116 Trust is the cornerstone of finance

After Zhang Jiang's high-spirited Ankang returned to Lujiazui, he fell into the role of a tragic hero. Wu Mo didn't go out to meet customers all day.

Ankang wondered if she wasn't feeling well. After all, women always have one or two days a month when they are not feeling well. It is impossible for a strong woman like Wu Mo to ask for leave, and it is impossible to ask for leave in this life. is simply a model worker who loves the factory like a family.

Wu Mo shook his head and said, "My body is very comfortable." Feeling uncomfortable. ”

"Or is it for Gong Yu's business?"

"What else can be disgusting? Do you know what it's called? This is called a little mouse that disgusts the elephant. Although the mouse is small, the elephant can't do anything about the mouse. ”

An Kang sighed and said, "You're thinking too optimistically. I see, we are little mice, and someone else may be an elephant. You know that although Gong Yu's father's industry is a traditional industry, the cash flow is not ambiguous at all. It is not impossible to give Gong Yu hundreds of millions every year to let him practice. Where we go to raise funds, we have to rely on my diligence and your beauty. ”

"Hey, what do you mean by beauty? Am I a professional? Wu Mo has a great opinion on Ankang's sentence.

"Okay." An Kang smiled, "We rely on your professionalism and my beauty to raise funds." Is that okay? ”

Wu Mo stretched his waist and smiled: "Go to Zhangjiang today, do you have any gains?" ”

"Today's harvest is not small. I talked about the establishment of a joint investment fund. The people of Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Management Committee are very interested, and several of our peers also plan to find opportunities for in-depth exchanges. On the project company's side, I asked them to prepare relevant financing materials, and we first screened one round as the fund's start-up project. ”

"That's good news, especially for the startups in Zhangjiang. Are they cheering? ”

Ankang said: "There is no joy and no jumping. Those companies are struggling, and if they don't have the capital, their companies will face problems. On the other hand, if the funders ask for too much equity, they cherish themselves. In this transaction, it was originally the home of financial companies, so let's watch it too. If you can see things clearly, get in the car first. ”

"I've told you before that it's not easy to educate entrepreneurs."

"Yes. At present, most start-up entrepreneurs do not have the thinking of the capital market, and only stay in the simple transaction of you give money and I give equity. In fact, there is still a lot of room for manipulation behind this. If the equity is transferred, you can get it back. Moreover, what you need to pay to get back the equity is not the money in your own pocket, but also the money raised through other investors. Of course, at this stage, there is no way to explain it to them. In case they don't understand and think we have some conspiracy under the table. ”

Wu Mo nodded: "Let's take one step at a time." ”

In the process of launching a joint investment fund with a financial company in Lujiazui, the battle between the two investment companies, Comes and Yusheng, was in full swing.

Ankang once devised several plans to lure enemies into the depths. Everything went smoothly at first, but when it was time to kick the door, Yusheng suddenly stopped and withdrew from the project, catching An Kang off guard.

It's like being at an auction where you're not interested in a particular lot, you just want to put the right pair of gloves in. The shouting again and again also strengthened the confidence of both sides. When his side shouted the last price and waited for the opponent to follow up, the opponent suddenly stopped. As a result, he became the wronged leader.

However, if it is just a competition between two investment companies, perhaps the problem is easier to solve. But things were completely unexpected by Ankang, and under the manipulation of Yusheng, the competition between the two companies became a competition between Kang Mosi and the entire Lujiazui financial circle.

An Kang and Wu Mo completely underestimated the influence of college graduates who had just returned from the United States in Lujiazui, and also underestimated the influence of Gong Yu's family in Shanghai.

This time the war was not a local war, but a full-scale war. Of course, it is not unexperienced that his company has fallen into a passive situation in Lujiazui. When he confronted Zhou Mingfeng before, Zhou Mingfeng had used countless means to trap Ankang's company in an unfavorable situation, and ruthlessly suppressed Ankang.

However, what was united with Zhou Mingfeng that time was only an investment company that had a certain connection with his company. And this time is completely different, what Gong Yu unites is the power of the entire Lujiazui financial circle. This is very puzzling for Ankang.

In fact, peers in the financial circle cooperate more than compete, because the cake of project investment is big enough to satisfy all investment companies. Therefore, most of the companies and individuals in the circle are still mainly cooperative, and rarely engage in head-on confrontation. After all, they are investors, not operators.

In particular, the cooperation in the financial circle of Lujiazui has a fine tradition to speak of. After all, each investment company is involved in different fields, and the same field varies depending on the stage of investment. Some only do angel investment, some are venture capital after angels, some focus on PE before IPO, and some are doing strategic mergers and acquisitions.

Regardless of the area or stage of focus, these financial firms often receive a wide variety of projects. Therefore, there is a mechanism for recommending items in this circle. Sometimes this kind of recommendation mechanism is more rigorous, and the recommendation process will be followed only after the appropriate commission is negotiated. But most of the time it's more open, and free referrals are common. After all, the resources you can get, others can get them.

Moreover, this circle is very small, if a company or a person seems too stingy, then the company and this person are difficult to mix in this circle, unless he has some kind of key resource or exclusive resource in his hand. If not, it is better to make the resources public. Your generosity can also be exchanged for the generosity of your peers. You provide resources for free, and you can get resources for free from others. This is a mutually beneficial approach.

Therefore, the first impact on Commosi did not come from the incidents of peer order grabbing and suppression, but from the isolation of peers. This isolation includes not only the blockade of information, but also the exclusion of Ankang, Wu, and the investment managers of Kangmosi from various forums, meetings, and even dinners.

This negative influence is not only fermenting in the financial circle of Lujiazui, but even extending to Zhangjiang. On more than one occasion, Ankang received calls from the staff of the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Management Committee and the person in charge of Zhangjiang's start-up company, asking if the company had been in trouble recently.

This has caused great distress to Ankang. In the financial industry, the most important thing is not financial strength, not personal ability, but trust. If a financial company or an investment manager loses even the most basic trust, no matter how much money and ability there is, it is impossible to get mixed up in the financial circle.
