Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 294 A 380-square-meter luxury apartment, bought for Jiang Muyun!
"Excuse me, teacher, I didn't put my phone on silent. Um... can I go outside to answer this call?"

"There's a multi-billion dollar financing deal to discuss."

Upon hearing this, the once quiet and solemn examination room erupted in laughter.

Chen Yan is currently enjoying immense popularity and has become a "treasure" of the university. It's no exaggeration to say that while the university's more than 20,000 students may not know who the president is, they will certainly know who Chen Yan is.

The proctor clearly recognized him as well, and there was no way he would give Chen Yan a demerit.

If I really give him a demerit, and then the higher-ups find out, I'll be the one getting the demerit the next day!

The proctor looked rather displeased, but he could only grit his teeth and say, "Go and come back quickly, and don't let it happen again!"

"Thank you, teacher!"

After finishing his sentence, Chen Yan hurriedly walked out of the examination room.

He had barely stepped out of the exam room when he heard the proctor yelling at the top of his lungs, "What are you all looking at! Answer the questions now!"

……

Arriving at a secluded corner in the corridor, Chen Yan glanced at the caller ID. It was Xu Yang, the SVP (Senior Vice President) of Tencent's Strategic Investment Department.

Mr. Xu previously led the Series A funding rounds for [Daily Part-time Jobs] and [Boss Direct Hire], and I guess he's here to talk to me about Series B.

With that in mind, Chen Yan immediately answered the phone.

Sure enough, as soon as the call connected, Xu Yang's feigned sadness came from the other end:
"Brother Chen, you've really broken my heart this time!"

"What's wrong, brother?"

Chen Yan feigned ignorance and asked.

Xu Yang: "We were working together so well before. Now that you're raising your Series B funding, you could have just told me directly. Why did you have to spread the news to others? Doesn't that make you treat me like an outsider?"

Chen Yan explained with a smile, "President Xu, this time I need a relatively large amount of funds."

Xu Yang shrugged it off: "How big is it? Just tell me, and I'll take care of it all for you."

"16."

"No problem, wait a minute, how much do you want?"

"16 billion," Chen Yan emphasized again.

Xu Yang: "I see. Well then... we might not be able to eat it all."

The "can't afford it" part doesn't mean Tencent can't come up with 16 billion in cash. As a cash cow, Tencent could easily come up with 1600 billion, let alone 16 billion. But that doesn't mean it will spend that much money on a startup internet company.

Although their 3000 million yuan investment in [Daily Part-Time Jobs] turned into 2 million yuan in just one year.

However, Chen Yan needs to raise a lot of money this time, an investment of 16 billion yuan. It may have to be reported to Pony Ma before a final decision is made.

Therefore, Xu Yang did not dare to make decisions on his own, but only said that he would convene a meeting as soon as possible and asked Chen Yan to wait for his news.

Chen Yan hung up the phone and returned to the examination room. He gently pushed open the back door and tiptoed back to his seat.

I glanced at the exam paper and saw that I had chosen C for all the multiple-choice questions, answered 1 for all the fill-in-the-blank questions, and simply copied the questions from the problem-solving section.

After finishing everything, he handed in his paper and left early.

Anyway, it's just a formality. Based on last semester's experience, the final grade will usually be around 80 points, which isn't particularly good.

But for Chen Yan, as long as he can pass the exam and not fail, that's fine.

………………

Inside the president's office at the company's headquarters in Hangzhou.

Gao Yang quickly followed behind Chen Yan. As soon as the door closed, he handed over the tablet in his hand, speaking rapidly and clearly:
"Mr. Chen, you're back just in time. In Hangzhou, I contacted four large and reputable venture capital firms. Two of them are quite interested in us, but the other two haven't replied yet."

Chen Yan took off his coat, casually draped it over the back of the chair, raised an eyebrow, and gestured for him to continue.

Gao Yang continued, "Lin Wei, the senior director of Alibaba's strategic investment department, called personally and was very proactive. They were very interested in our 'Boss Zhipin' penetration rate and growth data in the white-collar recruitment market, especially our presence in first-tier cities."

