【.】

Celebrities never lack for topics.

The same goes for fashion week, which sets a stage for stars to showcase themselves.

When Xiang Yang was busy traveling to various shows within a week or so, various reports appeared in the Chinese media every day.

"It's all about Fan Xiaopang!"

Looking through the reports from various domestic media, Su Chang, who also participated in the fashion week and attended several luxury brand shows with Zhang Liangying, became a little angry.

That set of clothes, that one show, has been showing off for a week

There are all kinds of "yen pressure" announcements every day.

People who don't know, think that Fan Xiaopang has been to all the shows.

"Isn't this normal?" Hearing Su Chang's dissatisfaction, Zhang Liangying just pursed her lips.

"Where is normal?"

"What's wrong?"

Su Chang was stunned and quickly understood what his friend meant.

It seems that is the case.

It's not unusual for celebrities to pay off their drafts.

When participating in some large and important events, it is common to spend your own money.

Stars like Paris Fashion Week who are directly invited by the brand don't have to worry about general clothing. Brand spokespersons can get corresponding clothes according to the level of endorsement.

Even makeup and travel expenses are borne by the brand.

But if you are not a brand spokesperson.

Then it depends on your ability.

People like Fan Xiaopang are not brand ambassadors, but are just invited to participate in the fashion week. They usually only have off-season collections and business trips.

In addition to these, the brand will not bear the expenses incurred by makeup or photography, they are all paid by the stars themselves.

As for this, it is similar to 'Fan Pai'.

Fans will love it.

Because it feels more real and intimate.

"It's great that we can participate. If it weren't for Brother Yang and Xixi, we wouldn't have such a good opportunity to experience it."

As Zhang Liangying said this, she put the various harvests she bought in Paris from the cabinet one by one into the suitcase.

Although he also spent money, he didn't spend as much as Fan Xiaopang.

It is perfectly normal for someone to be "sexy" on a press release.

This is not because she is pretending to be open-minded, but because she has had the most profound experience after taking such a break since the Spring Festival.

This experience, in Xiang Yang’s words: Paris Fashion Week is more dangerous at night

In Littlejohn's words: Who the hell stole my poor devil's wallet right before Fashion Week?

Zhang Liangying wanted to laugh when she thought of Little John complaining about hoping that the thief would take care of this wallet that had no cash.

Perhaps because they know Paris so well and are so accustomed to fashion week, their focus will not be on places like the Palace of Versailles, the Louvre, Notre-Dame Basilica, etc. that are full of tourists.

But the reality of life.

She thought so.

"If I have a chance next time, it would be great to go and see Milan Fashion Week."

Thinking about it carefully, I feel a little regretful about this vacation.

"Hey, that's not true." Su Chang's tone was also quite regretful: "I heard from Sissi that the experience of fashion week in Milan and Paris is different, but I have to try my best to get the invitation letter by myself."

"Oh, I guess Brother Yang will be so happy when he hears you say this. Haha."

"He."

In a sense, Fashion Week was originally a holiday for Xiangyang and Little John.

But this week has been nothing short of painful.

But it’s not all about fashion week.

On the Ordos side, Wang Zhen rushed back to China after getting the schematic diagram of the patented fabric that Xiangyang had applied for. After organizing a dedicated team to study it carefully, he said that the fabric Xiangyang needed could be specially produced in Ordos.

They are also willing to pay Xiangyang a licensing fee during the production process.

In addition, the fabrics they brought also passed the test.

Specific garment testing will also begin in the near future, and then adjustments and evaluations will be made.

However, fleece, polar fleece and the like do not meet the standards. The gap between this type of chemical fiber fabrics is still obvious due to patent and process issues.

In addition to fabrics, there is another thing that makes Xiangyang painful: Uber’s situation.

Fortunately, with Musk's narration, Little John finally understood why Xiang Yang was obsessed with investing.

This is a money grab!

Just like Xiangyang and Musk each invested 50 euros, a total of 100 million euros, and obtained 40% of the shares (the real figure is 125 million US dollars, 37% of the shares), which immediately brought the company's valuation to 250 million euros, less than 300 million US dollars.

And if there is a next round of financing, as long as it is not a 'bleeding financing', it is impossible for the two of them to lose money.

The so-called bleeding financing means that the price at which investors purchase company stocks in the current round of financing is lower than the transaction price paid by investors in the previous round of financing.

In layman's terms, this means that the current round of financing values ​​the company at a lower value than its previous valuation.

For example, if Little John now raises 100 million euros for 10% of the shares, Uber's valuation will reach 1000 million euros.

The 20% shares Xiangyang gets will be worth 200 million euros.

And if Little John only spent 10 euros to get 10% of Uber's shares.

Then Xiangyang said, don't come over and cause trouble!

Otherwise, I'm in a hurry!

When investing in technology companies, it is important whether each round of financing is a 'bleeding round', as is the importance of anti-dilution clauses.

Commonly used anti-dilution protection clauses are the generalized weighted average method and the complete ratchet method.

Xiangyang and Musk chose the broad weighted average anti-dilution protection clause.

Of the two types of anti-dilution protection provisions, the latter is the more common.

In each round of financing, it is normal for the proportion of shares held to decrease as more and more people take over the investment.

But as long as there is no 'bleeding financing', every influx of new players will allow the first players to invest to get huge returns.

Anyway, Xiangyang persuaded Little John to buy some together.

But as the old saying goes, good words can never persuade a damn devil.

