Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

"What should I do?"

Listening to the voices of Xu Niannian and Yu Youjia outside, Yan Chiju put his ear against the locked door of the dressing room and asked Xu Xing nervously.

"If you don't want to be discovered now, then just wait." Xu Xing stood behind her and shrugged, "Or we can go out now."

"Well... let's stay here first." Yan Chijue still didn't feel embarrassed to go out like this.

It was obviously a changing room in a men's clothing store, but she and Xu Xing walked out together. The scene felt very embarrassing just thinking about it.

However, in this way, the two of them were trapped in the changing room by Xu Niannian and Yu Youjia, unable to get out, and had nothing else to do.

Yan Chijiu glanced at Xu Xing secretly, then looked around the small space in the changing room, and several exciting scenes suddenly appeared in her mind.

"What are you thinking about?" Xu Xing pinched her soft and pink face and laughed.

"It's nothing." Yan Chijiu quickly shook his head, getting rid of the shameful scene in his mind.

While the two were trapped in the changing room, Xu Niannian was following the shopping guide to choose suitable winter clothes.

After picking out a few coats, Xu Niannian took photos and sent them to Xu Xing.

【Xu Niannian】:(picture)

[Xu Niannian]: Are you busy? How about taking a look at these clothes?

In the changing room, Xu Xing felt the vibration of his phone. He took it out and saw that it was from Xu Niannian.

Yan Chijuan was still nervously pressing against the door to eavesdrop on what was going on outside. Xu Xing took this opportunity to glance at the photos Xu Niannian had posted.

As a result, he unexpectedly discovered that Xu Niannian and Yan Chijuan's tastes were quite consistent. In other words, Yan Chijuan's clothing matching was originally learned from Xu Niannian, so that several photos Xu Niannian sent also

They were all the sets chosen by Yan Chi Jiu for him.

However, Xu Niannian's skill is obviously more profound. In addition to the three sets selected by Yan Chijuan, he also selected some other jackets suitable for Xu Xing.

After careful consideration, Xu Xing glanced at Yan Chijuan and simply chose the same three coats that Yan Chijuan chose for him.

【Xu Xing】: These are pretty good.

[Xu Niannian]: I mean? You have a good sense.

[Xu Niannian]: I also think these three items are okay and more suitable for you.

[Xu Niannian]: Then take a look at the other items? There are sweaters and pants inside.

[Xu Niannian]: I’ll take the photo for you, just wait.

【Xu Xing】: You want to buy so much? You might as well buy two more clothes for yourself.

[Xu Niannian]: I am happy, can you take care of it?

[Xu Niannian]: Are you not happy that your sister bought you clothes? Why are you so heartless?

【Xu Xing】:...then you continue.

Soon, Xu Xing received another picture from Xu Niannian.

After selecting one by one, Xu Niannian was finally satisfied, paid at the front desk, and left the men's clothing store with Yu Youjia with the results in large and small bags.

Although Yan Chijuan noticed Xu Xing using his mobile phone midway, he thought it was because there was something to deal with in the company, so he didn't ask any more questions and kept listening intently to what was going on outside.

After confirming that Xu Niannian and Yu Youjia were finally gone, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned to Xu Xing and said, "Sister Niannian and the others are gone, I will go out first, you..."

"Why are you going out?" Xu Xing grabbed her wrist and wrapped his other hand around her waist to prevent her from escaping smoothly. He smiled and said in her ear, "I just want to change."

Clothes, do you want to help me?"

…

——————————

Five o'clock in the afternoon, Xiaonanguo Restaurant.

Pei Qinglan and Yao Yuanyuan were sitting in the hall, next to Pei Qinglan's assistant Xiao Xuan.

The mother and daughter had a New Year's Day reunion dinner here in advance and chatted about recent events.

"How was your stay at Qunxing? How did it feel?" Pei Qinglan asked Yao Yuanyuan while taking a small bite of the food.

"Very good." Yao Yuanyuan said with a smile, "I feel like we have taken a big step forward in acquiring your company."

Pei Qinglan shook her head and laughed, but now she could no longer completely ignore this joke.

Although the current Qunxing Company is far from acquiring an investment company that has no business relationship, in terms of size alone, the investment company Pei Qinglan has is probably a bit behind others.

It was only a short few months before and after...

