Yanzi Valley of Jingcheng

Chapter 216 She Was Proper

WeChat’s group sending assistant is indeed very inconvenient. Not to mention that you can only send to 200 people at a time, and Ren Tianxing has to manually add contacts one by one. However, this is currently the most direct and efficient way of “one-to-many” contact on WeChat.

Ren Tianxing edited a paragraph, first introduced the company he is currently working for and the general business scope, and then proposed the need to find a professional interior designer for apartments and convenient hotels, hoping that friends with this network of resources can contact him.

After mass sending, Ren Tianxing originally thought that there would be progress in finding a designer, but he received a bunch of invalid messages.

"It's ok, you boy, you've gotten into the investment circle!"

"Is Jin Quan's salary high? My girlfriend also wants to go in."

"I don't know."

"Haha, brother, when will you and Mo Ru get married?"

"How many projects have you invested in? Is the bonus seven figures?"

"I asked the store designer last time, and this time I asked the apartment hotel designer. It seems that it is not easy to do your job..."

"Stay up so late? It's too hard. I'm in my hometown and I haven't worked after six o'clock."

"Did you break up with Mo Ru? Someone said you broke up, let me verify."

"Did brother Qingyang buy a house?"

……

Ren Tianxing sighed deeply. These people were either classmates or friends. Most of them hadn't been in touch for a long time. Now it would be impolite to contact them without greeting, but it would be a waste of time to reply one by one.

Ren Tianxing couldn't help but think of when Xiao Jie was looking for a store designer for Bobcat Cafe. The situation was very similar to now. He was clearly racing against time to sprint [-] meters, but he still had to face inefficient chatting.

Ren Tianxing was very puzzled at the time, why Xiao Jie could listen to an old classmate chatting about a bunch of boring topics in that situation without hanging up the phone in a hurry, and as Ren Tianxing himself replied to other people's "greetings" one by one, he It seems that I have slowly understood something.

People clearly know that you are a WeChat group, but they are willing to reply to you, and they are willing to say a few more words about your living conditions, which shows that they still regard you as a friend.

On the contrary, you seem to live in the circle of friends of many people, but now you are a stranger to them, they can talk to you, but their lives will not make any difference if you delete you.

Why not yourself?

Ren Tianxing was thinking while typing, if he just wants to ask someone for something and wants to chat privately, and he is unwilling to pay for an extra minute, isn't it too utilitarian?
In this way, Ren Tianxing spent 3 hours looking for the designer after get off work, and spent 2.8 hours chatting with people until the owner of the convenience store downstairs closed the iron door again.

"I don't know, but I can ask my friend." Guan Zhenzhen replied a message, "Brother Tianxing, are you still working overtime?"

"Ah."

Ren Tianxing made a short sentence, his eyes were swollen.

Ren Tianxing found that staring at WeChat and typing for a long time would make his eyes more sour than staring at office documents. He didn't know whether it was the font on the computer screen or something else. In short, he didn't want to type another word at the moment. The light is very sharp, and if you look at it more, it is like a knife cutting.

So he could only lean on the back of the chair and close his eyes to rest his mind. Guan Zhenzhen's big round eyes and her voice as smooth as jade were in his mind.

"Brother Tianxing..."

"Brother Tianxing..."

Guan Zhenzhen always called Ren Tianxing that.

Since Ren Tianxing has been staying in Guan Zhenzhen's rented house for the past few days, the two of them can see each other almost every day.

Guan Zhenzhen was more conservative than Ren Tianxing thought, this single girl who offered to let a man live in her house was not frivolous at all, to be exact, she was very measured.

For example, Guan Zhenzhen would ask Ren Tianxing about when she would be home in the afternoon, so she had a good bath before Ren Tianxing came home. Ren Tianxing had never seen Guan Zhenzhen in her pajamas, and every time the girl walked out of the bedroom, she had already changed and was ready to go out. clothes.

Although the lonely man and the widow live in the same room, Guan Zhenzhen never seems to make the atmosphere awkward. She often asks Ren Tianxing many questions.

