Yan Xiaoqin is not short of money and doesn’t have much idea of ​​money, but she is still shocked by the quote of tens of millions of dollars. “The Qingshan Forum is really worth tens of millions of dollars?”

"Whether it is worth it depends on who the buyer is, but it will definitely not be sold below this price."

Chen Qiaoshan knew very well that it is now a key node in the transformation of the Internet.

Blog.com recently received an investment of 1 million US dollars in IDG Capital, and its users claimed to have reached one million, but in the eyes of people in the industry, there is a lot of water here.

Forums are still niche, and blogs are even more niche among niches, but the rise of the two is in the evening.

Chen Qiaoshan has been paying attention to the Internet. Facebook was just born at the beginning of the year. Before that, domestic SNS social networking websites had already appeared.

As early as last year, Wang Xin gave up his upcoming doctorate degree and left the United States to return to China to establish Duoduoyou, the predecessor of the campus network.

It is exactly the same as in the school, Duoduoyou also relies on the promotion model that disseminates classmates. The first batch of users are also students from Tsinghua and Peking University, but their grades are really barely enough. The total number of users is less than 20,000, and there are even fewer active users.

In early July, Duoduoyou's server was quietly offline. In less than a year, Wang Xin's first entrepreneurship ended in failure.

Chen Qiaoshan was a bystander once, without any intention of intervening.

He knew very well that starting a business must follow the trend, and when the opportunity to produce what kind of products, intervention too early can only be heroic, and Shanda is the best example.

...

Dajue Temple in the west of Beijing, Minghui Tea House.

IDG set this meeting here, and the surrounding environment is quite good, but it is not convenient to get in and out.

Dajue Temple is a thousand-year-old temple located at the foot of the Yangtai Mountain of Xishan, adjacent to the Jiufeng National Forest Park and fifty miles from Zhongguancun.

The magnolia in the temple is very famous. This spring, the college student union organized a spring outing here. Chen Qiaoshan did not participate at that time, so it was his first time to come back this time.

"It's quite cool here." Yan Xiaoqin was the driver today. It was her first time here, and there was novelty everywhere.

Although it is mid-July, perhaps because it is a mountainous area, it is quite cool. The temple has ancient trees and the environment is excellent.

It was about 4:30 in the afternoon. The two of them thought of walking around the temple, so they came over an hour in advance.

There are no tourists in the temple, it is very quiet.

Starting from the mountain gate, the two of them walked casually, with the release pond, the stele pavilion, and the Heavenly King Hall. There were not many special scenery along the way.

Until the Main Hall, a plaque suddenly appeared in Chen Qiaoshan's sight, "no place to go", and when he recognized these four words, he suddenly felt a sudden thrill.

Although Chen Qiaoshan didn't understand any Buddhist verses, he was also confused.

He really has no place to go, and his life has never passed, and the farthest thing can only be traced back a year ago. Thinking about it, he feels a little cold in his vest.

Chen Qiaoshan was a little uneasy and wanted to ask someone. Dajue Temple was another monk temple without monks.

"What's wrong? Don't you go in and take a look?" Yan Xiaoqin couldn't help asking.

Chen Qiaoshan was not easy to explain, so he had to hurriedly walk in, but he no longer had the interest in visiting.

"Let's go to the teahouse and sit for a while."

Yan Xiaoqin asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you just say you wanted to go and see Quanyan?"

Dajue Temple is also known as Lingquan Temple. There is a spring outside the Dragon King Hall at the highest point. The mountain spring flows through the temple, which has eliminated a lot of summer.

"It's almost time. Let's go to the teahouse first. After meeting the investors later, let's go up."

After all, I came here today to talk about serious matters, and Yan Xiaoqin didn't insist.

After entering the tea yard, there were a few hundred-year-old trees in the courtyard, and a few tea tables and small tables were scattered among them, making them look very quiet.

There were no guests in the yard, so the two of them randomly found a shaded location. A waiter in the dress of a female student in the Republic of China came over and said, "Welcome, what tea do you want, please?"

Chen Qiaoshan picked up the tea list and looked at it, "Come on the pot of Taiping Houkui, a dried fruit platter, and then a cold fried red fruit."

After the waiter went down, Yan Xiaoqin couldn't help but stutter, "The tea here is too expensive."

Chen Qiaoshan didn't care much at first, and then he looked at the tea list again, and then he understood why the teahouse was so quiet.

There is no less than 300 yuan on the tea list, but looking at the surrounding environment, it is worth it. If there are more people, you will lose that artistic conception.

"Not that, do you still care about that little tea money?"

Yan Xiaoqin gave him a blank look. Taiping Houkui was eight hundred and eight, and two snacks were two hundred. Although they were not short of money, this kind of high consumption was the first time. "You can't waste even if you have money. You just ordered more than 1,000 yuan."

Chen Qiaoshan relaxed a little, and he smiled and said, "Don't worry, let those capitalists pay for it later."

Yan Xiaoqin was so happy to see him showing this shameless spirit again.

After the waiter brought the tea, the two realized that the tea here was a bag of 100% cups, or a bag of tea could be 2 taels. If you can't finish drinking it, you can store it or take it away directly.

"This fried red fruit tastes good, please try it." Yan Xiaoqin was not very interested in tea, but was very satisfied with the Beijing-style snack in front of her.

"That's for you, sweet and sour taste is not suitable for me." Chen Qiaoshan grabbed a few white melon seeds casually, but did not continue to think about the allusion of "no place to go", and focused on the upcoming meeting.

IDG's intention is very obvious. Since we have made an appointment to meet, we must have an intention to invest.

Kangsheng's platform website has been successfully registered and has obtained large amounts of financing. The prospects are positive, which has attracted investors.

