Chapter 305: Understanding
The test time of subject three is often delayed in the waiting time, Yi Yang was lucky today, basically there was no queue, he got on the bus directly, the real test did not take long, after the test of subject three, you can directly take the test of subject four, these are very simple for Yi Yang, when he got his driver's license, he didn't even have lunch yet.
At this time, they were located in the sixth driving test base of Hanning City, which was a rural-urban junction near an industrial park, and it was desolate outside.
Yi Yang smiled and said, "Let's go back to the city and eat again, I'm in for a treat today!" Do you have anything you want to eat?"
Wang Sangning came over and said excitedly, "I want to eat fried dumplings!"
"Sister Jiang, what about you?"
Jiang Lili came back to his senses, "Then fry dumplings, is there a place to eat fried dumplings?"
"How about finding a tea shop?" Yi Yang thought about it, took out his mobile phone, flipped through it, in this era, it is not so convenient to query a delicious restaurant, although there are already Meituan, Dianping, these apps that can query food shops, but the current app has just been launched, the function is simple, smart phones have not been fully popularized, and even some places have not even covered the 4G network, and merchants are not used to online publicity, so it is not easy to find a good tea restaurant on the mobile phone.
Meituan's rise is indeed stepping on the cusp of the times......
After checking on his phone, Yi Yang turned off the screen of his phone a little helplessly.
Living in the present, and knowing that in the next few years, the society will undergo earth-shaking changes, he can't help but feel a little emotional.
At this time, Meituan was still very young and had little popularity.
With some interest, Yi Yang opened his mobile phone again and searched for news on the search engine, but could only find some financial news briefs.
Meituan was founded in 2010, just last year, after completing Series B funding from Alibaba and Sequoia Capital...... There is also some news about Wang Xing, which is probably these messy news.
Well...... At present, I don't know much about some knowledge of finance and economics, what is financing, angel rounds, ABC rounds, etc., but he probably also knows that the time to invest in Meituan must have passed at this time.
Jiang Lili noticed that Yi Yang was wandering and asked, "What's wrong?"
When Yi Yang saw Jiang Lili, he suddenly thought about it and asked, "Sister Jiang, do you know anything about business?"
"Hmm...... What do you want to know about business?"
"It's nothing, it's just that when I was looking for a tea restaurant on the Internet just now, I saw some terms, such as angel round, A round, B round financing, etc., I was very curious, so I wanted to know about it."
Jiang Lili smiled: "This...... Although I'm not very good at it, I've often heard my mother talk about these words, and the words you just said are very simple, let me tell you about them."
"You should understand financing, right? To put it simply, you want to do a business, or you want to work on a project, you have an idea or a management team, or technology, but you don't have the money, then you look for money, it's financing."
"Uh-huh......
"In this process, your project or company will go through many stages."
"For example, if you have an idea to invent a new type of appliance, and you have the idea, but you don't have the product, and you need a sum of money to design the product, it shouldn't cost much...... Well, if it's just 200,000 yuan, what should I do, you go to your seven aunts and eight aunts, or classmates or something, and then one of your sisters tells you that I have 200,000 yuan, and I will invest in you."
"Your sister should be regarded as an investment in your dream, this investment is almost an angel round, the investment amount of the angel round is not very large, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, the investor may be a professional angel investor, or it may be your seven aunts and eight aunts."
"With this 200,000 yuan, you went to do it with great interest, and you really made it up
A new type of appliance, but then you're worried about it again."
"Because you have built this new type of electrical appliance, you can't sell it for money, because you can't mass produce it, you don't have a factory, you don't have large-scale mass production equipment, and you don't have employees, in short, you don't have anything, but you know that your product will definitely make a lot of money, and at this time, your seven aunts and eight aunts can't help it, and the hundreds of thousands of angel investors are just a drop in the bucket......
"At this time, you choose to find a bank loan, or find a VC or PE."
「VC? PE?」
"It's a company that specializes in investment."
"Oh......"
"Through various channels, you inquired about some investment companies, and then people were also very interested in your project, you showed your products, made a beautiful proposal, and painted a beautiful picture for those investors, and they were also enthusiastic, excited, and said, I have invested in your project!"
