"What do you mean?" After a long silence, Zhao Xiaoya finally broke the silence.

"Why should we retreat? IDC wants to vote for the opponent, let them vote well, I believe that with the strength of Sister Xiaoya, she will definitely be able to kill the opponent! Feng Yasong said confidently.

"Say it easily, little song! You must know that IDC's energy in the domestic Internet circle is by no means comparable to that of ordinary institutions, not to mention us, even the institutions in China combined, and the influence in the investment circle is by no means comparable to IDC. However, this time they invested in Sinan Technology to my surprise, Xiaoya, why did they choose us? I asked.

"And ...... Xiaoya, you have never said that if IDC wants to become the capital, do they want to become the largest shareholder? What percentage do they have? Xia Qing asked after a while.

"IDC's investment in us is really unexpected, the reason may be related to the layout of cities other than the first tier, and we should belong to the Internet application platform level company, although it is impossible to become a massive platform like a certain treasure and a letter, but it is actually not bad for enterprise institutions."

"As for the proportion question that Sister Tianqing asked just now, I didn't say this just now, they don't want to become the controlling shareholder this time, and the proportion they want will not exceed 49%, but it is true that they really don't want to share benefits with other institutions, so they would rather choose to buy at a one-time premium, and then make a big cake with the founding team." Zhao Xiaoya said.

"This is also in line with IDC's style, and the same is true when they invest in those companies in Silicon Valley, and capital naturally seeks to maximize profits." Xia Qing said lightly that he had worked in an investment bank in the United States, although it was not venture capital involved, but he would naturally be no stranger to a well-known company like IDC.

"In that case, my suggestion is to retreat." I suggested: "As for the reason, IDC will not worry about the capital of Xiaoya when it comes in, and it will not be wary of opponents, after all, IDC is of course ideal as a partner, but if it is an opponent, it will be terrible." In the past few years, start-up teams that have been crushed by large institutions such as IDC are everywhere, and we can't delay Xiaoya's side because of small losses. ”

Hearing me say this, Xia Qing also nodded and said: "Besides, the conditions given by IDC are not bad, as a start-up investment institution, we can return funds at a five-fold premium on the first project, which is not a failure." Also, I guess there's another reason why IDC requires us to opt out. ”

"What is the reason?" Zhao Xiaoya asked.

"I'm worried about our related party transactions! After all, IDC has a lot of eyes and ears in the circle, and they must have obtained relevant information and knew that we had cross-shareholding between Qingtian Investment and Sinan Technology. This may not be enough in China, but it is indeed a flaw in the eyes of institutions such as IDC. ”

"I see!" Feng Yasong, who had been absent, suddenly realized.

"Then let's vote!" Xia Qing proposed: "Raise your hand in support of the withdrawal!" ”

Except for Zhao Xiaoya, everyone raised their hands, although it was not so formal, but after all, this is also the board of directors of Qingtian Investment.

"Then it's decided! Xiaoya, you continue to contact IDC, I hope it can be finalized as soon as possible, and you can make an appointment with each other when you go to Kyoto tomorrow. In any case, we can't let the Kyoto company take the lead! I suggested.

"I agree with Gao Chao's suggestion!" Sunny in summer.

This matter has been settled, if the negotiations between Zhao Xiaoya and IDC go well during this trip to Kyoto, it means that we will no longer be a shareholder of Sinan Technology.

But in return, the 8 million we invested before, Sinan Technology and IDC will repurchase at a premium of 5 times, that is to say, we will make a net profit of 32 million in three months!

The results are not perfect, but in terms of short-term cash returns, it is a good investment.

Just as we got up and prepared to do our own things, Zhao Xiaoya invited a few of us to sit down and said, "I'm still a little embarrassed about this matter, I still have a proposal!" ”

"What proposal?"

"Since everyone is willing to let me go and cooperate with IDC, and if IDC is honest this time, there will be a loss on the side of Qingtian Investment. As Sister Tianqing just speculated, it doesn't seem that I, as a shareholder of Sinan Technology and Qingtian Investment, is not very suitable. Such...... I decided to give up my stake in Sunny Sky as well. Zhao Xiaoya said while thinking.

"Huh? Sister Xiaoya, why give up? Anyway, there is nothing to do on our side, and it will not affect your work on the Sinan Technology side. Feng Yasong persuaded anxiously.

"That's right, Xiaoya, even if IDC knows, it doesn't matter. All they care about is whether Qingtian Investment has shares in Sinan Technology, they don't care if you have shares in Qingtian Investment! Xia Qing persuaded.

"Sister Tianqing, I know, but everyone and friends, I can't let everyone lose, right! Then don't persuade me. However, the condition for me to withdraw from the investment is that my 10% will be used as incentive shares in the company's option pool! I think that with your efforts, Qingtian Investment will soon grow into a big institution like IDC! In the future, you will inevitably have to recruit all kinds of people, you must know that it is not easy to recruit people now, and many cattle people want shares! I will use this 10% as an option when introducing future talents! All right? Zhao Xiaoya couldn't help but reddened her eyes as she spoke.

