Chapter 560 I Advise You to Be More Sensible
Chapter 552 I advise you to be sensible
The Bund night view in the Magic City has its own uniqueness.
Bao Fan, who has dark skin, sat in his Maybach and looked out the window.
With his alcohol tolerance, he did not drink too much today.
He was even rushing to the second drinking party.
Wang Xin would be there later, as well as his deputy from Huaxing Capital, and Wang Zeng from Red Mountain Capital.
Not to mention, among these people, Bao Fan is bald, Wang Zeng is also bald, and Wang Xin is almost bald.
A group of bald bosses gathered together, and the scene was also beautiful.
After taking a sip of the mineral water in the car, Bao Fan sent a WeChat message to Wang Xin: "I'll be there soon."
He felt that he had talked enough with Cheng Zhu today.
Next, it depends on his own choice.
"It's just that I originally only wanted to use the card of [treating] today."
"I didn't expect that while we were chatting, I couldn't hold back and used all three cards."
He believed that the other party understood all his explicit and implicit hints, coercion and inducement.
If this young man was not a man with a clear mind, he would not have been able to see through all the "dirty tricks" of Wang Xin and himself.
Thinking of this, Bao Fan also felt a bit of a headache.
He is an extremely good person in coordinating the overall situation, otherwise he would not be able to bear the reputation of the king of mergers and acquisitions.
He rarely encounters such a situation, a person who he completely ignores in the overall situation, but makes a great feat with a little effort.
Maybach arrived at a private club, and Bao Fan walked into a large box.
This box is divided into many floors. In addition to the place for singing and drinking, there are also separate billiard rooms, tea rooms, card tables, etc.
If you need a private environment to talk about business, you can go to these places.
In the box, there are a total of six men and four women.
The girls were all very pretty, but they were not professional hostesses. They were young girls who also worked in the financial industry.
The temperament of these girls was very different from that of hostesses, and they were safer, more reliable, and relatively clean.
As we all know, being pretty or handsome is still useful in the financial industry.
As soon as Bao Fan walked in, Wang Xin, the host, stood up to greet him.
After greeting the acquaintances present, he also sat down and had a few drinks with everyone.
Then, Bao Lao Da stood up and waved to Wang Xin: "Come, play a game with me."
The two walked into the billiard room together.
The two chatted while playing billiards.
"It must be easy for the boss to get it done, right?" Wang Xin said.
"He didn't give me an answer at the dinner table, but I've said everything I should say." Bao Fan was quite good at playing billiards and had scored three goals in a row.
Wang Xin stood aside with a pole and nodded slightly: "In fact, for him, I can't think of any reason for him to be reluctant."
"With his current situation, he is lucky to be able to invest in a company like Hungry. He met a top-notch person like Zhang Xuhao."
"If all three companies are merged in the end, give him a chance to participate in the next round of financing, and give him a small share, he will be a shareholder of a unicorn company."
Anyway, Wang Xin can't resist this temptation at Cheng Zhu's age. He will even be so excited that he can't sleep all night and have endless beautiful fantasies about the future.
This admission ticket is many times better than the one Zhang Xuhao gave him!
You know, even for venture capital institutions, only the first-class ones are qualified to enter, such as Red Mountain Capital.
Bao Fan nodded slightly when he heard this.
But he recalled it carefully, and always felt that something was wrong, so that he was a little distracted when playing, and didn't score the goal.
After the two of them chatted for a few more words, they went out and sat down to drink.
Shang Qi, a partner of Shanghai Tianyun Capital, was sitting in a relatively corner. He had just been drinking with Wang Zeng of Hongshan Capital.
At this moment, he came over to toast Bao Fan.
In Shanghai, there are many people engaged in finance.
But the higher up a circle is, the fewer people there are, and the smaller the circle is.
In Shanghai's financial circle, Shang Qi must be considered a top figure, but compared with Bao Fan, he is still not good enough.
Boss Bao looked at Shang Qi and suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, you invested in [Paipai], right?" He thought of this short video platform.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Shang Qi asked.
