In a blink of an eye.

It has been a week since Chen Pingsheng applied for the driver job.

During this week, he also got a general understanding of the living habits of the beautiful female president Su Zi.

Although this woman is meticulous and strict in her work.

But she is also very principled. Once it is time to get off work, she will never disturb anyone's private space.

Unlike some antique shop owners who send you messages in the early hours of the morning and may say that you don’t love your job if you don’t reply.

No dreams.

It would be suffocating for anyone to have a boss like this.

Su Zi is worthy of being someone who studied abroad. Such a thing would never happen to her.

Moreover, even though she works very hard, she is actually forced to get married by her family in her daily life.

Force her to meet a blind date.

The work that Chen Pingsheng gave her was quite easy. She usually just drank tea and chatted with people in the company.

Only occasionally do I need to give this beautiful president a ride.

Mo Yao was right. Su Zi rarely spoke and would never take the initiative to talk to him.

The longest conversation the two of them had was probably during the job application process.

The rest of the time is basically spent on where to go, okay.

When she arrives, she will take the initiative to say thank you to you, and that's all.

Chen Pingsheng likes this job very much. It pays 10,000 yuan a month and is easy and close to home.

It’s just that Su Zi has developed a new AI communication tool.

It has certain social attributes and also has the function of self-destructing after reading.

This function has been popular in foreign countries for a long time, but it has not been popular in China.

After Su Zi developed it, she promoted it on the Internet platform.

The number of downloads on that day exceeded 100,000.

This made her a little excited, and she always felt that she could take the big penguin's job.

During this period, the entire company is working around this newly developed AI smart chat.

Su Zi invested 200 million yuan herself, which is most of the company's cash flow.

In addition, she is actively looking for large companies to raise funds.

However, the question that people ask the most is very simple.

What would you do if the giant penguin copied you?

Seriously speaking, this problem is somewhat fatal and also has a certain degree of difficulty.

No matter what APP it is, most of them are popular from abroad.

With the Internet scale of Big Penguin, he no longer needs to be at the forefront.

Once you've matured an app and determined it has a broad market, it can be imitated immediately.

It leaves those who walk in front of it with no way to go.

Over the years, the only two areas that have failed are probably Alibaba's e-commerce and Douyin's short videos.

The rest are not enough for it to fight in one round.

Chen Pingsheng also took a look at this AI chat tool and had some ideas about what to say.

It suits the tastes of today's young people and is mainly fun.

If I send you a nude photo, it will automatically disappear immediately.

In addition, there are many AI functions on it.

Today's AI technology has reached the intermediate stage, suitable for assembly line workers, including those who do repetitive work.

They have all been eliminated by this thing, not only that, but countless technical workers are also the same.

Most companies are now working towards this sector.

It’s just that the people ahead have already accumulated a lot, and it’s extremely difficult for those behind to surpass them.

Chen Pingsheng acted as if nothing had happened, watching Mo Yao and the others busying themselves every day.

Suffocate for the dream, and work hard for the dream.

"Brother Chen, Ms. Su is going to a private cocktail party at 7 o'clock this evening. She might want to drink alcohol that evening. Is that time convenient for you?"

It must be said that Su Zi is quite respectful. That time period was already his off-get off work time.

If Su Zi wanted to drink, he couldn't drive, and he specifically asked Mo Yao to ask him first, which was very respectful.

"Tonight, I should have time."

"That's good. President Su doesn't trust others to pick her up, and she's mainly going there for company financing, so she'll be done by nine o'clock at the latest."

"Okay...it's no big deal."

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

After Mo Yao replied in the work group, Chen Pingsheng waited until after get off work to take Chen Lu home.

When Chen Lu found out that he had become someone else's driver, his eyes looked extremely strange.

"Dad...if you're really bored, you can go back to the Magic City. I can take care of myself."

"What can you take care of? Do you look down on your dad for being a driver?"

"Not really, I just think it's totally unnecessary."

Chen Lu said strangely: "What kind of status do you have now? You still do this? Does mom know?"

"Of course she knows. Your dad and I told her everything. Besides, your dad had a reason for going to work. Anyway, it's not something you can understand now."

Chen Lu really didn’t understand, and Su Xiaoxi didn’t understand either.

At night, the two of them would secretly go out for a walk and chat together.

Chen Pingsheng didn't say anything when he saw it.

Chen Lu thought Su Xiaoxi was smarter than him, but when he asked Su Xiaoxi, she didn't understand at all.

The two of them were collectively confused.

Chen Pingsheng doesn't care what his son thinks. He is still a very competent father.

I cook for my son in the evening.

It was not until half past six that he set out on time to send Su Zi off to attend the company's financing reception.

Su Zi had just finished her work, so she only ate a few bites of the meal.

After she got in the car, she had to put on makeup in the car.

By the way, when changing clothes, Su Zi still looks very elegant, the typical image of a queen.

