I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 467 The Best Venture Capitalist!

When it came to the company's specific affairs just now, Shen Nanpeng seldom opened his mouth, so Lin Xiao asked such a question.

"Yes! Nanpeng is mainly responsible for financing and finance."

It was Liang Jianzhang who answered, and he immediately said with a smile: "Although he is usually the most leisurely among us, he is also the most important. We can't do anything without money."

Lin Xiao nodded, but at this moment he suddenly said: "I have an investment company in my hand, the scale is not small, and I have invested more than one billion yuan. Is Mr. Shen interested in coming?"

As soon as these words came out, several people at the table were slightly astonished.

One was surprised that Lin Xiao had such a large-scale investment company in his hands, and the other was surprised that Lin Xiao suddenly picked up Shen Nanpeng on the dinner table.

Lin Xiao explained at this time: "If you follow your plan, after the financing this time, there should be less financing later, so Mr. Shen's work in this area will be much smaller."

"And if Mr. Shen is willing to come to my place, he can also take care of his work with Ctrip. After all, you and I are still shareholders."

"As for finance, it shouldn't be too difficult to hire a financial manager."

Everyone who thought Lin Xiao was joking at first turned their eyes to Shen Nanpeng when they heard what Lin Xiao said seriously.

Naturally, other people would not accept such words, including Liang Jianzhang.

After all, Lin Xiao didn't poach people secretly, but said it in front of everyone, and the solution he gave was really not a big loss for Ctrip.

But for Shen Nanpeng, this is an opportunity.

Therefore, except for Shen Nanpeng himself, no one else is fit to speak.

After all, Shen Nanpeng is also a veteran in the workplace. Although he was a little surprised and stunned at the beginning, he calmed down at this time, but looked at Lin Xiao in surprise, and asked:

"Why did Mr. Lin suddenly think of calling me?"

"Because of your rich experience and excellent work ability." Lin Xiao replied immediately.

The reason why Lin Xiao said this sentence was not only based on Shen Nanpeng's current performance, but also based on Lin Xiao's understanding of Shen Nanpeng in his previous life.

Before Lin Xiao's rebirth, Shen Nanpeng was a well-known figure in the entire Chinese investment circle, and even the world's venture capital circle.

In the previous life, Shen Nanpeng retired after achieving financial freedom after being listed on Ctrip.com and became a professional investor.

In 2005, Shen Nanpeng persuaded the world-renowned venture capital Sequoia Capital to cooperate and established Sequoia Huaxia.

After that, Shen Nanpeng led Sequoia Investment to invest all over Huaxia Internet. Alibaba, JD.com, Pinduoduo, Toutiao, Meituan, Didi, Bytedance, DJI, JD Finance, etc. all have his investments.

Shen Nanpeng was nicknamed "the man who bought the entire Chinese Internet".

Shen Nanpeng's investment ability is also highly recognized internationally. From 2018 to 2020, "Forbes" magazine ranked Shen Nanpeng as the world's best venture capitalist for three consecutive years.

Lin Xiao knew all this, but Shen Nanpeng didn't. Lin Xiao said it was because of his rich work experience and excellent work ability, Shen Nanpeng only said that Lin Xiao was referring to his previous work and the ability he showed in Ctrip.

So at this time, Shen Nanpeng also felt a little joy in his heart, no one would dislike others admiring themselves.

At the same time, Shen Nanpeng was also moved.

Investment and financing is what Shen Nanpeng is good at and likes. The reason why Liang Jianzhang agreed to join Ctrip is because he is here to be responsible for the work he is good at and likes.

On the other hand, Shen Nanpeng also wanted to experience the feeling of starting a business.

Now, he has experienced everything he wants to experience, and he can even continue to experience it, because Lin Xiao said that he can continue to work in Ctrip.

And Lin Xiao has such a large-scale investment company in his hands, and it is obvious that he has to bear the burden in the past. In the long run, that is obviously what he is more willing to do.

These thoughts circled in Shen Nanpeng's mind. He glanced at Dang Jianzhang and other three Ctrip founders, then calmed down again, and then said to Lin Xiao:
"Mr. Lin, thank you for your appreciation, but I'm sorry, I may not be able to promise you for the time being. Ctrip has just been established and has not yet fully entered the right track. I think I still need to continue to struggle with this team for a while."

At this time, Lin Xiao understood Shen Nanpeng's meaning, and what he said was a bit impulsive. In the early stage of starting a business, the other party didn't want to just leave the partner who started the business together like this.

I understand it, but I can't help feeling a little regretful in my heart.

Shen Nanpeng is an excellent investor, which is actually what Lin Xiao needs very much at present.

Future investment holds a large amount of funds, and in the near future, this amount of funds is likely to continue to rise.

Although Lin Xiao has a natural advantage in investment by virtue of his reborn memory, this advantage will slowly disappear over time.

