In front of Andingmen in Dongcheng, there are crisscrossing alleys, green bricks and old tiles, and green trees.
Lu Fei walked through Guozijian Street and turned into Jianchang Alley. There was a Xiuguan Bar at the intersection, which was also open during the day.
The owner's surname is Wang, and he is a lover of old furniture, so the decoration in the store is antique. The partitions are old carved window frames, the wall decorations are old bed lintels, and even the roof is painted with Dunhuang flying sky. The decoration is full of old tables, chairs, and old objects. .
In the winter, the coal stove is burning in the house, which is warm.
"This is Mr. Lu of Feigou.com, Lu Fei, who I'm talking to you about." Guo Yihong introduced both parties, "This is the head of Carlyle Capital Asia Pacific, Zu Wencui, Mr. Zu."
While shaking hands, Lu Fei looked at Zu Wencui. He was middle-aged, with gray hair, wearing glasses, and was polite and spoke with a strong Bayan accent.
Likewise, Zu Wencui was observing him.
"Can you guys have something to drink?"
The waiter came over and took down the coffee that Zu Wencui and Guo Yihong wanted.
When it was Lu Fei's turn, he ordered cappuccino as usual, and also ordered a pot of warm water and a bag of sugar. Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he took out bottles and cans from the small bag he carried.
Zu Wencui saw the milk tea powder and the pearls, "Mr. Lu likes to make his own milk tea?"
Lu Fei took four spoons of powder and three handfuls of pearls, poured in sugar packets and water, and quickly made a cup, "Mr. Ancestor, do you want to try it?"
Zu Wencui took a drink, and the taste that went into his throat immediately made him nostalgic, "It's been a long time since I drank boba milk tea. The taste is very similar to the one I drank in Wanwan, but it's a little different and has a unique flavor."
Lu Fei squinted his eyes, and the fish took the bait, "What if we make it into a product?"
"You want to open a physical milk tea shop?" Guo Yihong was stunned.
Lu Fei shook his head and laughed, "I came up with a sudden idea. I predict that in two years, milk tea will be available in first- and second-tier cities across the country."
"Two years?" Zu Wencui couldn't believe it.
Lu Fei's voice was full of talk, and his tone was full of confidence.
"...The entire East Asia region is in the Pan-Confucian cultural circle. There are similarities in eating habits. Do our ancestors agree?"
Zu Wencui took a sip of milk tea and said it was great!
Lu Fei curled his lips, just like an old American who doesn't believe there are people in the world who don't like drinking coffee. He is from Wanwan and has lived in Wanwan, Xiangjiang, Neon, and Bangzi. He believes and is sure that there is no reason why the mainland doesn't like it. milk tea.
Milk tea will become popular sooner or later!
Why do these words sound so familiar? That’s right, he completely followed the formula of Domestic Products, U.S. Stock Harvester, and Luckin Coffee in this set of words.
While fooling around, Zu Wencui was inexplicably attracted to milk tea.
"Ahem."
Guo Yihong looked confused. His style of painting was wrong. I asked you to talk about the Internet, but you were actually talking about milk tea?
Lu Fei was not in a hurry to pull the lever, and deliberately let it go, turning his attention from the milk tea back to Feigou.com.
The negotiations went very smoothly, and the capital market loves stories, especially miracles.
The rush to register the Lianxiang domain name, the establishment of Feigou.com, the hype of "Westward Journey", coupled with the recent financing of Baring Asia, so many stories are concentrated on a senior high school student.
Then, being a repeat student is not a minus, but a plus!
Zu Wencui valued Lu Fei and naturally liked the stories he told.
1.25 million U.S. dollars is not even a cent for Carlyle Capital, which manages 30 billion U.S. dollars. It invests as much as it wants.
Rather than investing, he cared more about the milk tea that he mentioned just now, and he was still talking about it before parting ways.
Lu Fei continued to whet his appetite, but did not reveal the answer to the mystery. The more it was like this, the more itchy Zu Wencui felt. He got in the car and did not forget to roll down the window: "I am very much looking forward to Mr. Lu's answer."
Watching the car go further and further away, Guo Yihong turned his head and asked, "Are you still planning on making milk tea, doing two things?"
Lu Fei encouraged, "I'm not the one who gave the idea to others. Are you interested? Do you want to invest in it? Just look for one company?"
"No need, IDG specializes in investing in the Internet." Guo Yihong refused.
"Don't regret it."
Lu Fei touched it with his arm and suddenly said, "I know you have invested in a chat tool..."
"Yes, QICQ, developed by a small company in Pengcheng."
Guo Yihong sighed, "It's okay if you don't mention it, but you'll be worried when you mention it. More than two million US dollars have been thrown into it, the traffic has not been realized, there is no profit point, and the money will be burned out quickly."
"Let's sum it up."
"What ideas do you have?" Guo Yihong asked warily.
“Isn’t my Feigou.com missing a chat tool?”
