Before Luo Sheng set off, he spent a lot of money to buy a suit and leather shoes, and the change of shape looked like a proper piece of fresh meat in the workplace.

Luo Sheng, who was born in 1985, is 19 years old this year, no matter how you look at it, he is a little immature.

And this trip, Luo Sheng came to the first time since 2003 to encounter all things go wrong, this time his investment trip, has become a trip to hit a wall.

Just when he went out to look for VC, in an apartment in another place, the shopping website Dibao was in full swing and was expected to be launched in three months.

Boss Ma, the founder of Ahri Baba, is also seeking private financing, the general environment is not good, and the cold winter of the bursting of the Internet bubble seems to have no signs of warming, and it is not easy to attract investment.

In the next half a month, Luo Sheng started from Shencheng, flew to the north, and then to the south, tossing and turning.

It took a lot of effort to go to the capital and finally met Mr. Zhang, the founder of Soarc, seeking angel round financing, Mr. Zhang learned of his intention, and refused without waiting for him to finish, and threw out a hurtful word: You this thing, I can find a few college students to do better than you in no more than 1 month, the current industry environment, what do you use to compete with Tengxun QQ? There is no future!

Luo Sheng wanted to tell him that it was actually made in less than half a day!

But it was not spoken.

After being rejected, Luo Sheng found Lianxiang Company again, he didn't meet the founder of this company, but he also met a company executive, as soon as he heard that this young man was here to pull investment, he pushed Luo Sheng back in one sentence:

[At this age, you should go to college first, the social network model you said, it is impossible to succeed, and the reason is very simple, because the United States did not give birth to this model, and this one alone is enough.] ]

There is no such Internet social model in the United States, no!

This is the sentence that Luo Sheng heard the most, and at least ten investors rejected him with this sentence.

In the case of one wall after another in the capital, Luo Sheng had to leave after staying for seven or eight days, and flew to Guangdong Province instead, and found Rebus on his first trip.

Luo Sheng was fortunate to successfully meet with Mr. Lei, a busy man, and paid the price for three days, and reaped the result of being rejected miserably.

And when Luo Sheng left, Mr. Lei also joked with the people around him: "This young man and Ma Ling are really two extremes, one is a roe deer, the other is handsome and handsome, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they like to run trains with their mouths full, and the project they say is bigger than the sky, and they want to connect all mankind at every turn, and they are young people who come to cheat money no matter how they look at it." ”

……

Day 17 of departure from Shencheng.

At this moment, in the afternoon of local time, Luo Sheng, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes, was carrying a briefcase in one hand, which contained thousands of yuan in cash and the development plan of the BlueSpace website.

And in the other hand he held a bottle of mineral water that he had drunk half-drunk.

In the past 17 days, he has met with 32 investors, including the industry leaders who will be thunderous in the future.

But after seeing so many people, the blue space website development plan in his briefcase was not shown to investors once.

Because there was no chance at all, the investors he saw were extremely strong, and Luo Sheng was denied without saying a word.

After experiencing it personally, he was finally able to understand Boss Ma's feelings of being rejected back then, because more than half of the 32 investors he saw had seen Boss Ma when he was pulling investments.

Let's talk about Mr. Lei, Luo Sheng felt that he shouldn't make a second mistake, but Mr. Lei's operation simply flashed Luo Sheng's waist.

After drinking the remaining half bottle of mineral water, Luo Sheng took the empty bottle and glanced around the street, found the trash can and threw it away.

Five minutes later, he was standing under Teng Xun's current company headquarters building, of course, Teng Xun did not have his own independent headquarters, Luo Sheng hesitated to try it and see if he could meet Brother Xiaoma.

After thinking about it, I made a decision, and I immediately moved forward.

Transfer to the airport and return to Shencheng.

Luo Sheng gave up going to see the penguin boss because he remembered that Brother Xiao Ma also rejected the founder of Ahri back then, and he also asked him for financing at the beginning, but it didn't work out in the end, it is said.

Brother Xiao Ma had the opportunity to invest 15% at that time, but on the one hand, he was not optimistic about Boss Ma's project, and on the other hand, he felt that the proportion was too small and wanted 50%, so naturally it was not negotiated.

……

Shencheng, Bluestar Technology Studio.

"Yo, I'm back, have you got any investment?"

Xu Yong saw Luo Sheng come back, so he threw the bag aside, threw the suit aside, and sat down on the old sofa in the living room, Xu Yong saw that he already knew what the result was, and laughed and said: "Look at this situation, the angel investment has not been pulled, and the travel expenses have been lost, how can it be called a miserable word, thank God that I have not been infected with SARS......"

"You're really inspiring." Luo Sheng shook him helplessly, and then looked at the ceiling blankly, this time he went out to attract investment, he didn't look for overseas capital, but now in this situation, I'm afraid that he will have to follow the old path of Boss Ma.

Luo Sheng's heart was already calculating.

At this time, Xu Yong came with two bottles of beer, sat next to him, and said with a smile: "Tell me the story of your trip, I have wine." ”

Luo Sheng took a bottle casually, took a sip and sighed, and said: "It's the limitations of the times to say it, but it's not good to say it, and it's ...... Forget it, this is fate, it's my fate, and it's also the fate of more than 30 investors I've seen, perfectly missing out on a tech giant with a future market value of hundreds of billions of dollars. ”

Hearing his last words, Xu Yong almost didn't choke, and immediately said: "Hundreds of billions of dollars in market value? Do you think of yourself as Bill Gates? No wonder you can't get investment ......"

Luo Sheng smiled: "It's not that there is no gain, this trip is still very necessary, why?" Next time, you can know that these people can be eliminated, so as not to waste time, we still have some money, if you encounter all the rejection when you are in a hurry to use the money, you will want your own life, by the way, how much money is left? ”

Xu Yong: "There are still 150,000 yuan." ”

On the way back, Luo Sheng also thought about the reasons for the failure, you can't blame the investors for not having a vision, they also have some problems, if the website develops well, has a small reputation and can even be noticed by the industry, maybe there will not be more than 30 investors have refused.

After returning to Shencheng, Luo Sheng began to focus on the development of the blue space itself.

……

Before I knew it, a month passed, and it turned out that Luo Sheng was right, and in the next month, the popularity of the B community on campus became faster and faster.

The Internet world and the capital circle have finally attracted attention, and they have even spread across the ocean to Silicon Valley.

Nowadays, the topic is even more than QQ, and in universities that have been able to use community B, most of the students on campus are chatting about community B, looking for new friends on it, and so on.

People are crazy about registering, and in the past month, Luo Sheng and the two of them have almost been in a continuous burst of livers, and the two of them have to let B Club launch on three or even four university campuses every day.

In just one month, the B community has been promoted from the initial Fuda to more than 100 universities, although it has only been launched in more than 100 schools, but now there is almost no college student in the country who has not heard of the blue space, a popular social networking site, and some college students even talked about the topic of B club on QQ instant messaging.

However, the current QQ can only chat privately, because there is no such thing as a QQ group.

As early as March 7th, after the launch of Community B at Jiaotong University on the same day, within a day, 70% of the students in the school registered the accounts of Community B, and the development speed can be said to be unparalleled.

Now, even the current social giant QQ was taken aback, and the entire Internet and investment circles were stunned.

The overall scale is not large, but the growth momentum is quite impressive.

This represents potential.

It is no exaggeration to say that since the dot-com bubble burst, Blue Space is a social networking site that has been the most eye-catching new website so far.
