Chapter 238 Every dream can be bid(1/2)

After handing over the task of purchasing online copyrights for film and television dramas to Lin Lisong, the first thing Ren Pingsheng did next was to run to the nearest Mercedes-Benz 4S store, and he wanted to buy a car.

When he was in Yanjing before, Ren Pingsheng didn’t feel the need to buy a car. After all, his career foundation was in Hanhai City. In Yanjing, there was nothing he needed to worry about except for three houses and the "Shunwei Fund", so he would not live in Yanjing for a long time. It was not cost-effective to buy a car and put it in the garage all day.

Anyway, due to the traffic conditions in Yanjing City, I was driving on the road, so it would be better to get the traffic jams from others and I would feel much better.

But now it’s different. Since he attended the EMBA of the Changjiang Business School, Ren Pingsheng has gradually discovered the importance of Yanjing City. Whether in terms of policy resources or personal connections, it is richer and more complex than Hanhai City. Although Ren Pingsheng will not change his idea of ​​taking Hanhai City as the basis, he found that he has many industries in the future that need to be developed in Yanjing City.

In this way, Ren Pingsheng will not have less time in Yanjing City in the future, and it is still necessary to buy a car.

Not to mention anything else, the students from the EMBA presidential class of Changjiang Business School went out to have dinner together. They were all full-time drivers from Yishui to wear luxury cars. Although they didn’t like to compete, they were still a boss with a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars. It was really unreasonable to have no car.

Even if Ren Pingsheng wants to keep a low profile, sometimes and in some occasions, you cannot tolerate your low profile, and you still have to pay attention to the necessary pomp.

So Ren Pingsheng figured it out that since he wanted to buy a car, he had to buy a better one.

Luxury brand C-class cars like Audi A6L can no longer be seen by him. Although luxury brand D-class cars like A8\7 Series\S-class are qualified, Ren Pingsheng feels that it is too old-fashioned and conservative. It is really unreasonable to drive a D-class car without a driver. It is better to buy a more personalized one if you drive it yourself.

So after a walk around the Mercedes-Benz 4S store, Ren Pingsheng pointed to the only titanium silver Mercedes-Benz SLK convertible coupe in the exhibition hall:

“Just it.”

The receptionist at 4S point lit up and quickly introduced the performance parameters and characteristics of this SLK.

Ren Pingsheng listened with a smile, but he actually knew this car a long time ago.

The muscular front nose, the three-pointed star logo and the technological LED headlights form an aggressive front face. Under the steel shell is a 3.5L V6 engine with a power output of 200 kilowatts, paired with an accurate 6-speed automatic transmission and 17-inch 10-claw aluminum alloy wheels.

But these are not the most distinctive aspects of this car. What distinguishes Mercedes-Benz SLK from Porsche 911, BMW Z4 and Audi TT is its unique hardtop convertible technology. This complex mechanical structure can turn a convertible sports car into a normal closed sports car in 20 seconds. It is not like the softtop convertible made of fabric by competitors, which is greatly affected by sunlight and rain. From the appearance, the hardtop convertible is also more modern and more stylish than the softtop convertible with a black hat on the head.

Although Mercedes-Benz is not as famous as Italian car manufacturers such as Ferrari and Lamborghini, in terms of the reliability and rigor of machinery, German luxury brand sports cars are much more reliable than those Italian road bombers with cool appearance, and this car is more suitable for driving in his lifetime.

The Mercedes-Benz SLK with a hardtop convertible is one of Ren Pingsheng's little dreams in his previous life. Now he is fully capable and capable of doing this, so when he sees these two titanium silver Mercedes-Benz SLKs, Ren Pingsheng can't wait to buy it.

However, when the receptionist of the 4S store told Ren Pingsheng with a puzzled look that Mercedes-Benz SLK needed to be transferred and had to wait for about 7 days. Ren Pingsheng impatiently interrupted his apology:

"I don't want to wait, I just want spot stock, pay now, and drive away now."

The receptionist of the 4S store hesitated and said:

"This is a show car. There is also an SLK AMG in our store. The original customer canceled the order because of some funding problems. I wonder if you can accept it."

AMG is a sub-brand of Mercedes-Benz's professional modified cars. Each Mercedes-Benz with three letters has added stronger power, better training, and better parameters than the retail version of the vehicle. It can be said that Mercedes-Benz AMG is a brand that is one level higher than ordinary Mercedes-Benz.

Of course, compared to ordinary Mercedes-Benz, the price of Mercedes-Benz AMG is also more expensive. For this SLK AMG alone, the maximum horsepower of the 5.5L V8 engine and the maximum horsepower of the 360 ​​are twice that of the ordinary version. Of course, its price of 1.45 million is also twice that of the retail price of ordinary SLK.

So when the receptionist of the 4S store picked up the car, hesitated and did not work so hard when selling it.

