Lao Pan entered Beijing
In early July, Lao Pan arrived in Beijing with two partners and a business plan to find angel financing for the project. Old Pan disgusted hangzhou investors are too stingy, they contacted several investment institutions in Beijing.
Lao Pan had a busy schedule and took the time to visit me, which touched me. When they met again, Lao Pan had his hair combed back, put on a checked suit and smelled faintly of perfume. He looks like the salesman from the life insurance building next door.
I’ve been so busy flirting with my Chinese sister lately that I’ve really snubbed Lao Pan. However, the thought of him in order to please Li Yanan, snubbed me for half a year, the inner sense of guilt instantly weakened a lot.
Friends are coming from afar, and they have to bleed heavily. I found a Cantonese restaurant near my company for dinner. Lao Pan was not unkind and ordered a good table.
When old friends reunite, big talk is necessary. From the moment he sat down, Old Pen had been chattering away.
As soon as he left Beijing South Railway Station, a line from A Better Tomorrow came to mind: “I have been waiting for three years for a chance. I want to fight for my breath, not to prove that I am great, but to tell people that I will get back what I have lost.”
As your friend, IT is my duty to pour cold water on Lao Pan so that he will not get carried away. I said that the success rate of a startup is less than one percent, so it’s not too late to raise money to start the company.
During the dinner, we talked about Li Yanan. Also do not know old pan from where to hear Li Yanan has been with flower arm male parting message.
I asked PAM if he wanted to get back together. Old Pan grinned and waved his hands repeatedly, claiming that he was too busy with his career to make love.
But I can see that, for Li Yanan, old Pan is still in love. Lao Pan is a man who cannot be judged by common sense. Let’s call him philandering. He can be quite infatuating. Let’s call him crazy. He’s going around again.
However, people are very complicated, angels and demons, gentlemen and villains, who has a sharp eye, who can distinguish.
“My two partners, one is the champion of automobile Application and maintenance group in the National Vocational College Skills Competition, and the other is a gold medal sales director I know in Ali.” Lao Pan was talking to me about his start-up project.
“I depend, you find an auto repair champion to be a partner?”
“Don’t underestimate that fellow. For auto repair this pedestrian family knows, there are connections. Elder brother I visited the hut three times, cost the boss strength just please out of the mountain.”
When it comes to projects, Lao Pan knows what to do. After some hype, Lao Pan suddenly contemptibly stared at me: “the team lineup is quite luxurious, the only short board is that there is no one who can lead the technical aspects.”
Catching Lao Pan’s drift, I added, “Trying to trick me into joining the gang again?”
“Elder brother this is to take you out of poverty to get rich, how can call flicker?” Lao Pan frowned, his face wrinkled, “To say cheat, you that big fly brother just call true cheat.”
“Still holding a grudge?” I laughed.
Lao Pan repeatedly shook his head: “Now can not dare, people have been faked into the currency circle celebrities, but also open lectures, but also entrepreneurial coin, it is powerful.”
“Big fly elder brother developed, with us not a level, also alienated.”
Big flying brother with accurate bitcoin market trend forecast famous in the currency circle. In the early days of his fame, Li xiangyang forwarded several posters of big Fei’s lectures to the “Men’s Secret Base” group.
In the poster, Big Fei, dressed in a suit and with arms folded, exudes a sense of heroism. If it is not with big fly brother did for a period of time colleagues, completely can not imagine the currency circle tycoon used to be a chicken nest head, outside eight characters, summer flower shorts, flip-flops.
Big fly elder brother fame gradually sheng, the man secret base group is increasingly cold and deserted. Two months ago, there were no more pictures of beautiful women in the group. Today, clandestine bases exist in name only.
Considering PAM has an investor meeting tomorrow and a powerpoint presentation with his partners tonight, I didn’t give him a drink. During dinner, I helped Pan estimate the technical input of each stage of the project, so that he would have a good idea when asked by investors.
When we said goodbye, Lao Pan shook my hand firmly and said sincerely, “Dayao, think about coming back to Hangzhou with me, and bring your sister with you. It’s only a matter of time before you live apart. When I raise the money, the company will scale up quickly. Hua mei has enough appearance to work as a receptionist in a company. Of course, if you feel that hua-mei is the receptionist, make her my private secretary. I promise my friend’s wife will not cheat……”
The first half of old Pan’s words are quite touching, but the second half of the more said more want to beat. I glared at it. Lao Pan saw this and immediately admitted: “Well, forget it.”
The separation with Hua Mei is not a problem that can be solved by changing a city.
Lao Pan’s “Internet + auto repair” project received 1.5 million angel round investment. The investor is a senior who graduated from the University of Post for many years. He not only invested money, but also introduced many contacts to Lao Pan.
Stories about project financing soon appeared on several startup information sites. Although the layout is not very prominent, and the font is very small, I would not have seen it if Lao Pan had not sent me a screenshot, but at least it is a voice in the industry. Pan is one step closer to becoming Pan president.
Pan told me that once he had the money, he would have to find a way to buy a nice car, which he could sell when he visited his clients. I advised him that since he had taken the money from others, he should do things in a down-to-earth way, and don’t play the fiddle with those empty heads.
Good advice is seldom heard. Lao Pan was enjoying himself at the moment and it was hard to hear what I said. The truth is more annoying, I hope he can make some achievements, do not live up to their own this.
In a few days in Beijing, Lao Pan visited many old friends and even got in touch with Huang Fei and took him to Hangzhou.
Ever since he graduated from an IT training school, Huang has been on the road for job interviews for months without finding anything. For that, he turned to me, and I helped him find a few companies and coached him for a few nights on interview techniques for free. It’s just this guy’s got a little bit of an eye for the future. Simple disdain to do, complex and do not come, finally end up unemployed at home.
Lao Pan became Huang Fei’s saviour, helping him out of his misery. His loyalty is laudable, but Mr Pan is clearly a little too generous. Far from being a help, Huang fei’s current technical capabilities could become a liability. If Lao Pan can shake off this reckless attitude, his chances of success may be better.
What I couldn’t understand was that Lao Pan went to meet Li Yanan. This guy’s mouth calls people home bitch heartless, but his feet are unusually honest, but also delusional peony flower dead, do a ghost also romantic.
Good scar forgot to ache, also do not know li Yanan after all where good, let old Pan unexpectedly so spoony unforgettable. Thanks to Li Yanan also take into account the face, in the heart ashamed, politely rejected the old Pan’s peace.
Before returning to Hangzhou, Lao Pan again lobbied me to join him, and AGAIN I turned him down. The city seemed to have a magic hold on me. I suffered but never wanted to break free.
Half a month later, I saw Lao Pan posted a group photo of the start-up team in my moments. There were six people in the picture, and I recognized Emily right away. She tilted her head and was held in Lao Pan’s arms, smiling.
To start his business, Lao Pan used everyone he could find around him. I don’t know what he used to make it work with Emily. With Emily the senior headhunter to do wife, Lao Pan’s technical team quickly completed. After that, he never encouraged me to go to Hangzhou again.
I don’t know how many people can stay friends with their original lover after breaking up. I think if love is deep enough, most of them are difficult. True love ends either in a happy marriage or in the abyss of old age.
But Pan never seems to be in the deep end, and has turned swords into plowshares with almost any of his girlfriends. I dare not assert that when he is in love with others, he is only acting in love. Can only say that the world of the big, strange, bastard mung beans, help each other.
Angel funds in place, old Pan will be busy.
Since then, I often saw his posts about the night sky after midnight in Hangzhou and some souped-up chicken soup on the streets in my moments.
