Chapter 41 041. It’s good to have a baby. After death, someone will kneel in the coffin
Time goes backwards, an hour and a half ago.
Xu Daqiang sat in the private room of the tea house, looking at the tea master who was making tea for him with rather unscrupulous eyes.
The tea artisan in traditional Chinese cheongsam looks good.
only…
When the eyes of the middle-aged rich man fell on the chest of the other party, he showed a slightly disappointed expression.
But he didn't talk to him, and watched the news on the WAP network on his mobile phone with a cigarette between his hands.
Soon, a call came to Li Hao's cell phone.
After a few replies, Li Hao covered the phone and said:
"Uncle, that person is here."
"Well, then you go and pick it up."
"good."
Li Hao walked out, and soon, two men who looked about forty years old walked in with polite smiles.
When he saw Xu Daqiang, the slightly fatter middle-aged man put his hands together and bowed:
"Haha, brother Xu, I'm sorry, I'm late, I'm really sorry."
Hearing this, Xu Daqiang waved his hands, looking casually:
"It looks like it does."
Then, he set his sights on the middle-aged man with glasses and short hair behind him.
"Ancient board, right?"
As soon as he stretched out his hand, the middle-aged man surnamed Gu quickly took a step forward, holding Xu Daqiang's hand with both hands in a lower posture:
"Hi Mr. Xu, I'm Gu Yongqiang. Nice to meet you for the first time."
But this time, Xu Daqiang's attitude was much more enthusiastic:
"Oh, don't be so polite. Come, come, sit down."
After greeting the two to sit down, he started to smoke.
The chubby man took it, but Gu Yongqiang took it politely, picked up the lighter on the table and bent over to light Xu Daqiang's cigarette.
Xu Daqiang waved his hand again:
"Ah, say it all, don't be so polite. Do it yourself~"
"Well…"
Now, Gu Yongqiang was a little uncertain.
This one... is a little too polite.
Could it be...not the right owner?
No, the real master’s surname is Xu...
Gu Yongqiang came today to attract investment. Or in other words, the investor next to him told himself that there is an investor here who wants to invest in your project, so come and meet him.
Gu Yongqiang is naturally happy.
Because everyone who works on the Internet knows that running a website, whether it is venue, bandwidth, or server, actually requires real money.
Among other things, the hypothetical servers in various places are a big expense.
And fortunately, he has already received an initial funding.
It was his boss before leaving, the founder of Sohu, Mr. Zhang Zhaoyang, who used his connections to help him raise three million dollars.
Logically speaking, it is enough.
But it is only enough, and some places still have to live tight.
But three million is not without cost...
After I stepped down as the president and CEO of Sohu, although the boss helped him raise the start-up capital, I don’t know who passed it on, saying that I had prepared a project. Very high, the starting point is 10 million.
The so-called uncleanness refers to the messy things like idea stealing common to Internet companies.
But the problem is that Gu Yongqiang has stepped down as the president of Sohu for more than a year, in order to accompany his wife to study in the United States.
Where did the term "unclean" come from?
As for the threshold of 10 million, it is even more outrageous.
It is precisely because of this rumor that no one cares about his project at all, and when he takes the initiative to seek investment, some investment companies will also take into account Sohu's current strength, and they are really afraid that the project will be dirty and offend the other party, so give Money is just a matter of appearance.
Although this can also raise money, the problem is...Gu Yongqiang himself came out of Sohu. Sohu went public in the U.S. in 2000. Before the listing, the board of directors at that time almost emptied Zhang Zhaoyang due to continuous losses, and even developed to the point where a secret board meeting was held to replace Zhang Zhaoyang.
If the former boss hadn’t found the company’s largest shareholder and convinced the other party thoroughly, then Sohu wouldn’t say anything about the company’s surname now.
So, from then on, Gu Yongqiang firmly believed that in his company, first, there should be no "diversified" shareholders, and second, he must never give these shareholders great rights.
So his thinking is doomed that he will not be favored by many investors, because the cake of the Internet is... too big. Shareholders who are used to a lot of money can't stand his restrictive conditions at all. When people invest in you, they want to make money. Who will give you money and have to act like a grandson?
Adding the inexplicable "ten million" rumors, he now feels a bit in a dilemma.
At this moment, the investor beside him suddenly said that he wanted to introduce a local tycoon to him, and this local tyrant was not for investment. And, when people heard that they invested tens of thousands of dollars, they didn't care at all...
So here comes the problem.
It's not for investment, why does he ask him?
It doesn’t matter if you have money or not. People can “hear” about their so-called “investment threshold” and still ask themselves out, which shows that they are at least sincere, and they won’t be fooling themselves.
But what exactly is this guy going to do?
Amid such doubts, the tea master brought the tea, and the fat middle-aged man next to him acted as an introducer, and said to Xu Daqiang with a smile:
"Brother Xu was very profitable last year, right? Last year's coal seemed to be more than 900 tons?"
"It's so good~ just play around."
Xu Daqiang smiled and waved his hands:
"It's just earning hard money. It can't be compared with you intellectuals. You rely on your brains, but you can only rely on hard work."
"Hahaha, what brother Xu said, I really feel ashamed, brother."
The fat middle-aged man said, looking at Gu Yongqiang:
"Brother Xu is engaged in industrial coal mines, what about his strength... Needless to say, it is not a problem to buy half of Yanjing City."
"..."
Gu Yongqiang's mouth twitched...
