The rebirth of the wife and children

Based on what she knew about Zhang Yiming, if it wasn't for this reason, Zhang Xiaodi would not be so polite to other shareholders, and insisted on calling them all out to accompany him.

Zhang Yiming nodded non-stop: "That's right, it's the solution proposed by Director Shang. You don't know that Director Shang has very unique insights into the Internet. He proposed a lot of Toutiao's next development strategies for me. I I think we may be able to complete the next step half a year ahead of schedule."

Wang Qiong became interested when she heard this, and she said: "Does that mean that more investment is required, and Toutiao may start the D round of financing again?"

"It should not happen in a short period of time. This time, Shang Dong gave me a very clear suggestion. We don't need to invest too much trial and error funds. This can help us save a lot of costs, so the D round of financing will not be considered for the time being." Zhang Yiming spoke highly of Shang Fuhai's help this time.

This is his recognition of the other party from the technical level.

Even Zhou Shouzi and Zhang Lidong looked at Shang Fuhai in astonishment, wanting to see him through and see why Zhang Yiming valued him so much.

Shang Fuhai was ashamed, Zhang Yiming was exaggerating him.

He thought to himself: "Am I that good? Why didn't I find out?"

Although it is said that the D round of financing is not considered for the time being, but when it comes to this, Wang Qiong, a capital investor, suddenly asked Shang Fuhai with interest: "Shang Dong, based on your views on Toutiao, do you think it will be the next round?" How much should the valuation of financing be more reasonable?"

"Sister Wang, you are embarrassing me. Now I can't even determine the time for the next round of financing. How can I talk about it?" Shang Fuhai was speechless, but he still gave a general opinion: "If the financing is next year If so, I personally think it is more reasonable to double Toutiao’s current valuation.”

Although Toutiao has not yet been listed, it has been heated up by the capital market. The current Toutiao valuation has reached about 70 billion US dollars. What Shang Fuhai said is that he thinks that if Zhang Yiming follows the idea he gave If relevant functions are pushed out, it is more reasonable that Toutiao’s valuation next year should be around US$150 billion.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were attracted, even Han Zhengyu didn't expect his boss's "ambition" to be so big.

You must know that Toutiao just completed its C round of financing last year, and its valuation at that time was only 5 million US dollars. In June of this year, in order to buy the equity of Toutiao from Sina Weibo, Shang Fuhai had to propose The high price of 6 times the valuation, but if this guy is talking now, the valuation of Toutiao next year will be doubled by 3 times?

Chapter 196 I am the fool you said

After the reception banquet in the evening, Shang Fuhai and Han Zhengyu returned to stay in the hotel arranged by Zhang Yiming himself.

Han Zhengyu hesitated for a long time before asking: "Boss, do you really think Toutiao's valuation will reach 150 billion US dollars tomorrow?"

Shang Fuhai said: "Kevin, this is just my personal opinion, and it does not mean that other capital parties agree. It has not yet been listed, and it has no plan to go public in a short time, so what is its final valuation? It needs to be seen whether the buyer and seller's markets can reach a consensus on the transaction."

He gave an example: "It was valued at US$5 million last year, but I reached a consensus with Sina Weibo at a valuation of US$15 billion in the middle of this year, so we recognized its value at that time. !"

It is simple and clear, and besides, Han Zhengyu is a financial capital himself, so he naturally understands this truth.

Shang Fuhai was pestered by Zhang Yiming to ask a lot of questions today, and racked his brains to recall how Toutiao made it and what ideas it used. For Shang Fuhai, it was even more troublesome to recall these ideas. The party ended early, but he was still starting to feel sleepy.

Han Zhengyu also saw this, and he quickly left Shang Fuhai's room.

After taking a bath, Lao Shang was about to fall asleep. He saw that the mobile phone thrown on the bed before taking a bath was buzzing and vibrating, and the body was also moving back and forth slightly on the bed due to the vibration.

He opened it and saw that it was his wife calling, and when he was about to connect, the phone screen suddenly went black again.

Seeing that it was already past 09:30 in the evening, he thought to himself, "Why are you calling when you haven't gone to bed at this time?"

Familiarly typed in the password, swiped open the phone screen, and Shang Fuhai saw four missed calls from his wife, two text messages, and two WeChat video call requests...

Seeing this, Shang Fuhai immediately lost all sleepiness, and quickly sent a WeChat video call invitation.

It was connected in almost seconds, and then the screen was frozen on the screen of Xu Fei wearing a light pink silk pajamas leaning on the backrest. From the video, it can be seen that the surroundings of her eyes are a little red. You still don't sleep, look at your eye circles are red, is there something uncomfortable?"

"Husband, where are you, and you don't answer the phone?" Xu Fei zoomed the video to the maximum, and the whole screen was occupied by the picture of Lao Shang wearing a bath towel, and she couldn't see where it was coming from.

