Chapter 684: Unconvinced Shi Qiang
When Zhang Xiyue was leaving, she hesitated again and again, but still said a word to Shi Lei. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Mr. Shi, apart from our work relationship, we can be regarded as friends, right?"
Shi Lei nodded, and Zhang Xiyue said again: "As a friend, I want to say that it is not wise for you to blindly make this kind of transaction with our organization. No one can resist the temptation of the organization. ā
Looking at Zhang Xiyue, Shi Lei heard the meaning of her seemingly simple words.
On the surface, Zhang Xiyue seemed to be saying that Shi Lei didn't need to be so cautious, and almost all the other members asked the pupil of the night to do things in the way of overdrawing the future, and they were all alive and well now. Shi Lei insisted on trading with money and goods, and now he doesn't have enough money to come up with other means of exchange, which is not a wise choice.
But Shi Lei heard other meanings in Zhang Xiyue's words.
Zhang Xiyue seemed to be warning Shi Lei that if he wants to resist the temptation of the Pupil of the Night, the best way is not to ask the Pupil of the Night for help, many things are flexible, and there may not be a better solution. Zhang Xiyue deeply understands the ability of the Pupil of the Night, once she becomes dependent on the Pupil of the Night, when she encounters any problem, she will immediately think of letting the Pupil of the Night take action.
It's like some addictive drug, which makes people addictive.
Shi Lei nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you for the reminder." ā
Zhang Xiyue glanced at Shi Lei deeply, I don't know if Shi Lei really understood what she meant, but she couldn't say too much, so she could only say goodbye and leave.
Shi Lei looked at the decoration of the villa for a while and returned to the city.
Shi Qiang called suddenly, he knew from Zhang Xiyue that Shi Lei had returned to Wudong, and he said that he wanted Shi Lei to have a meal.
Shi Lei happily went to the appointment, first went to Wu University to pick up Sun Yiyi, and then drove to the restaurant that Shi Qiang had booked.
The huge private room is a large table that can seat twenty people, but at this moment there are only four people sitting at the table.
Shi Lei scratched his head and said, "Titan, there's no need for such pomp between us, it's just a meal for four people, and it's enough to sit in the hall." ā
Shi Qiang waved his hand and said, "It's inconvenient to talk outside. ā
Shi Lei didn't say anything more, just wondering what Shi Qiang could do to find himself.
After the dishes were ready, Shi Lei knew that Shi Qiang had been very idle recently, very idle, so idle that he had nothing else to do except punch in and out of work every day.
"Zheng Xu has grown up so fast, he can actually put you in the air?" Shi Lei put down his chopsticks and asked curiously.
Shi Qiang rolled his eyes and said, "How is it possible, he is more idle than me." ā
Shi Lei understood, he smiled and said: "The company's development has entered a bottleneck?
"I'm moving a little faster, and now the outside world has valued us as high as 50 million US dollars, and I have to thank you for doing that enlightenment, although it is two different projects, but there are some similarities, the early cooperation between the two companies to achieve user level interoperability, really benefited our company a lot. Baidu and Tencent have come to talk several times, and Zheng Xu and I are a little unable to make up our minds to sell the company. In fact, we also understand that this company has reached its limit, and there is basically no room for upside. ā
Shi Lei laughed, took a chopstick dish, put it in Sun Yiyi's bowl, and said to Shi Qiang, "Reluctant?"
Shi Qiang scratched his head, a heavy point.
"This doesn't suit your style, you were in Silicon Valley for a few years, you started a business several times, and you didn't sell the company without hesitation? ā
"This ......" Shi Qiang was a little speechless.
Zhang Xiyue also helped Shi Qiang with a chopstick dish on the side, and then said with a smile: "He, I just think this is his first successful entrepreneurship, which is very memorable." In the United States, although the valuation of each company was much higher than it is now, 50 million US dollars, which was not enough for a fraction of any company in his past few years. But those companies were failures in his eyes, and only this time was a success. At the beginning, even he himself was a little angry, so he would say that he would value the company at 200 million within a year. But now, he has joined the company for less than half a year, and his valuation has reached more than 300 million. He actually knows very well that if it drags on, the company's valuation is likely to decline instead, but he just can't bear it. ā
Shi Lei picked up the wine dispenser, walked behind Shi Qiang, and helped him fill the cup: "Come, have a drink." ā
Shi Qiang looked at Shi Lei and drank it all.
Shi Lei filled him up again, and then said, "What about Zheng Xu?
"He is more reluctant than me. ā
"It's expected. For you, this company means that you have succeeded for the first time in your business. For Zheng Xu, this company, this project, can almost be said to be his child. However, if Zheng Xu doesn't care about his future, he can completely let the acquisition company take him in and become the head of the technical department. But what about you? Is it possible that you are willing to commit yourself to a large domestic enterprise to be an executive? Although I believe that both Baidu and Tencent should be willing to accept your joining, and the position will not be too bad. ā
Shi Lei touched the cup with Shi Qiang again, and after the two finished drinking, Shi Lei continued.
"Compared to you, I actually have more reason to be reluctant to this company. This is the first investment in my life, and the first successful investment, which allowed me to get the first pot of gold in my life, during which there were some episodes, and then there was enlightenment. However, although I am only from an ordinary family, I understand better that capital is capital, projects are just projects, and what we pursue should be the continuous expansion of capital, and see that new projects are constantly produced in our hands, rather than holding on to the defects and lying on the past projects like a girl. ā
Shi Qiang looked up at Shi Lei, and stopped talking.
Zhang Xiyue said with a smile: "Shi Shao, your words are too shocking, I and Yiyi are here." ā
Shi Lei smiled and said, "You know what I mean. ā
Zhang Xiyue nodded and gently pushed Shi Qiang, Shi Qiang took the initiative to take the wine dispenser from Shi Lei's hand, and poured a third glass of wine for Shi Lei and himself.
"It's not more than three, this third glass of wine, I salute you. ā
After drinking, Shi Qiang said again: "To be honest, I have always thought that I am a genius, and in fact, I still think so. However, when I see you, I always feel a head short of you. You are a genius, 300,000 investments, in fact, only 100,000 at the beginning, successfully dug the first pot of gold. Then, the valuation of Qixuan's A round was already 500 million, and now it will only be higher. Seeing that the flash mob has only been out for more than a week, the company has been established, and even the project has only been established for more than a month, and the valuation of the venture capital circle has reached more than 100 million. It's not impossible for me to estimate 200 million. After all, for an emerging project, premium valuations are all too normal, especially under the banner of sharing. If it weren't for the fact that your actions in the past six months have been so amazing, I probably wouldn't have been so reluctant to let go of the current project. I've been very idle these days, and every day I wonder if I can find a new entry point to continue this project and create a miracle for an emerging project. However, no matter how I dissect it, I can only conclude that the project has come to an end, and being acquired is the best option. People are more angry than people!"
Shi Lei laughed and said: "You think that whether it is your background, education, or talent, all your backgrounds are stronger than mine, so you are very unconvinced, right?"
