Chapter 127
Let’s be honest.
Shen Fei rarely saw a particularly obvious change in the Great Elder’s mood.
But this time.
He could clearly feel that his old man was very unhappy.
The reason for my unhappiness is this information in my hand.
On the way back, Shen Fei was looking at the information seriously.
And after he finished reading it, Shen Fei finally understood why the Great Elder would be so angry.
Back at Dongsi Hutong, he called Li Wei.
“Team Leader Shen, what are the instructions?”
Li Wei picked up the phone and asked Shen Fei directly.
Obviously.
At this time, Shen Fei called himself, there must be something.
“You look up the information of the bike sharing company.”
Shen Fei said lightly: “It’s the company that shares bicycles.” ”
“Okay.”
Li Wei quickly nodded and agreed.
Two days later, Shenfei got all the information about the sharing bicycle company and founder Lin Wei.
The above data shows that the sharing bicycle is the first dockless sharing bicycle travel platform, creating a “dockless sharing bicycle” travel mode and is committed to solving the problem of urban travel.
Users only need to enter the license plate number or scan the code on the mini program to unlock the car and use it as they go.
Users can also share their bicycles to the sharing platform and get the lifetime free use of all small yellow cars.
After the user finishes using it, the little yellow car needs to be locked, and then the mobile phone can settle and deduct the fee.
Founded in 2014, the company started with rapid growth, several successful financings, and a peak valuation of $400 million.
But.
This company is actually not that powerful.
In the words of Ma Xiaoyun: “A company that has not been established for a few days, based on a few stories, has formed a team of several people, and the valuation can be a few hundred million dollars.” ”
That’s right!
Boss Ma was fooled into investing more than a billion yuan, and as a result, he didn’t catch a single Mao.
And the person who fooled him was Lin Wei and another big man named Zhu Xiaohu.
Zhu Xiaohu, Ele.me and Meituan, Didi and Kuaidi, behind these two classic money-burning battles are indispensable to the shadow of this man. He invested in Ele.me and received dozens of times the return of more than five million US dollars.
Investing in Didi Chuxing, seven million dollars has obtained a return of more than a thousand times.
Although the two companies have not yet made a profit, it does not affect the man’s ability to make a lot of money29.
In April 2016, Mobike was officially launched in Shenghai, with 10,000 bicycles launched in four months.
Zhu Xiaohu, who smelled the smell of the money-burning war, waved his hand and let the sharing bicycle focusing on the campus market ride into the city.
From the beginning, Zhu Xiaohu aimed at Mobike Onslaught Kombat.
First he declared that he would end the fight in six months, and then he carefully compared the profit model of sharing bicycles and Mobike: “Two hundred dollars for a bicycle, five cents for riding once, ten times a day, five dollars, two hundred dollars may be earned in forty days.” Add maintenance costs and pay for themselves in three months. Mobike, on the other hand, takes two years to recoup its costs. ”
It’s a pity that the sharing bicycle raised 1.3 billion US dollars, borrowed 1.8 billion yuan from Ali, and then took 3.6 billion user deposits, and it took two years without making a profit.
Not only that, Zhu Xiaohu and Lin Wei have calculated that the shared bicycle is now 50 million rides a day.
Three years later, it achieved 200 million times, the single-day income exceeded 100 million, and the annual turnover of 30 billion started.
In the bicycle industry chain, a large satellite was first placed.
Zhu Xiaohu, known as the horned beast catcher.
Unicorns are startups valued at more than a billion dollars.
Valuation is a very mysterious thing, as long as someone is willing to take over, no matter how much valuation is reasonable.
In other words, as long as there are fools who are willing to pay a higher price to take over, no matter what the price, invest in it, you can make a profit.
This is Keynes’s theory of stupidity.
The so-called stupid theory means that in the capital market, people are willing to pay a high price for something regardless of its true value because they expect a bigger fool to buy it from them at a higher price.
Of course
The game fool theory is also flawed: what if there is no big fool to take over?
The answer is simple, if there are no fools, go and raise one.
There are several different ways to cultivate fools, and folk rumors say that using aluminum pots to cook rice, eating too much aluminum elements, you will become stupid.
There are also scientific ones, after taking antipsychotic drugs, the spirit is suppressed, and people will look stupid.
Of course, these methods are not desirable, not only risk the crime of poisoning, but also are too inefficient, and in the case of not enough fools, the technology of making fools in batches is needed.
One way to do this is to “set the mood”.
Man is a social animal, as long as the atmosphere is up, he will involuntarily do something stupid that even he can’t understand.
For example, when you first enter a nightclub, you see a group of killer Matt shaking their heads, everyone thinks they are all stupid birds, but once you stay for a long time, you will involuntarily shake with it, which is the role of atmosphere.
Using the atmosphere to mass-produce fools is not only not illegal, but also quite efficient.
