Chapter 41: Overwhelming Publicity

043. Overwhelming publicity

Zhang Xu, the founder of Beijing Eleme, smashed the quilt in his hand to pieces in a rage. His friend Kang Jia actually left him to go to a new company he had never heard of.

However, judging from the dynamics of his wife's MQ space, Kang Jia is now in high spirits, driving a BMW, living in a luxury apartment and eating delicious food. I heard from his wife that he plans to buy a house in Shanghai this year.

After venting, Zhang Xu collapsed on the chair weakly. He hated that he had no money. His employees ran away one after another. He became more and more confused.

Wang Xing, who returned from overseas to join Kuso Takeaway, was simply cursing Zhang Xu's powerlessness. He finally gathered a bunch of like-minded friends and was ready to show his skills, but they were all poached away.

Wang Xing, who wanted to keep his friends by making promises, was speechless after a few words from his friends.

"Xingzi, it's not that I won't help you. My current boss bought a 22-story office building for us to work in. Do you know how much promotion funds he gave us? 200 million, a full 200 million. Sorry, Xingzi, I really can't see the future of Kusou Waimai. I'm sorry." Zhang Zijian and Wang Dong's words deeply hurt Wang Xing.

He also wanted to say that money is not omnipotent, but he couldn't say it. Let friends follow you to start a business? But what can you use to fight with others?

Others have 1 billion yuan in funds at once, what can you use to exchange for 1 billion yuan? Wang Xing sighed and walked to the window. A deep sense of powerlessness came over him.

At the same time, Didi Waimai began to dominate the screen crazily. Didi, with 200 million yuan in funds, occupied all mainstream media. If you introduce new customers on the Internet, you can get red envelopes. For new users, basically, as long as you download Didi Waimai, you can get a meal for 1-5 yuan or even for free.

At one time, the number of downloads of Didi Waimai increased rapidly, but the funds also began to be burned quickly. In less than half a month, the 200 million yuan approved by Tang Wen had been almost burned.

Previously, 400 million yuan was invested in Didi Taxi and Hellobike. With the 200 million yuan burned by Didi Waimai, the company's account only had 400 million yuan. Tang Wen waved his hand and asked the finance department to approve another 200 million yuan for me to continue burning.

Didi Waimai's large-scale spending naturally attracted the attention of many investors, but Tang Wen meant that he would not raise funds until the 400 million yuan was burned.

In the past half month, Tang Wen accompanied Nati to buy and eat everywhere. Now Nati is particularly annoying, but he still has to care about other women. Zhu Hui started to make a fuss about eloping with Tang Wen.

Tang Wen had no choice but to take Nati back to Shanghai.

On the plane, he happened to meet the group of flight attendants again, but this time Nati became the object of their service.

At this time, Nati was wearing a custom-made luxury goods, and the handbag next to her was worth 2 million. All the stewardesses were knowledgeable people, so they naturally knew the price of the bag.

"Hehe, she just hooked up with a rich man." The women were indignant, but they could not take their eyes off the bag next to Nati.

"Honey, am I too ostentatious with this bag?" Nati said coquettishly while hugging Tang Wen's arm.

"It's okay, baby, as long as you like it." Tang Wen replied with a smile.

"Trojan husband is so nice, muah." Nati kissed Tang Wen happily, then hugged Tang Wen tightly and started to act coquettishly.

The bag next to her was a prize given by Tang Wen to reward her for the knife-wielding trip the day before yesterday. She still remembered the miserable state after being knife-wielding, but Tang Wen pointed with both hands in the LV store, and this limited edition LV bag was hers.

After the plane took off, Nati told Tang Wen that she wanted to go see a friend. Tang Wen nodded. Nati twisted her waist and walked past Tang Wen, who slapped her round buttocks.

This made Nati shy.

"Qianqian, Momo, Leilei, this is the gift I picked for you in Hong Kong, I hope you can accept it." Nati took out four lipsticks from her bag.

"Wow, CL." Thank you Nati, the four girls took the lipsticks and thanked her with a smile.

"I really envy you, Nati, for having such a loving husband."

"Yes, yes, and he is tall, rich and handsome."

"Nati is so happy."

"Nati, remember to treat us to wedding candy in the future."

Amid the compliments of the four girls, Nati returned to Tang Wen.

"What's wrong, have you finished giving gifts?" Tang Wen said with narrowed eyes.

"Yeah, husband, kiss." Nati blocked her mouth and playfully kissed Tang Wen on the face, leaving a small pure mark.

After returning to the Magic City, Tang Wen let Nati live in the restored Yan Family Garden. He went to see how the three companies that had just been established were operating.

Wang Dong, Zhang Zijian, Kang Jia, Li Peng, and Jiang Tao and Ye Jie who just joined all saw their mysterious boss for the first time, and they were all shocked by Tang Wen's youth.

Tang Wen looked like he was in his early 20s at most, but he had already taken out nearly 2 billion to start a business. He was really a role model for the younger generation.

Under Zhou Xu's agency, Tang Wen asked about the company's daily life, asked everyone what was missing, and then left. Zhou Xu was responsible for everything else.

With the growth of Tang Wen's industry, Zhou Xu has now changed from a private lawyer to a supervisor-like position, and his annual salary has also increased to 5 million.

Zhou Xu, who holds a high salary, naturally knows how to do his job well.

Naturally, Tang Wen's buying of buildings could not escape the eyes of those who were interested. When Tang Wen came back, Xiao Wang and Qin Feng came to visit him.

As soon as they met, Xiao Wang was amazed and said, "Old Tang, tell me honestly how much money you made in foreign exchange? Your recent activities have scared the startups in Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Beijing."

"Yes, Old Tang, you made a lot of noise this time." Qin Feng agreed.

"What's wrong with me starting a business? It's just a small move." Tang Wen said modestly.

"Tsk tsk, your small move is really a big move. Sequoia, Goldman Sachs, and dozens of investment banks are interested in your companies. How about letting me follow you?" Xiao Wang said with a smile.

"What's the matter, Old Qin, do you mean the same thing?" Tang Wen did not answer directly.

"Well, a few friends also want to follow." Qin Feng nodded and said.

"OK, no problem. Didi Takeaway is valued at 1 billion US dollars, Didi Taxi is valued at 1 billion US dollars, and Hellobike is valued at 500 million US dollars. I will take 40% of the shares of each company, and the remaining 9% will be used as a reward for the team." Tang Wen said directly.

"Damn, is it so shady?" Xiao Wang jumped up and down.

"Principal, don't disbelieve me. 1 billion US dollars is still based on your face as a friend. If other people come, I will consider giving 2 billion." Tang Wen said with a smile.

"Okay, Lao Qin and I will go back and discuss it with others." Xiao Wang said after a moment of silence.

"Okay, I will raise funds for the first time in Hilton in three days. See you then." Tang Wen said with a smile.

"OK, we have no objection." The two nodded and said goodbye. Tang Wen smiled mysteriously when he saw the two go back. Everything is going according to Tang Wen's plan.

Tang Wen didn't intend to eat alone from the beginning. Letting people in is more to tie up some people. There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. On the surface, Tang Wen was at a disadvantage, but once these people's connections came into Tang Wen's company, it would be hard not to expand.

Moreover, Tang Wen also had a mysterious APP to swipe money, so what if he gave up a little profit? He could just spend some money to buy it back. Comparing money with his own? Haha, Tang Wen was dismissive.
