Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 611 The Chase of Capital

For a southerner, the most anticipated thing in winter is snow.

It’s just that due to the climate, there are few opportunities to see heavy snow in winter in the south. Even if there is occasional light snowfall, it is basically just for fun, and the snow will definitely not accumulate.

But when it was changed to the north at the same time, it became another look.

As the saying goes, "Scenery of the Northland ~ thousands of miles of ice", these eight characters perfectly interpret the winter in the north.

Chen Li and Liu Qingqing were better, after all, they had been in Yanjing for almost three years, and they were already familiar with Yanjing in winter.

But for Chen Xue, who just came to Yanjing to go to school this year, the scenery in Yanjing City in winter seems a bit too beautiful.

It's not that the beauty of Yanjing City in winter surprised Chen Xue, the main reason is that Erlong Town never had heavy snowfall.

In fact, this statement is not quite right, because in Chen Li's memory, there was a heavy snowfall in Erlong Town in the 80s.

Of course, this is completely different from the snow in the north.

But even so~ this is a rare beauty in Erlong Town, in fact, this is how the word "Snow" in Chen Xue's name came about.

Because Chen Xue was born shortly after that heavy snow!

Also because of this heavy snowfall, many girls who were born in winter in Huilong County and even Nancheng City in that winter had the word "snow" in their names.

But in Chen Li's memory, it seemed that there was only one heavy snowfall.

In the following years~ the small snowflakes that float down from the sky every winter in Erlong Town basically disappear within a minute after falling on the ground!

But this winter, after seeing the heavy snow in the north, Chen Xue was naturally more excited.

Two days in a row~ Chen Xue took the little sisters in the dormitory who also came from the south to have fun in the school all day long.

However, the snow scene on campus can only be considered average. When Chen Li sent a car to take Chen Xue and her classmates to a certain scenic spot in the suburbs, the girl almost didn't want to go back to school.

Well~ In fact, the reason for this is that the southerners see too little of snow.

In his previous life, after Chen Li saw such a heavy snow in Yanjing City for the first time, he was also excited for several days.

But once the novelty is over, it will be like that!
After all, snow is nothing new in Yanjing City in winter.

So when it snowed heavily again in Yanjing City in December, Chen Xue was unwilling to go outside to have fun, but stayed at home with her family members.

The beef and mutton produced in Ideal Ranch ~ after being rolled in a copper pot, served with sesame sauce and chive flowers ~ is actually another delicious food for the Chen family.

Of course~ For people in Sichuan Province, this way of eating, that is, it’s okay to taste it occasionally.

Like Chen Li's father, it was difficult for him to accept this way of eating. On the contrary, Chen Li's mother was very used to this way of eating, and she was very happy eating it.

And the reason why the Chen family eats braised meat in a copper pot today is mainly because of one of the hottest topics on Dianping.com recently!
Sichuan-style hot pot shabu-shabu is delicious~ or copper pot shabu-shabu?

In Chen Li's opinion, this kind of question is actually very boring!
Because it has nothing to do with taste, it's just living habits and acceptance of food.

People in Sichuan Province have been accustomed to the spicy taste since childhood, so even if it is shabu-shabu, Sichuan-style hot pot is naturally better.

But all the young and old in Yanjing City have cooked meat in copper pots since childhood, so their acceptance of spicy hot pot is naturally less.

The boringness of this kind of question~ In fact, it is a truth to argue with the salty and sweet tofu brain.

It is also similar to ask a gringo which Chinese food is better or their own food. This question itself is actually very problematic.

Except for those who have been in China for many years and have almost been assimilated by Chinese culture, if other people say that Chinese food is better, that is definitely a compliment.

Chen Li still remembered that some video sites in his previous life would always make a fuss about this topic, that is, they would find a bunch of foreigners to taste Chinese food, and then ask them to praise how delicious Chinese food is.

This kind of video is nonsense. People eat their own food all their lives, and when they arrive in Huaxia, they immediately feel that Huaxia food can beat their country's food eight streets. Do you believe in such a thing?
Anyway, Chen Li didn't believe it!

What about this thing?Just like the first time Chen Li ate French steak, although he did think it was delicious, but if you were to ask which is better, French or Chinese, then Chen Li would definitely choose Chinese.

why?Why else?Chen Li grew up eating Chinese cuisine since he was a child. No matter which national cuisine is, it is not as delicious as his own food.

