The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall for four people gradually became harmonious.

A bottle of 92-year-old Moutai, although the price is as high as hundreds of thousands, the amount is still only so much.

Gu Cheng didn't like to drink, he just tasted a glass.

For people who don't like wine, this thing belongs to Zhu Bajie tasting ginseng fruit, which is purely wasteful, anyway, Gu Cheng is no different from drinking wine for one hundred and eighty yuan.

Maybe it was because of the alcohol, Zhao Tai put down the wine glass, did not shy away from Yuan Zhen and Qin Chen, stared at Gu Cheng's face and said slowly: "Gu Cheng, have you heard about the financing progress of Byte Leap recently?" ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Gu Cheng also put down the fast son and looked at Zhao Tai.

Qin Xi and Yuan Zhen also stopped joking, and the entire desktop fell silent.

"I received news a few days ago that the financing originally arranged by Byte Leap in September collapsed with SoftBank and IDG, and the industry expects that the D round of financing may be delayed until after the year."

Hearing Zhao Tai's words, Gu Cheng was not surprised.

Because in his memory, Byte Leap's Series D financing was completed on the last day of 2016, and it can only be said that his rebirth did not cause any butterfly effect.

Finding that Gu Cheng's expression had not changed, Zhao Tai continued: "Didn't you want to participate in Byte Leap's financing before? Now is the opportunity.

Byte's financing extension just proves that the valuation of the major capitals for it is a little inflated, and it may be that if the financing is reopened in the future, the valuation should drop a lot, and even our Yunfeng Fund has held a meeting to discuss whether to take the opportunity to enter. ”

Before Gu Cheng could speak, Qin Xi interjected, "Gu Cheng, are you going to mix with bytes?" ”

The expression was not shocked, but it was full of surprise.

As the CEO of Fenrong Capital, to be precise, Qin Chen is also a person in the investment circle, and Byte Leap's Series D financing can be said to be a major opinion in the investment circle in the second half of this year, after all, what is the valuation of Byte Leap announced to the outside world?

A full 13 billion!

It's still dollars!

Converted into soft sister coins, that is 80 billion!

Although this valuation is nothing for Penguin, Ahri, and giants with a market value of trillions, it should be clear that Byte is only an Internet company that has been established for 4 years, and the valuation of Byte Leap in 2012 was only less than 30 million, and four years later, it has surged 3000 times.

If it weren't for the unclear direction of profitability, plus there was a fast head that was comparable in terms of competition, it would not be an exaggeration to be called a unicorn.

Facing Qin Chen's surprise, Gu Cheng also smiled back: "It's not about mixing, it's just that there is this idea."

Why, Brother Qin's Fenrong Capital also wants to get involved? ”

Hearing this, Qin Yan hurriedly shook his head: "Don't make trouble, Byte's current financing starts at 1 billion, and my Fenrong Capital's assets now add up to only a few hundred million, why should you intervene?" ”

Although there is a saying on the Internet, "Diligence does not necessarily mean that there is money, but Qin Chen must be rich!" And for the vast majority of people, Qin Xi is indeed rich.

But if you have money, you have to have a limit.

With an investment of this level, it is possible for his parents to talk about it...

As for Qin Chen himself?

Forget it.

Zhao Tai listened to Qin Chen's words, and also teased: "It's okay for him to invest in a basketball team and an e-sports club in a small way, and you still think too highly of him for an investment of this level." ”

"What is this called? In China, I am also a leader in these two industries, right? ”

"Leader? What you say is to say it in front of your brothers, don't say it when you go out, it's a shame, the output value of the e-sports industry in the first half of this year is only more than 12 billion, and the entire industry is not worth a high-end real estate in Shanghai. ”

Qin Xi was a little blushing by Zhao Tai, but he didn't get angry.

From this, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is really good.

Although it is a joke, but it is also Zhao Tai's heart, since joining Yunfeng Fund, Zhao Tai's horizons have already been broadened, and he has experienced and learned many large-scale investments of tens of billions at home and abroad, and he really can't look down on small industries like the e-sports industry with an annual output value of only more than 20 billion.

After finishing Qin Qi, Zhao Tai continued to Gu Cheng: "Byte's next financing invitation should be opened within the year, after all, the current byte is seizing the market with Kuaishou, and it is very short of money, it should not be long in coming, and I will contact you after our Yunfeng Capital receives the invitation."

Regardless of whether you invest or not, this is also a grand event of domestic capital, and you won't suffer a loss when you go to see it, how about it? ”

"I'm fine, it's time to meet the world with Brother Zhao."

Gu Cheng did not refuse.

In the past month, Gu Cheng's impulse to invest in bytes has become lower and lower...

Especially after the purchase of the house, the system directly rewarded 160 million.

Even if you don't do anything now, just lie flat, sooner or later you will become a top hero, there is really no need to work hard to make money...

Of course, if you don't do anything, it's not fun to just enjoy it.

