Chapter 1177 Is Somewhat Familiar
Ballroom.
As the host, Li Dong naturally didn't have time to wander around with the two little girls.
Some guests have already come, not everyone is the finale, some businessmen, it is normal to come one step ahead and make some contacts.
Qian Jiajia and Feng Tingting followed Yuan Chengdao and the others into the arena, and Yuan Chengdao and Liu Hong didn't have time to accompany them either.
They also heard just now that these two people are not very familiar with Li Dong, so naturally they will not delay their business to accompany them.
On the other hand, Wang Xin, there are too many bosses here, and as the director of Weibo, he has nothing to do for the time being.
In addition to knowing the boss, Wang Xin naturally served as the receptionist.
After all, Wang Xin has been an entrepreneur for many years, and his social experience is much richer than that of Feng Tingting and the others.
Just a few words and a simple chat, and they got a clear understanding of their details.
When the two girls just graduated from university this year and founded a small website after graduation, and now they came to seek financing, Wang Xin suddenly had a feeling of deja vu.
If you think about it carefully, isn't this a replica of yourself?
Once, he gave up his studies and returned to China to start a business. He also sought financing everywhere, begging his grandpa to sue his grandma to find investors everywhere.
In many cases, it is impossible to even enter the gate.
In the past few years, his career has been difficult and every step has been difficult, but it is still much better than when he first started his business.
Now that he suddenly encountered two fledgling little girls, Wang Xin felt a little more sympathetic and understanding.
After chatting for a few words, Wang Xin said: "Although you have entered the market, there are quite a few investment institutions here today, but the main purpose of everyone is still for Weibo.
And don't think that the bigger the organization, the bigger your hopes.
In fact, quite the opposite.
Your website is not well-known, and you have just graduated yourself. Those large institutions generally don't waste time on these small projects.
Even if there is a prospect, these institutions will not put their minds on you for this.
Therefore, at today's reception, the possibility of you winning the favor of capital is very low. "
When Feng Tingting and the two heard this, their hearts suddenly turned cold.
Feng Tingting also knew Wang Xin's name just now. Although she didn't know the specific position, it didn't matter.
Seeing that Wang Xin is not too old, Feng Tingting quickly said: "Brother Wang, what should we do?
If we run out of money, the site will shut down.
When building the website, we ran out of capital, and now everyone is doing it for free without salary.
But it’s okay not to pay wages for a while, but after a long time, we even have problems eating.
The website, I'm afraid it won't last long. "
Since Wang Xin started, of course he also wanted to help the two of them.
He is not a good old man. The key point is that these two are young, and they are still women. At any time, women have a bit of an advantage, at least they are not disgusting. Of course, that is when they are of equal appearance.
In addition, although the two of them are not very familiar with Li Dong, they are somehow related.
For whatever reason,
A little help is not a big problem.
Seeing that Feng Tingting was nervous, Wang Xin glanced at Li Dong who was not far away, and said in a low voice, "You and Mr. Li should be considered acquainted, right?"
Feng Tingting glanced at Qian Jiajia. Qian Jiajia was a little embarrassed, but she still said, "I know you."
"That's easy, Mr. Li has nothing to do tonight.
But he has to entertain some guests and walks around the room.
You keep an eye on Mr. Li, and when you see that he has contacts with the heads of some medium-sized capital institutions in China, you should find an opportunity to go over and have a chat with Mr. Li.
Remember, if you pretend to be familiar, you have to be seen by others.
Then I turned around and chatted with those investment institutions, and said that Mr. Li is optimistic about your project..."
Wang Xin pointed a few words, but Qian Jiajia said nervously: "This...isn't this a lie?"
Wang Xin rolled his eyes, a young man is a young man, you will not fool around, why should capital institutions value you, why should they invest in you?
Li Dong's vision is recognized in the industry.
What's wrong with a few words of foolishness, is there still someone to confront Li Dong?
Even if Li Dong knew about this, he probably wouldn't say anything, and he didn't say anything. If you believe it yourself, he won't bother to care about whether others will pay or not.
Of course, Wang Xin still added a sentence: "You can't say it too obviously, just mention it a little bit, it's enough to be specious, understand?"
"this……"
While Qian Jiajia was still hesitating, Feng Tingting said hastily: "Thank you, Brother Wang for your guidance, we understand, we will definitely treat Brother Wang to dinner later."
"You're welcome, then go around on your own, I still have something to deal with.
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, starting a business is really difficult! "
Wang Xin said with emotion, shaking his head and leaving with full of regret and ending.
In the past, he was also one of Feng Tingting and the others, but unfortunately, he was really only one step away from success. If he didn't regret it, how could it be possible.
Even in Weibo now, he is considered an executive level, with a high salary and stock options.
But back then, if he had money, he wouldn't have sold Xiaonei. At this time, in the Internet industry, he could be considered a small-scale tycoon.
