Wrapping tens of thousands of waists and riding cranes down to Yangzhou, this is the description and impression of the ancients on the south of the Yangtze River, on the one hand, it also shows the beauty of the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River and the attraction of humanistic temperament.

The temperature in the south of the Yangtze River in February is not high, and with the arrival of cold air from the north, it is still raining lingeringly, but it is under such circumstances that Li Yifan appeared at the airport in Hangzhou.

When I walked out of the airport, I saw the green Jiangnan that was completely different from the yellow eyes in the north at this time, and I was a little irritable after sitting on the plane for more than an hour, but I immediately calmed down at this time.

"What about here? Xiao Li! ”

There was a call in the distance, and Li Yifan looked up to see that Wang Teng was already waiting at the exit of the airport.

"Haha, Brother Wang has been doing lately, don't come unharmed?"

The two hands clasped together strongly, and then they looked at each other for a while.

"Haha, it's not bad, it's not bad, you kid has grown taller again!"

Looking at the handsome and extraordinary tall young man in front of him, Wang Teng, who was only in his early thirties, actually had a feeling that the years were urging people to grow old.

"Let's go, get in the car."

Wang Teng snatched the little luggage in Li Yifan's hand, and then led him to the parking lot.

“haha？ Brother Wang, this time it's really developed, the shotgun has been replaced, and even the Buick is on! ”

"Hehe, don't talk nonsense, if it weren't for the people who had to deal with those investors during this time. I can't even afford to buy this car. ”

Wang Teng said with a humble smile, during this time he has been negotiating commercial financing with two industry giants, what he said is true, if it is not for the sake of façade, he is reluctant to buy this car.

Since he left Beijing in October last year and started to establish the 40 thieves, his 40 thieves have become more famous than before, and there are more than 100,000 registered members in China, of course, these are mainly some small and medium-sized enterprises, but it is the entry of these small and medium-sized enterprises represented by the export-oriented economy that has given him enough confidence. Go and negotiate with those capital giants.

A few days ago, he finally got the giant eBay from the United States, and the other party has agreed not to fight against him, but to provide capital for his website, so that they can grow and grow, and the other party will become a shareholder of this new company.

After finalizing the second international financing of the year, Li Yifan finally came to Hangzhou three days before the start of the next semester, and the main purpose of this visit to Hangzhou was to continue to discuss the next development of their company with Wang Teng.

Wang Teng is sincere to Li Yifan, the little brother. When he felt the most difficult and confused, Li Yifan was always standing behind him. gave him the strongest support, which made him where he is today, so he cherishes this friendship with Li Yifan very much.

Although the funds on hand were not too rich, Wang Teng still did not ignore Li Yifan's reception specifications, and Li Yifan was arranged by him in a high-end hotel on the edge of the West Lake, which was once a special recuperation sanctuary for national leaders, and it was not until recent years that the restructuring began to open up to the people.

Li Yifan lives in Building 18, which is a small villa near the West Lake. From the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, you can overlook the entire West Lake, and the scenery is really not to say.

For dinner, the two of them ordered directly from the hotel, and then let people send them to the villa, where they ate, and while eating, Wang Teng also introduced to Li Yifan the entrepreneurial road after he returned to Hangzhou with his team of more than 20 people, as well as the recent development of the company.

"Hey! When I first came back. But it was hard enough, in order to save money, buy equipment, and pay the high cost of renting servers. Dozens of us were crammed into a few houses, eating, drinking, and drinking all the places every day, for months until the website was built. After the website was set up, the situation did not improve all at once, we also had to advertise through various channels to let people know that there is a free platform website like ours, and then what people can do on such a website, etc., at that time, in order to find someone to settle in, I was about to break my leg......"

Wang Teng drank wine while reminiscing about the most difficult years, in fact, Li Yifan had heard him say it countless times on TV in later generations, but none of them could compare to the shock of listening to him face to face this time.

When he said goodbye to the capital last year, Wang Teng at this time looked much thinner than at that time, and he was a lot darker.

"Don't say anything, come to Brother Wang, drink one, it's all in the wine......"

