Chapter 415: Accidents
Only one day later, Chen Qiaoshan met Zhou Zhengning.
As a professional VC, every time they meet, Zhou Zhengning is in a suit and tie, and the whole person looks meticulous, like a successful businessman.
Chen Qiaoshan was very convinced, on such a hot day, even if there was air conditioning, it would be torturous outside, anyway, he couldn't stand the restraint.
The two made an appointment in the café downstairs of the hotel where Chen Qiaoshan lived, and as soon as they met, Zhou Zhengning said: "Mr. Chen, the matter of Linkett has eyebrows." ”
Chen Qiaoshan is not surprised, it is difficult for foreign Internet companies to succeed in China.
The main reason is that the water and soil are not adapted, Google and Yahoo are all disgraced, and the international giants are still like this, not to mention the Korean Internet companies, especially the advertising alliance, the upstream and downstream are in China, and it is not so easy to be a middleman.
Chen Qiaoshan said: "This time it is troublesome to Mr. Zhou, so let's do it at noon, let's celebrate." ”
"Not really. Zhou Zhengning refused with a smile, "I have to go to Singapore on a plane at half past eleven." ”
"Don't be in such a hurry, it's just a meal. ”
Zhou Zhengning said: "It's a long time coming, let's talk about it next time, the typhoon has passed through in the past two days, and if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave." ”
Chen Qiaoshan only then remembered that there was such a thing, and he heard yesterday that the typhoon might pass through Hong Kong.
Chen Qiaoshan has also been in a seaside city, but he has not encountered a real typhoon transit, to be honest, he is quite looking forward to it.
"I have communicated with the headquarters of LinkTech Korea, and they have preliminarily agreed to the conditions you offered, but the specific cooperation plan has to be negotiated by the two of you yourself. Zhou Zhengning is very happy to see this cooperation come to fruition, and no matter which party ultimately benefits, it will not affect the interests of Jifu Asia.
However, deep down, Zhou Zhengning is still more optimistic about Kangsheng, not only because of the home advantage, but more importantly, because of Chen Qiaoshan's advanced Internet thinking.
Chen Qiaoshan said: "This is no problem, I will immediately arrange someone to contact the person in charge of LinkTech China." ”
After talking about the advertising alliance, Zhou Zhengning directly asked about the financing situation, "You said last time that you wanted to borrow a sum of money, what is the specific situation, is there a problem on Kangsheng's side?"
"That's not it, the VIE structure will be completed soon, in order to maintain normal operation, I put two million on the company's account, and this webmaster meeting must be enough. ”
Zhou Zhengning was a little strange, since it was not Kangsheng who encountered financial problems, it must have been Chen Qiaoshan's private loan, and he probably had a judgment in his heart.
Chen Qiaoshan pondered for a moment, and then said: "I have a short-term project in my hand, and now I lack capital turnover, if possible, I am willing to pledge Kangsheng's equity." ”
Zhou Zhengning was a little embarrassed, JAFCO Asia has strict restrictions on the use of funds, if Kangsheng wants to borrow funds, it will be given.
Private lending is another matter, but it involves Kangsheng's equity, which makes him very entangled.
Zhou Zhengning knows that just by owning the copyright of Discuz, Kangsheng's prospects are very good, if he refuses directly, if Chen Qiaoshan pledges his equity and eventually falls into the hands of others, this is definitely not the result he wants to see, "How much money do you need?"
Chen Qiaoshan had already thought about it clearly, "Two million US dollars, for two months, I pledged 30% of the equity." ”
He is very self-aware, although the more funds the better, but the capital requirements are too high, Zhou Zhengning may not be willing to agree, and the equity pledge must be discounted, especially unlisted companies.
Zhou Zhengning pondered for a while, this asking price is acceptable, even if Chen Qiaoshan can't repay it, two million US dollars in exchange for 30% of Kangsheng's equity, this must be a profit or a loss, and there is no need to worry about cashing out in the name of equity pledge.
Zhou Zhengning quickly made a decision, even if it was not for the sake of face, for the sake of interests, he was willing to lend it to Chen Qiaoshan, "No problem, just do what you say." ”
Chen Qiaoshan breathed a sigh of relief, although he had long expected this kind of result, he was also very happy, after all, the problem of money was solved.
