I am reborn and just want to concentrate on my studies

The test time for subject three is often wasted by waiting time. Yiyang was lucky today. Basically, he got on the bus without queuing. The actual test did not take long. After completing subject three, he could go directly to subject four. These tests were very simple for Yi Yang. When he got his driver's license, it was not even lunch time.

At this time, they were located at the Sixth Driving Test Base in Hanning City, an urban-rural junction near an industrial park. The outside was desolate. Jiang Lili drove the car, and the three of them wandered around aimlessly, only seeing one family. It's a rough looking restaurant.

Yi Yang smiled and said: "Let's go back to the city and have dinner. I'm treating you today! Is there anything you want to eat?"

Wang Sangning came over and said excitedly: "I want to eat fried dumplings!"

"Sister Jiang, what about you?"

Jiang Lili came to her senses and said, "Let's make fried dumplings. Is there a place that specializes in fried dumplings?"

"How about finding a tea restaurant?" Yi Yang thought for a while, took out his mobile phone and looked through it. In this era, it is not so convenient to search for a delicious restaurant, although there are already Meituan, Dianping and so on. You can check the app of the gourmet shop, but the current mobile version of the app has just been launched, and its functions are simple. Smartphones are not yet fully popular, and even 4G networks are not even covered in some places. Merchants are not used to online promotion, so It is not easy to find a good tea shop on your mobile phone.

The rise of Meituan is indeed based on the trend of the times...

After checking on his phone, Yiyang turned off the screen helplessly.

Living in the present and knowing that society will undergo earth-shaking changes in the next few years, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

At this time, Meituan was still very young and had almost no reputation.

With some interest, Yi Yang turned on his phone again and searched for news about Meituan on the search engine, but could only find some financial news briefs.

Meituan was established in 2010, which was last year. At this time, it had just completed Series B financing from Alibaba and Sequoia Capital... There is also some news about Wang Xing, which is probably these messy news.

Hmm... At present, he doesn’t know much about finance and economics. He doesn’t understand what financing is, angel rounds, ABC rounds, etc., but he probably also knows that he must have passed the investment in Meituan at this time. timing.

Jiang Lili noticed that Yi Yang was distracted and asked, "What's wrong?"

When Yi Yang saw Jiang Lili, he suddenly thought about it and asked, "Sister Jiang, do you know anything about business?"

"Well...what do you want to know about business?"

"It's nothing. I just saw some nouns when I was looking for tea restaurants online, such as angel round, round A, round B financing, etc. I was very curious and wanted to know more about it."

Jiang Lili smiled: "Well...although I'm not very good at it, I often hear my mother say these words. The words you just said are very simple, let me tell you about them. "

"You should understand financing, right? To put it simply, if you want to start a business or a project, you have an idea or a management team, or technology, but you don't have money, then when you look for money, it's financing."

"Um……"

"In this process, your project or company will go through many stages."

"For example, for example, you have an idea to invent a new type of electrical appliance. You have the idea, but there is no product. You need a sum of money to design the product. It shouldn't cost much at this time... Well, if , just 200,000, what to do, you go to your seventh aunt, eighth aunt, or classmates, and then one of your sisters tells you, I have 200,000, and I will invest it for you."

"Think of your sister as investing in your dream. This investment is almost an angel round. The amount of investment in the angel round will not be very large, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. The investors may be professional angel investors. , or maybe your seventh aunt and eighth aunt."

"With this 200,000 yuan, you went to work enthusiastically, and you actually built a new type of electrical appliance, but then you became worried again."

"Because you have created this new type of electrical appliance, but you can't sell it for money because you can't mass-produce it, you don't have a factory, you don't have large-scale mass-production equipment, and you don't have employees. In short, you have nothing, but you know your This product will definitely make a lot of money, and at this time, your seven aunts and eight aunts are helpless, and the hundreds of thousands from those angel investors are just a drop in the bucket..."

"At this time, you can choose to find a bank loan, or find VC or PE."

"VC? PE?"

"It's a company that specializes in investment."

