"Hello, Mr. Xu, I am Zhang Nan, the person in charge of Tuxi APP. Can I spare your time for two minutes?"

Xu Dong was interrupted when he was speaking, and he frowned. Following the direction of the sound, he saw a woman in her thirties squeezing over.

This is not the first time Xu Dong has encountered entrepreneurs who used this method to sneak into the venue and attract angel investment.

"I'm very sorry, madam, if we are talking about financing matters, you can add my assistant's contact information first, and we can make an appointment later."

Xu Dong smiled and said perfunctorily.

Chen Heyu frowned in thought. He felt that the person in front of him looked familiar. He had short hair and a round face. He felt like he had seen him somewhere before.

"Mr. Xu, can I just spare you a minute and take a look at our products?"

Zhang Nan insisted that she knew the shirk in Xu Dong's words, and if she missed this opportunity, she would miss it forever.

SUG Haina prefers to invest in new companies and products, so she chooses another venture capital institution, and she has no confidence in convincing investors.

"Mr. Chen, let me excuse you for a moment."

"Mr. Xu, if you don't mind, let's come together. I'm also more interested in new products on the Internet track."

Chen Heyu had already remembered the identity of the woman. She was born in the 1980s and was the founder of a photo community. Her appearance was 80% similar to the one on Qiandu Encyclopedia.

He did not expect that at the impromptu exchange meeting, he would meet the future mother of Douyin, the strongest manager in the universe, and the most powerful partner behind Zhang Yiming.

"Then let's go together."

Xu Dong didn't care. Internet companies have been booming in the past few years. Only a few can survive. Many entrepreneurs can't even figure out the profit model.

In the private room next to the conference hall.

Zhang Nan turned on the projector, first demonstrated the product functions, and then introduced the product prospects and profit methods.

Although he spoke fast, his enunciation was very clear. He finished his long speech in just ten minutes, and then looked at Xu Dong expectantly, hoping that what he had just said would impress him.

Chen Heyu sneered in his heart and had no interest in this product at all. It is now 2012, the penetration rate of smartphones is less than 40%, and the traffic charges are horribly higher.

The phone bill package he uses is 128 yuan per month, the traffic is 400MB, and the excess is 0.5 yuan per MB. The monthly living expenses of ordinary college students are less than 1,000 yuan, so why should they play in the picture community?

At least we have to wait until 4G becomes popular and traffic rates drop before we have the opportunity to make such products.

Zhang Nan's APP basically "borrowed" foreign Facebook and Music in its functional modules and UI design, and there is no innovation.

Sure enough, Xu Dong shook his head and refused directly. SUG Haina was powerful, but it was not someone who could exchange money with a PPT.

Zhang Nan felt depressed when he saw this.

Chen Heyu lowered his head and whispered to Zhou Xiaoyu, his voice was very soft and did not attract the attention of others.

This kind of episode in the exchange meeting was also played out in other private rooms. Some people were very happy after receiving the investment, while others left in despair.

Zhang Nan carried the computer and walked out of the hotel door, only to feel that the sky was dark.

"Oh, I can only think of other ways."

She sighed heavily and planned to take a trip to Shanghai tomorrow, maybe there would be a chance of improvement.

"Ms. Zhang, please stay."

At this time, Zhou Xiaoyu chased him out and handed him a business card.

"Shanhai Capital, Zhou Xiaoyu."

Zhang Nan's face turned from gloomy to clear, he squeezed out a smile and silently read the letter on the card.

"My boss is very interested in your project. Ms. Yue Zhang, let's talk in depth. Do you have time?"

"When you are free, you are free."

The mountains and rivers are full of doubts and there is no way, and the willows and flowers are dark and the flowers are bright in another village.

Zhang Nan immediately agreed. The company's expenses have long been beyond its means, and the employees' salaries have not yet been paid next month. Of course she is willing to get the approval of investors.

