Chapter 122: A Looming Path
[34.], to provide you with wonderful reading.
Originally, according to the process, if a venture capital wants to invest in a company, the first thing it needs is to value and inspect the company.
Then send someone to contact the company and indicate the intention to invest.
After that, a person in charge will be sent to discuss the details.
In the end, it was the main person in charge who signed the contract in the past.
But today, Watanabe Left Bank did not let the secretary contact TX until he got on the plane.
Although the time was rushed and the preparation was inadequate, Watanabe Left Bank was not at all worried that he would run in vain this time.
On the contrary, he has full confidence that after going over in person this time, he will be able to give away the first investment within half a day.
Just because behind Watanabe's left bank is the Universe Capital Group, he has 100% confidence in this investment.
Oh, isn't it to make money in a company, and I, I have money!
Soon, a private jet from Watanabe Left Bank landed at XY City Airport.
At the same time, Zhang Fugui, who received the news, also rushed into Banyuanjun's office in a hurry.
"Old, boss, Yu, cosmic venture capital, venture capital is coming, we have money!" Zhang Fugui said incoherently excitedly.
"Don't get excited, let's talk slowly, what's going on?" asked Banyuanjun with a puzzled expression.
"Watanabe Left, the person in charge of the Asia-Pacific region of Cosmos Fund, personally came to our XY City, the purpose is to invest in our Tencent! I just got off the plane and is rushing to our side! I heard that the road is full of reporters who have heard the wind!" Zhang Fugui said quickly.
Banyuanjun frowned, and then asked a little angrily: "Who is the venture capital contact? Why don't I know about this at all?"
"Boss! It's not us who contacted us, it's him who found it himself! It must be that our QQ has been on the news for the past few days, which has attracted his attention, so he can't wait to find it! The general person in charge of the Asia-Pacific region of Universe Capital came in person, which is a great affirmation of our company! This also shows that they are very optimistic about the prospects of our company, so this time we can kill them well!" Zhang Fugui said with a red face.
Unlike Zhang Fugui's excited appearance, Banyuanjun not only did not get excited, but frowned.
Venture capital, what bullshit venture capital, I don't need to be good or bad at all.
I don't lack money, and I don't need to rely on your network, so I don't need you to invest in me.
However, although there is no need to invest, Banyuanjun's heart is still a little uneasy.
Its own farm mall has not yet been launched, and the company has not yet shown its ability to make a profit, so it has been noticed by venture capital.
Originally, this kind of thing, pay attention to it, after all, in less than half a month, there are 50 million registered users, which is simply promising.
But all of a sudden, a general person in charge of the Asia-Pacific region came, which made Banyuanjun a little worried.
How could someone of this weight possibly pay attention to a small company emerging in a small place?
Could it be that they saw something?
Thinking of this, Banyuanjun said: "Do you know why they chose to invest in our company?"
"I don't know, but at this time, the news should come out!" The excitement on Zhang Fugui's face had not yet dissipated, and he shook his head.
Banyuanjun turned on the computer and searched for XY TV station. One o'clock in, Guo is broadcasting an interview with Watanabe Left Bank who suddenly came to XY this time.
The female reporter interviewed was a local, and it was probably the first time she had faced such a big person, and her voice seemed a little trembling when she spoke.
"Mr. Watanabe, what is the reason for you to come to a small place like our XY?" asked the female reporter.
"I came here with only one purpose, and that is to meet Mr. Tencent, and I am very interested in him!" Watanabe said with a smile.
Hearing his words, the female reporter asked in surprise: "Although Tencent has been in the limelight recently, its current scale is not large, compared with the company you usually invest in, it is like a baby, how can such a company bother you to come in person?"
Watanabe explained: "Actually, before yesterday, I didn't take Tencent seriously, although they were interested in it because of the speed of their user growth, but the investment can be done by my staff." However, there was an incident yesterday that made me change my view of Tencent, when I learned about Tencent's information in detail, I saw that Tencent has a strong potential, which also made me have a strong interest in Tencent's CEO, which led me to turn down today's arrangement and make a special trip here to meet Tencent's CEO. ”
The female reporter asked puzzledly: "What is it that makes you suddenly value Tencent so much?"
Watanabe left bank smiled at the corner of his mouth slanted: "That is, Tencent QQ gave up adding ads to its own products, and played the slogan of putting user experience first!"
Hearing his words, the female reporter asked even more puzzled: "Is there anything worth paying attention to?" If advertising revenue is abandoned, then the network communication industry will lose all ways to create revenue, and an enterprise will not be able to persist even if there are more users, right?"