"You got a fund of 10 million, and the other party's request is to get 40% of the equity of your company, you have no experience, you think it's no problem, you agreed, and when the funds are in place, you stay up all night, your mind is full of what the future will look like, this 10 million is your A round investment."
"Next, you use the 10 million to build a factory, set up a management team, work hard for half a year, start the official operation, and finally on a memorable day, your products have received many orders, you have made a lot of money, the momentum of the company's development is very good, on the basis of the original, you have recruited a lot of colleges and universities, developed more products, but you find that if you want to expand, it is too slow to rely on the funds to sell products......
"And at this time, some large companies have taken a fancy to your project, this time people took the initiative to talk to you, and after some negotiations, you got another 50 million investment, and this time you were diluted 15% of the shares, but you don't care, because your company is now valued at hundreds of millions."
"This 50 million is a Series B investment."
After a pause, Jiang Lili said: "There may be several rounds of investment in Series C and Series D in the future, as long as your company has been developing and you are ready to continue expanding, it is possible that you will always receive financing...... That's probably it, I'm not necessarily right, but that's what it means."
Jiang Lili smiled: "Now you know what angel round, A round, and B round investment are, right?"
Yi Yang nodded, and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Lili in his heart...... Of course, after thinking about it, although Jiang Lili has never taken the initiative to talk to them about these things, she is a rich girl in the real sense of the word after all, and it is normal to understand these things, but she has preconceived ideas and has too fixed impressions of her.
Suddenly with some emotion, he glanced at Jiang Lili with complicated eyes.
Jiang Lili asked strangely, "Why do you look at me like this?"
Yi Yang smiled: "It's just that I suddenly feel that I don't know Sister Jiang very well."
Jiang Lili was slightly stunned and didn't say anything.
At this time, Wang Sangning in the back row suddenly said, "Let's go to that dumpling restaurant on the waterfront!" There are fried dumplings, steamed dumplings and boiled dumplings."
When driving to the front section of the main road, Jiang Lili turned his face sideways and glanced at the rearview mirror, turned on the turn signal, and slowly pulled over to stop the car.
Wang Sangning and Yi Yang both looked at Jiang Lili with some confusion.
Jiang Lili neatly unbuckled the buckle of the seat belt, smiled slightly, and said to Yi Yang, "You have all got your driver's license, now you can drive."
Yi Yang was stunned: "Uh......"
"What expression, you don't want to?"
Yi Yang immediately said seriously, "Yes, I feel very happy to be able to serve my sister!"
Jiang Lili slapped Yi Yang and scolded with a smile: "What is it to serve me, let you touch the car."
Wang Sangning looked at the two people in the front row and blinked slightly.
Yi Yang and Jiang Lili quickly exchanged places, Yi Yang adjusted the seat and reversing mirror, fastened the seat belt, and said, "Then, let's go!"
The car started steadily and neatly.
……
After Meimei's meal, the three of them did not leave immediately in a hurry, but sat in the restaurant to rest.
"Hmm...... Today is Saturday......" Yi Yang turned on his phone and pondered slightly.
Jiang Lili picked up a cup of tea, took a sip gently, put down the quilt, took out the makeup box he was carrying, looked in the mirror, took out the lipstick, and prepared to make up for the lip gloss.
Jiang Lili's makeup is not heavy, she lives regularly every day, and maintains a certain intensity of exercise every week, which makes her skin very smooth and delicate, but she likes lipstick, and likes to use different shades to match different moods, but just applying lipstick is a little abrupt, so she embellishes her with a little light makeup.
At this time, she pursed her lips, delicate, after applying, she was very satisfied, closed the makeup case, and then picked up the cola with the straw in her hand, gently swallowed it, and sipped it.
At this time, it was just past noon, it was time to take a nap, Wang Sangning finished eating, became a little sleepy, yawned twice, and asked, "When will we go back?"
Jiang Lili said, "Isn't it Saturday today, why are you going back so early?"
Wang Sangning said with some excitement: "I want to go back and sleep, and then try the learning method that Yi Yang taught right away."
