Cold chain for 20 years

Chapter 307 Brother
When Hu Shutong came to Xishan Villa again, it was as quiet as usual. There were still only Guan Wentao and the old housekeeper here. Every time he came here, he felt a sense of isolation.

But this time when he entered the villa, Hu Shutong felt that it was his first time here.Under the stairs, by the window sills, and even in the corners of the dining room and living room, there are many potted flowers placed and hung, such as colophony, red banana, spider plant, and more Hu Shutong that cannot be named.

One side is full of floral fragrance, and the other side is what surprised Hu Shu even more.The living room is filled with the smell of seasoning, and a copper hot pot is boiling on the dining table, surrounded by small plates, including beef and mutton, duck intestines with hairy belly, crab meat and oysters, and shiitake mushrooms with bean skin.

Every time I come here, there is a kind of cold wind. Seeing such a thick smoke and fire is really warming my heart.

"Mingjiang will be terribly cold when it rains this winter, Mr. Hu, why don't we chat about the heat."

Hu Shutong took off his coat and hung it on the wall. When he picked up his briefcase and was about to sit up, he suddenly hung it next to the coat.

Guan Wentao signaled the housekeeper to bring the wine, but unexpectedly the elder slowed down. He took a bottle of white wine and poured a full glass for Hu Shutong. Finally filled.

Hu Shutong is not restrained when drinking and chopsticks.Guan Wentao's impression of Hu Shutong is inseparable from words like deep autumn and winter, but today he has changed a lot, or he has never seen him in such a good mood.

"You should have found out, there are a lot of flowers in my house."

"I guess it must be from Xiaoman."

Guan Wentao smiled and nodded, while looking away, "It's the first time she gave me a gift in more than 20 years, but the flower language she wrote to me is very different from what she said on the Internet. Coleus is fickle, and so is reticulated grass. It’s fickle, but it bothered me for a while.”

Hu Shutong also couldn't help laughing, "I remember that year when you asked me about the prospect of flowers and plants, I was actually not very familiar with them, it was just a judgment in my consciousness, fortunately I was on the right track."

But Guan Wentao said: "I don't really worry about the prospects. At that time, I only knew that you can do everything right. Looking at it step by step, I actually underestimated it at that time."

Hu Shutong didn't say too many courteous words, and raised his wine to toast with a smile.

In the hot pot, mist with different flavors curled up, the fish fillets were rolling one by one, and the bean skin was faintly visible in the red oil. Unknowingly, the pressure on Hu Shutong's journey was relieved.

It's not like in the courtyard or terrace in the past, when you listen to a word, you have to guess what to say, and a minute of silence makes you worry about a wrong sentence, and you have to look at your coffee when you drink coffee.At this moment, it gives people a feeling of being a guest in a down-to-earth place, and the conversation even feels homely.

"I think you should also know that Xiaoman won't be in Minghe. Now she has a career and a bright future. There is nothing more satisfying than this."

Hu Shutong actually didn't quite understand the estrangement between Guan Wentao and Guan Xiaoman. Judging from what Hu Yuntong revealed, the source of the matter should be the struggle between the two mothers.That was all 20 years ago, but the influence on the siblings continues to this day.

"If Xiaoman was just a rich daughter, she would not be able to work with Yuntong. I can see clearly that what she is doing now is what she wants most, and it is what she is willing to pay for for many years to come. It's different, you and I are both elder brothers, the Hu family and the Guan family and I can talk to each other."

Apparently, Guan Wentao's mind is like a bright mirror for the things inside. After thinking about it, Hu Yuntong and Guan Xiaoman have known each other for the fifth year.Guan Wentao's words are very similar to what Hu Shutong said to his younger brother in the past.

How could Guan Wentao's thoughts be unusual, and how could the Hu family's worries not be known? In the end, this matter required him to hand over a word, and as long as he showed his attitude in front of Hu Shutong, just like the plan of the flower garden, Things will go very smoothly.

There are not many things that can make Guan Wentao think about it. The prospect of the flower garden is actually secondary. Basically, he saw the change. When he received Guan Xiaoman's flowers, he didn't know that a bigger flower was blooming in his heart.

In Hu Shutong's case, the devotion to the flower garden is unmatched by any partner. From the beginning, Tongxing's most cutting-edge manpower was invested, and later there was such a thing as the joint construction of the marketing department.Looking back, Hu Shutong and Guan Wentao actually had a tacit understanding.

Another glass of wine was poured, what happened in this villa, the fireworks, wine and meat were the changes that Hu Shutong saw.But for Guan Wentao, it's not like every time he sees it is different, don't look at the person in front of him carrying the same bag every time, and the weight of what is carried in the bag is different every time.

Thinking back to the first meeting, he was still running around for the Nalong Mountain Summit, but now he has been running around in large-scale financing, and it is a separate financing that has nothing to do with the "base camp".This makes people clearly see how fast Tongxing has been in recent years, and people like Guan Wentao always have a pair of invisible eyes to see what he wants to see.

Not long after, Guan Wentao looked up at the briefcase hanging on the wall. This scene was very strange, as if he wanted to talk about everything in detail, and he only needed to look at it from a distance.

"Mammoth can do angel rounds, but the problem is that Mammoth Fund's angel financing sector has a cap when it was established. Even if I give you the highest level, I'm afraid it won't be able to satisfy Tongxing's current appetite."

Hu Shutong understands this point. The amount of angel funds has never been too large. In the system of systematic funds, angel rounds are the most risky, and personal relationships often dominate, and there are many lacks in mechanisms.

Times have changed, and what was applicable in the past may not be sufficient now. As Guan Wentao said, Tongxing's demand is no longer what it used to be.However, logistics is hot nowadays, and investors are still unable to grasp an accurate threshold for distribution and financing, which also means extremely strong space flexibility.

"Have you ever thought about launching the angel round and the A round simultaneously? In this way, I can use the angel round as a stepping stone and use it to start and extend things to the A round. Once it starts, not only Mammoth can open a targeted A round investment fund Yes, you can also get more funds to support your round of financing.”

At this point, I have to admire Guan Wentao's consideration. Hu Shutong didn't say a word about the financing, but the other party has already explained it clearly.

The plan hanging on the wall, the biggest use is there——

Round A battlefield!
