Chapter 103 The First Sword
I feel dizzy, full of breath, and helpless!
What''s this?
When Xu Xin sat in the office, she felt her temple still thrust and thrust.
There is no need to eat supper.
She drank tea silently and slowly calmed down. After waiting for a while, she came to Liu Jiankai, the vice president who was responsible for investigating Bai Xiaosheng''s specific situation in the past few days.
"Hi, Kathy." Liu Jiankai knocked on the door and walked into the office with a smile, calling Xu Xin''s English name, "Have you eaten?"
Xu Xin shook her head and pointed to the seat opposite the desk.
Liu Jiankai quickly discovered that the boss''s face was not good-looking, and changed to seriousness: "Mr. Xu, do you want to give a formal report on Bai Xiaosheng''s situation now?"
Xu Xin called Liu Jiankai himself, but now she couldn''t help but feel pain in her head when she listened to him.
She couldn''t help but hold her forehead with her hands and pounded the table twice with her left hand: "Simply put."
Liu Jiankai reads the boss''s body language, and this kind of helplessness he has never seen before since he entered the company.
He didn''t need to make an extended guess, but just said about his work: "The Baixiaosheng website has only been two months since it was launched and started, and it has only been three months since its preliminary registration and preparations. The current number of users has exceeded 100,000."
“And, a large part of the website users come from word of mouth.”
"It has not been advertised for such a short time, and its performance is very excellent!"
"We have a preliminary investigation of Bai Xiaosheng''s current user group. As they said, it is quite targeted, which means they still have great development potential."
"Works socializing is not a new topic, but looking back at the history of Internet development over the past decade, there are no successful companies."
"We have discussed this phenomenon internally, including hardware problems, insufficient user base, and software problems. We have not formed a particularly good workplace social culture in China, and it is indeed difficult to simply workplace socializing."
"But Bai Xiaosheng added the ''topic'' perspective, which is interesting."
"Most of this growth in the past two months has come from workplace topics, so we have a question, can this growth be sustained?"
"The time is relatively short, but judging from the current observations and use and related feedback..."
Liu Jiankai snapped his fingers: "This is a good new attempt."
He licked his lips and moistened his throat with air: "The most rare thing is that the management of this small company seems to have a clear plan and the two-month execution is also in place, which is too rare."
Many startups have a good eyebrow and beard, and Bai Xiaosheng has a proper strategy and implemented it in place, with obvious results, which really shows a lot of skills.
Seeing that the boss''s hand had moved away from his forehead, Liu Jiankai was obviously thinking about what he said, and continued to say: "We have studied the entrepreneurial team of this company. They invested their own money in the early stage, especially the core figure Yu Xing. He invested millions, and the money came from, uh..."
Xu Xin said lightly at this time: "It''s all the money from my husband''s company."
Liu Jiankai: “…”
In a sense, this is true.
A thought flashed through his mind, the value of Zhenai.com belongs to the common property of the couple, and Li Song''s money is also Mr. Xu''s money... Mr. Xu paid for it, Yu Xing started a business, Yu Xing asked for money, and Mr. Xu paid for it again...
Fate!
"It''s just that Yu Xing''s determination to invest, he obviously believes in his judgment." Liu Jiankai did not perform, but just talked about the matter. "This time he brought the old team of the previous company. Well, it''s a bit strange to say the word "old". After all, it took only four months for him to go to the company to sell, but there is no doubt that he himself has certain abilities."
"The market for workplace social interaction exists, the entry point for workplace topics is novel, and subsequent revenue, including advertising and even insertion of mature recruitment methods is conceivable."
"Their team has also undergone preliminary training and the core characters have been recognized by certain levels."
"There is still a question now. When I came here, I was still thinking about how Bai Xiaosheng would deal with the follow-up of major manufacturers. This is already the pain point of entrepreneurship in the industry."
Liu Jiankai pondered after summarizing it.
Xu Xin said lightly: "Penguin has a position."
Liu Jiankai was stunned for a moment, thinking about the boss’ five concise words, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt more insightful, and he applauded sincerely: "Mr. Xu, your opinion is simply to the point!"
He said excitedly: "Oh, yes, Bai Xiaosheng''s business attributes are here. Tsk, okay, this is a different situation after the Internet business enters the vertical field!"
