Chapter 319 The poorest boss (4000 word chapter) still owes 17 chapters
You will also be a big boss from now on.
Who can look at the present these days? One person says it another, isn’t everyone who looks at the present blind?
When they arrived at Xia Zekai's office, Xia Zekai made tea and asked the two of them to drink two cups first to moisten their throats. He inadvertently glanced at the clock on the wall and realized that it was past eleven o'clock.
No matter what happens, just take care of the food first!
When Xia Zekai said that he went to have dinner with them, Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo were a little embarrassed. No matter how you look at it, it makes people think that they came here deliberately to take advantage of this time to have a meal.
"Boss Xia, no need. The main reason we came here today is to talk about your investment..."
"Don't worry about investing. When you come to my place, don't worry about anything else. Just have a full meal first."
"You guys have eaten enough. When I go to the capital next time, I can be strong enough to have a meal with you." Xia Zekai said with his mouth full.
Went to Century Hotel for a meal at noon.
Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo were determined not to drink. They had already inquired before they came. The people in Jidong are warm and hospitable, but if you start drinking, they will be even more hospitable and let you go in standing up and come out lying down.
.
The two of them had also discussed in private that no matter how much they were persuaded, they would not drink alcohol today.
As long as you don't drink, people will only assume that you really don't drink, and it's hard to say anything else.
Xia Zekai didn't know what they were thinking. Before he even started drinking, he was frightened by the enthusiastic name of Jidong Province like a frightened bird.
But they didn't drink, so Xia Zekai stopped trying. He didn't drink either.
On the contrary, Lu Hao and Li Mumu, who were specially invited to accompany them for drinks at noon, were somewhat useless heroes. Xia Zekai was somewhat regretful.
While eating, Xia Zekai also said: "Mr. Zhang, it's a coincidence that you're here. I just had dinner with Mr. Jiang Honggang from Acme Intelligent Factory Design Institute yesterday."
"You are all from the same place. If I had known you were coming today, I would have asked him to wait one more day. Then you can go back together and have someone to talk to on the way."
He almost didn't have the nerve to ask for a ride, it would be too hurtful.
Zhang Yiming was a little impressed when he heard the name ACMI Intelligent Factory Design Institute, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had heard of it.
Liang Rubo said in his ear: "It should be a company in Beijing that specializes in dust-free workshops."
Despite his reminder, Zhang Yiming still didn't remember which company Acme was, but that didn't stop him from starting from this topic and asked: "Boss Xia wants to build a dust-free workshop?"
Xia Zekai nodded: "Well, we just reached an agreement with Mr. Hong yesterday. I spent 10 million yuan on the land I just bought in August. Acme will be responsible for the construction. The overall cost is about 20 million yuan!"
When Boss Xia opened his mouth, he received 10 million yuan for the land purchase, and when he shut up, he received 20 million yuan for the factory construction project. He directly frightened Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo, and looked at Xia Zekai, who was only a few years older than them.
I also remembered that I had just taken a taxi to the Jingtong Food Factory and looked at the dilapidated workshop. I really couldn’t figure out how he could come up with so much money.
What did people do?
What did the two of them do?
This gap is too big.
During the meal, Zhang Yiming wanted to discuss investing in 'Jiujiufang' with Xia Zekai several times, but Xia Zekai either changed the subject directly, or ignored him and did not reply directly, which made Zhang Yiming a little frustrated.
Already.
After the meal, Lu Huan went directly to settle the bill, issued an invoice, and prepared to give it to Sun Guoqiang for tax deduction after returning to the factory.
On the way back, he acted as the driver, and all five of them returned to the factory in Xia Zekai's GL8.
Lu Chen and Li Mumu left directly after arriving at the factory. Xia Zekai took Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo to his office to continue the interview.
At this time, Xia Zekai was able to have a serious conversation.
"Mr. Zhang, why don't you introduce the situation of Jiujiu Fang first." Xia Zekai made another pot of tea for the two of them and talked while drinking.
He is not in a hurry, and is prepared to stop quietly and take the initiative in his own hands, so that he can get the best results during negotiations.
Lao Zhang is the future Internet tycoon, but now he is here to ask for his investment!