Looking at Li Yifan, who was clear-eyed and sincere, Wang Teng felt a lot better, for such a long time, he was not understood, relatives and friends, and even looked at him like a madman, the employees wavered, etc., all along, he didn't know how he survived.

There are so many people with the heaviest weight in his heart, and these people are friends of life and death who will not leave him in his most difficult time, and are worthy of intersecting, Li Yifan is definitely one, although during his entrepreneurial period, Li Yifan did not help by his side, but whenever he has no one to talk to him, he always thinks of calling Li Yifan, a distant friend, and every time he gets encouragement from Li Yifan.

After returning to Hangzhou, although Li Yifan invested 500,000 yuan, his start-up capital reached 1 million, but compared with the complicated and huge expenses, this money can be described as a drop in the bucket, after which Li Yifan has successively remitted money to him several times, although the amount is not too large, ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 yuan each time.

Although this money is not much, the heavy trust behind this number really touched Wang Teng, such a friend is a real friend!

"Okay, don't say more, it's all in the wine!"

Wang Teng and Li Yifan clinked glasses, and then dried up the beer in their hands in one gulp.

"Hey! I'm really unwilling! Those of us who worked hard and watched this website build step by step, and prosper step by step, as if we were our own children, but at this time, others waved checks and said to you, hey! This money is given to you, and then your child gives me half of it, although you don't want to sell it, but you have to accept it, this feeling is really uncomfortable! ”

Wang Teng's eyes were a little red and said to Li Yifan, during this time, he has successively completed two investments totaling 25 million US dollars from SoftBank and eBay.

And the price he paid was a 60% stake in this star enterprise that is rising rapidly like the rising sun.

How broad the future prospects of this website are, how much profit can be created, as his founder Wang Teng is very clear, two thousand Wu hundred thousand dollars, for the prospect of this website, it is definitely a worthwhile investment.

But just gave up the bulk of the future profits, Wang Teng didn't feel sorry for it, it was fake, but so what?

In order to avoid facing the competition of industry giants, in order to be able to quickly obtain funds and allow the company to develop rapidly, he had to make concessions in the negotiations and give up huge interests in exchange for the development space of this website.

When he was faced with a choice, he had been sleepless for several nights, and he and Li Yifan even discussed it until dawn on the phone, but Zuihou had to make such a difficult decision.

"Hey! There's no way around it, isn't it? The contract has been signed, the money has been in place, Brother Wang, don't be sad anymore, what we have to do next is to make this website better, quickly bigger and stronger, and then raise funds to go public, and when we have enough funds in hand, we can become a person at the same level as them, otherwise we will always be at their disposal. ”

Li Yifan's words lifted Wang Teng's spirits, indeed Xiao Li was right, if you want to be on an equal footing with them, you must quickly strengthen yourself and make your muscles stronger and stronger.

"In fact, Brother Wang, compared with this B2B business model, I am more optimistic about the future B2C model, so that every business can face consumers, such a business model, eliminating more intermediate links, in fact, this model of the website, in my opinion, the future prospects must be broader."

"Well, Xiao Li, what you said is really good, after we talked about this last time, I have also been paying attention to and investigating, it is true that the cost of shopping malls in China has been rising, and most of the consumers who choose to go to shopping malls are facing the pressure of rising prices, and we provide a B2C business model, as long as it is launched, I believe it will be a great success."

Wang Teng is also very sure of the B2C business model.

"So, Brother Wang, you have to hurry up! Now let's make these forty thieves bigger and stronger, go public and raise funds, and when we have enough funds in our hands, we can make the next step of independent investment, and we can directly throw those insatiable vampires aside. And if we promote the B2C model now, the time is not too ripe, which just gives us a buffer period. ”

"Oh? Weishenme said so? ”

"Hehe, Brother Wang, haven't you noticed, now computers are high-end goods for ordinary consumers, and there are a few that ordinary families can afford, and the construction of China's hospitality network is still quite lagging behind, if you want to promote the B2C model, how can you wait until personal computers and broadband services are popularized?"

"Hehe, look at my head, I forgot about it, but when will that be?"

"It doesn't take too long, it's only five or six years, so during this time, the main thing we have to do is to work hard to accumulate capital, lay a solid foundation, and practice real skills."
