The leisurely life of rebirth

The two of them walked and talked, attracting many people's attention along the way.

The legendary Mr. Zhou.

Those who know will spread the word to everyone.
Those who don’t know me will listen very carefully.

The company itself is a legend and cannot be replicated in the industry.

Last year, when I attended the Internet Conference, I was already in the front row.

In addition, the news of financing kept hitting everyone, making almost everyone feel that it was a little unreal.

I always feel that my abilities are not worthy of such a company.

There is a sense of floating.

"Brother Ming, please sit down and stop turning around. It makes me dizzy." Zhou You felt helpless.

Zhang Yiming's current state is very abnormal. How could a mere 50 billion yuan knock him out? It's not like it came suddenly. There have been rumors about it for a long time.

"I can't sit still. My mood is complicated, really very complicated." Zhang Yiming couldn't express this emotion in words.

After many years of entrepreneurship, many companies will never reach this level in their lifetime.

Logically speaking, he might just retire.

This idea really popped into my mind.

"I feel really complicated. I have been through a lot along the way, especially the help you have given me and the support from my colleagues and partners."

"This round of financing may be the last one. The next one may be the IPO."

Zhou You nodded. He couldn't understand this feeling.

But he is also happy. Being able to get through this hurdle and take a big step forward means that his investment is very successful. At that time, there will be the possibility of cashing out and the value of cashing out.

"Yeah, it's been seven or eight years. It went by so fast in the blink of an eye."

"We have grown from a small company to a large one, from a few people to a dozen people, and now we have nearly a thousand people. We will continue to expand in the future."

Zhou You also stood up.

This is his most important investment, and now he can announce that it has achieved results.

But, I do feel a sense of loss in my heart.

No wonder many people say that the process is sometimes more important than the result.

"Brother Ming, think about the future, think about a world-class company, don't be satisfied with the present. Besides, if you really want to rest, you can rest at any time."

Zhou You watched and checked his mental state.

These years, he has indeed devoted himself to work and has not left much time for rest.

"It's not just you. After this round of financing, everyone has to start implementing a vacation system. This is really frustrating for everyone. It's not good."

“We’ve worked so hard for so long, now it’s time to let everyone enjoy themselves.” Zhou You imitated the popular saying.

In fact, it is also a very sad thing. What kind of enjoyment is it? It is just to obtain the rights you deserve.

Zhang Yiming nodded, his mood eased a lot, and he also sat down on the sofa.

"The shares will be diluted a little this time, but it will be above 20% anyway."

"Also, I hope you can support me more when I make decisions in the future. The company is getting bigger and bigger, and I am becoming more and more overwhelmed."

When he said this, he looked a little lonely and decadent.

It’s not like I haven’t done management work before. I have started so many businesses, so I am usually a boss.

But I've never managed so many people.

According to the company's development model, there may really be tens of thousands of people in the future.

It’s scary to think about it, hundreds of people of all kinds, tens of thousands of them, that’s endless.

Zhou You couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Brother Ming, are you lacking confidence in yourself or in me?"

"But, to be honest, I really may not care too much about it in the future. I have said everything that needs to be said. The rest is beyond my ability. Everyone has to rely on themselves."

Zhang Yiming's emotions had just calmed down, but he was shocked again when he heard this. This was more terrifying than failing to raise funds.

Over the past few years, not to mention other things, Zhou You’s guidance was almost always in the key direction, which avoided a lot of detours and allowed the company to develop faster than others.

"Ah, that won't do. We are doing the specific work, but the big direction and strategy all rely on your support behind the scenes. You make me feel unsure when you say that."

Zhou You pointed to his head with his right hand and said, "I am just an ordinary person. I have run out of ideas. I can achieve what I have now thanks to your efforts and everyone else's. It has nothing to do with me."

This statement is both self-deprecating and true.

However, other people don’t think so. If one thing is a coincidence, then so many times and so many companies, it is not a coincidence.

That is the manifestation of ability.

Zhang Yiming was amused and pointed at him: "You are being too modest. Anyway, I will come to you again in the future."

Zhou Youlai actually played the role of a stabilizing force. Almost all that needed to be done had been done before, and all that was left was to go through the process, mainly to be on the safe side.

