Chapter 521: Coercion and Temptation
Li Xiaojun thought it was a private meeting and communication, so he rushed over alone, and when he arrived at the café on the top floor of the building, he saw Chen Qiaoshan looking at the river in the distance in a daze.
The Wujiang River passes through the city, the urban area is divided into two, now it is night, the north and south banks are as bright as day, only the place where the river passes is dark, and the fog is heavy and nothing can be seen clearly.
Seeing that someone had arrived, Dong Qifeng reminded in a low voice: "Manager Li is here." ”
Chen Qiaoshan retracted his gaze at this time, but saw that Li Xiaojun had already approached, so he said: "I'm really embarrassed to trouble Manager Li to go on a special trip." ”
Li Xiaojun ignored his words, counting today, the two have only met twice, and they don't know each other, as soon as they sat down, he asked straight to the point: "Mr. Chen, I don't know why you called me over?"
Chen Qiaoshan smiled: "Don't worry, why don't we order a drink first." ”
After that, he stretched out his hand to summon the waiter, and asked, "Manager Chen, do you want tea or coffee?"
"Coffee bar, I'm still used to the taste of coffee. "Li Xiaojun has been abroad for many years, for Chinese who have no money and no background, only by working harder than Westerners can they gain a firm foothold in the competition, whether it is study or work, staying up late and working overtime is a common thing, and coffee has become a necessary functional drink.
Chen Qiaoshan knew very well that trying to persuade IDG to abandon the original investment plan would not be effective in a few words, and he pondered his rhetoric repeatedly and was not in a hurry to speak.
Li Xiaojun couldn't bear it, and when the waiter left, he asked directly: "Mr. Chen, Tsingshan Capital is also interested in 5173?"
"Of course. Chen Qiaoshan did not hesitate and casually gave an affirmative answer.
Although Zhang Bingxin's methods are not clever, they have brought the situation to the fore.
Li Xiaojun obviously felt the pressure, he just joined IDG, and if he wants to gain a firm foothold in the venture capital field, he must come up with a two-eyed result.
Although the income cycle of venture capital is generally long, with an average of six or seven years to achieve a stable exit, it does not take too long to judge success or failure, and the value of the project can generally be seen before the second round of financing.
Li Xiaojun is optimistic about the development potential of the online game market, so he bet on 5173, but although the project was finally approved, the approved funds are pitiful, and now there is one more competitor, and it is really difficult to say whether it will succeed or fail.
On second thought, he had an idea.
The funds provided by IDG Capital were not enough to support Zhang Bingxin's expansion plan, and Li Xiaojun originally thought that the first fund should only be used for industrial incubation, and then continue to increase investment when the project has progressed, which is very common in the industry.
Now that Tsingshan Capital has stepped in, Zhang Bingxin has some new ideas.
He has neither qualifications nor background in IDG Capital, and it is definitely impossible to raise the quotation, so that the financial advantage will definitely not be able to compete with Chen Qiaoshan.
The first round is not dominant, and the second round is to strive for the lead investment, as long as the project prospects are promising, with the strength of IDG Capital, it is completely possible to rely on the advantage of funds to take the latecomer.
Things are thought out thoroughly, Li Xiaojun has less gains and losses, everyone has money to earn together, in the name of IDG capital, Chen Qiaoshan should not refuse the proposal of cooperation, thinking of this, he said: "Mr. Chen, since you also value 5173, you may wish to cooperate on this project, this time with IDG capital to lead the investment, Tsingshan Capital to follow, I don't know what you think?"
Chen Qiaoshan showed a smile on his face, but he seemed to be quite moved, he said: "This is a good idea, Tsingshan Capital is a small family, and it can be regarded as a glory to cooperate with you, but I don't know how to calculate the proportion of investment?"
Li Xiaojun was stunned, he didn't expect Chen Qiaoshan to be so refreshing, and he agreed without thinking about it for a moment, which caught him a little off guard.
He hesitated, the financing terms and the funding situation are all trade secrets, and they must not be rashly disclosed.
In addition, Li Xiaojun also has a layer of concerns, as far as the check he brought this time, it is almost impossible to suppress Tsingshan Capital, if he lets Chen Qiaoshan know the truth and kicks him, this will be a gutter capsizing.
Seeing his hesitation, Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help teasing: "Manager Li, the cooperation was proposed by you, you have to be a little sincere, I am a word for it, since I promised you, I will definitely not regret it, if you don't tell me your company's bid, how can you lead the bid?"
Although Li Xiaojun has nothing to say, he doesn't intend to divulge the truth, his words are unfounded, if he is really caught by Chen Qiaoshan's three or two sentences, he will really be in vain all these years abroad.
"Mr. Chen, why don't I introduce you to the expansion plan of 5173, and we can talk about the issue of funds later. ”
Seeing that Li Xiaojun was not on the set, Chen Qiaoshan did not force it, he was not ready to continue to maneuver, took a sip of the coffee in front of him, and then said, "Manager Li, you may have misunderstood." ”
Li Xiaojun's face changed, and he hurriedly asked, "What, didn't Mr. Chen's previous promise count?"
"Not really. Chen Qiaoshan smiled, and then said: "First of all, I do intend to cooperate with IDG Capital, but there is a premise for this. ”
Li Xiaojun asked, "What premise?"
