When Rebus arrived, Zhang Xuhao and others showed great respect for this senior, and Cai Yu and the other three couldn't help but have their thoughts moved. Who doesn't want more investors?
Rebus has seen a lot of idealist states. These three are still very immature. Their thoughts on entrepreneurship are there, and their abilities are also reflected in the chat. However, their mentality towards entrepreneurship is still too simple.
Just wanting to make good games for Chinese players is too naive, at least from an investor's perspective.
Wei Tao showed a strong interest. Rebus and Zhang Xuhao chatted more speculatively. Seeing that the development of Ele.me has reached a bottleneck period and more funds are needed to expand the market, despite Rebus's words, it was nothing. Technical barriers will lead to plagiarism and imitation, and there is no good way to deal with such things.
But when Zhang Xuhao really stood in front of him, they chatted and found that many things were in common. When investing, you cannot think that every project you invest in is a big profit. Some projects that can obviously bring profits will also become Optional target.
In Wei Tao's office, he had a great time chatting with these three people. Although he was not a senior game fan, he was just like ordinary children born in the 1980s. He started from Nintendo and went all the way to computer games, and he had his own way of thinking about games. understanding and preferences.
He doesn't talk about technology or anything with these three people. If they want to talk about feelings and ideals, he will talk about this with them.
The intention to invest is not concealed. What Wei Tao wants now is more shares. He knows that any talent startup company is unlikely to hand over control, and the shares will be given as little as possible, but they have something. The difference is that they are running into obstacles everywhere, and in the early stage, according to their ideas, a large amount of capital investment is required to realize their ideas. In the short term, there is no profit point at all, and the psychological expectations are not that high.
Wei Tao also heard it. If his idea of increasing investment was recognized by them, it would mean that he would recognize the value of their dreams. The change would probably be that in the early stages of starting a business, he would not think about making profits at all. , even later than the profit point generated in memory.
Because they were forced to give up a certain amount of idealism and make an imperfect game when there was insufficient funds, it was their fate.
And with his own appearance, it is very likely that this fate will be broken, otherwise it will not be in line with the current personality.
Wei Tao wanted 51%, and then signed the official documents. He was not willing to accept all the technical aspects of the company. He knew that this was a bit whimsical, and he did not want to become a laborer even in the early stages of starting a business with insufficient strength.
A capable person would never accept such an investment request, he just thinks about it. Eating in the evening is still not the focus. The characteristics of game tech nerds, eating whatever food and drinking wine are a waste of time.
After hitting the wall many times, they couldn’t wait to get the money. Because they had hit the wall before, they had already planned to shrink their ideas and had no investment. The first step was to find a way to get the funds from the Shanghai University Student Entrepreneurship Support Program to establish a company. Then step by step, while improving the technology, find ways to make the value of the technology visible to others, and then get investment step by step.
"I don't have to care about technology, and I don't have to affect your plans for company development, but I think if my people are willing to contribute in personnel, you will be very happy."
"I can continue to provide you with capital to start your own business, including any technical capital you need. You can play with confidence and boldness."
"I can ensure that for a long time, you don't need to talk about financing at all. You just need to feel free to do what you want to do. At least until the first product comes out, you will not be disturbed."
"If you want to poach people, you can find classmates, or you can buy some copyrights and technology from others. It's all up to you. I'm only responsible for providing funds and the help you want." What are the negotiation skills? Wei Tao knows a few things like that, but he never uses them. He has already had his own personality. Everyone knows that he is an angel investor who invests according to chance. He is rich and willful. When he encounters a project that interests him, he will continue to invest. This part of the investigation is very Buddhist.
Over the past few years, this young investor has invested in a large number of young people's entrepreneurial projects in the Internet industry. According to current statistics, most of them have failed, and some are half-dead. He seems to be a failed investor, but in fact he only has one or two projects. For each project, he invested in the seed round of the angel round in the early stages of his business. He invested a small amount of money and produced a large output. In one fell swoop, he made back all the investment funds that were wasted on each project.