Liu Jiankai was really enlightened and said that the vertical path was vertical. If you really need to do it, and if you really go vertical, you will indeed have a small new world for entrepreneurial projects!
He exclaimed again: "Mr. Xu, your vision is so sharp!"
Xu Xin could actually understand this excitement, but she was so strange that she couldn''t be happy and said truthfully: "This is the reply Yu Xing gave me."
This aspect was not written into Bai Xiaosheng''s financing intention letter.
Liu Jiankai was very surprised. His praise dropped slightly, but he still said, "That''s it... Well, Yu Xing is not bad. He has no thinking about the industry and the project, so he can''t say this."
When he said this, he suddenly remembered what happened to Bai Xiaosheng yesterday: "Mr. Xu, Yu Xing had a speech at the Internet Conference, and the content was quite good. From this point of view, although he was from a medical background, he had a lot of thoughts about the Internet."
Although Xu Xin was in a bad mood, she still said objectively: "It''s not only good. I went to meet Liu Qiangdong last year. He strongly recommended me to read this speech. Later, he wanted to recruit Yu Xing to JD.com. Half of our evaluations at that time were ridiculous, believing that this perspective of judgment on the development stage of the industry is very broad."
Liu Jiankai was a little surprised. He heard it. Half of it was teasing, and the other half was naturally serious.
Although JD.com is not large in scale now, today''s capital is very optimistic about JD.com''s future and also recognizes Liu Qiangdong''s ability.
One person says yes, two people say yes, three and four have similar opinions, that is, it is really good.
What''s more, there are people like Ma Yun, Xu Xin, and Liu Qiangdong here.
"The logic of his speech is very consistent." Xu Xin said, "Some people have their own set of theories, and some people can explore and practice it. If they have both theories and practice it, it would be really good."
Liu Jiankai couldn''t help but nodded. Putting aside the relationship between Yu Xing''s previous project, his preliminary research result was to comprehensively combine various factors and believe that Bai Xiaosheng has great development potential and is worth investing.
Of course, there is no risk-free here. At least, there are many risks that the "workplace topic" tends to be negative for the company.
However, the risk-free investment target is another price.
What do investment institutions do?
It is necessary to pursue interests with risks.
Liu Jiankai''s speech has basically ended. Today is just a temporary overtime work, and there will be formal discussions in the future.
Well, what''s the reason for this temporary overtime...
Liu Jiankai did not try to interfere. Anyway, his opinion was clear, and the decision-making power of whether to invest or not is in the hands of the boss.
Xu Xin could feel the vice president''s restraint and first talked about the next contact time: "I will talk to Yu Xing and the others again on the morning of the 10th, and you will confirm the itinerary."
Later, she also expressed her attitude and her speech speed slowed down: "Bai Xiaosheng''s workplace topic does involve Zhenai.com, but our decisions only require responsibility for today''s capital funds, and other factors are irrelevant."
Liu Jiankai did not unexpectedly hear such an answer and immediately said, "I understand!"
Today’s Capital was founded by the boss, and she cherished this brand more than anyone else.???Bai Xiaosheng’s investment is not important in a certain sense. What is important is that she needs to practice her working principles and professional ethics. Otherwise, how can she convince many partners?
In addition, Liu Jiankai is indeed optimistic about Bai Xiaosheng''s future and is looking forward to the development and changes brought about by his own capital injection.
If Bai Xiaosheng really goes public one day in the future and today''s boss has no investment due to other factors, it will undoubtedly become a joke.
Liu Jiankai thought about this and suddenly felt... Well, if the couple had a dispute over this matter, the impact would not seem very good.
"Okay, you will continue to follow Bai Xiaosheng." Xu Xin saw him off, "Yu Xing called out a price of $5 million, which is obviously overestimated. You will determine another range before the 10th."
Liu Jiankai nodded and responded, and the thoughts in his mind were suppressed.
There is only one person left in the office.
Xu Xin''s mood was not relaxed because of her clear decision-making attitude, but she felt it was a bit trickier.
It would be fine if Bai Xiaosheng is not good. If Bai Xiaosheng is really, everyone thinks he can vote...
The Chinese New Year will be held on the 25th...
This year is still unforgettable...
Xu Xin sighed, feeling that although the case is small, it gives her a headache more than "Where to Go".
