Chapter 1357 Both sisters have learned to lie (4200 words) Ask for a monthly pass
Thinking of this, he was no longer so resistant to Shen Nanpeng's investment in Xiaoai Technology, and even felt that even the 5 times premium could be renegotiated.
Xia Zekai feels that he has always been very practical. For example, Shen Nanpeng's previous investment in Xiaoai Technology did not have many obvious benefits. He did not object to it, but he was not as easy to talk to as he is now.
But considering that he might have to compete with 'Xiaomi Classmate' next, Xia Zekai felt that it was necessary to bring Shen Nanpeng over at this time, otherwise Lao Shen would not see any hope of investing in 'Xiaoai Technology'
, if he took the money and threw it into the arms of 'Classmate Xiaomi', it would be nonsense.
This was a serious act of endorsing the enemy. Xia Zekai felt that such a smart person would definitely not do such a stupid thing.
After the celebration banquet at noon, Xia Zekai saw that there was no one around Shen Nanpeng and said to him alone: "Old Shen, let's take some time to chat."
"Okay!" Shen Nanpeng looked at Xia Zekai in surprise, wondering why Boss Xia changed so quickly.
But this is a good thing, why doesn't he agree?
After that, he reached out and made a phone call gesture: "Boss Xia, I'll wait for your call at any time."
"Boss Xia, you should also consider the Yi Chuang shares. I will definitely give you a good price." Zhou Hongyi saw Xia Zekai and Shen Nanpeng whispering, and he came over again.
Xia Zekai raised his hand to his forehead, feeling a little headache. Why was Zhou Hongyi walking so silently, he looked a bit like a ghost.
"Absolutely, Mr. Zhou, didn't I promise you? When the D-round financing valuation of Yixing comes out, we will discuss it separately." Xia Zekai told him.
But he went on to say: "The ugly words are ahead. You can continue to participate in the financing round of Yichuang, but I can only give you 2% of the shares at most. The specific amount depends on the situation."
"Is it too little? Boss Xia will think about it again. Money is not an issue. We can settle the bill in cash." Zhou Hongyi said as if they were rich.
But Xia Zekai's attitude was very firm. He shook his head: "Mr. Zhou, there is only so much, otherwise it will be very difficult for me to do it."
Zhou Hongyi thought, I’m afraid you’ve made a lot of money!
After Zhang Yiming saw off the others, he brought Zhang Lidong over to find Xia Zekai.
When he learned that his elder sister-in-law Luo Xiyun was going back to Qicheng with her children early tomorrow morning, he repeatedly asked her to stay for two more days. He also said that he had just finished his work and he would personally accompany Brother Xia and his elder sister-in-law around.
But Luo Xiyun really missed Yatou and Tongtong, and was always worried about leaving the two sisters at home alone. If it wasn't already late at this hour, she would have rushed back this afternoon. If she took the high-speed rail, there would be no traffic on the way.
If there is a delay, we can arrive at Qicheng before eleven o'clock.
"Sister-in-law, if that's the case, then I'll call Lao Liang and get together in the evening. We won't see you off until tomorrow." Zhang Yiming said.
Luo Xiyun actually didn't want them to cause such trouble, but Zhang Yiming was quite calm at the critical moment and ran off to call Liang Rubo while minding his own business.
Yixing is about to raise its D round of financing on March 2nd. Liang Rubo has a lot of chores to do there, but when he heard his old brother say that his sister-in-law is leaving early tomorrow morning, he won't be busy with work anymore, so he hurry up and give it to his fiancée Xie Xindi
After calling, the couple rushed over together.
In addition, Xia Zekai called Zhang Xu, and when Zhang Xu came over, he also brought his fiancée Tang Lin.
To be precise, there were really no outsiders this night. They were chatting and laughing, and there was nothing particularly taboo about. They felt very relaxed.
For them, it is rare to have such an opportunity.
…
Early the next morning, Xia Zekai personally sent his wife, Qingyu and his three siblings to the Beijing High-speed Railway Station.
On the way there, Xia Zekai also said, "Daughter-in-law, when I buy the courtyard house, we can live here for a period of time every year."
"You are thinking strangely. What will happen when Yatou and Tongtong go to school?" Luo Xiyun looked down at Qingyu, Chenchen and Jingling and said, "In another year, the three of them will also go to kindergarten. Is it difficult?
If not, I’m still running back and forth to play!”
"If it doesn't work, you can live here permanently and let them go to school here." Xia Zekai said.
Luo Xiyun stared at him without blinking and asked him: "What about you?"
