Wind Rises 2005

Chapter 616 Just for fun

[On Stage] Bar, Yan Bing’s private property, is not even included in the park business, but is operated by another team.

The reason for doing this is because I am afraid that the internal management of the park will be too chaotic, so it is better to make a distinction.

Since its opening, [On Stage] has become one of the most popular shopping places in Shanghai, attracting countless literary and artistic young people to come and spend money.

Although LiveHouse is not scarce in the city these days, [On Stage] has become the most unique existence.

After all, there are only a handful of people in the country who can invite well-known domestic bands to perform in bars like the rich woman.

At least in the East China Sea, there are few places that can do this.

[On Stage] In fact, the venue is not that big. It is completely different from some large nightclub venues with dance floors. The area is just right.

But its style is far from comparable to those local nightclubs.

Those who come here to shop must be somewhat literate, otherwise their aesthetics will not be able to keep up with the services provided by the [On Stage] store.

For example, if you never listen to folk songs or jazz, even if you come, you may not get the best experience, that is, you will just join in the fun.

But in the hearts of literary and artistic young people, [On Stage], a sake bar with high-quality live performances, is their favorite.

[On Stage] Bar's business is very good every day, even if there are performances at the [Red Square] Music Festival on the weekend, it will not be greatly affected.

Only when the music festival is held at the end of the month like today, the business will be a little deserted.

After all, the band invited to perform at the end of the month has a more luxurious lineup and the scene is more lively.

So when Ma Liang and Yan Bing came to [On Stage] with their two children, there were not many customers in the bar.

At this moment, all the literary and artistic young people were dancing to the band on the grass outside.

But this is only for the afternoon session. In the evening, the bar will be full of business and it will be difficult to find a seat.

Seeing the big boss coming in person, the manager of [On Stage] came out to greet them attentively, arranged the most secluded location for them, and then served them the best drinks.

As soon as they sat down, the little guy couldn't hold it any longer: "Brother, hurry up..."

"You little greedy cat, you can't wait any longer!" Yan Bing saw her daughter eating in such a hurry and couldn't help but scold her.

Ma Liang smiled when he saw this, and quickly took out a bunch of strings from the bag and placed them on the table.

The spicy aroma spread all over the place for a while, and to be honest, it was very incompatible with the tone and atmosphere of [On Stage].

This is Ma Liang and the others. Other guests are too embarrassed to come in with Chuan Chuan Xiang to eat.

The little guy couldn't bear it any longer. He grabbed a bunch of them in each hand and started licking them. Even though her skewers were slightly spicy, she still made him hiss and blow after a hard show.

But this did not hinder the little guy's eating speed at all. His mouth was full of sesame paste.

Su Xiaomi and Li Li were not to be outdone. Their fighting power was not bad at all, and Chuan Chuan Xiang wiped out most of them in just a few minutes.

Even Yan Bing felt her taste buds opened up after smelling it, and she was eager to try it.

Although she usually doesn't eat these spicy foods at all, she is afraid that eating excessively will affect her figure if she arouses her appetite.

But now seeing her daughter and her little lover eating so deliciously, she also grabbed a bunch for no reason.

Of course, she was determined to resist meat skewers and only dared to have some vegetarian skewers to satisfy her cravings.

"Wow, this is so delicious..." Li Li continued to praise while eating, "This is the most delicious food I have ever tasted in my life!"

Su Xiaomi glanced at her, looked at her roommate's ignorant expression and said with disdain: "Tsk, what does this mean? There are plenty of delicious food in China!"

“It’s over, it’s over, there are only more than two months left in summer vacation.

When I go back to school, I will never be able to eat such delicious food again. How will I live? "

Li Li suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis, turned around and suggested to Ma Liang, "Marlon, why don't you open a branch near Stanford!"

Ma Liang was stunned by what she said on the spot: "Well, even if it is to be opened, it will take two years, and it will definitely not be in time for you to start school.

Moreover, Chinese cuisine is extensive and profound, and there are countless delicious ones. I can’t just go to your place and open a branch for everyone. "

"Uh"

This answer made Li Li speechless for a moment. The thought of not being able to eat so much delicious food in the future was even worse than death for her as a foodie.

"Mia, I have decided to come back to China to settle down with you after graduation.

Microsoft, Google, Amazon, let them all go away. No matter how high the salary is, I will not serve you. "

In just one moment, Li Li completely surrendered to his Chinese stomach.

Ma Liang was amused by her words, so he joked: "This is a good idea!

But there is no need to panic. In the future, if you start a successful business with Xiaomi, you will have wealth and freedom, which is nothing compared to the small salary offered by Google and Microsoft. "

"Ah? Really?" Li Li couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this.

