If Yuan Yuan hadn't mentioned it, Chu Yuanxi would have forgotten that there was such a company, and he hadn't paid attention to it in the original world, because it would be impossible to do it at a casual glance. How did Pinduoduo come about? It relied on WeChat's generous traffic dividends, not simply relying on low-price strategies to burn money. There is no such good distribution tool as WeChat in the United States, relying on Facebook and Twitter? Pinduoduo can rely on Weibo and Renren? How to cut it?

Therefore, Chu Yuanxi sometimes feels really sorry for the investors in the capital market of the United States, and he makes a special investment without understanding such a simple truth!

And if you want to build such a huge e-commerce, you must burn money in the right place, and Brandless dares to burn money on logistics, which must not be able to control cash flow. Of course, this is also to blame for being born in the United States, if it can be reincarnated in the Celestial Empire, the developed third-party logistics service providers can completely let it save this money, and Pinduoduo is also difficult to survive the initial period without the support of logistics service providers.

So it's clear where Ali made a mistake at the beginning.

However, at this time, I heard that Sun Dasheng had the intention of investing, Chu Yuanxi did not doubt the amount of funds of others, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, not to mention that Sun Dasheng was not just a camel, he was almost at the level of a blue whale, even if the whale fell, it could fatten a sea area.

Of course, he will definitely be in trouble during this time, the world's factories are shut down, the supply chain is broken, and it is impossible for the largest investor on the entire planet not to be in trouble. Small and medium-sized investors still have the probability to dodge, and Sun Dasheng has nowhere to hide. Maybe Brandless's recent announcement of hitting the street has something to do with this key situation, and Chu Yuanxi hasn't studied it specifically, but it feels like it's normal for the problem to be transmitted to the other side of the ocean, and there must be a large number of tricks.

And the well-off itself does need financing.

It's not that the Ba Ren Group is rich, and the well-off can relax their requirements for themselves, and it's not that Chu Yuanxi is schizophrenic, but the career is not like this!

The milk of the Ba Ren Group is the milk of the well-off in the event of an accident, which is used to help the well-off tide over the difficulties, so that the well-off does not care about the capital and calls the father, not to make the well-off dependent. I don't even have the ability to raise funds, and I rely on blood transfusion specifically by affiliation, this kind of company can't even eat in my big A shares, and the existence of hob meat every year, what face does it have to impact the valuation of 300 billion, or even higher?

Even Yang Jiangang needed such a small amount of funds, Chu Yuanxi strictly ordered him to raise funds by himself and not have any illusions. Ba people made him an angel, Chu Yuanxi relied on his own personal ability to help him do a round of counseling and investment circle network expansion, according to the flow of the game, the novice guidance is enough to go, to the B round no matter what, it should be on his own, the copy always has to go down by himself, and the boss always has to fight by himself.

To the well-off, in fact, it is the same, the idea of lying down to win, reasonable and legal boss is the right way for corporate financing, and if you can raise external financing, you can't just move people's money, the use of that money is to save emergencies, not to raise children.

Therefore, after calming down, he asked Li Jingfei: "Where did Sun Dasheng take a fancy to me?" In the past, he was extremely reluctant to Sun Dasheng's money, but now he judges the situation and can ask the price first, and he will not get pregnant if he asks the price.

Li Jingfei said in his heart, where did he like you, how did you change it? He took a fancy to you that you were alive, and you died to show him?

But that can't be said, because Li Jingfei deeply feels that the responsibility on his shoulders is very heavy. It's a pity that Chu Yuanxi is not a typical entrepreneur, and typical entrepreneurs do not refer to those entrepreneurs who are happy to jump up on the spot as soon as they hear that they can have a vision, but the thirst for funds comes from the hope of gaining a sense of security from the outside and gaining the recognition of investors, especially famous investors. The logic is that they are experienced and powerful, but they still vote for me, and they are willing to help me in the future and succeed with me, so I feel safe.

But Li Jingfei knew that Chu Yuanxi was not like this, Chu Yuanxi's brain circuit was to give himself confidence, and then pass on confidence to investors. This is also the reason why he thinks that his task is arduous - Chu Yuanxi will think that Sun Dasheng wants to vote for him at this time to take advantage of him! This grandson will really think so!

