Chapter 164: Angel Investors
Ludao is a beautiful medium-sized city, with the unique advantages of facing the strait, the special status of the special economic zone, and the historical and cultural heritage, it is unique in economic development and urban construction, and is in the forefront of Fujian Province.
Cai Wensheng was born here, and his career started here, and his current Longling Investment and 165 website are also headquartered on Ludao.
Cai Wensheng is a typical Ludao person, likes to drink tea, likes to make tea, has a slow temperament, and the tone of speech is not fast, but under the slower speed of speech, he has a deep thinking about things, as well as a unique sense of smell for market opportunities.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to lead so many people, discovered the value of domain names early, and would not have been able to invest in so many personal sites in advance, including 165, 4388 and other websites with high traffic value in classified fields.
"Mr. Ren, if you like this domain name, just make a phone call, why bother to go all the way to such a trip. ”
Cai Wensheng put the brewed tea in front of Ren Pingsheng, Ren Pingsheng raised his glass and sniffed it in his nose, a light aroma wafted into his nose, the color of this tea soup was emerald green, the soup was clear, and when he took a sip, a mellow and fragrant aroma flowed into his throat, with an obvious aroma of flowers and trees.
"Good tea, this is Tieguanyin, right?" Ren Pingsheng did not answer Cai Wensheng's question directly, he took a sip of tea and said with a slight smile.
A few days ago, he liked to go to Junheng Law Firm to chat with Ning Zhenyi, drank a lot of good tea from her, and learned a little about tea.
Cai Wensheng smiled, he is a person who loves tea, and he naturally has a good impression when he sees people who like tea, he picked up the teapot, filled Ren Pingsheng's teacup, and said leisurely:
"This is the Tieguanyin native to Anxi, I opened a tea garden there, using a pure natural way to grow tea, without any chemical fertilizers, and without any pesticides, so that the tea can maintain the original taste, only a few hundred catties can be harvested a year, in the circle of people who like to drink oolong tea, it is worth a thousand gold. ”
Ren Pingsheng brought the teacup to his mouth, took a sip unhurriedly, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Cai, you are really an all-rounder, from investing in domain names to investing in websites, from operating companies to operating tea gardens, I am curious, is there any field you are not involved in?"
Cai Wensheng also took a sip of tea, squinted his eyes comfortably, and said:
"This is the tradition of our Hokkien people, as long as we can make money, we will do anything, and we can endure any hardship. ”
He put down the teacup, picked up the teapot to fill it with water, and kept saying:
"Except for one thing, don't do buying and selling money. ”
"Well, well said. ”
Ren Pingsheng clapped his hands and praised, and the two glanced at each other, and they both saw their shadows from each other.
After drinking a cup of tea, Ren Pingsheng said with a straight face:
"Mr. Cai, I know that before you returned to Ludao, you stayed in Yanjing for several years and invested in many good projects, why don't you continue to invest?"
Cai Wensheng looked at Ren Pingsheng, showed an incomprehensible smile, and said:
"Mr. Ren, do you want to hear the truth or listen to half-truths. ”
Ren Pingsheng asked with interest:
"What is the truth, what is a half-truth. ”
Cai Wensheng began a series of actions to make tea, but the words in his mouth were not disturbed in any way, and he still maintained an unhurried tone:
"The truth is to speak on the facts, and what is the truth is what it is. ”
"Half-truths are also true, but with some embellishments and disguises in front of the truth. ”
"Those who understand naturally understand, and those who don't understand don't need to understand. ”
Ren Pingsheng nodded lightly and responded:
"So, Mr. Cai, you can say both of these things, let me see how much I can understand. ”
Cai Wensheng always had a modest smile on his face, and he began to brew the first tea, and said:
"In words that are not false, the competitive pressure in Beijing is too great, crowded with powerful VC and PE, and we are petty fighters, and we can't grab projects with them, so we have to return to our hometown for development. ”
"What about the truth?" Ren Pingsheng asked with a smile:
Cai Wensheng poured the first tea soup into the tea tray, began to brew the second tea, and continued in his mouth:
"The truth is that the current projects are too expensive, the valuations are inflated, and they are not cost-effective. ”
"Good. ”
Ren Pingsheng clapped his hands and said, this is the second time he feels that he and Cai Wensheng have a heart-to-heart connection today.
It is now the first half of 2007, whether it is the domestic A-share market, or overseas U.S. stocks, European stocks are in the rising stage of the big bull market, countless institutions, stock commentators and experts are unanimously optimistic about the capital market.
Due to the good trend of the secondary market, the financing of the primary market is also very smooth, all kinds of start-up companies take the investment to fly, many venture capital compete for the project, the cost of financing is very high, can be compared with this year, only 2017 before the reincarnation of Ren Pingsheng.
