Chapter 368 Hundred Meter Level
"Sister, the $5 million hasn't been moved, right?" he asked after laughing.

"Nothing has been done. I plan to hand it over to the real estate company in the next few days. No, Sanjin, do you really want to invest in Jingdong?" Yang Xue asked in surprise.

He Zhongqiu shook his head and smiled: "No, I was just asking casually."

"I think Ali's conditions are better, and now Ali has its own payment system, so its development prospects are also better," said Yang Xue.

She flipped through some information sent by Boss Liu and said, "Boss Liu doesn't want to develop a payment system, but wants to develop his own logistics system, which is different from Ali's development direction.

I heard that he was originally planning to raise Series A funding next year and was currently in talks with some venture capital companies. He was planning to set up a logistics system next year.

Now they have their sights set on you. Once they get you, you will be a much better partner than those venture capitalists and investment funds."

"Sister Xue, is there any progress in logistics now?" He Zhongqiu asked.

Yang Xue said: "Well, you know what, this industry is developing very well. If e-commerce can develop, logistics will definitely be a big deal.

If you have money, you can invest, but there are so many logistics companies now, and I don’t know which one to invest in, and I don’t understand it either.”

"Isn't it good for us to be startups? The risks are high, but once we succeed, the rewards will also be great." He Zhongqiu said thoughtfully.

"Do you really want to invest in JD.com?" Yang Xue immediately understood what He Zhongqiu meant.

He Zhongqiu said: "Money means nothing to us now. What I need is influence, and influence determines social status.

My current influence is actually virtual. Martial arts schools and film and television can promote Chinese culture, but they cannot create many jobs and are of little help to the economy.

To be honest, a textile factory that can provide employment opportunities for 20,000 people may have a higher social status than me, even if it does not make much money.

The 5000 million shares of Penguin are of no significance. At most, we can make more money as the company appreciates in value, but it doesn't determine anything.

But if we invest in Jingdong, the meaning will be different. We can truly become a part of Jingdong. Once successful, our influence and social status will be greatly enhanced. "

Yang Xue said: “But Boss Liu’s sincerity is not good enough, this contract seems like a joke, I am not optimistic about investing in Jingdong.

Moreover, JD.com's sales in 06 were only 8000 million, only 1000 million US dollars, but they want to get 1 million US dollars of financing from you. The first round of financing is so large. Either they are not sincere and want to fool us, or they are a little too impatient. "

He Zhongqiu said: "Then talk to him again and form a team to talk to him. Now it is not a negotiation for an endorsement contract, but a negotiation for venture capital, and we need the most professional team.

Sister Xue, you are right. If I really give him 1 million US dollars, he will almost give me the entire JD.com. What 30% of the shares? How much is that worth?

I asked someone to check some information yesterday. In 2000, Ali raised US$500 million in its A round of financing and US$2500 million in its B round of financing. Japan's SoftBank Group invested US$2000 million and acquired a 20% stake.

Sister Xue, let's do it according to Ali's financing ratio. If you give him $2000 million, he must get at least 20% of the shares. If you give him $1 million, he will give me the entire company."

Yang Xue nodded and said, "If the A round of financing is too large, the company will lose too many shares, and too much money may not be beneficial to the company's development. He should be testing us.

Well, let me form a team as you said. He is also eager to meet with you. Lin Xue said, talk to him first. "

"You guys talk first, I don't have time now. Besides, I don't understand. What if I get fooled by him?" He Zhongqiu said.

"Then I'll let Lin Xue call back first." Yang Xue said as she picked up the phone.

She felt that Sanjin was very cautious about this matter. He had casually decided on the Penguin endorsement contract yesterday without much consideration.

"Also, let Jingdong come up with a long-term plan."

Remembering what Sister Xue had just said about Jingdong being a little hasty, He Zhongqiu immediately reminded her.

At this time, Boss Liu was in a very uneasy mood.

Alibaba has completed four rounds of financing, but JD.com has not completed even one. Now it is in urgent need of development funds. It has no money to burn, and the company will not be able to survive if it does not raise more funds.

He has already negotiated the first major round of financing, with Today Capital intending to raise $1000 million from JD.com.

Yes, 1000 million US dollars. While Ali has already obtained more than 11 billion US dollars, JD.com’s Series A financing was only 1000 million US dollars.

But this is also the rule of financing. Ali's A round in 99 only had 500 million, which is not as good as Jingdong.

