Zhang Xuhao and the Kang family were stopped by the young lady at the front desk.
"Gentlemen, how can I help you?"
Zhang Xuhao introduced himself: "I'm looking for your boss. My name is Zhang Xuhao."
"Are you looking for Mr. Qin? Wait a moment." The lady at the front desk called.
"Mr. Zhang, please come with me."
The Kang family and others looked at the office area of the Youth Home that had begun to take shape, and couldn't help but secretly envy it. Zhang Xuhao also secretly smacked his lips. He had heard that the first round of financing of the Youth Home had reached 350 million. To say that he was not envious
, that is deceiving yourself.
"Enter."
A group of people came to Qin Hao's office. The lady at the front desk knocked on the door. After hearing Qin Hao's response, she opened the door and let Zhang Xuhao and others in.
"Here, sit down, what do you want to drink? I have tea, juice, and coffee here, but the coffee is only instant." Qin Hao greeted warmly.
Zhang Xuhao shook his head: "Don't bother, just mineral water."
"Okay, Anna, please bring some bottles of mineral water, thank you." Qin Hao said to the lady at the front desk and sat on the sofa in front of the coffee table.
Zhang Xuhao said with emotion: "Your youth home has developed so fast recently."
Qin Hao waved his hand: "Hey, it was all made by burning money. The first round of financing may not last until the end of the year, and the second round of financing will start soon."
Everyone in the Kang family smacked their tongues when they heard this. How long did it take to burn tens of millions? When did money become so worthless?
Zhang Xuhao said enviously: "I would like to burn money, but I really don't have any money."
In fact, Ele.me is a bit embarrassing at this time. The domestic smartphone market has not yet fully developed. Most people are still using old Nokia models. Although you can order food using a computer, it is not that convenient after all, so
The development space has always been limited by the college student market.
In addition, the most popular Internet model in China is group buying, and most venture capital institutions’ money has been sucked away by group buying websites. Ele.me has not yet scaled up, and Zhang Xuhao is unwilling to sell shares at a low price, so he has been
Unable to find suitable financing.
In the Internet industry, if you don’t have money, don’t mention development. This has formed a vicious circle. After the championship bonus of the last entrepreneurial competition was taken away by Qin Hao, Ele.me’s situation became even more difficult. If it weren’t for the fact that it couldn’t survive, Zhang Xu
He would never take the initiative to come to Qin Hao.
"Actually, Ele.me's current model is profitable. Why is your financial situation still so bad?" Qin Hao asked curiously.
Ele.me's current business scope is basically around schools, and their food delivery drivers are all part-time students. The cost is not high. It is calculated based on a commission of 5%-15% for each order to maintain a balance of income and expenditure.
It shouldn't be difficult.
Before Zhang Xuhao could say anything, the Kang family smiled bitterly: "Those old businessmen have no integrity at all. When they signed the contract, they clearly stated in black and white that they would charge a certain service fee. But at the end of the month, they started to act rogue and tried to force us to waive the fee."
Service fee, because of this we went to the police station several times."
Qin Hao didn't know how to comfort them for a while. Indeed, many times, no matter how good the writing is in black and white, there is really nothing you can do when you encounter a rogue. Just file a lawsuit. You can't make up for the legal fees with just a few dollars, or what?
It is said that the first pot of gold is the hardest to earn.
Zhang Xuhao also had an expression on his face that he couldn't bear to look back on.
At this moment, the lady at the front desk came in with mineral water. Zhang Xuhao took a sip of water and said seriously.
"You said you wanted to invest before. Does it still count?"
For a moment, everyone in the Kang family also turned their attention to Qin Hao.
Qin Hao smiled and nodded: "Of course it counts."
Zhang Xuhao was obviously relieved. If he couldn't hold on any longer, he really didn't plan to come to Qin Hao. It was not for other reasons, but mainly because he couldn't pass the test in his heart. He was also an entrepreneur, and Qin Hao had started his business earlier than
He was still late, but the company was valued at 350 million in one year, which was a bit of a blow.
"How many shares do you plan to sell?" Qin Hao asked directly.
Zhang Xuhao and the Kang family looked at each other: "10% is the most."
Qin Hao was not surprised by this figure. In fact, Zhang Xuhao had the same idea as him. The first round of financing was actually crucial. After all, the valuation in the first round would not be raised. If too much was given away,
Shares will hinder the entry of other venture capital institutions in the future, and many companies have fallen apart due to civil strife.
"10%." Qin Hao tapped his thigh with his fingers: "1 million."
