"What's the big deal?"
Lu Fei saw Liu Ge Dongfeng in a hurry, and then Zhang Yong rushed over in a hurry. With this look and expression, he thought that the round C financing talks were deadlocked or even collapsed.
As a result, after a long time of fussing, co-author Goldman Sachs took the initiative to go to Feigou headquarters and have a serious solo session with himself.
"It's not just Goldman Sachs, so what?"
"No, Mr. Lu, this is Goldman Sachs!"
Liu Edong may not feel the "notoriety" of Goldman Sachs. Zhang Yong is the CFO, so he naturally knows the terror of Goldman Sachs. It is ridiculed as the beacon among the American lighthouses and the unstoppable beacon of Wall Street.
Lu Fei showed no awe, "He came to me because he thought our offer for financing was too high, or because the 10% equity stake was too small?"
Zhang Yong replied: "Both, and I hope Goldman Sachs will lead the C round, and I don't want to introduce other investment institutions."
"Which one do you think will lead the Series C round between Sequoia Capital and Goldman Sachs?" Lu Fei said.
"Goldman Sachs." Liu Edong and Zhang Yong said almost in unison, without communicating with each other in advance.
The facts are before our eyes. Goldman Sachs is now a "big celebrity" in China.
Around the turn of the millennium, due to years of bad debts, the accumulation of non-performing assets of the four major banks was quite high. Only by divestment and capital injection could they be listed.
As a result, Great Wall, Oriental, Cinda, and Huarong were born, collectively known as the four major AMCs, specializing in disposing of banks' non-performing assets.
These non-performing assets were bundled together, amounting to 1.4 trillion RMB. We had to find foreign capital to digest them together, so we came up with the "buy a ticket" plan. If you want to get official permission to enter the financial market, you can pay for a part of it. of non-performing assets first.
Because the Enron scandal hit Wall Street last year, major investment banks were overwhelmed with attention. Goldman Sachs became the first to eat crabs, and it was also full of greed. From now on, it will be the only foreign financial institution with dual "Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (QFII)" certificates. mechanism.
Lu Fei touched his chin, feeling quite clear in his mind.
Feigou.com has Goldman Sachs as its investment partner, so it can benefit both domestically and overseas. It can get twice the result with half the effort in a short period of time. The bad thing is that Goldman Sachs is famously "greedy" and good at planting minefields.
"I decided to lead 7% of the investment in Sequoia. Which of you agrees and who opposes?"
Liu Edong couldn't understand the mystery behind it, but Zhang Yong knew it right away. Mr. Lu wanted capital, but he wanted people who were obedient, not troublemakers.
"I agree. Sequoia has promoted Yahoo, Apple, and Oracle. Technology stocks have more experience in this area."
Lu Fei said: "Call Sequoia."
………………
An hour later, a group of five people from Goldman Sachs came to Hailong Building to have coffee with Lu Fei.
"Mr. Lu, I am the partner managing director of Goldman Sachs. Entrusted by CEO John Thornton, I am fully responsible for China Investment Affairs."
Xu Ziwang speaks with a slight Wu Nong accent, wears a pair of square-rimmed glasses, is meticulous, and has the shrewdness of a Shanghai man between his brows.
Lu Fei shook hands with him and said, "Hello, Goldman Sachs is a famous name that everyone from Wall Street to China knows."
"Mr. Lu's name is known to everyone from Hawaii to Alaska."
Xu Ziwang took a copy of "The World is Flat" from his subordinate, "I am your fan, can you sign it for me?"
Lu Fei signed generously, but his vigilance increased accordingly. When your enemies start complimenting you and praising you, you should start to be careful.
After signing, the two groups entered the conference room and sat facing each other. Xu Zi looked at the coffee over there.
On Lu Fei's side, he blew on the steaming water and said, "My CFO told me that Goldman Sachs is asking for US$220 million for 10% of Feigou.com. Are you a little confused?"
"Just a little confused."
Xu Ziwang said seriously: "President Lu mentioned in the book that China's accession to the WTO will integrate into the global division of labor and become the world's factory. Feigou.com will make the products of the 'world's factory' more efficient and smooth around the world.
However, global trade supports genuine goods, and Feigou.com is full of fake goods. Many merchants make and sell fake Nike shoes..."
Lu Fei frowned slightly, as if he wanted to lower the price as soon as he came up.
Putting aside the fake goods, he said: "Mr. Xu is a returnee who studied abroad and has a successful career. Do you know how many people are unemployed in China in recent years?"
Xu Ziwang said: "Probably more than 10 million."
"No!"
Lu Fei shook his finger, "It's more than 20 million, or even more, because a large number of migrant workers are actually unemployed, but there is no statistics. Farming is the work of farmers, and a small country has only tens of millions of people. If there are What will happen if half the people are unemployed?”