Kangsheng is not short of money at present, and it is only a matter of time before net profit is achieved. However, Chen Qiaoshan does not refuse to contact venture capital. In addition to increasing capital reserves, financing can also strengthen resources and channels.

The benefits of financing are obvious. As for how to choose, Chen Qiaoshan didn't make up his mind and could only act according to the opportunity.

The teahouse was very quiet. Except for the waiter who occasionally came to refill the water, he could not see anybody again. Chen Qiaoshan looked at the following table, and it was still half a quarter of an hour before the agreed time.

At this moment, two men walked into the yard.

The one who walked in front, Chen Qiaoshan knew him clearly was the one who wrote that "the heart of spring always speaks to the wind, and hates the great fame in the world the most."

He was a little uncertain. The one who made an appointment with him today was IDG, and Wang Gongquan was one of the founders of CITIC Capital.

CITIC Capital is a sub-fund of CITIC Capital. Even so, it is a startup fund that is not short of money. The investment amount starts at tens of millions of US dollars. Kangsheng is obviously not listed here, and it should be an accident when it encounters this.

Chen Qiaoshan deliberately met him, but after hesitating, he gave up. After all, this place is a private place and others may not be willing to be disturbed.

Surprisingly, the two newly entered the yard walked straight to Chen Qiaoshan’s table.

Although it was unexpected, Chen Qiaoshan stood up immediately and asked: "Mr. Wang, are you looking for me?"

Wang Gongquan said in surprise: "Do you know me?"

Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "Mr. Wang's reputation in the capital world is hard to know him or not."

This statement has a bit of flattery, but only Chen Qiaoshan himself knows it, and he is more ridiculous.

As the six gentlemen of Wantong, Wang Gongquan is naturally famous in the investment industry.

But what brought him into a wide range of vision was a elopement incident. He ran away with his lover and posted on Weibo to make it public. As a result, he announced his return to his family a few months later. This plot is also bloody.

"You are Mr. Chen from Kangsheng?" Another man interrupted,

Chen Qiaoshan looked at the other party. He was about forty years old, with a thin face, and wearing a pair of glasses, and was quite energetic. He nodded, "I am Chen Qiaoshan."

"Hello, I am Li Xiaojun. This is my business card. Please take care of me in the future."

Chen Qiaoshan didn't prepare a business card at all, so he could only say sorry, so he took the business card handed over by the other party. He took a closer look, Li Xiaojun, the manager of IDG's investment department.

The guest and host sat down, and the waiter brewed a pot of tea again. Only then did the few start today's topic.

Wang Gongquan picked up the remaining bag of tea on the table, glanced at it, and asked, "Is this Taiping Houkui?"

"Mr. Wang has good eyesight." Chen Qiaoshan was a little surprised. This man was really a little tricky, and he was definitely a person in the tea ceremony.

Wang Gongquan smiled and said, "I don't have any good eyesight. The boss here is a cultural person. I heard him say in detail last time that Taiping Houkui used to be a tribute tea, and not long ago he became the tea king of the tea fair. Unfortunately, I'm afraid it will be difficult to taste it again in the future."

Li Xiaojun asked, "What, what else can I say?"

"At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the top Taiping Houkui produced less than 100 kilograms per year. Although it has improved, it is only 300 kilograms. The price is a little more expensive, but it can still bear it."

After a pause, Wang Gongquan sighed: "I heard that Taiping Houkui is going to expand its seeds on a large scale. This kind of tea has special requirements for climate and soil. If it continues like this, it will definitely lose its reputation in the future."

Chen Qiaoshan didn't have this worry, but he just simply agreed.

After talking about tea culture for a while, the topic turned to the main topic.

Li Xiaojun said: "Mr. Chen, I believe you have a certain understanding of IDG. I invite you here today just to get to know each other and find opportunities for cooperation."

Chen Qiaoshan was not in a hurry to express his opinion that IDG was rich. As early as 1998, he promised to invest 1 billion US dollars in China. He could be favored by IDG. Although he may not be able to successfully start a business, it at least proves the value of the product.

"Mr. Li, I am bluntly speaking, IDG's investment in the Internet industry has always seemed to have never invested in non-sea turtles, right?"

It is no secret that IDG's early investment rules have lagged behind in the development of the domestic Internet, and international students have become the mainstream of entrepreneurship. This situation has not changed much before the arrival of the mobile Internet.

Li Xiaojun said: "This is not absolute. As long as the project is suitable, we will not treat it differently."

"Thank you for your attention, but our company has just completed the first round of 2 million US dollars in financing, and there is no need to use funds for the time being." Chen Qiaoshan directly pointed out that Kang Sheng is not short of money, so don't use money to talk about it.

"We have conducted preliminary investigations. Discuz has excellent performance and is highly competitive on a global scale. But so far, Kangsheng is still limited to the domestic market." Li Xiaojun is not a newcomer to the capital market, so he naturally knows how to deal with it. He did not take turns and directly pointed out Kangsheng's shortcomings.

IDG is full name of the United States International Data Group, and China is just one of its branches.

Li Xiaojun's meaning is clearly expressed. As long as the two reach an agreement, IDG can help expand the international market.

Chen Qiaoshan sighed in his heart that he was indeed a professional investment manager. He had found Kangsheng's shortcomings in his first contact.

Jifu Asia is Japan's capital, and its influence is limited to Asia, while IDG is the top five venture capital funds in the world. The influence of the two is incomparable.

If IDG promises to help open up the European and American markets, it would be a good choice to accept them into the market.

Kangsheng is in good momentum and has passed the state of desire for capital. Now, financing is more about development and balance.
