"For the strength of the Aurora Fund, we are absolutely assured, but the current growth stage of the Ark company, is not very suitable for financing, we have developed a detailed financing stage for the development of the entire company, we are still in the early stage of development, we hope that the company's equity structure remains relatively stable, so that the company can remain in the established direction. Li Feng said bluntly, "When we first invested in the Ark platform, we did not regard it as a business, but as an overseas business, which is not only the foundation of the Pioneer Fund Company, but also an important fulcrum of our New Dream Group overseas, so we will not give our shares, not only will not, but in the future, we may further increase the investment and support of the Ark Platform in terms of capital and technology." ”

The meaning of Li Feng's words was already very clear, if he wanted to eat the Ark platform at this time, he didn't have to think about it.

Weiner's face was a little ugly, if it was someone else, maybe he would have started to threaten, but the other party was Li Feng, an Internet tycoon from Huaxia, who even had a high reputation in the American market, and in the face of such a figure, Weiner also knew that his threat would not play any role.

But President Schmidt has already spoken, asking him to invest in the Ark platform, if he can't do such a small thing, Weiner himself feels that he can't explain it.

"Mr. Li, I know that you attach great importance to the development of the Ark platform, so you made a special trip from Huaxia. If you still feel that the price is not suitable, we can raise the offer, if the overall acquisition plan you can not recognize, then the appropriate shareholding is a good choice, after all, you will not be unclear about the strength of our Aurora Fund, and we as shareholders of the Ark Company, it will definitely be beneficial to the development of the Ark Company in the future. At the same time, once we take a stake, there will be more opportunities for cooperation with New Dream Group in the future. Weiner said with a temper tantrum.

Weiner now feels that President Schmidt thinks that the Ark platform is good, and a large part of the reason is because its investor is Li Feng, Li Feng is a world-class genius who has risen in the Internet field in recent years, and even Leo Porter, the president of the Universal Mall, has a high opinion of him.

In the face of such a character, Weiner had no choice but to make some concessions.

"Mr. Weiner, I think there is still a big difference between Wall Street and Silicon Valley, the availability of resources on both sides is not too high, for Wall Street, the return on investment is the first, and presumably the Aurora Fund is the same. However, for Internet entrepreneurs, our goal is to change the world through network means, and it is not important whether we make a profit in the short term, it is precisely because of the difference in goals between each other that we have always been more cautious about investment behavior, which I hope Mr. Weiner can understand. Li Feng said.

Li Feng knew that in front of these powerful Wall Street bigwigs, he had to stick to his own ideas and not leave the slightest leeway, otherwise they would use this as a breakthrough to quickly find a new negotiation strategy.

Although Weiner controls tens of billions of dollars in venture capital funds, it is still slightly worse than Internet tycoons like Leoper, after all, Leoper is an industrial company and can really influence the development of the Internet world, while Weiner is just playing the game of capital.

So even if he is a Wall Street boss, Li Feng has no intention of backing down.

"Mr. Li, I roughly understand what you mean, we Aurora Fund is currently looking for an Internet investment platform project, originally the Ark platform is our best choice, but there is no shortage of similar models of startups in the market, we need to invest in such a type of company in the short term to achieve the diversification of our internal business model, which is also unaffordable for us. "So if the Ark Company is not open to financing, we can only look for another one, and once it becomes a competitor to your company, everyone will be unhappy." ”

Weiner couldn't help but use his old tricks.

This set of rhetoric is still very effective for those fledgling entrepreneurs, after all, they are inexperienced, and their ability to analyze and control the future is not good.

But this time is different, the opponent is Li Feng, the president of the New Dream Group, he has been honed many times on the battlefield of the Internet, whether it is in the face of the attack of giant companies, or in the face of the incursion of small and medium-sized companies, he has never been afraid, but in the continuous self-improvement and business model upgrading, to find a way to defeat the opponent.

Li Feng smiled slightly: "Mr. Weiner, although this project can be copied and grafted in terms of business model, it still has a threshold, even if others can make an investment platform similar to ours, but they can't do similar services to us, this is the key to the rise of the Ark platform." Business isn't just a series of cold numbers on financial statements, there are many things that can't be quantified and measured in numbers, and these things are difficult to imitate. As I've said before, this is the difference between the Wall Street mindset and our Internet mindset. ”

Although Li Feng's words didn't say anything explicitly, he had already responded well to Weiner's words just now, and at the same time let Weiner see the confidence of the Ark platform.

Weiner nodded: "Mr. Li, maybe you don't know much about the power of Wall Street, if you are not willing to approach this force and choose to be free from this force, then I can only express regret." Under the Internet thinking, you actually need to rely on the power of capital to expand rapidly, and in this process, you can't do anything without money, which you must be very clear as entrepreneurs. There is a division of labor in society, and the division of labor on Wall Street is that money makes money, and we are more expert in this than anyone else, and if you keep thinking that we are just making money and not responsible for anything else, and you exclude us, it is completely unnecessary. ”

"I was taught by Mr. Weiner's words, we are not rejecting Wall Street thinking, but we need capital that can be harnessed, Wall Street is too powerful, and we are worried that it may get out of control in the future, so at this stage, we are still cautious. Li Feng said, "When one day, our company is strong enough, I believe we can have equal opportunities for cooperation." ”
