156. Getting rich overnight is waiting for you (base more six thousand words)
For a while, the atmosphere in the office was a little dull.
Ji Tianfan also knows that every investment is a game. It is not just a competition with other investors, but also a game between himself and the investors.
Ji Tianfan has met countless entrepreneurs, and he can tell at a glance that Chen Dongcheng belongs to that kind of second-generation entrepreneur.
Having no shortage of money is their label, which is more difficult for Ji Tianfan than for ordinary entrepreneurs.
"Mr. Ji, what is your valuation of keep?"
"Ten million dollars."
Ji Tianfan looked at Chen Dongcheng seriously: "I am very optimistic about the general trend of consumption upgrading and the development of the sports and health industry.
Keep can break the limitations of time and space and make fitness more convenient.
Especially your planning of community functions, I think this is the biggest highlight.
It is precisely because of keep’s social attributes that it is worth the price I offer.”
Chen Dongcheng could still remain calm, while Zhuang Manting suppressed the excitement in her heart.
In just a short time, keep’s valuation is already worth 10 million US dollars.
However, having been in contact with Chen Dongcheng for a long time, Zhuang Manting also knows how high Chen Dongcheng's expectations are for keep.
Although ten million US dollars is quite a lot, it is not too attractive.
Ji Tianfan continued: "The price we offer is to invest in 5 out of 10 pre-investments, but I hope you can set aside 20% of the option pool."
Capital is greedy, and Chen Dongcheng knows this very well.
Ji Tianfan's plan is for them to invest US$5 million, giving keep a pre-investment valuation of US$10 million.
This is equivalent to a post-investment valuation of US$15 million, and they hold 33% of the shares in keep.
As the founder of the company, Chen Dongcheng is also the sole shareholder.
20% of the shares must be used as an option pool to reward old employees and talents who join in the future.
This means that after they invested, Chen Dongcheng actually held less than 50% of the shares.
Chen Dongcheng understood after a moment of thought, shook his head and refused: "Sorry, the keep funds are still abundant at the moment."
Ji Tianfan frowned and said, "Mr. Chen, with all due respect, this price is already quite high.
I think the most important thing you should do now is to get this money and further expand the popularity of keep. You are not the only one in the Internet fitness field."
This price was quite sincere in Ji Tianfan's eyes, but Chen Dongcheng refused more simply.
"I'm still sorry. I hope Bestamann can make a more in-depth evaluation of keep after some time."
When Ji Tianfan heard what Chen Dongcheng said, he didn't know that his visit was in vain.
"Well, I hope Mr. Chen can think clearly as soon as possible. The survival of Internet companies sometimes only depends on a thought."
Ji Tianfan was also very straightforward. Since the negotiation couldn't be concluded, he didn't stay any longer.
Now Ji Tianfan is more optimistic about the potential of keep, but he has no choice but to meet Chen Dongcheng, who is not short of money.
Xie Jingyu kept sending Ji Tianfan out. Chen Dongcheng glanced at Zhuang Manting: "Don't want to ask me why I refused?"
"Yes, but the company is yours, and I believe you will not harm your company."
Zhuang Manting's eyes were clear and she trusted Chen Dongcheng as always.
Chen Dongcheng held this silly girl in his arms and said softly: "As long as I agree now, the company will no longer be ours."
"Besides, the price they offered is still a bit low."
Zhuang Manting leaned on Chen Dongcheng's chest and gradually relaxed her body: "Then what do you think the valuation is appropriate?"
"At least 20 million US dollars, all you have to do is retain users, and we will organize another event in a few days."
Chen Dongcheng tasted the benefits of Weibo last time and plans to attract a large number of users from Weibo.
Weibo has hundreds of millions of users, and they don’t care at all about how many users keep attracts.
Not to mention that Keep tried their best but only digested one million.
That is, only at the level of Douyin can Weibo start to block it.
"Today is the 1st, so let's set it on the 7th. You contact the Weibo operation team. I want to draw a prize."
Zhuang Manting nodded: "Okay, what is the gift?"
"With 10,000 per person, 107 lucky users will be drawn. Also, users who download keep will have a higher chance of winning."
"ah?"
Zhuang Manting knew that Chen Dongcheng was rich, but this was too extravagant.
"Is it too much?"
"How else can it be shocking?"
Chen Dongcheng is very aware of the popularity that lottery draws can accumulate. Wang Sicheng and other rich second generations have done this before.
Take a Mercedes-Benz with a retail price of more than 300,000 yuan, and it will get more than 3.9 million retweets and more than 3.5 million comments.