Big breasts, perky buttocks, and a thin waist.

As the boss's driver, Chen Pingsheng definitely has the proper manners.

That is, never take the initiative to talk, let alone say nonsense.

Su Zi liked this about him. Perhaps it was because she took advantage of his working time. After putting on her makeup, Su Zi asked Chen Pingsheng:

"Is your son finished school already?"

"Well... I picked him up around five o'clock and even cooked for him. He should be home doing his homework now."

"How are his grades?"

"It's okay. It shouldn't be a problem to get into a good high school. As for college, I might go abroad, or I might stay in China."

The cost of going abroad for a year will not be less than one million, and this is just the very basic cost.

Su Zi just asked a personal question unintentionally, but now she was a little curious because she herself had studied abroad.

"Compared to domestic universities, the teaching concepts of foreign universities are still much more advanced. If your family has the conditions, it is best to send your child abroad."

Although this statement may be a bit discouraging, it is also easy to be morally blackmailed by those brainless people on the Internet.

But it is an indisputable fact.

You don't need to look at anything else, just look at where the rich people, including the children of the upper class, go to college and you will know.

It is no exaggeration to say that any family that has the conditions will send their children abroad.

Especially developed cities and regions.

The more backward a place is, the more patriotic it is; the more developed a place is, the more likely it is to try to send its children abroad.

It all depends on how you understand this strange phenomenon.

Su Zi only gave her advice based on her own experience. She knew very well where domestic teaching lagged behind.

It is very clear that if you want to do well in future technology, you must go abroad, or at least learn English to the highest level.

Because the scientific research teams of those large companies, including scientific research projects.

Many of them are marked in English, and the translation will be very different.

Chen Pingsheng naturally understood this.

Otherwise, there would be no need for him to take the three children from his family abroad frequently and stay there for several months.

When it comes to the level of advancement in the field of science and technology, to be realistic, we do need to learn from others' strengths.

"My son is still young and has a few years left in college. It depends on his own decision."

Chen Pingsheng took the initiative to end the topic, and there was silence for the rest of the time.

Su Zi wore a high-end sexy dress, which showed her the aura of a workplace queen while also showcasing her own beauty.

She also revealed a little bit of her cleavage, and when getting off the car, she asked Chen Pingsheng to wait upstairs.

There will be a buffet at the wine club above, and you can help yourself to whatever you want.

Chen Pingsheng hasn't attended this kind of business reception for many years.

The place where he went to hold meetings was either BJ or the Seven Chiefs Global Industry Conference in Hong Kong.

The investments often start at tens of billions.

This is not comparable to a small cocktail party. Su Zi's purpose of coming here is to obtain a 500 million yuan Series A financing.

She has already invested in the angel round herself.

If she cannot find some partners to share the risks with her and snipe the competition from future giants together.

Her current project alone is enough to drag her company into an irretrievable situation.

She simply doesn't have the ability to enjoy all the profits from this project independently.

The people Su Zi invited were all small investors in Shenzhen.

With her current conditions, it would be difficult for her to meet Chu Qiuyan, including several major investors under her.

Not to mention inviting a big shot like Zhang Wanyi.

No one attends business cocktail parties to eat, but Chen Pingsheng is definitely an exception.

Because he has kept a low profile for so many years, he rarely participates in public speeches, including business gatherings.

Not many people in Shenzhen know him. Since they are not in that circle, most people have only heard of him.

Any business financing plan that can be handed to him is not a small project.

At least 300 to 500 billion or more.

The overseas projects that the seven of them are in charge of are all worth hundreds of billions of yuan, and most of them require everyone to raise funds together and share risks.

Tong Zelan did not give up her short-selling fund just because of one or two failures.

Similarly, after the domestic Internet market became saturated, Shen Nanpeng and his team did not narrow their investment scope.

It's just a shift from the Internet to the field of AI.

Investors not only get money, but also many external business resources.

These are the most important things.

It can be said that if it is not Masayoshi Son who invests, someone else will be his angel investor.

It is very likely that Alidu would not have developed to the current level.

This is the influence of investors' external business resources. Tencent Film Group has also invested in many projects.

The traditional sector, including entertainment projects, has the highest chance of success.

Chen Pingsheng was concentrating on eating because he had a good image and looked like a big boss.

There were also many women who came to greet him in a very elegant and pretentious manner.

"Sir, do you also like this macaron dessert?"

"It's okay, I just want to eat a few bites because I'm hungry."

"I like the chocolate mousse next door."

Women who want to chat up with you don’t need you to find topics to talk about, they will find ways to get information from you.

Chen Pingsheng is quite familiar with this kind of woman. Beneath her beautiful appearance lies an extreme materialism.

If you tell them that you are a driver, I guarantee you will run faster than a rabbit.

"Sir, I wonder if you have time tonight. I happen to live upstairs. Can I invite you upstairs for a drink?"

