My Age of Investment

In the cat hall of the China Club Club, there is a traditional Chinese ink painting hanging. The content of the painting is very simple, just a white cat and a black cat.

Many years ago, when Xiaoping was eating here, he talked about whether the surname was "Zi" or "She".

The famous saying "a black cat and a white cat is a good cat if it catches mice" also came from here.

Therefore, when the state-run Chuanshu Hotel became a China Club controlled by Hong Kong capital, the "Cat Hall" and "Black Cat White Cat Painting" were preserved.

The purpose is very simple, it is used to improve the status of the club, gain the reputation of the leaders, and attract businessmen and celebrities to come to hold card parties.

"Vision Capital responded very quickly. Our side has just reached a cooperation and launched an advertisement. The five websites they invested in also followed suit."

The speaker was Zhu Linan, the president and managing director of Legend Capital. He was about forty years old, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and had a calm demeanor.

"For so many of us to join together to deal with it, Xia Jingxing is naturally not a fool."

Xue Chunhe from Softbank China adjusted his glasses on the tip of his nose and spoke slowly, appearing extremely calm.

"So what if you react quickly?"

Zhang Fan smiled, and said with a relaxed face: "We have more than a dozen institutions together, and each of us can drown them with a mouthful of saliva."

"Drowning is another story, let's talk about the immediate matter first!"

The only female present, Xu Xin, glanced at the male investors present. The reason why she joined this alliance was mainly for profit, and to retaliate against Xia Jingxing was just incidental.

In her opinion, the men in front of her seemed a little overconfident! So the tone is not so polite.

"Xiaoxin, don't worry! We are discussing countermeasures!"

Xue Manzi turned his head and smiled at Xu Xin, who was sitting beside him, with a friendly attitude.

The two families are family friends, and their parents are all from Yuzhou.

Xue Manzi's father served as the deputy prefect of the capital, and Xu Xin's father was the top leader of Sinotruk.

Xiong Xiaoge, who was elected as the "Leader", said with a serious expression: "We can't underestimate the enemy.

Although Vision Capital does not have a deep foundation in China, its asset scale is extremely large.

In particular, the companies they invest in are basically industry leaders, and we are the ones catching up.

If we underestimate the enemy, we will be the ones who will suffer. "

Zhang Fan frowned, he felt that Xiong Xiaoge's words aroused the ambition of others and destroyed his prestige.

"but……"

Xiong Xiaoge changed the subject and looked around at the dozen or so investors present, "Strategic attention is one thing, but tactical defiance is another.

What Zhang Fan just said was right. With so many of us, are we afraid that we will not be able to defeat Vision Capital?

However, in the whole process, we must work together and not have too many personal thoughts.

If everyone plays their own little calculations, then Vision Capital will not need to do anything, we will collapse first. "

Tong Shijie nodded with a smile on his face, looking like a hardcore boy, only Xiong Xiaoge followed suit.

Xiong Xiaoge nodded to Tong Shijie, very satisfied with the latter's performance.

Then he looked at Chen Liwu, the chairman of Walden International, and Lin Xinhe, the co-founder of DCM China, and said, "Both of you, I'll leave the matter of Dangdang to you."

"It should be!"

Chen Liwu smiled, "It's just right to have fewer participants, and the investment share belongs to us, wouldn't it be more?"

Lin Xinhe hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his concerns.

"If we really squeeze out Envision Capital without saving any face, then it may really tear our face apart, the kind that will never die in the future.

At present, it is still a healthy competition, and there is still a bottom line between each other. "

Zhang Fan said coldly at the side: "I know you are taking into account your status as a member of the Huayuan Science and Technology Association and your status as a Stanford alumni.

It’s all here, why stick to those?

Speaking of which, I also graduated from Stanford, and I am also a senior brother Xia Jingxing, but does he take me seriously as a senior brother?

We were originally in the same circle, but that kid was unruly and wanted to overturn the table, otherwise we are so full of food, we have to join forces to deal with him? "

Lin Xinhe was at a loss for words, but actually he admired Xia Jingxing very much.

Because he founded Huayuan Information on the Stanford campus to serve the Chinese in North America. At that time, he was only in his early twenties. Like Xia Jingxing, he was a student starting a business on campus, and he resonated emotionally.