If Cai Yu and the others are entrepreneurs with idealistic sentiments, then Wei Tao is an investor recognized by everyone as willing to pay for sentiments and ideals. In some sour words, he is a typical 'philanthropic' investor. As long as you If you can speak well, as long as you can catch his pulse, you can get investment from him, and get investment more than once.
It's easy to make money from him. Everything that needs to be discussed has been discussed. Wei Tao will never procrastinate, which is boring. He already has a character, so just follow his own character, which will save trouble and make it less likely to arouse others' suspicion.
[Mr. Wei is like this. When discussing business with him, it’s best to be straightforward and don’t beat around the bush. 】
"Mr. Wei, at most, 45%." An unexpected surprise came. Wei Tao actually had the same bottom line as Ele.me at 30%, but he ignored one thing, that is, these three people have hit the wall many times and talked nonsense. They have no hair and are too young. When these people say they want to make games, it is easy to give people the impression that they are playing games in the name of entrepreneurship. In recent years, there have been countless people shouting similar slogans.
In how many families do children tell their parents that they want to learn computers, what is the result? It’s nothing more than finding an official excuse to play games.
How many young students who have just entered college hope to buy a computer for their family? The real purpose is to have a tool for watching war movies and playing games.
In recent years, people who start businesses with similar slogans have begun to become a distrusted group. The three Cai Yus are different. They understand technology and have dreams, but the cost of their dreams is too high. Any project that has no results, no profit points, and is very traditional and has no new ideas in a short period of time will not be successful in a big world with the rapid development of the Internet. Can you be welcomed under the circumstances?
Even if there are some discerning people, they will try their best to create a crazy squeezing behavior like "I don't want to invest in you", and finally "reluctantly" take out some money.
Wei Tao's personality, reputation, and commitment all play a role. These three are not stupid. Regarding Wei Tao's promises, they all hope that what Wei Tao promises will be on paper, and they also have confidence in Wei Tao's relatively mature investment team and company. , I am very interested in helping them build the company framework and deal with some non-technical trivial matters.
It can be said that Mr. Wei is the perfect investor and the best partner in their minds. Being young, this is what everyone has in common, there is no need to worry about being mistrusted in this regard in the future.
Facts have proven over the years that he is never a partner that anyone will regret, and he faithfully abides by what he has promised, no matter whether it is on paper or not.
The people from Rebus are here. Regarding the previous transfer of shares in Duowan by Mr. Wei, all the parties involved were present. Rebus himself admitted that Wei Tao had been wronged. It was his generosity and pattern that made it happen. During the critical period of development of Duowan, there was no internal strife.
"It doesn't matter to me. If you don't agree with me, you won't conspire against each other. Besides, I also got the value that I am satisfied with. I am a very talkative person even if you give me more." If someone thinks that this person is very talkative, then the joke would be big.
Rebus smiled and shook his head: "You still suffered a loss. When it goes public, the value will be better." Wei Tao smiled and said nothing, seeming to accept that he suffered a loss. In fact, he wanted to say directly that today's crooked situation Wai Wai is the main body of Duo Wan, the most valuable part. Li Xueliang has indeed put all his energy into it, but the current Wai Wai is too confident.
When the valuation of 'Duowan' was so high that it exceeded its listed market value, Wei Tao was shocked. He was dumbfounded. He read a lot of surrounding information and tried hard to recall the 'rebirth memories' about it in his mind, but none of them were accurate. He used the memory points to prove it, but based on the analysis results brought by the data and Mohu memory, there was no convincing argument. He just gave his own answer.
At one time, he thought that it was his participation that allowed 'Waiwai' to come out early, occupy the market in advance, have better development, and maybe have better prospects after listing.
