Chapter 141: Winter is coming

For a company, it is indeed very important to enhance its popularity and reputation, but with the current situation of Luzhu, it is completely acceptable for Lu Xi to do some small public welfare activities, and donating money to build a building and spending a lot of money to enhance its reputation are all things to consider later.

Seeing Sun Mingwei joking, Lu Xi also joked: "Now it is better to donate a building to others, it is better to build a building for your own employees, so that they can live comfortably, devote themselves to work wholeheartedly, and create more value." ”

Sun Mingwei didn't tell whether Lu Xi was joking or serious for a while, and said in surprise: "You don't really want to build a building, do you?" ”

If she hadn't mentioned the matter of donating the building, he wouldn't have said this, looking at Sun Mingwei's serious expression, Lu Xi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Two glasses of red wine, you drank too much?" Can't even hear the jokes? ”

Sun Mingwei pouted and said: "I haven't finished my words yet, I just want to remind you that the company is not profitable, and according to your spending speed, you will have to find a VC in a year or two." ”

After speaking, he opened the door and walked into the dormitory, found the switch and turned on the light, and saw that the dormitory was empty, and five of the eight beds were empty, so he turned around and said with a smile to Lu Xi behind him: "There are really few people in your dormitory." ”

"Isn't it good to have fewer people?" Lu Xi found his name on the label of the upper bunk bedside on the left side of the window, threw the quilt up, took the basin from Sun Mingwei's hand and put it on the bed, and then looked at the bedside with the quilt on the bed, and said with a smile: "Someone has the same name as my high school classmates." ”

"There are many streets with the same name, and it doesn't necessarily mean him." Sun Mingwei smiled, "The task is complete, shouldn't we go back, it's hotter in the dormitory than outside." ”

The second half of the college entrance examination. Qiao Yuan skipped class almost all day. Lu Xi didn't think about the guy who had the same name as him. There was no one in the dormitory, and he was not interested in waiting for his roommate to come back, so he smiled, "Then let's go." ”

After sending Sun Mingwei home, Lu Xi called Su Mei again and asked her to help book a ticket to Yanjing tomorrow morning.

The next day, he signed a work contract with Xie Wen, who came to the company, and introduced him to everyone in the company, and Lu Xi went straight to Yanjing to meet Ding Yimao.

The meeting with Ding Yimao went quite smoothly, and Xie Wen was reluctantly fired by China Public Network. Ding Yimao took the initiative to leave because of the chaos within 8848, he needed a better platform for development, and Luzhu could provide him with such a platform, after two hours of long talks, Ding Yimao's appointment in Luzhu was basically finalized.

Ding Yimao also had to stay in Yanjing for a period of time to accompany his wife and daughter, and in the afternoon, the two chatted about the development of the Internet industry and the internal affairs of 8848, and after dinner, Lu Xi rushed back to Xingang by plane.

On the evening of the second day after returning to Xingang, Zhou Yi and Shen Fei also rushed to the Luzhu headquarters, and Lu Xi hosted a banquet to entertain the two. After signing the work agreement the next day, Zhou and Shen immediately flew to Seattle to participate in the development of the browser.

Send Zhou Shen and the others away. Lu Xi put his mind on the mobile project, after a week and a half, the project plan was drafted and polished, Lu Xi proposed to immediately contact several times, has been very active in the mobile company of Xingang to start negotiations, first start with the difficult mobile, and then chew Unicom This little bone that has not been reacting.

It was close to 10 o'clock in the evening when the meeting on the eve of the negotiations was dispersed, and the group went to have a supper and heard Xie Wen say that in the past two days, news about the death of related e-commerce in the United States has come to China.

Lu Xi couldn't help laughing and said, "Which bullshit expert and scholar is making a lot of nonsense? Although many companies such as Amazon and AOL's e-commerce platforms are not profitable, it is pure nonsense to say that e-commerce will die only in terms of performance. ”

Xie Wen recognized Lu Xi's words and said with a smile: "What the San Francisco Chronicle said. ”

In the past week, Lu Xi has been busy with the plan of the mobile project, and has no time to take care of other things, Yi Hongjie is also busy running businesses, the two have not been in contact, I don't know if 8848's fraud has been exposed, Lu Xi asked: "The matter of 8848 has been punctured?" Does the Nasdaq fluctuate? ”

Xie Wen shook his head and said: "There is no report on the fraud of 8848 advertorials, the San Francisco Chronicle just made some comments on the performance and financial statements of two listed e-commerce companies, even if it is said that e-commerce will die in the future, but the current impact is not large, and it has not had any impact on the stock market." ”

There has always been news that the dot-com bubble will burst, but it has no impact at all under this "madness", and dot-com technology stocks have been skyrocketing under the frenzied speculation and negative coverage, and the economists who have made relevant statements have become the laughing stock of many people. But 8848 fraud can be directly reported in the newspaper, but almost half a month has passed, and the San Francisco Chronicle only makes such a voice, and Lu Xi is a little confused about what Billy Brown means.

suddenly remembered that when they hyped Yahoo's intention to have a global music alliance, Billy Brown gained a lot, and the relationship behind him was that Wan Xingnian, an old classmate, couldn't tell the truth, Lu Xi suddenly thought that what he was trying to do was not small, maybe one day there would be super big news.

