Chapter 281 Four Vertical and Three Horizontal Theory, Angel Investors
“Junior.”
Wang Xing looked into the car with some embarrassment, but did not go directly to open the door.
"Senior, you're welcome. It's very cold outside. Come on up."
Xu Qingshan lowered the window and asked Wang Xing to get in the car.
"Oh, okay."
Wang Xing got into the car and folded his hands.
When he arrived in front of Xu Qingshan, he didn't know how to speak.
"Fasten your seat belt."
Xu Qingshan looked at Wang Xing and asked with a smile.
"Let's go, let's go and have a rest."
"But."
Xu Qingshan started the Maybach, and the familiarity in his words made Wang Xing stunned, and his expression became natural. many.
"Brother Xing, why didn't you tell me in advance when you arrived in the capital, why do you live so far away?"
Wang Xing understood the pronunciation of Xu Qingshan's words.
He smiled awkwardly.
"Fanfou has been active, and the maintenance of the company also requires funds. I have been wanting to try again for the past six months. I am the major shareholder of the company, so everything is"
"Myself Inject money from your pocket, right?"
Xu Qingshan shook his head and smiled helplessly.
Wang Xing lowered his head and sighed.
He knew that Xu Qingshan's smile was not mocking him, but he still felt a little sad when he said it like this.
Now he still has some money in his hand. For ordinary people, that money is indeed enough to live a good life, but Wang Xing is not willing to give in. If he still wants to continue to start a business, then the money in his hand Every penny goes a long way.
"Okay, after dinner in the evening, I will take you over to pack your luggage, and then go and stay at Boya's place tonight."
Xu Qingshan said.
“This is inappropriate.”
Wang Xing's buttocks feel hot, which is why he's embarrassed.
As a result, he subconsciously reached out and touched the seat.
Oh, the seats are heated, that’s okay.
“What’s wrong with that?”
Xu Qingshan said with a smile.
"Brother Xing, you came to me because we had a good chat with me before. Now that the meal is over, you want to start a new project. Let's talk while eating later. As long as the project is suitable, your strategy will be fine. I invested in this project.”
Xu Qingshan gave Wang Xing a promise, although this promise did not seem to be very guaranteed.
"You and me. Well, okay."
Wang Xing's face turned red and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't.
Xu Qingshan, a junior, was given face and dignity, and now he was outspoken and did not make it difficult for him to speak.
One thing to say.
Wang Xing felt a little defensive.
What breaks the defense is not the uncomfortable defense, but the touching defense.
"Okay, Brother Xing, don't talk about the nonsense, we are fellow villagers and brothers, I also think highly of you, be confident."
Xu Qingshan drives very well Stable, glanced at Wang Xing's appearance, and spoke to comfort him.
But he didn't know that Wang Xing's eyes would turn red inexplicably when he said these words.
For an old straight technical guy to have red eyes in front of a male friend, it already represents the level of emotion.
"Qingshan, really, no matter whether my brother can get up again in this life, I will remember today."
Wang Xing turned his head and looked at the right rearview mirror of the car.
Raise your hand and wipe something quietly.
"Actually, I know it very well in my heart. Qingshan, you are from Peking University and I am from Huaqing University. I am embarrassed to have a relationship with you as seniors. From my hometown, we are at best fellows from Fujian and Yue, and Longshan is considered to be from western Fujian. Well, Longjiang is authentic from southern Fujian. You know, we in Longshan used to be happy for several days if we could marry into the Longjiang family."
What Wang Xing said is true.
Longshan is a mountainous area, while Longjiang is a plain. They also have estuaries, fishing ports, and coastlines, which determines the gap in their richness.
In other words, Longshan has been getting better and better in recent years relying on the development of rare minerals, otherwise the gap will only be wider.
Xu Qingshan did not interrupt Wang Xing, but followed his confession like venting his emotions, chatted with him for a few words, and learned about what he had experienced in recent days.
"Fanfou actually basically announced its shutdown in early November. The projects were stopped and everyone dispersed. I only left some important things and data in the end. If I have money one day, maybe I can still use Fanfou Restart."
Wang Xing said, calming down a bit.
“Later I locked myself in my house for a month and thought seriously about why I had failed so many times in starting a business for so many years. I could fail once or twice, but I couldn’t fail all the time, because I I’m not the only one with the responsibility.”
“When I saw Unzone on the Shuimu Huaqing BBS in 2003, I dropped out of school and returned to China to start a business, and I also recruited Huiwen. Huiwen was at the Chinese Academy of Sciences at the time. He dropped out of school without saying a word, and even borrowed tens of thousands of dollars to join me in investing in shares. He was from a rural background. "
Wang Xing said, obviously he hadn't drank yet, but he still didn't drink. His eyes had begun to become a little blurry, showing a look of intoxication.
