You're forcing me to be reborn, right?

The conference room fell into a brief silence.

Even Yue Dongyi felt that Cheng Zhu's words were a bit too direct, but this was a real fact.

There is a saying that "the butt determines the head", and everyone present is not the kind of person who will be slandered by this saying, because they are all capital,

not poor workers.

At this moment, Yue Dongyi and Wang Zeng looked at each other. The two middle-aged men felt that the young man in front of them really didn't look like he was not yet 20 years old.

Although his words were realistic and cruel, they were indeed the development trend of society in the next few years.

This year, the internal circulation is very serious.

All kinds of circulation, even praising circulation.

Leaders also like to play pua and draw cakes, but many people still take the bait.

Like Cheng Zhu said, "When the cows and horses are tired, they will order themselves a cup of coffee and milk tea", it is definitely a common phenomenon.

And there will be more and more cows and horses like this.

Sometimes this world is so fucked up.

When you go to consume, the salesperson tells you: labor costs are very expensive.

When you go to work, you are just a cheap laborer.

Of course, all this is not in the consideration of these investors. They only know that many people order milk tea and coffee to refresh themselves, and some people reward themselves for working hard.

What is the root cause here is actually not important.

What is important is that the demand is increasing year by year, and the market prospects of milk tea will get better year by year.

The value of labor has not increased much in recent years, but the traps of consumerism are more and more.

Many high-end consumer industries are easy to do, that is, they can make money from the pockets of young people. The characteristics of [new consumption] are not new, but responsibility!

It’s a pity that in the "consumption downgrade" in a few years, these industries will be backfired!

Next, Cheng Zhu continued to talk about the prospects of [Yuzu Tea] based on the not-so-exquisite PPT he made.

"Starting this year, the popularity of [Huabei] will begin to surge."

"Young people's consumption power will begin to expand further!"

"Everyone here should know that I am still an e-commerce company."

He paused for a moment, because the other three men present all showed a tacit smile on their faces.

However, his next sentence made Yue Dongyi and Wang Zeng stunned.

This year's Taobao Double Eleven, I expect sales to exceed 90 billion!

2

Good guy, you sell a QQ product and start to estimate the data for this year's Double Eleven?

But these two bigwigs in the investment industry are also familiar with some people in Alibaba, and they are clear about Alibaba's internal expectations for this year.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhu continued: "In addition, I expect that the consumption ratio of post-90s will exceed that of post-80s for the first time this year!"

"I have mentioned this to Mr. Yue before."

Yue Dongyi nodded.

He was actually a little curious, whether Cheng Zhu was also familiar with people in Alibaba?

He was very bold but also very perceptive. Cheng Zhu summarized: "So, in recent years, many people have mentioned the term [new consumption]. What is new is not just the products, but also the consumers!"

"I believe that the capital market has felt a little bit from last year to this year, especially this year!"

These young people are very willing to spend money!" Cheng Zhu raised his voice slightly.

This sentence can completely hit Wang Zeng's heart. Otherwise, he would not be so focused on the consumer market and always like to invest in some consumer products. Cheng Zhu talked about the future prospects of grapefruit tea for about ten minutes, which was very convincing.

In fact, attracting investment is a technical job.

Boss Jia should have a say in this.

Cheng Zhu also studied some of Boss Jia's videos in his previous life to learn some of his skills and rhetoric.

I just don't know when Boss Jia will return to China.

After Cheng Zhu finished speaking , Yue Dongyi and Wang Zeng asked several questions respectively. Cheng Zhu answered all these questions fluently. He was not ambiguous when answering. His tone was always very affirmative, expressing his strong confidence.

After the meeting, Shen Qingning and Shen Minglang stayed in the meeting room, while Cheng Zhu went to see Wang Zeng and Yue Dongyi off.

They both said that they would just let him see them to the elevator.

After entering the elevator, there were only Yue Dongyi and Wang Zeng in it.

