71. Bole and Maxima
Luo Xiu knew that what he said next would determine whether he could get a big investment.
So he spent some time to sort out his thoughts before he said: "I'm just a student and don't have much social experience. I only know that a person's life is inseparable from the four things of 'clothing, food, shelter and transportation'.
When starting a business, consider these four industries first.”
Guan Wenyan smiled after hearing this: "I thought the same way at the beginning. I thought people always want to live in a house, so I entered the real estate industry. But you also saw the tragedy of the property market last year."
"This is just a temporary downturn. Maybe the spring of the industry will come after this year?"
Luo Xiu thought to himself that the spring of the industry is coming, but the winter of ordinary young people who want to buy a house is also coming.
"Among the remaining three industries, you are right to choose to make clothing. The other two are not easy to do." Guan Wenyan analyzed.
"Traveling is the hardest thing to do. Making a car requires skills. Public transportation has to be provided by the state. Taxis are not easy to get, so I was the first to give up on this business."
Luo Xiu is not very honest on this issue. He is not engaged in travel now, but he cannot use PPT to defraud money. Didi's market conditions are not yet mature.
"I hesitated for a long time between clothing and dining, but finally chose clothing because opening a Taobao store doesn't require much investment."
Guan Wenyan nodded: "You just said that if you had money, you would like to do a bigger project, wouldn't it just be catering?"
"That's right!"
"Open a specialty restaurant? Or a chain store?"
"The competition in physical restaurants is too fierce. I will definitely not be able to compete with others. My only advantage is that I am young. Only by doing things that young people can do can I have a chance of success.
My initial idea was to build a platform where riders can order food online and deliver food online. However, such a platform requires a large investment in the early stage unless an investor can be found."
After Luo Xiu finished speaking, he looked at Guan Wenyan sincerely.
There is no shame in asking your future father-in-law for money. Many super-rich people in China are from rural areas. They relied on their father-in-law's money or connections to achieve achievements far beyond their father-in-law's.
"You just said it very well. This is indeed something that only young people can do. For someone as old as me, I don't understand the Internet, otherwise I would quite like to get involved."
Luo Xiu felt something was wrong after hearing what he said, and quickly flattered him: "I'm not saying that you are older, uncle. In my opinion, uncle and aunt are both young and look similar to us."
"No, let you young people play with the things you young people have!"
Guan Wenyan added, "I originally wanted to wait until my daughter graduates and give her one or two hundred million to practice her skills. If she loses all, she will come back and help me. Now that I see how powerful you young people are, I don't think so."
We must wait until she graduates."
When Luo Xiu heard this, he finally understood what he wanted to express. It turned out that he would not participate, but he could pay his daughter to participate.
Can't rich people be more direct when speaking? Do they have to go round and round?
In later generations, there was a real estate tycoon who did a similar thing. He gave his son 500 million pocket money to start a business, thinking that he would lose all the money at most. As a result, it was reported overnight that he owed 300 million yuan.
Sure enough, when you have enough money, you are not afraid that your son will ruin the family, but you are afraid that your son will be too idealistic.
But other people’s pocket money is measured in hundreds of millions, so don’t worry about it for them.
Luo Xiu and Guan Wenyan chatted for a long time, while Ju Jieyun just sat with a smile and occasionally picked up vegetables to eat.
It wasn't until the two men finished chatting that she asked: "What do you think of our Xiaoyu?"
"this……"
Luo Xiu immediately cheered up. He knew that sometimes mother-in-law was more difficult to deal with than father-in-law.
"Xiaoyu is a very nice person. She is not overbearing or willful because of her wealthy family. She is a very kind-hearted girl."
He couldn't figure out what the other person was thinking, so he could only give a decent answer.
"Then what's your relationship now?"
When Ju Jieyun asked the question, the two couples were drinking tea from teacups and did not look at Luo Xiu. It seemed like they were having a casual chat.
"Our relationship is complicated..."
As soon as Luo Xiu finished saying these words, the two couples glanced at each other, which made him feel a pang in his heart. He quickly explained: "We are not only classmates, but also good partners at work, and at the same time, we are also good brothers.
Best friends, so the relationship is more complicated."
"Our family Xiaoyu is so good, haven't you ever thought about pursuing her?"
These two couples, one speaks in a thousand twists and turns, and the other speaks so directly, how do they usually communicate?
Luo Xiu had no choice but to answer firmly: "If we were not partners, we might pursue her, but now we don't want our relationship to affect our career development."
"You young people have your own ideas, and we never interfere."
Luo Xiu complained silently in his heart, "I believe you, why don't you call me over for questioning if you don't interfere?"
"I still envy Shiyu for having such enlightened parents. My parents are not that easy to talk to. They didn't let us fall in love when we were studying. After I graduate, they will definitely keep urging us to get married.
They also don’t think about it, if you didn’t learn how to chase girls when you were studying, will the country give you one when you go to work?”
"Pfft!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Sure enough, they are Guan Shiyu's biological parents, and they are very funny.
What follows is simple small talk, more about study and university life.
Because their attitude was very approachable, Luo Xiu was also open-minded and answered whatever he asked. Occasionally, they would also make a joke, making the couple laugh.
After finishing the meal, they asked Luo Xiu to go back, as if he really just had a meal with a very close junior.
"You were so engrossed in the conversation with that young man just now. Are you really optimistic about his online food ordering business?"
Ju Jieyun asked her husband.
"Who knows? I didn't really listen to what he said just now."
"You said you would invest 100 million or 200 million for your daughter in him. Isn't that all a lie?"
"I didn't listen carefully because it doesn't matter what he does. What's rare is that he dares to do it boldly. Young people nowadays lack this."
He picked up the tea cup and sighed: "I remember when I was fifteen years old and left home to venture into the world. I dared to do anything and was not afraid of anyone..."
"Okay, okay, you've said it a thousand times, and my ears are getting calluses." Ju Jieyun interrupted, "This young man is indeed better than many young people we have seen."
"But my daughter is still better. The world does not lack horses that can cover thousands of miles, but it lacks Bole." Guan Wenyan said proudly, "As expected of my daughter, she has fallen in love with a horse that can chase the wind."
No matter how smart a person is, he will always be unable to look at problems objectively due to his emotional preferences.
Guan Wenyan naturally believed that Luo Xiu was able to open a company because of his daughter's investment, and his daughter was the best.
So now he is willing to give more money to his daughter to practice skills instead of directly investing it in Luo Xiu.
As for where her daughter spends the money, it is up to her.
If she has achieved results, it is because her daughter is great.
It is normal to fail. No matter how powerful an investor is, he cannot succeed in every investment.
