[DeepSeek Resumes Fundraising with Pre-Money Valuation of 500 Billion Yuan] According to reports from *Caijing Magazine*, multiple market insiders have revealed that large-scale model company DeepSeek has resumed its second round of fundraising. This round aims to raise 50 billion yuan, with a pre-money valuation of approximately 500 billion yuan, and plans to finalize agreements by late August. Several investors mentioned that DeepSeek's second round of fundraising had already started by mid-July but was abruptly paused at the end of the month. At that time, some investors on the backup negotiation list were informed that the signing of the fundraising agreements had been postponed. According to media reports on July 26, one reason for the suspension of DeepSeek's second round of fundraising was the dissatisfaction of DeepSeek's founder, Liang Wenfeng, with widely circulated online rumors. These rumors primarily revolved around a purportedly leaked "investor meeting transcript." DeepSeek and the investors currently at the negotiation table hope that this round of fundraising can proceed discreetly after its resumption.
