What’s Wrong With Me Being a Rich Man?

Chapter 215: Breaking Mirror Reunion

Yu Xing and Xu Xin are "reunited with broken mirrors". Although the repaired mirror is full of cracks, they are barely considered complete.

The reason is that there are greater common interests on both sides.

Bai Xiaosheng's development is booming, and although the world is neither black nor white, Yu Xing insists on "white" stance, and even if Xu Xin continues to be entangled, it will be useless.

The loss, the loss, the time to look forward if you go in.

After all, the new year is coming, although it is the Gregorian calendar, but... this is the New Year...

This is the Chinese New Year, just look at the troublesome and lively others.

As an outsider, neither of them left Lin'an immediately. Yu Xing talked to the deputy director of operations of Taobao Mall to talk about his ideas, and Xu Xin met an entrepreneur in Lin'an and talked about new projects.

By the evening, Yu Xing and Xu Xin had dinner again. One brought Zhong Zhiling, who had just arrived in Lin'an to do the market, and the other brought his capable deputy Liu Jiankai, to continue the desire of both parties to repair their relationship.

The Alipay incident provides a lot of topics, and Bai Xiaosheng's development is also worth summarizing. The more you chat with this, the more you talk, it feels like the friendship between the two sides is like the first meeting. Oh no, their first meeting seems to be not very pleasant. It's like the friendship between the two sides.

However, the cracks in the mirror were inevitably attacked on the last night of 2009.

Yu Xing mentioned the change of host and guest positions between Alibaba and Yahoo: "Ali was like a grandson back then, but now he is going to be a grandfather. According to Yahoo's decline, he might be able to be acquired in the future."

"It's not that there is no such possibility." Xu Xin agreed and said, "So, Bai Xiaosheng has to grab more share in the recruitment market this year and turn it over as a grandfather as soon as possible."

"Then I'm just a good grandson now. Well, I can't be a grandfather. What would it be like if I become a grandfather?" Yu Xing said with a smile.

Xu Xin nodded: "Yes, your grandson is quite stubborn. Forget it, let's do it. You are the founder of Bai Xiaosheng."

You scold me, I mock you, everyone laughed and greeted the old and welcomed the new.

Liu Jiankai next to him listened to the occasionally mixed sticks in the lively chatting of the two, and inevitably lamented that they were still very well-educated at a certain stage.

However, as he listened, a sentence suddenly popped up: "Mr. Yu, I think you have cared about the mountains."

Yu Xing reflected on his heart and asked calmly: "Is that true? Is there any?"

Liu Jiankai nodded and confirmed that this is the case. From yesterday to today, President Yu has shown greater attention to the mountains.

"After all, he is the intelligence leader. There is no news of the mountain peak. I'm still a little dissatisfied and unwilling to accept it." Xu Xin could understand this situation and gave a logical explanation. "If President Ma asked in person yesterday, President Yu would say directly The clues that have come out of the mountain are very powerful.”

Yu Xing nodded in contempt: "It's Sister Xin, your eyes are too vicious!"

Xu Xin smiled slightly, after all, she had a lot of life experience.

She said: "However, it is difficult for short sellers like Shanfeng to find out clues. You see, it has caused such a big storm several times in a row, but the company may only have a few people, similar to our investments, so it doesn't need to be that at all. There are many people, and some research verifications can be done with temporary teams."

Yu Xing continued to respect him, quickly put it in the wine and toasted Sister Xin with a glass.

Liu Jiankai looked at the two of them now, and looked at them with the trend and mentioned the old things again: "Yes, sometimes I am confused about the success or failure and prospects of the project. Mr. Xu has to speak to the point, so, When Mr. Xu talks about some things, he always hopes to avoid detours. Mr. Yu, this is not aimed at you, but more of a kind of concern. We 100% hope that Bai Xiaosheng will succeed. At the same time, we also hope that Mr. Yu can Understand our position.”

"I understand, I understand, but..." Yu Xing felt that things were back again and said in embarrassment, "You also know that Bai Xiaosheng's mechanism is like this, and the things Bai Xiaosheng discovered are their problems. The essence of it is not us, it lies in themselves, and it also means that there are already many contradictions within it, just one day earlier or one day later.”

Xu Xin smiled at this time, "At least, if you can tell me at that time, I won't be so angry."

Yu Xing thought for a while and agreed, "Sister Xin, you have to be so upset. Then I will try my best to change it in the future and try to change it within the range I think is suitable. Of course, what I hope is that Bai Xiaosheng is the best. There will be no more events related to today's capital like True Attack Hu. "

As Sister Xin said, at least I would like to know her.

