Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

Everyone was speechless.

It was not until Hu Lin came over with his wife and toasted everyone that Chen Pingsheng also came forward to toast everyone,

"Sorry, some relatives from my hometown came over recently, so I haven't had time to drink with you all. Today, it's all in the wine. Thank you all for coming."

A few days ago, his younger sister had called him several times, saying Hu Lin's college classmates had come and wanted to meet him.

He just hadn't had the time.

"It's okay, it's okay."

If one didn't know their background, it would be one thing, but now that everyone knew it.

Who would dare to casually invite others for drinks?

However, Jiang Jia stood up confidently and introduced herself, "Mr. Chen, I'm Jiang Jia, currently starting a business with others on an internet project that exclusively sells used cars. Here's my business card, if you have time, could you let me present for two minutes?"

It wasn't too surprising.

Ever since he had money, relatives came first with some fruit to ask how he was, and later they all asked to borrow money.

Those he knew and didn't know also wanted to connect with him.

And there were even more bizarre ones, directly asking for investment with a sign.

Zhang Yang and their group felt Jiang Jia was being quite excessive this time, little did they know that any Internet startup that couldn't find a significant backer was courting death.

It was basically impossible to emerge successfully from the masses.

Having a significant backer made a complete difference.

Jiang Jia trying her best to meet him also showed quite some determination.

Chen Pingsheng held her business card, glanced at it, and handed it over to Zhao Yimin behind him.

"Melon Seed Used Cars?"

Chen Pingsheng asked, "Your name is well-chosen. The project isn't just managed by you alone, is it?"

Jiang Jia was happy, "Indeed, it's not just me. It's founded with two senior brothers. The domestic used car market has huge potential and the sales are opaque. Our platform's philosophy is to let everyone buy used cars that are reliable and safe."

An internet platform specializing in used cars.

The project was definitely fine, and the direction was quite good.

Chen Pingsheng's first luxury car had been a secondhand Panamera.

He even gave it to his elder sister to drive now.

This was undoubtedly a promising Internet project.

But whether it could succeed still depended on the entrepreneurial team.

Chen Pingsheng asked her, "How much money do you want?"

"One hundred million."

Jiang Jia held out a finger and said, "We officially launched in September and have always been short on funds. We want to use 25% of the equity to get a hundred million in development funds."

25% for one hundred million, that put the valuation at four hundred million.

Money wasn't really the problem, the issue was that he always stayed away from Internet projects.

Simply because it wasn't his area of expertise.

Since it wasn't his strong suit, the best choice was undoubtedly to stay away.

Just selling used cars?

He was quite interested in this project.

Mainly because, compared to shared bicycles, he was rather familiar with used cars.

Chen Pingsheng said, "Today is my sister's wedding, let's not talk about this now. You can bring your team to see me at the company when you are free. I welcome the arrival of your team."

Jiang Jia was pleased, "Then thank you, Mr. Chen. I'll drink three cups myself today as a penalty for the inconvenience I caused. I hope you understand."

Every entrepreneurial team has its hardships.

Chen Pingsheng was quite understanding, "No worries, I'm also quite interested in understanding how you will take this used car business online."

The timing wasn't right, so Chen Pingsheng didn't talk to her much more.

After Jiang Jia sat down, she noticed that everyone's view of her had changed.

The once college beauty seemed unreachable only in their presence.

In front of real big shots, it was all about bending over at ninety degrees, trying everything possible to get close and curry favor.

Could that be envied?

Not at all.

Who made them lack that strength?

Jiang Jia didn't bother explaining, among old classmates, the chance to connect with a real big shot was rare.

She felt this was the greatest blessing from heaven to their project.

And a turning point.
