The rebirth of the wife and children

Shang Fuhai did remember a few people, for example, Meng Xingwen, this is the person her wife has mentioned repeatedly, and his wife's immediate boss.

For example, there is a man with a bright forehead next to Meng Xingwen. According to the introduction, he is Meng Xingwen's husband, Liang Haitao.Another example is the lively single girl Ning Lingling, a cute and lively little girl is always easy to make people like.

After all, Li Yueyue still didn't call the 'friend' she just met, which disappointed Meng Xingwen, who was from her mother's family, and her insight into people was useless.

Ning Lingling and Li Yueyue had already paid the payment early, got the entrance consumption coupons, and reserved a semi-isolated box table for 18 people. Started walking away.

The waiters who passed by along the way saw that their boss and the proprietress were following this wave of people, and each of them resisted not to look at them, for fear that one who couldn't help it would be exposed, but Manager Lai said that if anyone missed If you fall into a trap, this month's bonus will be gone, and the bonus will be deducted. That's almost 1000 yuan!

Chapter 111 Is there a big deal?

Ning Lingling and Li Yueyue were quite moral, they didn't really have a full meal in advance.

But after everyone settled down in their seats, Ning Lingling couldn't bear it any longer and bluffed and threatened to try some Haagen-Dazs first. It's really hot as hell at the end of May.

Liang Haitao is obviously an old man, he muttered: "Is there any oysters, a man's necessities, I have to go and see, if there are no oysters, it will be a big loss..."

"..." Shang Fuhai saw the black line on his forehead, and he subconsciously looked at Meng Xingwen, good guy, can't you get enough food even if your forehead is bald?

Several other men also had expressions that we all understood, which made Meng Xingwen blush, but how could a middle-aged female boss in her 30s deserve her reputation? Obediently went out to search for food.

Li Yueyue had to bring back 6 small stacks of salmon on a large tray, and she yelled: "Salmon is really delicious, but there are too few stacks. It would be great if I could get a plate at once, and save me running too much." A few times."

After Xu Fei heard it, she subconsciously looked at Shang Fuhai. Old Shang shook his head directly. That's impossible. My wife, it's useless to look at you. Salmon is so expensive. If you open up the supply, what will your husband earn? money!

They were busy here. After Lai Mingyuan knew that the proprietress and her party had entered the chassis, he privately found a few cleaning ladies: "You guys will go to that area for a while and see that there are empty trays on the table. , Clean up the leftover garbage as soon as possible, don't let Sister Fei be dissatisfied!"

Several aunt-level cleaners nodded fiercely, he was worried, and shouted again: "If something goes wrong, I will deduct your bonus for this month."

Good guy, how can this work? Before he could continue to give orders, an aunt pushed the plate garbage collection truck over there.

Taking advantage of Shang Fuhai also going out to search for food, Meng Xingwen went to Xu Fei's side, raised his eyebrows and said, "Feifei, I really can't tell, your husband is handsome and has a good temperament, what kind of work does he do?" .”

"Hey, let's be busy, do whatever you want to earn money, I don't know the details, I haven't asked much, just take the money home for me when the time comes." Xu Fei looked grand.

She can't say, Sister Meng, the place where we eat now is my husband's public.

Meng Xingwen thought about it, and it really was the same reason. When a man is outside, you don't care what he does. As long as he doesn't break the law and discipline, it's over when he gets the money back. Why are you being so lenient?

She involuntarily glanced at the seat of her husband next to her.

She is a strong woman who is the manager of the personnel department, and her character unconsciously shows a bit of strength and domineering. Occasionally, when her husband does this or that, she always dislikes her, and the couple quarrels quite a lot. In the end, her husband was unwilling to go home, and came back very late every day.

If he hadn't known that he wasn't the kind of person who messed around outside, Meng Xingwen would have abolished him.

But Xu Fei's words today were like a slap in the face, which cleared up her chaotic heart a lot.

Involuntarily, Meng Xingwen paid more attention to Xu Fei.

"Feifei, let's go, let's go and see what you want to eat, and get more." Meng Xingwen tugged on Xu Fei's arm, looking very affectionate.

Wang Qianyu is a big foodie, he loves all kinds of meat, and what he brings back is basically barbecue, or steak sauce bone, anyway, other people look tired, he eats very sweet, and he is enthusiastic to bring back the big pieces Beef bones are shared with others, each willing to take over.

"Brother Wang has a strong taste," Old Shang teased him.

Wang Qianyu curled his lips: "Brother Hai, don't say anything, let's eat a piece of fresh big sauce bone."

Shang Fuhai shook his head directly: "You can eat by yourself. I have had a lot of wine in the past two days, and my stomach is not good after drinking. I will eat some light gastric lavage first."