After all, you can get rich overnight with just a few clicks, who wouldn’t want to give it a try?
Zhuang Manting acted quickly and contacted the Weibo operation team.
After hearing this, the other party took it very seriously.
This is the most attractive publicity plan that the Weibo operation team has encountered so far.
The amount of this lottery is so high that many Weibo employees are thinking about it.
Chen Dongcheng is not without conditions. The lottery platform and publicity are all handed over to Weibo, so they can earn enough traffic.
But the user list for the lottery must all be among the keep users.
Otherwise, if you make a profit at a loss and still fail to attract users, then you will lose money.
These conditions have been agreed to by Weibo one by one. Weibo does not have to spend a penny and it has earned enough traffic. It has to be a benefit for keep, right?
It is equivalent to Chen Dongcheng giving away money, earning traffic on Weibo, and attracting a large number of users.
Of course, keep is not at a loss, and may usher in a real golden period.
…
After the electronic syllable festival, Shenzhen University entered an intense period of preparation for exams.
When Lu Bai and the others take time, they will also go to various dormitories and classrooms to promote.
They have exclusive verification codes. As long as users download keep through the invitation code they send, the employees of keep will record it and then settle the corresponding rewards for them.
This was what we had agreed upon before, and Chen Dongcheng was not short of this little money.
Firstly, it allows Fu Boyang and Zhong Hanwen, who are from ordinary families, to earn some extra money. Secondly, promotion really requires manpower.
There are more than 30,000 students at Shenzhen University, and it is impossible for everyone to download it.
Chen Dongcheng estimates that 60% is pretty good.
But in the early stage, the more registered users Keep has, the higher the valuation offered by investors will be, forming a virtuous cycle.
The reason Chen Dongcheng refused Ji Tianfan was because Zhu Tao had already transferred 200 million to Chen Dongcheng's account.
With 200 million granted to Chen Dongcheng, Zhu Tao is firmly on Diaoyutai.
Chen Dongcheng's mortgaged assets alone were nearly 400 million, so he was able to get the approval so quickly.
Although the interest rate is 6%, what Zhu Tao can do is help Chen Dongcheng extend the one-year term into a two-year term.
The longer the loan period, the higher the interest rate charged by the bank.
According to ICBC's interest rate for one to three years, it will increase to 6.15%.
Zhu Tao's words saved Chen Dongcheng 300,000 yuan.
As for the Centurion Black Gold Card, Gu Shouyi, the president of Pengcheng Branch, hosted a banquet for Chen Dongcheng and handed it over in person.
The dinner venue was Guangdong Hui, a Chaozhou restaurant.
Chen Dongcheng walked into the box and saw a middle-aged man sitting in the room.
"Mr. Chen, hello."
Gu Shouyi, who was sitting in the middle, stood up with a smile, walked over and shook hands with Chen Dongcheng: "Mr. Chen, I have been famous for you for a long time, and I just got to meet you today."
"Gu Xing is welcome."
Chen Dongcheng and Gu Shouyi exchanged greetings and then took their seats.
Gu Shouyi winked at his secretary, who immediately took out a box.
"Mr. Chen, this is your ICBC Centurion Black Gold Card, with a maximum limit of 10 million."
Gu Shouyi said with a smile: "Lao Zhu was not particular and took down Mr. Chen without saying a word. I was so worried that I couldn't eat for three days."
With Gu Shouyi's body type, even if he doesn't eat for a week, he may not lose much weight.
Gu Shouyi saw that Chen Dongcheng didn't say anything and was just playing with the cards.
"Mr. Chen, let's chat while eating?"
"Okay, let Gu Xing arrange it."
Gu Shouyi directly asked the waiter to serve the food, and introduced with a smile: "Mr. Chen, the chef of Guangdong Hai Hui is amazing.
Learned from the late Chaozhou cuisine master Lin Ziran, I was addicted after eating it once.
Every time I have a banquet, I almost always come here.”
"Then you must try it."
Chen Dongcheng casually put the credit card in the box and handed it to Xie Jingyu who was also in the private room.
"Mr. Chen, I heard from Zhu Tao that you bought an office building in Shanghai?"
"It's just a small fight."
Gu Shouyi shook his head: "Mr. Chen, not many people can buy a first-floor office building in the Global Center. This proves that your strength is extraordinary."
Chen Dongcheng smiled and said nothing, watching Gu Shouyi's performance.
"Mr. Chen, I wonder what you think of Pengcheng ICBC?"
