Chapter 914: I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail
After confirming that the other party was indeed talented and was the person he wanted, Li Yadong did not beat around the bush, and directly explained the purpose of the trip.
"Join my company. ”
Xiong Xiaoge is naturally not a stupid person, and the other party has contacted him twice, and his purpose has been revealed.
Objectively speaking, Dongfanghong Venture Capital is indeed very attractive, not to mention anything else, just one thing, or one thing - money.
You must know that the venture capital company jointly established by their American IDG company and Shanghi Science and Technology Commission has a registered capital of only 20 million.
And what about the other side?
500 million!
Not at all in a single order.
And what are the basic elements of a VC firm?
Money!
As the so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, there is no money, you cast a fart!
Even if you see a good company with huge potential, you can only stare dryly.
It's just that......
"Chairman Li, I appreciate your kindness, but isn't there already two senior CEOs of the venture capital company under your group? After all, everyone is in the same industry, I have also known more or less, it is said that one is a senior in the financial industry from Hong Kong, who has witnessed the development of almost the entire Hong Kong financial industry, and has rich experience. The other one is not bad, a senior manager of a well-known venture capital company in the United States, who has been in the industry several times that of me, and with the two of them at the helm of Dongfanghong Venture Capital, I will go over again...... Doesn't that seem redundant?"
"How can it be redundant!" Li Yadong glared at the beads of his eyes and said, "Mr. Luo has the advantages of Mr. Luo, the old man has the advantages of the old, and you have the advantages of yours, isn't this contradictory!
This is a truth, and it is also Li Yadong's expectation.
He is very clear about the strengths and weaknesses of Uncle Luo and Michael.
Let's talk about Uncle Luo first.
He is good at everything, as Xiong Xiaoge said just now, he is experienced. But the point is, his experience is not very compatible.
Yes, he can indeed play with many things in the financial industry, such as stocks, funds, and even managing banks, but he is actually a newcomer to venture capital.
He takes the technical route, and venture capital, the most important thing is actually vision.
Let's talk about Michael.
As a senior venture capital manager, his professionalism naturally has nothing to say, but the key is that he is a foreigner, and his previous work experience is all abroad, and the national conditions of the United States and China are too different, not to mention that he can't even speak Mandarin now, how can he be so handy when it comes to handling business?
In fact, Li Yadong's work plan for him is still abroad, and once the group can go abroad in the future, he will still be mainly responsible for the overseas business.
That's where people get the most out of it.
It's just that it's very helpless, the group is now difficult to get out, so it is committed to developing the domestic market, and at this time, the venture capital company is in great need of a professional person who understands China's national conditions to join and assist Uncle Luo and Michael to do a good job in this market.
As he said earlier – form an iron triangle.
Truth be told, there should be no more suitable candidate than the bear pigeon.
At least for now.
"This ...... Dong Li, your idea is good, but I am a relatively straight person, and my age is quite different from the two CEOs, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get along with them, and I am likely to live up to your expectations. The bear pigeon sneered.
What is this guy afraid of?
Li Yadong was puzzled.
How can a small American IDG compare with his Dongfanghong Group?
His authorized funds for the venture capital company are a full 10 billion US dollars, although the outside world does not know about this matter, but he does not believe that people like Xiong Xiaoge will not know that Dongfang Hongfeng has a strong investment capital.
And what do venture capitalists miss the most?
There is no doubt that it is money!
If there is rice in the hand, the space that can be cast is wide, otherwise it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
As long as he wants to be a venture capitalist, he should be willing to join his own venture capital company, why would he resist?
Is it because of the emotional factors between the company and the reluctance to change jobs?
Just when Li Yadong was full of confusion, Jack "kicked" him under his feet.
"Mr. Xiong, you eat first, I'll go to the bathroom. Jack stood up and said with a smile.
"Mr. Fang is casual. The bear made a "please" gesture.
"Wait, let's do it together. At this time, Li Yadong also stood up and said with a haha, "The main thing is that it's too cold this day." ”
The two left the box together, naturally not going to the bathroom.
"What's wrong?" asked Li Yadong in the corridor.
"Boss, have you ever thought about a question. Jack whispered.
"What?" Li Yadong didn't know why.
"At the moment in IDG Ventures, Xiong Xiaoge can be said to be a man of his word, he has the final say in everything, and after arriving at our venture capital company, he is at most the third in the round of qualifications, anyway, he is not a very bad person, what do you say he is trying to do? ”
After hearing Jack say this, Li Yadong's eyes suddenly lit up.
Don't say it, it's probably because of this.
Think about it from another perspective, if he is now a bear pigeon, and someone wants to dig himself up, no matter what the reason, he will never leave.
Why?
Because he is fully capable of running a company well on his own, why should he go to other companies to be equal to others, and maybe he has to listen to them?
"It was my negligence, I kept thinking about the overall situation of the company, but I didn't consider his personal feelings. Li Yadong patted Jack's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Well, you're the boss, and of course you have to think about the big picture first. Jack chuckled.
After the two returned to the box again, Li Yadong directly began to draw cakes for Xiong Xiaoge.
Of course, the bread he painted is absolutely cashable.
"Mr. Xiong, I also hope that you will carefully consider my proposal, I will not talk about the treatment, it will definitely not be worse than you are now. In addition, I can also promise you that as long as you are willing to join Dongfanghong Venture Capital, you will have the first executive power for all the company's affairs in China in the future. ”
"Ah, me, the first executive power?" Xiong Xiaoge had just lifted the chopsticks, and put them back again, surprised.
"Well, the company's final investment letter of intent must be signed by you to be effective, and Mr. Luo and Lao Mai will assist you. ”
After receiving Li Yadong's affirmative reply, Xiong Xiaoge was even more surprised, and said with a smile: "This ...... Not really, right?"
"Nothing bad. Li Yadong smiled and waved his hand: "I just said, the three of you have their own advantages, Mr. Luo, I let him take charge of the capital operation, he must be happy to be idle, as for the old man, he will be responsible for foreign affairs in the future, and he is definitely more inclined to this job." Make the best use of people, learn from each other's strengths, and develop the company together. What do you think?"
I think it's good!," the bear pigeon thought.
If that's the case, then, it seems...... It seems like...... Maybe...... He really couldn't find any more reason to refuse.
"Dong Li, do you really trust me so much?" Xiong Xiaoge asked seriously.
Li Yadong smiled and didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "Shouldn't it?"
"Hehe......"
Xiong Xiaoge also smiled, his expression was a little honest and a little moved.
