I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 228 You Are the Dish (Second Update)

Puhai, Jiujiantang Ten Music Club.

Jiujiantang Villa is a very famous mansion in Puhai. Many capital tycoons have residences here, and it is also Cheng Yusi’s main residence in Puhai.

The name of Shilehui comes from the "Ten Joys of Life" proposed by the health expert Chen Zhi in his "New Book on Longevity and Elderly Care" a thousand years ago, namely: reading, talking, lying quietly, sunbathing, drinking, farming, music, calligraphy and painting, walking, and activities.

Just like the villa area behind it, Shilehui also follows the route of modern Zhou-style gardens. Japanese postmodern design master Arata Isozaki was specially invited to design it, and its main theme is a low-key luxury with an arty air.

"I lost." Cheng Yusi pushed the chessboard, put the black piece in his hand into the chess box, and wiped his hands with the towel beside him. "Teacher Xu's chess skills are still as good as before."

Xu Mingsheng laughed twice: "No, I'm old."

Then, Xu Mingsheng seemed to suddenly remember something. "These past two days, I am glad that I did not become a professional Go player. Otherwise, I would not be able to sleep well these days. AI is too powerful. Go will only be an entertainment activity in the future. The competitive nature will definitely gradually disappear."

When Liu Weiping defeated the Japanese player, a Go craze swept across the country.

At that time, Xu Mingsheng had just entered university. He had been playing chess since he was a child and was quite good at it. With his passion surging, he almost went to the chess academy to become a professional chess player.

Fortunately, his teacher pulled him back from the Go team at that time, otherwise he would not be where he is today.

Cheng Yusi smiled and signaled the waiter to serve the food.

"Nung, moon and new moon"

"Flowers and trees in front of the courtyard, cattle and sheep everywhere"

"Like a pool of clear water, with algae and water chestnuts intertwined in the water"

"My hair is filled with wild flowers, don't ask me where I'm going"

The waitress, who had a pretty face and a slim figure, and was wearing a light green silk skirt from the Jiangnan style, brought four plates of cold dishes with smooth and graceful movements. At first glance, they turned out to be drunken chicken, braised beef in soy sauce, shredded kelp, and cold cucumber.

"Did he really say that?" Cheng Yusi used a serving chopstick to pick up a piece of braised beef for Xu Mingsheng.

He knew that although Xu Mingsheng was a science and engineering man, he had become more and more cultured in recent years and liked places like this that seemed to be cultured and tasteful.

Actually, what does these four lines of poetry have to do with these four dishes?

Xu Mingsheng washed his hands in the sink brought by the waiter and nodded, "Zhang Xinnian relayed that Youzi Technology does not need VC. If you must invest, the valuation is 3 billion US dollars, and only 100 million US dollars of investment will be accepted. No bargaining, no voting rights, and this is the treatment for all VCs."

Cheng Yusi raised his eyebrows.

Since the Internet boom hit the big week 17 or 18 years ago, countless wealth myths have been created. Starting from ten years ago, these angel investors and VC institutions have become the objects of all entrepreneurs’ pursuit. Many of the capital tycoons have even become public figures with more idol aura than entrepreneurs, and have many other labels.

Cheng Yusi is one of them.

He hadn't been rejected like this for six or seven years.

You know, as the actual helmsman of Xingsi Capital, he has participated in no less than one hundred venture capital cases in the past few years, and no less than thirty of them have been profitable.

The capital in hand has also increased from the initial 8 million to 3.5 billion, and can leverage more than 10 billion in capital flow. It is undoubtedly one of the most powerful venture capital firms in the entire Da Zhou.

Is this Yuzi Technology crazy?
With a self-valuation of 3 billion Malaysian dollars, why don’t you go and grab it?
No, how else do you want us to rob?
Moreover, they only accept investments of 100 million US dollars, and there is no voting right. If I buy a certain proportion of stocks in the secondary market, I can initiate a shareholders' meeting!

Cheng Yusi understood that the conditions proposed by Youzi Technology meant directly rejecting all VCs.

Thinking of this, a hint of murderous intent appeared in Cheng Yusi's eyes.

Don't think that these people are good men and women.

When it comes to manipulating people and getting things done, not many people can compare to these venture capitalists.

Many people really have connections in both the black and white worlds. After all, people in this industry really have to solve some practical problems for the invested companies.

Find Wu Yanzhong? Well, no need. It’s too costly to find him.

Fu Gang can be used, he is the perfect match.

First, we will block your approval. If you still refuse to accept it, we will contact the Secret Investigation Department to see if you can handle it.

The murderous look in Cheng Yusi's eyes grew stronger and stronger.

"Fang Yu's grandfather is Chen Shi'an." Xu Mingsheng said as if nothing had happened.

Cheng Yusi was stunned and blurted out: "Dear?"

Xu Mingsheng nodded: "Dear."

Cheng Yusi frowned and was about to speak when the waiter came to serve the dishes.

"People on Jiantai dispersed and started shooting with longbows. People had never tasted abalone before and had never known what it was." The waiter gently served each of them a portion of braised large net abalone.

"This restaurant is really thoughtful. You know, abalone was called bream in ancient times. Miss, do you know where the two lines of poetry just now came from?" Xu Mingsheng looked up and smiled at the waiter who looked no more than twenty-two or twenty-three.

"You really stumped me. Is it Su Shi's 'Song of the Fish'?" The waiter smiled and covered his mouth.

"Hahaha, sure. Your training is great." Xu Mingsheng clapped his hands and laughed. "There are two more lines in this poem, 'I will return to the east to harvest a bushel of rice, but I will never live in a luxurious house.' Do you know what it means?"

