Shenhao: Start with one yuan spike shares

Chapter 117 Zeng Zhaoxiang

When Zhang Yun and Liu Wenwen arrived at the banquet, his three best friends were already waiting outside.

The few of them didn't chat much, they just greeted each other and walked in together.

Zhang Yun and his party walked into the banquet hall and immediately attracted countless eyes.

Those who can come here are all people in the circle, and they meet occasionally. Even if they are not familiar with them, they have seen them before.

Zhang Yun and others were all new faces, and they were all very young, so people at the banquet were quite curious about them.

The person in charge of the banquet, Hu Lei, the president of China Merchants Bank's Magic City Branch, saw Zhang Yun, his eyes lit up, he said to the people around him and went up to him:

"Haha, Mr. Zhang, welcome, welcome."

Zhang Yun also put on a decent smile, shook hands with the other party, and said: "President Hu, long time no see."

"Haha, I haven't seen you for a while, but Mr. Zhang has been doing a lot of things recently, and I often hear news from Mr. Zhang." Hu Lei said with a smile on his face.

Zhang Yun said modestly: "It's just a small fight, not worthy of the Fang family."

……

After the two exchanged polite greetings, Liu Wenwen greeted Hu Lei and said, "Hello, Uncle Hu."

Her father and Hu Lei are friends. Zhang Yun's only loan was brokered by her father, so she and Hu Lei are quite familiar with each other.

Hu Lei then noticed the people behind Zhang Yun and said with a smile: "Haha, Wenwen, you are so beautifully dressed today that my uncle didn't even recognize you. I heard from your dad that you are starting a company recently?"

"Yes, I opened a company in partnership with Zhang Yun and several of his friends. I will need Uncle Hu to take care of me in the future." Liu Wenwen said with a smile.

At this time, she behaved like a lady, speaking softly and elegantly.

It was nothing like her usual bluffing look, and Zhang Yun almost couldn't hold back the gentle monotonous expression on his face.

Hu Lei heard that Zhang Yun was also involved in her company. He was immediately interested and asked, "Oh? What company does it run? Can you tell your uncle about it? Also, could you please introduce some of your companies to your uncle?" Friends?"

Liu Wenwen smiled and gave him an overview of Wuxian Holdings' main business, and introduced Shi Rongjian and others to him.

At this time, a waiter passed by with a tray. Hu Lei slapped his forehead and said sheepishly: "Haha, I'm sorry for blocking you here. Let's go in and talk."

A few people found a sofa and sat down. After one person received a glass of red wine from the waiter, they continued chatting.

After chatting for a while, when Zhang Yun arrived just now, the man who was chatting with President Hu came over with a drink and said hello to President Hu.

Hu Lei introduced to several people: "This is Zeng Zhaoxiang, the major shareholder of Warburg Pincus. Mr. Zeng is one of the organizers of this party. He provided all the drinks and food here."

Only then did Zhang Yun realize that the banquet was not held by China Merchants Bank, but that there were other people participating.

He guessed that China Merchants Bank was only responsible for issuing invitations, and other venues, drinks, etc. were funded by others.

After Hu Lei introduced Zeng Zhaoxiang to Zhang Yun, he introduced him to the other party: "Mr. Zeng, this is Mr. Zhang Yun, the chairman of Shanhai Capital. Haha, his name is not small. You should have heard of it."

"Haha, Mr. Zhang is the richest man born in the 90s, and he has been making a lot of money recently. How could I not know a young talent like him? Mr. Zhang, I have admired him for a long time." Zeng Zhaoxiang said with a smile and stretched out his hand.

"Mr. Zeng is very flattering." Zhang Yun smiled, shook hands with the other party and said.

Hu Lei introduced some of Zhang Yun's friends to Zeng Zhaoxiang, and also introduced a few words about their start-up companies. He repeatedly praised them as young talents with a bright future, which gave Zhang Yun enough face.

Zeng Zhaoxiang originally planned to shake hands with a few people and be polite just for the sake of Zhang Yun and Hu Lei. After all, they were just a few young people who had just started their own business.

But after hearing a few words about Hu Lei’s introduction to Wuxian Holdings, I was immediately interested and couldn’t help but smile to Shi Rongjian:
"Mr. Shi, your father is Mr. Shi Shaohua, right? I know him too, and I heard him talk about you. I didn't expect you to start your own company. Can you tell me about your company in detail?"

