Chapter 42: Pull out the radish and bring out the puree

Why not let the coal boss's money be invested in even higher hard research projects?

If He Zihang can't answer this question, then all the possibilities of wanting Huang He to enter the game will not be discussed.

He Zihang looked embarrassed, although he knew that the latter words might solve the problem, but offending people and hurting the other party's self-esteem was inevitable.

He took a deep breath: "Mr. Huang, you may not know much about the market in the venture capital circle. Although, the money in the world should be the same. But in fact, the resources behind the money are different. Over time, factions will also be formed, forming a chain of mutual contempt ......"

Huang He's face immediately changed, not frivolous anger, but a deep, non-angry and self-righteous color:

He said calmly: "What do you mean, that is, those of us who are mining, in the eyes of you high-tech industry people, are all old and coarse?

"No, no, no, Mr. Huang, I definitely don't mean this - in my eyes, that's the man who points out the country, but I'm not telling you the unspoken rules of the industry. You dissipate your anger and listen to me tell the story of the circle of Oceania first, about Selenium Valley, okay?"

He Zihang felt that his nerves had been tensed to the limit, and he didn't dare to say a word wrong.

Maybe it's the lofty words of "Oceania" and "Selenium Valley" that make the vulgar Huang He willing to spend some patience to listen, after all, in his simple three views, the more he understands foreigners, and a little bit of foreign atmosphere, he can wash away a few points of his vulgarity.

Seeing that he had no objection, He Zihang also narrated the prepared case: "In the western part of the Oceania, in the state of Gagalle, in the Selenium Valley of Shengjin Mountain, there is a company called JET-BONE, which has recently closed down.

However, since the beginning of this wave of Internet and biotechnology boom, people have been a dominant company, and they have also financed more than a dozen rounds, and they have always been leaders in the subdivided field. The reason why people didn't succeed in the end is also because the technology of the entire track is still immature, and the entrepreneurs can't be blamed.

Two years ago, when the company was strapped for cash, other previous investors felt that their profits were far away, and they wanted to lower the price and refused to give money. JET-BONE FELL ILL IN DESPERATION AND TOOK SOME OIL MONEY FROM PRINCE HUSSEIN, WHO WAS IN AN UNKNOWN SMALL COUNTRY.

Then, this company was despised by the entire circle of Selenium Valley, and everyone agreed that if a technology company took Hussein oil money, which was stupid and had a lot of money, it meant that his PPT and technical solutions could no longer deceive well-known people, so there was only oil money.

Since then, the company has gone to others for financing, and its valuation has been cut by at least half compared to the original, and no one wants to play with it anymore, and it collapsed in less than two years. ”

(Note: This is a real case on Earth.) οΌ‰

Taking the money of the oil prince and the coal boss, for the technology company, is equivalent to admitting to the society: I can't fool other investors who know a little bit about technology, so only the coal boss and the oil prince who are completely novice will fall for the trick.

This will bring irreversible permanent damage to the company's technical content, image and goodwill.

Outsiders may not understand this unspoken rule, but in Selenium Valley, and even in the science and technology industry of other Eastern countries that learn values from Selenium Valley, this is an unspoken rule, a glass ceiling that cannot be broken through.

From this point of view, we have to admit that whether it is the Americans on the earth or the Oceanians on the Blue Hole Star, the ideological output is very successful.

Coal money and oil money are cheap money.

Huang He had never heard of such a thing.

But He Zihang showed him a lot of prepared evidence, all of which were true.

Then, He Zihang took advantage of Huang He's shaking inferiority complex and waited for an opportunity to persuade: "Mr. Huang, don't feel sad. After all, the world is rich and the master, you give us the Fengyun Fund trusteeship, and you don't have to use your current company signboard?

Cross-circle investment is a matter of being born and cooked twice. This time, you will first invest in a shared project with a new economic content and blend into this circle. Next time, if there is a project as tall and technical as a cesium atomic clock, won't I be able to introduce you to join the project? ”

Of course, Huang He will not be persuaded so easily.

Therefore, even when it comes to this part, He Zihang still racked his lips and tongue in the follow-up, and said a few roundabout words tactfully before persuading the other party.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You must believe me, we really had an accident this time, and our own funds had to be withdrawn, and they were not enough. You helped us this time and laundered out the money, and I am afraid that next time we will not help you, I will think of you first? I also want to pull stable hosting customers, you are such a high-quality customer, I will not serve you well?"

Huang He drank a glass of Wuliangye, then took two more cups of beer, filled them with Wuliangye again, and finally relieved: "Cheers, I believe you this time." But Xiao He, what kind of temper am I, ugly words are ahead, if you dare to say half a lie, I can't spare you. ”

Huang He is a typical coal boss style, and before doing business, he inquired about what unit and school He Zihang's family worked in and what school they studied.

As for contracts and legal ...... That's not very important.

Only an agreement with the government is important.

Between other business partners, if something happens, Huang He never takes the usual way to solve it.

……

After drinking two bottles of Wuliangye, saying a few good things, and being frightened for a long time, He Zihang finally got Huang He's letter of intent for custody investment.

Xie Daqiang's project, when he looked for Fengyun Fund to invest in May, only achieved a valuation of about 100 million yuan. Fengyun Fund entered the market with a cash flow of one or two million, and took 20% of the equity.

