The Phoenix Ridge Tourist Scenic Area, which has just been developed, suddenly ushered in a wave of tourist peaks, fortunately, there are already several farmhouses that have been opened, the peaches in the orchard under the mountain are ripe, the artificial lake has also been built, you can fish, and the staff canteen has also been opened.

In addition to the hotel is still under construction, the resort is also still under construction, and it is impossible to arrange accommodation for tourists, but fortunately, a large number of tourists have climbed the Phoenix Ridge and visited the Fairy Lake Reservoir, Phoenix Nest and other scenic spots, leaving a lot of scenic photos and uploading them to the penguin space.

In the orchard at the bottom of the mountain, the peaches were picked by hand, and the fresh peaches tasted so sweet and refreshing that many tourists feasted their mouths.

The fish in the artificial lake are all wild fish that grow in the water of Fairy Lake.

Many tourists linger, play for a few days in a row, to the night before driving to the city hotel accommodation, the scenic spot is not far from Ruiyang downtown, only less than 20 kilometers, drive more than 40 minutes to arrive, it is not inconvenient.

The influx of tourists has caused the occupancy rate of several large hotels in the city to soar, and some good hotels have even been difficult to find.

Tourists who enter the scenic spot during the peak period will soon break through the 1,000-person mark, and the staff canteen, farmhouse, is overcrowded everywhere, and the scenic spot consultant Xiong Maohong, that is, Chen Weidong's sister-in-law, mobilizes the villagers to receive tourists and arrange tourists to eat at farmers' homes.

In this way, not only the tourists have food, but the villagers also have an extra income, authentic farm food, authentic local chicken and duck, wild mushrooms and wild vegetables from the mountains, and home-grown organic vegetables. They have become a favorite among tourists, not only because the portions are very large, but also at a fair price.

The scenic spot that has just been developed has unexpectedly become popular, which is completely unexpected by Chen Weidong, but it is expected.

After all, it was on CCTV, although there was no intention to advertise, but it was just a brief introduction of more than ten seconds, and the publicity effect achieved by a few promotional video shots in a flash was already self-evident.

The happiest people are the villagers of Chenjia Village, who never imagined that there would be so many tourists in their village.

Some of the hotel owners in the city are also very happy, and with the influx of tourists, their business is also significantly better.

The government departments of Ruiyang City are also keenly aware of the huge potential of the tourism industry in Phoenix Ridge, and sent people to Phoenix Ridge to guide and coordinate the work to speed up the development and construction of the scenic spot, and at the same time, the government tourism department has also increased the publicity work of the Phoenix Ridge Tourist Scenic Area to attract more tourists to come for sightseeing.

Since Shenzhen Shengshi Investment Company donated 200 million yuan at the CCTV disaster relief party, some Internet technology start-up companies began to take the initiative to find Shengshi Investment Company, hoping to get venture capital.

However, Shengshi Investment Company, which had taken the initiative to contact him before, had not contacted him for a long time at this time.

Liu Qiangdong found several investment companies, but at this time, the financial crisis caused by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States has spread to the world, and all venture capital companies are holding a wait-and-see attitude, holding a cautious attitude towards all investments, and have almost stopped the pace of investment.

Liu Qiangdong was helpless, so he had to come to the door in person and walked into Shengshi Investment Company.

Jingdong Company experienced the first financing, with the investment of 10 million US dollars from Jinri Capital, the speed of development is very fast, the money is like flowing water, and the 10 million US dollars are quickly collected.

Liu Qiangdong had long wanted to continue financing, and Shengshi Investment came to visit, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was valued at 200 million US dollars, which was obviously too high, and Xia Yu could not agree to him

You must know that when Jinri Capital invested in Jingdong, the valuation was only more than 20 million US dollars, and Jinri Capital won 40% of the equity with an investment of 10 million US dollars.

Even if Xia Yu agreed, it was impossible for Chen Weidong to agree, and Chen Weidong was not a fool, and it was impossible for the valuation to exceed five thousand dollars at most.

In Chen Weidong's memory before his rebirth, because of the impact of the global financial crisis, the valuation of Jingdong Company also fell all the way, from a valuation of 200 million US dollars, to 180 million US dollars, 150 million US dollars, 120 million US dollars, and 65 million US dollars, and only then did a well-known investment fund become interested in him.

But that's just some interest, and finally after some negotiation and bargaining. The valuation was cut to $4,500 before agreeing to invest in Jingdong.

But Qi Xin called Liu Qiangdong and said, although the price is not good, but you are starting a business for the first time, success is very important, so it is better to accept it.

And the result! At that time, Lehman Brothers in the United States declared bankruptcy and the world was in chaos, and the fund directly cut its valuation to $30 million.

At that time, Qi Xin was angry and felt that 30 million US dollars was simply disrespectful, so Liu Qiangdong directly rejected the fund. I first brought a few sums of money to Jingdong, and then got through the difficulties first.

But refusal is rejection, and financing still has to continue. In November 2008, Jinri Capital held an annual meeting, invited its own LPs to participate, and asked Liu Qiangdong to give a speech on stage to introduce his company.

At that time, Liu Qiangdong attracted the attention of Liang Botao, a well-known Asian investor and founder of Heung Kong Peregrine, so Qi Xin immediately introduced Liu Qiangdong and specially arranged for the two to sit together at the dinner.

As a result, Liang Botao recognized Liu Qiangdong's character, enthusiasm and strategic vision very much, and brought his friends in Xiongniu Capital to do due diligence and invest together.

In the end, Qixin Jinri Capital contributed another $8 million, and together with several other investors such as Xiongniu Capital, raised $20 million and invested it in Jingdong, which was in difficulty at that time. In the end, this transaction also became the highest return investment of these funds. And Qi Xin and his Jinri Capital are absolutely indispensable.

Therefore, Chen Weidong's explanation to Xia Yu is that the valuation of Jingdong does not exceed 50 million US dollars, and on this basis, he can invest as much as possible and occupy more shares.

Anyway, under the circumstances of the global financial crisis, there are not many investment companies that can come up with money to invest in Jingdong.

Even Jinri Capital, united several investment companies? The final investment in Jingdong was valued at $45 million.

In fact, if the well-known fund company hadn't cut the price too hard in the end, cutting it to a valuation of $30 million, and investing at a valuation of $45 million, it would have been no problem at all.

After all, even Qi Xin is persuading Liu Qiangdong to agree, although Qi Xin is not a person from Jingdong Company, but Qi Xin's identity is no less than Cai Congqing of Ahri Company for Jingdong Company, and Liu Qiangdong will accept many of his suggestions.

"Why is Mr. Liu free, come to our company for a while?" After Xia Yu saw Liu Qiangdong, he said with a happy smile.

"Mr. Xia! I really didn't expect that the strength of your Shengshi Investment Company would be so strong! The donation of 200 million yuan in this earthquake disaster is really impressive to the people of the whole country! Liu Qiangdong said politely with a smile.

"When one side is in trouble, all sides support, mainly the boss of our company, who is a kind and charitable person." Xia Yu said while making tea.

"That's it! I don't know when Mr. Xia will introduce me to the boss of your company, I admire the boss of your company very much, and I really want to get to know him. Liu Qiangdong said.

"This opportunity will definitely be there in the future, when we have a cooperative relationship, our boss will definitely be happy to meet you and make friends with Mr. Liu." Xia Yu said while smiling and stretching out his hand to invite Liu Qiangdong to drink tea.
