The investor from Tencent is named Zhang Yundong, a prominent figure responsible for their investment operations.
Unlike Ali Group, which acquires companies with the intent to take control and swiftly oust founders, Tencent mostly invests and pursues collaborations rather than ousting founders.
This time, he naturally came with a mission.
After reviewing the business and performance, he couldn’t help but marvel at the vision of young people today.
Even without seeing the internal data, subconsciously, he felt skeptical about the project’s viability. After all, Taobao Tmall and Jingdong dominate the market, making it seemingly impossible for anyone else to carve out a niche in e-commerce.
However, the data and model presented by this project impressed them greatly, leaving a deep impression.
Zhang Yundong and the others couldn’t help but glance at Xu Mo and his three companions.
“It must be said, these four young people pioneered the web based sharing economy, influencing the global economy, causing a tsunami-like impact.”
“This kind of influence is likely to continue for a decade or two.”
“And now, this project is clearly more valuable, with broader ambitions. At least, the Price Slashing project strikes a chord, enough to ensure their success.”
“Such an impressive project, it’s hard to imagine it being so excellent!”
“We’re getting old! We’re all getting old! These young people are the future!”
“So young, yet such vision—it’s truly frightening! And the scale of Price Slashing and group buying is no less than that of the web based sharing economy! This young man is someone who does big things!”
Zhang Yundong and the others understood very well that, compared to investing in projects, they preferred investing in talented individuals.
“Because projects often have the possibility of failure, it’s normal for business to have its ups and downs, but talent is extremely rare.
If a person invests correctly, they are very likely to soar, let alone Xu Mo already having everything in place.
“Five billion! Don’t hesitate!”
“Isn’t having only ten percent of the shares too little?”
“A little less is okay. We need to sign a priority agreement! If he needs investment next time, he needs to find us first. If only we don’t invest can they can look for others!”
“It seems… feasible!”
“There’s no need to hesitate! Call Brother Xiao Ma! This project cannot be missed! Most importantly, I don’t want to miss these young people!”
…
Zhang Yundong and the others were very clear that Xu Mo and his friends were wealthy.
They are the founders of shared bicycles, holding f billions in their hands, so money is not an issue for them at all.
The reason they were able to be found is that they value the social networks of Tencent and Weixin Group. The model of Xu Mo and others needs to rely on the social networks of Tencent and Weixin Group for wild growth. [1]Tencent – QQ app while Weixin – Wechat
So, there’s nothing to hesitate about. Since both sides benefit mutually, the contract can be signed.
Five hundred Million is just a drop in the ocean for Tencent.
…
For Xu Mo and his three friends, it’s also very exciting.
They still remember not long ago when they financed their shared bicycles, they received investments of several hundred million, which was very satisfying.
Afterward, when the shared bicycles were sold out, they were idle for a while, not knowing what to do. However, now they have successfully raised funds again.
Five hundred million isn’t much to them anymore; they’re far from being inexperienced novices. However, hitching a ride with Tencent can fuel their rapid growth.
Naturally, the contract needs to be clearly signed, and Xu Mo doesn’t mind giving them preferential financing rights or even more shares if they want.
That’s how cooperation works, so the contract was quickly signed.
“We did it! Now, our scope is much larger! We can do so much more!”
“With money, we can advertise, offer discounts, spend another billion to attract merchants, and provide user incentives!”
“Group buying, Price Slashing, let’s go all out!”
Xu Mo chuckled.
Tang Lei and the others instantly cheered up upon hearing this.
After a brief development period, they finally had a project worth their effort again, which indeed was cause for great joy.
Upon receiving the news, Tang Lei didn’t hesitate. He immediately boasted to his girlfriend.
When his girlfriend heard that Tencent had invested five hundred million, she was almost jaw-droppingly amazed!
Of course, the success of the financing needed to remain confidential for now. Xu Mo still needed to continue his aggressive growth.
The group, holding the contract, was ecstatic. They immediately went to the vegetable market to buy wine, large lobsters, and crabs, and returned home to continue celebrating.
…
Xu Pandi’s face was swollen for two days before it subsided.
During these two days, she almost lost face and couldn’t go out.
It was only after two days that she started to look better.
When she had returned to normal, the thought of Xu Mo slapping her face, each slap harsher than the last, made her unable to bear it. She seethed with anger.
She immediately called Xu Yuanchan, intent on causing trouble for Xu Mo.
“I can’t hold back anymore! He not only insulted me but also hit me. Sixth sister, Come with me to confront him! I want to see where he thinks he can hide!”
“He dares to hit even me. He’s gone too far! Today, I must teach him a lesson!”
Xu Pandi perfectly inherited Xie Bingyan’s character, being stubborn and demanding.
As a daughter of the Xu family, she had never suffered such grievance from anyone before.
This time, she felt truly bullied.
However, Xu Yuanchan suddenly hesitated about her going to confront Xu Mo, fearing a conflict between them.
Even though she was furious with Xu Mo herself, the current situation at home clearly wasn’t right.
Xu Yuanchan said, “Fourth Sister, but Xu Mo did save you!”
“Save me? I think he’s bullying me! How is that saving me?” Xu Pandi’s anger flared, “Can’t you see what he did to my face? This time, I must teach him a lesson!”
Xu Yuanchan fell silent.
“Sixth Sister, don’t just stand there! Have you heard how he insulted our parents? He even cursed our mom right in front of her! I’ve tolerated him for too long! If our parents won’t discipline him, I will! A younger brother who doesn’t learn is a big sister’s fault!” Xu Pandi’s anger was overwhelming.
Xu Yuanchan thought for a moment and said, “If you want to teach him a lesson, fine, but you must not escalate things further! Xu Mo is influential now!”
“Influential? I want to see where he thinks he can hide! Find me some people! I’ll lead them to confront him!” Xu Pandi’s confidence soared.
“Alright!”
Unable to refuse, Xu Yuanchan found two people from school to accompany her in confronting Xu Mo.
“Xu Mo usually eats at the school cafeteria after class! Let’s wait for him there!” Xu Yuanchan suggested.
“I’ll be waiting!” Xu Pandi clenched her fists in anticipation, seething with anger.
…
After signing the contract and celebrating, Xu Mo naturally returned to school for classes.
Today was uneventful as expected. Xu Mo had lunch with Tang Lei to discuss some matters.
Gu Huanxi and Li Banzhuang also had business questions, so they gathered again to discuss future developments.
Seeing Xu Pandi and Xu Yuanchan in the cafeteria was no surprise to Xu Mo. He had anticipated Xu Pandi would come looking for him.
When Xu Pandi looked at him with a fierce glare, as if she could devour him whole, Xu Mo found it amusing. He remained calm, casually eating a few bites before speaking.
The cafeteria was crowded, and while Xu Pandi was bold, she didn’t dare cause a scene there. After they finished eating and left the cafeteria, Xu Pandi and Xu Yuanchan stepped out to intercept them.
“Xu Mo! You’re so ruthless! I’ve found you!” Xu Pandi gritted her teeth, her anger almost shooting out of her eyes.
“What do you want with me? No need for thanks! I don’t need a despicable sister like you!” Xu Mo replied bluntly, showing no courtesy.
“You… you’re still insulting me? Xu Mo, you really have no manners! I’ll hit you!” Xu Pandi erupted in anger instantly, lunging towards Xu Mo with bared teeth and claws.
At this point, Xu Mo wasn’t about to hold back either. He promptly delivered a slap, hard and fierce, across her face.
*Smack!*
Xu Pandi was instantly stunned, frozen in place, frozen!