"I think the development abroad is also very fast." Zhou You did not respond and changed the subject.
Speaking of this, Zhang Yiming also became excited.
"I didn't expect it to develop so fast. The early promotion and certification were relatively smooth. In the early stages of development, it was mainly used by some overseas Chinese, federations, and international students,"

"Then there was a snowball effect, and with our localized operations and precise algorithms, we quickly gained a foothold,"

“The most important thing is actually the arrival of celebrities.”

These were all back-up plans that Zhou You had arranged in advance, and they were a win-win for both sides.
Otherwise, in the face of the strong suppression of big capital, without the media's voice channel, it would be difficult for the government to implement its orders, not to mention that it would be a dead letter.
All the meetings that could be postponed today were postponed until after get off work.

A group of elderly people asked Lao Chen to remind them, and this ended the conversation.
Anyway, the two of them chatted about everything, including their outlook for the future and how to spend their money when they have it.
"Old Chen, Yiming is quite busy, you should pay more attention to your old brothers in the future."

After a quick look around, I found that there were indeed quite a few fewer people.
There were many young people back then, but now they are not young anymore.
"Are you all married?!"

"Well, Brother You, we are all over 30. If we don't get married now, we won't be able to find a wife." One of them said jokingly.

Zhou You hit him on the shoulder and said, "You idiot, you didn't even tell me you were getting married. The man may not come, but you definitely won't lose any money."

Others saw that Zhou You was still the same as before and there was not much change in their group.

My heart is filled with emotion.

In the beginning, a big part of the reason I was willing to work in this company was actually because I remembered how good Zhou You was. That's really generous of me.

Who would have thought that after some perseverance it would become a big company.

"Brother You, it's not too late to make up for it now." Another one said jokingly.

Zhou You shook his head: "It's too late to wait. No, you can get married again, but soon you won't care about these small amounts of money anymore."

As people go along, you get used to it after a while.

Either you come out,
Or die of exhaustion!
Zhou You took everyone out for dinner, drinks, singing and massage.

However, time is unforgiving, and many people are married and have children, so it is not suitable to play too late at night.

I don't go to other entertainment venues either.

Look everyone, it’s almost time to get off work, so everyone is saying goodbye.

"Brother Ming, you're not a child anymore." Zhou You sat on the curb by the road, sobering up.

Zhang Yiming was also very happy today. He drank a little too much and hadn't been so relaxed for a long time. He unbuttoned his shirt to relieve his hot mood.

"Well, in the past, people would start a family and build a career. As for me, I am a bit stubborn. I want to build a career first and then start a family."

Zhou You took off his coat and put it on. It was late at night and everyone was asleep except Xiao Si and the others standing around.

The road was quiet.

"Brother Ming, what do you think people want in this life?"

"Do you want a huge fortune, concubines, or children and grandchildren?" Zhang Yiming grinned and said, "Brother Xiaoyou, I am not as conscious as you. I just want to succeed now, and I can't think about other things."

"As for me, I'm still in the stage of killing monsters and leveling up. I'm not tired of it yet."

Zhou You also smiled.

He touched his short hair and looked at the rows of tall buildings standing opposite. Inside were what people jokingly called pigeon buildings. Occasionally, he could see a few lights that were still on.

Even with this, there are still people who want to buy it but can't afford it.

People have seven emotions and six desires, and sometimes they can't help but let their imagination run wild.

The ups and downs of mood also follow the indescribable things and go with the flow.

Wang Yangming had a sudden epiphany, but he didn't know whether it was true or false.

Zhou You currently cannot understand the books he has read.

How did I get the epiphany? But after the epiphany, why did I exhaust myself to death? What kind of epiphany was it?
I'm really curious.

"I'm leaving. Don't worry about the financing the day after tomorrow. Relax, it's no big deal." Zhou You stood up pretending to be free and easy, dusted off his butt and left.

You will never feel pressure unless it happens to you.

Zhang Yiming is certainly under a lot of pressure.

If the money doesn't arrive at the last minute, problems may occur.

He usually doesn't smoke, but after walking around, he silently took out a cigarette.

The driver next to him watched from a distance and would not go forward without his signal.

Taking a deep breath,
Cough
The suction was a bit strong and I was a little uncomfortable.

