Chapter 349: Immortal Heart (1/4)
Some things, some people are really careless, Lin Zheng and Benier just said that they can say "Funetofthebitch, assho1e!" to those bastards of venture capital firms and foundations under various names. At that time, someone came over and reported to Lin Zheng and Benier with a strange face: "Boss, boss, the people from Sequoia Capital are here again." ”
Sequoia Capital is here again? Lin Zheng and Benier looked at each other: it seems that this is not the first time he has driven them away, right?
"Sequoia Capital is really persevering." Looking at his boss, Benier could only shake his head.
"Dennis, tell them directly, we're too busy to see him." Lin Zheng was lazy to deal with these vampire-like guys, and directly to Dennis who came in to report.
Shareholding and venture capital are not the same thing, most of the time the shareholding is optimistic about the company's exhibition, hoping to participate in this business, although it is not excluded that some people quit halfway, but under normal circumstances, shareholders are to obtain dividends from the company's exhibition for the purpose, in order to operate the company, good operation as their own business.
Compared with shareholders, the purpose of venture capital companies is much "simple", their only purpose is to make money, when the venture capital company is optimistic about your company's potential, it will continue to track and evaluate your company, and actively find or passively let you come to the door when you need help most in the early stage of the exhibition, and exchange a "insignificant" amount of funds for them in exchange for a number of shares of your company, and so on after you develop, they use various ways to maximize the company's interests. When the value of the company is at its peak, the venture capital company sells the shares it holds, and the profit may be tens or even hundreds of times that of the transfer.
Although venture capital firms have incubated countless businesses, countless entrepreneurs always hate these vampire-like companies, and that's it. Even Lin Zheng is no exception.
But to Lin Zheng's surprise, after hearing his command, Dennis didn't leave immediately, but hesitated, "But this time it's the chairman of Sequoia Capital......
Chairman of Sequoia Capital? Single-handedly invested in Apple, Oracle, and Cisco Tang. Valentine? Lin Zheng and Benier glanced at each other: If it's Tang. Valentine, then I'm really going to meet this guy today.
If nothing else, this guy's energy in the American political, business, financial, and banking circles is too great. I heard that this product is not only good friends with many former and current senators, but also has publicly supported many US presidents during the election...... The strange thing is that as long as he supports it, he won in the end, which is a bit terrifying, such a big energy person came in person, even if it was Clinton. If you don't have time, you have to find time to meet in person.
……………………
Lin Zheng had never seen Tang. Valentine, who has not even seen a picture of him, is no wonder that all these years Don. Valentine has gradually withdrawn from the front-line work, mainly responsible for the general direction of Sequoia Capital and the future exhibition planning of many of its foundations, as for the specific work, it has been handed over to his deputy Michael. Moretz.
This time, Lin Zheng saw Tang. Valentine is a real person. The old man looked in good spirits, and he was still full of vitality and energetic when he was in his 6o, and he didn't look like a person of his age at all. What does Valentine look like...... From a Chinese point of view, Lin Zheng felt that Tang. Valentine's facial structure and current U.S. President Bill. Clinton is somewhat similar, especially the big nose, which is simply too similar.
Tang Dynasty. Valentine is a self-acquainted person. When Lin Zheng came in, he actually looked at a printed "Pottery Girl" hanging on the wall of the café, and it was really difficult for him, with his identity, what kind of treasures have he never seen, as for looking at this kind of mass-produced prints?
"Mr. Valentine...... "Anyway, the other party is also a predator, Lin Zheng is against Tang. Valentine was still very polite.
"No, no, no. Don't call me Mr. Valentine, just call me Don, my friends call me that, and I like people to call me that. "Don. Valentine naturally stepped forward, and when he came up, he gave Lin Zheng a big hug, "Haha...... Lin, I'm so glad to see you. ”
"It's my honor to be able to meet the dream "qingren" in the minds of countless entrepreneurs." Lin Zheng smiled and hugged Tang. Valentine, although he was a bit ...... about the gesture of men hugging each other Ahem......
"Qingren" in the dream of entrepreneurs? Ha ha...... I love that title! "Listening to Lin Zheng say this, Tang. Valentine laughed happily!
Although in the eyes of many people, venture capital companies are simply a group of vampires, but in the eyes of some entrepreneurs, venture capital companies are also their dream "qingren": without the deposit of venture capital companies, their dreams will not be realized...... Although the venture capital company is a little dark-hearted, but after success, it has gained a lot, right?