On the other side, Chen Heyu said hello to Xu Dong and left early.

…

When Zhang Nan saw Chen Heyu again, he recognized him instantly.

Chen Heyu is also looking at this "strong business woman", the woman who will single-handedly create a powerful Douyin universe in the future. She looks round and round in appearance, with bright eyes, and a hint of fatigue.

"Mr. Chen, are you interested in Tuxi?"

Zhang Nan couldn't hold his breath and asked the question first.

"This is a good product, but it is too advanced. Does Mr. Zhang know the current domestic traffic rates? And what percentage of monthly phone charges account for revenue?"

Chen Heyu did not answer directly, but asked two questions.

Zhang Nan thought for a while and reported a rough figure. After hearing this, Chen Heyu shook his head and said, "This is why Xu Dong is unwilling to invest in you."

"First, the current network speed and traffic costs cannot support the development of the picture community;"

"Second, the development of the Internet is still in the tool era, and netizens prefer products that help them, rather than wasting money and time on ineffective sharing;"

In the future, the sharing economy will give birth to some phenomenal products, such as Douyin, Kuaishu and Little Green Book, but these are all based on mature technology and network environment.

Little Green Book, launched in August 2014;

Douyin, launched in September 2016;

It was quickly matured and launched in November 2012, but its real explosive period was in 2015.

"What does Mr. Chen mean?"

Zhang Nan was a little confused. Since you don't like my products, why did you invite me to do it? Just walk the monkey?

"I would like to hire Mr. Zhang as a professional manager of the company. The salary will be favorable and at the top level in the country."

"An annual salary of one million, equipped with a RV."

Chen Heyu smiled and said calmly.

Zhou Xiaoyu on the side widened his eyes. Mr. Chen's brainstorming was beyond his expectation. Zhang Nan also had a surprised expression.

"Mr. Chen, first of all, thank you very much for your trust, but I still want to start my own business, so I'm sorry."

Zhang Nan smiled bitterly and refused without hesitation.

"If you have any conditions you can raise, or tell me your concerns."

Chen Heyu continued.

There is no reason why Zhang Yiming can impress her, but he can't.

"I don't want to let down my friends who started the business together, and I don't want Tuxi to be abandoned halfway."

Zhang Nan thought for a moment and said in a low voice.

"Well, let's do this. Shanhai will fully acquire Tuxi APP, and you can lead the original team to join the new company."

Chen Heyu's plan is full of sincerity, and it can be said to have given Tu Xi a perfect ending. It is not so much the acquisition of Tu Xi as the acquisition of Zhang Nan himself.

"What about Tu Xi? How to deal with it?"

Zhang Nan asked.

"Stop development and version updates, wait until next year when operators increase speeds and reduce fees, then restart. At that time, it will be unified and operated under the new company."

Chen Heyu replied with sincerity.

In 2012, it was announced that 4G licenses would be issued next year, and the mobile era was about to come.

This is also the reason why he must win Zhang Nan. In terms of company management, Chen Heyu does not want to invest too much energy, grasp the big direction, and leave the rest to the managers.

Why bother living your life again and continuing to work so hard?

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your appreciation. I will go back and discuss this plan with the team and get back to you within two days. Is that okay?"

Zhang Nan was moved. After experiencing rejections from more than a dozen venture capital firms, she understood that it would be difficult to find a more generous sponsor than Shanhai Capital.

"No problem, please feel free to contact Mr. Zhou when you get a reply."

Chen Heyu pointed at Zhou Xiaoyu and smiled slightly. Judging from the other person's look and micro-expression, Zhang Nan had already agreed.

After Zhang Nan left, Zhou Xiaoyu asked.

"Mr. Chen, what is the name of the new company you are talking about?"

"Future-Tech Corporation, I hope the company can make products that are beyond the times."

Chen Heyu stood up, and various concepts such as artificial intelligence, chips, battery technology, robots, and VR burst into his mind.
