On the morning of July 16, Zhou Yuan dialed the numbers of seven venture capital leaders Kuang Zimo.

"Mr. Kuang, Mr. Xu from Tiantan Investment came to me last night."

Perhaps affected by Xu Xin, Zhou Yuan did not make any preparations and directly revealed his real purpose.

Seven venture capitalists have been in touch with him for a month. During this period, both parties have been tug-of-war over the investment amount and equity structure.

Now that Zhou Yuan has the bottom of the game, he is ready to show off with them directly.

Are you still investing?

If I don't vote, I'll look for Tiantan.

Sure enough, when Kuang Zimo heard Zhou Yuan say this, he became a little anxious, "Mr. Zhou, I'll go to you now, we can discuss everything we have."

In less than an hour, Kuang Zimo appeared in Zhou Yuan's office.

"Mr. Zhou, after all, we found you first. If Tiantan wants to participate, he has to be behind us, right?"

"Mr. Kuang, as the person in charge of Zhihu, I only have one principle for choosing a partner, that is, it is suitable for Zhihu's future development. We are not queuing up to pay the water and electricity bills. I'm afraid it's not applicable to investment when we come first, right?"

Zhou Yuan learned and sold it now, and took out what Xu Xin said to him last night to deal with Kuang Zimo.

It was hot, and Kuang Zimo walked away again, sweating profusely at this time and looked very embarrassed.

He pulled two tissues and wiped them a few sweats.

"Mr. Zhou, today we can talk about the investment amount and equity in detail."

"Okay! I'll listen carefully."

Now Zhou Yuan is full of confidence, has a leisurely attitude and is dealing with it with a smile.

In fact, the two sides had a month ago, but the reason why they didn't decide was that they had serious differences on the most critical point.

Seven Venture Capital plans to exchange US$8 million for 20% of Zhihu's equity, but Zhou Yuan feels that the future development of Zhihu will be very good, and the conditions for Seven are a bit harsh.

Now that Tiantan Investment has joined strongly, Zhou Yuan has a reliance. At worst, the talk with you will be broken. I will go to Tiantan! "This..." Kuang Zimo was speechless for a moment. He came in a hurry and was not prepared at all. What's more, the seven venture capital investors were not his own, but a company jointly opened by several partners, and several of them were foreigners, which made him unable to give a clear reply immediately.

"Mr. Zhou, the previous conditions were actually good. I promise you that as long as you accept our A round, we will definitely participate in the B round in the future."

Zhou Yuan's slut was changed at the time, "Mr. Kuang, after all, your conditions have not changed at all. Isn't this a waste of my time?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a knock on the door came from outside. The front desk of the company stepped into half of his body, "Mr. Zhou, a customer came outside, saying it was Xu Xin from Tiantan Investment. Have you seen him?"

"See, please!"

Zhou Yuan didn't expect Xu Xin to come to him so soon, so he stood up immediately.

Soon, Xu Xin walked into the office like a gust of wind.

Kuang Zimo's face turned black.

Xu Xin waved his hand at Zhou Yuan, saying hello, and then teased Kuang Zimo, "Mr. Kuang, you have a bad face. Are you unhappy when you see me?"

Kuang Zimo squeezed out a sentence from his teeth, "Who can be happy to see you?"

Xu Xin raised his head and laughed like a man, "I think Mr. Zhou is very happy to see me! What?

I've interrupted your conversation?"

"No, no, Mr. Kuang and I were just chatting, without any substantial progress."

Zhou Yuanyu brought a pun and revealed the information to Xu Xin.

He asked Xu Xin and Kuang Zimo to sit on the sofa. Xu Xin was not polite, and sat down with a big golden knife, crossing his legs, "Mr. Kuang, my Xu Xin has always been upright in his work. I am optimistic and want to invest."

When Xu Xin entered the door, Kuang Zimo's face was always gloomy. Now seeing Xu Xin being so blatantly competing with him for projects, he could no longer help, "Mr. Xu, I was the one who contacted Mr. Zhou first. Please abide by some rules."

"rule?"

Xu Xin smiled sarcastically, "I have been in the industry for so long, and I have never heard of any rules in the venture capital industry. Is there any law that stipulates that no competition is possible?

Mr. Kuang, you have been talking to Zhihu for a month, what are the results?

If you want me to say you should be wise and withdraw so as not to mislead others and yourself.”

“How did we mislead others and ourselves?

Mr. Xu, shouldn’t we be more cautious about projects worth millions of dollars? Is it wrong to have more contact between the two parties?”

Kuang Zimo asked questions.

"Stop!"

Xu Xin said two words popped up in his mouth, then ignored him and turned to face Zhou Yuan, "Mr. Zhou, I will not hesitate if I see things correctly. Mr. Kuang is here too. The three of us will show the conditions in front of us. If Mr. Zhou chooses seven, I will turn around and leave without saying a word."

"Okay!"

Zhou Yuan agreed happily, and he was also scared by Kuang Zimo. "Mr. Kuang, what Mr. Xu said makes sense. I also feel that I can't delay time. Let's make it clear today!"

He expressed the request of seven people who planned to invest US$8 million to hold 20% of the shares. Xu Xin immediately threw out the conditions for Tiantan investment, US$10 million, accounting for 22% of the shares.

Zhou Yuan quickly made an estimate that according to the proportion of the seven investors, Zhihu's valuation reached US$40 million, while according to Tiantan's conditions, Zhihu's valuation was US$45 million.

Of course, Tiantan's conditions are more beneficial to it.

Kuang Zimo gritted his teeth, "Mr. Zhou, this condition is acceptable to seven. Give me a day, and I will discuss with my foreign partners immediately and give you the answer as soon as possible."

Bang! Xu Xin slapped the table with a domineering hand, "Mr. Zhou, I can sign the contract now. If you want, come with me with the official seal. We will send you money in the afternoon after signing the contract."

How can I compare this?

Zhou Yuan looked at Kuang Zimo apologetically, "Mr. Kuang, I'm sorry, thank you for your kindness, but Zhihu really can't wait."

Kuang Zimo's mouth opened in vain, and he knew the situation was over.

The seven venture capitalists are also big companies, but the investment of $10 million is not up to him alone, but Xu Xin has the confidence to make the decision on the spot, and he lost to Tiantan's efficiency.

******* At the Dew Dough Fresh Headquarters, Yao Yuanwei was sitting in front of the computer, typing with crackling sounds.

After he and Tan Xiaotian flew to Yanjing together, they were sent by Fang Xin to the Luzhu Fresh Headquarters to report.

Ji Jiandong didn't know him at all.

This is also normal. There are hundreds of stores under the jurisdiction of Luzhu Fresh. How could the general manager recognize all the store managers?

However, Yao Yuanwei was sent by Fang Xin, so Ji Jiandong naturally did not dare to neglect, "Are you the manager of Chang'an No. 4 branch, did Mr. Tan bring you back?"

"Yes, Mr. Ji."

Yao Yuanwei stood upright in the face of Ji Jiandong's question.

"Do you know what President Tan asked you to go to the headquarters to do?"

"I think it's probably for the delivery of food."

Yao Yuanwei told the story of delivering vegetables to the elderly in the store he managed, and Ji Jiandong felt confident.

It seems that Tan always prepares to start a distribution business.

"Xiao Yao, Mr. Tan has been busy these days. You just happened to use this time to systematically sort out your ideas and form a text material. When Mr. Tan comes, you can report it to him."

"Yes, Mr. Ji."
