Chapter 252 I have a complete timetable for the launch
Hearing the question coming from the mobile phone, Qin Shaoyan couldn’t recover for a while. He covered his mobile phone and looked up at Zhang Pingyi, and asked stupidly: "What day is it today?"
"It's the sixth day of the new year." Zhang Pingyi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's broken." Qin Shaoyan quickly stabilized himself Xin Shen said to the phone: "Listen to my explanation."
"Say it!" Su Ran said angrily.
"That's it." Qin Shaoyan smoothed over his thoughts and said, "A team from the United States suddenly came to visit today to discuss an important business."
"The negotiation process was quite tense, so I spent my time Forgot."
"I will cancel this business negotiation now and send the business team from the United States back immediately. You wait for me to pick you up."
Su Ran immediately heard this. I was startled, my heart was pounding, and I hurriedly said: "No, you should be busy with work."
"How can you delay such an important thing? I'm not in a hurry. I'll give it to you when I have time." Call me, don’t bother me now.”
Qin Shaoyan hesitated for a moment, "You know where my company is, right?"
"Yes." Su Ran replied.
"Then come here first and wait until I finish my work here." Qin Shaoyan asked, "Do you think this is okay?"
Su Ran hesitated and asked tentatively: " Isn’t this good? Will it disturb your work?”
“No, no,” Qin Shaoyan smiled, “Come first, we’ll talk to you later.”
After Qin Shaoyan hung up the phone, he looked up and looked at the others, "Where did we just talk?"
Zhang Pingyi quickly reminded, "You told Mr. Xiong that you wanted to form a group to cheat."
< br>"Oh, right." Qin Shaoyan rediscovered his previous train of thought and said solemnly, "Let's keep this matter strictly confidential for now. I would like to ask everyone present not to reveal the news."
< br>Xiong Xiaoge asked directly: "If others ask, what can and cannot be said."
"You can disclose a little bit about the acquisition, but you don't have to disclose the matter of asking Mr. Xiong to cooperate." "Said." Qin Shaoyan asked with a smile, "Mr. Xiong, what do you think?"
"I know what's appropriate." Xiong Xiaoge said with a straight face, and then looked at Zheng Nan, "Mr. Zheng, Mr. Xu, do you have any questions?"
Xu Xin, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. She said very worriedly: "Mr. Xiong, is it inappropriate to do this?"
Xiong Xiaoge immediately asked: "Mr. Xu, what do you think is wrong?"
Xu Xin Frowning, "I always feel uneasy. If my colleagues know about it in the future..."
Xiong Xiaoge asked: "So what if we know, are we breaking the law?"
Xu Xin replied hesitantly: "That's not true."
"Since there is no crime, what do you have to worry about?" Xiong Xiaoge said in a deep voice, "The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and we are not treating guests to dinner."
“Since Qin Shaoyan can blow up the valuation, and his peers recognize it, it is a matter of mutual consent between you and me. What’s wrong?”
Qin Shaoyan, who was sitting next to him, couldn’t help but give Xiong Xiaoge gave a thumbs up, and these words spoke to Qin Shaoyan's heart.
Everything in the shopping mall is done consensually. The same goes for entrepreneurship and venture capital. Mr. Xiong still understands me.
If you are unwilling, you won’t invest real money in me, right?
Xu Xin thought for a moment and realized that there was nothing wrong with what she said, so she nodded, "Then I agree, but what did Mr. Hou say?"
"It's just because he didn't attend today. There is no need to inform him yet." Xiong Xiaoge said directly, "Even if he knows the truth in the future, he won't blame you. The more people know about it, the greater the risk of exposure."
Xu Xin nodded. He nodded and stopped talking.
Zheng Nan pondered for a long time, "What should I say about the acquisition price of Qvod.com?"
"If you want to convey news to the outside world, you have to have something genuine."
"Let's talk about US$240 million to the outside world first." Qin Shaoyan said directly, "Let's be conservative about the number first. , this news seems more real."
Xiong Xiaoge said sarcastically: "Is your number still conservative?"
"It's very conservative compared to US$360 million." Qin Shaoyan smiled. Hehe said, "I know you may not agree with these figures."
"But if you look back at this period of history three years later, when Qvod.com is launched, you will You will find that the valuation of US$360 million is still too conservative.”
"IPO in three years?" Zheng Nan was a little surprised, "Is Mr. Qin so optimistic?"
"I'm not optimistic." Qin Shaoyan said confidently, "I had a detailed strategy when I established the website Planning the schedule, I will record what to do at each time point here."
Qin Shaoyan tapped his forehead with his fingers and said with confidence: "I am sincere to these investors. , Don’t think that I just shouted out a random estimate to you on a whim.”