Pei Qinglan witnessed with her own eyes the rise of a tens of billions company in only a few tenths of the time of other companies.

For a normal tens of billions of companies to grow from small to large and become stronger, it has not gone through a process of more than ten years or even decades.

Even the most outrageously inflated Internet emerging companies have gradually emerged in the past decade or so, and are far less exaggerated than Qunxing.

Moreover, the rise of this company is really hard to imagine, and it can almost be said to be a miracle that cannot be replicated.

Generally speaking, if an Internet company wants to develop, it will inevitably need financing funds from external investors, which requires the founders to exchange shares.

Internet projects are almost all money-losing products that burn money in the early stage. Investors are playing with concepts and scale effects. After pushing up the market value, they can obtain high enough stock returns when the company goes public.

In this way, the normal development process of an Internet company should be that the founder proposes an idea, builds the initial framework, and then attracts angel investors.

After receiving the first investment, the founder begins to promote his Internet project. After preliminary verification of the operating model, he can continue to raise Series A financing and obtain more funds for the first step of development.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

Subsequently, as long as the company can continue to expand, it can continue to obtain subsequent rounds of B, C, and even D and E rounds of financing until it goes public.

By that time, the founder's voting rights may still guarantee his control of the company, but the shares he holds are less than 20%, and some may even be in single digits.

The company has grown into a giant worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions.

But things are different here in Xu Xing.

Although Pei Qinglan can understand the logic of the rise of Qunxing Company, even if this process is placed in front of her, it is not a method that can be copied.

Because Xu Xing relies on neither external investment nor a new innovative field. He just creates one hit mobile game after another at a relatively small cost!

The mobile game Fruit Assassin alone has already made hundreds of millions in revenue around the world, and with the sale of agency rights in various countries, a steady stream of profits will be included in the pockets of Qunxing Company, until one day Fruit Assassin

users are completely saturated and gradually decline.

But if we wait until that day, Qunxing Company will probably already be a behemoth.

"I'm actually quite curious, what is Xu Xing's usual state of making games?" Pei Qinglan picked up a tissue to wipe the corners of her mouth after finishing her meal, and asked Yao Yuanyuan, "In just half a year, eight mobile games have been launched.

All have been very successful.”

"First there was a game like Fruit Assassin with relatively simple and straightforward operations, and then four parkour games with the same theme but completely different styles were launched."

"After that, I immediately got involved in music games, tower defense, and a female-oriented dress-up mobile game."

"This kind of escaping of thinking is indeed a very powerful skill."

"I don't know about that, I'm only in charge of money." Yao Yuanyuan chuckled, "I only know that the person in charge of our Tianshu Game talks about Mr. Xu's magical drawer all day long. It is said that there are a bunch of things in it.

The game planning plans are all waiting to be turned into ready-made games.”

Pei Qinglan couldn't help laughing when she heard such gossip: "Is it really that exaggerated?"

"You can ask Mr. Xu yourself later." Yao Yuanyuan now feels a special sense of accomplishment. When she agreed to join Xu Xing's company, she never would have imagined that she would reach this point in just half a year.

It was obviously something that happened in reality, but when I think about it now, it feels like I was in a dream.

"However, what surprised me the most was his ability in other aspects." Pei Qinglan sighed, "I heard that he had invested in many projects in Kyoto before? There is something else that he wants to talk to me about today.

Did you eat any takeaways, including WeChat, it’s really scary when you think about it this way.”

"I didn't expect it to turn out like this." Yao Yuanyuan spread her hands and expressed her helplessness, "Originally, I thought he might have been a little inflated during his trip to Kyoto."

"But subsequent developments showed that almost everything he did was correct."

"Those who previously invested in Kyoto, such as Didi Taxi, have basically occupied the market in Kyoto and are ready to expand to other first-tier cities."

"Another example is the 2D website. After returning, it acquired Aizhan. As soon as the two websites were merged, they have now taken the top spot in this field."

"There are also takeaways that he and his roommate personally created. In addition to the university towns in Shanghai, there are also some of his high school classmates in Kyoto who have expanded part of the market."

"Not to mention WeChat, a big killer..."

At this point, Yao Yuanyuan and Pei Qinglan looked at each other, and they could see the admiration for Xu Xing and Qunxing Company in each other's eyes.