In the end, I coughed so hard that tears came out.

The man does not flick when he has tears,
In front of everyone, Zhang Yiming is always strong. He usually doesn't show any signs of loss. He only shows his disappointment when there are few people around.
Tears are salty.

It contains a lot of negative stuff.

People often say: Cry it out, and it will feel better!
In fact, this is true. Crying is a normal human emotion and one of the tools humans need after evolution.

But later on, we taught everyone to be strong and not to cry.

But have you ever thought that crying is for the purpose of becoming stronger?

Zhang Yiming coughed for a while, tears streaming down his eyes. He felt much more relaxed and sat in silence for a while.

She waited until the wind dried her tears before she waved her hand quietly.

The driver saw the gesture and gently slid the vehicle over.

Silent all night.

The next day, the sun rose as usual.

Lei Jun invited Zhou You to visit his company today.

The capital city is where many heroes gather.

Zhouyou is not rice noodles, it’s not any kind of noodles.

If I have to say something, it might be that I’m a fan of the book.

Early in the morning, Lei Jun was standing downstairs waiting, which surprised the employees coming in and out. They were surprised and a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help taking out their mobile phones to check if they were late for work.

There are many people visiting Xiaomi, and there is a dedicated reception team to take care of them.

It is rare to see Mr. Lei participating in receptions in a year, let alone standing downstairs.

Lei Jun looked at his phone and saw that the appointment was for nine o'clock.

Everyone knows how congested the morning rush hour in Beijing is. I just received Zhou You’s message and he still has five minutes to go.

At 8:55, a car drove up.

Lei Jun had already obtained the license plate number, and he walked quickly forward and was about to open the car door.

Unexpectedly, the car door was opened from the inside first.

"Brother, you're putting me in a difficult position. You're putting me on a rack and roasting me." Zhou You said jokingly, but what he said was true.

If something good happens and it gets out, I'll be envied for my grand display.

Lei Jun laughed: "Friendship does not care about the opinions of outsiders."

"Let's go, this is your territory." Zhou You curled his lips and didn't continue to dwell on this topic.

Lei Jun pointed to the sign in front and said, "When you enter the park, you can see our various signs. They are very eye-catching."

"Yeah, they're all logos. I even saw a pig with wings." Zhou You couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, that's just their prank. It doesn't matter anyway." Lei Jun spread his hands. He now has a lot of experience in marketing.

Following behind Lei Jun was the entire reception team.

Wherever we went, it was actually Lei Jun who was responsible for explaining, and the team had no chance to say anything.

Gradually, Zhou You was the one asking more questions, and Lei Jun was the one answering them.

A simple visit takes less than an hour.

That is to say, I have traveled a lot and have become accustomed to these things. There is nothing surprising about them.

Lei Jun was still a little uncomfortable with this: Why aren't you surprised at all?
What a surprise.

More black technologies were developed later, and they are still in their infancy.

"Let's go to my office and talk." Lei Jun invited, and this was also the focus of today.

Zhou You nodded.

Before getting on the elevator, he added: "Actually, you can add an OK gesture and put it outside."

"Hahaha, hahaha, okay, I wouldn't have remembered it if you didn't tell me." Lei Jun couldn't help laughing. He really had a lot of jokes about himself.

It’s such a big park, and all the famous landmarks are its own.

Lei Jun is afraid of heights, and his office is on the 7th floor, which is considered a middle floor.

The president's office is not very big, and there is a small reception room next to it.

They sat opposite each other on the sofa.

The staff brought a cup of tea and closed the door.

This is also a common practice. Whenever Lei Jun discusses something in his office, it is a relatively important matter and is generally not open to other people to attend.

Lei Jun reached out and took out a plan from the side: "This is the car manufacturing plan, take a look, we have already approved it internally."

After I conquered the last director that day, I actually told Zhou You.

I looked at the travel plan carefully.

Lei Jun didn't disturb them. He just sat there quietly, occasionally closing his eyes.

Zhou You has seen many plans, but it is not easy to come up with one that is so detailed and considers so many details.

No wonder it’s so thick.

You can't finish reading it in a short time, so you can only take a general look.

Finally, he said: I have no objection! (End of this chapter)
