Chapter 130 Two Investments
"Teacher Ma, Teacher Zhang, please stay."
After Sun Shaobao Yue announced the meeting on his behalf, Du Qiu called Ma Yun and his wife. He took out his car keys and handed them to Liu Yunlai, saying, "Brother Liu, take Director Sun downstairs first. I'll talk about some private matters soon."
"OK."
Du Qiu has a low emotional intelligence and can use the psychological advantages of traveling through the party in public to express his freedom, but in private, he is not good at dealing with celebrities in his previous life. After everyone in the conference room left, Ma Yun, who was nervous and expectant, was silent for a moment and decided to imitate the other party's speech routine and sprinkle chicken soup.
"Teacher Ma, I have always believed in the concept of getting things done according to the person. Whether a person can succeed depends mainly on two things: one, whether he has vision, and the other, whether he has execution ability. You can see business opportunities when the Internet was first opened in China. You have a good vision. You can decisively give up your iron rice bowl and start a business. You have strong execution ability. I admire you very much, so I want to cooperate with you."
"Mr. Du has won the award, but I actually haven't..."
Du Qiu waved his hand, interrupted Ma Yun's self-worthiness, and asked straightforwardly: "I'm quite busy now and don't have time to go to Hangzhou for inspection. Teacher Ma, how much do you think your Haibo company is worth now?"
Ma Yun founded Haibo Computer Service Company in April 1995. At present, except for the couple, there is only one employee, and he is also a part-time job. His office is also rented. His fixed assets are only one phone, a printer and two computers. There is nothing else. It can be said that he is poor and not worth much money.
However, in the meeting just now, in order to compete for the quota of Hangzhou Information Port, Ma Yun said his company very much like that. It was difficult to change his words at this time. After hesitating for a moment, he introduced: "Haibo's registered capital is 100,000 yuan. It has been open for more than three months. The business is progressing very quickly. He has opened web pages for more than 20 companies, and his monthly revenue is growing..."
"Sorry, Teacher Ma, I just said that I invest in you, not the company. I am not interested in the business currently running in Haibo, so I don't need to introduce the specific situation. Just give me a valuation."
Ma Yun was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't figure out what Du Qiu meant. He looked at each other with his wife Zhang Ying, not knowing how to answer.
"Teacher Ma, in my opinion, your vision is worth 100,000, and your execution is worth 100,000, which is a total of 200,000." Du Qiu felt that the atmosphere in the conference room was a bit solemn, so he raised two fingers, faced Zhang Ying, and said with a smile: "The husband and wife are united, and they are good at breaking gold. Teacher Zhang, you can fully support Teacher Ma to quit his job and start a business. His vision and courage are not inferior to him, and it is worth 200,000."
Zhang Ying laughed when she heard this, and Ma Yun also laughed. The two of them held hands under the conference table in a tacit understanding. The tense atmosphere in the room, as if they were interviewed, became much more relaxed.
"Since Teacher Ma said that Haibo's registered capital is 100,000, then it's better to think it's worth 100,000. In this way, it's a total of 500,000." Du Qiu quickly cut the mess and said directly: "I plan to invest 500,000 for you. Both parties each hold 50% of the shares. If the development is good, we will invest additional investment in the future. You two will go back and think about it first. If you are willing to accept it, you can make an appointment for another time to discuss in detail. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter. If you have other opportunities to cooperate in the future."
500,000 yuan was not available in the Internet industry 20 years later, but it was a small investment in China in 1995. It was very friendly to a small company like Haibo, which has just been open for three months. It not only alleviated the urgent need for lack of money to develop, but also did not lose too much equity. Ma Yun and his wife were overjoyed and said almost in unison: "We are willing."
Du Qiu originally planned to invest $500,000 to Ma Yun, but when he was having lunch with Jennifer, he asked about some common sense about venture capital. Only then did he know that for micro-startups, it was not appropriate to invest too much money at one time, because snatching too many shares will make the founder lose the motivation to struggle, and too much money will make the founder feel excited, greedy for me, squander around, and die faster.
In 1995, the conditions for e-commerce in China were not yet mature. Even with Snapdragon providing technical support, Ma Yun was unlikely to make a name for himself within two or three years, so there was no need to invest too much money at once. So Du Qiu changed US$500,000 to RMB500,000, one was used as emotional investment to win over talents, and the other was to conduct experiments for his venture capital fund.
