Chapter 187: No Comparison, No Harm (1, Please Subscribe Automatically)
Generally speaking, for an Internet company, financing is the only way to go public.
But financing is not harmless, and for Internet companies, more financing is not always better.
Under normal circumstances, an enterprise's angel round financing is in the millions, Series A financing is in the tens of millions, and after Series B, it is in the hundreds of millions.
As long as the funds raised in the last round can support the next milestone, there is no need to be too greedy.
If you strive for a large amount of financing from the beginning, there will be less room for dilution of equity in the future, which is not conducive to the founder's control of the company.
And too much financing often means that it is difficult for funds to be effectively used.
Selling equity but not being able to effectively utilize financing is obviously not good news for business founders.
Moreover, listing is a double-edged sword, which is not absolutely beneficial to the company's development, but also has some obvious disadvantages.
Going public costs money, and while increasing transparency, it also exposes many secrets.
After listing, stock holders must be notified of the company's information every period of time, and there is a possibility of malicious control.
At the time of listing, if the price of the shares is set too low, it will be a loss to the company.
In fact, this is a common practice. Almost all companies will set their stock prices lower when they go public.
Wang Cong also has a clear understanding of the principles behind this, so he had already planned the future in the early days of Weibo.
Weibo can go public after three rounds of financing, which means there is still another round of financing opportunities.
As for the places where stocks are listed, they are basically the famous exchanges in the world.
Generally speaking, for the vast majority of domestic companies that need to be listed, they will choose between the New York Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
But there are also some large enterprises and companies that will be listed in both places.
For example, Ma Xiaoyun's Alibaba Group, and Sina Weibo in previous lives, etc.
But Wang Cong feels that listing on the New York Stock Exchange is enough, and Sohu Weibo is for him.
It doesn't make that much sense now, and there's no need to expend more energy.
But Weibo’s third round of financing doesn’t need to be too urgent now. It needs a little buffering time.
Because in two or three days, the first episode of the first season of "The Voice of China" will premiere.
Wang Cong first came to the stage of "I Am a Singer" on Saturday and continued to cheer for Deng Ziqi.
The singing order of each episode of "I Am a Singer" is disrupted.
In the first period, Deng Ziqi was the last one, but in the second period, Deng Ziqi accidentally got the first place.
Generally speaking, there is still a certain amount of pressure on the first one to sing.
Especially for a new star like Deng Ziqi who has just debuted.
If you have poor mental endurance, you may make some mistakes in singing due to nervousness, which may lead to failure of the performance.
In the second issue, Deng Ziqi sang a classic Cantonese song "Like You" without the blessing of original songs.
This Cantonese song is a song by the famous Hong Kong band beyond, but with Deng Ziqi's interpretation, it has a unique flavor.
Maybe because the song "Like You" is a love song.
As for the expression of love songs, perhaps girls' emotions are inherently more delicate than boys'.
And Deng Ziqi's performance today is still eye-catching, she is wearing white short-sleeved clothes.
Showing off her singing voice on the stage and actively interacting with the audience created a lively atmosphere.
Although Deng Ziqi's debut time is too short compared to the king Qi Qin and the soprano singer Lin Zhixuan.
But because of the dazzling performance of "Bubble", this cute and charming Hong Kong girl appeared in everyone's sight.
At the current scene, there are nearly 2,000 spectators, 400 of whom are fans of Deng Ziqi!
Wang Cong is naturally also a fan of Deng Ziqi, holding a purple light stick in his hand to cheer for Deng Ziqi.
After singing the song, Deng Ziqi saw the fans under the stage and Wang Cong in the first row, and she even smiled.
"Thank you, thank you everyone!"
Deng Ziqi's words once again made many viewers and her fans excited.
One area even turned into a purple ocean.
Seeing Deng Ziqi, who was the first to take the stage, perform so brilliantly,
The singers in the backstage lounge naturally felt some pressure.
Among them, the one with the coldest and deepest expression is Shang Wenjie, who is dressed in black.
Since the last issue, during the final announcement of rankings, she wanted to ridicule Deng Ziqi first.
But she didn't expect that Deng Ziqi actually won first place in the end, and then was ridiculed. The feeling made her almost vomit blood.
I originally thought that Deng Ziqi would not be blessed with any original songs in this issue.
Moreover, he is the first one to sing, so his performance may not be that good.
Unfortunately, just like Murphy's law, Deng Ziqi's wonderful performance once again won the applause of the whole house and made her face dark.

And Shang Wenjie happened to be the second one to sing.
Shang Wenjie's song selection for this issue is an English song, which is relatively difficult.
But Shang Wenjie wants to take a different approach and maybe sing English songs, which will lead to better public opinion and ranking.
Moreover, Shang Wenjie has prepared this song many times, so it can be said that there is no problem.
But when she thought of Deng Ziqi's performance just now, Shang Wenjie felt a little dizzy.
When they came to the stage, they were all a little lost and paused for a few seconds.
As for the English song she sang, her skills were not online, and she did not stand out in some areas that needed to be highlighted.
And in the climax, there is a slight sound break, but it is not obvious to the audience.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.

Shang Wenjie's performance is really not at her level. After all, Shang Wenjie is also a professional singer.
As a professional singer, it is a big mistake to sing with broken notes on stage.
Qi Qin, Lin Zhixuan, Huang Qishan and others all frowned slightly, feeling that Shang Wenjie's performance of this song was not good.
It is estimated that the ranking will be relatively low again, and even more dangerous.
Shang Wenjie herself also realized that something was wrong with her, and secretly scolded Deng Ziqi again.
After all, he felt that she was not performing well on stage now.
A large part of the reason was the psychological pressure Deng Ziqi put on her just now.
But you must not be nervous at this time, you can only maintain your condition quickly.
I finished the remaining part, although there was some sparse applause from the bottom of the stage after singing.
But this cannot cover up Shang Wenjie's mistake, compared with the applause after Ziqi's performance.
On Shang Wenjie's side, there is still a considerable gap. As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.
After the two female singers sang, you can see their performance off the stage.
The remaining singers are also actively preparing.
Especially the kings Qi Qin and Lin Zhixuan, these two people are full of firepower and brought their own masterpieces.
Although there are no original songs in this issue, the overall excitement is not inferior to the previous issue.
In the final announcement of rankings, Deng Ziqi won third place with "Like You".
The first place in the second period is Qi Qin, the King of Heaven, and it can be said that he has truly deserved the title. .
