Back to 2010 as a scholar

"Come in." Xie Yunqian said to Song Gangyi strangely, and dragged him into the room while talking.

Song Gangyi had no choice but to be dragged forward by the girl's clothes.

In the past few days, he has kept in touch with Xie Yunqian every day, and often inquires about Xie Yunqian's hobbies and habits. He has already prepared for this day in his heart, and he also thinks that he must give him a good impression when the time comes.

But yesterday, Xie Yunqian used Xie Jing's name to tell him to come here today, and when he arrived, he realized that it was the girl's intention.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the son-in-law came to the home of his father-in-law and mother-in-law to pay New Year's greetings.

Although the relationship has only been confirmed for a few months, the relationship between the two is at the sweetest stage. Xie Yunqian's move also treats Song Gangyi as the other half.

As the father, Xie Jing obviously misunderstood that Song Gangyi insisted on choosing this time to put it up, and Song Gangyi was tricked a little, but he couldn't explain it, after all, this was also the girl's beautiful wish.

Song Gangyi brought in the gifts in large and small packages, and as soon as he entered, he found that Xie Yunqian's house was full of secrets.

The screen at the entrance to the house is embroidered on the whole side, inlaid with a glazed frame. The inside of the screen is a side hall, with New Year pictures or handwriting hanging on all sides. Song Gangyi heard it before he looked carefully. Xie Yunqian was urging him to walk faster.

Song Gangyi quickly retracted his gaze and quickened his pace to walk forward.

However, he obviously felt his body tense up. The furniture and paintings he saw just now looked expensive, and even the decoration on the walls showed high-end and noble.

I accidentally bumped into it, and I don't know if I can compensate for cutting off the flesh from my body.

Walking out of the side hall and looking inward, Song Gangyi felt that his field of vision suddenly became brighter. The main living room of Xie Yunqian's house has a ceiling height of at least 5 meters, and the walls are made of pure white marble, as well as the huge floor-to-ceiling windows next to it. It looks very tall.

"Aunt Wang, there are guests here, hurry up and bring a cup of tea." Xie Yunqian trotted to the restaurant and said to a middle-aged woman in an apron.

"Here, come, you said that someone is coming, I've already prepared it." A middle-aged woman called Aunt Wang walked towards the living room with a cup of ground tea served in a celadon teacup.

Song Gangyi walked all the way, felt the luxury of Xie's family, and felt that the gift in his hand was out of place with the environment, but looking at the beautifully decorated decorations around him, he didn't know where to put the gift.

"Leave these things to me. You just sit down." Fortunately, Aunt Wang came over and put the tea on the coffee table, and took the gift from Song Gangyi.

"By the way, are you going to have lunch here?" Aunt Wang asked as if remembering something.

"Eh..." Song Gangyi sat on the sofa in the main living room cautiously, just took a sip from his teacup and didn't reply.

"What to eat, I didn't prepare food for one person today." Xie Jing came out from one side, and said with an ugly face after hearing the question.

"You go to the study with me first, and leave after talking about your affairs." Xie Jing left after saying a word, and walked towards the other side.

Seeing Xie Jing's expression was wrong, Aunt Wang had no choice but to put on a helpless look, as if she was saying to Song Gangyi, "Young man, I can't help you anymore."

After confirming that her father had gone far, Xie Yunqian whispered to Aunt Wang, "It's okay, Aunt Wang, don't listen to him. Make more dishes for lunch. You can't let the guests go back without eating, right?"

After speaking, he took Song Gangyi's arm and pulled him to follow Xie Jing's pace.

"It seems that your father is not in a good mood today." Song Gangyi whispered to Xie Yunqian.

"Oh, it's okay. It's just that during the Chinese New Year, some relatives were too shameless and made my dad angry, not against you." Xie Yunqian comforted.

After walking for half a minute, Song Gangyi, led by Xie Yunqian, came to a spacious room with a pile of bookshelves. There was a mahogany desk and matching chairs, and Xie Jing was sitting on the chair flipping through books.

