Chapter 314 The clues and the game of forced intelligence (6000-character chapter)
"Zekai, who is calling so early in the morning? Are you bothered? It's only what time and no one is allowed to sleep." Luo Xiyun's voice came from the bedroom.
When Xia Zekai got up just now, he still woke her up randomly.
Xia Zekai lowered his voice and whispered: "The young man wearing glasses we met last time when we went to the capital. He has no money. He just called me and asked me if I wanted to invest."
Hearing that it was related to money, Luo Xiyun stopped sleeping and tucked the blankets for Yatou and Tongtong. She quickly got up and got dressed, came to the living room, sat next to Xia Zekai, and asked him: "When we went to the capital? Which one?"
ah?"
"Zhang Yiming, wearing glasses, is thin and looks about 26 or 27 years old. Do you still have an impression?" Xia Zekai described it again.
But it's a pity that Luo Xiyun can no longer remember clearly.
Having said that, she didn't care what the other person looked like. Her focus was on investment, so she asked him: "Zekai, what does this guy named Zhang do? Why would he ask you to borrow money? How much does he want to borrow?"
Xia Zekai shook his head, shrugged and said: "It's not about borrowing money, it's about asking me to invest. I don't know how much to borrow. He should be here in two days. Let's talk about it then."
"Then do you still have money? Our house will be renovated this month." Luo Xiyun reminded him.
Xia Zekai nodded: "I know, the decoration budget for the house is tentatively set at 300,000 yuan. In this case, I still have 70,000 to 800,000 yuan on hand, which is almost that much money."
Luo Xiyun understood the underlying meaning of his words and asked him: "Zekai, do you want to invest all of it in him?"
"How could it be possible? Let's see what the situation is." Xia Zekai was undecided for the time being.
Venture capital is not just a matter of words.
However, Xia Zekai didn't know much about Jiujiu Fang, and there was no clear record of this project in his memory fragments, which also meant that Jiujiu Fang's subsequent development had not yet reached the level of fame.
It didn't matter. He remembered that he had seen an article somewhere. It was said that Zhang Yiming had done a real estate-related project before starting the Toutiao project, and his important strategic partner Haina
Asia has also invested in this project.
Could it be that this is the project?
He still remembered that after Toutiao changed its name and became popular, there was a special article introducing the details of Byte Toutiao's major shareholders. Among them, the investment institution with the largest investment was Haina Asia.
Xia Zekai doesn't know much about the investment world, but that doesn't stop him from using his computer to find out who Haina Asia is.
It can invest in Zhang Yiming's two projects at the same time, which also shows that both projects have merits, right?
Thinking of this, Xia Zekai couldn't sit still. He went directly to the second bedroom and turned on the computer. Along with the "buzzing" sound of the main chassis fan, the screen lit up.
Xia Zekai opened the Baidu browser by sliding the mouse with his hand. Following the clues he recalled, he entered the words "Haina Asia" in the search box that opened.
There are more than a dozen pieces of information related to Haina Asia listed below. They are basically simple information about its investment in a certain company. In just a few sentences, they say which round of investment was made and how much money was invested.
Most of the key information is hidden.
There is also a link specifically introducing 'Haina Asia', which is Haina International Investment Fund and a venture capital fund founded in China in 2006. Its helm is Wang Qiong, who is currently the managing director of Haina Asia Venture Capital Fund.
He is also a partner of Haina Asia Venture Capital Fund, and has led investments including Ogilvy Medical, Ctrip, Imaging International, China United, Home Inn, Little Swan, Giant Education Group, etc.
There were many investment records below, but Xia Zekai stopped reading. He thought to himself that the investment record of Haina Asia was not bad.
Many of the companies it invests in are very famous at a certain time.
Because of this, Xia Zekai took Zhang Yiming’s ‘Nine-nine Rooms’ project seriously.
He searched for "Jiujiu Fang" on the Internet again, but maybe because of the relationship between "Jiujiu Fang" which just started last month, there is very little information about it on the Internet.
One of them states that in early September 2009, Zhang Yiming, a rising Internet star who was once a partner of Fanfou.com, founded Jiujiufang, a client product for vertical search of real estate information...
"Zekai, what are you looking for? I called you just now, but you didn't answer." Luo Xiyun came over wearing slippers.
Then a faint scent of mint floated over with the flow of air. Xia Zekai leaned back in his chair. He pointed at the computer screen and said, "I just checked some information."
"Is it possible that it has something to do with the company you want to invest in?" Luo Xiyun asked him.
Xia Zekai nodded: "It has something to do with it."
Luo Xiyun didn't like to hear this. She scolded Xia Zekai: "What does it mean to have some relationship? If it exists, it means it exists. If it doesn't, it means it doesn't exist. You still can't understand such a big investment?"
