Seven p.m.

The Jiangnan Zun Senior Club is brightly lit, and all kinds of luxury cars are parked in front of the club.

Behind the first floor is a glass wall, where there is a 50-meter swimming pool, which is lit up and decorated with various lights everywhere, and the lights are reflected in the pool, and the clear water ripples, giving people a dreamlike feeling.

In addition to Xi Ming, who had just gone up to the third floor, all the men who participated in the reception were all dressed in suits and leather shoes, formal dresses, and the ladies were all kinds of long skirts, and the different ones were the jewelry they were wearing, such as platinum, diamonds, and pearls, but under the reflection of the lights, they reflected a variety of different lights, which was very good-looking.

The first floor was noisy and was occupied by some family members and middle management employees.

On the second floor, soft and soothing music is played, and it is occupied by some top executives and investors, and some entrepreneurs.

On the third floor, Xi Ming and the bigwigs were quietly communicating.

Li Kaifu had already arrived at the Jiangnan Zun Senior Club.

He has been greeting everyone on the first and second floors with his two daughters.

The magnesium lights flickered, the crowds were crowded, and the laughter was staggered.

He went up to the third floor with some very important people.

This reception at the Innovation Factory can be described as a gathering of celebrities, businessmen and wealthy businessmen, especially on the third floor, where many familiar figures who are usually only seen in newspapers, magazines, news and television appeared.

This is a very grand reception, a gathering of innovative investors, and a gathering of the upper echelons.

The first floor of the Jiangnan Zun Club is now full of family members, most of the professional managers on the second floor, some investors with average strength and some entrepreneurs, who belong to the second floor, can be invited to the third floor with a very heavy weight, which has three reasons.

First, Ximing created the era of sharing economy and pioneered shared bicycles.

The second is that Dong Mingzhu, who is an employee, can go up to the third floor, how can her boss not be qualified.

The third is that Li Kaifu secretly has arrangements for employees, so that person invited Dong Mingzhu to the third floor, but he didn't expect that Xi Ming was not with Dong Mingzhu, this happened the scene on the first floor before, and Xi Ming was almost kicked out.

It was just a small episode, Xi Ming didn't think so, there was only one person he cared about, and that was Mr. Li's attitude towards him.

Now Li Kaifu and Mr. Li of the Innovation Factory are cultivating themselves, and Xi Ming can feel it from his heart.

Therefore, Xi Ming is very respectful and grateful to Li Kaifu.

His bicycle-sharing and the development of his Xiongming Group will be tied to Sinovation Works. He will be the Innovation Factory Department in the future.

In recent years, Lei Jun, NetEase's Venture Capital, and Tsinghua Venture Capital have become more and more famous, and the status of Innovation Works has been threatened, so Li Kaifu urgently needs to absorb new blood and new characters.

And that's exactly what happened.

Xiongbai bike-sharing is still seeking financing, and now behind it stands Tencent, Foxconn, Ctrip, Sequoia Capital and other financiers who have now raised hundreds of millions of dollars.

Why is shared bicycles so popular, and why are capitalists so pursuing shared bicycles? Looking at the various interpretations of the market, there is only a lack of one perspective. And this perspective, whether ofo or Xiongbai, clearly tells the outside world that they want to develop the "Internet of Things", the narrow sense of the Internet of Things can be regarded as the connection between things, and the broad sense of the Internet of Things can be regarded as the interconnection of all things, the digitization of all things, or the next generation of networks.

So far, there seems to be nothing more exciting than the Internet of Everything to stir the nerves of technology capital.

From fixed fiber to mobile broadband, from PCs to smartphones, the boundaries of the Internet have been expanding from beginning to end, and with the transformation of the main battlefield, a drama of ebb and flow and change of ownership has been staged.

Bike-sharing is both a means of transportation and a smart device, offering both commuting connectivity and the characteristics of the Internet of Things. Compared with the traditional Internet, the Internet of Things provides a new complementarity, or subversiveness. They have to get in.

From the mobile Internet to the Internet of Everything, it is not a theory but a fact that is happening. At present, the rapid evolution of communication technology from 4G to 5G, China has already established a IMT2020 (5G) promotion group, 5G is expected to start large-scale field testing in China this year. In addition to 5G in a broad sense, NB-IoT networks focusing on M2M (machine-to-machine) are also rapidly landing in China.

In next-generation networks, the vast majority of connections occur in the M2M machine-to-machine space.

