Rebirth of the era of struggle

Chapter 529 Shanhai Capital
On the highway towards Qingshan County.

The two girls were sitting in the car with no love at all. The front and back were crowded with traffic. Guan Guanyue yawned. They had been waiting here for more than an hour, and they were a little sleepy.

She rubbed her face and forced herself to cheer up.

"Luo Fang, did your family ask you again?"

Caring about Yue looked at it, and Luo Fang, who was playing with his mobile phone next to him, asked.

Luo Fang also called her family on the way, saying that she would come back by Caring about Yue's car, and along the way, her family made several phone calls.

"Well, I said there was a traffic jam again."

Luo Fang nodded.

"Your family is worried that I will sell you." Caring Moon teased.

Luo Fang immediately retorted: "You still talk about me, the one in your family, who keeps asking about your situation, for fear that I won't abduct you."

Hearing this, Guan Yue smiled happily, looked at the traffic ahead, and said with some whimsy: "If only our car had wings, it would be able to fly past with a whoosh."

"Invent one in the future." Luo Fang laughed.

"I don't have the skills." Guan Guanyue stretched her waist and looked to the right. On the emergency lane, there was a traffic policeman taking pictures and posting a sticker.

Otherwise, she would have received two tickets. After all, his driver's license has not been completed for one year and he is still in the internship period. Logically speaking, he cannot go on the highway.

Waited another 10 minutes or so.

Luo Fang stuck his head out of the window and looked out, then said pleasantly, "It's moving, it's moving."

Hear this.

Caring about the moon also cheered up quickly and put the handbrake down.

The traffic flow finally moved slowly, but the speed was very slow, not much faster than a snail. After a while, Guan Yue realized why the traffic was blocked. At the intersection ahead, a large truck was parked sideways. There is still a white car residue on the front of the big truck. I don't know if it was hit by a sudden change of lane. Judging by the severity of the car accident, there is a high probability that the people on the white car are gone.

"The car accident was terrible."

Luo Fang said.

Caring Moon said: "Don't worry, I'm good at technology."

After passing the road where the accident happened, the speed of the car returned to normal. It was not until 11:30 in the evening that the car finally got off the highway from Qingshan County. Seeing the familiar buildings in his hometown, Caring Yue exhaled and said, "I can buy a ticket next time. Let's go back by train."

I drove back once, and it took nearly twelve hours. Caring month found that it was all asking for trouble. The toll and fuel costs have far exceeded the price of the train ticket for two people. If you take the train, it will take three to four hours. It's here, the high-speed rail and train are faster, if they didn't choose to drive back, they would have already slept at home by now, how could it be as miserable as it is now.

"I think so, next time we will grab tickets in advance."

Luo Fang nodded.

"I'll take you home first."

Caring month drove to Qingshan No. [-] Middle School family home.

Luo Fang also called his family and said that he would be back soon. Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the gate of the family courtyard, and the two girls got out of the car.

Looking at Luo Fang's parents at the gate of the compound, Guan Guanyue said hello, "Hello, Teacher Luo, and hello, Auntie."

"Guan Guan, thank you so much for today."

Luo Fang's father took his daughter's suitcase and said to Guan Guanyue.

Luo Fang's mother also said, "Guan Guan, it's too late today, you should hurry home and come to Auntie's tomorrow, and I'll make you something delicious."

"Thank you, Auntie, shall I go now?"

It's getting late.

Comrade Lao Guan was also waiting at home, and Guan Yue didn't dare to say anything more. After sending Luo Fang to the car, he drove back to Qingshui Community.

As soon as Guan Yue left, Luo Fang's mother said, "Fang Fang's friend is really amazing. A little girl dares to drive back from Greentown."

Luo's father said: "His father is the section chief of the county, and her mother is also a doctor in the county hospital. The conditions are better than ours, and she can educate the children."

In Luo Fang's family, only Luo's father earns money as a teacher. In a small place, teachers are treated very poorly. If bonuses are included, the salary is only tens of thousands of dollars a year.

A family of three, relying on this little income, can only barely speak.

"That's right, the family bought a car just after entering college." Luo Fang's mother said enviously.

Hearing their parents' discussion, Luo Fang couldn't help but said: "Mom and Dad, Guan Guan's car wasn't bought by his parents, it was given to her by her boyfriend."

"Care about Yue's boyfriend, is that the one you talked about in high school?" Luo's father is also a teacher in Qingshan No. [-] Middle School. He cares about Yue's puppy love. He heard other teachers talk about it in the office.

"That's right, his name is Lu Yang, and he's also a classmate in our class. He's amazing now, he's a great writer, and according to Guan Guan, he even started a company..."

