Chapter 343: Retreat as Advance

The topics of the forum all mentioned new opportunities, and Fan Liancheng, as an angel investor, how could he not know how critical this current wave of market is.

If you vote well, you may be able to pull the richest man in the casino city off the horse and wrestle with the richest man in Hong Kong City, but if you don't vote well...... At present, life is still the same, but in fact, the impact is not great.

Fan Liancheng sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and took the initiative to run towards him with a lot of "small fish and shrimp".

The meeting lasted for nearly four hours in total, and it will continue tomorrow, but Fan Liancheng no longer plans to continue to show up, and the young entrepreneur named Mao Xiao when he left the venue was already waiting for him at the door, and handed over a business card with both hands.

Seeing that the small pieces of paper were neatly cut and the handwritten italics were like being printed out by the computer, Fan Liancheng spoke as he walked, and said with a smile: "Yo, it's the first time I've received such a business card, so I'm thinking about it." I'm a little busy here, so I guess I don't have time to talk to you, so I'll have someone look for you this afternoon, Du Lin. ”

A few meters away, Assistant Du Lin approached after hearing his name, took a small piece of paper, smiled after reading it, and gave Mao Xiao a business card.

Since he is a person valued by Fan Liancheng, no matter how high or low his status is, his executive assistant will naturally not have any slackness, and told: "At two o'clock in the afternoon, let's meet and talk at this hotel, okay?"

Don't say you have time, even if you don't have time, you have to squeeze it out.

Mao Xiao nodded hurriedly, he saw that everyone began to rush to Fan Liancheng's side, and said a few words warmly and politely, and did not continue to bother, leaving with a cheerful pace, not realizing that he had been targeted by many people.

There were many well-intentioned people present, and there were many who wanted to take a hitchhike, and soon some people began to investigate Mao Xiao, but when the results came out, they might be disappointed, it was indeed just a small entrepreneur, no different from other hopeful and ambitious young people.

Fan Liancheng walked slowly, received a lot of business cards after being surrounded by people, received a lot of dinner invitations, and took a while to get out, not planning to stay at the venue for lunch, and left directly by car......

A business of hundreds of thousands, at most millions, Fan Liancheng does not need to show up in person.

After Mao Xiao finished lunch, he waited anxiously for a long time, and Assistant Du Lin transferred several employees from the company before the appointed time, and personally accompanied the staff of these venture capital institutions to meet Mao Xiao.

Several people sat in the lounge area of the hotel.

After reading the short plan prepared by Mao Xiao in advance, Du Lin told:

"Okay, we understand your family..... Today, the situation of news companies is hotly discussed, and the scale is really ......

But it doesn't matter, it is only a matter of time before we develop a good product and promote it through the channels we have at our disposal. Mr. Mao, tell me, how much do you think this company is worth and how much financing does it need?"

The company he founded himself, Mao Xiao couldn't count it in his heart.

Looking back, even he felt very bold, and he dared to come to Fan Liancheng to get investment before he made the prototype of the product, and it was unbelievably smooth.

I still remember that Fan Liancheng said on the forum that some people don't have a number in their hearts and quote indiscriminately, and at this time they are afraid that they will miss a rare opportunity because of their black hearts, so they hesitated in their tone, and tentatively said: "I took 270,000 yuan to start a business in September last year, and the money is almost spent now, it should be worth 6 or 700,000 yuan?"

This kind of start-up with nothing, in the past, the Fans Fund would not invest at all, Assistant Du Lin wanted to laugh when he heard this, and everyone else present also looked at each other and thought it was interesting.

Or is it because Fan Liancheng specially ordered that no one dare to do anything wrong, the scale of venture capital financing is too small, so small that Du Lin thinks that he can make a decision, so he coughed dryly and continued to answer: "Then, Mr. Mao, we will set the valuation at 700,000 yuan according to your wishes."

To be honest, investing some money in your company is a drop in the bucket, and investing three or four hundred thousand yuan can account for half of the shares. How many shares are you willing to give up and how much investment money do you get?"

Mao Xiao thought about this question at noon.

He also knows that it is difficult to start a business, in order to solve the algorithm problem to hire a lot of people, just to pay people wages will make him unbearable, even if he takes three or four hundred thousand, it is estimated that it is only enough to develop the first generation of news APP, and the follow-up still needs funds.

Deciding to start a business was already desperate, at this time he gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly:

"I have considered that if I don't want the company, it will be sold to you, provided that the company is handed over to me to manage, and I cannot be fired.

At the same time as I am paid, I will also be given 10% of the permanent equity, which means that no matter how I raise the capital, my 10% of the shares will not be diluted. ”

The group of people under Fan Liancheng were slightly stunned, and they really didn't expect Mao Xiao to play this game.

Thinking about it seriously, Assistant Du Lin and others all felt that Mao Xiao was very smart, the company was too small, and since it had been seen that there were no hole cards, it was better to just flip the table and find another way.

Don't think that 10 percent is very little, Fans Fund has also ventured into similar news websites, and it is tens of millions of dollars invested in the expansion and development stage, and it can burn 100 million yuan every year, so it is very valuable to calculate 10% of dry stocks, and you have to get a salary, which is simply a sure profit.

Assistant Du Lin took a sip of tea and said, "I thought you would propose a part of the financing and then borrow 1.8 million yuan from us for development, are you sure that only 10% of the shares are needed?"

Mao Xiao affirmed: "Well, even if I borrow 1.8 million, it will definitely not be enough, I might as well put my hope on you, ninety percent of the shares are in your hands, in case of lack of money during the development period, it is impossible to see death without saving, so I will have no financial troubles."

Give me an annual salary of at least 300,000 yuan, and unless I make random decisions in my head and do things that cause major losses to the company, I can't be fired...... As long as I agree to my conditions, I will definitely work hard and definitely help Xiao Fan make money. ”

The previous sentence was iron-clad, but the last sentence was still timid.

Assistant Du Lin had a smart head, pondered and understood, and while getting up, he beckoned to a small director of the venture capital department.

Don't look at it as an assistant, but Du Lin's power in Fans Holdings is quite large, even if he is exchanged with him as a small manager, Du Lin may not be willing to change.

His status next to Fan Liancheng is similar to that of Liu Zhenlong, an assistant next to Lao Fan, and he is also a seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, and he is the target of other executives to please and cater to.

After discussing with the little supervisor, Du Lin made a phone call to Fan Liancheng, and soon came to Mao Xiao and told him:

"Our Xiao Fan said that the first investment of 5 million yuan can only give you 5% of the dry shares, which are not diluted by financing. An annual salary of 300,000 yuan is OK, and the annual salary increase is at least 10 percent, but if the company collapses the agreement, it will be invalidated.

And the controlling stake cannot be handed over to you, but we promise that as long as the company does not have problems, we will not interfere with your decision. Five percent of the five million, two hundred and fifty thousand, you are equivalent to directly recovering the investment, in addition, I have to mention, our Xiao Fan's total five million is worth more than the 10 million of others, resources, connections these money can't be bought, you think about it, you can achieve it, do not accept bargaining. ”

Mao Xiao wanted to laugh at this time.

Not all entrepreneurs are ambitious, and he has been under great financial pressure lately, and he has started to lose his hair.

Even if you get financing, the probability of success in the end is not high, but when it is handed over to Fan Liancheng, it will be different.

After thinking about it, I finally decided to retreat as advance.

Deliberately pretending to be pensive, he replied after a while, "Okay, I agree......"
