054 We are innocent
Dream Taro Time Restaurant,
Zhou Yan and Zhou Wan came to the appointment on time.
Liu Yifei changed her dress at this time, wearing a black peaked cap, a beige windbreaker, and even her hair was tied into a ponytail.
Liu Xiaoli also changed her outfit, wearing a bright red dress, her curly hair stretched out, and she was dressed as a delicate rich lady at this time.
"Sorry to be late." Zhou Yan said.
"It's not too late, it's not too late, Xiao Zhou, you and Xiao Wan sit here." Liu Xiaoli smiled and motioned for Zhou Yan to sit on the other side.
Zhou Yan was also polite and sat down with Zhou Wan.
"The house is settled." Liu Xiaoli asked.
Zhou Yan: "That's it." ”
"That..."
"I know what Mrs. Liu and Miss Liu mean is that they plan to rent this house." Zhou Yan said directly.
Liu Xiaoli didn't expect Zhou Yan to get straight to the point, and nodded: "What do you think, Xiao Zhou?" ”
"This suite is mainly bought for Xiaowan to live in, which is a gift to her, so I don't want other people to live in it." Zhou Yan said apologetically.
Liu Xiaoli was a little disappointed, you must know that she and her daughter have been waiting for Zhou Yan for so long, not just to rent this suite, but she still waved her hand: "It's okay." ”
She was already planning to take her daughter away after eating, and there was no point in wasting any more time.
"What company is Miss Liu currently signed under?" Zhou Yan looked at Liu Yifei and asked.
"William Morris Agency." Miss Liu was also a little cold at this time, after all, she couldn't rent the house she wanted.
Zhou Yan knew that this was a talent scouting company in Hollywood, and many domestic stars also signed in it.
"Do you have the idea of starting your own company?" Zhou Yan asked.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Zhou, we don't mean this for the time being." Liu Xiaoli said directly.
"If you need investment in a movie or TV series, you can contact me." Zhou Yan handed over a business card.
"Thank you." Miss Liu took the business card.
Liu Xiaoli was actually quite curious about Zhou Yan's identity, "Xiao Zhou, what do you do at home?" ”
"Real estate, the Internet, and games are all involved." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
Liu Xiaoli nodded, didn't say anything more, people handed over business cards clearly to catch up with her daughter's line, to make an investment, there should be some background at home, business cards can be collected, and you can politely ask if you want to invest in movies in the future.
But that's all, she doesn't think she can have any connection with Zhou Yan.
The rich second-generation son brother has seen a lot.
The meal was a bit deserted.
"Miss Liu, goodbye." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"Goodbye."
Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli left.
Zhou Wan whispered, "We don't seem to have asked her for an autograph yet?" ”
"It's just a sign for a play, it was just polite and polite before, and if you don't rent a house, people will also put up the shelves, and then you want to sign it to make us inferior." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"Xiaowan, you won't be a fan of that Miss Liu, right?" Zhou Yan asked.
"I really like her drama." Zhou Wan said.
"There will be a chance in the future, let's go back to our house and have a look." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"Home?"
"Tomson, you can move in today, and there is a highly educated housekeeper." Zhou Yan said.
"It's not home, and the two of us have nothing to do with each other." Zhou Wan glanced at Zhou Yan.
"It's okay, it's fun to bully, isn't it?" Zhou Yan smiled and squeezed Zhou Wan's hand and said with a smile.
"Poor mouth." Zhou Wan's face was slightly red, and she seemed to be not very comfortable with Zhou Yan playing hooligan to herself.
"Even if it's not boyfriend and girlfriend, Xiaowan and we still have a layer of identity, forgot?"
"What identity?"
"Sister." Zhou Yan shouted with a smile.
"It doesn't count."
"Whoever recognizes it counts."
“,... Go home? ”
"Hmm."
....
"Sir, I'm your housing housekeeper, Tan Xiaoxiao."
Downstairs, a girl wearing gold-rimmed glasses and black uniforms said a little respectfully.
"Let's go up." Zhou Yan said.
"Okay."
didn't let Zhou Yan and Zhou Wan do it themselves, Tan Xiaoxiao had already opened the elevator.
