Dressed As a Cannon Fodder Substitute For a Beautiful President

Compared with the real entrepreneurial process, BP project work is simply too easy. In order to make the project more reasonable and easier to implement, some ideal data can often be "artificially selected" to make the market prospects on paper optimistic.

But the reality is often very hard. Qi Zheng and Li Yunshan used their spare time to go to their pre-selected high schools to check in, and they also went to several regular shopping spots that parents love to accompany them to increase the source of customers. But when it comes to their upcoming business, many people take a wait-and-see attitude and even stay away from them immediately for fear of being cheated.

Li Yunshan didn't feel embarrassed, after all, she wasn't a rookie who just graduated. I have never been rejected by customers, and I am embarrassed to say that I have passed the market.

"Qizheng, do you think we are looking for the wrong point of entry? Why do these parents seem not interested at all."

Qi Zheng took a mouthful of hot soup, and the tip of his tongue was slightly numb.

"I think they are actually interested, but they are more cautious, so I will not express their position for the time being."

"That's right, if you're not interested at all, you won't even want to listen to it." Li Yunshan recalled her recent contact with parents, and some parents asked a lot of questions.

"They're just prolonging the buying decision process, but I feel hopeful."

Qi Zheng did not speak in an impassioned manner, not even the slightest high-pitched tone of voice. But she spoke so quietly, which made Li Yunshan feel at ease.

"The BP homework is almost done, and then we just have to wait for the official graduation next month. If we haven't got the money by then, are you going to go to Neil?"

After three rounds of interviews, Neil Consulting made an offer to Qi Zheng. Although it is not a management-level position, it is a rare opportunity for Chinese students who have just graduated.

"This is the last option and we have a month left."

In addition to the Lemon Fund and the School Creation Competition, Qi Zheng has not given up on continuing to look for opportunities to gain support. She finally understands what it means to race against time in order to seize business opportunities. Even if the so-called business opportunity has not even a shadow, it will become a whip that inspires you to keep working hard.

As graduation time is getting closer, more and more parents are interested in their business. Li Yunshan pulled these potential customers into different WeChat groups and divided them into groups according to the possibility of conversion.

"Qizheng, we have to start as soon as possible, otherwise we will not be able to satisfy the first batch of customers."

There are indeed a few parents who are willing to try new things but are not very price-sensitive who are willing to try the one-month "accompanying integration service". But in the United States, everything asks for money, and no matter how good your relationship is, you still have to make a clear calculation when it comes time to settle accounts.

Without money, it is impossible to move, not to mention some expenses have to be paid in advance.

The Lemon Fund finally sent an email, informing Qi Zheng that his project had been approved and that he could get 500,000 US dollars of entrepreneurial support, but some terms needed to be added. The school founding jury also came up with the results, and it was almost as expected. The third prize was $80,000.

Li Yunshan was still angry: "I have to tell myself a hundred times now, don't be angry."

Qi Zheng took two notices, but was not very happy.

"Which one are you going to choose?"

Between 500,000 and 80,000, most people will choose the Lemon Fund without hesitation. After all, in the early stage of a business, no one can predict the subsequent development. A little more start-up capital can ensure that the project will live longer.

If you live, there is hope for a turnaround.

"I think the Lemon Fund needs more management power."

Generally speaking, most of the angel round seed funds are because they are optimistic about the potential of the project or the ability of entrepreneurs, and are not anxious to obtain returns in the short term. And in this round of investment, few companies will emphasize management rights.

"It's a bit strange. At present, this company is just us. Is Lemon trying to share half of the management rights for us?"

Seeing that Qi Zheng was so cautious, Li Yunshan did not urge her to make a decision quickly.

Of course, Shen Zhibing also received the news that Yun Fei was waiting for her instructions.

"Mr. Shen, if we don't make a move, Xiao Qi will likely sign with the Lemon Fund. It will be more troublesome when there are more contract constraints."

However, Shen Zhibing was not in a hurry to let Yun Fei act. To be precise, she didn't seem to be worried this time, and she didn't worry about any of Qi Zheng's decisions at all.

"Wait a second, I want to see Qi Zheng's choice."

"Most people have a hard time resisting the comparison between $500,000 and $80,000, especially in the early stages of a startup."

In the early days of starting a business, money was more important than anything else.

"Most people are like that, but I want to see how different she is."

Shen Zhibing was not 100% sure, but she felt that Qi Zheng would not disappoint her. She also wants to take this opportunity to see if Qi Zheng has improved in business sense and judgment after completing her MBA.

Yun Fei understood President Shen's intention, but after all, she was still worried about Qi Zheng.

"Xiao Qi's first business, and Lin Muyun deliberately played this trick again, I'm afraid that she will be passive if she starts too late."

"Lin Muyun just wants to get the management right of the project through the seed round. When the company needs to continue to invest funds for the official operation, she will ask for a second round of financing. If Qi Zheng can't do it, she will recover the investment and drain it directly."

Shen Zhibing's face was cold, and he had already seen through Lin Muyun's tricks.

"This is too cruel for a young man who is just starting out." Yun Fei also knew that this kind of damage in the market happened every year, but it was still distressing when it fell on Qi Zheng.

"I won't let Qi Zheng suffer this loss, but I believe she has the ability to judge."