"Hey!" Wang Qianyu shook his head: "Brother Hai is not lucky either."

"En, um." Shang Fuhai nodded hastily.

I don't know when, the two songs "We Are Different" and "Heart Thief" were played on a loop again in the restaurant. Although they became phenomenal and popular songs at the beginning, half a year later, these two songs are still there On the list, but can no longer continue to dominate the top list.

These days, there are too many talented musicians, Zhuang Ni's "Love Is Gone", Wang Sulong's "Annual Rings", Li Jian's "If Love Has God's Will", Liu Keyi's "Kite Mistake" and so on. Many, almost dominated for a period of time, because Xu Jinxu, who became popular because of these two songs, started to retreat and study again.

Later, he wanted to ask Shang Fuhai for another new song, but old comrade Shang told him that he had no inspiration for the time being, and there was no stock in his hand, so Xu Jinxu gave up.

Ning Lingling is a fan of "Heart Thief". When listening to the song she likes, her beautiful little eyes are narrowed, she shakes her little head slightly, and the ponytail on the back of her head flicks and flicks. cute.

"Stealer is so good, and I, Xu, sing too well, love!" Ning Lingling has a tendency to become a brain-dead fan.

Wang Qianyu suddenly said: "I remember that this song was said on the Internet, it seems that it was sung when Haifei Cafeteria Jicheng branch opened, isn't it?"

"That's right, Haifei's restaurant is really good, and all the branches have opened in the provincial capitals, so they're making a lot of money." His wife followed suit.

Shang Fuhai kept holding back his wretched smile, he liked to hear others praise him behind his back.

Praise me again, praise me hard, praise me quickly!

Liang Haitao touched the top of his bald and covered head habitually, and he said: "I remember that these two songs were sung by Xu Jinxu from the Tiger Downhill band in Bocheng. Speaking of which, I heard the old way of the band These two songs were written by the owner of Haifei Cafeteria... Huh"

Speaking of this, he suddenly snorted softly: "Brother Hai, I didn't notice just now, your name is the same as the owner of this restaurant, tsk tsk, oops, oops!"

Shang Fuhai didn't even blink his eyes: "Brother Tao, tell the truth, I really don't know that the owner of this store has the same name as me, let alone open a branch store, it would be great if I have such a store, I will be at home every day Lie down and sleep."

"Promise!" Xu Fei scolded angrily.

Shang Fuhai was pretending to be stupid, and Liang Haitao looked at him meaningfully: "So, brother Hai, work hard!"

While talking, another cleaning lady who cleaned up the plates and leftover food came over with a cart and asked them if they had anything to deal with. The service was good and nothing to say.

After giving her a few empty plates and leaving, several people started to discuss.

"Did you find out? Haifei's self-service service is really good. There's nothing to say. I'll come to clean up the garbage for us in a while."

"That's up to you to say, there is a reason why people are expensive!"

"But when I went out just now, I saw that some tables were full of empty plates, and the waiters they called now cleared them up."

"Really or not, does the store also know that Sister Meng is a boss?"

"..."

Shang Fuhai put his hand on his forehead, damn it!Lai Mingyuan, look at what you've done, it's really incompetent.

When he was complaining and complaining about Lai Mingyuan in his heart, the phone rang suddenly, and when he saw that it was Han Zhengyu, he picked it up without any hassle.

"Boss, where are you, I have a big business here, you can see if you can do it"

"..."

Chapter 112

Liang Haitao has no obvious advantages, but he has two advantages that he can be proud of. One is that he has a good brain, and he can remember most of the interesting news.

The other is that his ears are good, even if the environment he is in is chaotic, he can still hear some very low voices.

The first advantage is nothing more than a better memory.But he didn't tell anyone about the second advantage. This thing is suspected of eavesdropping, and it's taboo to say it out.

So, without Shang Fuhai knowing, Liang Haitao and him were sitting a distance away from Meng Xingwen, and he heard something he shouldn't have heard.

Then my eyes widened!

"Nimma! It's okay to pretend." He vomited wildly in his heart.

Shang Fuhai didn't know that he had exposed his secrets, and the surrounding environment was too chaotic, so he couldn't hear clearly, so he accused everyone: "Everyone, eat first, I'll go out to answer the phone."

After saying this, Shang Fuhai stood up and walked out.

Answering a phone call was perfectly normal, except for Liang Haitao, no one else suspected anything.

Liang Haitao also stood up: "Eat first, I'll go out and get a few plates of oysters, not to mention, the oysters in this shop are really fresh."

He walked out in a hurry, and saw Shang Fuhai going out of the restaurant on the phone all the way, and when he wanted to follow up to have a look, he saw Shang Fuhai pass through the crowded crowd through the transparent glass wall, and went all the way to the open space in the south place to go.