"Girl, you may have misunderstood. I'm just a driver, not a big boss."

When the woman heard this, she cursed inwardly and left without even saying goodbye.

Su Zi over there noticed this and was a little surprised, but she calmly introduced her business project to others.

By half past eight, she was ready to leave.

She had drunk quite a bit of wine and was still a little tipsy, so Chen Pingsheng had to support her every step of the way.

The Maybach has a strong sense of stability and people don't feel any shaking when sitting in the car.

Perhaps Su Zi did not get the result she was satisfied with, so she squinted her eyes all the way home.

After she returned home, Chen Pingsheng drove back.

Chen Lu had already gone to bed, so Chen Pingsheng didn't bother him. He tiptoed back to the room and called his wife, Song Yanxi.

The two chatted for more than ten minutes and then he went to sleep.

By the next day, the atmosphere in the company began to become tense, perhaps because they had not received financing.

Su Zi is under a lot of pressure now, with an app like this that has social attributes.

Everyone knows it has great prospects, but all investors are also very clear about it.

This is simply not something a small business can succeed in.

Any giant can easily imitate it if it comes up with a similar competing product.

When the time comes, what will they use to fight these giants with bayonets?

Want to break the blockade, imitation and monopoly of the giants.

The prerequisite is that you can find another giant to support you. This is a recognized business rule.

This is the difficulty Su Zi faces now. Small investors dare not invest.

Big investors, including giants, don't trust her that much.

It is very difficult for her to get the money from the big guys.

Su Zi has always wanted to accomplish something big, and she really wants to prove herself.

It’s just a pity that after several cocktail parties, she still couldn’t get 500 million in financing.

Chen Pingsheng himself also looked at this project. Seriously speaking, Su Zi did not have the genes to make it happen.

Now it’s just because the project is still small and it’s just a small-scale effort, so the big penguins including Douyin and other giants will not pay attention to her.

Once she gets billions of dollars in financing, she will be sure that this path is feasible.

Countless giants will immediately take action upon hearing the news.

Among them are most likely Zhang Wanyi and Chu Qiuyan, two people who truly stand at the ceiling of Guangdong's strong women.

The big penguin's attitude towards the social market is to fight for every inch of land.

Everyone else has been blocked in this area for too long, and once a gap appears.

Douyin, Penguin, Tengfei AI, Yuanmeng Fund, and Tengyou Media all exited the market.

Any one of them can come up with tens of billions and have a top team composed of thousands of outstanding talents.

What can Su Zi use to compete with these giants?

This is the main reason why today's entrepreneurs should not focus on big projects.

The Internet has no boundaries, once a war breaks out.

No matter how much money you invest, only one or two companies will survive in the end.

The others were either merged or became cannon fodder.

Su Zi's project is good, but the biggest problem is that she wants to compete with the giants for business.

Once discovered, one family moves their body.

She was always the first one to be trampled to death.

What remains is the battlefield of giants. The cruel and realistic business war is often just a distant glance from the giants.

You are already dead.

This is probably the reason why it is so difficult to find great people who have made their fortunes from scratch in this era.

No one dares to invest in Su Zi because everyone knows that social apps are still apps in the mainstream market.

It is not just an APP that relies solely on marginal needs such as hooking up, which will inevitably attract the intervention of giants.

The only ones who can really compete with the giants are the giants on the same channel.

There are even investors who directly say that if Su Zi can get investment from the Dream Fund.

Then they will follow immediately. If they can’t get it, then everyone can only wait and see.

The reason why we want to take the investment from the Dream Fund.

That’s because among the giants, the big penguin is unlikely to support them in social networking.

Douyin has always wanted to dig into the heart of the giant penguin.

Ali’s investment attributes are too poor, and he likes to be in power, so he sent Ali’s direct management troops to airborne.

The final result is often a death that cannot be more dead.

It was directly suppressed by the Penguin system.

The Dream Fund is different, although it is also an independent top investment fund.

But there is someone behind it, and that person is recognized by the business world as the one with the most money.

He also has his own super-independent group projects including cars, mobile phones, entertainment, short videos, and AI.

It can be said that as long as Su Zi can attract investment from the Dream Fund.

Then it would be impossible for it to be eliminated by just one glance.

At least you can compete for one or two, and if you perform well, the project will be handed to that person.

That would be terrible.

According to that person's investment philosophy, either don't do it, or if you do it, spend the most money and get the best technology.

The worst outcome is a merger.

As long as the merger is completed, it means that the capital behind it has reached an agreement.

You can't kill me, and I can't kill you.

It’s easy after that. After the merger, everyone will make the rules of the game together.

Even though these giants are fighting fiercely, if others want to get involved, there is no chance.

Therefore, Su Zi must find a way to get investment from the Dream Fund.

This is also a key step for her to succeed.
