Zhu Jiarun has gone to invest in the company, she has some work to do, and she has now entered the state of work, at least she needs to start preparing, in order to meet the new era of science and technology that is very likely to enter.

Zhang Xian knew that Zhu Jiarun had her secret, and he didn't plan to get to the bottom of it, he just watched quietly from the sidelines. Of course, he believed in Zhu Jiarun's vision, but he didn't start preparing in advance like Zhu Jiarun.

Although he didn't start preparing in advance, Zhang Xian still has a lot of things to do, and now there are a lot of industries under the names of the two people, and Zhang Xian is basically taking care of them.

What Zhang Xian is doing is to do the things he has now, while what Zhu Jiarun is doing is looking to the future; the two of them perform their own duties and work together to make their careers more prosperous, both of which are to reduce some burdens for each other.

D'Angelo made Zhang Xian a cup of coffee and asked with a smile, "Zhang, how was your vacation with Julie?"

"Very good, we went back to China for a while, and then we went to see some variety shows in Korea. You know we have an entertainment company, and in the future we want to take more market share in variety shows. Zhang Xian tasted the coffee and said to D'Angelo, "Your coffee needs to be improved, I can send you some coffee beans, your coffee is not authentic." ”

D'Angelo sat on the sofa and looked at Zhang Xian speechlessly, "Zhang, I'm different from you. I need to lead Quora forward, and you and Julie are living in situations I couldn't have imagined. ”

Zhang Xian laughed out loud and didn't think so, "Adam, I know if you want this kind of life to be easy to do, you just don't want this kind of life." You're all the same, you all love to work and you like to innovate. I'm not like her, we prefer to enjoy life after making some money. I'm happy with my life now, and of course I like money. ”

"What do you think about the financing?" D'Angelo didn't continue to chat with Zhang Xian, and began to talk about business, "Now that some investment institutions want to invest, what do you think?"

Zhang Xian already knew about this matter, but still asked, "What is the purpose of the financing you want?"

"The first is to ensure that the company has a positive cash flow and will always operate independently from being acquired, the second is to further improve the company's products, and the third is to expand Quora's services internationally. D'Angelo replied, pragmatic, but he also had some of his thoughts and concerns.

"Quora is growing every week, and as we scale, more and more people will use our platform to share their stories. I want financing, but most of our financing money is in the bank in case of a financial crisis or other special circumstances. The most important thing for us is to ensure that our products and services will always survive and remain independent forever. ”

Hearing D'Angelo's words, Zhang Xian fell into deep thought.

Although Quora's exposure is not as frequent as other startups, it does not mean that Quora is not popular; in fact, many investors and investment institutions are very optimistic about Quora, and it is not difficult to raise funds, even if some of the current environment is average, the financial crisis still has some impact.

"If we want to raise money, we may need to pay out of our own pockets so that we can secure our shares. Zhang Xian thought for a moment and said, "Our Quora can become a unicorn company, I have no doubt about it." ”

D'Angelo is also nodding his head, very confident, because this time the financing amount is more than 50 million US dollars, for an Internet company, such a amount can explain a lot of problems.

Of course, it is also because Quora's two major shareholders are not bad for money, so Quora will only consider raising funds for the first time until now. If it were other Internet companies, they might have raised funds long ago.

"I'm going to give 10 million dollars, and I'm going to guarantee my shares as much as I can. Zhang Xian still said his thoughts, and said to D'Angelo, "Our website is a Q&A platform service is the best, it is the largest database of first-hand information on the Internet, I am very optimistic about its future, I must ensure my interests." ”

D'Angelo raised his coffee cup and said with a smile, "I think the same way, although we need financing, we need to ensure its capital chain and development needs. But I'm not going to give up control of it, it's my child, it's not for sale. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, financing is the need for financing, but this is not forced to the extent that financing is necessary. Therefore, whether it is Zhang Xian or D'Angelo, they all have the initiative, and the amount of financing will definitely be relatively large, because if it is very small, it will not mean anything to the two of them, and they are not bad money.

