Back in 2010: I owned 100,000 Bitcoins

Seeing Lei Jun again, Lu Pengfei laughed and shook his hand.

"Haha, Brother Lei, we are disturbing you again!"

Hearing Lu Pengfei call him Brother Lei, Lei Jun thought to himself that this young man is really thick-skinned. Do I know you very well?

But he wasn't jealous, he smiled and patted Lu Pengfei on the shoulder.

"Young man, at my age I can be your uncle, how can I still call you eldest brother! Call me Uncle Lei!"

Lu Pengfei laughed and said, "Why don't I call you old when I call you uncle? It's better to call you brother Lei because it makes you look younger!"

"You don't like people calling you Brother Lei? How about I call you Lao Lei? It seems friendly!"

Mr. Lei was speechless for a while, thinking, "What the hell is Lao Lei?"

He said helplessly, "Then you should call me Brother Lei!"

Lu Pengfei felt happy when he saw Lei Jun's speechless expression and thought to himself.

"Young man, you still want to take advantage of me. You don't know that we have worked in sales. Climbing up the ladder is a basic skill!"

While Lei Jun was talking, he brought Lu Pengfei and Lu Pengfei into the office.

After Lu Pengfei and Lu Pengfei sat down, Lei Jun stood in front of the desk, leaning his butt on the desk, crossing his arms and saying.

"Tell me, what do you want to do here today? You don't want to buy shares in Xiaomi, do you?"

Hearing this, Lu Pengfei clapped his hands and said, "Hey, Brother Lei is so awesome. I really came here today to invest in Xiaomi!"

"Didn't I reject you before? Why are you here today?"

"Have you figured it out and can you accept the valuation of Xiaomi at US$[-] million?"

Lu Pengfei smiled and said, "Just because I refused last time, it doesn't mean I can't come today! How can a business be concluded in one go?"

"It's just like a man pursuing his girlfriend. He should pursue her the first time she meets her. If she doesn't know you before, of course she will reject her if she doesn't understand you.

But as the time of contact increases and the number of courtships increases, the two people gradually become familiar with each other, and the chance of their confession being accepted becomes much higher! "

Didn't you say that you only accept investments from acquaintances? Then I will come here a few more times, and you will get to know me once, and you will get to know me over time, right? "

Lei Jun was speechless when he heard Lu Pengfei's words.

He smiled and said, "Aren't you a scoundrel!"

"How can you call me a rogue? I call you perseverance!" Lu Pengfei retorted with a smile.

Lei Jun was speechless, thinking that this young man's first meeting was nice, why are you so shameless today?

Then the two started chatting. In fact, Lei Jun was very busy. He had a lot of documents to read, and the employees below also had many reports for him to make decisions on.

Lu Pengfei shamelessly sat there drinking tea without leaving, and did not mention the matter of buying a stake in Xiaomi.

Lei Jun was too embarrassed to chase people out. He looked at Lu Pengfei sitting there drinking tea leisurely, and he was so busy here that he was dizzy.

For three days in a row, Lu Pengfei came every day and chatted with Lei Jun about miscellaneous things, but the most talked about was about the future of the Internet.

Lu Pengfei proposed the term "ecological chain" to Lei Jun for the first time, which made Lei Jun a little excited. What he just wants now is to make the Xiaomi mobile phone as good as possible.

He really hasn't thought much about future development, but he likes the idea of ​​ecological chain.

I heard Lu Pengfei say that in the future, mobile phones will be like part of a person and a terminal that connects all things.

Smart TVs, smart air conditioners, refrigerators, sweeping robots, lights, curtains, etc., the future is a world where everything is connected.

Thinking about that kind of life, it was like living in a science fiction movie, which made his blood boil.

He was almost forty years old, and for the first time he talked about his future life with Lu Pengfei like a child.

Lu Pengfei didn't hide his secrets and told Lei Jun everything that future generations would know. Anyway, these were the same old paths that Lei Jun had walked in his previous life. If he didn't tell them now, Lei Jun would know them in the future.

It's better to say it now and have a good relationship with Lei Jun.

The value of information lies in its timeliness. It does not need to expire now!

Lu Pengfei's words benefited Lei Jun a lot, and he felt that he had found the path for Xiaomi's future development.

He sat on the sofa and thought about it carefully, looking at Lu Pengfei who was sitting opposite and drinking tea, feeling a little helpless. "

He asked, putting down the document in his hand.