Gu Shouyi directly explained the purpose of his visit: "I think if Mr. Chen needs a mortgage loan in the future, he can just contact me, Lao Gu, and I guarantee that the conditions I will give you will be no worse than those of Zhu Tao."
Although ICBC is the largest bank in the world, competition among its branches is also fierce.
Magic City will naturally overpower Pengcheng, but Pengcheng still lacks some foundation.
What Gu Shouyi couldn't tolerate the most was that a high-quality customer like Chen Dongcheng was snatched away by Zhu Tao under his nose.
Gu Shouyi felt ashamed when he said it, and he was not an ordinary high-quality customer.
Net assets of 400 million and no liabilities.
Such a high-quality customer was actually snatched away by Zhu Tao's grandson. The most annoying thing was that Zhu Tao showed off to him.
Originally, a vice president personally delivering a card to Chen Dongcheng was enough to show respect for Chen Dongcheng.
But Gu Shouyi hopes to have a good relationship with Chen Dongcheng. If he really needs a loan in the future, Chen Dongcheng will have many options to avoid being picked off by Zhu Tao.
"Zhu Xing was introduced by a friend. If I had known Gu Xing earlier, I would have left this business in your hands no matter what."
Chen Dongcheng is very good at talking, and Shangdong Technology is currently in Pengcheng, so he may need Gu Shouyi's help many times in the future.
It is still necessary to broaden the network of contacts, and Gu Shouyi's level is sufficient, so he is a proper department-level cadre.
Gu Shouyi immediately smiled with satisfaction and said, "I heard that Mr. Chen is still a college student and can be called a young talent."
"I don't dare to take it seriously. Principal Chen from Shenzhen University has also been very helpful to me. Principal Lu has always been very concerned about my entrepreneurial work."
The more humble Chen Dongcheng is, the more satisfied Gu Shouyi will be.
If Zhu Tao hadn't arrived so suddenly, Gu Shouyi might not have paid much attention to Chen Dongcheng.
"Come on, let's eat some food. Mr. Chen might as well try out the skills of this great chef who is a bit like Master Lin."
Gu Shouyi smiled and gestured, taking the lead in using his chopsticks.
When they first met, Gu Shouyi and Chen Dongcheng drank some red wine without hesitation.
Mainly talking about changes in Pengcheng and the general trend of the Internet.
When Chen Dongcheng said that Bestaman planned to invest in Shangdong Technology and gave a valuation of US$15 million after the investment, Gu Shouyi's eyes lit up even more.
When Gu Shouyi was in his early forties, he was able to sit in the position of president of the Pengcheng branch and had very good connections.
Especially when Chen Dongcheng took the initiative to reveal a little about the company's financing situation, Gu Shouyi became obviously more enthusiastic.
Chen Dongcheng also made a big promise to Gu Shouyi. If he needs loans in the future, he must give priority to Pengcheng Branch.
It is said to be 200 million, and the 60 million invested in the nightclub has been deducted.
Xie Jingyu also arranged for someone to be responsible for supervising the finances. Thirteen Entertainment has just started, but the scene is already quite big.
The news has spread in all circles of the second generation of Magic City.
Wei Ziliang, Yu Jiaci, Fatty Xu and a mysterious second generation from the Northeast.
A joint investment of 100 million will be made to open the largest nightclub in Shanghai.
When the news came out, the entire second-generation circle was excited.
What they most hope is that there will be such a nightclub, a place that is not bad at money but only bad at showing off.
Wei Ziliang and the others are all familiar with it, and they also said that Mr. Thirteen will definitely satisfy them. The venue is definitely the biggest in the Magic City, and the pretense effect is also the best.
As for spending tens of thousands of yuan a night, these second-generation people don't care at all.
In order to improve the quality of girls in the nightclub, Wei Ziliang spent a lot of time coaxing the girls in his address book.
When the time comes, we will have to rely on them to bring the sisters over to support us.
Most of the high-quality girls in nightclubs are paid to hire them.
Wei Ziliang has connections in this area, Yu Jiasi is responsible for daily affairs, Fatty Xu is busy with the work, and Chen Dongcheng and Gu Canyang are the coolest.
But Wei Ziliang and the others couldn't say anything. One of them contributed the most money, and the other had the strongest energy.
During this time, Berry also came over to help Chen Dongcheng get measured and try on clothes again. This time the fitting was mainly to ensure that Chen Dongcheng's clothes fit him well.
Chen Dongcheng now has several sets of semi-customized suits, and there is no shortage of them for the time being.
Berry agreed to come back after a while, and Chen Dongcheng would be able to get the final product by then.
