Chapter 421: Rise Up
In the evening, Liu Qiangdong invited Lin Weidong to the hotel for dinner and asked Lin Weidong: "Lin Dong, are we two drinking Moutai or Yanghe tonight?"
Lin Weidong felt that when he was with Ma Xiaoyun, Guo Guangchang, and Huang Zhongjun, he often drank Moutai, and it was good to change his taste occasionally.
What's more, the taste of Yanghe is not bad, it is still Liu Qiangdong's hometown wine, and this bit of face is still given to him.
Thinking of this, Lin Weidong said: "Drink Yanghe." ”
"Okay, listen to you, just drink Yanghe tonight and have a good drink. Liu Qiangdong said, and asked the waiter to serve two bottles of Yanghe wine.
Maybe it's because they are both children from the countryside and have similar entrepreneurial experiences, Liu Qiangdong always feels that he and Lin Weidong are very close and have many common topics.
Therefore, Liu Qiangdong invited Lin Weidong to dinner, not only because Lin Weidong invested in Jingdong, but also because of the friendship between the two parties.
Lin Weidong smiled and waved his hand: "I can't drink more tonight, just drink a bottle, next time you come to Shanghai, we will make an appointment." ”
Liu Qiangdong poured wine and said, "Lin Dong, it's rare for you to come to the capital, if you don't drink enough, then I can't entertain you well." ”
Lin Weidong pretended to sigh helplessly: "Hey, there's no way, I also want to have a few more drinks with you, but I have to accompany my girlfriend tonight, so I really can't drink more." ”
Hearing Lin Weidong's words, Liu Qiangdong immediately became interested, put down the wine bottle, and after a toast with Lin Weidong, he asked curiously: "Lin Dong, your girlfriend is also in the capital, what does she do?"
Lin Weidong didn't hide it, and said calmly: "Acting." ”
Liu Qiangdong looked at Lin Dong in disbelief: "Actress?"
Lin Weidong nodded: "Yes." ”
"Lin Dong, you cow, really good!" Liu Qiangdong said, and couldn't help but give Lin Weidong a thumbs up.
Looking at Liu Qiangdong's look of worship, Lin Weidong said angrily and funny: "What's so awesome about this, you can do the same." ”
In fact, Liu Qiangdong can also hear that Lin Weidong is comforting himself, with his current conditions and abilities, he can't afford to be a female star.
Moreover, Liu Qiangdong is from a rural area after all, and his dream is as simple as many rural children, that is, to marry a school girl wife who is both talented and beautiful.
As for female stars or something, in Liu Qiangdong's view, it is just an unattainable dream, which has nothing to do with him, and is not a person of the world at all.
However, Liu Qiangdong is still very curious about who Lin Weidong's girlfriend is, whether she is a big star or a small actor, and whether he knows it.
Under Liu Qiangdong's tireless questioning, Lin Weidong also felt that there was no need to deliberately conceal it, and told him the truth: "Gao Yuanyuan, do you know you?"
Liu Qiangdong was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, this is not just acquaintance, it is simply his dream lover, his aesthetics, like most straight men, think that Gao Yuanyuan is an approachable beauty.
"Lin Dong, Gao Yuanyuan is really your girlfriend?" Liu Qiangdong looked at Lin Weidong with some shock.
Lin Weidong lit a cigarette and said, "Yes, is there any problem?"
"No problem, how can it be a problem. Liu Qiangdong shook his head and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Lin Dong, you are really my role model! I didn't expect that even a big beauty like Gao Yuanyuan can be soaked in it!
Lin Weidong said disappreciatively: "What's the matter, I have been with her for several years, and I was already with her before I started a business." ”
Liu Qiangdong originally thought that Lin Weidong could soak Gao Yuanyuan because he was rich and powerful, but after listening to Lin Weidong's words, Liu Qiangdong realized that Gao Yuanyuan was not with Lin Weidong because he was rich and powerful.
This makes Liu Qiangdong feel amazing, because in his cognition, the fate of almost all female stars is to retire at the peak of their careers, and then marry into a wealthy family to be a rich wife.
So, Liu Qiangdong humbly asked Lin Weidong for advice: "Lin Dong, how did you and Gao Yuanyuan meet? Can you teach me? I also want to be like you and make a female star as a girlfriend." ”
Lin Weidong replied with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing special, we were friends at first, and then we slowly got acquainted with each other, and then we confirmed the relationship." ”
"Love over time?"
"Almost, but it was love at first sight for her. ”
After listening to Lin Weidong's answer, Liu Qiangdong didn't know what to say, he was really more popular than people, if it was him, he might be embarrassed to talk to Gao Yuanyuan.
After drinking a bottle of Yanghe wine, Lin Weidong said goodbye first.
Seeing Lin Weidong's dashing back leaving, Liu Qiangdong secretly swore in his heart: "Dongzi, you must fight for breath, you must be as successful as Lin Dong!"
"What Lin Dong can do, you Liu Qiangdong can do too!"
"You are not stupider than him, he was just an ordinary normal student back then, but you are a proud son of heaven who was admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, and finally chose to go to the National People's Congress!
Ten days later.
Under the introduction of a friend, Liu Qiangdong met Xu Xin of Today's Capital.
After the meeting, Liu Qiangdong talked about Jingdong's business model with Xu Xin in detail.
Xu Xin was very excited, pulled Liu Qiangdong, and said, "You go to meet my two partners with me now, I can't be the master alone, take a plane." ”
Liu Qiangdong scratched his head and said, "I haven't taken a plane, let's take a bus, I don't want to spend money on a plane." ”
So, Xu Xin bought him a plane ticket.
Seeing that Jingdong was growing so fast, Xu Xin's partner immediately decided to invest and invested 10 million US dollars in Liu Qiangdong, accounting for 30% of the shares.
Liu Qiangdong was very happy, he really didn't expect Jingdong to be so valuable.
It was only at this time that Liu Qiangdong realized that he had sold his shares to Lin Weidong before, and he had sold it at a loss.
Of course, Liu Qiangdong also knows very well that without Lin Weidong's investment, Jingdong may even go bankrupt.
Come to think of it. Liu Qiangdong asked Xu Xin: "Cancy, I only have one house in the capital, if I lose all the money, I can't afford to pay you back anyway." ”
Xu Xin smiled and said, "It's okay, we are venture capital, and we won't look for you if we lose money." ”
Liu Qiangdong thought to himself, how can there be such a stupid person?
Of course, Xu Xin is definitely not that stupid, he can't just throw his money out casually, what if it goes down the drain?
As a result, Xu Xin also signed a decent VAM agreement with Liu Qiangdong, stipulating what will be JD's sales performance in the next 5 years, what the gross profit will be, how much will it cost to account for 10% of the shares if it is reached, and what if it can't be reached.
When Liu Qiangdong saw the gambling agreement, he began to secretly enjoy in his heart, which can be completed with his eyes closed, which is less than 20% of the five-year plan formulated by JD.com.
But Liu Qiangdong still pretended to be very painful, and said with a sad face: "It's a bit difficult, but it's not impossible, I signed it." ”
