Chapter 46: The Rivers and Lakes of Angels
After eating, I sent Su Yun home, and before getting out of the car, I encouraged me to relax tomorrow and contact me again if I had something.
This meeting was very impressive to the girl, knowing gratitude and reciprocation, and Johnson didn't mind helping again. The rest is up to her, hoping that the entertainment industry is as beautiful as a dream, that's all.
In the afternoon, the club swims, then massages, and then has nothing to do in the future to learn some fighting techniques with Xia Long. The sooner the health, the better, and one of the saddest things for people is:
Man died,
The money is gone!
Suddenly, I received a call from Lao Tan, saying that there was an investment circle banquet in the evening, the level was quite high, and almost everyone with a head and face would participate, and I hoped that Johnson would also come around.
Johnson agreed, after all, his main identity is an angel investor, and it is no harm to know more people in the circle. drove to the Sheraton VIP lounge, saw Lao Tan, and the two entered the venue.
"Domestic angel investors are really different from VC!" There were not many people at the venue, and Lao Tan looked around and had no acquaintances, so he pulled Johnson to find a place to sit down, drank and chatted: "Venture capital is divided into two categories: investment institutions and industrial capital. ”
"Investment institutions such as Sequoia Capital, Matrix Partners, GSR Ventures and other giants, from a variety of channels of financing, they strive to be prudent from the perspective of investment, the process is lengthy. From mutual contact, to investment, to the arrival of funds, there is no more than half a year that cannot be done at all. ”
"It's not uncommon for the project to be dragged to death before the money is even finalized. The financing process generally takes at least three to six months, and most of the time it takes a few weeks is bragging. ”
"Even if you are an acquaintance and friend who knows the roots, and has enough understanding and trust, in most cases it will take two months. It takes 30 days to negotiate, and the final signing of the documents can take up to 30 days, which is time-consuming and therefore extremely costly. ”
Johnson has checked Lao Tan's details, his family has a bit of a background, and the circle is more than enough than the top, barely a net worth of hundreds of millions, and has a few small projects in his hands.
Lao Tan has made up his mind to hold the diamond thigh in front of him, and it is rare for the other party to play investment, and spare no effort to show his self-worth: "Alibaba, Tencent, and Xiaomi are all industrial capital giants, the money is their own, and the strategy is more to use small money to play some uncertainties." ”
"So the process is relatively simple, Xiaomi's Lei Jun said: investment is not the end, but the means, through investment to build barriers, so that others can not easily enter, is also very valuable. ”
"Industrial capital is a giant, not simply to see whether a project has future opportunities, more to consider whether there is strategic synergy and layout significance, and even to consider hedging risks. ”
"As for angel investors, they are jokingly called 3F in the circle, that is, fools, friends, and in the end, they stay up for too long and become family members directly!"
After speaking, he pointed to the long legs of various warblers and swallows not far away, and joked: "If you want me to say that angel investment is like a date, you may chat a few times, take a ride, have a meal, and you can snap." ”
"Because the investment is relatively small, it may only be a shining point in the entrepreneur, such as long chest and thighs, articulate or something, tired of playing a few times, no longer contacting, and becoming the most familiar stranger. ”
"VC is like a lover, there are many people who fall in love with it, and they should usually go shopping, and they should buy bags and bags. She tries on a dress and asks you if it looks good, and you say turn around, huh...... Good looking!"
"The cost of support is high, and you can't get it without tens of millions, of course, she may not be more than your lover, and there may be several VC joint investments. You give Gucci, he buys LV, and the public lovers rush to ask for it. ”
"PE is like a pick-up, as a professional pick-up, the first thing to be aware of is to be high. When she is bothered by trivial matters, take her to a Michelin dinner. When her mind is vicissitudes, take her merry-go-round......"
"Change the law to coax the goddess to be happy, no regrets, because the project is large, and it costs tens of millions of dollars at every turn, so you can do it without a little thought?"
Johnson laughed, a little interesting, anything can be pulled on a woman. VC Needless to say, Vader must be the most professional, no matter how awesome he is, it is impossible to play alone, it is better to be an angel quietly.
