In fact, the valuation of a project, or the valuation of a company, can go up or down, but usually entrepreneurs and investors will have a future expectation for the project, the most important thing is the amount of funds needed to lay the market in advance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This app about toilet search, according to Zheng Xu's idea, is to be launched simultaneously across the country, and the first step is to four first-tier cities and major provincial capitals, plus some more important economic cities and tourist cities. In this way, there will be more than 50 cities in the country to be launched simultaneously, and there is still some demand for funds.
Referring to the opinions given by Zhang Meimei, she believes that the overall valuation of this project can reach 2 million to 3 million, and the amount of funds will also determine the subsequent development of this project, so Shi Lei decided to value Zheng Xu according to 3 million. Zheng Xu's company has nothing, but he and his girlfriend, two employees, basically can't think about it.
The valuation has already been set, and now Shi Lei has enough independent funds in his hands, so he made a phone call to Zheng Xu.
After receiving Shi Lei's call, Zheng Xu once again showed excitement, and he also forced the jump in his heart and chose to answer.
"Mr. Shi, have you decided?"
Shi Lei could hear the excitement in Zheng Xu's words, and said, "Yes, it has already been decided." Well, let's meet. ”
Zheng Xu was overjoyed.
If Shi Lei wants to reject him, then there is no need to meet at all, just say "I'm sorry, I'm not optimistic about the prospects of this project" on the phone to end all Zheng Xu's fantasies. But since he chose to meet, it means that this is to enter the negotiation stage.
However, Zheng Xu still wanted to confirm, so he asked again: "Mr. Shi, can I know first, have you decided to invest in me?"
Shi Lei smiled slightly and said, "If you don't plan to invest, why bother to meet." Investment is investment, but there are many things that we need to meet and talk about in detail. ”
Zheng Xu didn't say anything on the other end of the phone, he waved his fist fiercely at the air, and then silently told his girlfriend with his mouth that Shi Lei had agreed to invest.
His girlfriend immediately cheered, Shi Lei also heard some on the phone, and said: "Calm down your emotions, I know you will definitely be a little excited, but, next, into the negotiation stage, I hope to hear more of your ideas." Regarding the future marketing and promotion of this APP, I already know about it in the USB drive you gave me, and I want to know more than that. So, I'll give you time, you think about it, and when you're sure, call me again, and we'll meet, how about it?"
Zheng Xu almost blurted out that he could do it now, but after thinking about it, it was right, when others asked for angel investment, at least the company's framework had been built, but he was almost starting from scratch, perhaps, Shi Lei wanted to hear his plan on how to build the company.
After calming down his emotions, Zheng Xu said, "Okay, Mr. Shi, I will call you tomorrow at the latest." ”
"OK! Shi Lei hung up the phone directly.
Early the next morning, Shi Lei received a call from Zheng Xu, in fact, he and his girlfriend have been dealing with things about the company's construction since they received Shi Lei's call, and even the office space has been found, although it is remote, the price is low, and it is a brand new industrial park, and the other party promises that it can reduce property fees, management fees, and water and electricity bills to a certain extent. Including future employees, Zheng Xu also has a plan, and also contacted two former colleagues, both of whom left the previous company with him, nearly a year, their situation is not particularly good, I heard that Zheng Xu may get venture capital, and he is willing to help him start a business with envy.
Of course, they didn't say anything on the phone, the two still made an appointment at Shu Coffee, and in view of Zheng Xu's unbearable mood, Shi Lei also agreed to go immediately.
It was still Zheng Xu who arrived first, and Shi Lei suspected that he had already gone out when he was on the phone, and even he had already ordered coffee for Shi Lei, the same as Shi Lei's latte last time.
It seems that this is going to enter the rhythm of negotiation at the beginning, Zheng Xu can't wait, half a year of busyness, it will be clear at this moment, it's strange not to be excited.
Tree Coffee is not a business café, unlike the famous foreign brands, such a café is good for napping and chatting, and does not serve breakfast or anything like that. Therefore, the tree coffee in the morning was empty, except for Zheng Xu and Shi Lei, there was no one else, and even the waiters were a little careless.
Shi Lei greeted Zheng Xu with a smile and sat down opposite him.
"Mr. Shi, let's get started. Zheng Xu rubbed his hands, the café had just opened, and the air conditioner had not yet raised the temperature in the room enough, but Shi Lei knew that Zheng Xu rubbed his hands not because of the cold, but because of the excitement in his heart.
Taking a sip of coffee unhurriedly, Shi Lei smiled: "Don't worry, it's all here, we have a long time to talk slowly." After all, when it comes to investment, you really don't need your girlfriend to be there, after all, she is engaged in financial work. Oh, she used to study finance, right?"
Zheng Xu nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, Tingting is studying finance, and she has already passed the qualification for the note." Today, I can decide everything for myself, and I originally discussed it with her. ”
Shi Lei smiled and asked, "Have you eaten in the morning?"
Zheng Xu shook his head embarrassedly, Shi Lei called the waiter and asked if there was anything that could be used as breakfast, and was told that they only had some cakes and desserts here, and Shi Lei ordered two.
was anxious and uneasy, but Shi Lei was unhurried, and Zheng Xu was not too abrupt, so he had to be patient and accompany Shi Lei to finish the cake.
Shi Lei ate it in one bite, but Zheng Xu swallowed the cake in three bites, Shi Lei estimated that he didn't even know what it tasted like.
After eating, Shi Lei took a sip of coffee relaxedly, and said: "Okay, Mr. Zheng, I can see that you are in a hurry, but you must know that after getting the investment, you are not a simple entrepreneur, but need to take on the responsibility of business management." It doesn't matter how big your business is right now, but at least you'll need a few helpers. In such a situation, if your emotions are not calm all the time, it will be difficult for me to trust you and leave the investment to you. ”
Zheng Xu was stunned, and knew that he was a little too impatient, he took a deep breath, looked out the window, and tried to calm down his emotions.
Five minutes later, Zheng Xu looked at Shi Lei with a little apology and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shi, I'm a little too excited." I'm sorry, it's been half a year, I've been turned away by every investor, and now you're finally willing to invest in me, saying that if you're not excited, it must be fake. But your words have been like an empowerment to me, and I can now face it in peace. ”
"Alright, let's get started. The first thing is that after you get the investment, you can't open a mom-and-pop shop with your girlfriend like you are now, and you and your girlfriend's shares must be determined, after all, you are not married and cannot become a shareholder of the company as a family. ”
"We've already assigned that. ”
