Chapter 576: How long has it been since Zi Changsheng won?
Before going to Xiao Wei's home, the school also attached great importance to the shared bicycle project.
However, this emphasis is mostly reflected in the promotion within the school. After leaving the Shanghai University of Engineering and Technology, the help is not as strong.
This was also the reason why Luo Yang had taken the project plan to successively go to Principal Lu and President Xiao of the University, hoping that they could help introduce him to other universities. Although he had received certain promises, Luo Yang had no idea to what extent this help could be achieved.
It is for this reason that Luo Yang joined the Yang City Chamber of Commerce so actively, hoping to build another channel.
Now Xiao Qiyuan has agreed to help personally, and the intensity is completely different from before.
So when Luo Yang contacted Song Wan and informed her of the situation, Song Wan also applauded Luo Yang's brilliant decision.
"Chairman, to be honest, I hope Xiao Wei can grow up quickly so that I can get out of the shared bike project as soon as possible."
Song Wan said frankly on the phone: "The group's investment department invested money at the beginning of the project and held a large stake. As the head of the investment department, it would be ugly if I continued to occupy the position of project leader, especially after Sequoia Capital's angel round of funds came in."
"Why do I feel like you are expressing another meaning?"
Luo Yang replied with a smile: "The specific management of the company's affairs has tied your hands and feet. Song Wan should be active in the field of venture capital, hold a huge amount of capital, and become a well-known investment tycoon at home and abroad."
"cluck"
Song Wan laughed on the phone, "Chairman, you know me very well, don't you?"
When responding to Luo Yang, although his tone seemed relaxed, in fact, he left Kunpeng Technology’s position as HR director, then became the executive president of Gray Rhino Capital, and then was placed by Luo Yang as the group’s vice president, in charge of the investment department.
In just over two years, my position was changed three or four times.
If she didn't have shares in the two subsidiaries and Luo Yang didn't include her on the list of board members, she might have resigned long ago.
"Take good care of Xiao Wei."
Before hanging up, Luo Yang added: "When this project raises its A round of financing, if your family is interested, I can reserve a spot for you."
The Series B financing has been agreed to by Sequoia Capital, and they must lead the investment.
Luo Yang can be confident that by the time it reaches the B round, the prospects of this project will definitely be clear, and Sequoia Capital will most likely directly buy up all the shares released in this round and will not let anyone else get involved.
If we wait until the C and D rounds of financing, the valuation of the shared bicycle project will not be a small number. Even so, Luo Yang is sure that more capital will come after it.
Therefore, the financing opportunity in Round A is equivalent to giving money away.
Song Wan on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time.
It was not until a few seconds before Luo Yang hung up the phone that Song Wan replied, "Okay!"
It was not only a promise to take good care of Xiao Wei until she grew up, but also an acceptance of Luo Yang's kindness to allow the Song family to participate in the A round of financing for the shared bicycle project.
After finishing the call with Song Wan, Luo Yang rubbed his temples and began to wonder whether he should rush to Gusu.
Just when I was about to contact Jiang Fan first, my cell phone rang and it was Jiang Fan calling.
"Luo Yang, I may not be able to go to the Magic City to see you today."
Jiang Fan apologized on the phone: "I haven't seen my classmates for half a semester. They are particularly enthusiastic. In the morning, we discussed going out for dinner together. Several roommates also suggested going to KTV to sing all night after dinner."
"Well then, be careful and don't drink too much."
Luo Yang thought for a moment and asked again: "When will you go back next week?"
"Sun Qin will also be there during the singing. You can rest assured with her around."
Jiang Fan didn't say he wouldn't drink, because it was close to graduation season and all the students in the class, regardless of gender, would drink a little.
"The instructor notified the class group that the topics of our graduation thesis will be finalized within the first three days of next week. I plan to go home on Thursday and return to the school library on the Monday after next week to spend a few days looking up information. I will try to complete the graduation thesis and submit it in early next month."
"Okay, I'll pick you up in Gusu on Thursday morning, and we'll go back to Yang City together."
The idea of helping Jiang Fan collect materials for his graduation thesis flashed through my mind, but I didn't say it out loud.
After finishing their business, the two chatted for a while.
The two ended the call only when someone on the other end of the phone shouted that Jiang Fan was leaving.
I looked at the time on my phone and it was almost four o'clock.
Just as he was about to ask the driver to drive back to his home in Xuhui, his cell phone rang again. This time, the caller was actually Lu Hao.
