Chapter 647: Born in vain
On September 3, the best date for Luo Kai and Mo Lan's engagement was officially set.
After it was confirmed, Luo Kai obviously felt that the relationship between himself and Mo Lan's family had suddenly become intimate, and Shao Manli's gaze at him became different, completely the same as that of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
It's not easy!
Luo Kai couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, although the relationship between him and Mo Lan had not experienced too many twists and turns, but Shao Manli was undoubtedly a huge obstacle between the two, and now this mountain has finally moved.
"I'll call home..."
As he spoke, he took out his phone and called his wife.
If he doesn't notify his family at the first time of such an important event, it will be his unfilial piety.
When I contacted her a few days ago, Luo Kainiang specially told her to tell her as soon as he set a date.
The phone was quickly connected, and the familiar voice of the old lady sounded in Luo Kai's ears, which made him feel warm in his heart.
"Mother, the date of my engagement with Mo Lan has been confirmed..."
When Luo Kai was talking to his mother on the phone, Shao Manli and the others remained quiet and did not speak.
Knowing that the date was set, Luo Kainiang was very happy, and talked to Luo Kai for several minutes, and then she wanted to talk to Shao Manli.
Luo Kai handed the phone to Shao Manli without hesitation: "Auntie, my mother wants to talk to you a few words..."
Shao Manli nodded and took the phone, with a smile on her face: "Hey, hello mother-in-law, I am Mo Lan's mother Shao Manli, and I have wanted to contact you for a long time..."
Probably considering that some words were not convenient to say directly here, Shao Manli stood up and left the box and walked to the corridor outside to continue the conversation.
Luo Kai and Mo Lan looked at each other, and the latter's pretty face shone with joy, and it was incredibly beautiful.
"Hey, hey, hey..."
Shao Qiang, who was sitting next to him, couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted: "You two don't exist as uncles and aunts?
Mo Lan was suddenly ashamed: "Uncle!"
Shao Qiang, Chen Xiaoying glared at her husband, and then Wen Yan said to Luo Kai: "Luo Kai, I want to ask, when will your Kuaiyin Technology launch the A+ round of financing?"
The so-called A+ round is another round of financing after the A round, which is different from the B round in the strict sense, and there are a lot of particularities, and there are diversified financing options according to the different conditions of the enterprise.
Chen Xiaoying's question was very abrupt, which surprised Luo Kai a little, but on the surface he smiled and said: "At present, the funds used by Kuaiyin for expansion are enough, so we do not have a plan for Series A+ or Series B financing for the time being." ”
With an investment of 200 million yuan from MS (China) Investment Fund, Kuaiyin's development can be said to have embarked on a real fast lane, like a sports car with enough fuel, roaring into the distance.
As an original new platform for online media, it is undoubtedly the best time for the development of Kuaiyin, if you do not take advantage of the fact that the opponent has not yet appeared or keep up with the rapid progress, and firmly occupy the main share of the market, then once there are industry predators into it, the situation faced by Kuaiyin Technology will be much more difficult.
Therefore, 200 million is actually not enough to burn, and a new round of financing is imperative, but the strength of Kuaiyin App lies in the fact that the profit model is very clear and perfect, and there is already a steady stream of income.
From this point of view, Kuaiyin Technology has left behind some so-called unicorn companies that rely on hype concepts to fool investors, and the development potential is favored by countless people.
At present, the industry's valuation of Kuaiyin Technology has reached 4 billion to 5 billion, which has more than doubled compared with the previous A round of financing.
"Oh, that's it..."
Chen Xiaoying was obviously a little disappointed, she explained: "That's the case, then if you want to start the A+ round of financing, I can introduce you to a good venture capital fund, which will definitely give Kuaiyin Technology a high valuation." ”
Luo Kai smiled: "Thank you, aunt." ”
He had a feeling of seeing a ghost in his heart, because his "aunt" was blatantly digging into the corner, normally he wanted to invest in the A+ round of Kuaiyin Technology, so Chen Xiaoying should first represent MS, not a "good venture capital fund".
You must know that Shao Qiang and his wife have shares in MS, so what is this?
Luo Kai was speechless, looking at Chen Xiaoying's speech and demeanor before, how could he say such embarrassing words, or there was something else hidden in it.
Of course, no matter what he thought in his heart, Luo Kai was always smiling on the surface, but his evaluation of Chen Xiaoying dropped by more than one level.
And Shao Qiang, who was sitting next to Chen Xiaoying, didn't seem to hear the conversation between his wife and Luo Kai at all, or didn't care if he heard it, and still told jokes to Mo Lan without heart and lungs.
But Mo Lan couldn't have not heard, she turned her head to glance at Luo Kai, and gestured to him with her eyes.
Luo Kai understands in seconds, and he is even more impressed - the water in the big family is really too deep.
At this time, Shao Manli returned to the box and returned the phone to Luo Kai.
Mo Lan couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what did Auntie tell you?"
"It's about your engagement..."
Shao Manli glanced at her: "You don't care." ”
is really an outgoing girl, and she hasn't been engaged to Luo Kai yet, so her mind turned to her mother-in-law.
Shao Manli wondered if her daughter was born in vain.
Mo Lan shrank her head, like a child who had done something wrong, looking very embarrassed.
"Alright. ”
Shao Manli ignored her anymore and said to Shao Qiang: "You guys go back first, I still have something to discuss with Luo Kai and Mo Lan, so I won't send you two." ”
In front of this strong sister, Shao Qiang was very well-behaved: "Okay." ”
Chen Xiaoying was obviously a little unhappy, but she couldn't stand her husband's pull, so she had to leave in a huff.
Luo Kai and Mo Lan escorted them out of the restaurant before returning to the box.
Shao Manli had just finished paying the bill, she signed the receipt receipt, and after sending the waiter away, she asked with a sneer: "Did Chen Xiaoying ask you about the second round of financing of Kuaiyin Technology just now?"
Luo Kai and Mo Lan looked at each other, but Luo Kai still decided to tell the truth: "Yes, but we don't have a plan for Series A+ or Series B financing for the time being." ”
"That's right..."
Shao Manli said: "Chen Xiaoying wants to bring in her uncle's venture capital fund, and she told Xiaochen before that she is bullying you young, and I don't know how much bad water is in it." ”
For her brother and daughter-in-law, Shao Manli was not polite at all.
Luo Kai couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, coughed and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”
Shao Manli smiled and said, "I believe you, in addition, you can change your name." ”
