Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 338 Life and Death of Penguins
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhu Suosuo rushed to Jiang's house excitedly early in the morning. She doesn't want to stay at her uncle's house for a moment now. Apart from her aunt's constant nagging, her cousin Luo Jiaming's eyes also make her very uncomfortable. .

She is not a simple little white rabbit like Jiang Nansun. She has been used to the gazes of the opposite sex since she was a child, so she can naturally distinguish clearly what those gazes mean.

It was only after arriving at the Jiang family that Zhu Suosuo noticed that the atmosphere of the Jiang family was a little strange, but she said it again, but she felt that the Jiang family's attitude towards Qin Hao was different from before.

"Suosuo is here." Grandma Jiang waved cheerfully when she saw Zhu Suosuo coming to the door with a gift.

Zhu Suosuo had no choice but to temporarily put aside his doubts and came to Grandma Jiang.

"Happy New Year, grandma, I wish you a long life, good health, and happiness every day."

Grandma Jiang was in a particularly good mood, she took out the red envelope she had prepared in advance from her pocket, and stuffed it into Zhu Suosuo's hand.

"Okay, grandma also wishes you more and more beautiful, and you will meet a good man in the future."

Zhu Suosuo glanced in Qin Hao's direction subconsciously, and couldn't help feeling depressed. She had met Mr. Ruyi, but she might not be able to be with him for the rest of her life.

"Suosuo, Happy New Year." Jiang Nansun couldn't wait to hug his good sister after Zhu Suosuo paid New Year's greetings to his grandma.

Zhu Suosuo put his head on Jiang Nansun's chest, and rubbed it affectionately: "Happy New Year, you don't know that I miss you these two days, but I have to visit relatives during the two days of Chinese New Year, so I have time to come here today."

Qin Hao could only shake his head when he saw this scene. If he and Jiang Nansun had not broken through that relationship, he would doubt whether they were Lily because of their intimacy.

Zhu Suosuo also noticed Qin Hao's gaze, but raised his eyebrows provocatively, and pulled Jiang Nansun upstairs to whisper.

Jiang Nansun also has a lot to say to Zhu Suosuo, and at the same time has a secret to share with her.

However, just after Jiang Nansun took Zhu Suosuo back to the boudoir and told Zhu Suosuo about her and Qin Hao.

Zhu Suosuo seemed to have been hit hard on the brain.

Although, in her heart, she had expected this day to come, but when it really happened, Zhu Suosuo was still a little hard to accept. In fact, even she herself didn't know who she was feeling sad for.

Is it Qin Hao?Or Jiang Nansun?Or, both?
"Suosuo, what's wrong with you? Don't be angry, it's all that bad guy, he's a scoundrel, he hurts me to death." Jiang Nansun thought that Zhu Suosuo was complaining that he had concealed something from her and was angry, after all, they had sent it when they were young. Swear, there is no secret between each other.

Only then did Zhu Suosuo come back to his senses, and pretended to be angry: "Hmph, it's been two days, and you won't tell me until I come to the door. If I don't come, are you planning to keep it from me?"

Jiang Nansun dodged Zhu Suosuo's tickling attack, backed away with a laugh, and explained: "Oh, Suosuo, it can't be all my fault. How can I say this kind of thing on the phone? No, I will tell you as soon as you come." If I confess to you, please forgive me."

Zhu Suosuo raised his chin and snorted, "No, I will punish you."

Jiang Nansun tried to fool him by being coquettish, but Zhu Suosuo's attitude was extremely firm this time, and he didn't accept her tricks at all.

"Okay, tell me how to punish." Jiang Nansun could only appoint.

With a smirk, Zhu Suosuo pushed her down on the bed, then covered her with the quilt: "Tell me the details."

This is also a small habit among their girlfriends. If there is something inconvenient to say at ordinary times, the quilt is covered, so that the two parties cannot see each other's face, and there is no psychological burden to say it.

Jiang Nansun blushed immediately, and pulled Zhu Suosuo shyly: "I'm going to die, how dare I say such a thing."

"No, I want to listen. There is no room for bargaining for punishment." Zhu Suosuo used his own tickling method, and Jiang Nansun soon lost the strength to resist.

Being forced to do nothing, Jiang Nansun could only blush, shrink himself completely under the blanket, and try to remember.

"Oh, how do you say this?"

Zhu Suosuo thought for a while: "Uh, it started from that night."

