"Don't worry, just change it, strategic investors, there must be a share of you, but I'm afraid it will be too late for me to go public, and I can't be in the Hong Kong stocks, so I have to get some US dollars."

Strategic investors generally fall into two categories.

One is financial investors, that is, the type of listed cash-out.

The other type is industry investors, that is, large domestic and foreign enterprises and large groups whose main purpose is to achieve industrial transfer and development, and are the strategic investors that enterprises really want.

But if you want to go public, both types of companies are in need, the optimism of investment banks, and the favor of industry bosses, can prove the potential of this company, and the introduction of such companies as shareholders in a round of financing before listing will undoubtedly enhance the confidence of shareholders.

This is also the reason why Baidu did not look down on NIO at that time, and they only had the last round of financing left in their plan, and they would go public in the United States, and they would definitely introduce some international giants to join.

The prestige of NIO is still not strong enough.

"Yes, in fact, I think if you are a professional investor, you will make money faster, and we can cooperate."

Tong Shicai has been amazed by Qian Cai's vision, Qian Cai invested in that NetEase, recently he also understands, the Internet this year's big hit, he can hold from less than 1 US dollar to now, has the stability of an investment old man, and practical ability, if you can cooperate in investment, plus his connections and company control ability, it will be a win-win situation.

Qian Cai just smiled and was noncommittal: "Uncle, if you want to engage in Internet investment, I'm afraid the name Hongcai is not suitable, how about changing the name to Ivy Capital?" English name Ivy, if you can move to Shanghai, we can cooperate, not to be an angel wheel, to be a VC, or PE. ”

There are three types of investment, angel round, VC and PE.

The angel round is the incubation stage, small-scale investment, investment is ideas, and most of the contacts are some ambitious and whimsical small company founders, like the big brother who "wants to give him a chance to change the world together", just wants angel round investment, this round, there are many jaw-dropping sand sculptures.

VC is to invest in some successful companies that are incubated, generally have a certain position in the industry, have a more mature idea, but the profit may not meet expectations, investing in such companies has a certain risk, because it has not yet reached the head of the industry, or the field involved may not be profitable, and it is likely to be eliminated by the market.

PE investment is basically the investment of the head of the industry, a company that basically has the strength to be listed, and has been able to obtain resources sustainably in the market and has a market position, just like Teng Xun.

Upward, that's not called investment, that's called large-scale stock speculation.

"Ivy... Shanghai Ivy? Tong Shicai touched his chin.

"Yes, if you come to Shanghai, we can help each other, you are half a fellow countryman, and there is a Ge Weidong, if you are willing to come, we will definitely be able to lay a foundation in the financial investment market in Shanghai."

"I'm thinking about considering... How's that Pioneer Club of yours? ”

"There's already a fourth, and soon, by June, we'll have the first Pioneer members."

……

"Don't forget the past, the teacher of the future."

On February 20, this morning was after a light rain, the ground was a little wet, and there was a crackling sound on the side of the stone road outside the Memorial Hall of the Nanjing Massacre.

Qian Cai took Hu Wei inside, neither of them spoke, Qian Cai took out a mask from his bag, put it on Hu Wei, and wore one himself.

Solemn.

The people at the entrance waited quietly, and the people at the exit were some with heavy feet, some with tears, and some sighs.

Walking inside, there are statues, if you don't look at the words below, it looks like a statue of human performance art.

The largest statue is a woman holding her child and crying bitterly, a civilian with a hideous face who wants to flee, an intellectual who dies with his wife who was raped and injured, an orphan who has lost his parents, a mother who runs away with a child, a 13-year-old boy who runs away with his grandmother's corpse on his back, a middle-aged elderly man who has fled, a girl who kills herself, a confused baby, and an old man who closes his eyelids for the teenager......

Inside, the white bones are the evidence, and the ruins are the monuments.

Bullet holes in the ruins are still there.

Excerpt from Pastor John Magee's Diary:

On December 19, 1937, just the day before yesterday, we saw a poor fellow killed by the Japanese near our residence (No. 25 Luojia Road). Many Chinese are timid and afraid, and when they encounter a situation, they unwisely pull their legs and run, and this is how this person was killed. This happened at the corner of a bamboo fence...... The two Japanese soldiers smoked and laughed at the same time, and killing a Chinese was as indifferent as killing a rat.

Killing for fun, sexual brutality, photos on three walls.

There is no sound, but it is deafening.

A real pile of bones behind the name tag of the victims.

Cruel and shocking.

If a pile of white bones appears in front of you, there are fresh traces of reddened loess on it, and you can even smell the stale smell, without the cover of the word "history", the smell of past wars will really come.

