The next morning.
Pulling Capital, office.
Jiang Xiaoguo handed the project plan she had worked so hard to prepare to Zhou Xun.
Zhou Xun opened the file, glanced at it briefly, and then looked up at her: "Is this the project you found after staying up all night?"
"Um!"
Jiang Xiaoguo nodded lightly, feeling uncertain about whether the project he was looking for would be recognized.
"Ai Pin, you have some discernment!" Su Hang glanced at the side and said.
"real?"
Hearing Su Hang's words, Jiang Xiaoguo suddenly smiled.
"More than a little, just like Brother Ma!" Su Hang said with a smile.
Although his words were praising Jiang Xiaoguo, they always sounded different, mixed with a little joking...
"ah?"
Jiang Xiaoguo showed a puzzled expression.
"An hour ago, Aipin was acquired by Penguin!" Zhou Xun explained.
"ah?!"
This news was a shock to her, and Jiang Xiaoguo was confused when she heard it.
The project that I worked so hard on all night ended up being in vain!
"I'll give you one more day. If you still can't do it, I'll have to go back to administrative work." Zhou Xundao said.
The front desk belongs to the administrative department.
"Uh... But Wendy is coming back soon." Jiang Xiaoguo said calmly.
"So you have to think carefully about whether there is a place for you in the company." Zhou Xun said expressionlessly.
"oh."
Jiang Xiaoguo left the office with a disappointed look on his face.
Back at the front desk, she began to think hard.
"Looking for projects, looking for projects, it's not that easy to find projects. There are so many investment companies in Shenzhen, and good projects have been snatched up long ago... Where can I find them?"
Jiang Xiaoguo held her chin, sighed, and flipped through the news on the Internet aimlessly, when she suddenly saw a familiar name.
""Zhenglang"? Isn't this a game produced by Brother Chen's company? By the way, I don't know how their company is developing..."
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaoguo's heart moved and she searched the Internet for news about Ax Company.
You don’t know this by looking at it, you’ll be shocked when you see it!
"It turns out that the games made by their company have become so popular. They must have made a lot of money. I have to let him treat me to dinner one day... I'm still thinking about where to find projects, isn't this it!" Jiang Xiaoguo suddenly slapped his head, He said with a flash of inspiration.
Then, she began to collect information about Ax Company. She didn't even understand the lunch, and hurriedly made a project report and submitted it to Zhou Xun.
"Ten days after it went online, there were more than 2 million registered users. There is currently no similar product on the market. If these data are ok, then this company does have the potential to become a unicorn in the werewolf killing industry. Wow, I never thought you could actually find one. Project!" Zhou Xun glanced at her in surprise, but still affirmed her work.
"Mr. Zhou, do you think so little of me?" Jiang Xiaoguo secretly rolled his eyes and said angrily.
"hehe……"
Zhou Xun used his laughter to express his attitude. At the same time, he opened the file and took a look: "Axe Network Technology, I seem to have heard this name somewhere."
"This is the company run by my classmate. We met at the airport last time." Jiang Xiaoguo reminded.
"Oh, it's him!" Zhou Xun remembered. He remembered that he had received a business card from the other party.
"Mr. Zhou, does this project meet your requirements?"
Jiang Xiaoguo looked at him expectantly. After he nodded, he immediately said, "I have completed your mission. Can I be in a group with you now?"
"I asked you to find a good project before. Finding doesn't mean discovery, but signing a contract. Let's wait until you get the investment contract finalized." Zhou Xun said expressionlessly.
"Ah?" Jiang Xiaoguo looked bitter.
…
After handing over all the work on hand to Yang Jiaen, Yang Chen was finally free.
While he was in a daze in the office, he suddenly received a call from Jiang Xiaoguo.
"In order to be Zhou Xun's assistant, you targeted my company... You are too ungrateful!" Hearing the purpose of her call, Yang Chen couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm so sorry……"
Jiang Xiaoguo apologized repeatedly, and finally said: "But I still want to ask, does your company need investment? If so, you can consider our company Pulling Capital."
"Haha, I was just joking. Business investment is a normal thing. Some people want to invest in our company, which is a good thing. However, our company does not need investment at the moment." Yang Chen laughed.
"ah!"
Jiang Xiaoguo said with some disappointment, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore!"
"Wait a minute, although our company does not need investment, I can help you cover up and make some changes." Yang Chen said to her: "Just tell Zhou Xun that the investment intention has been initially negotiated, but the specific situation needs to be disclosed He will come to negotiate in person. In this way, if the negotiation fails in the end, it will be Zhou Xun's problem and has nothing to do with you."
"Thank you, thank you so much!" Jiang Xiaoguo quickly thanked him.
This is really a mountain with no way out, and a village with dark flowers and bright flowers.
After hanging up the phone, she immediately ran to Zhou Xun's office and said to him: "Boss, I have already negotiated the investment intention. However, you need to discuss the specific content with him in person."
"Oh, it was concluded so quickly. It's a good job!" Zhou Xun was a little surprised.
"Look, Mr. Zhou, the investment intention has been negotiated. I have fulfilled all your requirements. Can I be your assistant?" Jiang Xiaoguo said with a flattering smile.
"Let's wait until the contract is concluded." Zhou Xun said calmly.