Originally, the cake painted for Huang He was that when the next round of funds was needed by the end of the year, the post-investment valuation could be 3.5 billion. But now that it's a 20% discount, it's 2.8 billion. In the end, Huang He paid 70 million, accounting for 25% of the shares.

Part of this is an additional issuance, and some of it is Huang He's redemption of the funds that went in the last round of Fengyun Fund.

A project that is purely drumming and passing flowers, just because it has rubbed on the ridiculous track of the "sharing economy" and has achieved the first place in the country, it can easily be valued at more than 100 million, or even hundreds of millions, and this kind of madness is no one.

Although the matter was temporarily resolved, He Zihang didn't know that this was just a time bomb.

Early the next morning, he cheered up and reported all this to his boss Wang Jingming.

Wang Jingming was very satisfied and happily praised He Zihang.

"Xiao He, good performance. I'll open the skylight and talk to you too. Originally, Zhou Xuan could discern the pearls and get such a high-quality scientific research project for the company, and he could still have a future, I think he has a future than you.

However, your performance in the past few days has once again changed my mind. I think you are more suitable to take over the position that Mr. Xu left after he left. ”

He Zihang listened to the boss's official wish, but he didn't laugh out loud, but felt a little bitter.

A few days later, Huang He's first funds began to be delivered, and Xie Daqiang's side also continued to cooperate with the swollen face and fat man, and the specific details do not need to be repeated.

All this naturally fell in Zhou Xuan's eyes.

For the sake of Boss Wang and the company's interests, of course Zhou Xuan will not directly and personally disrupt the situation. But he can at least reveal every step of the way to his cousin.

He fully believed that as long as the Fengyun Fund's own funds were withdrawn, Boss Wang would let his guard down.

After that, if there is any new dispute between He Zihang and Huang He, it will not be the boss's business.

To put it mildly, even if He Zihang died, the boss would not carefully check whether Zhou Xuan was leaking the news.

The guy who is used by the boss as a tool man must have the consciousness of a tool man.

……

With his cousin as an intelligence source, Gu Wan naturally knew what to do.

After watching for a few days, he confirmed that Fengyun Fund's own funds began to ship, so he called Ma Xiyuan.

"Sister Ma, didn't you keep saying last time that you would arrange for me to be a guest on the "Science Today" program, and it took a lot of favors, so if you want to return your three science and education headlines, it will be considered two clear. I'm a little bit of a fan now, so I'll have time to have a meal together. ”

"Okay, you are developed now, I heard that the 200,000 outstanding freshman scholarship of the Central University of Science and Technology has been issued to you. This time I'm in for a treat. Ma Xiyuan teased cheekily.

"No problem, I can still afford to have a meal and a cup of coffee. Gu Yu easily agreed.

Ma Xiyuan casually chose the time and place: "Then let's get off work at half past five tomorrow, I won't lie to you, see you at the angel ice king by the West Lake." ”

That place is very familiar, so you don't need to remember the address. In Ark City in 98, there are not many high-end luxury consumption places, so invite girls to have afternoon tea or something, HΓ€agen-Dazs or Angel Ice King is pretty good.

The next afternoon, he went a little earlier and dressed casually.

Ma Xiyuan has to get off work on time, so naturally it is impossible to come early. Gu didn't have much chance to indulge in ice cream during this time, so after sitting for a few minutes, he couldn't help but be greedy.

He called the waiter to order two ice cream sets, saying that he would serve one first, and the other would be served when the other guests arrived, so as not to melt in advance.

After his share came up, Gu Yu ate it very unvividly.

After solving half of the banana boat, Gu Yu heard the sound of flat-heeled leather shoes from far and near, and there was a slight fragrant breeze. But when I smell it, it's not the kind of Burberry that Ma Xiyuan is familiar with NV style, but the kind that is very elegant and pure.

Gu Yu subconsciously raised his head, and saw a girl who was obviously much younger than Ma Xiyuan, but with somewhat similar eyebrows, standing in front of him.

"Gu play, Gu classmates, right? My name is Ma Yiyi, and Ma Xiyuan is my sister. My sister asked me to take this opportunity to talk together today, get to know each other, and we will be classmates in the future. ”

"How do you know me, have you also enrolled in the physics department?" Gu Yu asked subconsciously.

He also knew that Ma Yiyi was the fourth place in the Donghai Prefecture Science College Entrance Examination this year, and the second among those who applied for the Central University of Science and Technology.

However, Gu Yu had never seen each other, so he couldn't recognize his face.

Ma Yiyi was also slightly angry when she looked at Gu and played such a straight man, and felt a little funny: "You still need to recognize this, you have been on TV." If you don't report to the physics department, you can't be considered a classmate? You are a high school, so I say alumni, you can't count yourself as a high climber. ”

"That's not what I meant, welcome, do it. I'm not, I thought I was talking to your sister about breaking the news today. Gu joked, then snapped his fingers and asked the waiter to quickly put another ice cream set on the table and order another one.

Ma Yiyi: "I'm looking for you to break the news, let's just not bother the two masters." I see that you are also a cheerful person, in fact, I like to talk to cheerful people. ”
