Chapter 93: 091 First Shelling (5k)

In Jin Ling at the end of November, the night was already quite chilly.

After saying goodbye to the teacher's family, Yu Xing did not return to the hotel immediately, but bought three cans of beer from a convenience store, took a taxi to the Qinhuai River nearby, and enjoyed the night view while blowing the night breeze.

However, before he finished one can of beer, Liu Wan Ying's call came in.

"Hey! You surnamed Yu! Did you deliberately call me wrong at the dinner table!" Liu Wan Ying's tone was a bit annoyed.

To say a thousand and ten thousand, Yu Xing is her brother's student; the two of them are the two of them, and it is another matter for the family to know.

But she didn't intend to reveal the shorting matter, and for a while, she couldn't make up a good reason.

"You misunderstood me; I just call it that every day, and I got used to it." Yu Xing took a sip of beer and laughed, "But if you have to blame me, that's fine; blame it on the feeling."

Liu Wan Ying listened to his voice and could almost imagine his thick-skinned look, gritting her teeth: "Even if you are used to it, what about the things you bought?! What kind of six small items did you buy!"

Yu Xing was surprised: "Eh? How did the six small items suddenly come out? Xiao Ying, are you confused? Among the things I brought when I entered the door, there were things you asked me to buy. What's wrong with you? The other things were also standard gifts."

Liu Wan Ying was speechless for a while.

Yu Xing continued to laugh: "If I really wanted to buy, I would definitely have to be more generous, don't you think?"

Liu Wan Ying was silent, it seemed to make some sense, it must be more generous, no! What does it have to do with being generous or not!

Yu Xing asked puzzledly: "What's going on? Where did this come from?"

Liu Wan Ying was helpless and slightly described the scene of children's innocence.

Yu Xing used a coaxing tone: "Oh my, Shanshan is really! How can I see people in the future! It's all Shanshan's fault!"

"Don't pretend here!" Liu Wan Ying could almost hear the laughter.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll buy two more pastries and candy tomorrow and have the courier send them to the door. You must tell Shanshan that I bought them for her." Yu Xing laughed, "Little junior sister loves me, and I love little junior sister."

Liu Wan Ying was angry and funny.

Yu Xing squeezed the beer can and invited: "The night view is beautiful today, Xiao Ying, do you want to come out for a walk?"

"Call me Sister Ying!" Liu Wan Ying said angrily, "No! If I go out now, won't they say I eloped!"

Yu Xing followed the trend and invited again: "Sister Ying, come on, it's not late, and the night view is very good."

Liu Wan Ying still refused: "No!"

Yu Xing pondered for two seconds and decided to say three more sentences.

Sometimes, speaking requires some skills.

He said the first sentence: "Sister Ying, I'm very busy recently, and I'll be back in Shencheng tomorrow."

Liu Wan Ying didn't take it seriously: "What does it have to do with me?"

He said the second sentence: "I admire your professional ability very much, and I trust you very much; otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to be a partner."

Liu Wan Ying frowned: "So?"

Yu Xing said the third sentence: "I only cared about being happy when I saw you today, but I forgot to talk to you about one thing. Regarding your 500,000 angel investment, we don't have a specific charter yet. Can we talk about this in person?"

Liu Wan Ying: "..."

This matter was indeed forgotten, and it is indeed better to communicate in person.

Although she resigned from Bain, her work habits and spirit were still there.

Liu Wan Ying thought for a moment and sighed: "Bastard, you did it on purpose, right?"

Yu Xing said calmly: "If you have to blame me, then blame..."

Liu Wan Ying had a headache: "Okay, where are you now?"

Yu Xing reported the location, and then the phone was hung up. He thought about it, didn't open the second can of beer, and planned to wait for Xiao Ying to drink together.

Liu Wan Ying changed her clothes, tied her hair, and applied lipstick thinly.

She walked out of the room, passed through the living room, and saw her brother and sister-in-law still on the sofa, suspected of gossiping.

Liu Wan Ying rolled her eyes and changed her shoes, preparing to go out.

"Liu Wan Ying!" Liu Jingrong called out her full name in time, "Where are you going?"

"Going out for a stroll." Liu Wan Ying said angrily, "Are you afraid I'll get lost?"

Yan Lirong said with a smile: "I wasn't afraid at first, but I'm a little afraid today. Oh my, are you going on a date?"

Liu Wan Ying looked at her sister-in-law, whose eyes were full of gossip, and then looked at her brother, counting: "You two are crazy, you two are really crazy!"

