Chapter 55: Choice
It's just that when Zhang Cheng walked into the hotel, he regretted it a little, isn't it too extravagant to eat alone in such a place, or is it too sad?
After sitting down, Zhang Cheng ordered three or four dishes recommended by the waiter, and began to think about who could accompany him for a light meal at this time.
It's a pity that there are only a few numbers in the mobile phone address book that can be regarded as friends, and after thinking about it again, he still dialed Xie Donghai's phone.
In Hangzhou, only Xie Donghai can be said to have a good relationship.
"What's the situation, why did you remember to call me?" Zhang Cheng's call made Xie Donghai a little surprised, and his tone was also very funny.
"You're saying this as if we haven't been in touch for a long time. Zhang Cheng heard Xie Donghai's complaints, and his tone was full of helplessness.
Although it is true that he has not contacted Xie Donghai for many days, there is no way.
"Haha, just kidding, what's the matter?" Xie Donghai saw that Zhang Cheng was a little helpless, and laughed heartily.
"I wasn't just going to eat, but I didn't seem to have anyone to sit down with to eat, so I felt a little pitiful, so I wanted to ask if you had time to enjoy a meal. Zhang Cheng tried his best to be as pitiful as possible.
"Okay, you name a location, I'll go over now. Xie Donghai happened to be fine now, so he agreed.
Zhang Cheng reported the location and waited patiently, and at the same time asked the waiter to serve the dish later.
About twenty minutes later, Xie Donghai was late with an apologetic face.
"Brother Zhang is embarrassed, the road is a little jammed and late. Because they were more familiar with each other, Xie Donghai sat opposite Zhang Cheng politely.
"I'm embarrassed, and I'm still letting you run. Zhang Cheng beckoned the waiter to serve the food, and responded.
"But speaking of which, you're quite picky, and this shop tastes good. Xie Donghai took a look at his surroundings.
This is indeed a good Hangzhou Bang cuisine hotel.
"I also found out from the comments on the public. Zhang Cheng explained.
If you want to talk about Rongcheng, he can still say a few places that taste good, but he is really not familiar with Hangzhou, and what he can rely on is foreign things like Dianping.
"The taste here is really good, but if you want to say that the authentic Hangzhou cuisine is still a little bit worse, next time I will take you to taste the authentic. Xie Donghai nodded, he often came to eat this piece.
It is usually a social meeting at work, which cannot be avoided, which also makes him know a lot about eating, especially on the ground in Hangzhou, as long as you put forward conditions, he can always find you a pleasant hotel.
"If you have the chance, you will definitely go. Zhang Cheng nodded in response.
Chinese people's dinner tables are generally dominated by chatting, and there is very little time to actually eat. Zhang Cheng and Xie Donghai ordered four dishes, accompanied by beer and various topics, and quickly ran out of plates.
During the meal, Zhang Cheng's mobile phone was also busy, is there always someone calling, either this company or that company, all of them expressed their optimism about your company, asking if there is a need for funds, etc.
Zhang Cheng patiently refused one by one, and the business could not be benevolent, and there was no need for him to say something ugly to stiffen the relationship.
"Your kid has been a little busy with business recently!" Xie Donghai joked when he saw that Zhang Cheng's phone had not stopped.
"It's all venture capital, but now I don't have a funding gap for the time being, so I've turned it down. Zhang Cheng put down his phone and said helplessly.
It's also a frustrating thing to be too eye-catching!
"You kid have to be scared!" Xie Donghai looked at Zhang Cheng angrily, "Do you know how difficult it is to get venture capital, if you let those entrepreneurs who are still struggling with funds, they are afraid that they will pick up the bench and smash you to death." ”
The words may be a bit serious, but the reality is indeed like that, there are more monks and less porridge, there are many entrepreneurs but there are so many funds, the winner is king, and being chosen is not only strength but also luck.
"It's not that serious, and the entrepreneurial environment is pretty good now. Zhang Cheng is a little undeniable about this, in his opinion, the current entrepreneurial environment in China is still quite good.
"You don't know the sorrow of those low-level entrepreneurs, do you know that some entrepreneurs in order to be able to get venture capital back to venture capital companies to block executives, is this useful? It must be in vain and it will make venture capital dissatisfied; but can you say that entrepreneurs have no brains? They just want to fight once, fight for a chance to show their faces in front of the venture capital company, the chance of success may be very slim, but they have to take all kinds of risks to do those things. "Xie Donghai has been in the industry for many years, and he knows a little about all kinds of things that have happened in the industry.
That's why he made such a feeling, he is used to seeing the scenery in the industry and the sad things that happen at the bottom of the industry.
