Chapter 196: Bait Fishing

When a company reaches a market capitalization of $1 billion, it is called a unicorn. Of course, the unicorn here is not a fictional creature with a spiral horn in front of its forehead, representing nobility, arrogance and purity, and a pair of wings, which is a great honor and affirmation of the enterprise.

Xu Sheng felt very strange, a few days ago he could obviously feel Lin Fan's anxiety, this is an intuition that has been working together for a long time, he feels that Lin Fan has encountered something, and he also knows that Lin Fan's encounter with difficulties will never be a trivial matter, so he is ready to find a chance to talk to Lin Fan well, but in the current situation, it seems that there is no need to use it.

After Lin Fan dealt with the company's affairs, he always liked to make a cup of tea and then watch variety shows. Well, although this is not serious, and it is not like something that a billion-dollar boss can do, but this is the case, what can Lin Fan do, he is also very helpless, who let him have such a hobby.

Now it has not ushered in the era when variety shows are king, and there are no terrifying hundreds of variety shows in China, like the famous Feicheng Do Not Disturb in later generations, well, Meng Fei doesn't know where he is. These seven are now a little better than Deng Chao, and they are popular students in China. All Lin Fan can read is the fast book, an evergreen column for more than ten years.

"Mr. Lin?"

Xu Sheng was a little helpless Lin Fan wore headphones and laughed, which was incomprehensible to people of his time, he and Lin Fan were both otaku, but the way he chose to kill time was definitely different, he would choose to study technology or work, and Lin Fan would choose to watch variety shows or anime, of course, the reason was because Lin Fan came from the afterlife.

"Lao Xu, is there something wrong?"

"No, it's just that I'm a little curious to see that Mr. Lin is so happy, Mr. Lin doesn't want to share it?" Xu Sheng blinked.

"Share you big head, does the company give you the position of CEO to make you care about the boss's gossip?"

Xu Sheng looked not ashamed but proud, "It is also one of the responsibilities of subordinates to be able to make the boss devote himself to work." ”

"Which eye do you have to see that I'm not fully engaged in my work?"

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, Mr. Lin's spring is coming?"

"Do you believe that I deducted your salary?"

"Ah, it occurred to me that I had something to do, and that I had a schedule for developing the browser on your desk. ”

Xu Sheng's desertion and escape made Lin Faha laugh, but the report form did not surprise him, the progress is still surprisingly slow, and now the development of the browser has been carried out for a month, not that it can't be done, but Lin Fan's requirements are too high, Lin Fan, who has experienced many browser bombardments in his previous life, is extremely picky about the product, which has hindered the work of the development team, but no one complains, at present, mortal products are golden signboards in China, and mortal staff don't want to smash their own signboards.

Lin Fan looked at his watch, it was already half past ten in the morning, he also made an appointment to meet someone, picked up his coat, and Lin Fan was ready to meet his guests.

When meeting in the cold and windy winter, a warm place is the best choice, and it would be even more perfect if a pot of wine was warmed, so Lin Fan chose a Japanese restaurant.

Of course, in the past life and this life, this is the first time Lin Fan has come, and he only came because the name of sake is good, well, it is difficult to refuse.

The wooden door was opened, and Lin Fan's guest arrived, which was also an acquaintance, it was Li Chengqian, the investment manager of IDG, "I didn't expect President Lin to choose to meet here." ”

"It's just that I've heard others say that Wen sake is beautiful, and I want to be elegant. ”

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Mr. Lin's words don't look like a businessman. ”

In fact, it was still a little embarrassing for the two to meet, before the first round of investment IDG was full of confidence in Lin Fan, and wanted to get a good share in the second round, but I didn't expect Microsoft's sudden intervention to make the market value of mortals swell dozens of times, which undoubtedly made IDG retreat, Microsoft and Sequoia are the first of the world's Internet companies and one of the world's top five investment banks, with deep pockets, IDG naturally cannot be compared with it.

Of course, this is not the main reason, IDG belongs to foreign capital, and the branch of Huaxia is the reference to the partnership system, the partner is not the actual owner of the company, but has higher rights and returns, so once the investment mistake is large, he will be demoted to an assistant again. This requires them to be cautious.

And Li Chengqian didn't think it was strange for the two to meet, and shared with great interest: "The two new investments introduced by Mortal are great, as far as I know, because of the Microsoft Store, the number of downloads of Mortal Antivirus abroad has exceeded five million, and PS has also reached millions of downloads under the promotion of resources from Google and other companies, I think the bet between you and Mr. Qiu Bojun should be about to succeed." ”

Lin Fan was stunned, "How do you know that I made a bet with Mr. Qiu?" To be honest, Lin Fan almost forgot about it.

"With Mr. Lin's successful investment in the United States, there is no secret to all your affairs. ”

"Maybe I open a bottle of champagne to celebrate, I don't have to lose to the total of six million dollars. ”

Li Chengqian, a handsome man, smiled, "I think Mr. Lin has a lot of bamboo in his chest, and he didn't think that he would lose at all." ”

"Mr. Li has so much confidence in me?"

"Of course, maybe a little late. ”

Lin Fan heard a lot of meaning in this sentence, Lin Fan didn't guess wrong, Li Chengqian regretted it a little, he was in charge of investment in high-tech companies in IDG Huaxia, and when the results of Mortal North America came over, he did regret it, but Li Chengqian's mentality was exactly what Lin Fan wanted.

"Mr. Li wants to make money?"

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, could it be that there is still a chance to buy a ticket to get on the ship?" "Lin always wants to open up to me?"

Lin Fan nodded and shook his head, "I just made sure that Mr. Li could make money, as for the way to make money, it was different from what Mr. Li thought, this time I took the initiative to send it to the door." ”

"Oh?"

Lin Fan didn't have the heart to explain to Li Chengqian, but changed the topic and said, "How much does Mr. Li know about e-commerce?"

The change of topic made Li Chengqian stunned, but Li Chengqian's quality is very good, "E-commerce is a new way of doing business based on the development of the Internet, which foreign Amazon has done very well, and there are many companies in China that start in advance, but it has not set off a reputation and influence in the market." ”

"Mr. Li's professional quality is good. ”

"Just rely on this thing to eat, and naturally pay attention to it. ”

"Ha, when it comes to eating, Li always wants to try this tempura, which is a famous dish in Japanese cuisine, using flour, eggs, water and slurry, fresh fish, shrimp and seasonal vegetables are coated in batter and fried in an oil pan until golden brown. When eating, the juice made by dipping it in soy sauce and mashed radish is tender and delicious, fragrant but not greasy......"

Looking at the enthusiastic Lin Fan, Li Chengqian was really a little dizzy, didn't he want to instruct himself how to make money, why did he run to eat?
