Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 124 Influence

"Win in China" selected the top 6 in June and officially started in July. I was planning to invite Qu Li to come over, but he went to the United States for something unexpected and had not reported yet.

Qu Li is not here, but "Chasing Dreams" has become the winning theme song. Qu Li's success has made the overall quality of the contestants in the second season much higher, and the corresponding judges have become sharper. The program has caused a stir Quite a few arguments.

But no matter what, the second Qu Li did not appear in the show, but some people imitated his killer look and unruly style, which caused a lot of jokes.

"Not every junior high school student can become Qu Li. Who can master a foreign language in such a short period of time like him, and can brag in front of me and the Silicon Valley bosses without changing their expression or heartbeat? Only you can surpass He..." Jack Ma's comment quickly became a hot search topic. Originally, some people said that Qu Li was one of the three great writers born in the 80s. Later, they said that he was the most famous entrepreneur born in the 80s. Now Jack Ma said that Qu Li was bragging. Things get complicated.

Some people say that Jack Ma is afraid of Jumei's rapid development, so he wants to suppress him. Others use this to promote the breakup of Jumei and Taobao. Some even use facts as examples, saying that Qu Li's speech in Silicon Valley should be regarded as a speech for the time being. There were all kinds of grammatical errors, but he could continue speaking smoothly without any hint of tension...

Then Qu Li once again became a hot topic in the news with "Win in Zhongguo", and Jumei benefited a lot from this. Of course, the increase in categories increased user activity, and the sales of Xiangyun's hit single products increased rapidly in the summer. Many people introduced their friends to purchase from Jumei.

The best-selling items are T-shirts priced at RMB 39, followed by high-quality shirts priced at RMB 99, RMB 149, and RMB 199, canvas shoes priced at RMB 49, and anti-odor slippers priced at RMB 29, all of which are popular items.

The most important factors stimulating Jumei's surge in sales should be free shipping for orders over 79 yuan and cash on delivery support in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. In order to make the financial data look good, Jumei has worked hard.

After understanding what happened during this period, Qu Li had an indescribable feeling. Some people on the Internet used the recently popular "The Wind Rises" to mock Qu Li, saying that he was not good at singing. Mad, how could he refute this? Do you want him to say that he is better than Pu Shu?Readers will hate him.

But there is no need for Qu Li to take action. "Night Sky", "Xian'er", "Innocent Heart" and "The Wind Rises" have been liked by too many people. If you don't laugh at it, not many people know that Qu Li wrote the lyrics. Yes, if I talk too much, many people praise Qu Li for his good lyrics.Many anti-fans were depressed due to being tortured and had to admit that Qu Li was the strongest junior high school student on the surface.

He had no time to respond to the doubts from the outside world. He still had many things to deal with. Lehman and other venture capital investors responded quite positively and rushed over for a meeting soon.Perhaps the plunge in international crude oil a few days ago made James smile, and Qu Li's trump card was missing a few points.

In the capital market, everyone wants to take the initiative so that they can get whatever they want. Qu Li gradually accepted the rules of the game and had nothing to argue with the grasshoppers after the fall. Besides, Lehman Brothers' domestic private equity team did really well.

It is a matter of company confidentiality, and he has the obligation to keep it confidential when attending board meetings. Qu Li brought out the results of this period: coconut shoes that have applied for international patents, the American shopee group buying model and the team leader Brady from Amazon, and Facebook strategic cooperation agreement.

The scene was quiet. Except for the sound of reactionary documents, there was no big breath. Shen Nanpeng cursed himself in his heart. Since you invested in Qu Li, why didn't you stick to it and join in the fun with Lehman people so quickly? Got slapped in the face.

"How could Facebook sign such an advertising cooperation contract with Shopee?" No matter how Andrew looked at this contract, it was a bit fake. Why did they give away so much profit, lock in three years of development, and limit the increase in advertising cooperation prices within five years...

"I spent 5000 million U.S. dollars on Facebook with my personal funds, and only got [-]% of the shares, so I changed the current contract." Qu Li Ba Feng Bu Fu

"..."

Xiong Ge finally couldn't help but raise his head. This kid is really courageous. He is worthy of doing big things. He dares to invest in Facebook.

"Really?"

"I think news will come out in the United States soon."

Andrew has investigated Qu Li's wealth. He doesn't know the domestic situation, but his friends abroad through HSBC know some about it. It seems that there are many sources of wealth that his friends don't know about.Lehman Brothers only have a vague understanding of the rules of the domestic game, so they have not reached an internal consensus on Qu Li, a young rich man with a somewhat mysterious relationship background. After this time, the sound of friendship should dominate.

"Our results exceeded our expectations."

"That's not what I want to hear. How determined is Lehman to promote Jumei's listing? I want to see your sincerity. In addition, my efforts cannot go without reward. How should Jumei compensate me? Can you get it?" Come up with a plan?”

"No problem, that's what it should be." When Andrew heard that Qu Li paid only 5000% of Facebook's shares for US$1 million, he naturally knew that a large part of the premium was for advertising cooperation.

But what Andrew didn't know was that shopee had additional value to Facebook. Otherwise, even if Qu Li had money, Zuckerberg would not necessarily sign such a contract with Qu Li.

The structures of the two sides are different, and the issues are naturally different. For example, there was a social game company called Zynga, whose main revenue came from Facebook. When Zuckerberg felt that there was no need for these third-party application developers, he quickly changed Zynga, which lost its attitude and lacked traffic support, quickly fell from the cloud.

Zuckerberg did not make a decision in 2007 whether to support e-commerce or games. Qu Li's appearance may have coincided with the decision. Facebook has not opened its API interface to the outside world for a long time, and third-party application platforms have not made any achievements yet. So it gives them the possibility to cooperate.

Jumei has an excellent team and founder, the blessing of world-renowned venture capital, and the cooperation between Quli and Google, all of which influenced Zuckerberg's decision-making.

After Andrew surrendered, Shen Nanpeng and Xiong Ge expressed their support one after another.

"Although I'm not afraid, I still have to ask, Lehman won't be able to help the company go public until Jumei runs out of funds, right?"

"Don't worry, after Shopee achieves initial success in North America..." Andrew will have to fight for more resources with the company after he returns. Jumei may really be a good project.

"Even if it cannot go public, Jumei's development will not be affected by lack of funds." Andrew gave Qu Li a guarantee.

"I hope so!" Qu Li himself often brags and makes unreliable promises to others, so how can he believe that Andrew, an elite investment banker, did not put it on paper.

Once again, he demonstrated the capabilities of himself and the Jumei team and began to discuss equity incentive plans with these venture capital investors, especially the newly joined Brady. The development of the American business depends largely on his efforts.

Fortunately, the capitalists at Lehman and Sequoia were familiar with the routine, and Brady finally returned to the United States with satisfaction.
