Chapter 328: The Most Impulsive Right Decision

The quiet box is filled with the aroma of tea.

Facing Lei Yan's straightforward approach, Fang Nian calmly replied: "Yes." ”

There is no superfluous exposition, and the tone is calm and calm.

Looking at Fang Nian, Lei Yan's body leaned forward slightly: "I'm more curious, Fang always didn't have a misunderstanding about me, and now I don't even have a company." ”

Fang Nian said with a smile: "Mr. Lei has already set up a company in the Cayman Islands in January. ”

Lei Yan immediately reacted: "Mr. Fang has already done due diligence on me personally?"

Fang Nian said calmly: "I have no social experience, and it is risky to be an angel investor, so I finally thought of a way that is not a way, go with the successful people who start a second business, and take a ride." ”

Lei Yan was noncommittal.

"But it's not an easy road. Fang Nian sighed.

Lei Yan still didn't make a sound.

Of course, he knew that Fang Nian meant something.

For example, Lei Yan is actually very realistic, he really doesn't even have a company.

On the surface, he didn't even decide on the direction of starting a business.

But even in this case, it is not that whoever wants to vote for him will accept it.

It is also the reason why Lei Yan mentioned by Guan Qiuhe why he wanted to see Fang Nian.

It's one thing to be interested, it's another thing to accept an investment or not.

Especially Lei Yan himself is now an angel investor, and his network is very extensive, as far as Liu Qin, who was known by Fang Qian's life, the two have known each other for more than fifteen years now.

This is true for people like Lei who are not resistant to investment.

Not to mention other people who are starting their own businesses for the second time.

It will only be more arrogant.

Lei Yan didn't speak, and Fang Nian was not in a hurry, he calmly twisted the teacup and drank the tea slowly.

said: "Actually, my first idea was to follow the direction of angel capital and only invest in acquaintances." ”

After a moment of conversation, he suddenly said: "So, today I also want to take this opportunity to ask Mr. Lei for advice." ”

Lei Yan's eyelids jumped: "......"

He wanted to call the insider in his heart.

I didn't expect Fang Nian to have this operation at all.

Even Guan Qiuhe, who was in the know, was stunned, and the topic changed a little too suddenly.

"Mr. Fang is worthy of being a young man, and his thinking is unlimited. "Lei Yan had to snort.

Fang Nian's face was calm, and he said with a serious look: "Mr. Lei's repeated investments in the past few years have basically proved successful so far;

For example, Lakala, UC, Vancl Eslite, etc. ”

"The number of angel investors in China is too small, I am lazy, I chose this industry, but after entering, I found that it was not so easy, I could only cross the river by feeling the stones. ”

“......”

Fang Nian's words can be regarded as nine true and one false 'heartfelt' words.

Fang Nian had never done angel investment in his previous life, but his advantage was his experience in his previous life.

So, what's not so easy, crossing the river by feeling the stones, just listen to it.

However, when these words fell in Lei Yan's ears, they seemed very real and sincere.

First of all, Fang Nian mentioned that he Lei Xian has been very successful in these years, which makes people feel happy.

In addition, in Fang Nian's memory, Lei Yan has expressed his views in media interviews and public several times:

The number of angel investors in China is too small, so that many companies that may be excellent are stillborn and unable to stand out.

So, at a certain moment, these thoughts inspired one of the most inescapable weaknesses of human beings: being a teacher.

Looking at Fang Nian's eyes that were so clean that he only had curiosity, Lei Yan picked up the teacup for the first time after Fang Nian and Guan Qiuhe arrived, and slowly finished a cup of tea.

Pondering and speaking, he said: "I haven't been doing angel investment for a long time, and my experience is far from rich. ”

"So far, I have only summed up a small lesson, first of all, my most basic principle is to only vote for acquaintances.

I think angel investment originated in Western countries is essentially a gangster. ”

Listening to what Lei Yan said, Fang Nian nodded in agreement.

Lei Yan can be regarded as the first angel investor in China to clearly express that he only invests in acquaintances.

There's an unconfirmed story here.

Lei Yan continued: "There are not many lessons learned, invest a small amount of money that is not very much, and borrow at most twice the money;

If you want to do angel investment, you must not give up because of one or two failures. ”

Hearing this, Fang Nian said with deep emotion: "Every word is fine, and it is taught." ”

Lei Yan said a few polite words, and then changed the conversation.

"I heard that Mr. Fang voted for Mr. Guan's 'greedy fun'?"

Fang Nian glanced at Guan Qiuhe on the side, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Guan and I are old acquaintances." ”

"In fact, this is also an angel investment, when Mr. Guan started his business, I invested part of the funds, but at that time it was a personal identity, and now the additional investment has transferred the shares to the company's name. ”

This is the first time that Fang Nian has disclosed his identity as a 'greedy and fun' shareholder to the outside world.

Let's put it this way, although Fang Nian has limited participation in the affairs of 'greedy fun', the management knows that there is such a person.

However, in the actual documents, Fang Nian personally did not hold shares.

What binds is the agreement document signed privately between Fang Nian and Guan Qiuhe.

This was something that was determined before the registration of 'Greedy for Fun' last year.

Fang Nian's preparation sometimes ends quite early.

Lei Yan's face suddenly appeared: "So that's the case." ”

Then he asked: "Last year, the 'greedy for fun' situation went from good to forced decline, and it stands to reason that Fang always chose to add another Pre-A round at this time, is there any good news." ”

Fang Nian's heart moved, and he said quietly on the surface: "Indeed." ”

"The crisis experienced last year gave 'greedy fun' a head start, and finally decided to start the transformation of 'greedy for fun', and the specific things are relatively clear. ”

Hearing this, Guan Qiuhe took over the conversation: "After a period of development and research and development, we are about to launch new products. ”

"What kind of product?" said Lei Yan curiously.

