When the time comes to August 8th, BJ's hot weather people want to stick out their tongues like dogs to cool off. In such weather, Lu Qiu and Xu Xin walked on Baiyi Road in Zhongguancun, feeling the strong scorching feeling of the asphalt road, while Lu Qiu tried his best to persuade Xu Xin to cooperate with him.

Xu Xin is the one that Lu Qiu entrusted the headhunting company to dig, and he was also one of the few friends of Lu Qiu in his previous life. This woman born in the 60s is the queen of the domestic venture capital circle in the future, and the most well-known capital she founded today is that she invested in Liu Qiangdong's Jingdong Mall, and finally got a hundredfold return.

Lu Qiu needed to find a helmsman for his venture capital firm, and Xu Xin was undoubtedly the best target, and Xu Xin was currently working at Baring Private Equity Asia, eventually becoming a partner and executive director, and the most classic investment case was the investment in Ding Lei NetEase.

For Lu Qiu, it was not ordinarily difficult to convince Xu Xin to leave Barings and join his company.

"Kathy, I'm sorry to have to take you on a trip from Hong Kong. ”

"It's nothing, I was going to go back to ZQ's hometown to see, there is Lu Dong to reimburse the travel expenses, why not. It's just that my choice is only afraid that it will disappoint Lu Dong. ”

Xu Xin is a very honest person, and as soon as they met, she calmly informed Lu Qiu of her decision not to leave Baring, for two reasons, one is that she wants to stay in Hong Kong to work and does not plan to come to BJ, and second, compared with Baring, the so-called Pangu Investment created by Lu Qiu really has no strength and fame.

Lu Qiu also realized that it was useless to persuade Xu Xin to follow the conventional promise of salary and give him the status of a partner, so he took Xu Xin to Baiyi Road and talked while walking under the scorching sun.

Xu Xin was curious, and she didn't hide her doubts, and said, "I actually want to know the purpose of Lu Dong bringing me here, it can't be as simple as taking me to bask in the sun and roll the road, right?"

Lu Qiu smiled, Xu Xin's hearty personality is also the reason why she can make some achievements in the male-dominated venture capital industry.

"Kathy, I actually just want you to see this road, this white road. Lu Qiu pointed to his feet and said to Xu Xin.

"Is there anything special about this road? It looks like it's newly built, no worse than the roads in Hong Kong. Xu Xin was puzzled.

"Just over a year ago, the road was a tree-lined boulevard lined with towering aspens and a famous 700-year-old white stone bridge, which would be one of the greenest streets in BJ if everything remained as it was. Lu Qiu looked at both sides of the road and described slowly, Xu Xin seemed to see a picture in front of him.

"But the times are advancing, and its pace will not stop because of anything, and people can only be abandoned if they do not try their best to catch up. So the aspen was cut down, the white stone bridge was torn down, and at the corner of the street, a huge billboard was erected, and Kathy knew what was written on the billboard?"

Xu Xin shook his head, but his attention was completely attracted by Lu Qiu's words, and he deeply realized Lu Qiu's powerful language appeal.

Lu Qiu pointed in the direction of the intersection, looking nostalgic and as if he was saying goodbye, and he said: "The billboard says how far the Chinese are from the information superhighway, 1,500 meters to the north, Yinghaiwei time and space." ”

Xu Xin was shocked, "Yinghaiwei's advertisement!"

Lu Qiu nodded, "Yes, Yinghaiwei's advertisement may also be the most obvious mark left by Yinghaiwei in the history of China's Internet development." But as I just said, the times are advancing, even if Inhighway was once ahead of the times, but when it can't see the future clearly, and its eyes are covered by fog, it will also be abandoned by the times. ”

Xu Xin didn't speak, she also knew about the situation of Yinghaiwei, last year Hong Kong's Zhongce Investment also had to inject capital into Yinghaiwei, but because of the financial crisis stranded, in June this year, Yinghaiwei founder Zhang Shuxin resigned, which has announced the end of the pioneer of China's Internet.

"Kathy is in Hong Kong, close to Guangzhou and Shenzhen, she must know NetEase, right?" Lu Qiu's topic suddenly turned to the other side.

Xu Xindao: "I know, and I have been learning about this company, and I would like to invest in them if possible." ”

Lu Qiu knew that this was the inevitability of history, and said: "I believe in your vision, in fact, NetEase, Stone, Lifang Forum, Sohu, it is the rise of these websites that has killed Yinghaiwei, an Internet old-timer, on the beach." I also believe that Barings will agree with Kathy to invest in NetEase, but if you choose my Pangu Investment, I want to tell you that not only can you invest in NetEase, but you will get more things. ”

"More?" Xu Xindao, "I can't think of it, Baring gives me the identity of a partner, the right to invest independently, even if Pangu also gives me these, so what?"

Lu Qiu nodded, "Yes, in these respects, I can at most offer the same conditions as Barings. But Kathy, there's one thing they can't give you. Seeing Xu Xin waiting for him to continue, Lu Qiu said leisurely: "That's the future!"

"I know that the future of NetEase must be a successful listing, I also know that Stone Lifang Forum and Sohu will grow into the top domestic portal, I also know that the Internet will be the largest wealth industry in China and even the world in the next ten years, online shopping, online social networking, online games, the Internet will not only create many new industries, but also give birth to qualitative changes in traditional industries, the future, will be the Internet!