"What do you think? I want to invest in the future of a company. There are many uncertainties. Do you think this is easy to handle?" Xia Zekai didn't want to discuss this with his wife.
Luo Xiyun felt uncomfortable when he looked at her, so she went up and slapped him on the back, saying, "What do you mean, do you look down on me? I'm looking for a beating."
"-_-||" Xia Zekai was speechless. This can make you think of something together. This is considered a skill.
He immediately put his backhand around Luo Xiyun's waist, pulled her over and put her on his lap to sit. His other hand also wrapped around her arm to prevent her from moving her hands or feet.
Smelling the fragrance of his wife, but without any other desires, he said: "The company I plan to invest in just started last month, and there are a lot of uncertainties, but Zhang Yiming is a very good person. He
I also worked at Microsoft and led several very successful Internet projects."
"Zhang Yiming? I remember, the last time you asked me about Fanfou.net, was it him and that guy named Wang who caused it?" Luo Xiyun remembered something and asked him.
Xia Zekai nodded: "Yes, he and Wang Xing built Fanfou.com, but the content discussed on Fanfou.com has no boundaries and violates the rules of the game."
Luo Xiyun frowned and said, "By the way, you told me last time that Wang Xing had done something else, and it was quite famous."
"Renren, I don't believe you never stole food when you were in college?" Xia Zekai looked unbelieving.
"Oh, I must have played it before. I calculated the time at that time, stayed at the computer to collect food at night, and even stole other people's..." Luo Xiyun thought of those things, and he felt a different kind of beautiful memory in his heart.
As she spoke, she leaned on Xia Zekai's chest, feeling quite comfortable.
"Money addict!" Xia Zekai summed it up in two words.
But Luo Xiyun was not angry this time. She said: "You are a money-crazed person. What I mean is to collect your own property. You know nothing."
"Okay, it's almost nine o'clock, and we haven't had breakfast yet. I'm going to buy some." Xia Zekai pointed at the time in the lower right corner of the computer and said.
Luo Xiyun took a look and saw that it was really almost nine o'clock. She thought about it and didn't think of anything to eat, so she said: "Forget it, I'll see if there is anything else to eat at home. I'll make a living first to fill my stomach and wait until noon."
Let’s eat together.”
Xia Zekai touched his stomach. He was already hungry. He said, "I'd better go out and buy some. I'll be back soon."
"Okay, I'll go sleep for a while." After Luo Xiyun said that, he broke away from Xia Zekai's arms, stood up, and went to the master bedroom to go back to sleep.
On weekends, sleeping at home is beautiful, but not sleeping is truly a waste.
When Xia Zekai went out, he opened the door of the master bedroom and took a look. Neither Yatou nor Tongtong showed any signs of waking up. He thought that they were really tired from playing yesterday.
It was wrong to go out to buy breakfast at this time. When Xia Zekai went out, all the vendors selling breakfast on the roadside had left.
I ordered two steamed buns filled with cabbage and meat, went to the wonton restaurant next door and bought two bowls of fresh meat wontons, and also made two bowls of tofu curd without chili, and then went home.
Before I even entered the door, I heard the two girls chattering in the bedroom.
When I opened the bedroom door, I saw the two girls lying on top of their mother making trouble. They woke up and refused to let their mother rest.
"Mom, I'm so hungry!" The little chubby girl Tongtong said pitifully, covering her stomach.
Luo Xiyun heard the sound of the door opening. She looked at Xia Zekai who was looking in at the door and said, "Why don't you get up quickly? Your father has already bought breakfast."
When Tongtong heard what her mother said, she quickly looked towards the door. Xia Zekai also lifted up the plastic bag containing various breakfasts and showed it to her.
Tongtong couldn't lie down anymore. She quickly got up: "Mom, hurry up and get me dressed. I want to eat something delicious."
The girl stopped making trouble and shouted to Xia Zekai: "Dad, please braid my hair."
After Xia Zekai received the instruction, he quickly put the steamed buns in his hand on the coffee table, hung two wontons and two tofu buns on the door handle of the second bedroom, washed the handle, and then dressed his daughter and tied her hair in pigtails.
Although the breakfast was simple, the three girls had a great time. Xia Zekai was not in a hurry to eat. He waited for the two girls to eat half a bowl of wontons, then they ate half a bowl of tofu together, and each of them ate a big steamed meat bun.
Then he ate whatever was left by his daughter.
His wife never eats other people's leftovers, and neither does his daughter. The reason is that she doesn't eat food with other people's saliva on her and she has a certain mysophobia.
But for this reason that is not very valid, Xia Zekai despises her. You bitch is not honest in what you say. Are you eating too much of my saliva?
