199 Buying and selling is not concluded

ββ¦β¦ So, cycling is a very promising project. On the one hand, it can meet the needs of exercise, and on the other hand, it can also meet everyone's social needs. In fact, in my opinion, entrepreneurship should choose such projects, find new needs, guide new lifestyles, and change the world little by little. β
Wei Kai felt that his addition of the qualifier 'a little bit' might be subtle enough. But when Wang Heng just heard the word 'change the world', he couldn't help but want to cover his face.
He felt that Wei Kai, as an entrepreneur, at least at this point in time, did not seem to be reliable.
"All in all, your business model is to design a ride project, attract customers through campus publicity and networking, and then organize them to experience the ride and collect a fee. Removing the cost of advocacy and organization, that's your profit, right? β
Wei Kai nodded: "That's it, that's right." β
Wang Heng couldn't help but ask again: "Then where did your bicycle come from?" β
Wei Kai replied without hesitation: "We will buy a batch of bikes suitable for riding and let customers ride." β
At this point, there is a slight shadow of shared bicycles. But the idea of the whole project is too far from the shared bicycle that became popular later.
Wang Heng originally wanted to inject capital while FOF was still a seedling, take out tens of millions to exchange for some shares, and when they were in the fourth and fifth round of financing, they would throw out these shares again, and the yield would be even more exaggerated than speculating in Bitcoin.
The problem is that the FOF in front of us today is not a bike-sharing project.
So what to do?
Wang Heng is very sure that he is not looking for the wrong person, this Wei Kai is the trendsetter who should lead the capital market in two or three years. But this buddy obviously hasn't opened up yet, and if he gives him the money now, there is a high probability that he will just be in vain. Of course, it can be exchanged for a certain amount of shares, but in a few days, wouldn't it be better to give money when he hits the south wall and changes his mind?
After hesitating for a while, Wang Heng said, "Take me to see your company." β
Before the words fell, I saw a trace of embarrassment flash on Wei Kai's face: "This ......"
Seeing this, Wang Heng added: "I will not probe into your trade secrets, nor will I look at your financial statements. We're just going to talk about the initial intentions today, and we won't go too deep. β
Wei Kai struggled for a few seconds and said: "But we are a startup, and the office space is relatively ......"
Wang Heng smiled: "It doesn't matter, there are great companies that change the world in the garage, you have an office now, right?" β
Wei Kai gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll take you over!" β
ββββ
When he arrived at FOF's office, Wang Heng found that the situation of these people was even more difficult than he imagined.
The location is an old office building with four floors. Enter the building and take the elevator, but when the elevator rises, it trembles, which makes people a little worried. After getting out of the elevator, I turned two more corners and saw the smallest office in the corner.
The FOF signboard is a plastic sticker attached to the door, which can be seen to have been carefully designed, but the texture of the sticker is there, and it is really not classy.
Walking inside, you will see that there are only two rooms connected to the corridor, which are the conference room and the office for six people.
"Mr. Wei is back?" A man stood up and said hello.
Wei Kai slapped his face to attract everyone's attention, and then introduced: "This is President Wang of the Penguin Group......"
The first time he heard the title of 'Mr. Wang', he said it without the slightest joke in the mouths of others, and Wang Heng couldn't help blushing a little.
There's no way, it's still too thin-skinned, and you need to cultivate.
ββββ
For the latest ride, the number of applicants and the deposit have been counted. The result was slightly better than Wei Kai and others had expected.
Wang Heng sat in the conference room, listening to the suppressed cheers and whispering discussions next door, and probably guessed what the situation was nowβit might be a while before Wei Kai hit the south wall. The birth of the bike-sharing model is urgent.
Of course, Wang Heng can also choose to put aside these people from FOF and directly open a company to share bicycles. But he knows that this business model has a fatal weakness, the more you go to the back, the more you need to seize the market, and to seize the market, you need to burn a lot of money but can't make a profit, so you have to continue to attract investors and continue to raise funds...... Starting a business like this, and in the end it is destined to end up with chicken feathers, of course Wang Heng doesn't want to do it.
But angel investors are completely different. As long as you find the right time to exit and get double the profit of the shares. It doesn't matter how cold the company will be in a few years.
Sitting in the conference room of the FOF, Wang Heng sorted out his mind and made up his mind.
So when Wei Kai came in, he said, "I'm in for a treat tonight, let's go and masturbate together." β
Wei Kai couldn't help but be stunned: "Masturbation? β
Wang Heng: "Yes, drinking and masturbating at the same time, it will be happier to chat." β
Wei Kai was a little embarrassed: "But some of our partners are not very good at socializing......"
Wang Heng: "Then bring someone who is good at socializing, I have something to tell you." β
Hearing this, Wei Kai immediately cheered up.
"Okay, I'll ask if any of them would like to go with them!"
ββββ
Two hours later, Wang Heng, Wei Kai and two other people came to the most famous barbecue restaurant nearby.
Waiting for the skewers to be served, Wei Kai said enthusiastically: "Langjing has a small waist, and their family is famous for more than just a waist. Mr. Wang, try this meat skewer, is it okay? β
"I've eaten it, I know." Wang Heng said this and stroked a string of meat.
Well, it tastes similar to when I brought Pei Ningle to eat......
At the table, there were a lot of skewers, and after a round of beer, it was almost time to get down to business.
Wang Heng suddenly said: "Regarding your investment projects, I am personally very optimistic......
Speaking of this, the faces of Wei Kai and the other two were suddenly full of hope.
But then, Wang Heng's words made this hope gradually disappear.
"Personally, I am very optimistic, but after communicating with my boss, he is still more cautious. The main problem is that we have recently voted for Didi, and we have to vote for public comment, and we have reached an in-depth agreement with Jindong. Therefore, in principle, there are no plans to start new investment projects at this time. And in his opinion, your ceiling is too low. β
Wei Kai: "Ceiling? β
Wang Heng said: "How big is the whole riding market?" Even if you do it to the extreme, how big can you get? If you don't answer this question well, you can't help it. β
The other partner couldn't help but say, "Do you mean that...... Soupy? β
Wang Heng said sincerely: "It's useless for me to be optimistic personally, and there is no way to be vetoed by the above." However, we can leave our contact information, and if there are any changes to your project in the future, you can always contact me to see if I can try again. β
The three business partners looked at each other, exchanged glances, and nodded in unison.
And Wang Heng feels that although he still needs to exercise in the thickness of his skin, his acting skills are already very good. Obviously, he was the only one who wanted to invest from beginning to end, and he was not interested in this riding project at all, but he made him what he is now.
"You already know my mobile phone number," Wei Kai smiled bitterly, "You're right, we can't buy and sell benevolently, and maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." β
Wang Heng smiled: "I think there are likely to be opportunities for cooperation." And for now, I can also give you a sum of money in my personal capacity. About 100,000 yuan in change, I won't exchange your shares, and I will lend it to your company without interest, how about it? β
Wei Kai nodded hurriedly: "Of course you can, thank you!" β