Who can tell clearly what will happen in the next ten years?
Besides, he doesn't intend to become the best in the world.
Zhang Yiming thought for a while and said: "Jiujiufang, based on the inspiration I got from Kuxun, mainly uses vertical search technology for real estate. It also captures real estate-related information, summarizes and organizes it, and can provide Internet users with
Provide better in-depth search for rentals, second-hand houses, new houses, real estate information, and home buying experience. Among them, Lao Liang and I have also personally developed the aggregate query function, mainly to help real estate consumers and practitioners make better transactions.
choose……"
"To be precise, we are a service-oriented platform, and we are willing to serve Chinese people all over the country and even around the world..."
Lao Zhang's awesomeness was so exaggerated that he almost didn't blow it up.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Liang Rubo's throat felt uncomfortable, and he coughed several times, interrupting Zhang Yiming's passionate speech.
At this time, Lao Zhang also realized that he was cheating. He stopped the topic at the right time and changed his tone to a tactful tone, saying: "Of course, this is the development vision set when our company was founded."
"In the near future, we are still developing products, enriching the platform structure, and reserving relevant talents for the next step of rapid expansion of scale."
"Recruiting people, is that what you mean? Do you have any difficulties in achieving this goal now?" Xia Zekai asked them directly.
Zhang Yiming was quite embarrassed. He wanted to tell Xia Zekai that he must be in trouble, and the biggest difficulty at the moment was that the company had no money.
How to recruit people without money, how to retain people without money, and more importantly, how to further develop if there is no money?
Zhang Yiming was a little embarrassed. He was embarrassed to say it, but his good friend Liang Rubo didn't care about face. He said directly: "To be honest with Mr. Xia, our Jiujiufang is encountering big problems now, but the most important thing is that our development funds are a bit
Nervous, we have no way to continue renting servers for the time being..."
Liang Rubo talked a lot eloquently, and Xia Zekai understood the deeper content. All the words expressed the same meaning, no money!
"Mr. Zhang, Gong Liang, how many shares are you going to give me?" Xia Zekai asked them.
One sentence stopped Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo.
Liang Rubo was just like when he was learning to drive, he was stepping on the accelerator to have fun, and suddenly the co-pilot instructor braked to the bottom, and his voice stopped abruptly!
Faced with Xia Zekai's question, his mind raced as fast as possible, and in the end he found helplessly that he could not give an answer.
Regarding this point, Zhang Yiming has not communicated with him.
Zhang Yiming looked at Xia Zekai, trying to see a different expression on his face, but unfortunately he failed.
At this time, Xia Zekai was simply a scheming old man, he couldn't see anything.
"10 million, I want 1 million in funds and I'll give you 10%." Zhang Yiming clenched his fist and said.
The next moment, Xia Zekai's eyes were staring straight at Zhang Yiming, like a beast that chooses people to devour, which made Zhang Yiming panic.
"It's too expensive, Mr. Zhang. What gave you the illusion that making money is easy?" Xia Zekai asked him.
What can one million do these days?
In most places in Qicheng, nearly 4 houses of 100 square meters can be bought with full payment for 1 million.
The average monthly income of an ordinary factory worker is 1,500 yuan, which would take 667 months without food or drink, and 55 years to earn it.
Zhang Yiming was directly rejected by Xia Zekai. He was not angry and asked: "Boss Xia, tell me the number and we will talk about it later."
Xia Zekai's eyes narrowed slightly. He looked up at the ceiling of the office and thought for a while, then said: "Mr. Zhang, I don't know anything about Internet products, but I know that everything is based on data. So tell me,
How many downloads does Jiujiufang have now, and how many people use it? What scope has it covered?"
"What are your short-term goals, what are your medium- and long-term goals, and how long will it take you to achieve these goals?"
"Frankly speaking, as far as I know, most Internet products are not profitable now, so where is your profit point and how long is your profit expectation?"
"You are paralyzed. You don't understand the Internet. You haven't asked all the key points yet." Liang Rubo cursed angrily in his heart.
He felt that he couldn't chat anymore because Xia Zekai was too dominant.
