Chapter 102: 099 Wind and Rain
Bai Xiaosheng's first formal contact with an investor.
This matter is worth remembering.
Therefore, Yu Xing mentioned it briefly after returning to the company and decided to hold another meeting the next day, both to chat about the process of communicating with the investor and to review Bai Xiaosheng's operations during this period.
That night, he also told Liu Wan Ying about his communication with Xu Xin.
"Hey, I've become your consultant?" Liu Wan Ying found it very funny. He really didn't know what role he was playing in others' eyes.
"Although there is no name of a consultant, there is the reality of a consultant," Yu Xing said very seriously. "If you are willing to come to Bai Xiaosheng, my office can be given to you."
Liu Wan Ying thought about the office layout in the Bai Xiaosheng company and replied solemnly: "Flattered, the only office in the company is indeed precious."
"Hey, who wouldn't say so." Yu Xing asked about a private matter, "Has the senior sister-in-law entered the delivery room? When can the little junior sister meet everyone?"
"Not sure, but it's tonight. I was just thinking about her name just now," Liu Wan Ying laughed. "I want her name to also be taken from the 'Chu Ci'."
Yu Xing noticed the word used: "Also?"
"Yeah, my name is," Liu Wan Ying explained. "'Huai Wan Yan Zhi Hua Ying', Wan Yan generally refers to beautiful jade, Wan Yan Zhi Hua Ying, well, it's the most beautiful jade among beautiful jade."
Yu Xing was surprised: "So your name is Liu Meiyu?"
Liu Wan Ying: "..."
Yu Xing waited for five seconds and didn't see any movement, so he called out: "Meiyu, Meiyu, where are you?"
"It's okay, I vomited a mouthful of blood and just wiped it off," Liu Wan Ying put away her mood to kill and said, "I thought of a name for her from 'Yu Se Pi Yi Wan Yan Xi, Jing Chun Cui Er Shi Zhuang'. Can you guess what it is?"
Yu Xing didn't know which characters they were listening to the sound on the phone, and guessed a little: "Liu Yuyan?"
Liu Wan Ying said triumphantly: "Guessed wrong!"
She revealed the answer: "Called Zhuangzhuang!"
This time it was Yu Xing's turn to be silent: "..."
"This is a nickname! It's already decided!" Liu Wan Ying laughed. "The big name, leave it to the two of them to discuss, but I have firmly opposed a vision of my brother's. He wants to name her Liu Rendong."
Yu Xing could understand this time: "Then you can just call her Liu Jinyinhua. Hmm, Rendong, Rendong, it just so happens that winter is here. This name has quite a meaning—tenacious, not afraid of difficulties."
Rendong is the scientific name for honeysuckle.
"No wonder he's his disciple, the rhetoric is the same," Liu Wan Ying said unhappily. "I've already sent a text to my Sister Rong, this name must not be used, for a girl."
"Anyway, no matter how it's taken, it's my little..." Yu Xing stopped here and laughed twice.
Is it little junior sister or little niece?
Liu Wan Ying only heard half of it and almost subconsciously thought of the word he wanted to connect later, suddenly turning to the main topic: "You met Xu Xin, what is her demeanor?"
"What demeanor?" Yu Xing recalled for a while and mused, "Don't know, I think it's hard to say. Anyway, I'm a person with nothing to lose."
Liu Wan Ying imagined: "Then I really want to know how she evaluates your demeanor."
"What demeanor can I have," Yu Xing didn't take it seriously. "I just care about whether she can invest, whether she can contact again. However, without Xu Xin, I still have Xiao Ying."
Liu Wan Ying said "Hmm" and said slowly: "Wait until Sister Rong's side is stable, then I'll fly to Xiangjiang, things will be more convenient."
Yu Xing's spirit was lifted: "Good, let's take the senior sister-in-law giving birth as the signal!"
Liu Wan Ying was just about to speak when she saw the delivery room door open, and her brother greeted it, followed by a smile, mother and daughter are safe.
She stood up and said hurriedly: "The signal has sounded, keep in touch."
Yu Xing took a breath, listening to the busy tone of the mobile phone, knowing that the first short-selling had entered the final countdown.
He was stunned for a while, then edited two text messages, one to the teacher and one to the senior sister-in-law, congratulating them on having a second crystallization of love. Naturally, the text messages had no reply for the time being.
Yu Xing, in the middle of the night, thought about Bai Xiaosheng's financing, thought about the short-selling plan, and thought about Xiao Ying.
It's not far from the new year, and I hope to have a good harvest before the new year.
The next morning, Yu Xing followed the ground promotion team to the front line again, intending to observe the employees' work and the potential users' feelings about the website at this time.
Regardless, Bai Xiaosheng already had two workplace topics worth discussing.
Sure enough, unlike the previous promotion at Ctrip, this time facing users, quite a few had heard of Bai Xiaosheng's name, and there were even registered users.
This was still gratifying.
It's just that, before Yu Xing could be gratified, he suddenly received a call from Lu Haiying: Song Yufeng, who had just been discharged from the hospital, was beaten again!
Yu Xing was astonished, immediately returned to the company, and learned the process on the way.
