Chapter 34: Domineering Flaunting Wealth (I)
The reason why Lu Qiu wanted to rush back to China was because Xu Xin received an email, after the establishment of Pangu, Lu Qiu handed over his mailbox to Xu Xin, she only needed to pay attention to one thing, that is, if Ma Yun sent an email, he must know it as soon as possible, and now, Ma Yun sent an email!
Ma Yun sent an email, not saying anything about the investment, but only telling Lu Qiu that he planned to quit his job at the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and return to Hangzhou to start a new business.
This is definitely the news that makes Lu Qiu excited, he knows that Alibaba is about to be established, and he will never miss the opportunity to intervene in this giant!
For this reason, Lu Qiu rushed back to BJ and met Ma Yun.
"Dude, I climbed the Great Wall with Yahoo's Yang Zhiyuan a few months ago, and he and I have surprisingly similar views on the future of the Internet, and we are full of praise for the creativity of my new company. I believe that Alibaba will be a great company, and I have confidence in myself and our team. ”
"I have made China's Yellow Pages, and I have done very successfully in the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, but I believe that Alibaba will be 10,000, no, a million times more successful than before, my partners believe me, they give up tens of thousands of monthly salaries and stable jobs, and go back to Hangzhou with me to work hard, only get a salary of five or six hundred yuan a month, brother, do you believe me?"
Ma Yun was as demagogic as ever, and although there was not a word in his words about investment, Lu Qiu understood what he wanted.
"Brother, the first phase of Pangu will inject 5 million into Alibaba, the second phase of 20 million, any need for funds, I will be ready to invest more than 100 million at any time, I am not talking about RMB, it is US dollars, as for the specific equity distribution, my brother can talk to Mr. Xu of Pangu, rest assured, I will explain to Mr. Xu, no matter how the equity is distributed, Ali will always be the Ali of the elder brother, and Pangu will not interfere with the operation of the enterprise even the slightest!"
Hearing Lu Qiu say this, Ma Yun was stunned on the spot, he originally prepared a more incendiary speech, but he didn't expect that he would not be used at all.
"Dude, you're serious, you're not kidding, are you?"
Lu Qiu smiled, "When the elder brother gets the money, I will know, I am not like Yang Zhiyuan, just talking and not practicing, what I want to take out is real money, and I have more confidence in my brother and your team than anyone else!"
Ma Yun rarely blushed, he did brag on the issue of Yang Zhiyuan, Yang Zhiyuan just discussed the Internet with him, as for Alibaba, it was not until 2005, when Ali was in urgent need of funds, Yang Zhiyuan exchanged a billion US dollars plus Yahoo China for Ali's forty percent of the shares, of course, this kind of thing cannot happen again in this world. Not only Yahoo, but also Goldman Sachs and SoftBank all want to take a stock from Alibaba, Ali's stock, Luqiu is round!
After Xu Xin made a special trip from Hong Kong to BJ, Lu Qiu introduced Ma Yun to Xu Xin, and solemnly listed the Alibaba project as the highest project level of Pangu Investment, unconditional support, of course, obtaining more shares is the only purpose.
Xu Xin also reported on other work by the way.
Zhou Hongyi's 3721 can be launched at the beginning of 99, focusing on the development of individual users in the early stage, which will last for about a year, and after accumulating to a certain base, it will be promoted to enterprise users. Lu Qiu is very satisfied with this plan, because after 2000, broadband networks began to be popularized, and at this time, promotion can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The same is true for Zhang Xiaolong, the Filling Sky Browser will be available in the first half of 99, and a shared version will be launched, but the download tool that comes with it will take longer to develop, and Lu Qiu is not in a hurry, after all, the download core based on the P2P concept is basically not competitive in the dial-up network era, and only the foundation of bandwidth has been improved, in order to expand the application space.
Tencent, which Lu Qiu asked Xu Xin to pay attention to, has also made some progress, but it is not as satisfactory.
Ma Huateng, Zeng Liqing and other Tencent founders are only willing to sell 10% of the shares, asking for 1 million yuan, Xu Xin feels that this valuation is too high, after all, the current registered capital of Tencent is only 1 million, so she is still hesitating.