Seeing that the purpose had been achieved, Du Qiuhan nodded with a smile and said, "I have a social event to attend tonight, so I won't entertain you two. If you have any questions or needs, please contact Xiao Dai."
As he said, he stood up, pointed to Dai Yi, who was sitting in the corner to sort out the meeting minutes, and ordered: "Xiao Dai, you drive the company's car and take Teacher Ma and Teacher Zhang back to the hotel for me, and have a good night's hospitality."
Since Dai Yi knew that she didn't have to be a salesman in Beijing, she was in a good mood. Not only was she radiant, but she also became much smarter in her work. She replied pretty: "Okay."
After dealing with Ma Yun and his wife, Du Qiu went downstairs to meet with Sun Shaobao and Liu Yunlai, drove a BMW M5 to the Pearl Hotel, and discussed investment matters with Hu Zhibiao, the founder of Aido VCD, and Chen Tiannan. This time, the talk lasted for more than four hours, and it did not end until nearly 9 o'clock in the evening, and no results were reached.
In terms of importance, Ma Yun and his wife are far superior to Hu Zhibiao and Chen Tiannan, but investing in Ma Yun and his wife uses Du Qiu’s private funds. They can spend whatever they want, so they can cut the mess quickly and make a decision in just a few minutes.
Aido vcd is a pathfinder used by Du Qiu to integrate social resources. In addition to Sun Shaobao and Su Wenhai, there are also Lu Zijian, Gu Shoubing and Wang Changan who came here. The funding components are relatively complicated, and Du Qiu cannot act too casually, so he struggled for several hours. He not only listened to Hu Zhibiao playing conch with half-baked Mandarin, but also endured Sun Shaobao's complacent bargaining, which made him feel like a fight.
Su Wenhai and Wang Huihui also participated in the negotiation. They had not bought a car yet. After leaving the hotel, Du Qiu took them back. On the way, Wang Huihui sat in the back row, talking and laughing about some news about the Internet conference. Su Wenhai, who was usually careless and talkative, sat in the passenger seat and remained silent throughout the journey.
When the car was about to arrive at Qingyun Square, Su Wenhai suddenly said, "Du Qiu, my little sister has always liked you very much, do you know?"
Du Qiu did not answer, but just tapped the steering wheel with his fingers.
Su Wenhai did not get a reply, sighed a long time, turned his head and rolled down the car window, took out the lighter and cigarette from his pants pocket, lit one and started smoking.
Du Qiu has a slight obsession with cleanliness. It is usually strictly forbidden for anyone to smoke in his car, but he did not stop it. Seeing this, Wang Huihui tentatively said in a cautious tone: "Du Qiu, in fact, Wenxiu fell in love with you when she met you for the first time, but she was thin-skinned and embarrassed to confess to you..."
"Emotional affairs are like drinking water, and you know the warmth and coldness of others. Don't meddle in other people's business." Du Qiu interrupted Wang Huihui and parked the car at the intersection next to Qingyun Square, saying, "It's here, you can get off."
Su Wenhai flicked his finger and popped the cigarette that had only sucked two sips out of the car, saying, "Du Qiu, no matter what, my little sister and I are your friends, friends for the rest of our lives, aren't we?"
"yes."
Su Wenhai nodded vigorously, pushed open the car door, and walked away with a big stride. Wang Huihui hurriedly said a few polite words through the car window, and then chased after him with the lv bag he bought from the United States with Jiang Danfeng.
Du Qiu looked at the backs of the two of them, smiled slightly, then turned on the car radio, listened to the music, and drove home.
It was already past 9 o'clock when she got home, and only her mother Du Chunhua was at home. She was wearing loose home clothes, sitting lazily on the sofa, holding a white cover printed document while flipping through. There was a plate of salt water peanuts on the coffee table in front of her, and there was half a bottle of cold beer next to it.
"Sister, you know how to enjoy it. Our dad and Jinyan have not come back yet?"
Du Qiu has been in the Internet Conference these two days, which not only attracted the attention of many domestic media, but also attracted the attention of local governments who use any means to attract investment. In order to avoid being harassed, Du Cunzhi took Lin Jinyan to take refuge in the morning with his godfather Wang Changan.
"Jinyan and Wang Guanjun are crazy. They will sleep there tonight and will not come back." Du Chunhua turned over a page of the printed manuscript and said without raising his head: "I just called Danfeng, and she said that our father is admiring his father's collection and will have to wait a while before he can come back."
