Chapter 314 The clues and the game of forced intelligence (6000-character chapter)(1/2)
"Zekai, who is calling so early in the morning? Are you bothered? It's only what time and no one is allowed to sleep." Luo Xiyun's voice came from the bedroom.
When Xia Zekai got up just now, he still woke her up randomly.
Xia Zekai lowered his voice and whispered: "The young man wearing glasses we met last time when we went to the capital. He has no money. He just called me and asked me if I wanted to invest."
Hearing that it was related to money, Luo Xiyun stopped sleeping and tucked the blankets for Yatou and Tongtong. She quickly got up and got dressed, came to the living room, sat next to Xia Zekai, and asked him: "When we went to the capital? Which one?"
ah?"
"Zhang Yiming, wearing glasses, is thin and looks about 26 or 27 years old. Do you still have an impression?" Xia Zekai described it again.
But it's a pity that Luo Xiyun can no longer remember clearly.
Having said that, she didn't care what the other person looked like. Her focus was on investment, so she asked him: "Zekai, what does this guy named Zhang do? Why would he ask you to borrow money? How much does he want to borrow?"
Xia Zekai shook his head, shrugged and said: "It's not about borrowing money, it's about asking me to invest. I don't know how much to borrow. He should be here in two days. Let's talk about it then."
"Then do you still have money? Our house will be renovated this month." Luo Xiyun reminded him.
Xia Zekai nodded: "I know, the decoration budget for the house is tentatively set at 300,000 yuan. In this case, I still have 70,000 to 800,000 yuan on hand, which is almost that much money."
Luo Xiyun understood the underlying meaning of his words and asked him: "Zekai, do you want to invest all of it in him?"
"How could it be possible? Let's see what the situation is." Xia Zekai was undecided for the time being.
Venture capital is not just a matter of words.
However, Xia Zekai didn't know much about Jiujiu Fang, and there was no clear record of this project in his memory fragments, which also meant that Jiujiu Fang's subsequent development had not yet reached the level of fame.
It didn't matter. He remembered that he had seen an article somewhere. It was said that Zhang Yiming had done a real estate-related project before starting the Toutiao project, and his important strategic partner Haina
Asia has also invested in this project.
Could it be that this is the project?
He still remembered that after Toutiao changed its name and became popular, there was a special article introducing the details of Byte Toutiao's major shareholders. Among them, the investment institution with the largest investment was Haina Asia.
Xia Zekai doesn't know much about the investment world, but that doesn't stop him from using his computer to find out who Haina Asia is.
It can invest in Zhang Yiming's two projects at the same time, which also shows that both projects have merits, right?
Thinking of this, Xia Zekai couldn't sit still. He went directly to the second bedroom and turned on the computer. Along with the "buzzing" sound of the main chassis fan, the screen lit up.
Xia Zekai opened the Baidu browser by sliding the mouse with his hand. Following the clues he recalled, he entered the words "Haina Asia" in the search box that opened.
There are more than a dozen pieces of information related to Haina Asia listed below. They are basically simple information about its investment in a certain company. In just a few sentences, they say which round of investment was made and how much money was invested.
Most of the key information is hidden.
There is also a link specifically introducing 'Haina Asia', which is Haina International Investment Fund and a venture capital fund founded in China in 2006. Its helm is Wang Qiong, who is currently the managing director of Haina Asia Venture Capital Fund.
He is also a partner of Haina Asia Venture Capital Fund, and has led investments including Ogilvy Medical, Ctrip, Imaging International, China United, Home Inn, Little Swan, Giant Education Group, etc.
There were many investment records below, but Xia Zekai stopped reading. He thought to himself that the investment record of Haina Asia was not bad.
Many of the companies it invests in are very famous at a certain time.
Because of this, Xia Zekai took Zhang Yiming’s ‘Nine-nine Rooms’ project seriously.
He searched for "Jiujiu Fang" on the Internet again, but maybe because of the relationship between "Jiujiu Fang" which just started last month, there is very little information about it on the Internet.
One of them states that in early September 2009, Zhang Yiming, a rising Internet star who was once a partner of Fanfou.com, founded Jiujiufang, a client product for vertical search of real estate information...
"Zekai, what are you looking for? I called you just now, but you didn't answer." Luo Xiyun came over wearing slippers.
Then a faint scent of mint floated over with the flow of air. Xia Zekai leaned back in his chair. He pointed at the computer screen and said, "I just checked some information."
"Is it possible that it has something to do with the company you want to invest in?" Luo Xiyun asked him.
Xia Zekai nodded: "It has something to do with it."
Luo Xiyun didn't like to hear this. She scolded Xia Zekai: "What does it mean to have some relationship? If it exists, it means it exists. If it doesn't, it means it doesn't exist. You still can't understand such a big investment?"
"What do you think? I want to invest in the future of a company. There are many uncertainties. Do you think this is easy to handle?" Xia Zekai didn't want to discuss this with his wife.
Luo Xiyun felt uncomfortable when he looked at her, so she went up and slapped him on the back, saying, "What do you mean, do you look down on me? I'm looking for a beating."
"-_-||" Xia Zekai was speechless. This can make you think of something together. This is considered a skill.
He immediately put his backhand around Luo Xiyun's waist, pulled her over and put her on his lap to sit. His other hand also wrapped around her arm to prevent her from moving her hands or feet.
Smelling the fragrance of his wife, but without any other desires, he said: "The company I plan to invest in just started last month, and there are a lot of uncertainties, but Zhang Yiming is a very good person. He
I also worked at Microsoft and led several very successful Internet projects."
"Zhang Yiming? I remember, the last time you asked me about Fanfou.net, was it him and that guy named Wang who caused it?" Luo Xiyun remembered something and asked him.