But Ren Pingsheng didn't pay attention to these things, he only asked one question.

“Is the color silver too?”

After receiving a positive answer, Ren Pingsheng immediately made a decision.

"You drive out the car, I'll pay in full."

The receptionist of the 4S store was shining with golden eyes. He knew that he had met the legendary rich man. At this time, he was immediately full of motivation and quickly went to shunt the car.

......

It is easy to do things if you have money. After Ren Pingsheng paid the full payment, he handed over the follow-up procedures to the 4S store. He immediately drove onto the roads of Yanjing City in the titanium silver Mercedes-Benz SLK AMG.

After buying the car, the second thing Ren Pingsheng did was to drive the car to the LG Gemini Building. This time he would go to the office of "Shunwei Fund" to find Cai Wensheng.

Recently, under the auspices of Cai Wensheng, the "Shunwei Angel" Fund has invested in the two startups, "59.com" and "Dianping", and the "Shunwei Fengkou" Fund has also completed its investment in "Jingxi Mall". The investment in these projects has made the "Shunwei Fund" famous in the Beijing venture capital circle.

In particular, the "Shunwei Fund" invested 100 million yuan in "Jingxi Mall", which surprised many senior VCs\PEs in the industry and admired the courage and courage of this venture capital. However, they cannot understand the investment vision of "Shunwei Fund" at this moment, nor do they understand the logic behind this investment, but it won't take long to make the value of this investment envious.

However, in Cai Wensheng's view, the investment of "Jingxi Mall" alone was enough to impress him. Shortly after "Shunwei Fund" completed an investment of 100 million yuan, the famous "Tomorrow Capital" in the circle took out 250 million yuan to invest in the B round of "Jingxi Mall". This investment was only one month later than "Shunwei Fund", but "Tomorrow Capital" only obtained 5% of the shares of "Jingxi Mall".

In other words, Ren Pingsheng's investment increased by 5-6 times in just a few months, and this amazing profit is very rare in the venture capital industry.

Therefore, Cai Wensheng had to accept Ren Pingsheng.

This young man seems to have a pair of keen eyes, and can see which projects have great potential and which industries have bright prospects. Moreover, his investment rhythm is very accurate. Every time he catches the invested party when the invested party is most short of money, he often cuts off a generous share from the invested party.

What surprised Cai Wensheng even more was that Ren Pingsheng's investment ability was incompatible with the principles of the usual venture capital industry. He was not like those senior industry insiders. Every project needed quantitative analysis and on-site research and other processes. He did not see any communication with the investees, but made a decision based on his own speculation about the market.

This investment method that relies entirely on intuition is not professional or scientific at all, but the effect it has been fulfilled in Ren Pingsheng is very good.

However, in the venture capital industry, success or failure has always been used to judge heroes. No matter your background, no matter your education, or your theory, as long as you can invest in good projects and get excess profits, everyone recognizes you as an outstanding person.

Ren Pingsheng is such a great person now. Even Lei Jun and Cai Wensheng, who have been focusing on venture capital for many years, have different opinions about Ren Pingsheng and are the only ones who are in the investment business.

Therefore, Ren Pingsheng rarely came to the headquarters of the "Shunwei Fund" today. Cai Wensheng immediately took out the good tea he had collected for many years, and while making tea with his own hands, he joked:

"Mr. Ren, what good project has been sent today."

Ren Pingsheng leaned on the sofa with a relaxed posture, casually playing with the car keys of Mercedes-Benz SLK AMG in his hand, and said with a smile:

"I'm here to ask Mr. Cai for someone."

Cai Wensheng asked with a smile while pouring tea:

"Who is Mr. Ren want? I don't have a beauty here."

Ren Pingsheng waved his hand and said:

"I don't want a beauty, I want a man under your command."

Cai Wensheng picked up the teacup, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and said in a low voice:

"What's the name?"

Ren Pingsheng also picked up the teacup in front of him and whispered:

"Li Xinping."

Cai Wensheng seemed to guess that Ren Pingsheng would mention this person, not surprised at all. He slowly drank a sip of tea and said:

"Mr. Ren, it's okay for you to have more than one person. This person is my capable man. You just took it away. What should I do with my website?"

It’s not that Cai Wensheng is unwilling to let go. Li Xinping is indeed very special and capable.

His story is also legendary.

Li Xinping is a successful example of an Internet webmaster who started his career in the Chinese Internet industry. He was not a professional, and mastered web page technology through self-study, and established a website navigation website called ha123 in 1999. The website page of ha123 is simple and the elements are simple, but its convenient and easy-to-use functions and timely and accurate updates are just right to cater to many domestic netizens who did not know how to use the Internet at that time. Many Internet cafes and PC installers will also actively set the computer homepage to ha123 in order to facilitate customers. Therefore, ha123's click rate and viewing volume have increased rapidly, not only ranking first in navigation websites in ALEXA's statistics, but also approaching some traditional portals.