Today Capital is an international investment fund with its main funds coming from the UK. It currently manages funds of up to US$4 million, which is not a large scale and is considered a small fund internationally.

At present, only small funds like this kind of funds pay attention to Jingdong. Large investment funds and venture capital funds simply disdain Jingdong.

At that time, Ali was unable to raise funds in China, so it had to seek help from international capital. Now Jingdong is in the same situation. There is no domestic capital willing to invest.

Today Capital also promised him that if Jingdong made progress after the first round of financing, it would continue to invest 10 to 20 million US dollars in the B round of financing next year or the year after.

But he wanted to speed up the development to catch up with Ali and expand the scale of the A round of financing, so he gave He Zhongqiu such a high-priced contract. This was also the reason why he was uneasy, because the possibility of the contract being rejected by the sucker was too high.

But that was just his test. What he really hoped to get from He Zhongqiu was 20 million US dollars. He couldn't afford more than that, and he was reluctant to give up more shares.

If He Zhongqiu really gave him $1 million, he would probably have to give his entire company to He Zhongqiu and work for him.

Moreover, the company's valuation is too low now and it has not developed, so it has not reached the stage of large-scale financing. Only when the company's valuation reaches a certain scale will it have the chips for large-scale financing. This is why financing must be carried out in rounds. If the pace is too fast, the chicken and the eggs will belong to others.

"Ding ding..."

At this moment, the phone in my hand rang. I quickly looked down and saw that it was Lin Xue. I answered it immediately: "Hello, Mr. Lin, any good news?"

Lin Xue said, "Boss Liu, Boss Yang said that your contract is not sincere and seems to be fooling her."

"No, no, I really have no intention of fooling Mr. Yang. Mr. Lin, please give me a chance, can I have a face-to-face meeting with Mr. Yang?" Boss Liu was anxious.

Lin Xue said: "Look, your A round financing starts at $1 million, which is not in line with the rules of financing, and you only offer 30% of the shares. Where is the sincerity?"

"Let's talk. Everything can be discussed." Boss Liu said hurriedly.

"Okay then. President Yang wants to conduct formal financing negotiations," said Lin Xue.

"Okay, sure."

Boss Liu became excited instantly.

The fact that they did not directly refuse but wanted to negotiate shows that there is hope, and this is the best news.

As for the mere 10 million US dollars from Today Capital, hey, you already have a Ferrari, who would care about a bicycle?

There is domestic capital willing to invest, who wants foreign capital?

Foreign capital operations are too mature, and China is still very unfamiliar with capital operations. It is more in his interest to choose domestic capital.

Lin Xue said: "In addition, Mr. Liu, Yang Xue needs you to come up with a long-term development plan. You need to explain clearly how to use the funds after you get them."

"That's no problem. I'll make a plan right away," Boss Liu assured.

"Also, Mr. Liu, don't talk about the $1 million. Tell me honestly, how much do you want to raise in the A round?" Lin Xue asked.

Boss Liu's face turned red, and he said with a smile, "Excuse me, Mr. Lin, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Actually, my original target was 2000 million US dollars, and we have already negotiated it. If Wolverine is willing to invest, I hope it will be million US dollars." Lin Xue said, "Then Mr. Liu, please tell me what price you are willing to pay, so that I can talk to Mr. Yang."

"20% of the shares, but I hope that the voting rights will always be in my hands. I cannot lose control of the company, otherwise I might as well sell the company." Boss Liu said firmly.

"There is no problem with the voting rights. Yang Xue and Wolverine are not interested in the management rights of your company. They are too busy with their own business." Lin Xue said.

"That's great." Boss Liu said happily.

"Okay, Mr. Liu, that's all for today. You wait for my reply." Lin Xue said and hung up.

As for He Zhongqiu, I opened the system and took a look before going to bed.

In terms of skills, in addition to martial arts and basketball, track and field is also included in the statistics.

But the system only counts the sprint and long jump, not the high jump.

Because he has little time to train high jump, he focuses most of his energy on sprinting and the rest of his energy on long jump. His high jump level has not reached level 20, so it is not counted in the system.

C. Track and field skills:
1. Sprint

a, 100 meters: Level 65

b, 200 meters: Level 64

c, 400m: Level 63

2. Long Jump

a. Running long jump: Level 60

B, Triple Jump: Level 58

These events have their own initial levels. For example, the initial level for 100 meters is 45. He has upgraded 20 levels in the past few months.