Guan Qiuhe glanced at Fang Nian and said, "A game platform." ”

"Game platform?" Lei Yan muttered, and then looked at Guan Qiuhe and Fang Nian: "'Greedy for fun' intends to accept external capital injection?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the crisis that 'greedy for fun' faced last year was a crisis of capital. ”

What Lei Yan means by this sentence is that he was so resistant to capital last year, why does he have the idea of financing now.

Facing Lei Yan's curious gaze, Fang Nian replied with a smile: "It is also because of this crisis that Mr. Guan and I will sit down and seriously think about the company's transformation." ”

"From our analysis, Internet entrepreneurship is actually a jigsaw puzzle, in fact, it needs to be very cautious and completely independent and personalized.

In the current era of market economy, it is difficult to adapt to the development of the market alone;

In particular, Mr. Guan and I have understood a truth, we are not genius entrepreneurs, we must let go of our own face.

Accepting capital has become an inevitable choice for the development of the company.

Shares are the most valuable thing in our hands, and it is easy to become a bondage, so in the end we unanimously decided that the shares should be reasonably shared with like-minded friends and capital;

It's better to be afraid of too much sound than not to make any noise at all. ”

Guan Qiuhe keenly found that Fang Nian's words expressed a lot of meanings that were obviously different from before.

And to her ears, it seems that it was specifically said for Lei Yan.

Sure enough, the next moment, more smiles appeared on Lei Yan's face: "I didn't expect Mr. Fang to think about the company's entrepreneurship so thoroughly." ”

"I agree with Mr. Fang's point of view that Internet entrepreneurship is a jigsaw puzzle. ”

As he spoke, Lei Yan suddenly changed his words: "How much money did Mr. Fang invest in 'greedy fun' this time?"

"Thanks to Mr. Guan for giving me this opportunity, I only used 28 million to count the previous shares, and I got 7% of the shares, which was almost invested according to the company's assets. Fang Nian said with a smile.

Lei Yan was slightly puzzled.

Guan Qiuhe explained simply: "At present, the company's fixed assets are about 500 million. ”

"In this way, Mr. Fang is really unseemly, your cutting-edge angel investment should have a lot of assets. Lei Yan said with emotion.

Fang Nian said shyly: "It's okay, the company doesn't have much cash at present, only fifty or sixty million, and more than two hundred million in assets." ”

Lei Yan was surprised: "Mr. Fang is awesome." ”

“......”

This is the result of Fang Nian and Guan Qiuhe's left-handed reversal of the right-hand operation.

With a 28 million that is still unwarranted, the value of the 'greedy and fun' asset soared, and the valuation was even divided into 1 billion.

Let the cutting-edge angel investment with nothing turn from 0 to more than 200 million assets.

However, Fang Nian transferred all the shares to Guan Qiuhe when 'Greedy and Fun' was established, which was simply a stroke of genius.

Even Liu Xi and Wen Ye, who currently know part of the inside story, didn't understand the asset replacement here.

Fang Nian and Guan Qiuhe's simple algorithm is actually not simple.

Then Lei Yan said: "I know some investment institutions, if Mr. Guan and Mr. Fang are willing, I can recommend them to you." ”

Fang Nian's eyes drooped and he didn't answer.

Guan Qiuhe took over with a smile: "That's good." ”

"I believe that after the launch of our products, we will not disappoint Mr. Lei's friends. ”

Lei Yan suddenly said meaningfully: "If it is the 'game platform' I understand, I think the valuation of the 'greedy and fun' Series A financing may be 1.5 billion yuan." ”

Hearing this, Fang Nian's heart was settled: "It's not in vain that I moved out everything you said in the previous interview, and finally entered the pit." ”

On the surface, he drank tea slowly, calmly and indifferently, and remained silent.

Guan Qiuhe just smiled and said a few polite words.

Lei Yan changed his sitting posture, and said with some emotion in his tone: "I have to thank Mr. Fang for waking up the dreamer with a word." ”

"Although I set up Xiaomi in the Cayman Islands a few years ago, and I also registered Xiaomi in the capital a few days ago, I found out today that I didn't put down my face and didn't enter a good entrepreneur mentality. ”

As he spoke, Lei Yan looked at Fang Nian with a playful expression: "Mr. Fang, I haven't fully planned the development direction of Xiaomi yet, let's not talk about this for the time being, how much can you vote for me?"

"Mr. Lei, this is a problem for me. Fang Nian looked helpless, but he was very satisfied in his heart.

Then he said in a calm tone: "On the basis of now, I am willing to invest 1.4 million US dollars in exchange for 10% of the shares, do not participate in management, and do not interfere in development." ”

Guan Qiuhe's eyelids jumped.

This is valued at 100 million yuan?!

Not to mention such a thing as a business plan, I don't even know what project to do, there is a company with a name and a person, and the valuation is 100 million?

Lei Yan was also stunned suddenly, and even the movements of his hands were stiff.

"Mr. Fang isn't kidding, is he?"

Fang Nian's face was indifferent, and he said calmly: "Does Lei always think I'm joking?"

Seeing this, Lei Yan's face changed slightly, and finally he suddenly gritted his teeth: "Okay, I accept your investment." ”

This time, Fang Nian pretended to be surprised, and then hurriedly said, "Arrange the company's transfer early tomorrow morning." ”

After this dramatic investment was finalized in a few words, Lei sighed: "This is probably the most impulsive and correct decision I have ever made. ”

Fang Nian didn't agree, but said with a smile on his face: "If Mr. Lei tells me what you want to do when it's convenient for him another day, I believe it will be more correct." ”
