Chapter 109: It's a Beautiful Dream
If you want to be the leader of a group, you have to get used to giving orders, and if one day you get used to doing things according to other people's orders, then you can only prove that you are being led by others.
In a hotel room in Ninghai, Li Lei stood there quietly, through the window blocked by blue curtains, he could see the small place in front of him, and the brightly lit city in the distance, this is the highest floor of the hotel, and the top floor of the thirty-third floor is one of the tallest buildings even in this city, so Li Lei stands here as if he is looking down on the whole city.
Many times Li Lei's stubbornness will make people feel that he is a little rigid, or even absolutely selfish, but doing things forward-looking is not because he has no courage, but because the responsibility on his shoulders is too great, and it is inevitable that he will think too much about doing things.
Maybe Li Lei should really push the matter to Du Feng or Chen Kai and others, or he should silently accept the requirements of the venture capital company, so that many things become simpler, but Li Lei is not reconciled, he made the most difficult decision, the seemingly understated decision means that Li Lei has a quality that can be called courage, and the goal he wants to challenge is a certain unspoken rule shrouded in the entire shopping mall, this invisible rule that has existed for many years and no one can subvert it, may make himself doomedγ
But Li Lei still felt that he should try this matter.
"You've really decided?"
Du Feng came to Li Lei's side and asked in a low voice.
Just now, the three of them met with a negotiator from a venture capital company, and the other party seemed to be prepared for Meituan's rejection of the 10 million offer, and directly proposed that they were willing to buy the current Meituan Takeaway in full at a price of 50 million.
This news made Chen Kai and Du Feng a little moved, after all, it was 50 million, not a small amount.
But in the end, Li Lei still refused.
On the one hand, he made this decision because he felt that the so-called venture capital company of the other party was a little unreliable, how could there be such a negotiation. On the other hand, there is confidence in Meituan.
Li Lei feels that his idea will change the way of life of many people.
This time, instead of waiting for a call from the voice, he made his own decision.
Although even Li Lei himself doesn't know whether it is right or wrong to do this.
"Brother Du, you say, will I miss the best opportunity for the company's development with this decision?" Li Lei was silent for a moment and asked Du Feng.
Du Feng shrugged: "Who knows? In this life, people don't even know what will happen tomorrow, let alone in the future?"
It makes sense for him to say this, after all, the future is uncertain, even Du Feng himself, half a year ago, I am afraid he would never have imagined that he would quit his job as a policeman, give up his desire to be obsessed with officialdom, and become a complete businessman.
Li Lei laughed: "Yes, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
The originally suppressed emotions in his heart were instantly relaxed at that moment, and the reason was very simple, because he suddenly remembered that when he called the voice once, the voice seemed to be still taking that Meituan.
Assuming that this Meituan was founded by itself, that means that after many years, Meituan is still there.
"Okay, so be it, I think, without venture capital, we can still build the market. Du Feng said to Li Lei with a smile.
The two of them laughed together, in fact, for the current situation, it is actually what Li Lei and Du Feng are willing to see, because if they accept venture capital, with the addition of capital, I am afraid that there will be cracks between the once flawless partners.
After a pause, Du Feng glanced at Li Lei and whispered, "Chen Kai's ...... over there"
Chen Kai agreed with this matter, but Li Lei and Du Feng objected, even if he was unwilling, there was nothing he could do. But after all, he is a shareholder of the company and Li Lei's classmate, Du Feng still doesn't want to cause a rift in the relationship between them because of this incident.
Li Lei tilted his head and thought for a moment: "I'll go talk to him." β
Du Feng nodded, after all, his relationship with Chen Kai was so bad, and it was most appropriate for Li Lei to come forward in this matter.
Li Lei turned around and walked out of the room, came to the door of another room, and knocked on the door.
"Who?" said Chen Kai's voice from inside.
"I, Li Lei. β
"Ah, wait. β
After a while, the door of the room was opened, and Chen Kai saw Li Lei, obviously stunned: "Why are you here?"
Because they had to negotiate with the venture capital company, several people actually did not go back to the school dormitory after receiving Li Lei, but opened three rooms in the hotel.
As a result, during the negotiation at night, the direct negotiation collapsed, so after everyone went back to their rooms, they were all preoccupied.
"I can't sleep, I'm going to talk to you. Li Lei blinked his eyes and smiled at Chen Kai.
Chen Kai was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Come in." β
Because it is one of the few star-rated hotels in Ninghai City, the decoration in the room is very good, Li Lei sat down on the sofa, picked up a bottle of water, unscrewed the lid and took a sip, moistened his throat, and smiled at Chen Kai: "What's the matter, I still don't understand why I rejected their offer?"
Chen Kai glanced at Li Lei, didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "To be honest, I don't care about the offer of 10 million. But 50 million, I'm really impressed. β
Li Lei nodded: "Actually, I also think a lot." β
Chen Kai smiled: "Do you know, before I went to college, I never even thought that one day someone would be willing to spend tens of millions of dollars to acquire the company under my name." I never thought that I would start a business with someone like you. β
Li Lei frowned, he didn't understand what Chen Kai meant.
Chen Kai saw Li Lei's expression, and knew that his words just now made Li Lei a little overwhelmed, after all, from the beginning of the business to the present, although the relationship between Li Lei and himself is getting better and better, it is precisely because of this that everyone cherishes this feeling, even if it involves money, they will invariably choose to back down.
"Seriously, Li Lei, you are a genius, do you know why I agreed to this offer of 5,000 watts?" Chen Kai looked at Li Lei and asked word by word.
Li Lei shook his head lightly: "Seriously, I don't know, because I don't believe it, you can't see the future development prospects of Meituan." β
Chen Kai looked at Li Lei's eyes, with a calm smile on his face, and slowly said something that moved Li Lei.