This is not difficult, but I just said that it will not change if I know this.

Liu Jiankai glanced at Yu Xing suspiciously.

Xu Xin didn't want to mention the past at this time, but just said, "We understand each other, and it's not easy for each other. Look at Ma Yi. He has reached this point, but there are still many people who can't help themselves."

Zhong Zhiling said when he heard this: "Mr. Ma couldn't help but want to transfer the equity perfectly and avoid the control of the major shareholder. But he didn't say that when he received hundreds of millions of dollars four or five years ago. If so, I also want to do anything. "

Yu Xing said happily: "So, he is not being scolded now."

He is being scolded, and he is being scolded by domestic and foreign media.

Some talk about integrity issues, some talk about contract spirit, and some believe that this matter will inevitably cause lasting damage to Alibaba's global reputation.

Even some investors holding Yahoo stocks have joined forces to launch a lawsuit.

2009 of Hong Kong stocks has come to an end. The US stock market will perform for one night due to the jet lag. Even though it is the New Year's Day holiday when both sides are closed, the verbal battle between Alibaba and Yahoo obviously will not stop with the holiday.

Yu Xing was generally happy about chatting and drinking this night.

If possible, he is certainly willing to maintain a good relationship with investors, because this means that the difficulty of subsequent financing will be further reduced.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the wine party, which was close to the New Year's Eve, ended.

Yu Xing and Zhong Zhiling returned to the hotel, still very clear-headed.

Zhong Zhiling spoke to his girlfriend Lu Haiying at such a special moment. When he returned to the suite, he saw that his senior brother was not sleeping, but also sat in front of his laptop and flirted with bright eyes.

He looked closer and saw some media reports about short selling on Shanfeng.

— Crossing the mountain is a poisonous snake lurking in the capital market!

—The perfect three-combo in 2009!

—Deception lasts forever!

Zhong Zhiling couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Xing, you are really interested in this short seller."

Yu Xing said "um" and browsed the media's praise on both sides, giving a sense of aftertaste of the crime scene.

Of course, this is actually not as good as my own witness of Mr. Ma’s performance on stage on the day of the industry summit.

Tsk, it's hard to describe.

"Mr. Xu said, there may be only a few short sellers, maybe only one person. Even if they are from our country, they are still looking for needles in a haystack. Brother Xing, don't think about finding clues. I feel that even if I come to the pursuit order again, I feel that , there is no news," Zhong Zhiling said.

"Yes, looking for a needle in a haystack is so mysterious. I really don't know who is behind it and where it is hidden." Yu Xingyouran said, "Even, maybe it's in Shencheng, just the passers-by we usually pass by. "He joked, "Maybe, it can be you."

Zhong Zhiling laughed and said relaxedly: "It's okay if I really have that ability. You talk about me, and I'll talk about you."

He took two steps, poured a glass of water for his senior brother, leaned against the table next to him, and asked, "Brother Xing, I see Mr. Xu is not angry at all now. I feel that we can start financing in the second quarter."

"People just remember to eat but not to beat them. Just have something to eat." Yu Xing said this and agreed, "Well, we should be able to go through the financing process in the second quarter. Our performance this year has obtained IDG, Today's Capital, Qiming Venture Capital’s recognition.”

As of the last day of 2009, Bai Xiaosheng still had 29.4 million yuan in his account, and it would be amazing to maintain the company's healthy operation for at least 11 months.

In particular, Bai Xiaosheng has delivered 31.35 million in revenue in the past year, which is very impressive.

However, 17.16 million of revenue belongs to "non-operating income", which comes from the sale of two assets. One is that BiPin.com sells it to Alibaba for 6.66 million, and the other is that it resells the exclusive online copyright of "You're the One".

In comparison, the revenue of the main business is 14.19 million, which is not as good as non-operating income. It looks quite subtle, including 5.29 million advertising revenue and 8.9 million recruitment revenue.

A side job can make money even more money than a main job...

The shareholders of the three institutions expressed similar amusement.

Yu Xing's explanation for this is a coincidence.

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

Moreover, although you sell too much, you don’t generate much profit. For example, the copyright that you sells is expensive and you buy is expensive. The profit in the middle is used as salary for recruiting executives.

"With another round of financing, we will have sufficient bullets to leverage the share of the recruitment market, but next year, we will continue to improve the downward strategy and there is no need to rush to provoke the war." Zhong Zhiling thought carefully about the company's development strategy.

Yu Xing turned his head and gave a praising look.

Financing is to gain confidence in doing things, but you don’t have to hurry up.