This time it wasn't completely beaten...
Song Yufeng's arm hadn't fully recovered, and the next step was to recuperate. He was discharged from the hospital because he heard that the company was going to hold a discussion meeting this afternoon.
However, arriving at the same time as the steel chairman was a small team from Ctrip delivering a lawyer's letter.
The other party's attitude was poor, and seeing the "troublemaking" Bai Xiaosheng small website opening a company in such a place, their words were full of sarcasm.
Song Yufeng relied on the fact that he had just been discharged from the hospital, belonged to the wounded, and had his girlfriend's eyes watching him, he...
He suffered in the pushing and shoving, could only fall to the ground, and the opposite side saw this and took the same approach, lying in Bai Xiaosheng's office area.
By the time Yu Xing returned to the company, both groups had already gone to the hospital, and there would be uncles going to ask about the situation there.
He listened to Lu Haiying's more detailed description again, only feeling that this matter...
"What's wrong with Brother Feng? It's to let him work hard, not to let him risk his life!"
Lu Haiying evaluated: "Brother Feng seems to be really brave. He possesses the spirit of a master."
Yu Xing pondered again and again, and could only take out his mobile phone to call Kong Huilin, who had followed again, and urged her again to take good care of the steel chairman.
After putting down the phone, he suddenly found that the atmosphere in the company was very calm.
Lu Haiying gave an explanation: "Everyone might have some experience, not as panicked as last time, and this time it's just sending a letter, no computers were smashed."
Yu Xing couldn't laugh or cry and asked: "This is also something gratifying, right?"
Lu Haiying pondered and replied uncertainly: "Should be."
The company had been open for less than three months, and there had already been two conflicts.
It can be counted as... it can be counted as having achieved some results.
Yu Xing didn't need to comfort his colleagues too much, just walked two circles before looking at the lawyer's letter, seeing that it was about the right of reputation.
"Senior brother, how to deal with this?" Lu Haiying asked.
"We should hire a full-time legal affairs person," Yu Xing said thoughtfully. "If we can raise the money for the A round, we will hire. Maybe there will be many such situations next, hmm, this doesn't need to be processed. If there is a lawsuit, then respond to the lawsuit."
However, today seemed to be a letter-receiving day. At noon, there was another lawyer's letter from Pengcheng, which was a long-overdue warning from Zhen Ai Wang.
Yu Xing didn't care too much, just posted both copies on Bai Xiaosheng's internal site, which was considered declaring the website's and his own attitude, and this naturally stirred up some small discussions and dissemination.
Bai Xiaosheng is just a pheasant website, but such a role really seems to want to make some things happen.
The website image needs to be shaped. The three or two sentences of the pinned post can't convince people, and the positive warnings from the parties in the two topics make Bai Xiaosheng's existence a bit concrete.
Yu Xing was waiting for Zhen Ai Wang's payday. If he didn't get his third month's salary, he would send a letter to his former employer.
Li Song, the boss of Zhen Ai Wang, flew to Shencheng.
This time, he was indeed here to see the company's development in Shencheng and exchange with peers, but mainly to have a formal communication about the company's financing with the well-known investor Ms. Xu Xin.
Li Song had chatted with Xu Xin before, but they were not particularly formal.
He came here this time specifically with a letter of intent for negotiations with other investors, wanting to have a formal communication.
Li Song really wanted to push the further development of Zhen Ai Wang and hoped it could become a listed company.
If it weren't for better career achievements, the money earned before starting a business would be enough to achieve personal financial freedom, but he believed that life needs to face greater challenges to be more meaningful.
Right, laugh at life's challenges!
January 3rd, 5:00 PM, husband and wife met.
"Very busy, Xu Zong," Li Song joked with his wife happily.
"It's really busy. 'Qunar' wants financing, I'm still hesitating, but the other two are more interested," Xu Xin answered very seriously. "In addition, I have some differences with them on valuation. Let's see. It might not be done before the new year."
Company financing, some are extremely rapid, some are tug-of-war. "Qunar's" third round involves at least four institutions, and their opinions are more or less different, so the time might have to be dragged back.
"You won't have a dinner party tonight, will you?" Li Song didn't intend to delay his wife's work. "If you have something to do, go ahead. I also have to visit peer companies."
Xu Xin subconsciously wanted to ask about Bai Xiaosheng, whose headquarters was in Shencheng, but immediately realized that he was talking about Century Jiayuan, which was also here.
She thought for a while and said: "Nothing tonight. I guess I'll be busy all day tomorrow, and busy for the morning the day after tomorrow. You came here purely to find peers?"
Li Song said with a smile: "Can't I find you?"
Xu Xin roughly knew what the path was and also laughed: "Of course you can. Then the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, I'll invite Mr. Li to visit my office."
Li Song felt this was a good start.
His wife must know part of his goal for coming here, but since she was still willing to chat, there was space.
He put aside public affairs for the time being and had a Western meal together.
The next day, Li Song visited Century Jiayuan, whose headquarters was in Shencheng, and exchanged some views on the changes in the industry market.
