Odaily Planet Daily reports exclusively that LatePost has learned that Kimi (the Dark Side of the Moon) is about to complete a new round of $2 billion financing, with the post-investment valuation surpassing $20 billion. This round of financing is led by Meituan Longzhu, with participation from China Mobile, CPE (CITIC Industry Fund), and others, among which Longzhu alone has put in more than $200 million.

In January and February this year, Kimi just completed three rounds of financing in quick succession, raising $500 million, $700 million, and $700 million respectively.
