In fact, things are always developing in political textbooks, and what kind of ghost is universal, although Lin Fan can't remember it, he thinks it's right. It's like now, before he was looking for others for financing, now someone will take the initiative to ask him to invest in starting a business.

Lin Fan blinked his eyes, "Mr. Lei, the reason why you asked me to invest is because I am stupid and have a lot of money, and after starting the company, I will definitely only invest and not manage it." ”

For Lin Fan's self-deprecation, Lei Jun actually felt like he had opened a new door for himself, why didn't he think that Lin Fan still had this benefit, now that Lin Fan's stall is big enough, he has no skills, and he will definitely not be able to manage inviting him to start a company together.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for giving me another reason to choose you. ”

Of course, Lin Fan was just joking, no one would treat him as a fool. In fact, Lin Fan has never stopped learning, he is a programmer, which is something he has never forgotten. Programmer-turned-entrepreneurs like Ma Huateng and Lei Jun all learn in practice, and he doesn't have time to improve himself through learning, but his starting point is high enough, and he has benefited a lot from chatting with Fan Gang.

In Lin Fan's hand is a project plan, Lei Jun brought Lin Fan here this time to invest in this company.

"Vancl is positioned as a B2C mall, mainly engaged in men's clothing, allowing users to enjoy luxury quality at a medium price, advocating simplicity, depth, freedom, environmental protection and ......"

Lin Fan nodded while laughing, and laughed so much that Lei Jun was a little overwhelmed. Why does Lin Fan want to laugh, who doesn't know about this company? In 2010, Vancl began to catch fire, and he still remembers Han Han's Vancl declaration:

Love the Internet, love freedom,

Love to get up late, love night food stalls, love racing;

I also love 59 canvas shoes, I'm not a standard-bearer,

It's not anyone's endorsement, I'm Han Han,

I only speak for myself.

I'm just like you, I'm a mortal.

It is also with the fire of Vancl that Vancl entered the public eye and began to move towards its own glory, in 2011 Vancl's sales reached 6 billion, but then Vancl declined rapidly. The company, which was once valued at $3 billion, failed in IPO, was exposed to a debt crisis, and successively experienced layoffs, and the executive exodus did not gradually recover until 2015.

The reason for all this is not unrelated to the aging of his leader, he is actually very similar to Zhang Chaoyang, Zhang Chaoyang's inflated performance after his success is to play around, indifferent to the company's affairs, thus missing many opportunities. Chen Nian is too confident, and the abundant orders allowed him to expand more than 30 production lines in a year, and the accumulation of too many inventory products directly led to the company's crisis.

Chen Nian even raised the sales target from 6 billion to 10 billion, which is too fierce. It's like the sketch played by Xiao Shenyang, he asked Shen Chunyang how big is playing mahjong? Shen Chunyang said that he played 100 million and floated 1 billion.

"What are you laughing at?"

Lin Fan naturally can't say that Vanke is a big pit, and besides, as a traverser, if he can't even change the future, what kind of traverser is he?" "I'm also doing B2C, Lao Lei, do you think I'll raise tigers for trouble?"

"I don't know if Mr. Lin will invest, but I know that Mr. Lin has already invested in JD.com. ”

"That's what I like about him. ”

"Then I can't find a reason for Mr. Lin to refuse. ”

Lin Fan blinked his eyes again, "If I heard correctly, Lao Lei, are you slandering me?"

"The reason why you are optimistic about JD.com is very simple, it has its own logistics, high-quality self-operated products, and these Vanke have it. And Vancl is even more carried forward in terms of self-operation, with its own production line and its own brand, which is not just a platform.

In addition, Lao Chen was the CEO and founder of Excellence.com, and this time Vancl's team is an excellent old team, and the execution is absolutely unique, and the e-commerce industry is particularly familiar to them. ”

"Old Lei, in fact, you are not suitable to be a lobbyist. ”

"Oh?" Lei Jun was a little surprised.

"I agreed. Lin Fan smiled, "It's not because your lobbyist skills are strong, but I think this project is really valuable." ”

Well, Lei Jun was a little helpless.

"Let's talk about it another day, let's hurry up and make a charter. ”

"It's so refreshing to do things with Mr. Lin. ”

……

Lin Fan was at ease like a fairy, but Ma Yun was speechless to death, and the market value of the mortal mall had been coaxed to $3.9 billion. A remodeled company is almost a quarter of Alibaba's.

In fact, this valuation is not surprising, Vanke's annual turnover of 6 billion can be estimated at 3 billion US dollars, and it is not too much for mortals to be speculated to nearly 4 billion US dollars a day. In fact, Ma Yun is also prepared for these, but he didn't expect that he was not the only one in the market who had confidence in the mortal mall, which strengthened Ma Yun's confidence in exchanging shares with the mortal mall.

At the headquarters of Mortal Mall, Ma Yun saw Lin Fan again, to be honest, he had just come from Hangzhou, and this time he not only wanted to facilitate the contract, but also had another request.

"Lao Lin, the spring breeze has been proud lately. ”

"Indeed, especially the valuation of the Mortal Mall is rising, and I can't close my mouth with joy. ”

Ma Yun is helpless, this Lin Fan is too bad, and he always uses these to stimulate him.

"Mr. Lin, I want to facilitate the contract between the two parties this time, but you also know the valuation, venture capital has always been profit-oriented, and all parties of the company may not consider it clearly. ”

"Are horses always lowering prices?" but Lin Fan smiled confidently, "Even if the valuation is cheap, Ma is worth 500 million US dollars, but I believe that as long as I release the Double 11 mortals to hold a carnival shopping festival again, do you think the valuation will soar?"

Of course, it will soar, and if this carnival is successful again, it means that mortals can reach seven or eight billion in sales in just two shopping festivals, which will definitely soar to the sky.

And Ma Yun is now all focused on the Double 11 shopping carnival, and his other request this time is to join the carnival of mortals, but he didn't expect to hold another one in November.

"Mr. Lin, I can exchange your company's $4.5 billion valuation for shares, but I have a request, Ali to join the Double 11 shopping carnival. ”

Lin Fan was stunned for a moment and shook his head randomly, "You can join, but not this year." ”

"Why"

"First, I don't know if Double 11 will be successful, after all, it is less than half a year since the last carnival. Second, even if it will be 100% successful, I am not allowed to join, because the brand of this carnival has not been made, and too many e-commerce companies will be distracted, which is not conducive to the brand effect of this carnival. ”

Ma Yun nodded a little frustratedly, he understood that what Lin Fan said was right.

"Actually, Mr. Ma has drilled the horns, why doesn't Ali prepare a carnival of his own?"

"Can we?"

"Why not, if Mr. Ma doesn't mind, I can give a little guidance. ”