Bike-sharing is inherently a part of M2M machine-to-machine, and it is an important scenario for the Internet of Everything. Optimistically, the number of shared bikes online worldwide in the future could reach 100 million – scale is very important.

There is also a greater imagination when it comes to bike sharing, where each bike becomes a central node in the next-generation network. In the future, it will not only be possible to connect cars to cars, but also to smart devices such as bracelets?

Xi Ming has revealed to Mr. Li Kaifu that the purpose of the future round of financing is highly related to the Internet of Things and big data. Build a technological imagination and launch the Internet of Things war, the future has just begun.

So Li Kaifu looks very good at that young offspring, Xi Ming.

So he chose to go out of his way to help this young man!

In addition, this young man has a lot of ideas, and many of them have great prospects.

The reception was attended by a large number of investors, and he also intended to promote the financing of some of Ximing's excellent subsidiaries, and as the leader, he found investors who were interested in these aspects.

Now he is joined by Zhang Fu, Vice President of China Hotel Association, Tang Shun, President of Yanjing Catering Industry Association, Zhang Qi, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of JM Health Industry Group and CEO of Yongyu Hengfeng Financial Holding Group, Guo Chunyang, President and Senior Partner of Beijing Xinban Capital Investment Holding Co., Ltd., and Zhou Xi, Chairman of Daohe Group......

The elevator doors on the third floor opened.

Everyone looked into the distance.

"Hehe, Li Kai is back. Liu Chuanzhi then stopped talking about his trip to Israel.

Straight figure.

Mr. Li Kaifu had that iconic elegant smile again, he walked in front of everyone and bowed slightly: "Thank you entrepreneurs, the big boss came in his busy schedule, and I thank you on behalf of Innovation Works!"

Li Kaifu warmly shook hands with everyone.

"Welcome Mr. Guo!"

"Welcome Mr. Chen!"

"Welcome Mr. Liu!"

……

The people behind him applauded enthusiastically incessantly.

Dozens of waiters then walked through the crowd with trays of champagne glasses.

Each holding a glass of champagne.

Various entrepreneurs began to clink glasses one after another, set almost ...... The drinking party of the bigwigs begins.

Li Kaifu took Xi Ming to raise his glass frequently, while introducing Xi Ming to various successful entrepreneurs.

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

Impressed by Xi Ming were three beautiful investors, one was Li Ying, co-founder of Yunfeng Fund.

She was responsible for the strategy and equity investment of KPCB China, such as AutoNavi, China's largest map information service provider, and Venustech, a security software company that has successfully landed on the GEM, and deeply assisted the global portfolio companies in China's business in China.

"Hello, I am Li Ying, the managing director of Yunfeng Fund, responsible for the fund's investment in high-tech, new energy, cultural industry, consumer services and other fields. Hopefully we will have a chance to cooperate. ”

"Hello, I'm Xiongbai Bike-sharing Xi Ming. Nice to meet you, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with you. ”

Another woman who is with Li Ying is Lou Yunli, a founding partner of Wheaton Investment.

Li Kaifu said: "This Mr. Lou graduated from Harvard University with a bachelor's degree in economics and is also a recipient of the John Harvard Scholarship. Under his leadership, several companies invested by Wheaton have been successfully listed on the NASDAQ, the New York Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Mr. Lou has been continuously selected as the best venture capitalist by Forbes China. ”

"Hello, Mr. Rhino!"

"Hello, Mr. Lou, please advise. “

The third woman Li Kaifu introduced to himself is Ru Linqi, the founder and president of Kleiner Perkins Huaying Venture Capital, focusing on digital new media, consumer services and green technology.

Since 2000, she has participated in more than 30 projects, including: Alibaba, Focus Media, Baidu, Huayou Century, Xicheng Media (acquired by Focus Media), etc.

Think about today's Ali Baidu to know how unique Ru Linqi's investment vision was back then. Her strong judgment ability and the creed of "luck + hard work + talent = success" made her on the list of the top ten beautiful investors in the investment industry.

All of them are not simple, Xi Ming sighed in his heart.

"Mr. Xi, the idea of sharing bicycles is really good! You also have a lot of personality, but it's better not to wear casual clothes next time you have this kind of occasion. Ru Linqi smiled kindly.

Xi Ming nodded embarrassedly, he was helpless, he couldn't wear the dress he prepared, he blamed himself for being a little playful, what kind of strength did he have with that group of drag racing parties, and sure enough, impulsiveness was the devil......

"Mr. Ru, you must pay attention to your dress next time, now I respect you, go one!"

The cups touched.
