My Age of Investment

Chapter 760

After driving for a while, the car stopped at the ground parking lot of China Merchants Building at No. 118 Jianguo Road. Xia Jing got off the car and took the elevator to the Beijing office of Envision Capital on the 36th floor.

The electric glass door at the entrance opens and closes from time to time, and there are constantly men and women in suits and leather shoes coming in and out. On the reception sofa on one side, there are a few guys with backpacks and thin hair, who look like programmers.

Compared with the deserted opening last year, the Beijing office is much more lively now, and everything is developing in an orderly manner.

Xia Jingxing stood at the front desk for a while, carefully observing the surroundings.

The past employees are all Chinese, not as blind as foreigners, and they basically recognize this big boss who is so unpredictable.

They didn't dare to come forward to say hello, so they called out "Mr. Xia" from a distance away.

Xia Jingxing didn't know these new employees either, so he smiled and nodded to the surrounding employees.

When he was about to leave, several programmers sitting on the sofa rushed over with excitement.

"Mr. Xia, take a look at my project. You only need to invest 500,000 yuan in me. When NASDAQ rings the bell, I will return you 500 million yuan!"

"Mr. Xia, this is the fourth-generation search engine developed by our company. It is already ahead of Baidu in certain technologies. It has already applied for a patent in the United States..."

"President Xia, just take a look!"

...

A group of programmers rushed to Xia Jingxing, each took out a business plan from their backpacks, and while pushing the people around them vigorously with their bodies, they reached out and handed over the documents.

Looking at the countless hands in front of him, Xia Jingxing couldn't laugh or cry.

Fortunately, Zhang Chenguang and a few employees quickly blocked these crazy entrepreneurs, otherwise the documents would probably slap him in the face right now.

Seeing this, Fu Jixun and Rao Lei who came to welcome Xia Jingxing hurried forward to dissuade him.

"Please don't worry, the investment manager of Vision Capital will carefully review each of your business plans, and will give you a chance to demonstrate and introduce the product.

What do you guys look like stuck here, don’t you even want the most basic quality of an excellent entrepreneur—calmness? "

Fu Jixun's words were like Hong Zhong Dalu, pulling a group of entrepreneurs back from their frenzy to sobriety.

They hurriedly stopped what they were doing, and stood aside embarrassingly.

It's not that they don't know that it's impolite, but Xia Jingxing appeared in front of them, it would be a fool not to seize the opportunity to win once.

The financing stories of star entrepreneurs such as Hainei Huangxin, Tudou Wang Wei, and Autohome Li Xiang have spread throughout the venture capital circle.

They heard that these entrepreneurs obtained the investment alone, and it took almost five or ten minutes for each of them to convince Boss Xia to pay.

They are also ready to follow the example of their predecessors.

In the past half a year, Boss Xia has seldom heard of Boss Xia making a move in person.

Vision Capital, whose departments and personnel are becoming more and more perfect, does not need Xia Jingxing to do it himself.

Talking to the investment manager is naturally not as convenient as talking to the final decision maker.

Moreover, they were all very confident and felt that their entrepreneurial projects would definitely impress Xia Jingxing.

Now being severely criticized by Fu Jixun, many people can't hold back their faces, and are even more afraid of losing their impression points and missing valuable financing opportunities.

Xia Jingxing saw the uneasiness of several entrepreneurs, and smiled, "Please don't mind, investment companies also have their own procedures, if you can pass the project preliminary review and the investment committee's decision, I will personally listen to your project introduction.

Entrepreneurship is not easy. I am also an entrepreneur here. I understand the difficulties and challenges you face very well. I hope you can always maintain this entrepreneurial passion. "

Hearing this, a group of entrepreneurs were moved and their noses were sore.

They have hit the wall too many times, and this is the first time a big boss has comforted them in this way.

Moreover, their "recklessness" was also well-intentioned by the boss as "entrepreneurial passion".

Regardless of whether the investment can be obtained in the end, Boss Xia must be a fan.

Watched by a group of entrepreneurs, Xia Jingxing left with a group of people.

After walking a few steps, Liu Xiaoduo whispered: "President Xia, you are too easy to talk to, this group of people are frizzy, what do they look like?"

Xia Jingxing raised his hand to stop, "Stop talking, you are still young, you don't understand!"

Hearing this, several people around laughed softly.

"Secretary Liu, Mr. Xia is creating a people-friendly design, which is equivalent to helping the company establish a friendly and equal corporate image for entrepreneurs."

It was Dong Aizhi who was speaking. She returned to China from the United States some time ago, and she is currently working as the investment manager of Jingzhe Fund.

It was only then that Xia Jingxing noticed this talented woman poached from Brother Qiu.

Glancing at her, he asked with a smile, "Anna, are you getting used to it when you return to China?"

"Very good, I feel that there are endless projects every day, which is quite fulfilling."

Dong Aizhi smiled. She was very grateful for her choice, rejected Xiaomo, and chose Envision Capital, which is much smaller in scale, volume, and influence.

Being a screw in a big investment bank is far less refreshing than showing your role in a start-up VC fund. What's more, Vision Capital has great room for growth and a very high ceiling.

Fu Jixun said with a smile: "I asked Anna to replace me as the director of Dianping. Zhang Tao told me that Anna helped Dianping plan several very creative promotional activities, which severely destroyed Duoduo Dianping and word-of-mouth. The prestige of the net.

Zhang Tao also discussed with me to see if Anna could join Dianping full-time. "

Hearing the words Koubei.com, Xia Jingxing frowned, "There was news that Ari was going to acquire Koubei.com, is that true?"

Fu Jixun put away his smile, and said with a straight face: "It's true, Ari has officially sent us a letter yesterday to inform us that he intends to acquire this restaurant review and real estate information company at a valuation of 6 million US dollars."

Xia Jingxing pursed his lips and said nothing. This matter itself is not a big deal, and 6 million US dollars is even more so.

But the key is Jack Ma's attitude, which is too disrespectful to the teacher, and he doesn't even have a word of explanation.

Fu Jixun observed his words and guessed that Jack Ma might not have greeted the boss, otherwise the boss would not have reacted in this way.

He didn't make a sound to disturb, and honestly led the way ahead.

Vision Capital has invested in Dianping for several consecutive rounds. At present, all funds hold a total of 43.75% of Dianping.

No matter from which angle you look at it, this company is the target of Envision Capital.

Now Ari has reached out to Vision Capital's private land, and has not communicated with Vision Capital yet.

Fu Jixun speculated that Ma Yun might have had a rift with the company, or the boss, and was no longer as close as before.

The reason may be due to Qihoo, because the company has taken in Jack Ma's sworn enemy, or it may be that Ahri's market share in the e-commerce market continues to expand, and the company's waist is getting harder and harder.

Fu Jixun brought Xia Jingxing and others into the meeting room, and everyone took their seats.

Xia Jingxing had already put the matter of Koubei aside, looked at Dong Aizhi with a smile, and said, "Anna, you need to get more familiar with the food and beverage review market in the future, this is related to the company's follow-up plan."

Dong Aizhi nodded. She knew what the boss was talking about. Before she joined the company, the boss had introduced her to the food delivery market and judged that there was a big opportunity in it.

In addition to serving as a director of Dianping, she also served as a director of Yelp and a consultant and observer of the takeaway business of Lucky Restaurant.

"Let's talk about it. During the time I was away, what good investment opportunities did you find?"

Xia Jingxing looked at Rao Lei, raised his chin, "Lao Rao, you should speak first."