Lu Fei had a serious look on his face, harmless to humans and animals, "Please contact me and discuss cooperation."
……………
On December 1, Donglu officially signed contracts with Barings Asia and Carlyle Capital. It was neither published in newspapers nor interviewed. There were only a few newspapers such as "Beiqing Daily", "Yanjing Evening News" and "Yanjing Morning News". The media reports are not front-page headlines, but occupy a small space in finance and economics.
And in the entire IT world, the news spread like wildfire, and people in the industry realized belatedly that the driving force behind the popularity of "Dahua" was actually Feigou.com.
Now this little-known website has raised US$5 million and become famous overnight. It has become a talking point in the industry. It even had a special feature on Lu Fei's "Sanlian", and sales have increased by several thousand copies.
Although starting from 160,000 RMB and reaching a valuation of US$500 million is not legendary enough compared to 8848.com, the "different rights for the same shares" has simply exploded in the IT industry.
This is the first one for China Internet!
Another first, another first to try something new!
Xiangjiang, Ali Baba.
Luyun raised $20 million and moved its headquarters to the more international city of Xiangjiang. Its employees are all elite talents from multinational companies, and its servers are located in Silicon Valley in the United States.
At this time, he was sitting in the office meeting with Cai Chongxin:
"I think Ali Baba should also implement such a dual-class equity management, and we must always ensure that control is in the hands of our team..."
"I will lead the team to design this, but it is not the most important thing."
Cai Chongxin adjusted his glasses, "According to my research on Feigou.com, many of its mechanisms are very avant-garde, especially its payment model, Caifubao."
"More advanced than 8848?"
Lu Yun frowned. Wang Juntao from 8848.com was by no means a fuel-saving lamp. He didn't expect Caifubao to be in place in one step, but he proposed a "unique" bank transfer method for Chinese e-commerce.
The platform negotiates with financial institutions. Customers can order goods online and tell 8848.com which card to use. Then the platform will notify the buyer of an account number and transfer the money to it.
Because 8848 is mainly engaged in B2C and B2B, it is the only seller, and it is between face-to-face transactions and online payments.
But obviously, it is not as advanced as Caifubao.
Cai Chongxin proposed to create a "wealth pay treasure" for Ali Baba. [ps: Ali launched “Integrity Pass” in 2002]
Lu Yun touched his chin, "It seems that this Lu Fei's success was not by chance. Next time we have a sword debate in West Lake, I will definitely invite him and let Wang Juntao compete."
"well!"
Wang Juntao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking Zhuhai. On the table behind him was "Sanlian Life Weekly", and the open page happened to be on Lu Fei's page.
He sighed, envious of this young man who dared to engage in "same shares but different rights".
Today's 8848.com is brilliant on the surface, with a valuation of US$500 million. In fact, it's all a bubble, just driven up by capital.
With 57 companies taking shares, the equity of founders Wang Juntao has been completely diluted, from the original 20% to 1%.
If it cannot be listed this time, the castle in the air will collapse.
He lowered his head, sat back on the chair, looked up at the ceiling, and kept blaming himself.
Why didn't I think of this trick?
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and this wave behind Lu Fei is also a bit fierce!
The one who expressed the same emotion was still in the Yanjing Zijin Building.
Lei Jun flipped through Sanlian Life Weekly and looked at Lu Fei's face at least five times.
Why did he think of hyping "Westward Journey"!
Turning around, he looked at the people in his company. They either had extremely long hair or were bald, talkative, and full of pioneers.
Among the crowd, Chen Nian hurriedly walked out and brought bad news. Na Ying and Wang Fei's concert, which had been planned for a month, was completely ruined.
Joyo.com’s one-hit plan failed!
Lei Jun said: "Where are the CDs from the music department? How are the sales of the CDs we gave Song Ke?"
"Unsatisfactory."
Chen Nian shook his head. He originally expected to sell 1 million or 10 million copies, but it was all a pipe dream, and it was less than a fraction of the price of "Westward Journey" on Feigou.com.
"Why don't we cut down the music department?"
Lei Jun is very worried. Joyo.com has been building its website for almost 2 months, and the traffic is very low. He must plan to have 16.4 million on hand until the day when the website becomes profitable.
"That's all it can do."
Chen Nian sighed, "Mr. Lei, does the software department have any plans, or any new products?"
However, software does not come out in a short while. At this time, Lei Jun and Chen Nian were in trouble. What did the newly launched Joyo.com sell?
Software is not good, music is not good, only books are left.
Chen Nian suggested: "I found an online novel on New Wolf, "The Legend of Wukong", which is similar to "Westward Journey". It is also a joke about Journey to the West."
"Then try it."
Lei Jun nodded solemnly, "Also, we are also engaged in DVD production like Feigou.com. He can launch high-quality products. There is no reason to be excellent..."
At this moment, the secretary intervened and someone was looking for him outside the door.
"Who?" Lei Jun asked.
"It's said to be a company in Pengcheng called Penguin."