"In 2004, I rented a three-bedroom apartment in Haifengyuan, bought three desks and three camp beds, and started working directly."
"In the beginning, it was called Duoduoyou, As a result, nothing was accomplished and there was no income.”
“It took us almost two years to build the school network.”
Speaking of the school network. , Wang Xing is still a little proud.
When Xu Qingshan was drinking with him, he also mentioned the school network, which was his official entry into the entrepreneurial circle.
"At that time, our users exceeded 1 million in half a year. Shen Nanpeng and others were optimistic about this project. However, Chairman Jay of 360 suggested that Sequoia invest in our rival, Seat Seat Network, with a one-time investment of US$5 million."
"Both families have received financing, but our school network has not. Our project is obviously the best."
Wang Xing said, just mentioning these things again, there was no resentment in his words, But a feeling.
"Later Chen Yizhou came. He took more than 10 million and told me, sell the school network to us. You have no money and you can't play."
"Grandpa Huiwen I needed money to get sick, so I borrowed a lot of money, and he hasn't paid back the money for starting a business. I quit my high-paying job in a foreign company and have been using my savings to support myself. If I was alone, I could continue to grit my teeth and try, but I Not alone.”
Wang Xing lowered his head.
“For 16 million, I sold the school network. After getting the money, each of us bought an apartment in the capital. We had our last dinner together at Mazi Barbecue and drank a lot of wine. I hugged and cried for a long time.”
“The money was made, but the business was a failure.”
Xu Qingshan had stopped the car and had driven to the destination. He was not in a hurry to get out of the car, but turned on the heating lights in the car and listened to Wang Xing telling his past and mental journey.
“Later, you will also know that after we organized the meal, we had money this time and could keep it going for 2 years.”
"But it failed in the end."
Wang Xing turned to look at Xu Qingshan and whispered in a hoarse voice.
“I am not willing to accept it.”
“I don’t want to be busy all my life but never produce a decent result.”
“But now I have I have failed so many times when looking for investors for projects, and many people didn’t even meet with me.”
Wang Xing sighed.
“I stood outside the door of his company for eight hours. Finally, I watched him walk out of the company. He didn’t even want to give me a glance, so he got in the car and left.”
"I found Brother Cai later. Brother Cai met me for the sake of fellow villagers, but he was only willing to give me 50,000."
"I know, Brother Cai has so many projects in his hands, how can he be willing to do so?" Giving 50,000 yuan already shows that he is not optimistic about the project in my hand, but what I need is not 50,000 yuan, nor 500,000 yuan, but 5 million yuan.”
“And it’s US dollars.”
Xu Qingshan nodded.
He is also very clear about this. Although Cai Wensheng likes to cast a wide net, he only casts investments with a small base of 50,000 to 500,000. If the investment can reflect results, then he will Will be added.
And now Cai Wensheng has integrated Meitu and is running the Meitu project in full swing on Ludao.
According to what his second uncle told him, Cai Wensheng also listened to his own suggestions and began to reduce and cancel investments in other projects to concentrate on beautiful pictures.
Wang Xing’s inability to get Cai Wensheng’s investment is somewhat related to himself.
"Finally I thought of you." Wang Xing looked at Xu Qingshan and said softly.
“If it still doesn’t work, I should sell the house and borrow some money from my family to try this last time.”
Xu Qingshan smiled.
Good guy, I almost forgot that this senior’s family is in good condition, and his grandfather is the cement king in western Fujian.
"Let's go and eat. I've reserved a private room. Let's talk about your ideas and projects."
Xu Qingshan unbuckled his seat belt, turned off the engine, and said.
"I believe that Brother Xing, your business this time will be successful."
"Maybe"
Wang Xing has little confidence in himself.
The two brothers got out of the car and entered Dong Lai Shun.
No matter how many hot pot meals you have in winter, you will never get tired of it.
“Donglaishun, I haven’t eaten here for a long time.”
Wang Xing looked at the store and smiled wistfully.
When he was starting a business in Beijing, he also liked to bring his team brothers over to eat hot-pot meat in a copper pot. When he thought of the situation at that time, he couldn't help but laugh.
When we entered the private room, we had enough mutton rolls.
Wang Xing had just let go of his guard in the car. At this time, he ate warm meat and drank cold beer, and then he started talking.
"Brother, the more than a month I spent in seclusion in my room was definitely not fruitless."
"Don't worry, I will definitely succeed in starting a business this time."
“Hey, listen to me and tell me what I think!”
“If you want to start a business successfully, you have to pay attention to four verticals and three horizontal directions.”
“These four verticals are actually the four development directions of current Internet user needs, information acquisition, and user communication. Interaction, entertainment, and business. What is important is to dig deep into these four directions, simplify operations, and simplify information.”
“These three horizontal directions are search, social networks, and mobile Internet. , As for mobile phones, you should also feel the benefits of the mobile Internet, right? I see that your mobile game company in Ludao is making a lot of money and has sold several copyrights."
