Rebirth of the Entrepreneurship Era

The reason why Lin Xiaru laughed out loud was because she felt that Boss Ma was really naive.

I know very well that this domain name is actually in the hands of his competitors.

As a result, Boss Ma not only knew nothing about it, but was even deceived by the other party. The opponent told him that he bought the domain name to prepare a Tonghua website, but he actually believed it.

Really silly and naive.

Boss Ma saw Lin Xiaru laugh out loud, thinking that she also thought the fairy tale website project was nonsense, so he also laughed and said: "Actually, when I heard about this, I also thought it was ridiculous. The website to read fairy tales online, This is not a normal Internet project at all, it is just nonsense."

"How can such a thing with no business model succeed in the Internet industry?"

"The Internet industry must be linked to money, otherwise, how can it be done?"

"I am different from him. My eyes are very focused. I want to do e-commerce, and I want to help small businesses in China go global, connect with the world, and help them sell their things to the world!"

When Lin Xiaru heard his serious analysis, she felt that this matter was really ridiculous.

It seems that Boss Ma is a very self-centered, confident and even conceited person.

It's just that his current self-confidence is indeed somewhat self-righteous in his own eyes.

Because he didn't know what was going on at all, so he pointed out the situation to his competitors for a while. This oolong trouble was really a bit embarrassing.

His impassioned and well-planned comments not only failed to impress me at all, but made me rejoice that I had already made a decision not to invest in him in advance.

At this time, Boss Ma was still talking endlessly: "Mr. Lin, to tell you the truth, I have been observing the situation of this domain name. I found that his fairy tale website has not been launched. I suspect that this project has been aborted." , so I plan to communicate with him again in the next few days to see if he is willing to transfer this domain name, I am 90% sure that within a month or two, I will successfully get this domain name."

Lin Xiaru nodded with a smile on her face, but she didn't say anything.

This time I came to Hangzhou, and after seeing Boss Ma, I really let myself completely give up on Ali's team.

Boss Ma is completely confused about the situation, and has no idea of ​​the competitors who are eyeing him behind him, so he is blindly confident here.

Such a project, let alone 5 million US dollars, even if it is 500,000 US dollars, I will not vote.

After visiting Ali, Cai Chongxin invited Lin Xiaru to drink coffee at her hotel.

It is said to be drinking coffee, but in fact, I want to have an in-depth chat about investment-related matters.

Lin Xiaru felt very annoying, this feeling seemed to be Mingming. She already has someone she likes, but she is still forced to go on a blind date with another person.

What's more important is that the person on the blind date is much worse than his ideal person in all aspects.

But what can be done? Now that we have agreed to the blind date, out of etiquette, we have to wait until the blind date is over before telling the other party that the two of us are not suitable.

When talking about investment, Boss Ma did not participate, because Boss Ma knew that he was not good at financial and capital matters, which is Cai Chongxin's specialty.

And my real specialty is planning the business direction and future development with others. I have already done all of this, so when I talk about the specific matters of investment, I have to let Cai Chongxin do it himself, which will give him a better space to play.

However, at this moment, no matter how awesome Cai Chongxin is, it is impossible for Lin Xiaru to change his mind.

Lin Xiaru chatted with Cai Chongxin for over an hour,

But she did not give Cai Chongxin a clear investment intention on the spot.

She said that she needs to go back to Hong Kong and have a touch with the Hong Kong team before deciding whether to invest in this project or not.

This is also the favorite mediation method used by people in business.

Refuse directly in person, it doesn't look very good on the face, first make a buffer, and then find a reason to refuse when you go back, so it won't appear so straightforward.

Cai Chongxin didn't get the affirmative answer he wanted, and while he was a little disappointed, he was also a little worried.

He originally thought that after Lin Xiaru came and met Boss Ma, he would be able to make a decision soon, but he didn't expect Lin Xiaru to be so cautious, and he had to go back to discuss with the team.

In this way, if you want to wait for a definite result, you need to wait a little longer.

But he also knew that he couldn't force Lin Xiaru to make a decision, so he could only wait patiently for her news.

Lin Xiaru will stay in Hangzhou for one night, and leave by plane early the next morning.

When the two parted, Lin Xiaru looked at Cai Chongxin and asked him a question: "Chongxin, you and I have a good personal relationship, so I will ask you a question in private, why did you give up your job on Wall Street and come here?"

Cai Chongxin smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, I think Mr. Ma has a very strong entrepreneurial passion. I have rarely seen this kind of person in the United States for so many years."

Lin Xiaru sighed softly: "But passion alone may not necessarily lead to success."

As she spoke, she waved her hand and said, "Chongxin, I'm going back to rest. If there is any news, I will let you know as soon as possible."

Cai Chongxin didn't know why she said such a thing, and a strong uneasiness was already welling up in her heart.

She always felt that what Lin Xiaru said must mean something. Could it be that she was not satisfied with Boss Ma?

Or is she not satisfied with Ali's project?

Cai Chongxin couldn't figure it out for a while, so he could only drive back to Ali first, and wanted to chat with Boss Ma.

