Chapter Eighty-Eight: Work Arrangement (Third Update, Fierce Requests for Collection)
To have a manufacturer like Mindsky, which has both independent intellectual property rights and the ability to produce relatively accurate primitive brainwave receiving devices, is indeed very helpful for the realization of Duke's ambitious plan, and it can even be said to be one of the key issues for the success of the entire business plan.
But now the question is, how many production patents does this company own, what is the current valuation, and will Duke be able to raise enough money to buy this company?
"Susanna, you're too far-sighted, but," Duke turned his head from the other end of the computer to look at Susanna, but immediately wanted to turn to stare at it again.
Because Duke's eyes involuntarily aimed at the extremely majestic and white place on Susanna's body, it was not that Duke was not pure, but there was really no way, Duke's apartment was more than thirty and less than forty square meters, in such a small space, it was already very good to be able to sit four people.
Duke and Shuya sat side by side, on the opposite side of the left side was Susanna, as Suzanne squirmed a little as she spoke, the devilish figure and the hot V-shaped skirt would immediately reveal a piece of spring light, so that Duke could not avoid it, he couldn't talk with his back to Susanna, right? Although Duke's emotional intelligence has never been strong enough, this basic quality is still there.
But in the face of such a beautiful scene, Duke could only endure the threat of another nosebleed, and continued to talk about business with great difficulty: "But where did we get the funds to buy the company?" ”
After Duke finished speaking, he tried to focus his eyes on Susanna's face, and he was forced to talk about business like this, could this life be a little harder.
Duke raised a key question, the acquisition was a good idea, but the source of the money for this huge acquisition was a big question.
Although Duke can call on a portion of the funds through the channels of SAL. But considering that you want to buy a leading company in the industry, even if it is not clear how much it costs to acquire a company, in any case, the price of a leading company in the industry will definitely not be a small amount.
Judging from Duke's current capital financing capacity, it is not much of a problem to mobilize tens of millions of dollars of investment in China, but it is difficult to say if it needs more than 100 million US dollars in investment funds.
What's more, this is still a new industry invested across borders, and those venture capitalists would rather invest more in SAL with a brighter prospect than in this rather unreliable industry, so it is unrealistic to expect Duke to make up for this potential funding gap.
"I think we might have to win the startup competition to have a chance to get such a huge amount of venture capital." Selena said quietly.
Since no one here can pull such a large amount of money. Then they can only rely on the funds of venture capital, and if they want to impress those old fox-like people in venture capital, they don't even think about it if they don't shine through the entrepreneurship competition.
Of course, Duke can also choose a steady and steady way, starting with a small-scale OEM method and slowly accumulating and developing. However, in this way, the speed of development of the enterprise will be greatly affected.
This is not the best choice, if you can borrow other people's funds to achieve your own rapid development, Duke will never give up such an opportunity.
Selena's words once again speak to the key, highlighting the importance of the entrepreneurship competition. Yes, according to the current situation, the entrepreneurship competition has become a crucial node in the entrepreneurial journey of several of them at Duke.
In order to achieve the envisaged rapid development, it is now necessary to organically combine the company's technological progress, business negotiation and the process of the entrepreneurship competition, and make the best use of the platform and opportunity of the entrepreneurship competition to realize the most critical part of the entire business plan.
The thought of having to win the championship made everyone's passion melt and cool down as if it were snow in a sunny day.
If everyone often dreamed of winning the championship before, it was just a pipe dream, and it was over after doing it, and everyone had no pressure at all.
But now a very promising and wealthy future seems to be in front of us, as long as you work hard, it is really possible, this feeling is completely different, this is not a matter of bullishness and confidence, this is a problem that needs to be fought fiercely with countless geniuses.
"So our business plan can start to work, who will write it?" Duke asked.
To win the championship of the entrepreneurship competition, you need to pass three key hurdles, the business plan is the key to the first hurdle, and it must be able to impress the professor's judging panel's demanding technical review and the venture capital delegation's business prospect review, so what you need to say to the jury must be perfectly reflected in the business plan, because these two jury members are only judged by the business plan.
The second hurdle is the public voting of college students across the United States, the popularity index is directly related to whether or not they can step into the studio of the finals, relatively speaking, the relationship between this vote and the business plan is not so close, according to the current prediction, it has more to do with the entrepreneurial team and the product itself.
As for the public defense at the third pass, hehe, let's go through the first two life and death passes first.
In order to pass the expert review of the first level, the technical analysis and market analysis of the business plan are very crucial.
"I'll write the technical part," Duke asked. To impress the professorial jury, those professors with advanced knowledge, except for an expert like Duke, it is really not suitable for anyone else, so no one disagrees with this.
"I'll take the lead in the business part, but there are some relevant data that we need to collect together," Shu Ya took the lead at the critical moment.
The business part involves a lot of content, market forecasting, competitor research, financial forecasting, channel publicity and a series of topics, there are a lot of things that need to be done, to be convincing, and more importantly, these must be supported by detailed data.
The story has to be heard enough to impress the greedy hearts of VCs in order to hope for enough money to buy the next company.
"Okay, I'm trying to collect some game industry data and some competitor data through some relationships. I can also do some work on the publicity planning. Suzanne also showed the value of her existence in a timely manner.
"You all have things to do, so I'll do some of my old jobs, and I'll do the financial planning." Selena also smiled and contracted the work she was good at.
The four of them said a few words, and the matter was assigned in this way. It was agreed to meet once a week before submitting the business plan to compile information and discuss new plans.
