& After all, 'Donkey in the Rivers and Lakes' is a platform for squirrel venture capital release activities, so Jun Mo still enjoyed some special treatment when he came to participate this time.

At the invitation of the organizer, he and **Tao arrived in Shanghai at noon the next day, put their luggage in the hotel arranged by Squirrel Ventures, and went directly to the company.

Qu Fan who went out to greet them was a tall and thin young man, dressed in a well-fitting black suit and black leather shoes, and his broken hair no more than 5 centimeters long was tied upright because of the gel styling, full of personality and unassuming. If it weren't for his personal introduction, it's hard to imagine that such a neat twenty-four-year-old is a self-made entrepreneur with five years of experience.

After a few simple greetings, Qu Zifan took them to visit the Squirrel Venture Capital Company. This entrepreneurial base, which is divided into four large areas and has a total area of more than 400 square meters, is very low-key and not at all obvious.

The 58-square-meter central conference room with excellent soundproofing is exactly the location of this maker brainstorming activity. The facilities inside are very simple: a conference table for 12 people; a bookcase; a 60-inch wall-mounted TV connected to a computer; a projector; 2 whiteboards directly attached to the wall; An automatic water dispenser and an automatic coffee machine.

The two open office spaces are separated by 10 fully enclosed offices of frosted glass of different sizes, which, according to Qu Zifan, are the office spaces prepared by Squirrel Ventures for A-level key projects, and six of them have been settled so far.

The open space, with a total area of about 160 square meters, is an office area for B-level projects, and as long as the project is selected by Squirrel Ventures, these teams can have the right to use no more than four tables for half a year.

At a glance, the vast majority of people in the office are young people who are no more than 30 years old, although Jun Mo and ** Tao don't know what they are busy with, but according to Qu Zifan, when Squirrel Venture Capital closes at 9:30 every night, nearly a quarter of the young people are forced to get off work together. This kind of scene should be seen tomorrow.

"Are these entrepreneurs recruited through the guò maker mobilization campaign?" After listening to his introduction, Tao unconsciously activated the reporter mode.

"Half and half!" Qu Zifan replied,

"It was only in June this year that we learned about the 'Donkey in the Rivers and Lakes' platform through the guò huddle activity, since we are a venture capital company, our projects have always had, what is lacking is really new and valuable ideas.

After learning about your platform, we designed the current campaign. The main purpose is to screen new projects, because the threshold of the registration fee of 2,000 yuan has been established, and the project registration requirements have been clearly explained in advance, so the efficiency has been improved a lot. In the past six months, more than 10 activities have indeed found many reliable projects and teams for the base.

But this time, I didn't expect you to participate. The influence of 'Donkey in the Rivers and Lakes' has been expanded, and the platform has also developed to the current scale, exchanging a large proportion of shares for some angel funds and incubation services should not be your main purpose.

If I want to guess, the chances of you coming to brainstorming should be greater, so although it is not very in line with the operating procedures, I still arranged for you to participate in the first time of signing up for 'Donkey in the Rivers and Lakes'. ”

Qu Zifan's words fully aroused Jun Mo's curiosity, and he hurriedly asked:

"I've done all the preparations you want, and the fees are paid normally, what other processes are missing?"

Qu Zifan smiled and said:

"The main purpose of the Squirrel Ventures event is to find the right startup project, but also to make sure that the makers who come to the brainstorming are equipped enough to help each other solve the problems they are facing.

To achieve these two goals, we must definitely check the projects and personnel who have signed up!

The 10-minute roadshow must reflect:

What is the project? How big is the market potential? Who is the customer base? Are there any barriers and competitive barriers in the process of operation? What are the advantages of the makers themselves? What are the specific problems you are currently experiencing? ~~~

When the participants have clearly listed the above questions, we will do a basic evaluation of them, and only after the project evaluation is qualified will the makers be notified to pay for the event.

As far as experience is concerned, the success rate of the current maker project is generally not more than 30%!

Even if we have passed the evaluation, we will call them and talk about the precautions of the venture capital roadshow. Generally, makers sign up in the current period, and only after the next or even several sessions will they have the opportunity to actually participate.

And this time, because Mr. Peng and I are very interested in the 'Donkey in Jianghu' platform, we also want to see if we can collide with each other in the exchange to get some inspiration or find some cooperation opportunities. Therefore, we will make an exception and arrange for you to participate directly.

Now that we've made an exception, I'm going to add another special object with me, and you'll find out tomorrow! ”

Although Jun Mo was also very serious about sorting out the roadshow materials, after listening to Qu Zifan's introduction, he found that the professional's construction was obviously more logical and reasonable.

Suddenly, a message was inadvertently captured by ** Tao: "Why is Mr. Peng not here today?" ”

At Jun Mo's request, Qu Zifan was taking out several roadshow materials compiled by previous makers for his reference, and after hearing the inquiry, he said casually:

"Yes, he's gone to the class reunion of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, but he will definitely be there tomorrow morning."

Knowing that Mr. Peng was not here today, Tao was a little disappointed, but looking at Qu Zifan's attitude, he could obviously feel that he still attached great importance to 'donkey in the rivers and lakes', so he quickly seized the opportunity and concentrated on interviewing the founder of squirrel crowdfunding.

After chatting for about an hour, Jun Mo was embarrassed to disturb Qu Zifan's normal work too much, so he returned to the hotel with the unfinished **Tao, and after sorting out his thoughts a little, he quickly picked up the ipad, re-examined the project introduction and problem description of 'Donkey in the Rivers and Lakes', and trimmed up the ppt.

Early the next morning, the two came to Squirrel Venture Capital fifteen minutes earlier than the specified time, but when they arrived, they saw that all the other makers had already arrived.

While waiting for Mr. Peng and Qu Zifan, everyone briefly introduced themselves. It turned out that the makers around him were an online shopping product rights protection company, an online music creation company, a pizza delivery company, a micro-film studio and a patented product crowdfunder.

As soon as he met his brainstorming partner for the next three days and two nights, Jun Mo saw Qu Zifan follow a middle-aged man wearing a gray sweetheart collar sweater. This man looked to be in his early 40s, with his hair casually tossed to the side, his sideburns slightly gray, and he looked neither tall nor powerful, and his appearance was not prominent.

But his pace is very peculiar, slightly slow but extremely steady, his eyes do not squint, he is very clear about his destination, and other than that, there is no distraction. It seems that there is no one or thing in the world that is worthy of his deliberate catering.

Before coming to the company, Jun Mo took a look at Peng Xiaofei's information on Baidu, and knew that the middle-aged man in front of him who was dressed casually was indeed a bull who had landed on the Hurun Report for five consecutive years. But when he really faced this legendary maker who washed away the lead, he couldn't see that this fat man with a slightly wooden expression was obviously different from ordinary people.