After some analysis, he saw the lack of such things in real foreign markets. He vaguely remembered that it seemed that before Duowan was launched, Facebook seemed to have lost a certain amount of points in the hearts of users and also hurt the hearts of investors. .
That's why he has that "pattern". Otherwise, if his temper comes, we will all die together. Softbank and Thousand Oaks didn't do anything to me. Li Xueliang, you are nothing.
During this period of time, he didn't pay attention to Duowan at all. After listening to Rebus' chat, he felt that the advantage he had given to Waiwai in advance was not shown at all, and some of his skill trees were even distorted. It feels like Li Xueliang actually wants to create a 'Waiwai' audio and video viewing platform, to be ahead of other platforms with real-time interaction in the live broadcast room.
He didn't want to say a word, and he only had 5% left. Even if it really didn't work out in the end, he could still sell back the investment capital, and the previous $100 million would be a pure profit.
The character has a good image and his character has been recognized. When Wei Tao showed his attitude, the young and energetic Cai Yu and the other three knew that Mr. Wei had such a temper. He was careless in doing things and brittle. They made the decision. Just sign the contract and shake hands to celebrate the successful cooperation.
The lowest line for the three people is the actual control of the company. There was an example of Ele.me before. Mr. Zhang was very successful. The financing was also invested by Mr. Wei, giving him a 30% ratio. Then when it comes to us An entrepreneurial team with nothing is still a money-burning project, so giving 45% is the most sincerity they can show.
Elite college students have their own plans. 4% is to attract elite talents. Cai Yu has 21%, and the two of them have 15%. The three of them can actually control the company with a stable 51% ratio.
Didn't you, Mr. Wei, say that you can not raise funds before the first project comes out? When a project comes out, the entire company will be complete, and when it is refinanced, their shares will be diluted by means of different rights for the same shares and only dividend rights but no voting rights, but they can still have actual control over the company.
In the past, Wei Tao might have directly given up all his voting rights to you in order to reassure his partners. This time, he didn't. He felt that if the company was handed over to Guan Jinyue for management, it would be hers. Opportunity, she can also grow with the company, and the probability of problems with these three people is not high. In the later stage, when the company succeeds and the company becomes larger, she is not afraid of conflicts.
Wei Tao has made limited progress in other things over the years, but the speed of progress in one thing is beyond imagination. human nature.
There is no Iron Triangle that cannot be dismantled. If one day in the future, it is necessary to fall apart and suffer a bloody blow, he will not mind trying every means to dig out the corners of this Iron Triangle.
In fact, he didn't believe that the three of them would always hold the shares without transferring them in exchange for cash to change their lives.
No matter how successful the company is and how much revenue it generates, it is not personal property. Unless it reaches a particularly large scale and revenue, the money from dividends cannot change your life.
Once the financing model is launched, Wei Tao does not believe that the three of them can bear it without transferring some value to change their material lives without being forced to hold 51% of the shares.
It’s okay to fight or not to fight. It’s okay to be friends, or it’s okay to be competitors in the market. Wei Tao asked Guan Jinyue to come back and hand it over to her. He thought that his true destiny company had arrived before, but after an afternoon, he suddenly thought that by the time MiHoYo started, he should have achieved financial freedom. At that time, do you still need to care about whether there is a potential company that can make your own bank?
It has really exceeded the time period for my rebirth. So for this company, can I accurately judge the correct strategic development direction?
Who can tell what will happen in the future? Maybe by then I will have grown to the level of an Internet boss and be able to easily control the company's development; or maybe I will lose heart by then.
He was satisfied, but Guan Jinyue was dissatisfied. She didn't say anything about the project after she came back, but she was very unwilling to accept Wei Tao's generosity. According to her idea, for such a company and three entrepreneurs, I gave You invest, give you a platform to realize your dreams, give you certain rights, and talk about shares and the like. If I open a company and give you some technology stocks, it will be good.
