Chapter 97 The Woman Being Played
The dust of Mobike’s financing has settled, and Lu Liang is ready to leave.
But before leaving, he saw that there was no one around Shen Peng, so he decided to go over and say hello out of politeness.
"Lu Liang, I thought you wouldn't come over." Shen Peng smiled broadly and was very approachable.
Lu Liang smiled and said: "Mr. Shen, just now there were too many people so I didn't come over to join in the fun. Now I just came here because there were so few people."
Although it was Mobike’s financing reception, there were also many entrepreneurs looking for investment.
After all, there are usually so many big guys gathering here. If someone takes a fancy to it, the investment of several million would just be a waste of money.
As a leading figure in the domestic venture capital industry, Shen Peng has an endless stream of people taking the initiative to show his favor, but now there are fewer talents around him.
Shen Peng laughed: "Mr. Lu, this sounds a bit blaming."
"If Mr. Shen feels that way, then I have nothing to say."
Lu Liang smiled indifferently. He came to say hello purely out of politeness to his seniors and also wanted to ask for advice.
If Shen Peng regarded him as one of those people who showed good will, then everyone would have nothing to talk about.
Shen Peng adjusted his glasses, squinted his eyes, and put away his contempt: "Xiao Tang, how are you doing lately?"
"Xiao Tang?" Lu Liang was confused.
Shen Peng explained: "Tang Caidi was recruited by me before at Sequoia, and she followed me for a few years. Later I went to Yanjing, and she stayed in the Magic City. I heard about her again. Already resigned.”
"It's good. With Mr. Tang helping me manage the company, I feel much more relaxed."
Lu Liang couldn't help but look at Shen Peng. He was only in his forties and fifties this year.
Tang Caidi is thirty-seven. Although she has some wrinkles, she can still tell that she was like a flower when she was young.
Shen Peng's eyes were unkind and he coughed several times, interrupting Lu Liang's unwarranted associations.
Lu Liang recovered his thoughts and asked with a smile: "Mr. Shen, there is something I don't understand. Can you help me clarify it?"
"Speak."
The original kindness on Shen Peng's face was no longer there, because he saw the shadow of an acquaintance in Lu Liang.
Zhu Hu from Jinshajiang, the two are known as the big and small kings in the investment world. Although they are also good friends, it does not prevent him from liking Zhu Hu.
Zhu Hu lives up to his name as a tiger, and also likes to make some dirty jokes, which often makes him unable to get off stage.
Lu Liang humbly asked for advice: "Why did Sequoia sign a legal contract with Mobike?"
Although Li Bing is awesome, he boasts that he forced Sequoia to invest in Mobike.
You can only believe half of this. No matter how awesome Li Bing is, he is definitely not as awesome as Shen Peng. The two are not on the same level at all.
Even if Lei Jun saw Shen Peng, he would have to call him "Senior".
In the past twenty years, if we were to rank the most outstanding venture capitalists, Shen Peng would rank second, and absolutely no one would dare to rank first.
With the size of Sequoia Capital, it is completely possible to forcefully suppress the boss and the second boss, so that they can only accept it, so that they can sit back and watch the tiger fight, and have the last laugh.
There is no need to stick to Mobai alone and leave no escape route for yourself.
Shen Peng smiled: "Mr. Lu, if I say that Sequoia invested in Mobike, the process is not the result, do you believe it?"
"Mr. Shen said it, I will naturally Letter." Lu Liang's mind was racing. Whose process was this?
Suddenly, he thought of the Thousand Regiments War a few years ago. Meituan should be Shen Peng’s largest investment in recent years.
Meituan invests in tens of millions of dollars each time, while Mobai’s investment is just a drop in the bucket.
Investments are often accompanied by gambling contracts. If you want Sequoia to endorse a single bet, Mobike should pay the price of changing hands if it loses.
Based on what Shen Peng said, investing in Mobike is just a process. Maybe Sequoia has already communicated with Meituan and is ready to take over Mobike in the future.
Once Meituan takes over Mobike, Shen Peng’s Meituan shares will increase in value significantly. After all, Meituan is Shen Peng’s core investment project in recent years.
"Thank you, Mr. Shen." Lu Liang's attitude was very humble. He benefited a lot from today's financing reception.
Real bosses use an industry as a chess piece, and it is not even the key chess piece that determines the winner.
Li Bing used Mobike to pave the way for Weilai Automobile. Shen Peng was even more ruthless. He had just found a good seller after investing in Series A.
Shen Peng was surprised. He didn't expect Lu Liang to guess it so quickly, and praised: "You will become a very good investor."
"Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your kind words." Lu Liang Liang smiled and had something to ask, but Shen Peng no longer wanted to answer: "I'm leaving."
He looked at Lu Liang for a long time, glared hard, and said angrily: "Wouldn't it be inappropriate if I asked you to take the initiative to ask for your contact information?"
"How dare you, I just thought about what you said and didn't react for a while." Lu Liang explained quickly, dumbfounded.
The two exchanged contact information, and Shen Peng was about to leave. Before leaving, he suddenly said: "Jinshajiang Lao Zhu is not a good person."
"Please remember this, junior." Lu Liang suddenly felt confused, why did he look at Shen Peng's eyes? Saw a weird smile.
