Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Zhang Xiaoxi drove Wang Ye back to the Wangfu Garden, got out of the car, handed the car key to Wang Ye, and said with a smile:

"Okay, boss, it's been a long day today. You have to drive tomorrow, so just go to bed early and I won't go in and disturb you..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoxi's cell phone rang.

She hesitated for a moment, as if she felt that she shouldn't answer the call in front of Wang Ye, it would be a bit impolite.

Wang Ye didn't care and motioned for her to answer the phone.

Zhang Xiaoxi took out her cell phone, glanced at the caller ID, and frowned.

The phone was connected, and after she said "Hello", she heard a few words spoken on the other side of the phone.

Then he said very simply: "Mr. Liu, didn't I tell you last time? Our company is not interested in investing in e-commerce for the time being. We have our own projects to work on. I was busy and I got hung up..."

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.

He even embarrassedly explained to Wang Ye:

“Hey, in the past two years, many people in China have gone crazy and are engaged in Internet and e-commerce.

The caller was originally selling office supplies, such as printers and CDs.

He is quite down-to-earth, so he supplies all the office supplies used by Liu's head office and my company, so he can be regarded as a semi-acquaintance.

As a result, he has been obsessed with it since last year, insisting on converting his store from offline to online and building e-commerce.

I spent a lot of money to build a website, but ended up running out of money to purchase goods, so I was looking for investment everywhere.

Maybe it was because the name of my asset management company looked like one that was involved in venture capital, so Mr. Liu came to me several times to promote his e-commerce website and wanted me to invest some money in him.

Hey, you said that Mr. Liu is also a top student of the National People's Congress. He has to do something bad and insists on tinkering with these small businesses. "

Wang Ye's heart moved.

Your surname is Liu?

Selling CDs?

Graduates of the National People's Congress!

Could it be that the person Zhang Xiaoxi was talking about was the Great Qiangzi...

That’s a bit interesting!

He thought about it carefully, and it seemed that JD.com was indeed established around 2004.

Of course, it was just a small project at the beginning, and I didn’t even get any financing. It wasn’t until 2007 that I got my first venture capital investment...

The initial stage of Daqiangzi's entrepreneurship can be described as quite miserable.

…………

After Zhang Xiaoxi said those words, she was about to say goodbye and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Wang Ye.

"That... sounds interesting to me. Let's ask him to come over here now and tell him that he has half an hour to promote his website or himself." Wang Ye said with a smile.

Zhang Xiaoxi's mouth opened slightly and her eyes widened, obviously very surprised.

Just kidding, Mr. Liu’s crappy website actually got the opportunity to “sell” it in front of his boss!

The boss actually gave him half an hour...

To be honest, just half an hour from the boss is worth many times more than that broken website!

She really couldn't figure out what in what she just said attracted the boss's attention...

But since Wang Ye has already asked to see Mr. Liu, he will naturally not stand in the way.

I have to remind Mr. Liu later that this opportunity is too rare!

Whether you can reach the sky in one step depends on the half hour tonight...

…………

On the other side, in a dilapidated office building in Zhong G Village, Da Qiangzi was holding his mobile phone with a sad face and flipping through his address book.

He wondered who else he could call to get some venture capital.

To be honest, when he first started doing e-commerce, he didn’t expect it to be so difficult!

Oh, it’s not that e-commerce is difficult to do, the main thing is that e-commerce costs much more than he expected!

I have been running my own store for several years, and relying on the word "integrity", to be honest, my business is doing quite well.

Da Qiangzi has no other tips for doing business. He only has one principle, and that is "genuine goods at a reasonable price"!

In those days, when it came to Zhong G Village, many people might be "frightened"...

Pretending to be genuine, buying and selling by force, or even cheating!

The reputation there has long been ruined!

But Da Qiangzi's store never sells fake goods, and the prices are reliable. They only make the money they should make and are not greedy.

Relying on this, the reputation of the store has been established.

If he keeps running his shop safely and steadily, not to mention becoming a big boss, he can at least gain a foothold in the capital and start a family.