He heard that Shi Rongjian was the CEO of Wuxian Holdings, and several others were the heads of the three branches. He thought that Zhang Yun was just an investor, and they were the entrepreneurs, so he asked Shi Rongjian.

“Mr. Zeng, the purpose of our company is actually the shared economy.

It is an economic model that allows multiple people to share resources through sharing, thereby achieving efficient resource utilization and cost savings. It has a very bright future.

Our shared bicycles are one of the representatives of improving resource utilization efficiency. With the emergence of our shared bicycles, we can reduce the number of vehicles, alleviate the car congestion problem in the city, and also reduce environmental pollution.

Our shared offices represent cost savings. Through our platform, everyone can obtain an office environment at a lower price without having to bear the high rent and other expenses of traditional offices. "Shi Rongjian talked eloquently.

He only said so much because he was an investment company and was interested in his company.

Because Zhang Yun does not plan to participate in the next round of financing, he has to make more friends with these investors in advance. Maybe one day these people will become the new shareholders of his company.

"So what's your profit model?" Zeng Zhaoxiang shook the wine glass in his hand and asked the question he was most concerned about.

Shi Rongjian half-truthfully said: "Mr. Zeng, our shared bicycles and shared power banks require a deposit. You are an investor, so you should know what a huge number of users and cash flow means, and there are also rentals and advertising. income.

The start-up capital for our shared office has also been settled. In the future, we only need to use the rent from the previous batch to continue development and expansion step by step. After we develop to a certain level, we will also enter areas such as shared rental. "

After hearing this, Zeng Zhaoxiang was very moved and couldn't help but ask: "Okay, it's a very good idea. Do you need investment? I can invest in you."

He thought Zhang Yun brought Shi Rongjian and others here to attract investment, so he asked this question.

Unexpectedly, he was rejected by Shi Rongjian. He said: "Sorry, Mr. Zeng, Zhang Yun invested several hundred million in us. Our company has just started and we can't spend it all. If you are really interested in our company, wait until we open the A round." We will let you know when financing is available.”

Zeng Zhaoxiang was immediately disappointed. It was hard to find such a promising start-up company. Now that he finally found one, he couldn't even get on board.

You must know that not all investment projects of investment companies can make money. Many investments are actually purely based on blind cats and dead mice. Success every time out of 10 is due to extreme luck.

For high-quality projects like Wuxian Holdings, if you can become an angel investor, you can get a few million dollars. If Wuxian Holdings can develop in the future and achieve the prospects mentioned by Shi Rongjian, the rate of return will be at least dozens of times.

But now Zhang Yun is extremely optimistic about this company and directly invested hundreds of millions in it. When they burn through the money and expand, not only will the competition be fierce, but the return on investment will also be much smaller.

Putting aside the disappointment in his eyes, Zeng Zhaoxiang said with a smile: "That's a pity, but don't forget to notify me of the A-round financing in the future." What he said actually had unspoken preconditions. If in the next five years If Xian's three major subsidiaries can develop, then this statement is naturally true, but if it fails to meet expectations, it is just a polite statement.

Shi Rongjian was not a fool. He naturally understood the meaning behind this, but he still readily agreed: "Definitely."

He agreed, but he didn't agree to inform only one person. When the time comes, the highest bidder will naturally get on the bus. After all, who can't use polite words?

After Zeng Zhaoxiang finished chatting with Shi Rongjian, he said to Zhang Yun: "Mr. Zhang is still so generous, spending hundreds of millions, I admire him!"

In fact, he was also muttering in his mind that such an investment was unreasonable.

How can an angel round investment in a startup company be just a few hundred million?
Normally, no matter how promising a start-up company is, angel round investment ranges from several million to tens of millions.

Because of the large amount of financing from the beginning, the founding team can easily lose control of the company. Capital is not a philanthropist, and investment requires shares.

Generally, in the angel round financing of a company, a small part of the shares is exchanged for a small amount of investment, which is then used to develop the company, increase the valuation, and then make the next round of investment.

This not only avoids losing control of the company quickly, but also allows for more financing with the least shares.

But what he didn't know was that Zhang Yun came up with the idea of ​​Wuxian Holdings, and he was the actual founder. The other people were just partners, but he gave up control of the company.