"I'm sure Kathy you've seen this, but in Barings, the Internet will only be a point of their attention, and in Pangu, Internet investment is everything! Pangu opens the sky and creates the world, then what we have to do is to split the sky of the Internet and create a new world, and eventually I will let the world see that in the Internet industry, Pangu investment is the giant that opens the world, the myth of omnipotence!"

Xu Xin was shocked, Lu Qiu's announcement was too domineering, and even a little crazy and arrogant, but she had to admit that he said it to her heart. She has the same judgment on the Internet as Lu Qiu, that is, the future, and the next few years will be a period of rapid development of the Internet, and missing this period is equivalent to missing the future!

Baring does have strength, but as Lu Qiu said, Baring does not specialize in mutual benefit network investment, she is at Baring, and a lot of time is spent on research in some traditional industries, but is that what she wants?

Xu Xin, who was originally confident, was shaken.

Lu Qiu looked into her eyes and said with the greatest sincerity: "Kathy, join Pangu." You will have all the power, the company is mine and yours, and this will be the cause we create together! The development of the Internet is rapid, just like this Baiyi Road, as well as this Zhongguancun Industrial Park, even if it is just a hesitation, they may grow into unattainable towering trees. We should not miss this era, because in our lifetime we will not have a second chance like this!"

Xu Xin's body shook slightly, yes, she is not young anymore, the opportunity that comes once in a thousand years, if she misses it, she will not come again, how should she choose?

Xu Xin's heart was in turmoil.

Lu Qiu understood her state, knew that she couldn't be in a hurry, and said: "kathy, don't you make a decision in a hurry, aren't you going back to ZQ's hometown, go back and have a look, think about it carefully, and then give me an answer." No matter what choice you make, I hope to see you in the future Internet investment industry. ”

Xu Xin looked at Lu Qiu and had to admit that this young excessive chairman had super persuasiveness and personality charm, and she almost wanted to change her mind on the spot. But the balance in her heart still couldn't make a decision after all, so she had to nod and agree with Lu Qiu's opinion, promising to give an answer after careful consideration.

The meeting with Xu Xin came to an end, and as for what choice she would make, Lu Qiu couldn't control it. But even if Xu Xin refuses, it's nothing, it's just that Lu Qiu needs to find a partner again and waste more time and energy.

Over the next two days, everything else came to fruition.

First of all, Yuan Li chose a house. This Nizi took a fancy to a villa in Ziyu Villa, the price is not expensive, more than two million. Although Lu Qiu knew that the value would increase tenfold in the future, he was still not satisfied after seeing the villa. The community environment is good, but the layout of the villa seems stingy. There are three floors above ground and one floor underground, with a construction area of 180 square meters, which is the area of a large house in the future. But for the time being, it can only be like this, and it is not too late to change the major mansions in the future.

Lu Qiu said this to Yuan Li at that time, but the two-dimensional witch looked disdainful, "If we don't brag about it, we can die, you should take out the two million first." ”

Lu Qiu said: "It's just two million, it's a small matter, I can earn it in minutes." ”

Yuan Li booed, "Unless you still go to gamble, but even if you gamble, I don't believe it, don't worry, this queen is a person with savings, and I have a big head, you don't have to care about your male dignity." ”

"It doesn't matter if you have dignity or anything, I'm just afraid that your money is not enough, Lao Li still cares about the investment I want to conquer, saying that at least five million, or you will come out too? Lu Qiu said very casually, because Yuan Li also likes the script of conquest, so he grabbed the female number one to act.

"The Gate of Destiny didn't make five million, and it's not good for you to take it out and invest it. "Yuan Li still knows some of Lu Qiu's assets.

Lu Qiu spread his hands, "I have already invested that money, so I am a poor bastard now!"

"What!" Yuan Li jumped up violently, his eyes were spitting fire at Lu Qiu, "Okay, you tell me honestly, did you also raise a small model outside, five million, what can you invest!"

Lu Qiu was amused by her reaction, and said deliberately: "We don't seem to even have a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, whether I have someone outside or not, you don't care." ”

"You!" Yuan Li was about to blow up, glaring at Lu Qiu fiercely, as if he was about to run away, but after a while, he squatted on the ground like a deflated ball, buried his head in his knees, and sobbed softly, "I know, I know you mind my past, but I really like you, I really like you, why do you treat me like this." ”

Lu Qiu didn't expect that making a joke would make Yuan Li cry, it seems that the silly girl still cares about the past with Xu Wei, but it also makes Lu Qiu feel a little sorry.

Lu Qiu squatted down, stretched out his hand to hug Yuan Li, and said softly: "Okay, my Majesty, I'm joking, money, I have private goods, go, I'll show you something." ”

Yuan Li stopped crying and said suspiciously: "Do you still have private money?"

Lu Qiu helped her wipe away her tears and said with a smile: "You just say yes." ”

Yuan Li's eyes widened, "Hmph, if you have too much money in your private room, this queen can't spare you!"

That being said, in fact, Yuan Li also knew that although she and Lu Qiu were together, there was always a layer of window paper between the two that was not pierced, which was also the main reason why she occasionally suffered from gains and losses.
