Chapter 453: Sacrifice Flag
Chen Qiaoshan was not surprised by the market's stress response.
Since the Internet bubble burst, more than half of the funders who used to wield US dollars to find projects, financing has become a very difficult thing, and the problem will not take a day or two.
In fact, there is not no capital in the market. The main reason is that after a round of reshuffle, risk aversion is more serious, and venture capital prefers mature projects to avoid unnecessary risks.
Chen Qiaoshan saw this right. He couldn't afford to spend a lot of money to compete for mature projects, but it was the most appropriate to do angel investment.
Because the timing was just right, with the support of the webmaster conference, the market's reaction even exceeded expectations.
The afternoon venture capital exchange meeting was arranged in the multi-purpose hall of the VIP building, which could accommodate nearly 200 people. It was originally enough, but after the news spread, the ticket was instantly robbed, and there were still hundreds of people blocking at the door.
The incident happened suddenly. In order to avoid causing trouble, Liu Chang had to urgently coordinate and temporarily changed the location to the main venue of Juying Hall of Friendship Palace, which allowed him to control the situation.
"Can you not do such a sudden attack in the future? What if something happens?" Liu Chang finally suppressed the matter and naturally had to cause trouble for Chen Qiaoshan.
Chen Qiaoshan said: "It's no wonder that I have any questions. I'm going to go to those coders. I'm crazy about money and I want to make money without anything. Do I really think I'm doing charity?"
"You can't restrain yourself and hide the ugly face of your capitalist as soon as possible." Liu Chang complained, and then said to Tuo Xiaoxue: "Did you see it? This is the true face of your boss, you have to see it clearly."
Tuo Xiaoxue's heart beat, and she hurriedly said, "Sister Chang, isn't you your boss too?"
Liu Chang smiled when he heard this, but didn't say anything, but sighed in his heart.
She was already very thoughtful, and after several years of graduation, she naturally understood the human relationships and worldly styles. She couldn't tell how she was. Tuo Xiaoxue's reaction was too sensitive and obviously didn't grasp the key points.
It was originally just an ordinary joke, but Tuo Xiaoxue was eager to clear it up, which was a big deal. Even though she had no other thoughts, her subconscious reaction could not deceive people.
Liu Chang looked at Tuo Xiaoxue without any trace. He wanted to be stature and look good, and he was not weak compared to Yan Xiaoqin, and he was considered to be good at winning the game.
Liu Chang shook her head unconsciously. She knew that some things were hard to tell the difference between right and wrong. If you blame them, you can only blame Chen Qiaoshan for being too outstanding. Even if she was five or six years younger, it would be difficult to resist. Compared with her peers, this person is really outstanding.
...
Chen Qiaoshan was the guest of honor at the afternoon exchange meeting and was not allowed to be present. Zhou Zhengning was also present at the meeting, which provided an opportunity for entrepreneurs to communicate directly with venture capital.
When Chen Qiaoshan arrived at the venue, he realized that things might have had some deviations. Not only were coders, but also many reporters holding long guns and short cannons.
Chen Qiaoshan asked: "What's the situation? Apart from the opening ceremony, I remember that there were no reporters arranged in other exchange meetings, right?"
Liu Chang was also puzzled, "No, there were no such people in Lao Wang's incident in the morning."
"Forget it, it's the last one, come on, come on, you don't spend any money."
That being said, Chen Qiaoshan's heart was always hanging. He felt that these people should be bad at the visitor.
He has taken the time to read the 17tech report, and can only be said to be a smear. Chen Qiaoshan doesn't need to think about it, but the result is nothing more than two types. One is to use money to do things for others, and the other is to extort.
There were still twenty minutes left when the venue left, and several people went directly to the VIP lounge.
Zhou Zhengning had arrived, and Chen Qiaoshan said embarrassedly: "Mr. Zhou, I'm really neglected and I actually asked you to wait here."
Zhou Zhengning smiled and said, "It's okay, I just arrived."
Liu Chang laughed and tried to smooth things over, "Mr. Zhou, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your Mandarin level has been much higher."
"Is that true?" Zhou Zhengning's smile even better. Even Chinese people have put in a lot of effort to change their accent and want to enter the domestic market. This is one of the basic skills.
Chen Qiaoshan said: "Yes, I think you might as well take the Mandarin level certificate and you can also go and make a phone quotation later."
After chatting for a while, a woman knocked on the door and entered the room, reminding her: "The time is almost over, so you can prepare to enter."
