Chapter 153 Venture capital from the wind
Buchanan was very happy to welcome Feng Yiping and his parents-in-law at the airport. Only from the expression on his face, Feng Yiping could see that nextdoor must have developed well.
It was exactly the same as he thought, "We have established a branch station in nearly half of New York's communities," Buchanan took the initiative to report the good news as soon as he met.
Feng Yiping gave a thumbs up without hesitation, "Very good!"
"The government's support and statements have a great promoting effect,"
Of course, no matter which country, the government's support is very important, that is, it does not support or object, does not set up additional obstacles to increase the difficulty and does not make trouble, that is also very good, let alone now it is a big fanfare support.
"Haha, this is mainly your credit," said Feng Yiping.
To be honest, only Buchanan, who knows many people and is good at dancing, can do it if he can get involved and brings so many government departments in the short term.
"Boss, don't you just hire me to do this?" Buchanan said with a smile.
Nothing can only have good aspects, and nextdoor, which is very popular, is no exception. In the office, Buchanan solemnly placed a few business cards in front of Feng Yiping.
"What is this?" Feng Yiping flipped through the company's names on these business cards. Because he was not familiar with them at all, he felt it was difficult to talk about. When he turned to the fifth one, he finally met a familiar one, "intelcapital, Intel Capital?" He looked at Buchanan and nodded.
Then I flipped through it, and the last one he was familiar with and the only one he had heard of, Sequoia Capital.
"Are all these?" He reacted.
"Yes," Buchanan moved a chair and sat opposite Feng Yiping. In order to communicate better, he bent down.
"The top ten venture capital investors in China have basically sent investment managers to interview, and some of the supervisors of several companies even called," he said.
Although this matter is a bit difficult, Buchanan still couldn't hide the pride in his words when he spoke.
In this cold winter of the Internet, their new projects are so popular that he, who was already a little nervous, calmed down and spoke more confidently in front of his old colleagues and acquaintances.
"We shouldn't have shortage of funds now, right?" Feng Yiping pondered.
Why are these venture capital companies in the United States so sensitive?
"Now, regardless of employee salaries or equipment, all costs are low. The support of local governments has also helped us solve some problems, so although we have made great strides in the past two months, there is still a surplus of funds in the account.
Moreover, in fact, if we lack funds, we should also use our existing high-quality assets to borrow from the bank. They are definitely welcome."
Both of them understand this principle. It is not a big problem if they don’t take out loans, because Feng Yiping can still invest money in the company.
However, at this time, both of them were not easy to act, and Feng Yiping became as serious as Buchanan.
"This family, Kaipeng Huaying? How did they talk to you specifically?" Feng Yiping asked Buchanan in detail, "Tell me well,"
For such a thing, they cannot help but be serious or careful.
In the United States, capital can easily be transformed into power, and capital itself is also a kind of power. If so many well-known venture capital companies come to us, it is inappropriate if they are all turned away.
Together, the funds that can be used are definitely astronomical. Feng Yiping cannot crush such an object at present.
Moreover, every well-known venture capital has a complex relationship network, which is not as good as their wishes. Then the troubles will definitely be indispensable in the future. Maybe you will even go public.
"For the nextdoor project, we can say that we still have to work hard in all aspects. For example, we are still solving the profit model, so in the near future, in order to be responsible to investors, we have no plans to increase our capital for the time being," said Feng Yiping.
Even though this seemed to be said from the other party's perspective, Feng Yiping understood that if it were just like this, he would definitely offend them completely.
For venture capitalists, this is actually the most suitable time and has prospects, but their short-term profitability is average, which is not convenient for them to get the most shares with the least money?
“However, we have other companies that are equally promising to invest in it,”
Feng Yiping talked about the two companies that are currently preparing to go public, Yijia Express Hotel and Jiasheng Automobile Website.
Listing on Nasdaq has clear requirements for the number of shareholders, and it is not easy to all of them are people within the group and are all Chinese. It is also good to take this opportunity to attract some foreigners in.
Moreover, these people have great powers in all aspects and pull them in, and they may rise sharply as soon as the stock goes public.
"That's all,"
No one wants to find another adoptive parents for the child you can raise in your family. Moreover, the adoptive parents may make a counterattack, which will defeat your biological parents. The venture capital and the company cooperate soon, and then start to have conflicts and kick the founder out of the company. There are too many such things.
The essence of venture capital is to make money, and it is to make as much money as possible in the shortest time as possible, make big money and make quick money. Simply put, all invested companies hope to package and list as soon as possible.
You expect him to always stand in the position of the company and collective, just like the founding team, and consider the long-term development of the company. How is that possible?
For them, making money is the bottom line. As for whether the company develops well after their funds are recovered, that is not the key.
It is better to provide them with these companies that are about to go public. While there is no reason to sell them at a low price, it will also reduce the difficulty of going public and save trouble.
The matter was discussed and Buchanan seemed to have something to say, and seemed a little hesitant, which is rare for people like him.
"Is there still trouble?" Feng Yiping asked.
"I am very grateful to Yiping for the opportunity you provide me, which is very rare and perfect," Buchanan said seriously. "By this opportunity, I was able to have in-depth contact with many people. Now my relationship with them is stronger than before. And outsiders don't know the details. They regard the success of nextdoor as my credit, so there are more people who recognize me now than before."
Feng Yiping probably heard something.
Sure enough, Buchanan continued, "There are many people who want me to return to my original circle and develop, and have been in the Chengshou. Although I have developed very well and have a good momentum, I am actually just the beginning.
You should also be clear that people with expertise and resume like you are also very important to the success of this website, so we are afraid that we will not agree for the time being.”
"I understand, I understand, I don't want to resign now," Buchanan said. "Things have to be done one by one, and we have to do it, and we must wait until everything is on track before we talk about it. But I'm afraid that it will be too abrupt to propose it at that time, so I will communicate with you in advance."
"I will let Mr. Jin handle this matter," Feng Yiping was a little disappointed when he looked at Buchanan, who seemed more steady and confident and more intense because of the bright prospects of the project he was in charge of, and Feng Yiping was a little disappointed. This was a talent that he had finally met. Who knew whether his ambition was political.
21 In fact, the most rare thing is indeed talent. (To be continued.)
