Chapter Ninety-Four: Venture Capital
Xu Xiaobai didn't stop for a few days before he received a very important phone call. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When the phone rang, he was selling goods in the store, glanced at the phone, saw that it was the phone number of Shanghai, and said in his heart that I didn't have any friends in Shanghai, how could someone call me, thinking it was a fraudulent call, I didn't answer, and continued to work.
Unexpectedly, the guests were gone, and when the store was deserted at noon, the phone rang again, Xu Xiaobai looked at it, it was still this number, and it didn't seem to be a scam call, so he picked it up and heard a rich baritone over there, speaking very standard Mandarin:
"Is it Mr. Xu Xiaobai?"
"I'm Xu Xiaobai." He was slightly surprised in his heart, since the other party could accurately say his name, it seemed that he was really looking for something.
"Sorry to bother you, please allow me to introduce myself, this is IDG Capital Investment Consultants Co., Ltd., I am the account manager, surnamed Zhou."
IDG? What's that?
"A capital investment company, as people are used to calling it nowadays, is a venture capital company. Our IDG headquarters in the United States, is the first venture capital company to enter Chinese mainland, our strength in the industry, I don't need to talk more, you will know a little online check. ”
Oh? Venture capital firms? Why did you find me?
When Xu Xiaobai asked this question, the other party was silent for a while, probably didn't expect him to ask like this, and after a while, the other party chuckled: "It seems that Mr. Xu doesn't know that he is already well-known in the venture capital industry, and I can't hide it, our company has taken a fancy to the investment potential of the Xiaobai Supermarket you founded and wants to invest in you." ”
Ignoring what this person said, Xu Xiaobai asked first: "How did you know my contact information?" How do you know that I founded Xiaobai Supermarket? "Probably because of the experience during this time, Xu Xiaobai has a very strong dissatisfaction with the leakage of personal information.
Hearing that his tone was not very good, the other party hurriedly explained: "Mr. Xu, don't worry, we will keep your personal information strictly confidential, which is the professional ethics of our venture capital company." However, even if you want to keep a low profile, you can't completely prevent the disclosure of personal information. You must know that the ads you are running are for satellite TV, and I don't know how many people in the country already know your store and your contact information. ”
Advertisement, ah, so it is. It seems that his advertisement has been accidentally placed on the Shanghai market, and the famous IDG company has seen it.
"Let's be honest, we are very concerned about the local and online boom of Xiaobai Supermarket, and after some arguments, we believe that your company has good potential and want to make a venture capital investment in you. According to current estimates, we can raise more than 10 million venture capital funds for you to expand your store. ”
Ten million? Xu Xiaobai said lightly, he just opened a small shop selling cosmetics, how could a venture capital company dare to invest 10 million in him?
"That ......" Xu Xiaobai tried his best to sort out his thoughts, "Please forgive me for being a little confused, I actually just rented a store and opened a cosmetics store, I really can't imagine that I can get 10 million venture capital." You're not a liar, are you? ”
The other party laughed and said: "Mr. Xu is very vigilant, which is very good, but don't worry too much, I can tell you the basic situation of our company, you go to check, our company is a legitimate multinational group, and it will definitely not be an illegal organization." In addition, if you think our venture capital advice is acceptable to you, please take some time to visit the Shanghai Stock Exchange in the near future and we can talk about VC issues in detail. ”
hung up the phone, Xu Xiaobai still couldn't adapt for a long time. As an entrepreneurial college student, he naturally knows the importance of venture capital for entrepreneurs, an entrepreneur, if he can pull 10 million venture capital, it proves that the market is highly recognized with his entrepreneurial philosophy, usually as long as he pulls venture capital, entrepreneurship can be said to have been successful. Now that someone has taken the initiative to venture into himself, it is a great affirmation for Xu Xiaobai.
Caring about anything else, he hurriedly went to check the relevant information of IDG on the Internet, and after checking it, he couldn't hold back the ecstasy in his heart anymore. IDG Capital Investment Consulting Co., Ltd., one of the top ten VC investment institutions, one of the earliest international investment institutions to enter China, focuses on VC/PE investment projects related to the Chinese market, and has successively invested in outstanding enterprises such as Baidu, Sohu, Tencent, etc., a leading enterprise in China's venture capital industry, and a leading information technology service company in the world. Since entering the Chinese mainland market in 1992, IDG has invested in a number of outstanding and potential enterprises and achieved great success.
Judging from the information found, IDG's strength is beyond doubt. Now people want to take the initiative to invest in themselves, which is simply a good thing for pie in the sky. Xu Xiaobai hurriedly called Lin Xing, and after knowing the situation, Lin Xing was also very excited. In her eyes, Xu Xiaobai made money with Xiaobai Supermarket, and no matter how much she earned, she couldn't get rid of the reputation of a small trader. Before Wang Dazhui invested 600,000 yuan in Xu Xiaobai, Xu Xiaobai decided to use the funds to open a branch, Lin Xing fully supported, just to make Xu Xiaobai bigger and stronger, from a small trader to an entrepreneur. Now that IDG is coming to venture capital, Xu Xiaobai is very likely to become a young and promising entrepreneur in the mainland in a very short period of time with the help of IDG, and her husband is going to get ahead, how can Lin Xing not be excited.
"But I'm going to Shanghai, and you're pregnant with a child now, how can I leave you with confidence. This time, even if the talks went well, it would take a week to come back. ”
Lin Xing on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I'm only a few months pregnant, how can it be as serious as you say." Besides, in the matter of venture capital, if you go alone, with your little brain, you will be fooled and stunned in three sentences, can you do it without me? ”
Xu Xiaobai sighed and exclaimed, "You want to go with me?" ”
"Naturally, we want to be together, we are husband and wife, and the benefits are broken!"
That night, after the end of the business of Xiaobai Supermarket, Xu Xiaobai called both parents to his home, and everyone gathered for dinner.
"Lin Yatou wants to follow you to Shanghai? Can you afford it? Mother Xu was the first to object, for Mother Xu, it doesn't matter how much money the child can make, anyway, now they are not short of money, the most important thing is to give birth to the child peacefully.
But Father Lin and Father Xu expressed their support after thinking about it, in the eyes of the two fathers, if Xu Xiaobai can really succeed in getting this venture capital, it will be like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and from then on they will be the dragon and phoenix among the people, and they will naturally support it from the overall situation.
Mother Xu's objection was invalid, and although Mother Lin was unwilling, she couldn't say more. On the contrary, Lin Xing looked indifferent: "Don't think I'm so fragile, okay." I really want to go out for a walk, these months at home are stuffy, this time to accompany Xiaobai to Shanghai, we go to take a walk by the way, I haven't seen the night view of the Bund for five or six years, the last time I went to play in the City God Temple, I didn't go to it, this time just make up for this regret. ”
Even the pregnant woman herself expressed her position, and the rest of the people couldn't object, so the matter was settled. Lin Xing and Xu Xiaobai decided to take a good rest tonight and go to Shanghai tomorrow morning.