"..."

Liang Haitao stopped in his steps to go out: "I'm really stuck, I just answer the phone, no matter what their status is, what's in the way of me, alas!"

He went to get oysters.

Shang Fuhai walked all the way to the no-man’s land at the south end of the restaurant. There were few people around and there was no noise. He asked, “Kevin, what big business did you just say? once."

"Boss, do you know Sina? Do you know Toutiao?" Han Zhengyu suppressed the excitement in his chest, and said in a calm tone as much as possible.

Of course Shang Fuhai knew, he asked: "You mean the Sina that drove the founder away? What happened to it and Toutiao?"

Lao Shang still knew such a rumor from the Internet, and he didn't know whether it was true or not.

According to the information on the Internet, in the second year after Sina’s NASDAQ listing, the five shareholders of Sina jointly launched an attack on the board of directors, announcing the dismissal of the founder Lao Wang from all positions in Sina, and declared Lao Wang resigned due to personal reasons!

Of course, Lao Wang quit. He also held a press conference afterwards, otherwise he dismissed the rumors of his resignation, and questioned the legitimacy of the decision of Sina’s board of directors. In the end, he seemed to sue Sina, which he founded, and then In a rage, he founded Click Technology in the same year.

Today Lao Wang is still the godfather of the IT industry, but when it comes to Sina, he has nothing to do with him.

Han Zhengyu also knew about this rumor, and he knew no more details than Shang Fuhai, so he said, "Boss, you should also know about Toutiao."

Shang Fuhai installed the Toutiao APP on his mobile phone. How could he not know? Not only did he know Toutiao, he even knew that Douyin, which became popular a few years later, was dominated by Toutiao. Or in other words, they belonged to the same company. A company called "Jingcheng ByteDance Technology Co., Ltd.", he even knew that the market valuation of this Beijing ByteDance Technology once surpassed Baidu before its IPO...

Yes, but he still doesn't know what is the relationship between these two shattered companies?

"Kevin, tell me the key points, I have other things here." Shang Fuhai was anxious, his wife and the others were still waiting in the restaurant, and he couldn't stay outside for too long. .

Han Zhengyu stopped playing charades and continued: "Boss, just last year, Toutiao raised its C round of financing. This round of financing was led by Sequoia Capital and followed by Sina Weibo. At that time, Toutiao was valued at 5 million. , raised $1 million.”

He paused for a while, and after Shang Fuhai digested this wave of information, he continued: "But because Sina Weibo was not optimistic about Toutiao at the time, it felt that VC's asking price was too expensive and ruthless. In addition, Sina, as a Nasdaq company, Listed companies, they felt that Jinri Toutiao, a company with only a few dozen employees at the time, was too small to make a big deal, so in this round of financing, Sina only invested 2500 million U.S. dollars, and asked for 5% of Jinri Toutiao. shares."

"Then what?" Shang Fuhai asked him.

"Just from last year to the beginning of this year, Tencent announced the integration of the Tencent.com and Tencent Weibo teams to withdraw from the Weibo field. Netease Weibo also announced the closure of the Weibo page at the end of last year. With the two major competitions With the withdrawal of competitors, Sina Weibo released the 140-character posting limit earlier this year, and the number of active users of Weibo increased from 2700 million to 3.4 million in the first quarter. Sina Weibo has risen again, but their It was discovered that many of their Weibo businesses overlapped with Toutiao, and there was a direct competition..."

There was a hazy idea in Shang Fuhai's head, but this idea was like a naughty child, and Shang Fuhai couldn't grasp it for a while, and he didn't urge Han Zhengyu to hurry up and say it right now, and he even forgot In order to go back to participate in his wife's department dinner, he even asked urgently: "Go on, Kevin, what happened next?"

He seemed to have a premonition of something.

Han Zhengyu also became excited. If it succeeds, this will be his first real investment after resigning from China Securities Investment. Find the next one, they want to sell 5% of Toutiao shares in their hands..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shang Fuhai who was also excited when he heard the news: "Kevin, is the news true? How do you know? How much is Sina's price? Has it found a home?"

He was so excited, the blood all over his body began to rush to his head, and he felt a little dizzy. He was afraid of hearing bad news from Han Zhengyu, and he began to worry about gains and losses.

"Boss, Sina hasn't found a new home yet. As I said just now, Sina Weibo has a direct conflict with Toutiao's business. At this juncture, Sina Weibo is still unwilling to sell shares in Toutiao at a low price. Toutiao’s valuation has quadrupled, and it plans to sell 20% of its shares at a valuation of US$5 billion. However, due to the existence of a mature behemoth like Sina Weibo, no one is willing to take over at this price at this stage, even if it is Sequoia Capital, which led the investment at the beginning, or Heiner Asia, which led the investment before, are unwilling to take over at the latest valuation of 4 times."

