Chen Qiaoshan has been very low-key for a while. He knew that it would be impossible for him to keep a low profile after the webmaster meeting.

It has to be said that aesthetics will indeed change with the trend. As a veteran, Chen Qiaoshan really does not agree with the on-site exhibition arrangements.

Looking at today's fashion magazines, Chen Qiaoshan's first reaction was that he was eye-catching. The female star Yishui's Shamatt look really had no beauty at all, but he could only endure it silently.

When a person is out of touch with society, either try to integrate into society or choose to collapse.

Chen Qiaoshan cannot be disconnected from society. In this way, many times, he can only choose to turn a blind eye. He was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, but over time, he became accustomed to it.

I have to say that people have a strong adaptability.

Chen Qiaoshan talked for a long time, and the audience gradually turned from the initial shock to contempt, and then numbness.

It's just a two-day conference, not an awards ceremony, a fashion dinner, a top event for future billionaires and domestic Internet entrepreneurs. I've seen ones that can be played with, but it's rare for Chen Qiaoshan to be like this.

"Mr. Chen, do you have any other opinions?"

Chen Qiaoshan didn't care about the interrupted conversation. When he thought about it, he felt it was a bit difficult. Xia Chong couldn't speak to Bing. He bragged about the future situation of the Internet with a group of outsiders, and he really found the wrong partner.

After thinking about it, he said: "It is best to contact several printing shops, pull the machine over, make several stalls for printing business cards, and have logistics. The budget can be relaxed a little, but you must not lose the chain."

Liu Chang frowned repeatedly when he heard this, feeling that this man was not spending money. When the boss spoke, these people would definitely climb along the way, and they turned around and were endless.

Manager Liu was overjoyed, so he naturally agreed quickly.

Chen Qiaoshan looked at his watch and it was already ten o'clock. His schedule was full today. An hour later, he would go to see Zhou Zhengning and sign a formal mortgage agreement.

At the same time, Elliot was also on the way to Yanjing, seeing that time should have already boarded the plane.

Foreigners are quite efficient in their work. The bargaining with Sumitomo Mitsui has ended. The option contract of 2 million US dollars has been finalized, just waiting for the funds to arrive.

Chen Qiaoshan's schedule was arranged by Liu Chang for helping her, so she naturally knew the itinerary she had taken. "Let's do it today. You guys are busy first. Contact us anytime if you have any questions."

Chen Qiaoshan didn't say anything anymore and turned around and left with Liu Chang. As for the manager of the Friendship Hotel behind the crowd, he lost interest in talking with Chen Qiaoshan. A young man who was full of trains was really not worth wasting time.

...

Jianguomen, Changfu Palace Hotel.

When Chen Qiaoshan and Liu Chang arrived, they were only one quarter of an hour away from the agreed time.

As soon as he entered the hotel lobby, Liu Chang signaled to the booth not far away and said, "Lawyer Wang and the others are there."

Today I am here to sign the contract. The company does not have full-time legal affairs, so I can only ask legal counsel to check these foreign-related contracts. Fortunately, Kangsheng hires lawyers who are good at international financial business, so there is no big problem.

When he noticed that Chen Qiaoshan had entered the hotel, Lawyer Wang hurriedly brought his assistant to meet him.

As a practicing lawyer in a financial bank, the most common job is to deal with rich people. Wang Yu is used to seeing all kinds of people, but the person in front of him is really an alien.

Kangsheng's VIE structure is handled by Wang Yu's team. As the direct person in charge, Lawyer Wang naturally knows Kangsheng's real equity structure. It is hard for outsiders to imagine that the boss behind an Internet company with a valuation of tens of millions of dollars was actually a freshman.

If the first round of financing can only be considered luck, then the value of the company will undoubtedly increase significantly in the eyes of insiders.

"Lawyer Wang, I've been waiting for a long time. Sorry, I'm done just now." Chen Qiaoshan smiled and greeted, but was thinking in his heart that there would be more and more things in the future, and maybe he should find a full-time legal officer.

"No, we just arrived." Wang Yu did not dare to show any negligence. In the legal profession, there has never been a definite conclusion on which is more important, networking or professional ability. In his opinion, it is obviously the former that is more important.

Especially for financial lawyers, their ability to make a name for themselves is basically above the level, and they cannot widen the gap. If you want to attract business, you will compete with your connections and your ability to observe your expressions.

Kangsheng's development is unexpected. It can stand out in half a year. Perhaps it is not impossible to go public within two years. This is too common in the Internet industry.

Wang Yu understood that the young man in front of him was likely to be a wealthy newbie. He naturally knew how to deal with it.

Liu Chang reminded: "The time is almost over, let's go up. Mr. Zhou should have arrived."