"I am very optimistic about the prospects of the sharing economy, but the early stage of this field is very expensive. If I deduct Soso, the company will not develop at all. What is the point of my investment?" Zhang Yun was too lazy to tell him the actual situation. , smiling nonsense.

"Haha, that makes sense." Zeng Zhaoxiang agreed with a smile.

He is an investor himself, so naturally he won't believe Zhang Yun's lies. Just now Shi Rongjian was still saying that he couldn't spend all the money, but there is no need to expose it in person and make the situation embarrassing. He has no emotional intelligence at all, and he can't get along. Current net worth.

Hu Lei and Zeng Zhaoxiang stayed here for a while and then left together.

Although Zhang Yun has extraordinary wealth, he can even be said to be the person with the most assets at this banquet.

But they are the organizers of this banquet. They can't just hang around Zhang Yun all the time. There are other guests who need to be entertained.

Moreover, Zhang Yun brought a few friends here, and it seemed that they were here to make connections. It would be annoying for the two of them to be in the way here all the time.

After the two left, Shi Rongjian and the other men did not stay with Zhang Yun. Instead, they took the initiative to find the connections they needed to make.

Shi Rongjian is a local gangster in Shanghai. He actually knows many big guys, but they may not know him, so he is not afraid of not knowing who he should make friends with.

Liu Wenwen did not leave, because she saw many ladies and ladies looking at Zhang Yun for a long time, and she wanted to stay to protect Zhang Yun from the rotten love blossoms.

Today she is Zhang Yun's female companion. If Zhang Yun is seduced in front of someone, she will be embarrassed.

As for whether Zhang Yun is willing?What does that have to do with her?

Because Shi Rongjian was brought here by Zhang Yun, and he himself was not of low status, he was able to make connections at the banquet with ease.

After everyone on Zhang Yun's side left one after another, many people who wanted to get to know him also came over to make friends with him and exchange business cards.

Zhang Yun doesn't refuse anyone who comes. Anyway, he just wants to get to know them. Apart from patience and time, he has nothing to lose, but there are many benefits.

Although he himself is rich, he has risen too quickly, has few connections, and has a shallow foundation. This time he just takes this opportunity to make up for his shortcomings in this area.

In a humane society like China, many things will be much easier to handle if you know the people, and the price you pay will be much smaller.

Although many people who come to know Zhang Yun are not worth one-tenth of his wealth, they are all prominent figures in various fields.

In their own field, Zhang Yun might be able to find someone one day. Money is not everything.

The banquet lasted until after 12 o'clock in the evening. Zhang Yun and a few friends sent out a lot of business cards and received a lot of goods, and the goods were full.

Zhang Yun sent Liu Wenwen home, said good night and turned around to leave.

Liu Wenwen, who was standing at the door and looking at his back, actually wanted to ask Zhang Yun, such a scumbag, why he didn't pursue her in the first place. She was also very beautiful, but she mumbled and didn't ask in the end.

She was worried that if she asked, she would be embarrassed when meeting in the future. She just wanted to prove her charm and it was not worth it.

When Zhang Yun returned to the villa in the city center, everyone in the family was asleep, including the secretary.

Zhang Yun took a shower and returned to the room. The little secretary opened his eyes in a daze and said lazily: "My dear, you are back."

"Well, I woke you up. Hey, why are you not wearing anything?" Zhang Yun lifted the quilt and lay down on the bed, holding her in his arms and saying.

"Waiting for you, I was lying on the bed in vain, and you didn't come back." The little secretary said with some resentment.

"Then I'll make it up to you." Zhang Yun didn't ask where he was going this time and just pressed forward...

……

More than an hour later, the little secretary lay in Zhang Yun's arms, hugged her, and said: "Let you succeed, I finally got into your bed."

"It's as if you didn't sleep in my bed last night." Zhang Yun said speechlessly.

"But we didn't do anything, Su." The little secretary said harshly.

"Anyway, it doesn't count if I'm not on the bed."

……

Zhang Yun chatted privately with the secretary for a while, and then they both fell asleep. It was too late because they didn't score twice.

The next day, Zhang Yun went to the company with two secretaries. It was nothing major. He was just reading the CEO class textbook in the office, handling some company affairs and doing practice while studying.
