Chapter 553
(I wish you all a happy New Year and all the best!)
"I have a little understanding of Cai Xincong. I know that he is quite famous overseas. I don't know that the financing of the Forty Thieves was actually led by him. With such a person joining the Forty Thieves, it seems that there will be a lot of pressure on Duobao's teaming. Hehe, Feng Qingyang, Cai Xincong, and the merger of the two swords!"
Although there is something to pretend, Gao Mu's feelings are still real. The forty thieves merged with the two swords are indeed Duobao Pinpin's biggest competitor.
No one knows the importance of Cai Xincong in the development of the company's forty thieves, and the importance of the company's development process, more clearly than Gao Mu.
"Hey, Mr. Gao's evaluation is the same as our Mr. Xiong. The two swords merged. With the cards currently on the surface, although Mr. Shao and Mr. Tan of Duobao Pinpin are two sea turtles, the gap is still very big compared with Cai Xincong and Feng Qingyang's two swords merged with each step. Now it seems that Duobao Pinpin seems to be ahead of the forty thieves every step, but the risk of being overtaken is actually always there."
Xu Yingjia talked happily, talking about their IDG's analysis of the current status and future development of the two companies.
In addition to burning money, Internet entrepreneurship is more important than the ability of the founder and management team. According to the current information analysis of the two companies, the potential of the forty thieves is obviously greater than that of Duobao Pinpin, which is currently leading.
This is not their internal self-confidence or their own good feelings, but professional analysis and judgment made by professional venture capital investors like IDG. It is not their family, but most industry venture capital investors have similar judgments.
"It seems that Mr. Xu and your IDG team's 40th thieves are really optimistic about the future."
Of course, Gao Mu could see all this clearly. What he knew more than outsiders was that all the advantages of Duobao Pinpin were on him alone.
Although Shao Yibo and Tan Yangying are not bad at all abilities and are also elites in the turtle industry, it depends on who they compare with. Compared with the boss Cai Xincong, they become much more immature.
In the future head-on confrontation, if they rely on the two of them, they will not be able to see clearly outsiders, they may not have enough confidence.
On the premise that Gao Mu's own advantages are not revealed or cannot be revealed, the vertical comparison between the Forty Thieves and Duobao Pinpin is a reality.
"It's right to be optimistic, but unfortunately it's useless."
It is rare to feel such melancholy and loss in an elite like Xu Yingjia.
"Oh, why? Is it because you IDG failed to participate in the first round of financing for the Forty Thieves?"
In this way, it shouldn’t be possible for people like Xu Yingjia to express such feelings. If you didn’t seize the opportunity for the first financing, you should focus on the second financing and give more preferential conditions. Are you still afraid that there will be no chance?
For startup Internet companies like the Forty Thieves, for powerful people like IDG Capital, they should welcome them with both hands.
"Hey, I had a great time talking with Mr. Gao today. I'm not afraid of exposing some things to you. I'm afraid we can never participate in the financing of the Forty Thieves."
"Oh, why?"
The reason behind this is really hard for Gao Mu to understand. IDG Capital is rich and optimistic about the Forty Thieves. The Forty Thieves think
To develop, money is also needed. The two should be said to be the existence that each other needs, and the only thing that requires coordination is the condition of cooperation.
But since the forty thieves can allow Yinruida and other capital to raise funds, it means that the conditions can be negotiated. Are the conditions for IDG Capital's investment and financing conditions so harsh that it cannot be coordinated?
"Hey, love, hate, love, and some things really can't be explained clearly whether it is fate or luck. Cai Xincong and our Mr. Xiong once had some estrangement overseas due to competition for a project."
Even Xu Yingjia himself felt unbelievable. Today, he talked with Gao Mu about the financing situation of the two companies, but it all involved the grudges with IDG. When did IDG have so many rivals?
"Project competition should not be an obstacle to cooperation, right? In the face of interests, what kind of competitive grudges can you not eliminate grudges with a smile?"
Making money and cooperation in interests are the fundamentals. As for competition, it is everywhere. If you don’t interact with each other because of competition and grudges, then Cai Xincong’s situation is too small.
Gao Mu doesn't believe that if a person is really in this way, how could he become Feng Qingyang's most important partner? How could he have developed the forty thieves into one of the best Internet companies in the world?
Maybe there are reasons why Xu Yingjia didn't say it or he himself didn't know.
"What's going on here? I'm afraid only Mr. Xiong knows. If he doesn't say it, we can't ask. As for the financing opportunities of the Forty Thieves, IDG naturally can only give up."
It’s a pity, of course, but IDG China is where their Mr. Xiong is the one-man show. Since it involves his face, others can’t do anything behind his back.
