Chapter 466: Returning home with a bunch of bad debts
After going back to the room and resting for a while, Cheng Yu took a shower by himself and asked Zhang Ziqing, and after he said that he didn't need to take a bath, the two left the hotel.
said that Cheng Yu and Zhang Ziqing took turns driving, but it was less than four hours of driving, and Zhang Ziqing was still asking Cheng Yu for help, so he was embarrassed to let the eldest young master drive.
Three and a half hours later, the two arrived in Wudong.
As soon as the car drove off the highway, Cheng Yu sent a WeChat message to Xue Changyun, asking him if he had arrived in Wudong.
Soon, Xue Changyun sent a reply, saying that he had arrived in Wudong and was staying in a hotel not far from Cheng Yu and Du Xiaoyu's Wudong courtyard.
Cheng Yu directly sent Zhang Ziqing over.
When Zhang Ziqing opened the room downstairs, Xue Changyun also came down from upstairs, and the two met.
Looking at Zhang Ziqing, who was going through the procedures for opening a room at the front desk, Cheng Yu pouted and said, "Oh, it's that person." ”
Xue Changyun frowned slightly, as if he didn't have the slightest impression of Zhang Ziqing, he asked, "Who is that person?" ”
"Xue Gongzi is busy, it's normal not to remember him. ”
"Don't tease me, who is that man, how could he know that my father was going to have surgery in the United States, and how could he come to see him?"
Cheng Yu smiled and told Xue Changyun about Zhang Ziqing's identity and the previous situation.
Xue Changyun seemed to think about it and said: "I seem to have some impressions, I did invest in an Internet project in the past two years, and it can be regarded as a test for me to move towards the Internet."
However, the process was not too pleasant, but fortunately, in the end, I didn't lose money, and there was a little profit. The overall time is not long, only about a year.
At that time, there was a disagreement between our investors and their technical side, and there were actually people who were willing to invest in that project at that time, and even I said that even if no one was willing to invest, I was willing to pursue it.
However, the technical side said that they were ready to abandon the project altogether and sell it as a supplement to one of the projects of another company.
The sale was just a sale of the project, and all of their technicians remained with the company.
This is also the most unacceptable place for our three investors.
If it is sold together with their company, it can form a share swap, and we can still hold the shares of the expanded project.
But they chose to sell for cash, which means that we are forced to cash out.
Although it was not a loss of money, it made several of us unhappy.
The gang also said at the time that their next projects would be better and that we could invest in their new projects if we wanted to.
I was a little angry, but I thought it would be okay if there was a new project.
But after waiting for two months, they didn't bring any new plans, so I asked the company's people to investigate, and found that their technical backbones, in fact, are also in business, and they do have a new project, but it is the capital given by the family.
I'm really upset about this, but after all, it's just a small project with a multi-million investment, so I don't pay too much attention to it.
It's been two or three years since this happened, but I didn't expect him to remember?"
Cheng Yu still smiled and said: "On the plane, he explained to me, saying that he really planned to continue to accept your investment, and for them, there is no substantive difference between the investment from the family and the acceptance of foreign funds.
But their family insisted on investing on their own, and they could only accept it.
And that project is really good, the current market valuation of their company is said to be billions of dollars, if you still invest according to the previous proportion, then the millions should be able to increase by one or two hundred times now.
Therefore, he still feels a little guilty about you, after all, his first project after returning to China, looking for investment was not smooth enough, and it was you who finally invested in him, which allowed him to have a second project.
Otherwise, I am afraid that he would have been asked by his family to manage the family business a long time ago. ”
"But how did he know about my father's situation? We have always kept this matter a secret!" Xue Changyun was still a little puzzled, and there was a little caution in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Ziqing.
Cheng Yu glanced at Zhang Ziqing, and saw that Zhang Ziqing had already taken the room card and walked towards them, so he gently patted Xue Changyun's shoulder and said, "You can ask him directly about this, after all, they are not very familiar with each other, and it is easy to deal with each other honestly." All in all, I think that since Uncle Xue's chief surgeon also respects the expert he said, then the two sides can really have a consultation, and the certainty of the operation of the elderly will be greater. ”
Xue Changyun nodded, and Zhang Ziqing had already walked over.
