29. There will be no money soon

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the number of WeChat registration officially exceeded the 10 million mark, and it was launched at ten o'clock yesterday morning, only 29 hours from now.

This news made the whole company excited.

Yesterday 14 hours, the number of registered users exceeded 5 million, and in 15 hours today, the number of registered users increased by 5 million, of which 6 hours were still in the middle of the night, and only 1 million increased during this time.

Lin Xiaoguang was also very excited, because the long-lost electronic synthesis sound sounded again.

[Congratulations to the host, the project has reached the third stage, the product is online, the registration data is off to a good start, and the reward A round of investment is obtained, IDJ Capital, which invests 100 million US dollars and obtains 5% equity.] 】

Yes, yes, this is valued at $2 billion, and with this $100 million, you can continue to burn money.

It's just in time, there's not much money on the books.

When he was excited, the experts sent by the Huawei Cloud Jiangcheng team arrived, and Lin Xiaoguang met with him.

Back in the office, he asked Qiao Ziran to release the news to further arouse the attention of public opinion, and then Liao Changqing from the marketing department came in and reported: "Great Sage, the promotion budget of 60 million, 48 million has already gone out, and there are 12 million left. ”

After two hours, if you don't add a new budget, you will have to default on WeChat?

Said that the sharing registration was successful and 5 yuan per person, and there was no money to cash in WeChat?

"How much money has been raised for crowdfunding startups?"

"9 million, after the news was sent out this morning, the traffic soared, the crowdfunding increased rapidly, and if nothing else, before getting off work in the afternoon, it could exceed 10 million. ”

"This money, plus 11 million community chest, should only be spent a little, and it should be embezzled first. ”

"Great Sage!" Liao Changqing was in a hurry, demolishing the east wall to make up the west wall, the former can still be borrowed, and if the latter embezzles, how can he return it later?

Lin Xiaoguang waved his hand and explained to him: "IDJ Capital, which invested in the seed round, has been on the phone with me, they are very satisfied with the data of our product launch, and they are ready to start a round of financing, with hundreds of millions of dollars in financing, and we have money, so you can rest assured." ”

After hearing this, Liao Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, the battle of burning money, what he was most afraid of was that the silver would bottom out.

"With these 30 million, it should be able to sustain itself until the evening. ”

It is estimated that Graf will arrive around noon tomorrow, this 30 million is not enough, at least 30 million, in order to last until noon tomorrow, after thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and called Sheng Lan, the dean of the Outer Courtyard of Jiang University of Science and Technology.

It quickly connected: "Hey?"

"Hello Dean, I'm Lin Xiaoguang, I'm sorry. ”

"Xiaoguang, I haven't congratulated you yet, today's product is on the line, it's off to a good start!" Sheng Lan smiled heartily, which showed that she was in a very good mood.

Lin Xiaoguang smiled shyly: "The online effect is indeed a bit unexpected, but it is precisely in this way that the budget for promotion will bottom out in the evening, and the A round of venture capital will come over at noon tomorrow, during this time, it is estimated that there will be 30 million funds to press, and I am so anxious that my eyebrows are burned." ”

When Sheng Lan heard this, she immediately smiled.

Anyway, he was a smart person, how could she not know what he meant, and smiled: "Okay, okay, then you come here, I will make an appointment with someone from the Longhu branch of Jiangcheng Bank to meet, and I will send you a text message at the address." ”

"Okay, thank you, Dean. ”

Hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaoguang breathed a sigh of relief, there was hope for the loan.

Then, he packed his things, went downstairs, drove the company's Mercedes-Benz official car, and went directly to Jiangxi University of Science and Technology.

On the way, he received a text message from Sheng Lan, and immediately rushed to the meeting place.

In a short time, he arrived at his destination, a relatively private tea restaurant, and after entering, he reported the name of the box, and then he was taken to the door of the box by the waiter, knocked on the door, and got permission to go in, only to see two women inside.

One is Sheng Lan, and the other is more eye-catching, but they all look about 35 years old.

It's very young.

Today's Sheng Lan is wearing a white lady's suit, with long hair scattered, and the other is wearing a black lady's suit, with her hair pulled up, her makeup exquisite, and a capable temperament comes to her face.

"There is no traffic jam on the road, right?" Sheng Lan smiled at him, and then introduced: "This is the vice president of the Longhu branch of Jiangcheng Bank, Zhai Hong, my college classmate. ”

He hurriedly stepped forward and said hello: "Hello President Zhai, I'm Lin Xiaoguang." ”

Sheng Lan is the dean of the outer courtyard of Jiang University of Science and Technology, and Zhai Hong, as the vice president of the second-level branch of the city commercial bank, is in charge of the Jiangcheng banking business in this district of Longhu.

It's so bad, it's young, less than 35, it's so powerful.

"No need to introduce, I know you, have you been in the limelight lately?" Zhai Hong smiled and stretched out his hand to shake him.

He smiled shyly: "Dean, President Zhai, I am actually a low-key person, there has been so much news recently, it is to cooperate with the company's publicity, after all, there is no news channel for Weixin at present, if you want to let Weixin have more exposure opportunities, I, the CEO, can't help but go into battle in person!"

