The ideal building in Zhongguancun has been believed by entrepreneurs in Beijing as a feng shui treasure land for starting a business in recent years. It seems to have some mysterious luck. The reason is of course that Sina and Baidu have come out of this building. The start-up ofo has also set up offices.
it's here.
The late August sunshine fell on the curtains of the building. Dai Wei's office was brightly lit.
Entrepreneurs don't have weekends. Dai Wei went to work as usual today. He entertained the visiting Zhu Xiaofu and was puzzled and dissatisfied with his explanation.
Dai Wei's family background is good, and his entrepreneurial journey has been smooth sailing. He once said bluntly in the media: Capital is here to make money, so give him a chance to make money. The implication is that capital must respect the dreams of entrepreneurs.
I have the final say in the company!
This idea is undoubtedly very inconsistent with the mainstream. Not to mention entrepreneurs, even companies like Vanke with a market value of more than 200 billion, now Boss Yao is using practical actions to tell all managers that capital is your boss!
"What should I say?" Dai Wei poured a glass of water, walked to the desk, leaned against the desk, and looked at Zhu Xiaolu.
As the director and general manager of Jinshajiang Venture Capital, Zhu Xiaofu’s most proud achievement so far is investing in Didi. He has dealt with the entrepreneurial team of Dai Wei and knows that Dai Wei is a “shaft” even better than Didi Chengwei.
"The person explained:"
Xiao Dai, you have to understand that capital is also divided into circles. I’m not saying that if you take the money from our Jinshajiang Venture Capital, you can’t take the money from the Phoenix Fund. We don’t have such a big face. Recently, Didi and Uber (China)
A subsidy war, you know that, right?"
Dai Wei said in confusion: "Who doesn't know this?" Everyone in the Internet circle knows that Didi and Uber (China) have recently started a war.
Zhu Xiaofeng said earnestly: "Xiao Dai, as far as I know the data, subsidy competition has begun in major and medium-sized cities across the country, and Didi is burning 100 million US dollars a day. Do you think this feud is big? You
Do you want the capital circle behind Didi, or do you want the capital circle from Phoenix Fund?
I think Alibaba and Tencent are the two poles in China’s Internet field! Let me tell you a little story. When Didi’s Mr. Cheng and Wang Gang went to Shenzhen to discuss investment, they took Pony’s money, but when they came back they couldn’t even see Teacher Ma.
I personally suggest you think about it carefully."
Pony's English name is pony. People in the circle who interact with him call him that. This is better than directly calling him "Mr. Ma", "Hua Teng", "Pony" and other titles. So,
Sometimes it is beneficial to have an English name.
Dad Ma, as netizens jokingly call him, likes to be called "Teacher Ma" the most. In 2016, Ma Yun, the chairman of Alibaba's board of directors, was already a top player in the world and would basically follow his preferences.
Similarly, Xu Hengda likes others to call him "Professor Xu".
Dai Wei suddenly fell into deep thought after what he said. The biggest bosses of venture capital in the Internet are indeed Alibaba and Tencent. What's more, there are companies such as Softbank and Apple behind Didi. And Phoenix Fund's "circle of friends" seems a bit weak.
!
"Brother Zhu, I will discuss this with my team."
Zhu Xiaofu stood up and shook hands with him, "Okay. Xiao Dai, you have to do it as soon as possible. I'm leaving first. Let me know if you make a decision."

Teacher Bai Xingguobai has been enjoying life in Jingxin University recently. He gave up the power of liaison between Jingxin University and Jinggao to teacher Wu Manqing of the Youth League Committee, and he is in charge of the "College Student Entrepreneurship Competition" organized by Phoenix Fund at Jingxin University.
As soon as it was revealed on the Internet that Phoenix Fund acquired Uber (China), he immediately became famous in the entrepreneurial circles of the entire university. A large number of entrepreneurial projects from school students were submitted to him.
It should be noted that not all entrepreneurial projects can get venture capital. Even if entrepreneurs go to venture capital, they will not see well-known investors like Zhu Xiaohu. Therefore, this will form a hierarchy.
In the field of entrepreneurship, it is undoubtedly the weakest level for college students to start their own businesses. For example, Dai Wei started a tea restaurant night business. This is a very small business. What does high-level entrepreneurship look like?
Lei Jun founded Xiaomi!
Therefore, don’t be overloaded with the chicken soup of success studies. The best way to start a business is to start a business after working. A better choice is to become a corporate CEO before starting a business. People like Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, Jerry Yang, Larry-
After all, entrepreneurial myths like Page are in the minority.
There is a venture capital circle in colleges and universities. Zhang Xiaofeng, who is currently publishing a book for Didi Chengwei and Liu Qing, is in this circle.
There is another reason why Teacher Bai became popular. Starting a business for college students is a glorious achievement.
The College Student Entrepreneurship Competition is jointly organized and is a competition at the municipal level. How can a second university like Beijing Xinxin University alone bring it up? Therefore, leaders of many universities are willing to talk to Teacher Bai:
Phoenix Fund is so rich, why don't you consider investing in our classmate's project?
On August 21, at noon, Bai Xingguo was waiting at home for his wife Wei Caiyan to put on her makeup and dress up. "Caiyan, hurry up."
