Chapter 211: Finally took this step!
When Ye Yufei and her relatives came back, Fang Lizheng had a great chat with Ye’s mother, and the scene was once very harmonious.
While Ye’s mother was cooking, Ye Yufei asked in a low voice: “What’s the situation?”
"As you can see, get it done." Fang Li blinked at her with smugness.
"Virtue."
During dinner, Ye's mother introduced a group of relatives to Fang Li, and kept picking up food for him, completely as if the mother-in-law was more pleasing to her son-in-law the more she looked at her son-in-law.
Dad Ye fought with Fang Li for wine. Unfortunately, his alcohol tolerance was still a bit worse than that of Fang Li, who had been through the battlefield. If it weren't for Mother Ye's stopping him, he would have fallen on the spot.
After dinner, Ye's father suddenly asked Fang Li to go downstairs with him.
Along the way, Dad Ye didn't say anything, walked to the edge of a bumpy road before pointing ahead.
"This road is the way Feifei went to school when she was a child. It took half an hour to walk from home to school. At that time, the children all went to school by themselves. Only I rode a bicycle to pick up Feifei to school every day. After school, it was cold and summer, and it never stopped for a day."
Although Ye’s father said it very implicitly, Fang Li probably understood what he wanted to say. Compared to being rich and noble, he hoped that his daughter could meet a man who treated her consistently. In his opinion, Fang Li’s class faced too many temptations, which was not a choice worthy of her daughter’s lifelong entrusting.
Fang Li smiled and said, "Uncle, the future is too far away and there are too many uncertainties. No matter what promise I make, it will be pale and powerless in the face of time. But I believe that over time, you will see my sincerity."
Dad Ye stared at Fang Li seriously for a while before sighing: "It's getting dark, go back."
When he returned to the Ye family, his relatives left, and Simin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Fang Li couldn't drive after drinking, but the Ye family only had two rooms.
Originally, Fang Li was about to sleep on the sofa, but Ye’s father said that he would let Ye Yufei sleep with his mother Ye and he would sleep with Fang Li.
......
After a while, Fang Li came out to wash with a pair of panda eyes. Mother Ye asked with concern: "Did Xiao Fang not sleep well last night?"
"Oh, I'm a little bit recognizing the bed." Fang Li smiled bitterly.
This time, Ye Yufei finally regained her freedom. After breakfast, she got into Fang Li's car. Seeing him yawning, she joked: "My boss Fang, you are too spoiled, right? You won't be able to sleep for a while if you recognize the bed?"
Fang Li said angrily: "I don't recognize the bed. Your dad's snoring is like an earthquake and a thunderstorm. I haven't had a good sleep all night."
"Puff~~~" Ye Yufei laughed gloomy and said, "I laughed out loud."
"Don't say that to my dad."
"..." Is this a little cotton-padded jacket? Fang Li suddenly thought that it would be good to have a daughter in the future, but then he thought again, he still had to watch her get married when he grew up. How upset is it?
Seeing Fang Li absentminded, Ye Yufei suggested: "You can find a hotel nearby to take a rest."
"Okay." Fang Li was naturally happy with this proposal.
"Stop making trouble, sleep well, I have class in the afternoon." In the hotel room, Ye Yufei knocked off Fang Li's hand and said coquettishly.
Fang Li glanced at the time: "It's still time."
"ah......"
......
On the afternoon of December 4, 2013, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology officially issued TD-LTE licenses to the three operators, China Unicom and Telecom, which is commonly known as the 4G license, which also indicates that China is about to enter the 4G era.
It was also on this day that Sun Huanan came to Wuhan City and prepared to make his last try.
Liu Yuan was reporting today's itinerary to Fang Li. At the end, Liu Yuan said: "Mr. Fang, there is a man named Sun Huanan who wants to meet you. He said he is the founder of Bumblebee Taxi."
Fang Li stopped his signature hand. At this time, the online car-hailing market was gradually becoming clear. Didi's Cheng Wei has accepted Penguin's investment and occupied 59.4% of the taxi market share. The fast-hailing cities have also reached 40 cities. The two sides will start a famous online car-hailing subsidy war in January next year, next month.
In fact, Cheng Wei had already founded Didi as early as 2012. At that time, Fang Li was hesitating whether to invest in Didi. Later, he gave up. The main reason was that he did not have enough cash flow support at that time, and it was really unwise to be involved in a money-burning war that would inevitably occur.
Although his hands gradually became more abundant, Didi and Kuaidi's net worth soared, and he had missed the best opportunity to enter. Coupled with the obstruction of Penguin and Alibaba, Fang Li was a long audience in this online car-hailing war.
