Chapter 453: Sacrificial Flag

Chen Qiaoshan was not surprised by the market's stress reaction.

Since the bursting of the dot-com bubble, more than half of the funders who used to wave dollars to find projects have decreased, and financing has become a very difficult thing, and the problem is not a matter of a day or two.

In fact, the market is not without capital, the main reason is that after a round of reshuffle, risk aversion is more serious, and venture capital prefers mature projects to avoid unnecessary risks.

Chen Qiaoshan just saw this, he couldn't take out a large amount of money to compete for mature projects, but it was perfect to be an angel investment.

Due to the timing just right, with the blessing of the webmaster conference, the market's response even exceeded expectations.

In the afternoon, the venture capital exchange will be arranged in the multi-purpose hall of the VIP building, which can accommodate nearly 200 people, which was originally enough, but after the news spread, the admission tickets were sold out in an instant, and hundreds of people were blocked at the door.

The incident happened suddenly, in order to avoid causing trouble, Liu Chang had to coordinate urgently and temporarily changed the location to the main venue of the Juying Hall of the Friendship Palace, which brought the situation under control.

"Can you not engage in this kind of surprise attack in the future, what if something happens?" Liu Chang finally suppressed the matter, and naturally had to find trouble with Chen Qiaoshan.

Chen Qiaoshan said: "It's no wonder that I, I have a problem to go to those code farmers, I want to go crazy for money, I want to empty gloves for white wolves when I have nothing, really I am doing charity?"

"You can't be more restrained, and hide the ugly face of your capitalists as soon as possible. Liu Chang complained, and then said to Tuo Xiaoxue: "See, this is the true face of your boss, you have to see it clearly." ”

Tuo Xiaoxue's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly said, "Sister Chang, isn't it also your boss?"

Liu Chang smiled when he heard this, but he didn't say anything more, but he sighed secretly in his heart.

She was already clear-minded, and she had graduated for several years, so she naturally knew the world very well, how could she not see that Tuo Xiaoxue's reaction was too sensitive, and she obviously missed the point.

Originally, it was just an ordinary joke, but Tuo Xiaoxue was in a hurry to get rid of it, not because she wanted to cover it up, even if she didn't have other thoughts, but people's subconscious reactions couldn't deceive people.

Liu Chang glanced at Tuo Xiaoxue without a trace, if he wants to have a figure, he has to look good, and he is not weaker than Yan Xiaoqin, and he is good at winning.

Liu Chang shook her head unconsciously, she knew that some things couldn't tell right from wrong, and if she wanted to blame, she could only blame Chen Qiaoshan for being too good, even if she was five or six years younger, she would be afraid that it would be difficult to resist, compared with her peers, this one was really outstanding.

……

In the afternoon, Chen Qiaoshan was the guest of honor and could not be absent, and Zhou Zhengning was also present, which provided an opportunity for entrepreneurs to communicate directly with venture capital.

When he arrived at the venue, Chen Qiaoshan found that there might be some deviations in the matter, and there were not only code farmers attending the meeting, but also many reporters with long guns and short guns.

Chen Qiaoshan asked: "What's the situation, except for the opening ceremony, I remember that there were no reporters for other exchange meetings, right?"

Liu Chang was also very puzzled, "No, there were no such people in Lao Wang's scene in the morning." ”

"Forget it, it's the last one, love come, it doesn't cost money anyway. ”

Having said that, Chen Qiaoshan's heart was always hanging, and he had a feeling that these people should be not good.

He has already taken the time to read the report of 17tech, and it can only be said that he is trying his best to discredit it, Chen Qiaoshan doesn't need to think about it, and he knows that the result is nothing more than two kinds, one is to use money to do things for others, and the other is to extort money.

Twenty minutes before leaving, several people went directly to the VIP lounge.

Zhou Zhengning had already arrived, and Chen Qiaoshan said very embarrassedly: "Mr. Zhou, I really neglected you to let you wait here." ”

Zhou Zhengning smiled: "It's okay, I just arrived." ”

Liu Chang smiled and started the round, "Mr. Zhou, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your Mandarin level is much higher." ”

"Really?" Zhou Zhengning's smile on his face was even better, even if he was Chinese, in order to change his accent, he didn't work hard, wanting to enter the domestic market, which is also one of the basic skills.

