Reborn: Billionaire in College

Chapter 157 Ge Mengshi Joins
It was the end of May, and Chen Pingjiang's freshman year was about to end. The entire University of Finance and Economics had also entered the exam season, and summer vacation would begin in mid-June.

Chen Pingjiang asked Zhu Guangtong and Kuang Minghong if he could not take the final exam, as he really did not have time to review for the exam.

Even if you give him a book now, he won't be able to read it.

Kuang Minghong said that you don’t have to write the test paper, but as long as you come, Chen Pingjiang doesn’t have to worry about anything else.

To be honest, University of Finance and Economics takes the final exam more seriously than Chen Pingjiang.

Chen Pingjiang may not care about this diploma, but the University of Finance and Economics cannot do without this student.

And Chen Pingjiang's test scores must also be good to match his status.

In this regard, it is really not easy to be a finance major.

Everyone in the dormitory is used to this. Anyone who compares himself with Chen Pingjiang's grandson is a moron, right?

For a while, even Zhao Shaoyang and Wang Lei, who were the most lazy students in dormitory 603, reviewed every day.

...............

As soon as Chen Pingjiang walked into the box, a row of bosses sitting around a round table not far away stood up.

Businessmen are realistic. They don’t care about seniority. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, strength is everything.

And now Chen Pingjiang deserves it.

Zhang Fu, who was holding the hot pot in one hand, smiled cordially and said, "Mr. Chen, it feels like a long time since we last met. How many years have we not seen each other?"

He Zhiyu, who was standing next to him, also walked over with a smile, put his arm around Chen Pingjiang's shoulders and led him to the main seat. Despite Chen Pingjiang's refusal, he insisted that he sit down.

"You are the only one who can sit in this seat today. If you don't sit here, no one else will dare to sit here."

Chen Pingjiang had no choice but to give up and asked with a smile: "Old He, what conspiracy do you have? You called so many people here."

He Zhiyu waved his hand: "Let's start the meal first, and talk while we eat."

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The slightly drunk He Zhiyu looked around and said to Chen Pingjiang, "Mr. Chen, let me be frank. We are very interested in whether you can help us with the investment we mentioned last time."

Chen Pingjiang hesitated for a while and asked, "Are you referring to Renren or Renren Waimai?"

As if he was afraid that Chen Pingjiang might misunderstand him, Zhang Fu quickly explained, "Of course it's Renren Waimai. Although we are not in the Internet circle, we have seen Renren's movements everywhere recently and know how popular it is. So many capital giants are watching, how dare we, who are just small arms and legs, get involved."

He Zhiyu also nodded and said, "I heard that Renren's valuation has exceeded 5 billion, and it is still growing rapidly. When it reaches billion, even % of the shares will cost million, and our pocket money can't afford that much."

Chen Pingjiang chuckled. He Zhiyu had brought him here today. It seemed that he would not be able to leave if he did not agree to them, and it would also be an embarrassment to He Zhiyu.

At this time, Zhang Fu also assisted: "Mr. Chen, please value the Renren Waimai project according to your psychological price. We agree on any price."

In name, He Zhiyu was the initiator of this matter, but in fact, Zhang Fu was the most active.

Zhang Fu's son also started a small Internet company and was very optimistic about the future prospects of Renren. When he heard that his old man actually knew Chen Pingjiang, and after learning about the Renren Waimai project, he told him that he must invest in it no matter what.

Investing now is like making money!

You won’t be able to buy it even if you want to, so just stand aside.

Chen Pingjiang also smiled bitterly. These old guys really felt uncomfortable if they didn't give them money.

After nodding, Chen Pingjiang said bluntly: "Let's go with 10 billion. You may think it's a bit high right now, but I can reveal that once Renren Waimai and group buying are established, a market value of 100 billion in the future will not be a problem."

The dozen people at the table looked at each other, and finally He Zhiyu nodded, patted the table, and said excitedly: "Let's do it, let's all pool our efforts and get 5% of the equity."

Although it seems that the current valuation of Renren Waimai will definitely not reach 10 billion, or even 1 million, but everyone present is not a fool. They are looking at the future and value Chen Pingjiang as a person.

Chen Pingjiang just needs to put in some effort and Renren.com has done so well. In the eyes of this group of people, the Renren Waimai project is more imaginative.

Chen Pingjiang did not cheat these people, and Meituan later had a market value of hundreds of billions.

This 5% equity is equivalent to to billion.

A return on investment of two to three hundred times.