After arriving at the room, Tan Xiaoxiao didn't bother Zhou Yan and Zhou Wan anymore, "Sir, you can call me at any time if you need anything." ”
"Okay."
Tan Xiaoxiao left, and only Zhou Yan and Zhou Wan were left in the room.
"Xiaowan, this will be yours in the future." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"I can't afford to live." Zhou Wan glanced at Zhou Yan.
"Let's live together." Zhou Yan directly hugged Zhou Wan and sniffed the fragrant fragrance on her body.
Zhou Wan is still a little uncomfortable with the intimacy with Zhou Yan, and last night it was because she drank too much wine, but she did everything, and she couldn't act as if nothing happened.
As a result, the big boy in front of him was good, and he bought a house worth 100 million as a gift to her.
It's still like a dream.
But at the same time, Zhou Wan had a faint sense of happiness that lingered in her heart for a long time.
She likes Zhou Yan, maybe she likes her when she talks about the future with him in a small shop on the commercial street, and the big boy in front of her also likes her.
Although there is no way to pursue any reputation, Zhou Wan feels that it is good to be like this now.
She is not a woman who can do nothing else for the sake of affection, and Zhou Yan is impulsive and likes, but it is far from love.
Especially now that she is being held by Zhou Yan, she only has a fast heartbeat and a faint desire, and there is no extra emotion because of love.
Maybe it's really as Zhou Yan said, each other is taking what they need.
"Xiaowan, it's a little hot." Zhou Yan said beside him.
Zhou Wan didn't know what Zhou Yan wanted to do, she hurriedly let go of Zhou Yan and pursed her lips, "Don't mess around." ”
"What's wrong with the mess? Has anyone stopped me? Zhou Yan asked with a smile.
Zhou Wan was a little flustered, "No." ”
I've been presumptuous once last night, and it still hurts.
As a result, the hungry wolf still wanted to toss her.
Who knew that in the next second, Zhou Wan felt that she was being hugged horizontally.
"Zhou Yan, what are you doing?" Zhou Wan was a little flustered.
"Bathe my sister."
In the room, an older boy who couldn't wait for a long time shouted, hugged the girl in his arms, and kicked open the bathroom door.
...
The clouds are gone.
In the bathtub,
Zhou Wan fell softly into Zhou Yan's arms, her face flushed, her small mouth opened slightly, and she breathed softly.
"How are you going to explain it to Shishi in the future?" Zhou Wan asked.
"Why explain, we are innocent, is there any need to explain?" Zhou Yan asked rather innocently.
"Are you innocent?" Zhou Wan slapped Zhou Yan angrily.
I don't think so.
"You're my sister, I'm your brother, it's very pure, okay." Zhou Yan joked with a smile.
Zhou Wan didn't want to talk to Zhou Yan anymore, she puffed out her cheeks, although she was a college sister, but now she also showed the angry side of a girl, for Zhou Yan, a person who was angry and didn't pay for her life, she didn't need to give a good face.
It's just that in the next second, Zhou Wan's face became extremely red.
"Don't mess around."
...
Tossed for most of the day,
Zhou Yan and Zhou Wan packed up and went out together.
"Zhou Yan, should we really go to that Dianping company?" In the car, Zhou Wan asked.
The mansion delivered a BMW's latest car for transportation, Zhou Yan drove the car and replied with a smile: "Well, I have already made an appointment with Senior Brother Zhang." ”
Zhou Wan nodded: "People may not necessarily be acquired, I have checked the information, and they have received two rounds of financing from Sequoia Capital a few years ago." ”
"It doesn't have to be an acquisition, it can also be a shareholding."
Zhou Yan knew that after the financial crisis in 08 and 09, some capital in the United States had shrunk the scale of investment in domestic Internet companies, such as Dianping, which was basically ignored, and even on the verge of bankruptcy.
Dianping has gone through two rounds of overseas venture capital, in April 11, and will get a joint investment of 100 million US dollars under the leadership of Sequoia, it was also at that time that Dianping officially went to the battlefield of group buying, and Meituan, a big force, to compete head-on, first invest in overseas capital, then invest in Ali, and then invest in Penguin, Dianping's development road can be said to be twists and turns, and it can even be called the past that Xiao Lu Bu in the group buying industry also said.
