Chapter 1094 [All are smart people, all are human spirits]
Sure enough, Mr. Zhang also replied bluntly: "I talked with Mr. Liang all night before, and the decision to dissolve the company was also promoted because of this, Qunxing Capital made a comeback to the short video track, in a sense, the prospect of this track is even recognized by Fang Hong, which shows that my judgment is not wrong, and it is not wrong to bet on the general direction of the short video track." ”
The investor of DST-Global nodded: "This is a brilliant statement. ”
Mr. Zhang continued: "The reason for the dissolution of the company has just told you, in the face of a super giant like the galaxy, there is a fast hand next door, and there is a high probability that we will not have a chance to break through in the mainland market, so I discussed with Mr. Liang, quickly cut through the chaos and dissolve the mainland company, immediately go to sea and start a business, and go to the place where the influence of the galaxy cannot radiate, so that there is no need to face this monster, from the current point of view, the Internet giants in Europe and the United States are not interested in the short video track, or have not yet reacted, but this is our opportunity." ”
So it turned out that the investors of DST-Global suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Liang would always give him a back.
At this time, Mr. Zhang said: "I will announce the dissolution of the company in two days, and your previous investment equity is valued at 97.93 million yuan, and I will remit the money to your designated account within half a month, so that you can complete the withdrawal." ”
Hearing this, the investors of the DST-Global institution were surprised again, and withdrew their capital at this converted price, not only did they lose money but also made a small profit of more than 10 million, that is, they lost the cost of time, and it would be good if another person could recover half of the cost.
But he was even more surprised by Mr. Liang's operation, and from the perspective of this degree of support, his optimism about Mr. Zhang cannot be said to be firm.
After a while, the investor of the DST-Global institution immediately made a decision in his heart, and immediately called back with a smile and pretended to be dissatisfied: "I said Lao Zhang, can a steady profit and no loss transaction still be called venture capital?" People who don't know still think that DST can't afford to lose? You don't want to call this money, and I don't want to call me! ”
They are all smart people, they are all human spirits, and some things that don't need to be said are too straightforward, they all understand, and they are not beautiful when they are said too bluntly.
Of course, Mr. Zhang knew what he meant, and he resolutely said that he didn't really want to give a penny? Obviously, you can't do this, but you really can't send the money over, because the meaning of people is actually very clear, aren't you going to go to sea and start a business? You don't need to call the money, you will add up to the price to invest in your new company going overseas.
To prompt the investors of DST-Global institutions to make such a decision, Mr. Liang's strong support he had to pay attention to, it is not meaningful to take the money directly, in case Mr. Yi goes to sea successfully, it will be a loss to the grandmother's house.
What's more, with Mr. Liang's strong support, coupled with Mr. Zhang's move to dissolve the company, even if he fails to start a business in the future, he will not lose all his money, after all, Mr. Zhang's courageous operation is a big plus in the hearts of investors in the capital circle, and the intangible credit has been improved.
If the situation is changed, even Mr. Liang, who supports him, will run away with a bucket, he will definitely send someone to pursue it as soon as possible, and it will never be possible to have the current righteous and awe-inspiring posture, and it is a matter of minutes for capital to turn its face ruthlessly.
At the end, Mr. Zhang called back and said, "Otherwise, ...... like this"
Mr. Zhang proposed on the spot that DST should use the money to reinvest in the start-up company he was about to go overseas and start a new business, and round up 100 million to finance the start-up.
In this regard, the investors of DST-Global got the reply he wanted, and this matter is a logical result.
The two chatted for a while and then successfully ended the phone conversation, and Mr. Zhang immediately called other investors, but the previous investors were surprisingly unanimous that they did not want this money, did not mention the matter of withdrawal, and reinvested in his new venture company at a discount, and would also invest an additional amount in the new round of financing.
All of them are human spirits, and fools will really take money. Not to mention anything else, for Mr. Liang to support him so strongly, it shows that there is something.
How can you do VC without a little risk? What's more, what Mr. Zhang said is very reasonable, and the track that Qunxing Capital attaches importance to also shows that the prospects are promising, Mr. Zhang's failure in China is just that the opponent is too strong, and he will start again in a place where the influence of Qunxing Capital cannot radiate, and if it gets up, then this transaction will make a lot of money.
Therefore, these investors have decisively chosen to follow the car after some trade-offs, which can not only sell Mr. Zhang a face, but also have the potential expectation of high returns in the future, so it is not difficult to choose.
Mr. Zhang's dissolution of the company was promoted by a happy situation, which is also relatively rare, and under normal circumstances, this kind of thing is often a constant dispute or even a court, and so on.
Such a happy situation is also reflected in the fact that although Mr. Zhang disbanded the company, the vast majority of employees still remained, and the core backbone of the team did not dissolve with the company, but signed a contract with the new company.
The smooth and rapid transition can be regarded as encouraging to Mr. Zhang, and the aftermath is handled perfectly, which is also a good start for going to sea.
With the support of various investors, Mr. Zhang's new venture company has not yet been registered, and it has locked in a $100 million Series A financing in advance, and the angel round of financing was directly skipped.
……
It's Wednesday, December 16.
At about 16 o'clock in the afternoon, an outsider came to the villa of Jingxinju, it was Yu Chenliang, he came to Fang Hong's private mansion in a suit and leather shoes, and he knew very well what kind of treatment the person who could come to the big boss's private residence to meet him on the way, which was the qualification of the first-class bigwigs such as Qin Feng, Xu Jingren, and Chen Yu in the galaxy.
Yu Chenliang is calm and moderate on the surface, but his heart is actually very excited now, this kind of treatment is not many people in the entire huge galaxy can enjoy, and being able to come here to meet the big boss is itself a very strong signal to be reused, of course he knows this.
But at this moment, Lin Yun took Yu Chenliang into the villa, took it to the living room on the first floor, and then she left, there was only one person sitting on the sofa in the living room, and it was Fang Hong.
"Sit down."
Hearing the calm voice of the big boss, Yu Chenliang immediately responded and sat down, this is the first time he has been so close to the legendary creator of Qunxing Capital offline, although he is much older than him, but at this moment, the aura of the boss of the boss makes him quite restrained, which has nothing to do with age and qualifications.
Fang Hong didn't pay attention to this, and immediately said: "It's been half a month since Douyin was launched, and the start is very good, but this is the light that has been stained with the resources of the entire galaxy, and it should be a good start." But the birth of a good product is not achieved overnight, and it needs to go through a lot of polishing in the early, middle and late stages, so the overall strategy of the team is very important. ”
Hearing this, Yu Chenliang nodded quickly, and immediately took out a document from the briefcase he brought with him, which was a strategic plan for the development of Douyin that he had prepared.