"oh……"

"You found out about some investment companies through various channels, and then people were also very interested in your project. You showed off your products, produced beautiful business plans, and painted a beautiful picture for those investors. They were also excited and excited, saying, I will vote for your project!"

"You received a sum of 10 million yuan, and the other party's request was to get 40% of the equity of your company. You had no experience, so you thought it was no problem, so you agreed. When the funds were received, you stayed up all night, and your mind was full of thoughts. It’s what the future will look like, this 10 million is your Series A investment.”

"Next, you use the 10 million to build a factory, form a management team, and work hard for half a year to start formal operations. Finally, on a memorable day, you receive many orders for your products, you make a lot of money, and the company develops. The momentum is very good. On the original basis, you have recruited many college students and developed more products, but you find that if you want to expand, it is too slow to get the funds back by selling products..."

"At this time, some big companies are interested in your project. This time they took the initiative to talk to you. After some negotiations, you received another 50 million investment, and this time you were diluted again. 15% of the shares, but you don’t care because your company is now valued at hundreds of millions.”

"This 50 million is the Series B investment."

After a pause, Jiang Lili said: "There may be several rounds of C and D rounds of investment in the future. As long as your company continues to develop and you are prepared to continue to expand, you may continue to receive financing... That's probably it. I The example given may not be correct, but that’s probably what it means.”

Jiang Lili smiled: "Now you know what angel round, A round, and B round investment are, right?"

Yi Yang nodded and couldn't help but look at Jiang Lili... Of course, on second thought, although Jiang Lili never took the initiative to talk to them about these things, she was a rich girl in the true sense and understood these things. It's normal, but I have preconceptions about her and my impression of her is too fixed.

Suddenly feeling a little emotional, he glanced at Jiang Lili with complicated eyes.

Jiang Lili asked strangely: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yi Yang smiled: "I just suddenly felt that I didn't know Sister Jiang very well."

Jiang Lili was slightly startled and said nothing.

At this time, Wang Sangning in the back row suddenly said: "Let's go to that dumpling restaurant on Binshui Road! There are fried dumplings, steamed dumplings and boiled dumplings."

When she reached the main road ahead, Jiang Lili glanced sideways in the rearview mirror, turned on the turn signal, and slowly pulled over to stop the car.

Wang Sangning and Yi Yang both looked at Jiang Lili with some doubts.

Jiang Lili unbuckled his seat belt neatly, smiled slightly, and said to Yi Yang, "You have got your driver's license. Now you can drive."

Yi Yang was stunned: "Uh..."

"What expression do you want?"

Yi Yang immediately said seriously: "Yes, I feel very happy to be able to serve my sister!"

Jiang Lili hit Yi Yang and scolded with a smile: "You are just doing your service for me. I let you touch the car."

Wang Sangning looked at the two people in the front row and blinked lightly.

Yi Yang and Jiang Lili quickly exchanged places. Yi Yang adjusted his seat and reversing mirror, fastened his seat belt, and said, "Then, let's go!"

The car started smoothly and smoothly.

…

After a delicious meal, the three of them were not in a hurry to leave immediately, but sat in the restaurant to rest.

"Well... today is Saturday..." Yi Yang turned on his phone and pondered slightly.

Jiang Lili picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. After putting down the quilt, she took out the cosmetic case she carried with her, looked in the mirror, took out the lipstick, and prepared to refill the lip gloss.

Jiang Lili doesn't wear heavy makeup. She lives a regular life every day and maintains a certain intensity of exercise every week, which makes her skin very smooth and delicate. She just likes lipstick and likes to use different colors to match different moods, but just wearing lipstick is a bit abrupt. So I put on a little light makeup with embellishment texture.

At this time, she pursed her lips, looking pretty. After applying it, she was very satisfied. She closed the cosmetic case, then picked up the Coke with a straw on hand, gently sucked it into her mouth, and started to sip.

It was just past noon and it was nap time. After Wang Sangning finished eating, she became a little sleepy. She yawned twice and asked, "When should we go back?"

Jiang Lili said: "Isn't today Saturday? Why are you going back so early?"

Wang Sangning said excitedly: "I want to go back and take a nap, and then immediately try the learning method Yi Yang mentioned."