Apparently this was his destination.

"Xiaoqian, why don't you go out for a while, didn't you say you want to learn how to cook, why don't you learn now if you have the opportunity?" Xie Jing looked up and said, obviously he wanted to send Xie Yunqing away.

"No, no, this project has a lot to do with me. Why should I go? I won't leave today." Xie Yunqian said coquettishly, thinking that staying here could help Song Gangyi relax atmosphere.

Xie Jing gave Song Gangyi a displeased look, apparently he wanted Song Gangyi to persuade Xie Yunqian to leave.

"Um, Uncle Xie, our project has five founders, and Xiaoqian is indeed one of them." Song Gangyi said under pressure after deliberating his words.

"Don't stutter when you speak, what to say, what to say, can't you say it after you think it over?" Xie Jing closed the book after listening, and said sternly.

"Well, okay." Song Gangyi also knew that he used too many particles in his usual tone, but now Xie Jingyi told him that he sat up straight and said seriously.

"Tell me what your bike-sharing project is?" Seeing Song Gangyi sitting upright seriously, Xie Jing felt better, and he started today's topic.

Song Gangyi began to briefly explain to Xie Jing from their concept of shared bicycles and the current development of Yangli bicycles.

"Now the number of users of our software has reached 4000, and the development is very good. There are already several companies interested in investing in our project. The follow-up is to establish a company, and then continue to increase the amount of shared bicycles until it reaches the market all over the country. .” Song Gangyi talked eloquently.

"Well, it sounds like that." Xie Jing's brows relaxed after hearing this. From Song Gangyi's introduction, he knew that this kid had a few brushes, and he wasn't just messing around.

"Why didn't my future plan involve overseas content? You must know that the goal of many people now is to expand their business to overseas markets." Xie Jing asked the first topic he cared about.

In this era, many companies still have the mentality of adoring foreigners and wanting to let foreigners use their products, so as to have a strong style.

"The domestic market is already a very big cake, and it is not easy to eat a small piece. Moreover, there are two environments at home and abroad. I think our model can be successful in China, but it may not be successful abroad. "Actually, the two bike-sharing plans in the previous life ended in failure, and the result of brainless overseas expansion was waste of land and money.

"Oh? Didn't you say that this model of shared bicycles was introduced into China after it was developed and matured overseas." Xie Jing stopped entangled after throwing down a sentence, and then asked: "You said that this project can leverage hundreds of millions of people. With an output value of billions, giant companies have at least a market value of several billions, is your final plan to IPO your company?"

ipo, initial public offering.

This is an operation that most entrepreneurs are looking forward to. After issuing a prospectus to the China Securities Regulatory Commission and completing the initial public offering, the company can go to the corresponding stock exchange for listing and trading, commonly known as company listing.

The biggest role is to raise funds from the public and cut leeks to the greatest extent.

"I don't think we can reach this point. In the long run, shared bicycles can only be used as part of a large-scale Internet ecological chain, without very unique value." Song Gangyi said with a wry smile.

"So what is your goal?" Xie Jing asked.

"First try to make the company as big as possible, and then sell it at a good price. To be honest, everyone knows the concept of shared bicycles. It is very easy to copy and follow suit. After playing, there is a high probability that capital will burn each other's money to grab the market. In the end it is not When one company overwhelms the other to form a monopoly and then raises the price, it is a relatively balanced state after the government intervenes." Song Gangyi explained.

In the previous life, Mobike and the little yellow bike fought. Mobike sold itself to Meituan and cashed out billions of dollars, while the little yellow bike mortgaged all the bicycles to Ali. I’m afraid they want to continue to burn money, but in the end they end up as human beings. Lost money.

Song Gangyi's nature is still mainly conservative, and to be honest, after studying so hard in the first semester of his freshman year, he really felt physically and mentally exhausted.

I studied hard for a year in my senior year of high school just to change to a better background, so that I can have a better lower limit in the future and live a more comfortable life.And now, after entering university, he and several others have been working hard for several months because of this bike-sharing project, and it is expected that this period will continue for several years.