In fact, let alone comparing Chinese cuisine with foreign cuisine, even if you ask Chen Li to choose among the eight major cuisines in China, he will definitely choose Sichuan cuisine.

Because he is a native of Sichuan Province, and grew up eating Sichuan cuisine.

As for a foreigner praising Chinese cuisine as better than their own, there are probably only the following possibilities.

One is out of politeness ~ the other is for some other purposes!
But there is a third possibility. The other party is probably an Englishman!

Of course~ this is just a joke, although this joke is a bit like the truth.

In short, regarding this kind of debate about food, in Chen Li's view, it is purely a matter of being full and having nothing to do.

But this kind of debate is very easy to cause heat.

Yes~ Just like the sweet and salty battle about tofu on the Internet some time ago, the heat has become so high that even many official media have stepped down to put out the fire.

The debate about the sweet and salty war was deliberately arranged by Chen Li.

Yes~ Chen Li arranged it, or deliberately arranged it. As for the reason, I understand it!

Just a little bit~ After the sweet-salty war debate, the daily visits of Dianping.com directly exceeded the 200 million mark, which was considered a very good statistic in 2000.

You must know that the Tianya Forum, which will be popular all over the country in the future, broke the 150 million mark in daily visits. It was in 2004.

In 2000, Tianya Forum was just a small community with little reputation.

Chen Li estimated that it would be very difficult for the current Tianya Forum to develop into what it was in his previous life. The biggest reason is that Dianping seems to have replaced the status of Tianya Forum.

It's quite funny to say that Chen Li originally started Dianping.com for the future review website, but the current Dianping.com is more and more like a communication forum.

The most ridiculous thing is that the staff of Dianping.com, led by Song Xiaolan, seems to have given up on the original idea of ​​Dianping.com, and is now planning to focus on the word "Dianping" on Dianping.com.

It's just that this time, Dianping.com's review is no longer about merchants and stores, but about the affairs of the world!
Dianping.com ~ Comment on the world!This is the promotional slogan hanging on the website of Dianping.com!
Regarding this~ Chen Li felt his whole body was numb!
After all, the way Dianping.com unfolded~ completely exceeded his expectations, but no matter what, Dianping.com became popular.

In 2000, the direct impact of the prosperity of the website was the value of the website.

Not to mention anything else~ The valuation of Dianping.com alone has doubled several times in the investment circle.

It’s just that the owner of Dianping.com is rumored to be a rich man, so Dianping.com has not accepted any investment from individuals or investment institutions so far.

Well~ In fact, Chen Li can't hold on for long.

During the recent period, as the impact of the Internet bubble crisis has gradually diminished, a large number of investors have gradually regained their confidence in the prospects of the Internet.

Although they will not invest as much in the Internet as in the past, they are very close to some Internet companies that have shown sufficient market competitiveness.

After the salty-sweet battle, Chen Li met eleven investors within a week, all of whom came to him to invest in Dianping.com.

Among them are many investors and investment institutions that Chen Li is familiar with, such as IDG Capital, which has invested in many companies including Tengxun in his previous life.

Speaking of it~ IDG is actually an acquaintance of Chen Li, because IDG has been chasing Chen Li before and wanted to invest in Panda QQ.

Speaking of it~ IDG's investment in Fujixun in the previous life was actually somewhat controversial.Also because of this reason, so when someone took over the offer~ IDG quickly cashed out and left.

But now IDG has taken the initiative to start chasing Panda QQ. The reason is of course that the development of Panda QQ is better than that of Tengxun QQ in the previous life.

But this is also very normal. After all, due to financial constraints in the previous life, Fuji Xun's early development was actually very average, and even took a lot of detours.

But now that Chen Li has taken over QQ, he has directly avoided these problems.

There is no shortage of money~ Chen Li, and the development direction~ Chen Li is also not lacking.

Even Chen Li doesn't need to use his own brain at all, he just needs to start over the development path of Tengxun QQ in his previous life.

As for Panda QQ, the moment it reached a partnership with a communication giant, it was actually brought back to life.

Coupled with Chen Li's changes to Panda QQ, Panda QQ quickly occupied the domestic social software market after getting rid of the market crisis caused by the nonsense of the previous company.

Subsequently ~ Panda QQ successively launched QQ membership service and QQ game platform, and officially launched the value-added service QQ Show and free service QQ mailbox in June this year.

And just last month~ Panda QQ has completely got rid of losses and completely realized official profits.