Zhang Ziqing's posture was very low, and as soon as they met, he bent down, stretched out his hands to Xue Changyun, and said, "Xue Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't know if you still remember me." ”
Xue Changyun pointed at Cheng Yu and said, "If he doesn't remind him, I really don't remember much." We've probably met once or twice before, and most of them are my assistants dealing with you. ”
Zhang Ziqing nodded, and Xue Changyun also stretched out his hand and shook it with Zhang Ziqing.
"I'm really sorry that I thought it was the same thing, even all my partners.
We are very optimistic about the second project, so we will sell the first project directly in cash.
At that time, everyone felt that after surviving the initial development stage and the project entered the actual trading stage, we needed to raise funds.
We still want to accept your investment.
However, because of the early development of the project, we also carried out some market explorations at the same time, and SoftBank was quite optimistic about our project, so it took the initiative to contact us and wanted us to accept their investment.
We didn't dare to refuse outright, after all, it was SoftBank.
But it also let our parents know that our project should be quite promising, so they discussed it and decided that they would make a Series A investment.
After the A round, our market value was overvalued by venture capital institutions, and when we still had a few million left in our hands and could at least survive for a few more months, we gave a valuation of more than 400 million.
Although we also have the intention to continue to look for you in the B round, after all, the valuation is high, and we are not sure enough, so we dare not look for you. ”
Xue Changyun glanced at Zhang Ziqing deeply, and felt that at least in terms of attitude, Zhang Ziqing was quite sincere, so he nodded slightly with Cheng Yu.
"It's all in the past, and even if you do find me in Series B, I won't necessarily invest.
Our company has nothing to do with the Internet, and I invested in you before, just to try the water in the Internet field.
An investment of a few million is fine, but if it is as high as tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, I will definitely not consider it.
What I'm more concerned about now is that my father has been doing a good job of keeping his situation secret, how did you find out which hospital he was staying in?"
Zhang Ziqing just wanted to speak, but Cheng Yu stood up and said, "You two talk, I have to go home first." For more than half a month, I have been in a state of disconnection. ”
When Xue Changyun heard this, he also stood up and sent Cheng Yu to the gate of the hotel with Zhang Ziqing.
Cheng Yu got into the car directly and drove back to Wudong Yard.
As for the conversation between Xue Changyun and Zhang Ziqing, he didn't want to interfere too much. He just felt that there was nothing wrong with Zhang Ziqing's proposal, but it was unknown whether Zhang Ziqing had another purpose, and Cheng Yu really didn't want to affect Xue Changyun's judgment because he was too involved.
Hearing the knock on the door, Aunt Zhang walked out of the room, holding a rag in her hand, probably cleaning up the house.
Seeing that it was Cheng Yu, Aunt Zhang was full of smiles and hurriedly stepped forward: "Uncle, you are back." Ouch, you've been gone for more than half a month, and the young lady is in a hurry. Although she doesn't say it, I grew up watching her grow up and know her too well. I've never seen anyone make Miss so worried. ”
Cheng Yu smiled slightly and said, "Aunt Zhang, I drove back directly from the magic capital after getting off the plane, I was a little tired, I contacted Xiaoyu before, and said that I would go to her parents' place for dinner together in the evening." I'll go back to the house and lie down for a while. ”
"Yes, yes, my uncle hurry up and rest and rest, and I have to fall down at this time. ”
Cheng Yu nodded, but muttered in his heart, Aunt Zhang knows a lot, and even I came back from abroad.
But he didn't think much about it, and went straight back to the house.
Closing the curtains, Cheng Yu looked at the neatly stacked bed, or got into his own space capsule and lay down.
sent a WeChat message to Du Xiaoyu and told her that she had arrived home.
