Chapter 77: Tsundere's Investor

"I just want to ask you a question, this question I also asked last time, if BesTV participates in the battle for Internet rental, how will you respond?"

"Great question. Roy sneered and said domineeringly: "If BesTV announces the opening of a website rental business today, then its five thousand franchise stores will immediately rebel the next day, and at that time, let alone online business, even offline business, it will be finished." The result will only be business chaos, shareholder opposition, and an irreversible avalanche of stock price decline. ”

After answering, he immediately pointed to Bruce Fink next to him.

Bruce sneered: "BesTV has a huge resource advantage, stores all over the United States, almost monopolizing the home film and television rental industry, you will definitely lose in the short-term competition." ”

Fack, that's the problem too?!

Roy sneered at each other with an unchanged face: "The cost of BesTV's store rent and employee wages is a hundred times that of the corresponding channel of Red Coral Company, let me ask, what does BesTV use to compete with me?"

It is indeed an indisputable fact that BesTV stores and personnel costs are high, but Roy obviously answered the question and changed the subject.

Roy ignored Bruce's ugly face and pointed at Alyssa, who represented Wanren Capital.

"Red Coral only rents DVDs, while BesTV only rents videotapes, do you think the company will have an advantage in this regard?" asked Alyssa.

Although most investors want to ask this question, it is a standard question to send points.

Roy took this kindness to heart, pointed to the slide behind him, and asked rhetorically: "One is dexterous and exquisite, the other is bulky and old-fashioned, one is high-tech, one is sunset industry, one is convenient and simple, and the other is clumsy to carry...... Who the market belongs to in the future, you will tell yourself the answer in your heart. ”

Replace the slides with other protocols.

Roy explained: "This is a cooperation agreement between Red Coral and Sony, Philips, Toshiba, Panasonic, Hitachi and other companies, and for every DVD they sell, they will have a Red Coral movie rental trial voucher in it, and the company will also add a new subscriber. In the near future, when the DVD craze hits, that's when Red Coral is on the spot.

"This is the advertising plan of Sony, Panasonic, Hitachi and other companies. Due to the large number of DVDs sold by Red Coral Company, which caused a huge response in the market, DVD manufacturers increased their cultivation of the market and invited Red Coral as a partner to do marketing promotion.

"With these electronics industry giants, will it be far away when DVD dominates the world?!"

……

Roy answered a few more questions, avoiding the important and trivializing the deliberately difficult ones, and exaggerating the problems that could be performed.

The Q&A came to an end, and it officially entered the A round of financing of Red Coral.

Roy finally encouraged: "Red Coral is like a rising sun now, and when the sun rises, it is the time for investors to sing their legendary investment stories."

"Red Coral raised $40 million in Series A financing, with a valuation of $200 million after financing.

"The quota of 40 million is on a first-come, first-served basis, miss it once, and wait for another ten years!"

With that, Roy returned backstage without looking back, picked up the mineral water, unscrewed the cap, poured it hard, and collapsed on the chair like a collapse.

With the high-intensity speech just now, his body couldn't bear it.

This physical fitness is too weak, and if you go to a bigger scene, you probably won't be able to hold it.

……

Conference room.

More than a dozen investors watched and hesitated at each other, you look at me, I look at you, and they formed a team to discuss in a low voice.

Gary wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his head, and his heart was nervous to death. Originally, he thought that Roy had played well, and financing should not be a problem, but now looking at this form, it seems to be very suspenseful.

Rex and the other five financing receptionists were waiting behind another table next to her, and she was also responsible for announcing the progress of financing and improving the hot atmosphere of financing, but seeing that the investors in front of her were a little weirdly dull, she couldn't help but beat a drum in her heart.

Could it be that this financing is going to fail? Sure enough, Roy set a huge valuation, which scared everyone here.

Rex believes that the valuation of 50 million is quite reasonable, and I don't know why Roy insists on a high valuation, so that the B round of financing is doomed to fail in the future.

