing, if they did not continue to inject capital, the shares would inevitably be diluted.
But with this 30% stake as a foundation, would Xu Zhe watch helplessly as his money was lost in the future?
Even if they continued to invest, they would still receive at least a hundred times the profits!
In short, Xu Zhe had made a huge profit!