After Wang Xin left, the two walked around the banquet hall cautiously.
After watching for a while, Qian Jiajia suddenly exclaimed in a low voice: "Tingting, that's not from Dongda University.
Senior? "
Feng Tingting followed her gaze, then pinched Qian Jiajia, and said in a low voice, "Don't be surprised, okay, it's normal for Senior Brother Yu to be here, and his Touniu wants to raise money, so why make a fuss?" of.
Where is your attention? I didn't see that there are so many talented people here today.
I just saw Mr. Cao from Sina, and I heard that Mr. Li from Baidu is also coming. Compared with them, Brother Yu is just a beginner, and we are not as good as beginners.
Also, Li Dongcai is the biggest boss, okay?
Are you stupid? At this time, you should find an opportunity to strike up a conversation with Li Dong. Fortunately, you still have a relationship with him.
If it were me, I would have already made a fortune through this relationship.
By the way, what is the relationship between your mother and Li Dong? "
Feng Tingting was a little curious, so she couldn't help asking.
Qian Jiajia blushed slightly, looked at Li Dong who was talking and laughing not far away, and said in a low voice after a while: "My mother... my mother works as a nanny at Mr. Li's house..."
Feng Tingting was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, and Qian Jiajia felt a little inferior when she saw this, "I... It's not that I didn't want to tell you, the main reason is..."
Before she finished speaking, Feng Tingting squeezed her fist, gave her a light thump, and said angrily, "Say it earlier!
Are you stupid!
If I knew it was the relationship, why are we still here?
You should take the opportunity to visit Li Dong's house, you idiot!
What a relationship, you can't take advantage of it at all!
You go to his house and see your mother, can't he even accept this?
I'm so mad that I'm still blocking people with you today, what a brain you have, I'm really going crazy.
Also, the aunt has such a close relationship with him, why hasn't he revealed some gossip at home?
Just listen to a few words, let's send it too!
We made a fortune when we didn't watch the heavy snow last time. If I had known it was the news from him, I wouldn't have to go bankrupt and do it! "
Feng Tingting was very angry, but Qian Jiajia didn't care too much about it, and whispered: "Tingting, my mother is just a nanny..."
"What happened to the nanny!"
Feng Tingting knew what she meant, frowned and said: "It's not something shameful, there's nothing to be ashamed of.
If it were me, if my mother had been his nanny, it would have been publicized by the whole world.
This guy... Cough cough, Mr. Li is a business leader, we have this relationship, pulling the tiger's skin to pull the banner, the effect is absolutely full.
Besides, why do we work hard to start a business, not to achieve some achievements.
When you make money and become a boss, if you are reluctant to not have your aunt, then let her resign and live a good life at home. This is not all a matter of words.
Boss Li's relationship is not in vain, and he doesn't care anyway.
Besides, we didn't do anything bad, so what are you afraid of? "
After hearing this, Qian Jiajia said after a while, "Tingting, what you said seems quite reasonable."
"nonsense!"
Feng Tingting rolled her eyes, pulled her towards Li Dong's side, and said as she walked, "Go get in touch, be more polite, call Dong Ge, understand?"
;"ah?"
"Ah, what, didn't you hear him call Auntie Zhang? It's just right for you to call him Brother Dong."
"Not so good……"
"Just listen to me!"
"..."
...
"Mr. Li, this is, Mr. Vern, this is Sequoia's md..."
Li Dong has a big head today, and there are a bunch of foreigners' names, but this is a formal occasion, and even the names and surnames have to be reported once.
In addition, the foreigners who came this time do not speak Chinese well, so they can only communicate through translators.
Among other things, just the name, Li Dong was dumbfounded.
His English level is average, unlike Lao Ma, that guy has been an English lecturer.
But Li Dong didn't care. Although Lao Ma was good at English, he was an idiot in mathematics, so Li Dong beat him up.
At least the old horse is not as good at calculating accounts as he is. No wonder the old horse often says that he doesn't know how much money he has, because he can't figure it out.
Joking aside, Li Dong greeted warmly with a smile on his face: "My friends, you are all welcome. I hope everyone can have a pleasant experience tonight."
He couldn't call out his name, and he didn't bother to call out. He called friends, which made a few foreigners laugh.
The so-called md is generally the term of the investment bank in Europe and the United States. If it is changed to Chinese, it is the boss of the investment department.
It has to be said that several investment banks and VCs still attach great importance to Yuanfang this time, and the bosses of the departments have all come.
Past investments in...
Well, they generally have a branch in Huaxia, and people from the headquarters usually don't come here. When a few mds come, I don't know whether they attach great importance to them or generally.
Anyway, Li Dong felt that these people were quite sincere.
Otherwise, he would not bother to say hello to a few small shrimps.
