Chapter 520: Contenders
After contacting Zhang Bingxin, Chen Qiaoshan was idle, he no longer mentioned the merger and acquisition, but took Dong Qifeng to Hengdian with great interest.
Hengdian is a town below Dongyang, after watching two lifetimes of TV series, Chen Qiaoshan is still the first time to return to Hengdian, so he naturally got to take a look at the filming locations, he didn't come in vain this trip, and stayed in Dongyang for two days, which satisfied his long-standing curiosity.
Chen Qiaoshan can calm down, but others may not.
During this period, he kept receiving phone invitations from Zhang Bingxin, but they were all politely rejected without exception.
5173 is in urgent need of financial support, although it can continue to make profits, but it cannot meet its own development needs, and it is difficult to adapt to the growing market demand if there is no large amount of capital investment.
A single profit model, a smooth network payment method, and a website architecture without technical barriers are serious constraints, and how much potential 5173 has, I'm afraid IDG Capital is not very optimistic.
It is not difficult to see from Zhang Bingxin's eagerness that the financing of 5173 is not smooth, which is why Chen Qiaoshan knows that IDG has intervened, but he can still travel with peace of mind.
……
On the 11th, Chen Qiaoshan arrived at the Qin Palace.
For the Qingming Palace, after all, it is an imitation of the Forbidden City, and it is common to stay in Yanjing all the year round, and it is normal to go to it a lot, Chen Qiaoshan is very interested in the Qin Palace, compared to other palaces, the momentum here is undoubtedly much grander.
As soon as he entered the Four Seas and Returned to One Palace, Dong Qifeng answered a phone call, Chen Qiaoshan didn't care about him, and walked around the front hall by himself, not long after, Dong Qifeng hurried up, seeing that he had a panicked look on his face, Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but wonder: "What's the matter, something happened?"
Dong Qifeng said: "Mr. Chen, the people of IDG Capital have also come to Jinhua. ”
Chen Qiaoshan was a little strange, it stands to reason that Dong Qifeng didn't know anyone in 5173, and he didn't hear that he arranged eyeliner, he asked, "How do you know this news?"
"The day before yesterday, the vice president Xiong called, knowing that we have investment intentions, so he notified us in advance. Dong Qifeng explained, and then asked: "Mr. Chen, looking at your appearance, why aren't you in a hurry?"
As one of the initiators of the stationmaster conference, Dong Qifeng doesn't know much about Chen Qiaoshan's reality and reality, but he doesn't know anything.
Tsingshan Capital does have a small reputation, but that's just the appearance.
During the webmaster conference, Chen Qiaoshan promised to invest two million US dollars and hyped it, but the result was less than one-third, at best, it was just an upstart in the investment industry, and IDG Capital has always been wealthy, and has gradually transformed from VC to a whole industry chain investment platform, and a single investment of more than one million US dollars abounds, and Tsingshan Capital can only be regarded as a chick compared with it.
Dong Qifeng is not optimistic about this merger and acquisition, but Chen Qiaoshan insisted, and he didn't say much, but with IDG capital involved, things are complicated, but looking at Chen Qiaoshan's appearance, as if he was fine, this is obviously unreasonable.
Chen Qiaoshan said: "What is there to worry about, IDG is not coming, how can Zhang Bingxin's thoughts be broken." ”
Dong Qifeng could hear that Chen Qiaoshan had already made up his mind, he pondered for a while, but he didn't understand the reason, so he had to ask: "Mr. Chen, what are you going to do?"
"What else can be done, doesn't Zhang Bingxin want financing, as long as we can persuade IDG Capital to stop, we will become the only lifesaver for 5173, and it will definitely be much easier to talk about acquisitions. ”
The reason is good, but in Dong Qifeng's opinion, how can it be as simple as saying, not mentioning whether Zhang Bingxin will agree to sell 5173, just to persuade IDG Capital to give up the financing plan, and it is not something that can be achieved in a few words.
Dong Qifeng wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing that Chen Qiaoshan was interested in the set of bells in the hall, he could only hold the question in his heart, anyway, he has been accompanying the boss, and there will always be a time when the truth will come out.
…………
After receiving the news, Chen Qiaoshan immediately ended his trip to Hengdian and did not continue to stay in Dongyang, and on the way back to Jinhua, he called Zhang Bingxin and asked the other party to meet.
Zhang Bingxin was also simply invited Chen Qiaoshan to have a meal together in the evening again, and Chen Qiaoshan did not refuse, and immediately agreed.
Hengdian is more than 100 miles away from Jinhua, rushed back to the city, there was not much left from the agreed time, went back to the hotel to clean up, Chen Qiaoshan stopped the car, to the door of the hotel booked.
"Mr. Chen, this Zhang Bingxin is too insincere, right, please come to dinner?" As soon as he got out of the car, Dong Qifeng had an opinion.
