Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 612 Finalize Cooperation
The meeting tonight~ was held in a well-known clubhouse in Yanjing.

But don’t think too much about it~ This club is not the same as those so-called high-end private SPA clubs later.

In fact, the clubhouse was very serious when it was first introduced into the country, and the general clubhouse is mainly to provide members with a platform for mutual help and mutual benefit.

It's just that I don't know how to drop it later, the atmosphere of this club has gone wrong, from the high-end atmosphere at the beginning~ gradually evolved into the young model of the club later!

Of course~ The club where Chen Li came to at the moment is naturally serious, after all, he came here to talk about serious business.

In fact, the main reason is that there is a cigar hall in this clubhouse. It is said that there are high-end cigars from Cuba, so Mr. Xiong invited Chen Li to taste them here.

Of course ~ if Chen Li has some unscrupulous requests, the club probably won't be unable to satisfy them.

Anyway, with this President Xiong's attitude~ as long as Chen Li is willing to let IDG enter the arena, everything else is easy to talk about!
Speaking of it~ With the status of Mr. Xiong in the domestic investment circle, there are very few companies that allow him to take the initiative like this.

It is said that a thousand-mile horse is common, but Bole is hard to find.But in the circle of investors, Bole is everywhere in this sentence, but there are not many Maxima.

It was hard to catch a thousand-mile horse~ Naturally, Mr. Xiong couldn't let it go.

Of course~ I really have to think about it. In fact, Dianping.com at the moment is at best a galloping horse. The main reason is that although Dianping.com has a lot of traffic, how to monetize it is a big problem.

After all, there is a big gap between this kind of forum-style website and portal website, no matter how high the traffic is~ but if you can't make money, then it doesn't make any sense at all.

But~ if the boss behind this forum-style website is Chen Li, then it's a different matter!
Although Chen Li is only in his early twenties, he is not considered top in the industry in terms of qualifications or strength, but there is one thing that has been recognized by many people in the investment circle.

That is. So far, none of the websites managed by Chen Li have made money.

Even the static website navigation of hao123 has been played by Chen Li, and the monthly income is even higher than that of some large Internet companies.

To be honest~ At this stage, it is already quite good for any Internet company to be able to achieve profitability.

But in Chen Li's hands, there are as many as three families!

Red Pony Technology ~ Panda QQ ~ hao123!

And the most terrible thing is that no matter which one of these three companies is at the top level in their respective fields.

And this kind of phenomenon obviously shows a problem, that is, Chen Li knows the Internet very well.

Even if Chen Li is not too young, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the person who knows the Internet operation best in China.

So ~ even if you don't look at the current situation of Dianping.com, just relying on Chen Li's name, in fact, the future of Dianping.com is worth a shot.

Not to mention that some time ago, because of the sweet and salty war on Dianping.com, it directly caused a lot of repercussions in the domestic Internet circle.

This made the reputation of Dianping.com quickly rise to a level that is only one line behind several major portal websites!

And this also means that Dianping.com is very likely to be the next old wave~ Sohu and Wangnan!

Although the current stock prices and market value of these three companies are almost in a mess, being able to go public ~ already represents a kind of success.

Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the sharp drop in the stock prices of these listed companies was affected by the Internet bubble crisis, and has nothing to do with the operations of the companies themselves.

Therefore~Dianping.com is very popular among investors.

It's a pity that Chen Li owns three Internet companies that have achieved profitability, plus a chain restaurant that can be called a cash cow, which also makes it very difficult for outsiders to take a piece of the pie from Chen Li.

It was hard for Xiong Xiaoou to make this decision, and the basis for his decision was the hundreds of pages of investigation reports in his office about Chen Li and the entire Dianping.com!
Otherwise~ the price quoted by Chen Li alone is enough to directly make Xiong Xiaoou give up the idea of ​​cooperating with Chen Li.

"Cough cough cough~!"

"Hey~ cigars. I'll forget it!"

Just when Xiong Xiaoou was thinking about how to persuade Chen Li to agree to this investment plan, Chen Li who was opposite him had been choked by a cigar and almost coughed out his lungs.

There are rumors that smoking cigars is less harmful to the body than smoking, but in fact~ Chen Li estimates that this statement is mostly spread by those who sell cigars.