"Nothing, just a young man who had dinner with me just now, is also tinkering with short videos, and it will be online in a while." Bao Fan smiled.
"Young man?" Shang Qi was slightly stunned, and then tentatively asked: "Cheng Zhu?"
"Hey, Wang Xin told you that I had dinner with him, right?" Bao Fan turned his head and looked at Lao Wang.
Wang Xin waved his hand quickly, how could he say this to the outside world.
"It's really him?" A hint of surprise flashed in Shang Qi's eyes: "I just guessed."
After that, he explained: "You said it was a young man, and the platform will be online in a while, so I thought of him."
As the top investor of [PaiPai], Shang Qi's Tianyun Capital has naturally been paying close attention to the short video industry.
He knew that Cheng Zhu was already warming up.
What's more, Zhang Sixing, who has been cheated on by him for so many years, works in Cheng Zhu's company.
This will also make him pay more attention to this company.
He brought Wen Ting to the small party today, and he was playing dice with others there.
At this moment, Shang Qi couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard that Bao Fan mentioned Cheng Zhu, and even had dinner and drinks with Cheng Zhu in the evening. He didn't arrive here until after nine o'clock!
"He shouldn't want to vote for this short video project!"
As soon as this thought came up, Shang Qi's heart was in suspense and he panicked instantly!
In 2015, although many people with unique vision have begun to enter the short video field, short video platforms are not that popular in the capital market.
A number of first-class venture capital institutions are not very optimistic about companies that engage in short video.
It is precisely for this reason that many years later, the boss of Red Mountain Capital frequently stated that it was one of the biggest mistakes in his life to look at Douyin and Zhang Yiming.
However, Shang Qi is personally quite optimistic about the short video industry.
He never thought that one day the short video platform would dominate the major social platforms. He simply thought it was promising.
Moreover, this track is not very crowded for the time being, and the competition is not as fierce as popular tracks.
At the beginning, he learned through Wen Ting that the upstart in the capital circle, Cheng Zhu, was going to start a short video. Her ex-husband worked for him, and Shang Qi was not afraid at all.
There's a guy who sells underwear, and a guy who works on computers. What are you afraid of?
Social platforms are a game of capital.
What's more, the [Paipai] I invested in is already gaining momentum!
However, if Bao Fan is optimistic about him, that is another matter.
Bao Fan's personal abilities are too strong and his energy is too great!
He alone has influenced half of today's Internet unicorn companies. For such a person, the projects he participates in will receive unlimited help.
If nothing else, even if something happens, Bao Fan has the ability to help you sort it out!
Well, not limited to the business world!
Anyone outside the business world can do the same!
Therefore, Shang Qi feels overwhelmed just thinking about it now.
"Is this kid so lucky that he can be valued by Boss Bao?"
It is true that you, Cheng Zhu, are unique among those born in 1995, and your career is doing well now.
But this is Bao Fan!
At your current level, it stands to reason that you are not qualified to be in his eyes!
After Shang Qi hesitated for a while, he asked, "Does Cheng Zhu want you to invest in this project?"
"Nothing!" Bao Fan could tell what Shang Qi was thinking at a glance, and smiled and patted his shoulder.
This bald man from Shanghai seems to like to pat people on the shoulder, or put his hand on the other person's shoulder, and then turn his head to look into other people's eyes and talk.
Hearing this, Shang Qi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the hanging boulder finally fell to the ground.
Unexpectedly, Bao Fan changed the subject in the next second.
"But if you put it this way, it's not impossible. It's still possible to do it in a small way."
He took back the hand on the other person's shoulder, then picked up the wine glass on the table and gently shook the ice ball in the glass.
This bald man from the capital city is focusing on O2O at the moment. For short videos, this Internet tycoon is not very interested at the moment.
But this has always been the case in the investment circle. Some people invest in projects, while others invest in people.
He felt that Cheng Zhu was pretty good and he could invest a little in him. It wouldn't be a big problem!