Xia Zekai nodded: "Yes, he and Wang Xing built Fanfou.com, but the content discussed on Fanfou.com has no boundaries and violates the rules of the game."
Luo Xiyun frowned and said, "By the way, you told me last time that Wang Xing had done something else, and it was quite famous."
"Renren, I don't believe you never stole food when you were in college?" Xia Zekai looked unbelieving.
"Oh, I must have played it before. I calculated the time at that time, stayed at the computer to collect food at night, and even stole other people's..." Luo Xiyun thought of those things, and he felt a different kind of beautiful memory in his heart.
As she spoke, she leaned on Xia Zekai's chest, feeling quite comfortable.
"Money addict!" Xia Zekai summed it up in two words.
But Luo Xiyun was not angry this time. She said: "You are a money-crazed person. What I mean is to collect your own property. You know nothing."
"Okay, it's almost nine o'clock, and we haven't had breakfast yet. I'm going to buy some." Xia Zekai pointed at the time in the lower right corner of the computer and said.
Luo Xiyun took a look and saw that it was really almost nine o'clock. She thought about it and didn't think of anything to eat, so she said: "Forget it, I'll see if there is anything else to eat at home. I'll make a living first to fill my stomach and wait until noon."
Let’s eat together.”
Xia Zekai touched his stomach. He was already hungry. He said, "I'd better go out and buy some. I'll be back soon."
"Okay, I'll go sleep for a while." After Luo Xiyun said that, he broke away from Xia Zekai's arms, stood up, and went to the master bedroom to go back to sleep.
On weekends, sleeping at home is beautiful, but not sleeping is truly a waste.
When Xia Zekai went out, he opened the door of the master bedroom and took a look. Neither Yatou nor Tongtong showed any signs of waking up. He thought that they were really tired from playing yesterday.
It was wrong to go out to buy breakfast at this time. When Xia Zekai went out, all the vendors selling breakfast on the roadside had left.
I ordered two steamed buns filled with cabbage and meat, went to the wonton restaurant next door and bought two bowls of fresh meat wontons, and also made two bowls of tofu curd without chili, and then went home.
Before I even entered the door, I heard the two girls chattering in the bedroom.
When I opened the bedroom door, I saw the two girls lying on top of their mother making trouble. They woke up and refused to let their mother rest.
"Mom, I'm so hungry!" The little chubby girl Tongtong said pitifully, covering her stomach.
Luo Xiyun heard the sound of the door opening. She looked at Xia Zekai who was looking in at the door and said, "Why don't you get up quickly? Your father has already bought breakfast."
When Tongtong heard what her mother said, she quickly looked towards the door. Xia Zekai also lifted up the plastic bag containing various breakfasts and showed it to her.
Tongtong couldn't lie down anymore. She quickly got up: "Mom, hurry up and get me dressed. I want to eat something delicious."
The girl stopped making trouble and shouted to Xia Zekai: "Dad, please braid my hair."
After Xia Zekai received the instruction, he quickly put the steamed buns in his hand on the coffee table, hung two wontons and two tofu buns on the door handle of the second bedroom, washed the handle, and then dressed his daughter and tied her hair in pigtails.
Although the breakfast was simple, the three girls had a great time. Xia Zekai was not in a hurry to eat. He waited for the two girls to eat half a bowl of wontons, then they ate half a bowl of tofu together, and each of them ate a big steamed meat bun.
Then he ate whatever was left by his daughter.
His wife never eats other people's leftovers, and neither does his daughter. The reason is that she doesn't eat food with other people's saliva on her and she has a certain mysophobia.
But for this reason that is not very valid, Xia Zekai despises her. You bitch is not honest in what you say. Are you eating too much of my saliva?
These words just passed through Xia Zekai's mind, and he didn't dare to say them out, otherwise he would be in trouble today.
After eating breakfast, Xia Zekai was still thinking about where to go to play today.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they asked the three mothers, the three of them started shaking the rattle in unison. Luo Xiyun said firmly: "I was exhausted yesterday. I won't go anywhere today. I will just rest at home."
That was all she said, but she never expected that Yatou and Tongtong would also nod and say, "Dad, I won't go out to play anymore, I want to watch cartoons."
Luo Xiyun was usually against the two of them watching cartoons. She was mainly afraid that watching TV for too long would affect their eyes.
But today, she didn't object directly and said: "You can watch it, but sit on the sofa and watch it, otherwise don't watch it."
"Okay, mom is great, I love mom." The girl's little mouth also became sweet.
Tongtong was more direct, jumping directly onto Luo Xiyun, hugging her neck, and insisted on kissing her mother.
Luo Xiyun saw that her daughter's mouth was oily and shiny after just eating. She really wanted to dislike it as much as she wanted and said, "Tongtong, go ahead, the oil in the mouthful smells really bad."
But Tongtong got excited. You refused to let me kiss you, but I insisted on kissing you.
Luo Xiyun was at a loss, so he took a piece of paper and wiped her daughter's mouth clean, and then put her cheek up.
Then the girl sitting next to her was not to be outdone and wanted to give her mother a kiss.
Luo Xiyun put the two of them on the sofa and sat down, turned on the TV for them, tuned to the children's channel, and let them watch by themselves, while she went to lie down on the bed in the second bedroom.
After Xia Zekai finished his work, he sat down in front of the computer again.
After a while, he logged into his QQ account, which he had not logged in for some days, thinking that he had been going smoothly these days, but he had put aside the 'sharp weapon' that really made him rich.
Xia Zekai suddenly became a little alarmed. He reflected on himself that this was not the right thing to do. He had to learn from the ‘Teacher Tony’ who updated ten thousand diaries every day.
