Lin Lin's words made Li Mu so surprised that he couldn't add anything to it.
Babyface will actually exist in the future, and Lin Lin also said that it was the name she helped give to a child, so it is very possible that the Babyface in future generations was created by Lin Lin's child.
I heard about it and played it in Babyface, so I thought of mentioning this name. I didn’t expect to meet the real owner.
Everyone else present was also surprised. Li Mu thought of a club name, and it turned out to be the name Lin Lin had thought of before. Isn't this a bit too coincidental
Only Li Mu knew in his heart that Lin Lin was the one who used this name for the nightclub.
At this time, Lin Lin strongly opposed the use of the name Babyface, and the others stopped talking and encouraged Li Mu to think of another one.
Li Mu felt ashamed and thought of a popular song "Sugar" by Maroon5, which directly translates to sugar. It is mostly used by men to describe women, and its meaning is somewhat similar to dear or baby.
SugarClub should be relatively easy to read.
When Li Mu said the name, Lin Lin was the first to nod in agreement: "Sugar is also a very good name. It is very friendly to women, and it is also catchy."
Everyone else nodded, except Fatty Wang who asked what Sugar meant. After Lin Lin gave him a vocabulary lesson, he immediately nodded in agreement.
Fatty Wang said that the total investment in Sugar Club will be controlled at around 5 million, and everyone will contribute in proportion to the total investment of 5 million. If the final cost exceeds, Fatty Wang will advance it first, and then deduct it from future profits. The bank loan interest rate is used to calculate the interest for Fatty Wang.
Everyone has no objections. In fact, except for Li Mu and Lin Lin, the other five people know that the investment plan of Sugar Club is currently no less than 7 million, and they have reached an agreement privately. The 400,000 yuan that Li Mu and Lin Lin paid for the difference , shared equally among them.
Originally, when Chen Zela, Li Mu and Lin Lin came in, it was not really to get them to pay, but to get them to join the gang.
After confirming the amount of investment, Fatty Wang gave a time point. He will go to sign the contract with the venue tomorrow, and then ask the design company to come up with a design plan. At that time, everyone will discuss the plan together. If the plan is confirmed, Construction will begin immediately.
Calculating the entire time point, the opening will have to wait until after the Lunar New Year.
After eating and chatting, everyone came out of the hotel together. Chen Ze wanted to send Li Mu to the car first, but when he saw Li Mu's face in front of the car, he asked in surprise: "Did the car crash?"
Li Mu nodded and glanced at Lin Lin next to him. Seeing that her expression was as usual, he said calmly: "There were a lot of rear-end collisions on the road. I didn't escape."
Chen Ze looked at the car injury and said, "It's not a big problem, as long as the person is fine."
Li Mu smiled slightly: "Then I'll leave first. If you need anything, call me."
Xu Jiaming on the side said: "I will make arrangements with the bank as soon as possible tomorrow and call you."
"Okay." Li Mu nodded and said, "Then I'll wait for your news."
Lin Lin squinted at Li Mu and said in a somewhat obedient tone: "Be careful when driving on the road. Don't harm others or yourself."
Li Mu nodded and said, "I have perfect traffic regulations, don't worry."
Lin Lin suddenly became angry and said to Chen Ze, "Isn't it convenient for you to give me a ride?"
Chen Ze said: "Okay, where are you going?"
"go home!"
Li Mu said goodbye to several people and drove his GL8, which was hit front and rear, back to Yucheng Garden.
…
It has to be said that Xu Jiaming is very good at channel relations. He called Li Mu at noon the next day and said that he had made an appointment with the branch presidents of the four major banks to meet at his company in the afternoon to talk about Li Mu Network. Payment to merchants.
Li Mu was overjoyed when he received the call. He was the president of a branch of the four major banks. This was far beyond the level of contacts he needed for this matter. However, in this way, Alipay's affairs would be more stable.
Li Mu had already registered an Alipay company with a scalper, and its name was Yanjing Alipay Network Technology Co., Ltd. Kong Lingyu had also developed the front and backend of the Alipay website as well as Alipay's security controls, and was currently testing the program. The only thing missing was It's the interface with the bank.
Once the bank interface is opened and Alipay has its own online payment merchant qualifications, users can pay to Alipay through the online banking of the four major banks. Alipay's primary goal is achieved.
Unable to contain the excitement in his heart, Li Mu took a taxi to Xu Jiaming's company. Xu Jiaming's company is located in Zhongguancun, only two or three kilometers away from Makino Technology. It was the first time for Li Mu to come to Xu Jiaming's company. The company's name was Mingcheng Capital. As the name suggests, he is an investment banker.
Xu Jiaming's company is not big, with a total office area of only about 300 square meters. Today is Saturday. When he arrived at his company, there was only one front desk. After Li Mu told her her name and purpose of visit, she hurriedly took Li Mu to Xu Jiaming's office.
