When Wang Xing and his partners finally failed to withstand Chen Zhou's increasing prices, they had a dinner and got drunk.
At that time, he also wanted to call Wei Tao. When several partners pooled their money to build something, they never wanted financing and only wanted a very small transfer ratio. A helping hand was given when it was not enough.
Faced with the option of giving Wei Tao a share, and faced with the fact that external capital did not recognize their operation and promotion model, they never understood where they went wrong, and faced increasing investment pressure. , they finally had this only option left.
After all, when young people start a business and are abandoned by capital, the gossip of others can continue to erode their confidence in their projects.
"This is no longer possible. You can't do it anymore. Did you see that all foreign capital has invested in so-and-so?"
"Stop being stubborn and persisting. The competition is so fierce now, but you are still standing on your own laurels. Now you have been eliminated by the market."
Many people said that, and the real feedback from the market was the same. Seeing that Xiaonei.com had no development prospects, Wang Xing wanted to move on. He knew that if he called Wei Tao, the other party would definitely get money, but the current Xiaonei.com did not There are not many people who are qualified to sell it anymore, and some small shareholders have even said very hurtful words: "Don't let Mr. Wei continue to jump into the pit."
Regardless of selling it, everyone can get some money. For young entrepreneurs, apart from hard work and time, this is not a failed business. At least the price given by Chen Zhou is high enough to satisfy their needs. Uncomfortable and reluctant.
Regarding many trivial matters, Guan Jinyue and others collected a large amount of information. When Wei Tao printed it out from the mailbox, there were more than 20 pages of A4 paper, which contained detailed processes, their failure to negotiate with capital, and their The failure of predictions about the future, the conflicts between them...
Wei Tao had seen it, but he had never really bothered to study it. He positioned himself very accurately - I am a bastard from an investment bank.
Just hang out, take advantage of the rebirth, just follow the car. As for sitting on the same table with those future bosses to point out the country, he has already experienced the feeling of a roller coaster during the 'Duo Play', 'Duo Play' The game was advancing quickly, which was in a good direction. This made him breathe a sigh of relief at the time, but he didn't want to play with history he didn't understand in the future.
Want to help Wang Xing get on the right path in advance? Stop making trouble. Even if it works, I don't plan to do it. Otherwise, what will happen to a certain group in the future? If he insists on doing this, won't he lose a certain group? That would be much more valuable than the current campus network, which is just an appetizer now.
"If you need money, you can do it anytime, anywhere." Wei Tao did not forget to manage his own personality in Wang Xing's heart, and encouraged him: "I am optimistic about the school network. It has a future. We just lack time. Give it Some time, it will work out."
When he said this, Wei Tao was beating a drum in his heart. Don't listen to my deception. Trust yourself and the partners around you. Just abandon it. If you don't understand, just settle down for a few more years. The future is yours, just remember to owe me a favor, just remember that I am the best investor. When you play with a certain group, even if it is a battle of thousands of groups, please rest assured that I am here to protect your investment. The rear area is stable. If you are willing to provide more, I will be happy to take over.
Things developed on the bright side. Guan Jinyue and her senior sister Nan Li also completed Wei Tao's task very successfully. However, the latter was very regretful and felt that Mr. Wei's investment failed this time. As everyone knows, when Guan Jinyue After contacting Chen Zhou and signing the contract, Wei Tao was overjoyed when he received the call.
Because the 30% of the shares he held were not within the scope of this acquisition, even though Chen Zhou raised the price more than once, Wei Tao still refused to let go.
"It will work out."
"I'm optimistic about it."
"It will change the future of the Internet."
He chanted slogans. Every time he shouted the slogan, the future eldest student Wang Xing, who had not yet grown up, would feel more regretful and consider Wei Tao a confidant. He even came up with it to a certain extent. The idea of letting the other person down.
No matter how much Chen Zhou raised the price, he would not sell. For a while, Chen Zhou was about to give up. It was Wang Xing's partners who persuaded Guan Jinyue, hoping that Mr. Wei could let go at this time. Mr. Chen's offer was enough. Let Mr. Wei's investment suffer losses.
After looking at the situation, Wei Tao stopped as soon as he saw fit, and stopped shouting slogans so absolutely. After all, he was the future Internet boss. Even if he couldn't understand it now, he had passed the performance. In the future, people would think of it...
"In the future, when he matures, what if he remembers it? I guess I have finished investing in a certain group by then, and will they kick me out? As long as it is listed, that's it, I will withdraw myself, and just look at the market value of the shares. There’s no point in increasing the price, it’s almost cashed out, and I will be financially free by then, and it’s no use even thinking about it.”
………………
Chen Zhou came to Songjiang again.
Wei Tao made an appointment with him at Tiantianju, spent the morning running around the construction site, and went to the shooting range in the afternoon to enjoy himself. Boss Chen brought his team this time, and Nan Li and Wang Song were also invited by Guan Jinyue. For the first time, they came to this small northeastern city that they never thought they would interact with.
Local media reported that Mr. Wei of Anshun Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. not only invested in Duowan, but also invested in Xiaonei.com, which now has millions of users.
The main body of the news was that 'Xiao Nei Net' changed hands, and Mr. Wei took his 30% shareholding ratio to the new helmsman, and in just over a month, under the operation of Qian Oaks, the company Xiaonei.com merged with its own system and did not accept Wei Tao's reinvestment, causing his shareholding ratio to drop to 18%.
These are not the key points. The key point is the news that came out at the beginning of 2007.