She knew that her husband''s attitude towards Zhenai.com really wanted to go public.
If I vote this time...
Xu Xin opened the financing letter of intent on her desk, but the focus was not on it.
This is really a throw, that is really the first sword during the Chinese New Year. I will kill the person next to me first.
…
The conflict between Yu Xing and Li Song gave potential financial support a headache, but Bai Xiaosheng''s employees were very excited.
The conflict itself was very lively.
The boss of the company who was only online before actually came to the door, and this position is much bigger than the previous two groups!
Also, the well-known investor Xu Xin is actually this wife!
And, what the boss said about the progress of the A round of financing is true!
Oh yes, there is a rebellious Erwuzi sitting next to him. He is so strict with his mouth!
There is not only lively, gossip, interests, and personal participation in verbal battles and pushing. This class B is really worth it!
However, Yu Xing issued a ban on his employees the next morning.
"Don''t spread the story yesterday, and don''t post it to our website."
"The company''s two major goals now are: one is to develop users and the other is to obtain financing."
"If we take the initiative to make the conflict a lot, it may affect the view of investors. If we cannot make investment, we don''t know when our options will be settled."
Yu Xing gave the reason and obtained everyone''s guarantee.
He is more cautious. Although he has the idea of ??finding other investors, the progress of capital today is obviously better.
It’s okay to ride a donkey and find a horse, but don’t beat him up.
At 10 o''clock in the morning, the previous topic from Xiecheng was still fermenting. In addition to the customer''s insurance fraud in November, other insurance policies have been confirmed one after another, which has attracted wider media reports.
Xiecheng is a listed company, and the problem of such fake insurance policies is quite bad.
Compared with this, the internal layoffs are not that big.
At half past ten, a new post was posted by a certified city employee anonymous account, saying that someone had come to him and proposed more sincere compensation for layoffs, which means that the matter of this group of employees has been initially resolved.
Such news is naturally worthy of happiness, and it is also seen by other users who are watching this.
Brothers, the revelations are really useful!
Bai Xiaosheng must not fail the platform...
Yu Xing was quite amused when he noticed such a post, which was also considered a preliminary reputation.
At noon, the chairman of Steel, who had been in the hospital overnight, was discharged again. This was his third time.
"Brother Xing, I have also shed blood for the company." Song Yufeng is not without pride.
Yu Xing gave a thumbs up: "Brother Feng, when you have money to put down the next door, you will definitely divide the office."
"It doesn''t matter whether you are in an office or not, it''s just..." Song Yufeng was a little resentful, "Brother Xing, please remind me next time you ran, you ran too fast yesterday!"
Yu Xing was a little embarrassed: "I was a little scared at the time and wanted to mobilize everyone as soon as possible."
Song Yufeng accepted the boss''s explanation. After all, yesterday was just a shock and was not really injured again.
"I went to Capital today on the morning of the 10th, do you want to go with me?" Yu Xing asked.
Song Yufeng was excited: "You want it!"
I have been to the hospital three times, and it’s finally the turn of getting a face!
Yu Xing was about to speak when he suddenly received a text message on his phone.
Liu Wanying: I boarded the plane and flew to Xiangjiang.
He was shocked. Xiaoying flew to Xiangjiang, and the first sword to short was finally swung out.
If short selling can be successful, Bai Xiaosheng''s demand for financing will drop a lot.
If it fails... then you have to accumulate funds and then find the goal. The financing needs to be covered.
Money, it’s the New Year soon.
Yu Xing really hopes that when he goes home for the New Year this time, he will see a harmonious family and friends, but that requires an economic foundation.
No need to give it, you can see the economy.
"Brother Xing, what''s wrong?" Song Yufeng suddenly became cold when he saw the boss''s expression, thinking that there was something bad about it.
Yu Xing put down his phone and smiled: "It''s okay, it''s good news."
Song Yufeng felt a little cold in his heart. What good news? Why is the boss smiling indifferently?
Yu Xing raised his voice: "Come on, come on, it depends on how our year can be spent!"
Song Yufeng echoed twice, sure there must be something strange here, otherwise the boss would not sharpen his knife like this tone!
But he also had some expectations. After at least he went to the hospital three times and had his arms hanging. He could have a fat year to replenish his work so that he could only use this hard bone to carry on bigger things next year.
