Chapter 174: An Investment That Can't Be Refused

When Gu Xiu and his group of three started their tour in Pengcheng, eating and drinking all the way.

The penguin company on the other side is still discussing hotly at this time, not to mention eating and drinking.

Many people are still hungry.

Still, that's the thing.

No one present felt anything, and even many people were in good spirits at the moment.

Excited, no.

"Hahahaha, great, we have finally found a profit model, and we can finally raise our eyebrows once!"

"This time, who dares to say that we will only burn money, and when we make money in the future, we don't need others to invest, and we can even invest in others and be an investor once!"

"That's right, those investment companies before, one by one, are like uncles, none of them can afford us, and we will be able to hold our heads up in the future!"

"I haven't heard of Yuanxiu Investment Company, or we don't want their investment, just go directly to Goldman Sachs and Morgan to accept investment, and if you want to find the biggest."

"I also think that this long-distance investment is too uninteresting, and he dares to engage in any gambling agreement with us, there is no sincerity, we will directly replace people, anyway, there is a way to make a profit, and finding a stronger investor will also help us in our subsequent development."

“……”

At this moment, the goose factory is full of joy.

Everyone's faces were full of smiles, and the previous anxiety had completely disappeared at the moment when they heard that there was a profitable direction.

Instead, there is self-confidence.

It is like a conqueror who is about to climb to the top of the mountain, and it seems that in the next second, he will be able to go directly to the sky to pick the stars and the moon.

It's just that this self-confidence seems to be a bit excessive, and even to the point of being a little conceited.

At least.

Ma Huateng listened to everyone's words, and he had a toothache.

After all, just a few days ago, it was often said that:

"I hope there will be an investor to invest in us soon."

"No matter who it is, as long as he is willing to support us now, he will be our greatest benefactor, and he will not regret it in the future."

"Those big companies don't have vision, why can't a group of short-sighted guys look down on us?"

And now......

Good guy, this is already a bit unsightly, can you casually take out a few million meters of knife long-term repair investment?

Inflated.

It's a little too inflated.

Fortunately, not everyone has such thoughts, and more people are actually more rational.

"Although we currently have a profitable direction, to be honest, after all, this is only in the concept stage, and the final result is not yet known."

"I also think that everyone should not be overconfident, and there is one of the most important problems, we want to try our profit model, which means that we must need capital, but now the company does not talk about excess funds, and it is difficult to hold on to group chats, even if it is a normal instant messaging business, it is difficult to last long."

"In fact, there is another problem, we are going to make a multi-group chat mode, which means that compared to the previous chat room, this kind of group chat will have higher requirements for the server, which means that the amount of money we need is not a small amount."

"We need to get the next funding as soon as possible, which is the most important thing at the moment, which means that even if we really plan to look for other investors, I'm afraid time won't allow it."

"Yuanxiu investment is actually a good choice now."

“……”

Similar words, let the previous expansive faction instantly come to a basin of cold water.

Truly.

Because there is a profitable direction, they are a little overinflated, and they even forget that they are still nothing.

At least for now.

It's not the time for them to pick and choose from various investors, after all, others invest to make a profit, and they accept investment to survive.

They simply can't afford it!

"Yuanxiu investment is indeed a good choice, they are willing to support the investment in us, and they seem to have some other profit model plans in their hands."

"These are actually all we need."

Seeing that the office had cooled down, Ma Huateng finally nodded and spoke:

"As for other investors, of course we can do it, but to be honest, we don't have that time at the moment."

"Accepting investment, especially from some large companies, often takes a lot of time."

"Whether it's the review, the engagement, the negotiation, the final process and the arrival of the funds, it all takes time."

"And we can't afford to spend that time."

Everyone nodded their heads and agreed with Ma Huateng's words.

Truly.

The investment of a large company is not so easy to get, and an investment case can take three to five months at every turn.

What's more, it's an Internet company that has just experienced the dot-com bubble.

Such a company basically means that it will take longer.

It's like the long-distance repair investment is so efficient and fast, to be honest, at least they haven't even seen it before.

"However, the requirements for long-distance investment are inevitably too harsh, and even require voting rights."

"What I'm most afraid of is that investors command indiscriminately, and this kind of thing has ruined a lot of companies."

"That's what worries me the most, if it weren't for the fact that they wanted the right to vote, to be honest, they were really sincere."

Someone spoke up and expressed their concerns.

Naturally, this is also Ma Huateng's concern.

"Actually, I'm worried about this kind of thing, so I'm calling everyone to this meeting."

Ma Huateng's gaze swept over everyone and continued:

"At present, it is certain that Yuanxiu's investment in this company is indeed our best choice at present."

"And the biggest problem now is that what they need is to take away the voting rights, even if they make it clear that it will not affect the current development of the penguins, but the voting rights are in their hands, and no one can say what the future holds."

"Fortunately, they gave us the option of a gambling agreement, within three months, 500,000 meters of knife."

"So, I think, what we need to think about now is not to find someone else to invest in us, but to this gambling agreement, how big our chances of winning."

"Or rather, how can we win in this gambling agreement!"

Speaking of this, Ma Huateng stopped talking, and after seeing that everyone had no objections, he spoke again:

"So, if you have any opinions next, you can put them forward directly, and we will discuss and discuss them together."

"Let's see if it will work to earn 500,000 meters in three months!"

This set the tone for the meeting.

Instead of discussing whether to accept the investment of Yuanxiu, it is better to think about how big their chances of winning this gambling agreement are.

That's the focus right now.