These words just passed through Xia Zekai's mind, and he didn't dare to say them out, otherwise he would be in trouble today.
After eating breakfast, Xia Zekai was still thinking about where to go to play today.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they asked the three mothers, the three of them started shaking the rattle in unison. Luo Xiyun said firmly: "I was exhausted yesterday. I won't go anywhere today. I will just rest at home."
That was all she said, but she never expected that Yatou and Tongtong would also nod and say, "Dad, I won't go out to play anymore, I want to watch cartoons."
Luo Xiyun was usually against the two of them watching cartoons. She was mainly afraid that watching TV for too long would affect their eyes.
But today, she didn't object directly and said: "You can watch it, but sit on the sofa and watch it, otherwise don't watch it."
"Okay, mom is great, I love mom." The girl's little mouth also became sweet.
Tongtong was more direct, jumping directly onto Luo Xiyun, hugging her neck, and insisted on kissing her mother.
Luo Xiyun saw that her daughter's mouth was oily and shiny after just eating. She really wanted to dislike it as much as she wanted and said, "Tongtong, go ahead, the oil in the mouthful smells really bad."
But Tongtong got excited. You refused to let me kiss you, but I insisted on kissing you.
Luo Xiyun was at a loss, so he took a piece of paper and wiped her daughter's mouth clean, and then put her cheek up.
Then the girl sitting next to her was not to be outdone and wanted to give her mother a kiss.
Luo Xiyun put the two of them on the sofa and sat down, turned on the TV for them, tuned to the children's channel, and let them watch by themselves, while she went to lie down on the bed in the second bedroom.
After Xia Zekai finished his work, he sat down in front of the computer again.
After a while, he logged into his QQ account, which he had not logged in for some days, thinking that he had been going smoothly these days, but he had put aside the 'sharp weapon' that really made him rich.
Xia Zekai suddenly became a little alarmed. He reflected on himself that this was not the right thing to do. He had to learn from the ‘Teacher Tony’ who updated ten thousand diaries every day.
That's called dedication, and he's really a person in this circle. He doesn't update every day, he can't even be called a business person, he's more like a 'marginal gangster in the circle'.
"I have to reflect." Xia Zekai thought to himself, but he couldn't help but say it out loud.
Luo Xiyun didn't hear clearly and asked him: "Zekai, what did you do wrong and what should you reflect on?"
"I said I've been a little lazy recently, and I have to work hard to make money to support the family and support you three." Xia Zekai said playfully.
A sweet dimple appeared at the corner of Luo Xiyun's mouth. She didn't say anything, but the expression on her face betrayed her.
"I'm going to sleep for a while. You watch them and don't let them touch the TV."
"Well, go to sleep!" Xia Zekai turned to look at her and said with a smile.
Xia Zekai was thinking about what article he would write today. Unlike Mr. Tony who pursued quantity, Xia Zekai was more interested in quality. He felt that it would be fine if he didn't write, but if he did, he still had to write well.
At the very least, an article must be a hit, and only then can the brand be truly established and play a role in attracting traffic.
If you simply pursue quantity and ignore the content of the text, no one may follow it over time.
I don't know how much time passed, but Xia Zekai suddenly heard the girl calling him: "Dad, I don't watch cartoons anymore."
"Mom, I don't watch cartoons anymore." Tongtong also shouted along at the top of his lungs.
Xia Zekai looked back. His wife's eyelids moved, but before she woke up, Xia Zekai hurried out and closed the door to the second bedroom.
Looking at the two mythical beasts crawling around on the sofa, he asked them both: "If you don't watch cartoons, what do you want to do? Go out and play?"
"I don't want to go out to play, it's boring." Tongtong pouted directly.
Good guy, you can’t do this or that, what do you want to do?
He asked: "Tongtong, tell me, what do you want to do?"
Before Tongtong could say anything, the girl said: "Dad, let's play a game."
Xia Zekai thought that playing games would be fine, so he asked, "What game do you want to play?"
While Tongtong's little hand was still touching her lips, the girl quickly said: "Let's play hide and seek. I'll hide it first, and daddy will find it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tongtong, who didn't know what to play, nodded hurriedly: "It's good to play hide and seek. I want to play too, and I want to hide too."
The corner of Xia Zekai's mouth twitched. His daughter liked to play this game, but for him, it was a game that forced his brains to fall. He really didn't want to play it, but he had to agree.
"Okay, okay, I'm looking for you, you should hide quickly." Xia Zekai said.
Sisters Yatou and Tongtong looked at each other, with proud smiles on their faces.
They quickly slipped off the sofa and put on their slippers. The girl looked at Xia Zekai and said, "Dad, turn your face away, we are going to hide."
