The ingredients, which everyone usually only sees pictures on the Internet, are packed in square wooden boxes and presented.
Look at the utensils used to serve food. They are all unique.
In ordinary hot pot restaurants, the ingredients are placed on a plate and served to the table.
The square wooden box designed by this top hot pot restaurant is very innovative.
And in order to save dining space on the table, this restaurant does not have a special chopstick holder, but places it horizontally on the bone plate.
The high-end style of Gaojiu Restaurant is evident in every detail.
It is no exaggeration to say that most people are reluctant to even come to this restaurant and drink a glass of juice.
60 for a cup of freshly squeezed orange juice, leaving many employees with a bitter taste in their mouths.
They can only afford one glass of juice for a day's meal.
During the meal, Chen Dongcheng also said a few words.
Not only the employees of Caocao Logistics, but also many waiters in the restaurant listened curiously.
“Although Caocao Logistics started late, the company’s emphasis on talents is no worse than any other company.
After discussion with Mr. Zhou, I decided to invest no less than 8% of revenue every year in technology research and development.
It is expected that in the next two years, a team of technical personnel of more than 2,000 people will be established."
As soon as Chen Dongcheng finished speaking, the scene fell into silence, followed by thunderous applause.
Especially many employees in the technical department have red eyes.
Because they really feel that the big boss attaches great importance to technology!
Looking at domestic logistics companies, SF Express is the one that attaches the most importance to scientific research investment.
The number of R&D personnel, including outsourcing, is only about 4,000.
Even so, SF Express's investment in scientific research only accounts for 3% of its revenue.
Other three links and one link, including BEST, also focus on R&D and focus on operations.
Caocao Logistics wants to find a new way to get a share of the pie. It is wisest to pay attention to R&D personnel and take the route of a smart logistics company.
As for the business of Caocao Logistics, there is no need to worry at all.
The huge order volume of Pinduoduo and Blue Whale is enough to support Cao Cao Logistics.
There were quite a few waitresses in the restaurant, and all of them looked at them with a bit of obsession.
Some men really shine brightly at certain moments.
Many women know that they are destined to be just moths attracted to the flame, but they still keep going.
After a sensational speech, the excitement of the employees once again reached a small level.
[Current employee excitement peak: 91 points]
After the meal, the employees took taxis and left in twos and twos.
Today, not only employees, but also company executives put down their identities and drank with employees.
Zhou Shaohua stayed at the end, watching the manager report the accounts.
"Mr. Chen, you and your employees spent a total of 750,000 today. I will give you a zero for the service fee. I will charge you 50,000, but you can give me 800,000."
The bill was printed out, it kept clicking, and it was more than one meter long.
Zhou Shaohua took a look at the menu and saw a plate of Huadiao M9 Wagyu beef for 789. He ordered 180 plates in total.
A plate of Eastern Star Spot costs 1,000, so I directly ordered a 200 plate.
Counting others, these guys are really brave.
Zhou Shaohua looked at the bill, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching.
It's a good thing it's not the company's account, otherwise he would be heartbroken.
Chen Dongcheng happily took out his ICBC black card and swiped the bill, feeling a little regretful.
Seven hundred and fifty thousand, which is definitely the highest single-day turnover in history for this top hot pot restaurant.
But in Chen Dongcheng's mind, that's all.
It's really difficult to get some money from games.
Thanks to Chen Dongcheng's quick wit, he temporarily asked Xie Jingyu to purchase a batch of Paris-Jouët to support the occasion.
Female employees may not be able to drink as much liquor as they want.
But for champagne, basically everyone can try to drink half the bottle.
The meal cost is 750,000, which is average.
The drinks were pretty good, with nearly 300 people, and in high spirits, a total of 500 bottles were consumed.
The purchase price of each bottle of Perrier-Jouët is exactly 1,500, so the cost of drinks is exactly 750,000.
[Current employee excitement peak: 93 points]
[Total consumption amount: 1.5 million]
[Settlement has been completed for the player, congratulations to the player for receiving 2.79 million step rewards]
After making up for the annual dinner for Caocao Logistics employees, Chen Dongcheng did not stay in Ningbo and transferred to Kuala Lumpur.
This trip to Kuala Lumpur was mainly due to the call from Cai Bingyao.
Negotiate about Grab’s next round of financing.
In one year, grab has developed very quickly.
The US$250 million it received previously allowed Grab to compete with Uber in Southeast Asia.
Coupled with the fact that Didi is doing well domestically and intends to support its allies in Southeast Asia and the United States, there is an opportunity for this round of financing.
grab inside the conference room.
Liu Qing's eyes widened as she never expected to meet Chen Dongcheng on such an occasion.
Cai Bingyao didn't know some of the connections between Liu Qing and Chen Dongcheng, so he introduced them with a smile.
"Mr. Liu and Mr. Chen are the largest shareholders of our Grab, with a shareholding ratio of up to 40%.