He has no idea how many steps he has run since he was a child. He also practiced running during physical training, and his initial level was over 20.

However, the system did not previously count track and field events. This was probably because he did not consider running as an independent sport, so it was not counted.

Sprint events are divided into several small stages. For example, the 100-meter event has four small stages, namely the start, acceleration (the first 30 meters), mid-run (30 to 80 meters), and sprint (the last 20 meters).

The 200m and 400m are divided into 5 small stages, with an additional curve.

The system also counts the levels of these small stages separately.

In the 100-meter event, his current starting level is 60, acceleration level is 61, mid-run level is 70, and sprint level is 69.

In addition, the methods of acquiring and upgrading proficiency in track and field events are different from those in basketball and martial arts.

Martial arts only have 5 levels, while track and field and basketball are both at level 100.

But the proficiency required for level one is not 3000 points like in basketball, but 300 points, one tenth, so that so many upgrades were made in one off-season.

In fact, this is also because track and field sports require more talent, and the techniques are not as diverse and complex as team sports such as basketball, so they do not require so much proficiency.

In the 100-meter training, a correct start can gain a proficiency, and just like in basketball, consecutive successes will give bonuses.

Except for the start, the proficiency in the other three stages is not gained by the number of times, but by the pace of running.

To put it simply, for example, in the acceleration running stage, very good acceleration techniques are needed. The body should lean forward significantly, the stride should be reduced, and the speed should be increased to the maximum within 30 meters before entering the mid-running stage.

At this stage, as long as you take a correct step, you will gain proficiency, but there is no bonus for consecutive correct steps.

In addition, among the three short-distance running events, the levels and proficiency gained in the four stages of starting and accelerating, mid-distance running, and sprinting are universal and can be upgraded together.

The 200m and 400m events have an additional curve, which requires very particular technique, so He Zhongqiu’s current level in these two events is not as good as the 100m.

In addition, his 200m and 400m results were not as good as his 100m, mainly because he was too tall, which resulted in his worst cornering technique.

Now his team is still studying his technical problems, repeatedly testing and adjusting to achieve the best results.

For example, when starting to run, his legs were too long, so he had to adjust the stride for the first step many times to ensure optimal acceleration.

The same goes for the stride length in other stages. It is not about how big a stride he can take, but what size of stride can produce the strongest explosive power. Only that size of stride is most suitable for him.

He has also been training his lower limb explosiveness, with an emphasis on increasing the speed of his muscles.

With the support of many professors and experts, and after several months of the most professional explosive power training, the explosive power of level 108 has been improved to level 114, and the speed has been improved from level 90 to level 95.

After the team’s evaluation, he currently has the physical athletic qualities to become a first-class sprinter, but there is still some distance to become a top sprinter.

The gap in terms of technology is even greater. Currently, he is not even third-rate. Level 70 is barely third-rate, level 80 is second-rate, level 90 is first-rate, and level 95 is top-rate.

Next, he needs to continue to hone his skills and further improve his explosive power.

In terms of explosive power, he felt that his explosive power of level 114 should have reached the level of top sprinters, but why did the team's assessment not reach that level?

According to the team, this was due to his weight.

With the same explosive power, he is dozens of kilograms heavier than other sprinters, so with the same explosive power, he cannot produce the same speed.

But he can't lose weight yet because he still has to play basketball and box.

In fact, his track and field team was also very curious about his weight, because he did not have very full muscle lines, but with the same physique, he weighed more than others.

This is of course due to stronger muscles and bones, or even to the energy and blood. This is difficult to explain to the team, so they can only continue to be confused.

The team ultimately concluded that his bone density was far beyond that of the average person, so they tested 15 parts of his body.

When the results came out, everyone was shocked because his bone density was far beyond that of ordinary people.

普通人一般的骨密度是-1到+1之间，大于0.1即正常，而他的15个部位中最低的骨密度也达到了4.5。

Several times the strength, which means that his bones are as hard as steel. No wonder his ability to withstand blows and injuries is so abnormally strong.

"monster!"

After the test results came out, all the professors in the team gave him this evaluation.

This time, because of him, the world's best sprinting professionals gathered together for research and discussion, and gained a new understanding of the sport of sprinting.

At present, sprinting techniques are relatively crude and rely more on talent.

This time, they realized that technology is just as important as talent.