Chu Yuanxi's temperament of contempt for all authority impressed him the most, and he still remembered that when the relationship was not bad before, the two talked about Penguin's investment institution, South Africa's Naspers.

Of course, Li Jingfei admires Naspers very much, and it is an idol. I didn't expect Chu Yuanxi to say this: Those scum invested in penguins before making the portal "Pulse Network", and lost more than 80 million, and invested 5 million yuan in "Yifu Finance Network", all of which were losses. They studied the matter of investing in penguins for a whole year, but thanks to that year, Pony's financing did not go well. As a result, Naspers boasted that it was the best investment institution in the world, even though all profits came from penguins' dividends.

At this time, Li Jingfei pondered for a moment after finishing his memories, and then decided to adopt a style and strategy that Chu Yuanxi liked, so he sent: "Where did Sun Dasheng take a fancy to you? How much money have you made lately? He has been inconvenient to meet people recently, you know why, so he has carte blanche to entrust Cheng Huilin to do preliminary communication with you, and Mr. Cheng asked me to come. ”

Chu Yuan Xixin said I don't understand, why is it inconvenient for Sun Dasheng to meet people? Is it because he has to bow 90 degrees, or is it because the Vision No. 2 he is raising is not going well? And he doesn't entrust people from his own company in Greater China for Mao? What kind of business is it to entrust Cheng Huilin? Their relationship is so good?

"Okay, since it's preliminary communication, then you can make conditions. Chu Yuanxi was ready to listen, and it was very casual, and he didn't even ask for a video to see his face. Li Jingfei still doesn't know him well enough, or doesn't know enough about his recent work style is that even recruiting a consultant requires video linking, otherwise this kind of matter of directly typing and chatting about valuation on WeChat is proposed by Chu Yuanxi, and Li Jingfei will definitely be able to feel his attitude.

"Zhantou, I'll send you a document, which contains specific conditions. ”

"Stop!" Chu Yuanxi quickly typed a word first, and then continued to send: "Don't send it, Xiaokang doesn't accept war investment." ”

"Why?"

"It hasn't grown enough to have enough strategic resources and strategic reserves to bargain with others. Chu Yuanxi didn't plan to make a face after writing this sentence, "So I can only accept easymoney." I have heard that Sun Dasheng is proud of the world, and the TS of the well-off A round is not a secret, you must have it, just follow that one. The ideal valuation of Series B is 20 billion, which can be talked about on this basis. ”

After posting it, he felt that it was not enough, and sent another emoji with a smile that gradually went out of control: "I heard that Sun Dasheng likes to increase the valuation, help me persuade me, this is not necessary." Xiaokang is not a company that requires unreasonable valuation, but pursues a win-win situation. ”

After posting, he seemed to be able to hear the roar of "Ganimabi-" on the other end of the network cable, because the rhythm of the conversation was interrupted, Li Jingfei didn't type for a long time, and he didn't know what kind of mental journey he was experiencing.

However, what he didn't expect was that soon, Li Jingfei continued to chat like no one else, and asked, "Then do you still do a roadshow?"

This question stunned Chu Yuanxi, and his first reaction was that he didn't know how to answer? After thinking about it, he asked rhetorically, "Isn't Sun Dasheng not in the way?"

"What do you want? When have you ever seen Sun Dasheng participate in a roadshow?" Li Jingfei immediately asked: "Sun Dasheng has always met with the founder, and it doesn't take more than half an hour to decide whether to invest or not. Do you still want Sun Dasheng to sit in the audience and sit with other investors, and listen to you for two hours?"

Chu Yuanxi choked Chu Yuanxi for a moment when he said this, and there was nothing wrong with listening to it, but why did Li Jingfei ask himself if he wanted to hold a road show? Chu Yuanxi instinctively felt a trace of subtlety, because, regardless of all phenomena and looking at the essence, how could Li Jingfei not only make himself stunned, but also choke him? This is not scientific? I have not heard that he has achieved any great growth recently?

