Looking back on 2009

Chapter 251
It was Chen Zhihe who found the place to eat.

Knowing that Tang Wan was a fellow villager, he specifically found a hanging pot restaurant.

Thinking about Tang Wan's foreign country for more than ten years, eating hometown food should suit her taste.

The seat Chen Zhihe booked was a half-open compartment, which allowed for a certain amount of privacy, but it would not cause any misunderstanding due to complete privacy.

After Tang Wan sat down, she looked around and nodded secretly.

When Tang Wan saw the hanging pot, surprise appeared on Tang Wan's face.

This little fellow doesn't look like someone his age at all in dealing with things.

Looking at Chen Zhihe, Tang Wan praised: "Mr. Chen has a heart."

Chen Zhihe smiled and said, "Of course people in my hometown should eat their hometown food. Also, since you are old, don't call me Mr. Chen, just call me Xiao Chen."

Tang Wan pursed her lips and smiled, "Then I won't be polite."

The dishes were served quickly, and the waiter brought up the hanging pot, a large pot full of various ingredients, and a burning charcoal fire underneath.

The temperature in the compartment rose immediately, Tang Wan got up and took off her coat.

Seeing Tang Wanyan laughing at Yanyan who took off his coat, Chen Zhihe always felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

The years seem to have left no traces on her face, and her figure after taking off the heavy coat is also amazing.

Seeing Chen Zhihe staring at her, Tang Wan smiled lightly and didn't hold back.

However, Chen Zhihe didn't have any thoughts, he was just wondering where that sense of familiarity came from, but he couldn't grasp it no matter what.

Seeing that Chen Zhihe seemed to be distracted, Tang Wan coughed.

Chen Zhihe came back to his senses, and said embarrassedly: "I always feel that I have seen Ms. Tang somewhere, maybe it is an illusion."

Tang Wan smiled and said: "That's not necessarily true. I only left Fengshan more than ten years ago. Maybe you met me when you were young, Xiao Chen."

Whoever said that, Tang Wan thought it was Chen Zhihe who probably got it right.

Tang Wan has experienced this old-fashioned routine countless times.

Smiling, Tang Wan picked up the chopsticks and started eating the food.

The two chatted while eating, both of them seemed to deliberately not talk about work matters, and continued to chat about news and anecdotes from all over the world.

Both are not ordinary people.

Tang Wan has stayed in the United States for a long time, and the international situation and the world economy are at his fingertips.

Chen Zhihe was even more sophisticated, having known it for ten years, he could not only accept Tang Wan's words, but also express his own opinions.

Although he knew that at this age, he must be able to make such achievements, but Chen Zhihe's vision, conversation and knowledge still amazed Tang Wan.

During a meal, Tang Wan decided that this little villager was indeed a bit evil.

Except for a hint of immaturity at his age when he stared at him at the beginning, Tang Wan didn't feel that Chen Zhihe had any shortcomings that only young people could have.

On the contrary, she saw the maturity of Chen Zhihe's thinking system and the integrity of his knowledge framework.

This made her both happy and troubled.

The happy thing is that the possibility of failing to invest in this person is relatively small; the tangled thing is that the more such a person is, the more difficult it is to deal with.

At the end of the meal, Tang Wan couldn't help asking, "What do you think about this cooperation?"

Chen Zhihe chuckled, in the end it was the other party who couldn't hold his breath first.

Putting down his chopsticks, Chen Zhihe said casually: "This time, we plan to take out 10% of the shares for financing, but I don't know if you can take it."

Tang Wan frowned and asked, "Ten million US dollars is not enough?"

Chen Zhihe said with a smile, "Of course not enough."

Although Chen Zhihe didn't know that Xiaohuangche's B-round financing reached tens of millions of dollars, but now 1000 million dollars obviously can't satisfy Chen Zhihe's appetite.

What Chen Zhihe said before is true and false, but one thing is true, that is, they are not in a hurry now.

Rushing to expand the scale before there are no competitors will undoubtedly disrupt the rhythm of the company's development.

At the current stage, talent cultivation and reserve are more important than market expansion.

It’s good to have money, but you can’t become fat with one bite. In the previous life, shared bicycles only appeared in 14 years, so Chen Zhihe had enough time.

Tang Wan asked, "What's your target price?"

Chen Zhihe smiled and said, "3000 million, US dollars."

Tang Wan shook her head and smiled, and said, "Your current valuations are not so high, and this price is impossible."

However, although Chen Zhihe's tone was loud, Tang Wan was not disgusted.

Greed, in the financial world, is not a derogatory term.

The greed of a wise person is self-awareness, and the greed of a stupid person is lack of self-knowledge.

Chen Zhihe is obviously the former.

Chen Zhihe shook his head, poured a cup of tea for Tang Wan, and then poured another cup for himself: "It's meaningless to talk about valuation. One moment, one moment, we were nothing a year ago, and we were worth one dollar three months ago." billion, now we are worth the price.”

"Besides, investors, don't they just look at the future?"

Tang Wan smiled and said, "Are you so confident?"

Chen Zhihe was noncommittal, and asked instead: "Shouldn't I have confidence?"

Tang Wan smiled lightly and said, "It's okay if you have confidence, but even if I have information about you, this matter is impossible."

Chen Zhihe asked, "Why?"

Tang Wan explained: "I'm just a small supervisor in China, and my authority is at most 1000 million US dollars. If it's too much, I have to approve it from the US headquarters."

To be honest, Tang Wan didn't want this matter to reach the headquarters.

First of all, she was optimistic about this project, and pointed to this project to make a comeback. If it was reported back to the headquarters, the credit would be nothing to her.

Secondly, although from her professional point of view, Chen Zhihe’s project is very in line with their company’s investment philosophy, and it can be passed in all likelihood, but it is not ruled out that competitors will trip her up. The probability is relatively small.

Chen Zhihe leaned back and said, "Then wait for your headquarters' approval."

Tang Wan was obviously not happy to see this situation. She shook her head and said, "I have my own reasons. I would rather not vote than send this project to the headquarters."

Chen Zhihe looked at Tang Wan's resolute face, as if he had guessed something.

Still, does this look like an opportunity?
With an idea, Chen Zhihe suddenly laughed and said, "1000 million seems not impossible, but the shares can only be 3%."

Since the other party is optimistic about this project, but doesn't want to pass it on to the higher-ups, shouldn't it be a good idea?
However, Chen Zhihe's price clearly exceeded Tang Wan's psychological price.

In fact, Tang Wan felt a little regretful when she said the words just now, and she was lucky enough to think that Chen Zhihe would not think about that, but Chen Zhihe obviously guessed something.

Seeing Chen Zhihe taking advantage of the fire to loot, Tang Wan's expression paled instantly.

"At this price, there is no need for me to stay in Jiangcheng. This price is too outrageous."

If you are optimistic, you are optimistic, and you do have authority, but this price is too risky.

Once something goes wrong, the competitors at the headquarters will definitely make trouble.

For Tang Wan, such a risk is unnecessary.