"That night, he held my hand and started kissing me."

"In more detail, how did you feel when you kissed?"

"Huh? You also want to talk about this?"

"uh-huh."

Listening to Jiang Nansun's narration, Zhu Suosuo unconsciously began to breathe heavily, her mouth became dry, and her face became hot. Before she knew it, the scene of Jiang Nansun and Qin Hao's night began to appear in her mind. After a long time, Jiang Nansun's figure suddenly turned into herself, and later, she saw herself and Jiang Nansun hugging each other in white, Qin Hao's figure was getting closer and closer from the darkness
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Zhu Suosuo's fantasy came to an abrupt end.

Jiang Nansun jumped out of the bed like a rabbit, and asked with a flushed face, "Who is it?"

"I."

Qin Hao's voice came from outside the door, Zhu Suosuo was startled and almost fell off the bed.

Jiang Nansun slowed down, tidied up his messy long hair, and opened the door.

Qin Hao noticed that Jiang Nansun's hair was a little messy, Zhu Suosuo's face was even more flushed, and there were scattered quilts on the bed, he couldn't help frowning, and said to the two suspiciously.

"You shouldn't be carrying me behind your back."

Before Zhu Suosuo opened his mouth, Jiang Nansun quit. He grabbed Qin Hao's soft waist and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"That's right, Nansun and I have been together since childhood, and you are the latecomer." Zhu Suosuo also dared to refute.

Speaking of Zhu Suosuo, as if he was declaring his sovereignty, he put his arms around Jiang Nansun's waist and went downstairs.

This couldn't be tolerated anymore, Qin Hao decided to show some color to this guy who robbed him of a woman.

While the three of them were going to the supermarket together, Qin Hao whispered behind Zhu Suosuo while Jiang Nansun was picking fruits, "Have you thought about that question clearly?"

"What?" Zhu Suosuo didn't react for a while, but as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he thought of what Qin Hao meant, and was immediately ashamed and annoyed.

"No wonder Nansun said you are a scoundrel, you are simply vulgar!"

Zhu Suosuo was so angry that he chased Qin Hao and cursed.

Jiang Nansun thought the two were joking around, so he didn't think too much about it, and was still picking fruits with a smile.

For the next few days, Zhu Suosuo basically stayed at Jiang's house, and Qin Hao was driven to the guest room to rest. A man couldn't bear the fact that his wife was being usurped, but with Jiang Nansun protecting her, Qin Hao also I can only take a small notebook and write it down to Zhu Suosuo for the time being. There is always time for her to pay off the debt.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Dai Qian went abroad again. Qin Hao did not show up at the airport to see her off, because today happened to be the day when the Youth Home officially started work. As the boss, Qin Hao naturally had to be in charge of the company.

The employees lined up to enter Qin Hao's office one by one to receive the red envelopes. At this time, Qin Hao really felt the scale of a company with [-] employees, and he was soft on handing out the red envelopes.

The new year is the busiest period for the Youth Home, with a sharp increase in business volume and a growing demand for housing resources. The company's business data has also begun to recover from the Spring Festival cycle.

Qin Hao knew that it was time to start the B round of financing.

But just when Qin Hao was about to officially announce the news of the B-round financing plan, a sudden person disrupted Qin Hao's rhythm.

On this day, Qin Hao had just arrived at the company, and before his butt was warmed up, he received a call from a stranger.

"Hello, is this President Qin from the Youth Home? I'm Li Jun, the director of the Penguin Investment Department. I heard that the Youth Home is going to conduct a B-round financing recently, and we Penguins want to participate too. Can we chat?"

Qin Hao's heart was shocked. There are three things that cannot be escaped when doing the Internet in China: life, death, and penguins.

In 2013, Penguin was already the dominant company in China's Internet industry. The only companies that could compete with Penguin were Ali and Baidu.

Qin Hao thought that Penguin would be interested in the Youth Home. After all, after the 3Q war, Penguin began to change its strategy, from doing everything to buying everything. Anyway, Penguin has plenty of money, and it still holds QQ traffic in its hands. At the entrance, the business of WeChat has also begun to take shape. Under the policy of carrot + chocolate and bigger sticks, it is difficult for Internet companies to resist such a temptation.

"Okay, when is it convenient for Director Li?"