Chu Yuanxi couldn't help but recall the roadshow that Ba Ren and Xiaokang had done. The Ba people have only done one roadshow that is not a roadshow, and Xiaokang has done it twice, among which Li Jingfei participated in the Pre_A and did not participate in the A round. Then I thought of the scene where he jumped out of the car, and before jumping out of the car, he didn't forget to combine what he heard on the roadshow to conduct a round of business consulting for himself, and then go to get his door opener.

This is also Chu Yuanxi's own problem, he knows that he may be too fond of roadshows in the eyes of outsiders.

Normal entrepreneurs almost don't do roadshows when they go round A or even B round, they go up to say hello after finding the target investor, just like Brandless greeting Sun Dasheng, the table is full of 3 various products, and Sun Dasheng is stunned, and then chats for a few minutes, and 100 million is done.

These few minutes are the essence, and it is necessary to show what you have learned all your life, and usually this kind of entrepreneur is also a good at stimulating users to make impulsive spending. Otherwise, why are there so many mobile phone entrepreneurs and game entrepreneurs in China? Entrepreneurship and selling mobile phones and games to stimulate internal purchases are simply a perfect match.

Chu Yuanxi is not like this, he likes to tell in detail what he wants to do, how much money is burned for each thing, what effect is achieved, what kind of milestone plan has been made for this, and where is the rationality of the plan. In this way, if someone else goes down according to this plan, they basically have to kneel, but Chu Yuanxi can do it by showing his irreplaceability, so he can make people happy and convinced.

This irreplaceability is sometimes a resource that has been mastered at that time, for example, when Baren Entertainment was doing financing, he already had a number of super large numbers, and the WeChat ecology of the IP of "Out of the Troubled Times" has been sorted out, and investors who know a little about user relations have reason to believe that the mobile game he launched is completely successful if the quality is not bad. What's more, it happened to be the launch of TCG mobile games at that time, and the performance exceeded expectations.

Therefore, although the Modu Syndicate was extremely dissatisfied with the terms of the financing, it had to pinch its nose and sign, because the risk it took was only the risk of Chu Yuanxi suddenly playing hooligan, not the risk of the business itself.

Li Jingfei watched this scene up close, although he didn't have any sense of presence in the process and didn't raise any objections, but just filmed 30 million to come in.

Xiaokang's Pre_A is similar, but at that time he hid a lot of things, and the revealed goals were very different from the real goals, but the basic framework was fully described.

Pulling his thoughts back, Chu Yuanxi vaguely felt that there seemed to be something wrong, at least, this was definitely Li Jingfei's temptation, not chatting, these two were completely different feelings. So he asked: "In this recent situation, I don't feel very suitable for a roadshow, and I originally planned to start the B round of financing in early March, and the time node has already been announced at the time of the last financing." So, if I do a roadshow, who's going to listen? If I don't do a roadshow, who's going to talk?"

"Me. In a few days, it's really inconvenient lately. ”

Chu Yuanxi frowned when he saw Li Jingfei say this, and immediately issued several instructions within the company. Although he still doesn't understand what medicine is in Li Jingfei's gourd, and he doesn't know what he is trying, Chu Yuanxi is a person who first separates the enemy and me and then considers the specific scene.

Recently, there has been a matter of reducing the supply of a lifetime to the well-off, and a lifetime has a strategic cooperation with the door opener, and wants to integrate the well-off, but Chu Yuan Xibeier went back. There was no reason why he should not be wary, let alone trust the message of the other party. Chu Yuanxi wants to forget about the rivers and lakes, but the trees want to be quiet and the wind is more than that!

Fall in love in the case of a preset position, I don't care how you come, I will rush all the way, Chu Yuanxi believes that he has run the company without scars and no holes, and recognizes you in the wind and rain, no matter what the other party thinks, anyway, you do it first without suffering a loss.

At this time, a large number of well-off employees happened to return to the city, and those who could move had already completed the formalities and left, and there were many who were already in place. The rework of the well-off is not confined to weekends or weekends, avoiding the return peak is the priority, and the smooth return is the first to stay, which is a necessary procedure, so at this time it is in the hectic before the calm.

