What’s Wrong With Me Being a Rich Man?

Chapter 106 Heart-wrenching

Capital is taking action today.

"Qunar"'s C round of financing is temporarily stuck, and "Bai Xiaosheng"'s A round of financing probably became the company's last move before the New Year.

As the person in charge of the investigation of Bai Xiaosheng's relevant situation, Liu Jiankai naturally invested and conquered.

On January 11, he made an appointment with a NetEase reporter to conduct an interview in the afternoon.

At 2:30 pm, after watching a movie in the office, Liu Jiankai called out his new assistant Pang Haiyi and seriously asked him a question.

"Xiao Pang, what brand of electric car is more useful?"

Pang Haiyi thought he was called to ask about information about Bai Xiaosheng, but he didn't expect that when he heard such a question, he had obvious confusion in his expression.

Liu Jiankai said seriously: "My wife sent me a text message at noon. I thought about it and it seems that you understand this person I know."

Pang Haiyi was stunned for two seconds before he had the urge to fight with the rich.

He took a deep breath and introduced the battery car he had used and stolen. He still cherished the opportunity to work in today's capital.

Liu Jiankai nodded, summed up briefly, and sent the answer to his wife.

Then, he said, "You are now writing a manuscript that is optimistic about the development of social platforms in the workplace. Well, NetEase's reporters should come in half an hour."

Pang Haiyi looked at the vice president in disbelief, and he was a little suspicious that the other party was making things difficult for him.

I'm going to have an interview in half an hour, so let me write it now?

Liu Jiankai noticed the new assistant's little emotion and smiled and said, "You can write whatever you want, and you can edit it. The format must be correct. I will give a copy to the reporter at the end of the interview. This is not important, what is important is our optimistic attitude. That's it."

Pang Haiyi made the meeting minutes yesterday morning and knew about the company's negotiations with Bai Xiaosheng. He opened his notebook and asked carefully: "Mr. Liu, are we going to show good things for investing in Bai Xiaosheng?"

"Hmm? Oh, no." Liu Jiankai shook his head, "Where do you want to go? Bai Xiaosheng didn't agree yesterday. There was no show of kindness. Instead, we had to tell each other and quickly agree. After passing this village, there would be no store. Now."

Pang Haiyi didn't understand much.

Liu Jiankai likes the new assistant's quickness, so he said patiently: "Look at how many times Bai Xiaosheng has had contacts with NetEase, and its chairman comes from NetEase again. He must be very concerned about NetEase's reports, or, they Those who do this must also pay great attention to the industry trends."

"We can accept interviews and express our optimism about workplace social interactions, and we should also name Skynet's development in China, but we will not mention Bai Xiaosheng's new website."

Pang Haiyi understood: "Do you want to intimidate Bai Xiaosheng?"

"That's right, Bai Xiaosheng likes to use public opinion, so I'll also give some public opinion movement. I'm an investor. Can't I express my optimism about which field?" Liu Jiankai smiled, "The mechanism for Bai Xiaosheng's development to this day is not the case. What is difficult thing that can be done, can’t Skynet do it?”

Pang Haiyi wanted to speak but stopped.

"It's okay, just say it if you want." Liu Jiankai signaled his assistant to pour him a cup of coffee.

After a while, Pang Haiyi put the coffee in front of the boss. Seeing that he was in a good mood, he said his thoughts: "Even if it is the same mechanism, the effect of different people using it is different, and Skynet may not be able to do it. Bai Xiaosheng is so good. It is so sluggish that it is about to be acquired now. There must be many reasons for its flaws."

"You said it well, but this will bring changes and threats. What does Skyrim do not do well have to do with us? We just clicked the window paper, and may not really throw it into it." Liu Jiankai took a sip of coffee and said, "Construction is difficult to build. , but it’s easy to destroy, and smart people know this.”

Pang Haiyi was slightly shocked. Skynet has flaws and may not be able to do it well, but if it is done, Bai Xiaosheng's competitive pressure will definitely increase.

In the final analysis, Bai Xiaosheng's entrepreneurial team does not have relevant background or halo, and Skynet has both time and qualifications and the core team is also a veteran in the industry. What if it is really a layer of window paper?

If you change to another institution, you will have two letters of financing intention on the table at the same time. Their tendencies may be more inclined to the Skynet.

Bai Xiaosheng is now in a time when he lacks time. Once the gap cannot be widened in the short term, if a website with a similar mechanism really appears, it is likely to be the forefront of the king.

At least, there is such a risk.

Pang Haiyi thought about it carefully and couldn't help asking again: "Mr. Liu, what if Bai Xiaosheng's people are not smart enough?"

"Not smart enough?" Liu Jiankai said with a smile, "That's right, it means we shouldn't invest. It has been eliminated, and we will continue to look for the next opportunity with the money."

Pang Haiyi let out a small sigh.

Liu Jiankai thought the assistant's expression was very interesting and laughed: "Look at what can be alive in this market. Who is not smart? Those who are not smart are gone."