And now, Dianping belongs to a small transparent existence that is ignored by everyone, and even if Zhou Yan hadn't thought of Meituan, he would have almost ignored this small product with unlimited future development prospects.
Penguin is invested in 14 years of public comments, and he has been in the layout for 10 years, how can he invest a little less money and occupy a little more shares than penguins.
Downstairs of Dianping,
When Zhou Yan drove over, Zhang Tao was already waiting.
This man who is about to enter middle age is somewhat enthusiastic at this time.
He didn't expect that his company in a corner of the country could also be noticed, and the other party also offered a high-priced investment.
"Hello, I'm Zhou Yan, President of Chase Wave Capital, and this is Zhou Wan, Vice President of Chase Wave." Zhou Yan introduced himself directly
When I go out, I give my identity by myself, and I give Xiaowan the identity of a vice president, and I also say it on the card.
"Hello, Zhang Tao, chairman of Dianping." Zhang Tao and Zhou Yan shook hands.
"Before, it was Zhang Long, the vice president of Zhulang, who connected with Mr. Zhang, and you two are still your own family." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
At present, the comprehensive volume of Zhulang Technology has far exceeded that of Dianping, and even its fast-use products have a larger scale of development than Dianping, and the application is also wider.
This is also the confidence of Zhou Yan and Zhang Tao to speak after the waist board is tough.
"I've always wanted to meet the president who chases the waves, but when I see him today, Mr. Zhou is really young and promising." Zhang Tao said with a smile in his not-so-standard Mandarin.
"Mr. Zhang has won the award, and he has developed the review network to such a scale by himself, and he has been ahead of most people." Zhou Yan smiled and complimented.
In fact, it is also Zhou Yan's sincere words, without the addition of reviews, there would be no later Meituan, it can be said that reviews are the soul of Meituan, but the words are really complimented in Zhang Tao's ears.
He is still clear about how many catties and taels of reviews are now, but they are limited to seven or eight cities, unable to promote them to the outside world, and the financing that has been agreed with has not come for a long time, making it difficult for him to see the way out of reviews.
He was even a little confused about whether this painstaking work would really collapse and let those opportunistic group buying websites catch up.
Sequoia invested 12 million in Meituan in March this year, and he called it a red-eyed, you must know that Sequoia only invested 1 million in it, and it was especially invested in 06, and then sent several letters, and no one was a bird.
Comparisons are odious.
If it weren't for Google's five million financing, which hadn't been used up, Zhang Tao really wanted to go bankrupt on the spot, and the special mother would quit.
Mr. Zhou laughed. Zhang Tao smiled helplessly, "The two presidents of Zhou, please." ”
Zhou Wan rarely experienced the treatment of the vice president of Zhulang Gong Technology, which is indeed more face-saving than Zhulang Studio, she also has vanity, and even thinks that it is not bad to be a vice president in the future.
It's just that Shishi may be the vice president of Chalang in the future.
Dianping is on the fifth floor of the office building, and after Zhou Yan went upstairs, he found that the company environment of Dianping was indeed not good, a little crowded, and even the kitchen was located in the company.
It's not so much a company as a group of people living next to each other with broken computers.
It's like when he was working on a project with a group of teams.
It's a company with unlimited potential, but it's mixed up like this.
It can only be said that 10 years is the golden year of countless Internet companies, and it is also the cooling-off period for many old companies.
It wasn't until 11 years ago that foreign capital repaid attention to these potential companies, but at that time, what needed to be faced was to compete with big bAt manufacturers such as Penguin and Alibaba.
On the ground in the country, a dragon has to nest when it comes.
The so-called money-burning war, which seems to be a competition between capitals for market share, is actually a carnival for the whole people.
At that time, one dollar could hit two kilometers
At that time, it was possible to eat takeout and buy goods without spending money.
At that time, if you spent money to share a bicycle, others would call you stupid, because there were so many bicycles, and the next app could get a lot of free times.