Now Gu Cheng is more interested in e-sports clubs and Internet celebrity M institutions.

The former is very simple, as a game enthusiast, Gu Cheng himself has an e-sports dream, and now that he has money, it's not too much to pursue his dream, right?

What about the latter...

Although there is an idea of making money, it is more for the word "Internet celebrity".

As for why "influencers" are more important than money.

That's of course because of Internet celebrity burning.

M institution Gu Cheng has already planned a prototype in his heart, but for the e-sports club, he is really blind.

But if he has the opportunity, he will still invest in bytes, after all, no one will be afraid of too much money, and don't pick up money for nothing.

Suddenly, Gu Cheng looked at Qin Chen, who was shut up by Zhao Tai.

This is also a veteran figure in the Chinese e-sports circle, not only the owner of the King Club, but also the founder of Qin Chen E-sports Academy, in the e-sports circle, compared to Principal Wang, Qin Chen seems to be more qualified to be called the principal.

And Gu Cheng remembered that the King team of the League of Legends was Qin Chen's, and he also got a place in the LPL in 2015, but he was later sold by him.

As soon as he thought of this, Gu Cheng said to Qin Chen: "It's just that now I'm more interested in the e-sports circle than in investing in bytes, Brother Qin, you are also a veteran of the e-sports circle, why don't you introduce me?" ”

Hearing this, Qin Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.

Now he looks at Gu Cheng more and more pleasing to the eye, and he has a feeling of hating to see each other late.

He is a fan of supercars, and so is Gu Cheng.

Now even the investment direction is surprisingly consistent!

"Are you kidding or are you really planning to invest in esports? Since you have asked, then I will give you a thorough understanding, Brother Zhao also said just now, the current e-sports industry is too small, if you want to make money, it is almost impossible, I will honestly explain to you, now 90% of the clubs in the e-sports circle are losing money, as for the remaining 10%, it can only be called break-even.

If you want to make money, then I advise you not to wade into this troubled water.

But if you're playing tickets, I can really introduce you. ”

Gu Cheng also smiled when he heard this: "Money, I really don't lack money, if you think I'm playing tickets, you can understand it like this." ”

Looking at the surging expression on Gu Cheng's face, Qin Yan couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Although Gu Cheng was very suspicious of what he said just now, Qin Xi really didn't doubt the authenticity of Gu Cheng's words.

After all, people who can casually take out 70 million to buy a supercar will be short of money?

It's 2016, not 2018 when capital frantically poured in, and 70 million is now enough to set up an upper-mid-range e-sports club.

"It doesn't cost much to set up a club, but it depends on where you want to focus your club."

"League of Legends section."

Although he opened his mouth and closed his mouth to e-sports, Gu Cheng really only knew about the game of League of Legends.

But if it is placed in China, it is enough to understand this one.

Why?

Because of the so-called domestic e-sports industry and its surroundings, the entire League of Legends occupies 6 percent, or even more than 6 percent.

Although esports projects such as Dota 2, CF and so on are still being carried out, they are still much worse than League of Legends in terms of influence.

Qin Xi also guessed that Gu Cheng would talk about League of Legends, so he also nodded and said: "If it's a club of other games, it's not nice to say, it's a bit related, it can be successfully formed for thousands or even millions."

But if it's League of Legends. It is estimated that the starting point will be 5 times, or even 10 times more normal.

I'll just tell you this, my King team just got an LPL spot, and it was sold for 20 million, and that's just one spot, and the rest is counted. ”

Gu Cheng listened to Qin Chen's introduction and was not too surprised.

The 20 million entry is simply too cheap compared to after 2018.

After IG won the championship in 2018, major capitals poured in, and the minimum number of admission places for an LPL was 100 million, which was still the lowest.

After buying the car, I should still have tens of millions of spare money left in my hands, and I can enter the market to test the water at that time.

Seeing that Gu Cheng was not persuaded to retire by himself, Qin Xi also smiled and said: "Since you really have this idea, we can talk in detail another day, I have been in the e-sports circle for so many years, and I still know some people more or less, and when the time comes, whether you are a component club from the secondary league or directly buy a place in the LPL, I can help a little." ”

"That's all there is to it."

"No problem, let's add a contact information first."

Zhao Tai looked at the two of them calling for contact information, and shook his head helplessly.

In his eyes, investing in e-sports is a pure waste of money, he really doesn't understand whether Gu Cheng burns a lot of money, and he still plunges into it knowing that he is losing.

As for Yuan Zhen...

His role in a normal dinner is equivalent to that of a transparent person, and he can interject a few words when chatting.

Now listening to Gu Cheng and Qin Chen's investment of tens of millions at every turn, in addition to silence or silence.

Tens of millions, not to mention yourself, is a huge amount even for your entire family.

Although he is the rich second generation that everyone envies, the gap between the rich second generation is still huge, and then his demeanor is a little gloomy.