Jiang Danfeng is one of the most work-intensive employees during the Internet Conference. He was so tired these two days that there were no important activities this afternoon. Du Qiu asked her to go home to rest. Hearing this, he asked, "What collections?"
"Danfeng's father collected a lot of old newspapers and magazines from the Republic of China. You know, our father likes antique old things the most."
After Du Qiu traveled through time, he rarely saw his mother reading with such a focused expression. He was a little curious and walked over to pick up a salted peanut, peeled it and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Du Chunhua had a strange smile on his face, raised his hands and showed the cover of the print draft. Du Qiu saw that the words "The First Draft of the Translation of "White Night Walk" were written on it, and was a little surprised and asked, "Where did you get it?"
"I will invite Aiko Komatsu to dinner tonight. I brought it from her. It was said that Qin Weizhen asked her to bring it to you for review." Du Chunhua put down the manuscript, leaned over and picked up the bottle, took a sip of beer, and commented: "My brother, your book is very well written, the story and characters are quite interesting, but some plots are too perverted and disgusting. If our father saw it, he would definitely talk about you."
There are some heavy-tasting plots that impact the normal view of people and several details that are not suitable for children in "White Night Walk". Based on the current situation in the domestic publishing industry, if published, these details will definitely be deleted. So Du Qiu was not worried about his family before, but he did not expect Du Chunhua to get the first draft from Aiko Komatsu.
Du Qiu and Du Cunzhi are relatives from generation to generation. They are not as afraid of their grandfather as their father and mother. They have already gained favorability after traveling through time, so they don’t take it seriously. He ate salt water peanuts and explained casually: “Sex and violence are the most eye-catching subjects in the world, and they are also the most written subjects. If they are not written bizarrely, how can they attract readers?”
Du Chunhua just habitually scared Du Qiu, but in fact he had no intention of reading the manuscript for Du Cunzhi. She regarded "White Night Walk" as love. After chatting enthusiastically for a while about the relationship between men and women in the book, she suddenly remembered something and said: "Aiko Komatsu said that your visa is fine. You can go to Japan by just going to the consulate for a formality."
Aiko Komatsu has been to Yuncheng for several days and has not taken out the manuscript, but today he has handed it to Du Chunhua. Obviously, he has other plans like Jennifer. Du Qiu frowned and asked, "What else did she say?"
"I also asked some questions about where you have lived in Japan, whether you have any friends, and I was evasive." Du Chunhua glanced at Du Qiu, half teasing and half reminding, "My brother, the more I look at you, the more I feel that you are like Tang Monk, with beautiful eyes and beautiful eyes, which is particularly attractive to female fairies. You must keep it in check, don't lose your nature and forget who you are."
"They are not interested in me, but money." Du Qiu moved the pillow behind him, lay on the sofa, and said lazily: "In a few days, I will send our dad back to his hometown first, and then go to Japan. Sister, why don't you take Jinyan and me to play with you for a few days?"
"I don't know Japanese, and I can't help much if I go there. You'd better go there alone. I'll deal with what should be dealt with and clean up. Let's say apart from my previous life. In the future, we will live a good life."
"Oh well."
The two were chatting, and the landline at home rang. Seeing that Du Qiu, who was closer to the phone, didn't move his fingers, he had to get up from the sofa that had just been lying down and answer the phone.
Du Cunzhi called Jiang Danfeng's cell phone. He said angrily: "Xiaoqiu, Dawei called me just now and said that Jinyu was born and the mother and daughter were safe. I'll go to the hospital for a look now. Tell your sister, if it's convenient, go and take a look."
In the original time and space, Du Qiu's half-sister was named Annie Lin. She was born on August 25, 1995. Now, not only is her name flapping into Lin Jiayu by the butterfly wings, but her birthday was also a few days in advance, which made him a little surprised. She was stunned for a moment before saying, "Okay, I'll tell my sister."
Du Chunhua and Lin Dawei only have family affection but no love. They were originally a divorce that was a good time. With the intentional or unintentional match between Du Qiu, the son of Du Qiu, although the fate was dispersed, the relationship was not interrupted. It was just that the relationship changed from a couple to a friend. When he heard that Liang Jinyu gave birth to a daughter, he immediately got up and found the red envelopes that had been prepared long ago and took Du Qiu to the hospital. 8)