After pondering for a while, Lu Xi was about to call Wan Xingnian to ask what Billy Brown was doing, but as soon as he took out his mobile phone, Yi Hongjie's phone called, and he excitedly asked where the others were.

Telling him the address, Lu Xi said again: "You are in a hurry to come over, do you have any good news to say?" ”

Yi Hongjie laughed twice and said, "I'll talk about it later, Lao Shu is also by my side, and we'll be there soon." ”

Seeing that Yi Hongjie was playing tricks with him, Lu Xi hung up the phone and said to a few people with a smile: "Brother Yi and Lao Shu will be here soon, and there is good news to tell us." ”

Yi Hongjie was very loud on the phone, and Li Zhijie, who was sitting next to Lu Xi, also heard his excited voice and asked, "It's morning in San Francisco, right?" Is it that 8848 fraud has been reported? ”

Lu Xi thought so in his heart, and said, "I'll know when they come." ”

Li Zhijie said again: "President Xie was kicked out by Haiyun Holdings because he did not complete the financing, and the 8848 financing could not be completed, will Zhou Chinese, who can't support Adou, also be kicked out?" ”

Zhou Chinese is indeed a can't support Adou, 8848 in order to finance, through the relationship between Yang Zhiyuan and Xue Bixun and others will be soft text advertising in the Wall Street Journal, Zhou Chinese is fully responsible for this matter, as long as he speaks according to the facts, overseas financing will go smoothly, but he is a snake to add more than this, using B2C performance to pretend to be B2B performance, making 8848 extremely passive now.

Since seeing the deception of 8848 in the Wall Street Journal, and meeting with Ding Yimao, who voluntarily resigned, and learning a lot about the 8848 chaos, Lu Xi was busy with the mobile project and didn't care about 8848, and said with a smile: "Maybe." ”

Xie Wen also knows a lot about 8848 through Ding Yimao, and he doesn't mind Li Zhijie saying that Zhou Chinese brought him in, saying: "Zhou Chinese will definitely be kicked out if he makes a good chess hand like this, and we will not see him in this circle again in the future." ”

Sun Mingwei turned his head and said with a smile: "Then Yao Libin is happy." ”

Seeing her mention Yao Libin, Lu Xi couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, he always thought that Yao Libin was holding a speculative purpose to invest in 8848, and would stand with Yu Liye and others to support Yu Liye and others' financing plans, but he didn't expect Yao Libin to stand with Wang Junhui and do his best to do b2c business.

While several people were talking, Yi Hongjie and Shu Jiankun rushed over, looking at Yi Hongjie's expression full of spring breeze, Lu Xi threw Yao Libin aside and didn't want to, asked the waiter to add two chairs, and said, "Is it the broken incident of 8848 that has been reported?" ”

Yi Hongjie deliberately kept his face stiff and didn't say anything, asked the waiter to bring a few desserts and coffee from the menu, and saw Lu Xi and the others showing a look of contempt, and then said with a smile: "8848 overseas financing is basically out of play." ”

He was very excited on the phone, and when he heard him say this, Lu Xi didn't feel too surprised, and said with a smile: "Ding Yimao took the initiative to resign, and now 8848 can't get financing, and then they will have a series of changes, let's wait and see." ”

Shu Jiankun took the coffee cup brought by the waiter and put it in front of him, and said: "The 8848 report in the San Francisco Chronicle only took a short time overstock.Com. buy.Com is the main object of the report, and the Wall Street Journal news today also has a large number of reports on this matter, and some securities institutions and scholars have also published relevant comments in the Wall Street Journal, Morgan Stanley's chief investor Biggs is one of them, and the economist Lagsman has also made some remarks in the Washington Post, and they all agree that this capital feast is about to come to an end. ”

Then Shu Jiankun said: "Hongjie contacted Billy Brown through Lao Wan, it has been almost half a month since today, he has made such a big move, there must be some other institutions behind it, involving some interests, right?" ”

I don't know who is standing behind Billy Brown, but the San Francisco Chronicle's negative reports on the entire e-commerce field, the relevant reports of the Wall Street Journal, the remarks of Biggs and Ragsman and others, Lu Xi thinks that they do not exist independently, and when he saw Shu Jiankun thinking of going with him, he asked: "What is the trend of the Nasdaq opening?" ”

Shu Jiankun replied: "There have been a lot of related reports in the past two years, and the stock index has no impact, but it is the first time that there have been so many negative reports like today, and I think the cold winter of the Internet industry is coming." ”

That life 8848 also appeared in the Wall Street Journal, but Lu Xi has forgotten the content of the news, does not know whether it is fake, and this life Zhou Chinese on the soft article fraud was discovered by him, Yi Hongjie contacted Billy Brown to attract today's related reports, he is not sure whether the trajectory will develop as in the previous life, and the bubble will not be punctured until March next year.

After pondering for a while, Lu Xi looked at a few people and said, "Luzhu is going to have some related plans now." (To be continued......)
