I don't know when it was, or where I saw it.

Anyway, Goofy once heard the saying that "laziness is the beginning of all human inventions".

In this regard, Goofy once thought so.

However, when he came to the streets of Hangzhou thousands of miles away, another thought suddenly flashed in Gao Fei's heart - ambition may be the best driving force for men to move forward.

It's just that just when he was ambitious and looking forward to the beep station he had never met, reality gave him a hard slap in the face.

……

At 7 p.m., outside a near-rough rental house, the clammy temperature seemed to remind him that winter was not over.

However, compared to the temperature at the moment, the current atmosphere seems to be a little colder.

Even Jiang Hong didn't expect that Xu Yi would come out to open the door directly in pajamas and rabbit slippers.

Although as an anime lover, Jiang Hong is no stranger to this standard otaku look, but she didn't expect Xu Yi to dress like this in this situation.

For a while, the two men looked at each other, and the atmosphere was really awkward.

At this moment, although Gao Fei is wearing a suit and leather shoes, he is more formal than Xu Yi no matter how he looks at it.

So Jiang Hong couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, worried about what Gao Fei would think of Xu Yi and Beep because of this.

After all, this is the case in the shopping mall, although it is not advisable to judge people by their appearance, but formal dress itself represents a certain attitude of importance.

However, if you don't even give the least attention to others, then there is no way to talk about cooperation in the future.

Regarding this point, Jiang Hong estimates that Xu Yi himself does not have this kind of cognition.

Because he didn't have any other expressions at the moment except for some embarrassment and helplessness.

Fortunately, Goofy's eyesight and acting skills are equally excellent.

Although he was indeed a little stunned at first, Gao Fei soon saw the foundation of Xu Yi.

How to put it, it's a standard otaku!

This is true both in character and outwardly.

Of course, this may be an exaggeration, but it is.

This ability seems a bit mysterious, but there are actually not a few people in shopping malls who can do it.

Especially those business elders, they have their own unique set of methods in looking at people.

First, it is because the elders who can't "know people" are basically difficult to succeed in business.

Therefore, the survival of the fittest is down, and the rest are naturally the best players.

Second, it's true that many people are not good at hiding themselves.

Ordinary people can't even hide their emotions and moods, let alone hide their true nature.

Therefore, in the eyes of old rivers and lakes like Gao Fei, it is easy to be seen through at a glance.

In this way, Gao Fei naturally will no longer care about these details.

I saw that he immediately took the initiative to stretch out his hand with a smile on his face and said:

"Hello, Goofy!"

Seeing this, Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses and hurriedly shook hands with Gao Fei.

It's just that this one is standing inside the door and the other is standing outside the door, how awkward it looks.

At this moment, Jiang Hong didn't have any eyes, so she could only turn her head helplessly.

Seeing this, Xu Yi realized that something was wrong, so he immediately let the two of them in with an embarrassed face.

"I'm sorry, it's a bit messy inside, you can sit casually."

After saying that, I saw Xu Yi kick the three young people sleeping on the sofa one by one, and then gave up the seats for Gao Fei and Jiang Hong.

Seeing this, Goofy didn't care.

After all, Xu Yi, the name of the founder of the beep station, seems to be bluffing, but at the moment he is only in his early twenties, and he has just come out of school not long ago.

Such a young man who has been immersed in the second dimension for many years, it is difficult to say how mature this person can be.

And when the two sat down and chatted for a while, Goofy also found that this was indeed the case.

At the beginning, Xu Yi completely relied on the passion to create the beep station, and he didn't think about doing it for a long time.

Even in his opinion, one day when he can't afford the broadband fee, he will take the initiative to shut down this website, or sell it at Xuejia station.

As for the other three employees in the room, they had similar thoughts at the beginning, and it can be said that Station A single-handedly pushed them to the point where they are now.

But even though they have now replaced the original position of Station A, they can still only be crammed into such an inconspicuous rental house, and the only office facilities are those second-hand computers.

Even now, several of them still rely on the income from selling tens of thousands of advertising spaces to make up for the website operating costs of hundreds of thousands of yuan per month.

It can be said that survival is very difficult.

Seeing this, Gao Fei hadn't said anything yet, and Jiang Hong couldn't help but wonder if his decision this time was a bit hasty.