Wang Zeng glanced at him and asked curiously: "When you invested in Yuzu Tea, did you invest in a project or a person?"

This actually contained appreciation for Cheng Zhu, otherwise he would not have said this.

Yue Dongyi said directly: "Both."

He believed that Wang Zeng must be very envious of him and Pulin Capital now.

Being able to participate in the first round of financing, the subsequent benefits are very scary. Wang Zeng also asked curiously: "What is your valuation expectation for Yuzu Tea in two years?"

Yue Dongyi said directly: "At least over 10 billion."

"A tea brand that breaks 10 billion? "Wang Zeng thought.

A year ago, this was something that no one would have thought about, and the capital would not have paid attention to such a rubbish project as the milk tea shop, let alone a valuation of 10 billion.

Don't you see which projects on the market are valued at 10 billion?

But now he is a little unsure.

"It doesn't seem impossible."

On the other side, after seeing off Yue Dongyi and Wang Zeng, Cheng Zhu did not rush back to the meeting room, but went to the bathroom to wash his face first.

The ice water washed over his face, making him a little more energetic.

He has been too busy recently, and he is actually very tired.

He recalled that the only relaxation during this period was to go to the Rose Garden counselor to provide some physical and mental guidance to the students in the class. It was also normal. The second round of financing is the top priority at this stage. , even Cheng Zhu had to brace himself up and pay great attention to it. After returning to the conference room, Shen Minglang glanced at Cheng Zhu and asked directly: "Cousin, your hair is wet, just now Are you so nervous and sweating so much? "

"Nerve, this is water. I just went to the bathroom to wash my face. I've been a little tired recently." Cheng Zhu said angrily.

When Shen Qingning heard this, she immediately looked at him carefully.

"Cheng Zhu looks a little haggard." She said in her heart.

After Cheng Zhu sat down in the main seat of the conference room, Shen Minglang asked curiously: "Cousin, do you plan to have Pulin Capital lead the investment or Red Mountain Capital lead the second round of financing?"

‘Red Mountain. "Cheng Zhu said directly.

"Then what do you think the valuation of Pomelo Tea will be after our second round of financing is completed? You must have psychological expectations, right?

Hearing this, Cheng Zhu smiled and said, "Cousin, although we are all alone in the room now, you are so direct in your question."

The arrogant girl murmured in her heart: "Who is the same as you?"

In the end, Cheng Zhu did not answer Shen Minglang's question, but said, "Actually, you are thinking about how much money your family will need to invest, right?"

"Ahem! Cousin, you are obviously more direct than me!"

Although those words were said, the eyes of both brother and sister were focused on Cheng Zhu.

He only gave one sentence: "If you are willing to pursue investment all the way, I will not dilute your shares."

This sentence undoubtedly put a big stone in the hearts of the brother and sister.

Shen Minglang also gave Shen Qingning an "I'll just say it" look, but was ignored by the cold girl.

"Ning Ning, my guess is correct, you don't need to belittle yourself!" He actually said this again in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhu changed the topic and started talking about the same thing again.

"To be honest, I mainly care about the personal value of the two of you."

"Cousin, you are now completing the most important work of Pomelo Tea besides my work. In the past few months, I have also seen the results of your work. Generally speaking, I am satisfied."

"Including Shen Qingning's wave of publicity at the concert, it was actually very good."

"The subsequent public opinions on the Internet have not had any impact on your life, right?" This bitch man also pretended to be concerned.

He occasionally read about the scandal between him and Shen Qingning on the Internet, and every time he read it, he felt happy.

It’s fun, sand sculpture online hair is so damn fun!

As for those CP gangsters who are addicted to their CP, Cheng Zhu only has one thought in his mind: "I guarantee that all your wishes will come true!"

Lock it up, lock me and Ning Ning up for the rest of our lives!

At this moment, the arrogant girl heard his sudden concern and said coldly: "No."

It really doesn't have much impact, that is, I can't read romance novels anymore. It depends on the fan fiction written by netizens, the scandals made up by netizens, and the photos of the two of them together.

