The World Cup is also divided into good and bad.

It's as if there must be a gap between the Rio Olympics and the '08 Olympics. Although the Football World Cup is one of the top competitions in football, the quality of each World Cup is different.

The '98 World Cup may not have played a particularly significant role in the history of football, but it is definitely quite classic for the majority of domestic fans, except for the excitement of the game itself...... is also because many people are 'in the pit' in the 98 World Cup - this may be the most terrifying pit in China's sports competition.

Taking '98 as the midpoint, let's look forward and backward respectively:

In the 90 World Cup in Italy, the defense was all the rage, what else can this be watching?

In the 94 World Cup in the United States, this basketball kingdom was too rusty with football to have much of an impression.

02 Korea-Japan World Cup, let's not talk about it, let's die with the stick.

There are also three games that are particularly mentally retarded for Chinese, and they naturally understand it......

The '06 World Cup was fine, but there weren't many classic games.

But the 98 World Cup is different, only Germany is a little weak in Europe's traditional powerhouses, and everything else is in full form, in addition, Nigeria, Croatia, and Denmark have all performed well.

Especially the dark horse Croatia, they participated in the World Cup for the first time, but they fought all the way to the semi-finals, until they met the champion France, and lost 1-0.

Everyone is in good shape, the strength is similar, this game is naturally good-looking, this year's Zizu ascended the throne, Ronaldo is a pity, the Dutch ice prince Bergkamp led the orange storm, Croatia participated in the absolute dark horse for the first time, and the team's player Davao Suker won the Golden Boot Award......

At this time, the Champions League has not yet been reformed, the consumption of stars in the Europa League is not large, and the World Cup is more important, and everyone is doing their best in this event. Ice Prince Bergkamp and Owen all have great balls.

And for a commercial website, there is another God-given thing: full of gimmicks!

On the eve of the decisive battle, Ronaldo, the main star of Brazil, suddenly fainted and came on the field with illness in the final, and the result was like sleepwalking.

But why he suddenly fell ill at such a critical moment is a mystery.

This means that fans will be crazy about discussions, quarrels, speculations, speculations, and all kinds of conspiracy theories.

Even after many years have passed, this incident will still be mentioned, so you can imagine what will happen on the Internet after the news of Da Luo's illness and fainting comes out?

In addition, for most non-football fans, the '98 World Cup is not completely absent from his mind, at least the classic lyrics of the theme song "Cup of Life" 'go, go, go, Ore, Ore, Ore, Ore' are familiar to everyone.

Chen Zier and Cai Zhaoxi recently went to see Home Credit's daily work, which is intense and busy, the World Cup officially started on June 10, local time in France, and before that, Home Credit had sent a working team to France.

At the same time, a special World Cup feature is set up on the website, and any information about the game will be sent back to China as soon as possible.

Xu Yan, who had been saving money before, also worked promotion, and tens of thousands of users of Home Credit mailbox were the first to receive this advertising email.

On the Internet, in the football section of various forums, you can see the advertisement of the Home Credit website.

They fought against the odds, and they were only allowed to succeed, not to fail.

At this juncture, Cai Zhaoxi and Chen Zier have paid more attention to Home Credit, and what he is holding in his hand now is Home Credit's recent account flow.

Cai Zhaoxi's understanding of the Internet was too rudimentary, so he asked: "Mr. Chen, do you really think Home Credit can be listed on the NASDAQ at the end of 99?"

Chen Zier lowered his head and looked at the report and said: "It should not be difficult not to make strategic mistakes and not be rejected for unexpected reasons." ”

He said worriedly: "But now they haven't even seen a shadow of their Series A financing." ”

Chen Zier did not panic, "As long as they make good use of the opportunity of this World Cup, the traffic of the website will definitely skyrocket within this month, and there are only a few competitors in the Internet industry now, not many or strong, everyone is starting from scratch, Home Credit is still prepared, and failure will not be." ”

And now the concept of the Internet is hot in the venture capital world, as long as it is done well, Xu Yan doesn't even have to look for money himself, the money will find him. ”

Cai Zhaoxi has always admired Chen Zier's judgment of ambiguous situations, which is a talent that a qualified leader must have.

But there was one thing he was curious about.

He asked, "Since Mr. Chen thinks that Home Credit has a promising future, why don't you increase his share? And it seems that he does not plan to participate in Home Credit's Series A financing." ”

Chen Zier chuckled: "The Internet is a money-burning industry, and I don't have that much money, so I'm an angel investor." ”

"And I don't like to do things like to kill chickens and eggs, in fact, when I first invested, I could have taken more shares, but that compressed the financing space of Home Credit in the A, B, and C rounds, which is not my kindness, but for my own interests. ”

"Home Credit is comfortable, and my return is high. Increasing too many shares is really killing chickens and eggs, this kind of thing is stupid, and a little bit short-sighted, it is unprofitable to do, and it will make people think that you are greedy, except for the number of shares on the contract is a little larger, it is really not good. ”

"But if I let Gitzo travel lightly, then when he goes public, the market value created will be higher, so even if he has 25% of the shares, he can get a hundredfold return at that time, so that I can earn money, get fame, make friends, and give me favors, how good is this." ”

Cai Zhaoxi was convinced, this kind of open-mindedness and rationality in front of real money such as shares, as well as the vision and wisdom of jumping up to see the problem, are really praised.

"Mr. Chen, to be honest, I can't believe you're 20 years old. ”

"I advise you to believe that there is evidence in the household register. Chen Zier made a joke at the right time.

Cai Zhaoxi also smiled, although Chen Zier was too young, he didn't feel anything awkward with him, and sometimes those wise speeches would make him forget his age.

Chen Zier put down Erlang's legs, remembered the matter of the investment company, and reminded: "The day when Shi Yangqing came to work in Pudding should not be far away, I told you and Lawyer Yang about the investment company before, in fact, she has always been prepared, you have strong financial ability, the burden is naturally heavy, I don't understand the finance of the investment company, and now I tell you, you can also prepare for this job." ”

After saying it that day, Cai Zhaoxi almost forgot about it, and when he mentioned it again at this time, he also confirmed again: "Really set up an investment company?"

Chen Zier said confidently: "Of course, and quickly." ”

99 is coming, Tencent, Alibaba, Google, and later Facebook have been established one after another, and he does not account for much of each family, even if each family is only 5 percent...... Calculating the market capitalization, it is no problem to easily exceed 50 billion.

It's unimaginably large.

And this is a company in which Chen Zier personally holds the majority of the shares......

Hmmm, I drip, why do you feel a little too much......
