Chapter 419 Shen Qingning and Lin Lu
In the small conference room, everyone sat together and talked about other things.
For example, what new plans will Yuzucha have in the second quarter?
Nowadays, other milk tea brands are all small-time products in Cheng Zhu's eyes, so Youcha will continue to expand in the second quarter.
The reason he came here today, besides because he had many important things to discuss face to face, was also to take this opportunity to tell Prin Capital: at the rate we are spending money, we will have no money in the third quarter of this year!
Cheng Zhu is a show-off who really spends too much money.
This guy only thinks about the future and doesn't care how much money he will spend now. It seems that the only thing he cares about is the time cost and he is always racing against time.
My goodness, time really is money, right?
It's as if he didn't prioritize opening stores around Hangzhou, but directly jumped into major first-tier cities, which greatly increased the current cost.
Fortunately, the answer he gave was perfect, so no one had much to say. People like Lin Jiehan were even glad that he did not jump out to stop him, otherwise he would have been slapped in the face.
At this stage, Cheng Zhu always gives people a sense of being stubborn. I will just do things according to my own ideas, and no one of you can talk to me. He is just like Yue Dongyi who loved to explore underwater projects when he was young.
Therefore, Yue Dongyi also gave him great support and trust.
In the first quarter of 2015, Youcha already had 19 stores, with another 4 under preparation.
His goal for the second quarter is to have 50 stores officially open for business!
This is 12 more than in the first quarter.
Although Youcha is a cash cow and makes money very quickly, it still cannot match the speed at which this "prodigal boss" burns money.
As the territory of pomelo tea expands, more money will be invested in supply chain and cold chain logistics.
This model of earning money while spending money cannot be sustained for long.
The three of them were all well-known and experienced bigwigs in the investment community. They quickly deduced the result: it would be good if the money was not spent before the end of the second quarter, and it would be impossible to last until the third quarter!
This also means that the second round of financing will be carried out soon.
Cheng Zhu is now implying that there is not enough money to spend.
"Well, I'm the first one to hint at you, Prin Capital. Am I being nice?" the dog man thought.
Come on, come on, give me money!
He now has the mentality of a scumbag: Do you know how many men out there want to spend money on me?
It’s your blessing that I spend your money first!
Prin Capital had actually reached a consensus a long time ago that they would definitely make follow-up investments during the second round of financing.
And they are well aware that Youcha is likely to introduce new investment to connect with new resources.
This young man is very thoughtful and stubborn. He is not easily fooled and is not easy to fool.
But no matter what, this second round of financing was earlier than they expected, and much earlier!
Before the first round of financing, they were thinking that the second round of financing would have to be next year at the latest, right?
My goodness, even half a year may not be enough to wait!
But it just so happens that this freshman really managed to figure out this brand new milk tea business model.
It is indeed qualified for the second round of financing, and there may even be a scene where everyone wants to take the opportunity to enter the market!
For Prin Capital, the current attitude towards investing is: the more the better.
The more you invest, the higher the percentage.
But Yue Dongyi still remembers that this guy rejected his 160 million investment.
Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, how much Prin Capital can invest this time may really depend on his mood!
There are not many people in the world who can be so tough when asking for money from others.
Many people go to seek investment like beggars begging for food.
It can only be said that grapefruit tea has achieved the current level and has indeed become a hot commodity in the eyes of the capital market.
In fact, Cheng Zhu had already set his sights on a certain investor.
He firmly believed that the other party would definitely come to him with the money.
In the first round of financing, Youcha had already raised a considerable amount of money, and its valuation reached a terrifying 800 million!
Many people in the investment circle are also watching, and many have even estimated the amount of Youcha’s second round of financing, as well as its valuation after the financing.
Cheng Zhu was also looking forward to this.
The meeting lasted for an hour and a half. After it ended, the three of them sent Cheng Zhu to the elevator together.
Yue Dongyi looked at him and asked, "Are you going back to Hangzhou directly later, or are you going to stay in Shanghai for a few more days?"
He was wondering whether he should do his best to be a good host.
"I have something to do today, so I plan to go back tomorrow." Cheng Zhu replied.
Yue Dongyi nodded, it seemed that it was not necessary.
In fact, after Cheng Zhu finished the meeting, there was nothing important to do.
Oh, the remaining things can barely be considered important matters?
He will definitely stay in the Magic City for another day today and will choose to stay at Hu Yan's house for another day.
In fact, he had his own intentions in choosing this day to come to Shanghai, and he had chosen the date.
Because of the special day, he has to stay in Shanghai today and go back tomorrow.
Hangzhou, Lin family.
Since today is Sunday, Lin Lu got up late and stayed in bed until half past ten, and even skipped breakfast.
When her boyfriend was not in Hangzhou, she felt a little bored and thought it would be better to just sleep in bed. Time passed so quickly!
