Now that we are reborn, who still wants to be an honest person?

Chapter 187 Mother-in-law's Affirmation
The food arrived quickly in the restaurant's private room.

This is the restaurant next to the hospital, where many patients' families come.

After sitting down.

Everyone chatted while eating.

Speaking of which, Hong Xiaolong is only familiar with Fang Zhou.

Although Hong Xiaolong had met Luo Yihe in high school, he was in his second year at that time and Luo Yihe was in her third year.

We only exchanged a few words, so we weren't that familiar with each other.

it's here.

He is only familiar with Fang Zhou.

But at this time.

After coming in, Hong Xiaolong and Feng Lili sat together, and they were whispering all the way.

Ma Jie and Xu Shiyuan didn't know about Hong Xiaolong and Zhou Qiong.

I just know that he is a handsome little boy.

And they also knew Feng Lili's previous record.

Now that the two are so close, is Feng Lili going to take action against this handsome young man?

Thinking of this, Ma Jie and Xu Shiyuan looked a little strange.

If this really happens.

Then the quality is much better than before.

Fang Zhou also saw the two people's little movements, and he knew that Hong Xiaolong was asking Feng Lili for advice on how to get rid of Zhou Qiong.

But there is no guarantee that Xiaolong will escape from the wolf's den and fall into the tiger's mouth again.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

It’s none of my business.

If this guy's brain is really like this, there's no way I can care about him enough.

At least based on Feng Lili's past record, even if she cheated on the guy, the final result wouldn't be that embarrassing. She could just treat it as a lesson for Xiaolong.

Not long after eating, Fang Zhou received a call from Hua Ke.

Phone.

The flower guest was a little panicked:
"Mr. Fang, Hangzhou has released a fast bike."

"This time, there was quite a big fuss. A company held a press conference and invested 50 million yuan to enter the shared bike market."

"It is said that the first step is to target the markets in Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

"and."

“They move very quickly.”

"Construction has already started right after the announcement. The bikes are yellow and operate in almost the same way as our convenient bikes."

After Fang Zhou hung up the phone, he started checking the situation on his phone.

There are indeed related reports on the Internet.

Construction has already begun.

It seems that this has been planned for a long time.

Fang Zhou let out a long breath. He knew that some people had started to enter the venue.

This is just the beginning, and more people will come in later.

After a while, Chen Jing also called.

Also for fast bikes.

obviously.

Same as Huake.

Her tone was also full of worry.

Fang Zhou had previously said that some people would enter the market and that he attached great importance to shared bicycles, which also made the people around him pay more attention to this matter.

So after knowing that there was a competitor, everyone was a little nervous.

But Chen Jing also brought good news.

Over there in the magic city.

The approval has been obtained and construction can now begin.

Chen Jing is also urgently recruiting and training personnel, as these personnel are the most important during the market development period.

You can see it.

Chen Jing has been very busy during this period.

On the phone, Chen Jing's voice sounded a little hoarse.

Fang Zhou could also think of it.

this time.

Chen Jing is really busy.

After reaching the agreement in Magic City, she will not stay in Magic City, but will start advancing northward to take over several cities in the southern part of Jiangnan Province.

But now that we have two points, Sujing and Modu, it should be easier later.

But no matter how simple it is, it still needs people to do it.

Fang Zhou smiled and said:

"Sister Chen, thank you for your hard work during this period."

"I won't say anything hypocritical. Don't work yourself up. You can send someone there first to make contact. Once you have some preliminary results, you can go back."

"You are the general manager and my top general. You don't have to do everything yourself."

"Money is earned endless."

There seemed to be the sound of drinking water on the other end of the phone.

Then Chen Jing's voice came:

"Mr. Fang, why are you still sentimental?"

"It's not that hard. I have to try my best anyway so as not to leave any regrets."

"You already lit that fire in me before."

"How can I be so discouraged now?"

"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile."

Fang Zhou smiled and said:
"As long as you know what's going on."

"I'm just saying that if it's too difficult, forget it. There are many ways to make money. If it doesn't work, just try another one."

"Now our convenient bicycles have taken over Shanghai."

"Jiangnan Province is also in our hands."

"Don't say anything else."

"If it were sold at this scale, it would fetch hundreds of millions."

"Su Mingyue and her Haifeng Venture Capital wanted to invest in our Convenient Bike before. Last week, she approached me and valued our bike at $1000 million, but I wasn't interested."

