Xu Mingwen thought for a while and said: "I went with Lu Jing that day, Jiaotong University invited Lu Jing to give a speech on stage, the content of the speech is about Internet socialization, Lu Jing is naturally boasting about our campus network, after the speech, Zhou Quan found us, said that he was very interested in the campus network, and talked for an hour, during which he asked us several times if we lacked funds, and I was vague about it, so if we want to raise money, Zhou Quan will definitely be interested. ”

Wang Haoran does not doubt that Zhou Quan is very interested in the campus network, and the sensitivity of Internet angel investors far exceeds that of ordinary people, not to mention that Zhou Quan is one of the best, and such a high-quality website as the campus network can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

Wang Haoran pondered for a moment and said: "That's it, don't worry about it for now, you go back and contact the media and venture capital, release the news, and say that we intend to carry out the first round of financing." ”

The financing matter is the result of careful discussion between Wang Haoran and Xu Mingwen, and if there is no financing, Wang Haoran's existing funds will inevitably slow down the development of the campus network, and Wang Haoran cannot afford to delay.

Today's campus network has no competitors, because many people have not paid attention to social networking sites, in addition to the campus network on the market, there is only one 5Q network that is biased, not a climate, but Wang Haoran knows that it will not be long before QQ space, school intranet and other social networking sites will spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and maybe because of his little butterfly and come out earlier than in his previous life.

Wang Haoran doesn't know much about the 5Q network, but I only remember that this website was squeezed by the school network in the previous life, and it was acquired and merged into the school network by the parent company of the school network not long after it was established.

QQ Space and the intranet have always been Wang Haoran's imaginary enemies, and compared with the intranet of the school, which is backed by capital, and Tencent, which has hundreds of millions of registered users, the campus network can only rely on stupid birds to fly first in order not to be defeated.

If you want a stupid bird to fly first, you need sufficient funds to back it up, and it takes a lot of money to improve the company's welfare in order to retain employees, buy more servers to improve website performance, etc., and Wang Haoran discussed financing with Xu Mingwen two months ago.

Xu Mingwen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll poke out this news in the afternoon, do you have a rough financing plan in mind?" ”

Wang Haoran said: "Five million, 10 percent." ”

Without waiting for Xu Mingwen to speak, Wang Haoran added another sentence: "US dollars." ”

Xu Mingwen was stunned for an instant, since Wang Haoran revealed his idea of financing, Xu Mingwen also thought about how much the campus network was worth in his heart.

Xu Mingwen estimated the price of $5 million for the campus network, which is about the actual value of the campus network, and eight million dollars is a suitable price when considering the development prospects.

You must know that if a venture capitalist accepts the proposal of the campus network valued at $8 million, it means that the campus network is worth $8 million.

At this time, the exchange rate of the US dollar against the renminbi was that one US dollar was equal to more than eight yuan, and eight million US dollars was equivalent to 65 million yuan!

What a concept! This means that Wang Haoran has invested 20 million yuan before and after, which has tripled in about half a year! The combined profits of more than 100 stores in the entire Aihua supermarket have not exceeded this number since their establishment to the present!

Xu Mingwen felt that Wang Haoran had overestimated the campus network a little, and said seriously: "The campus network has not even found a profit model so far, so don't expect too much from this price." ”

Xu Mingwen didn't explicitly say that Wang Haoran was a lion with a big mouth, but Wang Haoran knew what Xu Mingwen meant, shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, I didn't say that I was not allowed to bargain, let's talk slowly!" It's better to make people take advantage of it at a high price than to open a low price to let people take advantage of it! ”

There is another sentence that Wang Haoran didn't say: Although the price is a bit high, it doesn't necessarily mean that no one is interested! For the Internet industry, the value of the price depends entirely on whether the investors and founders have enough judgment on the Internet!

That's the beauty of the internet!

After graduating from junior high school, setting up a navigation website can be worth hundreds of millions in a few years!

Three high school boys rented a house for half a year to develop a game, with an annual income of tens of millions!

A few years after college students founded social networking sites, they became Internet giants with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars!

.............

With the rapid development of the Internet, as long as they are not affected by Wang Haoran, these people will appear one by one in the future.

Xu Mingwen didn't comment much on Wang Haoran's self-confidence, and picked up his mobile phone in front of Wang Haoran and made a call.

"Hey, Mr. Zhang."

"Yo, hello Mr. Xu, why did you remember to call me? Is there a business to take care of me? ”

"There is no business, and you have been advertising for several months, and you don't say that it will be cheaper for me, and now I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and ask you for advice from an old-timer!"

"Then you say, what's the matter? What you can will definitely help! ”

"I want to ask if you know the contact information of angel investors, so it's inconvenient to tell me."

"It's a trivial matter, I really have a lot of phone numbers for these vampires, I'll send you when the call is over! What's the matter, is the campus network ready to start the first round of financing? ”

"Well, then thank you Mr. Zhang, I'll be the east next time we meet!"

"You're welcome, goodbye."

Hanging up the phone, Xu Mingwen exhaled and smiled at Wang Haoran: "Zhang Chaoyang of Sohu, this news is revealed to him, or this news will spread throughout the industry in half a day." ”

Wang Haoran nodded and said curiously: "It seems that you and Zhang Chaoyang are quite familiar!" ”

Xu Mingwen said: "It's okay, it's not familiar, the advertisements of the other two campus networks have been withdrawn because of the price, and there is only Sohu left, and I have been in contact with him a few times." ”

Wang Haoran said: "Then let's do it first, it's not early, let's go to the restaurant for a meal, I'll treat you!" ”

Xu Mingwen said with a smile: "That's okay, I'll order takeout today, I'm really tired of eating takeout during this time!" ”

After leaving the company, Wang Haoran hailed a taxi and went straight to the hotel last time.

When he arrived at the hotel and ordered the food, Wang Haoran took out the phone and dialed Liu Wenwen.

"Hey, Sister Wen, where are you? Why didn't I see you at work? ”

"Yo, you're doing a surprise attack! I just got out of the bank. ”

"Then Sister Wen, you come directly to Dongchuan Road, Haiyue Hotel, the one we came to last time, Brother Xu and I are waiting for you here."

"Okay, I'll see you later."

Xu Mingwen hung up the phone and said to Wang Haoran with a smile: "Your Sister Wen is really valuable, I have never seen such a capable strong woman, and she is so busy that she doesn't even answer Ren Zexin's call!" ”

Wang Haoran smiled: "Hehe, it will be fine after a while, and when the financing is negotiated, the company's headquarters will be moved to Jinling, and the supermarket headquarters will also be moved to Jinling, and it will be simple for them to meet!" ”

Xu inscription said: "Decided? ”

Wang Haoran said: "Well, even if the financing can't be negotiated for a while, I have to move the headquarters to Jinling, I want to go to university in Jinling for four years, and it is more convenient for the headquarters to be in Jinling." ”

Xu Mingwen nodded and said: "I have also thought about it, although Jinling is a little worse than Shanghai, it is also beneficial, there are many universities, there are many talents from all walks of life, and the government also has a lot of preferential policies for Internet companies." ”

Wang Haoran said: "In fact, Jinling still has a lot of benefits, the place is big, the price is cheap, compared with a start-up company like ours, it can reduce a lot of expenses, and the survival pressure will be much less." ”