After taking two sips of tea, he suddenly mentioned the brief conversation with Ma Yi before: "Ma Yi said that I am a **** for Bai Xiaosheng, so I can magnify what I can do, and let go of my hands and feet, tsk..."

Zhong Zhiling smelled a hint of vague meaning, and after a while of silence, he asked, "Brother Xing, do you want to try e-commerce?"

Yu Xing knew that he guessed that because he talked about a lot of vertical e-commerce this year, he laughed and said, "No, Taobao and JD are developing so well, why am I going to do e-commerce?"

Zhong Zhiling nodded. Although he felt that LeTao.com, which has a vertical model, has a certain potential, it is still very painful for e-commerce that is shrouded in the shadow of giants.

"If possible, let Bai Xiaosheng take out some more money and we incubate it internally. Well, it's similar to the price comparison website. We incubate a mobile communication tool." Yu Xing slowly said about the plan for the new year .

Zhong Zhiling thought for a few seconds and asked, "Mobile communication tools? Do you still need to let the company provide non-operating income?"

"Yeah." Yu Xing simply turned around and looked at the third in command, "The company will invest a little, but it won't account for too much. You and Xiaoying can also invest money in it. It is probably a communication tool that benchmarks Feixin's. .”

Zhong Zhiling pondered, Feixin...

Of course he knew that Feixin was his mobile number and he used it to send free text messages.

Yu Xing said again: "You can also compare Penguin's QQ to test how much energy the giant is and whether it can kill small companies."

Zhong Zhiling looked at his senior brother blankly, what do you mean by this...

He saw the seriousness on his senior brother's face, and he was stunned for a few seconds and said, "Brother Xing, Ma Yi asked you to let go, not to let you get rid of your hands and feet... Do you want to try how much energy the penguin is? What you mean is , do you want to compete head-on with Penguin’s QQ? ”

Yu Xing shook his head: "Penguin's QQ is so fancy. Many users may just need a simple communication software in the mobile Internet era."

Zhong Zhiling stared at the senior brother who brought him from campus to society, thinking that he really dared to think, and it seemed that he really dared to do it.

He said tactfully: "Brother Xing, if this happens, Bai Xiaosheng can't invest too much money. If this fails, will it affect the subsequent financing? Will it encounter investors' doubts..."

Yu Xing smiled and said, "Do you still remember Guiai.com? Remember the process of making it into a product? I am just a preliminary idea now. Maybe I can still sell it like this once, and wait for the New Year to see it."

When Zhong Zhiling heard his senior brother's statement, he felt relieved. It was difficult for him to imagine how to compete head-on with Penguin, but he had seen and personally experienced the process of "Guiai.com" being polished and sold, which is easy to understand.

He thought for a while and felt that his senior brother might have been dazzled by the excellent results of "non-operating income" this year, so he thought about continuing to incubate the side business projects in 2010.

Can it be done?

Zhong Zhiling was lying on the bed at night, thinking about this matter carefully. He didn't understand what it felt like when competing with Penguin, but he knew the senior brother.

Perhaps, you can invest your own money as well.

If you don’t say you make more money, at least you won’t lose money.

Zhong Zhiling firmly believes that his senior brother will not harm him. If he feels like this, he must have failed to understand it well.

…

On the afternoon of the first day of 2010, Yu Xingcai took a car back to Shencheng.

Zhong Zhiling came to Lin'an for a business trip, and Song Yufeng had already gone back early, so he and his secretary drove back.

By the time he arrived in Shencheng, it was almost 6 o'clock. Zhang Yangxu got off at the subway entrance. Yu Xing drove alone to find Xiaoying, one of the masterminds behind the mountain peak.

There is light rain in Shencheng today, and the cold wind is wrapped with fine raindrops, as if it is covering the bustling metropolis with a layer of cold gauze.

Yu Xing parked the car in the parking space and knew that Xiaoying was buying vegetables in the supermarket, so she didn't rush to get on.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Yu Xing saw Liu Wanying returning with a bag of vegetables. She was wearing a slim khaki windbreaker today and a loose milky white scarf wrapped around her neck.

Liu Wanying walked under the street lights, with a few strands of hair blowing by the wind, her steps in the drizzle were light, and her windbreaker swung gently. When she saw Yu Xing, she threw a charming look and looked very free and easy.

"Very successful?" Yu Xing looked at this scene, and while admiring it, he still asked about the results of the battle.

Liu Wanying's smile passed through the cold wind: "Yes, when I woke up today, I looked at the world and it seemed that everything was completely different."