"Not accepted? How much is their valuation?"

"Heiner Asia is willing to take over at 2.5 times last year's valuation, and Sequoia Capital can only accept 2 times last year's valuation, so they all think that Sina Weibo's valuation is too high, let alone Sina Weibo's next and today's Toutiao must have a war to fight. At this juncture, no one is willing to be taken advantage of.” Han Zhengyu sighed, and he emphasized again: “But, boss, what I want to tell you is that this share is worth fighting for. Trust me, boss!"

Chapter 113 How to Raise Money

Han Zhengyu's almost roaring cry echoed on the phone, and Shang Fuhai had slowly calmed down. He asked in a deep voice, "Kevin, calm down first. I want to know where you got this news from?"

Han Zhengyu forced himself to calm down. He knew whether or not to fight for this share, and how to fight for it, would require Shang Fuhai to nod. If Shang Fuhai didn't figure out the ins and outs, he would definitely not take action to do that 'taken advantage'. None of them are fools, let alone Shang Fuhai has been mixed all the way to where he is today.

"Boss, I got this news from a former friend in the investment circle. Speaking of which, it is also a coincidence. She worked for Sequoia Capital before. Boss, you don't want me to form an investment team. I contacted her, and when we were chatting, she told me about this matter, and I will tell the boss as soon as I know about it, whether or not we want to fight for this part of the shares, and how to fight, still needs to be decided by the boss." Han Zhengyu explained it again.

"Is that so!" Shang Fuhai put down half of the hanging Xin, he walked back and forth, his footsteps were fast and slow, showing that his heart was not peaceful.

Finally, he stomped heavily: "Kevin, I want you to find a way to talk to the person in charge of this matter at Sina Weibo right now, and tell him that I expect to win this part at more than 3 times the valuation Shares, can you do it?"

"Boss, no problem. I'll leave overnight. If I can't do it, I will resign automatically." Han Zhengyu directly issued a military order.

Just when Shang Fuhai was about to say that it was unnecessary, Han Zhengyu asked him again: "Boss, my friend has left Sequoia Capital now, and she knows something about this matter, can I invite her to participate in this event together?" acquisition of shares."

"As long as you can guarantee that your friend has no problems, I will allow you to do special things." Shang Fuhai was also decisive and couldn't care less.

Even if his friend has problems, it doesn't matter. The most important issue now is to try every means to get the 5% of the shares. Don't underestimate that it is only 5% now, even if there may be several rounds of financing in the future , if he does not follow suit at that time, the 5% of the shares will continue to be diluted, but Shang Fuhai keeps in mind that Toutiao's valuation will exceed Baidu's in the near future, which is a few hundred With a huge capital of 1 million US dollars, even if Shang Fuhai only retains [-]% of the shares in his hands, it will be a report of hundreds of millions of US dollars.

However, how is this possible? Even if the 5% cannot be kept in the end, Shang Fuhai will try his best to ensure that he has enough shares. Every bit of it now will be delicious Franklin in the near future.

After hanging up the phone, Shang Fuhai began to calculate all the funds at hand.

"Even if its best case is based on 3 times the valuation, this is a valuation of 15 billion US dollars, and 5% of the shares are 7500 million US dollars, which is equivalent to RMB 4 million, which is close to 7000 million!" Shang Fuhai said As soon as he calculated it, he was immediately confused. He just thought about getting this part of the shares first, but his brain was overheated, and he forgot to calculate how much this part of the shares was worth.

Even if he was skinned and sold, he still couldn't afford so much money now.

"How much money do I have now? How much money do I have now?" Shang Fuhai was in a hurry. He thought carefully: "I cashed out 1 million when I cleared LeTV last time, but I spent 2300 million to buy a house and paid 2500 million to Kevin. If Western Securities is sold, I can almost get back 6000 million, so the cash flow in my hands is 1 million, and Hai Fei's account..."

Shang Fuhai's hands began to tremble. He was anxious to know how much money was in the catering company's account. He hadn't looked at it for a long time. The store has only been open for 2 months. Even if he has never touched the money in the company account, no matter how much the money is, he can still calculate it. It will definitely not exceed 1 million, or even half it, 5000 Is there anything?

Thinking of this result, Shang Fuhai felt that he was about to suffocate.

It was only 2 million yuan when the real estate was fully counted, and it was still 5 million yuan short of the ideal purchase price of nearly 3 million yuan!

"Where am I going to get this sum of money?" Shang Fuhai raised his neck and looked at the ceiling on the fourth floor. He didn't think much of it before, but now he suddenly felt that it was so short that he felt that his breathing was depressed. The whole person was suffocated as if being submerged in water.