When Shang Fuhai heard this, he thought his wife was going to check the post, so he quickly swiped around the room with his mobile phone, and returned to the starting point: "See clearly? The hotel arranged by the boss Zhang Luxurious suite, more than 1 yuan a night, tsk tsk, I will show you to experience it next time."

"Who is the boss Zhang?" Xu Fei was not thinking about the luxury suite in the hotel at all, she was curious who this person was?Just arrange such a good place for her husband to live?

It was only then that Shang Fuhai remembered that Big Brother Zhang was the name he gave to Zhang Yiming. His wife didn’t know it at all, so he said, “Do you remember today’s headlines? Its founder is Zhang Yiming, and Big Brother Zhang is the nickname I gave him. .”

Speaking of this, Shang Fuhai didn't hide anything at all, and he asked Xu Fei: "Do you still remember that one day in late June, when you came back from work, you asked me if I knew about Toutiao. In the news of the transaction, a mysterious person bought part of Toutiao’s equity from Weibo, spending close to 6 million yuan, and you said that the mysterious person who bought Toutiao’s equity was an idiot, remember?”

Xu Fei hummed and nodded: "Ah, what's the matter?"

In fact, at this time, she already knew from that notebook that her husband was the mysterious person who bought the shares of Toutiao, that is, the fool she called.

What happened today had a great impact on her. Xu Fei's brain froze a bit, so that she hadn't reacted yet, and then her husband continued to say to her: "Honey, there is actually one thing I haven't heard yet." I have time to tell you..."

Hearing this, Xu Fei came to her senses, and then Shang Fuhai's voice continued to come from her ears: "It's a long story, I want to say that I am the fool you said, the 5% of today's headlines on Sina Weibo I just let me buy the equity, believe it or not."

Xu Fei nodded and shook her head.

Shang Fuhai didn't care whether she believed her or not, and then said, "That deal cost me close to 5 million yuan. At that time, the amount was huge, and I didn't even have the money in my hand, so I found someone else to sell it. A part of Haifei Catering's shares borrowed more than 1 million yuan, and I was always afraid that you would worry, so I didn't tell you about it."

"Then I came out this time because Zhang Yiming, the boss of Toutiao, called me and said that the development of Toutiao had encountered a technical bottleneck. He asked me to come over and give him an idea. After finishing our work, we had dinner together at night. How about a meal? There are several big bosses eating with us, and I will tell you about it when I get back. Here, this is the room he prepared for me, isn't it very luxurious. "

"..." Xu Fei listened silently, but her heart was in a mess again.

Seeing that she was silent, Shang Fuhai thought the girl was angry, so he said: "You won't be angry with me, let me tell you, don't look at the fact that I bought these shares at the time, selling shares and borrowing money It took a lot, but now we have earned three times in less than three months, more than a billion, are you kidding? It takes years and months to open a restaurant to make money. Let me tell you, wait until later Take out the money, and I will deposit 10 billion in your card, and you will surely become the richest female tycoon in Bo City..."

"Shang Fuhai, am I incompetent!" Xu Fei said suddenly.

This time, Shang Fuhai was caught off guard, and he started calling his name directly, which is still angry.

"What are you talking about, wife, don't think nonsense, let me tell you, you are so capable, I can't compare to you." Shang Fuhai directly praised it, and even shamelessly rubbed himself on the ground a handful.

Xu Fei didn't listen, she didn't even have a smile on her face, she asked again: "Don't just talk nicely, tell me, how can you not compare to me, why I don't know, you tell me and let me listen."

"I really want to say it." Shang Fuhai looked embarrassed.

Xu Fei stared directly: "Shang Fuhai, do you want to tell me or not, or I'll die."

"All right, all right, let me just say it." Shang Fuhai nodded hastily, he bit his lip and tried a few times, and suddenly said: "Wife, don't talk about other things, just talk about giving birth. I can't compare to you in my whole life!"

"..." Xu Fei's eyes were wide open, and her ears were pricked up to listen carefully. She really wanted to know how she was better than Shang Fuhai, but she didn't expect him to say this.

"Ah..." Xu Fei was so angry that her lungs exploded, and she was no longer angry. The depression in her heart was swept away, and she gritted her teeth like crazy and shouted: "Shang Fuhai, you shameless, this time It's best to die outside and don't come back, if you come back to see, I won't bite you to death bastard!"

"I'm pissed off, you're really going to piss me off." Xu Fei jumped up from the bed angrily, furious.

Chapter 197 Growing Up in Hesitation and Helplessness

Shang Fuhai's ability to make jokes was invincible, and his wife was freed from extreme self-doubt and hesitation with just one sentence.