Gu Cheng, who had finished exchanging contact information with Qin Chen, happened to see the silent Yuan Zhen, and he also picked up the little wine left in the wine glass, and touched the cup on Yuan Zhen's table: "What do you want?" Have a drink. ”

Looking at the kindness shown by Gu Cheng, Yuan Zhen also smiled slightly and raised his glass in return.

At the beginning, his friendship with Gu Cheng was indeed because of Zhao Tai's reminder, and there was some meaning of clinging.

But in the past month, Yuan Zhen has also regarded Gu Cheng as a true friend.

The same is true for Gu Cheng.

Yuan Zhen is different from the vast majority of rich second generations whose interests are paramount, he is a straight intestine, friends make friends, and what he is most afraid of is a villain who stabs a knife in the back, and Yuan Zhen is the most unlikely to become this kind of person.

Whether it is Qin Xi or Zhao Tai, they can only be regarded as friends on the scene.

Only Yuan Zhen can be called a "friend" by himself.

............

............

A meal, ate for more than an hour.

Just when everyone was about to leave, Qin Xi invited: "Our SSCC is cooperating with your Sujiang's JSCC is jointly holding an exhibition match, there are many insiders, and a few celebrities have been invited, do you want to go and see it?" ”

Yuan Zhen also smiled when he heard this: "Even if Brother Qin, you don't say that I plan to go over, I am also a member of JSCC, and I have several friends who have already gone, and I have just eaten for a while, and I have received no less than 10 pieces of information." ”

Qin Chen also nodded when he heard this, and then looked at Gu Cheng.

Seriously, although Gu Cheng likes supercars, he is limited to supercars.

I was really not interested in the so-called performance games, and when I was just trying to find a reason to refuse, the mobile phone on the desktop rang with a "ding winter".

Gu Cheng smiled apologetically at Qin Xian first, and then picked up his phone.

Until he saw the message on WeChat, a surging smile appeared on the corner of Gu Cheng's mouth.

The person who sent the message was one of the purposes of Gu Cheng's visit to Shanghai this time...

Fufu Regiment!

In the chat interface, Fufu first sent a COS photo...

In the photo, Fufu Tuan is wearing a pink Cos dress, the dress is very tight, showing her pride to the fullest, and the mountains are as unfathomable as ever, especially the two furry ears and headdresses on her head, which make people's blood rush even through the screen.

Maybe it's because of the private photos, the angle is unusually tempting...

Just one photo made up for Gu Cheng's lost fighting spirit because of last night's continuous fighting.

The fighting spirit is instantly high!

"Brother for too long, my comic con performance time is three o'clock in the afternoon~ Are you here?"

Gu Cheng didn't reply to the news of the Fufu group, but said to Qin Chen: "Brother Qin, it's really not that I don't give face, but I'm going to go to a comic exhibition this afternoon, and as for your SSCC exhibition match, I may not be able to go." ”

"Comic Con? Gu Cheng, don't tell me that you're still a two-thorn ape! ”

A strange expression appeared on Qin Chen's face.

Yuan Zhen knew what Gu Cheng was going to the Comic Con for, and he rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Qin, you guessed wrong, did he go to the Comic Con?"

There is an anchor on the Douyu live broadcast platform called Fufu Tuan, Gu Cheng is a greedy person and does cheap things! ”

Listening to Yuan Zhen's explanation, Qin Xi instantly understood.

No matter how serious the vast majority of the rich second generation is on the surface, they are actually not much worse on the inside.

Qin Chen, like Principal Wang in later generations, also has the title of Internet celebrity harvester, of course he will not be a serious person, and then said with an ambiguous smile: "Understand and understand!" The exhibition match will last for several days, so you can watch it whenever you want, and the Comic Con is even more important! ”

After ridiculing, everyone laughed.

After laughing, Zhao Tai also opened his mouth and said to Gu Cheng: "Don't drive when you drink, it just so happens that my driver came with me today, let him follow you this afternoon." ”

"It's okay, when we came to Shanghai, we rented a Maybach and hired a driver, so we don't have to drive ourselves."

Zhao Tai shook his head and said: "What the flirt pays attention to is a pomp, my car must be a little higher than the Maybach, as for me, I will be with Yuan Zhen." ”

"It seems that Brother Zhao used to be a romantic person."

Gu Cheng also teased kindly.

Zhao Tai waved his hand: "When I was in my 20s like you, I played more than you, and then I didn't bother to do this when I started to be biased about my career."

If you don't play when you're young, when will you play? ”

Gu Cheng also smiled slightly and did not continue to respond.

Again, in this materialistic society, the essence of the vast majority of people is like this.

There are very few that can really achieve different streams and pollution.

Especially after having wealth, few people can resist the temptation of society, Gu Cheng has never had the heart to resist the temptation, and even took the initiative to contact it.

He just wants to live as he pleases.

That's all.