However, to Jiang Hong's surprise, as the two communicated, Gao Fei seemed to be more and more interested.

Gradually, Jiang Hong was not even needed as an intermediary, and Gao Fei and Xu Yi were already chatting happily there.

Of course, this is just Xu Yi's unilateral feelings.

After all, with Gao Fei's skills, he can make friends with almost whoever he wants to make at first sight.

The so-called "see people and talk about people, see ghosts and talk nonsense" is like this, which is an old craft for many years.

It's just that Gao Fei may have been a little too hard, and after chatting, Xu Yi even forgot that Gao Fei was here to inspect investment, and completely regarded this as a "two-dimensional netizen offline meeting".

Gao Fei saw that something was wrong, so he pulled the topic back.

Originally, before coming, Gao Fei had done a lot of pre-eucalyptus in his heart.

But at this moment, he found that none of them seemed to fit the current situation, so he simply chose to get straight to the point and took the initiative to express his willingness to invest.

To be honest, from the perspective of investors, Gao Fei's move is actually very unprofessional, because it is equivalent to handing over the initiative.

You must know that when many investors meet with entrepreneurs, no matter how optimistic they are about each other's projects, they will let them talk about their plans first.

Then, these investors will increase or decrease in this plan.

It's just that although Gao Fei, an angel investor, is not very professional, Xu Yi, an entrepreneur, is more amateurish.

I don't know if Gao Fei is talking too much about him.

So after Gao Fei put forward the idea of angel investment, Xu Yi, who was obviously very short of money, took the initiative to persuade Gao Fei to think about it again.

In his words, they are a grass platform team, and the beep station is also a personal site, with no certificates, and the number of users is only hundreds of thousands.

If Goofy's money is invested, what will happen if he loses it in the end?

And when Jiang Hong on the side saw such a strange negotiation situation, he suddenly felt that his mind was a little confused.

Even for a moment, she felt like what she thought was an experience that was outdated.

Fortunately, reason told her that the two people in front of her were wonderful, which did not make Jiang Hong "collapse of the Dao heart" on the spot.

……

At the same time, Gao Fei was also made to smile a little bitterly by Xu Yi's reaction.

It's just that the more "immature" Xu Yi is, the stronger Gao Fei's desire to invest becomes.

So I saw Gao Fei immediately smile and said freely:

"Don't worry, I can still afford to lose this money, it's a big deal to take on another drama!"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Yi was suddenly dumbfounded.

Then he reremembered the identity of Gao Fei as a star.

Even if he is mixed with two dimensions, he basically doesn't care about the entertainment industry on weekdays, and he doesn't chase stars much, but Xu Yi still has points in his heart about how hot Gao Fei is.

Especially after seeing Gao Fei's performance in the Spring Festival Gala last night, these otaku have become more and more regarded Gao Fei as a popular superstar.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi suddenly had nothing to say.

After all, no matter how you look at it, Goofy is the most suitable angel investor.

So between the three words, the two reached a consensus.

Even the speed was so fast that Jiang Hong didn't have time to interject, and the two of them settled the matter.

This made Jiang Hong suddenly not know what to say.

……

Late at night, after signing the contract and leaving the rental house.

On the car back, Jiang Hong was silent for a long time before he hesitated and said:

"Boss, this ...... Isn't it a bit too rushed? ”

Hearing this, Gao Fei couldn't help but smile and glance at it, and teased:

"Weren't you more anxious than me before you came, why, have you changed your mind now?"

Hearing this, Jiang Hong's face suddenly turned slightly red, and he immediately subconsciously brushed his hair, and said a little embarrassed:

"No, I just feel that the valuation you just gave is too high, and if you talk about it again, it should be able to come down."

As a professional financial director, Jiang Hong naturally measured it in advance before persuading Gao Fei to invest in Beep.

Judging from the price of last year's Hangzhou winger's 4 million acquisition of Station A, the valuation of Beep Station should be between 4 million and 7 million today.

This is also the reason why Jiang Hong just said that the valuation can be talked about.

Seeing her say this, Gao Fei didn't tease her anymore, but nodded seriously.

"I know, but ...... That's what I want. ”

……

It is said that after some exchanges just now, after Gao Fei gave a valuation of 10 million, Xu Yi was stunned on the spot.