These people make money almost without doing anything, and they don’t have to worry about the business as it is a sure win.

Even if this 5% equity is diluted to only 2% later, the price-to-earnings ratio would still be at least times.

When everyone present saw that the cooperation was finalized, they were immediately excited and kept looking for Chen Pingjiang to toast.

In the end, he still dragged Chen Pingjiang to find a merchant to continue the second game.

…………

When Chen Pingjiang woke up in the morning, he felt his eyes were bloodshot, his forehead was aching badly, and his mouth was very dry.

"woke up?"

Chen Pingjiang didn't pay attention at first, but suddenly he felt that the sound was a little strange. He turned around and looked at the decoration of the room. Wasn't it a woman's boudoir?

I turned around and saw Ge Mengshi standing in front of me in her home pajamas, holding a cup of water.

Chen Pingjiang was a little confused, and asked with a straight look in his eyes: "Why am I here?"

"You can't remember anything?"

Chen Pingjiang smiled bitterly, "I can't remember a thing."

Ge Mengshi, who was wearing home pajamas, had a very different temperament from her usual cool and elegant look. "You called me last night after you were drunk, and I answered the phone for you. One for each of us, we're even."

Chen Pingjiang believed it about 80%, but he didn't know why he called Ge Mengshi instead of Zhou Guanghan or even Yan Yan.

After drinking all the water, Chen Pingjiang felt a little relieved from his hunger and thirst, and then he asked curiously, "Why didn't you go to work today?"

"Resigned." Ge Mengshi seemed to be talking about something quite ordinary and no big deal.

"What the hell? You resigned? When did it happen? Doesn't that mean you won't be able to support me from now on?" Chen Pingjiang widened his eyes.

It would be fine if we didn't talk about this. When she talked about this, Ge Mengshi got angry and looked at Chen Pingjiang directly: "Please be careful with your words. What do you mean by I guarantee you? That can only be called renting at most! Also, why did you lie to me that you run a milk tea shop? When I picked you up last night, the men around you looked like entrepreneurs. They told me to be careful to take good care of you no matter what. They cared about you more than their parents."

"Uh, what did you tell them?"

"I said it was your secretary."

Chen Pingjiang nodded, then smiled and said, "One of my businesses is milk tea. You're not wrong, and you didn't ask in detail."

"Oh? What other businesses do you have?" Ge Mengshi asked curiously. She was really curious about how this young boy could hang out with those old men and be respected by others. And how could he have so many businesses at such a young age?

The sight of Chen Pingjiang counting with his fingers made Ge Mengshi gasp.

"Let me count: Renren.com, Renren Takeout, group buying, milk tea, barbecue restaurant..."

"The recently popular Renren.com is actually yours?" Ge Mengshi was going crazy. Renren.com's target users are white-collar workers. Although Ge Mengshi doesn't use it, she registered an account and learned about it. She has a good impression of this website called Renren.com, especially the makeup and female emotional sections.

Chen Pingjiang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? Can't it be mine?"

Ge Mengshi felt a little dizzy. This attitude was so different from her usual cool and aloof self.

"Then why are you still charging me 50,000 a month in rent?"

"Ahem." Chen Pingjiang cleared his throat and said righteously: "Friendship is friendship, business is business, we are in a cooperative relationship, I pretend to be your boyfriend, you pay me, it's reasonable.

"I……"

Ge Mengshi had a lot to say, but she couldn't say it because of Chen Pingjiang's criticism.

Indeed.

It was she who asked Chen Pingjiang to pretend to be her boyfriend, and it was she who proposed the 50,000 yuan per month.

but……

How could you, such a big boss, be so bored as to do this kind of thing with yourself?

"With your net worth, don't you feel it's a loss to earn 50,000 yuan a month?"

Chen Pingjiang laughed carelessly: "What's wrong with fifty thousand? Fifty thousand is not money. Don't treat bean buns as dry food. Besides, you should not refuse free money."

Ge Mengshi can be said to have a deep understanding of Chen Pingjiang's "eccentricity" and "unruly" character.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little cold, and Ge Mengshi was digesting a lot of shocking information that popped up at once.

Chen Pingjiang asked, "Why did you quit just like that?"

"Nothing, I just don't want to work there anymore." Ge Mengshi made up an excuse and didn't want to talk about this matter in depth.

"Then what are your plans later?"

"Take a rest first, and we'll talk later."

Chen Pingjiang's eyes rolled around and he looked at Ge Mengshi in front of him again.

