"Why did you suddenly fly to Yanjing on a business trip? Did the filming of "Crazy Aliens" and "Passing by Your World" go wrong? Xu Ru was a little nervous.

She was wearing a brown tweed coat on her upper body, a round-necked sweatshirt underneath, and silver round earrings, apparently hurriedly packing her luggage from home to meet Zheng Wentong at the airport.

Zheng Wentong looked at Xu Ru, "The average temperature in Yanjing in December is around 0 degrees, you wear a coat to go over, aren't you afraid of freezing and catching a cold?" ”

Xu Ru saw that Zheng Wentong and Zhao Hailong were both wearing down jackets, "It's okay, I'm more frost-resistant, and we basically go to Yanjing indoors, so it's okay." ”

Before boarding, Zheng Wentong and Xu Ru talked about the situation, and Xu Ru was also surprised, "Although Zeng Li is rarely in the company, he is polite and helpful every time he sees us, I didn't expect him to be such a person." ”

Xu Ru now understands why Zheng Wentong didn't bring his girlfriend, if he just went to Yanjing to visit some friends in the entertainment industry, then it was just right to bring Bai Xiaolu.

If it is to do crisis public relations for Yanjing Pony Galloping, then it is better to keep a low profile, after all, Xiaolu is no longer a little star when he first debuted.

"I rarely go to Pudong Development Building these days, is the company okay?" Zheng Wentong's main focus in December and January was on the side of Micro Ke Xinke.

"Teacher Liang Hui has begun to contact Pinduoduo, Huang Zheng said that Pinduoduo is not short of funds now, but Huang Zheng said that he is willing to make an appointment with Mr. Zheng to meet, maybe he can change his mind?"

Pinduoduo is really not short of money, and the founder Huang Zheng is the fourth disciple of Huaxia Buffett Duan Yongping.

The top three disciples are Chen Mingyong, the founder of OPPO, Shen Wei, the founder of vivo, Jin Zhijiang, the CEO of BBK, and the last one created a little genius watch.

Before founding Pinduoduo, Huang Zheng had already achieved financial freedom through mobile games, and Pinduoduo belonged to the second venture.

I think of a certain anchor in the live broadcast room, there are 60,000 water friends to help him cut a knife, to get a mobile phone, but the result is still a failure, and finally Pinduoduo sent the anchor a voucher before the order was successful.

Pinduoduo is to grasp the psychology of Chinese people who like to be cheap, so that it can be so successful in marketing.

From this point of view, Huang Zheng is the most typical elite thinking, a hero who is a result-oriented hero, and only cares about the result, not the process.

Duan Yongping himself is a marketing master, a successful boss in the 90s, everyone knows the importance of advertising, the Xiaobawang game machine can't be sold, Duan Yongping directly changed it to the Xiaobawang learning machine, and invited Jackie Chan to endorse it.

The learning machine advertisement is a learning game, and parents buy it because they want their children to use it for learning, and children use it to play games. Around 2000, NetEase's stock plummeted, and Duan Yongping changed careers to invest and bought NetEase shares in a big way, becoming a god in the investment market in one fell swoop.

Since its establishment, Pinduoduo has had Duan Yongping, Penguin, Taobao founder Sun Tongyu, and various investment institutions supporting them all the way.

In April this year, Pinduoduo received an angel round of financing, and the investors were Duan Yongping, Ding Sanshi, SF Wang Wei and Sun Tongyu, the original founder of Taobao.

According to the original historical trajectory, Pinduoduo will complete the A round of financing in March next year, with IDG Capital, Gaorong Capital and Hu Zemin of Magic Capital as investors.

In July '16, Pinduoduo immediately began a Series B financing of $110 million, and Penguin began to enter the game at this time.

If Slope Investment wants to invest in Pinduoduo, after Pinduoduo completes the B round of financing, the valuation will usher in a leap, and investors who have participated in the angel round and A round will begin to transfer their shares.

After Pinduoduo completes the C and D rounds of financing, everyone knows that Pinduoduo is about to go public, and naturally they are reluctant to sell their shares, so the time period between the B round of financing and the C round of financing is the best opportunity.

However, the valuation of Pinduoduo's B round of financing has exceeded 500 million US dollars, and the price at which Slope Investment buys shares is no longer cheap, which can be tolerated by Zheng Wentong, who invested in advance.

Startups pay more attention to the resources behind venture capital, and Pinduoduo is not short of money now, so what is he lacking now?

Zheng Wentong, who was sitting in the first class, had been thinking about this question, and he didn't even hear the flight attendant's question clearly, "Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng." ”

Zheng Wentong shook his head, "I'm sorry, I was thinking about it just now." ”

The sweet-looking, tall stewardess bent down and asked, "Mr. Zheng, I'm sorry to disturb, I just wanted to ask what drink you need here?" ”

"Help get a bottle of water, thank you." Zheng Wentong didn't care.