Zhang Xuhao was not satisfied with the price given by Qin Hao, and said solemnly: "This is too underestimating the value of Ele.me. It's impossible."
Qin Hao smiled and said calmly: "I personally think the price is very fair."
1 million accounts for 10% of the shares, which means Qin Hao’s valuation of Ele.me is 10 million. You must know that at this time, Ele.me’s actual assets are almost non-existent, and the only few computers still belong to them.
The number of users who personally contributed to the office would never exceed 200,000. For such a company, Qin Hao knew the prospects of Ele.me, otherwise he would not have offered this price.
"I don't think this is a fair price. This is disrespectful to Ele.me." Zhang Xuhao gritted his teeth.
Qin Hao shook his head noncommittally, and was not led by Zhang Xuhao. He did want to invest, but his money did not come from strong winds.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the office became more solemn. Seeing Zhang Xuhao was about to leave angrily, Qin Hao suddenly slapped his thigh and said with a smile.
"Okay, just treat me as your friend, 1.2 million, 10% of the shares. This is my greatest sincerity."
Obviously, this price did not meet Zhang Xuhao's psychological expectations, but seeing Qin Hao's resolute attitude, Zhang Xuhao was unsure about the bottom line for a while. Now Ele.me has reached the point where it is at the end of its rope and even needs to rent the server for next month.
Damn it, if there is no money coming in, Ele.me will really go bankrupt.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After Zhang Xuhao thought for a moment, he said to Qin Hao: "Can we discuss it?"
"Of course, the conference room is vacant now and can be used by you. Please give me an answer after you think about it." Qin Hao did not intend to delay it any longer, and finally seized this opportunity to avoid unnecessary complications.
"Okay, give us five minutes."
Qin Hao brought Zhang Xuhao and his party to the conference room, and then left on his own. He was too lazy to do any eavesdropping tricks. For him, there were other options besides Ele.me. The worst he could do was to pay a little more.
, but for Zhang Xuhao, no one can give such conditions except him at this stage.
Five minutes later, Zhang Xuhao and his party walked into Qin Hao's office.
"Let's sign!"
Qin Hao smiled and extended his hand to Zhang Xuhao: "This is a win-win situation."
"I hope so too." Zhang Xuhao forced a smile. Obviously he was not satisfied with the price, but he had to accept it.
With the signing of the equity transfer agreement, Qin Hao happily transferred one million to Ele.me's public account. He did not send an accountant to Ele.me. On the one hand, Zhang Xuhao and the others could use their credit cards to maintain Ele.me's business.
The operation of Ele.me shows that they really want to build a business and do not need to be so defensive. On the one hand, it is also to leave a good impression on the founding team of Ele.me as a generous and generous person, so that they can obtain more shares of Ele.me in the future.
.
After Zhang Xuhao got the money, the first thing he did was to expand externally, get out of college and enter the white-collar market. This was also the market he had been coveting for a long time, but he had never had money before and could not afford to hire a full-time delivery person.
The reason why he is so eager is actually influenced by Qin Hao. The expansion speed of Youth Home makes Zhang Xuhao envious. He is eager to prove himself and prove the value of Ele.me.
As the end of the year approaches, Qin Hao has become accustomed to the life of a graduate student. He spends half a day at school every day to help Lu Ming and others. Although he has become a marginal figure in the team, he is still needed to do odd jobs.
Lilian would sometimes play tennis with Qin Hao. In Lilian's words, everyone she knew was too good. She couldn't bear her temper when playing professionally, so she could only take Qin Hao as a sparring partner.
.
"Just take pity on me. I'm so old. If you don't go, this little enemy will kill me." Professor Dong said to Qin Hao with sincerity.
This was also the condition for him to agree to turn a blind eye to Qin Hao. Qin Hao had no choice but to accompany Lilian, the eldest lady, to let out his motor nerves that had nowhere to vent.
No, Qin Hao was caught by Lilian again today and dragged to the tennis court.
After Qin Hao changed his clothes and walked out of the dressing room, his cell phone suddenly rang.
On the other side, Jiang Nansun had just finished taking the preliminary examination for graduate school, and the examination room happened to be nearby, so he wanted to visit Tongji and see what the study life of a graduate student was like in advance.
Of course, in Zhu Suosuo's view, this was completely an excuse.
"It's obvious that I miss someone, but I don't dare to admit it!"
Jiang Nan and Sun Fei gave Zhu Suosuo a big roll of his eyes and said harshly: "No, if you keep talking nonsense, let me see if I don't tear your mouth apart."