It's not that Yun Fei has no confidence in Qizheng, but the situation is special: "Now that she is about to graduate, she lacks start-up funds, and the money on both sides is waiting for her to reply as soon as possible. I am afraid that she will make hasty decisions under pressure and make mistakes easily."

Shen Zhibing remained calm: "If she really chooses the wrong one, you will directly eat the lemon fund for me."

Yun Fei was startled, then smiled and said, "I understand."

Knowing that President Shen had already prepared a sure-fire plan, Yun Fei was not as anxious as before. Although she felt regretful to learn that Qi Zheng intended to leave the Shen family, she also hoped that she would develop better.

Qi Zheng is under great pressure every day, forcing her to make a decision as soon as possible. In the eyes of many people, the answer that was so easy to choose, but Qi Zheng became hesitant.

She leaned on the sofa and closed her eyes. There were a few cups of coffee on the table, and she was busy for another afternoon. The Lemon Fund changed from its dullness before, and came to ask every once in a while. It seemed that she would give the money to other projects if she didn't decide.

Qi Zheng suddenly remembered what Shen Zhibing said to her a long time ago, telling her to learn to use resources. Now she not only lacks money, but also lacks some experience in shopping malls.

Experience, the first thing Qi Zheng thought of was Boss Zhuang.

Through Zhuang Muqing's arrangement, Qi Zheng met Boss Zhuang who was recuperating in New York.

"Last time I heard Mr. Shen say that you are studying in University B, but I didn't expect you to graduate in a blink of an eye. Time flies very fast."

Boss Zhuang, who has stopped worrying about business, looks better than before, but still has a sick face, which is not the same as normal people.

"Thank you Boss Zhuang and Moon for taking care of you during this period of time. I have never had the opportunity to thank you in person."

"At the beginning, I thought you had potential, and it's a shame that you, Mr. Shen, didn't bury you. I just didn't expect to start a business so soon after reading, not bad."

After listening to Qi Zheng's intention and asking for advice, Boss Zhuang did not make a decision for her.

"Shopping malls are always changing, and the characteristics of each market and even each period are different. My experience is nothing more than some troubles in the past. It can't help your future, and it can only let you avoid the known pits."

Qi Zheng didn't expect that Boss Zhuang didn't take the air, and she benefited a lot.

"How to choose is up to you. But you must always remember that what you must not lose, you must always hold firmly."

Qi Zheng seemed to understand somewhat, but did not make a decision immediately.

That night, Qi Zheng thought about it and called Shen Zhibing again.

Knowing these strong people in the business world, she has the opportunity to gain valuable experience and unique insights that cannot be measured in money.

People who can achieve these achievements have their own abilities and views that are different from ordinary people.

Shen Zhibing obviously didn't expect Qi Zheng to take the initiative to look for her, and there were obvious ups and downs in her voice that were different from before: "I'm glad you took the initiative to ask my opinion."

"I also asked Boss Zhuang's opinion, and he asked me to stick to my original intention."

After listening to Qi Zheng's description and the most difficult decision point, Shen Zhibing, like Boss Zhuang, did not give a clear answer.

"This career is your own, and all major decisions should be made by you. The opinions of others are only for reference, and I agree with Boss Zhuang. You have to choose the plan that is conducive to maintaining yourself."

Shen Zhibing could actually tell her clearly about the Lemon Fund and Lin Muyun's conspiracy, but she held back.

She knew that Qi Zheng wanted to get rid of Shen Shi and her help, and she didn't want to add restraints to her wings when she took off.

"Although my company hasn't been filmed yet, I don't want to lose control." Before ending the call, Qi Zheng chuckled a few times.

It seems that a decision has been made.

When she first heard about Qi Zheng's business plan at the top of the mountain, she wanted to remind her to reconsider the target customer group. Unexpectedly, Qi Zheng realized and corrected it so quickly, which gave her more confidence in Qi Zheng's ability.

Lin Muyun didn't go anywhere tonight, waiting for a call from the United States. Today is the deadline for the Lemon Fund to give Qi Zheng a reply. She has found someone to check it. At present, it is clear that it can provide Qi Zheng with start-up funds. Except for Lemon, there is only the $80,000 of B University.

80,000 and 500,000 are worlds apart for startups.

She had a bottle of wine in her hand and was already waiting for Qi Zheng to take the bait.

After the appointed time, Lin Muyun still didn't receive a call from the United States, so Lin Muyun picked up the phone and looked at it several times.

Finally, Amy's call came, but it wasn't the congratulations she expected.

"What did you say? Qi Zheng refused?"

Amy also just received Brown's notification, and the whole person was stunned. After confirming again, he called Lin Muyun.

After listening to the explanation, Lin Muyun's face was completely dark: "This Brown is too useless, I spent so much thought and time on the layout, but I still let Qi Zheng run away. If the amount is not attractive enough, you can ask me to add more. !"

Amy was also helpless on the other end of the phone: "It's not about money, the problem is that Qi Zheng doesn't play cards according to common sense. It's not that she doesn't have enough money, otherwise she wouldn't accept the 80,000 yuan from B University."

This made Lin Muyun even more angry. If she didn't want 500,000 yuan, she was beaten by a mere 80,000 yuan. It was even more difficult to swallow.

"Then let her taste the pain of not having money!"