People from Sequoia and idg headquarters came, and Xiong Xiaoge and Shen Nanpeng were also by their side.
Of course, the status of these two people is not low, even in front of several mds, they are also generous, chatting and laughing happily, and their aura is no weaker than that of them.
Only then did Li Dong roughly understand that he had misunderstood.
The Huaxia branch is much more independent than imagined. They are just partners, not subordinates. Even if the big boss of their headquarters comes, the two can be treated equally.
Through the translator, I chatted with a few foreigners
.
Then Li Dong handed them over to Liu Hong, and he turned to communicate with Shen Nanpeng and the two of them: "You two, speaking of it, we are one.
Don't turn your elbows out, you have the priority for this quotation.
But it's just the right of priority, the quotation is too low, and the right of priority doesn't belong to you.
What's the matter, you can't be less than 2.5 billion U.S. dollars, at least let others see, we don't have confidence in ourselves, do we still expect others to quote high prices? "
Shen Nanpeng laughed, communicating with Li Dong was sometimes troublesome, but sometimes it was quite interesting.
After Li Dong finished speaking, Shen Nanpeng said with a smile: "President Li, don't worry, we know that.
And the mds who came this time all have great authority.
Especially on the idg side, jayden is a direct relative of Mr. McGovern and has a lot of say in idg.
For Xiaoge's snacks, it's not a big problem to report 2.5 billion US dollars. "
Xiong Xiaoge didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Is this appropriate? Besides, I actually think that about 2.1 billion US dollars is what we expected, and the one-time price increase is so much..."
Xiong Xiaoge shook his head, feeling that it was quite difficult.
The pre-financing quotation of 2.1 billion US dollars, even if Weibo includes option shares, it really spreads to 10 US dollars per share.
This time, the newly issued 50 million share capital can raise at least 500 million US dollars, which has reached the previous expectation.
If it really wants to reach 2.5 billion, the 50 million shares will not be 500 million US dollars, at least it will be nearly 700 million US dollars.
After the second round of financing, the total valuation of Weibo reached 3.2 billion US dollars, which is very difficult.
It is a lot more than before, and foreigners are not really stupid people with a lot of money.
Several people chatted for a while, Li Dong sent them away, just about to go to another place, suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Mr. Li."
Li Dong turned his head and took a look, seeing that it was the two girls from before, he smiled and said: "I'm neglecting, I just happened to be a little busy, and I didn't find time to entertain you."
"Mr. Li, don't be polite to us." Feng Tingting laughed, and pushed Qian Jiajia again.
Qian Jiajia blushed and whispered, "Brother Dong."
Li Dong laughed, didn't mind, nodded and said: "Aunt Zhang often talks about you, you are Aunt Zhang's pride, you are better than me, you came from a 985 university, and now you just graduated and started a business, it is not easy.
I know how hard it is to start a business.
If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. If you can't help with big things, you can still help with small things. "
Feng Tingting was overjoyed when she heard the words, and Li Dong spoke better than expected!
Seeing that Qian Jiajia was stupid and didn't know how to speak, Feng Tingting hurriedly said: "Brother Dong, we just left school and don't understand anything.
It's just a few classmates getting together..."
Feng Tingting took advantage of the situation and changed her address. Li Dong didn't think she was snobbish, but thought that this girl should be good at doing business.
Aunt Zhang's daughter, on the other hand, looks a bit introverted, maybe because she just graduated, but she is not as powerful as Aunt Zhang said.
Of course, the hearts of parents in the world, and the children in the eyes of parents, are naturally the best, and Li Dong can understand.
At first, Li Dong just listened to it casually, after all, it was just a stuff made by a few fresh graduates.
To put it nicely, it’s called entrepreneurship, but to put it bluntly, it’s fun!
Every year, there are 800,000 college students who start their own businesses, if not 1 million. Only a few people out of a million will be able to succeed in the end.
After all, Qian Jiajia has something to do with him, and Li Dong takes care of those around him.
Aunt Zhang, the nanny, takes care of the two children alone, and also undertakes the housework of Li Dong's family. Li Dong also approves of Aunt Zhang.
It's not that he is stingy and reluctant to invite people.
Aunt Zhang said that she can do it alone, so that Li Dong doesn't have to hire any more. Li Dong knows that Aunt Zhang may be afraid of competition.
But they did a good job and didn't delay anything, so they just let it go, and until now it's just such a nanny.
After getting along for a long time, there will naturally be more feelings.
Qian Jiajia is her daughter, and it's only human to take care of her a little bit.
But as he listened, Li Dong suddenly frowned.
The girl in front of me, whose name I don't know yet, said something so familiar to me?
It sounded so familiar, Li Dong wondered if he remembered it wrong.
This thing was created by these girls?
Or is there already a precedent, but I just didn't pay attention?
For a while, Li Dong was a little distracted. 19