Lin Wei stated that, provided the valuation is reasonable, they are interested in leading our round of investment; they have a large appetite and hope to secure a significant share, even… hinting at the possibility of exclusivity.

Chen Yan walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the bustling Hangzhou CBD outside, without saying a word, lost in thought.

"Mr. Lin hopes to arrange a formal meeting as soon as possible; the location and time can be chosen by you."

Gao Yang added.

"What about the other one?" Chen Yan turned around and picked up the water glass on the table.

"It's NetEase."

Gao Yang paused for a moment, then continued, "Wang Haifeng, the VP of NetEase's strategic investment department, a veteran personally trained by Boss Ding."

Mr. Wang told me that their HR department at Wangyi is currently using our "Boss Direct Hire" app to recruit employees, and he is very interested in our unique one-on-one direct communication model with employers.

The office fell silent briefly, with only the faint sounds of the city outside the window.

Chen Yan's fingers tapped unconsciously on the smooth tabletop.

Alibaba represents a powerful integration capability in terms of capital, traffic entry points, and local life ecosystem. Once a partnership is established, the hidden benefits it can bring are considerable.

While NetEase's funding may not be as extravagant as Alibaba's, its unique resources and content ecosystem could offer significant potential for business growth.

More importantly, the entry of these two giants set a very high standard for this Series B financing round.

This sends a strong signal to other investors who may follow suit – [Boss Zhipin] is a highly sought-after company, and its valuation will certainly not be low.

“Interesting, both elephants squeezed in.”

Chen Yan put down his water glass and decisively instructed Gao Yang:

"Reply to Mr. Ali Lin, the time is set for 3 pm the day after tomorrow, in our company's conference room. By the way, please have them bring the preliminary TS (signature) framework."

"What about Mr. Wang from Wangyi..."

Chen Yan paused for a moment, then said, "Let's schedule it for 10 a.m. tomorrow. I have an exam in the afternoon."

Gao Yang: "..."

Why does the boss's last sentence sound like he's just showing off...?

Chen Yan spent the next two days taking exams and negotiating.

Although Alibaba and NetEase are both giants and interested in [Boss Zhipin], they were still taken aback by Chen Yan's proposed valuation of 80 billion yuan. This software has only been online for about 10 months, and while it pioneered the direct recruitment model and job matching mechanism in the industry, an 80 billion yuan valuation seems outrageous.

If you were to give us a valuation of 40 billion, we'd grit our teeth and sign the contract right here and now!

Who knew? You quoted 80 billion right off the bat. We're all high-end professionals, not market vendors who will haggle over the price.

Therefore, both parties said they would go back and conduct further research before giving Chen Yan a final reply.

Chen Yan smiled and said, "It's alright, just wait for good news."

…………

2015 1 Month 23 Day.

That day, Chen Yan was taking an exam on "Econometrics" when his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.

However, this time it was a text message notification, which only lasted for a second, so it didn't attract anyone's attention.

Chen Yan wasn't in a hurry. He waited until he had copied all the problem-solving questions before slowly taking out his phone.

However, when he saw the text message, his hand trembled with excitement, and he almost dropped his phone.

—Your China Construction Bank card ending in 4781 received a transfer of 599965000 yuan, leaving a balance of 600298950.70 yuan.

Good guy!
Although he was a billionaire in his previous life, the largest balance he ever had in his bank account was 40 million. This was the first time in Chen Yan's two lifetimes that he had ever seen a balance of over 100 million!

This time, he paid over 100 million in taxes alone, but Chen Yan never even considered using any legal tax avoidance methods.

Born under the red flag and raised in the spring breeze, they have already benefited greatly from the dividends of the times. If they still try to legally evade taxes like some celebrities, they are worse than pigs and dogs.

Next, Chen Yan handed in his paper early again, and then calmly walked out of the examination room with the stride of 600 million.

He first drove to the company, immediately called over the finance manager Zheng Jia, and then lent the company 100 million yuan in his personal capacity.

[Boss Zhipin], which was originally broke, has been fully revived!

Then, Chen Yan called Gao Yang over and instructed him, "Gao Yang, go and contact the production teams of 'Nirvana in Fire' and 'The Journey of Flower' to secure the advertising sponsorship rights for their dramas."

