Chapter 102 Cousin
What they don't know is that even if Ma Yibo doesn't come, someone will contact them in the next week or so and decide to invest in them;
The valuation of Didi Enterprises is not much different from that of Ma Yibo;
In the original space, Cheng Wei chose to continue to persevere until he spent his last penny.
At this time, a man named Zhu appeared, and for a time Cheng Wei got to know a liar.
This person I met on WeChat only chatted with Cheng Wei for half an hour before deciding to invest US$3 million in Didi.
Later, I checked and found out that he was Zhu Xiaohu from Jinshajiang Venture Capital.
Speaking of Zhu Xiaohu, he is definitely a legend. Most of the investors are young people, and most of the investment projects are transaction types;
And its investment philosophy was also widely circulated in the previous life:
First: choose a track with a large market size;
Second: Choose a defensible track;
Third: Have a standardized model.
With Zhu Xiaohu’s investment, Didi Taxi was officially launched on the road.
Most people should also know its subsequent development history, starting with its simple and crude subsidy model that made the entire market position crazy.
But Cheng Wei doesn't know this now. If he knew, he would definitely visit him as soon as possible instead of waiting for the other party to come to him.
At the same time, it will not agree to Ma Yibo’s investment;
Compared with Jinshajiang Investment, personal investment is not even one or two points behind, especially since Ma Yibo is not famous now.
But who makes Ma Yibo a prophetic man?
Nothing if.
"Cousin, have you finished get off work? Let's have dinner together tonight";
"Ah, Yibo, you have come to the capital"?
It was already after five o'clock in the afternoon when we came out of Didi. It can be seen that the following words to Cheng Wei and Wang Gang took a lot of time;
It only takes more than half a minute to finalize the investment, but the subsequent materials and documents, etc., all need time to be perfected;
In addition, Cheng Wei and Wang Gang were also fascinated by Ma Yibo's suggestions;
Before, they may have had a general idea about Didi, but they were not so detailed;
But now, with Ma Yibo's help, it suddenly became much clearer.
"Well, I just arrived today and will go back tomorrow to see if you have time in the evening";
Regarding his cousin, Ma Yibo really has complicated emotions, and he is both a teacher and a friend without exaggeration;
When Ma Yibo was in junior high school, he and his cousin went to the home of his cousin Wen Xinyue to take extra classes, while Wen Xinyue was studying in college;
As you can imagine, giving supplementary lessons to their junior high school students is an excellent job.
And because of this, as the contact lasts longer, the relationship changes from relatives to friends;
However, when everyone started working and they were not in the same city, Ma Yibo could only keep his gratitude to his cousin in his heart;
I think that when Ma Yibo graduated, his first choice city was not Yangcheng, but the capital city in the north. This had a lot to do with the fact that his cousin was in this city;
But in the end, due to various reasons, I went south to Yangcheng.
Cousin Wen Xinyue is Ma Yibo’s aunt’s daughter;
There are two sisters, Wen Xinyue is the youngest, and Wen Xinxing is the eldest.
No, now that we have arrived in the capital, can we not meet our cousin Wen Xinyue?
And Wen Xinyue's workplace is also very good, it is the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and there is also a career editor, which is a very coveted job.
When she came to the capital on her graduation trip, her cousin Wen Xinyue invited Ma Yibo to have hot pot in the subway shopping mall in Zhongguancun.
"Okay, then I won't work overtime. You came all the way here. I'll call your brother-in-law and ask him to come over in the evening."
"By the way, you probably don't have anywhere to live, so just stay at my house";
Wen Xinyue also takes great care of Ma Yibo and will do everything she can think of.
Originally, Ma Yibo wanted to say that he would stay in a hotel, but after thinking about it, it seemed inappropriate;
If there was no room in Wen Xinyue's house, that would make sense, but there is indeed one room that is empty now;
You know, Wen Xinyue had already purchased a three-family house of 100 square meters in the capital in July 2012. It is said that her husband's family sold the farmland to raise the down payment;
Fortunately, housing prices in the capital are not high now, and the unit price they paid was just over 20,000.
Wen Xinyue and her husband both have graduate degrees, so there is no great pressure to afford the mortgage.
In the last life, the two finally changed to a smaller one but located in Zhongguancun;
Although it is only 60 square meters, the unit price has exceeded 100,000 per square meter. Even if the previous house is sold, the pressure will be very high.
Although it is an old and small house, it is in a good school district;
Starting from kindergarten, all the way up, they are from Huaqing University, Huaqing University Kindergarten, Huaqing University Affiliated Primary School, Huaqing University Affiliated Middle School, Huaqing University Affiliated High School;
Can the price of housing in such a school district be low?