"Old Third, are you in the Magic City?"
"From what you said, it seems that you rushed back to school this afternoon?"
"It's not just me. I got Changsheng back too. Are you surprised or surprised?"
Lu Hao said in a playful tone, "I am currently cleaning the dormitory with Master Chang. Does Mr. Luo have time to check on the results of our work?"
"Do you want me to ask Jiang Wen and the others to call Liu Qian to come along?"
Luo Yang also responded in a teasing tone: "She returned to school earlier than you."
"Forget it, let's just have dinner together today, the four of us."
Lu Hao's tone on the phone was quite casual: "Anyway, tomorrow is Sunday, I'll ask her out to talk alone, so that if the two of them break down, Liu Qian will cry and affect the mood of the four of us having dinner together."
Wow, has Lu Hao evolved again?
After hanging up the phone, Luo Yang was extremely curious and urged the driver to turn around and drive to the university town.
On Saturday night, the commercial street in University Town was bustling with activity.
Luo Yang went to reserve a private room at the restaurant before five o'clock and almost missed his turn.
Fortunately, everyone doesn’t mind what they eat. Even if it’s a stack of peanuts, a stack of smashed cucumbers, or a stack of stir-fried potato shreds with green peppers, they can all enjoy the drink.
"Fuck, I know the boss can drink, but when did you become so strong, Xufeng?"
After a few rounds of beers, Chang Sheng exclaimed, "That was five glasses in a row, right? I remember Xufeng used to blush after drinking two bottles of beer. Boss, have you been training him to drink every day during the past six months on the construction site?"
"It has nothing to do with me."
Lu Hao smiled and said, "In the real estate engineering department, the drinking culture is really prevalent. I used to think that I could drink more than a kilogram of liquor, but within half a year of working on the project, I met several people who could drink more than me. The key is that everyone never hesitates when drinking. Not to mention beer, even two taels of liquor are drunk directly."
Chen Xufeng added: "If they can drink half a catty, drink eight ounces. I can train them. If they can drink eight ounces, drink a catty. I can trust them. If they can drink a catty, drink a bucket. They can be promoted to vice president."
"Hahaha"
After listening to what the two said, especially Chen Xufeng's jingle, Luo Yang burst into laughter.
The memories of the former real estate man suddenly came back to me.
“Have you ever had a drink with a marketing guy?”
Luo Yang then asked a follow-up question. At the banquet of the real estate company, the marketing department and the engineering department were rivals, because in a complete project, the employees in other departments were in the single digit, or one or two, two or three, but these two departments had more than a dozen people at the beginning.
"Most of the people in the marketing department of the Shuangxi Town project are girls, so we can't win fairly!"
Lu Hao replied to Luo Yang with a beaming face: "The marketing director transferred from the headquarters was very angry and kept saying that he wanted to invite the team from Shanghai to drink with us."
Yes, the Shuangxi Town project is a little special. Most of the female sales staff recruited by the marketing department are local girls from Yang City, and they can’t drink much.
If you move to a slightly larger city, you'll find employees from all over the world. Girls who dare to venture out on their own and enter the sales industry may have a good drinking capacity, but their personalities are definitely straightforward and lively, and they're never afraid to raise a glass of wine to a man.
When he said this, Lu Hao paused.
"Luo Yang, didn't you work as the marketing director at Jincheng Real Estate? How good are you at marketing?"
“More drinkable than you think.”
Luo Yang smiled and said, "When a woman can drink half a catty of liquor, she is often equivalent to a man who can drink a catty of liquor. In many cases, they can even ask you to finish the whole glass with just one gulp."
After listening to this, Lu Hao was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made sense.
"No wonder."
Then he muttered, "No wonder our boss didn't laugh when he heard the marketing director's shouting, he just shouted, "Drink it, drink it, who's afraid of who!"
The battle of who’s afraid of who continued to tonight’s dinner.
As they were chatting, I don't know how it started, but Chang Sheng and Chen Xufeng drank a whole bottle of beer on the spot.
"Boss, how are you going to talk to Liu Qian tomorrow?"
Although he refused to admit defeat verbally, his body was very honest. Chang Sheng saw that he was drinking too quickly and too heavily and needed to take a breath, so he changed the topic to Lu Hao.
"Why mention her in an occasion like tonight?"