So when it comes to this financing, we must seek Mr. Chen’s opinion.”
The words that kept echoing in Liu Qing's mind were "the largest shareholder holds 40% of the shares."
What frightened Liu Qing the most was Chen Dongcheng’s vision. When did he become a grab investor?
It seems to be round C?
Liu Qing remembered that Cheng Wei seemed to have mentioned it.
At that time, Didi also sent a group of engineers to help Grab build the software platform.
At the beginning, no one expected that grab would reach where it is today.
Today, the potential of the Southeast Asian market has been noticed by many companies.
However, strong dragons cannot overwhelm local snakes, and Didi doesn’t know how deep the water in Southeast Asia is.
We can only find local companies and try to support them.
Chen Dongcheng smiled and extended his hand to Liu Qing: "Mr. Liu, hello."
Liu Qing shook hands with Chen Dongcheng with a complex expression and sat opposite Chen Dongcheng.
Cai Bingyao also noticed that Liu Qing seemed to have some other connections with Chen Dongcheng, but they had nothing to do with financing.
“Currently, everyone agrees that Grab’s valuation in this round is US$1.2 billion, due to business needs and the strong pressure from Uber.
We plan to continue to invest 30% of our equity in this round of financing. Does Mr. Chen intend to continue to invest?"
Cai Bingyao respects Chen Dongcheng very much. Whether Chen Dongcheng continues to invest or not, it will not affect his status.
"I won't follow this round. Since Didi intends to invest, I believe Mr. Liu will be able to coordinate the anti-Uber alliance."
Chen Dongcheng looked at Liu Qing with a smile and said.
Liu Qing had already calmed down and resumed her posture as a strong woman in the workplace. She said calmly: "Mr. Chen can rest assured that our strategic investment in grab is to help other allies drive Uber back to the United States as soon as possible."
It can be said that Didi is making great strides now.
Strategic investment in Lyft, the second largest taxi-hailing app in the United States, and investment in Indian taxi-hailing app O.
It is also interesting to say that this anti-Uber alliance proposal was originally told by Chen Dongcheng to Cheng Wei and Liu Qing.
To this day, when they meet again, they are still allies.
I have to say, life is really full of drama.
Liu Qing adjusted his expression and said with bright eyes: "After we invested in Lyft, the most obvious effect is that Uber's base camp, which was once as stable as Mount Tai, is now starting to catch fire."
Cai Bingyao nodded slightly, obviously he had heard something.
Liu Qing continued: “According to the plan we have formulated, Uber should be expected to completely withdraw from China before the end of next year.
As for Southeast Asia and India, I believe it shouldn’t be too far away.”
The four of them together do not have as high a valuation as Uber, nor do they have as much financing.
However, if you don’t cooperate, you will be more easily defeated by Uber one by one.
Cai Bingyao was not surprised that Chen Dongcheng would choose not to follow. Chen Dongcheng's previous investment of 100 million US dollars had shocked him.
There is no point in continuing to follow, after all, SoftBank uses the money of many wealthy people to invest.
How can one person fight against a group of people?
Compared with when Chen Dongcheng invested last year, grab's valuation has risen from US$500 million to US$1.2 billion.
The increase is as high as 240%!
Naturally, the equity held by Chen Dongcheng will be diluted, from 40% to 28%, and his status as a major shareholder will be lost.
However, Chen Dongcheng never took that identity seriously.
According to Grab’s development model, the subsequent financing amount is even more crazy.
The equity of many investors has been wildly diluted.
In contrast, investing in shares in the early stage can ensure that losses will not be greater.
In the evening, Cai Bingyao found a high-end hotel in the local area and invited many investors and company executives to a banquet.
Celebrities gathered that night, and Liu Qing was very accustomed to such occasions.
While socializing around with a champagne glass, her father had been observing Chen Dongcheng.
Chen Dongcheng doesn't really like to attend such occasions, but today is the celebration banquet for Grab's financing finalization.
Both emotionally and rationally, he had to support Cai Bingyao to give him face.
The word unicorn is really not very valuable in Chen Dongcheng's eyes.
He can easily create more than one unicorn company.
But for the vast majority of entrepreneurs, unicorns are like an elusive dream.
Just like the goddess of luck, she is aloof and never bows her head to favor them.
"Mr. Chen."
Liu Qing came over and shouted softly.
Chen Dongcheng turned his head and clinked glasses with Liu Qing with a smile: "Is something wrong?"
"I don't think we need to be so different. I wouldn't have joined Didi if it wasn't for Mr. Chen's help."
Liu Qing looks ordinary, but she has the aura of a strong woman that makes no one look down upon her.
Chen Dongcheng smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Liu misunderstood. To me, Didi is no different from Grab. They are both better investment projects.
The reason why I helped was because I didn’t want the money I invested to go down the drain.”
"No matter what, I want to thank you.