Debra saw that the situation was grim and hurriedly ran backstage to find Roy.

Five minutes later.

Alyssa was the first to stand up, walked up to Rex, and signed her investment quota.

Rex was overjoyed and sang loudly: "Ten thousand dollars of capital injection into the fund!"

Someone took the first step, and the atmosphere in the conference room changed significantly, and many investors also took hesitant steps to go to the registration desk.

Every VC firm invited here has received Roy's Series A financing plan in advance, so there is absolutely no on-site decision-making, they already have their own investment amount in mind, and their own valuation of Red Coral.

Within seconds, Bacarat and Bruce's assistant went to the stage together to get the contract and said how much they would finance.

Rex was surprised and incredulous, and only after repeated confirmation did he excitedly proclaim: "Flynn Fund injected $15 million! Wansheng Fund injected $15 million!"

She calculated in her heart that there was only five million left in the financing amount today, and she reminded loudly: "The last five million financing amount, if you want to buy it as soon as possible." ”

At this moment, the other investment talents in the conference room woke up like a dream, and immediately surrounded the front desk like a 100-meter race.

However, an investor who was closer to the front desk had already taken the lead and quoted his investment amount of 5 million.

The rest of the circle of investors were dumbfounded, they didn't expect that the financing of 40 million yuan would be divided up by four institutions so quickly, it was really crazy, and it was the opposite of what I imagined.

Some investors beat their chests and were annoyed, they were obviously optimistic about this project, why did they hesitate, now they didn't get a penny, and they ran away in vain.

The dust settled.

The suffocating pressure in the conference room just now also disappeared, and everyone talked about this financing with sadness or joy, and the small conference room became lively again.

Roy regained some strength and walked backstage. His face was like a spring breeze blowing willows, and he was not cold, which was in stark contrast to his domineering, self-confidence, and pride just now.

It's not that Roy wants to act like this on purpose, but that you have to be flexible and strong when you speak on stage before, so that others will trust you.

And now, the four big financiers have come out, so they naturally want to offer them like the God of Wealth, and beat them up, so that they don't make a moth halfway and give the financing money quickly.

"Thank you for your support, now the prosperity is over, everyone. Roy then smiled at the four financiers, "Miss Elisa, Mr. Woolley, Mr. Fink...... And this ...... Oh, Mr. Edie, please stay, I have prepared a grand dinner party at the hotel, and I sincerely invite you to participate, and please enjoy your face. ”

The last investor was Keith Edie, representing Sail Fund. Roy, a venture capital firm that had never heard of it, was probably a small and up-and-coming institution.

Gabriel crossed Erlang's legs and smiled at Bruce next to him: "It's really not easy, there is a banquet tonight, I thought I was going back hungry." ”

Bruce held the super general's belly and laughed very cooperatively: "I'm really afraid that my master will be poor with this amount of food, and our investment will be wasted at that time." ”

Alyssa was silent, not knowing what she was pondering.

Keith was very enthusiastic to Gabriel and Bruce, and saw his funny appearance of roe deer and monkey gills, and without saying a word, he made the two big guys laugh.

Gary looked at all this with a smile, the thrilling financing just now made his little heart unbearable. This Roy, he is getting more and more incomprehensible.

Rex is still excited to sign a contract with the investor, and seeing the implementation of the letters of intent for investment, a big stone in her heart that has been suppressed for a long time has finally landed, and since Roy has survived the difficulties, he can finally go home. She felt like a dream, she had been here for too long.

Debra, who was next to her, looked at the lively scene ignorantly, counted on her ten fingers, frowned and counted for a long time, and didn't understand whether Roy was a billionaire now. Anyway, Roy must have made a lot of money anyway, and as for how much he earned, he had to go back and ask Jamie, Jamie's smart brain must have been figured out at once.

Investors are so arrogant, Roy can't say anything, who calls them the father of capital. It seems that tonight's banquet is indispensable for being accused of scolding Huai, holding a gun and a stick.