Chen Qiaoshan said: "Then let's go in."
Zhou Zhengning stood up and followed Chen Qiaoshan into the front desk. He suddenly said, "Mr. Chen, please see when will it be convenient? Let's talk about cooperation?"
Chen Qiaoshan has made many arrangements recently, and after thinking about it, he said, "I've been busy in recent days, so why not like this? It's your time after the 15th."
He really couldn't get out of his body and hadn't returned home yet. Not only did he have three sisters, but he even had his mother Chen's objections, but he had to interview teams from more than a dozen projects one by one. He would definitely not be able to leave for a while.
"No problem, then I'll turn around and ask the secretary to confirm the itinerary with you."
When he arrived on the stage, Chen Qiaoshan glanced at him and said that compared with the opening ceremony, the number of people was one-third less. I think those who knew they had no hope of getting financing had already left.
The previous meeting was very simple. Chen Qiaoshan and Zhou Zhengning first introduced Qingshan Capital and Jifu Asia, and then praised each other, even if they were perfunctory.
"There is a questioning session. We will hand over the choice to Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhou. Please keep order." The female host explained a few words, and then left the stage.
Chen Qiaoshan knew that the highlight was coming, and he was also brewing emotions with the microphone.
"The fifth row, the one wearing a black T-shirt, yes, it's you."
After hanging out with coders all day, Chen Qiaoshan could naturally tell who was the reporter and who was the programmer. Most of these reporters might have been hitting the scene. He didn't want to be with them and chose coders.
The first person to be picked was a thin man. He took the microphone handed over by the staff. He raised an A4 paper and asked: "I want to ask Mr. Chen, is this financing agreement real?"
As expected, the first question was thrown to Chen Qiaoshan.
That agreement can be said to be the most sincere financing plan ever and is also the focus of everyone's attention. As soon as the question came out, the audience was so quiet that it was heard, and they were all waiting for the answer.
Chen Qiaoshan was prepared for a long time. He cleared his throat and then turned on the microphone switch and said, "I know, you will definitely ask this question, so I will give a unified answer here. This financing agreement is true."
The atmosphere in the market changed suddenly. This is undoubtedly a great news. There are many people with entrepreneurial ideas, and there are many people waiting for the rice to be put into the pot. Qingshan Capital undoubtedly provides a rare financing opportunity.
There was a lot of discussion in the audience. Even though Chen Qiaoshan confirmed, many people were still suspicious.
Everyone understands the principle that no pie will fall from the sky. Venture capital is also for profit. It is hard to convince people if they are too relaxed.
Chen Qiaoshan knocked on the microphone. When the discussion calmed down, he said, "Since we've said that, I might as well say a few more words to everyone."
"I can tell you clearly that the financing agreement between Qingshan Capital and Douban and Kuxun.com has been signed, and this agreement template is used."
"I am not convenient for me to present a real contract due to confidentiality terms, but I can guarantee that everything I say is true."
A man in the first row suddenly stood up and shouted: "No, isn't it a donkey-tracking website? Where did Douban appear again?"
When they heard this, everyone in the audience couldn't sit still and questioned them one after another.
Chen Qiaoshan was not in a hurry to stop it. After the lower part calmed down, he spoke: "This question is actually very simple. Yang Bo felt that calling a donkey was not nice, so he changed it to Douban."
There was a burst of laughter below, and this reason must make sense. As soon as the news was announced yesterday, many people had such arguments. Now that they are better, they have changed their names directly.
Chen Qiaoshan continued: "Of course, I don't think the name Douban is much better."
There was another burst of laughter below, and a little joke made the atmosphere in the venue much more lively.
"By the way, let me tell you that Douban's website architecture has been tested. Yang Bo promised me that it will be online within one month as soon as possible. At that time, I will ask the old Dong, the left-behind, to send a notice on the forum. You might as well go and take a look. If you are interested, everyone will also help you with a promotion. After all, it is the first product of this webmaster meeting. They are all peers, and they can help you with it if you can."
"Okay, as long as Douban is online, our Muzi.com will definitely help promote it."
“We do it too.”
"Count me one."
...
There was another riot in the audience, and Chen Qiaoshan didn't stop it, but Zhou Zhengning saw some of the reputation.