Tang Dynasty. Valentine is worthy of being the "king of venture capital" who can run rampant in the entire venture capital world, and the kung fu of adjusting the atmosphere and opening up the topic is really first-class, this is just a couple of sentences, and he is already like an old friend patting Lin Zheng's shoulder, "Last time Moretz went back, he specially talked to me about you, saying that you are a very interesting young man, maybe you have heard of it, I just like to deal with young people, seeing you, I think I am younger......"
Do you like dealing with me? Lin Zheng almost shuddered when he heard this: Fortunately, I know that you are an old man in his 6o, otherwise I would still think that you are an old rabbit, buddy's sexual orientation...... That's normal.
But since Don. Valentine said so, what else could Lin Zheng say, he could only smile and nodded, "This is probably the secret of your success?" ”
"Of course, there is no doubt about it," Don said. Valentine nodded with a smile, and when he said this, he complained to Lin Zheng intentionally or unintentionally, "Lin, you are even more difficult to enter here than the White House." ”
Tang Dynasty. Valentine's words are not an exaggeration, his status and influence in the American financial community, it is really not difficult for him to enter and exit the White House, and I heard that he and Clinton himself are still very good friends?
"I'm not in the U.S. at this time, and as you may know, I still have a lot of business in the country."
"I know that you have a home appliance subsidiary in China, and an electronic product foundry base is about to be put into operation," said Tang. Valentine nodded, he really knew these things, as the owner of a venture capital company, he had to investigate the situation of the object he wanted to invest in, and he knew that Lin Zheng's situation in China was of course normal.
Like the vast majority of Americans, Don. Valentine is also not good at greetings, or has always been someone who comes to him with a flattering face, and he Tang. Valentine looked down at each other with his chin on a haughty face, so in fact, Don. Valentine's patience was not very good, "Lin, I'm sure you can guess what I mean, that's right, I hope Sequoia Capital can work with you; I have already guessed that you are not giving up, Lin Zheng sneered in his heart, although the other party's background is not small, but you can snatch money from me by relying on your background? Are you sure you're not dreaming, old man?
"Don, we at IcQ are not short of money...... Well, maybe you should have heard that Bill has already invested 1o%, and there are 4ooo million, which is enough to ensure that IcQ will be exhibited in the next 2 years, and as for 2 years later, I am sure that IcQ can basically be self-financed, so ...... "He spread his hands, "I regret it." ”
As a venture capitalist who has single-handedly dug Apple, Oracle, and Cisco, after seeing the little penguin IcQ for the first time, Don. Valentine dared to use his reputation as the "king of venture capital" to guarantee that this little penguin definitely has the ability to grow into a company like Apple or Cisco...... It is not impossible to learn that in the future it will be able to compete with Microsoft in terms of scale.
Of course, as for what Lin Zheng said about IcQ being able to take care of its own profits and losses in two years after three years, Tang. Valentine is like Lin Zheng bragging, those guys who want to get investment from Sequoia Capital, which one of them doesn't blow himself to the sky?
"Oh? Are you so sure? "Don. Valentine's tone...... It's a little strange, say it's a mockery? Something doesn't seem right; Say it's doubts? It also seems to be a little out of bounds, anyway, it makes people feel weird, "Lin, how big do you think IcQ's business can be?" ”
"$1oo billion." Lin Zheng replied without hesitation.
"You're talking about the total value of the entire market?" Tang Dynasty. Valentine's eyes widened in surprise for a long time before he continued to ask.
"No, it's business income."
"IMHO," Don. Valentine stared at Lin Zheng for a long time before he shook his head, "Lin, I don't think IcQ can be so big, unless you can come up with solid and strong evidence to prove your words." ”
Lin Zheng chuckled lightly and asked rhetorically, "The question is, why should I prove it to you?" We don't need to raise money from Sequoia Capital right now, we now have enough money to develop the company, and the company's next development plan is highly confidential for any company......"
In other words, since none of you are our IcQ investors; Second, they are not our shareholders; Thirdly, I have no intention of seeking financing from you, so why should I sue you for these things?
Tang Dynasty. Valentine was stunned for a long time before he reacted, that's right, Lin Zheng really doesn't need to explain and explain these problems to himself, since people don't need to raise money from Sequoia Capital, then what reason is there to explain the secrets of these company exhibitions to themselves?
Accustomed to scrutinizing companies that need Sequoia Capital to invest in, this abrupt turn. Valentine was really uncomfortable.