Ark didn't notice.

When he was on the phone, every time he spoke, the person next to him couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

On the other end of the phone, Chen Jing was a little exasperated:
"what?"

"Haifeng Venture Capital wants to raise funds?"

"Why didn't you tell me such an important thing?"

"Brother, you have a really big heart."

Fang Zhou was stunned.

Su Mingyue had previously said that she wanted to invest, but Fang Zhou felt that the time was not right. The valuation of Haifeng Venture Capital was also too different from Fang Zhou's expectations, so Fang Zhou didn't even want to talk.

Seeing that Chen Jing was very busy in Shanghai, I didn't tell her.

I didn't expect Chen Jing to value it so much.

Chen Jing slowed down her tone:

"Mr. Fang, this is not a question of how much they are valued at."

"Haifeng Venture Capital is a world-class investment bank with great influence in many areas. Although it may sound unpleasant, being valued by them is a sign of strength and recognition."

“We didn’t accept it though.”

“But they are willing to invest at a valuation, which shows that they value our project.”

"We can just tell them that they want to invest in our project, and then we can go out and talk about cooperation, which will be much easier. If other venture capital firms don't cooperate with us and don't give us resources, we can raise the flag ourselves."

Uh~~~~~
Regarding Chen Jing’s words.

Fang Zhou was not embarrassed at all.

He nodded and said:

"I see."

"Send me a copy of the approval results from the Magic City later."

"Now that we've taken over the Magic City, the bargaining chips are different. I asked Su Mingyue to re-evaluate my valuation. Doubling the valuation this time won't be a problem."

"I asked her to give me another estimate."

Chen Jing was stunned:

"Is this okay?"

"You know how to put what you have learned into practice."

"But you don't even have the sincerity to negotiate with them. How can they be happy with this if you still want to take advantage of them?"

Fang Zhou curled his lips:

"What do you mean I'm insincere?"

"It's obvious that they are not sincere and the valuation is too low."

"If they value us at 300 million or 500 million, there's room for negotiation."

Chen Jing smiled:

"How dare you think about it."

"Okay, I'll send you the approval documents later."

Prepare to hang up.

Fang Zhou's voice came from the phone:
"Sister Chen, what I just said is true. You have to take care of yourself."

"You are my backbone."

"I'll transfer 5% of Convenient Bike's shares to you and wait for you to return to Sujing to sign the agreement."

"But I'm only giving you the current shares. If we start raising funds later, you have to pay for it yourself, otherwise your shares will be diluted."

Fang Zhou's gratitude to Chen Jing was genuine.

When I was young.

Qinglin and I often go to Yunsi Group.

Fang Yuru was very busy, so when she was in the office, Chen Jing often took care of the two of them. During that time, Chen Jing spent more time with them than Fang Yuru.

Since Fang Zhou started filming "Cloud Silk", he fooled Chen Jing.

Chen Jing came over to help Fang Zhou.

Almost everything was done by Chen Jing.

Fang Zhou has never been a stingy person.

I don't care much about money.

It was because Chen Jing worked hard for the shared bicycle business that Fang Zhou thought of giving away some shares.

On the other end of the phone.

Chen Jing was silent for a long time.

Just when Fang Zhou thought that Chen Jing forgot to hang up the phone.

Suddenly, a muffled voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Big scumbag!"

Ok?
Ark was angry.

"What's the difference between a scumbag and not a scumbag?"

"I treat you as my elder, so please put aside your dirty thoughts."

"Bye!"

I heard a beeping sound on the phone.

Chen Jing wiped her face with a smile.

"This kid..."

This past six months.

Chen Jing's mind has changed a lot.

Although I am much busier than before, it is also more fulfilling, and my income is naturally much higher than before.

Just from the perspective of money, plus the convenient bicycle shares and year-end dividends that Fang Zhou just mentioned, it is estimated to be tens of millions. Naturally, Chen Jing has no complaints.

several times.

Ark expressed his gratitude.

But sometimes, Chen Jing was a little confused, not knowing whether she helped Fang Zhou or Fang Zhou made her successful.

She could hear Fang Zhou's sincerity in his words just now, and that he was not just being polite.

It’s different from my previous working environment.

In the clouds.

Fang Yuru also cares about herself.

But there are so many people in Yunsi Group, and Fang Yuru's concern is based on her work partners.

Fang Zhou is a different person. He values friendship over personal gain.

As a veteran who has followed him from the beginning.