"I don't really know much about that, but I really don't plan to raise money right now, I'm financially good right now, and I still have a lot of money on hand. In the face of Xie Donghai, Zhang Cheng did not hide anything, and the funds were also fully revealed.
"You, after all, still don't understand what the meaning of financing is, is this just a simple injection of funds? You are still too immature. Xie Donghai's face looked a little disappointed, but he was relieved when he thought of Zhang Cheng's age, "After financing, this means that you will have a background in a venture capital company, and if there are some problems or someone wants to attack your company, you will have scruples." ”
Zhang Cheng suddenly opened up after listening to the mouth, he really didn't think so thoroughly, his entry point was simply that he didn't have a need for funds, and he didn't think about anything else.
"You are still very young, there is still a lot to learn, the mall is a place where people do not see blood, there are no permanent friends, there are no permanent enemies, when the interests are the same, you can trust him. Xie Donghai's words are full of deep meaning, and they are by no means as simple as they seem.
Zhang Cheng nodded, he was indeed still very immature, whether it was in his previous life or in this life, except that his mind was better than that of his peers, he had few advantages.
"So as your big brother, I still want to advise you, even if there is no need, you still have to make a choice, this is for the better development of the company. Xie Donghai continued to comfort, "Don't think I'm a lobbyist sent by NetEase, now I'm telling you from your friend's point of view, choose one that maximizes your own interests, unconditionally hold your dominant position, and don't back down too much." ”
。。。。。。
Zhang Cheng and Xie Donghai left the hotel at one o'clock in the afternoon, Xie Donghai took a taxi to leave because the company had something to do, and before leaving, he wanted to take Zhang Cheng home, but was politely refused.
Perhaps because he had been in the office for too long, Zhang Cheng was a little like he was breathing outside, which prompted him to urgently want to take a walk on the edge of the West Lake and relax.
As a landmark scenic spot in Zhejiang Province, the West Lake is famous all over the country and even the world, and almost everyone who comes to Hangzhou to play will definitely come to the West Lake to take a walk and go to the broken bridge to have a look; perhaps because he does not have much knowledge, Zhang Cheng does not seem to be very interested in these scenes, but some students who sit on the bench with a drawing board to write and draw have attracted his attention.
Zhang Cheng stood quietly behind a student with his hands in his fists, watching him from the outline to every detail, little by little, meticulously, little by little, embodying the real scene on this piece of paper; to be honest, Zhang Cheng was a little envious of this, because he had always been very envious of the literary and artistic atmosphere of such a person.
That kind of fairy spirit fluttering, long hair fluttering appearance, made Zhang Cheng, a businessman with a copper smell very envious; somehow looking at the student in front of him, he remembered that girl, the first time he went to a nightclub, he met himself, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Forty minutes, forty minutes, Zhang Cheng stood there, quietly watching a painting from existence to nothing, and the student finished painting only to find Zhang Cheng standing behind him.
Zhang Cheng smiled apologetically, and the student smiled back.
Maybe it was fate, and soon Zhang Chengjiu was walking by the West Lake with a landscape painting painted by a student of the Academy of Fine Arts, a sophomore from the Academy of Fine Arts, who took advantage of the break to collect wind here, because Zhang Cheng stopped for a long time and he gave him this painting.
Looking at the scenery, Zhang Cheng had nothing but Xie Donghai's words in his mind, and the rest was the girl with long hair; Originally, Zhang Cheng really didn't plan to contact the venture capital company, but now, after Xie Donghai's words, he needs to think about it, especially after the launch of easyTrust.
Zhang Cheng has reason to believe that if the other party is not a behemoth like Tencent, in the face of such a communication giant, I am afraid that it will not take long to be suppressed, and there will be a brilliant future.
Therefore, Zhang Cheng should now think clearly and think carefully, and what should he do in the face of such a situation when he has no background? Especially when Tencent and other Internet companies are eyeing him, some of the plans he has made must be thorough and cannot tolerate any major omissions.
This is the sorrow of a small company, if there is a problem or if there is no strong background, backing, ally, it must be faced with a hungry wolf with a mouth full of carrion and fangs, and they will swallow you up if anything goes wrong.
Zhang Cheng is not qualified to fight with them now, so seeking a reliable and powerful shelter is a matter of the fate of the product.
The more he thought about it, the more Zhang Cheng's brows tightened, but he also knew that this was a helpless move, and there was less room for people who had no strength to choose from; Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng looked into the distance with some irritability, relieving the pressure in his heart.
Probably browsing the scenery in the distance, a girl soon caught his attention, because the sportswear was familiar, including the simple but touching ponytail.
(The difference of 1,000 words will be made up tomorrow, and I will forgive you for the delay in the evening!)
