Chapter 1 A Day in the Life of Fund Funder

Zhang Qi is a fund funder, in his own words, a man who lives between being deceived and being deceived.

Investing in a successful project is to make an entrepreneur mistakenly think that with our money you will do better, although the investor plays the role of the villain in most cases, always the bad thing.

And the project that failed to invest, there is nothing to say, it is to be deceived.

Why not, you ask, manager? You don't know that in a fund company, only funder (co-founder) is a person, a manager, just a miscellaneous, as one of the protagonists of our story, of course, it can't be a miscellaneous.

"There is a popular saying that angel investment is to lend money to reliable friends, and venture capital is to lend money to unreliable friends," Li Ping told Zhang Qi.

Li Ping is Zhang Qi's partner, a master's degree who just graduated not long ago, majoring in international trade, is the highest education in Zhang Qi's company, although it is not a turtle, it is also the imperial capital university, and it is a proper brand.

Of course, for an industry like angel funds that is high-risk and extremely dependent on personal ability, no matter how brand it is, a fresh and hot chick like Li Ping has no chance to mix to the level of a funder.

But I can't stand that people have a good father, Zhang Qi's fund Li Ping's father subscribed for a 30% share, so it's natural for the father's money to be used by his son to have fun, isn't it?

"No, if you want me to say, angel investment is to lend money to unreliable friends, and venture capital is to lend money to even more unreliable friends," Zhang Qi replied.

"How does it sound like a resentful woman".

"There is nothing wrong with resentful women, people say that behind every successful man, there is a woman standing. If you want me to say, for our fund, behind every successful case, there are at least ten resentful women standing."

In fact, Zhang Qi is still too conservative, angel fund, if it can have a 10% success rate, it is a god-like existence.

Objectively speaking, although Li Ping is a rich second generation, but like Principal Wang, this rich second generation is still quite capable, at least Zhang Qi is quite satisfied with him, although eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, the problems that the rich second generation should have, Li Ping did not pull it down.

So much so that Zhang Qi gave him a strict order, the rabbit did not eat the grass on the edge of the nest, and Li Ping was never allowed to harm the company's employees. At least when he put on a suit and was serious about business, Li Ping was still like that.

Although Li Ping is a native of Beijing, his father resolutely refuses to let him go to a university like Claydon, but it does not prevent him from talking about English terms all day long.

In his words, even if we are an authentic RMB fund, we must at least get a few old British butlers, otherwise, how to fight with IDG, red clothes and other bull B red funds?

No, Li Ping called, oh no, it's prestige voice.

“Budget!!!“

“Budget“

"I want you to give me next year's budget, how can you let me give you money without budget"

“Understand?“

In the most luxurious office area of the East Third Ring Road of the imperial capital, Zhang Qi's office is always full of similar conversations, between investors and enterprises, there is always a war, either the east wind overpowers the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.

Rongyi Fund is an angel fund in the imperial capital, Zhang Qi is one of the founders, after making his first pot of gold by speculating in the original stocks, Zhang Qi and a few friends founded Rongyi Fund, the name is taken by Zhang Qi, which means that it is easy to get a small goal.

However, when the company was established, there was no famous saying from the principal and his father, "Set a small goal first", otherwise Zhang Qi would definitely call the company "small goal".

If the fund manager is a profession of deception and deception, then the angel fund manager is a profession that is deceived every day and almost never deceives, because entrepreneurs who need angel investment have nothing to deceive.

"My dogs are more decent than them" After watching the various performances of countless entrepreneurs, although there are a few cattle who bluff the host, Zhang Qi often comments on them for the vast majority of so-called entrepreneurs.

Fund managers, not to mention funder, this kind of profession of cheating and being deceived must require people with extremely strong hearts to be competent.

"Why don't women be fund managers", Zhang Qi's wife, after inspecting Zhang Qi's fund for the first time, saw the old men of Yishui, and asked Zhang Qi curiously.

"It's very simple, if you are deceived every day, no matter how strong a woman is, she will enter menopause in advance", although it is a bit ridiculous, but this is indeed Zhang Qi's heart.

Today, Zhang Qi made an appointment with three sets of liars, ah no, three waves of entrepreneurs came to the company for interviews.

At ten o'clock in the morning, it is an Internet education team, known as the eighty-eighth generation of saints, with exclusive teaching secrets. Their business plan has a very good name "Feng Yasong's Internet Gene", which really thundered Zhang Qi.

The main founder of this team, surnamed Kong, is a big man, Zhang Qi thought to himself, this guy must be a good hand when he goes to fight freely.

"Our project will regain the glory of the Confucian and Mencian era"... 500 words are omitted below

"Our exclusive teaching cheats take the idea of teaching to the extreme"... 600 words are omitted below

"Our teaching effect will exceed the current industry level by 85%"...

"I'm sorry, I'll interrupt, this 85%, how did you calculate it", Zhang Qi couldn't help it.

"This is the exact number we get by using scientific methods and the principle of big data analysis, if Mr. Zhang is interested, we can continue to communicate", the person who answered was another person from the founding team, a beautiful woman.

A very innocent look, with a pair of big eyes flickering. After the analysis of the cloud and mountain fog cover, it is obvious that the focus is "we can continue to communicate down".

Routines, they are all routines, Zhang Qi thought, I'm not a chick, I can't hear the implication of your pronunciation of "continue to communicate" is very weird? Many problems are not a problem after in-depth communication between men and women.

Zhang Qi even suspected that this team had done a very careful investigation of their company, because except for the free fighting buddies, the other two people in the team were all beautiful women.

A big-eyed beauty, obviously Zhang Qi's favorite type, the Internet celebrity who had an affair with him some time ago is this type, Zhou Huimin, middle-aged men like this tune.