"I'll just run in both directions. It doesn't matter to me anyway," Xia Zekai said.
Luo Xiyun waved his hand directly: "What's the matter? It's not tiring enough, so you can pull it down!"
Unknowingly, the car arrived at the parking lot of the Beijing High-Speed Railway Station. The doors were opened, but Luo Xiyun hadn't gotten out yet.
Xia Zekai held Jing Ling, who was the heaviest, in his arms and got out of the car. He looked at his wife and said, "Let's go, time will pass in a while."
"Zekai, you are here alone, so you must pay attention to your health and get more rest!" Luo Xiyun told him.
Xia Zekai's smiling eyes narrowed into slits, and he said: "It's okay, don't worry, I know it well!"
"Dad, mom said you can't drink, drinking will cause trouble!" Jing Ling said with her chubby little face raised.
He did a pretty good job of imitating parrots.
Xia Zekai patted his little head: "Okay, dad promised you, that's it!"
"Hey!" The little guy smiled very proudly.
He turned to look at his mother with a little pride: "Mom, look, dad agreed."
"Hey, Jing Ling, you are awesome!" Luo Xiyun took the youngest from her husband's arms and kissed him twice hard on his smiling face, but there was inevitably some sadness in her eyes.
He had been watching his wife get into the car with their children, and Geng Yuqin, Liu Changzheng and the two nannies also got in the car. Xia Zekai finally suppressed his desire to follow him back to Qicheng and took the car back to the Honolulu villa area.
The day after tomorrow is the weekend, which is also a good day to go out for D-round financing. After everything is over, there will be a groundbreaking ceremony for the new factory of Xiaoai Technology. There is really no need for him to run back and forth.
…
Shen Nanpeng has not returned to Magic City yet.
Today's headlines are finished, but there is still work to be done on Yi Travel.
Sequoia China has also invested in Yitrip, and he does not plan to invest heavily in this D round of financing.
Shen Nanpeng feels that no matter from the perspective of the scale of Yitrip or its financial volume, its future development prospects are limited, and the room for imagination is no longer very large.
The next step is to see if they can find a suitable opportunity to put Yixing on the market. At that time, they can find a reasonable price to realize the cash.
But this year, the domestic market and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange are not doing very well.
Alibaba had just successfully listed in the United States last year and had a good start. Shen Nanpeng felt that listing in the United States was also a good choice.
But he also has a worry. Will the country allow a company like Yi Chuxing to be listed abroad?
After thinking about it for a while, Shen Nanpeng didn't have any results. He simply didn't think about it anymore. He shook his head and said, "Forget it. Why do you want to think about that? Let's take one step at a time and invest in Xiaoai Technology."
After having an idea in mind, Shen Nanpeng looked at the time and saw that it was almost 10 o'clock. He thought that Boss Xia should get up at this time and call him to discuss.
After having an idea, Boss Shen took out his cell phone and dialed Xia Zekai's number.
After waiting for the call to be connected, Shen Nanpeng asked directly: "Boss Xia, do you have time today?"
"Old Chen, I didn't expect you to be quite anxious." Xia Zekai said with a smile.
Then he said: "Sure, come to my house. You know the villa area in Honolulu."
"I know that place. There was a friend who lived there before. I'll go there right away." Shen Nanpeng simply asked someone to drive over.
At this time, Xia Zekai has not returned to the Honolulu villa area, but it is not very far away.
…
Qicheng, Ziyu Garden Villa District, sisters Yatou and Tongtong did not go to school today. They found a reason to ask for leave from the teacher and planned to spend the day playing at home.
This way we can still connect to Saturday and the weekend tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Mom and dad were not at home, and grandma couldn't control them at all. The two sisters had a lot of fun.
"Tongtong, when do you think mom will come back? Will she see us playing at home and get very angry?" the girl asked worriedly.
Tongtong shook his head: "Sister, you are just talking nonsense. Mom just left the day before yesterday. She took all her brothers and sisters away. In the past, she stayed for at least a week and came back after two or three days? I don't believe it!"
What she said was quite logical and her analysis was well-founded. The girl believed it after thinking about it for a while.
Zhou Yinghong came from the kitchen with a plate of fruit. Seeing the two sisters still having fun, she called to them: "Girl, Tongtong, you two come over quickly and eat some fruit."
"Grandma, I don't want to eat. I want to play for a while." Tongtong usually likes to eat, but not today.
She feels that eating more food is a waste of her precious time.
