In the original history, Meituan had a Series C financing in May 2014, and Pan-Atlantic Capital, Sequoia Capital, and Ali all received shares.
At that time, Meituan was valued at 4 billion US dollars.
In January 2015, it went through a Series D round of funding, and the valuation reached 7 billion US dollars after half a year. Later, it merged with Dianping, and its valuation reached an astonishing 15 billion US dollars. Because of Dazhong Dianping, the relationship between Meituan and QQ quickly heated up.
In November of the same year, Alibaba.com withdrew from Meituan, sold its shares, and invested in Meituan's rival, Hungry?
Since then, Meituan has completely joined the group of people in the company. What was interesting was that the shareholders of Liushui were arguing with each other. Every year, he would fight with Hungry? and claim that he was the boss of the industry.
Every time Meituan raised funds, Ele.me also had to raise funds. Meituan and Hungry Me had also fought a price war, burning money crazily to give subsidies. Meituan had once given a subsidy of 4.2 billion yuan, and Hungry Me followed suit and introduced a subsidy of 3 billion yuan.
In the end, No. 3 was innocently caught in the crossfire, and Baidu Takeout was bought by Hungry Me.
Looking at the market, Baidu Takeout was definitely not the only " victim." In the herbal tea market, Jaduobao and Wang Laoji fought, and as a result, Lao San and Qi Zheng were lonely.
Therefore, capital was king!
Meituan didn't disappoint investors either. It went public in Hong Kong in September 2018, with a market value of more than 50 billion US dollars. And all of this only took a short eight years.
Lu Jingyu did not care about the past between Meituan and Hungry. In this world, the financing of the China American Group was postponed to August. He still had a chance to follow the wind and live behind the big boss.
Ever since she was tricked by Walter's good system a few times, Lu Jingyu understood one thing. With money, he could do whatever he wanted in the system and enjoy even more advanced services.
If you don't have money, you won't even look at me if you're sorry
The system was a snob, and money was its boss. If you don't have money, go somewhere cool.
Although he had the ability to cheat, it was not 100% accurate. He could only make a rough estimate.
It all depended on luck. If he was lucky, he could keep earning. If they were unlucky, even if the success rate was 99.99%, they might still be treated badly.
Who could predict the stock market? You could invest a million yuan and earn a few million yuan next month. It was also possible that he would only lose a few hundred thousand.
Therefore, Lu Jingyu would not put all her money into stocks. It was a good decision to invest in Meituan, even though he did not have enough cash on hand, only 70 million yuan.
70 million was an astronomical figure for the middle class, but it was really not enough for Lu Jingyu.
However, if he couldn't stand the fact that his family was rich, he would be an idiot if he didn't use the resources he had. Lu Jingyu had already thought of where her first starting capital would come from.
……
At 12 noon, Lu Jingyu arrived at the restaurant that her mother had booked-Linglong Pavilion.
This time, Lu Jingyu only brought Ni Ni and Nicole. Old Huang and Little Wang did not come either.
Lu Jingyu knew that her mother had a little quirk. She did not like her bringing so many people over. As for the reason, Lu Jingyu was not very clear.
The purpose of his visit this time was very clear. He was here to borrow money, and the charity banquet at night was secondary.
Of course, he had to go along with Chen Yanjun.
Lu Jingyu had been to the Pavilion of Delicacy many times. He remembered coming at least five or six times a year. His mother, Chen Yanjun, would always treat Lu Jingyu to a meal here.
Firstly, Chen Yanjun was one of the major shareholders behind the Pavilion of Delicacy. Therefore, he knew everything about this restaurant. Whether it was security, ingredients, or privacy, they were all of the highest standards.
Secondly, the Sichuan cuisine here was very authentic and suited Chen Yanjun's taste. Chen Yanjun was from Sichuan.
Third, it was quiet. They had to make reservations every day to limit the number of people.
The Pavilion of Delicacy was quite well-known in the circle of the Ying Tian Prefecture. Chen Yanjun had just married into Yingtian because he wasn't used to the sweet taste of the south. He opened a private high-end restaurant with a few of his best friends. It mainly served the specialty dishes of the southwest region.
Men had their own circles, and women naturally had their own circles. The Lu Family had been rooted in the Ying Tian Prefecture for hundreds of years and was deeply rooted. It was not an exaggeration to say that the Lu family was the local tyrant in the Ying Tian Prefecture.
With his status, Chen Yanjun became the leader of Ying Tian's wealthy wives.
The place where the leader opened naturally became the new gathering place for the noble ladies. She usually came here for meals and to soak in the hot spring. They chatted and played mahjong.
The husbands of these people who came to the Pavilion of Delicacy were all nobles of the Ying Tian Prefecture. Any one of them would have a prefect in their family. He was responsible for the civil affairs of a state.
He killed time and expanded his network. with one stone
The Pavilion of Delicacy was not some indecent place. The White Horse Club did not exist.
The Pavilion of Delicacy was located next to the scenic area of the Qinhuai River, in a bustling area. However, ordinary people would think that it was an abandoned courtyard when they walked past it.
This was because there was neither a plaque nor a door here. There was only a wall blocking the world inside the wall. It was extremely mysterious.
People were always curious about the unknown. Therefore, there were many rumors.
Some people said that this place used to be a mansion of a rich family, but because it was haunted at night, the whole family moved out and could not sell it, so it had to be abandoned.
There were also people who said that luxury cars were often seen here, and women of all kinds came and went at night. Therefore, he boldly guessed that this was a high-level ##.
Although the Pavilion of Delicacy did not have a gate, there were four secret doors. The west was the exit and the east was the entrance. The south gate was the entrance for the service staff. The north gate was the emergency exit.
As for how to enter, it was very simple. He just needed to find the place with the lighter color. He just needed to push it in gently.
Lu Jingyu entered the courtyard with ease.
There were already four women in palace attire welcoming guests at the door. These women might look weak, but they were all D-class. They could easily defeat a dozen burly men.
The four of them knew Lu Jingyu. Isn't that obvious, Young Master?
One of the older ones said,"Young Master, please follow me." The pavilion master is already here
The Butterfly Love Pavilion is waiting for you.
Lu Jingyu knew the origin of the title of Pavilion Master. When the Pavilion of Delicacy was first established, Chen Yanjun felt that the boss was very low…so he let others address him and the other shareholders as Pavilion Master.
Alright, since you have money, you have the final say.
Mm, lead the way. Lu Jingyu said calmly.
The front part of the Pavilion of Delicacy was built with a Chinese garden.
The garden was huge, taking up at least half of the clubhouse.
The pool water occupied half of the garden area. It was mainly water. The pool was wide and the trees were lush. The scenery was natural. The shape of the water was different. The design of the fake mountains was very realistic.
There were nine pavilions of different sizes in the garden, which were also places for eating. Sometimes at night, they could also take a boat to boil wine and have a small gathering.
The happiness of the rich was something that ordinary people could not imagine. The cost of this garden alone was around tens of millions.
