Since it was followed by the professional course exam, on Christmas Day, Chen Qiaoshan didn't go anywhere, and stayed in the school study room with Yan Xiaoqin for a day.

Although he didn't go out, Yan Xiaoqin was still happy.

The last time the two went to self-study together was more than half a year ago, Chen Qiaoshan usually doesn't have much free time at all, Yan Xiaoqin knows this very well, and she is willing to spend a whole day with her to review, she is already very satisfied.

In recent years, almost all star-rated hotels in Yanjing have Christmas dinners, and he booked a Christmas package for two at the Tianlun Dynasty Hotel early in the morning.

This five-star hotel is mainly promoting the world's top celebrity chefs this year, although the price of 2588 per person is really not cheap, for the sake of the face of the food, Chen Qiaoshan also recognized it.

But the hope is good, and the two of them have not been able to escape the businessman's routine after all.

"This is made by an international chef? It is estimated that it is the same as the Texas beef noodles last time, and the chef of Lu cuisine is invited to take charge of it, and the taste is not as good as the Russian Western food of Renmin Ximen. Yan Xiaoqin was a little distressed about the extravagant consumption of more than 5,000 yuan for a meal, and his tone was a little picky.

Don't blame Yan Xiaoqin for squeezing, the taste is really not good.

Chen Qiaoshan was also very helpless, "I'm just going to surprise you, who knew that this hotel was so unreliable, we won't come back next time." ”

There must be no surprises, even if you buy a bouquet of roses, it is more emotional than this, but fortunately, Yan Xiaoqin has long been used to it, and there is no romantic factor in Chen Qiaoshan at all.

"Okay, let's pay for a lesson. "Chen Qiaoshan is very self-comforting.

Looking around, the hotel is crowded, although it is a foreign festival, but I haven't seen a few foreigners at all, it seems that the Chinese people are really rich, there are so many routines, there is no shortage of him, so thinking about it, his mood is a lot better.

"Is this a matter of money?" Yan Xiaoqin was speechless, and then muttered: "If you really have money and no place to spend it, why don't you put more on the video?"

A little video is the video website that Yan Xiaoqin is preparing.

Yidian Technology is wholly owned by Chen Qiaoshan, and she simply hangs the website under Yidian Technology as a subsidiary with independent legal personality.

Chen Qiaoshan smiled: "What, the budget of the website is not enough?"

Yan Xiaoqin immediately made a bitter face, easier said than done, although there are ready-made people around to help, but once it comes to practice, there are troubles everywhere.

"I discussed with Sister Chang that after removing the necessary upfront costs, the remaining money is not enough to buy servers and rent bandwidth, and I also have to consider the salaries of employees. ”

Nowadays, the Internet is a popular industry, and the salaries of employees are generally high.

And whether it is IT hardware or software, the price code is ridiculously high, such as mysee, which is still in the testing period, and has burned into millions, and the website has not been officially launched, so it hurriedly started the second round of financing.

Chen Qiaoshan said with a smile: "I don't care about this, we said at the time, to see the complete team and project progress, and then talk about financing, you have nothing now, and it is definitely impossible for me to make additional investment." ”

Yan Xiaoqin was a little depressed, "I can't invest in the bank myself?"

"Don't think about it. Chen Qiaoshan vetoed it.

"The operating cost of the video website is already high, you have to be prepared for long-term losses, only personal funds, how much money is not enough for you to burn, the best way is to get the project on the ground as soon as possible, get a satisfactory user data in a short time, and then go to find follow-up financing. ”

"It's not that simple. Yan Xiaoqin is no longer an ordinary student, although she has not participated much in Chen Qiaoshan's career, but following Liu Chang, she has also learned a lot of things, "If the initial investment is insufficient, it will seriously affect the user experience, insufficient bandwidth will limit the number of users, and promotion also needs funds......

Yan Xiaoqin worked hard, and the questions were all to the point, but he didn't convince Chen Qiaoshan, he knew how fierce the competition of video websites was, and he could only become cannon fodder if he rushed in.

Yan Xiaoqin looked at Chen Qiaoshan with hope, she felt that Chen Qiaoshan must have a way, and now she could only ask his opinion.