…
"Damn it, I failed three subjects this semester. My second uncle shouldn't beat me to death, right?"
Lu Bai was crying in the dormitory. He was really happy usually, but when he took the exam, he was blind.
Fu Boyang and Zhong Hanwen are not worried about their grades at all.
If children from ordinary families don't realize the importance of academics, they will really be in trouble.
Lu Bai rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, how are your exams these days?"
"It's okay. I read the book during this period and it's not difficult to pass the exam."
Lu Bai didn't believe it: "Really or not, could it be that I was the only one in the dormitory who failed the exam?"
"Then you think that if I turn around and tell Principal Lu, you can't let your studies go to waste?"
Lu Bai quickly begged for mercy: "Brother Chen, please be a human being. It's not easy for me, brother..."
The results haven't come out yet, so Lu Bai can still survive for a while.
If Chen Dongcheng told Lu Hongbin now, Lu Bai would be done with it.
Chen Dongcheng just teased him and took out three red envelopes from the handbag he brought back.
"You have done a good job in promoting it during this period. A total of almost 12,000 Shenzhen University students have downloaded Keep through your invitation code. Each of you has exactly 4,000."
Chen Dongcheng directly handed the red envelopes distributed by Xie Jingyu to Lu Bai and the three of them.
"Wow, Brother Chen, I love you so much!"
Lu Bai held the thick red envelope in his hand in surprise.
Just this thickness made Lu Bai's heart beat fast.
Although the living allowance provided by my family is usually sufficient, it is still sufficient.
But college students have a lot of money to spend, and Lu Bai is embarrassed to always let Huang Naixin spend money.
Besides, if you make money through your own words, the money is well spent.
The same goes for Fu Boyang and Zhong Hanwen, who quickly thanked Chen Dongcheng: "Brother Chen, let's treat you and your sister-in-law to dinner tonight."
"Yes, call both sisters-in-law."
Lu Bai also said with a smile.
Fu Boyang scratched his head: "Two sisters-in-law?"
He is relatively honest, he only reads books when he has nothing to do, and it is very difficult to chase a girl.
Zhong Hanwen was quite clever. Hearing this, he pointed in the direction of the School of Foreign Languages.
"Go away, stop talking nonsense."
Chen Dongcheng glared at Lu Bai, who quickly shut up.
However, Chen Dongcheng still accepted the meal.
Now that they have money in their hands, Fu Boyang and Zhong Hanwen's minds have become more active.
"How about we get married in my sister-in-law's dormitory? Bah, it's a friendship, right?"
Fu Boyang chuckled and said, "Brother Chen, you and Lao Bai have both taken down the two golden flowers in dormitory 413. Hanwen and I have to work harder."
Zhong Hanwen smiled shyly and looked at Chen Dongcheng expectantly.
In dormitory 503, what Chen Dongcheng said had the most weight.
They also developed the habit of asking Chen Dongcheng first when something happens.
"I'm free. It's really time for you two to solve the problem of being single."
Chen Dongcheng looked at Lu Bai with a smile: "You decide the place, our dormitory will be aa today."
"Easy to say."
Lu Bai happily started looking for a place, and Zhong Hanwen and Fu Boyang also followed the staff.
Chen Dongcheng is not short of money, but he proposed AA to give Fu Boyang and the others their self-esteem.
Fu Boyang and Zhong Hanwen also understood this truth and felt warm in their hearts.
"Being able to be my roommate with Brother Chen is truly the greatest luck in my life!"
The three of them resonated and thought in unison.
Most of the time when college students are bored, it is the exams before holidays that make them nervous, and the study rooms in the library begin to be full.
Huang Naixin and the others were in their dormitory. When they heard that they wanted to invite them to dinner, they politely declined once and then agreed.
The location of the hotel was sent to them, and Chen Dongcheng and the others went to the hotel first and waited.
"Brother Chen, this hotel has a good reputation and the price is affordable. We are all students, so there is no need to waste so much."
Lu Bai walked into the hotel and explained to Chen Dongcheng that he was afraid that Chen Dongcheng would think it was of low quality and lose face.
"It's okay, let's go to the private room first."
Chen Dongcheng has eaten at cheap fly restaurants before, and he is not so squeamish.
What's more, it's not appropriate to always go to some high-end places with Lu Bai and the others.
The waiter poured a pot of tea first, and Chen Dongcheng and the others complained about how abnormal the final exam at Shenzhen University was, while chatting about their future plans.
I'm only a freshman now, so it's still a little early.