“I know you may not believe me.”
Xiong Xiaoge sneered, and Qin Shaoyan started again. Painted cake.
"Let me tell you a number." Qin Shaoyan stretched out his palm and turned it over. "Give me three to four years, and I will send Qvod.com to be listed on Nasdaq. The market value will not be less than 2.5 billion US dollars."< br>
$2.5 billion? !
The first thought in the minds of the people present was that Qin Shaoyan, you are too brave to brag. You are just telling such lies.
Even Zhang Pingyi felt that Qin Shaoyan had taken the wrong medicine today, or had he simply gone crazy?
What about others?
You dare to draw any kind of cake.
With a market value of US$2.5 billion in four years, I’m afraid it’s hard to say that CampusNet had a market value of US$2.5 billion when it was listed. You dare to brag like this for a video website that was just established.
Zheng Nan said in surprise: "Mr. Qin, it is a good thing to be ambitious. Let's get down to earth first, shall we?"
Qin Shaoyan smiled slightly and said confidently: "I knew you guys You don’t believe it, just like when I was working on the campus network, you didn’t believe it when I said it was five billion, and you didn’t believe it when I said it was twenty billion.”
“What happened in the end?”
Xiong Xiaoge frowned, looked directly at Qin Shaoyan with bright eyes, and shouted in a deep voice: "Mr. Qin, the market value is US$2.5 billion?"
"US$2.5 billion!" Qin Shaoyan nodded seriously. nodded.
“How long will it take to be on the market?” Xiong Xiaoge continued to ask.
"It will be launched in 2009, and no later than 2010." Qin Shaoyan said firmly, "All my plans are based on this time point, and I will start to push back the project process."
< br>"Okay!" Xiong Xiaoge showed a smile, "Then I will trust Mr. Qin again. This time, Xiong Xiaoge will fully cooperate with you."
Zheng Nan also stretched out his hand and shook Qin Shaoyan's hand, and said with some excitement and expectation: "Next, we are waiting to appreciate Mr. Qin's business methods."
Soon the atmosphere in the office became enthusiastic again. When he got up, Xiong Xiaoge's expression finally no longer tensed.
Zheng Nan has already started discussing with Qin Shaoyan whether the timetable will be a bit rushed, whether the preparations for the listing are sufficient, and whether it should be postponed.
Qin Shaoyan was very comfortable with these issues. He confidently assured Zheng Nan that there was no problem with the timing and the timing of the listing was also specially selected.
He has roughly ideas and plans for the next development direction of Qvod. All that remains is to wait for everyone’s funds to be in place for Qvod to take off immediately.
Qin Shaoyan always talks about money, which seems particularly vulgar.
But Xiong Xiaoge doesn’t care. What do entrepreneurs talk about if they don’t talk about money?
Talk about ideals? Talk about the future?
VCs give you money to make money back to investors, not to help you realize your dreams and pay for tuition.
Xiong Xiaoge, Zheng Nan and Xu Xin finally left the office in a relaxed mood, and even greeted the campus network executives in a good mood,
This scene stunned both parties. How come they reconciled after a while?
When they entered the house just now, Xiong Xiaoge and the other three were in a tense atmosphere, with a strong attitude of launching an army to accuse them, but now they started talking and laughing again.
It must be Mr. Qin, he really has a way of coaxing investors. Zhang Pingyi watched Xiong Xiaoge and others go away, and couldn't help but glance at Qin Shaoyan worriedly, "Did you go too far with your deception just now?"
"No, it's just right." Qin Shaoyan Said with a smile.
"That's 2.5 billion U.S. dollars?" Zhang Pingyi said helplessly, "Are you really that confident?"
"Absolutely." Qin Shaoyan said casually, "Will the market value of Qvod Network be higher by then?" It must be because the market environment is not good, Mr. Xiong and the others should not blame me."
Zhang Pingyi felt a little weird and asked: "What if Xiong Xiaoge forced you to sign a gambling agreement?"
< br>Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "I don't think Xiong Xiaoge dared to let me sign that thing. Do you believe it?"
Zhang Pingyi thought about it and felt that it was really hard to talk about it.
Qin Shaoyan's market value of US$2.5 billion is not just random talk, he has a basis for it.
Youku was launched in 2006 and went public in the United States in 2010. It reached a market value of US$2.768 billion on the day it opened.
As long as Qvod.com operates steadily, unless a senior executive is involved in a divorce lawsuit, the market value of Qovo.com will not be less than US$2.5 billion.
That’s why Qin Shaoyan has the confidence to criticize venture capital.
Zhang Pingyi didn’t know where Qin Shaoyan’s confidence came from, but he still chose to believe in Qin Shaoyan.
"Then what are we going to do next?" Zhang Pingyi asked seriously.