The moment he got through the video call just now, Lao Shang noticed that his wife's expression was different. He was not around, so he didn't know what happened to Xu Fei, so he simply thought of a way to divert her wife's attention.

No matter how he guessed, he never thought that the notebook he had inadvertently summarized the assets under his name at that time exposed many "secrets" that he hadn't had time to tell Xu Fei, and Xu Fei had bad associations from these "secrets". I have been immersed in self-doubt and helpless self-blame.

Shang Fuhai didn't deliberately confess the "secret" of Toutiao to his wife tonight, mainly because Zhang Yiming was mentioned just now, and then he said it out of the way.

Or tell a lie?Then use another lie to Madoka?

Is that necessary? He didn't fool around looking for women anymore, so he didn't feel guilty.

Today, more than two months have passed, and part of the equity of Jinri Toutiao, which was called a "sky-high price transaction" at the beginning, has now become a complete past tense. Today's Jinri Toutiao has truly become a "sky-high price". The latest valuation is more than 70 billion U.S. dollars, and the 5.00% of his income is also worth close to 4 million U.S. dollars, which is more than 25 billion yuan when converted into RMB.

He believes that telling his wife about this transaction that has been kept secret at this time, there is no need to worry that she will be afraid because of the 'huge debt'.

You let an ordinary person suddenly accept several hundred million in debt, who can bear it?

"Is there anything else? Is there anything else you haven't told me?" Xu Fei, who had calmed down, had already let go of most of her heart.

After listening to Shang Fuhai finish this 'secret', she understood what her mother said to her this afternoon.

Her husband is still the same person, and he has no 'secret' to her, just because she is afraid that she will be worried and that she will not be able to bear it, so he has been thinking about her.

Shang Fuhai pursed his lips: "What else can I have? I bought a piece of land in my hometown, Dongyun, and I am building a food factory. The rest is gone for now."

"By the way, I had a great chat with Zhang, the boss of Toutiao this time. I borrowed a few people from him. I plan to build an online platform for convenience stores in a few days. If you don't understand, you can think about it. Cheng Jingdong online shopping mall, our convenience store is similar to its warehouses scattered all over the country, but the meaning is not exactly the same. If it is closer, by the way, Darun discovered that it is running a website called "Feiniu.com" online platform, but now it seems to me that it has gone astray, it has become the model of Jingdong, Handan is learning to walk..."

"Is there any more?" Xu Fei continued to ask.

Shang Fuhai scratched his head: "By the way, there is a real thing. I pledged Toutiao's equity, and his grandma's pledge was early, so he only cashed out 20 billion yuan. If you add interest, it will be less than 23 billion yuan." Well, tonight we were talking about Toutiao’s valuation, if I pledge now, I can get 25 billion.”

Afraid that Xu Fei wanted to see this huge amount of wealth right now, he said: "But I am using this money now, and it has been moved overseas to invest in Weibo shares. I can't give it to you in a short time, but don't worry. , At most two years, when the time comes, the investment will be fully recovered, including the profit, and if you are lucky, the cost may be recovered in about half a year."

As he was talking, Shang Fuhai's voice suddenly rose: "Honey, by then, our family will be the richest man in Bo City with stable cash flow, believe it or not!"

"Just brag, it's fine if you lose your butt." Xu Fei curled her lips, but she was actually secretly happy.

After being 'questioned' by her, Shang Fuhai basically knew everything recorded in the notebook, and he really didn't want to hide it from her.

At the same time, after Shang Fuhai's lecture, Xu Fei also understood what the last note in his notebook, "I owe 23 billion", meant.

Speaking of it, it is calculated that his husband will not be able to pay this sum of money by then, but at most the equity of Toutiao will be confiscated by the debtor. Toutiao's current valuation has exceeded the pledge amount, so there is no such thing as their family owed a huge amount. The fact of the debt, on the contrary, is because of this "sky-high price equity" transaction at the beginning, as her husband said, their family became "the richest man in Bo City", which seems to be the case on the books.

After thinking through this in her heart, Xu Fei's brain began to come alive again, and her eyesight returned. She saw Shang Fuhai rubbing her eyes all the time, is she tired?

"You are tired, go to rest early, don't be so busy tomorrow." Xu Fei told him.

The couple cared for each other a few more words, and Xu Fei took the initiative to hang up the video call.

This night, because Shang Fuhai was too tired, and the bed in the luxurious suite was really comfortable, he slept very soundly, and he didn't even have a dream. When he woke up, it was past eight o'clock in the morning.

He was woken up by Han Zhengyu knocking on the door.

That night, Xu Fei suffered from insomnia completely. For a while, she thought about her husband's inadvertently tossing down such a huge family business in just one year, and for a while, she thought about her husband saying that their family may become "Bo City" in the near future. The richest man', by then, she will be the 'wife of the richest man', right?