She pushed the door and left.

Liu Jingrong wanted to get up and ask a few questions, but was patted on the sofa by his wife.

"What's wrong with you?" Yan Lirong questioned, "You old stubborn! You are going to have a second child! Your sister doesn't have a boyfriend yet! Yu Xing is not bad, and his career is improving now. What do you want to do?"

Liu Jingrong didn't dare to struggle out of his wife's hand and said helplessly: "Yu Xing is my student..."

"Who said that?" Yan Lirong said with reason, "Did he graduate from your hands? Did he get a degree certificate? What qualifications do you have to be someone's teacher? Look, without you, he is so promising now!"

Liu Jingrong was dumbfounded.

Of course he hoped his disciple would be promising, but the problem is, he is too promising!

Promising to his own head!

This rebellious disciple!

No, not just a rebellious disciple!

Liu Jingrong sat on the sofa and muttered: "Rebellious disciple, this rebellious disciple..."

Liu Wan Ying couldn't hear her brother's muttering behind her back, but she could roughly guess that her brother and sister-in-law would gossip about this for a long time.

People are on the road, and the street scene is receding.

Liu Wan Ying's emotions also fluctuated. The surnamed Yu really found a legitimate reason for her to go out.

She thought seriously about why she didn't communicate with her brother and sister-in-law?

This matter is definitely not as much as they think, but to say there is none...

Is a little bit considered to have, or not?

Whether Liu Wan Ying was in Xiangjiang or returned to Jin Ling, she was relatively happy every time she chatted with Yu Xing on the phone.

Is happiness liking? If you like it, will you be happy?

"Oi, oi! Xiao Ying, here, here!"

Liu Wan Ying heard the shout and saw Boss Yu waving on the side of the road.

She stopped slowly.

"Why did you also come out on an electric scooter?" Yu Xing laughed.

Liu Wan Ying replied concisely: "Convenient."

Yu Xing said with a smile: "There is a good place to see the scenery below. Before you called me, I was sitting here drinking."

Liu Wan Ying was a bit surprised: "In a bad mood?"

"It was because I was in a good mood that I drank." Yu Xing took her not far away and sat on the ground, "Do you want a can?"

Liu Wan Ying sat beside him, looking at the winding and quiet river, and nodded: "Okay, give me a can."

Yu Xing handed his hand over: "Here."

Liu Wan Ying touched it casually, touched an empty hand, immediately threw it away, and said slightly angrily: "Let's go back!"

Yu Xing apologized quickly: "Oh, the lighting here is not good, I can't see clearly, gave the wrong one, gave the hand."

He quickly opened a can of beer and handed it over, cutting into the topic: "The company plans to release 10% of the equity to finance your 500,000. Do you have any opinions?"

Liu Wan Ying "hummed," but still took the beer and took a sip: "Your valuation is expanding fast. In just a month or so, the valuation is calculated at 5 million?"

"Because the start is indeed good." Yu Xing said seriously, "Without water, our current user registration is over 10,000, the average daily registration volume is 400-500, and it will be almost 30,000 by the end of the year."

Liu Wan Ying had objections: "You surnamed Yu, you can't treat people differently. You also know the current environment, and it is not easy to raise funds. Otherwise, you wouldn't be in a hurry to short others. You came to me and talked about the start."

She said: "If I remember correctly, your company is currently counted as 1.9 million. I admit that this start is okay, but it can't be based on a valuation of 5 million; 3 million at most."

Liu Wan Ying also pointed out a problem: "Also, your website is not like the last Gui'ai website that can easily get good cash flow. Is the registered user growth you mentioned sustainable? This still needs to be observed."

"In addition, I must remind you that my willingness to invest is also partly based on my trust in you, and it was not determined today to invest 500,000. I determined it very early; it was you who dragged it until now."

Yu Xing was silent and began to take off his clothes.

Liu Wan Ying looked at the man beside her vigilantly: "What are you doing?"

"The temperature at night is relatively low. Your hands were cold just now. Don't catch a cold after coming out." Yu Xing handed over his coat, "Didn't you catch a cold once before? Pay attention."

"Playing the emotional card with me when talking about financing, right." Liu Wan Ying said dismissively, but took it in her hand. The wind by the river was indeed cooler than she imagined.

Yu Xing admitted: "Yes, there is no card to play, only this way. My warm coat must be worth 1 million."

Liu Wan Ying made a gesture to take it off: "Take it back! It's too expensive, I can't afford to wear it!"