Qin Shaoyan smiled slightly, "When you brag about the valuation, of course you have to brag first before talking about it."
Qin Shaoyan picked up the phone and said, "Hey, Bingbing?"
"Have you returned to the capital?"
"Please help me contact newspapers and magazines related to economics and finance. I have some inside information."
"Yes, time is quite urgent, just these two days."
"Forget about interviews, just publish a few manuscripts."
"The travel expenses are not small."
After Qin Shaoyan hung up the phone, he gestured OK to Zhang Pingyi, "What's left is to watch the Internet trolls exert their power."
Zhang Pingyi was stunned for a moment, "What is a troll?"< br>
...
Downstairs of the Campus Network Company, a commercial vehicle slowly drove over and parked on the side of the road.
Xiong Xiaoge’s assistant stepped forward, opened the car door, and helped him get into the car.
Before the assistant could get into the car, Zheng Nan rushed forward in one stride, leaving the assistant stunned on the spot.
However, the assistant responded quickly and knew that the two bosses had something to discuss, so he closed the car door smoothly.
"Oh, wait a minute." Xu Xin walked over quickly, "I haven't gotten in the car yet."
The assistant immediately opened the door again, invited Xu Xin in, and closed the door again.
Soon the driver was kicked out, and he and his assistant stood nearby smoking a cigarette and waiting.
Xu Xin looked at Xiong Xiaoge and Zheng Nan and sighed, "Mr. Xiong, Mr. Zheng, this Qin Shaoyan talks so much about cheating, how can you believe him so easily?"
Xiong Xiaoge slightly Smiling, "If someone else was bragging like this, I would have asked him out a long time ago, but if it was Qin Shaoyan who said this, I would have to take it seriously."
Xu Xin was stunned, "Is Qin Shaoyan really worthy of your trust?"
Zheng Nan said, "There is no trust at all, just half-believe it."
Xu Xin looked at Xiong Xiaoge, "Mr. Xiong, what about you?"
"Investing means investing in people." Xiong Xiaoge said with a confident air, "Why did I take the initiative to invest in Qin Shaoyan's video website, because I believed in his ability."
“Qin Shaoyan looks like he’s cheating on you, but he can round up the pie for you every time.”
"His ability has been proven in the campus network project."
"So, it doesn't matter if Qiaobo.com believes in him once."
"Anyway, we didn't invest much money. ”
Xu Xin thought for a while and realized that Xiong Xiaoge was right.
When Kuaibo.com raised capital, its valuation was only US$12 million, and each company claimed 5% of the shares, which was only US$600,000.
It is indeed a small project for venture capital institutions like them, so in that case, let Qin Shaoyan take care of it.
It’s not much money even if you lose everything.
But if it happens, the value of the shares will increase dozens of times.
Besides, the collapse of Qvod.com is a small probability event, so the rest is just how much the valuation can rise.
Zheng Nan let out a sigh of relief, "Today's meeting was really fruitful."
"Not only did it prove that Qin Shaoyan didn't really want to sell Kuaibo.com."
"I also learned about the listing timetable from him."
Xiong Xiaoge also breathed a sigh of relief, but he Still warned: "Having said that, we still have to be careful about Qin Shaoyan's surprise attack."
"He really sold Qvod.com, and we won't even have time to cry by then."
“Mr. Xiong is worrying too much.” Zheng Nan laughed, “Qin Shaoyan said it himself, let’s stop him from selling Qvod.com.”
"So to prevent him from pretending to be real, we have to prepare in advance and act seriously."
Zheng Nan is also an experienced venture capital investor for many years. He has many ways to deal with entrepreneurs, so he naturally feels at ease. There is calculation.
Xiong Xiaoge nodded, "Yes, let's take it seriously."
"Let the lawyer make preparations first and collect materials. If anything happens, appeal to the court immediately."
“At the same time, find the news media first, prepare the manuscript in advance, and build public opinion.”
"But the scale must be grasped, and the muscles and bones of Qvod.com cannot be hurt."
"Don't worry." Zheng Nan said calmly, "As soon as litigation starts on this matter, the acquisition will not proceed."
Xiong Xiaoge also paid attention to these minutiae, changed the subject and said: "How much do you think Qin Shaoyan can achieve the valuation of Qvod.com?"
"Two hundred and forty million US dollars should be about the same." Zheng Nan After thinking for a while, "Should we prepare according to this valuation?"
Xiong Xiaoge shook his head, "Let's prepare according to US$360 million."
Xu Xin next to her was stunned, "Mr. Xiong, is this number wrong?"
"Don't think this valuation is high." Xiong Xiaoge said seriously, "You must be fully prepared to face Qin Shaoyan."< br>
