"Hey, Mark, have all the circumstances I asked for?" Roy confirmed earnestly.

"Man, for this inexplicable request of yours, my house is pressed, I really don't know why you are so stubborn. Mark Randolph complained.

The two of them went up the elevator from the Ritz-Carlton parking lot and went directly to the conference room booked by the hotel.

"The devil is in the details, and a better environment is conducive to pleasant communication with investors. Roy said.

"Pleasant, my God, I talked about a few investors who obviously want to sign an offer, why do you want to refuse?! ”

"Mark, I really doubt how you haven't gone bankrupt until now? Financing that can get money immediately is the real offer, is it useful to sign a contract of intent? If they don't pay for a year and a half, our company will have gone bankrupt many times, these speculators who occupy the pit and don't, don't want to fish in my troubled waters. ”

"Okay. Why do you refuse if another investor intends to make a decision on the spot and promise to pay within three days? Don't you know that we don't have a penny now, and we urgently need this seed round of financing?"

Roy pressed the elevator and said disdainfully: "He is a small organization that he has never heard of, and he wants 50% of the shares when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth, you know, this is just the seed round, and there are Series A, Series B, and Series C financing later. Of course, if he really gives more money, it's not that it can't be negotiated, but he wants us to sell ourselves for 1 million, it's ridiculous, I don't even understand the basic rules, and cooperating with this kind of rookie will cause more trouble than profit. ”

Mark muttered quietly, "It's not because the shares are all yours, you're distressed." ”

"What are you talking about?" Roy walked into the elevator, looked at Mark seriously, and said solemnly: "Mark, we have such a potential project, are you satisfied with earning 500,000 yuan? Listen, we are people in the same boat, my interests are your interests, at this moment my heart is more anxious than anyone else, as long as the conditions are not too excessive, I will nod and agree, but the premise is - there will be drama in the future. ”

"Got it, got it, you've said it a hundred times. I have more experience than you and have eaten salt ......"

I need you Mark, but at this point, please let me be quiet. ”

Roy took out his briefcase and checked it one last time, slide presentation, manuscript to read himself, 15-minute presentation, 30-minute presentation, 45-minute presentation, financing proposal......

The thick half-palm-high documents were divided into folders, and he had privately taken into account all possible contingencies, such as investors interrupting speeches, investors temporarily changing hours, asking questions outside the field, tricky embarrassments, arrogant contempt, unreasonable demands......

In this week, he has seen a large number of investors, coupled with the financing experience in China in the previous life, he clearly knows his humble position, just like China China, unless you have achieved enough to prove your achievements, otherwise the contempt and arrogance of investors are simply an appetizer.

Every entrepreneur hopes to meet a confidant investor who understands their own products, understands their own business, and understands their own ideas, which is actually just a delusion, almost all investors do not know much about specific products, but this does not prevent them from choosing investment projects, because they have their own judgment methods and standards.

Legend has it that the story of a certain entrepreneur meeting a certain confidant investor is just a tacit understanding with the investor after the entrepreneur succeeds.

Stepping out of the elevator, the room not far from the corner was the conference room they had booked.

The door of the conference room was open, and Roy pushed the door in, and saw an elite man who was not very old, well-dressed, and had a brilliant temperament, sitting leisurely on the sofa and sipping coffee.

Mark immediately stepped up, walked up to the man enthusiastically, stretched out his right hand excitedly, and said in his mouth: "Mr. Woolley, I'm very sorry, we're late." ”

Gabriel Woolley politely handed the coffee cup to Mark, thanked him, and said, "It's me early, but the coffee here tastes good." ”

Mark embarrassedly put down the coffee cup, and then introduced to Gabriel, "This is ...... next to him"

"—no need. ”

"Huh?"

"I'm sorry, I don't have time to know a minor, aren't you afraid that the guild will sue you for exploiting child labor like this?" Gabriel proudly raised his right wrist, looked at his million-dollar Swiss diamond watch, and said, "There are 10 points left, no, it's 9 minutes." ”

Damn Fake, you are a child laborer, your whole family is a child laborer, you are so tender and you still have the face to say that I am really a donkey who does not know how long the face is. Roy grumbled inwardly, the smirk on his face stiffening to stone.

Mark said anxiously: "Mr. Woolley, we made an appointment that we would have about half an hour. ”

Gabriel smiled elegantly and confidently, and his tone was soft without a trace of anger: "That's right, half an hour to the left, that's 10 minutes." But now there are only 8 minutes left. ”

"But...... In such a short period of time...... You know...... I can't say anything clearly. "Mark struggled to think of the right words to salvage the defeat.

"There are 7 minutes left. ”

"Mr. Woolley, please...... Give us a chance, okay?"

"Six minutes to go. ”

"Mr. Woolley, you don't keep your promise like this, and it's not good for your reputation to spread it. Mark changed his mind, his tone hardening.

"5 minutes. Gabriel smiled disapprerovingly, as if he were playing a counting game, calmly.

"You ......"

The other party's aggressive and arrogant savior attitude, even Mark, who is good at flattery, can't stand it, and with just a few words, he forced Mark into a corner, and he was tired of coping.

"4 points. ”

Roy silently walked over to the presentation table and threw a thick stack of materials on the table.

With a "bang", the sound of files colliding with the desktop immediately attracted attention.

Roy spoke slowly, "Mr. Woolley, I sympathize with you. ”

Gabriel laughed and said, "3. ”

"You catch every minute every day, meet all kinds of entrepreneurs, and hope to find a good investment project, instead of listening to the hype of those unaware fools, but - you don't have a choice. ”

Gabriel nodded with interest: "Little friend, you're right, you still have 2 minutes left." ”

Roy tried to control himself as much as he could, to keep his tone calm, to imitate Gabriel's demeanor and sentence breaks," I don't know how you judge a potential entrepreneur, maybe I'm not among them, but, among the countless entrepreneurs you have seen, there will definitely be a fish that slipped through the net, his product is very potential, the team is also very good, and the capital can make a hundred times more profitable in a short time, however, he encountered the bad attitude of investors, which made an emotional confrontation between the two form a psychology, and the result is that the next communication, whether he forcibly endures it, or can't help it, the effect must be very bad. ”

"You have 1 minute left. ”

Roy took a deep breath, his deep eyes revealing endless certainty: "So, you may have missed a real opportunity, and I am the one who slipped through the net." ”

The room was silent and pin drops could be heard.
