Chapter 536 Cheng Zhu is a very evil person

Seven days later, Zhang Tao, who had "dyed with laughter", suddenly "pretended to be dead".

????????????

Bao Fan organized a dinner party and invited him and Wang Xin.

Zhang Tao had a thought in his mind: "I can't refuse."

During this period of time, Brother Tao hated Lao Wang next door!

However, no matter how much you hate me, you still have to give Brother Fan some face!

In the domestic Internet industry, his identity and status are really special.

He was one of the earliest angel investors in the Internet industry and pioneered the [investment banking + investment advisory] model. Many new VCs and PEs followed his example. Got up.

He personally has a close relationship with many of the current Internet giants. Many of the Internet giants' market difficulties require his help to solve them.

Moreover, this person's network resources are too wide and his connections are too strong.

"Drinking during non-working hours helps establish friendship first." This man with a strong charlatan attitude has taken "drinking, singing and worshiping at the pier, old gang members to recognize brothers" to the extreme.

Even his quaint style of acting has influenced a number of Internet founders who have received his help.

There is a sharp contrast between the behavior of many founders before they met him and after they met him.

In 2014 alone, Bao Fan’s China Star Capital completed nearly 50 private equity financing and M&A projects, 7 IPO projects, and 2 convertible bond projects.

Of course, what made him famous in the near future is the merger of the century between Didi and Kuaidi!

The structure of the online ride-hailing market has directly changed.

If someone else invited Zhang Tao and Wang Xin to sit down and have a meal together, Brother Tao would definitely say no!

But if it's Bao Fan, damn, this won't work.

"What does he want to do by teaming me up with Wang Xin?" Zhang Tao was a little confused.

He actually had some vague guesses, but he hadn't eaten yet, so he couldn't be completely sure.

Friends and businessmen often have dinner parties, which is normal.

When Zhang Tao arrived at the hotel where Bao Fan had booked, he had already arrived early.

Although this bald man in the magical city is not tall, he has quite a powerful aura.

Born into a family of diplomats, he traveled around the world with his parents before going to school.

After going to school in China, he was always bullied because his parents were not around and he was thin.

His grandfather was an executive of Zhejiang Bank before liberation. Seeing that his grandson was always being bullied, he took him to learn boxing and often told him about the ten-mile foreign trade and gang rules in old Shanghai.

After chatting about the world, I will take him to have a high-end Western meal full of ritual.

All of these had a great impact on Xiao Baofan.

Now, he loves F1 racing and boxing, and he has an indescribable wildness in his heart.

Otherwise, he would not like to have people in the company call him boss instead of boss.

This bald man's personal charm is extremely strong, otherwise he wouldn't have such a strong and formidable network of interpersonal relationships.

Not long after Zhang Tao sat down, Bao Fan started chatting enthusiastically with him, and their hearty laughter often sounded in the box.

So when Wang Xin opened the door and walked in, he smiled and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm waiting for you, sit down!" Bao Fan immediately waved to him.

His usual logic is: work on projects and make friends at the same time.

Zhang Tao has been very upset by Wang Xin recently. After meeting him, he must have felt a little conflicted in his heart.

But with Bao Fan sitting between the two of them, with his superb language skills and his big brother style, chatting, the atmosphere became better and better.

Obviously, he is also the kind of person who can bring the wine table culture to the extreme.

After three rounds of drinking, I could already put one arm around Wang Xin's shoulders and the other around Zhang Tao's shoulders.

After having enough wine and food, Bao Fan began to introduce the main topic.

"Recently, the domestic group buying market seems to be not very prosperous."

As a capital tycoon, it is normal for him to pay attention to these things.

Zhang Tao and Wang Xin are also happy to talk to him about this, because in addition to his personal charm, he also has extremely strong business capabilities, otherwise he would not be trusted by so many Internet giants to let him be a consultant in the company, or Manage mergers and acquisitions.

Let’s put it this way, when Bao Fan was at his peak, 15 of the top 20 domestic new economy companies by market value were clients of his China Star Capital.

Together, these new economy companies account for 56% of the total market value of domestic unicorn companies!

It is precisely because of this that there is such a sentence:

[If you don’t know Bao Fan yet, it means the business is not big enough!]

"In the past two years, this kind of seven-injury boxing has been popular in China, which will burn money at every turn, but not to mention, the market will be booming in no time."

Bao Fan did not talk about group buying, but first talked about his most glorious achievement this year - leading the merger of [Didi] and [Kuaidi].

"When everyone engages in online ride-hailing, the burn is actually worse than yours."

"Everyone wants to make a quick decision, increase the intensity, and end this money-burning war quickly. But what's the result?"

"It ended up being a severe burn for three months!"

Hearing this, Zhang Tao couldn't help but glance at Wang Xin.

He felt that Wang Xin had the same purpose now, burning at the craziest speed just to end the battle efficiently!

But what about actually?

Zhang Tao could not give in.

Even if he could agree, the Penguin boss behind him would not agree!

The scene in front of me was like a reenactment of the decisive battle in the [Ride-hailing War] some time ago.

"What if we fight for three months at a stretch?" Zhang Tao simply couldn't imagine it!

Group buying is no longer favored by capital, but online ride-hailing is different.

The market prospects of online ride-hailing in China are actually very good.

No matter how much money you burn in the early stage, you will always be able to make it back later.

What about group purchases?

[Comment] I am calculating this account, and I am doing it clearly.

If the fight lasts for several months, our company will have nothing to achieve in the future!

Therefore, he felt that Wang Xin was really sick.

At this moment, Bao Fan glanced at the two of them separately and knew that they both felt a sense of empathy.

So, he started talking about data again.

"[Didi] and [Kuaidi] were going to burn this amount of money in one day during the most intense battle!" He held out four fingers.

"Forty million a day!"

"A subsidy of nearly 40 million a day!"

When he said this, he glanced at the two of them again, and then said with a smile: "I asked them now if they felt bad about the fever and whether they regretted it, and every one of them said they felt sad and regretful."

"But what about that time?"

"At that time, I asked them to come to discuss mergers and acquisitions. At first, none of them refused to come!"

"It took a lot of effort for me to call the two founders to the hotel."

"Once the people are here, I will definitely not let them go. Anyway, they have enough food and drink, so this matter must be taken care of by me!"

Having said this, he glanced at the two of them meaningfully.

Bao Fan even laughed: "Haha, it's easier to ask you two to sit down and eat together than to ask them."

There is no way, both Mi Tuan and Dianping have done business with Huaxing.

In fact, Wang Xin and [Didi] Cheng Wei are very familiar with each other and have been friends for many years.

However, later on when he was in the limelight, this guy secretly organized a taxi-hailing business and stabbed Cheng Wei in the back. As a result, the relationship between him and Cheng Wei started to crack.

Next, Bao Fan has been leading the topic. He began to talk about the future direction of the group buying market under the macroeconomic situation.

China Star Capital can serve as a consultant to so many unicorn giants, so the credibility of his words is naturally extremely high.

Zhang Tao and Wang Xin nodded frequently while listening.

In addition, Bao Fan also frequently mentioned [Baidu]’s [Nuomi].

Yes, there is also a Nuomi watching eagerly at the side!

This made Zhang Tao feel that Wang Xin was sick even more.