All of the people here are webmasters of various personal websites. Even if only 10% of them help to promote, the audience of promotion may be hundreds of thousands. The real situation may be more than this. In a few simple words, it will be an excellent advertisement for Douban, saving a lot of promotion costs, and the effect will definitely not be bad. There is no one else who is thinking about it.
"Mr. Chen, how did Qingshan Capital review the application project? Do they have specific quantitative indicators?"
The second person asked the question was Chen Qiaoshan, and he had no choice but to continue saying: "The review is actually very simple. It is a feasibility analysis of the project book by senior Internet people to judge the value of the project."
"As for the quantitative standards you mentioned, there are many. Here I will only say the most important point, which is innovation. Only innovation can lead to development."
"Then what is innovation? Can't we get financing if we don't have any projects that are not innovative?"
Chen Qiaoshan said: "This is the second question. For the sake of fairness, let's give the opportunity to the next questioner."
The second questioner did not insist, but what was speechless was that the third person turned around and still asked the question just now, which made the scene burst into laughter.
Chen Qiaoshan was speechless, but he was not afraid of this.
"What is innovation? It means doing what others have never done before, even if it is just starting from a small way and improving the user experience step by step. This is also an innovation, micro-innovation."
Various problems followed one after another, all of whom were running towards Chen Qiaoshan, making him tired of dealing with it. Zhou Zhengning was also happy to be idle, watching Chen Qiaoshan citing classics and fighting against the scholars.
"Competitioners are like whetstones. We first sharpen ourselves, then we will lose our luck and cut off our competitors..."
"Entrepreneurship is to do things that others have never done before. We must have the courage to challenge things that others have done but have not done successfully..."
...
As the exchanges increased, Chen Qiaoshan suddenly said a few golden sentences, and laughter or cheers sounded from time to time in the venue, and the atmosphere became increasingly high.
Chen Qiaoshan spoke with a dry mouth. Taking advantage of the gap between asking questions, he hurriedly said: "I apply for a break, drink a sip of water, and if I continue talking, I will probably not be able to speak tomorrow."
There was another kind laughter below. After a moment of pause, Chen Qiaoshan said again: "Don't stare at me. Mr. Zhou is the real God of Wealth. The entrepreneurial funds under Jifu Asia are all nine-digit, or US dollars."
Zhou Zhengning was also amused and crying. The reason why he came here today was to stand up for Chen Qiaoshan so as to lay the foundation for the next cooperation.
As for financing, it is basically impossible. Unless it reaches a cooperation with Qingshan Capital, it will not intervene in Internet investment, and that is not a field that is good at.
Seeing that Chen Qiaoshan really took a bottle of water handed over by the staff, Zhou Zhengning had to turn on the microphone and said, "Then I will do it. If there is anything wrong with it, please ask Mr. Chen to add it."
There was another burst of laughter in the audience, which was quite joyful.
"The one on the left in the fourth row."
Due to habit, Zhou Zhengning ordered a man in a relatively formal dress.
There are hundreds of people here, most of whom have casual T-shirts. It is rare to wear formal shirts, and he picked one of them at a glance.
Chen Qiaoshan's eyes were fixed. It was a coincidence that Zhou Zhengning was the first to click on a famous reporter. Although he had not seen the camera, it was rare for many people to hold paper and pen in his hands.
Sure enough, as soon as he got the microphone, the man asked, "I want to confirm with Mr. Chen that Qingshan Capital is said to be Hong Kong capital. Have you received the approval document?"
Chen Qiaoshan's heart sank, he was really afraid of anything he wanted.
In the current Company Law, there is no clear concept of equity. In the past, the joint-stock system, public-private joint ventures, have developed to the present, and have been replaced by "equity" with "capital contribution", which shows the lag in the financial environment.
Correspondingly, the control of foreign investment is also quite strict.
Chen Qiaoshan couldn't afford two million US dollars at all, so he naturally couldn't apply to the Bureau of Foreign Affairs. There were definitely no procedures.
Liu Chang was on the sidelines. She was one of the few people who knew the truth. She knew she was going to be affected. She quickly picked up a microphone and reminded: "This questioner, please don't waste opportunities. This time Mr. Zhou answered."
Seeing that the reporter was about to speak again, Chen Qiaoshan opened the microphone first, "I can answer this question, which has taken advantage of Mr. Zhou again."
It was easy to say, but Chen Qiaoshan knew that these pens were not easy to deal with, and it seemed that conflicts with the media could not be avoided.
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, not to mention that they now represent the capital side and have obvious advantages.