When you feel sleepy, someone brings you a pillow. Isn’t that just perfect?
I have the right experienced professional managers under my command.

As a top student who graduated from London Business School and the COO of a listed company, Ge Mengshi meets her own requirements in terms of both academic qualifications and work experience.

"Are you interested in working for me?"

Ge Mengshi was stunned for a moment. She felt that something was wrong.

"doing what?"

Chen Pingjiang thought for a moment and said, "I am currently in charge of the Internet company, but another catering company under me is currently in a state of free-range. Especially now that the weather is getting warmer in May, neither Xiao Chen BBQ nor Miaocha under my company has a particularly suitable manager. If you are willing, help me manage the catering company."

"Let me introduce Zhizhen Catering in detail. It currently has two catering brands. One is Xiaochen BBQ, which currently has eight branches, concentrated in Xianlin University Town; the other is Miaocha, which currently has nearly 20 branches, and the flagship store in Xinjiekou also opened some time ago."

"In fact, my planning and ideas in the catering industry are very ambitious. Although the barbecue restaurant is difficult to replicate, I only plan to cover the entire Dongjiang. But the Miaocha model is quite easy to replicate, and it may even cover the whole country one day, and it won't be a problem to go public. In addition, I have another catering brand concept, which will also be a popular brand once it is implemented."

Ge Mengshi was extremely surprised.

She was really curious about how energetic a person could be to be able to undertake so many projects.

The two brands have nearly thirty branches in total, and there are even new brands to be developed.

"Wait, are you the son of a large group, or the second generation of a rich or powerful official?"

Ge Mengshi felt that this must be the case, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why Chen Pingjiang could be so successful in his freshman year.

But unfortunately, Chen Pingjiang's answer disappointed her.

"What a bunch of second-generation rich and powerful people! My parents are honest workers. They worked hard to build this from scratch in just one year."

When Chen Pingjiang spoke, he also emphasized the two idioms "hard work" and "from nothing to something".

But this tone sounded like he was showing off to Ge Mengshi, and she even wanted to beat Chen Pingjiang up.

Listen, is this still human language?

Do you think that just anyone can build such a big empire through hard work?

People who have never started a business think that it is as easy as eating and drinking. Only after actually trying it do they know how difficult it is.

However, Ge Mengshi glanced at Chen Pingjiang. "This guy should not be included in this list."

At this time, Chen Pingjiang's voice sounded again: "I hope you will think about it carefully. Zhizhen Catering especially needs you to join. In fact, I am also looking for a good professional manager, but there is no suitable one for the time being. It will be more and more difficult for me to take care of so many things at the same time, and I don't want to cause the development of so many good projects to stagnate because of my personal reasons. If you are willing to join, I am personally willing to transfer 5% of my shares, and you will manage the company as a co-founder. In addition to providing general directions, I will not interfere with any of your decisions."

Chen Pingjiang knows too well the importance of excellent talents to an enterprise.

Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang three times at his thatched cottage.

Talent determines the height of an enterprise and leads the direction of its development. Talent is the most important resource for enterprise development.

Chen Pingjiang can certainly ensure the general direction and macro-strategy.

Specific matters still need to be carried out by the people below.

As for the 5% stake, it is nothing to Chen Pingjiang in the future. If he loses the stake because he feels sorry for it, he will never be able to succeed in the catering business. If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it with grass.

Moreover, Ge Mengshi’s identity is not an executive in the general sense, but a co-founder.

Is Ge Mengshi moved?
Of course I was moved!

Although relatively speaking, Zhizhen Catering is still small in scale, but with the support of Renren and Chen Pingjiang, it will not be short of resources and can start from a much higher level.

"So should I call you Mr. Chen from now on?"

After a while, Ge Mengshi chuckled and said.

Chen Pingjiang laughed and waved his hand: "What's the point of being so general or not between us? Just call me by my name. We are partners after all."

"How do I deal with this from now on? I rented you to pretend to be my boyfriend, and you became my boss. It's so confusing just thinking about it."

Chen Pingjiang said nonchalantly: "What's the big deal? I'm your boss in the company. If you need me, I'll just pretend to be your boyfriend."

However, Ge Mengshi shook her head: "That's enough. I don't want to make the relationship so complicated. I will explain it to my parents in the next two days to avoid misunderstandings and embarrassment in the future."

She herself is a decisive person.

If she continues like this, she will get more and more involved. At first, she was just angry for a moment, but now her status has changed, and she doesn't want to cause any misunderstandings in the future.
