Chapter 026 [Commercial Gambling? 】
"It's okay, at least it's much better than the last time I came, I didn't even have a reception room." Xu Chenghua said with a joking smile, they are all wealthy people who are worth a lot of money, and the configurable resources in their hands are far more than their worth, compared to high-end environments such as hotels, they VC investors hope to go to the entrepreneurial team's work place to see.
In this way, we can see more useful information, although the net is wide, but it is not a blind coin, not everyone's money is the same as the big dog is no different from the wind.
"It's us who forgive us, we are uninvited guests, uninvited." Liu Wen said with a smile.
The performance of these VCs can be said to be impeccable, and people with little experience, especially young college students, may think that they have met angels and Bole.
But Luo Sheng is young, but he is a two-life person, and when dealing with VC, no matter how kind and angelic he is, he can't change the greedy nature of capital.
No profit can not afford to be early.
Xu Chenghua immediately said: "Brother Luo, let me introduce to you, this is Liu Wen and Liu from the venture capital fund, this is Li Yan, the then vice president of Softbank Capital in Greater China, and this is Chen Tao Chen from IDG venture capital institutions. ”
In addition to Xu Chenghua, who represented QQ, there were also people from three VCs, all of whom were well-known venture capital institutions.
After a few words of greeting, Luo Sheng went straight to the point and said: "You should come here for financing, but I can't hide it, I got less than one-third of the 1 million from Mr. Xu, the company is developing rapidly, and we have a new package of plans, and we do need more funds." ”
Erin stood next to Luo Sheng, she didn't say a word quietly, but her admiration and obsession with Luo Sheng were extremely restless in her heart.
It feels super Man~~
While chatting here, there were also employees chatting outside the reception room, and a new programmer said curiously to Xu Yong: "Brother Yong, what kind of guests is the boss receiving?" ”
Xu Yong said lightly: "The person who came to deliver the money." ”
"Send money? Oh, I see, it's a VC guy, I don't know if I can get financing. ”
Feng Yi next to him glanced at the programmer: "You dare to question the boss's negotiation ability?" Forget it, I'm too lazy to explain to you, a newcomer, and you'll know in the future, why the boss of our team is surnamed Luo instead of Feng. ”
Xu Yong immediately said: "Xiao Yizi, brother, the number two person, is still on the scene, you want to rebel." ”
Feng Yi: "Then what number am I?" ”
Xu Yong: "Look at the job number." ”
Feng Yi: "Uh, No. 7......"
……
At the same time, there had been a chat in the reception room for a while, and then Liu Wen spoke again and asked: "Mr. Luo, what I want to know is, do you have a corresponding solution to the future profitability of the Blue Space website?" ”
Chen Tao and Xu Chenghua also looked at Luo Sheng, Liu Wen didn't say much but was concise.
The issue of profitability is the most important concern for investors.
"Profitable?"
Luo Sheng spread out his hand and asked rhetorically, then withdrew his hand and said lightly: "I will not consider the issue of profitability until the user scale of the blue space reaches 300 million." ”
"What?" Li Yan, an executive of SoftBank Capital, was shocked at the beginning and subconsciously said: "I should have heard it right, 300 million? ”
Others are also dumbfounded, and now the number of global Internet users is only 600 million, and the number of QQ users is only 160 million, and half of the 160 million real people are thankful.
Luo Sheng looked at them and said, "What? Is there a problem? ”
Liu Wen seemed to remind and said: "Mr. Luo, this is 300 million, not 30 million, the current social networking company, QQ has not broken 200 million, you said that the users of the blue space website are more than 300 million?" This cake is too big, and too empty, I don't dare to gnaw, Mr. Li, Mr. Chen, Mr. Xu, do you dare to gnaw? ”
It was also obvious that everyone suddenly laughed and did not make a sound.
Luo Sheng didn't care about their rather sarcastic attitude, and said slowly: "I'm wondering if you were psychologically shadowed by last year's Internet bubble?" In my opinion, this is called bursting and then standing, the bubble pierced and poked out of a "Internet 2.0 era", a new era, in the next five years, the domestic Internet users alone can exceed 300 million, becoming the world's largest single market, with infinite imagination, I can say that at that time, the market value of 10 billion in the industry is only a well-known company, only the market value of 100 billion can be qualified to be called a giant. ”
Everyone was speechless, not knowing where he got his confidence.
For Luo Sheng's optimistic attitude, they even felt scornful, they are all senior investors in the Internet industry, and they dare not say that the future prospects of the industry can be so optimistic.
At this time, Xu Chenghua said: "Brother Luo, it is recognized that the Internet will develop in the future, after all, the growth of global Internet users will continue to rise in absolute value, we assume that the blue space can reach 300 million users in the future, and the current growth momentum of the website does make the entire Internet industry look sideways, so what I want to know is when the blue space can reach 300 million users." ”
Luo Sheng barely thought about it, and replied confidently on the spot: "At most, it will be another year and a half, two years at most." ”
It's really not shocking.
As soon as these words came out, even Xu Chenghua was stunned.
Liu Wen and the others wanted to question Xu Chenghua on the spot: This is the young genius you don't hesitate to boast about? This mouth is full of running trains, and as an investor, I am panicked.
In less than two years, the Blue Space website has reached 300 million users?
Such remarks can no longer be described as conceited and arrogant, even Xu Chenghua felt that Luo Sheng was floating because of some achievements in the blue space, and the results were indeed eye-catching, but ...... Xu Chenghua couldn't help but say, "Brother Luo, I think you're too optimistic. ”
Chen Tao suddenly said: "Mr. Luo, I want to ask you, what is the basis for this self-confidence?" Anyone can say big things, you can't treat VC as a fool. ”
Hearing this, Luo Sheng smiled indifferently and said: "Three points, I am optimistic about the future of the Internet, and its development speed will explode, especially in my country's market; I know better than any of you about the potential of the blue space; I feel the pulse of the times beating violently, and you don't. ”
“……”
Everyone was stunned, and again speechless, because they no longer knew how to describe this arrogant young man.
But in the eyes of Sister Erin, it was a different situation, and she had already fallen for it at this moment.
The talks reached a stalemate, and several investors stopped talking, because they felt angry, funny and a little helpless, if it weren't for the unexpected development of Blue Space, they really wanted to leave.
At the end, Liu Wen said: "Let's think of the ethereal and unrealistic imagination supported by the foundation of reality, let's talk about something practical, no one can say for sure in the future, the development of the blue space is indeed good, there is no doubt about it, so we can't prove or falsify your description Mr. Luo, and we don't want to prove anything." We want to invest in your company and share the risks and benefits, but we need some protection. ”
Luo Sheng said succinctly: "I am willing to listen to you." ”
Liu Wen looked at him and said: "Since you are so confident, let's sign a gambling agreement, if the number of users of the blue space reaches 300 million within two years, there will be no punitive clauses for you, and if it does not reach 300 million, 90% of the shares you hold will be shared by several of our investors in equal proportions, how about it?" ”
In other words, if it is not reached, basically all of its equity will be surrendered, which is not a transfer and sale, but a direct transfer.
When he heard this, Luo Sheng almost didn't have any thoughts, and would never agree to any so-called VAM agreement, in his world, only when he proposed a commercial VAM agreement with others, not when others proposed it to him.