He was completely different at this time than when he had lunch, which made him a little unable to adapt.
Zhang Yiming seemed unaffected. He said: "We plan to have more than 5 million monthly unique user visits within two years, covering more than 200 cities across the country, and real-time search of more than 5,000 real estate websites, 3,000 BBS and
With more than 1,000 brokerage company websites, we will build Jiujiufang into the 'first stop' for users looking for housing in the future."
"Well, that's very beautiful, so where have you achieved it now?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Zhang Yiming said nothing.
Liang Rubo took over: "The platform has been built and will immediately enter the test operation stage..."
"It hasn't started yet? In other words, what Mr. Zhang just said is just fantasy, right? So I may lose all my investment and gain nothing, is that right?"
Although he didn't want to admit it, what Xia Zekai said was true. Zhang Yiming thought about it again and again, but he still didn't say the answer.
Not saying it was acquiescing to a certain extent. Xia Zekai understood. He said: "10 million is too high. This product is not worth the price, at least not now. I really can't think of any reason to do it for you."
to pay for the future.”
"How much can Boss Xia pay?" Zhang Yiming asked him.
Although he came to ask for help, the young Lao Zhang was not frightened by Xia Zekai like other raw melon eggs. He still believed that his product was valuable. Xia Zekai told him that it seemed worthless, which made him
I still feel a little angry.
But Zhang Yiming is not easy-going. He can understand the reality clearly and does not tolerate his willfulness.
Xia Zekai pointed outside and said, "I haven't figured it out yet, Mr. Zhang, you guys drink tea first, I'll go to the bathroom first, and we'll talk later."
After Xia Zekai filled Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo's quilts with water, he pushed the door open and went out, leaving Zhang and Liang alone in the room.
"Yi Ming, this Boss Xia is too domineering. Who does he think he is? A layman who doesn't even understand Internet products. Does he know anything about long-term planning and future vision?" Liang Rubo was overwhelmed by Xia Zekai's momentum and said just now.
Speechless.
After seeing through the glass on the office wall that Xia Zekai had indeed gone away, he became a little angry and made some angry remarks.
But Zhang Yiming was not angry. He was very calm. After taking a sip of tea, he looked at his old brother and asked him a question: "Old Liang, do you know where I first met Boss Xia?"
Liang Rubo shook his head, Zhang Yiming had never mentioned these things to him.
The next moment, Zhang Yiming said: "Just when Sina Weibo was launched last time, when editor-in-chief Yu Shuping held a press conference, I met Boss Xia there."
"Moreover, according to what I learned later, he was personally invited by Editor-in-Chief Yu Shuping, and he also has a very good relationship with Editor-in-Chief Chen Tong and Chen of Sina. You think of such a person, if he is a layman who knows nothing,
You are wrong, very wrong."
Listening to Zhang Yiming telling these things, Liang Rubo calmed down. After Liang Rubo finished speaking, he said: "Yiming, how much do you plan to quote?"
"8 million?" Zhang Yiming frowned slightly. He felt that the product he developed would definitely be good in the future, but the problem was that there were no results to prove it.
Liang Rubo heard the old man's offer and said, "If it's 8 million, will he accept it?"
"Let's take a look and tell you. My lowest price is..."
Before Zhang Yiming finished speaking, the office door opened again and Xia Zekai came in.
He must have just washed his hands. The water on his hands had not been wiped clean yet. 'Shuisha' took out two pieces of tissue paper and wiped them clean. He threw the balled up tissue paper into the trash can and looked at it.
Zhang Yiming asked him: "Mr. Zhang, how are you thinking?"
"If you haven't already, don't worry. I'll take you two out for a walk to see the style of our old city in Qilu. Speaking of which, our place is still the old capital of Qi. I'll treat you to some of our Qi's specialties tonight.
." Xia Zekai said with a smile.
Zhang Yiming did not expect that Xia Zekai would become talkative again. He said: "8 million, what do you think, Boss Xia?"
"Forget it, let's go out for a walk first. We won't be busy talking about these issues today." Xia Zekai simply stopped talking.
This shows that he still thinks the price is too high, and he doesn't even bother to bargain. The gap with his psychological expectations is too big.
