Chapter 484: The Second Round of Fundraising for Youcha [Ask for Double Monthly Tickets! ]

At night, Cheng Zhu saw the circle of friends shared by Zhang Qiqi.

He looked at the copy and knew that this sentence was sent specifically for him.

The house plan was clearly shown to her, she was kissed on the lips for nothing, and her confession was rejected, but she still had to say that she was not unhappy today, so as to avoid embarrassment when the two meet in the future and avoid a stronger sense of distance.

After thinking about it, Cheng Zhu did something very dog-like.

That means clicking "like" on this post in the circle of friends.

This is what many green tea girls will do. They will push you away when you want to take a further step, and then will not actively contact you. However, they will like your Moments to show their presence.

He didn't care anyway. After all, it was his own interview video, and he wouldn't think too much about it even if some friends saw it.

But this like is actually a response to the green tea senior's pleading attitude.

Of course, there is another reason why Cheng Zhu liked the post.

That is because he saw that Yiyi also liked it.

The innocent little white flower who was far away in Tai City quickly saw through the prompt message in the circle of friends that her friend Cheng Zhu brother liked the post for Zhang Qiqi.

Originally, she felt a little jealous when she saw the interview video.

"Humph, this old woman Zhang Qiqi is just relying on the advantage of being in the same school now!"

"What a shame for a Polytechnic University. They didn't even hire a professional reporter for the campus. Look, she got stuck twice while speaking."

"However, your alumni advantage won't last long." Meng Yiyi thought of this and smiled with relief.

She found it very interesting. Just as she was going to Hangzhou to study at university, Zhang Qiqi had just graduated.

In Yiyi's heart, her cousin is the kind of woman who can only be considered a little clever.

It's possible to fish for black carp, but it's definitely impossible to fish for Cheng Zhuge.

“The gap in comprehensive conditions is too big.”

"We are just ordinary people with good looks."

For example, her mother was no less beautiful than these two sisters when she was young.

But can't she still just be a mistress?
Moreover, the biological father who is still squatting in there has a huge gap in overall conditions compared to Cheng Zhu today!

"Self-positioning must be clear." Meng Yiyi thought.

She guessed that Zhang Qiqi must have thought of taking advantage of Cheng Zhu's brother before, not pursuing him, but teasing him.

"This is such a waste of time and opportunity," she thought.

Although Meng Yiyi has the temperament of a pure little white flower and looks rather young, her view on love is completely different from that of ordinary girls of this age.

"In fact, most relationships at this age don't lead to anything."

"Even if we really fall in love, there may not be a future for us, alas." Meng Yiyi sighed in his heart.

But she is still looking forward to the enrollment of new students in September.

She even thought about finding an excuse to move to Hangzhou permanently during the summer vacation.

What Meng Yiyi regretted most at this moment was that she didn't expect Cheng Zhu to see this circle of friends from the old woman Zhang Qiqi.

"If I had known he wasn't busy today, I would have commented on this shared link, left a message or something like that."

——Brother Cheng Zhu is so handsome and his sister is super professional!

But after she thought about it, she no longer felt regretful.

"Why should I envy Zhang Qiqi for interviewing Brother Cheng Zhu?"

"That's where they stop. Nothing else can happen."

“I’ve been to a concert with him!”

This simple campus interview has become very popular on the entire Internet.

Cheng Zhu now looks like a startup celebrity, or even a startup internet celebrity.

There are also silly netizens joking below:
"With such a high traffic, it's a shame if Guangzi doesn't appear on camera every time."

"Hey, who is this internet celebrity? Why aren't there any ads in his videos?"

"If you ask me, Mr. Cheng still lacks some business acumen!"

The funniest thing is that because of this campus interview, a large number of stupid netizens who had nothing to do flocked to Chen Yue’s Weibo to leave messages.

Didn’t Cheng Zhu say: Why don’t you ask them if they are afraid of me?

Stupid netizen: OK, got it!

Chen Yue just posted a Weibo this afternoon to celebrate the fact that the number of Yuecha stores nationwide has officially exceeded 50.

Her caption was: This is a small step for Yuecha.

Originally, the comment section below was fine, with at most a few persistent netizens leaving comments like "crazy woman".

Now, the comment section is completely unreadable.

The queue of hot comments is very neat, and they are all exactly the same words.