"Then what I want to do this time is actually Gaopeng.com, which you mentioned to me before, junior fellow student."
Wang came excitedly, holding a wine bottle in his hand and insisting Respect Xu Qingshan and praise Xu Qingshan loudly.
If he were a sycophant, that would be fine.
But he is a real person. If he didn't really admire him, he really wouldn't be able to say these words.
Although Xu Qingshan has a good attitude, who could be unhappy about being praised so much by Wang Xing?
The two brothers chatted happily.
After dinner, I couldn’t stuff the mutton rolls anymore, so I had to drink wine.
Xu Qingshan and Wang Xing were arm in arm and patted Wang Xing's shoulder hard.
"Brother Xing, tell me, how much do you need this time? As far as our friendship is concerned, I will cover it all!"
Xu Qingshan also drank a lot.
Nothing more.
Drink until you are half drunk and trick you into tears.
"Okay! Just because of our relationship, if brother comes out with this money, I will prepare all the shares for you! But, brother, have you really agreed that you will give me all your decision-making rights? As long as the original dividends and What are your identities?”
Wang Xing was drunk and dim.
He is very happy today.
Not only because he received investment, but when he exchanged his entrepreneurial ideas and project ideas with Xu Qingshan, he received great recognition from Xu Qingshan.
If Xu Qingshan had simply complimented him, then he wouldn't have had such a big reaction.
But Xu Qingshan proposed some better optimization plans for some nodes in his plan, which made Wang Xing feel that he and Xu Qingshan were close friends.
"Of course, Brother Xing, you also know that I am too busy with scientific research now."
Xu Qingshan put his arms around Wang Xing's shoulders and spoke a little unclearly. said.
“And if this company is really going to be started, it will be our company, and I will invest in you. If the company is not yours, what is the use of having so many shares?”
“The more shares I have, the more it’s because you are here!”
Xu Qingshan's words made Wang Xing hug him and cry.
The two of them quarreled in the private room for a long time, but they both drank. Xu Qingshan called Qiu Jing and asked her to call a driver. He sent Wang Xing to Boya to rest first, and then went to the original place tomorrow. Pick up your luggage at the small hotel.
Wang Xing was already drunk.
Qiu Jing spent some tips to ask a hotel attendant to help take care of Wang Xing.
Xu Qingshan, who was originally drunk and hazy, suddenly sobered up after leaving the hotel with Qiu Jing.
"Boss, let me drive you back."
Qiu Jing was wearing a long down jacket and looked at the man in front of her. He didn't look like he had drunk so much.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Xu Qingshan nodded, he still had something to explain to Qiu Jing.
"Tomorrow, you will communicate with Wang Xing on behalf of Tsingshan Capital. I will come over in the afternoon."
"Okay."
Qiu Jing touched the steering wheel and carefully became familiar with the situation of this luxury car.
“Boss, which standard is more in line with your expectations?”
If it is a normal investment, then Qiu Jing can make the decision and chat with Xu Qingshan first, but Wang Xing is obviously The identity is different, the boss talked about it in person, and she had to understand the boss's bottom line.
“No need to talk this time, we agreed, 5 million US dollars, 40% shareholding ratio.”
"Ah?"
Qiu Jing was stunned for a moment.
5 million US dollars, nearly 35 million Chinese coins.
But what surprised her was not the money, but the shareholding ratio.
With a shareholding ratio of 40%, this is a real major shareholder.
Of course she also knew Wang Xing. He was also noticed by some people in the capital investment circle back then. A big reason why he had not been successfully invested in before was because Wang Xing was unwilling to give up some important rights.
"Yes, I heard you right, but voting rights and decision-making powers will be left to him."
Xu Qingshan said calmly.
As he said that, he remembered and turned his head to look at Qiu Jing.
“I kept forgetting to ask, we should have enough money. I have been busy with academic matters recently. I have read the report you submitted on time, but I didn’t read it too carefully.”
Since Qiu Jinglai was invited to be the helmsman, Xu Qingshan was naturally relieved.
But he didn’t want to disrupt Qiu Jing’s arrangements.
“35 million is still available, but...”
Qiu Jing looked at the talented young man next to her and asked.
“Boss, do you really have to invest in Meituan, which has not yet been established? This is 35 million yuan”
"Well, I have to vote."
After Xu Qingshan finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiu Jing with a smile.
"Sister Qiu, believe it or not, as long as you operate this investment well, you will be able to participate in Meituan's pre-IPO financing. If you hold these shares, your reputation in the investment community will definitely exceed that of Hong Kong. Mr. Shen from Shan.”
Xu Qingshan is very confident, and this confidence is exaggerated.
Qiu Jing was stunned and nodded.
"I will take care of it."
"Let's go."
"Okay."
