Several trading sources revealed that the big model company DeepSeek has restarted the second round of financing. This round plans to raise 50 billion yuan, with a pre-investment valuation of about 500 billion yuan, and plans to complete the signing of the contract in late August. A number of investors mentioned that DeepSeek's second round of financing began at least in mid-July, but was suddenly suspended at the end of July. At that time, some investors on the waiting list for negotiations were told that plans to sign a financing agreement were suspended. According to media reports on July 26, DeepSeek suspended the second round of financing. One reason was that DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng was dissatisfied with comments that were widely circulated online. These news mainly revolved around “minutes of meetings for investors” that were suspected to have been leaked. DeepSeek and investors at the negotiation table hope that this financing will be carried out in a low-key manner after the restart. Currently, some investment institutions that have been actively contacted previously said that they have not received news of DeepSeek's restarting financing, and the channel is still suspended.
