Kyoto, East 3rd Ring Road, 28th Floor, International Trade Center, IDGVC Huaxia Office.

"Shaojie, how is the case of Jindi?" Zhou Quan asked with a serious face.

Zhang Shaojie got up from his seat, "Something is wrong, PICC wants to enter with money and is talking to Xu Shaochun." He still trusts the state unit more than we do. ”

Zhou Quan frowned: "PICC, they are also engaged in venture capital now?"

Zhang Shaojie nodded: "I heard that a department was set up to do this, saying that it was to find a value-added channel for insurance funds." ”

Zhou Quan said angrily: "Isn't this nonsense? There is no country in the world that allows insurance companies to get involved in venture capital business, and the People's Bank of China has no explanation?"

Zhang Shaojie also sighed: "Now there are no relevant regulations for insurance companies, and it is said that a special insurance company supervision department will be established next year to separate the regulatory responsibility of insurance companies from the People's Bank of China, similar to the China Securities Regulatory Commission, called the Insurance Regulatory Commission." So at this time, the pedestrian bank didn't really want to care about it. ”

Zhou Quan pondered for a moment: "Does Zack know about this?"

Zhang Shaojie nodded: "You were on a business trip at last week's regular meeting, but I didn't attend, so I reported it." ”

Zhou Quan asked, "Then what did he say?"

Zhang Shaojie replied honestly: "He said he knew." ”

Got it? That's it?

Zhou Quan frowned slightly: "You make an appointment with Xu Shaochun, and I'll talk to him again." ”

In any case, Zhou Quan is still very optimistic about the Golden Disc project, the founder has a technical background, an excellent management team, and a large market potential, but the competition is almost blank.

Zhang Shaojie's winning streak should be, he understands very well that Zhou Quan is so concerned about his project, not only for his good, but also because of the peak duel he did with Shen Nanpeng before.

Zhou Quan didn't want to lose.

In one year, for venture capital, there is actually no achievement. Therefore, the standards of their assessment are completely set according to OKRs, which is very fair to both parties.

As for Zhang Chen, at least on the surface, it seems to be fair to both sides. The opportunity to report the computer was given to Zhou Quan's team, and the project of Spark Media was given to Shen Nanpeng.

Before Zhang Shaojie could call Xu Shaochun, Xu Shaochun's phone called, saying that he wanted to talk to the person in charge of IDG again.

"Let's talk?" Zhou Quan immediately realized that there was a problem with the PICC, and raised his hand to call his friends in the People's Bank.

"Li Bo, have you made any recent moves on insurance?" Zhou Quan said straight to the point.

"I haven't heard of any movement. Soon the insurance will not be in our hands, and what can happen at this time. Zhou Quan's friend said lazily.

Zhou Quan asked: "Didn't you define the scope of insurance business in more detail?"

"Ah, I remembered when you said that. Zhou Quan's friend patted his head, "Two days ago, the bank issued an official document, asking insurance companies to strictly control risks and not use insurance funds to participate in high-risk investment operations. There are a total of five categories and thirty-one sub-categories. There have been similar regulations before, but this time there are just a few additions, and nothing has changed much. ”

Zhou Quan muttered: "There is no provision that insurance companies are not allowed to participate in venture capital?"

Zhou Quan's friend couldn't be sure: "Wait for me to find it for you, ah, here, I found it, it's really there." What's wrong?"

Zhou Quan immediately said: "No, just ask, thank you, go back and get together, I'll have a treat." ”

Zhou Quan's friend cut off: "Turn back, you don't know where to go back this time." ”

Zhou Quan laughed and hung up the phone.

Zhou Quan called Zhang Shaojie to the office, and his face was happy: "After checking clearly, the People's Bank of China has issued a letter to the insurance industry, and insurance funds are not allowed to get involved in venture capital. This time you have to seize the opportunity to get this project off as soon as possible. ”

Of course, Zhao Shaojie was even happier when he heard it, but he muttered again: "This is too coincidental, right? ”

Zhou Quan's heart moved, and he patted Zhang Shaojie's shoulder, "Don't think about these useless things, hurry up and get to work." ”

After driving Zhang Shaojie away, Zhou Quan pondered for a long time and dialed Zhang Chen's phone: "Zack, report something to you." The People's Insurance put the gold disc in its hands, well, yes, of course it can be taken down. ”

After talking about the feasibility of the project, Zhou Quan cut to the chase: "I heard that the PICC gave up this time because the People's Bank of China issued an official document to various insurance companies, prohibiting participation in high-risk investments, which specifically stated the equity investment of non-listed companies. ”

Zhang Chen's reaction was very flat, just sighed, Zhou Quan couldn't get it for sure, and simply asked directly: "Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

Zhang Chen smiled: "A few days ago, Meng Qinglin from the People's Bank of China came to San Francisco, I had a meal with him, and by the way, he also felt that the risk of insurance companies involved in venture capital was too high, and it was easy to cause systemic risks in the insurance industry." However, I didn't expect him to move so fast. ”

Zhou Quan took a deep breath, I'll go, Meng Qinglin is the real director of the Financial Market Department of the People's Bank of China, Zhang Chen can actually get him with a meal, this kind of relationship energy is really terrifying.

Zhang Chen said casually: "Actually, this is also a matter of time, but venture capital has just appeared in China, and the People's Bank of China has not yet introduced a response plan, even if it does not come out this month, it will come out next month, it's not a big deal." ”

Zhou Quan understands very well that what Zhang Chen said seems to be an understatement, but this matter is really not something that anyone can promote.

And so quickly, this shows that at the level of financial policy, Zhang Chen has a considerable right to speak.

The most important thing is that from this incident, Zhang Chen did not favor either side in the competition between himself and Shen Nanpeng, although he had a head-on conflict with him, but there were difficulties in the project, Zhang Chen also helped to solve them, from this point of view, he was convinced.

"Ah, yes. Zhou Quan was thinking about it, but heard Zhang Chen say, "In a few days, the deadline for this year is almost up." The statistical results of everyone's OKR indicators have come out, Liu Ai's indicators are far ahead, and the completion rate is also the highest, I suggest that Liu Ai be promoted to be a new GP, what do you mean?"

Zhou Quan just wanted to say something, but the words came to his lips, but they became: "I have no opinion, Zack, I lost this bet with Neil." ”

Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "No matter what wins or loses, they are all comrades-in-arms in the trench." Although Zhang Shaojie lost to Liu Ai, your management ability and project operation ability are no worse than anyone else's. China's equity investment market has just emerged, and there will definitely be more and more opportunities in the future, and our spring has just arrived. ”

It's too late to get off work today, and it's a double shift tomorrow.