Chen Qiaoshan hesitated slightly, but still said: "It is impossible to increase investment, but the problem is not impossible to solve. ”

Yan Xiaoqin was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "What way?" I discussed with Sister Chang for several days, and I didn't have a clue at all. ”

"I will send 300,000 US dollars to the company's account in the name of Tsingshan Capital, and you will take the bank's credit certificate to Inspur or Dell, apply for the qualification of the server, and then go to the telecom operator to apply for a broadband trial, and talk about it one by one, and you can get a buffer period of two to three months at most, so that the funds for promotion are also available. ”

After listening to Chen Qiaoshan's method, Yan Xiaoqin was shocked, there was still this kind of operation?

After thinking for a while, she became suspicious, "If the funds are diverted for publicity, if something goes wrong, what will be used to pay back the rent of servers and bandwidth?"

Chen Qiaoshan spread his hands and said indifferently: "No way, this is entrepreneurship, either life or death!"

"The money is burned, the project can't see the prospects, you can only go bankrupt, you are lucky, at least I am happy to be a pick-up man for you, if it is someone else, you can only go to the sea to work, maybe you will not be able to turn over for the rest of your life." ”

Although he couldn't understand Chen Qiaoshan's cold jokes, this did not prevent Yan Xiaoqin from understanding the dangers of entrepreneurship.

Chen Qiaoshan has always believed that entrepreneurs deserve to be respected because they are under much more pressure than ordinary people.

There is no one in ten on the road to entrepreneurship, and no one's success is a fluke, and it should be remembered.

Seeing that Yan Xiaoqin was silent, Chen Qiaoshan said in an accentuated tone: "You have to think about it carefully, once you do it, there is a possibility that you will go bankrupt, of course, you don't have too much pressure, if you really lose it, I will support you." ”

Although he knew that he was ridiculing, it still made Yan Xiaoqin a lot easier.

After a pause, she couldn't help but confirm: "Is your solution really feasible?"

Seeing that she was really tempted, Chen Qiaoshan was a little surprised, but still said: "It must be feasible, two years ago, Shanda started like this." ”

"You didn't lie to me?" Yan Xiaoqin still had some doubts in his heart, now Shanda is in the limelight, with a market value of more than 2 billion US dollars, which is more than twice that of Sina, and has become the leader of Chinese concept stocks.

"Of course it's true. Chen Qiaoshan said.

Shanda's rise has had its twists and turns, but like all successful people, Shanda also hides the shadow of venture capital.

At the beginning of its establishment, Shanda received an investment of 3 million US dollars from China.com.

The domain name, you can know the status of China.com, and when it comes to this website, there are also many legends.

In July '99, China.com was listed on the NASDAQ and became the first stock of China's concept stock network, and in the following seven months, the stock price soared from $14 to $220, and the market value rose all the way, eventually exceeding $5 billion.

Sadly, in addition to the name of the first network stock, China.com also became the first listed company to file for bankruptcy in the United States.

Around 2000, China.com was still a local tyrant.

Shanda took $3 million in venture capital from China.com, but it didn't last long, and with the bursting of the dot-com bubble, Shanda's virtual gaming community came to an end.

Chen Tianqiao was ready to transform into a game, but did not get the consent of the investor, China.com.

In the end, China.com withdrew the investment, leaving only $300,000 in Shanda's account, and the two sides broke up peacefully.

At the end of 01, Shanda relied on the 300,000 US dollars to apply for a trial server and get two months of free bandwidth service, and then this money was paid to the Korean developer Actoz as the first agency fee of "Legend".

Who would have thought that the operation of the white wolf, which was almost empty, allowed Chen Tianqiao to enter the top three richest people in China in one fell swoop within two years.

With the grand listing, this breakup, along with the breakup of IDG Capital and Tencent, has become the most failed investment case.

The routine can be replicated, and Chen Qiaoshan is convinced of it.

However, video stations are different from game agents, even if they can be successfully launched, whether they can get financing within three months is the test of life and death.

Although she wasn't sure how far Yan Xiaoqin could go, she wanted to try, and Chen Qiaoshan definitely supported it, "How about it, have you thought about it?"

"I thought it through and did it. After Yan Xiaoqin finished speaking, his heart seemed to let go of a thousand catties of burden.

After making up her mind, she felt a little more relaxed, "If I really lose it, I admit it, and I won't toss it in the future, and I will work for you to pay off the debt." ”