No wonder he chattered, Zhang Bingxin's place to treat was in Liangen Pot Village, which sounded quite atmospheric, and when I came to see it, it was a food stall, and it was also a banquet for investors, in Dong Qifeng's view, this was obviously negligence.
Chen Qiaoshan didn't take it to heart, he likes food, but the focus tonight is not on eating and drinking, since Zhang Bingxin is here, he obviously has his intentions, just wait and see what happens.
"Come on, let's go in, when Kangsheng just started, Lao Wang and I can also go to the barbecue stall to fight the tooth sacrifice, it's not easy to be an entrepreneur, Boss Zhang may not be rich in his pocket, we have to be considerate." ”
Obviously, Zhang Bingxin is not short of money for a meal, but no matter what his intentions are, Chen Qiaoshan did not take it to heart, the acquisition is not an investment, once the deal is reached, as the founder, the best result is to retire, and there is really no need to think too much.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Dong, welcome, welcome. Zhang Bingxin was already waiting at the door of the store, and when he saw Chen Qiaoshan and Dong Qifeng coming, he hurriedly greeted him.
Chen Qiaoshan said with a smile: "Boss Zhang, we have been admiring Hengdian for a long time, so we went to visit by the way, and I am really sorry to ask you three times and four times." ”
Zhang Bingxin was quite enthusiastic and didn't mind at all, "Where is it, Chen is always a distinguished guest, and he should have accompanied him personally, but I was negligent." ”
After a while, the three of them entered the store.
Seeing Dong Qifeng looking around, Zhang Bingxin hurriedly explained: "Jinhua must not be able to compare with Yanjing, the two of them came from afar, presumably it is not rare to have any star-rated hotels, and I will not be ugly in front of the two." ”
"Mr. Chen, the local casserole stew is very famous, and ham, shortbread and called Jinhua Three Treasures, although this shop is inconspicuous, but it is Jinhua decades of time-honored brand, but also the founder of Jinhua pot. ”
Chen Qiaoshan was also interested at this time, the hotel pays more attention to knife work and ingredients, and the food may not have local flavors, if you really want to taste it, you still have to go to the old restaurant with the locals.
Zhang Bingxin specially asked for a private room, and when Chen Qiaoshan entered, there were already two people sitting inside, one of whom he knew, Li Xiaojun of IDG Capital, and the two had a relationship in Dajue Temple last time.
"Manager Li, what a coincidence. ”
Seeing Chen Qiaoshan, Li Xiaojun was also quite surprised.
He has not been in IDG Capital for a long time, as a first-line investment manager, he has been involved in many projects, Kangsheng has also entered Li Xiaojun's sight, but in the end it is all over, 5173 is currently the closest to the case to be negotiated, but it is also full of twists and turns.
"Mr. Chen, why are you here too?"
Chen Qiaoshan glanced at Zhang Bingxin and said with a smile: "I have to ask Mr. Zhang, why, he didn't say I was coming?"
When Li Xiaojun saw this scene, he instantly figured out that Chen Qiaoshan is not only the boss of Kangsheng, but also a member of Tsingshan Capital.
Zhang Bingxin said that he was introducing a friend, which was obviously to attract a competitor, and he didn't need to think about it to know that Zhang Bingxin must be trying to take the initiative in the negotiations, and since there are competitors, it is logical to ask for a higher financing offer.
Zhang Bingxin deliberately led two groups of people to meet, and when he saw that the two knew each other, he couldn't help but be shocked.
IDG Capital's offer is difficult to be satisfactory, Chen Qiaoshan has no news, today put the two sides together, he is deliberately letting the two parties compete, now it seems that things are a bit unexpected.
Zhang Bingxin quickly calmed down, he smiled and said: "You are all distinguished guests from afar, I just thought about inviting everyone to get together, it just so happened that the two of them happened to know each other, and I don't need to introduce more." ”
None of the people present were fools, so they naturally knew what Zhang Bingxin's purpose was, but the reactions of several parties were the same.
Li Xiaojun is secretly unlucky, he is very optimistic about 5173, but he is only the investment manager of IDG, and he has to participate in every detail of the project, but he does not have the leading power in the negotiation terms and price negotiations.
Venture capital is different from others, although the investment manager has the name of the manager, in fact, it is second only to the administrative staff at the bottom, there are investment directors and institutional partners on the press, only the right to make suggestions but not the right to decide.
Li Xiaojun was very depressed, he was originally optimistic about Kangsheng, but he was dispelled by Wang Gongquan's words, and as a result, Kangsheng is now becoming more and more prosperous, and he can only be secretly unlucky.
Now, he is bullish on 5173.
The field of game trading is still a blank field, and Licheng Information is in urgent need of funds to stake the land, which should be an excellent investment opportunity, and the result is good, the project is blocked by risk control.
"Lack of core technology, there is no possibility of forming technical barriers. Thinking of the approval on the project book, Li Xiaojun was very angry.
