Hao Yun left.
He said he wanted to go back and brush up on PPT and make up for the lessons he owed over the past few days.
To be honest, Zhang Tao really admires this student in his class. The 20 million financing project is like going to the canteen to have a bowl of rice, without any emotional waves.
Before leaving, Hao Yun left a business card with the address of Yunmeng Group and asked him to chat more with the person named Lin Jun.
That person is the CEO of Yunmeng Investment, and he is a rising star in the financial circle recently and an investment master with a bright future. At that time, the talented person will communicate with him the details of the contract and follow up on their project throughout the process.
With that person's help, their dreams will take wings!
The office door closed, cutting off the sight of Hao Yun leaving.
Looking back at the altered plan in his hand, Zhang Tao felt as if he was sleepwalking.
Twenty million…
The fists holding the plan were clenched.
Zhang Tao swore in his heart that he would never live up to the students' expectations of him, and he must spend every penny wisely!
At this time, the office door opened.
A man wearing a plaid shirt and square glasses walked in.
This person is one of the partners of the Modern Bicycle start-up team and is also a doctoral student led by Li Guoping, dean of Jiangcheng University's School of Software Engineering. His name is Yu Jie. The two were buddies in the same dormitory when they were undergraduate students, and now they are starting a business together.
"Brother Tao, what are you doing? I sent you several WeChat messages but you didn't reply. The R&D team has made new progress. We have solved the problem of smart locks and software interfaces... What are you doing? ?”
Looking at the plan in Zhang Tao's hand, Yu Jie was slightly stunned for a moment. He walked forward and took the plan over, flipping it over twice and frowning suddenly.
"Fifty thousand bicycles will be launched in the first phase... 20 million in one round of financing? Bro, what are you daydreaming about!"
This is 20 million!
Not two thousand dollars.
Their initial thought was that it would be good if they could raise 1 million. The reason why they wrote 4 million in the plan was just to leave room for bargaining.
After all, there is only a half-finished APP and a few PPTs for this kind of project that has not been seen. There are too few investors with so much money that they are willing to invest in such a project!
"...This is not a dream."
"What?" The voice was too soft and Yu Jie didn't hear it clearly, so he asked subconsciously.
"... I said this is not a dream," Zhang Tao slowly raised his head, looked at his good brother, took a deep breath and said, "Someone is willing to invest in our project and plans to finance us with 20 million."
"Are you crazy..." Yu Jie was stunned for a moment, stretched out his right hand, and put the back of his hand on his forehead, but his hand was held.
"I'm not crazy! What I said is true," Zhang Tao's voice became more and more excited, "That person is Hao Yun, Mr. Hao of Yunmeng Group!"
"Hao, Hao Yun?!" Hearing this name, Yu Jie was stunned and looked at Zhang Tao in disbelief, "What the hell?! Are you serious? But, how could he be optimistic about our project?" ?”
"have no idea!"
Zhang Tao looked out the window and continued with emotion.
"Maybe... you were moved by my determination and ability!"
Yu Jie looked stunned and forgot to complain about him.
Zhang Tao paused for a moment, turned back to look at his good brother Yu Jie, and said in a serious tone.
"Tomorrow I will go to the Yunmeng Group headquarters in the Chengnan Entrepreneurship Park to discuss the specific contract with the CEO of Yunmeng Investment."
Yu Jie swallowed and said, "Do you need me to go with you?"
"No need," Zhang Tao shook his head, looked at him and continued, "I have a more important task for you."
Yu Jie said nothing.
From the look in his good brother's eyes, he had already guessed what he was going to say, so he just gave him an encouraging look and reached out to pat his shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'm here with the R&D team!"
Zhang Tao nodded gratefully.
"Well, I'll leave it to you to develop the app!"
As he spoke, he walked to the office window in high spirits and clenched his fists.
"Now that the funds have been secured, I want to strive to complete the software within three days! There are also cooperative bicycle manufacturers and smart lock equipment manufacturers. I will contact them later to arrange production!"
"Everyone will be very busy in the next few days!"