Xia Zekai was very cooperative and said, "I'll go to the kitchen and wait for you to hide, okay."
"Okay." The two sisters shouted together.
Xia Zekai actually went to the kitchen. He recited the numbers silently in the kitchen. After counting forty-three, he asked, "Are you all hidden?"
"Hide it, daddy, come find us!" Tongtong's voice came from the living room.
After Xia Zekai heard this, he was speechless. Is this called hiding?
Before Xia Zekai opened the bedroom door, the girl's voice came again: "Dad, I've hidden it too, hehe, you can't find me."
"..." Xia Zekai complained in his mind, damn, who invented such a childish game.
Xia Zekai opened the kitchen door with his eyes closed. His eyes were slightly exposed and he glanced into the living room. His eyes were blurry and he could not see clearly. This was the effect he wanted.
But when I turned my head to the shoe cabinet next to the TV, why was there a round thing in the corner between the shoe cabinet and the TV cabinet?
Still moving?
Xia Zekai closed one eye and opened the other. He took a glance and saw the little chubby girl Tongtong squatting in the corner with her head facing inward and her butt sticking out. She seemed to be afraid that her father would find him, so she drooped her head.
It got even worse, and my butt was still twisting back and forth, wanting to rub it forward again, a typical ostrich mentality.
"Is this hidden?"
Xia Zekai closed his eyes again, took the initiative to pass by this moving little figure, and said against his will: "Oh, where are you hiding? Why can't I find you two?"
"whee!"
Tongtong's proud voice came, as if she had realized something, and she quickly covered her mouth with her fleshy little hands. This time her movements were a bit louder, but Xia Zekai just opened his eyes at the moment.
Blind and deaf, he neither sees nor hears.
"Why can't I find it? Did you go to the bedroom? Let me go to the bedroom to have a look." Xia Zekai missed Tongtong's hiding place in a few steps. He reached the door of the master bedroom in two steps and opened the door before he could find it.
Now, I saw a figure lying on the two-meter-four big bed in their bedroom. I saw half of her body lying on the bed, her upper body and head were covered by a blanket, and her lower body was exposed.
The girl was a little better than Tongtong. She didn't move or make any sound.
After Xia Zekai entered the door, he started to act blind again. He pulled the back of the door, the wardrobe, and the curtains. He also lifted up a corner of the blanket covering his daughter and looked at it. He muttered: "Oh,
Where is this clever little ghost hiding? How can I not find it?"
He was thinking in his mind, after all, I am a serious full-time college graduate with a million dollars in savings, but I am actually forcing myself to be subdued and play such a childish game with my daughter. How can I still
What can be said?
Xia Zekai left the bedroom again, and as he walked, he said: "There is nothing in the living room, and there is nothing in the bedroom. Did you hide it in the kitchen while I was away? I have to go and see..."
"Oh, dad is so stupid. I'm hiding here. You can't find me." Tongtong couldn't help it this time. She took the initiative to come out of the hiding place and stood in front of her dad.
There was a lot of pride on his face.
There was pride and contempt in his little eyes, and at the end he gave Xia Zekai a roll of his eyes, "Why are you so stupid and can't find me?"
Xia Zekai was despised, and he felt very sad. This was so hurtful.
Then the girl consciously opened the blanket that covered her upper body and came out of the bedroom. She said in her little mouth: "Dad is really stupid. I have been hiding for a long time. I am even thirsty."
"
When Xia Zekai heard his daughter say she was thirsty, he quickly changed the subject and said, "Girl, drink water first."
Then he held them both in his hands and said, "Girl, Tongtong, you two are so well hidden that dad can't find you. You two are so powerful. Otherwise, let's not play hide and seek and change the game."
He's had enough of this game.
But sisters Yatou and Tongtong are addicted to playing.
Their father didn't find them just now, so they felt a sense of accomplishment.
When their father said that he no longer wanted to play this game, the two little sisters disagreed. Tongtong said, "Dad, no, I still want to play."
"I also want to play hide and seek, and I won't play other games."
"..." Xia Zekai felt particularly tired at this moment.
What else can he say? The key point is that this time it was the girl who was looking for him. He and Tongtong hid. The girl was running around the house. She was also very good. She looked here and there, and soon she was there.
I found my father and sister, and then the girl's cheerful voice sounded in the room, waking up Luo Xiyun who was sleeping.
"What are you doing? Are you making such a mess? You don't want me to sleep." Luo Xiyun said.
The girl immediately showed an aggrieved face and said, "Mom, my father, my sister, I are playing hide and seek, you can play too."
When Luo Xiyun heard her daughter's request, she suddenly regretted that she shouldn't have come out of the bedroom and why she was playing such a childish game again.