Xu Daqiang also rolled his eyes:
"Hey! It's half of it... It's hard to buy a toilet... Go and go, every day it doesn't seem like Brother Xu has money or Brother Xu has mines... That, old man."
"Mr. Xu, don't be so polite, just call me Yongqiang or Xiaogudu."
"Ah, that won't work, Ni is a scholar ~ not that... the old American foreign student?"
"Well…"
Xu Daqiang doesn't speak Mandarin...or to be precise, he speaks Mandarin in northern Shaanxi, and it sounds a bit difficult for him to listen.
I don't know how to reply for a while.
Can only keep smiling.
"Well, Diwa also wants to send him to study abroad... My baby doesn't like it, so I can't get used to that steak. Now I'm studying in that... Film Academy, and my husband quite likes him."
"Well…"
Gu Yongqiang was a little confused.
His son is only in junior high school...not yet in college.
Although I can understand Mr. Xu's concern for his son, but...have you ever heard of a famous university in China called "Film Academy"?
Where did the Pheasant University come from?
And... shouldn't we talk about investment, talk about prospects and so on.
How did you bring up the child?
"Yongqiang."
"Well…"
"How old is Muddrop Baby?"
"…twelve."
"Twelve? Ah, Xiaodi is very big."
Xu Daqiang waved his hand:
"It's almost the time when it's hard to take care of. In two years, Naiqiu will fight against you every day. It's unbearable to be difficult!"
"Uh... indeed, my son has entered the rebellious period now. How do you deal with it, Mr. Xu?"
"Responsible? Response to a savage? Disobedient, beat him with a belt!"
Xu Daqiang obviously scoffed at Gu Yongqiang's ideas, and said with his own experience in educating his two sons:
"Baby is not afraid of beating, do you understand? If you don't obey, you can beat him! ... But it doesn't seem like a dead hand, you just hit the back, the ditch. Twice, I don’t remember twice, hit three times! If you dare to learn bad things, hit them! If you talk back to your teacher at school, you will also hit them! If you don’t study hard... Oh, it’s okay if you don’t study well, and it’s okay if you fall in love. Anyway, he dares to ask for anything else The eight beams (raise the bar) beat him!...Beatings are killing a sheep to eat, everything will be fine. Especially boys, if you don’t beat them, you won’t succeed~”
"..."
To be honest, Gu Yongqiang is a little confused now.
Because he really doesn't know what this guy is talking about. On the one hand, it's hard to listen, and on the other hand...Brother, aren't we here to talk about investment?
Even if it’s a polite way of saying it, it’s time to get to the point, right?
You always talk about Nidiba... No, what are your children doing?
Although we talked like this, it sounds like this guy is quite real...
But…
While he was speechless wondering if the other party had something to say, he suddenly heard the big boss sigh quietly:
"However... Ni also needs to let the baby know that the mud is tired~ Do you understand? In this way, the baby can be taught to be filial, not to be bad, and not to go astray~"
"Well…"
"How many children are there in the Ni family?"
Gu Yongqiang understood this and said:
"one."
"Ah! Is one enough? In the future, when you die, just let a baby kneel down for you in the coffin?"
"Well…"
Brother, why are we talking about kneeling in the coffin again?
"I'm having a baby, listen, I'm having a baby, no matter if it's a boy or a girl, follow my brother to be my companion."
"..."
Let alone.
Although I feel a little ridiculous.
But Gu Yongqiang gradually became kind to this big boss who met for the first time, although he looked like an ordinary farmer.
Not to mention anything else, at least compared to the hideous appearance of those investors when they talked about their interests, this kind of down-to-earth speech sounds really comfortable.
So, he smiled and nodded:
"Well, you reminded me, I have to go back and discuss it with my wife... I really need it when the time comes, please come and drink with Mr. Xu."
"If you want to drink, if you want to drink, you must drink."
Xu Daqiang is also happy, but he doesn't know whether he likes children or drinking wedding wine.
Take out the cigarettes from the cigarette case again, and after dispersing them, he said:
"Lack of money?"
"..."
Gu Yongqiang's hand to light a cigarette suddenly trembled.
Subconsciously raised his head and looked at the man whose eyes were hidden in the smoke...
Maybe it's the goodwill, or something else.
After hesitating for a while, he nodded:
"Um."
"How much is missing?"
"…good."
"It's okay, how much is missing?"
"..."
Gu Yongqiang took a puff of the cigarette, and after exhaling the smoke, he sat up slightly and said:
"The more the better. But...Mr. Xu...you are an honest person, and I don't play tricks with you. I only accept investment in my company, but I will not sell any authority of Yiying's management. Shareholders only enjoy Dividend rights, and if subsequent shareholders sell their shares, I will be the first repurchase party..."
"Ah, don't say such incomprehensible words, ten million, do you want it?"
"Yes! ... of course, but ..."
"Okay, then I will vote 10 million."
"..."
No, brother, what are we talking about?
You... you just voted?
Perhaps seeing his doubts, Xu Daqiang waved his hand:
"He and Jianjun have been friends for many years. He said that Nidi Internet is good, and he won't lie. He said... If he really lied, spending 10 million to recognize this person seems to be profitable."
Hearing this, the chubby middle-aged man smiled and nodded.
Obviously agree with this sentence.
And a little flattered...
Obviously, these words are a bit false, but in front of Gu Yongqiang, these words helped him erect that kind of "prestige".
And when Gu Yongqiang was still a little dazed, he saw that Mr. Xu's expression suddenly changed, becoming extremely serious:
"But there is a request... Do you want to listen?"
"..."