SoftBank is optimistic about this project and wants to invest in the 'Xiao Nei Network'. There is currently no valuation ratio, but internal sources revealed that SoftBank has prepared over 100 million US dollars for this investment.
The news has not yet been confirmed, but it has become the most explosive news in this small town of Songjiang. Everyone is talking about this magical Mr. Wei, and Wei Tao has officially become the owner of this three-acre land after "Wan Duo". Super famous.
You build a house, you are a big boss, and you have hundreds of millions of property in Songjiang. Everyone knows these step by step. Even if they are curious about your legendary experience, if there are traces to follow, they will sigh that you are awesome. It took years of hard work to build this family business.
But suddenly we are related to a huge industry such as the Internet. Our businessmen here are doing venture capital and betting on Duowan, which is something that no young person currently knows about. You don’t know about Tiduowan, you know about Waiwai Voice, those For those who cut the legend, the commanding shouts in Internet cafes can lift the roof. Those who play World of Warcraft, in large and small groups, have such a platform to provide them with voice call support.
The support of young people is the foundation that makes Waiwai Voice soar. The team around Li Xueliang left and wanted to copy and paste. As soon as they left, Rebus took the people and had a chat with Li Xueliang, and then Updates are started, and updated content that is more in line with the user experience makes user stickiness very high. After the waves at the end of the year and the beginning of the year failed to shake Duowan, its value has become even higher.
Just when everyone was lamenting Mr. Wei's good luck, the incident about the 'school network' broke out again. One could be called lucky, but what about the other two?
The only thing Wei Tao is lucky about is that this kind of news is only in the SJ area, and its influence in the provincial capital is not that big. Outside, only the professional field pays attention to it. After all, so many Internet companies are established, financed, famous, and listed. , there are too many points to focus on, here is just a small corner.
Wei Tao didn't want to be too high-profile, so he mobilized connections to find someone in Songjiang to try to eliminate the media from reporting on it. He also found someone to post an analysis that SoftBank's investment was purely fictitious. It's good if you don't lose money in the end.
Although as time goes by and the New Year is approaching, everyone does not have so many thoughts to pay attention to a person who is not related to their own life, and gradually disappears, but the gossip about another investment of Mr. Wei that has earned over 100 million yuan will still be there. After dinner, it became a topic of conversation on some people's tables.
It's just one city and one place. Chen Zhou won't focus on this at all. His current operations and promotions are constantly reflecting the true long-term profit value of the merged 'Xiao Nei Network', and he is indeed negotiating with capital, but this negotiation is far from what he imagined. It's so simple. What Softbank wants is to use the "Xiaonei Network" as the absolute main body to expand and integrate all Thousand Oaks resources. Then they want to invest in Thousand Oaks and lead a new round of investment as a shareholder of Thousand Oaks. Financing.
In this way, the 18% held by Wei Tao in 'Xiao Nei Net' has become a thorn in the middle. Fortunately, the current negotiations are still in the early stages, and SoftBank is also looking at Chen Zhou. To what extent the 'school network' can be promoted, we will decide to conduct in-depth negotiations.
Chen Zhou had to meet with Wei Tao again, this time, not in Songjiang, but in Yanjing.
He wanted to pull out this thorn. When they met for the second time, he saw the other party's leisurely and contented life in Songjiang. Although the city was small, Wei Tao had extraordinary energy there. We can only talk about it and don’t think about anything else. Are you dominating him? Under the control of Mao Mao, his investment company is just a plaque and a few offices with no one working at all.
He is setting up a real entity in his hometown. We have the ability to come here to compete with him. Otherwise, let SoftBank give it a try and invest in the city, or talk to the people above? Implement some pressure from the top down?
Dance Academy.
The dormitory where Cao Xiyu is located is about to have winter vacation, but their entire dormitory has no vacation. They have been selected to participate in the Spring Festival Gala again, but this time it is no longer a group dance, but with Cao Xiyu as the main body, Shirley Guan, Su Qing and Liu Dandan as the assistants dance.
When Cao Xiyu's ability was revealed, she took the leading role in this dance show, and the Songjiang Song and Dance Troupe provided her with dance partners, and her male partner was also a leader currently active on the stage. In order for them to perform well, the school kept them in the dormitory. It was unsafe and inconvenient for several girls, so we rented two standard rooms for them in the hotel.
In the entire program, Cao Xiyu was the main body, and she had nearly thirty seconds of solo dancing time. She had never thought about competition, nor had she experienced many selections. She was even a little reluctant, if the instructor had not recommended her to dance. Once, this opportunity may have passed by.
"Beauty, your Mr. Wei is so awesome. Several university forums are talking about him now, saying that if he is willing to let go of his campus network shares now, both Thousand Oaks and SoftBank are willing to give him 50 million. Really? Fake?" Guan Shirley hugged Cao Xiyu with a sad look on her face, as did Su Qing and Liu Dandan: "I knew Mr. Wei was a rich man, why did we have to be so merciful in the first place?"
Cao Xiyu smiled. It turns out that his man really doesn't brag. A billionaire is nothing.
"It's not too late now. Let him treat you to a big dinner tonight."
"Ah, Mr. Wei, this master who lives in seclusion in the mountains, is really rare to come out. Except for the beauties in the great Yanjing, he doesn't look at them at all. A master is a master. He is strategizing thousands of miles away in his hometown, a small town. With just a few calculations and a casual investment, you can pocket tens of millions..."
"Our Yubaobei's vision has been cultivated since childhood. How can you tell that someone has potential in a junior high school classmate?"