Chen Qiaoshan said: "Definitely, I think you might as well take a Mandarin level certificate, and you can go back and make a phone quote." ”

After chatting for a while, a woman knocked on the door and entered the room, reminding, "It's almost time, a few people can get ready to enter." ”

Chen Qiaoshan said: "Then let's go in." ”

Zhou Zhengning stood up, and when he followed Chen Qiaoshan into the front desk, he suddenly said: "Mr. Chen, when is it convenient for you to talk about cooperation?"

Chen Qiaoshan has made a lot of arrangements recently, thought about it for a while and said: "It's been busy in the last few days, otherwise, after the fifteenth, it's your time." ”

He really can't pull away, he hasn't gone home yet, not only his three younger sisters, but even Chen's mother has opinions, and he has to talk to the teams of more than a dozen other projects one by one, and he will definitely not be able to leave for a while.

"No problem, then I'll go back and ask the secretary to confirm the itinerary with you. ”

When he arrived on the stage, Chen Qiaoshan glanced at it, compared with the opening ceremony, the number of people was one-third less, and he thought that those who knew that they had no hope of getting financing had left.

The agenda of the previous meeting was very simple, Chen Qiaoshan and Zhou Zhengning first introduced Tsingshan Capital and JAFCO Asia respectively, and then praised each other, even if it was perfunctory.

"Now let's go to the question session, we put the choice in the hands of Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhou, please keep order. The hostess confessed a few words, and then left the stage.

Chen Qiaoshan knew that the main event was coming, and with the microphone in hand, he was also brewing emotions.

"In the fifth row, the one in the black T-shirt, yes, that's you. ”

Messing with code farmers all day long, Chen Qiaoshan can naturally tell who is a reporter and who is a programmer.

The first one to be picked was a somewhat thin man, who took the microphone handed over by the staff, he held up an A4 piece of paper and asked, "I want to ask Mr. Chen, is this financing agreement real?"

Not surprisingly, the first question was thrown to Chen Qiaoshan.

That agreement can be said to be the most sincere financing plan ever, and it is also the focus of everyone's attention, as soon as the question came out, the audience was quiet and waiting for the answer.

Chen Qiaoshan had already prepared, he cleared his throat, and then turned on the microphone switch and said: "I know, you will definitely ask this question, then I will give a unified answer here, this financing agreement is true." ”

The atmosphere in the venue suddenly changed, which is undoubtedly a great news, there are not a few entrepreneurial ideas, waiting for rice to be cooked abounds, Tsingshan Capital undoubtedly provides a rare financing opportunity.

There was a lot of discussion on the field, even if Chen Qiaoshan confirmed it, many people still had doubts.

Everyone understands the truth that pies will not fall from the sky, and venture capital is also for profit, and the conditions are too loose to be convincing.

Chen Qiaoshan knocked on the microphone, and when the discussion subsided, he said: "Since it's all said and done, I might as well say a few more words to everyone." ”

"I can clearly tell you that the financing agreement between Tsingshan Capital, Douban and Kuxun.com has been signed, and this agreement template is used. ”

"Because of the confidentiality clause, it is not convenient for me to show the authenticity of the contract, but I can guarantee that everything I say is true. ”

A man in the first row suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "No, isn't it a donkey trace net, where did a Douban pop up?"

As soon as they heard this, everyone in the audience suddenly couldn't sit still and questioned one after another.

Chen Qiaoshan was not in a hurry to stop it, and when he calmed down a little, he spoke: "This question is actually very simple, Yang Bo felt that it was not good to call a donkey, so he changed it to Douban." ”

There was a burst of laughter below, this reason must make sense, as soon as the news was announced yesterday, many people had this kind of argument, and now it's okay, people directly changed their names.

Chen Qiaoshan continued: "Of course, I don't think the name Douban is much better. ”

There was a burst of laughter below, a small joke, but it made the atmosphere of the venue a lot more lively.

"By the way, I want to tell you,Douban's website architecture has been tested,Yang Bo assured me,It will be launched within a month at the earliest,Then I will let the old Dong of the laggard send a notice on the forum,You might as well take a look,If you are interested,The big guy also helped to do a publicity by the way,How to say that it is also the first product of this webmaster meeting,It's all peers.,Help.,Help if you can.。 ”

"Okay, as long as Douban is launched, we will definitely help with the publicity. ”

"We do it too. ”

"Count me in. ”

……

There was another commotion in the audience, and Chen Qiaoshan didn't stop it, but Zhou Zhengning saw some fame.

All of you here are the webmasters of all kinds of personal stations, even if only one percent helps to do the publicity, the audience of the promotion may be hundreds of thousands, the real situation may be more than this, a few simple words, it is an excellent advertisement for Douban, not to mention saving a lot of promotion costs, the effect is definitely not bad, this brain turns, there is no one.