This is already quite remarkable for Da Qiangzi, a child who came from the countryside.

It's a pity that I don't know how to do it. I am obsessed with it and have to learn what others do on the Internet and e-commerce.

It's fine now. All the money I earned from opening the store in the past few years has been invested in it, and the website is now open.

But I don’t have enough money in hand to purchase goods!

This e-commerce website run by Da Qiangzi is different from other websites.

All the products sold on his website are electronic products, which are also known as "3C" products in the industry, and they are all branded products represented by Da Qiangzi himself.

In other words, he needs to pay to purchase goods from manufacturers first, and then sell them on his website after obtaining the goods.

This model has advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is of course that all products have quality assurance and can also provide after-sales service, providing all consumers with a safe and reliable shopping platform to ensure that there will be no fake or shoddy products.

But the disadvantage is that it requires a lot of funds to purchase goods!

After all, he had just started working on this project and was initially cooperating with many brand manufacturers. It was impossible for them to give him too favorable terms for cooperation.

Most products require actual money to purchase.

In the future, if we cooperate for a long time and the business becomes bigger, we may be able to get preferential policies such as "short supply period".

Now Daqiangzi is facing the dilemma of not having many products to sell on the website.

It is actually very simple to solve this problem, that is, get a sum of money through financing, spend the money to purchase goods, and then it will snowball...

But the problem is that this first round of financing is too difficult!

During this period of time, Da Qiangzi was begging his grandpa and grandma to look for people to invest, but he never got one.

The asset company that Zhang Xiaoxi is in charge of is also an old customer of Daqiangzi. Once Daqiangzi went to deliver the goods in person, he was able to see the strength of that asset management company!

It is said that the entire floor of the Guomao Building was bought by an asset management company.

Moreover, in the Xidan business district, a huge new building was purchased to build the largest shopping mall in the entire capital!

Daqiangzi clicked his tongue, how much money would he have to invest in it...

For such a rich company, wouldn't it be enough to use just a little bit of money from the cracks of one's fingers for its own website...

As a result, he called Zhang Xiaoxi several times, but he didn't even see anyone. Zhang Xiaoxi rejected him flatly, saying that he was not interested in his e-commerce website.

…………

Da Qiangzi was frustrated when his cell phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the phone screen and saw that it was Zhang Xiaoxi calling, and Da Qiangzi jumped up.

He quickly answered the phone.

With a smile on his face, he said: "Mr. Zhang, you..."

"Mr. Liu, come immediately to the Wangfu Courtyard in XX Alley. There is a big boss who is interested in your e-commerce website. You have half an hour to introduce your project." On the phone, Zhang Xiaoxi said simply said.

Da Qiangzi was stunned and felt ecstatic in his heart. He quickly asked: "Mr. Zhang, what kind of big boss is he? How big is he?!"

"How old is it? Don't ask so many questions. I can only tell you that it's beyond your imagination! Oh, this big boss is the only shareholder of my company, and my company is just one of his many group companies. The most humble family, do you understand now?" Zhang Xiaoxi said meaningfully.

She is not bragging for Wang Ye, nor is she trying to scare Da Qiangzi, but a kind reminder to make Da Qiangzi realize what kind of opportunity he is facing tonight!

Sure enough, the Great Qiangzi is also a smart man.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately jumped up and rushed into the bathroom to wash his face with cold water to refresh himself.

It's a pity that I didn't have time to change my clothes, so I could only pull them to make them look neater.

He picked up his briefcase, put the website information that he had packed up a long time ago and prepared to show it to interested venture capitalists, and rushed out of the office building.

I came to the roadside and hailed a taxi, "Master, XX Hutong, please hurry up, it's urgent!"

"Okay, please sit down..."

………………

When Da Qiangzi got out of the taxi and stood at the gate of the Wangfu Garden, he stood there in a daze for a long time.

He was rushing over just now and didn't notice what "Prince's Garden" meant.

Now when he arrived at the place, he looked up at the solemn and luxurious pure copper gate and the endless walls on both sides of the gate. Only then did he realize that this courtyard was actually a private residence? !