"Interview: Excuse me, are you afraid of Cheng Zhu?"

The top ten most popular comments are all about this sentence, with thousands of likes. No other comments can even top it!
The female assistant who was in charge of her personal Weibo was stunned and didn't know whether she should delete the comments.

But her intuition told her that if she deleted it, there would be more similar messages!

Why would those stupid netizens care whether you get angry after reading these comments?
To be precise, they just want to watch the fun and are suspected of adding fuel to the fire!
After learning about this, Chen Yue clicked on Cheng Zhu's campus interview video in confusion, wanting to get to the bottom of it.

As a result, it was a handsome hit as soon as it was opened.

In Cheng Zhu's previous public photos and videos, he was not wearing formal clothes.

And formal wear is often a huge plus for handsome guys.

After Chen Yue finished watching the video, she was speechless.

"How come he can always easily set the pace on the Internet!"

Most people answer this kind of question by bragging a little bit, talking about their product strength, quality control, and market share.
How could I answer like that?
Such comments are not only found under Chen Yue’s personal Weibo, but also under other friendly companies’ Weibo.

"He really doesn't take all of us colleagues seriously at all!" Chen Yue was so angry that her teeth were itching.

She wanted to take out the [Headphones] 2.0 version and have a hearty fight to see who was afraid of whom!

But, ask yourself, are you afraid of Cheng Zhu in the business world?

Chen Yue has been a little panicked recently.

“Youcha is about to raise its second round of financing.”

"According to the information we got from Zhao Long, RedMountain Capital is still the lead investor this time."

"But please don't give a valuation that's too scary!"

The next day, Cheng Zhu received a rare call from his childhood friend Jiang Wanzhou.

The two have had much less contact recently than before.

On the one hand, it was because Cheng Zhu was very busy, and on the other hand, Jiang Wanzhou was in an emotional whirlpool, and emotional matters consumed most of his energy.

"Hello, our Mr. Jiang, who values ​​women over friendship, why did you think of calling me, an unimportant and past-tense brother?" Cheng Zhuyi started to speak in a veiled manner as soon as he answered the phone.

"Get out of here!" Jiang Wanzhou rolled his eyes.

"Tell me, what emotional issues are you consulting me about again?" Cheng Zhu said with a smile, "Is it Ji Shiwen's persistent ex-boyfriend who has appeared again?"

Although he said this with a smile, he was sneering in his heart.

He has seen many tricks like Ji Shiwen's.

As long as you are heartless enough, how can you have an ex-boyfriend who will cling to you?
Moreover, she loved to talk about this matter with Jiang Wanzhou.

Although nothing in the world is absolute, Cheng Zhu has heard Jiang Wanzhou mention a lot of details, and based on these, he can basically make a conclusion in his mind.

There is a high possibility that there is still some entanglement with that side, which in turn stimulates the sense of crisis and possessiveness on this side.

Especially since Jiang Wanzhou looked like a gay, which was also fatal.

She said that she has a gay friend accompanying her recently, and her ex-boyfriend would probably believe it!

You would never imagine that this gay guy in your eyes has actually been there a long time ago.

Jiang Wanzhou said unhappily, "In your eyes, I am only there to accompany Ji Shiwen. Even if I come to see you, it's to talk to you about her, right?"

"What else?" Cheng Zhu's reply made him angry again.

"You really need to get out of here!"

"If you have to fart, come on. It seems like there won't be any serious business today." He said with a smile.

As a result, Jiang Wanzhou fell into a brief silence.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I was originally struggling over whether or not to tell you about this, but then I thought about it and it seems that it is not impossible to tell you."

"My uncle came to our house to borrow money," he said.

Cheng Zhu took a while to react before asking, "Shen Minglang's father?"

"Yes, he is short of cash right now, so he asked my family to borrow money to invest in your pomelo tea."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhu nodded slightly and said, "Is that so."

Young people are actually not very careful with their words. They don’t think too much about what they say or do, and they often tell their friends everything.

But Jiang Wanzhou said this, on the one hand because he felt that Cheng Zhu might need to understand the situation, and on the other hand to emphasize the importance of pomelo tea to the Shen family. "Let me tell you, my uncle rarely borrows money from my family. Our two families have such a good relationship, and there have been no conflicts between relatives for so many years, but in his ranking, my family is the last." He said.