"To put it bluntly, it's all fate, for entrepreneurs, finding investors is like looking for a partner, paying attention to the same three views and matching temperament. ”
Lao Tan saw that Zhuang Chen was happy, and continued: "The first time we met, the two sides were pleasing to the eye, and only by recognizing each other can we look forward to the future for a long time, right?"
"The tall international big-name funds are like Bai Fumei, who is not eager to go, but Bai Fumei has a high vision and strict conditions, and signs various priority rights and Jinglun terms with you before marriage, even if you divorce later, you will not enjoy any benefits. ”
"Besides, before getting married, Bai Fumei's suitors lined up from Xi'er Banner to Zhongguancun, and wanted the goddess to give you more attention and resources, I'm sorry, my sister doesn't have so much energy!"
"Unless you're really a handsome guy who exudes unicorn temperament, and you're not clingy to your big life, but that may be after the B or C rounds, stay up. ”
Snapping his fingers, he began to introduce: "There are only a dozen people in the circle, one of the troika of New Oriental in the early years, and now the founder of Zhen Fund, Xu Xiaoping." ”
"The teacher is from a background, eloquent, and has his own traffic and fan-absorbing physique. In many cases, people can increase their fans faster than entrepreneurs who hold their own press conferences, and it is free, saving a lot of budget to buy traffic. ”
"If you are a MIT graduate, have an overseas background, and have an entrepreneurial story with ups and downs, then the chance of being pampered by Mr. Xu is much greater, especially like to look at faces. ”
Zhang Ying, the founder of Jingwei, is known as the death squad, with a good reputation, strong follow-up resources for investment, and even medical services for entrepreneurs and their families, and a kind of calf care mentality. ”
"I like to invest in social and 2C projects, such as Momo and Eleme, but they are also ruthless in bargaining, you have to be willing to work hard, and it's okay to follow Lao Zhang. ”
"IDG's Xiong Xiaoge, the earliest VC in China, he and Zhou Quan's collocation can be regarded as a golden partner in investment institutions. Lao Xiong is generally the spokesperson, and Da Zhou is mainly responsible for the judgment and implementation of the project. ”
"Lao Xiong is a media person, with great affinity, and IDG capital exceeds 60 billion. If you are optimistic about a project, you can follow it from the angel round to the pre-listing, and you have the strength to eat alone. ”
When Cai Wensheng saw IDG for the first time, he didn't dare to wash his hands for three days after shaking hands, which shows the status of the rivers and lakes back then. In particular, his understanding of the Internet is unparalleled, and he has a relationship with many Internet bigwigs. ”
Johnson is very interested, the new circle is slowly unfolding in front of him, although he also has tens of billions in his hands, but experience and connections are shortcomings, listen more and learn more, and be modest and not suffer.
"Sequoia Capital's Shen Nanpeng is cruel and has few words, and he never pushes and chatters. The team is almost all from overseas investment banking backgrounds, and the legendary elite is tall. ”
"Even if you miss a project before Series B, you will add it in the future even if the valuation is high. However, they generally do not endorse or stand for the project, and they have to have an absolute say in the negotiations, and like to insert strongly. ”
Lao Tan said that his mouth was dry, he drank a glass of champagne, and said with a smile: "There are a few familiar ones, such as Cai Wensheng, who was born from the grassroots, has a smart brain, and is absolutely powerful in playing with young people." ”
"From 265 to 58.com and the Meitu App, they are all projects that are ahead of the trend. Although he is a post-70s uncle, he has a very accurate grasp of the needs of young people. ”
"Gunner Zhu Xiaohu, who has experienced the subsidy war between Didi and Ele.me, Tiger now has absolutely the right to speak on how to effectively subsidize and expand market share. ”
"There are also Liu Qin and Lei Jun, who are very popular, and the fund Morningside Capital and Shunwei Capital often invest together, or take over each other's projects, not only in the venture capital circle, but also in the entrepreneurial circle. ”
"YY, Xiaomi, Xunlei, and UC are all Liu Qin's famous works, and they are all inserted in the A round. Other investors may be in various fields, but Liu Qin is more like an investor in the entrepreneurial circle. ”
"Last year's very hot Internet mutual aid security platform 17 mutual aid, Kuaishou, and second shooting, people are also angel rounds to enter, to say that the vision is unique, I am the most convinced!"
Lao Tan gave a thumbs up and said: "Known as a sniper, he hits every shot!"
