When I was about to get off work, Bao Bufan suddenly called me.
He has been paying close attention to Lu's Meituan recently, and he soon found out about Ma Yun's visit.
It was just that I was attending a very important meeting at that time and couldn't get out.
This will take some time, but in the end, they have already left.
Originally, he wanted to hold a banquet to entertain him.
But then I thought about it, a big boss like Ma Yun would attach so much importance to the e-commerce model of "group buying", it seems that this industry has a lot of potential!
He was in Jinling and was an old acquaintance of Lu Yan. Even if he couldn't personally operate the business, there was still a chance to participate in the financing.
Thinking of this, I decided to ask Lu Yan to come out for a reunion.
Thinking that we hadn't seen each other for a long time, I called Zhou Xiaoqing, Chen Yishan, Wang Jingchuan and others.
Lu Yan also brought Ruan Xiaoxiao with him.
First we drove to "Chinese Tan's Cuisine", a somewhat luxurious "official cuisine" restaurant.
The hall is in Chinese classical style, with a dragon robe hanging in the glass display case, and the tableware is also full of the same style as Lafayette. You can see Xuanwu Lake from the window. Looking out from the window, you feel a bit like you are in the palace.
When Lu Yan and Ruan Xiaoxiao entered, the only ones here were Bao Bufan, his girlfriend Liang Xiaohui, and Wang Jingchuan and his girlfriend Cai Weiwei.
Zhou Xiaoqing's company is busy, so she will arrive a little later.
Chen Yishan caught a bad cold a few days ago. She has been taking medicine for the past two days, but she can't get over it.
Seeing Lu Yan enter the door, Bao Bufan directly explained the situation and said: "Xiao Qing said that the time is uncertain, and asked us to eat first, so let's order first!"
No one had any objections, and since they had never tasted the dishes here, they asked Bao Bufan to order.
Bao Bufan ordered more than ten dishes such as Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, Wing Noodle Soup, Celebrity Swallow's Wing Cup, Tan's Braised Shark's Fin, Supreme Beef Rib Steak, etc., before telling everyone: "His food tastes good, I often come here to eat!"
Lu Yan smiled: "What Brother Fan recommends must be top quality!"
Wang Jingchuan smiled and said: "That's right, he is a person who pays attention to food, clothing and enjoyment!"
Bao Bufan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "People have to work hard but also enjoy life. Otherwise, why would you make so much money? Right, Lu Yan?"
"That's true!"
After joking for a while, Bao Bufan added: "I heard rumors from people in the circle this afternoon that Ma Yun came to Jinling. She didn't go to meet the government bosses, nor the rich people in our Jiangsu province. Instead, she went to a small shop.
In the company, I met a small boss. You are really famous now!"
Lu Yan chuckled, "I will become famous sooner or later! But I didn't expect Boss Ma to come!"
Bao Bufan asked: "Why, I am very optimistic about your company and want to acquire it?"
Lu Yan smiled and said: "I think the main reason is that I am curious and want to take a look! After all, I am developing well now, how can I sell the company at this time!"
Bao Bufan nodded, "That's right. It will only be cost-effective to roll it out in a few more cities, go through several rounds of financing, and increase the valuation before selling!"
Wang Jingchuan's eyes grew hot when he heard this, because Lu Yan's business sounded like it was going to go public.
Although he has now opened a small company, the profit he can make is quite limited, and he has to constantly run business to get orders.
Thinking of this, he suddenly said: "Lu Yan, is your company still short of people?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, especially Wang Jingchuan's girlfriend Cai Weiwei, who was really surprised.
Although I know that my boyfriend’s abilities are limited, he is still a small boss driving a BMW 3 Series. Listening to what he just said, why do you still want to work for someone else!
Even if you work for someone as a younger brother, you are still just like Bao Bufan!
What's going on between you and Lu Yan, who's in his twenties and hasn't graduated yet?
Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and pinched Wang Jingchuan's waist gently. Although the latter felt pain, he started to smile.
In fact, Wang Jingchuan had been paying attention to Lu Yan since he heard that he started his business. However, he did not dare to say how far this project would go.
But just now I heard Bao Bufan say that Ma Yun had visited Lu Yan's small company, and this idea suddenly came to life.
Ma Yun can go, which shows that Lu Yan's business model must have merit.
If you get involved at this time and start a business with Lu Yan, you will be considered an entrepreneurial veteran.
Even if you can't get a lot of shares, when the whole industry rises one day, whether you stand on your own or join someone else, you still have some capital.
It would be better than now, working hard every year, suffering a lot of anger, and not making much money!
The most important thing is that there is no hope of becoming bigger!
…
Lu Yan's question to Wang Jingchuan was not very surprising.
This person can be considered an entrepreneur on the road to success. He always associates with second-generation rich people like Bao Bufan and Zhou Xiaoqing. His profit in one year is not enough for him to replace his car.
But it's not a sign of inferiority, it's obvious that he has a big goal.
However, his company is in the stage of rapid development. It cannot be said that it is short of people. It is quite, super, so special!
If possible, he really wanted to replicate what he had done in Jinling immediately in major cities across the country.
In this way, even if there are latecomers, it will not be easy to compete!
However, we don’t have that much money and manpower!
Immediately he said: "There are not enough manpower. Why, Brother Jingchuan wants to come over and help me?"
Wang Jingchuan smiled and said: "I think your company is quite promising, and I want to join in the fight!"
Cai Weiwei suddenly put the cup on the table, making a loud sound.
Seeing everyone looking over, he wiped his mouth with a wet wipe and said, "Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom!"
Wang Jingchuan was afraid that she might cause trouble later, so he stood up and said, "You guys eat slowly, I'll go there too!"
Bao Bufan smiled: "Don't just leave and never come back!" Then he said to Lu Yan: "Eat food, eat food!" Then he asked about his next plan.
…
Over there, Cai Weiwei and Wang Jingchuan did not go to the bathroom at all, but left the restaurant.
The former said angrily: "Wang Jingchuan, what did you mean just now?"
The latter said: "I just want to give it a try!"
"Have you forgotten what I said when I met my parents two days ago? We are getting married this year! The house has not been installed yet. Don't tell me that you plan to close the company and start a business with that kid. Or...
… Something happened to your company?”
Wang Jingchuan explained: "Nothing happened to the company, except for the profit, which did not increase much. I feel that even if I work for another ten years, I will only be a small boss, and I don't want to continue like this!"
"But have you ever thought about what to do if he fails? You are also self-employed, and you know how low the success rate of this kind of thing is. If you close the company, you will lose all your customers. Wait a few months.
If you want to continue, you have to start from scratch!"
When Wang Jingchuan heard this, he hesitated a little and thought about whether he was a little dizzy from drinking just now.
After thinking for a while, he said, "How about you help me keep an eye on the company first?"
Cai Weiwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm just a clerk, how can I understand your company's business!"