Because with his intervention, the butterfly effect will become bigger and bigger. At this time, someone needs to provide him with advice and suggestions from a more professional perspective.

Moreover, Lin Xiao's own business is getting bigger and bigger, and he is involved in more and more fields. In the future, it is impossible to have so much energy to think about these things, which requires more people to help.

Lan Yumo alone is not enough, and Lan Yumo's temperament determines that she is extremely calm when it comes to trading, but she is not suitable for investment negotiations.

Based on all these, Shen Nanpeng is indeed a high-level talent that future investment urgently needs.

But now that Shen Nanpeng said this, Lin Xiao couldn't force it anymore, so he had to speak.

At this time, Liang Jianzhang said anxiously from the side, "Nan Peng, why didn't you agree? What a great opportunity!"

Seeing everyone looking at him, Liang Jianzhang continued:

"I know what you think. I think it's not appropriate to leave the team when Ctrip is about to start officially. But Mr. Lin also said just now that you can do things on Ctrip's side."

"Now we have Mr. Lin's investment, and the way is clear. You really have fewer things to do, and you don't have to stay at the company every day. Since Mr. Lin sincerely invites you, you agree!"

When Shen Nanpeng heard what Liang Jianzhang said, he looked straight over.

At this time, Liang Jianzhang continued to give Shen Nanpeng an encouraging look.

For this, Liang Jianzhang has his own considerations.

As he said just now, because of the special nature of Shen Nanpeng's work, there will not be many places where the company needs Shen Nanpeng's contribution until the listing.

Lin Xiao also agreed that Shen Nanpeng would work at Ctrip, which was enough.

And if Shen Nanpeng joins Lin Xiao's company, it will naturally be beneficial to Ctrip, which can promote the cooperation between Ctrip and Eternal Network.

If the cooperation with Eternal Network can be strengthened, in Liang Jianzhang's view, it will definitely be very beneficial to Ctrip.

For example, the Alipay interface mentioned by Lin Xiao today helped Ctrip solve a big problem at once.

And regarding this point, Shen Nanpeng took a longer view.

Eternal Network is now the Internet company with the most users in China, and its momentum is strong. Since Alipay Lin Xiao is willing to open it up to third parties, is there any possibility of other resources?
If Eternal Network is willing to share user resources to a certain extent, it will be great news for Ctrip!
And all of this, if Shen Nanpeng contacted him, the probability would be even greater.

Even if Shen Nanpeng couldn't speak directly, at least there was something wrong, and the news he and others got would be more timely.

Thinking this way, Liang Jianzhang saw that Shen Nanpeng was still hesitant, and immediately asked the other two business partners:
"Do you think Nanpeng should agree?"

The other two were not as far ahead as Liang Jianzhang thought, but they didn't think there was anything wrong with Shen Nanpeng's promise at first, and when Liang Jianzhang said this at this time, they all opened their mouths.

"Yes, Nanpeng, you promise, Mr. Lin agrees that you will continue to work for Ctrip."

"Nanpeng, we don't have any ideas. Don't worry about it. You are still a shareholder of Ctrip anyway. You can contribute whatever you need."

Hearing the three entrepreneurial partners speak like this, Shen Nanpeng, who was a little moved at first, stopped being hypocritical at this time, and said to Lin Xiao:

"Mr. Lin, thank you for your appreciation. If this is the case, I will give it a try!"

Hearing that Shen Nanpeng agreed, Lin Xiao also showed a smile on his face. Recruiting such an elite soldier would be of great help to him!
At this time, Lin Xiao also picked up the wine glass again, and then said to Shen Nanpeng: "Welcome to join, we will find a chance to discuss in detail later."

"Okay." Shen Nanpeng also picked up his glass, and drank another glass of wine with Lin Xiao.

After putting down his wine glass, Shen Nanpeng turned to Lin Xiao and said, "Boss Lin, Ctrip will focus on completing the acquisition of Yanjing Modern Express Room Reservation Company. Perhaps during this period of time, my main job is still on Ctrip."

"It should be." Lin Xiao agreed, "You should sort out Ctrip's affairs first, and come to me when you are free. I'm not too short of time."

Hearing what Lin Xiao said, Shen Nanpeng smiled and said thank you.

Liang Jianzhang and the others also felt relieved.

It seems that what Lin Xiao promised before is true, and Shen Nanpeng can still be responsible for Ctrip's investment and financing.

With the finalization of this matter, the atmosphere at the dinner table became lively again, and because everyone had gained something, this meal was extremely happy.

After the meal, Liang Jianzhang invited Lin Xiao to visit Ctrip in the afternoon, and Lin Xiao agreed immediately.

In fact, for Lin Xiao, there is not much to see when he goes there. After all, Ctrip is not big now, and Liang Jianzhang and Shen Nanpeng also introduced in detail the development of Ctrip.

However, he still agreed to go, because it showed his support and attention to Ctrip.