Xu Jiaming was arranging tea sets at the tea table. When he saw Li Mu come in, he was a little surprised at first and said with a smile: "We agreed on three o'clock, why did you come so early? It's just right, come and have tea."
Li Mu looked at the time and saw that it was just over two o'clock. He smiled and said, "I don't have anything to do, so I came here first."
Sitting down opposite Xu Jiaming, Xu Jiaming skillfully brewed Kung Fu tea. After tinkering for a long time, he made a small pot, poured a cup for Li Mu, and said with a smile: "Try my skills."
Li Mu said with a smile: "I don't know much about tea, so I'm afraid I'm going to waste everything."
Xu Jiaming waved his hand: "Drinking tea is actually not that particular. The reason why there are so many procedures and rules is actually to relax your mind. If you do this, I dare not say anything else. At least you can have a much calmer mind. , as for actually drinking tea, it doesn’t matter, at least that’s what I think.”
Li Mu nodded, took a sip from the pocket-sized tea cup, and drank most of it in one sip. The taste was slightly bitter, but the aroma was very rich, and he felt a fresh and natural feeling in his stomach after drinking it.
While sipping tea, the two chatted while drinking tea. Xu Jiaming was curious about Li Mu's understanding of the Internet and asked Li Mu about the future development direction of the Internet. Li Mu just said roughly that he was more optimistic about social networking and games, and e-commerce. Li Mu I didn’t mention that there are basically no mature e-commerce models in China, and the information exchange channels at home and abroad are relatively closed. Generally speaking, people who know about e-commerce have basically been abroad.
In fact, many Internet concepts were introduced from abroad. In the early days of the Internet, those who were the first to introduce models had a relatively high success rate. For example, the founder of Baidu came back from Silicon Valley and brought the concept of search engines back to China. The same goes for the founder of Alibaba. He went to the United States, stayed there for a while, and read several American books on the Internet and e-commerce. When he came back, he resigned and went to work to found Alibaba.
When Xu Jiaming heard Li Mu talk about social networking and games, he looked at Li Mu with some confusion and asked him: "The post bar that Makino Technology is doing now seems to be just a community, and it is still somewhat different from social networking and games."
Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "Everything is a process of constant transformation. The biggest problem in social networking is users' preconceptions about connections. Now Tencent has tens of millions of users, and the highest number of users online at the same time is over one million. Users They have accumulated a considerable network of contacts and friends on their products. If I develop a social product, the user will find that there is no way to transplant the contacts over. It is unrealistic for him to transplant them little by little because of his contacts and friends. They are all individual users, and everyone has their own ideas and thinking. If you want to transplant them from Tencent's products to another, it will be difficult for them to compromise."
Xu Jiaming said in surprise: "In terms of social networking, no one can beat Tencent?"
"Of course not." Li Mu said with a smile: "Give Tencent another ten years, what you said is 80% correct, but it is different now. Although Tencent has seized the opportunity, it is not yet full-fledged. His only right now is The advantage is the accumulated network of existing users, but once someone can defeat it at this level, it will be very easy to replace him.”
Seeing Li Mu's confident look, Xu Jiaming was secretly surprised. He was also speculating on the future development direction of Makino Technology. Now it seems that Li Mu definitely has ambitions to be a social network, but how will he complete the transition from Tieba to social media
Although he was curious, Xu Jiaming did not ask further. He was just a little more excited about the idea of investing in Makino Technology.
At about 2:40, a middle-aged man in his forties was brought in by the front desk. As soon as he entered the door, he stretched out his hands and came forward to shake hands with Xu Jiaming. It was obvious that he felt sorry for his teenage self. The year-old Xu Jiaming respects him very much.
Xu Jiaming introduced to Li Mu that this was Chen Gang, the president of the ICBC branch.
Chen Gang looked at Li Mu and felt that he looked very familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. Xu Jiaming introduced him: "President Chen, this is my friend, Li Mu."
"Li Mu..." Chen Gang suddenly understood and said, "Oh, I just saw your special topic on Focus Interview a few days ago. The 3321 project is amazing and impressive!"
Li Mu smiled modestly. Banks are also departments within the system. Leaders in this system pay much more attention to current political news than ordinary people. In recent years, Chen Gang has read newspapers, news broadcasts and focus interviews almost every day. So I have an impression of Li Mu, but I couldn't immediately connect him with that program just now.
Chen Gang originally received a call from Xu Jiaming and thought he was looking for something to do with him. However, Li Mu, who has been highly sought after in the system recently, also appeared in his office. Chen Gang suddenly felt that Xu Jiaming's true purpose of looking for him this time was... It should be related to Li Mu.
If Li Mu wants to get bank resources, it will be a good thing for him. As long as he can establish some relationship with 3321, he can highlight a positive image in front of the people.
Not only Chen Gang, but also the three branch presidents of other banks who arrived one after another thought the same thing when they saw Li Mu.
