Soon, Lin Xiaru's rating of Ali dropped from B to D.
In her opinion, Ali's death was extremely likely.
Once this JeremyXu starts his project, Ali will die.
In fact, he may not even have a chance to struggle, and he will be killed in one blow.
At this moment, the first thing she thought of was to give up this investment.
Because, after seeing this plan, she decided that there was no need to invest in Alibaba now.
At the same time, she is full of impulse to invest in Jeremy Xu's project.
This JeremyXu, no matter how you look at it, he is the best investment target.
A person with a good background, a strong team, greater professionalism, and very terrifying practical ability. He has already figured out the competitors before the official launch. Such a person has almost all the conditions for success.
So, she immediately called her subordinates and said: "Reply this Jeremy Xu immediately and tell him that I am going to Yanjing, China. I can meet him in Yanjing as soon as the day after tomorrow!"
"Okay." The other party agreed and then asked: "Mr. Lin, what about the Alibaba project?"
Lin Xiaru thought for a while and said: "Send this plan to other team members responsible for the Alibaba project, and everyone will hold a voting meeting to decide whether to continue investing in the Alibaba project, but I personally voted against it. "
The other party said: "I also voted against it. In this way, two of the seven people have voted against it. The final result is likely to be that the majority is in favor of giving up."
"Yeah." Lin Xiaru said, "There needs to be a process for everyone to express their position, but you have to emphasize the confidentiality issue with the people in the group and never reveal any details in this plan."
Although multinational venture capital institutions are sometimes ruthless, they generally adhere to professional norms and business plans must not be leaked.
Otherwise, if word spreads, it will greatly affect the company's reputation.
If entrepreneurs knew that a multinational venture capital firm as big as Goldman Sachs would leak their business secrets, who would dare to come to them for investment in the future
At this moment, Lin Xiaru’s team held an internal vote, and all six participants were opposed to continuing to invest in Alibaba.
After Lin Xiaru got the result, she wanted to call Cai Chongxin immediately and explain it clearly.
But when I think about it carefully, after all, the other party has communicated with me for such a long time, Cai Chongxin is also my old friend, and I am about to go to China. It is really unreasonable to refuse the investment without meeting Boss Ma.
So, she decided to go to China normally and give priority to meeting Jeremy Xu. After meeting Jeremy Xu, no matter whether she could invest in Jeremy Xu or not, she could no longer invest in Alibaba because she concluded that the Alibaba project would definitely fail.
…
At this time, Xu Yiyang has already begun to prepare for his upcoming college life.
Since Zhonghai Yujing had already purchased all the furniture and appliances and connected the internet cable, he checked out of the hotel and moved back to his new home.
In this large house of 274 square meters, he can see China Overseas from the back window of his house, which is only separated by a park.
The school was small and slightly dilapidated, but it became the place where all the deep feelings in his heart were carried.
During a person's lifetime and several decades, he will meet millions of people in the world, but he will rarely meet the right person.
Xu Yiyang has been a man in two lifetimes, and he understands one thing: the more people you meet, the more you understand that fate only lasts a few times in your life.
His encounter with Gu Sijia in his previous life was the most precious one.
Therefore, he could not wait for the day of registration at school.
China Overseas International officially started reporting on September 1st, and the registration time is from the 1st to the 3rd.
Xu Yiyang naturally planned to go there early on the 1st. No matter whether he could see Gu Sijia that day or not, he had to finish the registration first.
The night of August 31st.
Xu Yiyang packed his luggage and daily necessities to report to school tomorrow, and received a call from Shen Lele.
Shen Lele has already gone to Tsinghua University to report. Although she is a little nervous about the new environment, she is more expectant and excited.
Xu Yiyang was very happy for her.
After chatting with her on the phone for more than ten minutes, Xu Yiyang sat in front of the computer in the study room, logged into QQ to chat with Mr. Ma for a few words, and then logged into his own mailbox to check his email messages.
A few days ago, he not only sent an email to Lin Xiaru.
He sent emails to all the investment managers of well-known investment institutions that he could find.
Therefore, he wanted to see if anyone would reply to him.
As soon as I opened it, I immediately saw several emails, each of which came from a different investment institution.
Sequoia, Morgan Stanley, IDG, and of course, Goldman Sachs!