He smiled and shook his head: "Besides, I don't think that Yu Xing looks like an unwise person."

Liu Jiankai spread his hands: "We didn't do anything too much, but there was a shadow flashing between us. If we shake hands with each other, it would be like sunshine falling down and all the shadows disappeared."

"Entrepreneurs have a broad mind and ambition, and everyone can continue to play with peace of mind."

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't have a strong mind. Once he gets the shares, he has to work hard for his shares."

"Communicate with each other, cooperate with each other, don't be afraid of setbacks, pay attention to the development of overall interests. Isn't this what everyone wants?"

Liu Jiankai signaled his assistant to start working, and there was not much time left to write manuscripts.

Pang Haiyi took a breath, his heart calmed down, and he had already fully understood how to write this speech.

At the same time, he knew that the boss taught him a lesson. It was obviously just a normal action, but it turned into a fight between soft and hard without breaking it.

The company just made an implicit request, and the other party should be smart enough.

The next day, NetEase's interview with the vice president of Capital Today, which mentioned the confidence in economic recovery after the financial crisis, and also gave examples of their optimism about workplace social interaction under the current circumstances.

And, Liu Jiankai praised the development of Skynet by pointing out the name.

Another day later, Bai Xiaosheng didn't make any noise, and today's Capital received a call from Tianji.com.

As a company struggling on the verge of being acquired, Skynet is quite surprised by the optimism from capital and sincerely hopes to communicate.

Liu Jiankai was quite amused and could only let him go and make an appointment to chat after the New Year.

In another day, Bai Xiaosheng still had no movement.

Liu Jiankai is now a little confused. He can't he really have a elm head, right?

He thought about it again and again, fearing that a group of college students who had just come out of campus would be too kind to imagine, so he asked his assistant Pang Haiyi to register a certification account directly with Bai Xiaosheng and then reprint NetEase's news.

You can't be invisible like this, right?

Although this is not subtle enough and seems a bit deliberate, we still strive for the goal of win-win results when we discuss with each other.

If it really doesn't work, Liu Jiankai can still make a phone call before the New Year to bluntly express the competitive pressure in the market.

Such a look may not be that good-looking, but it can also be regarded as giving each other a chance to shake hands.

On January 14, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Xiaosheng's presidential office.

"Senior brother, there is a reprinted post from today's capital employees on the website, which is the NetEase report." Lu Haiying walked into the office and mentioned the latest situation.

Yu Xing just said "um" and continued to concentrate on reading Xiaoying's emails.

Lu Haiying did not leave. As soon as NetEase reported on the news about today's capital, he noticed it and reported it to his senior brother, but he didn't say much.

Two days later, there was another movement in capital today, so she wanted to hear more of her senior brother's opinions.

Five minutes later, Yu Xing closed the web page, looked at the second-in-command, and said lightly: "Look, when capital wants to make money, it doesn't care how we view it. Whether it's despicable or noble, it just needs to achieve its goal."

Lu Haiying deeply agrees.

Although she didn't hear her senior brother's thoughts at the first time, she discussed this with Zhong Zhiling, which shows what Capital wants to do today.

Yu Xing continued: "Last year, Liu Qiangdong said something to me on the phone, he told me to be careful of investors, saying that they are all cunning, and I asked the package not to include Xu Xin, he just smiled and did not have a clear answer. ”

Lu Haiying frowned and said, "The answer is very clear now."

"Yes, it's very clear. No matter who it is, whether it's an investor or ourselves, as long as we want to make money, we must try our best to do everything possible. This is not surprising, but it's just that when we meet, we can better confirm each other." Yu Xing smiled and said, "Fortunately, investors are just a broad concept, and they are not one. I was still considering how to communicate with Shen Nanpeng this morning, and I have already thought about it." Lu Haiying didn't wait until her senior brother said his thoughts. She thought for a while and asked with some concern: "What if Capital really invested in Skynet today, or found someone to build a website like ours?"

"Looking for someone to do business, well, investors are not doing temporary business after all, they need to have a reputation. This possibility is relatively small, but it is not ruled out that it invests in Skynet, or sells personal favors and puts our things and it Explain thoroughly. "Yu Xing lowered his expectations and said seriously, "If that is the case, we only need to have new investors and as long as we have new money in, we don't have to worry."

"If the skynet is to do it, then we will do it. If the earthnet is to come, then we will do it."

"There is no Xu Xin, and Liu Xin, and Xiaoying is helping us find money."

"What's the point of a little competition?"

"We must have confidence in our careers and the will to compete, otherwise we may not be able to go as far as we can in the end."

Yu Xing smiled and said, "This is a common encouragement."

Lu Haiying was quite excited and nodded vigorously.

Yu Xing waited until the second in command walked out of the office and opened the web page again, clicked into the email address, and read the message from Liu Wanying again.

In two hours, Guoshanfeng Research Company will release Focus Media's research report on its newly launched official website, but this is a brief version of the report to attract funds from the media and the market.