"Okay, okay, okay, wear it." Yu Xing said embarrassedly, "Regarding the financing time, our responsibilities are half and half. What I was busy with before, others don't know, don't you know? Hey, Xiao Ying, I was shuttling through the streets and alleys of Pengcheng to count screens."

Liu Wan Ying said helplessly: "Can you talk about things separately? The company is the company now. You take off your clothes for a while, and talk about screens for a while. What angle should we talk about the value of this 500,000?"

"How about this, Xiao Ying, I don't want to argue with you, let me talk about my views." Yu Xing thought for a moment, "This financing is more out of the execution of our previous agreement. If you had invested according to our startup team's calculation method at that time, the share ratio would have exceeded 20%, which is what I cannot accept."

"Now calculated according to the 10% ratio, it is actually just right. Our website has been initially verified, although it is constantly being adjusted."

"Similarly, you also know what our website is going to do next. Although we don't know the real effect before shelling the internet matchmaking, I have confidence in it."

"Just at the moment of verification, your 500,000 can also be counted as support. If the effect is really verified, the significance of this 500,000 will continue to decline."

"Once the shelling action is successful and the website user scale can accelerate growth, I won't shout like this when I open the price again. Series A financing, the number I hope for is 1 million-2 million US dollars, still in the current sluggish economic situation."

Yu Xing talked eloquently and finally said: "As the old saying goes, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. Bai Xiaosheng is a platform for spreading good things and bad things. Xiao Ying, I think the spread speed in this aspect of the internet is extremely fast."

Liu Wan Ying asked: "All this of yours is based on the success of the shelling."

Yu Xing asked back: "Otherwise, how can it be called venture capital?"

Liu Wan Ying took a few sips of beer and asked: "When will you shell the internet matchmaking?"

"If there are no accidents, I plan to do it at the end of December, that is, after the company's ground promotion is verified for another month." Yu Xing said, "We don't have enough manpower, and the internship period for new employees is very short. We will start pushing to other cities in the first week of next month. If these are no problem, then we can 'win by surprise'."

Those who fight, use the orthodox to engage, and use the surprise to win.

For Bai Xiaosheng, community operation and targeted ground promotion are the orthodox, and the shelling that attracts attention is the surprise.

Liu Wan Ying pondered for a while and had to say that she was somewhat persuaded.

Now that it is calculated, the significance of 500,000 to Bai Xiaosheng is weakening.

But the words just said seemed a bit full, and she needed a step to turn around.

Liu Wan Ying put down the beer and said slowly: "I need a step."

Yu Xing snapped his fingers: "Xiao Ying, help me."

"Okay, I trust you." Liu Wan Ying nodded, "Gui'ai could be sold by you in the end, and you are better in money and people than at that time. I think you can create more company value."

Yu Xing laughed: "Thank you for your praise, Xiao Ying. Remember to pay tomorrow; I want to bring good news back to the company."

Liu Wan Ying turned her head and looked at Yu Xing: "You won't pit me, right? I really haven't been an investor, and my business is not skilled enough."

"How could it be? I wish I could bundle more interests with you." Yu Xing said seriously, "The more our interests are bundled, the more we can trust each other in shorting. Some things are better not to be said separately, don't you think?"

Liu Wan Ying said lightly: "Then congratulations on your company's valuation of 5 million."

Yu Xing laughed: "High five!"

Liu Wan Ying reached out.

Yu Xing grabbed the small hand with his big hand, feeling that the high-five time was slightly longer until Liu Wan Ying exerted force and it ended.

"The teacher didn't say anything, right?" Yu Xing didn't give Liu Wan Ying a chance to attack.

Liu Wan Ying got up: "Let's go back, what could he say?"

"Give me a ride, I'll go back to the hotel." Yu Xing followed behind, "Xiao Ying, I'll try next time..."

He suddenly jammed, next time what...

Liu Wan Ying sat on the electric scooter, watching Yu Xing under the street lamp.

Yu Xing expressed his feelings directly: "Try to really buy the six small items next time."

Liu Wan Ying "cut" and rode back, ignoring the shouting behind her.

Somehow, her mood was still good.

After returning home, Liu Wan Ying walked into the house and happened to bump into her sister-in-law coming out of the room, seeing her surprise.

Yan Lirong's expression turned from surprise to weird, pointing to the clothes on Liu Wan Ying, "cough," and said: "I thought you wouldn't come back tonight. Your brother just wanted to call you."

