Chapter 1388: Recruiting
Xiao Qianxi naturally skipped class again. By the time she got up, washed, packed up, had a simple meal and returned to school, it was already noon.

"Hey, Qianxi is back." Xie Qiao was the first to see it, with a blazing fire of gossip in his eyes.

"Don't mention it. I feel a little different from before. I feel more energetic." Xu Lin stared at Xiao Qianxi, then turned to look at Wang Ying, "Don't you agree, Miss?"

Wang Ying wanted to roll her eyes out: "Whatever you say is true."

"It's really boring." Xu Lin felt bored. The eldest lady was no longer cute. She asked again, "Where's Wang Yan? Why is there no movement?"

Xiao Qianxi was very open and not embarrassed at all. He took out oranges from his pocket and shared them with them. "The company has just completed financing. He has a lot of things to deal with. He said that the school leaders have asked him to attend a meeting today."

"Qianxi, you are awesome." Xie Qiao gave a thumbs up. She didn't know what to say, but she felt she had to say something.

Xiao Qianxi glanced at her and realized that she was not being sarcastic. She smiled and said, "Didn't we talk about this before?"

Xu Lin shook his head: "You are too quick, are you sending yourself out like this?"

"It's only a matter of time, so it's better to do it sooner rather than later. Yesterday was such an important moment in his life..."

The meaning of Xiao Qianxi's words was self-evident. She gave everyone a look that said "you all understand" and then asked, "The teacher didn't mark me as absent, right?"

"No, I answered all your questions." Xu Lin said, "So what are your plans for the future? Will you concentrate on starting your own business with Wang Yan?"

"He told me to finish my studies and do whatever I want to do, and he supports me." Xiao Qianxi smiled and shook his head, "So the most urgent thing is to study hard, and then go to help him when you have time, just like before. What about you? Have you decided what to study?"

"I've thought about it." Xu Lin came over and put his arm around Xiao Qianxi's shoulders. "I don't know about the two of them, but as for me, you, the boss lady, are here. Why should I think so much? I'll go with you. You help Wang Yan and I'll help you. I can also learn a lot by the way."

"That's great, that's settled." Xiao Qianxi nodded, then walked to his table and sat down.

The three girls noticed the unnatural way she moved, but they knew better than to continue discussing this topic...

The company's financing was a big deal. It had only been two days since the contract was signed, but the financial news had already reported it. Of course, even if the financial news didn't report it, Wang Yan had to spend money to buy articles and have them written for Zhiwo.com.

Obtaining venture capital funding means that the company is favored by capital and has great development potential, and it also means that the company will be known by more people.

In particular, the valuation of Zhiwo.com was very high, reaching 10 million US dollars. In fact, it was only about 5 or 6 million US dollars at best. Many Internet practitioners racked their brains but could not figure out why Zhiwo.com was worth so much.

Of course the news got out, it came from the venture capital side. After all, they invest all over the country and have a strong network of contacts in related industries.

For example, the famous partner of IDG, Xiong Xiaoge, has led many successful investments, such as the famous Sohu and Tencent, and even a lot of film and television investments. If you write a novel about rebirth and entrepreneurship in the Internet, he is one of the must-write characters.

He said that Wang Yan was the most deceptive person he had ever seen, but when he was deceiving people, he still made them feel sincere...

Everyone knows that this is a joke, but it also indirectly proves the ability of this college student and has won the recognition of capital. But it is definitely not the reason for overestimating so much.

No one believed that the investors had been deceived. They all thought that Zhiwo.com still had some untapped trump cards. Everyone’s attention was focused on Zhiwo.com, which had been gaining popularity recently…

In fact, there is no big move, it's just a step-by-step development.

Maintain the current basic base, iterate new features, continue to promote new users, and increase daily activity. The current school beauty event is still ongoing. The one in Beijing has ended, but other places have just started. However, there is still some distance to go before reaching the 100 schools.

But there is no doubt that this has become an absolutely explosive hot topic among the current college students. The same college students have started their own businesses and chose the campus belle who enrolled in the new millennium. No matter how you look at it, it is representative.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the campus belle voted out by a famous university is destined to have a good future. If a hundred schools vote and only one is chosen, what value would that have?

Therefore, college students are actively promoting and participating, and the number of registered users is growing rapidly.

