Although Li Feng is already an uncle in his thirties, he still can't help but beat faster for Xue Yingying, the former object of admiration.

It rained lightly on the street next week, and the two people shared a big umbrella, and neither of them spoke, just silently walking hand in hand. The icy rain scene seems to be particularly in line with the current atmosphere, so that even if the two of them don't speak, they won't look embarrassed.

In fact, for Xue Yingying, Li Feng doesn't know what his feelings are now, although he was his object of admiration in high school, but that was more than ten years ago, for Li Feng, who is in his thirties, this feeling is a little long.

But now I'm chatting and eating with Xue Yingying, and I'm still very happy. If you can try to have a relationship with her, Li Feng is also quite willing.

But Xue Yingying's tutoring is very strict, and now even if Fang Yuemei relaxes her supervision of her studies, she still doesn't have to think about falling in love.

"I really hope to end the college entrance examination as soon as possible, and the college era can come sooner. Xue Yingying said suddenly.

"Why?" asked Li Feng.

"When I go to college, I won't be constrained so much, I can do whatever I want, and I can be with whomever I want. Xue Yingying said, "You see how free the students in Fairy Lake University are, and many times I envy their lives." ”

"Don't worry, this kind of life will come soon, it is said that there are many handsome guys in Jiangzhou Art University, maybe there will be big handsome guys to pursue you at that time." Li Feng said with a smile.

"Really? But I don't like art boys. Xue Yingying pouted.

"What's wrong with studying art, you're not learning painting yourself. Li Feng said strangely.

"Hmph, I just don't like it anyway. Xue Yingying said.

Xue Yingying thought to herself that this Li Feng was really a stupid goose, he had such an obvious hint, he didn't feel it at all, where did all the smart IQ go.

In fact, Li Feng didn't notice anything, but there was a faint feeling in his heart, which came from Lin Yuting who was far away in the United States.

Obviously, during this period of time, Li Feng had more contact with Lin Yuting, from the beginning of the hate, gradually became accepted and recognized, in fact, Lin Yuting is not an unreasonable ignorant rich second generation, she is actually very thoughtful, and she also has her own personality.

And Lin Yuting doesn't have so many taboos, which makes the communication between the two very smooth, especially when the two of them watched a movie together in Jiangzhou City that night, which has made Li Feng feel Lin Yuting's feelings for him.

I can't think about it so much right now, let's take one step at a time.

......

At this moment, at the headquarters of Baibao.com in Nanhang City, Xu Jinlin has come to find Long Yu non-stop.

After flying from the United States to China, Xu Jinlin did not delay for a day and came directly to Nanhang City. He also arranged his deputy to take the lead in getting in touch with the senior management of Baibao.com, expressing the intention of Dahua Fund.

Therefore, when Xu Jinlin came to the headquarters of Baibao.com, the two sides had a preliminary framework for the next investment intentions.

Baibao.com is now in a stage of rapid development, although it has made a profit, but it is still far from enough to maintain business expansion, so Baibao.com senior management intends to open another round of financing at the beginning of 2003.

The total size of this round of financing will exceed 500 million, and the total number of shares sold will reach about 25%. In other words, at present, the valuation given by Baibao.com itself has reached 2 billion.

This valuation is obviously a bit inflated for Baibao, which has only been established for more than a year, but compared with the valuation of 8 billion US dollars in the global mall, the valuation given by Baibao.com is still relatively reasonable.

Judging from the current general trend of the development of the global Internet industry, the development speed of the e-commerce industry is very fast, and the future potential is also extremely amazing.

Of course, such a valuation also discourages most investment institutions, and there are not many investment institutions that have contacted Baibao.com, and Dahua Fund is the most powerful one.

Even so, the UOB Fund cannot eat 25% of the shares alone, and according to the current investment strategy of the UOB Fund, it can only come up with 300 million at most.

For Baibao.com, the current round of financing is a good opportunity to impact high valuations, so they have always been stubborn about valuation, which makes the prospects for this round of financing a little difficult.

This time, UOB Fund took the initiative to come to the door, which also made them feel very excited. Even if Dahua Fund can't eat all 25% of the shares, it can eat at least half of it, so the contribution to this round of financing is still very large.

Therefore, when Xu Jinlin visited the headquarters of Baibao.com after New Year's Day, almost all of the management team of Baibao.com were dispatched to talk to Xu Jinlin.

In the afternoon, Long Yu made a special trip to have a closed-door meeting with Xu Jinlin.

"Mr. Xu, on the first working day after the New Year's Day, you came to Baibao.com to discuss investment, which shows that Dahua Fund attaches great importance to this investment, and I am also grateful for it. Although Long Yu was smiling, there was a faint doubt in his eyes, "This time, Dahua Fund invested in Baibao.com, I don't know what the amount of investment is?"

"We at Dahua Fund are very optimistic about the performance growth of Baibao.com, and at the same time, we are also very optimistic about the overall growth of the domestic e-commerce environment, so we hope to invest in Baibao.com to the greatest extent. Of course, a total of 500 million is still very difficult for Dahua Fund, but two or three hundred million is still possible. Xu Jinlin said.

At the beginning of 2003, there were not many financing means in China, and it was quite rare for a fund company to contribute two or three hundred million yuan at once, especially for the emerging industry of the Internet.

During this period, even if it is a real estate project with a huge amount of investment, the total investment is generally hundreds of millions.

"This time, an industry leader like Dahua Fund has led the investment, and I believe that many other fund companies will follow suit, which is very beneficial to the financing of Baibao.com, and I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of Baibao.com. After Long Yu finished speaking, the conversation suddenly changed, "However, Mr. Xu, since today is a closed-door meeting between the two of us, I also want to raise a question in my heart." ”

"Mr. Long, but it doesn't hurt to say. Xu Jinlin said lightly.

Long Yu took a sip of tea and said, "As far as I know, UOB Fund has also invested heavily in our main competitor, Global Mall, and is an important shareholder of the Global Mall Huaxia project. Since we are in competition with Global Mall, it seems unreasonable to invest in both of us at the same time. Please forgive me for taking the liberty of thinking about this matter, what does Mr. Xu think about this?"
