Chapter 453 Something is wrong
"Don't ask. If you want to ask, ask it yourself."
Although she knew what her friend meant, Lou Shuqing did not take the initiative to ask the senior whether he would take them back to Lizhou. This was too ignorant.
No, it should be said that it is too unreserved.
How can a girl be so proactive?
"I'm just embarrassed. Anyway, you're not interested in me, so don't be embarrassed. Xiao Shushu, please."
Faced with her best friend's determination, Shu Na resorted to acting like a spoiled brat.
She knew that with this move, the other party would have no power to resist.
"Okay, okay, I'm scared of you. I'll ask for you."
Unable to stand her friend's behavior, Lou Shuqing rolled her eyes at him and agreed.
However, hearing her good friend so courageously admitting her affection for her senior, Lou Shuqing still felt a little impressed by him.
At least, she couldn't tell.
"What else do you want to eat?"
Back in the box, Zhou Anan looked at the food that had been almost finished and asked with a smile.
"No need, Senior, we are already full."
After hearing the question from the senior student, Shu Na answered with a smile, then glanced at her best friend next to her, her willow-shaped eyebrows twitching.
"Senior, when will you return to Lizhou?"
Noticing her friend's look, Lou Shuqing thought for a moment and asked a question.
"I have some things to do in Hangzhou these two days. Why didn't you buy the train tickets?"
When Zhou Anan heard the question from Lou, the private instructor, she thought that the other party had not bought the ticket.
Of course, he would not take the initiative to ask the other party if he wanted a ride. He was very busy in Hangzhou these days and had no time to go back to his hometown in Lizhou.
Even if I want to go back, I have to go back to Lucheng first, spend two days with my girlfriend, and then go back.
Zhou Anan is very clear about this point.
The relationship with Lou, the private tutor, had ended a few years ago in the previous life.
Men, cherish the present.
"No, it's just that we have a lot of stuff and it's a bit troublesome to take the bus."
Lou Shuqing couldn't bring herself to come up with such an unreliable excuse as not being able to buy a ticket. After all, it was already past the peak holiday season and there were many buses from Hangzhou to Lizhou, so how could she not be able to buy a ticket?
As for the problem of having too many things, Lou Shuqing asked Shu Na to find a solution herself. At worst, she could pack up all the clothes and take them home, and then pack them up again when the time comes.
"Oh, I might not be free until after the 8th. Can you guys wait?"
I didn't expect this to happen. Zhou Anan couldn't find anyone to help take the two beautiful girls back home. It wasn't safe to go with someone he didn't know well, so he just set a time.
If that doesn't work, then they can only mail the items home themselves.
Girlfriend first, career second, nothing wrong with that.
"It's okay. We just happened to be in Hangzhou for a few days. Senior, we'll wait for your call."
Without waiting for Lou Shuqing to speak, Shu Na held her arm and agreed first.
Anyway, if I go home so early, my parents will dislike me in a couple of days. It’s okay to go home a few days later.
It just so happens that they have been studying in Hangzhou for so long and haven’t had any fun.
This arrangement is really perfect.
"Okay, I'll call you then."
Zhou Anan nodded, and seeing that the two were full, she called the waiter to settle the bill.
After dinner, it was impossible to go shopping with them. Before Zhou Anan sent the two junior sisters back to school, she bought them two cups of coffee at Qinglan.
"Nana, I promised my mom that I would go back tomorrow. What do you want me to say?"
While drinking Qinglan coffee, Lou Shuqing looked at her friend who looked very happy with a displeased look.
"What's the matter? I'll tell my aunt."
Shu Na took full responsibility for this issue.
She is also quite familiar with Lou’s mother, so it’s no big deal.
"Then I'll go to the library and borrow some books in the next two days."
Seeing that her friend was so well prepared, Lou Shuqing didn't want to disturb her friend's sweet dream, so she thought of borrowing a few books to pass the next few days.
"Why borrow a book? Let's go to a tourist attraction."
"I have no money."
"Don't you still have more than 2,000 yuan in your bank account? Allah Allah, I promise you, I will go to work with you during the summer vacation. Let's have fun for a few days first, and then work hard to make money."
"Well, don't go back on your word."
"I'm sure it's true."
"You won't lie to me?"
"I won't lie to you."
"Hook."
"Okay, let's make a pinky promise. You won't change for a hundred years. Whoever changes will be a puppy."
"No, whoever changes will never have a boyfriend in his life."
“So poisonous.”
"Is it possible?"
"OK."
"Come on, let's make a pinky promise and don't change. Whoever changes will never have a boyfriend in his life."
“.”
That night, Zhou Anan sat on the windowsill of Room 3111 of Nanzhouyuan, thinking for half the night and making several phone calls before she fell asleep peacefully.
Early in the morning, Zhou Anan ran around the West Lake, had a quick breakfast, and then headed to the Celebrity Network.
All three carriages have arrived. Among the company's shareholders, the two young ladies have fully authorized Zhou Anan to handle the financing matters.
As for TX, after receiving Zhou Anan's promise of being selected for the A round of financing, it did not send any representatives to participate. Anyway, now Mingliu Network is under the control of Zhou Anan, the chairman, and the management team.
"Boss, these are the companies that have been shortlisted so far."
Sitting in the small conference room, Qi Liang handed over a document.
"Um."
Zhou Anan took the document, looked at it, put it down and thought for a few seconds.
"We will first select Qiandu, Shenjian, Hard Silver, and TX, with a valuation of 8 billion and a financing of 1.6 billion."
