Chapter 341: Forum
Hundreds of guests from all over the country, including officials in Internet-related fields, industry experts, business leaders, etc., gathered high-level people.
At the beginning of this new year, we summarize the development experience and achievements of Internet enterprises, and try to jointly look forward to the future trends and prospects of the industry.
As an invited guest who came to the stage to express his views, Fan Liancheng was persuaded by his subordinates to participate.
They told him to show his face more, it would be easier to engage in venture capital in the future, and he could take the initiative, if it weren't for the face of several of his executives, Fan Liancheng really wouldn't agree to sit on the stage, and his every move was stared at by the audience and reporters, and he didn't feel comfortable.
If he had a choice, he would rather sit in the audience, be in a daze, play with his phone, and meet some new friends he wanted to make.
It is risky to appear on stage, and I am most afraid of saying the wrong sentence and misinterpreting the meaning after being grabbed by someone, so when Fan Liancheng took a seat, he quietly played the spirit of twelve points.
Putting aside the ability of the two so-called editors-in-chief for the time being, anyway, Fan Liancheng has dealt with Boss Niu and Boss Ma several times, and he is still a shareholder of two companies.
Looking at Alibaba, Fan Liancheng actually had the opportunity to invest a few years ago, but he felt that the scale was large and the upside potential was limited, and he didn't expect the Internet mobile terminal to develop so rapidly and missed some good opportunities.
However, judging from Alibaba's B2B business alone, since it was listed in Hong Kong City, it is now about to fall back to the issue price, which is equivalent to getting a lot of money from investors for development in vain from the listing to the present, and it is still interest-free.
Fan Liancheng has been fortunate several times, fortunately he invested in Tencent, not the B2B business spun off by Alibaba Group, from the perspective of investment, not making money is equivalent to a loss, but just looking at the treasure network, it can be said that the development speed in recent years has exceeded his imagination.
Sitting on the stage, I swept over at a glance and saw many familiar faces under the stage.
Fan Liancheng sat on the stage, no one would think that he was not qualified, after all, it was a society that looked at strength and spoke, regardless of whether it was a rich second generation or not, it was true that he was rich.
It is no exaggeration to say that some of the shares of at least 30 entrepreneurs present are directly or indirectly controlled by Fan Liancheng, and the venture capital fund department of Fans Holdings operates independently, and some investors Fan Liancheng himself does not care much, especially small and medium-sized enterprises with a venture capital quota of less than 50 million yuan, and the review is handed over to the risk control department.
In the first two years, Fan Liancheng was serious, but later found that there was no one Internet company that could really grow, and he let it go over time.
Nowadays, many entrepreneurs know that it is difficult to see Fan Liancheng in the early stage, but as long as they start to be noticed by Fan Liancheng and enter his eyes, it means that follow-up investment is almost no need to worry, such as the Meituan, which is gradually becoming popular, and Boss Niu's Jingdong Mall.
The topic of the open forum is mainly to look forward to new outlets and new opportunities, with a moderator responsible for guiding the topic, which has been clearly introduced in the background, and is mainly played by themselves.
......
It didn't take long for the conversation to begin.
Soon after Boss Niu spoke, the topic came to Fan Liancheng, he said: "The current Internet companies, one is a lack of people, the other is a lack of funds, the former needs time to slowly cultivate, slowly accumulate, the latter is actually relatively abundant, but the country has not yet developed a perfect Internet investment atmosphere."
Take Fan Liancheng and Xiao Fan as an example, if I remember correctly, he should be the founder of the largest venture capital institution in China. In the past, people used computers to access the Internet, but now many people use mobile phones to access the Internet, and there will be more and more smartphone users in the future, which will bring new challenges to us entrepreneurs. ”
The boss of the horse, who loves to talk very much, saw the opportunity to interject and said:
"I also think so, it's not that our company doesn't want to take investment from China, but we can go to the bank for a loan, and the bank says that we have no profits, no assets to use as collateral, and we can't get enough money from the society for development.
Rich people in China like to buy houses and cars, and they don't invest in us even if they deposit them in the bank, and every time they look for investment, they are regarded as scammers, but after growing up, some people are asking, why do domestic companies become more foreigners? There is a saying that if you plant melons, you will get melons, and if you plant beans, you will get beans, and if you don't plant, of course you will have nothing.
Look at Mr. Xiao Fan, I have communicated with him a few times, the idea is indeed very advanced, very open, originally I was a competitor can not get up, by his support, take the money to smash into the current scale, from which you can see that there is a vision to seize the opportunity, how much return can investment in Internet companies bring, far more than bank interest.
In particular, this kind of social and technological changes at the outlet, individuals and enterprises should pay more attention to Internet companies, everything in the future is related to the Internet, high-tech, can not hold the old concept to look at investment, I dare to guarantee that Xiao Fan will be the richest person in China for a long time in the future, because he invested in Apple, Facebook, and also laid out many enterprises in the mainland, and the future is the engine of economic growth......"
Fan Liancheng knew that he had a powerful mouth before, but now when he saw that he said a long paragraph, he didn't need to breathe, picked up the microphone and said with a smile: "Actually, I also want to invest in Dibao, but it's a pity that you haven't raised money for a long time and haven't given me a chance.
Regarding the lack of funds, I want to explain that many people actually have the intention to invest, but they don't know how to invest, looking at the scale of several Internet-based funds under my hands, we know that investors hope to use me and my team to seize new opportunities, and in all fairness, I did not disappoint them. Similar professional fund platforms should be more focused on doing big things, otherwise more and more good companies will be taken advantage of by foreign capital.
The characteristics of Internet companies determine that it is difficult to make money in the early stage, and if you don't make money, you can't get investment, this cycle needs to be broken, from the perspective of angel investors, I also want to persuade many entrepreneurs to be pragmatic, not a few users dare to open a high price, after investing in so many companies, I just want to say that you think your company is good, just like your mother is not ugly, not necessarily really good, there is a lack of certain standards in this regard, many companies are tossing themselves to death, in fact, there are more good seedlings. ”
Fan Liancheng spoke, no one interrupted him, and the relationship between Boss Ma and Boss Niu was a bit like an open and secret fight.
The one who has a lot of money is the uncle, and the two editors-in-chief can't interject, but the host helps the round, and after taking the initiative to ask questions, one of them gets the opportunity to express his views, expounds on the impact caused by entering the mobile Internet era, and persuades many first-generation Internet companies to reform as soon as possible......
