Luo Xiyun was still talking about the decoration of the new house in Xia Zekai's ears until he went to bed.

The house they live in now is a second-hand house. They got married not long after buying it, and it has never been renovated seriously, which has become a regret for Luo Xiyun.

"Zekai, let me tell you, you should keep an eye on the decoration while I'm free. I'll supervise the work when I'm free. The new house must be decorated according to my ideas." Luo Xiyun is quite strong.

Xia Zekai nodded: "Okay, I will follow your ideas and listen to you."

He doesn't have too strict requirements for decoration, as long as it looks pleasing to the eye.

Come to think of it, if you hire a decoration company to design it, it won't be too bad no matter how you look at it.

"Xiong Yang, if you have something in mind, just say it. Don't worry, if you are not satisfied with this or that after the decoration is completed, then you can complain that the decoration was done according to my wishes..." Luo Xiyun

Seeing that her husband's attitude was too perfunctory, she started nagging again.

Xia Zekai looked at the mouth so close that he could smell the fresh mint toothpaste in his wife's mouth.

Thinking about you is really annoying. The next moment, when Luo Xiyun wasn't paying attention, he opened his big mouth and covered it.

Luo Xiyun was immediately left with a 'woo-woo' sound, and then only a hum, which became smaller and smaller and lighter.

Occasionally, I heard Luo Xiyun whisper: "You are crazy, please be gentle!"

This night, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and I was a little shy to come out to see people.

…

In the next few days, when Luo Xiyun was not busy at work, he began to use his office computer to search for content related to decoration on the Internet.

She memorized the phone numbers of several decoration companies, but when she called them, she found that they either couldn't get through to them or they had already changed careers. This made her very distressed. Is the survival rate of decoration companies so low?

Fortunately, she finally found a decoration company with its headquarters in Jicheng and opened a branch here in Qicheng called 'Tengda Decoration'.

Luo Xiyun also called Tenda Decoration and asked about the design and construction costs of the decoration, as well as the decoration time.

Decoration does not mean that you can do it as quickly as you want. For example, if you level the cement floor and lay the floor tiles, you must first wait for the cement on the ground to be completely dry before you can lay the floor tiles. It is also necessary for the cement floor to be completely dry.

Time.

When Luo Xiyun was preoccupied with the delivery and decoration of the new house and had no intention of going to work, Xia Zekai called Zhang Xu again and told him that he needed his help in obtaining the construction qualifications for several new factories.

Specifically, Xia Zekai directly asked Lu Huan to connect with him.

…

While traveling between Xia Zekai's home and the factory, Zhang Yiming looked at the office area in front of him, which was only over 100 square meters, in an old-fashioned office building in the capital. He was very worried.

After Fanfou.com was shut down for some reasons, Zhang Yiming and Wang Xing finally parted ways. Wang Xing went to work on his Meituan business, while Zhang Yiming insisted on his own ideas and got into the real estate platform.

Construction and design are up.

In this way, in the first ten days of this month, a real estate vertical search application platform called "Jiujiufang" came into being.

It is said that starting a business is easy but developing is difficult!

Like other startups, Zhang Yiming encountered a very real problem.

He was almost out of money, and he watched as the number on the company's financial account changed from 6 digits to 5 digits, and then continued to be consumed, maybe one day it would be gone.

For a company, tens of thousands of dollars is not enough!

Xi Fengjuan, who is in charge of Jiujiufang's finances, came to see Zhang Yiming. She once again mentioned the money issue: "Mr. Zhang, we are almost out of money, and next month's salary has not been paid."

"I know, Manager Xi, you've told me this three times, can you please let me slow down a little and give me some time?" Zhang Yiming felt like his head was exploding.

The Fanfou.com business failed. All the money he had saved before Fanfou.com was invested, and there was basically no output. This meant that when he stood up again to start a business called "Jiujiufang", he did not have any remaining money.

Not much, but he still relied on his tenacity to build the platform of 'Nine-Nine Rooms'.

The most important thing now is to find money, but where to find money?

It has been less than a month since its establishment. If venture capital is introduced at this time, the original shares of Jiujiufang will be sold at a low price, and he will ultimately suffer the loss.

"Borrow some from Brother Wang?" Zhang Yiming was indecisive, and he wasn't sure what to do.

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Yiming still called Wang Xing. As soon as he started talking about borrowing money, Wang Xing complained directly to him: "Yiming, it's not that I don't want to lend you money, it's really...

