Chapter 181: business start and hapless wizards

After the game against the Lakers, there were two days of rest.

The little sister is also very busy recently and rarely stays at home. Several projects of Hantangfeng Capital, which was registered before, have been initially completed and effective.

octazen, this is a company with only two people, it can be said to be very inconspicuous, their main achievement is the contact input software development.

This was one of the companies in the investment list that Lian Dao gave to the little senior sister at that time.

This company is very inconspicuous. At that time, Liantao only invested $500,000 and acquired 45% of the shares. The reason why he chose this company was because Liantao knew that Facebook would acquire it in February 2010. The purpose of this company is to increase Facebook's viral advertising campaign.

In addition, there are some other companies that Liantao invested in through Rebirth Memory. Liantao does not plan to hold the shares of these companies for a long time. Once a large company acquires them, Liantao will choose to sell them.

At present, the shares he has interrupted for a long time are 10% of Facebook's shares (including 5% of non-dilutable shares) drawn from the system.

In addition, there is another promising company in Liantao, airbnb. Its Chinese name is Airbnb. It was established in 2008 and is not very well-known. At present, this company is mainly popular in the New York rental market. The reason is their quality of service.

Their way of expanding customers may not seem like a big deal in the future, but in 2010, it is very novel. They rented a high-end camera for $5,000, and went door-to-door to take photos of many renters’ houses in New York for free.

As a result, the number of reservations in New York quickly increased by two or three times, and by the end of the month, Airbnb's local revenue had doubled. This approach was later replicated in Paris, London, Miami and other places.

At present, their scale is not very large, and there are not many contracted photographers under Airbnb. But in the future, this company has grown into a unicorn in the home rental sales in the United States.

In 2022, the market value of airbnb will be as high as $47 billion.

At present, they are also releasing the news of the A-round financing on a small scale, and the purpose is also to expand the scale, and it is this company that is not yet large, which has attracted the attention of Sequoia Capital after releasing the financing information.

Sequoia Capital can be said to be one of the giants in the investment world. Many companies in China now and in the future have the shadow of Sequoia Capital, such as Jingxi, Ali, Ant, Jingxi Financial, Jinri Toutiao, shared bicycles, Hungry Takeaway, Di drop…

Basically, the shadow of Sequoia Capital exists behind China's Internet companies.

However, the current layout of Sequoia Capital in China is not as terrifying as that of later generations, and Liantao is bound to get a share of it, such as Sina, Ant, including Hungry Takeaway, and the most popular live broadcast platform in later generations, as well as short-term video platform and more.

For airbnb, the amount of A-round financing is not very large, 7.8 million US dollars, but it has attracted many large capital companies.

Originally, Hantang Capital did not have the strength to enter this kind of financing, but because of the relationship between the young senior sister Guo Nianguo, they got on this boat.

In addition, Sequoia Capital actually wanted Hantang Capital to join in, which also made Lian Dao curious. You must know that these big capitalists will never give cake powder to others for no reason, and the key is to go to the same industry.

Lian Dao didn't really know the reason until later when airbnb entered the Chinese market. At that time, Lian Dao realized that although he was a reborn person, he was still a bit small compared with these big capitalists. It is quite scary to study and judge the development of an enterprise in the next ten to fifteen years.



The little sister is busy with company affairs. After the training of Lian Dao, in order to reward the little sister who has worked so hard to make money, she personally made the Bazhen cake that the little sister likes to eat. Besides, Master Lian also showed his cooking skills. A table full of dishes.

Guo Yuwei, who had just returned home, smelled the aroma of the food. After putting down the bag, she casually kicked off the high heels on her feet. Just like this, she ran to the dining table with her bare feet, closed her eyes and sniffed the aroma of the food intoxicatedly, Without washing your hands, just pick up a piece of crispy chicken with your hands and put it in your mouth, full of happiness.

At this time, Lian Dao, who was serving dishes outside the kitchen, happened to see the young senior sister's slovenly appearance.

"Don't wash your hands first. How about it? I prepared it specially for you. Is it delicious?" Lian Dao's face was full of doting.

The little senior sister didn't answer, just nodded vigorously, and then kept stuffing delicious food into her mouth. At this time, her charming melon-seeded face was swollen by the food. The cold and gorgeous strong woman outside, at this time, it is appropriate Just like a foodie girl.