Some netizens are really neurotic. Ever since Cheng Zhu’s photos went viral on the Internet, someone posted photos of his and Shen Qingning’s marriage certificate.

As a result, Shen Minglang, a big fool, said at this moment: "Hahaha! Netizens are really a bunch of lunatics. My cousin is obviously Lin Lu's boyfriend. Why are they spreading some scandal for no reason!"

"Especially those alumni from your Polytechnic University, each and every one of them speaks so coherently and as if it's true. Isn't this nonsense? Cheng Zhu:

"

Shen Qingning: ""

Since today is May 12th, it is a very special day, but for Ning Ning, today is actually also very special.

But after his brother said this, his mood immediately dropped a bit.

But fortunately, Shen Minglang participated in a meeting like today for the first time, and he still has unlimited imagination about the future of pomelo tea.

Therefore, he immediately changed the subject to the future and said, "Cousin, Ning Ning, do you think our pomelo tea will have a chance to go public in the future?"

Hearing this, Cheng Zhu immediately answered, changing the atmosphere, and said angrily: "If you really want to, it's not impossible in the future."

In his memory, in his previous life, [Nayuki’s Tea] was launched early and became the so-called No. 1 milk tea stock in the country.

Naixue's performance in all aspects, as well as a series of valuations later given by the capital market, are actually inferior to Heytea.

Therefore, when it comes to listing, we are particularly active and strive to win the first place.

But unfortunately, the performance after listing was extremely poor. After Naixue was listed, everyone thought that 80% of the second milk tea stocks were Heytea, or Gu Ming, Mixue, etc., but in fact, the second milk tea stocks were Tea Hundreds of ways.

However, as soon as Chabaidao was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, its stock price suffered a heavy drop on the first day. After the opening, the drop reached 38%.

many! The market value can be said to evaporate at the speed of light!

Cheng Zhu actually didn't say he was particularly eager to go public.

What's more, many of the information on these Internet celebrity brands are actually inflated and used to build momentum!

He is very clear about the major trends of the future.

In fact, the popularity period of new power tea brands is not particularly long. Brands that were once popular have begun to cut prices, and mid-range brands have begun to incur franchise fees, starting a price war over franchise fees. Chamomochi is no longer what it used to be. After the success of the company, the franchise exemption policy was launched.

For newly joined partners to open a store, the total fee reduction will be in the terrifying range of 40,000 to 270,000.

If old franchise partners open new stores, the total fee reduction will be between 90,000 and 180,000.

The late period of the Milk Tea 20s era was characterized by crazy price wars, and the same was true in the Milk Tea 30s era. However, when Shen Minglang heard Cheng Zhu casually say, "It's not impossible to go public," he was immediately filled with energy.

He is already eager to become a shareholder of a listed company.

No, I have to call Lao Shen now! "Shen Minglang became anxious in his heart.

He wanted to pretend to be cool with Lao Shen, and then convey his cousin's attitude to him, and then ask him to raise money for his son!

"Cousin, Ning Ning, you two talk first. I suddenly remembered something. I'll go outside and make a phone call." He stood up and said.

After saying that, he held up his cell phone and walked out proudly.

At this moment, Lao Shen actually just ended the call.

He had just gone to borrow money from Jiang Wanzhou's father.

The Shen family and the Jiang family are relatives. The Shen family's business portfolio is larger than that of the Jiang family, and their business is larger than that of the Jiang family. However, the Jiang family's cash flow is not as tight as the Shen family's, and they will have more cash on hand.

When he saw that the caller was Shen Minglang, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

"Hey, what's going on?" The middle-aged arrogant man said in an indifferent tone.

‘Dad, I just finished a meeting, and Yue Dongyi from Pulin Capital also came. "

"Well, what then?"

"Dad, please stop first and then guess who else is there!" Shen Minglang became excited.

The answer on the other end of the phone was silence.