"Humph, I knew that was the case." Jiang Xiaoguo secretly rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice.
"What did you say?" Zhou Xun looked up at her.
"Nothing, nothing..." Jiang Xiaoguo said quickly.
"Why don't you go get ready? I'll negotiate with you later." Zhou Xundao said.
Hearing his words, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but be startled, and then shouted happily: "Okay, I'll get ready right now!"
After saying that, he left the office in a hurry.
The boss will not bring an irrelevant person to negotiate. Bringing you is a kind of recognition.
This shows that you have fallen into the boss's eyes.
Jiang Xiaoguo was secretly happy. Although she had not received a clear answer from Zhou Xun yet, the position of assistant was already beckoning to her.
Soon, Yang Chen received a call from Zhou Xun.
They arranged to meet at a nearby coffee shop.
For the venture capital industry, investing is a race against time, and no time can be wasted.
An hour later, they met at the coffee shop.
"Mr. Zhou, we meet again." Yang Chen stretched out his hand and said with a smile.
"Mr. Yang, I hope we can cooperate this time." Zhou Xun shook hands with him and sighed secretly. He didn't expect to meet again under such circumstances.
After greetings, the three of them sat down in a semi-open box.
"We are all busy people. There is no need to waste time. Let's get straight to the point. I wonder what Mr. Zhou's valuation of our company is?" Yang Chen said with a smile.
Zhou Xun pondered for a moment and spit out a number.
"500 million!"
While speaking, he was also observing Yang Chen's reaction, trying to read his inner thoughts through his expression.
Negotiation means bargaining and testing each other.
"hehe!"
Yang Chen chuckled lightly.
He didn't know whether Zhou Xun could see his thoughts, but he could see Zhou Xun's thoughts clearly.
Mind-reading is a powerful weapon in business, and in negotiations, it is almost always unfavorable.
500 million is just a number Zhou Xun used to test him. In fact, he can accept it as long as it does not exceed 1 billion.
"500 million? Haha, with the profitability of "Zhenglang", it can earn at least 500 million a year!" Yang Chen said calmly: "If this is the final estimate given by Mr. Zhou, then there is no need for us to continue talking. .”
"Yes, judging from the current development of "Zhenglang", it is indeed possible to earn 500 million a year. But this is only the current situation..." Zhou Xun paused, looking at Yang Chen's expression, and said : "Currently, there is only one game "Zhenglang" in the werewolf market, so your company's profit is very good. However, the popularity of the werewolf market is already foreseeable. It will not take long before a large number of competing Internet companies will flood into it. Especially in pig and goose factories, when predators of this level intervene, your company will face huge challenges."
"The Internet industry is a winner-takes-all industry where one company dominates. We are taking a big risk by investing in your company."
"Haha, it seems that Mr. Zhou still doesn't know enough about our company." Yang Chen shook his head slightly, took out several patent certificates and threw them in front of Zhou Xun, saying: "The trademark of the Werewolf game has been taken over by our company. In addition, , we have also applied for patent protection for several classic board types in the Werewolf game. These patents are the moat of our company. Although there is no guarantee that "Zhenglang" will be the dominant player in the market, it is enough for our company to survive. And it occupies a large share of the market.”
Seeing these patent documents, Zhou Xun's expression changed slightly.
He only noticed the Ax Company a few hours ago and had no time to conduct in-depth investigation. He did not find these patents.
Naturally, these patents cannot block all competitors.
In the market, as long as they can make money, capitalists can think of any way.
It is not too difficult for them to bypass these patents.
However, as Yang Chen said, these patents are enough for "Zhenglang" to survive in the fierce market competition in the future.
"Mr. Zhou, do you want to hear my valuation of the company?" Yang Chen said.
"Mr. Yang, please tell me," Zhou Xundao said.
"The werewolf killing market has great potential just now, and "Zhenglang" also has great potential. My valuation of the company is 10 billion. With these patents, as long as we do a good job in publicity, the company's future market value will reach tens of billions. It is not What a difficult thing." Yang Chen smiled. "Of course, that is the situation in the future. If I call out a valuation of 10 billion now, I am afraid I will be ridiculed for overestimating my abilities. However, if I call out a valuation of 3 billion now, I will definitely be recognized by most venture capital investors."
Zhou Xun's face darkened, but he did not deny it.
"It just so happens that I also know something about Pulling Capital. Your company's current account should have less than 100 million in funds. I don't know how many shares Mr. Zhou wants. If it's only two or three billion, then I'd better not say anything. I , not short of money. To be honest, I have 200 million in cash on hand right now and I don’t know how to spend it. I also plan to invest in your company." Yang Chen said with a smile.
Zhou Xun sighed secretly. At this point, there was no need to talk anymore.
If we continue talking, we will only bring humiliation to ourselves.
"I'm really sorry. We were not prepared this time. I hope we can cooperate again in the future." He returned the document to Yang Chen, stood up, shook hands with Yang Chen, and planned to leave.
"It doesn't matter, business cannot be done without righteousness. I admire Mr. Zhou's ability very much. I wonder if Mr. Zhou has ever thought about... cheating!" Yang Chen said suddenly.
He came to see Zhou Xun this time for two purposes.
First, it was to help Jiang Xiaoguo lie.
Secondly, it is to poach people.
