Jingwei Garden Building A.

The top garden is surrounded by two rows of tall ornamental bamboos, verdant, with a set of rattan tables and chairs in the middle of a seating area, and a fully automatic retractable awning above the head, surrounded by some seasonal flowers and plants.

"Mr. Chen, it is not difficult to see from your company's environmental design that you are a person with style and dreams."

Zhou Zi smiled slightly and slapped a big sycophant.

"Mr. Zhou made a special trip, just to show me a look? Do you want to see Feng Shui for future technology? ”

Chen Heyu teased, taking advantage of the situation and looking at him openly.

Thirty years old, the most golden age of a man, there is no shortage of knowledge, wealth, and experience, an elite face, self-disciplined personality, and decent conversation.

The luxurious royal blue slim suit, close to the waistline, with a white shirt and blue tie inside, looks meticulous, and belongs to the same kind of person as Liao Feng.

But he is more sharp and confident than Liao Feng!

"Boss Chen smiled, in fact, I represent DES this time, and I want to buy the part of the equity of Didi Taxi in your hand."

Zhou Zi snorted and said the purpose directly.

"That's all?"

Chen Heyu smiled, not believing his nonsense at all.

If you want equity, wouldn't it be more convenient to fly directly to Shanghai to contact Lao Zhou?

In the past two years, Shanhai Capital has participated in the angel round and A round of financing of dozens of Internet companies, and has also sold part of its equity, led by Zhou Xiaoyu.

If it was just for Didi's stake in a taxi, there was no need to go to great lengths to bypass Zhou Xiaoyu and come to visit him.

Zhou Zi smiled, he didn't expect his trick to be seen through by the other party so quickly.

So he said calmly: "At the beginning of the establishment of Future Technology, it was included in the sight of DES Investment Group, and after more than a year of development, it is amazing that Mr. Chen can come up with such a great product as Moss......"

"So, DES intends to invest? Sorry, with all due respect, if you're professional enough, you'll understand that I'm not short of money, and money is just the cheapest resource for the future of technology. ”

Chen Hayu waved his hand and interrupted him.

"Yes, I know very well that Chen is always the largest shareholder of Kangaroo Flash, holding two trump cards of Shanhai Capital and Shanhai Film and Television, and holding a part of the equity of Fortune Treasure.

However, according to my observation, the business blueprint of future technology should not be limited to China.

DES is a global investment institution, the energy behind it will be beyond Mr. Chen's imagination, in addition to capital, we can also provide a wealth of business resources, channel contacts, to help you speed up the development of overseas markets.

In the beautiful country, DES also has many allies, including investment banking giants such as Gao Sheng and Bales. ”

Zhou Zi talked and laughed freely, trying to impress him with things other than money.

"Actually, I don't plan to accept financing, Zhou is always a smart person, guess why I agreed to meet today?"

After Chen Heyu listened to his statement, he was indifferent, and instead asked rhetorically.

Zhou Zi's eyebrows furrowed, and his brain began to think wildly.

The other party does not lack funds, resources, and connections, all of which are not needed, so why did he agree to meet?

"Mr. Chen, is it for me?"

After Zhou Zi was silent for a moment, he had a flash of inspiration, thought of a possibility, and then asked boldly.

"What do you think of the future of technology? In the field of artificial intelligence, is it considered a frontrunner? ”

Chen Heyu picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip lightly, and continued to ask rhetorically.

"I have worked in Gaosheng for two years, participated in the investment of some artificial intelligence projects, and frankly speaking, Future Technology is in the first echelon in terms of R&D level.

At least, on the side of the beautiful country, such a powerful product has not yet appeared. ”

Zhou Zi thought about it and said honestly.

"Are you interested in joining Future Technology? Annual salary, options, positions, I can give you. ”

Chen Heyu put down the coffee cup and said in a gentle tone.

"Thank you Mr. Chen for your appreciation, but I'm here to talk about investment today."

Zhou Zi smiled bitterly.

I'm here to give money, not to sell myself!

"Me too, but I'm not interested in DES banknotes, and I want to invest in you as a person, think about it, I'll help you keep the position of CFO of Future Technology first."

Chen Heyu stood up, walked on the side of the rooftop, and looked at the rows of high-rise buildings in the distance.

The meaning is instructed: "Life is rare for seventy years, ten years of young and ten years old, and the remaining fifty years are divided into days and nights, and there are only twenty-five years left. ”

"Mr. Zhou, don't you want to see the scenery from above?"

"Mr. Chen, can I visit your company?"

Changing jobs is not a big deal for him, but making a wrong choice is, Zhou Zi is extremely cautious, and after listening to Chen Heyu's lobbying, he put forward his own requirements.