This thing is actually a means of commercial hype, just like those who associate diamond rings with marriage, chocolate and roses with love.

In fact, whether it is cigars or cigarettes, the harm to the body is obvious.

In fact, Chen Li seldom smokes now, mainly because his life is more regular now, and his worries are much less than in his previous life, and his work pressure is also very low, so naturally he doesn't need cigarettes much.

It's not like the environment in the nightclub in the previous life, coupled with the high pressure of work, so Chen Li was quite addicted to smoking at that time.

"Haha~ cigars are like this, just smoke a few more times and get used to it."

"I'll prepare two boxes for me in a while, you can take them back and try~ If you think it's good to smoke, I'll get you some more!"

Xiong Xiaoou said with a smile~ But there was no hint of teasing in the words, but it gave Chen Li a sense of sincerity.

Of course~ Chen Li doesn't think that kind of sincerity has any credibility!

For people like Xiong Xiaoou, talking to people ~ hell talking nonsense is definitely just basic practice. If they can gain the other party's trust with words, it is definitely the most trouble-free way for them in this line of work.

It's just that the entrepreneurs that Xiong Xiaoou can meet ~ most of them are good people, and few people can trust him with just a few words.

Of course~ Most of the time, he doesn't actually need the trust of others.

After all, most of the time, he, the investor, is actually the one taking the initiative.

Only when facing an entrepreneur like Chen Li~Xiong Xiaoou will pay attention to his speech and behavior, after all, he is not short of money at all~ but he wants to give money to others.

That's how people are~ often only pay special attention to the things that you can't ask for, but don't cherish the things that you can get easily.

This point can also be seen from Xu Xing, who is also an investor.

God knows. Panda QQ has almost become Xu Xing's heart demon. Recently, Xu Xing is even considering Chen Li's suggestion to quit because of Panda QQ.

Chen Li only used one trick to dig Xu Xing, besides giving Xu Xing a large sum of money for investment ~ he also agreed to let Xu Xing invest in Panda QQ in his own name.

At the beginning Xu Xing refused very happily, but after the rejection, Xu Xing would think of Panda QQ from time to time.

In fact, if you really want to talk about the current situation of Panda QQ, if you really want to talk about how good it is, it must be better than Wangnan, which has already been listed.

But Xu Xing has already voted for Wangnan!But she never had a chance to get involved with Panda QQ.

This feeling made her very irritable!

Obviously, the Panda QQ piece of fat was right in front of him, and Chen Li even tried to tempt her with this piece of fat from time to time, but she just didn't eat it!
That feeling~ It's as uncomfortable as a cat's paw scratching glass!

The same reason~ For people like Xiong Xiaoou, successfully investing in a project is as normal as drinking water.

On the contrary, it's the kind of project that you can't ask for~ it really has a great attraction for him.

"Mr. Xiong~ This is not the first time we have dealt with each other."

"So~ I'll just say something directly."

Chen Li put down the so-called premium cigar, took out a pack of Hongtashan from his pocket, and took out one for himself to light.

He didn't smoke it~ he simply held it in his hand, which is commonly known as a companion!
"You should know that I am not short of that little money~ There are still millions of dollars in the bank account of Dianping.com that have not been spent."

"What Dianping.com needs are resources ~ contacts. I believe Mr. Xiong should have investigated this point."

"After all. You have already given your idea to the person in charge of our Dianping website."

Chen Li looked at Xiong Xiaoou with some dissatisfaction~ and Xiong Xiaoou could only smile with regret!
There's no way, this matter... After all, he is a little dishonest.

The main reason is that he didn't expect that although Chen Li was young, he was extremely experienced in controlling the company.

He just wanted to spend money to find an employee on Dianping.com to learn about the situation, but the supervisor gave him a "report" backhandedly!
What's more nonsense is that the supervisor really disclosed some information to him, and then took the favor fee he gave to invite all the people in the department to go out for a good meal.

But the most irritating thing was that the supervisor invited him to a dinner together!

Originally, he thought that he could inquire about more information at the dinner party, but as soon as he arrived, he found Chen Li waiting for him with a dark face.

Only then did he realize that from the very beginning, Chen Li guessed that he had already got the news.