Du Xiaoyu quickly replied and said, "Your mobile phone card has been repaired, and it is on my bedside table." I have a meeting in the afternoon, and it will be over at about three o'clock. Are you tired? If you're too tired, you either don't go to my parents today, or you can go tomorrow. ”
"It's okay, I slept well on the plane, and I got a driver to help me drive when I came back from the magic capital. I'll just lie down for a while. ”
"Alright, I'll go back after the meeting. ”
Cheng Yu threw his phone aside, got out of the space capsule, and found the mobile phone card that Du Xiaoyu had reissued for him on the bedside table.
After the replacement was completed, Cheng Yu called Ning Kezhu.
As soon as the phone was connected, Ning Kezhu answered the phone, and the voice on the phone was very loud and seemed very eager.
"Yu'er, where are you going, you are in a hurry. The phone can't get through, and you don't give back the WeChat. What the hell is going on with you?"
Seeing his mother yelling, Cheng Yu also subconsciously kept his mobile phone away from his ears, but his heart was extremely warm, because this was the most direct and simple love from his mother.
"Mom, what can I do. Isn't this the company's business busy, and I went to South America. As a result, as soon as I got there, my phone was stolen. Later, I made a local phone, but there was no Internet signal in the place I went, and I didn't remember your phone number, so I didn't contact you. ”
"You kid, why are you so careless, where did you run, there is no Internet signal? And your dad, don't look at your dad as if he is a piece of wood, but in fact, I can also see that you haven't heard any news in the past half a month, and he is really anxious. ”
"Pull it down, where can Lao Cheng be in a hurry. I'm fine anyway, it's just a normal business trip. Originally, it was only about a week, but I didn't expect to meet my classmates from USC, and then it involved some other things, so I went back to Los Angeles. That's why it's been delayed to this day. ”
"You kid, you don't even know to contact us when you get to Los Angeles. Ning Kezhu blamed Cheng Yu, and then said: "You better call your dad and tell him so that he can rest assured." ”
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "I'm afraid that Old Cheng already knew that I was back......
"Oh, no way, why wouldn't he tell me if he knew you were back?"
"The flight I took back from Los Angeles, wasn't that our family? The crew even prepared Moutai for me, can I still talk to the boss? Lao Cheng is like that, he didn't worry about my loss of contact when he came, and secondly, he had already learned that I was okay and was already on the plane back to China, so he must be even more quiet. It seems that he is very rational and emotionless. ”
"You kid, what did you say about your father?"
"Wood, that's what you said. ”
Ning Kezhu laughed and said angrily: "Yu'er, don't always be against your father, okay, I'll be relieved when you come back, bring Xiaoyu back for dinner in the evening." ”
"Ouch, it won't work tonight, Xiaoyu's parents are also clamoring for me to go back with Xiaoyu. ”
"This Wei Lan, do you want to be shameless? She is marrying a daughter, how can this be the same as marrying a son-in-law and going home. My son went on a business trip for more than half a month, and when he came back, of course, he had to go back to his own house first. ”
"Mom, don't be embarrassed that I can't make it?"
Ning Kezhu said angrily: "Okay, I won't embarrass you, I'll go directly to Wei Lan." I still don't believe it, I haven't seen my son for more than half a month, what's wrong with letting my son come to see me first?"
Cheng Yu smiled and hung up the phone, this kind of thing, let the mothers of the two families toss themselves.
said that he was not tired, but he was really a little tired, this road was non-stop, Cheng Yu sent a WeChat message to Guan Lu and Gao Yiming respectively, telling them that he had returned, then threw his phone aside, fell into the capsule and fell asleep quickly.
When he woke up, it was about two o'clock, Cheng Yu sat in the room and relaxed a little, packed up the space capsule, and opened the curtains.
Aunt Zhang had obviously been paying attention to Cheng Yu's situation, and when she saw him open the curtains, she knocked on the door and asked Cheng Yu if he wanted something to eat.
Cheng Yu was holding his mobile phone and looking at it, Guan Lu and Gao Yiming were all fuss about how he disappeared for more than half a month, but obviously Gao Yiming's message had more content.
But he didn't dare to say it explicitly, he probably heard Xiao Xian mention something to him, and he also knew that Cheng Yu had done some illegal things when he went to South America this time, at least Xiao Xian must have done a lot of it, and even the telecom operators on Renfa Island were hacked.