Jiang Lili looked at Yi Yang.

Yi Yang hesitated and said, "I don't want to go back right now, how about you go back first?"

Jiang Lili asked: "Do you have anything?"

"Well...there's a little something."

"Is it convenient to take us with you?"

"There's nothing inconvenient about this. It's just Sang Ning..."

Jiang Lili said: "Study is just a day or two away. What do you want to do? Let the two of us go with you."

When Wang Sangning saw this, she also smiled and said, "Just listen to my sister."

Jiang Lili looked at Yi Yang: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I want to buy a car." Yi Yang said.

Jiang Lili and Wang Sangning were both a little surprised.

…

The car drove to a certain 4S store.

Wang Sangning was so sleepy just now that she simply fell asleep in the back seat.

"Although this matter is your private matter and you shouldn't ask, I'm still very surprised..." Jiang Lili frowned and looked at Yi Yang who was driving: "Are you rich?"

Yi Yang smiled: "I have money."

Jiang Lili was stunned.

Yi Yangping looked at the street in front of him and spoke slowly: "Well...because my sister has never asked me about my family situation in detail, there are some things I haven't told her about."

"Um."

Jiang Lili responded casually. She did not take the initiative to ask Yi Yang too many things about his family, but that was because it was difficult to talk about it.

She would feel that asking Yi Yang about his family affairs would be adding salt to his wounds.

"My father once worked in Hanning City for a while and left me a little legacy..."

"Inheritance?" Jiang Lili blinked, a little surprised.

"But to be honest, you really haven't said much about your father." Jiang Lili smiled: "You said you don't seem to understand me very well. In fact, I suddenly discovered that I don't understand you very well either."

Yi Yang shook his head: "You can't say that. I made a mistake just now. I know my sister very well, and my sister should know me too. What you see of me is what I look like. We just didn’t know much about each other’s upbringings.”

"That's right." Jiang Lili was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Yi Yang, can you tell me more about your family?"

Yi Yang was stunned for a moment and then laughed: "Okay... In the past, it was because my sister never took the initiative to ask, so I rarely talked about it."

"Then it's settled."

"we have a deal."

The car drove smoothly, and Yi Yang's attention gradually focused on the road ahead.

Holding the steering wheel, his mood is getting better and better. At the end of the road, the far end is being drawn closer. In the peripheral vision at both ends of the field of vision, the blurry scenery quickly falls into the invisible rear, which is inconsistent with the direction of driving. There is no connection anymore, and at this moment, the steering wheel is in his hands, and he controls the direction.

It had been years since he felt so at ease.

Jiang Lili was sitting in the passenger seat and couldn't help but feel a little confused for a moment.

I already feel that I can drive very smoothly, but now as a passenger, I can still feel some differences with Yi Yang...

When Yi Yang is driving, the steering wheel is very stable. On a straight road, if it doesn't veer off, it won't veer off at all. When cornering, his center of gravity will be firmly controlled by him on the seat, and he won't be thrown around at all. Go feel.

She secretly averted her gaze.

Yi Yang's side face, the bridge of his nose is straight and upright, his expression is calm, his eyes are calm, his whole person is very relaxed, but he gives people a full sense of security.

After looking at it for two or three seconds, Jiang Lili couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, but then she thought of something, looked away, and sighed unnoticeably.

Outside the car window, rows of migratory birds flew across the sky, heading towards the warmth.

…

Why buy a car?

Yi Yang was not thinking about himself, but his second uncle.

A while ago, my second uncle's micro truck was lent to Uncle Wang in the village to draw firewood. However, an accident occurred. The car was parked on the road and was hit by a truck while overtaking. Fortunately, there were no casualties.

Unfortunately, although the second uncle's car was insured, he could only be compensated for the market price. His car was not expensive to begin with, and he could only be compensated at the price of a second-hand car. In the end, he was compensated more than 10,000 yuan. money.

The second uncle must have been extremely sad, after all, it was his first car in his life.

Yi Yang then figured that he had not repaid his second uncle anything in these years. Now that he had money, of course he would buy something for his second uncle.