Even if you don't care, you can just invest one or two million, which is five million in one issue! Looking at Wei Tao, Guan Jinyue felt that his head was very big. She felt that it was necessary to talk to him and show it to outsiders. He didn't know how to refuse, and others couldn't follow him to pluck the wool by himself. Now even game developers are coming to him for investment. How could he be deceived and unconditionally inject funds for research and development in the early stage?
"Brother, are you sure you are not kidding? Do you know how much it costs to develop a game, even if it is just a skinny game or a basic game?" Facing Guan Jinyue's question, Wei Tao stared at The screen, the mouse in hand, is controlling the characters in the "Zheng-Tu" game. The price of inlaid gems is high, and Liu Lei and others are entrusted to buy them, and then trade them to him.
He reached out, grabbed Guan Jinyue's hand, held it in his hand, and grinned: "You talk to them, but don't get so angry. For things like cooperation, at this stage, suffering is a blessing. We lead and They lead, and there are two different concepts for entrepreneurial development. We lead, and they are taking advantage of the big players; they lead, and those who have dreams are their own dreams to realize, and they have no idea of taking advantage of the big players, not to mention the money from the second and third phases. , Don’t you still have to check the progress of game development? If it’s really bad, then let’s talk about it.” Guan Jinyue’s aura is getting stronger and stronger now, and she can no longer see the small transparent image with bangs and hair on the door curtain. , no longer hunched over, no longer lowered his head, no longer covering his face, no longer deliberately hiding his plump peaks, no longer deliberately constricting his talents.
In high school, I studied hard for exams just to have a stepping stone. I originally thought about achieving a reversal in college and starting a new life after graduation. However, after meeting Wei Tao, I completely reset all my plans. I started working as an investor before graduating from college, and now I have become an investment banker. A famous existence.
Last year alone, she invested in as many as 38 projects, investing more than 50 million.
Of course, such a figure is incomparable to those of big investment banks, and is just a drop in the bucket. But as an angel investor who supports young people to start their own businesses, she and Wei Tao are already very famous in the circle for their enthusiasm for Internet projects. Look, Zhang Xuhao brought Cai Yu and others over, and there were many people who had traveled thousands of miles to come.
Mr. Wei is easy to talk to, but Mr. Guan is hard to talk to. A similar understanding has already spread throughout the entire circle. Facing Guan Jinyue, Cai Yu and the others could not be said to have struggled to resist. It should be said that they could not resist at all. Fortunately, Zhang Xuhao was here. Guan Jinyue was involved in all the previous developments of Ele.me. .
Her emotional quotient and IQ, and women have innate advantages, did not have any disputes with Zhang Xuhao's team. On the contrary, every time Zhang Xuhao called Wei Tao, he was full of praise, and the same thing happened when he pulled Wei Tao to drink heavily after he came. He also said that some of his peers had said that Wei Tao was not worthy of Guan Jinyue.
Wei Tao has never worried about Guan Jinyue being pursued by some people in Yanjing Magic City. Let alone her heart, no one can get into her heart. Even if she shamelessly uses some despicable means, there is no telling whether it will work. Don't be fooled by her. If someone is deceived by his appearance and killed by him, then it must be said that he is lucky.
Wei Tao took Rebus and Zhang Xuhao to have a big drink. The latter still had a business about eating, drinking and having fun. His arrival also made the drinking game between Wei Tao and Rebus suddenly enter a manic stage. .
On the other side, Guan Jinyue and Cai Yu discussed the specific details. The result was that one day later, Cai Yu and the others saw Wei Tao as if they were relatives. The three of them were still a little emotional. After all, they were young and energetic, and they would feel aggrieved. Changes, facing the feeling of being crushed by peers in all aspects, is very uncomfortable. Even in their strongest skills, they do not find any sense of superiority in the other party.
When they first started talking to Guan Jinyue, the three of them paid more attention to how beautiful and charming she was. Apart from admiring her, before talking about business, they still had a sense of superiority, thinking that beautiful women are just vases that look good in the company. Go and have face.