He knew in his heart that even if he lost all his money this time and couldn't repay the loan on time, Zhou Zhengning would not lose anything, but he still owed someone a favor.
Even in Hong Kong, $2 million is not a small amount.
In the past two years, Hong Kong's economy has been sluggish, 02 and 03 for two consecutive years, the average monthly salary of university graduates is only 8,000 Hong Kong dollars, and 04 years have improved slightly, but it has only reached about 10,000, which is not even the level of four years ago.
As one of the two major financial centers in Asia, Hong Kong's economy has been declining significantly in recent years.
On the one hand, the impact of the financial crisis has not yet passed, and on the other hand, the status of the mainland as a transit point for trade has been shaken.
Chen Qiaoshan did not worry about Hong Kong, on the contrary, he remembered Singapore, another financial center.
Compared with Hong Kong, Singapore is undoubtedly more fortunate and has a more obvious geographical advantage, at least not affected by typhoons.
……
After sending Zhou Zhengning away, Chen Qiaoshan felt that the weather was a little abnormal, which should be a precursor to a typhoon.
That night, it rained heavily in Hong Kong, and Victoria Harbour, not far away, also lost its former calm and disappeared into a curtain of rain.
In Hong Kong, there is a very famous meteorological term, Typhoon Signal No. 8.
For people in other regions, this is an unfamiliar term, but for Hong Kong people, as long as the Observatory issues a warning of Typhoon Signal No. 8, it means that students will be closed and office workers will not have to go to work.
Of course, Goldman Sachs is an exception, even if there are knives in the sky, it can't stop financial people.
The most famous example of this is the passage of Hurricane Sandy in '12, which darkened the entire west coast of Lower Manhattan in New York, and the headquarters of Goldman Sachs was the only brightly lit building.
The hurricane killed more than 100 Americans, and in this case, the headquarters of Goldman Sachs closed only part of its offices.
This was not Goldman Sachs' intention, mainly because the New York City government allocated the headquarters building to the evacuation zone, and employees who went out could not enter it.
Chen Qiaoshan stood in front of the window for a long time, there was only a shadow left in Taiping Mountain, and the coastline disappeared, except for the strong wind mixed with the rain curtain of the call sign, which was not much different from before.
After watching it for a while, he lost interest, and he went to bed early.
In the middle of the night, Chen Qiaoshan was suddenly woken up by a phone ringing, and he took out the BlackBerry mobile phone, which is the standard configuration of financial dogs, and it looked like Shi Xiaodong was calling.
"Hey. ”
"Mr. Chen, something happened. Shi Xiaodong's voice was very anxious, the mobile phone signal was not very good on the day of the typhoon, and the voice was a little distorted.
Chen Qiaoshan was a little surprised, what could happen in the middle of the night.
However, he immediately remembered that Shi Xiaodong was helping him entertain Goldman Sachs' clients in the past two days, and he was shocked, it couldn't be that endy Yu's problem, he hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
"Mr. Chen, Miss Yu's classmate just called me and said that Miss Yu is sick and has a terrible stomachache. ”
Chen Qiaoshan was stunned, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, it was normal, and he didn't pay much attention to it, "Let her drink more hot water, by the way, isn't there a guardian to accompany her?"
In the mouth of Chinese parents, hot water is a panacea, Chen Qiaoshan has lived two lives, and he has been instilled with this concept, and now it can be regarded as living and learning.
He knew that this view was unreliable, but it was somewhat effective for some symptoms.
Shi Xiaodong said: "Miss Yu's guardian has already returned to the UK in the afternoon, and because of the typhoon, he left a day early. ”
After a pause, he said again: "Mr. Chen, I'm in Tin Shui Wai, I'll rush over immediately, this typhoon day, it may take some time, can you go and see the situation first?"
Tin Shui Wai is in Yuen Long, nearly 40 kilometers away from Hong Kong Island, the distance is not close, and the key transportation is not very convenient.
Chen Qiaoshan hurriedly stopped: "Don't come here, I'll deal with it, it's not convenient for you to go out in this ghost weather." ”
After all, it was a favor for him, Chen Qiaoshan was not embarrassed to trouble the other party too much, he was also a little helpless, in the middle of the night, I was afraid that there would be a toss.
Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