He needs to obtain more data and information after observation, so that he can have the ability to answer Chen Heyu's question.

"Please feel free, Mr. Zhang, you accompany Mr. Zhou for a walk around."

Chen Heyu commanded at Zhang Nan on the side.

"I'm in trouble, Mr. Zhang."

Zhou Zi stood up, followed behind Zhang Nan, and said politely with a smile.

"Mr. Zhou, you're welcome, which department do you want to go to first?"

Zhang Nan asked.

The whole company is divided into two research institutes, and there are more than a dozen departments in total, so you can't show them all to each other.

"Can I go to the graduate school? If it's convenient. ”

Zhou Zi thought about it for a few seconds and replied.

……

Looking at the two people who left, Chen Heyu sat back in his position and tasted the coffee sent by Mr. Lei.

Take out your phone and swipe through the hot news to pass the boring time.

"On the first day of the release of "Manslaughter 2", it won 68 million, and continued the myth of the box office of mountains and seas!"

Seeing this, Chen Heyu smiled heartily, the Chinese film industry in 2013 is indescribable, there are few who can play, and the first place at the annual box office is Xing Ye's "Journey to the West".

New young director Xiao Yang VS Zhou Xingxing, the king of comedy!

Whether the box office of "Manslaughter 2" can surpass "Journey to the West" has become the focus of discussion in the circle for a while.

"Journey to the West" was released during the Spring Festival!

"Manslaughter 2" was released on the National Day!

Judging from the box office performance on the first day, "Manslaughter 2" is still slightly inferior and slightly insufficient.

But on the second day of release, all the people who originally sang about Xiao Yang were dumb, and on October 1, the box office was 140 million!

The market totaled 190 million on the day, and "Manslaughter 2" siphoned away 70% of the box office!

exceeded the peak box office of "Journey to the West" by 20 million!

It is also the highest single-day box office record of the whole year!

The combination of Xiao Yang + Liu Dehua, the veteran king with the new first-line male star, the excellent script, the excellent production team, and the word-of-mouth accumulated in the previous film, broke out on this day.

has achieved the most dazzling box office results in the history of Chinese films!

On October 2, the third day of release, the box office was 120 million!

On October 3rd, the fourth day of release, the box office was 110 million!

On October 4th, the fifth day of release, the box office was 93 million!

On October 5th, the sixth day of release, the box office was 85 million!

On October 6th, the seventh day of release, the box office was 67 million!

On October 7th, the eighth day of release, the box office was 59 million!

In just eight days, the cumulative total box office of "Manslaughter 2" is 740 million, and the final predicted box office given by Meow Eye Professional Edition is 1.58 billion!

"Di Renjie's Divine Dragon King", which was released at the same time, trembled and lingered under the amazing box office results of "Manslaughter 2".

The number of films scheduled has dropped dramatically, attendance has dropped sharply, and there are very few people discussing the film.

In the same time, only barely 160 million was earned!

Coupled with the previous cumulative box office, it is less than 300 million!

In the publicity and distribution stage, the producer advocated this 3D stunt blockbuster, with a total investment of 150 million!

Chen Heyu sneered, I hope they had better brag, otherwise the box office results of less than 400 million will be difficult to recover the cost.

The second hot search.

"Future Technology will open the second round of Moss smart speaker sales on October 10th, and it is reported that the inventory is as high as 300,000 units!"

At the end of the factory, after expanding the production line, increasing manpower, and optimizing efficiency, the daily production capacity finally exceeded the 40,000 unit mark.

Ten days later, Chen Yong urgently allocated 300,000 units from the warehouse to support the second wave of sales.

Moss smart speakers,Each one is 60 yuan of manufacturing cost + packaging + freight + marketing expenses + tax,The final actual cost is close to 80 yuan,Chen Heyu set the price of 99 yuan,It's almost sticking to the cost of doing。

He handed over the burden of profit to the "role" usage fee, and from the first round of sales data, 67% of users are willing to open the role simulation, although most people choose the 12 yuan monthly card package.

The annual card opening rate of 99 yuan is only less than 10%!

But fortunately, the business model has been fully run, and the next step is to expand production and continue to increase market share.

The co-branded mobile phone of Rice 2S and Moss is also in full swing in design and production, ready to surprise users at the end of the year.

The third hot search is still related to movies.

"Goryeo director Han Dongyu spent 3 million to buy the film adaptation rights of "When a Man is in Love", which is expected to be released next spring."

This is a rare case of a foreign director buying a domestic script, which has inspired Chinese filmmakers.

Not long ago, when Han Dongyu was filming in Goryeo, he accidentally learned that a love movie in Huaguo was exactly the same as the plot he was filming, and his first reaction was that the script was leaked.