What Zhao Xiaoya said was beyond everyone's expectations, but after persuading for a while, seeing that Zhao Xiaoya still looked like she had made up her mind, we stopped persuading, after all, for Zhao Xiaoya, Sinan Technology is more important now.

IDC never fights unprepared battles, and the industries they decide to invest in are beneficial nine times out of ten. And since IDC wants to invest in Zhao Xiaoya's company, the next run-in period, presumably Zhao Xiaoya will not be too easy!

A temporary proposal of the board of directors ended up chatting for three or four hours, and seeing that it was not early, I suggested that everyone go to Liu Youpeng's shop for a good meal.

Liu Youpeng's new store opened, except for me and Zhao Xiaoya, Xia Qing and Feng Yasong haven't been there.

Xia Qing was fine, and Feng Yasong almost jumped up with joy when she heard that she was going to eat something good. After all, she is still a child, and compared to this kind of boring and serious meeting, it is the food that makes her more excited.

Before I went, I called Liu Youpeng to book a table, and when I arrived at the store, it was a meal, although it was the first day of the official opening, but Liu Youpeng's new store was full of diners.

Just like the old store on Financial Street, this new store has actually begun to queue up, looking at the diners sitting on the small bench outside the door while queuing and chatting with melon seeds, I can't help but sigh: "There are so many foodies in Dragon City!" ”

"Don't say it, although it is a rich area here, there are few down-to-earth restaurants, either Western food or Japanese food, and the only few Sichuan dishes taste similar to those made in hotels, and they feel ungrounded and less flavorful. Therefore, the store of Youpeng is quite popular here. ”

Liu Youpeng was very busy in the back kitchen, Xiaobai took us to the private room on the second floor to sit down, and brought the menu to us, after ordering, he hurriedly trotted downstairs to say hello.

It seems that as the manager of the new store, Xiaobai quickly adapted to the rhythm here.

"I said Gao Chao, I think that Xiaobai seems to be interesting to you? How can you bear to leave someone else's little girl here to suffer? Zhao Xiaoya said with a smile while holding the side dishes.

Seeing Zhao Xiaoya say this, I instantly blushed, what does Zhao Xiaoya mean? In front of Xia Qing and Feng Yasong, they actually said that Xiaobai was interesting to me.

However, Xiaobai is interesting to me, and Xia Qing and Feng Yasong can also see it. Women are generally the most sensitive to this kind of thing.

Seeing Zhao Xiaoya staring at me curiously, waiting for my answer, I had no choice but to pretend to be confused and said, "Xiaoya, don't make fun of me!" Besides, Xiaobai seems to like to do catering! Besides, there is actually a lot of money to be made from catering! ”

"It won't be more than an investment company, right?" Zhao Xiaoya asked.

"Not necessarily, after all, there are not many companies like us who are so lucky to invest in sunny days, I have read some information in the past few days, saying that venture capital is actually similar to a start-up company, and I am afraid every day, and the project will lose money nine times out of ten. It's like opening a restaurant, don't look at Liu Youpeng, they work hard, but if a store does well, there are many people who earn millions of dollars a year. ”

"So profitable?" Feng Yasong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it.

"Yes, take Liu Youpeng's store as an example, they are in the store on Financial Street, and the store is not big, but I asked him if the turnover is 30,000 or 40,000 a day, and more than 1 million a month. The average gross profit of Longcheng catering is 50%, and the net profit is at least 30%, so if the annual revenue is 12 million, the net profit is three or four million! ”

"This store here is much larger than the one on the financial street, and the consumption here is higher than the store on the financial street. In this way, Liu Youpeng's two stores add up to at least 10 million a year! Zhao Xiaoya said with her mouth wide open.

"So, three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion! I think that compared to high-risk VC or the Internet with a long return on investment cycle, this catering is too much of a reality! Whether you make money or not, you can see it in three months! I said.

"I think Liu Youpeng is quite good, the young man is not silent, but I didn't expect the business to be shrewd. It's just that this Chinese food is a chain, I'm afraid it's still difficult, right? After all, it's not as easy to standardize as a fast-food chain like McKee, Kenji. Zhao Xiaoya asked.

"That's right! After all, the diet of my Great China is still different from that of Western food and Japanese food, we pay attention to steaming, stir-frying, frying, boiling, stewing, stewing, and stewing, and there are countless seasonings, but Western food is nothing more than frying, frying, and Japanese food is all kinds of raw food...... And each chef's skills are different, so you can achieve a hundred dishes and a hundred flavors, if it is the same, it will lose the characteristics of Chinese food! I said.

While we were talking, we suddenly heard a commotion outside, and someone yelled outside: "What a new store is opening!" You have to queue up for even a special place to eat! I don't have to queue anywhere! ”

What kind of person is this! It's not going to be here again, is it?