This made Shang Qi's hanging heart immediately fall to the bottom.
He didn't think there was any young man in the world who would be willing to refuse support from Bao Fan!
When Shang Qi sat back to his original position, Wen Ting at the side immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
She and Shang Qi have been PYs for so many years and are very familiar with each other.
Others may not be able to see anything, but her smelly beaker can tell at a glance that Shang Qi has something on his mind at the moment.
"Bao Fan seems to have some respect for Cheng Zhu." Shang Qi whispered.
"Ah?" Wen Ting was immediately shocked.
In the eyes of a financial woman of her level, Bao Fanna is a god-like existence and one of the pinnacles of the industry!
"Is my cowardly ex-husband's young boss so popular?" Wen Ting was stunned.
With an artistic, intellectual and gentle temperament, she quickly understood why Shang Qi looked worried.
"If Bao Fan really helps, then if my ex-husband's project really starts to take off, he will be able to become famous together!" Wen Ting's heart tightened.
From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want him to have a good life.
After a while, Shang Qi patted the back of her hand gently and said: "It's still a matter of not saying anything about the eight characters for the time being. Let's talk about it later. Just pay more attention to it next. I'll have some more drinks with Lao Xu, just him." It’s up to you to have a small amount of alcohol.”
"OK."
On the other end of the sofa, Wang Xin had just been listening to the conversation between Bao Fan and Shang Qi, feeling emotional about Cheng Zhu's good luck again.
“When I was studying to start a business, there was no support from people of this level.”
"If someone had helped me with my Internet project at that time, I would definitely not have sold it. I think it would have gone smoothly, which makes me a bit jealous." Wang Xin lamented.
Since all his plans had been seen through by the other party, and he had failed to draw cakes to Cheng Zhu before, he had a bad impression of this kid.
But if everyone ends up in the same boat, it doesn't matter. After all, he has demonstrated his value and ability.
"I hope you can understand what it means to be a hero who knows the current affairs." Lao Wang thought in his heart.
On the other hand, when Cheng Zhu returned to Hangzhou, the night was already deep.
He asked the driver Xiao Wang to take him directly back to Xinhang Apartment.
After entering the house, he put the suitcase aside, and was too lazy to pack it that night. He went straight into the bathroom of the master bedroom and started to wash up.
After washing up, he lay on the bed and had a video call with his girlfriend for more than ten minutes.
He was still a little tired after returning from a business trip.
But looking at the girl who was still full of energy in the video late at night, Cheng Zhu felt that his fatigue had dissipated a little.
"Did the chat go smoothly tonight?" Xiaolu asked.
"The chat was okay, but Bao Fan would definitely be disappointed."
"Why?"
"He wanted to recruit me as a younger brother, but how can a real man be depressed and live under someone else for a long time!" Cheng Zhu said in the tone of Lu Bu in the Three Kingdoms.
"What a mess, how did it suddenly become someone's younger brother." Lin Lu was puzzled.
"Alas, but the conditions he offered today are actually quite tempting." Cheng Zhu sighed.
"It's up to you to choose. It's not bad to make money." She thought Cheng Zhu was still struggling, so she said so.
"Haha, forget it, the fortune teller said that I can't be a man's younger brother, I can only eat women's soft rice." Cheng Zhu started to make up nonsense again.
And the inner line of this bastard is: eat women's soft rice.
"That's it, you are much richer than me, I can't protect you, worry, worry, worry!"
"Really, then I'll eat someone else."
"Tsk, if you have the ability, go!"
Cheng Zhu, who had eaten too much during the trip to the Magic City, immediately said: "Don't dare, don't dare."
The two chatted for more than ten minutes. After the video call ended, Cheng Zhu typed in the three-person group of him, Zhang Tao and Zhang Xuhao: "I'm in Hangzhou."
After that meal, the three of them created a group.
Zhang Xuhao also changed the group name to [干死米团].
Zhang Tao was more mature and prudent. He thought that this group name looked really good, but it was really inappropriate, so he asked him to change it.