"So what?" Cheng Zhu said this deliberately.

"So I think he really can't raise a lot of cash at once in the near future, but he actually attaches great importance to your pomelo tea." Jiang Wanzhou said.

"I understand." Cheng Zhu replied seriously.

At this point, he suddenly smiled again and asked, "By the way, did your parents say anything to you?"

"say what?"

"For example, we have such a good relationship and have been friends since childhood, why don't I bring you to make milk tea together?"

"Tsk, I don't give a damn. I want to be a domineering CEO myself, not help you." Jiang Wanzhou said with disdain.

He added: "Besides, the fortune teller said that our horoscopes conflict with each other, so we shouldn't do business together."

Cheng Zhu was there for the fortune-telling that time, and Jiang Wanzhou dragged him along to do the fortune-telling for fun.

The charge was 1000 per person, and Jiang Wanzhou paid the bill.

In their previous lives, they never did well in business together. They once lamented, "I thought I was cheated out of 2000 yuan by a charlatan. I never thought that some people who look like charlatans are actually very powerful!"

At this moment, Cheng Zhu heard this and actually guessed: "His family must have said something."

He had met Jiang Wanzhou's parents several times, especially in his previous life.

Overall, his parents are actually pretty nice and treat Cheng Zhu quite kindly.

It’s just that her mother is a typical rich person, and she feels that the poor people around her seem to be trying to get something from her.

She wasn't so snobbish as to not allow Jiang Wanzhou to play with children from ordinary families.

On the contrary, she was very grateful that even though her son's mother was dead, Cheng Zhu was still so close to him and supported and protected him everywhere.

So she would often take Cheng Zhu out for big meals and occasionally buy him small gifts.

It's typical that they can only give you small favors, but there's no question of real wealth.

After learning that Cheng Zhu had graduated from university and started his own business, she emphasized to Jiang Wanzhou several times that she could only help with small matters at most, but she should never provide her own resources, connections, etc., as some things were inconvenient to share. She was also not allowed to pave the way for him, and lending him money was out of the question.

In her mind, people change. We used to just play together, but after entering society, things may change immediately, and he will have some intentions towards us.

Cheng Zhu actually didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

He thought there was nothing wrong with that.

But he is a proud person at heart, and he won't think that you must do this or that just because your family is well-off or we have such a deep relationship.

Everything turned out just as he expected. Jiang Wanzhou's mother did ask him, "Cheng Zhu asked Minglang and Ningning to invest in the pomelo tea business this time. Didn't he tell you about it?"

Jiang Wanzhou immediately said, "Didn't you tell me to learn to distinguish who are just playmates, just friends to play with, like Cheng Zhu?"

"You silly child, people's situations will change!" The woman said helplessly.

In her opinion, Cheng Zhu is no longer the little brat who had to be taken out for a big meal and had never seen the world.

She is no longer just a playmate of her son.

In the end, she could only say, "Forget it. You should communicate with him more and learn from him more in the future. Do you hear me?"

"Oh." Jiang Wanzhou responded perfunctorily.

At the end of the call, Cheng Zhu thought for a while and decided, "By the way, do you have any plans to start a business during college?"

"Why, do you want to introduce the project to me?" Jiang Wanzhou wondered.

"There is indeed a good business opportunity that I think is suitable for you."

"What?"

"Blind box." Cheng Zhu said.

When it comes to blind boxes, the first thing that everyone thinks of is [Pop Mart].

Many people say: It is more of a gambling company than a toy company.

But many people don’t know that this company, which was founded in 2010, did not actually start out as a blind box company, and it didn’t even sell only toys at the beginning.

If Cheng Zhu remembers correctly, he started making blind boxes this year.

It is definitely not too early to enter the market at this moment, but it is not impossible to go in and have some fun and seize the market.

After all, the explosion period of this thing is not this year.

On the phone, Jiang Wanzhou became more and more interested as Cheng Zhu talked.

His business sense is actually not bad, and he has a strong taste for fashion.

For many ordinary people at this stage, it is simply impossible to understand the beauty of blind boxes.

Of course, when blind boxes are all the rage, many people still think that only idiots would buy such things.

Just like many people today would think: only idiots would queue up for a cup of milk tea that costs more than 30 yuan.

However, this is customer thinking, not our business thinking.