The waitress's smile froze for a moment, but she had encountered this situation many times before, so she chuckled and said, "You are a master, much better than our lecturer, so don't embarrass a little girl like me."

Xu Mingsheng did not take it too far and laughed: "This poem means that when Su Shi returned to the east, he collected a basket of abalone and really did not want to give it to the wealthy families in Bianliang City."

Xu Mingsheng looked at Cheng Yusi and said, "Yusi, even if Su Shi was in such a bad state, he could still save a basket of abalone." "Besides, Chen Shian is not Su Shi."

Cheng Yusi frowned.

Your background may not necessarily make you stand out in a fair competition, but it can definitely ensure that you are treated the fairest in the competition.

If Fang Yu was just an ordinary college student, he could do whatever he wanted and there would be no need to worry about him going crazy.

But now...

Cheng Yusi hadn't realized that knowing this background, the one who was safe was not Fang Yu, but him.

If he really did something wrong, it would probably take less than two days for him to become disabled and lose his ability to work or for his company to go bankrupt. At worst, his past misdeeds would be made public and he would be imprisoned, living a life worse than death.

In that case, let's look for other AI companies.

We must not give up on this track, it must be the next trend.

O2O is in its infancy and the sharing economy is in full swing. The next hot spot is expected to be live streaming and short videos, but these two are capital-intensive products and are not projects that ordinary entrepreneurs can play with. Those who enter the market either have capital themselves or are already leaders in related industries.

ByteDance is said to be also developing short videos. Their team has been formed for several months and it is estimated that it will be available on the market in a few months.

It’s a pity that ByteDance’s short video project didn’t make it into the A round and was divided up by Hongshan, IDG and SIG, otherwise it would have made a lot of money.

However, AI is different.

Anyone can enter this track. As long as they have the skills and ideas, it is not impossible to recreate the myth of grassroots counterattack from more than ten years ago!

Invest in AI!

Lanwan Intelligence, Quantum Intelligence, Singularity Technology, Borui Innovation...you have to meet these startups that claim to be engaged in AI.

It’s a capital winter.

In fact, the project is also in a cold winter.

"Oh my god, that was really dangerous. Normally, there would be no problem on that bend, but it had just rained during the day and there happened to be a small puddle. As soon as I turned the corner, I slipped and was thrown more than 20 meters away. I almost fell under the roadbed!"

"Guess what happened? No injuries at all!" Fang Daqiang looked scared but proud as he patted Xu Lesheng who was peeling an apple for him. "Lesheng...my sister insisted that I come to the hospital for a checkup, but actually there's nothing wrong."

Fang Yu was also scared. Fortunately, he had given the Guardian Type 7 Amulet to his father before, otherwise he would have to prepare more spiritual power this time.

Guardian Type 7 Amulet, triggered once a day, automatically recharges, the perfect choice for naughty kids.

He casually cast an identification spell on his father and found that there was nothing wrong with him, just a little kidney deficiency. Fang Yu was relieved.

When Xu Lesheng heard Fang Daqiang say "your sister Lesheng", she couldn't help but glare at Fang Daqiang.

Fang Daqiang muttered: "Isn't it because I'm afraid of calling you old?"

"Xiao Yu, have someone take away Brother Qiang's two motorcycles quickly, otherwise something bad will happen sooner or later." Xu Lesheng stuffed an apple into Fang Daqiang's mouth and said to Fang Yu unhappily, "I can't control you two. The younger one doesn't come home every day, and the older one is a worry. He fell out and was still protecting the woman in the back seat of the bike."

"Sister Le Sheng." Fang Yu quickly changed the subject, "Leave me four consecutive inner ring cards tomorrow. Our company is organizing a team activity. Just tell Awen now."

Xu Lesheng glanced at Fang Yu, then went out to call the bar manager.

"What did you want to say when you sent Le Sheng away?" Fang Daqiang grunted, took a bite of his apple, and flipped through the newspaper in his hand. "Wow, I didn't expect your company, Youzi Technology, is so impressive. In just two days, it's been on the Sunday newspaper twice?"

"Before this, the actual payment of these people had not yet been received, and I had to pay for it. As a result, as soon as we won AlphaGo, they immediately transferred the money they owed to us."

Fang Yu leaned on the folding stool next to him and opened the pad he carried with him.

"This is the shareholder list of Yuzu Technology Holdings, this is the shareholder list of the BVI secondary holding company, and this is the shareholder list of the Cayman tertiary holding company. Please check and see if they are correct."

Fang Daqiang took the pad, looked at it carefully, and compared it with the prompts in his memo.

"Okay, no problem." Fang Daqiang breathed a sigh of relief and returned the pad to Fang Yu.

The investment that should have been accepted had already been accepted. Venture capitalists like Cheng Yusi might really be big names in the entrepreneurial circle. After a long time, they felt like they were chefs or even restaurant owners.

Little did he know that for real capital, he was just the dish.

"By the way, in the last game against Jin Da, which of the two girls sitting next to me did you plan to choose? I saw that you took the girl named Shen to Goryeo?" After finishing his business, Fang Daqiang smiled and winked at Fang Yu.

Fang Yu rolled his eyes: "We are all friends, you know? How can good friends choose who to choose?"

Fang Daqiang snorted.

Do you think your last name is Jiang? Fortunately, we are friends.

Who did he inherit this shameless spirit from? His mother is not like this.

Your book reviews are really awesome. I can't even copy them even if I want to.

You have so many book reviews. If I copy a few from here and there, won’t I be able to add 2,000 more reviews every day?

There are many things, but for fear of touching on landmines, I will definitely just briefly mention them or even not mention them at all. Just treat these things as happening behind the scenes, and let your imagination fill in what the protagonist did.

Long live understanding.
