Before Aimee and Wei Zhili, the CEO of Paishang e-commerce software, met, Freddy told Aimee in an email: because the process was more difficult than he expected and still couldn't see the results, in order to stop the loss in time, he withdrew from the e-commerce project with his partners, which also means that Aimee's independent B2C e-commerce website that has been invested in for nearly a year has been lost.

Aimee thinks very clearly: anyway, there are usually only three situations for any investment: meeting expectations, lingering, and completely failing, working in the best direction, and making the worst psychological expectations, and this result is not unbearable. Just because Freddy's team can't build a website doesn't mean there's no other way, for example, if they use Wei Zhili's software.

Aimee has always had a kind of blind self-confidence: when you are disliked, even betrayed and abandoned, just because this person is not the most suitable person for you, God is in a different way, and the person who is more suitable for you is sent to you. Don’tcryoverspilledmilk.

Sure enough, the meeting with Wei Zhili was extremely efficient! He recommended one of their company's most basic e-commerce general software, which costs less than 30,000 yuan. Aimee asked Li Xiao to follow their instructions, and it took less than half a day to complete the launch, and it was usual everywhere she went, which made Aimee stunned! "Sure enough, there is still a specialization in the art industry! The sooner I got to know you, I wouldn't have wasted so much time and so much money! ”

"Alas, those of you who do traditional industries just don't believe in the power of science and technology! How many bosses have I persuaded them not to spend money to build their own IT teams, but they don't listen and have to pay expensive tuition. I can tell you that almost all the e-commerce companies that have received venture capital in China are using our software to send merchants, and their own IT departments are set up for venture capital, which is actually just docking and maintaining with our technical team. ”

"Let's take payment as an example, how inefficient it is for one company to talk about interfaces with so many banks! We are a professional software company, we have negotiated with major banks, you can use it directly, and there are many detours. It's a pity, you bosses of traditional industries, you can't persuade you, you don't need to put me such a good thing, you think about it yourself, and the things you make in the end don't all have to be thrown into the trash, so why bother? Wei Zhili looked sad and angry.

"Since Huang Junjie called you Zhili, I will follow him to call you Zhili. I really don't understand e-commerce, should I worship you as a teacher? You teach me well, and I'll help you persuade stupid bosses like me. ”

"That's a good idea! I was thinking about whether to organize a promotion conference, but when you say that, I think it is too necessary! In this way, when the time comes, I will invite you to come and speak the law, are you willing? ”

"If you accept me as an apprentice, I am willing."

"Deal!" Strange to say, Aimee and Wei Zhili met for the first time, but immediately they seemed to have a tacit understanding like an old friend who had known each other for more than ten years, and after working with Freddy for a year, it was still awkward to get awkward.

The website is finally up, but where does the traffic come from? Opening a physical store, no matter how bad the market is, there are always a few people passing by, but getting an online store that needs to be accurately entered into a domain name to find it is like opening a store in the wilderness or even outer space, and there is not even a single fly.

Those companies that took venture capital all threw money into advertisements with all their might, and the boss of the elevator advertising company couldn't close his mouth with laughter: "I didn't expect it, it turns out that these guys who sell goods bitterly and hard, all the money they finally raised was paid to me!" "For a while, if you see who is advertising in the elevator advertisement, you can know who is getting the venture capital.

"Aimee, in your situation, you don't need to take venture capital at all, you have an exclusive brand and source of goods in your hands, and you are already a strong offline brand, just go to Baotao to open a store and sell goods well, there is no need to look at the face of investors." Wei Zhili persuaded Aimee.

"What, go to Baotao? The grade is too low, right? I don't know what brand it is, except for a few people who have taken venture capital and made it themselves, and there is not a single decent big brand. ”

"Isn't this an opportunity? They have always been doing C2C before, and they really don't have an image, but now they are transforming and want to do B2C. After all, Wei Zhili is a professional e-commerce company, and he knows the development direction of these e-commerce platforms.

"My company arranged a person to keep an eye on Baotao, and after their B2C was launched, I was a little disappointed, and I felt that there was nothing unique compared to C2C." Since planning to transform into an e-commerce company, Aimee has been staring at several mainstream platforms, but it seems that there are no waves.

"In short, if you say that you worship me as a teacher, I will persuade you to go to Baotao to open a store." Wei Zhili made a concluding speech.

Aimee is also a clever person, after listening to Wei Zhili's words, he spends time staring at Baotao every day to see what progress and changes are made on it, but the toys on it sell for nine yuan and nine free shipping, and there are a lot of comments that are too expensive.

"When you meet investors, the most important thing is to sell yourself!" Danny gave her surprise training before the first investor came to Aimee.

"When you meet with investors, I accompany you, but I am not suitable to talk much, and you mainly rely on yourself to talk to them. I'm sure I've recommended you to them beforehand, and if there's anything I think needs to be added or remedied after you've talked, I'll work on them again. ”

In fact, Danny knows very well in his heart: he has almost never been in contact with early-stage projects, and he used to do Pre-IPO at the door, but now the development of VC is in full swing, and he is looking for good projects. While watching Aimee deal with these investors, he can also take the opportunity to quickly understand the personalities, preferences, and styles of these different investors.

And Aimee also thinks so: whether you can raise money or not, after a round of exchanges with ten top venture capitalists, what to do for e-commerce basically has a direction. Danny, as an FA, seems to be unenterprising, and Aimee, as an entrepreneur, seems to be unmurderous, and seems to have a tendency to turn every negotiation into a round of discussion.

After talking to the three companies, Aimee proposed to make a summary with Danny: "These investors said that they had invested in e-commerce companies, but they didn't seem to know much about the operation of the invested companies. However, their analysis of my strengths and weaknesses is very good. Do you have any thoughts on what to do with the next few companies? ”