However, when I inquired with a friend in Huaguo, I learned that the other party had completed the film filing in 2012, and they were obviously earlier.

That's screenwriter plagiarism!

TNND, isn't this a cheat!

He was so angry that he immediately fired the screenwriter's squid in front of everyone in the crew, but the problem always had to be solved.

If it is released head-on, it will definitely be angry with the audience, and if they choose not to release it, all the investment in the early stage will be wasted.

In desperation, he could only obediently pay three million and hand it over to Shanhai Film and Television, and the Goryeo version of "When a Man Falls in Love" has also become a remake from the original!

Chen Heyu grinned, let your little stick be shameless every day, and dare to say anything is your own.

I started to search for new hit movies in my head, and I plan to take the lead!

……

An hour later.

Zhang Nan took Zhou Zi back to the rooftop again.

"Mr. Zhou, how did you think about it, did you have any new gains after the visit?"

Chen Heyu asked with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, you are a unique Chinese entrepreneur, before this, I have never seen a company like Future Technology, which is willing to spend money on research and development, knows how to collect talents, and achieves salary and treatment in line with international standards."

Zhou Zi's eyes were full of curiosity, wanting to see through Chen Heyu's heart and figure out his true thoughts.

Does the other party really want to build a great business, not a company that makes money?

"Join Future Technology, and together we will bring this company to new heights."

Chen Heyu said sincerely.

"Please give me a month, I need to finish the work of DES, and before I leave, I also have to give an explanation to the boss."

Zhou Zi bowed his head, which can be regarded as a positive response to his invitation.

"No problem, welcome to join."

Chen Heyu shook hands with him, and then asked Zhang Nan to call Wu Chen and Wei Gang, the two R&D leaders, as well as the directors of various departments, to prepare to have a meal together at noon and familiarize themselves with it in advance.

Zhou Zi studied economics at Wudu University, and after graduation, he got a job as an investment banker at Gaosheng, and two years later entered Harvard Business School for further study and interned at Facebook.

In 2010, he was invited by a friend to join DES as a partner in Dahua, and has invested in companies such as Rice, Jingdong, Didi Taxi, etc.

In the future, in 2015, he will join Rice Mobile and work from CFO to Executive Director, making great contributions to the listing of Rice Group.

Rebus gave him 100 million shares, and after conversion, his annual salary was as high as 100 million US dollars, becoming a new generation of working emperors.

But these must be, join the previous VAM agreement!

Zhou Zi's ability to successfully operate and market rice also shows his extraordinary ability and strong connections.

In 2021, he joined the Comic Group as the CEO of Comic International, responsible for overseas market business.

Belongs to the real high-end management talents, compared with Zhang Nan, his resume is more suitable for the development of the international market, not only has rich financing experience, but also has a global thinking, this kind of person, in Moss Overseas Strategy Department, can shine.

From his ability to make quick decisions and join Future Technology, it is not difficult to see that the other party is a person who likes challenges.

This kind of person, DES is destined to not be retained, and maybe future technology will not be able to retain it in the future, but Chen Heyu doesn't care.

Maxima is often there, Bole is not often, there are so many management geniuses in later generations, and if you run away and change another one, you are afraid that the other party will be reluctant to leave.

Zhang Nan chose a star-rated restaurant and booked a banquet, while rewarding the management, he also gave Zhou Zi an early pick-up.

"Mr. Chen, are you still selling 3% of Didi's equity? I'm really here with a mission. ”

Zhou Zi said with a smile during the banquet.

"What price can DES offer?"

Chen Heyu asked.

In the first half of the year, he confessed to Zhou Xiaoyu and quickly threw away Didi's equity, but he didn't meet a suitable opportunity and buyer.

While accepting Zhou Zi this time, he also settled a troublesome matter.

He didn't want to participate in the crazy taxi subsidy war at all, so he let the two horses play on their own, and then consider whether to continue to enter the stadium when it was over.

"At present, DES's internal valuation expectation for Didi is 800 million US dollars, so the 3% equity can be given up to 2,400 US dollars."

Zhou Zi explained.

What is Didi's highest market cap?

After Chen Heyu recalled, he only remembered that it was 80 billion US dollars, and his 3% equity, even after more than ten rounds of dilution, would still have at least 1% left.

That's 24 million US dollars for 800 million US dollars!

Properly lose money business.

"It seems that I just want to go one way to the black, and it is not wise to sell equity now."

Chen Heyu thought about it again and again, but still rejected Zhou Zi and planned to continue to pursue the online car-hailing track.

After overturning the previous strategy, he called Zhou Xiaoyu and told him to readjust Didi's investment grade back to S-level and focus on it.
