Chapter 814: Relatives Start to Ask for Money

What surprised Shi Lei was that when he went downstairs, he actually saw Hu Xiaohua driving a car and waiting for him downstairs.

Of course, the relatives didn't know Hu Xiaohua, but when they saw Hu Xiaohua's car worth more than one million yuan, they naturally knew his identity.

After waving goodbye to Shi Lei, the relatives left in a hurry. Shi Lei opened the door and got into the car.

Hu Xiaohua now knew why Shi Lei was acting so strange on the phone. He smiled at Shi Lei and said, "We've become prosperous, so all our relatives are coming to visit us and want to catch the autumn wind?"

Shi Lei shook his head and said, "I didn't mention anything, but I'm embarrassed. I'm sitting among a few elders and don't know what to talk to them about. I can only trouble you."

Hu Xiaohua said: "You are also developing too fast. When you came back a year ago, you were not short of money at most. Now, in less than a year, you have earned at least more than a billion It’s a shame if the relatives don’t have any ideas.”

"There is no wealth worth more than one billion. Now it is just a valuation. Who knows what will happen tomorrow?"

"Pretend! Keep pretending!" Hu Xiaohua rolled his eyes wildly and asked again while driving: "Where are we going?"

"Just find a place to sit for a while. I must have dinner with my parents tonight. I will harass you again tomorrow."

Hu Xiaohua nodded, this is human nature, of course he can understand.

We still went to the teahouse by the river, or even the same private room that day. The two of them sat down and drank this autumn's new tea.

"Those relatives of yours will definitely still have to look for you. Now that your status is different, they don't dare to speak easily. But they will definitely not give up."

Hu Xiaohua took a sip of tea, put down the cup and said, "You have to explain this to your parents. Don't refuse without shame, otherwise you will be in trouble."

Shi Lei smiled and said: "If the request is not too much, I will definitely help if I can. If you just want to eat and drink for free, that is definitely impossible."

"The question is, what does it mean to be a helper? If they ask you to arrange jobs for your children, that is, your cousins, since you are such a big company, raising a few idle people is not a natural thing in the eyes of others?"

Shi Lei scratched his head and thought that this was really a problem.

"I have a suggestion, do you want to hear it? If it's done well, it can solve all the problems here in one package."

Shi Lei's eyes lit up and he said, "Tell me and listen."

Hu Xiaohua, on the other hand, played off his words. He crossed his legs and said with a smile: "It's not enough to just talk about it in vain. Brother, this is not a vain plan."

Shi Lei shook his head and said: "Brother Xiaohua, don't be like this. Tomorrow I will set up a big table in the best place in Runzhou and order seven for you each so that you can be like Wei Xiaobao."

Hu Xiaohua rolled his eyes and said, "Why are you fooling me into thinking you are Yuan Chao? If I want to be Wei Xiaobao, do you still need to make arrangements for me?"

"Then what do you want?"

"I want a spot in the C round of Qixuan. No matter who leads the investment, you have to let me in."

Shi Lei thought about it and found that Qixuan's Series B was already worth 2.6 billion. If the Series C was not fully guaranteed, the valuation would be four times closer to 10 billion. A conservative estimate would be three times more than 7 billion.

He then said: "Are you sure? Qi Xuan of the C round is heading straight for a valuation of tens of billions."

"I have already prepared 100 million. The old man personally allocated it to me, and it depends on when I can catch up with you. Even if your C round is slightly ahead, there should be no problem on my side."

Shi Lei smiled and said, "Are you so optimistic about our Qixuan?"

"Actually, I hope you can have a B+ round, so that I can either save some money, or I can get more shares."

Shi Lei nodded and said: "Okay, no matter it is round B+ or round C, I will definitely reserve you a share of the next financing. But if you take the shares, Brother Yuanchao..."

Hu Xiaohua waved his hand and said: "Brothers are still settling accounts. If you can arrange for him to come over then, just take him in the car. If you can't arrange for him to come over, forget it. But Yuan Chao's family may not be able to come up with so much cash, don't look at us The size of the family is not bad, but in fact, the cash flow is limited. If the old man had not planned to transform, I feel that real estate would have become increasingly difficult in the next few years. The best period of growth has passed, and I would have to invest. It’s hard to give me 100 million directly.”

Shi Lei nodded again and said: "Then you should hide this matter from Brother Yuan Chao for the time being. It's not that I don't want to play with the brothers. I don't have much involvement in the company. If you leave it to others, you have to have a relationship." It’s like taking action. If you really can’t do this, I’ll pass it on to you myself.”

Hu Xiaohua then smiled with satisfaction and said, "Then I will tell you how to solve all the problems of relatives at home."

Shi Lei sat up straight and listened attentively.

Hu Xiaohua took a sip of water, moistened his throat like a storyteller, coughed dryly, and then said: "Actually, my dad also encountered such a situation back then. At that time, my old man started a business with his bare hands, relying on the bats he poured from Yangcheng. With the 100,000 yuan I earned from wearing jeans, I got an approval document from the government. Before I could get it, I used the approval document to get a loan of 1.5 million yuan from the bank, and gave them 100,000 yuan on the spot. I spent a lot of money and built my first house in my life.”

Shi Lei rolled his eyes and felt that Hu Xiaohua had gone too far and started talking about his father's entrepreneurial history.

Hu Xiaohua continued: "The old man was very lucky. The house was half built. He was about to run out of money. He was thinking about how to get a loan. When he met a public institution to raise funds to build a dormitory, he tried every means to get the order and received it. With an advance payment, I finally finished building the house and then sold it to the public institution. It was the first pot of gold in my life. Of course, it was nothing now, but back then, I was a millionaire. , very scary.”

Shi Lei still rolled his eyes. If he keeps talking like this, it won't be next year's Spring Festival when it comes to business?

Seeing his dissatisfaction, Hu Xiaohua smiled and sped up the process: "Then he used the relationship he made with that public institution to get him a government renovation project. After a year of hard work, his net worth has exceeded five million. , and the contractors who followed him were already worth hundreds of thousands. It was at that time that relatives at home began to visit frequently. At first, like your relatives, they were embarrassed to speak, but as time went by and the frequency increased, they stopped. I said all the things I had the nerve to say, and even said that for a construction company as big as yours, why don't you use a foreman? You can rest assured that you can use your own relatives. However, those relatives don't understand budgets and don't know how to do it. They don’t understand engineering and don’t know anything about building materials. How could they be allowed to join the company? Finally, what do you think my dad will do?”

Shi Lei knew that these words were finally going to get serious, so he hurriedly asked: "How did Uncle Hu solve the problem?"

"He just put down a sentence and said that he would soon set up a decoration company, and asked all my relatives to learn decoration as soon as possible. When the company is established, he will personally assess it. Those who can pass will be retained by the company, and those who fail will only be retained. I can say I'm sorry. At first, most of my relatives didn't take it seriously and thought my dad was too unfeeling. But one of my cousins ​​listened and actually learned how to lay ceramic tiles. Then my dad's decoration company only hired people. I gave him five points of shares in addition to his normal salary.”

Shi Lei was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood the meaning of Hu Xiaohua's words.