That email from Goldman Sachs, the sender’s name was Jack Hanks.
He clicked on the content of the email. The content of Jack Hanks' email was that Goldman Sachs was very interested in his business plan. It happened that their leader, Ms. Lin, was about to leave for Yanjing, China, so she hoped to make an appointment with him at a time. We will meet in Yanjing to discuss specific investment matters.
Xu Yiyang thought to himself that it is impossible to meet each other, and it is impossible to meet you in this life.
So, he responded to the other party with an email, which was also in English:
"Hello Jack, thank you very much and Ms. Lin for your recognition of my plan. I also hope to meet with Ms. Lin and discuss cooperation matters."
"But I'm in the United States now, and my schedule is very full, so I won't be able to return to China for a while."
"I'm going to Silicon Valley this week to visit some of my fellow Stanford classmates. They work at great Internet companies such as Cisco, Yahoo and Oracle. I also hope to learn from them and After learning more about Internet models and the development of Internet technology, I hope to persuade them to return to China and start a business with me;"
"I have to go to Seattle to meet some senior colleagues from Microsoft, so it may take half a month to return to China. Why don't I interview Ms. Lin after I return to China? I heard that the headquarters of Goldman Sachs China is in Hong Kong. At that time, I can fly to Hong Kong first and meet with Ms. Lin."
He wanted to use the drag technique to drag Lin Xiaru down first.
As long as Lin Xiaru is interested in her project and thinks there is an opportunity to invest in herself, Boss Ma's project will lose its appeal to her.
He clicked on the emails sent by investors from several other investment institutions, and found that without exception, they all wanted to meet with him to discuss specific investment matters.
From their words, it can be felt that they are very interested in investing in their project.
So, he replied to these investors with similar answers, first letting them feel that he was willing to chat with them, but he just didn't allow it due to time constraints, so he held them back.
As a result, Boss Ma has been unable to receive a critical capital injection, and will soon be unsustainable. At that time, he can go to Boss Ma to buy the bottom.
Although he knew that Boss Ma wanted money from overseas capital, he also believed that if overseas capital was unwilling to invest in Boss Ma, or lowered its valuation and was only willing to give Boss Ma a very small valuation, Boss Ma would not be able to reject him.
Xu Yiyang didn't believe that if the Americans were only willing to invest 1 million US dollars for 50% of Boss Ma's shares, and he was willing to invest 15 million yuan, could he still only want US dollars
…
On September 1st, Xu Yiyang got up early.
He took the suitcase he had prepared, left his home in Zhonghai Yujing early, and walked to Zhonghai University of Foreign Languages.
There was nothing in the suitcase except some daily necessities and a few changes of clothes for summer.
He didn't bring his laptop because he was sure there would be no internet in the dormitory, and it would be useless to bring it with him.
While walking through the park, Hu Bingwen, the veteran of the English School, called him and asked him what day he would report.
Xu Yiyang told him that he would be at school soon, and Hu Bingwen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
For things like university, it's normal to let go of the pigeons when it comes to registration. Fortunately, Xu Yiyang came anyway.
Hu Bingwen said apologetically that he was taking some young professors on academic exchanges abroad at this time and might not be able to return to Zhonghai until the official start of school, so he would not be able to help Xu Yiyang.
Xu Yiyang was a little flattered that the old gentleman was so polite. He thanked him and then hung up the phone.
When we walked to the entrance of CSOC, there was a red banner hanging on the door, which read: "Warmly welcome the 1999 freshmen to register."
Many students and parents came in and out, and there were many students wearing volunteer red armbands at the door. They must be senior brothers and sisters helping to welcome the new students.
Xu Yiyang looked around to see if he could find Gu Sijia, but there were too many people coming and going, so he couldn't see them, so he gave up.
At this time, the small square inside the school gate was already overcrowded. On both sides were various registration guidance signs with the names of various majors written on them.
Xu Yiyang was a freshman majoring in English at the English College, so he went to the sign that read "Registration and Sign-in Office for Freshmen of the English College."
There were already several freshmen here who were checking in. Xu Yiyang didn't say anything and just lined up behind them.
At this time, a boy wearing a volunteer armband came to him and asked: "Classmate, are you a freshman in the English College?"
Xu Yiyang nodded: "Yes."