"That's amazing. I didn't expect No. [-] Middle School to produce such outstanding students." Father Luo sighed.

The three of them went upstairs while chatting.

The distance between the two families was not far away. After sending off Luo Fang, Guan Guanyue also arrived at the gate of Qingshui Community not long after.

There are railings in front of the community, and Caring Yue's car cannot be recognized.

drip...

Guan Guanyue honked the horn twice to remind Lao Zhang who was a little sleepy in the security booth.

Lao Zhang yawned, looked outside, and found that it was an unfamiliar car, so he walked out of the security booth with some displeasure. In Qingshui Community, registered cars can automatically sense and open the roadblocks. Only foreign cars need to Registration and manual release, what Lao Zhang hates most is when a car outside the community suddenly comes in the middle of the night.

I wanted to complain, but when the window opened and saw the female driver in the cab, Lao Zhang's eyes widened: "Guan girl, why is it you!"

It looked like he had seen a ghost.

"Uncle Zhang, why can't it be me? Can't I drive?"

Caring Moon smiled, and was a little smug.

This old Zhang has always liked to gossip about her, and now the whole community knows that she has a boyfriend, and some people say that he is getting married, and some even say that she is pregnant.

Let Lao Zhang be surprised now, and Caring about Yue feels a little dark.

"Girl Guan, you're really brave. You didn't drive back from school, did you? That's a long way. Why did you get home in the middle of the night?" Old Zhang asked in surprise.

He knew that Caring Month should be a holiday home.

This car should also be driven back from school.

"It's not a traffic jam on the road, Uncle Zhang, it's so late, please hurry up and let me go, I'll go and register the number plate tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, wait a minute."

Lao Zhang opened the roadblock manually, Guan Yue waved his hand, said goodbye, and drove into the community.

Looking at the tail lights of the car, Lao Zhang patted his forehead and thought to himself: "Is this girl from Lao Guan's family really going to get married? She even bought the dowry car, no, no, I have to ask someone tomorrow Just ask."

Glancing at the side of the road, seeing no car coming, Lao Zhang went back to the security booth again and dozed off.

Entering the community, Caring Yue parked the car opposite the unit building. When she got out of the car, she saw Guan Jianguo and Lin Qingya, husband and wife, coming from the door of the unit. Caring Yue quickly ran over.

"Dad, Mom, I miss you."

Guan Jianguo and Lin Qingya breathed a sigh of relief seeing their daughter home safely.

Lin Qingya glared at her daughter, and said, "Tell me, you can't get back by taking a train, you have to drive yourself, and you only get home in the middle of the night, so you're so worried about us."

"Mom, I didn't expect that there would be a traffic jam. Otherwise, I would have come back and finished my meal." Caring Yue argued.

"You said that."

"Okay, okay..." Guan Jianguo tried to smooth things over and said, "Guan Guan has been driving all day, and he hasn't had dinner yet, so he's going back to get some food. What are you doing out in the middle of the night?"

Caring Yue took the suitcase out from the back of the car, and the family went upstairs together.

After returning home, Guan Jianguo fried two dishes and reheated the rice. The dishes were cut in advance, so they were ready quickly, and Lin Qingya brought them to the table.

Caring Moon comes out of the room.

"What are you doing in the house when you come back? Go wash your hands and eat."

Lin Qingya said.

"The phone is dead, I'm going to charge it."

Guan Guanyue walked into the bathroom, washed her hands, and wiped her face with cold water. After driving for a day, her mind was a little groggy. When she came out of the bathroom, Lao Guan also brought out the rice.

"Thank you, Comrade Lao Guan."

Caring Yue happily took the rice and ate it.

One o'clock.

In Evergrande Huating Community, Lu Yang, who was lying on the bed, received a text message from Guan Yue that he had arrived home safely, so he rested in peace.

next time.

Lu Yang often goes to the company.

After negotiating several times with Penguin, Lu Xiaoyu added the details of the cooperation. After the conditions were negotiated, Penguin quickly sent a team, and the two parties signed a contract at Shanhai Building.

[-] million US dollars arrived.

The money was not deposited into the company's account, but was used by Lu Yang to set up an investment company of Shanhai Capital, which was specially used for venture capital.

Knowing the future development trend, it is a very profitable thing to do venture capital. The key is to be very worry-free. Penguin also began to change its thinking after its development stagnated, started capital investment, and finally integrated countless resources. built a gigantic empire.

Lu Yang also has the same plan. He doesn't have as much capital as Penguin, but he can guarantee that every investment he makes will not suffer a loss.

"Currently there are probably these companies..."