The few people did not delay any longer. Under the guidance of the waiter, they went directly to the small conference room of the hotel's administrative lounge.

Zhou Zhengning was already waiting there, and exchanged a few simple greetings. After the lawyer confirmed the documents, both parties readily signed.

At this point, Chen Qiaoshan successfully mortgaged 30% of Kangsheng's equity in exchange for three months short-term bridge financing.

After signing the contract, Zhou Zhengning asked: "Mr. Chen, I heard that these two million US dollars will be used to invest in personal websites in China?"

As an investor of Kangsheng, although Jifu Asia does not participate in specific business, it has the right to know the company's major decisions and operations, and basically has contacts every week.

"That's right, but it's just a part." Chen Qiaoshan did not mention the oil options, and no one believed it.

Today's international oil prices are like sitting on a crater more than a year ago, with a possibility of collapse at any time, with an annual increase of more than 50%, which is indeed worrying. All institutions, including Goldman Sachs, have negative stances, and coupled with sufficient supply and weak demand, they cannot be maintained for a long time no matter how you look at it.

Zhou Zhengning was a little surprised. He still had some understanding of Chen Qiaoshan. He mortgaged his equity at a discount, and it was short-term loans, so it was definitely not as simple as venture capital.

He asked intently, but in the end he gave up. The interest rate for the three months of this fund exceeded one million yuan. It must be a short-term project. If you continue to ask, it would be a bit of a simple and profound meaning, but it would be unsightly.

Liu Chang took out a document and said, "Mr. Zhou, this is Kangsheng's recent report."

"The application volume exceeds 80,000?" Zhou Zhengning just opened and glanced, and was startled by the numbers in front of him.

In just two months, the daily new application volume increased from 200 to 1002.20 to 1002. This is just the application volume of Discuz, and this increase is too scary.

Zhou Zhengning even doubted whether there was any problem with the data. The two sides signed a bet agreement, and there was also a performance reward clause of 2 million US dollars, which corresponded to an installation capacity of 150,000. If this continues, Jifu Asia will have to compensate Chen Qiaoshan and Dai Zhikang for nearly 1.4 million US dollars in less than two months.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhengning's suspicion deepened a little more. Chen Qiaoshan might be paying attention to the money, "Mr. Liu, has this data been verified?"

Liu Chang laughed and said, "Please rest assured that this is the data. If Mr. Zhou has any questions, he can check it at any time."

Chen Qiaoshan watched coldly, and then interrupted: "Mr. Zhou, I think this way, Jifu Asia can send an employee to Kangsheng, which will facilitate future communication and coordination. What do you think?"

Chen Qiaoshan is just right. Since you have any questions, I will put it directly on the table so that I can avoid the suspicion of being under the melon field and plum blossoms.

Zhou Zhengning believed it in his heart, but when the dispatcher said it, he didn't take it seriously.

For Jifu Asia, Kangsheng's investment is not large. Even if the bet fails, the investment will not exceed four million US dollars. There is no need to waste manpower.

Although Zhou Zhengning's question had been reduced by a few points, he still asked: "Why has the growth of user numbers suddenly increased so much?"

"Mainly at the suggestion of Mr. Chen, we have done several targeted tasks." When talking about this, Liu Chang was convinced. Not only the new users, but also the paid users have also increased significantly. If the promotion cost is not considered, it may not take long to achieve a balance between revenue and expenditure.

Zhou Zhengning was slightly surprised. He knew very well, but Liu Chang and Dai Zhikang were taking care of Kang Sheng. Chen Qiaoshan stayed in Hong Kong for half a month and was more like a hand-off manager. Every time he communicated with his performance, Liu Chang was also responsible for it. He had never seen Chen Qiaoshan intervene.

"I hope to hear the details."

Liu Chang looked at Chen Qiaoshan and saw that he was not moving, she had to continue saying: "We first made a conversion tutorial for the Dynamic Network Forum to facilitate users to transition to Discuz."

"Then we jointly acquired the backward people with Qingshan Forum. This is the largest gathering place for webmasters. It has a clear demonstration role and has now become Discuz's display platform. In addition, this webmaster conference has a significant role in publicity for Kangsheng after the momentum."

"During the conference, we will continue to increase publicity efforts and strengthen cooperation with print media and online media. I believe that after the conference, the application volume of Discuz will explode." Liu Chang was also full of confidence. Although she was not clear about Chen Qiaoshan's intention to raise funds, she was too lazy to ask about it as long as it did not hinder the normal operation of the company.

She knew Chen Qiaoshan's wealth, and even if the two million were compensated, she had nothing to worry about.