She has always regarded BitFun as a fun project with her roommates, and has never thought about the success of starting a business.

After all, BitFun's business model has not worked out, and it has no income so far. It is purely a money-burning thing.

Su Xiaomi replied proudly: "Of course, we will succeed!"

As a result, before she could finish her words, the cell phone on the table rang.

Picked it up and looked at it, then hurriedly picked it up. “What? The website is down again?”

"It's not the website's fault, it's the server that's overcrowded?"

"Do you want to add more bandwidth?"

"Okay, I got it, I'll get it done as soon as possible..."

After saying a few words, Su Xiaomi hung up the phone in a hurry. Then he looked at Ma Liang and his mother hesitantly, but he didn't know how to speak.

In the past, due to poor technology, the BitFun website often went down, so it was only spread in a small circle.

But as the technical problems were solved one by one, the website experience suddenly improved.

What followed was a reversal of word-of-mouth, which quickly spread within a small circle.

As a result, a steady stream of traffic poured in, making the original configuration unable to keep up with the growth of users.

Su Xiaomi had raised 300,000 US dollars from Jennifer before, and it took such a long time.

Nowadays, to expand the scale, money is somewhat insufficient. After all, as the number of users increases, the funding gap required in the future will become larger and larger.

If you are a normal entrepreneur, it will be too late to be happy when you encounter this situation.

After all, the website traffic has increased significantly and the number of users has increased, which means there is a possibility of further success, and I can’t wait to continue to raise funds for a big success.

But Su Xiaomi was different. From the beginning, it was just for fun, and she was still in school, so she was not mentally prepared for all this.

Especially if the website needs to expand operations in the future, it cannot be solved with a small amount.

She had raised US$30 before, which was still within her psychological tolerance. But if BitFun continues to develop, $300 million may not be enough.

You must know that it is already 2008, and even in China, the operating costs of websites are very high.

Even if BitFun has only just started, it will definitely cost a lot to continue to develop according to this trend.

The more money, the greater the pressure.

After all, Su Xiaomi is still a little girl. She has never experienced anything like this, and she doesn't dare to take on such a big responsibility.

"What's wrong?" Yan Bing looked at her daughter's troubled face and quickly asked with concern.

Su Xiaomi then spoke out solemnly: "The website I created casually before seems to have become more and more popular recently.

Now the server and bandwidth have seriously exceeded the load and must be increased.

But……"

As she said that, she turned her attention to Ma Liang again, who knew that Angel Lun was looking for Jennifer Rong without telling this bad guy.

Although the money was not much, it was spent so quickly. Su Xiaomi was naturally embarrassed to continue talking to him.

"What are you looking at me for?" Ma Liang was very embarrassed by her look.

If you don't have enough money, go to your mother. After all, with the rich sister here, how can it be his turn to continue to take action when the eldest girl starts her own business.

Besides, if you really want to do it all, if it happens in the future, don't let Sister Bingmei misunderstand him and think that he is deliberately taking advantage of the big girl's early stage of starting her business.

Seeing that her daughter was hesitant to speak, Yan Bing also understood: "Is there not enough money to operate the website?"

The eldest girl had been delaying going home before, and she now knows the reason.

"Hmm..." Su Xiaomi nodded sheepishly, feeling embarrassed and did not explain much.

Upon seeing this, Yan Bing responded grandly: "Don't worry, Mom will vote for you!

Is twenty million enough?

If it's not enough, give me a few days and I should be able to get you a full 50 million. "

"Mom, is it too much? I don't even dare to take any more!" Su Xiaomi suddenly became very worried when she heard this.

She had never managed such a large amount of money as a student before, and she was at a loss for a while.

Yan Bing replied nonchalantly: "This little money is nothing! It is a good thing for my daughter to start a business, and it is not a waste of money. My mother will definitely support her!"

Although 50 million is a lot, it is not a very difficult thing for the rich woman.

Besides, the eldest girl is so outstanding and can already learn to start a business while she is still in school. As a mother, it is too late for her to be happy.

Yan Bing doesn't need to ask whether her daughter's project is reliable, nor does she care about the return on investment.

Even if he loses all his money, it is still worth it. Quan should be practicing for his daughter.

"Well, thank you, Mom!" Su Xiaomi suddenly smiled when she heard her mother being so proud.

As a result, Ma Liang was really dumbfounded by the conversation between the two mother and daughter.

She is indeed a rich woman. She spends money for her daughter without batting an eye. She gives her 50 million as soon as she says it.

In a word, it’s just fun! ——

PS: I've been suffering from hemorrhoids for the past two days. It's so painful that I can't even sit down. If it gets worse, I'll have to take another two days off. I'm sorry!