As for the instructions issued by Chu Yuanxi, the employees looked at it, all of them were confidentiality rules, some of them did not know how many times they reaffirmed the previous terms, and some of them were newly added. In particular, there is a clause that says that once an investor takes the initiative to contact the company, the company must be notified immediately, and no private contact is allowed. You can talk about your salary, and even as long as you are not within the scope of competition, you can accept digging into the wall, but you can't talk about work, otherwise you will face unprecedented accountability.

Of course, the accompanying directive includes a major update to the competitor list, which everyone will have to resign. This murderous announcement and supporting measures made many people cautious, and then instigated CTO Zhou Mingjun to ask what was going on.

On the R&D line, Zhou Mingjun is the undoubted boss at present, but he has been immersed in his work, spinning around several project teams every day, so he rarely shows his face outside, but he is actually the mainstay of the well-off. The precise management of Xiaokang is not only accurate in Chu Yuanxi, but also in other executives, among which only Yuan Yu has nothing to manage particularly accurately, which is more detached.

At that time, Zhou Mingjun asked: "Is this investor all investors, including investors who have become shareholders in Series A?"

Because it was an email, Chu Yuanxi replied categorically: "Yes." It's not that we don't trust the existing shareholders, it's precisely in order to avoid unnecessary suspicion and increase internal friction, so we should draw a fire prevention circle in advance. ”

This set of operations finally shocked Yuan Yu, who disappeared for a short time, because she could also receive emails. "What are you doing here? Why did you suddenly do such a thing? What happened to Li Jingfei? He didn't look for me. ”

Chu Yuanxi didn't seem to let Yuan Yu worry about it, so he replied: "It's okay, Milestone 5 is about to start, it's just a routine strengthening of information blockade, and Milestone 6 will definitely get stricter and stricter before it goes online." Li Tietou came to me and said that Sun Dasheng wanted to invest in the well-off, and I quoted a valuation of 20 billion for him to take back and discuss. ”

Yuan Yu made a spit expression at that time: "What did he say?"

He didn't say anything, and continued with the process below, as if he agreed. ”

Yuan Yu didn't reply for a long time, and seemed to be shocked.

Chu Yuanxi waited for a long time and didn't reply, so he looked at the circle of friends boredly. He doesn't often look at the circle of friends, because there are too many WeChat friends, and the frequency of refresh the circle of friends is too fast, so he can only look at it casually, and it is impossible to force himself to brush all the circle of friends to update.

As a result, the first one saw the brothers collapse.

This is a veteran programming ape training institution for more than ten years, and the programming ape training institution is actually a strong upstream of small IT factories. It is difficult for small factories to recruit graduates from famous universities, and the same is true for computer majors, so the products produced by training institutions are actually more competitive than ordinary college students, because training institutions are training for their counterparts, and people who do not know the program become IT people who specialize in a certain skill after about half a year of business training.

This kind of employee may not be as wide as ordinary college graduates, the so-called plasticity is poor, and the long-term development potential is also lower, but a small factory recruiting PHP must be for the development of PHP projects, recruiting H5 must be for the development of H5, the purpose is to work quickly, and employees are not required to have ideas and prospects, so it is easier for training institutions to come out of the post.

Ba Ren and Xiaokangli did not recruit employees directly from the training institution, but there were really a few people from the Brothers' Brotherhood, and Chu Yuanxi felt a burst of sadness as soon as he saw the forward.

Then he suddenly found out that Fang Shiling actually started to post on Moments?

And it's been posted for several days, and after Chu Yuanxi clicked in, he saw that there was actually a paragraph every day.

2.2: It's a bit annoying today, but I don't know how to describe it, I'll call it the princess's annoyance for the time being.

2.3: When I just ordered takeout, I suddenly remembered that I was 160 pounds, I slapped myself violently, how can I be distracted when ordering takeout!

2.4: Judging a boy's good or bad taste, fall in love with him, if he refuses, it means that the taste is okay.

2.5: All the beauty that is praised has traces of PS.

2.6: When you come to my house for dinner, I personally poison it.

It seems that this is released? This is very the temperament of a video Internet celebrity, and there are many beauties on Douyin who have become popular by re-performing Internet jokes in front of the camera.

However, Chu Yuanxi just looked at it and closed WeChat casually. The so-called forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes is to catch up with each other once in a while, and look at each other's circle of friends. How to come out, let others shush the cold and ask for warmth.