The stewardess handed the mineral water to Zheng Wentong, "Hello Mr. Zheng, you want water." ”

Zheng Wentong saw that the flight attendant hadn't left yet, so she wanted to speak and stopped, "Is there anything else going on here?" ”

The flight attendant smiled, "Hello Mr. Zheng, I am a fan of your Weitoutiao account, is it inconvenient to take a group photo before getting off the plane later?" ”

Zheng Wentong smiled dumbly, "I'm not a star, so there's no need to take a group photo, you can send me a private message when you get off the plane, and I'll ask my girlfriend to follow your account." ”

The flight attendant was a little disappointed and said goodbye politely, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Zheng, you can rest first." ”

After getting off the plane, Zheng Wentong chatted with Xu Ru about it, Xu Ru blinked her big beautiful eyes, "Such a beautiful flight attendant, you can't bear to refuse to take a group photo, you are really ruthless!" Are you worried that I will sue the fawn? Don't worry, I'm sure I'll protect my boss's privacy. ”

"You're going to test the cadres with this? That cadre can't stand such a test? Zheng Wentong imitated Fan Wei to speak.

"I'm not as hospitable as a big brother, take a photo with a flight attendant, and deliberately come to the address to send gifts, and I can't learn the skills of some people playing flight attendants for three years in vain."

"If I hadn't gotten married, I wouldn't have wanted to marry you." Xu Ru's words were scorching.

"Oh, why?" Zheng Wentong was curious.

"A man is either greedy for money or lustful. If he is neither greedy for money nor lustful, then he must be keen on the pursuit of power, and this kind of person is more controlling. Xu Ru concluded.

"Why do you say I'm not greedy for money? If I am not greedy for money, why should I start a company? Zheng Wentong asked rhetorically.

"Because although you are chasing wealth, you have a very strong attitude towards money. If others had so much money from you, they would have started to enjoy life a long time ago. ”

Onigiri Exploration Book

"Except for buying an old bungalow, a Porsche, and two famous watches, you have almost no personal expenses."

"Outside of work, in addition to spending time with my girlfriend, I am reading, swimming and running, which is too self-disciplined. Sometimes I even suspect that you have a middle-aged man's vicissitudes of life hidden under your young appearance, and you are too tired to live. Is being a boss so stressful? Xu Ru's words made Zheng Wentong's heart chuckle.

"The average life expectancy of domestic entrepreneurs is 53 years. If I give up running the company now and move to Hong Kong Island, I can live comfortably. ”

"The old American writer Karen. According to's book, the pathological quest for power, fame, and wealth is the neurotic personality of our time! ”

"Gandhi also said that seven acts are sufficient to destroy mankind, without the knowledge of the human person, without the science of humanity, without the politics of principle, without the wealth of toil, without moral commerce, without the pleasure of conscience, and without sacrificial worship."

"Do you know why the saying says that good people don't live long, but evil lasts for a thousand years? It's not because there is no reward for good and evil, but because some people want to chase power and wealth, after crossing the moral bottom line, their conscience will no longer hurt, because unruly people are more likely to take shortcuts, so society has always taught ordinary people to keep to themselves, which is why honest people always suffer. ”

"Suffering is suffering, and suffering does not lead to success. The reason why a poor family can produce a noble son is also because the child is hard-working, sensible, and has a talent for learning, which has little to do with the background of a poor family. ”

"In fact, the proportion of children in poor families with poor grades is higher, and there are many people who drop out of school early to work, and they should feel the hardships of society earlier from entering school and entering society, and do not use the hardships and sufferings of the poor as inspirational stories to fool the people at the bottom."

"Why did you suddenly feel so much emotion?" Xu Ru felt strange.

"Some people do charity to avoid taxes and gain fame, like Gates and Zuckerberg, and some people do charity because they really want to help others. The pursuit of leaving a name in history is the greatest greed, and I don't want to be scolded for being loyal to the family when I get old. ”

After complaining, Zheng Wentong felt much more comfortable, and the haze of being entangled by Zeng's eucalyptus dissipated a lot.

Zhong Lifang and Gao Han came to the airport to pick them up, and the two of them looked anxious and solemn.

Zheng Wentong's expression was relaxed, "What a big deal, this time fortunately, it was discovered early and dealt with in a timely manner, in case before the listing, a competitor broke the news, and our IPO will be yellow!" ”

The Yanjing pony galloping reception car has been changed to a shotgun, and it has become Maybach and Alpha, Zheng Wentong and Zhong Lifang sit in Maybach to talk about things, and Xu Ru follows Gao Han to sit in Alpha.

"This matter can't be hidden for long, wait for the shareholders' meeting, elect new directors, and let the secretary of the board of directors explain to the outside world that Zeng Mouyu was unable to perform his duties due to personal reasons, and resigned as a director and general manager of Pony Galloping New Media Co., Ltd."

"Several other film and television companies will definitely buy press releases, ready to talk about Zhang Yibai's black history, you tell him to be honest and not make mistakes again. In the future, if there is negative news about the company's directors, actors and screenwriters, they will all terminate the cooperation and will not tolerate it, and no one will have the capital to be proud in front of me! ”

"Do you want to see Pengyu over there? After we reported to the police, he made a big fuss in the company, saying that he was meritorious to the company, and was not convinced, and asked to see you, saying that you completed the acquisition of the pony galloping and unloading the mill and killing the donkey. Zhong Lifang said cautiously.

"Nope! What's there to see! Unloading the mill and killing the donkey, thanks to his face, he has the face to say, a "Three-Body Problem" copyright grinding can't be worn down for several months, and I have to go out in person, didn't I pay him a salary? ”

"Fortunately, the company has not started to go public, otherwise we would have to cash out the equity incentive to him, tens of millions of dollars in vain, stepping on the horse, it can be regarded as a timely stop loss!" Zheng Wentong breathed a long sigh of relief.