When she woke up, she opened her phone and the first thing she saw was the photo Cheng Zhu sent her.
He took a photo of himself wearing the tie given to him by Lin Lu and going to a meeting at Prin Capital.
"Handsome, handsome, handsome!" Xiaolu typed back with a smile.
After sending the message, she realized that the other party might be busy, and immediately added: "If you are busy, you don't have to reply to me~"
When Lin Lu is doing dubbing work, he annoys being disturbed.
So putting herself in her boyfriend's shoes, she felt that she shouldn't go and chat with him when he was busy.
Seeing that Cheng Zhu did not reply, she hummed a little tune and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Obviously, she saw the photos sent by Cheng Zhu when she woke up in the morning, which started her good mood for the day.
After a while, she received a reply from Cheng Zhu.
"Just got out of a meeting," he typed.
"I'm so curious, what you look like in the meeting." Lin Lu sent a message.
"Of course he is extremely handsome, a domineering president!" Cheng Zhu was shameless.
Whether he is extremely handsome is debatable, but it is true that he loves to show off.
"Tsk! Narcissist!"
"What's going on? Who just replied to me saying handsome?"
"I mean the tie is cool!"
After the two chatted for a while, Lin Lu asked, "Do you have a lot of things to do today?"
"Well, there are quite a lot of things, and they are all very trivial." He didn't lie in this regard.
He was planning to open a large store of over 300 square meters in Shanghai. There was a pretty good location, and he planned to go and see it in person.
"Okay, it doesn't matter. I have someone to accompany me today anyway! Hehe!" Lin Lu said this deliberately.
"Who is it? Your Ningning?" Cheng Zhu directly exposed it.
"Yes, I'm going to have dinner with Ningning in the evening and then go to the movies." Lin Lu confessed.
Cheng Zhu looked at the content of WeChat and felt happy.
Do you have any activities tonight?
It’s good to have activities! It’s good to have activities!
——That’s exactly what I want.
Anyway, I have something important to do in the evening. I need to review the toys produced by the factory.
"What movie are you watching?" Cheng Zhu asked.
"The movie Cinderella which just came out." Lin Lu replied.
Cheng Zhu: “.”
Two rich young ladies, two wealthy ladies, both acting like real princesses, go to see "Cinderella"?
Of course, he had absolutely no interest in this movie.
"I knew you wouldn't want to watch it, so I picked this one specially." Lin Lu typed.
The meaning is very clear, I will keep all the movies you would like to watch and watch them with you.
"Okay, I'll take you to the movies when I get back to Hangzhou." Cheng Zhu typed with a smile.
In addition, he was also very clear in his mind that his purpose of coming to the Magic City on a certain date was about to be achieved!
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Qingning received a WeChat message from Lin Lu.
"Ningning, I'm ready to go!"
She was also very conceited and sent a selfie in front of the mirror to share what she was wearing that day.
It's been a bit cold in Hangzhou these days and the temperature has dropped a bit, so Xiaolu put on the scarf that Cheng Zhu gave her again.
Shen Qingning looked at the photo, her eyes resting on the scarf.
She knew that the scarf was given to her by Cheng Zhu. Lulu had mentioned it to her and shared her joy.
If your best friend is in love with the boy she likes, you will have to endure tremendous pain.
Because she will constantly share her things with you.
And only you know the bitter taste of it.
At this moment, Shen Qingning typed: "Going so early?"
"That's right! I've been wanting to eat it for a long time. Now that Cheng Zhu is in Shanghai, let's go eat it secretly!" Lin Lu said.
They are going to eat a hot pot restaurant today.
It is called a small hotpot, but it is made a bit like the spicy hotpot you make yourself.
This shop is small, the food is delicious, and the sauce is homemade, very unique. It is one of Lin Lu’s favorites.
But for some reason, Cheng Zhu would have diarrhea every time he went there to eat, so he insisted that this restaurant was unhygienic.
But Lin Lu and Shen Qingning were also regular customers of this restaurant, so they had no problem eating there.
"Cheng Zhu went to the Magic City?" The arrogant girl looked at the text on her phone and felt like she was struck by lightning.
She didn't know about this before.
It is impossible for Cheng Zhu to report his itinerary to her, and Lin Lu will not always talk about Cheng Zhu's itinerary.
In fact, even when Cheng Zhu was in Hangzhou, she would often ask Shen Qingning to have dinner, do a spa, go shopping, etc.
According to Lin Lu, you can’t put women before friends!
And Shen Qingning has now entered into a very complicated psychological activity, and the reason is very simple.
Didn’t she receive a courier some time ago, which contained tickets for Jay Chou’s concert in Shanghai, and then she tore them up?
The date written on the ticket is today!
(ps: Second update, please vote to keep the first place!
In addition, I would like to recommend a new book by a powerful author with tens of thousands of subscriptions, "The Age of High Martial Arts".