That's right, Qin Hao is no exception. You must know that apart from housing resources, users are currently hindering the development of Youth Home. At present, most of the users of Youth Home are spread through word of mouth among users, and this model is obviously This severely restricted the development of the Youth Home, and made it impossible for the Youth Home to obtain a better valuation.

If Penguin can join in the B round, Qin Hao believes that in the next round of financing, the valuation of the Youth House will at least increase tenfold. This is the main reason why venture capital institutions favor Internet companies. The value does not lie in fixed assets, but users, and future possibilities.

"Is it okay at noon tomorrow?"

"no problem."

After finalizing the time, the other party simply hung up the phone.

Liu Xin's eyes lit up immediately after hearing the word "penguin".

"Penguin is also participating in our B round of financing?"

Qin Hao nodded with a smile: "Don't get too excited, it's just a little bit of a horoscope, calm down, don't let the outside world find out if the negotiation fails, it will affect the valuation of the Youth Home."

I have to admit that this is the fact that Penguin at this time has been able to influence the judgment of major venture capital institutions.

Looking at Qin Hao's calm expression, Liu Xin felt a little emotional for a moment. His boss didn't look like a young man in his 20s. If it was someone else, he would have jumped up a long time ago. It was an olive branch extended by a penguin.

Here, just as Liu Xin left, Qin Hao's cell phone rang again. Looking at the caller ID, it was Zhu Xiaohu calling.

"How is it? Have you received the New Year's surprise?"

Qin Hao was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to his senses: "You found Penguin Investment?"

Zhu Xiaohu said with a smile: "Otherwise, what do you think? I blew you up to the sky on the penguin side. How about it? What do you say over there?"

"Penguin will send someone over tomorrow, let's talk about it first." Qin Hao replied casually.

Zhu Xiaohu laughed aloud: "Okay, you still have to hold your breath, but there is one thing I think you can use."

"WeChat payment?"

"." Zhu Xiaohu was silent for three seconds before uttering two words: "Smart."

Then Zhu Xiaohu hung up the phone.

A few days later, around ten o'clock in the morning, the Penguin staff arrived as scheduled, very punctual.

The leader was Li Jun who had a phone call with Qin Hao yesterday. Qin Hao took Li Jun around the company as usual, but unlike Zhu Xiaohu, he mainly focused on the programming department of the Youth Home.

It is no wonder that Penguin pays most attention to the ability of online business, but whenever a new idea appears, Penguin can process it into its own, not necessarily better than the original version, but definitely on the level.

Of course, Qin Hao is not worried that Penguin will copy a youth home, because the real core competitiveness of the youth home is not online, but offline. Even in 2022, Penguin's offline sales ability can only be used. It's hard to describe in words, Qin Hao is not afraid when the two sides are about to fight.

However, according to Penguin's rich and powerful personality, as long as the other party does not kill the penguin to prevent the penguin from entering the venue, the penguin is more willing to spend money on investment. If it can spend money, why bother to fight and kill, anyway, the penguin does not lack the money.

After the visit, Li Jun followed Qin Hao into the meeting room with the penguin team.

Li Jun exchanged glances with several of his subordinates, and then one of them said to Qin Hao: "President Qin, our Penguin Investment Department is very interested in the Youth Home project, and we hope to participate in this project."

Qin Hao didn't speak, and Liu Xin beside him said with a smile: "Of course, we are currently preparing for the B round of financing."

However, before Liu Xin finished speaking, the other party shook his head and said: "I heard that the share of the B-round financing of the Youth House is only 20%. This share is too small for Penguin's strategic investment. We hope that we can get additional At least 15% of the shares, or, cancel the B round, and Penguin will take over."

Liu Xin was suddenly shocked by the other party's wealth. You know, according to the current valuation of the Youth Home, at least 15 billion or more, 20% is several hundred million, but the other party didn't even bat an eyelid .

Qin Hao shook his head secretly. After all, Liu Xin was still too young, and it was his first time as an executive, so he lacked confidence, so Qin Hao took the initiative to take up the topic.

"I am sorry to say that neither of these two proposals is acceptable."

Li Jun was obviously a little surprised by Qin Hao's answer, and said calmly, "Oh, I think Mr. Qin should know what it means to get the investment from Penguin."

Qin Hao looked at the other party without showing any weakness: "Of course, it means that we will never get any investment from the Ali department again."

Li Jun's heart was shocked, and he looked at Qin Hao suspiciously, thinking: Did Ali contact the Youth Home in advance?
