Chapter 216 The Urge to Buy a Ticket and Get on the Train

Li Mu originally wanted to invite Su Yingxue to have dinner together at noon, and give her the album and photos by the way, but unexpectedly, Su Yingxue, who was reading in the library, was picked up by her sister-in-law in a car. Li Mu could not see Su Yingxue, and Su Yingxue was also very special. I wanted to see what Li Mu had photographed that day, so he told Li Mu that he would do homework for his sister at his aunt's house in the afternoon, and he could come out to eat with him in the evening.

So Li Mu made an appointment with her and drove to her aunt's house to pick her up at night, and then went to Sanlitun for western food together.

The reason why Li Mu asked Su Yingxue to go to Sanlitun for dinner is mainly because there are many foreigners in the embassy area, so eating, drinking and playing are more western and more modern than other places. This is why Sanlitun will become a gathering place for bars and nightclubs in the future. , Li Mu also wants to investigate, what is the current situation of the nightlife in Sanlitun, and when the Fatty Wang nightclub is over, he is at least a shareholder, so he should be concerned about it.

When Li Mu returned to school with a photo album, Xu Jiaming was working overtime in his office.

In order to test the strength of the third generation of the Xu family, the old man of the Xu family put aside his doting or prejudice against several sons for the first time, and gave each of the three generations of heirs a sum of money by himself, so that they could try to rely on their own How to spend the money, Mr. Xu has his own requirements, the first is not to do anything that violates the criminal law; the second is not to borrow the resources and contacts of the Xu family; the third is not to use Any means of cheating to fund your business or to cheat.

In a big family with people like the Xu family, the helm of the family generally does not have too obvious bias in the treatment of children, especially when facing the younger generation, there is still some fairness and fairness on the surface. For example, in this kind of competition between third-generation descendants, it is said that everyone gets the same amount of money, and no one is allowed to help, but because there is a big gap in the strength of each family, these three-generation descendants are in the resource network. , there is a very large difference.

Although the old man is not allowed to borrow the resources and connections of the Xu family. But who can say such a thing? For example, Xu Jiaming's cousin Xu Jiahua is the most favored among the Xu family in their twenties and thirties. His father is the eldest son of Mr. Xu's first wife, and he is ten years older than Xu Jiaming's father. He is very popular with the old man, and Xu Jiahua is his youngest son. Among the three generations of heirs, almost no one can compare with him, and after he got the money from the old man. If he didn't do anything, some developers came directly to him and invited him to buy shares. This is his father's relationship, but this kind of relationship is not a contract. Who can tell?

It has only been more than a year since the competition started, and the company established by Xu Jiahua has already doubled the funds on hand through a real estate project, and this is only a valuation. Once the real estate is hot and then open for sale, the actual profit should reach 200%.

In contrast, Xu Jiaming was a bit miserable. After more than a year of tossing, he tossed 100 million to 50,000,000, and he lost almost half of it.

Xu Jiaming is optimistic about the Internet,

But his luck was a bit bad. He invested in several Internet companies, but basically failed to survive the A round. At the beginning of 2001, someone introduced him to invest in Chen Tianqiao. As a result, he went around Shanghai and felt that Chen Tianqiao's gambler temperament was too obvious, and he was not very optimistic. As a result, he missed the legend who was now exposed to the rising trend.

The situation from the launch of the legend to the present. His actuary told him that the estimated annual profit of Shanda's game is conservatively estimated to be in the tens of millions.

Xu Jiaming hurried to find Shanda again, but Shanda also saw great hope in the legend and began to ignore him.

Shanda's first financing after Legend's success took place in 2003, when Shanda and the Korean game maker Actoz, the parent company of "Legend," had a big fight. It was also the lowest point for Shanda at that time. At that time, SoftBank invested 40 million US dollars and accounted for 24.9% of the shares. This price was considered a bargaining price. At the time, SoftBank invested this money when the dispute between Shanda and Actoz could not be reconciled.

It can be seen that if Shanda develops smoothly, it will not easily allow capital to enter. Before the legend started, Xu Jiaming did not dare to get on the bus, and now it is too late to get on the bus.

Seeing that the other three generations are making money, only his own money is shrinking. Xu Jiaming also has a headache. In fact, he is also a person who understands economics and finance very well, but he does not understand the Internet, but he chooses to bet in the Internet industry. , so his failure is reasonable.

Today, only Xu Jiaming is working overtime in the entire company. He doesn't have any important work to do, but he has to wait for a friend here. That friend is the one who asked him to help him check Li Mu's situation yesterday. Just an hour ago, He called and told Xu Jiaming that the information from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau showed that Li Mu also had a company called Muye Technology. When he heard that Muye Technology had just registered, it immediately raised the A round at a valuation of 50 million, and the lead investment was Baidu is now beginning to rise.