Coupled with the disclosed financing information, the company has advertised again. People who didn’t pay much attention to it last time are paying attention to it this time, and people who paid attention to it last time are starting to recommend it this time. Users are rapidly increasing.

After Wang Yan met with the school leaders, the company's office space was expanded. After all, the school held a stake, they had 10%, and after this round of financing dilution, they still had 8%.

At present, Wang Yan’s achievements are enough for the leaders to write about in great detail. The school has provided office space, office computers, interest-free loans, allowed the website to be promoted on campus, and allowed events to be held. All of these are the initial strong support.

The current profit is 800,000 US dollars.

At the same time, there are many college students working part-time in the company, and various high-quality papers that will appear are a step forward for progress.

Especially since the Internet is an emerging industry and emerging technology, it is quite representative that students from Peking University and Tsinghua University have established such an Internet company. This once again proves the strength of Peking University and Tsinghua University.

Peking University and Tsinghua University stood with their hands on their hips and looked at the Ministry of Finance with confidence, slamming the table and saying, "Add money! You must add money! Increase it by 10%!"

But this time Wang Yan needed office space, so he had to pay for it, and he also had to pay for water and electricity in the future. But the price was very cheap, which was equivalent to another subsidy from Peking University and Tsinghua University.

At the same time, it was agreed that the job could be used until Wang Yan graduated. If the company had grown too fast before then, then he would leave as soon as possible. If it had not grown too fast, then he would slowly look for a job outside.

Even the school leaders expressed strong confidence in Wang Yan. They took out the land auction documents of the Beijing Municipal Government, drew a line on the map for Wang Yan, and talked about the future development policies of Beijing, encouraging him to buy a piece of land in Beijing before graduating from university...

The principal is indeed confident because Wang Yan is really awesome.

If the company continues along the previous development path, by the time Wang Yan graduates from university, the company might even be listed...

After meeting with his leader, he returned to the company to make some arrangements for the next work, and also finalized the subsequent recruitment plan. He asked someone to send it to the newspaper office. It was almost noon, so he went to a restaurant in Zhongguancun.

That's right, it was still the same restaurant, and the good brother had been waiting there long ago. "Hey, brother, you are really amazing now." Liu Qiangdong came up to him enthusiastically and took the initiative to light a cigarette for Wang Yan.

A hero is judged by his origin, and a rogue is judged by his age. After all, Wang Yan has lived for more than a thousand years and he still can't forget what happened at the time.

When making friends, it is natural to go first with the experienced. Last time, Wang Yan was a college student working part-time in Zhongguancun selling computers. Today, more than three months later, Wang Yan has become a rising star in the Internet industry, worth tens of millions, and is no longer an ordinary person.

Wang Yan took a puff of his cigarette and said, "It's not that great, but I'm lucky to have caught up with a good time. If I was born eighteen years earlier, there would be no Internet. If I was born eighteen years later, the Internet industry would have been well-structured and it would be difficult to interfere."

"Brother, you can always make it happen. I'll supply you with computers and make a lot of money in the past three months. Not everyone can do this."

Liu Qiangdong led Wang Yan to the private room and asked the waiter to serve the dishes. "Brother, I've deposited the money today, so you can't pay the bill later. Oh, yes, let's not drink too much today, just half a catty each, I'm really scared."

"Okay, Brother Dong." Wang Yan nodded with a smile.

After a while, dishes were served. Liu Qiangdong poured wine for Wang Yan. He toasted Wang Yan to celebrate the successful financing and his net worth of tens of millions.

"Brother, what are your plans for the future?"

Wang Yan glanced at him and said, "Brother Dong, I think we shouldn't discuss how I developed now. Instead, it is necessary to discuss how you plan to develop next."

"What do you mean?"

"Look at you. You encouraged me to talk about the Internet before, but now I have done it, and you are silent? You don't really intend to keep supplying me with computers, do you? Brother Dong, you have to understand the principle of business. No matter how good our relationship is, I can't keep asking you for computers. After all, you are also a middleman, and you still make a profit from the price difference. The price is actually not affordable.

Zhiwo.com is now developing on a fast track. Even if I don't spend money on promotion, relying solely on the user fission from the campus beauty voting event, we will be able to break through two million users before the new year.