You don't have to go back to the pipeline, and I'll talk about it when we meet again.
And Gao Yiming asked him when he would have time to meet and talk, Cheng Yu thought about it, and still replied.
"I'm going home for dinner today and I have some things to attend to tomorrow. If nothing else, I'll either look for you at nine or ten o'clock tomorrow night, or I'll go to your company the day after tomorrow. ”
Gao Yiming replied quickly, with only one word: "Okay." ”
Cheng Yu pondered while eating the food that Aunt Zhang had made, and sent a message to Lao Bian.
Lao Bian quickly dialed back directly.
"Cheng Shao, you can be regarded as back.
Li Dali's side is now in quarantine and review, and this procedure is estimated to have to be processed for a few days, and I also need to get some information from you.
They've been urging me for the past two days, asking if I can get in touch with you.
Based on what your own embassy in the Falklands said, I pushed two five or six, and directly said that your mobile phone was dropped, and if you don't take the initiative to contact me, I can't contact you.
But they've been asking for questions, and let me tell you, once you're back, it's best to meet them right away. ”
"Hey, can they control the heavens and the earth and still control me?
I met Li Dali by chance, he needs to be quarantined and examined because of visa and passport issues, what does it matter to me?
Why should I go to them as soon as I come back?
I haven't been back for more than half a month, and my family has to see them all one by one?
And I haven't been in the company for more than half a month, and I can't deal with the company's affairs?
Well, since they have been tracking you and asking, they must have been paying attention to the entry customs.
The news of my return must have been known to them. Don't worry about it, if they ask you again, you just say, I have some things to deal with.
I'll get in touch with them next Monday.
I have a normal business trip abroad, what can I explain?
It's like I'm a guilty person, and they're begging to check with me, okay?
Figure out priorities. ”
Cheng Yu's tone is not good, and he is a little suspicious that I will be mad if you talk about it again, Lao Bian Zhiwu said a few words, and felt that what Cheng Yu said was also reasonable.
Although Li Dali's matter is not only about visas and passports, but about people who used to be in the military, who have been missing for several years, and are also involved with foreign armed forces, he will definitely be investigated after returning to China.
This is not something that the police are investigating.
Li Dali's current situation is that he was arranged to stay in a hotel as soon as he returned to China, and it is not that his freedom is restricted like shuanggui, he can go out, but he must be accompanied by the police.
Now it is the military and the government that are working together.
But on Cheng Yu's side, as long as Li Dali doesn't say that there is anything wrong with Cheng Yu, whether it is the police, the government, or the military, it is impossible to take any measures against Cheng Yu.
If Cheng Yu refuses to return to China for a long time, there may be some problems in this matter, but Cheng Yu came back just a few days after Li Dali's return to China, and he can't do anything with him in any way.
Yes, Cheng Yu is willing to cooperate, of course it is the best, but Cheng Yu doesn't want to cooperate, so he can really only wait for Cheng Yu to be in a better mood.
Lao Bian understands that Cheng Yu's handling of this matter will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the military and the people in charge of this matter on the government side, but what can be done if they are dissatisfied? Cheng Yu is not an ordinary person.
Not to mention that it is just a joint investigation team, even if it is the head of the Wudong Military Region and the leader of Jiangdong Province, he has to give Cheng Guangnian some face.
At least in this situation, no one will force Cheng Yu to cooperate immediately.
Besides, Cheng Yu's request is also reasonable!
People have been abroad for more than half a month, and when they come back, don't they have to meet with their own family first.
And this is also a person with a net worth of billions or tens of billions, and there are so many things in the company, he hasn't dealt with it for more than half a month, doesn't he have to deal with it too.
Today, on Wednesday, Cheng Yu said that he would contact them next Monday, which is already quite face-saving.
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yu was finally able to finish the late lunch peacefully.
As for how Lao Bian coordinates, it's none of his business.
What's more, Lao Bian is a little tougher, and there is no need to coordinate anything, just bring Cheng Yu's original words.
To put it mildly, Lao Bian is also helping them, this is not his job.