At the latest Friday, the official website will release the full version of the research report, and will also require attorneys to report anonymously to the SEC of the American Securities and Exchange Commission.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Yu Xing learned about a small easter egg from Liu Wanying. If his side causes the SEC to successfully execute a fine of more than $1 million, it is possible to receive 10%-30% of the fine as a reward.

"We will make public first and then contact us. Can we get money?" Yu Xing raised his doubts.

"I don't know, try my best to do my best." Liu Wanying answered very honestly, "It's my first time, everyone can try it."

This is the first action to cross the mountain, and everyone is exploring.

At 5:30 pm, Yu Xing refreshed the page and saw the first time he had sent a message from the mountain peak.

Then…

There is nothing else.

Even the Xiangjiang media is not so fast, and stakeholders also have no time to react.

Half an hour later, Yu Xing called Liu Wanying: "How is it? What's going on now? Will there be any movement in the Nasdaq stock market at night?"

"Wait, but it probably won't have any impact. It's good to be seen by people from the Focus Media now." Liu Wanying said calmly, "We have no influence, but the facts are facts, and its value will not be ignored. .”

She asked again, "How is your financing?"

Yu Xing gave the same answer: "Wait...I'm waiting too. I just sent a message to Shen Nanpeng, but he didn't reply to me."

One in Xiangjiang and one in Shencheng, the two fell into the same waiting situation.

As expected, the Nasdaq that night was not in any way, and the information from a small website in the far east did not constitute influence.

But as midnight approached, Yu Xing received a reply from Shen Nanpeng.

He simply replied a few words: OK, let me see.

So, Yu Xing was able to fall asleep that night.

On January 15, there are still 10 days left before the Lunar New Year.

Xu Xin was already arranging her colleagues’ holiday, but unexpectedly received a call from Sequoia China Shen Nanpeng at 9:30 in the morning.

After the greetings, Shen Nanpeng made the point and asked carefully: "Mr. Xu, how did you consider this round of investment in JD?"

Xu Xin smiled and said, "If you vote, just vote. You rejected Liu Qiangdong."

Shen Nanpeng knew that this kind of dialogue must first show his sincerity: "Mr. Xu, Liu Qiangdong has come to me, but I was very hesitant before, and I wanted to invest but not, so I still didn't invest in the end."

Xu Xin listens to the following.

"Sequoia held an annual CEO meeting of our investment company in Beijing before. Everyone talked a lot and they all felt that the situation in 2009 would not be good."

"The impact of the financial crisis is too great, and its chill is colder than in winter, so I didn't invest."

When Xu Xin heard this, she asked, "If you don't make a shot, you won't make a shot. Then what are you still struggling with?"

"I'm a little confused and curious, so I want to hear your idea of ​​deciding to invest." Shen Nanpeng asked.

Xu Xin was silent for a while and said, "The pessimism in the market will be mutually infectious, but I think sometimes investment requires overcoming one's own fear."

She slowly asked a question: "Mr. Shen, I want to know how you judge JD.com yourself, and does the CEOs' emotions just give you an excuse to not vote?"

Shen Nanpeng was stunned and suddenly felt palpitations.

He admitted a few seconds later, "I think JD.com is facing a lot of competition. Gome, Suning and Alibaba are really a little confused."

"So, the opposite of you is not that JD.com will definitely win, but I think as long as JD.com will not lose quickly in the competition between Gome, Suning and Alibaba, the reward it can bring will satisfy me." Xu Xin shared his opinion, "The global economic situation needs time to recover, but I think our investment in JD can go through this cycle."

Shen Nanpeng sighed and said honestly: "Mr. Xu, I had only had a little bit of entanglement, but now it has become a lot of regrets."

Xu Xin laughed: "Then you can wait for the next round."

Shen Nanpeng sighed again, it would be no longer the same price in the next round.

He didn't end the call, and asked, "Oh yes, there is another small project. Do you want to invest in Bai Xiaosheng?"

Xu Xin was surprised: "Why are you interested in it?"

"Its founder sent me a message saying that you capital wants to invest in the A round today and asked me if I am interested." Shen Nanpeng replied.

Xu Xin was still surprised: "Send a message and you are interested?"

"That's how he posted it." Shen Nanpeng retelled, "Mr. Shen, you have missed JD.com, and I hope you don't miss us again."

Xu Xin was stunned. She felt a bit familiar with stabbing. No wonder Shen Nanpeng talked about JD.com.

She disdains to lie and admits, "It's true that this is not yet agreed."

"Then I'll ask someone to negotiate the price?" Shen Nanpeng didn't hesitate to ask for advice.

Xu Xin was a little helpless: "Do you understand, just go and negotiate the price?"

Shen Nanpeng smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, I believe in today's capital."

Capital has already conducted research today.

Xu Xin was speechless.

She was silent for two seconds and said, "This is an investment with a little risk."

"I just asked someone to ask, even if you don't want to, you won't bid maliciously." Shen Nanpeng said, "It's really not possible. Let's get together, everyone told me not to miss the next JD."

Xu Xin replied concisely: "Okay."
