Chapter 276: Last Stand
Fan Liancheng also knows how important creativity is to Internet companies, many times it is far more important than hard work, and it is useless to invest money in the wrong industry, especially in industries where there are already companies in the same field.
The so-called Matthew effect is a term commonly used by sociologists and economists, reflecting a social phenomenon of polarization, with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer, which can also be applied to Fan Liancheng.
The reason why I like to invest in Internet companies that have already developed is that it is easier to succeed than small and micro start-up Internet companies.
Because he is a businessman, he can't overestimate Fan Liancheng, but he can't underestimate his strength.
As soon as the plan was handed out, Wang Xing began to be apprehensive, and Fan Liancheng opened the plan to understand the entrepreneurial concept while saying polite words.
In just a few words on paper, Fan Liancheng found it interesting, and sat opposite him, who also had a hunch that Internet mobile intelligent terminal products, that is, those smartphones would be more widely used with the popularization of 3G technology, and then imagine which scenarios they could be used in.
The young man named Wang Xing, who is in his twenties, believes that merchants can unite to create a convenient takeaway shopping platform, place orders through computers and mobile phones, and after the merchants make delicious food, cakes, bouquets or other goods, they will be delivered directly to consumers through the intermediary of the platform's delivery personnel, and meet the needs of customers and merchants by charging service fees.
In addition, the approximate market size, the inconvenience of business district staff to eat, and the lack of young people like to cook are also introduced, and then it is concluded that there are great development prospects in this market.
A few thin pieces of paper, mixed with more than a dozen icons, are completely irregular in Fan Liancheng's eyes, but he is not the kind of character who picks and chooses for this little problem, and said with a smile after closing the folder: "It is indeed more convenient to take out takeaway from many foreign countries, and I used to like to call the merchant directly to order." You mentioned above that there are foreign companies doing similar business, which ones are they?"
"There's a product called Groupon, but I think differently from it, it's more suitable for our country, for example, there are more small mom-and-pop shops, and they need a platform to promote their products, even if they take a certain fee, they can sell more than they can attract customers themselves.
There is also delivery, our salary level is relatively low, employment opportunities are also very short, as long as an electric car or motorcycle, they can rely on the delivery fee paid by the customer to make money, more work, we take a small commission, as for the market, if you can directly deliver to the hand, I believe that many people are too lazy to go out by themselves, especially those who work in the office building, not all office buildings are equipped with canteens, like you here as high-end. ”
When it came to business, Wang Xing was very engaged, and his expression became serious.
He knows very well that there are too many Internet entrepreneurs who have approached Fan Liancheng or received investment from him, and how to make his business more attractive has become the key.
So he added: "In the early stage, we can do promotion, and after the product is developed, it is best to charge only a few dollars, or simply not charge money, let users try a free copy, the cost is up to fifteen yuan, and then we commission from the merchant, for example, twenty yuan for a lunch, four yuan or five yuan, and then the commission can be subsidized to consumers, in the process of opening the market, forming a good cycle, and increasing the number of customers."
In fact, find someone to contact the store one by one, sign a single house to give a certain commission, and then the merchant earns money, the user gets convenient and affordable, and the delivery man can also earn wages from it, and everyone is happy. ”
After listening and pondering for a moment.
Fan Liancheng didn't ask stupid questions such as "how does the company make money", for Internet companies, the number of users, market share, revenue, etc. are equal to value, and almost no investors will care about how much they can earn from profits in the early stage, and unlike traditional enterprises, they care more about the speed of expansion.
If everything goes well, occupying a large market share and a large revenue scale, are you afraid that you won't be able to make money in the future?
A little bit of a heartbeat.
After sorting out the ideas, I will think of the sentence "after the product is developed", and ask with a strange look: "Should you come to me with just an idea to ask me for investment, the product has not been developed yet?"
“...... Well, I have suffered a loss of not enough money before, and this time I want to be fully prepared, there is a saying called not to fight an unprepared battle, it is not difficult to develop finished products in the early stage, but the difficult thing is that the initial expansion of the market must require a large amount of money.
I am ready to pay 50 million yuan myself, and I want to take about 50 million yuan from you, which can give you 40% of the original shares, and I hope that you can help publicize and provide financing after the product is developed. ”
In fact, before Wang Xing came, he had already expected a lot of questions that would be discussed, but Fan Liancheng didn't ask, and jumped directly to product development, accurately hitting the shortcomings.
also took out 50 million yuan, Wang Xing himself had to account for 60%, but Fan Liancheng's venture capital company could only account for 40%, considering that the other party had to be responsible for specific development and promotion, this requirement was not too much.
Help publicity, help financing in the future, if you become a shareholder, it is what Fan Liancheng should do, just like the Jingdong e-commerce platform, it has recently been renamed Jingdong Mall, the home appliance sales business is on fire, and the expansion speed is rapid, so fast that Fan Liancheng is surprised.
This money is not much, it can be easily taken out, and the idea is also very good, if it is done, it should be a new outlet, and I have not heard of any company that has developed in this area.
It's right to think about it, Apple's mobile phone is not too famous, Android has just started, and mobile smart terminal products have not been popularized, so there are naturally not many people who will target this market.
Without saying a word, Fan Liancheng said directly:
"I'm forty-five percent.
Private investment of 25 million, Fan's venture capital fund also take 25 million, and when the turnover exceeds 100 million yuan, I will provide an interest-free loan, about 20 or 30 million, free of charge for the company for one year, future financing according to your suggestion, and do not interfere with the normal development of the business.
If you can sign up for a contract to start construction recently, I hope to start developing in this city. ”
I didn't expect it to be so smooth, only seven or eight minutes have passed since I entered the office, Wang Xing took out all the money from the house, and also took some money from the family, it can be said that the first two entrepreneurial failures stimulated him, and now he plans to fight against the water.
Fan Liancheng was decisive, and he was also easy to speak, and told: "As long as it is indicated in the contract that the company is under my control, then it will work." ”
"Yes, there seems to be any official start-up subsidy, I can help fight for it and see if I can get a free venue. I don't give up the decision-making power, but as long as you are the CEO and don't do anything that seriously harms the company's interests, I can delegate the decision-making power to you.
Don't worry, I'm usually busy, I wish you could manage the startup company by yourself, and I won't interfere much for no reason, now have a cup of coffee and continue to talk about the details of the startup?"