Qian Cai couldn't help swallowing saliva in her throat, her eyes were uncomfortably sore, and Hu Wei beside her was already choking in a low voice, if it weren't for the uncomfortable silence of the crowd around her, she would probably have squatted down and cried.

The crowd walked lightly, and an old man who walked past the photo wall of the massacre stopped, pointed to the photo on the wall, and sighed tremblingly.

"These dogs drip... There is no peace when you die! ”

Qian Cai clenched his fists, and Hu Wei beside him couldn't hold back any longer, squatting down, burying his head in his arms, and his back trembled.

Put the chrysanthemum under the wall of the martyrdom defenders, and come out all the way, many people's eyes are red, and even crying here is silent.

Nanjing is a wounded city.

In six weeks, one-third of the building was broken, and 300,000 people were turned into unjust souls.

This is the catastrophic moment when humanity turns into a beast.

Heavy news to the air with the wind outside, but the depression in Qian Cai's heart did not dissipate for a long time, he finally knew why the ancient patriotic poets used concise language to write down the sorrow and ambition in their hearts, because at this time, if he did not silently recite "Man Jianghong Writing Huai" in his heart to calm his mind, I am afraid that he would have to write a review of tens of thousands of words, plus hundreds of exclamation points, in order to understand his thoughts.

Nanking! Nanking!

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Hu Wei's sobbing gradually stopped, stared blankly at the statue of the Goddess of Peace, and said in a low voice.

"It's never going to happen again, is it?"

Hu Wei's embarrassed traces of crying were fortunately mostly covered by the mask, and when he looked up and asked Qiancai, he revealed a pair of starry eyes begging for a positive answer.

Qian Cai didn't look at the statue, but pointed to the nine steps below.

"On the steps to peace, every step is achieved by countless people, and those who pave the steps don't have much time to grieve, do you want to participate?"

When Qian Cai spoke, he thought of a lot of things, chips, finance, pioneers......

Hu Wei understood what he meant, wiped his tears, got up and nodded firmly, and took Qian Cai's hand.

"Let's go."

……

In the afternoon, Qian Cai received a call and went to Suguo's headquarters with Hu Wei.

When they entered the conference room, the negotiation team on NIO's side stood up.

Qian Cai nodded, walked to the empty seat reserved in the middle, and shook hands with the three middle of the other party.

Suzhou Fruit Holding Company is not very large, but the negotiation room is very bright, and there is a new carpet on the floor.

"Chairman Qian is really young and enviable." The person sitting in the middle opposite opened his mouth, looking like he was in his 50s, in a suit, meticulous, and similar to Ma Jialiang's aura.

"Mr. Li has won the award, let's get straight to the point, the general direction of your company's transfer of shares has been decided, since the people of our company can't talk about it, let me come over, that's the problem of money, I don't know how much your company's 20% reserve asking price?"

Mr. Li on the other side seemed to know that he was very determined, and said a little unhurriedly: "Mr. Qian, our Suguo brand has achieved a sales scale of 6.623 billion yuan last year, and the number of stores has reached 810. ”

Qian Cai smiled.

810, a lot to say, rural supermarkets, and franchise stores, Yue Lihua also opened more than 20,000 in the previous life! I can manage it, take 200 million, and change 500 in three months!

Sales? We're coming, and you're still going to keep up this sales?

Tong Shicai has already given him a thorough understanding, and now they have opened up their direct units, and the sale has been decided, that is, China Resources must beware of problems, and when Tong Shicai left yesterday, he also gave a suitable offer: 170 million.

It's not far from the premium range in his heart.

"Mr. Li, you're right, Su Guo's brilliance is obvious to all, if it weren't for our little half a year, the results would have been better."

The meaning is obvious: you are brilliant, but we are not easy to mess with.

In the negotiation just now, Weilai seemed to be a little restrained, and when the money came in, Ma Jialiang's expression seemed to be a little ugly, but because of the instructions that Qian had to take it quickly, he kept holding back.

After Qian Cai finished speaking, he looked at Mr. Li opposite, with a relaxed expression, and seemed not to be affected by Qian Cai's words.

Why is the general manager on the other side also here? is so calm, didn't he receive any benefits from China Resources?

"Yes, Mr. Qian's NIO is wealthy, and if we want to fight a price war, we will not be defeated." Mr. Li easily admitted it, and then said with a smile.

"But now that China Resources has joined and established China Resources Suguo, if your company wants to compete, I'm afraid you will have to pay a lot of price, right?"

"Why, Mr. Li thinks that if we win this 20%, we don't have to compete with China Resources?" Qian Cai also asked with a smile.

The people on Suguo Holdings' side began to give Mr. Li a look.

Wrong direction, boss.
