The white Li Yanhong was drinking tea in her room. She came to West Lake and drank West Lake Longjing. It should have been a very pleasant thing to listen to the sound of rain outside, but the more she drank the tea, the more uncomfortable she became.

I originally thought about getting in touch with some capital this time to see if I could get some investment, but the capital's speech in the morning poured cold water on the Internet industry.

In fact, the financing is not bad. In September last year, he just received the second financing of 10 million US dollars. To be honest, this money is definitely enough to burn for a while. Now there is no shortage of funds.

But sometimes there is money, but in the Internet industry, there is no saying that you will have to find money after the last financing money is spent.

Generally, the target and time for the next financing are set just after the current financing is completed, because in the Internet industry, whether it is publicity, development progress, or users, it all costs money. Every time the financing reaches

The accountant must accurately calculate how long the money can be burned.

Then, how far is the company's development progress, how many users will it increase, and then the time for the next financing, the required amount, and the approximate number of shares to be given up will be determined.

If you wait until the money is gone before looking for investment, then the day lily will be cold, so this Internet company will not have time to say that it has enough money.

Of course it would be good to get investment if you can get it, but if you can't get it now, don't be too anxious.

The key now is the issue of the general environment. If we are not optimistic about it, then where is the future of the Internet industry? We have money now, but after it is spent, what is the future of the Internet industry?

If Li Yanhong here can still hold on and is just worried about the future, then Xiao Ma, who lives in the room next to Li Yanhong, is worried about the present.

When Penguin was founded, he didn't think much about creating such a thing, but as time went by, he realized how difficult it is to start a business.

Just renting a server every month costs 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. I even wanted to sell the company for 3 million yuan, but no one bought it.

Just when they were running out of ammunition and food, the partners suggested that they look for venture capital. This was the first time they heard this term.

But fortunately, we got an investment, and the company was finally able to support it. IDG and Yingke invested a total of 2.2 million US dollars, and it was barely able to survive. The number of users has been increasing, and there seems to be a bright future.

And a better future.

But I never thought that just a few days after the good days, the Internet's winter came. It was about to get the next round of financing. Now there is no need to say whether to raise money or not. The two shareholders who came in from the last round of financing

, idg and Yingke now want to withdraw.

I am anxiously looking for someone to transfer my shares. Damn it, once the two shareholders leave, what will happen to this company? If everyone comes in and wants to take advantage of them and leaves, then who will be willing to provide further financing?

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the drizzle outside and was about to go find the two people he hadn't seen yesterday when a call came from Wang Zhidong, saying that he had made an appointment with someone from Goldman Sachs and that Yingke was also here.

I want to talk about Xinlang Shares.

"Well then, there is a teahouse down there. Let's meet there in ten minutes." Jiang Xiaobai hung up the phone. It seems that meeting Mr. Li and Brother Ma can only wait until the evening.

When Jiang Xiaobai arrived with Zhao Xiaojin, Mr. Wang from Goldman Sachs, Mr. Liu from Yingke and Wang Zhidong were already waiting.

"Dr. Jiang."

"Director Jiang." The three of them stood up and greeted Jiang Xiaobai, who shook hands with the two of them.

"Dr. Jiang, these are Mr. Wang from Goldman Sachs and Mr. Liu from Yingke."

"Hello, sit down, sit down and chat." Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile.

Mr. Wang and Mr. Liu from Yingke nodded somewhat restrainedly and sat down. Goldman Sachs was a little better, but Mr. Liu was different.

Yingke is the company of Mr. Li's son. Before this, Jiang Xiaobai took care of Mr. Li in the mainland, let alone Yingke.

To be honest, when Mr. Li was negotiating with Jiang Xiaobai, he almost didn't transfer Yingke over as compensation to Jiang Xiaobai. If that were the case, then maybe the boss of Yingke would be Jiang Xiaobai now.

So when facing Jiang Xiaobai, he seemed very unsure.

"That's it. I had a chat with Wang Zhidong yesterday. I'm still very interested in Xinlang. It's the winter of the Internet. Are you two prepared to make some profit and stop the loss in time?" Jiang Xiaobai came up.

He said straight to the point.

There is no need to beat around the bush with these VCs. As long as they have enough money, there is nothing they can't talk about. If they don't have enough money, no matter how beautiful their words are, it will be useless. Capital pursues profit, which is instinctive.

"Dr. Jiang, I would like to ask, are you optimistic about the future of Xinlang or the future of the Internet industry?" Mr. Wang from Goldman Sachs pondered for a moment, but did not answer Jiang Xiaobai's words, but asked rhetorically.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "This question is actually meaningless at all. Whether it is Goldman Sachs or Yingke, I believe you all have your own investment strategies, views on an industry and your own investment direction.

Now is the cold winter of the Internet. Can I change your investment strategy if I say I am optimistic? Or if I say I am not optimistic, you will stop investing. Obviously this is impossible."

"When I invest, I have my reasons for investing. There must be reasons why I am optimistic about it. Just like if you were willing to invest in Xinlang two years ago, you must have your reasons. But now that you want to withdraw, it must be after

Research and have sufficient reasons to leave the market,

Your reasons and opinions will not affect my decision, and similarly, my investment philosophy will not change your company's investment direction and investment strategy."

Jiang Xiaobai said, and Mr. Wang from Goldman Sachs and Mr. Liu from Yingke nodded in agreement. Jiang Xiaobai was not their boss, so of course it would not affect the decisions of their two companies.

When a company grows bigger, it depends on the decision of the board of directors, that is, the CEO needs to deploy the company in accordance with the board of directors' philosophy.

"So you want to leave now, and I want to come in. We both hit it off right away. I think what needs to be discussed now is just the price. There is no need to discuss anything else. If you want to know my opinion, then we have time after the business is over.

Let’s chat.” Jiang Xiaobai looked at Mr. Wang and Mr. Liu and smiled.
Chapter completed!