"Why are you urging me?" Wei Caiyan appeared at the door of the bedroom, wearing only a pair of jeans, and said dissatisfiedly.
Bai Xingguo thought that his beloved wife was having fun with her husband again, and was about to go in to help when the phone suddenly rang.
"I'll go!" Bai Xingguo looked at the number, went to the study to answer the phone, took a breath, and immediately smiled, "Mr. Zhang, hello, hello."
The call was from Zhang Siding from Ofo, who was Dai Wei's deputy. He said with a smile: "Teacher Bai, I'm really sorry to bother you on your day off."
"Haha, Mr. Zhang is too polite. I just serve everyone."
Zhang Siding smiled and said: "Well...Teacher Bai, let me tell you the truth. Dai Wei was just warned by the capital behind Didi that we are not allowed to accept funds from Phoenix Investment. So..."
Bai Xingguo's face immediately dropped, but his voice was still very enthusiastic, "It's okay, it's okay. I understand. I hope we have a chance to cooperate next time." He hung up the phone and walked out of the study. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he slammed the phone.
He slapped it on the dining table, "Made!"
Wei Caiyan had just finished changing his clothes and came out. This time he changed into a long black skirt, "What's wrong? Didn't I just pick out clothes? As for losing such a temper?"
Bai Xingguo waved his hand and said, "Cigarette smoking has nothing to do with you. It's a matter of work." He lit up a cigarette and took a deep breath.
Wei Caiyan didn't believe it and looked at her husband suspiciously, "It really has nothing to do with me?"
Bai Xingguo's mouth was very strict. Even though he was so angry that he was almost fuming, he still kept his mouth shut, "Well. If you're ready, let's take a taxi there. I can't drive in this state."
Wei Caiyan said "Oh" and continued to go in to pick out clothes.
Bai Xingguo didn't care about his wife, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
What does Ofo think of him? Toilet paper? Just throw it away after wiping your butt? The so-called warnings from Didi’s management are all excuses. In the final analysis, Ofo changed its mind on its own. This was not their attitude when they first came to discuss investment.
What's more important is that he has submitted a project to invest in ofo, which is very likely to become his performance! As a result, ofo screwed him over, how could he not be angry?
Mudd!

…
Jinggao’s courtyard house on the east side of the Forbidden City welcomed friends one after another in the afternoon.
Bai Xingguo and Wei Caiyan arrived shortly after Guan Yujia arrived with the chefs, about three o'clock in the afternoon.
Later, Li Wei brought Xiao Wang over.
Then, Young Master Xie came over with his girlfriend Ye Zi. He looked at this luxurious and restrained courtyard house and joked: "I'll go, Mr. Jing, your yard is awesome! We are so envious of it."
Jing Gao laughed and cursed: "You sister, get out of here."
Everyone was drinking tea and chatting in the living room. The screen of "Glory of the King" on Jing Gao's gaming phone was projected on the TV screen. Bai Xingguo was playing happily. It would be very scary for a man to have no hobbies!
Of course, Teacher Bai plays Honor of Kings not because he loves it, but because Jing Gao loves this game. Li Wei is also playing.
Jing Gao introduced Li Mengwei to Young Master Xie, "This is my girlfriend Li Mengwei. This is Xie An, my college roommate and good friend. Weiwei, you can just call him Young Master Xie. Next to him is his girlfriend Ye Ning
."
Li Mengwei shook hands with Xie An graciously and said with a smile: "Hello, Xie An." She could tell that Jing Gao was joking. She could also call him "Young Master Xie", but she wanted to be more formal.
Xie An laughed and said: "Hello, sister-in-law. Don't listen to Jing Gao's nonsense. Who am I? My dad is still working for him. Hey, Lao Jing, my sister-in-law is so beautiful, but you have such emotional intelligence.
How did you catch up?"
This younger sibling is more beautiful than Xiao Xueyan, whom he wanted to introduce to Jing Gao before.
"When you meet the right person, you only need to take one more look in the crowd to reap love. When you meet the wrong person, even if your emotional intelligence is invincible, it will be in vain. Understand?" Jing Gao poured a mouthful of poisonous milk into Xie An.
Everyone in the living room suddenly laughed.
Li Mengwei also chuckled. She was instantly charming and extremely beautiful. She said hello to Ye Ning again. Ye Ning looked at her and said bluntly: "Sister Weiwei, just call me Ye Zi. You are so beautiful."
"Thanks!"
Jing Gao greeted Xie An, and Ye Ning sat down and poured tea for them. "Young Master Xie, who is the older one between us? Should you call me Sister-in-law Weiwei?"
Xie An chuckled, "I don't care about that. Anyway, I've got the advantage." He is two months younger than Jing Gao.
While we were talking nonsense, An Zhiwen came in with a mature and charming woman, "Mr. Jing, your place is great."
Jing Gao was slightly startled when he saw the beautiful woman beside An Zhiwen, and joked: "Lao An, you can do it! Sister Jing, congratulations to you."
The woman An Zhiwen brought was Zhang Jing, who was selling breakfast in Rongcheng that day. Jing Gao also chatted with her son for a few words.