What kind of background do you have to be able to buy such a yard in the capital!

Thinking of what Zhang Xiaoxi said on the phone just now, "It's bigger than you can imagine"...

The Great Qiangzi's heart beat violently!

…………

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, Da Qiangzi walked into the large living room on the first floor with anxiety.

The bright crystal chandelier dazzled him a little, and the thick and soft wool carpet on the ground made him feel a little heavy when he walked.

Anyway, the whole person was in a fog, like he was in a dream, everything was so unreal.

It wasn't until he stood in front of Wang Ye and Zhang Xiaoxi introduced that this was Mr. "Mikhail" that Da Qiangzi came back to his senses.

Although he was very surprised that the big boss Zhang Xiaoxi was talking about was so young and looked Chinese, but he had a foreign name...

But these questions were suppressed in his heart and he did not dare to express them.

Wang Ye looked at Da Qiangzi, and he was indeed the "Brother Dong" in his impression, but he looked a little more "childish".

This year, Da Qiangzi was still a "young man" less than thirty.

"Sit down, Mr. Liu. I heard from Xiao Xi that you have set up an e-commerce website, mainly selling 3C products, and all of them are self-operated. Can you tell me in detail why you thought of setting up such a website? ?Also, what is the ultimate goal of your business?"

Wang Ye asked with a smile.

Da Qiangzi calmed down, sat upright, and took out a thick pile of information from his briefcase.

A little cautiously, he handed the information to Wang Ye with both hands, "Mr. Mikhail, this is my detailed plan and business model for the website. Look..."

Wang Ye waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "I don't look at these things and make investments. I have never been an investment project, but an investor! In fact, this time I am not interested in your e-commerce website, but after listening to small Xi told me a little bit about you and became a little interested in you, so I asked you to come over."

Da Qiangzi was stunned, are all rich people so weird...

Does the project need any introduction?

Just want to hear yourself say some "empty words" and introduce the so-called "dream"?

But since the big boss asked me to do so, I did it myself.

So, Da Qiangzi organized his language, brewed his emotions, and spoke in a solemn tone:

“I am a child from a rural area.

That year I was admitted to college, the first college student in our village.

In order to send me to college, the whole village...

After arriving at college, other students can enjoy a wonderful college time, but I can't!

I also need to earn living expenses and tuition fees for myself.

So, I started tinkering with business while I was in college...

Later, after making the first pot of gold in my life, I went to Zhong G Village and opened a shop...

Later, I came into contact with e-commerce and believed that this model would definitely defeat or even eliminate physical stores in the future.

Because with just one website, you can do business all over the world!

As for physical stores, you can only do business in one city at most, or even just a few kilometers around...

If I have to tell you a dream, then I hope to sell genuine and good products to people all over the country! "

In fact, the story of the Great Qiangzi is not very attractive, and his dream is not "great" either...

But after Wang Ye listened, he nodded slightly and said without hesitation: "I voted for this project!"

"ah?"

"ah!"

Da Qiangzi and Zhang Xiaoxi exclaimed at the same time.

Both of them felt incredible because Wang Ye was so casual...

Just listened to a "story" told by Da Qiangzi, and invested directly without asking any further questions?

Wang Ye obviously saw their surprise and said with a smile: "Supporting every dream is my investment philosophy. I think Mr. Liu's dream is very real and valuable, so I invested. Liu How much do you need, sir?"

Da Qiangzi extended a slap in the face in confusion, and moved his lips a few times. He was too excited, so he didn't say anything.

Wang Ye nodded and said: "Fifty million US dollars? No problem."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the assistant who had been waiting aside sent over a beautiful check folder and a signature pen.

Wang Ye signed a check with a swipe of his pen!

Brothers, I’m going back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year. I haven’t returned in two years, so there are a lot of things going on, and my body has not fully recovered yet, so the updates in this period may be unstable.

If there is no update after 11 o'clock in the evening, it means there is no update. I’ll make up for it all after the New Year!