However, when he suddenly heard Liu Yuan mention Bumblebee Taxi, Fang Li remembered that this taxi-hailing software was once the third largest in the online taxi-hailing market. In fact, it was not that Bumblebee Taxi was not doing well enough, but that the financing channels were not accessible, and he was eventually defeated by Didi by burning money.
Fang Li thought for a while: "Let him go to the conference room."
"Yes." Liu Yuan turned around and retreated.
After Sun Huanan was taken to the conference room, he was a little restless and waited for almost a quarter of an hour before he saw the door of the conference room being pushed open. However, what he didn't expect was that it was not an executive from Yifu who met him, but Fang Li himself.
"Hello, Mr. Fang." Sun Huanan's heart, which was originally sinking to the bottom of the valley, was suddenly pulled up again.
Fang Li shook hands with him, but without any politeness, and went straight to the point: "Mr. Sun, tell me bluntly that I have not established an investment company yet. How did you think of coming to me to attract investment?"
Sun Huanan said frankly: "Now Bat is expanding its investment territory crazy. I believe that President Israel is not willing to just do third-party payment and instant messaging. Of course, I am not sure, I just gamble."
Fang Li nodded. This person is quite honest. Investment is not just about projects, but more importantly, people. He doesn't like entrepreneurs who paint big pie when they open their mouths, although these people have a higher chance of success than many technical entrepreneurs.
"Can you introduce the current situation of Bumblebee taxi?" Fang Li asked.
"certainly."
Sun Huanan said all the data about Bumblebee Taxi. It was obviously not the kind of entrepreneur who sat in the office all day to give commanders. He then concluded: "The current main audience of Bumblebee Taxi is taxi drivers. In the Magic City, our market share is far greater than Didi and Kuaidi, but our funds are limited, and in other cities, our promotion is very difficult."
Fang Li nodded: "I probably understand the situation."
"I just heard your tone that seemed very dissatisfied with Didi and Kuaishou. I felt that they were relying on their financial advantages to reach their current scale?" Fang Li changed his mind.
Sun Huanan opened her mouth and finally nodded to admit it.
Fang Li said seriously: "In my opinion, financing is also a criterion for measuring entrepreneurial capabilities, and an important criterion. Now there are so many Internet startups of all sizes. Why do you make investors believe that you will succeed?"
"This..." Sun Huanan was speechless for a moment.
"Okay, you will learn more about contacting investors in the future. If you go back and prepare, I will send someone to evaluate the value of Bumblebee taxi." Fang Li patted his shoulder and said.
Sun Huanan was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Fang, what do you mean is, have you agreed to invest in us?"
"What about that?"
After Fang Li left, Sun Huanan jumped up directly in the conference room and said excitedly: "yes, the hornet is finally saved!"
......
After Fang Li returned to the office, he called Liu Yuan to the office: "Sister Liu Yuan, I remember you were a venture capitalist before, right?"
Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Fang Li suddenly asked about this.
Fang Li put down the documents in his hand: "I just decided to invest in Bumblebee taxi. Now I need someone to do due diligence and evaluation of Bumblebee. I'll ask you to lead a team to go there."
"Me?" Liu Yuan almost thought he had heard it wrong.
Fang Li smiled and said, "What? I feel that I am not capable enough, or are I afraid that others will say that you are getting ahead by relationships?"
Liu Yuan did not answer, but his eyes gradually ignited his fighting spirit. She licked her face and came to be an assistant for Fang Li, not just to be an assistant.
"I'll go to the Demon City now."
Soon, a news came out of the circle that a venture capital institution called Tianyuan Investment was established with a registered capital of 200 million yuan. Compared with many financial institutions that can often dispatch billions of US dollars, this newly established venture capital institution can be said to be inconspicuous.
However, this incident caused a stir in the Internet and venture capital circles because the boss of Tianyuan Investment is called Fang Li.
Although Fang Li had made several investments before, they were all made in his personal name. Tianyuan Technology Group's previous business scope was also very restrained and did not attack everywhere like Alibaba and Penguin. Even Baidu, which has always been conservative, has more investment areas than Tianyuan Technology Group.
Originally, everyone thought that Fang Li would focus on the mobile payment field and instant messaging field. However, the establishment of Tianyuan Investment indicates that Fang Li has accumulated enough strength to start making a difference in the capital market.
No wonder the Internet circle is so nervous with the venture capital circle. There is Alibaba before, Penguin behind, Baidu behind, and now Tianyuan Technology is entering the market. It can be foreseen that the competition in the future will become more and more intense, and the entire market structure will also undergo huge changes.
Alima was standing outside the window and stood for a long time when he heard this news in New York. In the end, he could only sigh: "He finally took this step!"
The same is true for Mahua Teng. For him, Fang Li is a complete disruptor. His appearance has messed up Penguin's layout in the field of instant messaging, and it has caused him a headache in the field of payment. Now Fang Li is entering the investment field again. Is it because of him this time?