I just want to ask, Shen Peng has left.
“Ofo’s financing next Friday seems to be uneven.”
Lu Liang thought about it for a long time, but couldn’t figure out the reason, so he simply didn’t get into trouble.
The soldiers came to block it, the water came to cover it up,
it seemed like someone was a good person. After Lu Liang greeted Li Bing and was about to leave, Hu Weiwei suddenly stepped forward quickly: "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry."
"Mr. Hu doesn't need to say sorry, if it were me , I would do the same, it’s understandable,” Lu Liang said with a smile.
"Thank you, are you leaving? I'll see you off." Hu Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief, worried that Lu Liang would have a grudge.
"There is no need to send them off. After all, there are still many guests at the venue who need you to receive them."
"Okay, Mr. Lu, please go slowly."
"Well, bye."
Lu Liang suddenly felt that Hu Weiwei was a little pitiful, being played between two men, or even three men.
Mobai, which she founded and worked hard for, will probably not belong to her in the end. She may get a huge fortune, but what's the use?
Hu Weiwei with Mobai is a domineering and beautiful CEO, but without Mobai, Hu Weiwei is just a rich woman.
Leaving the banquet hall on the sixth floor, Lu Liang took Wen Chao downstairs of the hotel and saw Fang Shiyu sitting on the sofa in a daze from a distance.
Seeing Lu Liang coming over, he hurriedly stood up, as tall as an iron pillar: "Mr. Lu, are you done?"
Yesterday Chen Jinchun taught him a lot, among which This is how he is called when he meets Lu Liang. At least some outsiders want to call him Mr. Lu.
Lu Liang nodded slightly and looked at Wen Chao: "Xiao Wen, go back to the company first and hand the subscription documents to Mr. Tang."
Wen Chao nodded and left. Lu Liang hugged his old cousin, sat next to him, and asked with a smile: "How are you feeling today?"
"A little free."
Fang Shiyu responded in a muffled voice. , very upright.
He stayed in the lobby all afternoon and didn't like to play with his mobile phone. He could only be in a daze.
“What else?” Lu Liang suppressed a smile.
"Still a little uncomfortable." Fang Shiyu tugged on his collar.
Chen Jinchun bought him a few suits. Although they fit well, his chest muscles were too developed, making his shirt bulge.
Lu Liang couldn't help laughing and patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go, I'll buy you some more suits later, and don't wear suits anymore."
He didn't even It is stipulated that the company must wear formal attire. Who knows what Chen Jinchun was thinking, dressing up his old cousin like a gangster.
"Okay." Fang Shiyu showed a simple and honest smile, which was in sharp contrast to his strong appearance.
Lu Liang found a Nike store on the roadside and bought some pairs of sweatpants and some Polo shirts.
I just realized that I really can’t blame Chen Jinchun, after all, he is 189cm tall and weighs 206kg.
He can cook five bowls of rice in one meal, and his body type is there. Even if he wants to keep his strength low, he is not allowed to do so.
No matter how I dress, he looks like a black man, so I simply give up and just let him wear something more comfortable.
"Brother, are you going home?" Fang Shiyu changed into new clothes and felt his breathing became easier. He was dumb and couldn't speak, so he could only keep Lu Liang's kindness to him silently in his heart.
"Go... or not, go to the community in Lane 306, Changle Road."
Lu Liang was about to go home when he suddenly remembered that Zhang Qian's store opened today. I sent him a message last night, but because Mobike wanted to raise funds, he forgot about it.
Fang Shiyu set the navigation, it was the peak time for getting off work, and it was already seven o'clock in the evening when he arrived at Changle Road.
Vehicles could not enter the crowded pedestrian street, so the two brothers had to enter on foot.
Fang Shiyu walked next to Lu Liang, feeling extremely oppressive. Pedestrians passing by automatically gave way to one meter.
Lu Liang joked: "Yu, please don't hire a bodyguard."
"Brother, I can also be your bodyguard." Fang Shiyu looked serious.
"Okay, I'll rely on you to protect me from now on." Lu Liang smiled, obviously not taking it seriously.
"Okay." Fang Shiyu nodded solemnly.
During the conversation, the singing of "Good Days" came.
There is a new fast food restaurant called Hao Shi Yuan at the intersection ahead. Zhang Qian, wearing trousers, a shirt and a custom-made apron, was busy in the store.
There are five or six employees in the store, and there are more than 20 sets of tables and chairs. Each table can seat four people. It is almost full. It can be seen that the business today is very good.
I’m just not sure if they were attracted by the opening offer. After all, there was a banner hanging at the door that offered half price for the first three days and a small bottle of Coke.
Lu Liang turned around and asked, "Are you hungry?"
"Hungry." Fang Shiyu nodded.
He didn't cherish his words like gold, but he had this kind of personality. Lu Liang was used to it: "Let's go and eat."
Lu Liang walked in and passed by Zhang Qian. She lowered her head and was busy closing the dishes. Zi wiped the table and didn't notice Lu Liang coming over.
Lu Liang smiled and did not disturb her. He took a plate himself and helped Fang Shiyu get another one.
He had seen his cousin's appetite yesterday. He probably couldn't fit a plate of food into it.