Lu Xiaoyu gave Lu Yang a list.

This list lists some companies that currently need financing, and the number is particularly large. Some of them have not been heard of by Lu Yang, and some of them will be famous in the future.

One of them is Meituan.

In March 2010, Wang Xing borrowed the Groupon model to establish Meituan.com. With the injection of capital and the efforts of the founding team, it has become somewhat famous.

Of course, Meituan’s business at this time is very simple, just a website for reviews and group purchases. On the website, users can intuitively see the evaluation of merchants.

There is also the group buying business that college students love most.

A trip to KTV usually costs 100 or 39 at least, but here, you can buy it at a group price of 49 or [-], which saves a lot of expenses. It will not lose money, but it can increase popularity. If some drinks are sold, there is still room for profit.

Under such circumstances, Meituan.com has developed rapidly, and has quickly moved from the first-tier cities to the second- and third-tier cities... This has also made many investment institutions see opportunities.

Lu Yang looked at the introduction below.

So far, Meituan has reached the B round of financing, and has successively received Sequoia Capital’s A-round investment of 1000 to 5000 million U.S. dollars, as well as Ali, Sequoia, Northern Lights, and Huarong International’s second round of [-] million U.S. dollars. invest.

Today's Meituan is still short of money.

And money is needed.

"Have you seen this?"

Seeing that Lu Yang had been looking at the page of Meituan, Lu Xiaoyu asked curiously.

Lu Yang nodded: "Nowadays, many college students have started to use group buying. I think it is an opportunity. Now they have only received a total investment of 6000 million US dollars. It may be good to enter at this time..."

"How much are you going to vote?"

Lu Xiaoyu asked.

Lu Yang stretched out a finger.

"$1000?"

Lu Xiaoyu asked suspiciously.

This is Shanhai Capital's first investment, and Lu Xiaoyu thinks it's better to be more cautious. If it goes wrong, it will definitely have a big blow to their future investment confidence.

"No, one hundred million dollars."

Lu Yang smiled.

"Student Xiaoyu, can the structure be bigger? If we invest 1000 million, how many shares do we have?"

"We don't have enough experience in investing. It should flow slowly. If you use up all the money in one go, what will you do in the future? The total is [-] million, which is not much money." Lu Xiaoyu reminded.

After all, they are still novices in the investment industry. Lu Xiaoyu's idea is to use a few hundred thousand or several million to invest in some small enterprises and an entrepreneurial team. On the one hand, they can accumulate experience. , and it is not likely to lose too much. Lu Yang's investment method of [-] million US dollars, if he loses, the tuition fee will be too high.

"Let's vote. Sequoia and Ali have both voted. What are we afraid of? You should believe in their vision." Lu Yang did not say that he should trust his own vision, but mentioned these two investment institutions that are very powerful in their own right.

"Okay, then trust you once."

Lu Xiaoyu looked at Sequoia and Ali on the investment list, hesitated for a while, and then nodded. This way of investing may be very risky, but it may also become famous in one fell swoop. Ali and Sequoia are optimistic about companies. Still has great potential.

But specifically, Lu Xiaoyu still wants to do research, and [-] million doesn't have to be enough at once.

Seeing Lu Xiaoyu checkmark behind Meituan, Lu Yang looked at the list with a smile on his face, and asked, "Student Xiaoyu, do you have any recommendations?"

"No." Lu Xiaoyu shook her head, "Just looking at the list, I can't tell whether I can invest or not. I need to go to the company for an on-site inspection before I can judge, and I'm not a professional investor, so I still need to learn this knowledge. Let's forget about finding professional talents for now, let's get the first investment done first.

"Okay, just look at it."

Although there are other well-known companies on the list in the future, Lu Yang is not in a hurry. The project earns more.

Investing all these [-] million yuan at once will always give people a feeling that someone is stupid and has a lot of money. Moreover, if all the companies he invests in make money, it will definitely attract attention. With the title of an investment genius, he doesn't have the accumulation of knowledge, and he doesn't want to reveal it...

Now it’s enough to focus on Meituan, invest first, get the priority investment right, and then follow up with the investment several times in the future to keep the shares from being diluted. Then, in the near future, Shanhai Capital will also be the major shareholder of Meituan.

At that time, maybe some changes can be made in decision-making, so that it can develop better and have more human touch.

Lu Yang is most optimistic about another company, Jingdong. However, Brother Dong has just received more than one billion dollars in financing, and there is no need for investment yet, but Lu Yang knows that Jingdong's development process is not so smooth, especially since Building logistics almost dragged himself into the abyss. Before going public in the United States in 14, he still had a few chances to enter the market... Let’s not talk about these for now.