However, Li Xinping's fate with ha123 was only in 2004. He sold ha123 to the emerging Chinese Internet search giant Baidu for 11.9 million yuan and 40,000 shares, and helped Baidu gain an advantage in the search engine war.

After leaving Ha123, Li Xinping was not idle either. He continued to establish a "4388" small game website. Currently, the development of "4388 Game" is very smooth and has become the leader among web games and flas*** navigation websites.

The investor and boss of the company "4388 Games" is Cai Wensheng.

This investor, who also has the ability to instinctively recruited Li Xinping to his disciples early and gave him funds and platform support. Li Xinping did not disappoint him. With his understanding and understanding of Chinese Internet netizens, he operated "4388" very successfully.

Ren Pingsheng asked Cai Wensheng for this person because he saw his deep understanding of Chinese Internet netizens and his ideas and methods of Internet products and web design. His first shot in building an entertainment industry sector is a video website, and how to design and operate this website well requires a capable leader.

This person is Li Xinping.

After listening to Ren Pingsheng's thoughts, Cai Wensheng showed a thoughtful expression on his face, but he still brewed tea slowly in his hand, saying:

"Mr. Ren, you are a very smart person, with a very investment mind and vision. I feel ashamed of myself."

Ren Pingsheng looked calmly as Cai Wensheng poured the tea in his hand into the cup. Generally, if it started with this tone, there would be a reversal immediately. As expected, Cai Wensheng put down the teapot in his hand, crossed his hands, looked at Ren Pingsheng's eyes, and said sincerely:

"To be honest, after investing for so many years, I have made a lot of money, but I always have a regret in my heart that no listed company that really belongs to me."

"I want to make up for this regret, so 4388 and Li Xinping are very important to me."

"Can you understand what I think?"

Of course, Ren Pingsheng can understand that everyone has their own dreams, but some can be fulfilled, but most people cannot fulfill them.

Ren Pingsheng’s dream is to become a capital giant that calls for the wind and rain, Lei Jun’s dream is to leave his own epic in the Chinese Internet industry, and Cai Wensheng’s dream is to build his own listed company.

Dreams are worthy of respect, no matter how big or small.

Because of dreams, there will be upward motivation, countless innovations will be born, and our world will become better and better.

But Ren Pingsheng did not give up because of this. Although his dream is beautiful, there is still a long way to go to truly put it into reality.

On the road to dreams come true, in addition to personal talent and hard work, the course of history is also very important.

Although 4388 Games has achieved success in the field of web mini-games, it is still a long way from listing. Especially the production process of web games, most of the time, plagiarism and imitation are indispensable. The lawsuits caused by this will entangle the life cycle of 4388 Games like a maggot, and will also consume a lot of time and financial costs in judicial litigation. Even before Ren Pingsheng's reincarnation, this company that entrusted Cai Wensheng's dreams did not go public.

Of course, Ren Pingsheng would not tell Cai Wensheng directly the result, but he could point out the flaws in the 4388 game.

After listening to Ren Pingsheng's opinion, Cai Wensheng fell silent. As a successful investor, he did not see the problem, but he was confused when he was concerned. Since he placed his dream on this company, he would always think about the results in his mind in a good way, trying to avoid those bad factors with greater possibility.

"Mr. Cai, China's Internet is the largest Internet in the world and the largest user market in the world. There are many opportunities to realize your dreams. I believe you will be able to find them."

"Even if it cannot be launched in the short term, 4388 Games can provide you with a steady stream of cash flow, and you can create another Internet hot product, which is not difficult to understand the domestic Internet industry."

Ren Pingsheng was very tempted. Of course, he knew that Cai Wensheng's dream was finally realized, but it was not 4388 Games that allowed him to realize his dream of a listed company, but a company called "Mei Tu". However, the smartphone that is necessary for the birth of "Mei Tu" has not yet been popularized and has become the mainstream of the market.

However, Ren Pingsheng is not a stingy person. As long as Cai Wensheng can cooperate happily with him, he is not stingy to give Cai Wensheng a small tip for his dream at the future time point.

I don’t know if it was the flaw of the 4388 game or the words that Ren Pingsheng said later, in short, Cai Wensheng was moved. He picked up the teacup in front of him, drank it all, and his eyes returned to his original spirit and said:

"I can let go of people, but whether Li Xinping is willing to join is up, you have to say it yourself."

Ren Pingsheng smiled and nodded. The purpose of his visit this time was for this. For Ren Pingsheng, it was not difficult to persuade Li Xinping. He just didn't want to bypass Cai Wensheng and do such things. After all, everyone is the founding partners of the "Shunwei Fund" and there are still a lot of cooperation opportunities in the future. We cannot risk the breakdown of the cooperative relationship for a project.

Fighting for Cai Wensheng's approval is respect for Cai Wensheng and also value Li Xinping.