"This is probably the so-called son of the times." Pei Qinglan was filled with emotion, and she did not forget to tell Yao Yuanyuan, "This is your opportunity, you must seize it."

"In fact, in the past ten years or so in China, the Internet industry has been undergoing rapid changes. It seems that the dozens of top figures are driving the storm, but the people who follow them can also make a lot of money."

"Now you just need to stay with Xu Xing peacefully and help him take care of the company's finances, and you won't have to worry about development in the future."

"But you can't be complacent. You need to work harder in this area. The current financial situation of Qunxing Company is relatively simple, and it is not as complex as a large group."

"But Qunxing Company will only get bigger and bigger in the future, and its internal finances will become more and more complicated. You have to be mentally prepared. If you don't do well, Xu Xing will have to replace him sooner or later."

For Pei Qinglan, an investor, not putting all eggs in one basket is the correct investment strategy.

But Xu Xing's basket was so tempting that even if he kept Yao Yuanyuan in it, Pei Qinglan felt that he would not lose money and could even make a lot of money.

This is especially the case with the financing intention of the Eat.me food delivery platform. If Pei Qinglan had not expressed goodwill to Xu Xing many times before, including the game studio that was the first to invest in Xu Xing, and the new company that promised Yao Yuanyuan to let her join Xu Xing to help.

During the National Day, I reached an agreement with Xu Xing's parents and invested in Sun Wanhui's clothing company. At the same time, I invited Xu Jian to join the clothing foundry and take full charge of all contact matters in this area.

These several friendships, coupled with Yao Yuanyuan's relationship, allowed Xu Xing to first think of Pei Qinglan instead of other investment companies when he wanted to seek project financing.

This is the meaning of accumulating connections.

"So mom, do you want to come and help me?" Yao Yuanyuan said with a thief smile, "I remember that before you worked at Greenwood Capital, you were in the finance field, right? It's considered an old job."

"Are you so anxious to drag your mother into a trap?" Pei Qinglan glanced at her, "I still have a lot of people in the company to support, but I don't have time to help you, so just ask for your blessings."

"Hmph." Yao Yuanyuan wrinkled her nose unconvinced, "Then just wait, our Qunxing Company will acquire you in the future."

"Oh, I hope that day will come." Pei Qinglan just smiled and then received a call.

After looking down at the note on the phone, Pei Qinglan's face changed slightly, her expression became serious, and she made a silencing gesture towards Yao Yuanyuan to tell her not to make a sound.

Then, Pei Qinglan answered the phone.

There was a man's voice on the other end of the phone. His voice was very calm and reserved. He said to Pei Qinglan on the other end of the phone: "I will set off around five-thirty. I may be late to your place. Please apologize to Mr. Xu."

"Okay, it's okay. Just take your time." Pei Qinglan said seriously, "Mr. Xu is still on the way, so we are not in a hurry."

"Well, sorry for the trouble." After a simple thank you, the person hung up the phone.

Pei Qinglan put away her phone, looked at the curious Yao Yuanyuan opposite, and asked, "Are you going to follow me later? Xu Xing will be there soon, you can attend with him."

"Well, I told him before." Yao Yuanyuan nodded, and then asked in a low voice, "Mom, who was that just now?"

"Don't ask too many questions that shouldn't be asked." Pei Qinglan reminded seriously, "He is the secretary. Don't ask anything else. Don't talk too much when we get to the dinner table. Just shut up if Xu Xing won't let you speak."

"I know." Seeing Pei Qinglan's serious expression, Yao Yuanyuan knew that the person coming was not an ordinary person, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She just responded and then asked, "Is this person also here to talk about food?

of?"

"Although the EatMe takeaway platform is very promising, we don't want to meet Xu Xing in person." Pei Qinglan shook her head and said, "This time it's about WeChat."

"Instant messaging software in the mobile Internet era is so tempting."

"If it were just a baby in swaddling clothes, maybe they wouldn't be interested, but now that it has grown to a stage that cannot be ignored, it is necessary to get in touch with it no matter what."

Yao Yuanyuan blinked, feeling a little shocked.

“Is it possible that WeChat can still get support from there?”

"Why not?" Pei Qinglan glanced at her and chuckled, "There is a degree in Kyoto, Alibaba in Hangzhou, and Tengxin in Pengcheng, so why can't there be stars in Shanghai?"
