Recently a novel hadronic state of mass 6.9 GeV, that decays mainly to a pairof charmonia, was observed in LHCb. The data also reveals a broader structurecentered around 6490 MeV and suggests another unconfirmed resonance centered ataround 7240 MeV, very near to the threshold of two doubly charmed $\Xi_{cc}$baryons. We argue in this note that these exotic hadrons are genuinetetraquarks and not molecules of charmonia. It is conjectured that they areV-baryonium tetraquarks, namely, have an inner structure of a baryonic vertexwith a $cc$ diquark attached to it, which is connected by a string to ananti-baryonic vertex with a $\bar c \bar c$ anti-diquark. We examine thesestates as the analogs of the states $\Psi(4360)$ and $Y(4630)$/$\Psi(4660)$which are charmonium-like tetraquarks. One way to test these claims is bysearching for a significant decay of the state at 7.2 GeV into$\Xi_{cc}\overline\Xi_{cc}$. Such a decay would be the analog of the decay ofthe state $Y(4630)$ into to $\Lambda_c\overline\Lambda_c$. We further arguethat there should be trajectories of both orbital and radial excited states ofthe $X(6900)$. We predict their masses. It is possible that a few of thesestates have already been seen by LHCb.