So desperate for that? Sometimes Song Gangyi can't help but think of this question.

Although the CEOs and presidents of those companies are all dragons and phoenixes, with incomes exceeding tens of millions, they are also entangled in mundane affairs, and there is no rest day 360 days a year.

Song Gangyi felt that being with the bosses or executives of these listed companies looked glamorous. In fact, they were not as happy and carefree as the natives in Yangcheng and Pengcheng who rented out more than a dozen houses.

As the money reaches a certain level, isn't it just an increase in numbers if it increases further?Even if you are a multi-millionaire and a billionaire, you don’t need to eat, drink, and scatter, why can’t you live a little easier for yourself.

Song Gangyi wanted to try the taste of starting a business because of his prophetic ambition, but after more than half of it, he found that the process was too tiring and hard, and the harvest seemed not as great as he imagined.

His current idea is to push the project forward as soon as possible, blow up the balloon of this thing, and then sell it to other big factories.While cashing out and leaving, he can be directly financially free, and at that point, Song Gangyi decided to retire early.

Everyone has their own criteria for identifying financial freedom.According to Song Gangyi's understanding, the money in his hand should allow him to live comfortably without income in the next 30 years. From the current point of view, Song Gangyi's goal can be achieved with 5000 million in cash.

If 5000 million cash is stored in the bank, there will be at least 150 million interest a year.The consumption level of 10,000+ a month can completely make Song Gangyi happy every night.And this is not counting the search for private placements or large-scale deposit certificates from banks. Private placements and large-scale deposit certificates will obviously be much higher than the 3-point annual interest rate that banks offer to ordinary people.

"I didn't expect you to set your goals so small. It's good for young people not to aim too high. The domestic market is very cruel. If you don't have any background, it is difficult to start from scratch. Even if you make the cake bigger, you will be picked. Peach. On the contrary, it is possible to get a share of the pie with a smaller appetite." Xie Jing was obviously satisfied with Song Gangyi's thoughts, and even said a few more words.

"If you want others to buy your company at a high price, you need a high valuation. How are you going to get investors to spend more money to package your company?" Xie Jing asked.

"Cars, a bicycle may cost three or four hundred, but one million bicycles is hundreds of millions. The country is so big that it can accommodate tens of millions of shared bicycles. It only needs to seize enough market and create an expectation. , with enough room for imagination, our valuation is big enough.”

"So, our first step is to start from Yangcheng University of Science and Technology, then eat up all the universities around the campus of Yangcheng University City, enter the whole city, and then continue to develop to the surrounding big cities, and finally we can achieve our goal .” Song Gangyi said.

"It's okay for you to play in school, but it's very difficult to get into the society. Without official support and government endorsement, it's impossible for you to go to the streets and alleys. According to what you said, the whole city Everyone accepts your bicycle, and the city administrators will have to consider it comprehensively, and they won't let you in so easily." Xie Jing shook his head and said.

"Then what should we do, Dad, you must have a solution, right?" Xie Yunqian said coquettishly, seeing Song Gangyi frowning as if there was no particularly good solution.

"Hey, let me give you a trick. Find a way to arouse public opinion, light a fire in the society, and let this fire help you knock on the door of the government. You guys are a group of young people who don't know society. How much pressure is there from public opinion, what you have to do is to guide the public opinion, let the governments of other cities take the initiative to welcome you, so that your road will be smoother and smoother." Xie Jing said.

Seeing that Song Gangyi was still ignorant, Xie Jing went on to say: "Your career is too low-key, and it only spreads in a small area. You should let the whole country pay attention, and then you will find that there will be many Power is pushing you. As long as you succeed in building momentum and succeeding in the first city, it will be a matter of course to open the doors of other cities later.”

"But we don't have the ability and strength in Yangcheng for us to develop." Song Gangyi thought for a while and said.

"Yangcheng doesn't have it, but Xining City does. I still have some energy here, but it's not that simple if I want to make a move." Xie Jing said inscrutablely.