"Julie may soon be exposed. D'Angelo looked at Zhang Xian and joked with a smile, "Many people are curious about her, Facebook has overtaken Yahoo to become the third largest website in the world, and Microsoft and Google are leading the top three." Many people know that Facebook has a mysterious second-largest shareholder and was part of its original startup team. ”

Zhang Xian shrugged his shoulders, not very concerned, "I had this realization a long time ago, you should know what I mean." Everyone is interested in young billionaires, especially those who are full of potential. I've been famous for a long time, and everyone is curious about me. But they didn't know that there was an amazing girl behind me. ”

"It's stressful to get along with Julie, and I mean as a colleague, as a friend. With her, you will always feel that you are colleagues, you are just colleagues. But you are different, we are partners, colleagues, but we can also be friends. I love working with you, although there are times when Julie seems like a better business partner. ”

Hearing D'Angelo's words, Zhang Xian also laughed, and Zhang Xian also agreed with D'Angelo's words.

Because he knows Zhu Jiarun's character, when he is with him, Zhu Jiarun looks no different from other girls in love. But in reality, as long as it is in a working state, or when Zhang Xian is not around, it is very stressful to work with Zhu Jiarun, and she can be a very strong woman.

knows this well, so Zhang Xiancai doesn't think that this is D'Angelo slandering Zhu Jiarun.

"Your progress is also obvious, you know what I mean. D'Angelo looked at Zhang Xian and smiled, "When we first met, my impression of you was only that of Julie's boyfriend. To be honest, we didn't think Julie's boyfriend was very good at the time, even if you were a Chinese social media platform at the time. ”

Zhang Xianyi Angelo continued, and he also wanted to hear what these bystanders had to say about him.

"But after we got to know each other, I don't think you and Julie are in the same style at all. She is too sensible at work, and her work and life are very separated, and she is difficult to approach. But you're different, you're a very good friend, you have a good personality. And I know you're always improving, you're growing. And man, you're a great vision, you're decisive, and even more far-sighted than Julie. ”

Seeing Zhang Xian's deaf look, D'Angelo continued, "I know that you and Julie have invested in a lot of industries, and your investment is surprising, and it doesn't seem to be in the same field at all. I don't know if it's Julie's idea or your decision, but I know you guys need to put together your resources. And Julie, she seems to just look at the rate of return. ”

Zhang Xian slapped him violently, agreeing with D'Angelo's evaluation, because Zhu Jiarun's investment really wants to make the least cost or the greatest return, and sometimes it will make the two of them have a lot of financial pressure.

Moreover, Zhu Jiarun often wants to finish investing and waiting for the harvest. So their industry looks fragmented, and their investments are sometimes just not very connected.

Zhang Xian laughed and said with a little pride, because he had dealt with D'Angelo and got to know him more and more, so Zhang Xian knew that this was a group of excellent people. And to be able to become friends and partners with these people, in fact, Zhang Xian's level is also constantly improving, and his learning and efforts are not fancy and useless.

"Now that we've done a good job, we've started to pay attention to connectivity in our investments in the internet and the entertainment industry. I know you're not our competitor, and you won't go to China to invest in the film market or variety show market, but we're doing it. Whether it's the film market or Weibo, you will see that we want to integrate resources into an organic industrial chain. ”

I talked a lot with De Anjie, chatting about the website, chatting about their lives, and chatting about some evaluations of each other.

The two of them can be said to have a good chat, because the two are very good friends, their friendship is not just in cooperation, they are not only business partners, their personal relationship is also very good, especially as they get along for more and more time, the two are more and more good friends.

In fact, Quora doesn't have many employees now, who made this a technology-based Internet company, relying on technology and innovation, rather than a labor-intensive enterprise.

Even if Zhang Xian, the second shareholder, does not appear many times and does not participate in the development and operation of the website, he still has a great sense of existence. Especially in the development process of the website, Zhang Xian was also invited, and he also answered a lot of questions on the website.

Many people are interested in this billionaire, who is said to be the youngest, and because many Americans still don't know much about China, Zhang Xian still brings some traffic to Quora's development...... Even if it is pitiful, Zhang Xian's contribution is still there.