The middle-aged and tsundere doesn't care about him at all, whether you like to talk or not.

Guess? Children, you still guess!

Time passed like this for more than ten seconds, and Shen Minglang actually asked cautiously: "Dad, are you listening, Dad."

Shen Guoqiang:

If it hadn't been a serious matter, he would have hung up the phone immediately.

This was because he had incomplete information. He didn't know that Ning Ning also came to the meeting.

Otherwise, Shen Guoqiang would definitely not answer the call, just hang up the call from Shen Minglang, and then call Shen Qingning.

Today is May 12th, a very special day for the Shen family. He would have gone home for dinner, so there was no need to rush this call.

Finally, Shen Minglang whispered softly: "It's Wang Zeng, from Red Mountain Capital. Is the signal here not good? It's really strange."

As a result, the next second, Shen Guoqiang: "Red Mountain Capital?"

Shen Minglang was slightly frightened.

"Dad, are you listening?"

"Wang Zeng from Red Mountain Capital? The one who invested in [Zhou Hei Ya]?" Shen Guoqiang ignored him at all and asked his own questions.

"Yes, it's him."

The other end of the phone soon fell silent again.

Shen Guoqiang felt a stronger sense of oppression and a greater sense of urgency in his heart.

The golden brand of Red Mountain Capital needs no introduction.

If Youcha's second round of financing is led by Red Mountain Capital, once this news is released, most of the investment community will be shocked!

This Internet celebrity milk tea brand will immediately become the darling of the capital market again.

Because the participants were too powerful, Shen Guoqiang felt a little nervous.

Fortunately, Shen Minglang immediately conveyed good news: "Dad, my cousin expressed his position to me and Ning Ning. He said that he has no idea of ​​diluting our shares. As long as we are willing to pursue investment, he is willing to let us hold the current shares." of."

This actually made the middle-aged and old arrogant a little unable to hold back: "Really?"

It was the first time Shen Minglang saw old Shen like this, and he immediately became excited again: "Can this be false? I thought you and Ning Ning were all unfounded.

He began to chat about his own opinions. In the process, he also quoted a few words from Cheng Zhu's original words at the meeting, and pretended to be second-hand.

Outside the conference room, the father and son were showing off their special skills on the phone. In the conference room, Cheng Zhu and Shen Qingning were alone in the same room after a long absence.

The two people who had developed a "lip friendship" in the car had not sat so close to each other like today for a long time.

Cheng Zhu looked at the girl who was dressed exquisitely and beautifully today and wore rimless glasses, and could see that she had no intention of actively looking for a topic.

The tsundere girl is as tsundere as ever.

But Cheng Zhu, a bitch like this, loved to bully her.

It's embarrassing for you, right? Let's just let it go.

He deliberately took out his mobile phone and started playing with it directly.

This caused a dead silence in the conference room.

Occasionally, I could only vaguely hear Shen Minglang's hearty laughter coming from outside the door, and I didn't know what he was laughing at.

In the end, everyone's long silence made Shen Qingning feel a little irritable and uncomfortable for no reason. Netizens were making up their sweet little daily life one by one.

But in reality?

We are speechless!

She said directly: "There should be nothing to do today, right? If nothing happens, I will go back first."

"Okay, there's nothing wrong." Cheng Zhu continued to play with his mobile phone and said without raising his head. Shen Qingning stood up, picked up the bag she had placed on another chair, turned and walked towards the door of the conference room.

Just when she was about to raise her hand to push the door open, she was suddenly stopped by Cheng Zhu.

"Wait a minute." Cheng Zhudao.

Shen Qingning looked back in confusion, and the coolness on her body became stronger.

She was dressed more formally today, and wore frameless glasses, which made her look quite imperial.

The arrogant girl didn't know why Cheng Zhu suddenly called her. She was also afraid that Cheng Zhu would say something embarrassing, such as mentioning the concert tickets.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhu slowly put down his phone, looked up at her, and said:

"Today is May 12th."

"Happy birthday."