Even if this guy understood, he was not moved at all.

Even Musk tried to persuade him for a long time, saying that this kind of investment would guarantee no loss with the entry of Tesla, but Little John still said that he would not believe in this kind of bubble where the money comes in too fast.

How can there be such a reason to pick up money for nothing?

"Little John, you really got this money for free."

<divclass="contentadv">Xiang Yang also recently reflected on his dismissive attitude towards his friends, and was still trying to persuade his friends before flying back to Paris.

"Xiang, I'm different from you."

After sending his friend to the airport, Little John hugged him and patted Xiang Yang on the back.

"If you make money, I will be happy for you. If you really feel that I missed the opportunity to make a fortune, you can give me a Maserati, which is more practical for me."

"Hey, no, don't leave!"

“You forgot your luggage”

Seeing Xiang Yang return to pick up the luggage, Little John's mouth was full of teasing, "I knew you were going to cheat me of my hard-earned money!"

"I'm really convinced by you." Xiang Yang couldn't help but rolled his eyes, then stretched out his fist to hit Little John's shoulder, "Tell me, what color do you want."

A Maserati of the same series costs more than 30 euros, which is still affordable as a gift.

At any rate, Uber was willing to accept this angel round investment for the sake of Tesla.

As for Musk

What cannot be denied is that Xiang Yang also feels that if he proposes to Musk, he will agree.

But after all, it was Little John who came up with this suggestion first.

In the next 12 months, Uber will conduct the next round of financing before spending this financing as planned, and then huge returns will begin to appear.

Xiang Yang thought it would be better to comfort Little John.

Although it is certain that he will cry, at least with this car, Little John can only blame himself.

This is completely different from the situation when investing in WhatsApp.

WhatsApp’s operating model means that it does not need to spend as much money as Uber.

Moreover, the two founders are as stingy as Little John.

The strategy adopted by WhatsApp allows it to maintain sustainable operations by relying on its own revenue to achieve its ultimate main goal-growth, organic growth.

They are even now cautiously expanding their operations team.

With the money Xiangyang invested in them, apart from purchasing necessary equipment, they only hired some part-time workers.

In this regard, Xiang Yang said you should play it by yourself.

Just remember to call me when selling.

"You really buy it for me?" Little John couldn't believe that Xiangyang would suddenly become so generous.

Could it be that Xiang Yang was kidding himself?

"If you call Liu now, I will tell you what color I want."

"."

Alas, friends who have been friends for many years have now become such strangers.

Since getting married, people have changed, and even the jokes have lost their meaning.

Looking at Xiangyang in front of him, Little John sighed in disappointment.

Marriage is indeed a man’s grave.

"Let's go, you have a good rest on the plane. Remember to send me a message when you get to Paris. We will meet in Saudi Arabia in two days." After saying that, Little John patted Xiang Yang on the shoulder.

He was going to turn around and leave handsomely without taking a single cloud with him.

Yes, men, sometimes you have to be cruel.

Even good friends have moments when they say they cherish them.

He just hopes that the changed person is not him.

And when he left quickly, Xiang Yang was stunned.

After taking more than ten seconds to react, he shouted at the back of the man who was about to leave, looking a little weathered and dashing:

"Little John, wait a moment."

Little John turned around, "What are you doing again?"

"You can just leave. Why are you holding my suitcase?"

"Ah oh."

"Hahahaha, hubby, are you and Little John trying to laugh me to death?"

Liu Qianqian felt her stomach hurt as she listened to Xiang Yang describing the scene on the phone.

With a suitcase, both of them can perform a scene.

Xiang Yang couldn't help but feel happy when he thought about the scene just now, "Hey, I'm not exaggerating. When he pulled my suitcase away, I was dumbfounded."

"Hahaha, I have a sense of imagery."

Liu Qianqian, who covered the corners of her mouth and arched her eyebrows, quickly stopped Xiang Yang's words.

After a while, she was able to start talking properly. She glanced at Laura who was interacting with Abbas and others, and asked seriously:

"Then you really want to give him a car?"

"Well actually I should say hello to you."

Xiang Yang scratched his hair and explained a little embarrassedly why he wanted to give his friend such an expensive gift.

Liu Qianqian expressed doubts about Xiang Yang's claim that the next round of investment may skyrocket.

Although Xiangyang's investment returns are scary, they are achieved over many years.

Although some of the people I know are doing business

Anyway, Liu Qianqian felt that Xiang Yang was a bit bragging that it had doubled many times in one year.

It's a bit like a kid asking for more pocket money to ensure he gets perfect marks on the next test.

Liu Qianqian thought for a moment and asked in a low voice:

"Have you really decided?"

"That's what I think, but in the end of course it's your wife who makes the decision."

"Uh" Liu Qianqian frowned, "Husband, you have really turned bad. You want me to be a bad guy, right?"

"I didn't." Xiang Yang was surprised.

Where do you start talking like this?

"Okay, I won't kid you anymore. Then wait until Laura and I go back. Then I will take Little John and Laura to buy them together."

"Uh, that's fine too."

Xiangyang felt weird about this idea.

But I can't tell where it's strange.

But soon, he understood the mystery.

"Honey, how did I find out that you were the one who turned bad?"

"I don't have"

Liu Qianqian raised her mouth.

What if, as Xiang Yang said, this investment made a lot of money and Little John refused to admit it?

Both guys like to be rogue so much.

They always get together.