With the current momentum, the betting agreement will soon end, and this money alone can offset most of the loans. What's more, Liu Chang doesn't believe that Chen Qiaoshan will let the money go away. With his style of doing things, it would be a strange thing not to make three or five times the money.

Zhou Zhengning was completely at ease. As long as there was no fraud involved, the better Kang Sheng developed, the better he would be. Even if he lost the bet, he would have no objection to the huge future gains.

At noon, Chen Qiaoshan was the host and invited a thank-you banquet.

Changfu Palace itself is a Japanese-owned five-star hotel. No one else looked for another place, so they chose the Songfeng Teppanyaki Restaurant on the second floor.

Chen Qiaoshan has no special feeling about this thing. He prefers to barbecue by himself or go to a Western restaurant, which is more refreshing.

Seeing the chef whispering a lively Brazilian flower dragon inhumanely and playing with knife and fork, Chen Qiaoshan was very helpless. The taste was really good, but he lost his patience.

After lunch, after chatting with Zhou Zhengning for a few words, Chen Qiaoshan got up and said goodbye.

As a specially invited venture capital fund representative, Zhou Zhengning will also attend this webmaster meeting, which is considered as a platform for Kangsheng.

Whether to invest or not is another matter. He is the person in charge of Jifu Asia and China, and he has over 100 million US dollars of venture capital, which is also a good publicity point for the webmaster meeting.

Chen Qiaoshan and Liu Chang rushed to the Friendship Palace again, and Elliot had arrived.

Liu Chang was still driving steadily, but today it was a bit strange, she obviously had some thoughts.

Chen Qiaoshan reminded: "Sister Chang, there is a future billionaire sitting in the car. At least you can see the bottom road, I cherish my life."

Liu Chang couldn't help but give him a blank look. This guy usually looks serious but doesn't have a good appearance in private. Fortunately, she is used to it.

Chen Qiaoshan asked, "What are you thinking? Are you having a quarrel with Lao Wang?"

Liu Chang said angrily: "Okay, stop guessing. I'll ask you, what are you going to do when you borrow money from Mr. Zhou this time?"

"Of course it's an investment." Chen Qiaoshan replied, and then said wonderingly: "What are you asking about these things?"

Liu Chang hesitated a little, and after thinking about it, she said: "Dashan, I have a lot of money in my hands. My parents support me to pay the first payment. You also know that Lao Wang has a strong sense of self-esteem and doesn't even have a household registration now. He is a bit macho, so I can only spend it with him. If you have a good project, I will be my share."

Liu Chang also thought for a long time, and she witnessed Chen Qiaoshan's starting lineup.

This guy is simply an alien. Although Kangsheng and Qingshan Forums emerged quickly, huge amounts of funds are also indispensable behind it. All of this money is obtained from the capital market. In this harsh environment, it is a bit incredible to think about it.

"No problem." Chen Qiaoshan did not hesitate at all. After all, Liu Chang was also a veteran of the company. No matter what, there was no need to refuse.

Of course, he could not let Liu Chang get involved in overseas capital transactions, and there was no way.

Chen Qiaoshan had already thought it clearly. Since Wang Wei wanted to pull him into the group, he might as well participate in it.

Nowadays, private equity firms are all underground or semi-underground, and the levels are uneven, but Chen Qiaoshan is not very worried. With the technical style of the Ningcheng system, it is definitely impossible to lose money. On the contrary, in order to make a name for itself, it may be safer in the early stage.

Even if it is a Ponzi scheme, early investors will make money.

Chen Qiaoshan was fully prepared to get involved. He knew in his heart that it would be a matter of time before private equity was done, but fighting alone would definitely not work. So he would just follow the touch and talk about it.

Liu Chang was very happy, "Dashan, thank you."

She didn't ask about investment at all, but Chen Qiaoshan took the initiative to ask: "How much are you going to invest?"

"I will go back and get together with Lao Wang." Liu Chang thought about it. She was very simple. Chen Qiaoshan dared to borrow more than 10 million, but she invested more than 100,000 yuan, but it was not a big problem.

Chen Qiaoshan reminded: "Sister Chang, you have to think clearly. This time I am planning to do private equity with others. I am an investor. If I don't participate in management, there will definitely be risks. You'd better discuss it with Lao Wang."

"No need to discuss, I have worked in the bank and know some of the situation." Liu Chang was very interested.

Now is the era when Wang Yawei became famous. However, in Liu Chang's opinion, the name of the most successful fund manager in China is obviously not in line with the real name. Compared with Chen Qiaoshan, the performance is not the same level.

Chen Qiaoshan started his career with a scholarship worth tens of thousands of yuan, and it increased by more than 300 times in a year, with a return rate of 30,000%. No one believed it if he said it.