"Mr. Chen, how does Tsingshan Capital review the application projects, and what are the specific quantitative indicators?"

The object of the second person's question was Chen Qiaoshan, and he had no choice but to continue: "The audit is actually very simple, that is, senior Internet people conduct a feasibility analysis of the project book to judge the value of the project. ”

"As for the quantitative criteria you mentioned, there are many, and I will only say the most important point here, which is innovation, and only innovation can develop. ”

"So what is innovation, can't non-innovative projects get financing?"

Chen Qiaoshan said: "This is the second question, for the sake of fairness, let's give the opportunity to the next questioner." ”

The second questioner didn't insist, but what made people speechless was that the third person turned the topic back and still asked the question just now, which made the audience laugh.

Chen Qiaoshan was also speechless, but when it came to this, he was not afraid.

"What is innovation? It is to do something that no one else has ever done, even if it is just to start small and improve the user experience step by step, which is also a kind of innovation, micro-innovation. ”

All kinds of problems followed, all rushing to Chen Qiaoshan, making him tired of coping, and Zhou Zhengning was also happy to be idle, watching Chen Qiaoshan quote scriptures and fight the Confucianism.

"Competitors are like whetstones, we sharpen ourselves first, and then we cut off our competitors with a knife......"

"Entrepreneurship is to do what others have not done, to do what others have done but have not done successfully, we must have the courage to challenge......

……

With the increase of exchanges, Chen Qiaoshan burst out a few golden sentences in his mouth, and there was a burst of laughter or applause from time to time in the venue, and the atmosphere became more and more high.

Chen Qiaoshan's mouth was dry, and while he was asking questions, he hurriedly said: "I apply for a break, drink saliva, and if I continue to talk about it, I will probably be speechless tomorrow." ”

There was another burst of good-natured laughter below, and after a pause, Chen Qiaoshan said again: "Don't stare at me, Mr. Zhou is the real God of Wealth, and the venture funds under JAFCO Asia are all nine-figure, or US dollars." ”

Zhou Zhengning also couldn't cry or laugh, the reason why he came here today was to stand on the platform for Chen Qiaoshan, so as to pave the way for the next cooperation.

As for financing, it is basically impossible, unless he reaches a cooperation with Tsingshan Capital, he will not get involved in Internet investment, which is not an area he is good at.

Seeing that Chen Qiaoshan really took a bottle of water handed by the staff, Zhou Zhengning had to turn on the microphone and said, "Then I'll come, if there is anything wrong, please ask Mr. Chen to add." ”

There was another burst of laughter from the audience, but it was quite joyful.

"The one on the far left in the fourth row. ”

Habitually, Zhou Zhengning ordered a man who was dressed relatively formally.

There are hundreds of people here, most of them are casual T-shirts, and it is rare to see them wearing formal shirts, so he picked one at a glance.

Chen Qiaoshan's eyes stared, it was really a coincidence, Zhou Zhengning was the first to point to a famous reporter, although he didn't see the camera, but there are many people, it is rare to see a pen and paper in his hand.

Sure enough, as soon as he got the microphone, the man asked: "I want to confirm with Mr. Chen, Tsingshan Capital is said to be Hong Kong-funded, have you got the approval?"

Chen Qiaoshan's heart sank, he was really afraid of something.

In the current "Company Law", there is not even a clear concept of equity, and the joint-stock system and public-private partnership in the past have developed to the present, replacing "equity" with "capital contribution", which shows the lag of the financial environment.

Correspondingly, the control of foreign investment is also quite strict.

Chen Qiaoshan couldn't come up with $2 million at all, so naturally there was no way to apply to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, and there was definitely no formalities.

Liu Chang has been on the sidelines, she is one of the few people who knows the truth, she knows what to do, she hurriedly picked up a microphone and reminded: "This questioner, please don't waste the opportunity, this time it is Mr. Zhou who answers." ”

Seeing that the reporter was about to speak again, Chen Qiaoshan opened the microphone first, "I can answer this question, it can be regarded as taking advantage of Mr. Zhou again." ”

The words are very relaxed, but Chen Qiaoshan knows that these pens are not easy to get along with, and the conflict with the media seems to be unavoidable.

The barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, not to mention that he now represents the capital side and has obvious advantages.

Now that they have all come to the forefront, they might as well be high-profile, Chen Qiaoshan has made up his mind, and he will take these media people to sacrifice the flag today.