…
The next day, Zhang Tao brought the plan revised by Mr. Hao himself to the downstairs of Yunmeng Group Company. A young man in formal clothes with hair wax on his head came up to receive him with a smile.
"You're finally here! Welcome!"
"You are so polite. You actually came downstairs to pick me up. In fact, I can just go up by myself." Looking at Mr. Lin who was so enthusiastic about him, Zhang Tao looked flattered.
Those who don’t know this may misunderstand who invests in whom.
"No, no, actually I just arrived at the company, so I waited downstairs for a while." As he spoke, Lin Jun looked at the elevator in front of him with emotion, "Thanks to you, I'm finally back!"
Zhang Tao: "...?"
Not quite understanding the bitterness in the CEO's tone, Zhang Tao followed him all the way to the office of Yunmeng Investment.
The secretary in charge of sorting out the documents made a pot of tea for the two of them. After Lin Jun politely asked Zhang Tao to sit down, he took the plan from him, flipped through it, and suddenly said with praise.
"Wonderful! It's really wonderful!"
"Uh, thank you." Zhang Tao said sheepishly after taking a sip of tea.
"No, I'm talking about our boss's vision." Lin Jun placed the plan on the coffee table and continued energetically in front of Zhang Tao, who looked astonished. "I read the plan and I still feel... Be conservative!”
"Are you still being conservative?" Zhang Tao was stunned for a moment and said nervously, "There can't be more. Fifty thousand bicycles is already the limit of our management. An additional twenty million may not be enough."
"No," Lin Jun shook his head and continued, "What I mean by being conservative is not the quantity you put in, but the positioning of your products."
"... Product positioning?" Zhang Tao said confused.
"That's right!" Lin Jun snapped his fingers and continued with a smile on his face, "Compared to the transportation tools on campus, I am more optimistic about the potential of this project in solving the 'last mile of commuting' problem!"
“…the last mile of your commute?”
Confused by this unheard of concept, Zhang Tao looked at Jun Lin in confusion, waiting for his explanation.
"Let me give you an example. From school to here, you have to go through four subway stops, plus one kilometer from the school dormitory to the subway station, and one kilometer after getting off the subway to the location of Yunmeng Group, right?"
Zhang Tao nodded.
"Yes what's the matter?"
Lin Jun: "Then how do you deal with the journey before getting on and off the subway?"
The expression on Zhang Tao's face was a little subtle.
"Well, actually I came here by taxi."
Because it is too troublesome to walk from the school to the door, take the subway and then transfer to the bus one stop away. Calculated, it may not save a few dollars, but it will also waste a lot of time.
"It's not important!" Lin Jun stared at him with bright eyes and continued, "Imagine how you would solve this commute if you didn't take a taxi and only relied on the subway to commute!"
"What else can we do to solve the problem? Of course we leave..."
As he spoke, Zhang Tao suddenly stopped.
A hint of understanding gradually emerged in his eyes!
yes…
If you have to take the subway, the journey between getting on and off the subway is really inconvenient.
The distance from the student dormitory to the subway station is not just one kilometer. This journey takes at least fifteen minutes by walking and six or seven minutes by running.
But if you are riding a bike...
Maybe three to five minutes is enough!
Seeing Zhang Tao's eyes gradually changing, Lin Jun knew that he finally understood what he meant, and secretly thought that a boy can be taught.
With a slight smile, he stood up and continued confidently.
"The application scenarios of shared bicycles should not be limited to the road from student dormitories to canteens and libraries! And what we want to do is definitely not just a transportation tool on campus, but something that can truly benefit the entire society. !”
As soon as he said this, the whole project's structure suddenly changed.
Looking up at Mr. Lin who stood up, Zhang Tao's eyes lit up, as if he had seen a bright light.
No!
This metaphor is not apt enough!
It should be said to be a beacon guiding the course!
At this moment, he completely believed the two words Hao Yun said to him in the office at that time -
"That man is my right-hand man, and you can trust him completely."
“His advice will give wings to your dreams!”