"Tell me, how much can you value Xiaomi at most?"

After hearing this, Lu Pengfei quickly sat up from the back of the sofa, straightened his posture and said, "I will value Xiaomi at most US$[-] million, invest US$[-] million, and hold [-]% of the shares!"

Lei Jun shook his head after hearing this and said, "Twenty percent is too much, I will give you at most [-]%, and Xiaomi's minimum valuation cannot be less than [-] million US dollars."

Lu Pengfei thought about it and said, "Ten percent is somewhat different from my inner goal, but I have an idea now and I wonder if Brother Lei agrees with it?"

"Oh, what's the idea?"

"I want to make a bet with Brother Lei!"

"Tell me."

"We all take a step back. I now value Xiaomi at US$[-] million and invest US$[-] million. I only hold [-]% of the shares."

"But we have to sign a gambling agreement."

"If Xiaomi does not set up an offline physical store before it goes public, I will return [-]% of the shares for free on the day Xiaomi goes public; if Xiaomi sets up a physical store before it goes public, that means what I mentioned in my previous plan The strategy is right, then Xiaomi will give me [-]% of the shares free of charge after listing!"

After hearing Lu Pengfei's words, Lei Jun didn't say anything. He lit a cigarette and thought for a long time with his head lowered and his brows furrowed.

Lu Pengfei didn't bother him, just sat there and waited quietly with Wu Chunjiao.

The office was quiet for a long time. After Lei Jun finished smoking a cigarette and carefully wiped the ashtray clean with a paper towel, he asked Lu Pengfei in a solemn voice.

"Do you really think that Xiaomi can't develop without using offline channels?"

"I firmly believe that if Xiaomi does not go offline but only goes online, it will never be able to defeat other manufacturers!"

Lei Jun said with determination upon hearing this.

"Okay, I'll make this bet with you.

I believe that my strategy, Xiaomi does not set up offline stores or factories, is the most correct route! "

Lu Pengfei felt happy when he heard this, thinking that he was just waiting for your words.

Quit gambling! Lao Lei, if you bet every time, you will lose every time. You are indeed a gambler.

Thinking that the billion dollar bet with Sister Dong would also be lost in the future, I felt sad for Lao Lei for a second.

After that, Lu Pengfei quickly called Xiong Kai from the company and asked him to arrange for a lawyer to come over and review the contract.

Hearing that he wanted to invest in Xiaomi Company and sign a gambling agreement, Xiong Kai personally led two lawyers to Xiaomi Company.

Finally, the two parties signed an investment contract and a gambling agreement under the witness of a notary office.

Lu Pengfei invested US$[-] million in Xiaomi, accounting for [-]% of the shares.

Another bet is that Xiaomi will not have offline physical stores (including other methods) before going public, and Lu Pengfei will return [-]% of the shares free of charge;

If a physical store is set up, [-]% of Xiaomi's shares will be transferred to Lu Pengfei for free before it goes public!

On this day, Lu Pengfei unexpectedly received a call from his mother.

On the phone, my mother happily told Lu Pengfei that his father, Lu Shangxue, had been successfully elected as the village chief.

Hearing the news, Lu Pengfei felt a little happy for his father, but he was not surprised.

In recent years, the villagers in the village have been bullied very badly by Lu Laoliu.

Suddenly, a person who is usually quite popular appears and wants to lead everyone to get rich together. As for whether he can succeed or not, they have to choose him and give it a try.

Now the villagers in the village really need a strong village chief to lead everyone to get rich together.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Lu Shangxue was selected.

On the phone, Lu Pengfei told his mother that he would send a document to his father in two days.

It will introduce the village's future development strategy in detail, and I will also explain it to my father via video chat when I have time.

After hanging up the phone with her mother, Lu Pengfei and Meng Yinan chatted for a while. Meng Yinan has now settled in Palo Alto, San Francisco Bay Area, United States.

Meng Yinan did not choose to live on campus, but rented a house near the school.

When she went abroad, her parents gave her more than [-] US dollars in living expenses.

In addition, she usually uses computer technology to earn some private money online, and her life in the United States is not very difficult. Compared with other international students from ordinary families, she is much happier!

Originally, Lu Pengfei said that he wanted to send her some money, but Meng Yinan firmly refused, saying that she would not ask for his money.

Lu Pengfei persisted several times, but when he saw that Meng Yinan was about to get angry, he quickly stopped and did not dare to mention it again.