As far as Ren Pingsheng knows, only in the small field of bicycle sharing, 25.8 billion yuan was raised in 2017, which shows that capital may not be able to maintain a rational and objective professional attitude most of the time.
The capital market in 2007 is not much different from ten years later, but Ren Pingsheng knows very well that after this year, the world will encounter an unprecedented financial crisis, when not only the A-share crash, but also other stock markets such as the United States stock market will be bloodbathed, and most of the projects invested in the capital frenzy will make investors lose their money.
Cai Wensheng was able to smell the excessive valuation in the capital market before this, and chose to retreat bravely and save himself, this wisdom of leading others, in addition to the fact that he is also a reborn, can only be explained by his natural market smell.
Of course, this is also one of the reasons why Ren Pingsheng made a special trip to Ludao to find Cai Wensheng for an interview.
"However, there is another type of investment in the capital market, which does not require too high investment and will not obtain huge returns, but it does not need to spend effort and energy to track and manage, but it has a higher rate of return and a good return, Mr. Cai, you should understand. ”
Cai Wensheng nodded slowly and said:
"You're talking about angel investing. ”
Ren Pingsheng clapped his hands and said:
"That's right, if we only invest in projects that are still in the creative stage, each case is about 50-1 million, and we can invest in 200 cases a year, and as long as 1% of these 200 cases can be listed, our return will be hundreds of times. With Mr. Cai's experience, can't you even do 1%?"
Cai Wensheng suddenly realized, it turned out that Ren Pingsheng wanted to find him to do angel investment together, Cai Wensheng is no stranger to this idea, what he did before, in fact, a large part of it belongs to the field of angel investment, but he has always been an individual investment, never thought of intensifying and scaling it.
Ren Pingsheng's suggestion opened a new path for Cai Wensheng, and he seemed to see a promising field, and this field was full of money.
Ren Pingsheng saw that he was already a little moved, and continued to analyze:
"In the field of domestic individual investors, what I admire the most is Mr. Cai, and Mr. Lei, the two of you, from this case of the happy era, you can also see my investment ability, the three of us can jointly set up an investment fund, specializing in angel investment in the Internet field. ”
"In the next three years, a number of Internet start-ups worth tens of billions of dollars will emerge in the Chinese market, and it will be much easier for us to seize this opportunity and do what we want to do in the future. ”
Cai Wensheng has been listening very carefully, and at the same time, the teapot in his hand has not stopped, and when Ren Pingsheng finished speaking, he also filled the teacup in front of the two, and the fragrance of Tieguanyin's tea overflowed the whole room.
"Mr. Ren, drink tea first, drink tea first. Cai Wensheng made a gesture and raised the teacup in front of him with Ren Pingsheng one after another.
After drinking the tea soup in the cup, Cai Wensheng raised his head and said slowly:
"Mr. Ren, your idea is very good, and I dare to be interested, but I have a question. ”
"Mr. Cai, please speak. Ren Pingsheng made a gesture.
"Since Mr. Ren has made up his mind to find me and Mr. Lei to do this together, why don't you find Mr. Lei first, but find me first. ”
Cai Wensheng asked this question very well, and Ren Pingsheng actually had his own ideas.
The main reason why he wanted to find Cai Wensheng as a partner, in addition to his many years of successful investment experience, is because he is also the founder of the Internet Webmaster Conference and has a lot of Internet webmaster resources in his hands.
During this period of time, many people still don't understand the value of these Internet personal sites, but Ren Pingsheng is very clear that personal websites such as yezizhu, zhulang, hjsm, etc., will become the target of capital in the future, and small game platforms like 4388 will be valued at tens of billions in the future, but not many people know its value at this time.
These webmaster resources are the most valuable assets, even if their business opportunities have not yet been explored, but with the continuous growth of the Internet economy, there will eventually be some seed players who will stand out.
But Ren Pingsheng will not think about this, he explained to Cai Wensheng like this:
"I have a special relationship with Mr. Lei, I bought the studio of Jinshan from him, and invested in Happy Times with him, if I go to him to discuss partnership investment, I am afraid it will cause some criticism from Jinshan Company. ”
Ren Pingsheng took another sip of tea and added:
"Mr. Cai, you should know that the game currently developed by our company has essentially constituted an industry competition with Jinshan. ”
Although Cai Wensheng is not a professional online gamer, he also understands the information in the industry, and from his point of view, Ren Pingsheng's explanation is flawless.
Therefore, Cai Wensheng continued to lift the teapot in his hand and said with a smile:
"There are still three brews of this tea, Mr. Ren, let's taste it slowly. ”
Ren Pingsheng nodded and smiled, he knew that he had already dealt with Cai Wensheng.
Next, after taking care of Lei Jun's affairs, I will leave it to Cai Wensheng to solve it.