"Brother Tianxing, you said that you, Jin Quan, manage money for others, so who will let you manage money?"

"In the beginning, it was the endowment funds of major universities in the United States, and some state pension funds in various states in the United States." Ren Tianxing replied, "Of course, a lot of money comes from other investment institutions, and these institutions also receive money from others. This is called a fund. Of funds, of course, now rich bosses will think of either finding a private bank for wealth management, or giving us part of the money to engage in venture capital in the primary market.”

Although Guan Zhenzhen was dizzy, she was not completely ignorant of the basic theories. She could find out the basic theories online, so she continued to ask, "The one who manages money for others is called GP, and the one who gives money to others is called LP, right? ?”

(Note: Private equity investment institutions such as Jinquan Group are called Private Equity, referred to as PE; limited partners, referred to as LP, are investors of PE institutions; and general partners, referred to as GP, are PE institutions fund manager.)
"Well, LPs are the group of people who can guide our work, and we have to report to them every quarter..." Ren Tianxing said.

"Oh...hehe, so Brother Tianxing, are you the GP?" Guan Zhenzhen asked with her head tilted.

"I'm not Mr. Xiao, that is, I'm the leader. The partner is the GP. I'm working for Xiao GP."

"Haha, don't be discouraged, Xiao Dashen must have been an ordinary person working for other GPs before, if he can do it, you can do the same! I am optimistic about you!"

I am optimistic about you, this is the first time Ren Tianxing heard these five words, even his parents never told him that since he was a child.

Probably because of these five words, although Ren Tianxing is very busy, he will use the utmost patience to answer Guan Zhenzhen's various questions.

For example, when Ren Tianxing woke up yesterday morning and was brushing his teeth, Guan Zhenzhen squatted on the floor cooking noodles on the induction cooker and asked, "Brother Tianxing, what is the difference between pre-A round financing and A-round financing?"

Ren Tianxing spat at the sink and said, "The preA round is earlier than the A round. The A round is the first round, B is the second, C is the third, and so on. The more mature the company, the more often the number of financing more and more."

"Oh, so when a company is just starting out, the first financing it gets is the A round, right?"

Ren Tianxing paused for a moment while washing his face, and after quickly washing his face, he walked out of the bathroom and replied, "No, if you only have a PPT, or an idea, no products, or even a team, someone is willing to give it to you. Money, this round of financing is called the 'Angel round', not the A round."

"Uh...then preA is the angel wheel?" Guan Zhenzhen asked.

"It's not...well, I can't say it's definitely not, but it won't be called that... Angel Wheel will be called Angel Wheel alone."

Guan Zhenzhen was dumbfounded, "You guys are so weird, you say A is 1, but in the first round, A is not called an angel, and there is preA before A, but preA is not necessarily an angel..."

Ren Tianxing can only laugh awkwardly at this, because it is really messy. He thinks that this kind of name is messed up by insiders, creating various alphabetic names so that outsiders can't understand, so as to show that he is an expert, but if you really After careful questioning, in fact, many people in the industry can't tell the reason.

In short, it is okay to pretend, but not true.

But Ren Tianxing still wanted to be serious, he couldn't lose face in front of Guan Zhenzhen.

As an insider in the venture capital industry, Ren Tianxing said after careful investigation, "In fact, pre-A is not very common. It is generally the financing between the angel and the A round. The scale is not large, so some companies have to be separated separately. Generally speaking, it is mostly because the valuation is too low, and the founders of the company are embarrassed to say that it is an A.”

Guan Zhenzhen's questions made Ren Tianxing feel that he still had a lot to study, and it would be too unprofessional if even an outsider couldn't handle it.

So he studied and worked harder, and instinctively seized every opportunity to exercise his ability. The matter of finding an interior designer for Guan Sha was an excellent opportunity.

If Xiao Jie can do it, I can do it too. If you want to find it, you can find the best one.

Thinking of this, Ren Tianxing perked up and opened his eyes to continue working. At this time, the background music playing on his computer was the song "Stubborn" by Mayday.