"Yes," Gao Mu nodded slightly, and then suddenly realized, "I understand that the reason why you IDG is so concerned about treasure hunting and fighting, Mr. Xu still wants to build a bridge from me, which is also related to your complete loss of opportunity among the Forty Thieves?"
"Master Gao Mingjian, this is the truth." Xu Yingjia received Gao Mu's support in the future, and seemed to be unprepared to hide anything from him. "You see, the forty thieves have many potential advantages, and what we are talking about today is just the tip of the iceberg. The in-depth cooperation between Duobao Pinpin and our IDG Capital is actually a win-win situation."
If a dead horse is a living horse, if a mountain fails to change another mountain, the enemy's enemy is a friend. This is all the reasons Xu Yingjia has found for himself.
Since you cannot cooperate with the Forty Thieves, you should cooperate with his opponent, and Duobao Pin Pin is obviously the best choice.
If IDG Capital invested in Duobao Pinpin and Duobao Pinpin wins another forty thieves in the near future, that would be a good thing.
"No, Mr. Xu, aren't you more optimistic about the Forty Thieves? The Forty Thieves have such great potential, which is much better than Duobao Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin
"Hahaha, Mr. Gao seems to have not enough knowledge of some things in our industry. Duobao Pinpin's neck and potential may be inferior to the 40th thieves. But it doesn't mean that he has no development potential and future. No one can tell the truth about the future. In the future, it may not be that Duobao Pinpin will lose to the 40th thieves. Taking a step back, even if Duobao Pinpin loses to the 40th thieves in the future development, he is also developing. Even if he is merged and sold, we will still make money in our financing today."
The biggest feature of Internet companies is to burn money
, and the biggest advantage after burning money is that although no profit is generated, the company's valuation will grow with each financing.
So Xu Yingjia's meaning is very clear. Unless Duobao Pinpin cannot continue to develop and goes bankrupt halfway, their investment will be lost.
"Mr. Xu is so optimistic about IDG's financing for Duobao Pinpin? Are you not afraid of the money from financing being wasted?"
Gao Mu confirmed again and again.
"Of course, Duobao Pinpin and our IDG cooperation will definitely be a win-win situation. With our financial support, it may not be impossible to oppress the forty thieves in development. They have the merger of Cai Xincong and Feng Qingyang's double swords, and we can also help Duobao Pinpin find professional managers of the same level."
While chatting with Gao Mu, Xu Yingjia was also thinking deeply about some things. Duobao Pinpin has always had advantages. The only thing they saw was that there was no Cai Xincong, no international management system, and there might be no broader vision and pattern.
Since they know where the shortcomings are, they can completely make up for them in a targeted manner. If they compete with each other, it is really unknown who will win in the end!
"Mr. Xu is optimistic?" Gao Mu smiled faintly, "Actually, like Mr. Xu, I am quite confident in Duobao's future?"
Gao Mu is definitely the one who is most confident about the future of the company. He knows the potential of Duobao's Pin Pin, and where the potential lies.
Xu Yingjia's words make sense, but he can't see many things, so he naturally cannot make some accurate analysis. He is actually standing opposite to the forty thieves.
opposite!
It is a good thing that IDG Capital can stand opposite to the forty thieves, and it is also a good thing for Duobao Pinpin.
Perhaps, Gao Mu can still make such an ally, but it seems that he can't use it now, but it's hard to guarantee that he is not a good helper in the future. But now he is unwilling to let them raise funds and fight for the battle. He is unwilling to accept that there are not many benefits and too much concessions.
"Hahaha, Guo Hero has the same views. I knew that since you can help them operate Penguin Technology's shares, you must be optimistic about their platform."
"Of course." Gao Mu grinned, "But I think they may be a little different from Mr. Xu."
"No matter what kind of optimism is, I am optimistic about the future of Duobao Pin Pin." Xu Yingjia completely misunderstood what Gao Mu meant, "So, Mr. Gao, are you willing to help build a bridge?"
Looking forward, looking at Gao Mu with anticipation.
Gao Mu did not answer immediately, holding the teacup in his hands, turning slowly, and the conference room suddenly became quiet.
Xu Yingjia's expectations gradually became nervous.
"Mr. Xu, it's not that I don't want to help." After a long time, Gao Mu stopped his hand and looked at Xu Yingjia with a sincere look. "I can't help because of this."
"Why?"
I am very unwilling to give up. If I miss such a good opportunity, I may really miss Duobao Pinpin, which will become another pain for IDG.
"Because I know that Duobao Pinpin does not have any financing needs, their development funds are still sufficient now. Let's put it this way, they will not be able to raise funds within three to five years."
"Ah, how do you know?"
"Because Duobao's Pin Pin is mine."
