32. Entrepreneurship and investment
It was a great time to see each other.
During the meal, Guan Huang noticed that he had snubbed the Bai brothers and sisters, no matter how he said it, they were purely helping.
After that, he no longer discussed technical issues with Zhang Bo, and talked about the ups and downs in Beijing.
At this time, the hottest entrepreneurs are naturally Yu Jiawen, who founded the super curriculum, and Ma Jiajia, who is the Communication University of China.
The former raised tens of millions of dollars last year, and was quite in the limelight, and participated in CCTV's talk show "Young China Says" in November. ”
On the day the latter graduated from the Communication University of China, he opened a creative sex toy store near the school, and the photo of the two vibrators with a cute face spread all over the Internet.
Compared with those bitter and bitter predecessors, their entrepreneurial motivation comes from "fun".
Known as a new generation of entrepreneurial idols.
Zhang Bo said with a smile: "Although Mr. Guan is also a post-90s generation, his work habits are not like those of his peers at all. ”
Guan Huang thought about it seriously and replied: "Maybe it's because I was influenced by heroic stories since I was a child, and I set up lofty ideals very early, and then after several changes, I finally decided to start a business and take it as my life's pursuit." ”
It's not that he's bragging.
Who doesn't have a time when he was young and frivolous
When he was in high school, he made a vow to marry three wives.
If someone else says that, it must be exaggerated.
However, coming out of Guan Huang's mouth, it has convincing power, after all, tens of billions of companies are not casual words.
Superman can be ranked in the top 30 of Internet entrepreneurship.
Zhang Bo agrees, "great entrepreneurship comes from great dreams, for entrepreneurs, dreams are not a slogan, not to mention the decoration of hypocritical life, but the deep reason for entrepreneurship, is the corrector in entrepreneurship, is the lighthouse in the entrepreneurial voyage, it can not be seen or touched, but always dominates your life." ”
Only after having experience can I better appreciate the power of dreams.
This is not a false void.
If you have a dream, you don't feel bitter about anything.
The greatest motivation of people is not money, not women, not power, but internal drive, a drive from the heart to change the status quo.
I still remember that when I was in the college entrance examination, I devoted myself wholeheartedly, ignored the things outside the window, and devoted myself to my ideals......
Bai Xiaomi was stunned on the side, why, it blew as he spoke
This forced pretend, fresh and refined.
I've had big dreams since I was a kid......
I am determined to change the world......
Heroic feelings......
Guan Huang: "As for fun, I don't dare to agree with this reason, no matter what aspect of entrepreneurship, it's not fun, do you know why you should start a business early?"
Bai Xiaoya was very attractive, "Why"
"Because you have to stay up late and work overtime, entrepreneurship is a physical work, staying up late and working overtime is a common thing, especially in the early stage of entrepreneurship, you can't afford to hire people, and you can't hire the right person. The sooner you act, the better your physical energy and the more time you have at hand, the better your chances of reaching the other side of victory. ”
Bai Xiaomi was stunned, hearing this point of view for the first time.
Young people start businesses because they have good physical strength, and this is not to move bricks
Zhang Bo echoed with a smile: "When you are no longer young, whether it is energy or passion, it is more difficult to start a business." ”
Bai Xiaomi didn't expect her senior brother to be able to lick anything, and she was amazed.
However, what I didn't expect was that the other party was not over yet, so I just heard him continue:
Although it is often said that foreign entrepreneurs are middle-aged and elderly people who have had successful experiences, in fact, authoritative studies show that 47% of enterprises in Silicon Valley are founded by entrepreneurs under the age of 30, and the higher the market value of the enterprise, the younger the founder.
In fact, 67 percent of U.S. startups with a market capitalization of more than $500 million have founders under the age of 30. Therefore, it is the right time to start a young business, which is why Mr. Guan can be the boss and I can only work part-time. ”
Several people burst out laughing.
This sycophant shoot, I can't help but say a word.
White millet learned a lot from it.
Look at the senior brother, not only has the ability, but also has emotional intelligence, no wonder he is in a high position at a young age.
The future is limitless.
After talking and laughing for a while, Zhang Bo brought the topic into the preset track, "By the way, Mr. Guan, there is something I haven't understood. ”
"What"
Zhang Bo: "That is, Superman's several financings, why is there no participation of top venture capital, if the angel round and A round of financing are because Superman's name is unknown, then by the time of the B round and C round, Superman has entered the eyes of all capital, why ......?"
Guan Huang smiled "haha", "I understand what you mean, I don't have any prejudice against venture capital, and I am willing to attract people with lofty ideals to join, as long as the conditions are right, I will not refuse to come, whether it is Ahri or Goose Factory, it doesn't matter." ”
Zhang Bo breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought that Guan Huang didn't understand the magic of capital because he was young and vigorous, but now it seems that there is something else hidden.
It can be said that times have changed, and no company can expect a 20-year or even 10-year growth cycle.
If you can't be the market leader in 5 years or at most 10 years, you're going to be a winner-take-all.
Modern society is an era in which capital and industry are closely integrated, and only with the help of the power of capital can it be successful.
To not let their business lose at the starting line, entrepreneurs must learn to deal with capital.
If you don't raise money, your competitors won't stop.
Guan Huang naturally knew that his previous behavior was a bit strange, and it was a bit stupid to give up top venture capital and take the money from the Rose Fund.
After all, everyone knows that big-name investment institutions have not only connections, but more importantly, intelligence systems.
Data companies, media relations, public opinion monitoring, and insider intelligence constitute a complex, efficient, and mutually verified intelligence system.
The information provided by this intelligence system will support investment institutions throughout the entire process, from project selection and investigation to post-investment value-added exit.
What's more, without the participation of capital bigwigs, how can the company's valuation be blown up
Just like before the IPO, how can you go to the market to cut leeks without paying for tickets
The Rose Fund, which has nothing but the ability to give some money.
Many people don't understand Guan Huang's choice.
Zhang Bo is one of them, you must know that the last financing, Baidu was also rejected.
Therefore, as soon as he joined the company, he couldn't help the doubts in his heart.
It was rumored before that the reason why Guan Huang chose the Rose Fund was purely because he was confused by beauty, after all, the head of the beautiful woman also has a bit of a thin reputation in the rivers and lakes.
After coming into contact with Guan Huang, Li Bo was almost certain that such a person would never give up the persistence in his heart for the sake of a woman.