In 1998, Huayuan Information and Stone Lifang merged to form Sina.com, and he served as the chief operating officer of Sina. Now he joined DCM as an investor.

He was born in Wanwan, and immigrated to the United States with his parents when he was a child, which is very similar to Yang Zhiyuan's situation. At the same time, he was also inspired by Yang Zhiyuan's entrepreneurial success, so he started his business at Stanford.

He has good personal relationships with Stanford alumni such as Yang Zhiyuan and Deng Feng, and has met Xia Jingxing once or twice, and he knows that Xia Jingxing is a ruthless character.

If you are really reckless and lose your match, you may not be able to win anything.

Xiong Xiaoge looked at Lin Xinhe, who didn't see rabbits and didn't let go of eagles, and said, "How about this, transfer more of the next round of investment shares of 58.com, Youku and other companies to DCM."

"Okay, that's no problem, just listen to Mr. Xiong."

Lin Xinhe's eyes lit up, and his attitude took a 360-degree turn in an instant.

In the face of benefits, the weak friendship with Xia Jingxing, or the cost of offending Xia Jingxing, seemed a bit insignificant.

After all, no one can escape the law of true fragrance.

Xiong Xiaoge's allocation made the faces of several other investors not so good.

After all, the cake is only that big, if one more piece is assigned to DCM, then they will lose one piece.

Noticing the ugly faces of other investors, Xiong Xiaoge secretly complained, the position of the leader is not easy.

He also sat up, only to realize how hot his ass is.

The composition of the team is too complex, everyone is an investment overlord, and he is only the leader in name, and cannot really command these people.

He suddenly thought of the fact that the eighteen princes wanted Dong Zhuo, and the team under Yuan Shao also had their own minds, did not want to make progress, and even had internal strife...

Xiong Xiaoge no longer dared to think about it anymore, thought about it, and said: "Well, any good projects under your banner can be put into the alliance. You invested in the A round, and the alliance will vote for the B round... ..."

"As I said just now, once you lose your mind, the outcome will definitely not be much better."

Xiong Xiaoge glanced at everyone, "Everyone should take a long-term view and don't just focus on the existing cakes.

The biggest cake is at Envision Capital, and if you want to cut a bigger piece, you have to grab it from them.

The next few companies will increase marketing efforts and advertising, and the funds will be consumed very quickly. At the same time, the market share will definitely increase sharply.

Everyone has ample investment opportunities, and there is no need to compete. "

As a supporter of Xiong Xiaoge, Zhang Fan also cheered: "I heard that Xia Jingxing invested in a hot pot restaurant. It just so happens that we and SIG Haina Asia also invested in a Little Swan hot pot. We can put the target of Little Swan in In the alliance, everyone’s investment is always welcome.”

"Vision Capital invested in a rural-based Chinese fast food restaurant. Today Capital has invested in real kung fu, and we can also contribute it for everyone to choose and invest in."

...

The attending investors spoke very enthusiastically, and everyone was promoting their own projects.

Seeing this scene, Xiong Xiaoge finally smiled.

This is actually a good way to consolidate the alliance. Vote by yourself, and then throw the next round to other organizations to support each other. In addition to strengthening the relationship with each other, it can also bundle interests, making the alliance closer, and at the same time, everyone shares risks. , very much in line with the style of the venture capital industry.

As for Vision Capital’s practice of entrusting the entire company with one family, from angel rounds to IPOs, it’s outrageously wrong.

Once a mistake occurs, it may trigger a crisis of confidence among investors.

When the investor withdraws the funds, Vision Capital will completely collapse, liquidate and exit, and the game is over.

This is the best way he can think of, and it can also mend the not-so-secure alliance.

Right now, this alliance cannot be collapsed, and it will have to wait until Vision Capital is defeated.

Zhang Fan gave Xiong Xiaoge a thumbs-up, thinking that the method the boss came up with was tricky enough to help isolate Vision Capital.

Everyone in the field nodded, all of them looked happy, and were very satisfied with the result of the negotiation.

Only Tong Shijie was so anxious that he had to pass the news to the organization as soon as possible, the enemy was coming to sweep up.