Even if the country cancels school district housing in 2022, even if you go to school nearby, the houses in that place will be very popular and will be snatched up as soon as they are released;
When people on the Internet are clamoring that housing prices will plummet and break their bones, those with real strength will never hesitate when it is time to take action.
The waiting process is undoubtedly very boring;
However, being in Zhongguancun, the Chinese Academy of Sciences is the core area of Zhongguancun, and there are Huaqing University and Capital University next to it. If you want to kill time, it is not a big problem.
After making an appointment to meet at the entrance of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at six o'clock, Ma Yibo strolled alone on this street, leisurely and unscrupulously passing the time;
In fact, it is not accurate to say that he is passing time, because Ma Yibo is thinking about whether there are any other companies that he can invest in. After much deliberation, there is no one suitable for him;
In Zhongguancun, deep in the preface of Huaxia Technology, there are not many people on the road during the day;
But in various coffee shops and other leisure places, from time to time you can see young people in suits and leather shoes explaining to each other?
As for whether it was to attract investment or introduce products, Ma Yibo had no way of knowing.
"Mr. Lei, let's make this decision. Next week, I will ask Zhao Hui to come over and finalize the details with your company."
If Ma Yibo were here, he would definitely know who the speaker was, it was Wu Yuanfang;
If Ma Yibo saw the person Wu Yuanfang called Mr. Lei, he would definitely scream "Rebus";
Rebus is also full of legends. After Rebus graduated from university, he was fooled by Kingsoft’s boss in the talent market and successfully joined Kingsoft. Finally, Rebus became the general manager of Kingsoft;
Later, Mr. Lei unexpectedly founded Xiaomi Group by himself;
In later generations, although Xiaomi Group started with mobile phones, it has also made profound achievements in smart home and artificial intelligence;
A Xiaomi employee personally rectified the name of his company online:
If there was no Xiaomi in China, you might now be using a 56k China Coollink, a tens of thousands of yuan HTC Sony, and a low-quality power bank and power strip bought for hundreds of yuan;
Before Xiaomi came into many backwater industries, some experienced huge profits and some were in chaos;
Although Xiaomi is not currently leading the world in technology, and in your opinion, it is not a great company that brings glory to the country, but we hope to be given some respect and thanks.
And now Wu Yuanfang seems to have finalized a cooperation with Rebus;
Yes, it is cooperation.
After Wu Yuanfang learned yesterday that Ma Yibo had made tens of millions from options, he paid more and more attention to Ma Yibo's previous words;
Because of this, Wu Yuan and his wife An Ruotong caught the first flight to the capital the next day, and their destination was Xiaomi.
What we need to do is invest in Xiaomi;
Yes, invest in Xiaomi;
For Ma Yibo, this kind of thing is unthinkable. Even when Xiaomi was founded in 2010, the funds provided by shareholders were not enough to kill Ma Yibo's little arms and legs;
What's more, now that 2013 is approaching, Xiaomi's valuation is US$4 billion after its D-round financing in June 2012;
Now that five months have passed, can the valuation be the same?
"Yuanfang, don't always call me Mr. Lei, just call me Brother Lei. When you get back, help me say hello to your father";
Rebus's attitude towards Wu Yuanfang was also very cordial, as if he were his own brother;
Yes, Wu Yuanfang's father had helped Rebus several times when he was not as powerful as he is now, and the kindness remained like this;
In addition, not only Rebus is developing smoothly, but the development of Yuanfang Group in recent years is also remarkable;
All of a sudden, the contacts slowly started to increase again.
When Xiaomi was founded, it invited Yuanfang Group to become a shareholder, but at that time, Yuanfang Group was a little overwhelmed;
The global financial crisis in 2008 caused the Yuanfang Group, which mainly focuses on the real estate industry, to be severely damaged. Yuanfang Investment has almost become a decoration;
In fact, the main reason was that Wu Tianxia, who dominated Yuanfang Group at the time, was not optimistic about the Red Sea market of mobile phones. Competition from foreign brands, which was very powerful, made it even more difficult;
When Rebus was at Kingsoft, he was indeed a bull, and even as an individual investor, he was very discerning;
But this does not mean that Rebus can achieve good results if he starts his own business;
How many people have outstanding abilities on the platform, but after they come out, they gradually decline;
With the development of Xiaomi, the valuation has increased significantly, and Yuanfang Group is even more afraid to invest.
"Brother Lei, I'll take care of you";
"In the evening, my wife and I will invite you and your sister-in-law to have dinner together. Do you have time?";
Rebus originally wanted to refuse. For him, time is extremely precious, so how could he possibly take time out temporarily?
But he thought about what happened to Wu Yuanfang and his family before, and immediately said to the secretary next to him: "Book a table in Quanjude, and help me cancel the evening arrangements by the way";
"Okay, since you and Ruotong are here from afar, I must do my best to be a landlord";
