Chapter 017 [Suppressing While Investing]
Bluestar Technology Studio.
At this moment, Lu Siming, Feng Yi and several other team members were surrounded behind Xu Yong, and everyone's eyes were fixed on a piece of paper in Xu Yong's hand.
Feng Yi: "Is it really a cash check for 1 million?" ”
Lu Siming: "It really can't be faked. ”
Xu Yong: "I now have the largest sum of money in my life, a whole 1 million!! ”
Everyone surrounded Luo Sheng, and the two sisters, Erin and Su Yali, had stars in their eyes and were full of admiration.
"Hey boss, I can't figure out why you only need 1 million when we can get an investment of 3 million, so why do you refuse? It's also too ...... This is not scientific, this is not human. Lu Siming couldn't help but say.
In fact, this is also what everyone doesn't understand, but at that time, the team members didn't speak, and they couldn't talk at that time, and now that the VC is gone, everyone has also solved the doubts in their hearts.
Xu Yong gave the check to Luo Sheng, who took the check and flicked his fingers, stared at the denomination on the check, and said: "Never think about taking advantage of a small advantage, see that there is a advantage to take advantage of and be tempted, generally allowed to have an accident, there are often traps behind it, even if it is not, the gains outweigh the losses, take advantage of a small advantage now, and you will suffer a big loss in the future." We are a start-up team, and in the early stage of the company's development, we don't know how to really use the leverage of capital effectively when we get a lot of money. ”
"Capital can be a life-saving medicine, but more often it is a deadly poison, if the use is not in place, it will suffer, take less money not only to avoid this invisible harm, but also to use the value of capital step by step, so that capital for my use, instead of becoming a slave of capital."
"If I take 3 million now, I will have to sell 24% of the company's equity according to the valuation after financing, but if I take 1 million, I can only sell 8% of the equity, and the valuation is less than 2 million, but it doesn't matter. We first use the money to run the company better and healthier, and when I spend all the money and then find a VC for pre-A round of financing, the negotiation has a bigger bargaining chip, and we may get 50 million pre-A round of financing, but the shares sold plus angel round financing can also be controlled below 20%. ”
Hearing Luo Sheng say this, everyone suddenly realized, they didn't expect him to be so long-term and thoughtful, Erin held her chin with her fair hands and said unabashedly adoring: "Brother Luo, you are so powerful~~, in addition to computer science, not only can you play the piano and create excellent piano music, why do you have such a deep study of law, it seems that you are born to ...... everything"
"Uh......" Luo Sheng coughed lightly, naturally he couldn't tell him that I was a soul from another world, and then smiled: "It's not as exaggerated as you say, the truth I understand about legal issues is just a little scratch of the surface, this is still influenced by my mother, she is a very good professional lawyer, and she is a consultant for several large companies, besides, no one is born with it, if you want to say that people are born with things, there are only two things?" ”
Erin: "What two?" ”
Luo Sheng was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "Wow, wow, cry and eat." ”
"Haha~~"
"It makes sense, I'm speechless."
They didn't know that the news of Tengxun's angel round of financing appeared on the news of the Internet sector the next day, which was further concerned by the Internet and investment circles.
In fact, there have been a lot of news about the blue space website in the Internet sector, in the case of the downturn in the industry environment, the blue space website is like a ray of light, although the current volume is not large, but no one cares about this, is concerned about the growth rate.
Its growth rate is undoubtedly the envy of many industry insiders, and more and more industry insiders have begun to analyze and study the blue space website, which is inevitable.
……
Tengxun headquarters.
"Blue Space will surely become QQ's biggest number one competitor in the future? Do you really think so? Mr. Ma was very surprised to look at Xu Chenghua, who came to report back to the headquarters.
"Yes, it's still in the early stages of development, and I can't come up with reliable and convincing data to back up my judgment, but in terms of my personal intuition, this team, especially the young founder Luo Sheng, feels like a natural entrepreneur and leader. I think we should take the blue space to the strategic level of the company, we have already ignored it once more than a month ago, and the same mistake cannot be made a second time. ”
Xu Chenghua said and nodded affirmatively.
Mr. Ma, who was sitting in the boss's chair, couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hands, "From what you just described, Luo Sheng, a young entrepreneur, is indeed impressive...... It makes sense, the same mistake can't be made a second time, since the acquisition plan failed, let's concentrate on launching our R community, let the person in charge of this project for a period of time in advance, can't be delayed, and give me half a month to spell it out, if you can't spell it out, the person in charge will resign voluntarily. ”
R community, this is a new website of Tengxun, that is, it was born in imitation of the B community.
Mr. Ma added: "However, the investment in Bluestar Technology cannot be left behind, and our company must actively participate in the subsequent rounds of financing." At the same time, it is also necessary to suppress it in an all-round way without reservation, and as long as it cannot be beaten to death, it will be beaten to death. ”
Xu Chenghua nodded: "Understood!" ”
While frantically suppressing, Bluestar Technology wants to lack money and does not hesitate to invest money in each other, which seems to be self-contradictory and incomprehensible.
But this just highlights the pattern of the big guys, so if the R community wins, it will be a big victory, if the R community loses the competition, but Teng Xun can never be said to be a loser, because Teng Xun is the major shareholder of Bluestar Technology.
From the perspective of investment and management, the two hands of preparation seem to be contradictory but perfect to hedge the potential risks as much as possible, if the R company fails to compete, and does not invest in Bluestar Technology, it will be a complete failure for Teng Xun, even catastrophic.
In the current Internet industry, any Internet company that has achieved the top position in the industry does not dare to say that its leading position is unbreakable.
Mr. Ma is also an entrepreneur, Teng Xun has not yet been listed, and the company was almost stillborn in the early stage of development, and the sense of crisis is a problem that he often thinks about.
……
Time passed day by day, and half a month later, Tengxun launched their new product, and the R community was quietly launched in a hurry, and the R community was launched in advance in colleges and universities that had not yet launched the B community, and QQ used its own user base advantage to drain traffic.
The first strong competitor of the blue space finally appeared, and the era of comfortable expansion lasted for a month and a half, and ended with the launch of the R community.
With the launch of QQ, that is, the R community, under the dual advantages of Tengxun drainage + abundant funds, and adopting the strategy of avoiding competition with the blue space first, and grabbing the blank area market first, the user growth of the R community is also climbing with an amazing efficiency.
Within a week of launch, the user growth rate broke 200,000, and within half a month, it exceeded 500,000.
If the popularity of the B community shocked the industry and has not yet reacted, the launch of the R community has undoubtedly ignited the enthusiasm of the entire industry.
After the launch of the R club, other follow-up followers no longer hesitated, and in a certain development studio, a project called [51 Personal Space] was established, and similar projects such as [Campus Network] were established......