It is not only the time when the market is the most chaotic, but also the time when the wool is flying all over the sky.
After the spell was born, it can be called a dimensionality reduction blow, although the means can not be put on the table, but the public's heart is very dead, and successfully seized the sinking market that originally belonged to Taobao.
It is precisely because of the take-off of Pinxi that the penguins, who have always wanted to get a share of the pie in the e-commerce sector, got their wish.
Behind this is not only the promotion of penguins, but also the help of WeChat, a social product that defends the sky, which is why Zhou Yan values WeChat.
There are really too many ecosystems behind it.
The system is too big and intricate.
Only ByteDance can compete with Penguin and Ali in the future, and firmly control the most profitable live broadcast industry.
The founder of ByteDance is also surnamed Zhang.
It seems that those who are engaged in technology like to have the surname Zhang, and those who make a lot of money seem to have the surname Ma.
Zhou Yan remembered that Zhang Yiming should still be engaged in the business of train tickets and real estate at this time, and did not establish ByteDance.
In this case, he can only take the lead.
Whether it is Toutiao or Douyin, the monetization effect is very huge, and it is also the development direction after Chase Wave Technology.
At present, big data is applied at the level of quick app, which is somewhat overkill, and when the official account completes the incubation of short videos and completes the real start of self-media on the mobile terminal, you can start to develop short videos, just wait for the future 4G to be launched, and make a lot of money.
It would be better if there was a matching mobile phone, Zhou Yan felt that the mobile phone could follow Huawei's path, but he still had another idea.
The reason why the mobile phone industry is difficult step by step in the future is nothing more than the technical barriers to manufacturing chips and chip research and development.
It's just one thing, but the first thing to consider when you really do it is the issue of capital investment.
At this point, Huawei has done a really good job, and it can start to lay out mobile phones 20 years in advance, even if there is a suspicion of marketing later, but it is such a vision, and it deserves to be in front of other domestic mobile phones.
Self-developed and self-produced is easy to say, but no company has such a determination to do it.
Neither of the two will be 'far ahead' if they lack one or the other.
Zhou Yan and Zhou Wan visited the company under the leadership of Zhang Tao, and then were invited into the reception room.
The reception room is also piled with some materials and equipment, and it seems that no one will come to visit.
"I'm afraid that Brother Zhou, you will laugh at it, the company has developed to the present, it is almost beyond its means, and if it does not attract investment, it really wants to choose bankruptcy, and the sequoia and Google abroad are not trustworthy, and they will disappear after a wave of investment."
After speaking, Zhang Tao also sighed heavily, and said helplessly: "Brother Zhou, I know your intention, you want to buy the company, Mr. Zhang has already said hello to me in advance, since this is the case, I will also make a price, if you look suitable, take the company over, Sequoia currently accounts for 5% of the shares, Google accounts for a little more, accounting for 10%, and the other shares are held by me and a brother, and he is also in favor of me selling directly." ”
Zhou Yan nodded, the equity structure is quite healthy, foreign capital doesn't matter, when the time comes, CMC can talk about it, and if it can take back the shares, it doesn't matter if it can't be recovered, when the company's core data is packaged and a spin-off, the company will be completely rotten, and he believes that foreigners will make the right choice.
"Mr. Zhang, we don't bend around, you can make a price, if it's suitable, we won't grind." Zhou Yan said directly to Zhang Tao.
"Thirty million." Zhang Tao said a number: "Thirty million is really a conscience price, Mr. Zhou, you acquired the company, and the content data of the surrounding cities are packaged and sent to you with products." ”
"10 million, this is the limit of what I can bid, 30 million is too much, there are 30 million Our company can make a better product than Dianping, and through our platform to quickly achieve push, Mr. Zhang should not doubt the strength of our company." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
Zhang Tao was a little hesitant, he hadn't looked for a penguin, the penguin offered 50% of the shares of 50%, and he wanted it even more ruthlessly than Zhou Yan.
"Two thousand, is that okay? Yes, I can sell it immediately. Zhang Tao said.
