Chapter 161 Financing

Half an hour later, the banquet was held in the adjacent restaurant.

The dinner is in the form of a buffet, with self-pick-up cutlery, a mix of Chinese and Western dishes, and a long table with both Western and Chinese cuisine.

You can do whatever you want to eat, and you don't need to be entertained, and there is a restaurant waiter waiting next to you.

This kind of banquet is secondary, no one is really to eat, most people's main purpose is to expand their contacts, whether they are familiar or not, in this relaxed and comfortable environment, they will not refuse to chat with strangers, and they will get together to form a small circle.

The banquet was arranged by Liu Wenwen throughout the whole process, and the atmosphere in the restaurant made Liu Wenwen very satisfied, and walked towards the two reporters with half a glass of red wine.

Liu Wenwen is very good at dressing up, with a height of 1.7 meters, with a red evening dress, beautiful and dynamic, without losing her dignity, compared with Bai Xiaolu behind her, one is a swan and the other is an ugly duckling.

When it comes to appearance, the two of them look equally good, they are both rare beauties, but when they walk together, anyone will focus on Liu Wenwen first.

This is self-confidence, this is aura, you can't see it, you can't touch it, but you can feel it.

I don't know what Liu Wenwen talked about with the two, the two reporters nodded again and again, and finally took the red envelope handed over by Bai Xiaolu with a smile on their faces.

This is the red envelope that Wang Haoran asked Liu Wenwen to prepare in advance, which was used as a car and horse fee for these reporters, and each envelope contained 800 yuan.

It is not considered a bribe, the rules of carriage and horse expenses have existed since ancient times, and their existence is reasonable.

There is no harm in getting along with the media, the person with the pen in his hand should not be underestimated, and he must not be offended if he can, especially these "uncrowned kings".

Different from the laughter and laughter at the banquet, Wang Haoran was waiting for the first guest in the small room next to him.

Xu Mingwen was also at the banquet, glanced at his watch, said hello to the two familiar guests beside him, and walked towards a middle-aged man.

As soon as the press conference ended, Wang Haoran entered this small room that was used as a temporary reception room and waited for the guests to come to the door.

The door of the room was gently opened, and it was a middle-aged man who came in, Xu Mingwen closed the door, and acted as a door god outside without going anywhere.

The middle-aged man looked about forty years old, wearing a pair of golden glasses and a black suit, walked up to Wang Haoran and said, "Introduce yourself, IDG, thoughtful." ”

When Wang Haoran saw someone coming, he stood up, stretched out his hand to shake hands with the other party, and said with a smile on his face: "I have admired the name for a long time, hello Mr. Zhou, please take a seat." ”

This sentence is not a polite remark, for the name of Zhouquan, Wang Haoran, who was still a dick in his previous life, has already heard of it.

Zhou Quan is the first celebrity in the real sense that Wang Haoran has seen, different from Xu Shanghao's father Xu Jinsong, Zhou Quan's body does not have the kind of momentum that makes people ashamed of being in a high position for a long time, but is a bit like the uncle of the neighbor next door, which makes Wang Haoran a little disappointed, and looks similar to ordinary people.

But if you really want to treat the other party as an ordinary person, you are a fool, not everyone can become the leader of IDG, Wang Haoran naturally will not really treat the other party as an ordinary person.

After the two sat down, Zhou Quan said: "Where did you get a big name, I will work as soon as I work, I am still farming in my hometown at the age of Mr. Wang, and I am far worse than Mr. Wang." ”

Wang Haoran said: "Mr. Zhou has won the award, I am also a small fight, I can't get on the stage, Mr. Zhou, you are my role model, not only can manage such a large investment company, but also hold two optical fiber equipment patents in the United States, which is really powerful." ”

Zhou Quan smiled and said, "I have won awards, but I didn't expect Mr. Wang to know a lot about me." ”

“......”

“......”

The two complimented each other like this, which made Wang Haoran feel that there was no difference between big people and ordinary people.

After the politeness, Zhou Quan's voice changed and said: "It's not a secret, our IDG is very interested in Aihua Technology, and I don't know how many shares Mr. Wang is willing to sell this time." ”

When the main topic came, Wang Haoran looked at Zhou Quan and said, "No more than 30 percent at most." ”

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, rest assured, our IDG is an extremely professional investment company, and we are not interested in holding other companies, and the investment is only for profit, not for possession." ”

Wang Haoran said: "What Mr. Zhou said makes sense, it is precisely because I believe in IDG's professionalism that the first person I will see is you." ”

The meaning of this sentence was heard by Zhou Quan and said: "In this case, how about IDG investing five million US dollars in exchange for 30% of Aihua Technology's shares?"