This makes Panda QQ extremely eye-catching in today's environment where almost all Internet companies are losing money!
So. Even under such circumstances, Chen Li's meal at home was not clean enough.

"There's no way you can go on like this!"

"If you have a call, answer it. If you really don't want to answer it, turn off your phone."

Chen Guofu saw his son's cell phone kept ringing, but Chen Li still didn't answer the phone, which was really annoying.

Chen Li was also a little depressed. He didn't expect that IDG's President Xiong to be so pestering. He had obviously rejected him several times, but this buddy kept pestering him.

Uh~ Don't get me wrong~ The reason why this person pesters Chen Li is naturally because of the investment.

To be honest~ It was the first time Chen Li met such a difficult person. He had clearly spoken clearly, but the other party was still fighting him.

Before Chen Li directly rejected the other party, this President Xiong not only didn't flinch, but went up to the difficulty and called Chen Li every day.

Later, Chen Li got a little annoyed by this guy, so he offered a valuation that was considered sky-high at the current stage, and as a result, something happened that Chen Li didn't expect.

Chen Li didn't know how this Xiong always persuaded the investors of IDG Capital. Anyway, the other party actually agreed to Chen Li's offer.

Now, the problem came to Chen Li!
Accept it~ Chen Li has no intention of accepting financing at this stage, and to put it bluntly~ he is not short of money.

Don't accept it~ He has already said what he said before, but he still agrees. If he doesn't give an explanation, what will Chen Li do in the future?
In fact, it makes sense~ IDG Capital is definitely one of the best partners at present.

As the first foreign investment fund to enter the China market, IDG Capital is definitely a leader in China's venture capital industry.

And the most important thing is that they not only provide funds to entrepreneurs, but also provide certain help and support to the invested enterprises after investment.

This is actually the embodiment of resources and contacts, and it is also what Chen Lixiang wants, and both of these~ IDG has no shortage!
The main reason why Chen Li is unwilling to agree is that behind this capital is a large group in the beautiful country.

To put it bluntly, Chen Li was a little tired of this, so he kept dragging the other party.

But what to say~ This kind of thing obviously cannot be solved by procrastinating.

Now this matter has affected his normal life, so Chen Li must solve this matter.

"Hey~ Boss Bear!"

Thinking of this, Chen Li put down his chopsticks, took his mobile phone and connected the call.

"Well~ I was having dinner with my family just now, and I didn't hear the call."

"It's okay, it's okay~ I should be the one saying sorry!"

"Okay~ Then you send me the address, and I'll rush over there right away!"

"it is good!"

Chen Li hung up the phone, sighed and said to his parents:

"Hey~ Then I'll go and settle the work first, you guys eat!"

After finishing speaking~ Chen Li made an apologetic expression to Liu Qingqing next to him.

Originally, I planned to spend a good time with Liu Qingqing tonight, but now it seems that there is no other way.

Fortunately, Liu Qingqing understood Chen Li very well. Not only did she not get angry, but she took the initiative to get up and help Chen Li pack up the briefcase.

At this moment, Chen Xue, who was opposite her, rolled her eyes, and quickly got up to get Chen Li's coat from the hanger.

"Ok?"

"There's nothing to be courteous about, what do you want to buy?"

Seeing his sister's appearance like this, Chen Li didn't understand that this little girl obviously had something to ask for himself.

"Hey hey~ hey hey!"

"That... I want to get a driver's license!"

"Driving license test? Hiss!"

Chen Li really took a deep breath at this meeting. Although it doesn't cost much to get a driver's license these days, the problem is...
I have passed the driver's license test~ Then, should Chen Li buy a car for Chen Xue?
Of course~ this has nothing to do with money, Chen Li even bought a courtyard house for Chen Xue before, but he hasn't told this girl yet.

After all, this girl Chen Xue is only a college student, and Chen Li doesn't want her to appear too flamboyant.

"Xiaoxue wants to learn to drive?"

"This is a good thing ~ leave this matter to me!"

At this moment, Liu Qingqing came over with Chen Li's briefcase, and looked at Chen Xue with a smile after listening.

"Ah, sister-in-law, you are so kind!"

Hearing Liu Qingqing's words~ The girl Chen Xue threw the coat into Chen Li's hand, and then moved to Liu Qingqing in a blink of an eye and hugged him.

"Uh okay!"

Chen Li was a little helpless, but this kind of thing is actually the same as his appointment tonight. It cannot be avoided at all.