Otherwise, I would still be living a boring investment life at Goldman Sachs.
The two years I spent at Didi were very meaningful to me."
Liu Qing looked sincere and raised his glass to Chen Dongcheng.
"bite."
The crisp sound of clinking champagne glasses was heard, and Chen Dongcheng took a sip of champagne.
Looking at Cai Bingyao, who was excitedly circling among investors, Chen Dongcheng said softly: "Cai Bingyao is very capable and has a strong family background. He can help us expand the market in Southeast Asia."
Liu Qing also looked over and nodded in agreement.
“Grab’s development is faster than Cheng Wei and I expected, which is why we included Grab in the anti-Uber alliance.”
"Come on, I'm optimistic about you."
Chen Dongcheng smiled and clinked glasses with Liu Qing again and drank the champagne in one gulp.
Put down the champagne glass and leave the banquet hall gracefully.
Liu Qing gradually withdrew his gaze as Chen Dongcheng's back gradually disappeared.
"Mr. Liu, do you know Mr. Chen?"
Chen Huiling, who was Cai Bingyao's right-hand man, came over and asked curiously.
Liu Qing admired Chen Huiling very much. There were very few women who could reach this position in the shopping mall.
"There was a relationship, but I didn't expect that Mr. Chen would quietly become Grab's largest shareholder."
"No wonder Mr. Liu's expression changed so much after seeing Mr. Chen."
Chen Huiling didn't think much about it, she was just a little curious.
As far as Liu Qing's appearance is concerned, there is no other possibility with Chen Dongcheng.
…
September 26th.
Chen Dongcheng has been waiting for so long and finally waited for the most anticipated annual gift package.
[The player has been successfully bound to the game for two years, and the player can receive the annual gift package]
[Detect the player's current level...The player's current level is master level]
[The player successfully opens the annual gift package, and the rewards are as follows: 30 million steps, office coupons (50% off), wealthy boss experience card, currency replacement card, monthly card with double steps]
Chen Dongcheng watched it for a long time and found that this annual gift package was really impressive.
Let’s take the worst monthly card first.
After using it, Chen Dongcheng's daily steps will double in the next month.
What is the concept? Taking one step is equivalent to taking two steps.
According to Chen Dongcheng’s daily exercise amount, 15,000 steps a day is basically no problem.
With this step doubling card, you can directly take 30,000 steps per day.
Easily accumulate 900,000 steps in a month, and get 50 million.
The currency replacement card is even more amazing.
Chen Dongcheng can extract and replace any currency in the world.
To put it simply, the currency that can be exchanged for the steps stored in Chen Dongcheng's game is RMB.
If you use this card, Chen Dongcheng can exchange it into US dollars or Euros.
Chen Dongcheng almost fainted with excitement. If he could cash out all his steps, wouldn't he be able to exchange them for billions of euros?
Obviously, it is impossible for Chen Dongcheng to exploit such a big loophole in the game.
[Props: Currency Experience Card]
[Quality: Rare]
[Note: Players must stay in the city where currency is used for one month before they can qualify for currency exchange.
These 2 cards can only be used with the Double Steps Monthly Card. In the next month, the number of steps taken by the player every day will be replaced with the currency designated by the player]
Chen Dongcheng's interest suddenly dropped a lot.
Just now I thought I had reached the pinnacle of my life, but in the end I was still one step behind.
The currencies of some countries are valuable, but letting Chen Dongcheng stay in a place like that for a month is not asking for trouble.
With such a restriction, there are not many places to choose from.
Europe, the United States, Switzerland, Canada.
The currency exchange ratios of these four countries are very high, and they are also suitable for tourism.
They were written out one by one by Chen Dongcheng as an alternative.
Needless to say, I’ve gotten office building coupons before.
The 50% discount is worthy of Chen Dongcheng's long wait.
Therefore, in this annual gift pack, there is only one card with unknown function.
[Props: Rich Boss Experience Card]
[Quality: Legend]
[Note: Players need to acquire a team, and the specific acquisition amount will be borne by the game.
Subsequent investment in the team will also be funded by the game, and players can fully experience the identity of a wealthy boss from a real-person perspective.
During the experience process, fans’ evaluation of players is very important.
At the end of each season, the game will assess players.
If the fans' evaluation of the player is lower than 60 points, the player will not receive any rewards.
If fans rate the player more than 60 points, the maximum score is 100 points.
Players can receive rewards that are multiples of the team's season revenue.
For example, the fans' rating of the player at the end of the season is 60 points, and the team's revenue is 200 million euros.
Players can receive 1x the reward, which is 200 million euros.
The highest score is 100 points, and players can get 5 times the reward]
After Chen Dongcheng read it, he was extremely shocked.
You don’t need to fund the purchase and operation of the team yourself, and there are game rewards at the end of the season.
This real-life version of Shenhao boss development game is so exciting!
