Chapter 48
“Chairman, SoftBank Capital, Sun Zhenyi wants to see you.”
Here, Ji Yunsheng knocked on the door and walked in just after talking to Yao Wenjing.
Sun Zhenyi?
“What is he doing here?”
Su Chengyang frowned slightly.
He had heard of this man’s name in his previous life and now. He was an islander and was called the”King of Investment”. He had invested in Hangzhou Ma’s Alibaba in the early years. The investment of 20 million US dollars has now become dozens of times, and if there is no external interference, it will become hundreds of times, creating a legend in the investment industry.
It is said that this person has invested in more than 1,600 companies worldwide, and Softbank has shares in almost all Internet companies in the world.
Su Chengyang is not interested in this person, not for anything else, just because he is an islander, that’s all
“I guess they want to invest in Weibo. Before that, SoftBank had called several times to express its intention to invest.”
“In addition, Sequoia, IDG, Tiger, Jiyuan and many other venture capital companies have also contacted me. Chairman, you said before that you would not accept investment, and I rejected them all. I didn’t expect SoftBank to not give up, and Sun Zhenyi came to my door in person.”Ji Yunsheng said
“Okay, I got it. Take him to the conference room and I’ll be there soon.” Now that everyone is here, it would be rude if he doesn’t meet them.
After thinking about it, Su Chengyang decided to meet them and see what’s so special about this Japanese man who is known as the”King of Investment”
“Yes!”
Ji Yunsheng agreed
“By the way, please notify the HR manager to come to my office.”
“”Okay, Chairman!”
Ji Yunsheng nodded, turned around and left the company.
Within two minutes, the HR manager knocked on the door and came in.
Su Chengyang didn’t waste any words and said directly:”Please make arrangements here. I want to recruit a secretary and an assistant.”
With the expansion of his company’s business, Su Chengyang has a lot more things to do. He urgently needs to find a secretary and an assistant to handle the chores, as well as some documents, itinerary arrangements, etc.
Upon hearing this, the HR manager immediately asked:”I wonder if the chairman has any requirements for the candidates?”
“Good selection, careful work, hardworking”
“Well, gender is female, age is between 20 and 30, good temperament is required.”
Su Chengyang said seriously without blushing or beating his heart.
A secretary must be pretty.
After all, she is someone who is in front of you every day. If she is good-looking and pleasing to the eye, you will feel better. Upon hearing this, the HR manager understood it instantly and nodded:”Okay, Chairman.”
“Well, go ahead and recruit as soon as possible.”
“”Yes!”
The HR manager responded respectfully, then turned and left.
Then, Su Chengyang deliberately stayed in the office for a few minutes before getting up and walking out.
In the conference room,
Ji Yunsheng was talking to Sun Zhenyi.
When he saw Su Chengyang coming in, he quickly stood up and introduced,”Chairman, this is Mr. Sun Zhenyi from SoftBank.”
“Mr. Sun, this is Mr. Su, the chairman of our company.”
Su Chengyang was looking at the man in front of him, who was well-known in the investment world and was known as the”King of Investment”. Well, he was a typical short and fat man from the island country, probably only about 1.5 meters tall.
Well, he was bald, with only a little hair at the back and a completely bright hair at the front. He looked kind.
People who didn’t know his background probably thought he was a kind and benevolent old man.
Sun Zhenyi was also looking at Su Chengyang.
Before coming, he had read the information and knew that the boss behind Weibo was Su Chengyang. He also read the information about Su Chengyang, but it was a castrated version with only information about him in the United States.
Looking at the other person’s young face, although he was prepared, Sun Zhenyi was still shocked.
Too young.
Just like a college student.
However, the other person was already a super-rich man worth billions of dollars.
“Hello, Mr. Sun.”
After taking a few glances, Su Chengyang looked calm and stretched out his hand to look at Sun Zhenyi.
“I have long heard of Mr. Su’s great name. Seeing him today, I believe his rumors are true….Nice to meet you.”
Sun Zhenyi came back to his senses, put his legs together, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Su Chengyang, and greeted Su Chengyang in not very fluent Mandarin.
“Mr. Sun, you are too kind.”
Su Chengyang smiled and raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation:”Please sit down.”
After the two of them exchanged polite words, Su Chengyang asked Sun Zhenyi directly why he came.
“Mr. Su, Weibo is a great product. I am optimistic about its future. I hope to invest in it so that it can grow faster and become a website used by the whole country and even the world as soon as possible.”
Su Chengyang was not surprised by Sun Zhenyi’s words. He had guessed it before.
“Mr. Sun, thank you for your support for Weibo, but the company is not short of funds and has no intention of raising funds.”Su Chengyang looked apologetic.
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhenyi hurriedly said,”Mr. Su, I know you are rich, but what I want to say is that sometimes financing is not just about providing funds for the company, but about providing a network of relationships and connections.”
“Weibo is such a good product, it must be introduced to the world. You have been in the United States for a few years, and you should know that sometimes money cannot solve the problem.”
“SoftBank is willing to provide assistance to help Weibo solve political problems and then conduct business in the island country and even the United States.”
“hehe~~”
“I believe in island countries”
“But in the U.S., with the strength of SoftBank Capital, it seems that it cannot influence some decisions of the U.S.”
Su Chengyang said with a faint smile. Although he did not say it explicitly in his words, the meaning of his words was that he did not believe that SoftBank had that strength.
If it was Goldman Sachs, Su Chengyang would still believe it.
Forget about SoftBank.
How can a son teach his father how to do things.
Sun Zhenyi, who was criticized, smiled awkwardly and did not continue to defend the topic. Instead, he said seriously:”Even if it is not possible in the United States, SoftBank can still have a say in the island country and can help Weibo enter the island country market.”
Ha~~
Su Chengyang chuckled, touched the water cup in front of him, and said casually:”I appreciate Mr. Sun’s kindness, but the company currently has no plans to develop overseas business, so there is no need to trouble SoftBank for the time being.”
“If there is a day when we can start business in the island country, it won’t be too late for us to discuss cooperation.”
Seeing Su Chengyang repeatedly and firmly rejecting the olive branch he extended, Sun Zhenyi couldn’t help but feel disappointed. He was really optimistic about the Weibo project and thought it had great prospects.
Unfortunately, they didn’t accept investment.
After so many years, this was the first time he hit a wall in Longguo.
Before, there was almost no such thing. After talking for a while, Sun Zhenyi left disappointed.
Soon, the news that Weibo rejected Sun Zhenyi’s investment spread on the Internet, causing heated discussions.