Chen Jing knew Fang Zhou's abilities.

something.

Fang Zhou could obviously handle it by himself, but he still took his friends with him to make money.

Just like herself, Fang Zhou gave her so much, so much that sometimes she even felt guilty.

At this moment, Fang Zhou suddenly showed such concern.

Chen Jing felt.

This guy is like a scumbag who knows how to flirt with people, that's why he blurted out that just now.

I heard Fang Zhou's last angry words.

Chen Jing found it very interesting.

"hehe!"

"Little man!"

the other side.

Several people looked at Fang Zhou and couldn't help sighing.

If someone didn't know him and just heard what Fang Zhou said, they would think that this guy was just a fool who liked to brag.

But they knew something about the Ark, but not too much.

Only then will you be amazed.

Especially the people in Luo Yihe's dormitory.

They don’t know about Ark’s other companies and operations, but they know a lot about shared bicycles.

Luo Yihe had previously designed a car lock control system, and everyone in the dormitory knew about it.

At that time, they just felt it was interesting.

Fang Zhou was very serious.

They also know the entire development process of shared bicycles.

Fang Ark just called.

It is said that someone valued shared bicycles at 1000 million US dollars, and it is about to reach 2000 million?

At this moment, they did not feel any envy and could only shout 666, because until now, they still did not understand why the investment bank gave such a high valuation to this convenient bicycle.

He is a high-end player.

They should just be good slaves!
After hanging up the phone, Fang Zhou saw that there was a missed call from Pei Qingyao. Fang Zhou called back and Pei Qingyao wanted to say the same thing to him.

Fang Zhou told Pei Qingyao that they would talk again when they met later.

Hang up the phone again.

Hong Xiaolong looked at Fang Zhou in surprise:

"Lao Fang, I didn't expect your life to be so wonderful!"

"I only regret that I didn't find a school near yours, otherwise I could still hang out with you."

"Our school also has those convenient bicycles." "I've told the people around me."

"This convenient bicycle was invented by a friend of mine, but they still don't believe it."

"By the way, is this bike-sharing project you just mentioned really worth 2000 million US dollars? From my estimation, your investment shouldn't be too high."

Although Hong Xiaolong didn't know this.

But having grown up in such a family, I am still very sensitive to these things.

Fang Zhou nodded and said:
“This kind of project.”

“It’s like a luxury in life.”

"You shouldn't look at luxury goods the same way you would buy cabbage. You should focus on the story and the concept."

“It has nothing to do with cost.”

"Sister Chen has taken over the Magic City and is about to start construction."

"The Magic City is different from other places. If we take over there, it's very likely that the valuation will double."

Hong Xiaolong lamented:
"Brilliant."

“It’s faster than filming a TV show.”

"I made millions following you in high school, but now I don't have that chance anymore."

"If I'm here running errands for you, it might be helpful to learn a little bit."

“I came to Sujing at that time.”

"My dad even asked me to learn from you."

Fang Zhou glanced at Hong Xiaolong indifferently.

He was sure that what Hong Xiaolong had just said was definitely a pretense.

It seems that men are like peacocks in spring. Once they see the opposite sex, they can't help but want to spread their tails. This is physiological and they can't control it even if they want to.

The people around him naturally had nothing to say.

That's the gap.

Although Xu Shiyuan and Feng Lili come from well-off families.

But people like Fang Zhou and Tang Xiaolong, who started investing and making money in high school, simply don't exist.

Luo Yihe looked at Fang Zhou:
"You received several calls just now. It seems like something happened."

"If you have something to deal with, go and take care of it first."

Fang Zhou took a few bites of food and stood up to leave. He really needed to discuss something with Pei Qingyao.

But before leaving.

Fang Zhou said to Hong Xiaolong:

"Resolve Zhou Qiong's matter as soon as possible, otherwise I will look down on you."

Hong Xiaolong felt awkward for a moment. After Fang Zhou left, he changed the subject and looked at Luo Yihe:

"Is this guy usually so busy?"

Luo Yihe said calmly:

"I don't know."

"But he usually seems to be quite idle."

When Fang Zhou arrived at the convenient bicycle warehouse, the workers were busy and greeted him when they saw him.

They knew Ark was their boss.

Now the devil is taken.

Su Jing is also rushing to make the investment.

The warehouse is also busy 24 hours a day.