"Mr. Zhang, this is not a vegetable market to buy vegetables, we have our own valuation for Dianping, if it weren't for the high-quality content of this product, we would have developed a better website by ourselves, to be honest, in addition to these contents, Mr. Zhang thinks there is anything else we like?" Zhou Wan asked with a smile at this time.
Zhang Tao gritted his teeth: "One thousand fourteen, it's always okay." ”
"10 million is really the highest price we originally set, so let's keep 2% of Mr. Zhang's personal shares, if it is still unacceptable, then forget it." Zhou Yan shook his head and said.
Zhang Tao was silent for a while, and said to Zhou Yan: "Is 2% too little?" ”
"Dianping.com will develop better in the hands of Chalang, Mr. Zhang has this 2% stake, and the future value is more than four million, I think Mr. Zhang should be able to think clearly." Zhou Yan said with a smile, if it weren't for feeling that it was too cheap and a little sorry for this little brother, Zhou Yan wouldn't even want to give 2%.
Zhang Tao knows that what Zhou Yan said is right, the company has been in a state of negative profit, losing money every year, even if he has so many shares now, he will still lose money, if Dianping really comes back to life in the hands of Chalang, and even successfully goes public, even if he only has 2% of the shares, he can make a lot of money.
And if you reject the acquisition of this wave, in case the corresponding product is developed by the wave, the review will also depreciate rapidly, and whether it can be sold for 10 million at that time is a question.
Zhang Tao had a plan in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "Ten million is ten million." ”
This time, it really became a bargain in the vegetable market.
"It's a pleasure to work with." Zhou Yan got up.
Zhang Tao shook hands with Zhou Yan and smiled helplessly: "Mr. Zhou, you are really not polite at all." ”
"I know that Mr. Zhang has always looked down on Meituan, and after the acquisition of Dianping, he will compete with Meituan head-on, and Mr. Zhang should see a good result by then." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
Zhang Tao laughed: "Then wait for your good news." ”
"Let's sign the contract."
"Okay."
...
out of the company of Dianping,
Zhou Wan couldn't help but ask: "Zhou Yan, is Dianping really worth 10 million?" ”
"More than that, we're making a lot of money." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"Although the volume of Dianping is not large, although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs, and after it is incorporated into the home app, we can create a review ecology as quickly as possible, and cooperate with the official account and WeChat e-commerce to realize the traffic."
Zhou Wan nodded: "You can't eat this product just by the home app." ”
"Let's make a transition first, and then come out independently to do group buying."
"Hmm."
Zhou Yan and Zhou Wan were equivalent to a business trip and returned to Hongda the next day.
The transfer of shares has been completed, and now Dianping has also been merged into the subsidiary of Chase Wave Capital.
Although it is not a wholly owned shareholder, holding 80% of the shares is enough to determine the future development of this company.
In fact, it is equivalent to picking up leaks.
In 2010, when it was not up or down, the group buying website was dancing wildly, and no one cared about Dianping, so there was a chance to chase the waves.
If Brother Pony plans to buy Dianping in the future, and finds that Dianping was collected by Chalang at a price of 10 million, I don't know what kind of expression it will be.
After arranging a series of receiving and handover work with Zhou Wan on the Dianping website.
Zhou Yan and Zhou Wan also came to the studio's newly opened department, the new media department.
Xu Qiufan and Tan Xin are all there, Xu Qiufan has become the nominal signing 'agent' of the department, Tan Xin is responsible for assisting, and in the department, there have been several representatives of the art department trade union team.
are all tall and outstanding-looking girls, although they are not too good-looking, but this group of warblers and Yanyan is already comparable to the later second- and third-rate girl groups.
Zhou Wan is now nominally both the president of the studio and the head of the new media department, while Zhou Yan has no identity.
"Minister, Senior Brother Zhou Yan." Xu Qiufan greeted both Zhou Wan and Zhou Yan with a smile.
Tan Xin originally wanted to be the first, but she didn't expect Xu Qiufan to be so floating, and she dared to call Zhou Yan's junior brother.
"President, boss." Tan Xin shouted the name of the interior of the studio.
I always feel that Xu Qiufan, this little, is there a wait.
She also wanted to call Senior Brother Zhou Yan to come, but she didn't dare.