Thinking of this title, Xu Fei felt beautiful in her heart, her cerebral cortex was always active with excitement, and she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

The change in her is palpable.

Although there were dark circles under her eyes when she yawned and went downstairs in the morning, Mrs. Jiang still noticed that the worry on her daughter's eyebrows had dissipated.

"So you've figured it out?" Mrs. Jiang frowned: "I really can't pretend, and I'm still that heartless."

Apparently, Mrs. Jiang was thinking badly. During the meal, Xu Fei ate slowly. She didn't have to go to work today. Just yesterday afternoon, she called Meng Xingwen to ask for leave...

The angry Meng Xingwen can jump violently.

"My daughter, how are you?" Jiang Chunhua cared about her daughter.

Xu Fei is in a beautiful mood now, very good.

She chuckled: "Mom, I really let you talk. Just last night, Fu Hai told me almost all the things recorded in that notebook."

"You, let me tell you what's good about you." Mrs. Jiang shook her head helplessly. The daughter will not grow up.

Xu Fei continued: "Mom, Fu Hai is going to the capital this time. He had dinner with the boss of Toutiao yesterday. Fu Hai is amazing."

She is honored.

"No matter how powerful it is, it's Fu Hai's ability. Why are you so proud of yourself?" Jiang Chunhua couldn't see it anymore. Her daughter was so heartless. Those words yesterday seemed to be a waste of spit.

Following her, she heard her daughter say: "Mom, I understand what you said yesterday. I will also plan carefully what to do next. Don't worry, I will never do that again."

Chapter 198

In Beijing, in a small meeting room in the AVIC Building of Toutiao’s headquarters, Shang Fuhai met five technicians selected for him by the boss Zhang.

Several people are tall, short, fat and thin, and there is a guy with pigtails and a headscarf. From time to time, his hands are pressed in the air, and his fingers are kept moving up and down, as if he is imitating playing the piano. But Shang Fuhai saw Finally, I am more willing to believe that he is simulating typing on the keyboard!

"Good guy, the boss Zhang actually gave me a problem." Shang Fuhai complained in his heart.

On the table in front of him were the resumes of five people. If he hadn't read the resumes of five people, Shang Fuhai would really suspect that Zhang Yiming threw them over for him to make up the number.

"Nankai University majoring in software engineering, Lin Zixiang, Huang Guanghui"

"Zhang Shuo, a graduate student of software engineering at Beijing University of Science and Technology"

"Gao Lu, Cao Renhu, majoring in computer science and technology, Renmin University of China"

Looking at these subjects and graduate schools, they are all outstanding students. From the perspective of graduate schools alone, they have directly dumped him by more than a few highways!

"You all sit down." After Shang Fuhai signaled the five standing people in front of him to sit down, he said: "Let me tell you, Mr. Zhang, we will work together in the next six months. I need everyone." Help me solve two problems. You can choose to return to Toutiao after the work is over, or you can choose to stay and continue to work with me, but you can rest assured that no matter what choice you make in the end, I will not let you give it to me in vain. I help, in addition to the income and benefits you deserve will be given to you in the same way as Toutiao, I will also give you a lot of bonuses after the completion of the project depending on the completion of the project."

Lin Zixiang was the young man with pigtails who looked the most evasive, and he asked directly: "Mr. Shang, are you also a shareholder of our company?"

"That's right, Zhang Dong didn't tell you. I now hold 5% of the shares of Toutiao. Speaking of which, we are considered a family, right." Shang Fuhai told them directly without hiding anything.

Next, he needs these five people to go all out to help him complete the two projects, instead of just building a supporting online platform for one-kilometer convenience stores as he told Zhang Yiming.

In addition to this supporting online platform, he made up his mind to make a 'Paike short video'.

Even for this reason, he has a development strategy and publicity plan for "Paike Short Video".

Originally, when he came to Beijing this time, one of the trump cards in his last stand was the idea of ​​"Pai Ke", which is the "Tik Tok" project of Toutiao. Who knows that after he came, he discovered the purpose of Zhang Yiming's call and what they guessed. It was not the same thing at all, so Lao Shang directly continued to hide this trump card.

If I remember correctly, it will take more than a year for Douyin to be released, but what Lao Shang has to do now is to make its imitation version more than a year in advance, and when it becomes bigger and stronger, who It can be said that Paikeke is plagiarized, not genuine!

Or he could just use the name 'Douyin', nothing wrong with that.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, Shang Fuhai looked at the five people, and asked, "Which skills are you all good at?"

"Mr. Shang, Cao Renhu and I followed Mr. Liang to build the video site structure. Huang Guanghui, Zhang Shuo, and Gao Lu have more advantages in the platform." Lin Zixiang pointed out.