When the conversation officially started, the three of them could only cover up the stunned expressions that might appear. After the man's dignity was challenged, they began to fight back with their strongest areas. The result was that Guan Jinyue on the opposite side, talking about the specific technical level, They are equally proficient and have unique ideas when it comes to developing core concepts. The three of them admire them very much.
Comparing the learning environment and pressure in high school, Guan Jinyue feels so happy now. She only studies things she is willing to learn and is interested in. Unlike studying in high school, no matter whether you don't like it or not, you still have to study for the sake of scores.
Time is tight, but learning never stops. Now Guan Jinyue is like a trapeze artist. Otherwise, she would ride to and from various projects in big cities every day. The road is the best time for her to study. With her IQ and efficiency , many things can be learned to a professional level through self-study and corresponding professional consultation, and supplemented by one's own understanding ability and rich experience, the level of what is said is so high, someone once said, If Mr. Guan went to Mr. Wei to discuss the project, it is estimated that ten projects would become ten, and all the money in Mr. Wei's hands would be invested in Mr. Guan's projects.
Guan Jinyue did not explain this. She knew that Wei Tao did not like to be in the spotlight, so since he is a lucky person, let everyone maintain this dimension of his perception.
…………After seeing off Rebus, Zhang Xuhao and others, the New Year was approaching quietly, and Wei Tao had to get busy again.
It's the end of the year, and there are some relationships that need to be moved around. Normally, you don't want to disturb him, so if you call and invite him at this time, he can't refuse.
Fortunately, if he doesn't want to drink heavily now, after expressing his refusal, few people can still hug him and hug him to express his deep feelings. He drinks in moderation every day. In order to satisfy the interests of some friends, he drinks too much. To some extent, Wei Tao had to use other entertainment methods.
It is normal to go with the flow. What he can do is not to do anything that crosses the boundaries in his own place. With Fu Xin, Fu Tiesheng and others' familiarity with the entire city, these two will help advance all the scenes that require him to take charge. Prepare.
Instead of being a host, he always behaves very low-key in order to leave quietly in the second half. It is not a matter of pretending to be a good person, but a quality issue. This is not a matter of being used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas and trying rough tea, but of being honest. Difficulty having an appetite.
Others will think it's unnecessary, and if they don't like it, they won't participate. With your current name as Mr. Wei, how much face can you give to anyone?
This is not actually the case. Wei Tao is not tired of similar occasions. On the contrary, he quite likes having fun. A group of friends who don’t interact too much in real life, but can’t be said to be unfamiliar, drink some wine. Chatting for a while, you can always hear something new and see all kinds of people and things.
Looking at Wang Shaochao, a real estate executive from the provincial capital, who is in his fifties, has a sausage mouth, a thick-lined face, a bald head, and a big belly as if he was ten months pregnant, you can imagine that he wears suits and ties during the day, and when he goes to the nightclub at night, he can talk to young people. Same thing, go to the dance floor and dance?
This is nothing, he can still chat up young girls, which makes Wei Tao admire him very much. He is such a great person. He does not discuss behavior and people, but only their mentality. If he is fifty years old, he can be so young and so beautiful. Have a fun-loving mentality?
Wei Tao sat on the sofa with a card bag, his left arm resting on the armrest of the sofa, and his chin resting on his left palm. He looked at Mr. Wang Shaochao dancing on the dance floor and chatting up the nightclub girl who was leading the dance on the small stage. The influence also means that I am eager to try. I am still young, and I am not as young as Mr. Wang. I should have fun and have fun. Does the identity of Mr. Wei mean that I have to sit on the sofa with an upright posture?
Isn't it appropriate to come to this nightclub and 'spend' the night like other young people? Just as he was about to get up and relax, he saw Wang Shaochao pushing and shoving...