Gao Yang: "Okay, boss, I'll get on it right away."

If I remember correctly, both of these wildly popular TV dramas will be broadcast in the second half of this year, and Chen Yan naturally wants to secure such a good advertising channel.

After finishing these matters, Chen Yan opened WeChat and contacted Jiang Muyun: "Baby, what are you doing?"

Jiang Muyun replied immediately: "I've finished my last exam and I'm packing my things in the dorm to go home."

Chen Yingjun: "I'll come down to your dorm building to pick you up."

Jiang Muyun: "Okay, sure!"

………………

"Nirvana in Fire" and "The Journey of Flower"?
Gao Yang was about to check the news about the two film crews online when Chen Yan suddenly called him to his office.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, please drive me the car. I need to pick someone up from school."

"it is good."

Then, Gao Yang drove, and Chen Yan sat in the back of the Mercedes-Benz S400. Twenty minutes later, the car stopped downstairs in front of Jiang Muyun's dormitory.

Jiang Muyun was already waiting downstairs in the dormitory building with a pink suitcase.

With the end of the semester approaching, there were quite a few girls waiting for their parents to pick them up downstairs in the dormitory, but Jiang Muyun was undoubtedly the most outstanding in terms of both looks and figure.

She was wearing a short black down jacket with a gray undershirt underneath;

She wore simple gray tights on her lower body, brown ankle boots, and white socks, creating a playful overall style.

When Jiang Muyun saw Chen Yan's car, she subconsciously wanted to wave and greet him, but then she saw a strange man in a suit get out of the driver's seat.

Wait, isn't this my husband's car?
Who is he?
Just as she was wondering what was going on, Gao Yang quickly walked up to her and said, "Ms. Jiang, I'm Mr. Chen's assistant. You can just call me Gao Yang. Mr. Chen is already waiting for you in the car."

As he spoke, Gao Yang took the suitcase from Jiang Muyun and walked towards the trunk.

Jiang Muyun said thank you, then quickly walked to the back of the car, opened the seat, and sat down.

Chen Yan asked Gao Yang to drive because Gao Yang was now a minor celebrity at the school, and Jiang Muyun's looks were naturally eye-catching.

If I pick her up myself, someone might see me and post a picture on the class group or the school forum. If Teacher Jiang sees that, it will be troublesome.

Sigh~ Being a scumbag isn't so easy.

Better safe than sorry!

As soon as Jiang Muyun closed the car door, she threw herself into Chen Yan's arms: "Husband, I missed you so much!"

Although Chen Yan had been staying at Jiang Zhixin's house for the past few days, his vigorous body had not been effectively relieved because of Jiang's relatives' visit. Now, with the beauty in his arms and smelling the faint fragrance of the young girl, Chen Yan's heart was stirred.

However, considering that Gao Yang was still ahead, he decided to restrain himself for now: "Honey, let's go look at the houses first. Aunt Wen is already waiting for us at the sales office."

"OK."

Wen Suya had actually found a large apartment that met Chen Yan's requirements yesterday, but Chen Yan didn't have any money in his pocket yesterday, so he could only say that he would come to see the apartment a couple of days later.

As soon as the money arrived in his account today, Chen Yan took Jiang Muyun to see a house.

Half an hour later, the Mercedes-Benz stopped near Xiaoshan Boao Road, located on the banks of the Qiantang River.

The reason Chen Yan chose this area was because he knew that in three years, construction would begin on the Olympic Sports Center here, and the Asian Games would be held here in the future.

At its peak, the price of housing in this area reached 7 to 8 yuan per square meter.

The current housing price here is only 1.6 yuan per square meter!
After Chen Yan and Jiang Muyun got out of the car, they walked hand in hand toward the sales office, while Gao Yang waited in the car.

Pushing open the door of the sales office, you can see Wen Suya sitting in the rest area drinking a cup of hot coffee.

She wore a long camel coat, her two voluptuous legs clad in black stockings were crossed one on top of the other, and she wore a pair of black pointed high heels. She looked extremely elegant.

It's not fair to say she's still charming; she's certainly in her prime!
