Buchanan was happy to greet Feng Yiping's two in-laws at the airport, and from the expression on his face, Feng Yiping could see that Nextdoor must be developing well. 【，

As he thought, "We've set up substations in nearly half of New York's neighborhoods," Buchanan said as soon as they met.

Feng Yiping gave a thumbs up without hesitation, "Very good!"

"The government's support and stance have played a great role in promoting it,"

Of course, no matter which country it is, the government's support is very important, that is, it does not support or oppose it, and it does not set up additional obstacles to increase the difficulty and does not make trouble, which is also very good, not to mention that it is now supported with great fanfare.

"Hehe, this is mainly your credit," Feng Yiping said.

To be honest, in a short period of time, so many government departments can only be done by people like Buchanan, who know a lot of people and are good at dancing.

"Boss, didn't you hire me to do this?" Buchanan said with a smile.

Nothing can only have good aspects, and nextdoor, which is in the limelight, is no exception, in the office, Buchanan solemnly put a few business cards in front of Feng Yiping.

"What is this?" Feng Yiping flipped through the names of the companies on these business cards, because he was not familiar with them at all, so he felt very embarrassed, and when he turned to the fifth one, he finally came across a familiar one, "Intelcapital, Intel Capital?" He looked at Buchanan, and the other party nodded.

Then flipped, and the last one was the only one he was familiar with, and the only one he had heard of, Sequoia Capital.

"Are they all?" he reacted.

"Yes," Buchanan moved a chair and sat down across from Feng Yiping. In order to communicate better, he also bent his waist.

"The top 10 venture capitalists in China have basically sent investment managers to come for interviews, and even a few of the managing partners have even called,"

It's a bit of a dilemma, but Buchanan said it. still can't hide the pride in his words.

In this cold winter of the Internet, their new project has been touted in this way, which made him, who was still a little apprehensive, down-to-earth, and more confident to speak in front of his old colleagues and acquaintances.

"Funds, we shouldn't be short of funds now, right?" Feng Yiping muttered.

Why are these venture capital companies in the United States so sensitive in their noses?

"Now the cost of everything is low, whether it is employee compensation or equipment. The support of local governments has also helped us solve some of the problems, so although we have made great strides in the past two months, there is still a surplus of funds in the account.

Moreover, in fact, there is a lack of funds, and we should be able to use these existing high-quality assets to go to the bank for loans. They are definitely welcoming. ”

Both of them understood this. Even if you don't take out a loan, it's not a big problem, because Feng Yiping can still invest money in the company.

However, at this time, the two of them were not easy, and Feng Yiping became as solemn as Buchanan.

"This one. How did they talk to you?" Feng Yiping asked Buchanan in detail, "You can tell me about it,"

There is no reason why they are not solemn and careful about such things.

In the United States. Capital can be easily transformed into power, and capital itself is also a kind of power, so many well-known venture capital companies take the initiative to come to the door, if all of them are turned away, it is very inappropriate.

Together, the amount of capital that can be used by these venture capitals is absolutely astronomical, and Feng Yiping can't crush such an object at present.

Moreover, every well-known venture capital has a complex network of relationships, which is not as good as they want, and there will definitely be troubles in the future, and it will be a problem for you to even go public.

"For the nextdoor project, we can say that we still need to work hard in all aspects, for example, we are still solving the profit model, so in the near future, in line with the responsibility to investors, we have no intention of increasing capital for the time being. Feng Yiping said.

Even if this seemed to be said from the other party's point of view, Feng Yiping understood that if it was just like this, he would definitely offend them cleanly.

For venture capitalists, such a time is actually the most suitable and promising, but the short-term profitability is average, isn't it convenient for them to use the least amount of money to get the most shares?

"However, we have other companies with equally bright prospects for them to invest in,"

Feng Yiping said that the two companies that are currently preparing to go public, Yijia Express Hotel and Jiasheng Automobile website.

Listed on the NASDAQ, there are clear requirements for the number of shareholders, and it is not good to be all people within the group, all Chinese, and it is not bad to take this opportunity to bring some foreigners in.

And these people have great powers in all aspects, and if you pull them in, you can't make sure that as soon as the stock is listed, it will rise wildly.

"That's all there is to it,"

No one wants to find another adoptive parent for a child who can afford to raise his own family, and the adoptive parents can't make a counterattack, but they have topped up the status of your biological parents - soon after the venture capital and the company cooperated, they began to have conflicts, and then kicked the founder out of the company, and there are too many such things.

The essence of venture capital is to make money, and it is to make as much money as possible in the shortest possible time, make a lot of money and make quick money.

How is it possible that you expect him, like the founding team, to always stand in the position of the company and the collective, and consider the long-term development of the company?

For them, making money is the last word, and as for whether the company develops well or not after their funds are recovered, that is not the key.

It is better to provide these companies that are about to be listed to them, and at the same time, there is no reason to sell them cheaply, and at the same time, it is good to sell to them, which also reduces the difficulty of listing and saves trouble.

The matter came to an end, and Buchanan seemed to have something to say, and seemed a little hesitant, which is rare for a person like him.

"Is there still trouble?" Feng Yiping asked.

"I'm very grateful to Ippei for the opportunity you gave me, it's very rare and perfect," Buchanan said seriously, "I have been able to get in touch with many people through this opportunity, and now I have a stronger relationship with them than before, and outsiders don't know the details, they see the success of Nextdoor as my credit, so now there are more people who recognize me than before,"

Feng Yiping probably heard something.

Sure enough, Buchanan went on to say, "There are already quite a few people who want me to go back to my old circle and make promises,"

"And in your heart, that's actually what you want, right?" Feng Yiping said, "It stands to reason that the company shouldn't delay you, but you also know that although the nextdoor website is developing very well and has a good momentum, it is actually just the beginning."

You should also know that someone with expertise and a resume like you is also critical to the success of this website, so for the time being, we are afraid that we will not agree."

"I understand, I understand, I'm not going to resign right now," Buchanan said, "Things have to be done one by one, and if you want to make a result, you will definitely have to wait until everything is on the right track, but I'm afraid that it will be too abrupt to bring it up, so I will communicate with you in advance."

"I'll let Mr. Jin handle this matter," looking at Buchanan, who seemed more stable and confident and more tense because of the bright prospects of the project he handled, Feng Yiping was a little disappointed, this is a talent that is easy to meet, who knows if people's ambitions are still political.

21 Actually, the most rare thing is really talent. (To be continued.) )