Some people just won't make this mental shift.

Whether you buy or not is your personal matter, at most it is a matter of a certain group. But whether something can be sold is a matter of the market.

"How did you come up with this?" Jiang Wanzhou wondered, "Did you come up with it yourself?"

"No, other countries have this model, but it has not become popular in our country yet. But I think as the purchasing power of young groups increases, it will become popular in the future, you know?" he said.

"Okay, then I'll go study it." Jiang Wanzhou said.

"That's right! When you have nothing to do, find something serious to do. Don't be jealous of your girlfriend's ex-boyfriend all day long. People rely on attraction to each other, don't you understand?" Cheng Zhu brought the topic back to the beginning.

"Get out of here!" Jiang Wanzhou started rolling his eyes again.

Time went back three days.

The second round of financing for Youcha has begun.

Soon, all kinds of news and rumors were flying around the entire capital circle.

There is so much truth and falsehood here that no one can tell.

In this round of financing, Cheng Zhu finally chose only RedShan Capital as the new partner.

He actually has a venture capital firm that he prefers in his mind, and it’s called Shunwei Capital.

Unfortunately, Shunwei Capital has never been very interested in this new type of catering. The institution focuses more on the Internet industry, technology manufacturing industry, hardware industry, etc.

The reason why Cheng Zhu was interested in it was simply because the man behind it was known as the person who even cool novels dared not write like this, and he was suspected to be the male protagonist of a super cool novel with his own system.

"I heard that Lei Jun has the aura of lowering intelligence of the male protagonist in a cool novel. Once he enters a certain industry, the intelligence of his competitors will decrease drastically."

Cheng Zhu wanted to try this thing to see if it worked, he was quite curious.

But in fact he knew very well that this just proved that the world was just a huge makeshift team.

In the entire investment circle of Hangzhou, the one that paid the most attention to the second round of financing of Youcha was actually Tiancheng Capital.

Tiancheng Capital, as one of the old venture capital institutions in Hangzhou, was the first venture capital institution to come into contact with Youcha.

But because Wen Hua was late on purpose, trying to take advantage of the young man, everyone left in a bad mood.

Later, the so-called boss of You Tea was very arrogant and actually said, "If you are late for one minute, you will get an extra 100 million yuan." This was also deliberately spread by Tiancheng Capital.

Wen Hua originally wanted to make Cheng Zhu a laughing stock in Hangzhou's entrepreneurial circle, but in the end, he himself became a laughing stock in Hangzhou's investment circle.

No one ever thought that pomelo tea could reach the heights it has today.

No one had ever thought that the milk tea industry, which is considered a low-end industry and a rubbish project, could achieve such a level.

Wen Hua couldn't help but keep paying attention to Yucha during this period.

I hate him, but I also want to understand him.

As a result, just today, the news of the second round of financing was announced to the public!
Wen Hua clicked it and took a look, and couldn't help but gasp.

"Really Red Mountain Capital!?"

As an insider, she is naturally aware of the status and strength of Red Mountain Capital.

That is the top 1 domestic venture capital in the eyes of many people!

This round of financing was led by Red Mountain Capital, followed by Prin Capital, Shen Minglang and Shen Qingning.

What’s even more exaggerated is that Youcha raised a total of 6 million this time!
The current valuation of this milk tea brand has reached a terrifying 50 billion!
This made Wen Hua's eyelids start to twitch wildly, and he felt a slight sense of suffocation.

At this moment, she began to deeply realize what she had missed!
Pomelo tea could have been the highlight of her resume as a new investor!
People must pay the price for their past arrogance!

At this moment, Wen Hua continued to read the news, which actually included an interview with Wang Zeng of Red Mountain Capital.

Soon, her eyes stopped on a sentence said by Wang Zeng, and then she felt like she was struck by lightning, and then she began to break out in a cold sweat.

You know what, this bald man Wang Zeng is quite humorous.

He said: "There has always been a rumor in the Youcha industry that if you are late for financing by one minute, the amount will be increased by another 100 million!"

"I must dispel these rumors. They are all false."

"I was two minutes late on purpose that day, hoping to get an extra 200 million."

"In the end, Mr. Cheng refused to agree!"

(ps: It’s the last day of the month, please give me double the monthly votes! If you don’t vote, it will expire!)