Meituan is now a gold-swallowing beast. I have thrown all the money I have into it and I can’t even see the waves.”

"There are still a lot of discounts to be done in the future. Meituan is going to start to open markets all over the country. I'm really afraid that I won't be able to bear it. Otherwise, you can borrow it from others." Wang Xing said.

He said: "Sina should have money, otherwise why don't you ask Director Cao?"

Zhang Yiming gritted his teeth, said a word of thanks, and finally hung up the phone.

Sina is notoriously conservative in terms of investment, not to mention that his project is still in its early stages, so Sina will not pay attention to him.

Even if he paid attention to him, he couldn't give him a high price. Zhang Yiming would rather continue to save a province now, live frugally and see who he can find to help him.

After much thought, he had no idea for a while.

He took his cell phone and opened his address book, scrolling down from the first one, and then saw a familiar name.

Wang Qiong of SIG is also Wang Qiong, the Chinese strategic investment partner of Haina Asia.

Wang Qiong had known Zhang Yiming since he was working for his last company. The relationship between the two was average, and Wang Qiong was a typical investor who would never do anything if he didn't see the benefits.

Zhang Yiming thought for a moment, ignored her, and continued to scroll down the address book.

While he was flipping through the pages quickly, he accidentally saw a name. He flipped up the page number two more pages. Looking at the name 'Xia Zekai', he hesitated.

He met Xia Zekai at the last press conference on Sina Weibo. He always thought that Xia Zekai was a big shot in some circle. He even later learned that Xia Zekai was a big boss in the industry in Jidong Province. He became even more convinced that Xia Zekai had something.

Money facts.

At this moment, he was desperate. When he saw Xia Zekai's name, Zhang Yiming's eyes flickered. He was considering whether to call Xia Zekai, ask him to borrow some money, or simply get him to buy shares.

If Jiujiu Fang has a stable financial backer in the future, it will be much easier to develop in the future.

If you borrow money, it can only be a one-time act. If you have no relatives or friends, you may not be able to lend it.

But if Xia Zekai becomes a partner of Jiujiufang, the nature will be completely different.

Would he still watch Jiujiufang encounter difficulties and not lend a hand to help?

While Zhang Yiming was thinking wildly, he kept turning the pages in his hand and finally made the call.

It is very annoying when waiting for the call to be connected. You don't know whether the other party will answer your call, and you also don't know whether the next question you are going to ask is reliable. Zhang Yiming feels a little irritated.

The call was finally connected, and Lao Zhang heard Xia Zekai's voice the next moment.

"Hello, who are you?" Xia Zekai asked him on the phone.

Zhang Yiming quickly put the phone to his ear and said cautiously: "Is this Mr. Xia? I am Zhang Yiming from Beijing. We met last time at the Sina Weibo press conference."

At this time, Lao Zhang felt a little humble about asking for help.

Xia Zekai thought for a while, and then he remembered that he was such a great person.

"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang, I wonder why you called me?" Xia Zekai asked him.

Xia Zekai really didn't expect Zhang Yiming to call him.

This made Xia Zekai feel weird and secretly happy.

“Mr.

Are you interested?" Zhang Yiming asked him in a different way.

Xia Zekai's first guess was Toutiao, but as soon as the name flashed in his mind, he realized that Toutiao didn't seem to be at this time.

"What project?"

Xia Zekai asked, and Zhang Yiming said: "The project name is Jiujiufang, which was just launched this month. Jiujiufang combines the basic functions of current real estate, including the purchase and sale of new and second-hand houses, and a vertical search function.

It also provides more accurate information to Internet users who purchase homes.”

Xia Zekai listened carefully for a few minutes, and he discovered the fact that he didn't understand a word of it.

Especially regarding the core technology of the Internet, he was even more confused.

After Zhang Yiming finished speaking these professional terms, Xia Zekai went straight to the core: "Mr. Zhang, can you just tell me how much money I need to invest?"

Zhang Yiming never expected that Xia Zekai would be so open-minded. He said directly: "Five or six hundred thousand is enough, three or four hundred thousand is also fine."

"Then do you have the money to pay me back?" Xia Zekai asked a lot after hearing the amount he mentioned.

This sentence stopped Zhang Yiming. If Lao Zhang had the money to pay back, he would not ask Xia Zekai to borrow money.

Zhang Yiming finally had to admit the fact: "Mr. Xia, I'm sorry. In the short term, I can't pay you back the money."

"Really, if I count it as an investment, how many shares are you going to give me?" Xia Zekai asked him.