At noon on the third day, he had a simple lunch and then rushed to the headquarters of Capital Today with his company's financing letter of intent, receiving a warm reception from the partners here.
Xu Xin's dinner party hadn't ended, and she hadn't arrived yet.
Li Song chatted with the partners for a while and recalled his experience in finance before, only feeling that the world had changed a lot.
At 1:30 PM, the partner had something to do, and Li Song walked into Xu Xin's office.
He put the financing letter of intent he brought on the table in advance, organized his wording in his heart, and stood up to look at the street view outside the window after waiting for a while.
A moment later, Li Song sat in the position Xu Xin often sat in, flipped open Zhen Ai Wang's letter of intent, and a smile appeared on his face.
Really missed the days before starting a business.
The world is mysterious, and he really didn't expect his wife to become a well-known investor.
He shook his head, closed his financing letter of intent, and just as he was about to stand up, he saw that the title page of a document pressed on the table also had the two words "Letter of Intent" exposed.
Li Song curiously took it out and sure enough saw that this was also a "Financing Letter of Intent," and then flipped it open. The first thing he saw was various scribbles.
Obviously, his wife had read and thought about it seriously.
Second look, Bai Xiaosheng?
This company name is a bit familiar.
Third look, the smile on his face suddenly froze!
Bai... Xiao... Sheng??
Li Song was dazed and astonished. Bai Xiaosheng financing letter of intent?
This damn thing is financed to my... my wife??
Li Song's emotions couldn't react completely before he saw the office door pushed open. As soon as he looked up, he saw Xu Xin walking in quickly.
Xu Xin noticed the document on the desk and noticed her husband's already angry expression. She calmly turned around and instructed the secretary: "You go out first. Don't come in unless I call you."
The secretary left silently, roughly knowing that there would be a family storm.
Li Song grabbed the financing letter of intent on the table, tried hard to control his emotions, and threw out three words: "Explain!"
Xu Xin said gently: "It's just that the website wants financing, I didn't invest."
Li Song grabbed the document with his left hand and pointed at the annotations on it with his right hand, asking coldly: "Who wrote this 'have ideas' on it? Is it that you didn't invest, or you didn't have time to invest?!!"
"You calm down. This is Bai Xiaosheng coming to the door, not me going to invest in it," Xu Xin comforted.
"You let me calm down? Wow, Bai Xiaosheng, my god!" Li Song let go, let the document fall on the table, and said laughingly and angrily, "Do you know what it did?"
"Do you know it ruined two rounds of my financing??"
"Hey, Xu Zong, Xu Zong, this is what you know!"
"Fine, fine, fine, you tell me now, you think this project is good, you want to consider investing??"
"My god, what are you doing?"
Li Song's emotions couldn't be controlled, and he issued consecutive questions.
Xu Xin frowned and emphasized again: "It came to the door, I didn't invest!"
"It came to the door? Can't you blast it out?" Li Song glared at his wife, "Are you that generous?"
Xu Xin opened her mouth but didn't say anything. She blasted it, but it didn't go away...
Seeing his wife's expression, Li Song was even angrier in his heart: "You accepted its letter of intent, you read it and annotated it. Why didn't you tell me? On the phone, when you met, why didn't you mention a word??"
"I was afraid you would think too much," Xu Xin said calmly. "Besides, this is work."
"Work? Work? Oh, work." Li Song repeated three times, "This is the work of a well-known investor. Fine, fine, fine, you don't even invest 500 in me, and now you say your work is to give him 5 million?"
He was already out of anger and his voice broke: "5... million??"
He interrupted Xu Xin, who wanted to speak, and continued to break his voice: "5 million... US dollars???"
Xu Xin sighed: "You are too emotional. Can you sit down and chat?"
"I want to go public, and he broke my leg. You don't let me be emotional??" Li Song remained emotional but instinctively found a gap, "You should invest in me!"
Xu Xin looked at her husband, looked at his eyes, actually...
The excitement inside seemed to have disappeared a lot.
She said slowly: "We have discussed this issue before. You are not profitable enough, so I won't invest."
Li Song's anger, which had just fallen, suddenly rushed up again, grabbed the document on the table: "This newly established company, can it make money? Is it profitable enough??"
Xu Xin shook her head: "So, I didn't invest."
"Will you invest later?" Li Song asked.
Xu Xin hesitated for two seconds and said: "I haven't thought about it yet."
Li Song laughed angrily: "Fine, fine, fine, what a 'haven't thought about it yet'!"
He pressed the letter of intent on the table, picked up his company's copy, and walked directly out of the office.
Xu Xin only felt a headache. This matter still needs to be discussed carefully.
Just as she sorted out her emotions, the phone rang.
"Hey, Xu Zong, I simply looked at the situation of that Bai Xiaosheng."
Even though Xu Xin had experienced wind and rain, her head couldn't help but ache again when she heard it was Bai Xiaosheng, and she interrupted: "Just tell me your conclusion."
A firm voice came from the other end of the phone: "One word, invest!"
One word,
Ache!
Xu Xin couldn't help but rub her temples, this... ===== CHAPTER 103 =====
Pain!
Xu Xin couldn't help but rub her temples, this...
