The organizer of this business reception is Suning, and the participants are either business elites here in Kyoto or businesses that have a cooperative relationship with Suning.Su Ze and Su Yi belong to the latter situation, and they also have the idea of increasing their knowledge.Due to the personality of the businessman, of course, the more friends he makes, the better, so he is very keen on this kind of drinking party, of course, these are mostly based on interests, and everyone knows Du Ming.In the past year, due to the downturn in the housing market, as a pillar industry, this sluggish environment has affected the industry.Many companies are not having a good time, with a shortage of funds and reduced business.Everyone tightened their belts to get by, and this kind of drinking party gave many merchants the opportunity to find partners.This is a realistic and cruel society.If a small business wants to get investment, it has to find people and visit around on its own, but sometimes you can't even get through the door.Many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are far more difficult to obtain financing than large enterprises.Those capital institutions are shrewd that their money is not for nothing, they will not invest in everyone, and they will not look at any plan.These institutions, the proposals they receive each year, are even able to fill several warehouses.Therefore, in the eyes of many businesses, this cocktail party is like a life-saving straw, an excellent opportunity to attract investment, find business partners, and brighten the willows.Here, big beauties like Su Yi and Lin Shijing have greatly reduced the number of guys who come to talk to them.Although the beauty is good, it costs a lot of money, and everyone comes here to find a partner to make money and take their career to the next level, and at this time the attractiveness of the beauty has obviously decreased.Anyone's first time, there will always be uncomfortable places.Su Ze also felt a little uncomfortable, walked up to Lin Shijing's side, and asked, "Have you ever participated in such a commercial drinking party before?"
”Lin Shijing gently shook the red wine glass and said with a smile: "I have participated a few times, and that's it."
Being able to get to know people and increase connections, but if you really want to make your career take off by this, to be honest, the probability is very small. ”Su Ze held the wine glass, glanced around, and suddenly asked, "What is Ling Zun's company?"
”Lin Shijing looked at him with a smile on her face: "Brother Su Ze, you are not my boyfriend, why should I tell you?"
”Su Ze quipped: "My boyfriend shouldn't say it, in case I want to get your family's property, I won't." ”"I wouldn't say that right now, anyway."
Lin Shijing pursed her lips, "You are a younger brother." ”Su Ze darkened his face and rolled his eyes: "You don't look like a sister at all." ”"Ozawa......"
Su Yi in the distance suddenly walked to Su Ze's side and quietly signaled to him with his eyes."
Look over there."
Su Ze was slightly stunned, and saw a man of about thirty years old in the distance, wearing glasses, with sparse hair on his head, ordinary but very shrewd."
Meituan's Wang Xin?"
His heart moved, and he immediately recognized the person.Su Ze only revealed to his sister that the most suitable financing target for Tujia's B round should be Meituan.Su Yi paid attention to this, and immediately reminded his younger brother after seeing Wang Xin at today's cocktail party.In 2012, Meituan has embarked on the fast track of development after receiving up to $80 million in financing from Alibaba.The takeaway business has blossomed all over the country, and it has entered the hotel reservation area in a very high-profile manner, and it is aggressive to gnaw a piece of meat from Ctrip.Su Ze hesitated for a moment, then slowly stepped forward and said hello."
Mr.
Wang, hello."
In the next few years, Wang Xin can be said to be high-spirited, but what is inversely proportional to his career is that the amount of hair on the top of his head is becoming scarce."
You are?"
Wang Xin looked at the somewhat young man in front of him and couldn't help asking.Since this young man will take the initiative to talk to him and be able to call his surname directly, he must have a certain understanding of himself."
He even tried something."
Everyone is a shrewd old fox, and some things are well known.Su Ze saw Wang Xin's various complicated and inexplicable expressions in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Mr.
Wang, I am Su Ze, CEO of Tujia.com.This is a website that mainly focuses on online booking of B&Bs. ”"Tujia?"
Wang Xin was slightly stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I've heard of this website, and it's been in the limelight recently, but I didn't expect its helmsman to be so young." ”"In 89 years, I am exactly 10 years younger than Mr.
Wang."
Su Ze smiled indifferently."
Hey, I've always felt like a young upstart in the Internet industry, and I feel old when I see Mr.
Su."
Wang Xin has always felt that he has only been on the road of entrepreneurship for a few years, and he is in his prime.But in the blink of an eye, the quasi-post-90s generation also began to walk on the big stage."
Mr.
Wang has won the award, and I am still just an enthusiastic entrepreneurial young man, and there is nothing else to achieve.""
Humble."
Wang Xin shook his head with a smile, "Although Tujia has just started, its popularity is booming, and it is already stronger than 90% of companies in the industry, and I believe that there will be no shortage of investors in the B round of financing." ”This 90% of the data is just a casual remark by him, but there are countless large and small Internet companies in China, but there are only a few that can really stand at the top of the pyramid and become household names, and the data given by Wang Xin is not wrong."
This Series B financing is not a big problem, but I can't say how much money can be raised, and what I value is not only funding, but also cooperation in all aspects."
Wang Xin was a little stunned, he had vaguely guessed that Su Ze had come to take the initiative to talk, and he definitely had a certain purpose.After the two chatted for a few words, the other party had already given a hint."
I remember that the financing company of Tujia's Series A was Ctrip, right?""
Yes, we have cooperation."
Su Ze replied calmly.Wang Xin pondered for a while and said: "Ctrip has been aggressive in recent years, and we want to establish a Ctrip system in the OTA market. ”OTAs, or OnlineTravelAgency, are the technical term for the travel e-commerce industry.Su Ze smiled: "Of course, they have this strength.Originally, I thought that there was no one to compete with them in this market, until I saw that Mr.
Wang's Meituan was also preparing to enter the hotel reservation system, and I felt that the finale was far from coming. ”He is well aware of the changes in the future, Ctrip almost wants to dominate the world, but Meituan has sprung up, and by 2018, Meituan's hotel orders have surpassed the sum of Ctrip's portfolio.I can see clearly that it is the Ctrip system including eLong and Qunar.com, not just Ctrip."
Mr.
Wang, it's really not a secret......
Su Ze smiled slightly, "Our B round of financing may be advanced, because Tujia has already launched a mobile-based APP, including Android and IOS, of course, in order to promote, we have also accelerated the speed of burning money." ”"It's been a while since our app was launched."
Wang Xin smiled indifferently: "Although Meituan has no plans for the homestay market for the time being, it is also optimistic about their huge potential. ”Su Ze said: "Compared with the previous PC Internet in the mobile Internet era, the biggest difference is to seek common ground while reserving differences and win-win cooperation.The 3Q war was a turning point, and everyone used to fight to the death. ”Wang Xin shook the red wine glass, stared directly at the red wine in the glass, and muttered for a long time."
Mr.
Su, I believe that with the current popularity of Tujia.com, there will be no lack of attention from those venture capital institutions or giant companies, why do you want to choose Meituan?
After all, we are still a newcomer to the market. ”"I said that money is only one of the reasons to find a partner to work with, and some resources are as important as money.I think the two companies are complementary and can grow together. ”"This cooperation looks good, and I will seriously consider it."
Wang Xin and Su Ze, two entrepreneurs who are both upstarts but have a ten-year age difference, touched their wine glasses, "Now we can exchange business cards." ”This informal meeting got off to a good start, and Su Ze was in a good mood, but he turned his head to look at his sister's position but showed a look of surprise.There were three women standing there, in addition to Su Yi and Lin Shijing, there was also the future Mrs.