Boss Ma has been waiting for news of his victory. He has even decided that once Lin Xiaru decides to invest today, he will take his staff to have a big meal and open a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

But I didn't expect that after Cai Chongxin came, don't tell him two bad news.

First, Lin Xiaru did not make a decision immediately, but had to go back and discuss with the team before giving a definite answer;

Second, Lin Xiaru's attitude seemed a bit lukewarm, as if she couldn't see that she had a strong desire to invest in this project.

Based on Cai Chongxin's experience working on Wall Street for so many years, he speculates that Lin Xiaru's attitude today is that the message behind it is that he is not optimistic about Ali.

When Boss Ma heard this, he felt a little dazed.

He asked Cai Chongxin: "You said Mr. Lin is not optimistic about Ali? Why? Am I not clear enough just now?"

Cai Chongxin shook his head: "I think what you said is very clear, and the pattern is very big, but I don't understand why she would show such an attitude."

Boss Ma asked, "Is she trying to suppress our valuation on purpose?"

"It's not like." Cai Chongxin said: "She didn't even talk to me about the valuation during the whole process. It's like we are interviewing for a job. If the other party is unwilling to ask you how much money you want, then this matter is not a bit of a problem. Not too optimistic?"

Boss Ma couldn't help but smacked his lips, and said with a sad face: "Damn it, I thought she could make a decision today..."

Cai Chongxin sighed, and said: "We can only wait now, and I'm also chatting with several other capital investors to find us a sure alternative as soon as possible."

Boss Ma felt a little frustrated that the Goldman Sachs investment was not negotiated, but he was not discouraged, because he felt that even if Goldman Sachs failed, he would definitely be able to find other investments.

However, now that there is no money to come in, Ali will further cut down on food and clothing, because no one knows when the capital money will arrive.

...

At this moment, Xu Yiyang, who wholeheartedly wanted to invest money in Boss Ma, was selling military training uniforms at the entrance of the construction site with a tricycle along with his brothers in the dormitory.

By two o'clock in the afternoon, all the 2,100 sets of camouflage uniforms they had prepared were sold out at the gate of the fourth construction site.

The gross profit is more than 31,000 yuan. After deducting the commission given to the girls yesterday and the small cost of renting a tricycle, there is also a steady profit of 30,000 yuan.

Everyone was very excited, and Xu Yiyang also felt a sense of accomplishment.

After all, this time it is not based on the special advantages of the reborn, but a business opportunity based purely on the sense of smell.

After all the camouflage uniforms were sold out, Xu Yiyang said to the crowd: "Everyone, it's not the time to divide the money. This market is a big blank right now. We have to go to other schools to start before others find this business opportunity!"

Zhao Xin hurriedly said: "Old Xu, we will listen to you in everything, just make arrangements!"

Chen Meng also said: "That's right, brother Xu, from now on, little brother, I will follow your orders in everything!"

The others also nodded excitedly, waiting for Xu Yiyang's order.

Xu Yiyang immediately said: "There are many universities near our school. Zhonghai University and Zhonghai University of Finance and Economics are right in front of you. Tongji University and Fudan University are not far away, especially the latter two. They are large comprehensive universities with an estimated three to four thousand students. It’s not enough, we have to strike while the iron is hot, go ahead of others, go to these schools and collect all their military training uniforms, if you grab them, you will earn money!”

Everyone agreed loudly, so Xu Yiyang made a ranking.

He felt that the three comprehensive universities of Tongji University, Fudan University and Zhonghai University should be won first, and then other small and medium-sized universities should be taken down one by one.

It is less than three kilometers from China Overseas to Tongji, less than four kilometers to Fudan University, and about five kilometers to Zhonghai University, so Xu Yiyang chose Tongji as his first target.

Since Tongji is not his school, Xu Yiyang decided to go there first to find out the situation.

A few people were about to go back to the dormitory and change their clothes when a short, fat, middle-aged man came out from the construction site and waved, "Guys, wait a minute!"

Xu Yiyang turned around and asked, "You called us?"

"Yes!" The man nodded, trotted over and said, "Let me introduce myself, my surname is Lu, and I am the owner of a construction company."

Xu Yiyang hurriedly said, "Hello, Boss Lu."

As he said that, Xu Yiyang asked curiously: "Is this construction site yours?"

"No." Boss Lu said, "How can I afford such a large construction site? I am a big foreman. I have contracted a few jobs at several construction sites, and I have thousands of workers under my command."

Xu Yiyang nodded, and hurriedly asked: "Do you have anything to do with us?"

Boss Lu smiled and said: "That's right. I heard from the workers inside that you have a lot of good uniforms, and they only sell for 25 yuan a set. I probably checked and found that the quality is really good. I would like to ask Do you have any stock on hand?"

Xu Yiyang just wanted to say that you were late, but after thinking about it, he hurriedly changed his excuse and said: "The goods are still available, but they are temporarily gone. You have to go back to get them. When and how much do you want?"

Boss Lu said, "I plan to ask for 2,000 pieces, is that enough?"