The man with sleeves hurriedly introduced himself: "Hello, I am a junior student in the English School. My name is Lu Ming. I am the officer of the student union and I am responsible for your sign-in."
Xu Yiyang said politely: "Hello, Senior Brother Lu."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome."
After saying that, he came close to Xu Yiyang and whispered: "Junior brother, when you go to register and pay fees later, the school will sell you a five-piece set of bedding, bed sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases. They sell them expensively, a set costs two hundred yuan. , don’t buy from them, I have the same one as them, it’s only 150, think about it?”
Xu Yiyang looked at Lu Ming curiously. He was not tall, about less than 1.7 meters tall, very thin, and wore myopia glasses, but he gave people a shrewd look.
In his previous life, Xu Yiyang also met many classmates who were doing business in the university, but this was the first time he met someone like this who was involved in school business.
In fact, in his previous life, he admired this person who knew how to do business in school. At least he had a good business sense. The most rare thing was that he had ideas and dared to do it.
However, this kind of poaching from the school is somewhat unjustifiable in terms of business ethics.
This is like working in a company, running the same business as the company privately, and intercepting the company's orders privately.
If you do this kind of thing in the company, it will not only violate professional ethics, but also violate the law.
Lu Ming saw that Xu Yiyang didn't seem to be very interested, so he added: "We are all seniors from the same college. How about I give you an additional ten yuan, one hundred and fourteen yuan? If anything happens to you in the future, my seniors will definitely take care of you!" "
Xu Yiyang felt that if he reached out and didn't hit the smiling man, he was still a senior brother after all, so it would be okay to show off his face, so he smiled and said, "Okay."
Lu Ming hurriedly said: "Let me write down your name first. I will go to your dormitory to deliver it to you in the evening. I will give you the money then. Do you have a mobile phone? If so, leave your number."
Xu Yiyang nodded and gave Lu Ming his mobile phone number.
At this time, it was time for him to sign in, so he handed the admission letter, ID card and prepared photos to the girl in charge of signing in.
After registering and signing, the other party said to him: "Please go straight to the lobby on the first floor of the Political and Education Building to register for admission."
Xu Yiyang thanked him and walked to the political and educational building with his suitcase.
…
At this time, at the main entrance of China Overseas International Studies University, a black Toyota Crown stopped.
There were three people sitting in the car, it was Gu Sijia's family of three.
The driver was Gu Sijia's father and Xu Yiyang's father-in-law, Gu Jianzhong, and the passenger in the passenger seat was Xu Yiyang's mother-in-law, Xue Lihua.
Gu Jianzhong said in a standard local accent: "Jiajia, you have three days to register, why are you here so early? Oh, there are too many people here."
Xue Lihua, who was in the passenger seat, also nodded and said, "Yes, Jiajia, there are too many people, and the queues take a long time. Why don't we come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
At this time, Gu Sijia, who was sitting in the back row, pursed her lips and said seriously: "Yuewei insists on coming over to report early. I have promised her a long time ago. How can I go back on my word?"
Gu Jianzhong asked hurriedly: "Is Yuewei's father coming?"
Gu Sijia shook her head: "I'm not sure. He probably won't come. He should be busy with work."
"Oh..." Gu Jianzhong nodded with some disappointment, and then said: "When I have time, I can help my father make an appointment with Yue Wei's father. He said that we are a family of three and want to treat their family of three to dinner."
Gu Sijia said with some embarrassment: "Dad, if you want to date Yuewei's father, just tell him yourself..."
Gu Jianzhong said seriously: "Mr. Tong is a senior executive of a telecommunications company. There are so many people queuing up every day to treat him to dinner. I may not be able to make an appointment with him, so I might as well go through the back door with you."
"Yes." Xue Lihua also agreed: "Just think of it as helping your father to smoothen the relationship. It's not a big deal to make an appointment for a meal."
Gu Sijia nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll talk to her later..."
While talking, she suddenly thought of the boy who helped her a lot during the last interview.
His level is so high, he will definitely pass the exam at that time, but I don’t know if he will come to China Overseas to report
Tong Yuewei had been talking about summer vacation in her ears for a whole time, so much so that she was now slightly worried that the boy would not be chosen overseas in the end.
Third update, sorry for being a few minutes late