Xu Jiaming's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood the meaning of Chen Ze's words yesterday. Li Mu's 3321 was not going to be used for profit. Chen Ze also said that if he wanted to get out of the quagmire, he had to make friends with Li Mu. The meaning in his words was obvious. It is nothing more than sending a signal: Li Mu can help himself, and it seems that the reason why he said this is Muye Technology.

As for what Muye Technology does, Xu Jiaming did not ask on the phone, but just asked the other party, how much do you know about Muye Technology?

The other party said that he was just making an outline and was about to report to him on the phone when Xu Jiaming said directly, "Come to our company for an interview."

So, Xu Jiaming immediately rushed to the company and waited for the friend to come.

At about eleven o'clock, a young man of Xu Jiaming's age walked into his company quickly, passed the work station outside, and walked straight to his office.

Pushing the door open, Xu Jiaming hurriedly stood up and said impatiently, "Kuankuan, sit down."

The young man known as Kuan Kuan is named Qin Kuan. Seven or eight generations of his family are natives of Yanjing. Although his family in Yanjing is not a big family, the victory is deeply rooted, and various channels and information are extremely well-informed. , is one of the strangest ones in Xu Jiaming's circle. According to his family background and background, he was definitely not able to enter this circle, but he has an extremely well-informed news network, which is very useful to many people like Xu Jiaming. Therefore, Qin Kuan was able to integrate into this circle whose strength was much higher than himself.

Qin Kuan sat down opposite Xu Jiaming, took out a document from his bag, handed it to Xu Jiaming, and said, "These are the relevant materials of Muye Technology."

Xu Jiaming nodded, took a look at the information, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, the post bar was originally created by Muye Technology."

Qin Kuan said: "It's not just Tieba, but also EasyTing.com, which is now the No. 1 MP3 download site in China. By the way, it is said that Tieba will soon surpass major chat rooms and forums and become the world's largest. Chinese-speaking community.”

Xu Jiaming's eyes flashed and he asked, "How fast?"

Qin Kuan said with a smile: "Very fast, even if Muye now announces that Tieba has become the world's largest Chinese-speaking community, I believe no one will come out to refute it."

Xu Jiaming exclaimed: "So, the valuation should be far more than fifty million."

"Yeah." Qin Kuan said, "50 million is the price a month or two ago, and now it is estimated to be at least 200 to 300 million. This is a fair valuation given by powerful people in the industry. Some of them are Personally, if Tieba can find a new profit model, the valuation will have a premium."

Xu Jiaming asked in surprise: "Tieba is so powerful, does it have no advertising revenue?"

Qin Kuan smiled: "This is the strange place. From YiTing.com to Tieba, there is not a single advertisement. Both websites are very pure. Maybe the people from Muye don't care about advertising revenue."

Xu Jiaming asked, "Is there any prospect for investing in Muye Technology now?"

Qin Kuan said embarrassedly: "Brother Ming, now it's not the question of whether or not he has a prospect to vote for him, but the question of whether or not people will allow him to vote. When Muye Technology was not established, several big companies wanted to vote for it, and even Anyone who wants to buy has given more than one offer, but they only want Baidu’s money, and they only give Baidu 10% of the shares.”

Xu Jiaming has some understanding of the Internet recently. When he contacted the form of Tieba, and then contacted Baidu's business status, Xu Jiaming understood it in his heart.

"It seems that Muye Technology wants Baidu's money. The main reason is that it values ​​Baidu's resources."

Qin Kuan nodded and said, "Brother Ming, you really mean it. People in the industry commented on Muye in two words: shrewd. Since the establishment of EasyTing.com, Li Mu has calculated every step very carefully, until now. Every move he makes is very good, especially the financing, Baidu only accounts for 10%, but it has contributed a considerable part of users and traffic to Tieba."

With that said, Qin Kuan revealed a piece of information to Xu Jiaming: "Now everyone is counting how long the money of Muye's A round can be spent. I heard that they are now expanding their technical team, and they have also begun to carry out publicity and promotion everywhere. In a month or two, the B round will be raised.”

Xu Jiaming asked, "How many are you interested in?"

Qin Kuan said with a smile: "A buddy from Yahoo said that the Internet industry can count now, and they are basically interested in Muye Technology."

Xu Jiaming fell silent for a while.

He calculated the account in his mind. Baidu invested in Makino Technology two months ago, and 5 million accounted for 10% of the shares. Now the valuation of Makino Technology is at least 300 million. If Baidu withdraws now, 5 million can become 300 million. Ten million, which is equivalent to a six-fold increase. This profit rate is almost unprecedented.

If you wait a year, how much can the valuation of Muye Technology reach? I dare not say that the initial valuation of 50 million can be doubled every two months, but after a year, it should not be a problem to double several times on the basis of 300 million? That's the way to go for a billion.

Xu Jiaming suddenly had the urge to buy a ticket and get on the train immediately, and immediately took out his mobile phone and called Li Mu. (To be continued.)