When Fang Zhou arrived at Pei Qingyao's office, Pei Qingyao was still reading news about Kuaishou. This was different from the gimmick of the university in Shanghai. With an investment of 50 million, it was obvious that they were well prepared.

Pei Qingyao's face was obviously worried about this sudden appearance of a competitor.

Fang Zhou comforted him:
"Don't worry."

“I knew there would be competitors.”

"Don't worry about what they do, we just have to go at our own pace."

"What is the current status of registered users in the system?"

Pei Qingyao said:
"The number of registered people has exceeded 20."

"It's mainly because there are many colleges and universities in Suzhou and Beijing, and young people are more receptive to new things."

“But this group is also the most unstable.”

“Registration and cancellation are frequent.”

"In the past few days, more people from Sujing have registered."

Pei Qingyao didn’t quite understand it before.

Now, seeing that the amount of money in the deposit pool is increasing as the number of registrations increases, she finally understands why this project has attracted attention.

Fang Ark nodded.

Think about it and say:

"We're organizing some activities recently to stimulate new user registrations."

“We can give out some cycling coupons to new users who register, and we can also give coupons to old users who recommend new users.”

“Registration numbers are fundamental.”

Pei Qingyao was a little surprised.

Giving out coupons could allow people to ride bikes for free, which would definitely attract a lot of people.

But there is no competition now, so is it necessary to spend money like this?

Ark knew it very well.

He developed this convenient bicycle not to make money from shared bicycles. From the very beginning, he aimed to hype up shared bicycles and get others to take over.

For investors.

The foundation of shared bicycles is registered users.

Although there is one more shared bicycle company now, they are in Hangzhou. Even if they develop, they will only be in Hangzhou and nearby cities for the time being.

There is no intersection, so everything will be peaceful for the time being.

But it won't be long.

They will definitely enter the Magic City as well.

At that time, the real capital game will begin in order to compete for users.

At that time, you can only spend money to grab users.

After all, users need to pay a deposit.

It is unlikely that a person will use several apps and can only choose one, so it is necessary to cultivate user habits from the beginning.

Pei Qingyao didn't understand much, but she trusted Fang Zhou's judgment.

Just carry out the Ark's plan.

An entire afternoon passed by discussing the specific welfare plan and arranging time.

When Fang Zhou was about to leave, he thought of what happened before.

"Did Chen Jing tell you?"

"She said earlier that she would arrange to find a new office building and consolidate several companies into one new location."

Pei Qingyao said disdainfully:

"I don't know. Ask her yourself. I'm so busy."

"Now I really admire Chen Jing."

"That time before."

"She's amazing that she can help you manage two companies at the same time and handle so many trivial matters."

Fang Zhou looked out the window, shook his head and said:

"Then we'll talk about it later."

"correct."

"Do you have any restaurant recommendations?"

"It's a place in Sujing that has some special dishes."

Pei Qingyao was surprised:
"You want to invite someone to dinner, who?"

Fang Zhou looked at the time:
"Tang Tang's parents are coming to Sujing. They are busy during the day, so I plan to treat them to dinner in the evening."

"I can only ask you, a native, to recommend me."

Pei Qingyao leaned back in her chair.

When looking at Fang Zhou, his face was full of resentment:
"You're so heartless! You're still my boyfriend in name only, yet you're inviting another woman's family to dinner and you still want me to make the decision for you."

ark:……

Big sister, you are addicted to acting, right?
"I do know a good place, though."

night.

At the gate of a yard.

The gate to the courtyard is an arched gate. From the outside, you can see a small bridge and flowing water when you go inside.

This is a private restaurant introduced by Pei Qingyao.

Not open to the public.

Only old Su Jingren knows.

If it were someone else, Fang Zhou could take them to the Zijin Club. After all, they had all kinds of cuisine there, and the hospitality was impressive enough.

But there is an 80% chance that Old Tang is also a member of the Zijin Club.

Take Lao Tang and Lan Zhiya there.

It would be better to bring this here to taste the hustle and bustle of Sujing.

Fang Zhou waited at the door for a while, and soon Old Tang's Rolls-Royce arrived at the parking lot in front of the door, and Fang Zhou walked forward.

"Fang Zhou, come here."

Tang Tang’s long legs got out of the car first.

He didn't care at all that his mom and dad were right next to him. They got out of the car and ran over to hug Fang Zhou's arm, their faces full of joy.

Fang Zhou could clearly feel that Comrade Old Tang's face fell when he got out of the car.