But to be honest~ This is actually not a big deal, after all, what he inquired about was not any commercially confidential information.

It's just that the embarrassment of being exposed in person still makes him regret why he didn't send other people to do this.

At this time, Chen Li repeated the old saying~ Xiong Xiaoou could still feel that embarrassment.

"Of course~ Although the process may not be pleasant!"

"But I still feel your sincerity towards Investment Review, Mr. Xiong!"

"So I won't hang on to Mr. Xiong's appetite~ About the investment review website"

"I agreed!"

After speaking~ Chen Li got up and stretched out his hand to Xiong Xiaoou, and at this moment Xiong Xiaoou's reaction was obviously half a beat slow, but he immediately reacted and reached out to hold Chen Li together.

It's not that he hasn't seen the world~ It's that Chen Li doesn't follow the routine at all.

Originally, Xiong Xiaoou actually made countless drafts in his mind, and made various countermeasures for dealing with the possible rejections of Chen Li~ He was even ready to be rejected by Chen Li again, after all, it was not the first time he was rejected by Chen Li. Chen Li refused.

But what happened?He has been planning for a long time~ preparing for a long time, but he still hasn't said anything~!

Chen Li actually agreed!
This made Xiong Xiaoou's previous preparations ~ a bit like punching cotton ~ quite a bit unprepared.

But~ since Chen Li agreed, it is naturally a good thing, so at this moment, Xiong Xiaoou's face is almost smiling.

After all, I have been chasing after it for several months~ This matter finally has a happy ending, which is naturally something to be happy about.

But~ Xiong Xiaoou's smile didn't last long, and Chen Li over there continued to say:
"but.!"

In just two words, Xiong Xiaoou's adrenaline began to soar immediately.

This actually has a lot to do with Xiong Xiaoou's personality. He has always been a passionate player, which also makes it difficult for him to be as scheming as others emotionally even though he is in his current position.

To put it bluntly~ he is very emotional~ and he almost always expresses his emotions directly on his face.

But at this moment, in Chen Li's eyes~ he could clearly see that Xiong Xiaoou's expression had become unnatural, which might be a sign of anger.

But this is also very normal, after all, Mr. Xiong is the person in charge of an investment institution with billions of dollars in his hands, so it is not strange for Chen Li to be so clever~ it is not surprising to make the other party angry.

Of course~ Chen Li's words~ Naturally, there was no reversal, he quickly sped up his speech.

"However~ You can give me two more boxes of cigars!"

Cigars~ Of course, Chen Li couldn't smoke them himself, but he could give them to his old man and future father-in-law to taste.

"Cigars! Uh~haha, no problem, cigars are trivial!"

"Since Mr. Chen agrees, when do you want us to discuss the details of the cooperation?"

Hearing that Chen Li just wanted two more boxes of cigars, Xiong Xiaoou's expression immediately returned to normal.

Cigars are naturally just a trivial matter. Compared with this thing, it is safest to finalize the cooperation as soon as possible.

He was really a little speechless by Chen Li, a young man who didn't follow the rules!

"My assistant is outside~ the webmaster of Dianping.com is also on his way."

"Let's eat and talk later~ Let's try to finalize the contract tonight!"

Now that he has agreed, Chen Li will stop writing. The sooner the matter is resolved, the sooner he can get rid of Xiong Xiaoou.

In fact, this buddy is really very capable, and he is actually quite a good person, otherwise Chen Li wouldn't have been entangled by him to such an extent and still wouldn't have the heart to block him completely.

It's a pity that Chen Li knew very well that this guy was not like Xu Xing, he couldn't be recruited!
"Uh~ now?"

Xiong Xiaoou was taken aback by Chen Li's unconventional behavior again. Where did he negotiate a contract at the dinner table?
Don't look at the movies and TV dramas where people often take the contract to the dinner table to sign, but in fact that thing is just a deduction.

But any smart person would not really discuss any contract at the dinner table, after all, under the anesthesia of alcohol ~ maybe they will make some regrettable decisions.

Of course~Xiong Xiaoou would not refuse Chen Li's proposal.For him now, as long as this cooperation can be finalized, Chen Li can do whatever he wants!
"Okay~ no problem!"

"I'll notify the company right away!"
