Chapter 243 The expanding US-US Open
At 1:30 in the afternoon, Huang Yaoshi, the president of US-US.com, took several senior executives to the elevator at the entrance of the company, waiting for the most lavish financial backer to come and inspect.
The two people who came here today accounted for more than half of the US$60 million in financing received this time, so we have to treat it with caution.
"Coming."
Hearing the reminder from the assistant next to him, Huang Yaoshi immediately walked towards the newly opened elevator and said to Chen Tianhe and the others: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Xu, welcome to the US-US Network for inspection."
"Old Huang, you are too polite. We just came over casually to take a look."
Having met Huang Yaoshi before, Chen Tianhe teased him politely.
"It's okay. The staff at our headquarters are all performing their duties. A few of us can come out temporarily and it will not affect the company's normal operations."
In front of the two investors, Huang Yaoshi was quite cautious when speaking.
There is no way around it. He has been in this Internet circle for many years and has suffered a lot. The US Open is the project he has the highest hopes for, and there is no room for failure.
"Hahaha, Lao Huang, you are too strict. This is your first time meeting this Brother Xu."
Without paying attention to the other party's details, Chen Tianhe introduced the young brother and his wife next to him.
"Mr. Xu, nice to meet you."
After shaking hands with the other party, Huang Yaoshi was a little surprised at how young the other party was, but there was no clue on his face.
He can bring the capital tycoons of the two leading investors into the game, and even if he doesn't know the other party's true background, he can guess that the other party has a lot of energy.
How could he be an ordinary person who casually took out 20 million US dollars and invested in his website with an uncertain future?
"Mr. Huang, I have long admired your name. This is my wife Shi Yuxuan. Come and take a look."
Seeing the CEO of the US-US Network, who was more than a year younger than Mr. Chen, Xu Renshan found that there was really not much difference between him and the photos on the Internet.
At that time, Xiaonei.com founded by the other party was very popular. Unfortunately, time did not show its favor, and Huang Yaoshi had to sell Xiaonei.com. Now, after changing its name, the website has been listed in North America, with a market value of nearly 8 billion US dollars, which is sad.
Naturally, Xu Renshan would not talk about this kind of thing. Even when he used the school network founded by the other party, he had to avoid it a little bit.
Although the other party's previous ventures had mishaps in the middle, the US-US Open currently being operated will be the most successful one for the other party, so successful that it has no friends.
Let's just say that Mr. Chen, who is standing next to him now, and the two of them are still smiling and laughing, will have to fall out at some point.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Xu Renshan. He is just for the appreciation of wealth and does not have such a strong desire to control.
"Hello, Mrs. Xu."
Nodding to the pretty Mrs. Xu, Huang Yaoshi led everyone forward: "Guys, let me show you around the company. This is..."
At this time, Meimei.com was not the giant that it would be with a market value of over a trillion dollars more than ten years later. The office space was still on the third floor of a certain hotel building, and the overall feeling was only average.
Looking at the ordinary office environment in front of him, with a structure similar to that of an ordinary small website, Xu Renshan couldn't help but feel a little sad.
However, there are still some differences.
For example, the LCD screen hanging in the office area is scrolling through the traffic data of the US-US network.
There is also a Meimei China area. A large map of China shows the major cities where Meimei.com has been opened and served, which is relatively intuitive.
"Mr. Huang, who are these people?"
When passing an office, Xu Renshan looked at many people sitting inside and asked curiously.
"These are the candidates who came for interviews..."
When the other party asked, Huang Yaoshi answered casually.
As the CEO of a rapidly expanding website, he often pays attention to the operation of various departments in the company, and does not need any assistant to remind him.
After roughly looking at several major departments of the company, Huang Yaoshi led a few people to the small conference room and sat down to rest for a while.
"Your office space is still a bit too crowded. The new office space hasn't been renovated yet, okay?"
Having read relevant information on Meimei.com before, Xu Renshan remembered that the other party had rented a new, larger office space, so he asked casually.
Based on what I saw earlier, the environment was a bit crowded, and some departments even used temporary spaces on the first floor.
"It's like this. Although the office space we rented previously was a little larger than it is now, with the expansion of the company, the new space is still a bit small. To avoid trouble, we rented a new space on the west side of the North Fourth Ring Road.
That side of the road..."
Regarding this point, Huang Yaoshi introduced the current situation of the company in detail.
Because of the US$60 million in financing previously obtained, the development of the US Open has been put on fast forward. Every department is expanding, and the new venue that was originally thought to be sufficient feels a bit too crowded.
In order to avoid wasting funds and avoiding the trouble of moving the company, Huang Yaoshi moved to a new location at once and planned to move there early next month.
At this location, he doesn't even have a private office.
Of course, this matter still needs to be explained clearly to prevent investors from thinking that they are spending money randomly.
You know, this year many group buying websites have been hit hard one after another. The leading websites previously boasted that they would raise millions of dollars, but in the end they were unable to obtain follow-up funds. It can be described as a world of ice and fire.
They are lucky to be able to get 60 million US dollars at the US Open and achieve overtaking in a corner.
"In terms of company operations, we still trust Mr. Huang."
After listening to each other's stories, Chen Tianhe and Xu Renshan expressed their trust in each other one after another.
This time they came here to simply learn about the US Open. After visiting, they stayed for half an hour and then left together.
"Brother Chen, I'll see you tonight."
"See you tonight."
Back in the parking lot, Xu Renshan and Mr. Chen separated. It was still early and it would not be too late to meet again in the evening.
"Husband, you don't have to worry about me. It just so happens that I have a few friends in the capital, and we just want to meet up for dinner."
Sitting in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce, Shi Yuxuan said to her husband with a smile.
Previously, Mr. Chen invited her husband to have afternoon tea, but he refused.
At this point, Shi Yuxuan can feel her husband's thoughts.
The banquet in the evening was a gathering of several company CEOs, and it was also a good opportunity for her husband to integrate into the circle. Naturally, Shi Yuxuan would not go there.
"It's okay. Brother Chen and I meet often anyway, so there's nothing to talk about over afternoon tea. I see you didn't eat much for lunch, so let's go to Oriental Plaza and have a look."
Xu Renshan didn't care about this and talked about the next trip.
Meet new friends and communicate better at the dinner party in the evening.
It just so happens that it's only around three o'clock in the afternoon, so I can go find some delicious food in the capital and fill my stomach first, so as not to be embarrassed about not having enough to eat at night.
"OK."
Seeing her husband say this, Shi Yuxuan naturally responded happily.
Chapter completed!
