Chapter 707 Finally Willing to Pay the Bill

Sitting in the Japanese food shop called Yu in Yao Er.

Shi Lei took a bite of the dish and put a little too much mustard on it. His nose was seriously challenged.

Shi Lei quickly took a sip of wine and finally regained his composure.

"It seems like it's been a long time since we sat down and had a quiet meal like this." Shi Lei picked up a wet wipe and wiped the corners of his mouth and said.

Yao Er looked at Shi Lei calmly, put down his chopsticks, picked up his wine glass, and said, "It should be said that I haven't had such a peaceful meal in a long time."

Shi Lei clinked the glasses with him, the two finished the wine, and then poured the second medicine into Shi Lei's cup.

"It sounds like this is my store, but when I walked in just now, the waiter looked at me as if he were a strange customer. It would be fine if my store was the same as other stores, but it's not. The waiters, the least of them, have been with me for five years, and they were all trained by me."

Shi Lei smiled and said, "Why, do you have any complaints?"

Yao Er shook his head and said: "That's not true. Since I agreed to help my husband, I won't have any complaints. What's more, the salary my husband offered me is already a lot for a CEO of a company with a valuation of less than one billion." It’s a sky-high price.”

"What you get is stock, not salary."

Yao Er waved his hand and said: "What's the difference between shares and salary? It's just that one is fixed and the other is floating. Anyway, if you leave, there will be nothing."

"If you want shares, just tell me, I won't be reluctant to part with you."

Yao Er nodded and said, "I know this, but I'm not too interested in these things. What I care about is when I don't have to be so hands-on anymore."

"The time is still short. It's only been half a year, and the whole plate is less than one billion. If you want to stand up, it's not interesting to control it, right?"

Yao Er picked up some okra and put it in his mouth.

"That's true. But I've been really busy lately."

"It's almost time. When I think about what to invest in the third project, you will have to withdraw even if you don't want to. It's no longer appropriate for me to hold shares like this. So, you should delegate as much power as possible now, and then Help me find more people who can guard one side."

"I'm doing this, but the cultivation of talents always requires a process. During this process, I have to personally check everything. Shi Qiang is very strong, and Baoan almost doesn't need me to worry about it. He comes to me, the only one The reason is money. Since the establishment of the company, among the people you have invited, Shi Qiang is the best, and Mamba is still a little behind."

Shi Lei understood this and asked casually: "How is Baoan doing?"

"More than 10,000 vehicles were invested. Although Chongbai had a month's head start, he did not take advantage of it. It is said that Cao Chong became so angry about this that he dropped several of his mobile phones. . I think his biggest personal expense this year is to buy a mobile phone. There are rumors from the outside that Chongbai may reduce its deployment in the Baoan market, because Cao Chong said that if we wait until we open the Yangcheng market, if Chongbai can no longer beat us, He was going to kick the entire management team out."

Shi Lei pursed his lips and smiled and said: "He is still so impulsive."

"Ye Luzi was born and has genius ideas, but no genius ability, and he doesn't understand what personnel management is. He thinks that the company belongs to him, so he has to have the final say in everything. Little does he know that for many start-up companies, it is certainly a matter of course to reach their peak. It’s because of the boss’s righteousness, but it’s also because of this. A righteous company requires its boss not to make mistakes, but Cao Chong obviously doesn’t have such ability.”

"If it were you, if someone took the initiative away from you, how would you handle it?"

Yao Er glanced at Shi Lei and taught him carefully: "Bao'an Market may not be more important than Yangcheng, but it is by no means inferior to Yangcheng. If it were me and I encountered a strong enemy, I would fight to the death with him. Even if I can't win, The other party must also consume the other party to the maximum extent. In this way, it can at least delay the other party's entry into Yangcheng. What's more, an opportunity is always an opportunity. No matter how powerful Shi Qiang is, it is impossible for him to release the first batch of 5,000 bicycles. After that, we immediately overturned the more than 10,000 bicycles that had been deployed in Chongbai. This requires a process. We save more effort in publicity. This is because the government and the central government are optimistic. However, the market still needs to eat one bite at a time. There is no A person's ability is zero today and ninety percent tomorrow. However, Cao Chong made the worst choice. He actually chose to retreat. The best defense is always to take the initiative to attack. This person is not capable and has too little courage. .”

Shi Lei nodded and asked: "Since the purpose is just to slow down the other party, how is it different from going all out to create the Yangcheng market? Why waste money in vain?"

"How can you control a rapidly growing company if you don't even have the courage to fight a decisive battle with your competitors? As soon as you encounter competition, you will give up the market. So how much market can you give away? There are only four in first-tier cities . They are already at a disadvantage in the Imperial City, the Magic City has not yet entered, and Baoan has given up. So what if Yangcheng wins a big victory? Are they still planning to acquire the Magic City market? When the second-tier cities are opened, it will still be like this. The situation is that of the twenty or so second-tier cities, we can absolutely control at least ten, and the other five or six are evenly matched and have the upper hand, and the last four or five will be given to them. Reflected to investors, our valuation is at least Ten times theirs. Let alone ten times. When the gap of three to five times begins to form, they actually have only one last fate left, which is to be acquired. Sir, think about how Kuaidi and Didi competed Market? You give me a subsidy of three yuan, I give you four yuan, and you give me a starting price, and I give you one yuan more than the starting price. In the first few months when these two companies were fighting, each month was measured in billions. We are burning money, and we are not giving up any ground in every local market. The result? Several other companies are dying, and Kuaidi and Didi announced their merger, becoming the only overlord of online ride-hailing, with an almost monopoly."

Shi Lei frowned and said, "Aren't other companies defeated by the subsidy strategies of these two companies? Ahri and Penguin are both too rich."

"Ahri and Penguin will not use their own cash to burn, they will use venture capital money. Why can they raise large amounts of venture capital, but other companies cannot? Does Mr. Think it's because of this?" What’s the reason for the large scale behind the two companies? In fact, this way of burning money requires the determination and courage to risk death and survive. Kuaidi and Didi only cooperated with Ahri and Penguin at the beginning. , after burning the investment from these two companies, they started to raise funds externally. This is how capital is, the more you dare to burn, the more they dare to invest money in you. What they are afraid of is that you will not burn if you dare not burn. No capital will be afraid of you burning. Money is moving too fast. Look at LeTV. When they run out of money and food, don’t people give them lots of dollars?”

Shi Lei said in his heart that I really had to digest this for a while. He lowered his head and thought silently.

"Sir, I wish you immediate success with this glass of wine." Yao Er raised the glass in his hand and drank it silently before Shi Lei could lift it.

After Shi Lei finished drinking, he felt that it was almost done, so he said: "Ask the waiter to pay the bill."

Yao Er was stunned for a moment, then said: "Sir, are you going to pay the bill today?"

Shi Lei nodded and said, "Of course I want to buy it."

Yao Er was moved to tears: "Sir, you are finally willing to pay the bill!"