The girl was tired of playing, so she approached her grandma and asked cautiously: "Grandma, did my mother call you? Did she say when she would be back?"
"No!" Zhou Yinghong thought for a moment and said, "As for your father calling the night before yesterday to ask about you two, I said you two are studying very seriously."
"Yes, grandma is the best, grandma, I love you!" The girl pouted her little mouth and wanted to kiss grandma.
Tongtong also followed suit. She also said: "Grandma, if my mother comes back, you must tell me and my sister in advance."
"Okay!" Zhou Yinghong agreed happily.
But then he came to his senses and asked them with a smile: "Girl, Tongtong, why do I think you two are a little afraid of your mother coming back? Have you finished your homework?"
"Grandma, we have no homework today," the girl said.
Indeed, not before the teacher had time to assign homework for Saturday and weekend, the two sisters asked for leave on Friday.
Tongtong thought she had avoided the homework on Saturday and Sunday, and she was quite smug.
Zhou Yinghong didn't believe it. She thought it was impossible. She always had homework, so how could she not have homework during the holidays?
She asked: "You two really don't have any homework? How about I call your teacher and ask? How can you not have any homework during the holiday?"
When the two sisters heard that grandma was going to call the teacher to ask about the 'holiday homework', they were frightened and their eyes widened subconsciously.
Thinking about this phone call from grandma, wouldn't the 'lies' they told grandma be exposed immediately? That wouldn't work.
"Grandma, I remembered. We have homework, but can we do it again at night? Let's play for a while." Tongtong is quite clever, and this kind of crooked reaction is one step faster than her sister.
She thought that when school was over in the afternoon, she could ask other students in the group what homework the teacher had assigned.
Then both of them can just write it again!
When the girl heard what her sister said, her panicked heart calmed down, thinking that she was really led astray by her sister and actually learned to 'lie'.
But she still had to say: "Grandma, yes, yes, just let us play for a while. Tongtong and I will do our homework in the evening, okay!"
"Did you really write it?" Zhou Yinghong was still worried and asked them two more questions.
Seeing the two sisters nodding, Zhou Yinghong nodded: "Okay, after dinner tonight, you have to do your homework. Otherwise, when your mother comes back, I will tell your mother that you two only know how to play and don't show up on time."
It’s time to do my homework.”
"It has to be written, and after it is finished, the parents have to sign it. Mom and Dad are not at home, so grandma can help us sign it then!" Tongtong said.
Zhou Yinghong didn't know these procedures, but when her granddaughter said this, she believed it for the time being. She also thought that she would supervise the sisters to finish their homework at night.
Before the daughter-in-law left, she warned them both to finish their homework on time.
If the daughter-in-law comes back and sees that neither of them has done their homework, it will be difficult for her as a grandmother to explain.
Before I knew it, the whole morning had passed.
Seeing that it was lunch time, Zhou Yinghong went to cook.
After finishing the meal, she called Yatou and Tongtong to come back for dinner.
After playing all morning, the two sisters were really hungry now. When they heard grandma calling them to eat, they ran over immediately.
After lunch, they both watched cartoons for a while and then started to feel sleepy.
After telling grandma, their desire to have fun could not overcome the sleepiness, so they both just nodded.
Zhou Yinghong also said: "If you two are sleepy, go upstairs to sleep. I will call you during dinner in the evening."
"Okay, grandma, let's go to bed." The two sisters said goodbye to grandma and went upstairs.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Cui Xiaofeng received the call. He responded with "uh huh" several times. After hanging up the phone, he went to report the situation to Zhou Yinghong: "Aunt Zhou, just now Geng Yuqin called and said Luo
When the boss comes back, let me drive to the train station to pick him up."
"Ah, Xiyun is back. Isn't she very busy? Why did she come back so soon without calling in advance?" Zhou Yinghong was a little surprised.
But he still urged Cui Xiaofeng: "Xiao Cui, go quickly. Which car should you drive?"
"Spinter, Geng Yuqin just said that the children are asleep." Cui Xiaofeng said.
As soon as Zhou Yinghong heard that her granddaughter and grandson were asleep, she didn't want him to delay anymore and said, "Then don't delay, and go quickly."
"By the way, drive slower on the road." Zhou Yinghong warned again.
After Cui Xiaofeng heard this, he nodded quickly: "Aunt Zhou, don't worry, I will drive very steadily."
"By the way, are Yatou and Tongtong going to go..." After murmuring for a while, Zhou Yinghong remembered that the two granddaughters were fast asleep at the moment, and she was thinking not to tell them, because her daughter-in-law would be here later.