Jiang Lili looked at Yi Yang.
Yi Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't want to go back now, why don't you go back first?"
Jiang Lili asked, "Do you have something?"
"Hmm...... It's a little bit of a thing."
"Can you take us with you?"
"There's nothing inconvenient about this, it's just Sang Lemon ......
Jiang Lili said, "It's not bad to study for a day or two, what are you going to be busy with, let's go with you."
Seeing this, Wang Sangning also smiled and said, "Just listen to my sister."
Jiang Lili looked at Yi Yang: "Say, what's the matter?"
"I want to buy a car." Yi Yang said.
Jiang Lili and Wang Sangning were both a little surprised.
……
The car drove to a 4S store.
Wang Sangning was sleepy just now, and at this time she simply fell asleep in the back seat.
"Although this matter is your private matter and shouldn't be asked, I'm still very strange......" Jiang Lili frowned and looked at Yi Yang, who was driving: "Do you have money?"
Yi Yang smiled, "I have money."
Jiang Lili was stunned.
Yi Yang looked at the street in front of him and slowly spoke, "Hmm...... Because my sister never asked me about the situation at home in detail, there were some things I didn't tell my sister."
"Hmm."
Jiang Lili responded casually, she really didn't take the initiative to ask Yi Yang too much about things at home, but that was because it was difficult to speak.
She would feel that to ask Yi Yang about his family was to rub salt on his wounds.
"My dad used to wander around Hanning for a while, and he left me a little inheritance......
"Legacy?" Jiang Lili blinked, a little surprised.
"But to be honest, you don't seem to have said much about your father." Jiang Lili smiled: "You said that you don't seem to know me very well, but in fact, I suddenly realized that I don't know you very well either."
Yi Yang shook his head: "I can't say that, I was wrong just now, I know my sister very well, sister, I should also know me, what you see me like, it's what I look like, we just don't know each other's growth environment very well."
"That's right." Jiang Lili was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Yi Yang, can you tell me more about your family?"
Yi Yang was stunned and laughed, "Yes...... In the past, it was because my sister never took the initiative to ask, so I rarely talked about it."
"Okay then."
"That's it."
The car drove smoothly, and Yi Yang's attention gradually focused on the road ahead.
Holding the steering wheel, his mood is getting better and better, at the end of the road, the far other side is being pulled closer,
At both ends of the field of vision, the blurred scenery quickly fell into the rear that could not be seen, and it had nothing to do with the direction of travel, and at this moment, the steering wheel was in his hands, and he controlled the direction.
It's been so many years, and he hasn't felt so down-to-earth.
Jiang Lili sat in the co-pilot, and couldn't help but be a little stunned for a while.
I already feel that I drive very steadily and well, but now as a passenger, I can still experience some gaps with Yiyang......
When Yi Yang drives, the steering wheel is very stable, on the straight, if he doesn't deviate, he doesn't deviate at all, and when he corners, the center of gravity will be firmly controlled by him on the seat, and there will be no feeling of being thrown around.
She stealthily shifted her gaze away.
Yi Yang's side face, the bridge of his nose is straight and straight, his expression is calm, his eyes are calm, and the whole person is very relaxed, but it gives people a full sense of security.
After looking at it for two or three seconds, the corners of Jiang Lili's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, but then he thought of something, retracted his gaze, and sighed imperceptibly.
Outside the car window, a line of migratory birds flew across the sky, heading for warmth.
……
Why buy a car?
Yi Yang didn't think about himself, but the second uncle.
A while ago, the second uncle's micro card lent Uncle Wang in the village to pull firewood, but there was an accident, the car stopped on the road, and was scrapped when it was hit by a truck overtaking, fortunately there were no casualties.
It's a pity that although the second uncle's car is insured, it can only compensate the market price, and his car is not expensive, and it can only be compensated according to the price of the second-hand car, and in the end he was compensated more than 10,000 yuan.
The second uncle must be very sad, after all, it was the first car in his life.
Yi Yang thought about it, he hadn't repaid his second uncle for all these years, and now that he has money, of course he has to buy something for his second uncle.