Lu Qiu directly made a decision, and won the ten percent, not to mention one million, ten million must be won. You must know that in 2000, Tencent's A round of financing was valued at nearly 50 million yuan, and now it is valued at 10 million, which is very reasonable. And not only to win, but also to give money happily, to show the demeanor of the big financier, so that when Tencent encounters financial difficulties in the past 2,000 years and needs to invest, it can more happily win more shares. Investment must look at the long term!
These are the projects that Lu Qiu pays the most attention to, and Xu Xin's work is also fruitful.
She intends to invest 5 million yuan in NetEase's Series A investment in exchange for one million shares, and seeks Lu Qiu's opinion for this.
Lu Qiu has only one opinion, how many stocks NetEase can give, then how much investment to give, no need to consider the limit at all, of course, the specific operation is still Xu Xin's own grasp, as for Pangu's funds, rest assured and bold to use, the brain platinum side is already on the right track, no accident Shi Yuzhu will start to repay the giant's debts like in his previous life, which requires the brain platinum must be divided, with the profitability of the brain platinum, it is estimated that it can continue to inject two to three hundred million seed funds into Pangu every year, so money is not a matter for Pangu!
After these things were taken care of, Lu Qiu set off again for Paris. Of course, the madness of being busy with Yuan Cai's second daughter is also indispensable, so when he returned to Paris, Lu Qiu was refreshed and happy, but this good mood was immediately destroyed after learning about Xu Qing's situation from the female makeup artist, and a storm was brewing in Lu Qiu's heart.
Xu Qing is still sick, in the recovery period, and has not deteriorated or anything else, what spoils Lu Qiu's mood is that a Cheng Biting Jin was killed in the sky, a guy named Liu Bo flew from China to Paris, and took care of Xu Qing's reason to pursue it wantonly.
According to the makeup artist, this director Liu is successful, elegant, and takes good care of Xu Qing, and even cooks his own food to supplement Xu Qing's nutrition, he is simply the perfect good man in the eyes of women.
Lu Qiu scoffed, a good man, just a liar, although it is unlikely that there is a possibility between Xu Qing and him, but he doesn't want Xu Qing to be deceived by this liar, as a friend, he must expose Liu Bo's true face!
This time, Lu Qiu didn't care whether Xu Qing was happy or not, he went straight to Xu Qing's room, didn't knock on the door, and pushed the door straight in.
In the room, Liu Bo was courteous to Xu Qing.
"Xiaoqing, I know that your eyes are bloodshot and afraid of seeing the light, so I bought you a pair of sunglasses, Prada's, not much money, you wear them. ”
"Wow, it matches your face well, and you are more beautiful Xiaoqing. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Liu, but I can't ask for such an expensive thing. ”
"Actually, it's not expensive, it's less than 10,000 yuan, Xiaoqing, don't be polite to me, these sunglasses are worth it only if they are worn on your face. ”
When Lu Qiu came in, he saw the scene of Liu Bo showing off his wealth, and he said coldly: "What kind of garbage is worthy of Sister Qing!" Without saying a word, he took off his glasses from Xu Qing's face domineeringly, and threw them on the ground.
Liu Bo hurriedly picked up his glasses in distress and said angrily: "Who are you, can you afford to break something!"
Lu Qiu looked disdainful, "You don't care who I am, it's just a pair of broken glasses, even if I take 1,800 pairs, I will be able to smash them!"
Liu Bo's face turned blue with anger, "You... You, I'm going to call the police!"
Lu Qiu said impatiently: "Whatever you want." He turned to look at Xu Qing and said: "I have something to go back to China to deal with, I didn't expect to run into flies annoying you when I came back, if I had known that your eyes were bloodshot, I would have bought sunglasses first." But it's okay, I'll take you to the spot to choose. ”
Xu Qing looked at Lu Qiu coldly, "Why should I listen to you?"
Lu Qiu smiled bitterly, "I know I'm not qualified, but this is what I owe Sister Qing to you, the clothes you bought for me, now it's time for me to buy glasses for you." ”
Xu Qing didn't speak, just looked at Lu Qiu like that, and said lightly after a while: "You two go out, I want to change my clothes." ”
Lu Qiu knew that Xu Qing had agreed, glared at Liu Bo, and walked out of the room.
Liu Bo also followed, and the two stood at the door of the room.