As a result, he had a flash of inspiration and really thought of a good name - [Youdianxian].
pomelo tea, comment, are you hungry, each with one character. And it can also be homophonic with a little hungry.
As for what to eat when hungry?
Of course, eat the market share of Mi Tuan!
Hot-blooded Brother: Fuck Mi Tuan!
Before Cheng Zhu spoke, this group was quite cold. The two of them did not chat in the group, but they chatted privately all night.
Bao Fan invited Cheng Zhu to dinner, and they still felt a little uneasy.
However, they hoped that Cheng Zhu could get some useful information.
Little did they know that this dog man had no intention of telling them any information at all.
In his opinion, now it has entered a delicate balance.
Wang Xin was waiting for Zhang Tao to sit down and talk, and then use the killer of [Fifty-Fifty].
But Zhang Tao will definitely resist sitting down to talk for the time being, and will insist on breaking one of Mi Tuan's legs first, and then we can talk when you are lame.
This makes Wang Xin unable to play his trump card.
You can't just say that the other party is unwilling to sit down and talk, and you tell him [50-50] directly?
Then when he sits down, he dares to tell you [40-60]!
However, if Lao Wang tells Brother Tao [60-40] now, Brother Tao will definitely not be moved.
What's more, there is a hot-blooded brother Hao next to him who is eager to be the vanguard and wants to charge into battle regardless of anything. You can't chill his heart, right?
At this moment, Cheng Zhuyi popped up, and the group immediately became hot.
"You didn't drink too much tonight, did you?" Zhang Xuhao, who has the worst alcohol tolerance, showed concern first.
Zhang Tao, who had the best alcohol tolerance, said: "That's true, Bao Fan can really drink. I've never seen anyone who can drink more than him!"
And Bao Fan is a man who speaks openly and drinks very quickly. He often gets things done at the dinner table.
"No, no, he can't drink as much as you two!" Cheng Zhu first complained about them harshly.
Zhang Xuhao was instantly angry: "I drink you? You have the nerve to say I drink you?"
He still remembers that when he was about to get drunk, Cheng Zhu mocked him: "Can you still drink? If not, go home."
Cheng Zhu replied with an emoticon of a smiling dog.
After chatting in the group for a few sentences, everyone started to get to the point.
This guy said right at the beginning: "Boss Bao admires me very much."
This Boss Bao made both of them panic.
Fuck, he was recruited just like that?
"He also expressed his opinion on behalf of Wang Xin, saying that I can also participate in the next round of financing after the merger."
Zhang Tao, Zhang Xuhao: "."
"Then I want to create a short video platform, Bao Boss has made it clear to me that he can help me."
"How did he make it clear?" Zhang Xuhao was stunned.
"After chatting about short videos, we clinked glasses. I raised the rim of my glass lower than his. He held my glass with his other hand and said to me, "Hey, I'll hold it for you."
Zhang Tao, Zhang Xuhao: "."
Damn, it can't be said that he is self-indulgent.
Cheng Zhu described what happened at the dinner table in the group vividly, and even used some exaggerated words later.
This is the effect he wants.
The more the other party values him, the more he can prove that his idea is right and correct!
Mi Tuan just wants to switch to Penguin, and Mi Tuan doesn't have much money in his account!
This is actually a bit "cowardly".
All I can say is that Boss Bao was too confident. He was so confident that as soon as he extended an olive branch, Cheng Zhu would definitely accept it.
In fact, at the level of Bao Lao Da, he is indeed qualified to be proud.
People like Cheng Zhu are considered to be extremely irrational in the eyes of most people!
People have already built a ladder for you, but you insist on having a bright future and earning it by myself?
Isn't this just asking for trouble, just for excitement, right?
"Then what do you think?" The passionate Hao brother immediately asked.
Cheng Zhu smiled, picked up the phone and started to operate.
He didn't type in the group, but it was more reassuring than typing.
He changed the group name to the group name that Zhang Xuhao set at the beginning.
——[Go to hell with Mi Tuan]!