Technical barriers are indeed the moat of entrepreneurs, but without heavy investment, how can it be possible to form a technological lead, besides, the trading platform can be done by everyone, but the first entrant must be able to lay out early, and it is completely feasible to use the capital advantage to consolidate the lead.
To put it mildly, Li Xiaojun finally asked for some funds from the company, and this time he came to persuade Zhang Bingxin to sign a contract, but when he met Chen Qiaoshan, it seems that things have changed.
Chen Qiaoshan doesn't have so many ideas, it's great to be able to meet someone from IDG Capital, as for whether he is an acquaintance or not, it really doesn't matter.
Seeing that the two knew each other, Zhang Bingxin didn't dare to make a mistake, but Zhang Luo introduced Jinhua's delicacies, and praised the carcass pot as rare in the sky and nothing in the ground.
He is not lying, the taste of Jinhua pot is indeed not bad, different from Sichuan and Shu hot pot, the stew pot pays attention to the original taste, the fish is the taste of fish, the meat is the taste of meat, especially the thick soup mixed with the side dishes, the most fragrant.
Chen Qiaoshan also felt that it was very palatable, and he only cared about eating and drinking, as for the wine, he didn't drink a drop of wine, and Li Xiaojun didn't have the heart to drink, so he just thought about whether to increase the offer.
Zhang Bingxin can't help it, he is the owner of the money, and he has to give up after persuading him twice, and he doesn't feel disappointed, as long as the two sides know the existence of competitors, as for the rest, he can't think about it much.
Several people at the table had their own thoughts, and no one talked about financing, so the meal naturally ended in a hurry.
Before the end of the show, Zhang Bingxin still had an extra program, but Chen Qiaoshan said: "It's not early, I'll see it here, Mr. Zhang, do you have free tomorrow morning, I want to make an appointment with you." ”
"Yes, always available. Zhang Bingxin was overjoyed, Chen Qiaoshan had been lukewarm for the past two days, and he took the initiative to invite him at this time, it seems that this meal has been effective.
Li Xiaojun secretly said that it was not good, it seems that Chen Qiaoshan is really going to intervene this time.
Although IDG is not afraid of it, Chen Qiaoshan is a family member, and Li Xiaojun is an investment manager who has no right to speak, and there is no right to be flexible, and this project seems to have added more variables.
At this point, Li Xiaojun had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Mr. Zhang, do you see our contract?"
Zhang Bingxin said with a smile: "Manager Li, why don't we talk in detail tomorrow?"
Li Xiaojun had no choice but to give up, and everyone said a few more words, and then they dispersed at the door of the store.
After getting into the taxi, Chen Qiao took out his mobile phone, found Li Xiaojun's number and dialed it.
"Hey, Mr. Chen?" the phone rang only three times before it was answered.
The numbers were exchanged last time they met, obviously, the two of them retained, Chen Qiaoshan This is also a habit developed in the early years, as the saying goes, many friends have more roads, fewer enemies and fewer walls, it always doesn't hurt to know a few more people, maybe there will be a need at any time.
Chen Qiaoshan said: "It's me, Manager Li, I don't know if you have any arrangements for the evening?"
Li Xiaojun was a little hesitant, he came over as soon as he separated, the purpose was self-evident, either to persuade himself to let go, or to join forces and cooperate, he couldn't escape these two, but it was not a bad thing to see him, at least he could understand the other party's intentions, whether he was a friend or an enemy, he always scored clearly, and he was well prepared.
"Mr. Chen, there is nothing to do at night, and I haven't been to Jinhua a few times, why don't you say a place and let's go sit together?"
Chen Qiaoshan said with a smile: "I live in Jincheng International, there is a café on the top floor, the environment is good, just to see the night view of Jinhua." ”
"Okay, you wait a minute, I'll be there later. ”
……
Hanging up the phone, Dong Qifeng asked, "Mr. Chen, are you going to persuade Li Xiaojun to give up the financing project?"
Chen Qiaoshan shook his head, "It's not to persuade them to give up, it's to let them increase investment." ”
Dong Qifeng was confused when he heard it, he wanted to acquire 5173, naturally he couldn't let IDG stir up the situation, looking at the situation tonight, Zhang Bingxin obviously had the intention of sitting on the ground and starting the price.
The best way is to find some tone from Li Xiaojun's mouth, so that he has the opportunity to offer a suitable price in the merger and acquisition negotiations to make Zhang Bingxin succumb.
Dong Qifeng couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Chen, what are you going to do?"
Chen Qiaoshan said with a smile: "What else can I plan to persuade IDG to suspend the investment plan, and then use the money to cooperate with us when the acquisition is completed." ”
Dong Qifeng's heart was full of disapproval, looking at the size of IDG Capital, Tsingshan Capital's small arms and legs, Chen Qiaoshan really dared to think about it, but Dong Qifeng didn't say it, he wanted to see why Chen Qiaoshan persuaded Li Xiaojun.
