On the same day, Lu Fei discussed the agreement framework with Xu Xin. Before the contract was signed, one-fifth of the investment had been received.
US$510,000, 4.08 million RMB.
The news of the signing spread either accidentally or intentionally, and first caused a stir in the venture capital circle. Originally, including IDG, only three companies were willing to accept "same shares with different rights", but with Xu Xin and Baring Asia Platform, it was different.
The number of restaurants suddenly increased to 8. Sure enough, you have to rush to eat to make the food delicious!
Lu Fei did not want to exclude IDG, and crossed out the already sick Tiger Fund from its US-funded background, Hong Kong and Taiwan capital...
After much picking and choosing, Carlyle Capital was finally chosen, and Guo Yihong made a meeting with the leader in the Asia-Pacific region.
"Dingle bell, dingle bell~"
The phone outside the house has been ringing non-stop since an hour ago, which is annoying.
"Tao Yao, who called?" Lu Fei walked out.
"Oh, it's a headhunter. I don't know where I got the company's phone number. I keep asking if I want to recruit people. Can you recommend them to us?"
Tao Yao's words immediately attracted the attention of Wang Huiwen, Fang Xing, Gao Tuan and others, and their eyes were focused on Lu Fei.
With money and food, the next step is to recruit troops!
The technical department only relies on five people to support it, and the whole body can't move even the liver. If you continue to practice, sooner or later you will ascend to immortality.
"We definitely need to recruit people, but we won't accept anyone they recommend."
Why didn't Lu Fei know that there was a shortage of people, but there must be basic methods for team expansion? Blind expansion, and a large number of industry "big names" and top talents recommended by headhunters would not only not help, but also add chaos.
E-commerce has just started. Not to mention proficient, few people understand e-commerce. Those professional managers know how to do it!
"Our team must grow and develop together with the platform. Generals are made by fighting, and marshals are baptized by the fire of soldiers..."
"Best regards, Mr. Lu."
Wang Huiwen suddenly realized that it was no wonder that only the two of them were recruited to be responsible for flying purchases at the beginning. The rest of the team was part-time. It meant casting a wide net and cultivating reserve forces, so that good talents could be selected from the part-timers.
Take one step, think three steps!
However, the next step gave Lu Fei a headache.
The size of the studio in his previous life was only twenty or thirty people, and his management level was completely at the level of Liu Bang. He could command a general, but unlike Han Xin, the more the better, and he could not lead thousands of troops.
Especially for the Internet, at every link of the closed loop, there must be generals attacking the city and fighting in the north and south, and there must be people sitting in the rear to ensure logistics.
Therefore, inviting Xu Lei was not polite at all.
"Has Liu Edong's 3C digital store settled in?"
"We have already moved in, and we are temporarily using QICQ to communicate with customers." Gao Tuan said: "I have also actively participated in the e-commerce training sessions these days, and I am very enthusiastic."
"When you build a team, the chat tool will be on the agenda."
Lu Fei touched his chin. Liu Edong didn't have to worry about using this SSS card. He could train and level up and advance to the next level.
Then, standing in front of the writing board, under the gaze of everyone, he deployed the next big plan, "The Legend of Wukong".
After all, every rise is inseparable from the Great Sage. The national comic has "Black Myth: Wukong", the comic has "The Return of the Great Sage", and even the top national comic is "Havoc in Heaven"...
This monkey is destined to be bound to Chinese culture.
"Tao Yao, I have helped Jin He Zai make an appointment with Beijing University Publishing House, and it will be up to you to follow up when the time comes."
Not long after Lu Fei spoke, the ringtone suddenly rang again. He picked up the receiver in disgust, but there was no sound.
"Mr. Lu, your phone is ringing."
………………
"Hey, why are you here?"
Lu Fei received a call from Gao Yuanyuan and hurried to Jingchun Garden. He saw the sparkling lake and a beautiful silhouette standing by the lakeside.
"If you don't come to me, of course I will have to come to you." Gao Yuanyuan's tone was full of resentment.
Lu Fei licked his lips in embarrassment. How could he walk away? This stage is the rising stage of my career (voice: Brother Dao).
"Actually, I didn't come here specially. Director Wang asked me to bring you a message." Gao Yuanyuan smiled slightly.
Oh, you can’t make a phone call when you have a message?
Lu Fei raised his lips, but instead of poking it out, he joked: "As long as I hand over my gun and surrender, the imperial army will guarantee me glory and wealth, and a big golden ticket?"
Gao Yuanyuan giggled, her laughter clear and clear, "Actually, the movie cannot be released in China."
"Well, I know about this."
"Then did you know that "17-Year-Old Bicycle" was registered for the Berlin Film Festival?"
Of course Lu Fei knew, but he had to pretend not to know: "Really?"
"If we are shortlisted, we can go to Germany." Gao Yuanyuan walked briskly and spread her hands. "I want to save more money and buy a bunch of souvenirs when the time comes."
Lu Fei said: "Exchanging euros will cost a lot of money."
"Yeah, so I'm working hard to accept commercials now, including one for chewing gum and one for mouth-clearing lozenges."