Sheng Lan pursed her lips and smiled, and Zhai Hong was also happy.

Although Lin Xiaoguang has a request for people, he is not anxious, the Chinese are subtle, strangers who meet for the first time, the general topic is from shallow to deep, at this moment is no exception, no one mentioned the loan, just around the micro-message, casually chat.

He also pushed the boat along the river and told the two about the number of registered users breaking 10 million.

Sheng Lan's eyes were full of brilliance.

It was Zhai Hong, a bystander, who still maintained a unique calmness.

After a while, when he said that the loan was going to arrive tonight, Zhai Hong couldn't help but shake his head: "According to the procedure, for this kind of 30 million-level loan business, the lending department will conduct a one-day investigation and review of the loan company to check whether it has the ability to repay. ”

Lin Xiaoguang frowned: "According to that, you won't be able to get a loan today?"

"It's not impossible, if you can find a reputable guarantor, the money can come down in a few hours. ”

Well, in such a short period of time, where did he find the guarantor? And which guarantor did he know?

"President Zhai, is there any other way?"

"That's all there is to it. ”

After grinding, he still couldn't let go, Lin Xiaoguang was a little disappointed, so he found a reason and took the initiative to leave.

After going out and getting in the car, thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and called Han Xia directly.

After connecting, he didn't talk nonsense, and spoke directly: "Miss Han, there will be a round of venture capital at the door tomorrow afternoon at the latest, with an investment of 100 million US dollars, but the funds in the company's accounts can only be maintained until 0:00 in the morning tonight, I need 30 million, otherwise the company will go bankrupt." ”

In the afternoon, Han Xia was drinking afternoon tea, and the atmosphere was quiet and soothing.

Hearing that he asked for money as soon as he opened his mouth, and he opened his mouth to ask for 30 million, she couldn't help but be angry: "In such a short time, where can I go to find you 30 million?"

"If you don't have any money, then let's do it, I'll contact Jiangcheng Bank to prepare a loan, and it is estimated that I need a guarantor, can your family business guarantee me?"

has already refused once, Han Xia is not too embarrassed to refuse the second time, after all, Weixin also has her part.

"I'll help you ask, but don't have any hope, Tiannan Group is involved in the real industry, the valuation of Internet companies is too virtual, and the valuation of Weixin is even more virtual, unless Weixin has fixed assets. She sighed.

"Tomorrow's Series A financing, can't they rest assured? I won't run!"

Han Xia was a little annoyed: "You can't run, but who knows if the A round of financing can come over, once it doesn't arrive on time, Weixin won't be able to hold on, and it's a matter of a few days." ”

"Okay, then please......" Lin Xiaoguang sighed, it could only be like this.

Hung up the phone and returned to the company, the security experts of the 360 security Jiangcheng team arrived, and after a meeting, he returned to the office, and while waiting for Han Xia's news, he began to contact private lending.

People can't hang themselves from a tree, and hope can't be pinned on a person, you still have to find a way back.

Bao Dahai is a local in Jiangcheng, or a demolition household, he doesn't know loan sharks, his father always knows, so Lin Xiaoguang dialed his phone and called: "Dahai, I am in urgent need of a capital turnover now, only one day, 40 million is enough, you help me ask, see who can provide it!"

"Are you short of money to this extent?" Bao Dahai was a little surprised, seeing that the micro-news was menacing, who would have thought that there would be no money.

"Investors will arrive tomorrow, just more than ten hours, and the promotion activities cannot be stopped, otherwise the rising momentum of WeChat messages will be interrupted. Lin Xiaoguang is also a little tired, and when it comes to money, it is the most troublesome.

"Okay, I'll ask for you. Bao Dahai nodded directly.

"Big brother, our brother's friendship for a few years, whether I can achieve fame or not, little brother, depends on this time, please. "He played the emotional card.

"Don't worry, there shouldn't be a problem. ”

When the phone hung up, he often spit out a breath of turbidity, closed his eyes directly, and simply couldn't see it and was not upset.

Aike walked in with tea, and seeing that he didn't seem to be in a good mood, he gently put down the teacup, walked over quietly, walked to the back of the chair, stretched out the book, and massaged his temples.

The cold touch touched his skin, and he lifted his spirits slightly.

The company's financial situation, not to mention Weixin friends, is the Internet practitioners, just by virtue of the financing news on the Internet, you can see a rough idea, two rounds of financing totaling 77 million, how much money is spent now, can be roughly calculated, the company's employees are basically very clear about this.

Lin Xiaoguang went to raise money, many people saw it, and Aike was no exception.

Massaging his temples, it took him a while before he felt a little soothed and less nervous.

Just then, the phone rang.

He hurriedly picked it up: "Hey, Han Xia, have you got a result?"

The other side was silent for a while, and then said: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, Tiannan Group can't be your guarantor." ”

Lin Xiaoguang's heart sank, and it really didn't work, and he had to rely on private loans.

"I'm sorry, I disappointed you, I really tried to convince, but I was soft-spoken, and there was no position in the group, uncles and aunts wanted to give me this face, but I could only follow the rules. Han Xia's voice was a little low.

"I see. He was about to hang up.

"But is it okay to do it any other way? Inter-business bridge loans, and the interest rate is not high. ”