"I did fancy 5173, but I didn't come to invest, but I wanted to buy it wholly. ”
Li Xiaojun was really surprised, "What, you want to buy 5173?"
Chen Qiaoshan didn't speak, just nodded, which was considered to be admitted.
Li Xiaojun understood, no wonder the other party was not in a hurry to find Zhang Bingxin, but made an appointment with himself, obviously, if you want to talk about acquisition, you must first block the financing channels of 5173, so as to minimize the cost of mergers and acquisitions.
Tsingshan Capital is doing mergers and acquisitions, and IDG Capital is talking about financing, and there is obviously no room for cooperation between the two parties.
Li Xiaojun asked: "Mr. Chen, you talk about your acquisition, and I do my financing, we don't seem to have the need to talk about it, right?"
"Don't worry, let me finish. Chen Qiaoshan said: "In my opinion, the 5173 model needs to be improved, I have read the financing plan made by Zhang Bingxin, which is also full of loopholes, to tell the truth, it is not worth investing a lot of money." ”
Li Xiaojun was slandered in his heart, since he couldn't look at it, why did he come to the door to talk about the acquisition and deceive the ghost, but he was silent on his face, and he had to admit that what Chen Qiaoshan said was very reasonable, and the opinions of several investment directors coincided, and he also wanted to see what Chen Qiaoshan had in mind.
"There is no doubt that the online game market has broad prospects, and the corresponding trading platform should not be bad, and Manager Li also knows that I am not just an investment, Kangsheng, a mess and NSFOCUS are all my industries. ”
"I intend to enter the online game trading platform, there are two plans, one is to make a new one, it takes a long time, and the other is to acquire one, the cost is a little higher, but the efficiency is outstanding, I personally value efficiency more, so I am eyeing 5173. ”
"Since it's about acquisitions, and Tsingshan Capital is not bad for money, what do you mean by finding me?" Li Xiaojun's words were thorny, and he didn't have to think about it to know that Chen Qiaoshan came to the door, just to persuade him to quit, he was busy for more than a month, and Jinhua alone ran twice.
Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "The reason why I invited you here is because I want to cooperate with IDG Capital." ”
Li Xiaojun questioned: "How to cooperate?"
"It's very simple, IDG Capital has put on hold on to its investment plan, and it is not too late for us to discuss cooperation after I complete the merger and acquisition first. ”
Li Xiaojun was laughed at angrily, this person really dared to think.
Once Chen Qiaoshan completes the acquisition, there is no need to ask, and then I want to invest it is probably not a small number, Tsingshan Capital is not bad for money, and there is absolutely no possibility of fat water outflow, even if you want to cooperate with IDG Capital, I am afraid that the financing amount will be astronomical.
"Mr. Li, instead of tossing like this, I might as well directly invest in 5173, which is the same for early and late investment, and there is no additional benefit to IDG Capital. ”
Chen Qiaoshan's face was solemn, and he said with a straight face: "Manager Li, you'd better think about it." ”
"It's not that 5173 can't be invested, but I have to remind you that the trading platform is set. ”
"I don't have to buy, if IDG Capital is not willing to cooperate and insists on this investment plan, then I can only start from scratch, since I can't be a friend, I can only be a competitor. ”
This is very polite, and it is almost like saying that you are either a friend or an enemy.
In the face of this almost threatening attitude, Li Xiaojun couldn't help but feel angry, who is this, if venture capitalists meet Chen Qiaoshan, they have to scold their mother.
Dong Qifeng was also dizzy, the boss was really bullish, and he didn't even pay attention to the people of IDG Capital.
He was also a little worried in his heart, Chen Qiaoshan was rich, but there was definitely no way to compare with IDG.
IDG Capital is the most senior investment institution in China's investment community, and its tentacles involve almost all industrial chains, if they are offended, it will obviously not have too good results.
Li Xiaojun also had a little temper, "Mr. Li, are you threatening me?"
"How is it a threat?" Chen Qiaoshan looked wronged, but instantly changed to a tough expression, "5173 is the first online game trading platform in China, there is no technical monopoly in this industry, to put it bluntly, whoever starts quickly will benefit." ”
"Of course, there are no absolutes. ”
After a pause, Chen Qiaoshan continued: "If the acquisition is too difficult, I won't mind starting from scratch, instead of spending 10 million to buy a semi-finished product, it is better to build a new shelf with 2 million, and then spend 800 to promote." ”
Li Xiaojun was silent, and he was also weighing the pros and cons.
Chen Qiaoshan ignored him, and said to himself: "Kangsheng now has its own advertising alliance, and there are more than 100,000 personal stations under it, Yahoo and Du are vying to talk about cooperation with us, and it is easy to divert traffic to the new platform." ”
"To put it mildly, even if it takes some time to build a new station, I have enough confidence to crush 5173, Manager Li, no one wants to get along with money, I advise you to think clearly, whether to cooperate with us and jointly expand the market, or continue to bet on 5173 and make a failed investment?"
Li Xiaojun couldn't help but feel angry, if it was a threat at the beginning, now it is a blatant war letter, he wants to refuse it hardly, but if he thinks about it carefully, he is a little depressed.
He knew in his heart that what Chen Qiaoshan said was not unreasonable, investment is for profit, not for gambling, and it seems that he can only endure this tone.