Although this is nationwide data, what if I mainly promote Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei? Now the company has 16 million in its account. If I can win the users in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, open up the channels, and promote distribution and after-sales, my bargaining space will be larger. By then, those provincial dealers will not be as powerful as me. How can you manage with more than a dozen counters?
And you only do burning, hard disks, and complete machines, which is too narrow. Now I am already selling mobile phones, Walkmans and other electronic products. Think about it, how far can you go? "

Liu Qiangdong was silent for a while, absorbed it, frowned and asked: "Brother, what do you mean?"

"Follow me."

Wang Yan raised his glass and drank with Liu Qiangdong, ate a few bites of food and said, "I have told you about Youxiang.com before, but you may not know how it works.

In the past, your computer was actually purchased from Youxiang.com, and then Youxiang.com advertised and sold the computer on Zhiwo.com. They were two separate operations. This time, the financing was only for Zhiwo.com. Youxiang.com has not moved yet.

You can just sell your belongings, keep the money you spend, and invest the rest in Youxiang.com. I will give you 20% of the shares. You can build this business, enrich the product categories, build a logistics system, and provide good after-sales service. The valuation of Youxiang.com can only go up, not down. By the end of next year, I guarantee that you will have a net worth of tens of millions, and within three years, you will have a net worth of over 100 million. Do you believe it, Brother Dong?"

"letter!"

Liu Qiangdong nodded heavily, "But you've entrusted me with such a big task. To be honest, I'm afraid I can't handle it."

"Understood. If you don't sell your belongings, I'll give you 5% of the shares and you can work hard."

"No, brother, that's not what I meant."

"Hey, Dong Ge, it doesn't matter whether you mean this or not. As a brother, I have to understand your difficulties. All your money is invested in the goods, and you have several mouths to feed at home. There are also various favors to be asked in the village. I know it's difficult for you.

But you have to come. You and I are so compatible brothers. We can't do without you when we are doing big things. I think you can do it. You can accomplish great things. Brother Dong, I am confident in leaving it to you. Besides, I am not letting you do it blindly. One person can make plans for the short and two can make plans for the long. However, you are mainly responsible for implementation. I will give advice, find solutions, and control the general direction.

Um...what is that position...Oh, yes, president! Brother Dong, you are the president of Youxiang.com."

After another moment of silence, Liu Qiangdong gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, since you trust me so much, let's do it. It may take me a month to deal with the current counters and the backlog of inventory. I can get about 2 million from Youxiang.com..."

"Don't worry, take your time." Wang Yan shook his head. "I've sold you all the computers. Take your time selling them at the counter. Don't do it at a loss. Make as much money as you can. You don't have to fire the staff in your company. All of them can follow you to Youxiang.com. Apart from anything else, the after-sales staff there are still very good. If the company needs to develop, it doesn't make much difference whether you support one person or a group of people.

Come, Brother Dong, have a drink, and wish us success and prosperity soon.”

"Let's do it!" Liu Qiangdong got excited.

In the following period of time, Wang Yan was the big liar again, painting a rosy picture of the future for Liu Qiangdong, who really listened to him and wanted to sell his assets.

Of course, it seems like a big deal now, but what he said was always true.

He talked to Liu Qiangdong about the future development direction and business strategy of Youxiang.com. There was nothing surprising about it. It was just taking out what his good brother had done more than a year in advance and asking him to do it again. There were some individual differences, but in general, it was no more than an e-commerce website.

It is mainly through the collaboration with Zhiwo.com. Relying on the traffic from Zhiwo.com, we gradually enrich the product categories of Youxiang.com, improve the after-sales service system, warehousing and logistics system, and occupy the market by relying on favorable prices, good quality and good service.

Although Liu Qiangdong said he would only drink one bottle and never drink more, men's mouths are deceitful and he gets drunk as soon as he drinks. Wang Yan didn't need to persuade him to drink at all, he just gulped down the wine and drank it fiercely, and imagined the future happily with Wang Yan.

The meal lasted from noon to night, and Liu Qiangdong got drunk again. In the end, Wang Yan had no choice but to pay the difference in the meal bill.

Just like last time, he called Liu Qiangdong's men to come and take the person away, and he took a taxi back to school.

Xiao Qianxi called and asked him if he wanted to have dinner together in the evening.

Obviously, on the first day of a sudden change in relationship, you have to eat even if you don’t want to…

I would like to thank the good brothers who give rewards, vote for monthly tickets, recommend tickets, and read books silently for their strong support!