You know, he's just a fledgling college graduate.

Don't look at his university at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, but Xu Yi is different from other classmates, he goes to a two-year program, that is, a junior college, and can only get a quasi-bachelor's degree after graduation.

This is also the reason why he has already graduated from college at the age of 21.

In this way, as long as Xu Yi nodded.

So now, when he is just 22 years old, he will immediately get a huge sum of seven million from Gao Fei.

This is undoubtedly a huge temptation for a young man who came out of a small town in the south of the Yangtze River.

And then Xu Yi's reaction was really not as Gao Fei expected.

After a few seconds of silence, he immediately nodded in agreement without hesitation.

……

At the same time, in the face of the doubtful Jiang Hong, Gao Fei did not sell off.

I saw him chuckle with emotion:

"Presumably after meeting Xu Yi, you have been lowering the evaluation of the beep station, right?"

Seeing Gao Fei ask this, Jiang Hong did not hide it, and immediately nodded lightly.

Because it's a normal thing.

As for the performance of the founding team of Beep Station just now, in Jiang Hong's opinion, no matter which investor is changed, it is estimated that their rating will be lowered.

No way, there are too few highlights and too many slots.

It's just that Gao Fei smiled happily when he saw this:

"I'm different from you, I was a little hesitant before setting off again, but after talking to Xu Yi...... o (n_n) o haha ~ beep station I voted for this project. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Fei couldn't help but laugh heartily.

And the reason why Gao Fei's reaction is diametrically opposed to Jiang Hong has to start with the beep station project itself.

In fact, according to the investment practice in the industry, the average angel investor will rarely take 70% of the shares as soon as they come up.

You must know that even if Son was very optimistic about Ahri, he only planned to invest 40 million US dollars in exchange for 40% of Ahri's shares.

Because Son knew that if investors held too many shares, the company's founding team would likely lose the motivation to forge ahead.

Even if Son is like this, Ma Yun still feels that the 40% shareholding ratio is too high, and the company's control is easy to lose.

So after careful analysis, he resisted the temptation and only needed $20 million, thus only transferring 20% of the shares to SoftBank.

It was only later that due to various reasons, under the continuous increase of Son Masayoshi's holdings, Soft and Hard gradually won 34% of Ahri's shares and became the largest shareholder of Ahri.

However, the current situation of the beep station is completely different from the original Ahri.

Because compared with Ahri, who already had a complete founder team, the founding team of today's Beep Station is actually seriously insufficient.

And the most important thing is that after some communication just now, Gao Fei found that Xu Yi, the founder, was not strong.

To put it simply, he is a good initiator, but not a good leader and operator.

Even Gao Fei vaguely found that Xu Yi's personality has a certain inferiority complex to a certain extent, and these characteristics are fatal weaknesses for an entrepreneur.

Because throughout the ages, those who can achieve great things must be extremely confident, even narcissistic and conceited people. Only in this way can they be able to stand out from the crowd and move forward under pressure at critical times.

Therefore, without a strong heart, it is difficult to make a career.

It's just that these shortcomings of the beep station are just bright spots in Gao Fei's eyes.

Because he is not an angel investor in the first place, he doesn't want to be an investor.

From the very beginning, Gao Feide's purpose was to make the beep station a part of his career...... Just like the acquisition of Zhouyi Film and Television.

And from this point of view, a founding team like Beep Station is simply suitable.

Understaffed?

It doesn't matter, I will transfer people directly from Zhouyi, and I will transfer you as much as I lack, until there is a qualified start-up team at Beep.

As for the founder's lack of competence and flawed personality?

That's even better!

Since Xu Yi dreams of being completely financially free before the age of thirty, so that he can be an anime otaku with peace of mind, it will be as he wishes.

These hard work are all handed over to me, you don't have to worry about the management, just lie down and pay dividends!

……

After listening to Gao Fei's words, Jiang Hong was silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but shake his head with emotion.

At this moment, she has to admit that Goofy's success is indeed not a fluke.

Although he did not receive any professional training in business, he always made the most suitable move without a teacher.

This made Jiang Hong feel for the first time that there may really be people in this world who are naturally suitable to be leaders.
