Chapter 167 I'm not interested in money
Today's meeting was generally a success, but after that, the atmosphere was a little subtle despite the enthusiasm.
After the meeting, Qin Shaoyan stood up to see him off, and the conference room quickly became empty.
The remaining two groups, Xiong Xiaoge and Zheng Nan, were still sitting there, exchanging glances with each other.
Zheng Nan waved his hand and dismissed the assistant translators and looked at Xiong Xiaoge, who was motionless.
"Mr. Xiong, why do I feel that what Taylor said just now is wrong." Zheng Nan frowned and said, "Aren't he and Qin Shaoyan singing a double act?"
"I have to be on guard." Xiong Xiaogeban He nodded with a face, "It's unreasonable to ask the founder to cash out even if there is no B round."
"Maybe it was just a show for us. Qin Shaoyan might also mention cashing out to us."
Zheng Nan also agreed with Xiong Xiaoge. He had been fooled once.
Previously, Qin Shaoyan used their Chinese Sequoia to force American Sequoia away, and used Facebook’s valuation to increase the valuation of Campus Network.
Otherwise, how could a campus network with only 200,000 users be valued at an outrageous figure of 1.5 billion.
Fortunately, Qin Shaoyan does have the ability to make the campus network so impressive that the valuation of 1.5 billion is considered worthwhile.
But today’s meeting looks familiar.
Xiong Xiaoge also felt something was wrong. He looked at Zheng Nan, "Will you follow round B?"
"I will definitely follow." Zheng Nan said without hesitation, "Campus Network We at Sequoia will not give up on such a potential project, Mr. Xiong.”
"We at IDG will also follow." Xiong Xiaoge said seriously, "Since everyone is optimistic about the campus network, we cannot let Qin Shaoyan cash out, otherwise we will be locked in if he runs away before the IPO."
Xiong Xiaoge If you are well-informed, you have learned from the past that VCs are trapped by entrepreneurs, and you have to guard against it.
"Mr. Zheng, please cooperate with me in a moment." Xiong Xiaoge made a decisive decision, "We must give Qin Shaoyan a good thumbs up."
"Yes, give him some tips." Zheng Nan agreed, "We can't let them Treat us as a cash machine.”
The two quickly reached an agreement.
After Qin Shaoyan enthusiastically sent away the American venture capital group, he returned to the office and saw Xiong Xiaoge and Zheng Nan sitting there.
The two of them looked at Qin Shaoyan quietly without saying anything with straight faces.
Qin Shaoyan felt baffled, "Boss, why are you looking at me with such strange eyes."
Xiong Xiaoge sighed, "Mr. Qin is old, he should be like other bosses That way, you can drive a luxury car, live in a mansion and wear a famous watch.”
Zheng Nan nodded.
Xiong Xiaoge glanced at Qin Shaoyan, "I remember Mr. Qin is still single, is he in love?"
Zheng Nan sighed, "A monthly salary of 10,000 yuan is really not enough."
"Mr. Qin, are you short of money recently?" Xiong Xiaoge took over the conversation, "If you are short of money, just say it. We will definitely not make things difficult for Mr. Qin."
"Who among you is this weird?" Qin Shaoyan was very worried. Displeased, "I'm short of money, can you two give me gold coins?"
Xiong Xiaoge snorted, "Taylor said that the next round of financing will let you cash out and improve your life."
"Our campus network can't lag behind others, right? If you want to cash out, just tell me a number."
"What did I say that I want to cash out?" Qin Shaoyan's face turned dark at that time, "I worked my ass off. Is the purpose of building a campus network just to make some money for cashing out?”
“You guys underestimate me, Qin Shaoyan.”
“The campus network has been established for nine months, and it has not made any money for me. A penny? In addition to your 300 million yuan, I also invested several million in the early stage."
"I have worked day and night to get the campus network to where it is now. I really want to. What kind of campus network should I use to make money?”
"Did you see that the game company downstairs can earn me 20 million US dollars if I work for a month? Can the campus network reach this level?"
Xiong Xiaoge: "..." Zheng Nan: "... ..."
What he said makes sense.
Qin Shaoyan said angrily: "I started the campus network to make some achievements and for a greater cause."
"I didn't start my business just for the stinky money from your venture capital firms."
Xiong Xiaoge coughed awkwardly, "No, it's not, don't speak so unpleasantly."
Zheng Nan Looking at Xiong Xiaoge in disbelief, your attitude changed too quickly.
Qin Shaoyan did not go down the steps, but became even more angry, "Investors and entrepreneurs should have a relationship of mutual trust and cooperation. How can I do this if you are suspicious here all day long?"< br>
Xiong Xiaoge smiled and said, "Look, you are in a hurry."
"We have always believed in you, otherwise why would we have invested 300 million to you without hesitation."
"And we will continue to invest in the next round. How could we have done so if we had no confidence in you?" I'm throwing a lot of money at you."
Qin Shaoyan glared at the two of them and said angrily: "What you just said was so chilling!"
"Why do you drive a luxury car and live in a mansion? , isn’t this mocking me?”
“I’m still renting a house for 3,500 yuan a month, and I share the water and electricity equally with Zhang Pingyi.”
“The two cars bought by the company are usually used to entertain customers. We usually ride bicycles to and from get off work, but they were stolen last week.”
“This Patek Philippe was given to me by another company. "
As he spoke, Qin Shaoyan took off his watch and threw it on the table.
Zheng Nan said quickly: "Mr. Qin, don't get me wrong, we have no other intentions."
"Taylor just said that Mr. Qin's life is too miserable, and we agree."< br>
"Actually, we also want to ask Mr. Qin if you want to cash out part of the money in the next round to improve your life."
Xiong Xiaoge thought for a while and then said: "You can cash out a little, and at least buy a house to live in. It's so convenient."
Qin Shaoyan snorted, "I'm not interested in money. I don't like money."
"I have no need to cash out at all."
< br>Xiong Xiaoge and Zheng Nan looked at each other in confusion.
Is it really wrong?
This is a bit embarrassing.
"I beg you not to keep focusing on me personally, but on the campus network." Qin Shaoyan said angrily, "The campus network is our foundation, develop it as soon as possible, and develop it as soon as possible. This is our common goal."
"By the way," Qin Shaoyan suddenly said, "I will now inform the two bosses that after the Athens Olympics and before the start of the new semester, the campus network will be launched. We need to raise Series B for our next expansion plan.”
“Valuation of 5 billion, will you follow?”
Xiong Xiaoge nodded, "Five billion... okay!"
Zheng Nan immediately said, "We Sequoia will follow."
Qin Shaoyan was stunned and regretted a little.
There seems to be less shouting!
However, Qin Shaoyan did not hesitate. After sending away the two suspicious VCs, he immediately called Fred to inquire about the progress there.
Fred immediately said that the public relations team and officials from the International Olympic Committee have been in contact.
There is just a problem. The other party wants to collect money but doesn’t really want to do anything.