"If there is a chance in the future, I will also ask you to shoot an advertisement and be the image spokesperson. How about that?"
"Okay!" Gao Yuanyuan turned around and put her hands behind her back, "I'm very expensive."
The two of them wandered side by side around the lake, the wind was blowing coldly, but they were bathed in the sunshine and felt warm in their hearts.
At noon, I ran to Shengshi Roast Duck Restaurant and sat across from each other.
Gao Yuanyuan happily watched Lu Fei eating roast duck. He ate the meal for several hours, and finally she paid for it.
emm, this meal is delicious and delicious!
As if they wanted to make up for all the time they spent together, the two of them walked tirelessly to Xidan Tianyi Wholesale Market.
Gao Yuanyuan pulled Lu Fei in, and the two of them looked like siblings and lovers, shopping at a clothing stall.
"What size do you usually wear?"
"Me?" Lu Fei looked confused, "Aren't you going to buy it for yourself?"
"I bought it with my best friend a long time ago." Gao Yuanyuan picked over it and said, "I will buy one for you today."
Lu Fei: 0.0
Buy it for me? I had my wallet all ready, but suddenly this happened, I was careless and caught off guard!
"I didn't make a little money by accepting an advertisement." Gao Yuanyuan was led astray by him and kept talking about buzzwords.
"How about this one? Where's this one..."
Lu Fei watched her pick and choose, his eyes full of smiles.
The clerk next to me came up and kindly recommended: "Miss, what clothes do you want to buy for your brother?"
younger brother?
Gao Yuanyuan burst into laughter, and Lu Fei's face darkened.
The clerk observed the words, realized the mistake and immediately corrected it: "Oh, I'm sorry, I bought it for your boyfriend. You are young and handsome..."
In an instant, Gao Yuanyuan's cheeks turned red and her eyes wandered.
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, quickly took the pure black down jacket she chose, held her hand, and walked to the front desk to pay.
"I'll pay, as promised." Gao Yuanyuan immediately took out her wallet.
The clerk smiled and said, "Your girlfriend is really nice."
"Who says it isn't?"
Lu Fei was holding the bag with one hand and holding Gao Yuanyuan's hand with the other. He saw her hand tightening and her smile as bright as a flower.
The two slowly walked out of the mall. The night was dark and the sun was setting.
When they were saying goodbye, Lu Fei flagged down a taxi. Before she got in the car, he proactively said, "Next time, come out and buy clothes. I'll buy them for you and I'll pay for them."
Gao Yuanyuan smiled and hummed.
The next date is already there, right?
………
I took a taxi back to the courtyard and walked in with my bag.
Lu Fei bumped into Xiao Hongmei standing in front of the sink. She was scalding the faucet with warm water. It was cold and it was easy to freeze.
"Hey, Fei, are you going shopping for clothes?"
"Ah, sister-in-law."
"Who bought it for you? Girlfriend?" Xiao Hongmei's eyes lit up.
"Sister-in-law, I bought it myself." Lu Fei covered it up.
"Are you still fooling yourself? Except for the suit last time, you never buy clothes by yourself. You will wear whatever I buy."
Xiao Hongmei transforms into Miss Marple and plays with logic.
Lu Fei was excited and quickly changed the subject: "Sister-in-law, have you bought a washing machine?" He took a closer look and saw that it was a second-hand one.
"Your brother bought it. It hurts my hands from the cold in winter." Xiao Hongmei smiled.
"Brother, why don't you buy a new one for your sister-in-law?" Lu Fei frowned.
"I wanted to buy it for your sister-in-law, but she wouldn't let me." Lu Yun walked out.
Xiao Hongmei said contentedly: "The new one is different from the old one. As long as it can be used, if you save more money, you can open a second Internet cafe. Your brother and I will each manage one."
"It's about this, second brother, you're here just in time, let's talk about it."
Lu Yundao said: "If you don't have enough money, it's a living wage. Your brother and I want to buy us a small bungalow with a toilet, so that we don't have to crowd the public toilets every day."
Xiao Hongmei rolled her eyes, "Forget about the house, we have to bear the loan. What if the loan is not repaid!"
Lu Fei watched the rare quarrel between his brother and his sister-in-law, and watched curiously for a while. In 2000, buying a house in Yanjing required zero down payment. Yes, it was zero down payment, and there was no household registration limit.
Even in Shanghai, buying a house will give you a household registration.
As a result, those who originally wanted to buy a house that they just needed gradually turned into speculation, those who wanted to buy one house turned into two houses, and those who wanted to buy two houses turned into four houses. The first wave of the property market in the new millennium was so high.
Just in response to the movie "Big Shot", I quickly bought a house.
Xiao Hongmei said: "Afei, don't listen to your brother. Your brother has a problem with his free time. He spends all day in the Internet cafe with nothing to do and just thinks nonsense!"
"Well, what can I do if I don't think about it? I've already taken care of the video rental business, so I have nothing to do." Lu Yun sighed: "I'm just a busy person who can't take any time off, so I always want to find something to do."
Lu Fei carried the bag back to the room, and when he walked out, he glanced at the pearl jars and coconut jars on the kitchen table.
It’s already ready!
