Chapter 219: Losing People Don't Lose Battle
Red Mountain Capital of the United States, and Zheng Hua, a smart person who has stayed in the United States, set up a venture capital company "Red Mountain Capital Huaxia Fund" as early as the second half of 05, and came to Fan Liancheng last year because of lack of money, trying to get a financing from him.
To some extent, this venture capital company is similar to the new joint venture company "Liancheng Goldman Sachs" jointly established by Fan Liancheng and Goldman Sachs Asia, with internationally renowned giants as backers, but now the big tree behind Fan Liancheng is thicker.
Looking at the world, when it comes to financial giants, you can skip Redhill Capital, but you can't skip the influence of Goldman Sachs.
The situation has long changed, Fan Liancheng now not only has his own FANS venture capital, that is, the one that invested in the Jingdong e-commerce platform, and the Liancheng Goldman Sachs Internet Fund established in cooperation with Goldman Sachs is also about to officially land, just sit down and sign the contract, and then each put the money into the account.
So today, when he was approached by Boss Zheng again, Fan Liancheng didn't care too much, and he still had the heart to joke and say: "My money has doubled in the stock market, and the conditions on your side are still the same?" Mr. Zheng, this is not good." ”
Hearing this, Zheng Hua felt depressed in his heart, thinking that he hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the young man with a huge amount of money on the other side seemed to be more vigorous.
It's a pity that there is no way, I refused Fan Liancheng's financing at the beginning, and now I have come to the door again, which is equivalent to throwing my face to the ground and stepping on it.
In addition, Hongshan Huaxia has no outstanding achievements, Fan Liancheng's FANS venture capital financing Jingdong, this business has achieved outstanding achievements, in the case of a large increase in the amount of investment, desperately burning money to expand the user group, both the order volume and the transaction amount have doubled, and then take out the financing is not the price of Fan Liancheng's investment, this matter is known to almost everyone in the small circle of venture capital.
Who made Fan Liancheng have a lot of money, and when he met a small e-commerce company, he dared to throw 40 million US dollars into it.
Dry venture capital, no money is not good.
If you can't find a brilliant achievement that can attract investors, no one is willing to obediently follow the venture capital company to invest money to buy funds, and no one brings money over, so there is no way to take the money out to invest, and it is even less attractive for investors to invest in the venture capital company itself.
After the global financial crisis, most of the start-up Internet companies invested in have "died", and the rest are waiting to be fed, and they are in urgent need of funds to tide over the difficulties and expand the number of users.
For Internet companies, users are equal to money, the initial crazy expansion of the user group, whether to make money and make a profit has become a secondary problem, just like now Jingdong in Fan Liancheng support to do, recently spent a full 20 million yuan to Tengxun advertising, trying to attract some new users to use Jingdong's trading platform, the effect is remarkable.
The two met on the banks of the Huangpu River, behind them were two shops that Fan Liancheng had bought, filled with desks and employees busy.
Boss Zheng said in a melancholy tone, and told: "Isn't this the general environment, I invested too much before, I spent more than I earned, and it was difficult to balance income and expenditure." In addition, now when I go abroad to raise funds, investors don't buy it, and the cold wind comes to tighten my pockets one by one, and I just got 15 million US dollars from Redmountain Capital in the United States in March, for which I lost some shares. ”
"If you don't get in or out, you can't do it, you have fewer shares, and if you continue like this, it's not a joint venture, it's equivalent to you working for those Americans." ”
Fan Liancheng said this, it seemed to be a little schadenfreude, judging from the situation between each other, whether to help him or not, it was okay to vote or not, he definitely had the upper hand, and he naturally had no fear when he spoke.
Then he added: "I know that I can't sell shares anymore to continue to hold on, so find me as an outsider, right, just on the phone you said on the phone that according to the offer at the last time we met, I will invest 30 million US dollars to give me 20% of the shares?
"This time it's different, they also know that I won't give in again, and finally become a pitiful wage earner with a small shareholding, this time they offered to let me seek a financier, as long as you nod now, I will take the contract and sign it tomorrow. ”
Boss Zheng is in his early forties, every time he sees Fan Liancheng, he feels unbalanced, the word "contentment" is easier said than done, at this time, he always feels that he is a little low, and hurriedly coughs dryly, straightens his waist, which is called losing people and not losing battles.
“....... How fast the development of Internet companies is, one day at a time, you at least bring some information, let me see the status of assets first. ”
Last time, Fan Liancheng valued the perfect channels of Hongshan Capital during its overseas listing and financing, and now there is no shortage of these things, and he is ready to finance it purely from the value of Hongshan Huaxia.
In the past six months, there have been hundreds of entrepreneurs seeking funds from Fan Liancheng, and there are more people who send emails, calls, and letters, and there are not many people who can really be eyed by him.
Compared with the initial creation of small and micro Internet enterprises, Fan Liancheng prefers to pay attention to those start-ups that have initially become a climate, but it is a pity that the other party's quotation is often too high, or it is someone who is the first to get on the road, contact the five companies, and there may be only one that can be successful, and more is just asked, the other party turned his head and took this opportunity to go to other places to make more offers, saying that he Fan Liancheng took a fancy to it.
Not to mention, the effect is pretty good.
......
I interviewed Boss Zheng for more than half an hour, but I didn't give an accurate answer for the time being.
When Fan Liancheng returned to his desk, a little secretary had already helped make coffee, and his mouth was cold and fragrant.
beckoned to call Du Lin's assistant, Fan Liancheng handed over the documents given to him by Boss Zheng, and instructed: "Check these companies they have invested in, see what the total value is, and give me a result as soon as possible." There is also to continue to ask, to see when Banyan Tree One can get a certificate for sale, Building 1 is going to be renovated, and there is still no result, and I don't see what the property market is cold into, and what housing prices are suppressed...... Forget it, I went to ask in person, when I didn't say. ”
Assistant Du Lin nodded and said with a smile: "I also think it's better for you to ask in person, boss, your face is greater......