Ancient and modern, competition and music are the two most effective ways to set the atmosphere, the latter is used for bungee, and the former is used to top.
The money-burning war is a naked game, and the financing at this time is not to make a profit, but to quickly scale up and kill the opponent.
The more it burns, the bigger the scale, the higher the valuation.
The fools entered one after another, and Zhu Xiaohu, the hunters, laughed the most.
Burn money to the end, the two merge one by one, creating a monopoly monster.
At this time, the final loser is not the fool who takes over the last game, but the melon-eating masses who are allowed to be slaughtered by monopolies.
With the entry of two companies, Tanuki and Penguin, it is seen that this bike-sharing war will end with the merger of bike-sharing and Mobike.
But what people didn’t expect was that things were bad at the hands of this group of students.
Students who have just left school do not know the world, and the biggest disadvantage is that they like to dream.
Looking at the white flowers and silver in the account, the students gradually became bold, shouting in unison that they still had dreams, that they wanted to become bigger and stronger, and go to the world.
So they rejected the proposal to merge with Mobike, bought another 20 million bicycles, and launched them in more than 20 markets around the world.
Zhu Xiaohu scolded angrily: “I hate entrepreneurs who think that everything is right”, and almost directly burst out the sentence: “Without me, do you really think you can be worth so much money?!” ”
A popular joke in banking circles, when the credit manager lends, the borrower talks about the use of the funds, if it is concealed and ambiguous, the credit manager is relieved, and the goods must take the money to invest.
If the borrower seriously says that he wants to expand his business, the credit manager will secretly scream that it is broken.
For Zhu Xiaohu, Lin Wei is the serious borrower, but he is really not the right time.
Seeing that the merger was hopeless, and the good atmosphere that was finally created became cooler and cooler, Zhu Xiaohu fled in time, leaving Ma Xiaoyun at a loss in place.
But.
Lin Wei is not a fool, seeing that the company’s valuation is getting lower and lower, in the end, he simply chose to get out.
So the company owed billions of dollars in deposits and chose to go bankrupt.
This happened just a few years ago.
Shen Fei had the impression that there really seemed to be such a thing.
The original body seems to have been cheated of a deposit of two hundred yuan, and he was distressed for a long time.
But it’s a pity.
Except for the hapless users, no one takes responsibility for this.
Several founders of the company, including Lin Wei, were restricted from high consumption and restricted from taking airplanes and ships, but they did not bear criminal responsibility.
“Why weren’t they sentenced?”
Shen Fei took the information and asked Li Wei a little strangely.
“This is unlikely to be sentenced.”
Li Wei smiled bitterly and explained to Shen Fei: “Team leader Shen, you have to understand, what is a limited liability company? That is, the responsibility is the company, the money owed by the company is not the money owed by my shareholders, as long as the capital contribution obligation of the registered capital is completed, the company goes bankrupt later, what does it matter to me. ”
Shen Fei was instantly dumbfounded.
But if you think about it, it seems that this is indeed the case.
The state wants to engage in innovation, mass entrepreneurship, let go of the hands and feet of the capitalists, and supervise nothing.
If there is any problem, you can go to court and sue.
Each person deposits 100 yuan or 200 yuan, you go to court to sue the company sharing bicycle, or you can search Baidu to learn to write a complaint, and pay your own road fee to go to Yanjing, the place of registration.
Or you can hire a lawyer and ask the defendant in the pleadings to bear costs such as attorney fees.
For two hundred yuan you go to sue, even if you win, well, the court ordered him to return your deposit, bear the lawyer’s fees, it’s a big deal to add a lawyer’s fee to the company’s debt, you can’t pay the money or can’t take it out, but you want real money to pay the lawyer first! (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
However, the money owed by the company, what does it matter to me Lin Wei?
You have lost two hundred yuan in tens of millions of people, and I Lin Wei has lost a large company with a market value of I don’t know how many billions!
Anyway, it is said that it is a normal business practice, and the police do not care, and the court does not investigate.
Who gave the company qualification to collect a deposit of 200 yuan from tens of millions of people across the country, knowing that it was a deposit and did not belong to him, why did he dare to misappropriate it?
Who signed the words, who transferred the account?
With such a large flow of funds, are banks blind?
Who is responsible for the 200 yuan deposit for these tens of millions of people?
I don’t know it all!
Thinking about this, Shen Fei’s face suddenly became ugly.
He also understood why the Great Elder was so angry.
The reason is simple,
Because Lin Wei, who should have stayed in China because he was restricted from high consumption, he actually appeared in the United States.
What’s even more outrageous is that he even started a new coffee brand and is making money!
Outrageous!
It’s really outrageous!
………………
Dongsi Hutong.
Shen Fei sat there with a serious expression, looking at the information in front of him, his fingers lightly tapping on the table.
“Team Leader Shen, with all due respect, Lin Wei has now arrived abroad, and according to the law, we have no way to request extradition.”