Lian Dao watched the little senior sister busy with the food, so she put down the food in her hand and poured him a glass of juice.

"Slow down, no one will grab you." Lian Dao looked helplessly at the little senior sister who had completely turned into a foodie.

"It's been a long time... I've cooked for me." The little senior sister spoke inarticulately with her cheeks puffed up.

After Lian Dao heard it, it took her a while to realize what Guo Yuwei meant. It turned out that she was saying that she hadn't cooked for her for a long time.

This is a bit embarrassing. Although he is busy, he still has time to cook a meal, but he is too lazy to move.

Lian Dao also knew that he was lazy, but he didn't want to admit it.

In order to cover up the embarrassment, Lian Dao also joined the food battle.

After enjoying the feast, the nanny cleared the table, and Lian Dao brought out some cut fruits.

The little senior sister couldn't eat any more, and Lian Dao looked at the little senior sister while eating the fruit, feeling both funny and warm.

The little senior sister lay on the sofa without any image, touching her slightly protruding belly, don't get me wrong, she is not pregnant, she just simply ate too much.

"Oh, it's all your fault, it's time to lose weight again!" the little senior sister said with her head resting on Lian Dao.

At this moment, Lian Dao's face was full of question marks.

Why didn't you think so when you ate just now?

Now that I'm full, I'm blaming the cook. I really put down the bowl and scold the cook.

"Why don't you want to lose weight when you eat, duplicity, ah, woman!"

Seeing Lian Dao's upset look, the little senior sister felt very cute and couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, I'm kidding you, and I'll give you a reward!" The little senior sister said and kissed Lian Dao's face.

Lian Dao turned her head and kissed her directly.

After a burst of passionate kisses, Lian Dao was going to carry the little senior sister to the room.

"No, I just finished eating."

"It's okay, just exercise after dinner, aren't you afraid of gaining weight?"

Can this still lose weight? This touched the little senior sister's blind spot of knowledge, and he immediately realized that this guy Lian Dao was talking nonsense in a serious manner.

But it's too late now, the little senior sister has become a cabbage who has dialed out the foreign gang...



During the two days when the Knicks were resting, something happened to the Wizards. They put the head star Gilbert Arenas on the shelves and were anxious to find a deal. Why were they so anxious? The reason was that before a game started , Arenas drew his gun to celebrate when he played.

Because of the pistol door incident before, the nba executives have been under a lot of pressure to suppress the matter, and now Arenas dares to commit crimes against the wind.

This made Stern completely angry. In the end, nba president David Stern issued a ticket to Arenas and Crittenton. The two Wizards players will be suspended until the end of the season. Counting the missed games before the penalty, Arenas was suspended for 50 games that season; Crittenton was suspended for 38 games. For this farce, the two paid a total of 88 game suspensions.

Crittenton paid a heavy price for his irrationality. Originally, Crittenton’s talent did not belong to the top level. Because of this pistol incident, no team is willing to accept a cancer in the locker room, oh no, it should be It is said that there is a time bomb in the locker room.

The management of the Wizards is also a huge headache. They want to trade Arenas, but there are no fools in the league. The offers were all rejected by the management of other teams.

They also made an offer to the Knicks, hoping to exchange Gallinari or Holiday for Arenas. They are willing to accept Eddie Curry's bad contract. UU Reading www. uukanshu.com But this deal was rejected by the Knicks management.

The Knicks have just got rid of the name of the stab head concentration camp. The environment in the locker room has just improved this season, and the Knicks are very hopeful to enter the playoffs this season. Although the management is not very smart, at least the general manager Donnie Walsh is not as stupid as Isaiah Thomas.

A potential show with good future talents and prospects, and a locker room with declining scoring ability and constant injuries, I have to say that the Wizards are a bit whimsical. Even if they can send Eddie Curry's bad contract, they are not willing.

In fact, the Knicks are indeed anxious to sell Eddie Curry's **** contract, but other teams are not fools. No team is willing to spend more than 10 million to buy a mascot as a water fountain keeper.

At the end of this season, the Knicks plan to buy out Eddie Curry's contract in order to strengthen the 2010-2011 season.