Watanabe shook his head and said, "You can look at the top 10 companies on the Internet, no matter what they do, they all have one thing in common, that is, they believe in the concept of user first. With this concept, Tencent QQ has the capital to become bigger and stronger. However, it is not enough to have a concept alone, the reason that really attracted me to XY is because I have studied the development history of Tencent QQ in detail, in just half a month, it has 50 million users, and the number of users is still growing rapidly, which is so far, no Internet company can do it.
Ordinary people, after reading this news, will only sigh that Tencent QQ is very lucky, but I am different, I have seen a Tencent QQ that strategizes to win thousands of miles!"
The female reporter was confused and said, "Mr. Watanabe's Chinese is really good, but I still haven't understood, can you explain it to us in detail?"
Watanabe Left Bank said: "It's okay, then I'll explain it to you, there is one thing that everyone must know, that is, Tencent bought ten servers in one go at the beginning of its establishment." As we all know, do network communication industry, the demand for servers is not high, if the economic foundation is poor, three or five ordinary computers with better performance can act as a network communication company with millions of users of the server, after all, the network communication industry, the requirements for the server are not high.
The ten servers purchased by Tencent are all the best in performance, the most capable, and the top servers in the industry, and the price is also very expensive, and the price of a single server is above one million! Ten servers are worth tens of millions!
Some time ago, Tencent QQ's competitor YY, with server upgrades as a gimmick, broke through 100,000 daily registered users in one fell swoop, the server they replaced, I don't say much about the price, but in terms of performance, compared with the ten servers purchased by Tencent, it is not even as good as one-fifth.
From this point, it is not difficult to see that Tencent's success is not accidental, but inevitable by their calculations, otherwise, they would not have purchased so many servers at the beginning!
After all, no one or company can spend tens of millions of dollars to do useless things. ”
The female reporter was surprised and said: "Oh my God! Do you mean that when the people of the whole country are not optimistic about the network communication industry, and when Tencent's products have not yet been launched, they are ready for the product to catch fire, so they have purchased so many servers in advance for backup?"
Watanabe said: "That's right, it can be seen from this point that the future direction of Tencent is in their hands, and it also shows that their company leaders have a very long-term vision."
Of course, if I just had a long-term vision, it wasn't enough for me to come in person, but in the materials, I found some other things, and that's what interests me the most. ”
"Mr. Watanabe, what is it that interests you so much?" the female reporter hurriedly asked.
Watanabe Left Bank smiled mysteriously and said, "That's a derivative of QQ, QQ Farm!"
"QQ Farm? Mr. Watanabe, you also know QQ Farm! I also play there, I'm level 9! I still have fifteen packets of fertilizer saved!" The female reporter finally heard a topic she was familiar with, and hurriedly said excitedly.
Watanabe Zuoan shook his head and said: "I'm not talking about the game itself of QQ Farm, but from it, I vaguely see a different path from the development of network communication, in the past, the reason why people do not develop the potential of network communication, the main reason is that there is no reliable way to make money in the network communication industry." No matter how many users there are, at most, they can only use traffic to collect advertising fees, and if they don't do well, they will even lose money.
But from the QQ farm derived from QQ, I vaguely found a road, let me just think about it, I feel shocked and excited, this road, may make the network communication industry have earth-shaking changes, if the operation is good, and even will definitely completely emerging the network communication industry!
It's just that because the difficulty is too high and the risk is too high, I thought about it all morning, and I didn't have a clue what Tencent was going to do next. It is for this reason that I decided to come and meet the mysterious president of Tencent in person.
This time, I have brought a billion yuan of funds, and if Tencent's answer can satisfy me, I am willing to use this billion or even more money in exchange for 51% of Tencent's shares!"
The female reporter didn't understand what the vague road at Watanabe's left bank mouth meant.
But it didn't prevent her from hearing the one billion that Watanabe Left Bank said about.
That's a billion dollars! I can't get a prize money for doing a million interviews!
But these billion, in exchange for an answer from the mouth of Tencent Banzong, the world of rich people is simply unreasonable!
At this moment, the female journalist felt that poverty really limited her imagination.
That's the end of the interview.
Banyuanjun sat in his chair and fell into deep contemplation.
It seems that there is no shortage of highly intelligent people in this world!
Not to mention anything else, this one is called Watanabe Left Bank, and its sense of smell is really sensitive.
His QQ was just a beginning, and he found something unusual in it, and immediately looked for it regardless of his identity.
Whether it is vision or execution, it is first-class.
It is no wonder that such a person can become the head of the Asia-Pacific region of the world's largest venture capital consortium.
It's a pity that in Banyuanjun's view, he is destined to run in vain this time! Mobile phone users please browse m. to read, a better reading experience.