Liu Wan Ying took off her coat and said calmly: "Talked about some work matters."

"Yes, yes, yes, work is gone, and still have to talk about work matters." Yan Lirong said with a smile, "I understand, I understand, we are all people who have come over, don't worry about your brother."

Liu Wan Ying felt that she really needed to consider opening a consulting company.

She clutched Yu Xing's coat, walked silently to her room, and finally instructed her sister-in-law: "Hurry up and rest."

Yan Lirong also asked the last sentence: "Are you back to get something? Are you going out again?"

Liu Wan Ying waved her hand and drilled into her room.

Yan Lirong muttered two sentences, intending to send Yu Xing a text message of instruction when she had time.

These two people must have something, but it doesn't look like it has reached that level. You have to take action when it's time to take action.

I'll handle the rigid old stubborn!

On the first day of December, as Yu Xing returned to the company to announce the good news of the angel round success, Bai Xiaosheng also ushered in another good news.

Penguin's report on Bai Xiaosheng is out!

The effect is immediate.

Just this day, Bai Xiaosheng's online registration volume rose from the low of around 400 to 700, and it is expected to maintain this rebound momentum in the next few days.

For Bai Xiaosheng now, any growth in registration volume is precious, and it is a bargaining chip for Yu Xing to visit investors and negotiate later.

That night, Yu Xing also received a call from the mole.

"Boss Yu, I resigned from Zhenai today..." Tong Xingjian, a programmer at Zhenai, was a bit uneasy.

"Then come quickly, I'm short of people here." Yu Xing didn't turn his face, but said enthusiastically, "The website is developing well, and it has already received angel round money. I plan to raise Series A in the next six months. Buy a ticket tomorrow."

Tong Xingjian breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, Boss Yu, I'll be there tomorrow!"

Yu Xing knew the informant was back in place, and remembered the reporter from Penguin, asking Song Yufeng: "When is your girlfriend coming? The company is waiting for her to be in charge of business."

Song Yufeng gave the time: "Brother Xing, she is on the flight on Saturday!"

"Okay, I'll welcome her then." Yu Xing was still willing to give the chairman face.

In the next week, the effect of Penguin's report was better than imagined, or perhaps there was spontaneous recommendation from website users, and Bai Xiaosheng's online registration volume climbed to around 1,000.

That is, as of December 7, counting the effect of offline ground promotion, Bai Xiaosheng's total number of users exceeded 20,000.

This speed was much faster than Yu Xing expected.

When he shared with the new shareholder on the phone, Liu Wan Ying mentioned what Yu Xing said before.

"Didn't you say that the spread speed in this aspect of the internet is extremely fast? This also counts as verifying the judgment."

Yu Xing's tone carried a small surprise: "Judgment is one thing, but really doing it is extra happy."

What makes him look forward to it more is that the financing speed of internet companies is also very fast, which corresponds exactly to the development speed.

Perhaps, he can really go and talk to investors before the New Year.

Yu Xing had such thoughts in his mind, and the shelling proclamation in his hand was already eager to move.

The Lunar New Year this year is relatively early, January 25 is New Year's Eve. Counting the holidays before, if you want to contact investors, you can't be later than the middle of the month.

This also means that the justice action can be considered to be advanced.

Yu Xing resisted the impulse, carefully discussed with Zhong Zhiling, arranged the ground promotion small teams in the four cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Hangzhou, and planned to observe for another one or two weeks before taking action.

The threshold for ground promotion itself is not high, but it is not easy to make the ground promotion effect very good.

The team leaders who went from Shencheng to the other four cities had at most half a month of experience, but the college students who had just entered the workplace seemed to have endless energy, and the daily phone feedback was full of enthusiasm.

It's not that there are no problems, but they are all small problems.

The effect from Penguin's report also gradually faded. It brought about 12,000 registered users to Bai Xiaosheng, but judging from the background data, these traffic inflows quickly became sleeping users, as if they were satisfied with curiosity and had no motivation.

On December 20, Song Yufeng noticed that the friend company he had stepped on before had a sarcastic response, but he knew that the company couldn't take care of counterattacking for a while, because, tomorrow, the shelling of internet matchmaking would be launched.

That night, Song Yufeng tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

At 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, he knocked on the boss's door and asked at the door: "Brother Xing, do you think our shelling can be useful?"

"Guaranteed." Yu Xing didn't hesitate, "Justice will prevail."

Justice will prevail!

December 21, nine o'clock in the morning, Bai Xiaosheng website pinned signed article.