Liu Edong was horrified when he heard this, and stared at him with admiration in his eyes.
Xu Ziwang pondered for a moment, and the other four people in the same row looked at each other. One of the young people said, "Why don't you rent out the idle land?"
"As expected of Goldman Sachs, what a talent!"
Lu Fei made a weird remark, which Liu Edong and others found irritating and ridiculous, and their perception suddenly dropped, just like life is difficult, why not rent out the extra house, the same reason.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu."
Xu Ziwang immediately glanced at the young man who interrupted rashly. The negotiation had just begun and the initiative was slowly deviated.
"My elder brother and sister-in-law are all laid-off workers. It is quite difficult to make ends meet and maintain a family."
Lu Fei had a righteous look on his face, standing on the highest moral ground.
"The original intention of Feigou.com is to bring goods to the world, but the premise is to help the world and let more unemployed people have food to eat. Compared with making and selling fakes, solving the problem of food and clothing is their main conflict. Some merchants It is inevitable that they have gone astray, and they indeed need to be corrected and severely punished.
However, Feigou is not the only one who sells fake goods. It exists on every e-commerce platform, including Amazon and eBay, but the severity of the situation is different. "
Xu Ziwang saw him wielding the supreme moral sword, and quickly raised the legal sword to face A, and retorted: "But they have strengthened supervision and resolutely cracked down on counterfeiting. Feigou.com's supervision is too lax, and it seems to be conniving. This is detrimental to the website." The reputation and reputation are very bad.”
"Connivance? No, we have nothing to do with fakes!"
Lu Fei banged the table, and the sudden sound startled everyone at Goldman Sachs. Then his style changed and he said with a smile:
"But tea needs to be sipped in sips, and the journey has to be done step by step, and the fight against counterfeiting must be based on laws. Now the industrial and commercial administration and market order regulatory agencies have just been established. What type of counterfeiting and how to fight against counterfeiting? We are a company and we must keep up. national law.”
Xu Ziwang never expected that he wanted to use counterfeit goods, connive to crack down on counterfeiting, and kill Feigou.com, but Lu Fei's eloquence has reached a state of perfection. He is as powerless as using the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the officials of this dynasty. He is invincible. The holy sword of law was swung empty.
“Feigou.com is not without action. We have strengthened our supervision. We will remove counterfeit goods from the shelves and provide refunds and compensation, or close the store and order rectification. We have also established Jingdong Mall and introduced a large number of official authentic flagship stores... "
Lu Fei spread his hands, "Our counterfeit rate is declining, and the genuine rate has been steadily increasing."
Xu Ziwang took a sip of coffee, calmed down, and glanced at the four "thugs" he brought, and they immediately charged into the battle.
Liu Edong, Zhang Yong, and Xu Lei wanted to help, but found that it was unnecessary.
I saw Lu Fei alone, drinking a cup of green tea, chatting with other scholars, opening his mouth to "empower, grasp, and precipitate" and closing his mouth to "high-frequency contact, rapid iteration".
There is one slang after another on the Internet. Goldman Sachs' thugs are in finance, not the Internet. They can't beat him at all. They can't open their mouths because they can't even speak the slang clearly.
"Fake goods must be suppressed at all times! If we don't suppress them, it won't work. Think about it, you worked hard to build a brand, sweated and fantasized about getting rich, and suddenly you were faked... So, insist on the platform to fight against counterfeiting, It’s a good platform!”
"What is the theory of consumer evolution? Natural selection, survival of the fittest."
"Make the people rich, the people are getting rich, consumption continues to upgrade, online shopping follows the trend, breaks the barriers, upgrades the positioning, opens up the market for genuine products, good money drives out bad money, and fake goods fundamentally decrease..."
"The relationship between fakes and e-commerce is the relationship between sunlight and flies. If you open the windows, users can enjoy the bright sunshine, and flies will also take the opportunity to fly in. That doesn't matter, we just spend our efforts to swat the flies and leave. We can't do it because we hate flies. , just shut out the sunlight..."
Lu Fei was eloquent and had a loud voice. He glanced at Goldman Sachs one by one. "I'm right. Who am I afraid of?" But he didn't say Yu Zecheng's lines——
The real thing is so expensive, so what’s wrong with selling some fake ones?
Liu Edong and Xu Lei looked at each other and carefully savored the quotations of the sage master, Master Lu. They seemed to make sense, but they felt something was wrong.
Xu Ziwang felt like he was in class. Although he didn't understand, he was greatly shocked. He was indeed a master who could write "The World is Flat"!
"Do you have any questions about Feigou.com? If you have any questions, just ask and I can answer them."
Lu Fei saw that the whole hall was completely silent. He drank his first sip of tea since the meeting and moistened his throat.
Who else!
