"You're welcome, try the taste here."
The dishes were served one after another. Cheng Jiade politely asked Shao Le to use the chopsticks first. Shao Le was not polite, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef stewed with white radish, put it in his mouth, and said, "I usually eat in the cafeteria at school. , today I can be considered as having benefited from President Cheng’s favor, so that I can have such a feast.”
"Haha, seeing you reminds me of myself when I was young, but when I was a college student, I was far worse than you. Come, let's have a drink."
Shao Le picked up the wine glass and took a small sip.
When Cheng Jiade saw this, he frowned slightly and gave the others a subtle wink.
"Mr. Shao, let's have a drink too."
The wine glasses clinked together, and Wu Ke smiled and said: "I'll drink this glass, you can do whatever you want."
After saying that, Wu Ke drank it all in one gulp, but Shao Le still only took a small sip.
Wu Ke was already cursing in his heart.
Do you know the rules at the dinner table? I've finished my drink, shouldn't you finish it too?
Seeing this, others followed suit, but every time Shao Le only took a sip, which wetted his lips, and there was not much wine left in the cup.
Finally, Pan Tiantian, who was sitting next to Shao Le, raised her wine glass, came to Shao Le's side, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shao, I want to pay you a tribute too."
Mr. Shao followed the same pattern and only took a small sip.
After Pan Tiantian finished drinking, she said coquettishly: "Mr. Shao, I've finished a girl's drink, but there's no shortage of wine in your glass."
It was not convenient for anyone else at the table to say this, so it was suitable for Pan Tiantian to say it. She was a few years older than Shao Le. This was why Cheng Jiade specifically asked the administrative manager Wu Rong to bring her here.
Of course Shao Le knew their purpose of pouring him wine as soon as they came up.
He put down his chopsticks, took out a tissue on the table and wiped his mouth, saying with shame: "I don't have a good drinking capacity. As long as I drink a little more, I will feel sleepy. You, President Cheng, suddenly invited me over for dinner today. I'm sure You have something to talk to me about. If I drink too much and fall asleep later, I won’t be able to talk to Mr. Cheng about serious matters."
Only then did Cheng Jiade realize that Shao Le was not as simple as it seemed.
With these words, he easily blocked the drink and even chose it cleanly.
Several people looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Cheng Jiade could only get straight to the point and said: "I've seen your website and it's very good. I heard that your online education has also developed very well recently?"
"It's not bad. We just started charging last night."
"How's the benefit?"
Shao Le shook his head and sighed: "It's not good. There were only about 500 paying users on the first day. The whole set of courses sold for 600 yuan, and the revenue was less than 300,000 yuan."
Three hundred thousand?
Four live broadcast rooms harvested 300,000 yuan in one night. Is this not good? !
Wu Ke was dumbfounded when he heard this.
Shao Le said it sincerely. No one at the table suspected that he was telling lies. Only Xu Zheng was secretly happy.
He was also present last night. There were only 300 paying users, and there were also accounts from many companies, which barely broke the 100,000 mark.
Brother Le was obviously bluffing. Judging from their looks, they seemed to be really bluffed...
Xu Zheng kept observing the words and expressions without saying a word.
"Well……"
"The plate is still too small. Later I plan to learn from Cheng Zong and regard online education as the company's main business. I have no other skills and my interpersonal relationships are okay. I have many friends in Tsinghua and Peking University. Now our company only has ten I plan to increase the number of online course teachers to forty before the end of the year.”
Cheng Jiade smiled awkwardly and said: "With so many people, a big venue is needed."
"Hi."
Shao Le immediately smiled and said, "The venue is not a problem for me. Our school particularly supports my company and now provides me with five sets of offices for free. If it is not enough in the future, the school said that the entire floor can be given to me. Whenever you have time, you can come to my place and give me guidance."
If you don’t ask, you won’t know. If you ask, you will be shocked.
If it develops as Shao Le said, it is really possible that Lexue.com will catch up to latecomers in the field of online education.
Cheng Jiade calmed down and asked: "You are not short of venues and people, but you must be short of money now, right?"
"Indeed, with so many people in the company, we have to spend a lot of money on salary alone for a month, as well as decoration, equipment and other miscellaneous things, which all cost money."
Cheng Jiade finally felt confident and said, "I called you here today. To be honest, I am very optimistic about you and your company. If you are short of money, I can consider investing in you."
"Really?"
Shao Le looked very excited and asked, "I'm about to find investors. I wonder how much money Mr. Cheng plans to invest?"
Cheng Jiade stretched out two fingers.
Shao Le hurriedly asked: "Twenty million?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people in the box had different expressions. Many people were thinking: 20 million, you really dare to think about it. If you sell your entire company, it might not even be worth 20 million.
Cheng Jiade said: "It's two million."
"Two million?" Shao Le's face suddenly fell. While everyone else was waiting for Shao Le to speak, he continued to pick up his chopsticks and eat the food.
Xu Zheng seemed to have guessed Shao Le's thoughts. He suddenly smiled and said: "Two million, to send a beggar."
Swish, swish, swish.
Everyone looked at Xu Zheng.
Shao Le immediately scolded: "Xu Zheng, don't talk nonsense!"
Xu Zheng pursed his lips and said, "Why am I talking nonsense? It's not like we can't come up with two million, this little money is of no use to us at all."
"Mr. Cheng doesn't know the situation of our company, you have to understand."
The two of them started to act in front of everyone, saying something to each other.
Cheng Jiade asked curiously: "Um... is it possible that two million is very little for your company?"
Cheng Jiade thought to himself, aren't you just a small company in the university? Two million should be a huge sum of money for you.
Shao Le then followed the topic and explained: "Less is a lot. Even this little money we can afford now is just a drop in the bucket for us."
"Then how much do you want?" Cheng Jiade asked directly.
Shao Le blurted out: "Ten million."
"Ten million!"
Before Cheng Jiade had time to speak, Wu Ke and Liu Xianzu next to him had their eyes widened.
Cheng Jiade asked patiently: "Ten million is not a small amount of money. What do you want so much money for?"
"A small part will be used to expand the scale, and the rest will be used for promotion. My goal is to make Lexue.com a benchmark enterprise among online education companies within a year."
"Aren't you afraid of losing money?" Liu Xianzu, vice president of Shengsheng Education, couldn't help but ask.
Shao Le said with a smile: "We young people don't think so much when doing things. If we are timid, how can we compete with big companies like you? Mr. Cheng, I am not talking about you, because there was also a company called The company of Dayou Education approached us..."
Cheng Jiade was silent.
Even for him, ten million was still a large amount of money. Shao Le said it was easy. When the time came, he would lose all his money. He could just pat his ass and walk away, but Cheng Jiade could not.
Cheng Jiade couldn't make a decision for a while, and the atmosphere in the box became weird.
Only Shao Le kept feasting like a normal person.
