Chapter 599: It's actually an alumnus
Lin Qiang also had an understanding of venture capital before, but it was really not in-depth, and the industry he was engaged in before had nothing to do with these venture capitals, and the impression in his mind was that of a group of rich guys, with the help of capital, attacking everywhere, like barbarians, frantically plundering the equity of those promising start-ups. Therefore, when he established Gaoqiao Technology Company, he prepared a huge amount of money in advance, and did not want to give these so-called investors the opportunity to come in and share their shares.
Through a short conversation with the other party, Lin Qiang began to realize that his understanding of these VC people was very skewed. He had always thought that these people were naked and engaged in equity plundering with the advantage of capital, but he didn't expect their industry knowledge to be so professional and their insights were very profound.
"I don't hide that this project is a project that I have been planning for a long time, and we have enough resources in this industry, including home improvement designer resources, decoration company resources and product supply resources, so I am very confident in this project, and I am even ready to invest several times the amount of money to strive to make a name for myself. Lin Qiang introduced the online decoration alliance under the name of the tide brand company, the overall home improvement experience hall, the original personalized home improvement process of the new brand real estate company and the background wall products of the fashion brand company, etc., emphasizing that many companies under his name are engaged in industries closely related to the home improvement industry, and there are incomparable resources for others in the home improvement industry in Guangdong, which is also the confidence that he dares to invest a lot of money to establish the tide brand home improvement network.
"Thank you Mr. Xu for the reminder, I have already considered the risks clearly, and I have set a stop-loss bottom line for myself. I have partners in several other firms, and it is precisely because of the risk of this project that I decided to try it myself, and I don't want other partners to accompany me on the adventure. Lin Qiang said.
"I have no doubt that Mr. Lin has such financial strength, but just now our manager Zhao also said that only when a platform is truly the first in the industry will there be more profit models to choose from. Therefore, we believe that the first task of the tide brand decoration network is to expand its territory as soon as possible, take the lead in occupying other cities, and at the same time increase the intensity of subsidies, and strive to attract more customers in the shortest possible time. Mr. Sun once briefly introduced to me Mr. Lin's next development plan, and I personally think that Mr. Lin's idea is very correct and forward-looking, but I still think that Mr. Lin's plan is too conservative and the steps are far from big. Xu Chengfu said.
"What does Mr. Xu mean, how can it not be conservative?" Lin Qiang asked quietly.
"However, our project not only needs financial support, but also needs the support of relevant resources and a professional team. At present, our main resources are concentrated in the three cities of Guangzhou, Yangzhou and Fengcheng, and if we want to open up markets outside the province, the existing resources will not be able to be utilized. Lin Qiang said.
As a senior investor in the VC industry, Xu Chengfu has met with many company founders, and is deeply familiar with the way of talking to these entrepreneurs, although the Lin Qiang in front of him is obviously different from ordinary company founders, but Xu Chengfu believes that the conditions he has offered must also have a great attraction to Lin Qiang. It's just that the purpose of his rush to come over to meet Lin Qiang today is just to establish contact with Lin Qiang and other venture capital companies first, and the first meeting is not the right time to talk about specific financing conditions, and he himself has not figured out the relationship between Sun Dan and Lin Qiang, and some words should not be said first, so as not to have room for maneuver in the future.
Lin Qiang originally wanted to take Xu Chengfu and them to the first village of educated youth, but Xu Chengfu repeatedly emphasized that he really wanted to rush back to Shenzhen immediately, so Lin Qiang asked for a private room at the Chaoshan beef hot pot restaurant outside the gate of the Chaopai headquarters, and after dinner together, Zhao Lianbao stayed by himself, and Xu Chengfu rushed back to Shenzhen with others overnight.
This is naturally unbelievable for Zhao Lianbao, the purpose of his stay is to find an opportunity to communicate more with the person in charge of the company, so he is no longer polite and gets into Lin Qiang's car.
Lin Qiang affirmed her on the phone, and said with a smile that their manager Zhao was following him inch by inch, and he would follow him home tonight.
Lin Qiang said with a smile that if she really wanted to come, he would take her to Yangzhou to visit the restructured hot spring resort and overseas Chinese farm.
After Lin Qiang received the phone, he said to Zhao Lianbao with a smile: "Your Director Sun personally called and asked me not to contact other VC people, are you Everbright Fund really so optimistic about our small website?"
"Manager Zhao speaks pure Beijing Mandarin, he should be a native of old Beijing, right?" asked Lin Qiang with a smile.
Lin Qiang smiled: "Speaking of which, I should also be half a Beijinger, and my current ID number still starts with 110." Twenty years ago, I went to university in Beijing for four years. ”
"The school I studied before was called Beijing Institute of Light Industry, and now it is called Beijing Technology and Business University.
It's really a coincidence that there is no book, and everyone didn't expect that the two of them were still alumni. The second year after Zhao Lianbao graduated, the two schools merged to form the current Beijing Technology and Business University, but unfortunately, Lin Qiang has not returned to his alma mater for more than 15 years, and more than a year is the twentieth anniversary of his graduation from university.