And the other one, dressed up extremely hot, COS One Piece, don't need to change makeup. Look at Li Ping's appearance as a pig brother on the side, you will know what this entrepreneurial team spends a lot of preparation time for.

However, their work is obviously not in place, Zhang Qi needless to say, the fund was founded by him, and most of the money was taken out by Zhang Qi with real money, and Li Ping, after all, his father still accounted for 30% of the shares. No one likes to throw their own money, or their father's money, into the water just to make a beautiful woman laugh.

It was easy to send away the two "founders" who wanted to have an in-depth exchange. Zhang Qi and Li Ping returned to the conference room as if they had finished a war.

"How", Zhang Qi asked.

"Vote for them, it's better to spend money to directly package two little stars", as a senior rich second generation, Li Ping is obviously not so easy to fool.

"OK, let's just give up on this team, who recommended them?"

"Yuhei"

"Tell him, don't introduce any cats and dogs to me, and then like this, the team he introduced directly asked Xiao Liu to follow, and we won't watch it"

"Okay, it's not like that, although we didn't vote for a few introduced by Tang Ping before, it feels quite reliable, I didn't expect such a direct appearance this time, we really haven't seen the world."

Eleven o'clock, it is a headphone team, the founder is Wang Bee, yes is the singing leather pants man you think, don't say it, the star effect is still obvious, at least the girl at the front desk is diligent, the tea is sent and sent, I can't wait to stand directly next to Wang Daxing, waiting at any time.

However, what satisfied Zhang Qi was that the girl at the front desk didn't do anything that shouldn't be done, such as signing or something, and things outside the scope of work, the girl still adhered to the principles.

"I also kept my job", to be honest, if you really ask for an autograph, with Li Ping's personality of liking celebrities, he really opened the girl, it is very, very possible (especially after Zhang Qi reiterated many times that he can't eat grass on the edge of the nest).

Wang Bee doesn't talk much, it seems that for this founding team, he is a mascot. The main speaker in the team is a very white man with glasses, and the PPT is very tall.

"You're from rice, aren't you?"

"How do you know?"

"Hehe, PPT is so beautiful, it's either rice or goose farm, and the goose intestines are generally in Huadu, and most of them are out of rice."

This team seems to be much more reliable, at least, there are always plus points for those who have mixed with Rebus.

"The competition of the Internet in the future is the competition of entrances" is omitted 200 words below

"The entrance is exclusive, and basically every entrance imaginable is occupied" 300 words are omitted from the following

"Rebus is forward-looking, starting from the hardware of the mobile phone to occupy the entrance and meet all the needs of the user's eyes" The following 500 words are omitted

"Our goal is to meet all the needs of the user's ear"

"Very good", Zhang Qi was really moved by this PPT, and he is a team with ideas

"So, where are you going to start?"

"We first launched a rock brand high-end headset with my LOGO as the brand logo, which was manufactured by Huaqiangnan", and finally there is a place for Wang Daxing.

"But your content is a big problem, can you afford to buy the copyright of a heavyweight IP like "The Dark Side of the Moon"" Li Ping also raised his own questions.

For most entrepreneurial teams, what they are afraid of is not that the fund asks questions, but that the fund does not ask questions, if you lead the team to talk to the angel fund, you carefully prepare the PPT, balabala, and then there is no problem.

Don't misunderstand, people don't agree with you, but don't know where to start asking, or rather, they don't think there is any value in asking questions, listen to me, hurry up and leave with your bags, because staying is also self-inflicted humiliation and meaningless.

If those managers, or even Funder, ask a bunch of tough questions, don't be afraid, they are interested, you have a chance, and if Funder starts asking questions that you think are unreasonable, or even starts messing around, congratulations, they are very interested and ready to start haggling.

At this time, you can consider raising the price a little bit (of course, if you suffer a loss, don't trouble me)

After talking with the Wangbee team, it is already a little more than a little, the star is a star, and as an entrepreneurial team, the fund interview, in fact, in a sense, is to come for an interview, and it must not be a meal. Of course, there are also some teams with big shelves, and it is Zhang Qi who goes to the team's location for an interview.

Investment, that's the way it is, people who are not short of money, there will always be someone on the pole to send you money, you just don't want it, people who are short of money, crying dad and shouting mother, just don't have a fund to look at you.

The reason is very simple, people with money have a high probability of earning more money, and people with no money have a high probability of having less money.

Sending off the big star and his party, Zhang Qi and they had a simple meeting and touched it, and decided that this headphone project would continue to follow up, and Li Ping would be in charge of it next, but Zhang Qi preferred to follow up rather than invest independently.

Because the investment in hardware projects is relatively large, and for FMCG (the investment community generally refers to FMCG as FMCG), there are problems such as production cycle stocking, etc., and the funds are never enough. The co-investment strategy will reduce the risk of the investment.

After the short meeting, the Qiandu takeaway called by MM at the front desk was also delivered, oh no, the Qiandu takeout has been sold. It should be called no group takeaway. Simple three meat and two vegetarian dishes, while eating, Li Ping complained at the same time, he is also a rich second generation, and he eats like a rural worker.

"When the time comes, you earn more money than your father, and you can eat whatever you like," Zhang Qi said.

"My dad doesn't eat as well as me at noon", Li Ping continued to complain.

"That's no way, people say that there is a nobleman in three generations, and when your son grows up, try to make him eat like a nobleman", Zhang Qi gave him an idea.

"My son, I'm going to go to Feicheng Don't Disturb in the past two days, not to ask for marriage, but to find out if there is a good-looking mother-in-law" Li Ping continued to complain.

Well, for this shameless rich second generation, Zhang Qi felt that he couldn't talk, so he stopped his routine lunch in time.

It's been a busy day.

There's also a team waiting in the conference room...