Pointing his fingers at the table, Zhou Anan selected four investment institutions for the A round.
Zhou Anan spoke calmly and was calm in her heart.
To him, this was just a number, and it could only be a number. Zhou Anan didn't put a penny into her pocket, so what was the point of a big number? She was so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe...
Today is the fourth day since Weike went online. The number of registered users on the Weike website has exceeded 38 million. There is no doubt that it has established its dominant position in the industry. If nothing unexpected happens, it will maintain its dominant position until the market matures.
Also in these short four days, a total of hundreds of venture capital firms came to negotiate and wanted to give money to Weike. The conditions were better than each other, and Weike had to pick and choose who to collect the money from.
Qiandu and TX can both direct traffic to Weike in the future. Originally, their roles were somewhat overlapping, but Zhou Anan has already promised Mr. Mai from TT.
Moreover, without the help of TX, Mingliu Network would not be where it is today.
Excalibur Capital has the capital background of the United States and Europe, and can contribute to Weike's entry into America and Europe. Hardbank Capital's influence covers the whole of Asia and many developing countries, which will be of great help to Weike in the future.
Now is the time when the Internet bubble is at its worst. With the popularity of Kaixinxin Farm and the unstoppable development momentum of Weke, the valuation of Mingliu Network has been greatly exceeded. If it were after the Internet bubble bursts next year, this valuation would be good at one-fourth of it.
You know, next year TX's shares plummeted, its market value was cut by more than half, and the Internet almost entered a winter.
In a nutshell, the major venture capital firms today are all money-giving boys to emerging Internet companies.
"OK."
After hearing the boss's decision, Qi Liang did not refute but nodded in agreement.
Although the shares of several of their senior executives were diluted, their net worth more than tripled.
The most important thing is that the last time the big boss and TX exchanged equity, all the valuations of the company were false, but this time the financing really made their net worth reach the level of billionaires, and they have reached this level several times.
"I want to ask for your advice on something. I am planning to set up another company."
Looking at the three excited carriages, Zhou Anan waited for them to be happy for a minute before expressing her thoughts.
According to this ratio, he will have to give up 20% of his existing equity, which means that his existing equity will be diluted by about 20%.
Originally, after selling some shares, only 48% of the 60% shares remained, but the share valuation increased from 1.2 billion to nearly 4 billion, which was considered a capital myth. Zhou Anan was so happy that she couldn't sleep.
However, there was an important issue, which almost kept Zhou Anan awake last night. He had lost the sole controlling stake in Mingliu Network.
However, after consulting professionals, Zhou Anan has come up with a solution, which is to integrate his shares, the shares of the two young ladies and the three senior executives, and set up another company to hold 64% of the shares of Mingliu Network.
Zhou Anan can maintain absolute controlling rights in the celebrity network by holding a controlling stake in the new company.
The celebrity network is Zhou Anan's only chance to fight against the pressure from the Yu family. He will never allow the controlling stake to fall into the hands of others.
"That's fine with me."
As a technology geek who only cares about wealth appreciation, Pan Shaofu was the first to express his support.
"I agree."
"I agree."
Qi Liang and Jin Feng looked at each other and both agreed with the boss's opinion on consolidating the shares.
Compared to being on the verge of bankruptcy and unemployment a few months ago, their current wealth and status were all given by this big boss. People should not forget their roots.
What's more, this plan does not involve any loss for them.
"Okay, then I'll have someone handle this matter. Mr. Qi, please follow up on the financing negotiations with several capital companies."
Zhou Anan expressed satisfaction with the reactions of the three carriages.
It was precisely because of the support and enthusiasm of the three people for Mingliu Network that Zhou Anan gave them power and did not interfere in the company's specific affairs.
Although the three of them were somewhat idealistic in the management of the company and the beautiful secretary received many complaints from employees and even middle-level managers, Zhou Anan suppressed them all.
No one is perfect, and the three pillars are rapidly changing as the company grows to adapt to the increasingly huge capital.
As long as the three people have no ulterior motives, Zhou Anan will not take away power. At most, she will make the responsibilities of the company's departments clearer to make up for the lack of abilities of several people.
"Boss, you should just call me Lao Qi. I'm not used to this name."
After hearing the big boss's shout, Qi Liang said somewhat embarrassedly.
In front of ordinary employees, he must of course maintain his dignity and is also very comfortable with the title of "General Manager".
But since the big boss had shouted it out, he had to correct his attitude.
"You're already worth hundreds of millions, you can't just call yourself old. Come on, go get some work."
Seeing Qi Liang's reaction, Zhou Anan laughed and waved his hand to let them adjourn.
"OK."
After the meeting, Qi Liang immediately rushed back to the office to send the minutes of the meeting to TX, and contacted several companies to discuss financing matters.
As the company grew, the things he had to do increased exponentially.
However, for Qi Liang, who is about to enter the ranks of people worth hundreds of millions, nothing is a problem.
After the meeting ended simply and neatly, Zhou Anan looked at the time. It was only 9 o'clock, which was really a bit early.
Zhou Anan has to attend the preview of Blue Whale Entertainment's first movie tomorrow afternoon, so he can't go back to Lucheng. He doesn't have to deal with the financing of Mingliu Network, and he can't handle it either.
The other companies were the same with or without him. Zhou Anan suddenly found that after being busy for a while, he had nothing to do for such a long time and he was a little uncomfortable.
Hey, why would he have such an idea?
As soon as Zhou Anan finished expressing her feelings, she felt something was wrong.
