From the second day, Zhou Dedao found professional angel investors to introduce his business plan, and often signed up for various entrepreneurship competitions, participating once or twice a month.

However, when I talked to professional angel investors, especially when I participated in the startup competition for the first time, the business plan that I thought had done very well was criticized by the professional angel investors and the judges of the competition as worthless.

For this reason, Zhou Dedao felt very indignant, and scolded them for not knowing the goods, all of them had no beads, and they all had eyes that did not know Mount Tai.

Zhou Dedao was depressed for a long time, Xu Xincheng patiently chatted with him twice, and then he gradually calmed down, began to reflect, and continued to talk to angel investors, and continued to participate in various entrepreneurial competitions.

Since participating in the first competition, Xu Xincheng will rush over every time, cheer him on before the game, analyze and summarize the gains and losses for him after the game, and put forward suggestions and suggestions for him to improve. He himself has gained a lot of knowledge, learned a lot, and grown a lot because of his participation in these entrepreneurship competitions.

In a municipal entrepreneurship competition that he participated in, the judges once again pointed out many problems in the business plan, and at this time, Zhou Dedao began to really listen to their opinions and suggestions, and began to reflect deeply.

At this time, he woke up to the fact that his business plan was indeed very ordinary, the business model was not new, there was no innovation, there were many loopholes, and he found that his knowledge and experience in management, finance, human resources and other aspects were seriously insufficient. Xu Xincheng suggested that he buy relevant books to read, and sign up for some professional training, both online and offline.

To this end, Zhou Dedao took out his determination and perseverance when he was preparing for the college entrance examination in the third year of high school, insisted on studying every day, insisted on charging every day, and went all out every day.

At the same time, they iterate their business plans once or twice a month, and when they participate in the startup competition, they always listen to the judges' comments very humbly and ask them for advice very sincerely.

Finally, the hard work paid off, and when he participated in the entrepreneurship competition for the eighth time, in a city-level entrepreneurship competition, Zhou Dedao finally squeezed into the top ten and won the seventh place.

Since then, he has continued to work harder and braver, his business plan has become more and more impressive, and his personal performance in the competition has become more and more remarkable, and he has finally transformed into a qualified entrepreneur.

In the process of more than a year of preparation, Zhou Dedao got to know many elites in the circle, he persuaded three of them to become his partners, and also said that he moved two friends for many years to join. These five people, all about 30 years old, have their own specialties and successful experience in management, finance, technology, marketing, marketing and other aspects.

Although Zhou Dedao is the youngest, he is a natural genius in communication and communication, plus he is the initiator, the first founder, and the majority of the invested funds, he naturally became the leader of the entrepreneurial team and the first leader of the company.

In the end, when participating in the 10th entrepreneurship competition, he deservedly won the runner-up, won a start-up bonus of 100,000 yuan, and won the favor of a professional angel investor surnamed Liao. Mr. Liao had three in-depth exchanges with him privately, and finally, he decided to invest 2 million.

The 100,000 bonus and 2 million investment are really not a big amount compared to his father's 5 million, but Zhou Dedao was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night, he sent a WeChat message to Xu Xincheng at five o'clock in the morning, the content was: "The 100,000 and 2 million are the greatest affirmation of me, the greatest affirmation of all my efforts and struggles for more than a year, the greatest affirmation of my business plan, and the clarion call for my career journey, which is loud and exciting." It's time to go!"

The next day, Zhou Dedao made an appointment with his father, came to his company, and in the company's conference room, in the form of a professional roadshow, he treated his father as a potential investor and introduced his latest business plan.

His father was so excited that he burst into tears. He said he was thrilled by the amazing progress that Zhou Dedao had made in more than a year, and it was tears of emotion. He even said that he would fully support his entrepreneurial plan.

At this time, Zhou Dedao was much more mature and stable than before, and after discussion, he borrowed 5 million from his father in the form of a loan, and solemnly signed a loan agreement.

On the third day, Zhou Dedao launched crowdfunding in his circle of friends, and soon raised 2 million.

After negotiation, two of the five partners have relatively average economic conditions, they only contribute to others, and the other three have a certain economic strength, in addition to contributing to others, they also invested 500,000 yuan each.

In this way, Zhou Dedao raised a total of 10.6 million, and the start-up core team was also established, and everything is ready to start.

In fact, the first person Zhou Dedao sincerely invited to join was Xu Xincheng.

Xu Xincheng said that he had no capital, and Zhou Dedao said that his outstanding character and talent were capital, and that for more than a year, without his support, if he had not been a big think tank and a big consultant, he would not have been able to get to this point today, as long as he was willing to join, he would have given him 3% of the shares and served as the company's deputy general manager, and the position was only under him.

Xu Xincheng thought twice, but in the end he did not agree, he said that the work he is currently engaged in is where his ambition lies.

Zhou Dedao increased the proportion of shares to 5% and increased the salary level, but it still did not impress him.

Zhou Dedao pleaded again and again. In order not to disappoint his good friend and brother, Xu Xincheng proposed a compromise plan, promising to be his personal advisor, and when needed and within his ability, he would give advice to the company.

In the end, Zhou Dedao also figured out that he really couldn't let his good brother give up his ideals and give up the career he loved because of himself, so he suddenly accepted this plan.

In order to thank Xu Xincheng for his strong support for more than a year, thank him for his countless good opinions and suggestions, and thank him for his big adviser and counselor, Zhou Dedao unconditionally distributed 2% of the company's shares, and the 2% of the shares only dividends, if the company has a loss, it does not bear the responsibility for the loss, and if the company needs to inject additional capital, it does not bear the responsibility of proportional capital injection.
