Chapter 1268 That's too expensive
Lu Heng is really in a good mood recently. The main reason is that his engagement to Lin Su is getting closer.
Of course, there are many other reasons.
Bian Luyun Music has been successfully launched on major application download channels. Even though the current situation is not good, the future is bright!
Ele.me is back on track, and even under the fierce impact of Baidu Waimai in early June, it did not give in.
Led by Xiao Jianguo, he has launched several policies one after another, which has protected the existing market well and has the ability to compete for more shares.
At the beginning of the month, good news also came from Jumei Youpin.
Chen Ou personally called Lu Heng to report the good news. The turnover exceeded 100 million for the first time, and the net profit reached 5 million.
Less than a year has passed since Jumei Youpin transformed into the cosmetics e-commerce field, and its turnover exceeded 100 million. I have to say that this is amazing news.
Of course Chen Ou was extremely happy. Not only was he happy that he had made money, but he was even more happy that they had found the right direction and could work hard in one place.
And there is another point, the gambling agreement signed with Lu Heng at the annual meeting already has the possibility of winning.
Lu Heng had no regrets about this, he was still happy about it.
The more Jumei Youpin earns and the greater its value, the more benefits you will naturally receive.
You know, he holds a full 40% stake in Jumei Youpin!
In the future, whether he sells his shares to cash out or retains dividends, he will be sure to make a profit without losing money.
Nowadays, its own Youzi Technology has also shown extremely strong potential, attracting many major investors.
Lu Heng added an extra element of joy.
Enjoying the cool air-conditioning, Lu Heng thought, he really feels refreshed during happy events!
The phone rang and it was my mother.
"Come directly to the city center after work. I'll find a fashion designer to make you a formal suit for your engagement!"
"Mom, that's not the case! Who wears formal clothes in the summer!"
"Come if you want. You've been buying your own clothes this year, and I couldn't find a chance to buy them for you. I have to make a custom-made suit for you today. Anyway, it won't matter if you don't wear a coat then."
"Oh fine!"
On Army Day, the first day of August, after enjoying a month of extremely regular office life, Lu Heng once again embarked on a business trip.
In fact, it is not a business trip. The destination you are going to is Yuzi Technology, which is a subsidiary of Hengcheng Group.
Lu Heng, as the chairman of Hengcheng Group, went to Youzi Technology on behalf of the entire group to participate in the next most important financing talks!
Yes, financing talks!
The financing matter for Youzi Technology, which was proposed by Huang Xiaowei in mid-July, has come to an end within half a month.
The three venture capital institutions were politely rejected at the first opportunity. At that time, Xu Xin called Lu Heng to complain, saying that she was not short of money and did not want too many shares, so why didn't Lu Heng give her a chance?
.
Lu Heng could only smile and comfort him at that time, and told Xu Xin the main purpose of Yuzi Technology’s financing.
After Xu Xin heard this, she didn't bother her any more. She just said that if there were any good projects in the future, she would have to be notified.
Lu Heng did not comment, but just smiled and agreed.
If there is a good project, if you can swallow it alone, why bother looking for others to share it.
If you can't resist it yourself, then looking for Xu Xin is certainly a good choice.
Over the years, Capital Today under the leadership of Xu Xin has gained a very good reputation.
After the three venture capital institutions left the market, Pacific Insurance and Bitauto also exited one after another.
The former could not withstand the high price offered by Ping An of China, while the latter had no choice but to retreat in the face of the strength of its competitor Autohome.
There is no way, it is enough for Youzi Technology to have a strategic partner like Autohome, while Bitauto.com of the same type seems dispensable.
Even if Bitauto persists to the end and enters Youzi Technology, it will just be the icing on the cake and not gain much say.
Instead, a lot of money was wasted.
As a result, the only three remaining parties are Ping An of China, Sunshine Insurance, and Autohome.
In terms of the number of shareholders required, it’s pretty good!
Therefore, when Lu Heng arrived at Youzi Technology, he was greeted by Huang Xiaowei and Xue Mingxing and praised him.
“The financing work during this period has been done quite well!”
Xue Mingxing felt a little dazed after not seeing Lu Heng for a long time. Compared with what he remembered, Lu Heng seemed a little proud at this moment, so much so that when he praised himself, he was filled with joy.
Huang Xiaowei didn't feel this way. When she stayed at the headquarters, she often met with Lu Heng.
So she quickly reacted and said: "It's the chairman and president, you guys have a good plan!"
Xue Mingxing also wanted to say something similar as a compliment, but before he could say it, he was interrupted by Lu Heng raising his hand.
"The credit belongs to you. There is no need to give us high hats. Let's go to the conference room first and talk about the relevant situation!"
"Uh-huh"
Xue Ming went ahead and led Lu Hengyi and others to the conference room.
As we moved forward, we passed by the office area of Youzi Technology.
Lu Heng looked at the busy work scene, with more and more office workers, and nodded secretly.
Not only Hengcheng Group has carried out large-scale recruitment activities, but Youzi Technology has also recruited many people one after another.
Today, this small website company, which started with just over 30 people, has grown to employ 150 people.
And this number is still increasing, and one day in the future, it is entirely possible that it will exceed 500.
In fact, it stands to reason that it is enough for a general website company to have less than a hundred employees.
But Youzi Technology is different. As an online information platform service website with offline transaction capabilities, the number and types of employees required are extremely diverse.
Not much else to say, for a used car to be displayed on the Youzi used car website, it needs to go through many processes.
Vehicle quality inspection, review, evaluation, and a series of activities such as taking photos and communicating with car owners are required during the process. After all of this is completed, it is qualified to be listed on Youzi's website, allowing other users to view the information and conduct inquiry activities.
No other website can provide this kind of considerate service, and only Youzi Technology is currently doing it.
In fact, this is also the principle set by senior management such as Xue Mingxing from the beginning. They must be responsible for every car sold through Youzi and minimize disputes between car owners and buyers.
Because of the dispute between car owners and buyers, Yuezi Used Car Network will definitely be involved.
Lu Heng thought with emotion that Autohome currently only has more than 200 employees, but Yuzi already has more than 150 employees.
If you give Yuzi a little more time, it won’t be a dream to catch up with Autohome!
Entering the conference room, Lu Heng asked Xue Mingxing casually.
“Is the company’s office space sufficient?”
Xue Mingxing was stunned and immediately replied: "It's enough for now. A large number of employees are scattered across the country, so the company is not too crowded."
Lu Heng muttered: "It is enough for now, which means that if it develops for a while, it may not be enough?"
Xue Mingxing suddenly realized, "This is true. If the financing negotiations go smoothly and the funds are obtained, Youzi Technology will definitely conduct a round of recruitment. By then, it will not be enough. After all, we only have one floor of the office building."
The office building of Youzi Technology is still provided by Autohome.
It was written in the first cooperation contract and was considered one of the conditions for Autohome to become a shareholder. It required finding an office space and paying rent for two years.
However, if we are looking for another office space, it will no longer be Autohome’s business, but a major issue for Youzi Technology itself!
Lu Heng waved his hand, "After the financing is completed, send someone to find a suitable office building, preferably a small single-family building."
Xue Mingxing scratched his head, "If we want to rent, just rent the upper and lower floors of our current building and it will be enough!"
Lu Heng turned around and looked at him with a half-smile.
"Who said it was rented?"
Xue Mingxing asked in surprise: "Director Lu, do you mean to buy it? That's too expensive!"
expensive?
Chapter completed!