But through this period of promotion and publicity, Lu Bai and the three of them felt that they had gained a lot.
"Let me wipe it, this woman has ink stains. We have gone to the toilet three times, why haven't we come yet?"
Lu Bai muttered and suddenly whispered: "Here he comes."
Chen Dongcheng and the others immediately put away their laziness and looked at them as they were led by the waiter.
The most dazzling one is definitely Li Xingyao, Huang Naixin is slightly behind.
By the time Qiu Shiqi and Su Jin, well, they were quite pleasing to the eye.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Huang Naixin said with a smile, and then automatically sat next to Lu Bai.
Lu Bai helplessly wiped the stool with a paper towel, and then took the small bag Huang Naixin carried.
This set of actions almost made Chen Dongcheng and the others sick.
"So good, mua!"
Huang Naixin didn't take it seriously and kissed Lu Bai on the face.
Lu Bai looked at Chen Dongcheng and the others proudly: "I know you are envious. This is what we call affection."
"cut."
Chen Dongcheng pulled Li Xingyao to his side and sat down, hugging Li Xingyao.
Lu Bai's arrogance was immediately suppressed. He looked at Li Xingyao clinging to Chen Dongcheng's side, and withdrew his arms from Huang Naixin.
This appearance has been suppressed a bit, so I still have to keep a low profile.
Li Xingyao didn't understand the communication between the boys, so she muddleheadedly cooperated with Chen Dongcheng to complete a suppression.
Qiu Shiqi and Su Jin, one a fat and cute girl, the other a quiet lady, sat next to Fu Boyang and Zhong Hanwen respectively.
"We in dormitory 503 would appreciate the compliments from some beauties today. Come on, take your order first."
Lu Bai called the waiter and handed the menu to Huang Naixin beside him.
"You ladies have priority, order two for each of you."
Huang Naixin was not polite, ordered two of her favorite foods, passed them to Su Jin, and passed them on in turn.
Li Xingyao took the menu, tilted her head and asked Chen Dongcheng: "What do you want to eat?"
"I like to eat whatever you like to eat."
Li Xingyao smiled with satisfaction, making Lu Bai next to him roll his eyes.
I didn’t order too much. According to Lu Bai, his dishes are big.
The eight dishes were enough to feed several students, and I ordered a few more dumplings and two dashes of orange juice.
The waiter took the menu and went to the kitchen to announce the dishes.
With Lu Bai as a living treasure, the atmosphere was always lively.
Fu Boyang and Zhong Hanwen made some money and became more courageous. They took the initiative to chat with the girls around them.
Li Xingyao asked quietly: "Why have they changed so much?"
"I recently helped me do promotions and earned some pocket money. I finally have the courage to chase the girl in your dormitory."
Li Xingyao finally understood and was very happy.
It would be so interesting if these two couples got together again.
The two dormitories are truly married, and neither one is left behind.
While eating, Chen Dongcheng and Li Xingyao, who are already lovers, and Lu Bai and Huang Naixin generously shared the food with each other.
This made Fu Boyang and Zhong Hanwen feel a little embarrassed and envious.
"Bo Yang, Han Wen, there are serving chopsticks over there. Help Shi Qi and Su Jin pick up more dishes."
Chen Dongcheng couldn't stand it and spoke directly.
Fu Boyang and Zhong Hanwen also came to their senses and quickly used serving chopsticks to help pick up the food.
We have eaten together several times. We are all classmates, so we are familiar with each other.
That layer of window paper still needs to be pierced.
After eating, Lu Bai ran over to pay the bill and went back to aa in the evening.
When I was a student, singing was always indispensable during meals.
Lu Bai chose a KTV where Shenzhen college students often go.
Open a big bag, sing songs and drink some beer together.
Alcohol is definitely the best catalyst for hormones. After a few glasses of beer, a girl’s face will turn a little red.
Chen Dongcheng sat in the corner with Li Xingyao in his arms, eating the fruit that Li Xingyao fed to his mouth.
Li Xingyao was very happy in Chen Dongcheng's arms, talking about interesting things that happened recently,
Chen Dongcheng also talked about the company's financing situation, which made Li Xingyao particularly admired.
"So, your company's current valuation is almost 100 million?"
Chen Dongcheng nodded: "But I rejected him, so I'm still low."
Li Xingyao didn't understand it very well, but it didn't stop her from admiring Chen Dongcheng.
At the same age, many second-generation people are still squandering money given by their parents.
Chen Dongcheng has already made achievements and won recognition from investors.
Li Xingyao sometimes finds it unreal that such a boy can become her boyfriend.