Li Wei looked at Shen Fei and said calmly.
Although he understood what Shen Fei meant, it was obvious that this matter was unrealistic.
Not to mention whether there is an extradition agreement between the Great Xia Empire and the United States, just the fact that Lin Wei is now in the United States makes them helpless.
It sounds ridiculous, but it’s true.
“Then tell me, how did he go abroad?”
Shen Fei said coldly: “Don’t forget, he is restricted from high consumption in China, and it stands to reason that he can’t even take a plane.” ”
Talking.
His hand slammed heavily on the document.
The information shows,; Lin’s coffee, which generally sells for four to five US dollars and is cheaper than Starbucks, has been backed by venture capital companies including IDG Capital and ZhenFund, and has raised more than 10 million US dollars at a valuation of 40 million US dollars.
However, public information shows that Lin Wei has received a total of 40 consumption restriction orders, and the latest release date is the end of February this year. The restrictions on Lin Wei in the restriction order include: not allowed to take airplanes, soft sleepers, and ships in class above the second class. High consumption is not allowed in hotels, hotels, nightclubs, golf courses and other places above the star rating. It is not allowed to purchase immovable property or build, expand, or high-end decorated houses.
But people are now in the United States and have started a new business.
And
The company he founded is inextricably linked to the previous one.
To put it bluntly, if you change the soup without changing the medicine, people have started a new stove in the United States.
“This…”
Li Wei smiled bitterly.
“Go and check again, I want to know how he went abroad.”
Shen Fei said coldly.
The reason why he was so disgusted with this Lin Wei was because Shen Fei learned from that information that this guy was simply a loser.
Think about it.
Bike-sharing has raised a lot of money.
And where did all this money go?
First of all, it is a bunch of small yellow cars that are purchased at high prices to finally be abandoned.
Second, some media broke the news that the company’s internal extravagance and corruption were serious.
Lin Wei once denied this, but was quickly slapped in the face by the due diligence of investor SoftBank.
That due diligence pointed to the confusion of formula financial management, including Lin Wei’s assistant taking the company’s money to buy financial management, the co-founders using the company’s more than one million money to buy Tesla, and they actually spent 14 million to launch a Wei 677 star for marketing.
And.
It is worth noting that this is not Lin Wei’s first venture after bankruptcy.
According to foreign media reports, for three years, Lin Wei has been working in Daxia and the United States, first founding a mobile power leasing startup in Seattle, and then founding a coffee chain store in New York.
To be honest,
Shen Fei really couldn’t understand what was going on?
………………
Li Wei’s action was fast.
The next day brought Shen Fei the answer.
“Restrictions on high consumption and restrictions on exit are two different legal means and have no direct correspondence unless the court explicitly restricts exit.”
Li Wei explained to Shen Fei: “If the person subject to the restriction on consumption is necessary to carry out the aforementioned prohibited consumption activities due to his life or business, he shall apply to the court and only after approval can he carry it out. ”
As he spoke, he told Shen Fei: “There may be two reasons why Lin Weineng can leave the country, one is that when the enforcement court of the case he involved issued the ‘Consumption Restriction Order’ restricting his use of aircraft and other means of transportation, the person was already abroad. The second is that he has obtained the approval of the court. ”
Shen Fei nodded: “So, he may also be able to transfer abroad by train, car, etc., and then fly to the United States, right?” ”
“Yes.”
Li Wei nodded when he heard this: “Moreover, Team Leader Shen, so far, we have not found the place where he broke the law, and we have no way to ask the United States to extradite this guy back to China.” ”
“Oh, that’s easy.”
Shen Fei sneered: “He doesn’t want to come back, just force him to come back.” ”
？？？？
？？？？
Li Wei looked at Shen Fei blankly, not understanding what he meant.
Shen Fei said calmly: “The Great Elder also knows about this matter, he is very angry, so the consequences are very serious. ”
Li Wei was stunned, and then frowned, “You mean to force Lin Wei to come back?” ”
“Hmm.”
Shen Fei nodded: “Contact his father, since everyone is within the system, then some words are actually better said.” ”
In fact, there are some things that Shen Fei is very clear about.
Lin Wei was able to go abroad, and this matter was inseparable from his father.
Although his father is not a local leader and a high-ranking official in Xinjiang, he is the head of a large state-owned enterprise, which is why Lin Wei was able to succeed in entrepreneurship at such a young age.
And this is why Lin Wei was able to quietly leave the country and arrive in the United States.
Same reasoning.
Shen Fei also wanted to use this reason to let Lin Wei obediently return from the United States to solve the mess he had left behind.
No matter who it is, making a mistake is paying a price, which is Shenfei’s consistent principle.
What’s more, this time with the support of the Great Elder, Shen Fei was even more unscrupulous!
No matter how strong this Lin Wei’s background is, can he still be stronger than his own?
Obviously.
It’s impossible!