Fang Zhou greeted him awkwardly:
"Uncle Tang, Aunt Lan, you are here."

"Uncle Ding, let's come down and have dinner together. It's so late."

Old Ding got out of the car, looked at Fang Zhou with a smile and said:
"Mr. Fang, please do as you please. I'll let it go."

"I'm taking this opportunity to get the car serviced. I've been doing a lot of driving today."

Seeing this, Fang Zhou stopped greeting Lao Ding.

Take the three members of the Tang family inside.

Just arrived at the inner hall.

The foreman saw Fang Zhou, recognized his face and said:
"Mr. Ark."

"Miss Pei has made all the arrangements. Please follow me."

As he spoke, the foreman led the way.

Hearing this, Fang Zhou couldn't help but touch his nose.

really.

Tang Tang asked curiously:
"Ms. Pei, is this Sister Qingyao? She introduced us here."

"But she was born and raised in Sujing, so she knows Sujing well. Her recommendation must be good."

Big sister, you said it very well, please stop talking.

Walking in front with Tang Tang, Fang Zhou could clearly feel a pair of eyes staring at him from behind.

He coughed dryly and said:
"Yes, Sister Qingyao introduced me."

"Hangzhou suddenly has a new shared bike company, with a 50 million yuan investment, which is quite impressive."

"Sister Qingyao is also a shareholder of the shared bike company. I discussed our response strategy with her this afternoon. I also wanted to ask her where I could find authentic Suzhou-style dishes."

"My uncle and aunt are here, so I want to bring them to try it."

Ok?
Tang Tang looked at Fang Zhou curiously.

Old Tang said faintly:

"We didn't ask anything. Why are you explaining so much? Are you feeling guilty about something?"

Fang Zhou chuckled:
"No."

“It just occurred to me.”

"Tangtang and I can talk about anything."

"She was also quite curious about shared bikes, so I talked to her about it."

Fang Zhou also knew that Lao Tang and Lao Lan must be aware of the news on the Internet, and they must be unhappy about it.

Think for a second.

If he had such a beautiful daughter, and she still met this scumbag...

Ok.

Ark thinks about it.

If that were the case, I wouldn't have any objections.

Given his personality, if his daughter really likes it, he will definitely respect her choice, but most people will definitely not be so open-minded.

I did it all myself.

It's only right to let Old Tang vent his anger.

Beside him, Lan Zhiya gently pushed Tang Jianhuang, signaling him not to confront him.

Old Tang didn't notice.

But as a woman and a mother, when Lan Zhiya saw Tang Tang today, she immediately noticed the changes in her daughter. Obviously, everything that should and shouldn't have happened had happened.

About this kind of thing.

Lan Zhiya had no choice.

After all, Tang Tang is an adult and has her own ideas. It is impossible for the couple to control her all the time.

And from all aspects, the Ark is in good condition.

Except for women.

After arriving at the box, Tang Tang sat next to Fang Zhou.

Fortunately, it’s just a small private room.

Take the menu.

Tang Tang curiously opened it and looked up to ask her parents across from her:

"Dad, Mom, what do you want to eat?"

Hear this.

Old Tang felt quite uncomfortable.

Before, my daughter was like a little girl, but now that she has arrived in Sujing, she has become proactive. It is as if she is bringing her parents to her territory to fulfill the duties of a host, and the hosts are still her and Fang Zhou.

Think of this.

There is still some psychological gap.

It feels like my daughter has grown up and no longer belongs to me.

Obviously Lan Zhiya also felt this, and both of them looked slightly unnatural.

Fang Ark took the menu.

After flipping through a few pages, he said:
"I heard that the pickled radish peels here have a unique flavor. I'll order some radish peels."

"Tang Tang, how about a flaming ice cream?"

Tang Tang nodded naturally.

Subsequently.

Fang Zhou closed the menu, handed it to Lan Zhiya and said:
"Auntie Lan, our order is ready."

It was like going out to eat with elders, ordering what you like, and letting the elders arrange everything else.

Tang Tang looked at Fang Zhou with some confusion.

No.

He just sent a message to himself.

Didn’t you say we should make some arrangements tonight?
After hearing this, Lan Zhiya looked up at Fang Zhou in surprise and opened the menu.

At this moment, Lan Zhiya suddenly felt that it was a good thing for Tang Tang, a girl with simple ideas, to find such a thing.

At least you won’t be cheated by others in the future.

She felt an inexplicable certainty about the Ark.