Wang Haoran shook his head: "Mr. Zhou, you are a lion with a big mouth, although I am willing to sell 30% of Aihua Technology's shares, but the price of five million US dollars is absolutely impossible." ”

Zhou Quan said: "Five million US dollars is a lot, you know, our first investment in Tencent is only 1.1 million US dollars in exchange for 20% of Tencent's shares, Mr. Wang will not think that Aihua Technology is more valuable than Tencent." ”

Wang Haoran smiled: "It's not like this, it's an angel round of investment, I am a B round of financing, and to be honest, maybe Aihua Technology is not as good as Tencent now, but Aihua Technology will not be worse than Tencent in the future." ”

For other people to hear this, they will definitely think that Wang Haoran is boasting about Haikou, now at this time, to say that the campus network is a rising star of hope, then QQ is a giant in the sky, the two are not comparable at all, at this time it can be said that all Chinese netizens are QQ users, no one will go online without QQ.

But Zhou Quan didn't think so, although I don't know where Wang Haoran's self-confidence comes from compared to Tencent, but who can say well about the future, but not everyone can have lofty ambitions and goals, so he smiled and said: "Then how much do you want from Mr. Wang?"

Wang Haoran said: "30 million US dollars, 30 percent of the shares. ”

Zhou Quan shook his head: "This price is impossible, I can't convince the board of directors, the risk between investment and return is too great." ”

Wang Haoran said: "You are a venture capitalist, of course you can't be afraid of risks, Mr. Zhou said that this is not the truth, and if you feel that the risk is too great, you can invest a little less." ”

Venture capital, naturally, is not afraid of risks, but it is impossible to invest so much money in a company that has not yet started to make a profit at one time, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Eight million, twenty percent, I can convince the board of directors at this price." ”

"Eighteen million, twenty percent. ”

"Ten million, twenty percent. ”

"Sixteen million, twenty percent. ”

After asking for the price all over the sky, and paying back the money on the ground, after the two of you came and I tried it a few times, Wang Haoran said: "Eight million, I will give you 15% of the shares, this is my final price." ”

Zhou Quan looked at Wang Haoran's eyes, knowing that this should be Wang Haoran's lowest price, so he didn't bargain, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go to the bathroom." ”

Wang Haoran exhaled: "Mr. Zhou, please." ”

There was a sound of water in the bathroom, and the sound of the phone could be faintly heard, and after waiting for a few minutes, Zhou Quan walked up to Wang Haoran with a smile on his face and stretched out his hand: "I wish us a happy cooperation, and the board of directors accepted this price." ”

Hearing Zhou Quan's reply, Wang Haoran relaxed, the clenched fist under the table gradually loosened, his palms were full of sweat, and he wiped it without a trace, before he stretched out his hand and shook Zhou Quan, "Wise decision, I dare to guarantee that IDG will be proud of this decision, and this cooperation will also become the pride of Mr. Zhou." ”

Zhou Quan smiled: "Just by your age, I believe that before finalizing, I still have a few details I want to ask Mr. Wang." ”

Wang Haoran said: "Mr. Zhou, please speak." ”

Zhou Quan asked: "The first question is, does Wang always want to continue to carry out Series B financing?"

Wang Haoran nodded: "Yes, I will continue to meet with the next few venture capital representatives, and if possible, I will sell another 15% of the shares." ”

Zhou Quan was a little curious: "Why? Isn't eight million enough? You must know that this is US dollars." ”

"I don't want to raise money frequently, since it is financed, it is enough to finance at one time, eight million dollars is not much, improve employee benefits to retain talents, increase the server to improve the capacity of the website, and move to the new headquarters, etc., in addition to expand the market share of the campus network, after the financing, the campus network will set up a game department, enter the game industry, which is also a money-burning industry. ”

Zhou Quan was a little stunned and said, "The game? Do you want to develop your own game? This doesn't match the purpose of the campus network, right?"

Wang Haoran didn't give Zhou Quan a detailed explanation, and said: "It's not what you think, you will understand what is going on in two months." ”

Zhou Quan didn't ask, nodded and said, "By the way, after the financing, you have to set up a board of directors, and our IDG will send a person to the board of directors, this is no problem, right?"

Wang Haoran nodded: "It should be, but no matter who is sent, there is no right to interfere in the company's affairs, only the right to watch the company's financial statements, and one-tenth of the total financing will be used as the founder's dividend." ”

Wang Haoran's proposal is very reasonable, and the founder's financing dividend is a very common thing, but he still has something to say about the previous question: "Don't worry, the people sent will only look at it and never interfere in Aihua's daily affairs, but I hope that if Aihua has any major moves, they can inform us in advance." ”

Wang Haoran said: "Don't worry, the board of directors will be established after the financing, and if Aihua has any big moves, I will call you, after all, real money is invested, and the right to know is still there." ”

Zhou Quan nodded: "No problem, anyway, the company is yours, how you use the money, unless you are willing to give up the future of Aihua Technology, you know better than me where the money should be used." By the way, I can ask you, who do you prefer for the rest of the VC?"

Wang Haoran thought for a moment and said, "Morgan Slitan or Sequoia." ”

Zhou Quan asked: "Why don't you choose SoftBank? You know, SoftBank has always been wealthy. ”

Wang Haoran said: "The campus network is ultimately going to the world. ”

This sentence is fully understood, Wang Haoran is interested in Morgan Slitan and Sequoia's connections in Europe and the United States.

This young man's vision is really far-sighted, maybe this investment will become his own proud work. Zhou Quan thought to himself.