Lu Hao passed out cigarettes and waited until everyone had lit theirs before continuing, "Anyway, my plans for the next few years are very clear. If she can accommodate me, then we can continue the conversation and eventually get married. But if she wants me to give up everything I have now to accommodate her, then we should part ways in peace, so that I won't achieve anything in the future and end up being rejected by her and her family."
"I support Lu Hao's idea."
Surprisingly, Chen Xufeng added the next sentence: "If a man has no career and no money, it's meaningless to talk about anything. Even if they get together because of love at the beginning, they will eventually end up on a path of love and hate."
Changsheng: “.”
He stared at Chen Xufeng for a long time without blinking.
"Fuck, why do I feel like you've changed so much, like you've had an epiphany."
"Why don't you just raise Jiayu's name?"
Chen Xufeng laughed at himself, and then said affirmatively: "Anyway, Lu Hao and I have similar ideas. We should focus on our careers in the next few years, and put everything else aside."
"Luo Yang, are they crazy?"
Chang Sheng looked at Luo Yang: "A few years ago, one was madly in love, and the other was flirtatious and wanted to have a girlfriend all day long, but now they are all planning to become monks and meditate in seclusion."
"Uh"
Luo Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't think I'll become a monk."
Although Changsheng's family business is also part of the construction industry, he is the boss's son after all and has not gone deep into this industry.
When it comes to the entertainment industry, some say the education industry, some say the financial industry, some say the entertainment industry, and some say the photography and modeling industries. But if you have to choose three from them, the real estate industry will definitely not fall out of the top three.
When he was the marketing director of Jincheng Real Estate, Luo Yang could say without exaggeration that as long as he put the mind to it, no female employee in the entire department, from planning to marketing, from sales specialists to front-end properties, could escape.
Whether married or single.
As for the engineering department.
Luo Yang looked at Lu Hao while smoking.
He probably understood where Lu Hao's change came from.
In the past six months, especially after Lu Hao was promoted to a supervisory position, coupled with his strong "background" and real power in his hands, it was common for him to be invited by the construction unit to KTV every now and then to have fun, not to mention partying every night.
No matter how innocent you were in college, how could your mentality not change after being immersed in such an environment?
In just three years, the four members of 306 have undergone great changes.
"You're just talking about me, what about you?"
Good friends always expose each other's shortcomings, and Lu Hao did not hesitate to expose each other's scars: "When do you and Shi Huining plan to hold your wedding? Why not just hold it after the graduation ceremony? By then, we will be on vacation and it will be convenient for us to attend your wedding together."
Chang Sheng was smiling just now, but when he heard Shi Huining's name, he started to suck his teeth.
"Boss, can you please not mention this woman?"
He said bitterly, "I don't know what kind of magic potion this woman has fed my parents. Anyway, I have made up my mind that I will not get the marriage certificate until the last minute. It would be best if she can't bear it."
"You damn duck has a tough mouth!"
Lu Hao sneered, "If I were Shi Huining, I would just persuade your parents to stop giving you pocket money and see if you can still get hard!"
Chang Sheng had been stiffening his neck just now, but after hearing these words, he immediately became deflated.
"Changsheng, why don't you work in a real estate company? After all, you studied this major. With Luo Yang's care, you won't have a bright future, but at least you can be financially independent."
Chen Xufeng suggested, "Just like Lu Hao said just now, the economy is controlled by your family, and Shi Huining is no match for you."
Luo Yang didn't say anything.
As the saying goes, it is better to build ten temples than to ruin a marriage.
At least he won't take the initiative to help.
Changsheng hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not have the courage to propose to go out on his own.
"Please excuse my laughter, brothers. I really can't bear this hardship any more."
Without anyone toasting him, the guy picked up the glass and drank it himself, then put it down and let out a long sigh.
He said bitterly, "Before, I relied on Luo Yang's relationship to get two business deals and received a lot of commissions. The old man also treated me as an adult, so at the beginning of the internship, my family gave me 5 pocket money every month. Now, whether it's spending or face with friends, it's all at stake. Now they want me to leave my family and start working hard to make a living with only a few thousand a month."
Good man, are you sure you are complaining and not being complacent here?
How long has it been since we last had a victory?
It’s not that Luo Yang doesn’t want to, but Chang Sheng doesn’t give him a chance!
After hearing this, the fingers holding the cigarette even trembled slightly, and he pursed his lips and spoke out of habit.
"Well, Changsheng is right."
Mr. Luo said: "My normal monthly expenditure is several hundred to tens of millions. I have been saving as much as possible. If I spend less, the scene will not be able to be sustained."