The two of them had arrived at Tongji College while they were laughing and joking. The two beauties traveling together naturally attracted the attention of many members of the opposite sex. However, with Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo's level of good looks, ordinary members of the opposite sex did not have the courage to approach them.
"Hey, is it him?" Jiang Nansun called Qin Hao, but the other party didn't answer. When he was worrying about how to find him, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar face.
Zhu Suosuo followed Jiang Nansun's gaze and frowned slightly: "Who is it? Do you know him?"
"Well, he's Qin Hao's classmate, he seems to be named Zhang Anren." Jiang Nansun thought hard and finally thought of Zhang Anren's name, and quickly pulled Zhu Suosuo over.
Zhang Anren heard someone calling his name from behind. When he looked back, he found that it was Jiang Nansun. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated. At this moment, it seemed as if the time around him had frozen.
However, Jiang Nansun poured cold water on Zhang Anren with his first words after meeting him: "Hello, Senior Zhang, do you know where Qin Hao is?"
Zhang Anren seemed to hear the sound of something breaking.
Seeing Zhang Anren looking at Jiang Nansun blankly, Zhu Suosuo couldn't help but frown slightly: "Why are you like this? I'm talking to you. I don't know if I just say a word."
Only then did Zhang Anren wake up and said awkwardly: "Sorry, I was distracted by the topic I was thinking of researching just now. You want to find Qin Hao, right? I'll take you there."
Although he was very reluctant, Zhang Anren gritted his teeth and agreed to lead them in order to stay with Jiang Nansun for a while.
Along the way, Zhang Anren wanted to say a few more words to Jiang Nansun, so he walked very slowly.
Unfortunately, Zhu Suosuo took the initiative to get between the two of them, which directly dashed Zhang Anren's hopes.
"Wait for me here, I'll go ask." Zhang Anren secretly rejoiced when he found that Qin Hao was not in the teaching assistant's office.
"Sorry to trouble you, Senior Zhang." Jiang Nansun said politely.
After Zhang Anren entered, Zhu Suosuo pulled her aside: "This Zhang Anren has bad intentions for you, so be careful."
"No way? Did you see it wrong?" Jiang Nansun looked at her in surprise.
Zhu Suosuo raised his chin proudly: "Huh, I, Zhu Suosuo, will be wrong when looking at other things, but I will never be wrong about this. The way he looks at you is obviously abnormal. You treat him as a senior, but he doesn't just treat you as a junior. In short,
, just keep your distance from him.”
Jiang Nansun tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly said curiously to Zhu Suosuo.
"It seems that since we were in junior high school, you see, the people of the opposite sex who approach me are like guarding against thieves. How come there is no hostility towards him?"
This person was naturally Qin Hao, and Zhu Suosuo was stunned for a moment because she had never thought about this problem herself.
"Oh, it's different. Although I don't want to admit it, this Qin Hao is indeed good in all aspects. Among the men I have met, he is the only one who is worthy of our noble Princess Jiang." Zhu Suosuo said insincerely. In fact, she also
I don’t know whether these words were used to convince Jiang Nansun or to convince himself.
On the other side, Zhang Anren learned from Lu Ming that Qin Hao was dragged by Lilian to play tennis, and he was immediately elated.
He excitedly came to Jiang Nansun and looked like he was hesitant to speak.
Jiang Nansun's curiosity was innocently aroused.
"Where is Qin Hao?"
Zhang Anren was possessed by the actor at this moment. He opened and closed his mouth, and then pretended to be very reluctant and said.
"Well, I shouldn't have told you this originally, but I was afraid that you would be deceived. In fact, Professor Dong's daughter Lillian often invites him to play tennis."
Jiang Nansun felt his head buzzing: "You mean they are in love?"
Zhang Anren was secretly happy, but he said, "Then I don't know. I'm not Professor Dong's student and I haven't seen it with my own eyes."
"Where are they?"
"Okay, it seems to be on the tennis court."
Jiang Nansun immediately turned around and angrily went downstairs. Zhu Suosuo glanced at Zhang Anren meaningfully, and then hurriedly followed Jiang Nansun's footsteps.
After going downstairs, Jiang Nansun had just asked a classmate for the direction of the tennis court and was about to rush over, but Zhu Suosuo held her back.
"Do you really believe what Zhang Anren said?"
Jiang Nansun's eyes turned red and he took a breath: "It is precisely because I don't believe it that I want to see with my own eyes whether it is true."
"Then have you ever thought that maybe they really just play tennis together."
